Chapter Thirty-Six: A Lobbyist from Kanto

A young samurai, you must know that there is no one who is not a strong person who has the ability to sit here, and at such an age, Hojo Sakumo has not seen anything in the intelligence, which is obviously a bit unexpected to him. Well, how do you say it? No resourceful person would like this situation that is not under their control.

"Ahem!" Date Masamune suddenly coughed dryly, and suddenly woke up the suppressed Mutsu daimyos, and immediately made them sit down in shame. Tsk, the gap, so shocked to see a Hojo Sakumo? God knows what will happen to these guys if they see Prince Shotoku.

Looking at these people helplessly, Date Masamune was extremely depressed in his heart, and the gap between him and the Kanto side was too big. But at this moment, Date Masamune suddenly saw Hojo Sakumo's eyes, followed it, and immediately chuckled.

"Hojo-sama, this is Tozawa Morian, the governor of the Tozawa family, but he is a fierce general who is brave and good at fighting!" Date Masamune said with a chuckle, as if he felt that Tozawa Shengyasu's performance had really saved a little face.

"Hehe~ I see, it seems that the Mutsu area is really handsome!" Hojo Sakumo said something that didn't hurt. This can't be considered ironic, because many famous players of Mutsu played when they were young, such as Tsugaru Nobu, such as Anton Aiji, such as Nanbu Harumasa, they are all famous at a young age, but I don't know why, the older they get, the more fucked they are.

"Hehe, I don't know what the important thing is that Hojo-sama is coming on behalf of the Kanto Alliance this time?" Date Masamune doesn't seem to want to say too much about talent. There is no way, in terms of talent alone, Mutsu's disadvantages are too obvious.

In general, it is because most of the prosperous areas of Japan are really two places, and Kanto, and the western country is close to. In addition, the daimyo of the Western Dynasty were very keen to introduce culture, so that the cultural level of the Western Kingdom also developed rapidly, as for Kyushu, the trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty at that time was basically from here, so it was naturally not bad. There are only Shikoku and Mutsu, these two grandmothers don't love the lord that their uncles don't love. Together in front of the difficult brothers.

"Hmm...... Here's the thing......" Hojo Sakumo's face immediately became serious when he heard Date Masamune's words, and then began to talk about the purpose of this visit, as well as the existence of the Yachi Orochi.

"What?! All of this is the ghost of the Eight Miscellaneous Snake?! And now the Yaki Army has occupied Shinano, Tokaido, and Echigo?! Date Masamune was shocked, even if he held back the two generations of Toyotomi and Tokugawa, he couldn't help but the news that Hojo Sakumo brought him. Because it's unbelievable.

And the others have long been stupid, originally they were only in alliance to protect themselves for various reasons, but now it seems. It was a wise decision. Especially the Ashina family and the Mogami family, they are really glad that they have been honestly developing internal affairs instead of running to Echigo, otherwise if they anger the Yachi Orochi...... The consequences they could not have imagined at all.

"Yes, in fact, the Kwantung Alliance has been at war with the Yaki Army now, but I don't know why, the Yachi Orochi didn't really take the initiative to attack the Kanto region, so it's just a small fight. But since the Eight Snakes have summoned us, it is obviously impossible that they just want to watch us act. It must be plotting something! Hojo Sakumo's words made Date Masamune nod his head again and again, obviously he agreed with Hojo Sakumo's statement.

"It's just because the Yachigo Orochi has completely severed our ties with. So we don't know exactly what's going on the other side at all, but if we take the worst-case scenario, then the reason why the Yagi Army completely ignored the Kanto region was just to capture the area west of first. "Hojo Sakumo's words seem to make sense, but how can you listen to them so arrogantly?

"Humph! Could it be that the Yaki Army ignored the Kwantung region and went to fight because it couldn't defeat the Kwantung coalition army? And why don't you ignore us Mutsu? Is it because they look down on us at all?! Date Masamune thought unhappily. In other words, if it was Date Masamune back then, I'm afraid I'm going to jump up in anger now. Let's cut off Hojo Sakumo's head with a knife. Well, let's not mention whether this kid can beat Hojo Sakumo. However, Date Masamune is very tolerant of today, so on the surface, he doesn't have any strange expressions.

"What does Hojo-sama mean ......," Date Masamune asked lightly.

"We hope to reunite with the Mutsu Alliance and form a stronger coalition. Then strike first and attack the Eight Miscellaneous Snake directly! Hojo Sakumo's words shocked everyone again, they never thought that Yaki would not go to trouble the Kanto people, but the Kanto people would instead want to take the initiative to provoke the Yachi Orochi.

"Isn't it a long life?!" The people of Mutsu suddenly had such an idea in their hearts, but there were still a few old men who seemed to understand what the other party meant, and they looked down and thought with heavy faces.

"Take the initiative? Hehe...... Can you beat it? Date Masamune asked with a chuckle.

"I don't know...... Hojo Sakumo's words once again made the others scratch their heads, "I don't know if I can fight and fight?!" Naturally, everyone thought.

"But I know that no matter whether our lord takes the initiative to attack or not, the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes will eventually find us, so why not attack when the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes are not strong yet? Or don't you think there's anything wrong with being a slave to the Eight Snakes? Hojo Sakumo's words suddenly made the people of Mutsu extremely dissatisfied, and they stood up again, obviously, Hojo Sakumo's words had touched the dignity of these guys' samurai.

However, Date Masamune waved his hand to let the group sit down again, and then he continued to ask, "I don't know what kind of union law it is?" ”

"Hehe, it's actually similar to today's Kwantung Federation or Mutsu Alliance. It's just that militarily, we have to unify our command. However, I don't think the combination of His Royal Highness Kenshin Uesugi as the commander-in-chief and His Royal Highness Shingen Takeda and His Highness Michikan Ota as the deputy generals will not make you feel dissatisfied, right? As for internal affairs, it will be handled by our Hojo family. Hojo Sakumo said with a chuckle, casually throwing out the names of the three great gods and his own family by the way.

Well, if you talk about who can fight the most in the history of Kanto, there is no doubt that Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen are the first to be promoted, and although Ota Michikan is a little weaker, he is almost an undefeated military god-level figure. And there is no doubt about the Hojo family's internal affairs ability, is it a joke that the world's first fortified city is a joke?

So when Hojo Sakumo threw out so many lives, everyone in Mutsu was silent. Maybe they still had some ideas to fight for power, but as soon as these gods appeared, all thoughts disappeared, and to put it bluntly, no one among the people in Mutsu would think that they had the ability to fight for power with them, even Date Masamune, who had always been very confident.

"Who is the alliance leader??" Date Masamune asked softly, this question is actually the one he is most concerned about, if it is Takeda Shingen or Hojo Shiyasu, then Date Masamune really doesn't really want to ally with the other party, because the reputation of these two is really not good.

"Naturally, he is humble and trustworthy, except for him, I'm afraid no one can convince many forces." Hojo Sakumo said in an unusual sigh.

To be honest, when Hojo Sakumo came to this world, he immediately advocated the initiation of the Kwantung Alliance after figuring out the situation. This is naturally because in his opinion, as long as the Kanto Alliance is established, then the Hojo family will undoubtedly become the leader of the alliance. In other words, during the Warring States Period in Japan, most of the daimyo were just one alliance leader, so Hojo Sakumo worked very hard to help the Hojo family win the position of alliance leader.

It's a pity, I don't know if it's the Hojo family who is really not kind enough, the big and small daimyo of Kanto are not convinced by the Hojo family, even if the difference in strength is very large, if you don't accept it, you don't accept it, not to mention that now there is a victorious Ota Dao Guan God to give them a head? And when Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin appeared and brought the news of the Eight Miscellaneous Orochi, everyone immediately obediently joined the Kwantung Alliance.

It's just that there is almost no election for the position of the leader of this alliance, and Uesugi Kenshin directly sat on it. This made Hojo Sakumo very shocked, to know which of these Kanto heroes is easy? With such an old seniority, it is extremely difficult to compete, but the person in front of him has almost been praised by everyone to the position of the leader of the alliance.

However, after listening to his descendant Hojo Shiyasu introduce the deeds of Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, Hojo Sakumo had nothing to say. To put it bluntly, if he didn't have the idea of fighting for the leader of the alliance for the Hojo family, then he would also offer Kenshin Uesugi as the leader of the alliance, because it was very simple, Kenshin Uesugi was the most suitable person!

And after hearing the name of Uesugi Kenshin, the forces of Mutsu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. There is no doubt that for them, Uesugi Kenshin is a very good person, and they are very clear.

"If it's humble and honest, then naturally there is no problem." Date Masamune said lightly. Well, how do you say it? When the other party moved out of the Eight Snakes, Date Masamune knew that there was no reason to refuse. Quite simply, as long as they don't want to be slaves of the Eight Snakes, they must rebel together. Because no one has the confidence that they can defeat the Eight Miscellaneous Snake with their own strength, even if they resist, it is impossible. Moreover, with the strength of Mutsu itself, there was simply no way to refuse Kanto's request.

However, although the matter of the alliance is so decided, there are still many things to be busy with, such as the Mutsu forces have to find a time to meet with the Kanto group of heroes, meet the alliance leader or something, there are many things. (To be continued......)
