Shiina Yasuin licked his dry lips, feeling a little bitter, and asked.

"The long-tailed Jinghu's side is fierce, and the god can't stop her, what should we do?"

Tsunemitsu Koma sneered.

"I've sent someone to greet her, provide supplies for Nagao Jinghu, and invite her to Matsukura Castle for a reunion.

The two families are allies, and Matsukura Castle is on her way back, so she must be willing to come and meet with the family governor to deepen the relationship.

Matsukura Castle is full of samurai and nuns who hate her, and when she enters the castle tower to see you, she will naturally not bring a flag to the samurai.

As long as there are dozens of elites in ambush, no matter how powerful she is, can she still be a hundred? ”

Yasuyin Shiina sweated on his forehead.

Coax her allies into the city, strip off her flag and wait for an opportunity to kill, and after this incident, her reputation in the samurai family will be insignificant.

From then on, I can only follow Yuezhong and Xiangzong all the way to the black, and there is no room for repentance.

———

After breaking through the Masekou, Yiyin and his party traveled dozens of miles, counting the number of people after getting out of danger.

In the battle, there was no one in the Uesugi people, and seven of the two Ji samurai under the command of the two families were slightly injured, and the casualties were unbelievably low.

As a result, the morale of the cavalry was greatly boosted.

Uesugi Terutora laughed, pointing behind him and scolding.

"Divine Protector! You villain will only take advantage of others! When I return to Echigo, I will reorganize my armament, and then enter Viethorne, I will definitely want you to protect your home and look good! ”

Yiyin glanced at her and shook his head secretly in his heart.

When he returned to Echigo, of course, he hurriedly integrated the domestic samurai and formed a joint force to deal with the Takeda family in the Shinano direction and the Hojo family in the Kanto Plain.

In this chaotic land in Yuezhong, the Yizong family, the Shenbao family, and the Shiina family are all about to be mixed into a pot of multigrain porridge, and when you step into it, you are afraid that you will not be able to pull it out.

In the case of the unrest in the Kwantung region, it is necessary to avoid military investment on the Vietnamese-Chinese side and solve the problem in a political rather than military way.

In other words, don't make any more enemies, ahhh

Yiyin secretly decided that when he arrived in Echigo, he would see Uesugi Teruto, and he couldn't let her temperament come to him.

It's a big deal to say a few more words about Sister Uesugi and sell more cuteness.

This person is not stupid, he knows right and wrong, he is easy to get started, and he needs to pour cold water on her from time to time, and he can't sweep her face.

Yiyin suddenly felt so tired, why did the system find such a tsundere who can fight and win battles?

I don't want to lose face, I pretend to be cute and cute all day long, and I overcome rigidity with softness.

Specially...

He ignored the maniacally laughing Uesugi Teruto, and said softly to Nobutsuna Umiizumi.

"Shangquan Sword Saint, have you and a few disciples been injured?"

Kamiizumi Nobutsuna smiled, bowed slightly on the horse, thanked him, and replied.

"Thank you for your concern, and the four of us are unharmed.

Being able to witness the demeanor of Humility and Honesty, Kamizumi Nobutsuna has no regrets in this life.

The eyebrows do not let the women, take the lead in the charge and be unstoppable, admire! Admire! ”

She was genuinely happy.

For Xin Yinliu, this battle is a surrender to the eyelids of the two upper shirts, and she is mentally prepared to die in battle.

Who knew that Si Po Yiyin was so powerful, he would kill it by cutting melons and chopping vegetables.

Nobutsuna Ueizumi is an old samurai from Ueno, and he has a wealth of experience in traveling around the world, and such a powerful figure is only seen in his life.

It's no wonder that in the recent battles, the Miyoshi samurai was killed to ashes, and they were all afraid of this man in white feather weaving.

Uesugi Terutora laughed enough, and followed along to make fun.

"When I was in Kyoto, I heard that there were thousands of troops avoiding White Feathers, and I was a little unimpressed at the time.

Now it seems that it is indeed wrong, it should be a thousand white feathers, haha. ”

Yoshiin pouted helplessly, Uesugi Terutora always liked to say things that he thought he was flattering.

But the compliment in this straight woman's mouth always has a strange feeling, and it doesn't sound very comfortable.

Fortunately, Yiyin is not a delicate man in this world, he is too lazy to be sentimental, and asks her what your father and I fell into the river and who you save first.

He shifted the subject and got down to business.

"Sister Uesugi, we haven't gotten out of trouble yet, so it's important to quickly sort out our armaments, count our rations, and quickly leave the territory of the Jimbo family."

Uesugi Terutora nodded, turned back to Naoe Kane, and Yoshiin also ordered an inventory to Yamanaka Yukimori.

When the battle is chaotic, it is normal to lose weapons and bags, and the most important thing is to see how much capital is left.

After the two are sorted out, the situation is not optimistic.

Nearly half of the spears and knives were damaged, and the people's rations and the horse's beans were only the size of a meal.

With the loyalty of the side to the flag, it is not a big problem to be hungry for one or two meals, but the war horse is not.

The endurance of horses is actually not as good as that of humans, and the energy obtained from normal grazing is not enough for horses to gallop for a day, and it takes five or six hours to eat pasture for an hour.

A man can walk 80 miles a day, but a horse can carry a man no more than 50 miles. If you want to run long distances, you have to take turns riding two horses and three horses.

It is necessary to prepare beans and other grains to feed the horses, so as to have enough energy to maintain the physical strength of the war horses.

After running a long distance, pay attention to sweating and keeping the horse warm, so as not to get sick from the horse.

Even if all these tasks are done, it will also reduce the service life of the warhorse.

The more ruthless it is, the more it hurts the roots, and the sooner it becomes a donkey, which can only be used for carrying animals or plowing the fields.

Therefore, cavalry must not only be brave and good at fighting, but also be able to take care of horses.

The most important thing is to be able to afford it and raise it.

This is a huge expense, ten times more than the infantry, and the war horse is a consumable, which is difficult to sustain for more than three years, and the poor cannot play at all.

Yiyin frowned.

The loss is greater than expected, but fortunately, the Ji samurai lost one person, which is generally acceptable, and the problem now is supply.

Uesugi Terutora saw that he was embarrassed and suggested.

"Or do you want to collect some grain and grass from a nearby village?"

Yiyin glanced at her and shook her head.

"Rations and horse feed can be solved, but what about weapons and bows?

Staying nearby and wasting time, what if the god protector doesn't die and catches up?

It's better to hurry as soon as possible and make up for it when you get to the territory of the Shiina family. ”

Yiyin is very rejecting the samurai's style of taking food on the spot.

In the eyes of the samurai, the villagers at the bottom are pigs and dogs, captive livestock. If necessary, it can be slaughtered and eaten at any time, let alone in enemy territory.

If Uesugi Teruhu led the team into the village, the village could only choose to give food under the sword, and the slightest resistance would be to kill people and take food.

At this time, it is the time of spring ploughing, and it is chilling to think about what kind of bestiality the brigade will do in the enemy's village.

The battle array devours human nature, and it is inevitable that the depressed Ji samurai will vent on the villagers, and it is a trivial matter to do forced things to the village husband and man.

In the event of trampling on the spring seedlings and setting fire to the village, the villagers who have lost their food and shelter will starve to death before the autumn.

Yiyin can't stop this from happening, this is the norm in samurai society. All he could do was try to avoid doing it himself, out of sight.

The plan he proposed was not bad, and Uesugi Terutora did not object.

He said.

"We've crossed the Mase Mouth, headed northeast, and crossed the Shiraiwa River, which is the boundary of the Jimbo family.

The Hakuiwagawa River is gentle, and there are so many places where you can cross the river that the gods can't keep it.

What's more, the army of the Divine Protector is behind us, and there should not be enough troops in front to stop us.

As long as you spare no effort and go all out, you can cross the river before evening.

I have an alliance with Yasuyin Shiina, and this time there is also an agreement for the return transit of Kamiraku, as long as I cross the Shiraiwa River, there will be no problem with safety after that. ”

Yiyin nodded in approval.

So, after a little trimming, the group continued on the road and went straight to the Baiyan River.

After that, the journey went smoothly, and before it was completely dark after crossing the Shiraiwa River, there was a Uesugi family shop in the nearby castle town, and the team actually had a hot meal.

Before he could relax, the Shiina family envoy came to ask for a meeting.

When the others left, Uesugi Terutora looked at the letter and raised his eyebrows and was silent.

Yiyin asked.

"Shiina has something to do with you?"

"It's not a big deal.

It was Shiina Yasuyin who sent people to wait for me in the border cities, hoping that I would go to Matsukura Castle once to discuss the matter of defending against the invasion of the Jimbo family after spring ploughing. ”

Yiyin nodded.

Uesugi Terutora crossed the border, ceremoniously met with allies, and finalized the strategic coordination between the two sides, which is a reason.

He admonished.

"Sister Kami, when you meet with Yasuyin Shiina, you should still think about it, give up your territory in Shinkawa County, and show her goodwill.

When we arrive in Echigo, we will also have to rectify the country and integrate our forces to deal with the two Takeda Hojo families, and the affairs of Vietnam-China should not go too deep.

If you can reach a tacit understanding with Shiina Yasuyin, use the Shiina family as a barrier, and support her family a little to stop the Jimbo family and the Echichu Sect, it will be beneficial to both parties. ”

Uesugi Teruhu frowned and said.

"Then the matter of the Divine Protector leading the troops to prevent me from returning to China, that's it?"

Yiyin sighed and continued to persuade.

"Sister Uesugi, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.

Echigo has to deal with the two directions of Shinano and the Kanto Plain, and it is really inappropriate to start a war in Vietnam, and the wise man will not take it. ”

I handed you the ladder, and I sold it too.

Say, do you want to give face?
