After Li Xiao finished talking to Li Zheng, he also said: Your mother will be in the country next month, and the princess of the Jingji family will also come, and your marriage will also be held at that time

After hearing this, Li Zheng said in a deep voice: Yes, my father

Li Xiao nodded and said: The Kyogoku family is in the North Omi area, and there are many wealthy families who are still inclined to him, and they also have influence in, and we married the Kyogoku family for the sake of Shangluo

Li Zhengyan said: Father, I understand that I will handle the relationship between Princess Ju and Princess Kyogoku

At present, in Li Xiao's family, Ju Ji is not only the wife, but also the princess of the main family, her status is unquestionable, and after Li Xiao gave birth to a grandson, the third generation of the Li family governor under Li Zheng in the future has been decided

As for the marriage of the Kyogoku family, it was also to help Li Zheng expand his influence on Omi and prepare for Kamiraku's future dealings with the Kyoto minister

Li Xiao said slowly: This marriage affair must be grand, so that people can see the prestige of my own family, and when the time comes, the governor of the Kyogoku family, Kyogoku Gaoji, and his son Kyogo Takaji will also arrive in the family, and I will include them as retainers for the purpose of stabilizing in the future

Li Zheng understood that Li Xiao meant that he wanted to make the Kyogoku family a feudal daimyo in the future and directly seal it in the area

From Li Xiao's meaning, it can be known that the strategic direction of the family in the future is that Kamiraku will control, where Kyoto is located

Just as Li Xiao and Li Zheng were talking about the future strategic direction of their family, at this time, a fast horse galloped over, and immediately the samurai reported to Li Xiaoyu: Report that the lord of the mansion and the lord of the horse farm have led a large army to capture the Tokugawa family's Yoshida Castle

Has Yoshida Castle finally been captured?

Li Xiao smiled slightly: It seems that Chaoyue Gong is also very powerful

Shigeharu Takenaka said to Li Xiaoyan on the side: Yagata Gong Yoshida Castle is a visit to the Tokugawa family in Mikawa and Yuanjiang has been severed, so I'm afraid Ieyasu Gong should consider subduing

Li Xiao hesitated for a moment and turned to Honda Masashi and asked: What do you think, Masashi

Honda Masanobu served Tokugawa Ieyasu Mikawa, and he was also the most qualified to answer Li Xiao's inquiries in his homeland

Honda Masanobu thought carefully for a while and said: His Royal Highness Tokugawa has a strong and resolute temperament, and even in a crisis, he has the determination to hold on, and it may not be easy to subdue him suddenly

Li Xiao nodded when he heard this, after all, Tokugawa Ieyasu was the person who created the shogunate for three hundred years in the history of the Warring States Period

In other cases, the daimyo would have been subdued in this situation, and only Tokugawa Ieyasu was also resilient in the face of the crisis

Li Xiao said with a smile: I have heard of the tenacity of Ieyasu, but I think there is also a limit, if you capture several cities again, Ieyasu will only have to subdue all the way

Speaking of which, Li Xiao asked the warrior: What about the main army

The samurai replied: Now that the lord's army has returned to Kai and disbanded the army, it is expected that after the agricultural rush, the next move should be to crusade against the relegated minister Kiso Yoshimasa

Because of Kiso Yoshimasa's betrayal, the general of the Minami Shinano Army, Nobutomo Akiyama, was killed in battle, and the Takeda family also lost the stronghold of Higashimino

Therefore, no matter what, the Takeda family must send troops to attack the Muzeng family in order to recover this blood debt

Li Xiao thought for a moment and suddenly asked: Who is the current abbot of the South Shinano Legion

The samurai replied: The lord is temporarily in command of the Minami Shinano Legion by Lord Masanori Hoshina

Li Xiao couldn't help but show relief when he heard this, the integrity of Baoke back then actually became the commander of the army

However, Akiyama Nobutomo died in battle, Kiso Yoshimasa rebelled, and the strength of the Southern Shinano Army decreased a lot compared to its heyday

After hearing the report, Li Xiao, Li Zheng, Zhu Zhongzhi, Motota, and Masanobu all left the hillside, and under the retinue of more than 100 people who were close to him, they went to the Weishan Imperial Workshop to rest, and they also prepared to inspect here

Kinoshita Hidenaga's strategy for the Hokuriku Army

On this night, when Li Xiao slept until midnight, he was suddenly woken up by the ninja voice envoy

Li Xiao got up in his clothes, and in the room, he actually saw his ninja leader Yokotani Yukishige come to the house and report to him with a straight face...,

According to the lord Echigo, news came that Uesugi Kenshin had died, and his two sons, Kamishi Keikatsu and Uesugi Keitora, were fighting for the governor of the Uesugi family, causing civil strife

Li Xiao smiled slightly when he heard this, and said in his heart, the rebellion of the Imperial Pavilion had finally arrived

It turned out that after Uesugi Kenshin's death, Uesugi Keihu Uesugi Kenmasa set out from Kasuga Mountain Castle overnight to return to Mutsu, and Ueno raised troops to fight against Uesugi Keijo, splitting the Uesugi family in two

But how is the Uesugi family governor Kamishi Jingsheng willing to sit back and watch this situation occur

At the suggestion of Naoe Kanesu, Kamishi Keikatsu immediately sent one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Kan Kashimochi, Saito Asanobu and the two to pursue Uesugi Keitora, and it was imperative to stay in Echigo's country, even at the cost of killing the other party

Uesugi Jinghu also has the means of backup, and the two generals of the Yangbei people, the two members of the Shokawa Shengchang and Kurokawa Kiyomi, have secretly taken refuge in him, and even the old Uesugi Nobuyi, who has always been deeply valued by Uesugi Kenshin and Kaishi and Jingsheng, is also on the side of Uesugi Jinghu

These three generals gathered their forces and set up an ambush, but the two of them, who were going to pursue him, fought an ambush and annihilated most of their army

Seeing Kamishi's means, it seems that this is no more than this, and the attitude of Uesugi Jinghu has changed

Uesugi Kenmasa thought that he could seize Kasugayama Castle, and with this as the center, he called on the wealthy families of Echigo countries to join the battle for the governorship

On the other hand, if Kamikashi Jingkatsu occupies Kasuga Mountain Castle, then the Uesugi family will only have the ending of splitting in two

Uesugi Kenmasa's opinion caused Uesugi Keitora, who was supposed to flee back to Mutsu, to hesitate and hesitate on the two paths

But as the saying goes, when the judgment is constantly suffering, it is chaotic

Just when Uesugi Keiho hesitated, Kamishi Keikatsu ordered King Qin to the Echigo people in the name of Uesugi Kenshin's seal judgment and the name of Youbi during his lifetime

Kamisaki Kashikatsu took out the heavy money that Uesugi Kenshin had accumulated for many years and gave it to the wealthy clans who came to support, and now in just one day, there were 5,000 Chinese people who supported Kasugi Jingkatsu, and the wealthy clan army arrived under Kasuga Mountain Castle

After receiving reinforcements, Kamishi Jingsheng immediately ordered a counterattack

Uesugi Kenmasa Uesugi Keitora wants to flee to Mutsu this time, but it is too late to regret it

The two of them couldn't get away at the moment, so they took hundreds of cronies and hid in the Kanto Consulate Hall, where Uesugi Kenmasa had previously lived, and the Imperial Pavilion took refuge

At this time, Kamishi Keikatsu led the army to surround the Imperial Pavilion and began to attack

After listening to Yokotani Yushige's speech, Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh, it was really like history, and the Uesugi family was dignified because of Uesugi Kenshin's death, which actually caused civil strife

This incident related to the succession of the Uesugi family, and the civil strife finally triggered the changes of the surrounding daimyo such as Takeda, Hojo, Date Satake, and Utsunomiya, and all of them were involved

Reshuffle the situation in Kanto

If it is the same as in history, then the rebellion of the Imperial Palace, the Uesugi family, and the ownership of the Uesugi family were not determined by the inside, but by the outside

That is, the attitude of the Takeda family, the Hojo family

Needless to say, the Hojo family must support Uesugi Keito's side, and the Takeda family supports whom

Li Xiao pondered for a while, and now the family undoubtedly has two choices, just like in history, he supported Kamishi Jingsheng, then there is no doubt that the family will have more Uesugi family, a soy sauce ally, and offend the Hojo family because of this

Under the siege of the three major forces of Oda Tokugawa Hojo

As a result, the strategic situation of the family deteriorated, and the situation was worse than when Shingen sent troops to Imagawa

Not to mention Tokugawa, Oda, Hojo, and Ishitaka are the first and second in the world at the moment

Both armies can mobilize more than 100,000 troops, and the Takeda family resists the west to resist the battle of Oda Hojo, which is just a joke

In this case, Li Xiaodu would rather quickly cut off his robe and break off his righteousness with his family, but also dissociate himself from falling into this mud pond, otherwise he would die on a chartered boat with all the mud and sand

It is true that the Nagashino Battle was a precursor to the demise of the Takeda family, but the decisive factor was that Takeda Katsuyori mistakenly chose to support Kamishi Keikatsu in the Godate Rebellion, which led to the final destruction under the siege of the three families of Oda, Tokugawa, and Hojo

So at the moment, it seems that the only second decision is to support Uesugi Jinghu...,

However, although the situation is beneficial for the present, the consequences are even greater than those of the former

Here's why

It is because of the identity of Uesugi Jinghu, Uesugi Hojo is a big force of more than one million stones, if Uesugi Jinghu is in power

The Hojo clan's Masa, Uesugi Keitor, the two brothers, one brother and one brother, echo north and south

Then Uesugi Hojo is almost one

In this way, the forces of the Kanto region do not hope for the wind

As the saying goes, if you want to be in the Hojo clan, you can be satisfied, live in Kamakura, and don't do his big dream of Hojo governance

Whether you believe it or not, everyone believes it

Kanto and are real power and righteousness

In the Kanto region, he mastered the military force, and finally seized Gyeonggi and coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes of Kiso, Yoshi, Nakagen, Yorito, and Ashikaga Honshi all do this

In this way, the Hojo clan will inevitably go to Luo, and the Takeda family will bear the brunt of the battle

Then when the Takeda family is helping Uesugi Keihoo to ascend to the throne now, it will be digging a grave for themselves in the future

Whatever the choice, then, a rupture with the Hojo family in the future is inevitable

Thinking of this, Li Xiao stood up and paced in front of Yokotani Yuishige, not that he was hesitant here, but that he had already made a plan for this situation, and he just planned it again in his chest

If you hadn't prepared in advance, you wouldn't have had to fight Uesugi Kenshin at Kurobe River

However, Li Xiaozhi's opinion is only personal, and his attitude towards the Uesugi family lies in the choice of the Takeda family, after all, as a corps commander, Li Xiao cannot independently decide the diplomatic strategy of the main family

Therefore, he had already written a secret letter about the situation, explaining the situation, and handed it over to Takeda Nobuhiro and Takeda Nobuyo

Whether they can adopt Li Xiaozhi's opinion as described in Li Xiao's letter depends on their decision in consultation with the retainers (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to (.) Vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation)
