Chapter 454: Here's the Thing
When Naoe Jinggang came back to his senses and thought carefully about Sibo Yoshigin's proposal, he suddenly felt wonderful.
Tochio Castle is the gateway to Shangyue, stuck in the heart of Zhongyue.
The Yohoku people in the north, the Ueda Nagao family on the mountain side, the Okuma Asahide department on the coast, and the Hojo Takahiro who stuck the Joetsu reinforcements in the south.
If they want to join forces, they must pull out the nail of Tochio City, otherwise they will be in danger of being broken by each other.
Hojo Takahiro defended Hojo Castle to death, in order to jam the logistics of the Kamietsu reinforcements and force Uesugi Teruto's army to take Hojo Castle first.
And inside and outside Tochio Castle are the Sino-Vietnamese samurai, and their minds are floating, and they will definitely fall before Hojo Castle.
At that time, if Uesugi Teruhu wants to march again, he will be attacked by all parties, and the strength of the upper and lower Vietsu is only less than half of the mobilization force of the Sino-Vietnamese and Xiayue coalitions, and it is not easy to conquer.
However, if Spo Yoshiyin led the cavalry to Tochio Castle in a hurry, and made this castle the imperial seat of the Kanto region, where the Imperial Observatory was located, then things would have been different.
Kawachi Genji is in Echigo's residence, who dares to fight! Whether it is the Yang Beizhong or the old ministers, they all have numb claws.
These guys can pretend not to see Uesugi Terutora entering the Uesugi family in the mountains, but do they dare to disown the Ashikaga family's imperial flag and imperial sword?
Echigo has a famous and promising samurai, which is not the status of the imperial family.
It's okay to forget your ancestors in the dark, and fight against the Genji of Hanoi in public? Brains are broken!
Aren't you afraid that someone will use this as an excuse to bully the weak and seize the family business in the future?
Naoe Jinggang looked at Sibo Yiyin with admiration, this young man had the courage to enter Tochio City alone, it was indeed powerful.
Uesugi Terutora pondered for a long time and said.
"It works.
You can take your relatives and ride horses for two or three days to arrive at Tochio Castle, and I will join the Kakizaki Keijia and Usami Dingman's army.
As long as you can delay the Northern People, the Great Bear Ashide, and the Nagao Masaki for seven days, I will be able to take Hojo Castle and go to reinforce Tochio Castle. ”
Yiyin calculated in his heart, ten days, it is worth a try.
Once Tochio Castle falls, the Echigo rebellion will be difficult to contain. If he wanted to integrate Echigo as soon as possible, he had to venture east and defend Tochio Castle.
Yiyin made up his mind and said.
"You will transfer Tochio City to me, and give me full command of the Zhongyue Shangyi garrison, and I will stabilize the rebels and wait for your arrival."
Uesugi Terutora motioned to Naoe on the side to get the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and said.
"I'll give you a handwritten letter, and you can take me to see Honjo Minoru.
She is the lord of Tochio Castle, and my diehard loyalist will definitely support you fully. ”
Yiyin nodded and stood up.
"Without further ado, I'll leave right away."
Uesugi Terutora said softly.
"Thank you for your hard work, I will break Hojo Castle as soon as possible and go to Tochio Castle to support."
She turned her head and shouted.
"Naoe continues, you will go to Tochio City with the Duke of Qian Xin and guide the way, there must be no mistake!"
Naoe continued to sigh, and had already taken a pen and paper, a handwritten letter from Uesugi Huihu, dried and folded it and handed it to Yiyin.
The two lords acted resolutely, and Zhijiang Jinggang was dazzled, and the doubts in their hearts became bigger and bigger.
But Naoe was about to be sent to the Spo army, and she couldn't find anyone to solve her doubts, and she felt uncomfortable.
Spo Yoshiin and Uesugi Teruhu looked at each other and smiled, and they had a tacit understanding in the battle, and they felt good.
The two walked out, and Yiyin smiled.
"The Spogie Warriors will repair for half a day, and they will set off immediately."
Uesugi Terutora said softly.
"Humility and trustworthiness are cherished."
Yiyin glanced at her and clenched his fist.
"Don't worry, you have to be careful."
When he came to the cavalry repair center, Yoshiin explained the plan to Shima Katsutoshi, but she opposed it.
Shimakatsu bowed violently and pleaded guilty.
"Your Highness, I shouldn't have said much, but the Tongxin people haven't been properly repaired since they set out from Kyoto.
If you take a breath and pour it down, you will lose a momentum after a short rest, and it will be difficult to exert your strength after exhaustion, which is not conducive to combat. ”
Yiyin was stunned for a moment, looked at Uesugi Huihu beside him, and saw that she also nodded in approval.
The two lords really wanted to support the front as soon as possible while standing in the overall strategic situation, but they ignored the decline in the physical strength of the Ji samurai and the war horse.
Yiyin said sincerely.
"Thank you, Shimahime, it's nice to have you here."
Dao Shengmeng's heart warmed, and he bowed his head and replied.
"The lord praises falsely, and the island is victorious."
Come out to mix, the most important thing is to find a lord who fits his temperament, Shima Katsu is straightforward, he doesn't know how to speak tactfully, and he suffers a lot in the Tsutsui family for this.
Now follow Sibo Yiyin, listen to his words, follow the righteousness and reason, and do things really comfortably.
It's a pity that His Royal Highness is already a general's man, and his admiration is afraid to be hidden deep in his heart, and there will be no more revealing moments.
Shimakatsu's heart fluctuated, and Yoshiin had already turned back to renegotiate the matter with Uesugi Teruto.
"Sister Uesugi, Shimahime is right.
If you force the army, even if the Ji samurai can withstand it, the war horse will be at the limit, so it's okay to repair it overnight and set off tomorrow?
How far is Tochio Castle from here? How long will it take for our army to arrive? ”
Uesugi Terutora nodded.
"This is something I neglected and didn't take into account the physical strength of the Ji samurai.
The two horses dispatched troops quickly, and two days were enough to reach Tochio Castle. The rebels should wait for the northern people to arrive at Tochio Castle before besieging the city.
The personnel of Yangbei are complicated, and the march will not be too fast, and they will not be able to reach Tobi City within five days.
The cavalry should have no problem repairing overnight, or they will leave tomorrow morning? ”
Uesugi Terutora glanced at Naoe Keixuna behind her, and she quickly replied.
"I'll prepare a place where the Spo family warriors can rest.
The armament grain and grass are sorted out by the servants, and the army only needs to distribute it slightly, which is in line with personal habits. ”
She also hopes that the Spoo cavalry will set off tomorrow, and she has time to ask Naoe Kanesu, what the hell is going on?
The Naoe family is two generations of important ministers of the Uesugi family, and they can prosper for a long time, on the one hand, they rely on their own ability to excel, and on the other hand, they are also good at understanding the will of the lord, and they are deeply favored by the lord.
But now, the relationship between the Imperial Taisuo and her own lord can be seen in a fog, if she doesn't understand this matter, how can she sleep.
Naoe Jinggang said that if the two governors had no objections, the matter was decided.
Yiyin saw Kamiizumi Nobutsuna coming and said apologetically.
"Shangquan Sword Saint, this road is not smooth, but you will suffer with it.
Now that I've arrived in Echigo, what are my plans for the future? ”
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna smiled heartily and replied.
"I just happened to hear a few adults discuss, but Your Highness is going to Tozuo Castle? Why don't I go with you for another ride?
The war between China and Vietnam was chaotic, and the road to Ueno was bound to be blocked. I have nothing to do, so it's good to go to Tozuo Castle with His Highness to have a look. ”
Yiyin smiled.
This old sword saint is too good at being a man, and he deserves to be prosperous in the new yin stream.
Echigo Province went to Ueno Province, went to Chuetsu and entered Nishi-Ueno.
And Echigo guards the gateway to Ueno, Sakado Castle, and its lord Nagao Masaki has rebelled, and this road is definitely broken.
The war is chaotic, and the old sword saint will not set off for the time being for safety. In this case, it is better to go to Tochio City with Sibo Yiyin and protect him from safety.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna went into battle as a young man, and then traveled around the world to practice kendo, and his martial arts were strong. With her by her side, Yiyin's safety is one more guarantee.
Uesugi Terutora said gratefully.
"Sword Saint works hard, I promise you that in the future, the new Yin Stream will expand the way of the sword, and I will give my full support."
On this trip to Hokurikudo, although Kamiizumi Nobutsuna folded three capable disciples, he established a battle formation with the two governors of Spo Shangshan.
So far, there is no shortage of last tremors, just do things decently from beginning to end, and help them for another ride.
Yiyin also smiled at her.
"I will write back to Kyoto to explain to the general your intention to defend it, and the Spo family territory also welcomes the new Yin Stream to preach kendo."
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna was overjoyed, and death was worth it.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru's affection for Spo Yoshigin, the old sword saint can see it clearly in Kyoto, and with his praise, the new Yin Stream has a better impression in the general's heart.
Not to mention that the Sibo family, as the leader of the local powerful faction of the shogunate, spoke out to defend the new Yin Stream, which would attract all the local powerful factions to look at the new Yin Stream swordsman differently.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna bowed deeply and thanked him sincerely.
"Thank you, two highnesses."
Yiyin smiled and shook his head, indicating a small matter.
He had deep admiration for this sword master, and it was no wonder that the new Yin Stream was like a fish in water, thanks to her ability to be a man.
Ashikaga Yoshiki loves kendo, and there are three swordsman teachers in front and back.
One of them, Tsukahara Bu Chuan, the second is Kamizumi Nobutsuna, and the third is Yagyu Zongyan.
Tsukahara Bu is said to be from the Shinto stream, and he is new and innovative. Shangquan Xingang practiced Yin Flow, and created a new Yin Flow.
Both of them are masters of kendo, and it stands to reason that Tsukahara Buden should be more famous than Kamiizumi Nobutsuna.
Xindangliu pays attention to killing with one hit, makes good use of real knives, and is more loved by samurai.
On the other hand, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna advocated bamboo swords, and was known for practicing kendo without hurting people, which was not pleasant.
The difference between the two sides of the kendo is that Kamiizumi Nobutsuna is too good at playing.
She knew that Yagyu Zongyan was the great eye of the shogunate, but she took a fancy to his swordsmanship talent, taught him everything, and supported him as the next swordsman.
Ashikaga Yoshiki was happy to let his cronies take the throne, and the influence of the new Yin Stream naturally remained in the Imperial Palace.
This time, she tried her best to make friends with the two Spo shirts, and exchanged the battle array for the goodwill of the two families, and opened up the influence of the new Yin Stream in the near future.
Compared to her, Tsukahara Buchuan will not come.
Although high-ranking samurai such as Ashikaga Yoshiki and Hosokawa Fujitaka had a relationship with her, Yoshiyin had never heard of Hosokawa Fujitaka helping Shindang-ryu.
Not to mention the general's daily management, how can there be air control kendo gossip.
The two sword saints served as shogunate swordsmans before and after, but their inheritance and development were worlds apart, which made Yiyin sigh.
People, you still have to be able to do things.
