However, it is said that the defeat of the Miura army and the escape back to Higashi-Sagami gave Hojo Sakumo a chance, and he once again captured Higashi-Sagami Sumiyoshi Castle in the name of pursuing the Miura army, and in the next four years, he captured Misaki Castle and Cage Castle with the support of the Miura Navy Ogiya Uesugi clan, and finally the Higashi-Sagami Miura family perished, and Hojo Sakumo finally pacified the whole country of Sagami.

There is still a lot of history of the Hojo clan, Uesugi Wazi explained to Yang Rui more comprehensively, and the next Hojo clan's second-generation governor Hojo clan Tsunade and the third-generation family governor Hojo clan Kang are also capable people, still taking advantage of the contradictions of various forces in the Kanto zone, and gradually extending the Hojo clan's power to Musashi Province, Shimosokuni and other places.

Among them, the more well-known ones include the Guofutai joint battle that Yang Rui personally participated in, which is also a specific manifestation of the Hojo clan's extended strength in the lower general country, but because of Yang Rui's participation at the beginning, the results of the Guofutai joint battle have some deviations.

Although the Hojo clan was very cunning externally, the first three generations of the Hojo clan did their best to make a lot of efforts in internal affairs, and most of the territories they acquired were well governed.

Until this time, Yang Rui found Uesugi Wazi, and the Hojo clan had basically taken root in the Kanto region, a civilized region of the Japanese Kingdom.

Even if most of the surrounding forces have a hostile relationship with the Hojo clan, it is difficult to fundamentally shake the Hojo clan under the alliance, and there are still a few forces that are also in a state of friendship with the Hojo clan at the same time.

Whether it is from the current situation, or from a long-term perspective, or from the identity of Uesugi Wako as a half of the parties to Echigo Elementary School, Uesugi Wako's suggestion that Yang Rui take the Hojo clan as a target is actually reasonable, and this is actually in line with Yang Rui's interests.

At present, most of the Kanto forces are at odds with the Hojo clan, and in the historical facts, a large part of the scenes in the Kanto area of the Warring States of the Japanese Kingdom are on the Hojo clan, if Yang Rui can directly take down the Hojo clan. It will undoubtedly take the initiative in the next regional situation.

Taking a step back, Uesugi Wazi, as Uesugi Dingmi's parent, actually has a grand-grandchild relationship with Uesugi Fangno, even if Uesugi Dingshi is only the adopted son of Uesugi Fangno, Uesugi Wazi can't get rid of the relationship with the Ogiya Uesugi clan and the Yamauchi Uesugi clan!

As a member of the genuine Uesugi family, Uesugi Wako considered uniting the two Uesugi clans. It is also in his personal interest to target the Hojo clan. At the same time, the true identity of the above Shanzi baby may also be able to coordinate more of the two Uesugi clans for Yang Rui in the future.

After the second generation of the Hojo clan succeeded to the family governor, the surrounding forces were more obvious against the Hojo clan out of various considerations, including the Suruga Imagawa clan, which had been on the same front as the Hojo clan, and the Kai Kuni Takeda clan.

Especially after the Hojo clan took over Musashi Province Edo Castle from the Ogiya Uesugi clan, the two Uesugi clans and the Hojo clan are currently in tension, uniting with the Furukawa clan Ashikaga Haruhi clan to recapture Edo Castle from the Hojo clan.

It can be said that this is the right time for Yang Rui to intervene and come in. Even if Yang Rui doesn't make a move, in less than a year, the more well-known Heyue War of the Warring States of the Japanese State should break out.

Yang Rui used Sky Castle to carefully investigate the situation of Sagami Province's Odawara Castle, and sure enough, he saw that the defenses in the city were relatively empty, which secretly confirmed Uesugi Wako's statement that the Hojo clan was in Edo Castle and pulled a large number of troops to Edo Castle.

After leaving Odawara Castle, Yang Rui then turned in the direction of Izu Province, and spent most of the day exploring the situation of Nirayama Castle and Horikoshi Imperial Palace, and found that the situation here was also very empty.

After that, Yang Rui turned back and went to Echigo Province again. On the way, I carefully investigated the situation of Edo Castle, including Okazaki Castle, Koki Castle, Kasai Castle, and Kokufu Taijo Castle.

From Izu Province to Shimo-Sokuni. Nirayama Castle, Horikoshi Imperial Palace, Odawara Castle, Edo Castle, and Kokufu Taijo Castle are all important places of the Hojo clan, and they are also the targets that Yang Rui also focuses on this time.

Yang Rui returned to Echigo Province Kasuga Mountain City Linquan Temple to see Uesugi Wazi again, it was a full three game days later, Yang Rui and Wazi agreed on three days to arrange Echigo's domestic affairs, and then Uesugi Wazi and Yang Rui will work together against the Hojo clan.

Of course, this kind of shot is only limited to Uesugi Wazi personally, and at the same time, the true identity cannot be revealed.

After all, Uesugi Wako had not been able to control Echigo Province at this time. At the same time, the relationship between the Nagao clan and the Uesugi clan has some special characteristics, and the baby is still the identity of Nagao Jinghu at this time, so it is natural to pay attention to these.

"Your Excellency, can you make a decision? Is it going to directly eliminate the Hojo clan's hidden trouble, or is it trying to subdue it as a shadow? In any case, Lord Gong needs to make a decision before we pass through Hirai Castle in Ueno Kuni, Uesugi of the Yamauchi clan. I will try to convince the Uesugi clan of Yamauchi to cooperate with the action.

Chiyo thought that the Hojo clan had always been treacherous and ruthless, and perhaps had a certain connection with the shogunate, and if the lord planned to subdue the Hojo clan for his own use, he should mainly use his name and not give too much military power......"

Uesugi asked, and by the way, she shared her own opinions.

"If the Hojo clan is directly eradicated, I wonder how sure Chiyo will be able to unify the Ogiya Uesugi clan and the Yamauchi Uesugi clan?"

From the beginning, although Yang Rui and Uesugi Wazi decided to start with the big fish of the Hojo clan, they did not finalize how to deal with the Hojo clan, and with Yang Rui's understanding of the Hojo clan, Yang Rui actually slowly realized the problems mentioned by the Uesugi Wazi.

"If the Yamauchi Uesugi clan is concerned, there shouldn't be any problems, but the Ogiya Uesugi clan needs to be slowly integrated, at least after solving the internal problems of Echigo Province first......"

Regarding Uesugi Wazi's answer, Yang Rui nodded in understanding, and from the baby's tone, Yang Rui also sensed that at this time, the nominal guardian of Echigo Province, Uesugi Dingshi, was probably not just as simple as Uesugi House being able to raise a son.

While Yang Rui discussed, they both entered the Sky City, and soon left the Hasuga Mountain City Linquan Temple, heading towards Sagami and Izu countries.

After some discussion between the two in the Sky City, Yang Rui made a stop near Ueno Country Pingjing Castle, and Uesugi Wazi entered the city to communicate with the Uesugi clan in Yamauchi.

After that, the two set off again, heading straight for Sagami and Izu, and spent half a day rushing directly to the vicinity.

After a little preparation, Yang Rui and Uesugi Wazi together released more than 160,000 new 5th-order soldiers in the Sky City in the hidden place near the Horikoshi Imperial Palace. (To be continued.) )
