After a night of wild running, Yiyin and his party headed west, and crossed the Baiyan River again at dawn.

A few days ago, he got out of the Shenbao chief job to intercept and came over happily. At this time, the army was defeated and fled back to the West Bank in disarray.

The taste of it made the morale of the cavalry plummet.

As a result of sparing no horsepower, the group could not support it before they arrived at Toyama Castle.

Just now when I crossed the Joganji River, several horses foamed at the mouth and died, and the cavalry had to stop.

Uesugi Terutora said.

"I can't go anymore, I fought a fierce battle yesterday, and I galloped dozens of miles overnight, and neither the war horse nor the Ji warrior could bear it.

If you go any further, I am afraid that the whole army will lose its strength, and it will really become slaughtered by others. ”

The attitude of the Jimbo family is unknown, this is still an enemy territory, and Uesugi Terutora has to consider the possibility of harassment by the local samurai.

Yiyin nodded.

"It's not far from Toyama Castle here, the brigade is looking for a place to repair, and a few horses are gathered in good condition for me to transfer, and I'll go to Toyama Castle to negotiate with the chief of the gods."

Yamanaka Yugrand was shocked and intervened into the conversation between the two family governors.

"No! Your status is noble, you can't take risks alone, I'll go with you. ”

Uesugi didn't care about her interjection, but agreed.

"Indeed, it's really reassuring that you go alone, so let's bring a few Ji warriors with you."

Yiyin shook his head and said.

"We just beat the head of the god to the ground, at this time, the more people the worse the bad thing, in case it arouses her hatred, I'm afraid the consequences are unpredictable.

I went to see her alone.

I am a man, an envoy of the shogunate, the governor of the Spo family, and I hold the imperial flag, representing the Ashikaga shogun's cronies.

The multiple identities are enough to make the gods scruple before they can talk about it.

We are in a weak position, so we should not stimulate her anymore, and it is better for me to go alone. ”

Uesugi Terutoka's face was ugly.

She would rather die on the battlefield than use a man to protect her life, and this trip back to Echigo really hurt her self-esteem.

Yiyin can see better than her, does he have to make fewer compromises in order to survive?

To be alive is to have hope.

He said flatly.

"Don't say much! Listen to me! Yamanakahime, give me the imperial flag. ”

Yamanaka Yumori hesitated, took out the Ashikaga white flag behind him, but pinched it in his hand and hesitated.

Yiyin was furious.

"What! You don't listen to my commands! ”

Yamanaka Yumori bowed his head, presented the imperial flag with both hands, and choked up.

"Your Highness, be careful, if you... I'm at odds with the Divine Protectors! ”

Yiyin snorted.

"What a mess, my life is not so easy to lose."

Just about to leave, Uesugi Teruhu grabbed him, and Yoshiin looked back at her, and the two met their eyes.

"Qianxingong, you must come back alive.

If something happens to you, I swear, I'll kill all the Shiina Jimbo families! ”

Yiyin said angrily.

"You're not going to say something nice, it's unlucky."

Uesugi Terutora smiled, his eyes with tenderness.

"As long as we go back alive together, I'm willing to share Echigo with you."

Spo raised his eyebrows.

"Is that true?"

Uesugi Terutora swears by the sky.

"If there is half a lie, the family business will dissipate, the family name will fall, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"

Yiyin glanced at her helplessly, she was really a willful rich second generation.

Uesugi Teruhu laughed, she wasn't stupid.

Not only do you want to share Echigo with you, but you also have to conquer the Kanto Plain and share Kanto with you.

Sibo Yiyin, if one day, I am fortunate enough to become a member of the world, you will be my imperial platform.

Yiyin didn't know what she was thinking, so he set up the imperial flag and tidied up his clothes.

Yamanaka Yukimori brought a war horse in good condition for him to ride.

Yiyin was alone and two horses, kowtowed slightly to Uesugi Huihu, turned around and rushed to the direction of Toyama Castle.

———

Located on the east bank of the Kamitsu River, Toyama Castle is built on the water and resembles a castle on the water.

In the castle tower, the face of the chief of the god is gloomy, and the priest of Terashima pleads guilty to the ground.

Spring ploughing is nearing the end, and Terashima knows that the previous battle against Nagao Jinghu (Uesugi Teruto) was ugly, and he came to ask for guilt.

Shen Bao Changzhi was annoyed with her, but the board in his hand was raised high and gently put down.

As long as she still has the heart to attack the Shiina family, the new collar faction led by Terashima is the most powerful supporter of the family.

The guardian system is good and bad, and the emphasis is on taking blood as a link and arranging the fruits.

Although the perfect system allows the strong to get most of the benefits, it also guarantees the most basic right to survival of the weak.

There is no perfect system in the world, and the most basic principle is to protect the weak from the bottomless oppression.

In other words, the rules need to have clauses to protect the weak, otherwise everyone would rather return to the law of the jungle of the jungle, why bother to follow the rules.

The protection system ensures the basic rights of the weak, and it also leads to the lack of enterprising spirit of the samurai under the guardian daimyo, which is far less greedy than Oda Nobunaga's Warring States daimyo.

The traditional samurai in Kojima only wanted to live on their own one-third of an acre, and they were disgusted with increasing military service and lacked much ambition for foreign conquests.

If the Jimbo Nagashi wants to continue to conquer the Shiina, he must favor the new factions of the Terashima Job.

They are the ones who have benefited from the conquest of Shinkawa County, and they are willing to follow the lord and continue the war.

Therefore, the position of the chief of the divine protection cannot be too harsh, so as not to dampen the enthusiasm of these martial artists.

While the two were still talking, someone from outside reported that a young man holding a Ashikaga white flag, called the shogunate envoy, asked to see him outside.

The chief of the divine protection was surprised, and the shadow of the handsome young man a few days ago appeared in his mind.

No way? How did he get back?

She glanced at Terashima Joba beside her, and when she saw that she was just as confused, she ordered.

"Let him come to the castle tower to see me."

After a while, Yiyin came with a flag, although he had sorted out his clothes, his expression could not hide the embarrassment, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw the chief of the gods.

Yiyin's expression was indifferent, as if he was not affected, and asked.

"Why is His Highness Jimpo laughing?"

The chief of the divine protection laughed for a while, and then he gasped and smiled.

"I laughed at that Shiina Kangyin, although he is a strong and inward-looking person, he still can't bear it anymore after all."

Yiyin smiled bitterly in his heart, this Divine Protector is really not a foolish character, and from the details of his entry, he has judged most of the truth.

But he couldn't afford to be left behind at this time, and kept calm.

"Judging by your reaction, this is not surprising?"

The chief of the Divine Protection snorted.

"I knew there would be this day."

She snapped her fingers, one, two, three.

"Nagao Jinghu sent troops after the war, and before the battle, he took away several branch cities of the Shiina family, thinking that he would set up points for logistics supplies.

Fight me, drive me back to the west of the Shiraiwa River, and take the territory I have worked so hard to build and divide it among myself.

Because it was close to winter last year, it was too late to actually claim these territories, so I had to let Yasuyin Shiina temporarily manage it.

also forced Nagawei Jingzhi to be her adopted daughter, thinking that it would be monitored to prevent her from repenting.

The long-tailed Jinghu is so unsightly, greedy and presumptuous, who can bear her?

The safe territory was divided into branch cities, and the territory I took was returned to the Nagao family, and the Shiina family was also considered a famous family in the middle of the country, but it was stuffed with an adopted daughter, endangering the inheritance.

Even if Yasuyin Shiina is a coward, she can't bear it, right? ”

Yiyin shook his head with a wry smile, he couldn't pretend anymore.

Uesugi Teruto, that guy doesn't understand people's hearts, and he does things willfully. This catastrophe is really self-inflicted.

But at this point, it was too late to regret it, and Yiyin had to convince the Divine Protector to help, he said.

"Even so, under your threat, Shiina Yasuin must endure it.

Guess who, gave her the confidence? ”

Regarding this, the chief of the divine protection was also a little puzzled, but when he saw Yiyin take the initiative to mention it, his heart moved, and his pupils contracted.

"Ichijozong?"

Yiyin couldn't help but applaud.

"His Royal Highness Shenbao is indeed extraordinary, and you can guess it at a glance."

The priest pondered and recited.

"Wish to call the temple, the polar temple, the golden city area, the Daitoku temple.

The Zong has really left endless damages, and it has only been a few years of hard work, and the territory of the Shiina family is also full of holes. ”

Yiyin saw that she was worried, and hit the railroad while it was hot.

"Since His Highness Jimbo understands the dangers of the Sect, why doesn't he join forces with His Highness Uesugi?

Shiina Yasuyin has fallen into the company of the Echichu Ichizo Sect, and your territory is surrounded by the Echichu Ichijo Sect and is in need of foreign support.

The country of Echigo is not weak, and His Royal Highness Uesugi is brave and good at fighting, so he is your most suitable ally. ”

The Divine Protector sneered and said.

"She? Ally? Let her fight against the Yizong in my territory, take my branch city, destroy my territory, and stuff an adopted daughter for me? ”

Yiyin's face froze, and he was powerless to refute.

Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back. Uesugi Terutora is in danger today, and he really asked for it.

There's something wrong with this guy's personality!
