Chapter 1077 Different Paths

"Big Hu collar?"

The two concubines looked at Dao Shengmeng together, with bright eyes, and Onogi asked again first.

"My lord, are you sure about this?"

Shimao nodded slowly.

"This time when Echigo's army went south, His Highness Uesugi gave Shimono Kingdom Sano Castle to Irobe Katsunaga, and let Nagao take over Tatebayashi Castle. Both places are important points, and they must be handed over to Uesugi's retainers and Nagao clan relatives.

Numata Castle is the bridgehead for the Echigo Kingdom to enter the Kanto Plain, and Stable Bridge Castle is the frontier base for the Echigo Army to go south, and it is impossible for His Highness Uesugi to let go.

The Agatsuma County has been promised to Sanada Nobushige by the imperial platform, so the two largest wealthy territories left are the Dahu Territory and the Nabo Territory. "

Looking at the expecting two concubines, Shimao Katsuki said fiercely.

"The Tone River is in the Nawa Territory from north to south to southeast, Ueno Kingdom and Musashi Kingdom divide the north and south, the relationship between the Ueno and Musashi countries in this area is too complicated.

His Highness Uesugi will definitely send his own people to guard the frontiers of the two countries in Nabo and supervise the local samurai.Then the only thing we can choose is the big beard collar. "

Igazaki Michiyoshi frowned.

"The Uesugi family is too greedy. They took all the good land and left us with leftovers."

Dao Sheng glanced at her sharply and said.

"The Kanto servant is located in the Kanto region, and only Sanada Nobushige stands in the corner of Agatsuma County, which is considered to be somewhat prestigious in Ueno. Do the remaining samurai have a little influence on the Kanto plain?
Your Highness Uesugi is the leader of the Kanto, the second person in the Kanto ten-nation system, and the strength of the Uesugi family should be a little more, so what can you do? "

Igazaki Michijun was momentarily at a loss for words, and lowered his head.

Shimao said fiercely.

"If you have time to complain that the Uesugi family eats too much, it's better to hold on to the share we might get, and don't let anyone else take it away.

Dahu collar is part of the southeast plain of Ueno country, the land is fertile, and I can fight for it with my military exploits.

But if next spring, a large number of our elites are drawn to the nearest few, how can we keep this rich land?
Will the Uesugi retainers reason with us?Will the Kanto Wu family covet our land?It is only right to stay in Kanto until we digest our bounty. "

The two concubines nodded together, they had already been persuaded by the cake that Shimao Katsuo drew.

If Dao Shengmeng can win the Dahu collar, of course they are willing to stay and manage the territory well. It is great to go back to the old enemy, but it doesn't matter if they have their own food.

Seeing that they were obedient, Dao Sheng heaved a sigh of relief. She was seductive, but in fact, what she thought in her heart was not as simple as she said.

Strictly speaking, the Kanto Shiba Territory only has the land of Tochio Castle that Uesugi Terutora gave Shiba Yoshigin, and the territory is not large.

Dao Shengmeng seems to be the head of the imperial united front group, the leader of the united front group in the Kanto Office, but at critical moments, she can't command anyone.

Inside the Guandong Servant, just as Dazang Changan pointed out to Shibo Yoshihim, there is a lack of laws and constraints.

Although Dazang Chang'an has been appointed by Yoshihiko Shiba to start reforming laws and regulations to gather authority, but the time to implement it is too short to achieve results.

Yoshihiko Shiba hurried back to the nearest city to put out the fire. The Kanto samurai family was slippery, and the situation in Kanto was changing. It was hard to say whether the semi-finished product of the Kanto Servant could last until his return.

Shima Katsumoto can't just watch the foundation that the lord has worked hard for two years collapse, she wants to support the lord to support the overall situation of the Siba family's Kanto.

Kanto servants may not be reliable, Uesugi Terotora may not be reliable, and Kanto people may not be reliable, but the samurai of Kanto Siba must be reliable.

Kanto and Kansai have looked down on each other since ancient times, and the recent samurai families who followed Shiba Yoshihiro to Kanto under Shima Katsuo's command are alienated from the Kanto samurai.

In order to gain a firm foothold in a foreign country, the samurai family of Shiba in Kanto must stick together tightly and closely follow Shiba Yoshiyin. This is the most reliable base for the Shiba family in Kanto.

Shimakatsu lured them south to Dahuling with huge profits and entered the Kanto Plain, which was to seize the entry point within the eight states for the Shiba family.

The influence of the Kanto Office on the Kanto Plain is too weak. Nobushige Sanada occupies a corner of Agatsuma County, but it is a border area near the Koshin Mountains, and it has little influence away from the Ueno Kingdom.

But Dahu collar is different. To the west of Dahu City is Stable Bridge City, an important town in the center of Ueno Kingdom.

To the east is Ashikaga Castle, a side town in Ashio Mountain, Shimono Country.Going south along the Ashio Mountains, you can go straight to Sano Ling, the gateway to the lower wilds.

To the south, from west to east are Nabo Territory, Jinshan Territory, and Guanlin Territory. These three territories are the borders of Ueno Kingdom and Musashi Kingdom.

Nabo leads, Uesugi Terutora will definitely send his cronies to sit in the town.Jinshan Ling is the site of the largest national population in Ueno, and Guanlin Ling is in the hands of Nagao Tonaga, which is an important town leading to the core area of ​​Kanto.

The success or failure of the Kanto Raiders depends on whether the Ueno Kingdom is firmly controlled by the Echigo side. This is the logistics base for the Echigo army to enter and exit the Kanto Plain.

The Dahu leader is north of the third leader. Once Uesugi Huihu can't hold the field, the Dahu city is the key to preventing the Kanto samurai from counterattacking the Ueno country.

Dao Sheng chose Dahucheng, a seemingly inconspicuous second-tier buffer zone that is actually better in all aspects, because he had an ambition.

With her nailed here, the Guandong Service Office can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and has its own influence.It will not cause Uesugi Terutora's family to dominate, and Shibo Yoshiyin has no deterrent to the Kanto Samurai.

Dao Sheng's eyes turned suddenly, and there was a flash of excitement, and she still had a little selfishness.

Yoshiki Ashikaga died in Nijo Castle, the lord has returned to his bachelor status, and the dispute over the Shiba family's marriage has surfaced again.

Shima Katsuo and Shiba Yoshigin have been back for a few days, what good is it for the marriage dispute?Near water and towers first get the moon?What a stupid idea.

Martial arts marriage relies on strength.If there is no use value, there is no possibility of being wooed, and it is also a reason to marry a man.

Returning to how much I have been with the lord recently, even if I stay with you on the bed, so what?In the end, the key to deciding to marry is still to see what benefits you can bring to the Shiba family.

In recent years, internal conflicts have been serious, and the forces of all parties restrict each other, making it difficult to develop a family business.At the beginning, it was also for this reason that the Lord chose to go to the Kanto to open up a new territory, right?
This time, the lord has no choice but to return to recent days, and the Kanto Chamber has lost its backbone. It seems to be in crisis, but in fact it also leaves a huge power vacuum.

In a crisis, there is an opportunity in a crisis.The land of Guanbazhou cannot be peaceful. The Guandong Wu family has too many thoughts and is definitely not a good generation. It is strange that nothing happens.

If the lord is not in Kanto, whoever can become the indispensable mainstay of the Kanto servants and keep the Kanto territory for the Siba family will be able to fill the power vacuum left by Shiba Yoshigin.

Whoever can fill this power vacuum will be the most important minister in the Kanto region of the Shiba family, and whoever will be the right-hand man that Shiba Yoshigin must reuse in the future.

The scope of Kanto's display is far greater than that of recent days. If the lord does not want to give up the foundation of Kanto, he must win over the most important ministers in Kanto.

Then the value of this important minister in the heart of the lord and the status of the Shiba family will be very important, and it is even worth using marriage to win over.

Shima Katsumoto's face couldn't help revealing a look of secret joy, and the tip of his tongue lightly licked the corner of his mouth.But she immediately restrained herself vigilantly, maintaining a solemn face.

General Ashikaga died tragically, and the samurai family was overthrown. How could she laugh at this time?How can you be happy?She is a samurai Girihime, and she is passionate only to defend Kanto for the lord.

Right, that is it.

She told herself silently, Dao Shengmeng, she wants to make a career in Kanto.Only in this way will it be possible to get what you want.

In the Sanada camp, Sanada Nobushige took the main seat carelessly and shouted.

"Sasuke, I'm thirsty, pour me some tea."

Sarutobi Sasuke also participated in the mourning ceremony just now, howling so dryly.Before everyone could sit still, they were ordered by Sanada Nobushige as a handyman, and said angrily.

"Why am I going to pour the tea?"

"You're fat, have you ever talked to the Lord like this?"

"I am Yori sent to you by the imperial platform, not a servant!"

Nobushige Sanada rubbed his head.

"It seems to make sense, so please pour me a cup of tea, Mr. Yuli."

Sasuke Sarutobi was so angry that his fingers trembled, pointing at Nobushige Sanada with a hippie smile, he was speechless, finally he snorted and went out to pour tea.

At this time, only Sanada Nobushige and Uno Toshiichi were left in the shogunate.

Unori shook his head and said.

"You will soon be the daimyo of Azuma County Wanshi, the master of one party, you can't always be so unrestrained, it will hinder your prestige."

Sanada Nobushige waved his hand and said.

"It's okay, Sasuke is not an outsider.

I'm restless, if I don't tease her, who else can I tease?Ever since Odai promised me the land of my wife's county, Mochizuki and Nezu have all looked at me in the wrong way. "

Sanada Nobushige sighed, and said sincerely to Unano Toshiichi.

"I now understand what it means to be in a high place and be selfless. I just climbed to Wanshi, and I already have no friends.

Fortunately, Liu Niang, you and Sasuke still treat me as before, so that I have a place to breathe. "

Hearing Sanada Nobushige's foul language, Uno Toshikazu frowned slightly and scolded.

"Be decent, your status is different, and it is a good thing that everyone can know how to advance and retreat.

As for me, it is my duty to speak unkind words and to speak unkind words.As for Sasuke Sarutobi, you and she are both a little slow, but this is actually not good. "

Sanada Nobushige shook his head and said.

"Don't, don't make Sasuke respectful and obedient, this life can suffocate me to death, it's fine as it is now.

Don't talk about this, I feel annoyed, the strategy of Kanto has just started, and I want to continue to climb up, a basin of cold water pours down.

This Ashikaga General died at the wrong time, right? "

The three-none girl Umino Toshiichi never thought that one day she would be frightened to death.She rushed forward and covered Nobushige Sanada's mouth and nose, wishing to tear this open mouth.

She stared at the other party with cold eyes, and squeezed out every word from between her teeth.

"Zhen, Tian, ​​Xin, Fan, think before you speak."

Nobushige Sanada trembled like a quail, and nodded cautiously.Uninori glared at her, then let her go, and wiped his hands with his sleeves in disgust.

Sanada Nobushige laughed dryly.

"Liu Niang, I didn't mean that."

Unori looked at her expressionlessly and said.

"No, you are."

"That. I'm really not..."

"No, you really are. You're just happy, you just think you have a chance."

Being ruthlessly exposed by Uno Toshiichi, Nobushige Sanada simply broke the jar.

"That's right! You're right!"

Seeing the shameless and energetic Sanada Nobushige, Uno Toshiichi sighed helplessly and didn't want to say anything more.

Sighing seems to be contagious, Nobushige Sanada sighed and said.

"The Royal Terrace Office is about to return. The situation in the Kanto Office is chaotic. I don't know what to do next."

Uno Toshiichi said lightly.

"It's nothing more than the two rivals in love, Yukimori Yamanaka and Katsumo Shima. I don't know how they will deal with the new situation."

Nobushige Sanada rubbed his head and laughed.

"Liu Niang saw through it all."

Umino Toshi was also helpless against this thick-skinned master.

If you scold her, you will laugh, if you beat her, you will suffer, and if you give Umino a share of all the benefits, you will be obedient, which makes people feel moved and helpless.

Uno Toshiichi said seriously.

"It's not hard to guess what they are thinking. Yamanaka Yukimori will ask to come back, and Shima Katsumo will choose to stay."

When Nobushige Sanada heard this, he suddenly became energetic and asked.

“How come you see?”

Uno Toshiichi said.

"Yamanaka Yuki is famous as the deacon of the Kanto Chamber, but he is actually the leader of the Yutai people Xiayuezhong.

The Guandong Servant is located in Shibata City in Xiayue, Echigo Kingdom, and Xiayuezhong's territory is also in Xiayue. They did not show their military achievements this time, and they did not receive much reward.

If it is done step by step, there will be no surprises.Yamanaka Xingsheng will be left in the corner of Shimogoshi, waiting for the return of the Imperial Palace, and start the Kanto Raiders again.

Wasting time and wasting time, she must not be willing. "

Sanada Nobushige nodded.

"Yeah, you can't touch anything if you go down to the corners.

The people in the Guandong Office didn't like to talk to her, thinking that she was just a lucky minister, mediocre and useless, and it was impossible to think of her when something happened. "

Unori nodded and said.

"Yamanaka Yukimori rose from the favor of the imperial court, and the favored ministers cannot stay away from the lord, otherwise they will be marginalized and kicked out of the center of power.

If she wasn't stupid, she would definitely cling to Yutaisuo's thigh tightly and bring her subordinates to follow her back for a few days, and she could also take the opportunity to earn more rewards. "

Sanada Nobushige thought for a while and said.

"It makes sense, if she is not so stupid, she will definitely follow the Imperial Palace. Ahhh! I'm so jealous!"

With a vein popping out of his forehead, Uno Tori roared.

"To shut up!"

Nobushige Sanada quickly covered his mouth, gestured for Unano Toshikazu to continue, leaving her speechless for a while.

Uno Toriichi sighed and continued.

"Shima Katsutoshi is different. The core samurai under her command all come from recent days. They seem to be the losers of recent battles in Siba, and they did not come to Kanto voluntarily."

Sanada Nobushige was puzzled.

"Since it's not voluntary, isn't it just right to go back?"

Uno Riichi sneered.

"How can a defeated dog who has been expelled go back so easily?
It has been almost two years since they left, and most of their relatives immigrated to Siboling, Kanto.There are no traces of them in the old hometown. How easy is it to go back?
Besides, Shimao Katsuo should have his own selfishness. "
