Chapter 397: Asking for help

After the two reconciled, they put their minds on the current matter.

Yiyin asked.

"What is the strength of the Hida Country Jiang Ma family?"

Uesugi shook his head.

"Six thousand stones."

Yiyin was disappointed in his heart, this bit of strength was useless, and said.

"Can we go north to the Noto Peninsula and go to Nanao Castle to ask for the help of the Noto Hatakeyama family.

I have a handwritten letter from Takamasa Hatakeyama, can I borrow a boat by sea to go to Kasuga Mountain Castle? ”

Uesugi still shook his head.

"To go to Nanao Castle, you have to pass through Echichu Shesui County, which is also the territory of the Jimbo family, and it will also be investigated.

Even if it is forced through, it is not easy to cross the Baoda Hills between the two countries, and there are only a few roads.

The Divine Protector only needs to seal the pass to force us back. ”

Yiyin said again.

"Then turn around, go back to Echizen, and go to the port of Tsuruga County.

Now that spring has begun, the port should melt ice, and you can go to sea to the spring mountain town. ”

Uesugi Terutora rejected Yoshiyin's proposal twice, and it was no longer good to veto it, so he looked at Naoe Kane.

She smiled bitterly and explained for the Lord.

"There is no time, we rush to return to China in the spring, and we are also afraid of changes in the country.

Unbeknownst to him, the Echigo Mountains kept the entire Echigo outland.

In winter, the sea breeze is so cold that it cannot blow across the Echigo Mountains, and the entire Echigo Plain is closed by heavy snow, and communication is impossible in various places.

His Royal Highness took advantage of this opportunity to go to Luojing to seek support.

At the beginning of spring, the snow melted, and the domestic martial artists found that His Royal Highness was not there, and something big was going to happen.

What's more, where did the Divine Protector get the news of His Royal Highness Shangluo? It's really strange, I'm afraid that someone in China has also been manipulated.

We had to rush back as soon as possible, and there was no time to turn back and wait for the ship to go out to sea. ”

Yiyin was silent.

Naoe is right, the source of the Jimpo chief is weird, and it is estimated that Echigo will not be let go.

No matter who is behind the trouble, Uesugi Terutora has no choice and must return to China immediately.

The Echigo samurai didn't know that she had changed from Nagao Keitora to Uesugi Teruto, with the endorsement of the general, and she had obtained the position of Kanto governor, and she had all the titles.

But even if you know, it will take a lot of time to suppress dissidents and buy transactions, so that the entire Echigo can be completely reconciled.

At this point in time, she had no choice but to bury her head and rush back, and there was no other way.

Yiyin gritted his teeth and said.

"Your Highness, I know that you are like an arrow, but the situation is unknown.

Can you let me do some arrangement, and... I'll kill you back to Echigo! ”

Uesugi Huihu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said softly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yiyin nodded and ordered.

"Gamo Township, hurry back to Echizen and go to Tsuruga Castle to see the prince of Zongdi.

I asked her to send a letter to Kyoto urgently, informing Akechi Mitsuhide of the situation here, and asking her to find a way to support me.

Tell Zong Digong and ask her to help, I, Si Bo Yiyin, owe her a favor. ”

The Gamo clan sighed and prepared to go.

She was still young, and Yiyin couldn't bear her to participate in this adventure, and sent her back to let her live, and the battle was dangerous, and she was too young.

When he came, in order to save horsepower, he traveled only thirty or fifty miles a day.

From Tsuruga Castle to the Vietnam-China border for more than 250 miles, it is possible to run with all its might, two days as fast as possible, and three days as slow as three days, and Gamo Township can reach Tsuruga County.

Kaga has not yet completed the feudal country, as long as he brings enough rations and beans, people eat and chew, and the road is not a problem.

Poor this war horse, it must be running to death.

Tsuruga Castle goes to Kyoto, goes down Omi and takes the Lake Biwa waterway, and the clipper boat arrives in the morning, hoping that Akechi Mitsuhide will react quickly.

Yiyin didn't expect the backup to be used in this breakthrough, but he had some foreboding.

Uesugi Huihu is very arrogant, and he does things his own way, I am afraid that he will cause a lot of hidden dangers.

Now that she is blocked abroad, will these secret hatreds erupt? He needs a little more chips to deal with it.

As for the favor given to Zong Digong, she just wanted Yiyin to owe her so that she could take care of her daughter, and Yiyin gave enough affection this time.

Asakura Jingji took Yiyin and his entourage to Yicheng Valley City to see Asakura Governor Yijing, and he couldn't even enter the door.

Asakura Zongdi is not dead yet, Asakura Yoshikyo treats her adopted daughter like this, and when she dies, God knows what the situation will be.

Her mind must have changed, which is also the confidence of Yiyin to dare to ask her for help.

Since Yiyin's debut, he has been spitting on a nail in one mouthful, doing what he says, and having an excellent reputation, just to be able to use it at this time!

As long as Asakura Sect can instigate Echizen to target the Ichijo Sect, Kaga Echichu Ichijo Sect's attention will be all directed to Echizen.

Yiyin and his party have a lot of room for maneuver in Yuezhong, and they have always been crazy, and they will hesitate to offend people on both sides.

After the east and before the west, the two families have to choose one to face first, right? It's all offended, and it's not appropriate.

In this way, Yiyin and his party can bargain, and only pay attention to the enemy of the long-term position.

He looked at Uesugi Terutora and said.

"Your Highness, is there a warrior under your command who is familiar with the terrain here?

I wrote a letter by hand, along with a letter from Takamasa Hatakeyama, and took it to Noto Nanao Castle to ask for help from the Noto Hatakeyama family.

I don't ask her family to send troops to help, just ask for a speedboat to report to the spring mountain town as soon as possible.

If you act alone, the target is smaller, and as long as you are careful, you should be able to reach it safely. ”

Uesugi Terutora nodded and shouted.

"Maori Little Wu Niang!"

"Hey!"

A Ji samurai responded, and she continued.

"You take the letter to Seven Tails City, be careful on the way, don't make mistakes."

"Hey!"

Uesugi Terutora smiled at Yoshiin and said.

"As long as we can inform Kasuga Mountain Castle as soon as possible, we can calculate the time to break through Yuezhong, and we will be able to have a military response."

Yiyin was not optimistic and said.

"When the Echigo army arrives, it will have to pass through the Shinkawa Prefecture of the Shiina family, and even if the two sides are allies, it will take time to communicate.

I'm afraid it's too late, I just want to keep a little more backhand, and I may not be able to use it. ”

Uesugi Terutora was full of confidence and replied.

"Rest assured, as long as the letter is successfully delivered to Kasuga Mountain Castle, the standing army under the castle will definitely be able to catch up and answer us.

Last year, in order to take away the chief of the god who invaded Shinkawa County for Shiina Yasuyin, I sent troops to take over the walled cities along the way, just to send troops quickly. ”

Uesugi Teruhu triumphantly offered the treasure, but Yiyin had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He asked.

"Borrowing a city?"

"Of course, it belongs to me, and the logistics are still in charge of my own peace of mind."

"What about the gains?"

"Of course, it's a reward for the retainers of Echigo, but I send troops and food, there must be some benefits, otherwise who will do things with me."

Yiyin covered his forehead and finally confirmed.

"What do you mean is that the Jimbo family has fought the Kamitsugawa River and occupied part of the Shinkawa-gun territory of the Shiina family.

And then you fought and took back these territories, along with the walled cities along the way, and became your trophies? ”

"Nope."

Yiyin was a little relieved, and said with his big innocent eyes blinked.

"The castle built by the Jimbo Chief, Toyama Castle was too difficult to fight, and it was not defeated.

I thought about it after the winter. ”

Yiyin interrupted her, incredulous.

"I'm not asking this, I mean you didn't give Yasuin Shiina a little territory?

How did you make the covenant? Believe in any? ”

Uesugi Terutora looked at the angry Spo Yoshiyin and said strangely.

"I'm afraid that she will betray the alliance and betray the contract, so I sent a group of people to go to the Shiina family to be an adopted daughter, thinking that it should be done."

Yiyin almost fainted.

He still doesn't know what the military strategy of the shirt Huihu is, but the political means are completely unqualified.

He hated.

"You can do it.

Swallowed the territory of Yasuyin Shiina, stuffed the inheritance of her adopted daughter to spy on her family, and expected her to have a strong covenant with you?

Didn't you think she would betray? ”

Uesugi Terutora frowned and said.

"The chief position of the god is much stronger than Shiina Yasuyin, and the Shiina family also has the internal trouble of expanding the faith of the sect.

She probably wouldn't, right?

Without the help of my family, she couldn't control Xinchuan County at all. ”

Yiyin said angrily.

"Even if you join forces with Yixiangzong, it's better than being eaten alive by you, at least the family business won't send you to be a public!"

"I didn't mean to peep into her family business, and I was just afraid that she would break the contract by sending my adopted daughter to be monitored."

"How do you trust her? No profit is given to her at all, and all the benefits are taken by herself.

How to make her believe in you! ”

Uesugi Terutora felt bad at this time and asked.

"Yasuyin Shiina will really betray the alliance?"

Yiyin replied weakly.

"I don't know, but you'd better be wary of her.

It's hard to know if the Echigo reinforcements will be able to come over smoothly. ”

The two glanced at each other, both frowning, only to feel that the future was even more obscure.
