When the Uesugi army returned to Echigo, Hojo Shiyasu and Imagawa Yoshimoto, who were far away on the other side of Honshu Island, "unexpectedly" learned that all the generals of the Takeda army had been captured before the Takeda family, who were closer to them, but the Takeda soldiers were used by the Uesugi family to exchange news of Shinano.

And when their ninja confirmed the news from Shinano and reported back to their lord, Shinano's guard had just received an order from the new Takeda family governor Takeda Katsuyori to return Shinano to Murakami Kunikiyoshi and others, and to lead his troops to withdraw to Shikai as quickly as possible.

As a result, Hojo Sakumo, on the premise of knowing that this was the Uesugi family's conspiracy, still refused to miss the great opportunity to annex Kai, and under the pretext of "assisting the Takeda family to defend Kai and resist the Uesugi family", he brazenly tore up the alliance and led his daughter into Kai.

Imagawa Yoshimoto was more face-saving than Hojo's mother and daughter, so he lost the opportunity, but adopted Taiyuan Yukisai's strategy, and hurriedly led his army into Kai under the pretext of "helping the Takeda family crusade against the Hojo family who broke their alliance".

Although Hojo Sakumo took the lead, Imagawa Yoshimoto had already begun to prepare for "Kamiraku", although this time it was a cramped dispatch of troops, but it was stronger than the Hojo family in terms of material reserves and soldier mobilization, and only temporarily turned the troops to Kai.

Oda Nobunaga, the great fool of Owari, should be grateful to Chu Xuan - although she still doesn't know that Imagawa Yoshimoto has plans for "Kamiraku"; And Imagawa Yoshimoto should also be grateful to Chu Xuan - although she did not believe that she would be defeated at the hands of Oda Nobunaga until she died.

However, Oda Nobunaga should hate Chu Xuan even more, and if Imagawa Yoshimoto delayed the time of "Kamiro", it is difficult to say whether the surprise attack of Tsukisama would succeed - although before the success of the surprise attack, even Oda Nobunaga himself did not expect that he could really defeat the extremely powerful Imagawa Yoshimoto.

The story between Oda Nobunaga and Imagawa Yoshimoto will definitely not happen in Chu Xuan's remaining half a year, and it is difficult to say whether it will happen again in the future, but the Takeda family is now occupied by the Imagawa army or the Hojo army, so don't think about taking it all back in the future.

However, with the support of the Uesugi family, to be precise, with the support of the Takeda family generals and others who have been transferred to the Uesugi family, the Takeda family should be able to take back a small half of the territory, and then Hojo Sakumo and Imagawa Yoshimoto will reunite to confront the Takeda family.

The Uesugi family, on the other hand, completely tied up the Takeda family and the generals who transferred to the Uesugi family, so that they would not have the energy to think about "other issues" for a long time in the future.

As for Takeda Shingen, she is definitely going to continue to be a "guest" at the Uesugi house, but presumably this very bold royal sister (in fact, only twenty years old!) He said he wouldn't be upset.

Chu Xuan's strategy made Shinano and Ueno in the south of Echigo completely under the protection of two loyal allies, Murakami Yoshikiyo and Nagano Yoshinaga, while the Kai Takeda family, who had always wanted to conquer these two places, turned against the two "former" allies in the south, the Suruga Imagawa family and the Sagami Hojo family, and became a de facto vassal force of the Uesugi family.

As for Echichu in the west of Echigo, the monks and disciples who had been fooled by the Ichisui sect so that they were not afraid of death, including the masters of the Ichijo sect themselves, after experiencing that hellish battle, it was impossible for them to have the courage to take the initiative to provoke the Uesugi family.

And the Iwashiro Ashina family in the east of Echigo has been weak for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that their neighbors were not very obedient to the Uesugi family, and the wealthy family of the North Echishi family, "Yang Beizhong", who had a strong reading power, they would have been destroyed by the previous head of the Uesugi family.

As for the Nan Ha Mae Date family in the east of Hokuechi, northeast of Iwashiro, although they have peacefully resolved the problem of family infighting and quickly consolidated their power through marriage, they are also in trouble with the Mogami family in Hokuha-mae.

Mogami Yoshihime, who had previously married to the Date family, was known as the "Ghost Queen of Wisdom and Courage", and she hoped that her daughter, Masamune, the "One-Eyed Dragon" who had great strength at a young age, would inherit the Date family, and was strongly supported by her sister Yoshimitsu Mogami, who was also eloquent.

And the eyes of Masamune, the daughter of Mogami Yoshihime, who have been covered under the blindfold, are the same burgundy red as the Nanbanians, and it is absolutely impossible for the Date family to be the species, so of course the Date family will not consider letting this "one-eyed dragon" Masamune, who is only nominally the blood of the Date family, inherit the Date family, not to mention that her mother's family is still eyeing the North Feather family.

As a result, the Uesugi family, with the sea to the north, was at its most stable in history, and several of their neighbors were either loyal allies, frightened, or had other enemies -- the weak and incompetent one was not taken seriously by everyone from beginning to end.

In this case, Kenshin-chan, who returned to Echigo with the momentum of a great victory, immediately implemented Chu Xuan's "reform plan" after the captured generals of the Takeda Army officially left the Uesugi family, and returned Echigo's land to "state ownership", and began to divide the land but not fight the local tyrants.

- In fact, Kenshin-chan only nationalized all the land in name, but the territory that originally belonged to the Hao clan was redistributed to them.

In addition, Kenshin-chan announced that he would no longer divide the land and that he would adopt the "Yulu system" to reward his retainers in the future, and he also raised the salaries of all his retainers a lot in the name of this Echigo defensive battle, although most of the retainers did not have any outstanding merits except for the "Echigo People's Liberation Army."

Under the double pressure of sticks and sweet dates, the powerful wealthy families of Echigo, including the Usami family, the Kakizaki family, and the "Yangbei people" after North Echi, had to choose to give in knowing that even if they returned the land to the Uesugi family "in name", they would inevitably lay hidden dangers for the future.

After all, with the support of those retainers who were still loyal to the Uesugi family, the newly promoted retainers who had been converted from the Takeda family to the Takeda family, and the "Echigo People's Liberation Army", Kenshin-chan's strength was far greater than the sum of these retainers from these disobedient wealthy families.

However, although it is said that as long as they are alive, the spark of "revolution" will be preserved, and one day it will form a prairie fire, but Chu Xuan's "political commissar" has definitely more experience in "a spark can set the prairie on fire" than these wealthy families in the later Yue.

Believing in the masses, relying on the masses, coming from the masses, and going to the masses, compared with those Echigo wealthy clans who still belong to the exploiting class in essence, have magnificently turned into the great leaders of the Echigo people, and will also become the great leaders of the Shinano people and Kai people in the future, Kenshin-chan will surely defeat all reactionaries and let the land and sky of Echigo truly belong to the people of Echigo!
