The Takeda family's invasion of Shinano was a problem that Uesugi Terutora had to solve before he sent troops to the Kanto Plain.

Shinano is the main road in the world, and although the country is not rich, it connects the ten countries, and the strategic location is very important.

The four districts of Kawanakajima in Kita-Shinano are more than 100 miles away from Uesugi Teru Toragi Castle and Kasuga Mountain Castle, and can be reached in two days across Myoko Kogen and north.

Once the Takeda family's troops covered Kita-Shinano, it was equivalent to holding a sharp knife against the heart of Uesugi Terutora, the Takada Plains.

Can she still send troops to the Kanto Plain with peace of mind?

Uesugi Terutora and Kitashinano Murakami Yoshikiyo, Nishi-Ueno Nagano are huddled together to keep warm, which is intended to stabilize Echigo's safety.

For the echigo-shaped country, the areas related to Kita-Shinano and Nishi-Ueno on the other side of the Echigo Mountains are related to the security of Kami-Echitsu and Chu-Etsu.

Uesugi Terutora and Spo Yoshiin did not expect that the road back to Echigo would be blocked by Takeda Harunobu.

In other words, before the two of them could make a move against the Takeda family, they were attacked first and hit by Takeda Harunobu.

The arrogant Uesugi Terutora was the first to take it and couldn't bear it and asked.

"What did Harunobu Takeda do?"

Said the priest.

"As far as I know, Takeda Harunobu contacted Terashima and relied on her to convince me to prevent you from returning home.

There is also news that Yasuyin Shiina's betrayal alliance is also due to the secret operation of the Takeda family and the provocation of it.

Shiina Shigena Shigechen Koma Tsunemitsu is a believer in the sect, and he took the opportunity to introduce the forces of the Ichino sect into Shiina's family, and Shiina Yasuyin was miserably pitted.

I think that since there are two families in Vietnam and China, Takeda Harunobu has not let go, and she should be able to do things in other aspects.

I heard that this Takeda family governor is familiar with the art of war, respects his grandson, and often says that when you go to war, you will attack the city.

Come to think of it, the shot is extraordinary. ”

Uesugi Terutora snorted.

"A cunning man who hides his head and shows his tail, who has no courage to fight in battle, and loves to play some despicable tricks."

She didn't look down on Takeda Harunobu's behavior, but Yiyin was a little more jealous of this Takeda family governor.

The Kai country stone is 230,000 stone high, and the Shinano country is 370,000 stone. Although Kai has gold mines, Shinano is internally divided.

However, the Takeda family's ability to take down almost the entire Shinano with a country in the mountains where manpower and land are scarce, and almost the entire Shinano must have its merits.

War is unscrupulous, and what is sought is victory.

This Takeda family governor idolizes his grandson, so strategically he must beat the arrogant rich second generation of Uesugi Huihu, and he has to deal with it carefully.

Now the question is, what exactly did Harunobu Takeda do? The unknown is the most likely to trigger people's fear.

Spo Yiyin opened his mouth and listed them one by one.

"She will intervene in the two families of Vietnam and China, and she will definitely not let go of the sect side of the sect, no wonder Ishiyama Honganji Temple is capricious.

There are many contradictions in Echigo, and he has not yet known that the title of His Royal Highness has been decided, and it is possible to raise the flag and rebel against the people of the north and the old ministers. ”

The chief of the divine protector nodded.

"That's why I reminded the two highnesses that something big may have happened to Echigo, and you should be prepared in your heart so as not to be caught off guard."

Uesugi Terutora bowed slightly, thanked him, and smiled.

"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.

In the end, the martial arts family determines the world with martial arts, let her plan in every way, as long as I can win, there will be no problem.

It's just that Murakami Yoshikiyo is in danger, and I hope she can withstand this wave of pressure. ”

Speaking of fighting, Uesugi Terutoka's mind is particularly clear.

Takeda Harunobu disturbed Echigo and prevented Uesugi Terutora from returning home, in the final analysis, to swallow Kita-Shinano, so that Uesugi Terutora had no time to support Kita-Shinano's Murakami Yoshikiyo.

Now it seems that her purpose has been achieved. Uesugi Terutora refused to admit defeat on his lips, but he became wary of this sinister guy in his heart.

Yiyin sighed and said.

"It's useless for us to speculate here, so it's better to do our own thing."

Jimpo Nagashi and Uesugi Terutora both nodded in agreement, and the three of them continued to discuss the matter of sending troops, and no longer mentioned the Takeda family governor.

———

Kai country, Hesaki Pavilion.

Master Tianhai carefully accompanied Takeda Harunobu to speak, not daring to slack off a little.

This Takeda family governor has a dignified appearance and a provocative figure, but his temperament is peaceful and elegant, and he speaks unhurriedly and calmly.

The first time she saw him, she almost mistook this person, thinking that he was a cultural person. But I understood her identity, but I was even more afraid in my heart.

This is the ambitious daimyo of the samurai who expelled his mother from the throne and attacked Shinano.

Amami lingered in Kyoto in front of the Silver Buddha of Spoyi, and his heart was terrified.

She thought that she was plotted by the flies and dogs in the Tiantai Sect and blasphemed the Sibo family governor.

Although he was shocked by the secret news of the Ashikaga family, he was lucky to get out, but he also felt that there was nowhere to go in Kyoto.

So, he took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Kanto Kai to explain Buddhism to Takeda Harunobu of the Tiantai sect.

Before coming to Kanto, of course, she had to carefully understand the personality of this Takeda family governor, and she didn't want to soar, just to survive and protect herself.

Samurai daimyo are not good things, and the Kanto Ji samurai is synonymous with cruelty and ruthlessness.

If you don't know the details, you offend people in your words, and you are killed and buried in the Jiafei Mountains, and you can't be aggrieved.

When she saw Takeda Harunobu clearly, she had to sigh, and the British lord too.

In fact, before Takeda Harunobu took the throne, the Takeda family was on the verge of collapse.

Her mother, Takeda Nobutora, was also a warrior and invaded Shinano to fight against the various families.

In particular, the united parties defeated the Umino family in a battle, ran over it and fled to the west of the field, and defected to the same clan.

But even so, Takeda Shintora still couldn't stabilize the Shinano samurai.

For the sake of the Shinano War, the tax burden in Kai was as high as the Eight Princes and the two people, and the dark tide was surging, and the rule of the Takeda family was about to be overthrown.

Kansai has the benefits of commercial taxation, and the land output is generally implemented by the benevolent government of four public and six people, or five public and five people.

The Kanto region was bitterly cold, and most of the samurai's income came from land and minerals, and most of the fields were six dukes and four people, and there were also poor samurai families who were exploited to seven dukes and three people.

Only the Hojo family practiced the good governance of the four princes and six people, which was one of the reasons why the foreign Hojo family was ostracized by the Kanto samurai family and was able to control the hearts of the people.

Even in the harsh Kanto, it is unheard of to reach the extreme harshness of the eight princes and two people like Takeda Shintora.

If it weren't for Takeda Harunobu decisively expelling his mother and succeeding to the throne of the Takeda family, the Takeda family, the Imagawa and Hojo families, the Takeda family might have been overthrown by the angry Kai samurai.

This Takeda clan governor was skilled in strategy and brought the splinter samurai of Shinano into order.

Tianhai knows that Takeda Harunobu is an out-and-out egoist, and the so-called belief in the Tiantai sect should not be taken seriously.

She actively moved closer to the Tiantai Sect, intending to enter the Tiantai Sect and obtain the position of the Great Nizheng, in order to win over the Tiantai Sect and pave the way for the ambition of the Takeda family.

The nun system began in the imperial court era and has lasted for nearly a thousand years, and although it has been changed many times, the Daini has always been the existence of the highest of the three and five ranks.

If Takeda Harunobu gets the position of Dani Masa, his status in the Tiantai Sect will be second only to the Venerable Master of the First Sect.

How could the Tiantai Sect give her this position, and how could the shogunate explain it?

You must know that the relationship between the Takeda family and the Ashikaga family is quite bad because of the infighting of Genji in Hanoi back then.

The Tiantai sect, which is dedicated to following the shogunate, can treat Takeda Harunobu with courtesy, but Dani is in a high position?

I can only play haha and fool the past.

Tianhai's attitude is respectful, but he is a slippery head that can't squeeze oil, and Takeda Harunobu knows that the Tiantai sect's attitude towards him is just to meet the mage every day and give him some respect.

Everyone is doing superficial things to leave room for the future.

Who knows how long the shogunate will last, maybe one day the Tiantai Sect will have to beg Takeda Harunobu to be this great nun.

After a bit of hypocrisy, Tianhai smiled and retreated.

Takeda Harunobu closed his eyes for a while, and Takeda Nobushi, who was accompanying him, looked at his sister with some distress and said dissatisfied.

"These nuns don't know what to do, so why bother with them."

Harunobu Takeda replied with a smile on his face.

"You know what.

The troubled times have come, and people are flustered. It is the hearts of the people who fight the war, otherwise it will not be able to hold it after the war.

You look down on these nuns, but they can help us stabilize the hearts of the grassroots people, and what's wrong with giving them some false honor.

The power of the Takeda family is limited, so why not use it if it is used where it is needed most, and it can do twice the result with half the effort. ”

Nobuyhiro Takeda was not convinced.

"I don't think it's going to be useful to conquer Shinano."

Harunobu Takeda nodded.

"Wooing the Tiantai Sect is for the sake of world affairs, and Shinano really doesn't need it.

Is the spring ploughing thing over? How's the mobilization in the collar? ”

When Takeda Nobuyoshi saw his sister talking about business, he also let go of his complaints and said solemnly.

"With the cooperation of the Lord Changjing of Shan County, the mobilization of skills is very fast.

It's just that the Anayama family and the Koyamada family are a little slow. ”

Takeda Harunobu raised his eyebrows and glanced at his sister, and said quietly.

"I'll talk to Nobukun Anayama and Nobushige Oyamada, and you can leave this matter alone."
