In the castle tower, Honda Masanobu reported to Li Xiao about this envoy to Katsukoji Temple.

On the same day, when Li Xiao sent Honda Masanobu to Katsukoji Temple, he met Honganji Temple.

Honganji Xianei and Ruisenji abbot Lianqin are both present.

Therefore, Honda Masanobu asked Li Xiao to launch a matter of the first thing in Shengxing Temple, Ruiquan Temple, and asked them for help.

The two of them did not object, but Lianqin proposed to share the land of the Shenbao family with the Takeda family equally.

Honda Masanosin naturally couldn't agree on behalf of Li Xiao.

After hearing Honda Masanobu's reply, Renqin immediately showed displeasure on his face and retreated.

However, Xianrong was reasonable, and promised to use the power of Shengxing Temple alone to send out the Vietnamese strategy that had always been in full swing to support the Takeda Army.

However, Xianrong is unconditional, and Li Xiao needs to provide 5,000 troops as a subsidy, in addition, because of the experience of the last time, he has always been in a head-on battle with the Uesugi army, and if the situation is unfavorable, he will withdraw independently.

Listening to Honda Masatin relaying the conditions for the glory of Honganji, Li Xiao pondered for a while, the price of this Honganji Temple was a bit too high.

Not to mention the five thousand, and refusing to fight the Uesugi army, there is also the right to withdraw the army on its own.

Li Xiao knew that in history, when Yonglu was in the eleventh year of the Racecourse Xinfang raiding the Shenbao family, Yuezhong had always been in a position, but it provided very beneficial support.

However, the current conditions are different from those in history, and when Baba Nobubo went out to fight in Echichu, its strategic purpose was only to contain Uesugi Kenshin and flank Echigo, rather than directly occupying the territory of the Jimboo family.

Because the Takeda family has no territory and is directly connected to Yuezhong, after laying down Yuezhong, only the Yixiang Sect and the Jiangma family can divide the territory of the raiders.

And this time is different, after attacking the Shenbao family, Li Xiao can directly annex the territory of the Shenbao family and expand the power of the Takeda family to Yuezhong.

So more profit means more effort.

But at the same time, it also means that Li Xiao's strategy for Yuezhong this year will be more difficult than the historical Machang Xinfang.

Before leaving the division, such a problem appeared, and for Li Xiao, the things in the strategy of Yuezhong did not go smoothly.

Therefore, in the face of such harsh conditions of Honganji, Li Xiao thought for a while, and finally replied: "You can agree to the condition of Xianrong, but it is required that Honganji must be out of battle for at least a month, is this condition okay?" ”。

Honda Masanobu thought for a moment and said, "There should be no problem with this. ”

After Honda Masanobu stepped down, Li Xiao thought about contacting the Shiina family, and it could be expected that even if Honganji Xianei agreed, even if Honganji was out of battle at that time, most of them would be paddling and playing soy sauce, and it would be impossible for him to exert too much effort.

Therefore, Li Xiao can only count his hope on the Shiina family.

And the envoy Shiina, the person of the Li Xiao faction is well-versed in the situation of Echigo, Usami Nami.

It just so happened that Li Xiao had been speculating about the identity of Usami Nami, so he used this task to test the details of Usami Nami.

Li Xiao obtained the information from the Echigo intelligence network through Yokotani Yukishige.

A few years ago, after the failed rebellion of Usami Joman, all the hostages of Usami's family were imprisoned in Biwa Island Castle.

According to Uesugi Kenshin's original intention, he wanted to exile the Usami family to Sado Island.

However, Naoe Keisuna, who was in charge of the detention, took matters into his own hands and set a fire directly on Biwajima Castle, burning all the descendants of the Usami clan to death in Biwajima Castle.

And according to Yokotani Yukishige's investigation, there is indeed Usami Katsuyuki in the Usami clan.

Usami has a total of two sons, the son-in-law is named Usami Dingkatsu, and the second son is named Usami Katsuyuki.

However, according to Li Xiao's judgment, as the second son of Usami Dingman, such a character must be the top priority of the Uesugi family's surveillance, how could he let him escape so easily.

As far as Li Xiao knows, Naoe Jinggang is a very cautious and safe person among the generals of Echigo, and since he has decided to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, it is impossible to get rid of such an important person and leak the situation in Echigo.

And the news from Yokotani Yushige to Li Xiao said that Usami Katsuyuki should be thirty years old, but Li Xiao looked at the other party's appearance, at most twenty years old.

During a small talk, Li Xiao intentionally or unintentionally tested the other party, she seemed to realize something, deliberately reported how many years younger she was, and explained why she looked so young.

In this way, Li Xiao was even more suspicious of her in his heart. …,

However, Li Xiao sent Usami Katsu as an envoy, which was also a helpless move, because he did not have anyone who was familiar with the Shiina family and the situation in Echigo, and even if there were, most of them were ordinary people, and the envoy would not achieve the goal.

And this envoy is slightly dangerous, because the Shiina family is still a vassal of the Uesugi family, and is in a state of hostility with the Takeda family.

If you are not careful, the envoy is likely to be used as a gift by the Shiina family as a gift to show their loyalty to the Uesugi family.

Of course, Li Xiao knew this, but in history, the Shiina family really plotted against the Uesugi family, so this task seemed to be dangerous.

But things were very unexpected, he had previously sent one of Shioya Qiuzhen's subordinates to persuade Yasuyin Shiina, but he was directly locked up by the other party, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

At the moment, he can only send Usami Katsuyuki to Matsukura Castle again, hoping to try his luck, if the Shiina family does not defect, Li Xiao's strategy of Yuezhong this time will really be suspended.

And when Usami Katsuyuki told Li Xiao about this mission and listened to him describe the dangers, he agreed without the slightest refusal.

Its resolute look surprised Li Xiao a little.

Echichu, Matsukura Castle.

In the castle tower, one of the two major forces in Vietnam, the Shiina family, and the head of the family, Kang Yin, was sitting on the main seat, looking up to the sky and laughing.

Shiina Yasuyin touched the beard on his chin, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Usami Minami, who was kneeling respectfully, and said: "Your Excellency's words are so sharp, but they are reasonable, I almost moved for you, it's rare, there is such a retainer under Li Xiao, I appreciate you very much, how about coming to my Shiina family?" ”

Usami smiled slightly and said, "Shiina-sama said that he was smiling. ”

"It's not a joke," Yasuyin Shiina clasped his hands together and said, "Your resourcefulness reminds me of the demeanor of Usami Seimitsu, the first wise general of Echigo in the past, and you have his shadow in you, and you may not be inferior to him in the future." I'm confident that people are rarely wrong. ”

Usami said, "Uemon-sama, how can I be comparable to Biwajima Temple, it's too much. ”

Yasuyin Shiina sighed and said, "Biwa Island Hall, it is indeed talented, but in the end, it is a pity, or Uesugi Kenshin is better, but even so, he is still a person I admire very much." ”

When Usami heard this, her eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red, but she forced herself to press it and said, "The Siren has passed away, and it's useless to remember it, but Uemon-sama, I don't know what I proposed just now, can you give a clear answer to the lord?" ”

Yasuyin Shiina waved his robe and snorted, "This can't be done now, I need to discuss with my retainers before making a decision." ”

After saying that, Yasuyin Shiina withdrew, and ordered his sister-in-law Kosuke Shiina to personally send Usami to rest.

Yasuyin Shiina was able to send his sister-in-law to send Usami to rest, which shows that he already values each other very much.

When Usaminami came to the house where she was staying, she bowed to Kosuke Shiina and said, "Kosuke-sama, it's an honor to be able to send you here, so please turn to Uemon-sama on my behalf and convey my gratitude." ”

Seeing Usami Nami standing in front of him, Kosuke Shiina looked at her in a daze for a long time, and only after half a ring did he speak: "Miss Nami, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's great to see you again." ”

Seeing that her identity was revealed, Usami immediately raised her head, and her eyes showed a look of surprise......,
