different warring states of japan

Chapter 1084 Beijo has a strong character

At this time, Yoshigin no longer cared about Ashikaga Yoshishi's careful thinking, and he turned his attention to Ota Susaki and Oishi Sadahisa.

The two had been paying attention to the atmosphere in the hall, seeing Shiba Yoshihiro looking at them, they went out and bowed together.

Ota Susuma said.

"Some warriors are short-sighted and shameless, and we don't want to be with them.

The Hojo family went against the grain and attacked Ogaya Uesugi's family.The Ota family in Yanfucheng is the head of the house, and they have been blessed by the world. They are willing to work for the governor of the Kanto, to bring order out of chaos, and to avenge the master's family. "

Dashi Dingjiu bowed.

"As Uesugi's vassals in the mountains, the Dashi family is willing to fight side by side with the family governor, and death will never come sooner."

The two spoke generously, but Yoshihiro heard a little sincerity from it. They represented the interests of the two former Uesugi ministers of the Musashi Kingdom.

The Uesugi family, the leader of Kanto, was the husband of the first Ashikaga general, Ashikaga Takaji, and was entrusted with the important task of serving as the daughter of Ashikaga Takaji, the Kamakura Ashikaga family head of the first Kanto general.

The Uesugi family has multiplied in Kanto for hundreds of years. There are four main branches. Among them, the Yamauchi Uesugi family and the Inugaku Uesugi family are the most noble, and they compete for power and profit with each other.

Later, the Inuxuan Uesugi family declined, and the Ogi Valley Uesugi family rose, becoming the new opponent of the Yamauchi Uesugi family.

The influence of the Ogiya Uesugi family is mainly in the Sagami country, and the family governor is hereditary Sagami guardian.The Uesugi family in the mountains has a deeper foundation, with branches all over Echigo, Ueno, and Shimono countries.

The confrontation between the two is mainly in the Musashi Kingdom, which is at the forefront of the two sides' spheres of influence.The Ota family is the steward of the Uesugi Ogiya family, and the Oishi family is the Musashi guardian generation of the Uesugi family in the Yamauchi family.

The Ogaya Uesugi family was able to rise, and the Ota family, who was the master, made great contributions.

Important cities such as Matsuyama Castle, Edo Castle, Iwafu Castle, and Kawagoe Castle in Musashi are all built by the Ota family.

Ota's ancestors had a great influence, and later generations are mainly divided into two branches.One is the Edo Castle Ota family of the daughter-in-law family, and the other is the Iwasuke Castle Ota family of the niece family.

With the decline of the two Uesugi families, the Musashi Kingdom was annexed by the Hojo family, and the old parties of the two Uesugi families are getting more and more difficult.

The Hojo family uses both military and internal affairs methods. While coercing the two Uesugi old parties and bowing their heads, they use four people and six people to buy the hearts of the bottom, and use tax reform to poach their corners.

The Ota family in Edo Castle lay down and surrendered early.Ota Zizheng of Iwafu Castle insisted on fighting to the end, but he had to surrender to save his family business.

As for Dashi Dingjiu, she was about to be forced to welcome the heirs of the Hojo family.Marry her son, use her family name, take her family property.The Hojo family is also a good player at playing with doves and magpies.

If there were no accidents, the two Uesugi remnants of the Musashi Kingdom would be played to death by the Hojo family sooner or later.

So Echigo's army came, and Ota Susuma was the first to do it anyway.It was she who came forward to persuade Oishi Sadahisa, Ota Yasuko, Ueda Asano and other powerful samurai from Musashi to vote for Uesugi Terutora.

This time the coalition disbanded, and the two Uesugi remnants refused to leave. They were die-hard samurai who opposed the Hojo family, and the most staunch supporters of the Echigo side in Musashi.

This standing in the team not only made Terutoro Uesugi very satisfied, but also Yoshihiro Shiba looked at him with admiration.

The Kwantung Wu family is famous for facing Qin Muchu, and it is rare for these people to stand firm.Although they are also considering their own interests, but the senses are indeed a plus.

But in the face of the righteous words of these two people, there were still some noises and criticisms in the hall.Nagano industry thought for a while, stepped out and bowed.

"Your Majesty, although our army intends to fight the rebels to the death, the current situation is indeed not good. The cold winter is approaching, and the army is scattered. It is better to take a long-term plan."

Uesugi Terutora narrowed his eyes and asked back.

"Oh? How about a long-term plan?"

Nagano Yezheng was taken aback for a moment, she actually wanted to retreat.But it was inappropriate to say these words from her mouth, it seemed that she feared the enemy like a tiger.

She is the leader of the Minawa clan, and the Nishi Ueno samurai family is far away from the Sagami country, and she fights life and death to make contributions to others.

There are only [-] Kwantung coalition forces left, and the longer they stay in the Hojo family's territory, the less safe they will be.To be on the safe side, retreating is the best policy.

Nagano Ye was afraid that Uesugi Terutora would be aroused by the words of these two people, and insisted on fighting the Hojo family to the end, so he came forward to pour cold water.

Who knew Uesugi Terutora was in a bad mood, so he stopped the conversation directly.Only then did Nagano Yezheng realize that he had made a slip of the tongue and was suspected of being afraid of war.

Seeing her silence, Uesugi Terotora felt even angrier.Nagano Industry was using the Kanto Raiders to drive away Nobata Nobutada who was pro-Hojo, and now he is the only one in Nishi Ueno.

At this moment, what does she mean by blatantly emphasizing difficulties?It's nothing more than she wants to preserve her strength, but she dare not say it clearly because of her position.

In terms of military affairs, Nagano's statement is correct.But politically, there must be no weakness now.

The Echigo side fought against the Hojo family, and finally won a decisive victory in the Sano area.If the Hojo family cannot be further forced to make political concessions, the battle will be in vain.

War is a continuation of politics.

Uesugi Terutora and Hojo Ujiyasu, the two Kanto leaders, who is the orthodox, has a lot to do with who of them can justifiably rule the land of Guanbashu.

If the Echigo army retreats at this time, what will the Seki Yashu samurai think of Uesugi Terutora?Her succession ceremony just passed a day ago!
Uesugi Terotora is getting more and more displeased with Nagano Karmasa's long-time ally.Thinking of her promises in Nishi Ueno, and even the light behind her back, it feels like a hidden danger.

Seeing that the two of them were speaking stiffly, Shiba Yoshiyin had to speak out to ease.

"Master Nagano is mature and prudent, and what he said is indeed reasonable.

Loyalty is good for deeds, if everyone can open their hearts like the elders, be open and honest, and unite as one.

Why worry about the failure of the big event? "

Yoshihiko Shiba talked a lot, all nonsense.But he stepped forward to smooth things over, and Uesugi Terutora and Nagano Yezheng looked a little better, and they fooled the matter.

Nagano Karma stopped talking, and Shiba Yoshigin glanced at her, but he was also alert in his heart.

The more crisis there is, the more we can see the vacillators in the team.Is Nagano Karmasa really old? This old woman, who is worried about gains and losses, has lost her original heroic determination and has become conservative and hesitant.

Her conservatism is a very unfavorable negative emotion for Echigo's Kanto strategy.The value of this ally is declining, and the threat is rising.

Yiyin was wary of her, but it was inconvenient to think about it at this moment, and he turned his thoughts back to the predicament in front of him.

He said kindly to Ota Zizheng and Oishi Jojiu.

"I am very touched by the loyalty of the two kings.

Musashi Kingdom is the Musashi Kingdom within the Kanto system, not a playground for anyone to act recklessly.The samurai tradition must be observed, and the famous family must be respected. "

Yoshigin looked back at Uesugi Terutora, saw her nod slightly, and continued.

"Until the Hojo family realizes their mistakes and is willing to repent, His Highness Uesugi and I will never compromise."

Ota Zizheng and Dashi Dinghiu were overjoyed, and kowtowed to the ground to thank them.They are the famous traditional family of Musashi, and they are also the local samurai family who suffered the most after the Hojo family swallowed the Musashi country.

Yoshihiro Shiba made it very clear.

First, the Echigo side respects the interests of the prestigious Musashi Kingdom.Second, the Echigo side will protect their interests from being violated by the Hojo family.

With Shiba Yoshiyin's two guarantees, their decision to take the risk to stay and take a gamble only made sense.

Ota Zizheng made his statement immediately and bowed.

"The imperial platform is wise, the two of us will restrain the samurai families under our command, serve the public with courage, and work hard for the peace of the Kanto region."

Dashi Dingjiu also bowed, expressing his determination.

Ota Suzumasa represents the remnants of the Musashi clan of the Ogiya Uesugi family, and Oishi Sadahisa represents the remnants of the Yamauchi Uesugi family in Musashi. This time, they are going to advance and retreat with the Echigo army.

Yiyin asked Ota Zizheng.

"Ueda went straight?"

Ota Zizheng said solemnly.

"Ueda Asahi was confused, and was afraid for a while, so he took it back without authorization. But please rest assured, she will never dare to do unrighteous things, I can guarantee it."

Yi Yin nodded and said.

"I believe you."

The logistics line for the Echigo army to enter the Sagami country is through Matsuyama Castle and Takiyama Castle in North Musashi.

Ota Sumasa and Oishi Sadahisa's firm standing in line can at least stabilize half of Kita Musashi for the Echigo army.

The lord of Takiyama City, Oishi Sadahisa, is here. As long as Ueda Asano of Matsuyama Castle does not make any troubles, there will be no problem with the logistics supply of Echigo's army for the time being.

Only when the logistics support is stable, Yoshihiro Shiba has the confidence to beat the table in the negotiation with the Hojo family.

While the few people were talking, a priest in the palace stepped into the palace and kowtowed to the ground.

"I would like to inform your highnesses that Mr. Hojo Huan'an has requested to enter the palace for an audience."

Ashikaga Yoshishi, Shiba Yoshigin, and Uesugi Terutora were all taken aback, Hojo Genan dared to come?

Uesugi Terutora sneered and said.

"Call her in."

The priest went out for a while before Hojo Huanan slowly entered.She had a normal complexion, and Shi Shiran saluted with complete etiquette.

Seeing her calm face, Uesugi Terotora couldn't suppress his anger any longer, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he asked with a murderous look.

"Hojo Huanan, you are sowing discord behind your back, yet you dare to come to see me! Could it be that you think my sword is not good enough to cut off your head!"

Hojo Genan smiled slightly, this old nun straightened his back for the first time in Uesugi Terutora, sitting upright, no longer bowing his knees these days.

she proudly said.

"I am the envoy of the Hojo family, why dare not come to see you? The two armies are at war, if you do not kill the envoy, Uesugi Terutora must have heard this sentence.

The old nun is the sister of His Royal Highness Hojo Clan, a member of the Hojo family, four generations of important ministers in the family, ashamed of the responsibility of diplomacy.Although this body is very old and decayed, he dare not insult the Hojo family's name and shamelessly seek to live.

If His Royal Highness Uesugi intends to break the relationship, just take the head on the neck! "

Shiba Yoshigin squinted slightly beside him.

The person is still the same person, the old woman with goose skin and silver hair.

But at this time, her temperament has completely changed.Majestic and majestic, he would rather fold than submit, and he was a different person from the previous flattering appearance in front of Uesugi Terutoro.

Terutor Uesugi was also surprised, looked at her deeply for a while, and suddenly applauded.

This old nun is good at acting, able to bend and stretch.It's really a good way to coax Uesugi Huihu into a circle, and instigate the Guandong Wu family to disperse most of them overnight.

Uesugi Terotora hated her for being behind the scenes, but as Hojo's envoy, she was indeed dedicated and worthy of respect.

"Okay, what a Hojo Huanan! Why are you here this time?"

Hojo Huanan said solemnly.

"Entrusted by my lord, please discuss peace with His Highness Uesugi.

The war is endless, and the people are suffering.This year, Guan Bazhou was hit by drought again, and people's livelihood withered.

My lord would like to end the war with His Royal Highness Uesugi, return the Kanto to peace for a few days, and give the people a chance to recuperate. "

Hojo Genan had a merciful face, Uesugi Terutora laughed back in anger, this old nun is really shameless.

Before, the Kwantung Allied Forces were strong and Hojo was weak, so she never talked about negotiating for the sake of livelihood and people.Now that the Kwantung Allied Forces have disintegrated and the situation has changed, she immediately jumped out to demand peace.

Dare to feel that the common people in Guan Bazhou are just chamber pots, they can be used if necessary, and there is no need to care about her father's life or death.

Terutora Uesugi was trembling with anger. She was deceived by this cunning guy, and she really thought that the Hojo family had bowed their heads and confessed, and only waited for the succession ceremony to be completed before Yasushi Hojo's sword surrendered.

Now that there are only [-]% of the Kwantung Allied Forces left, Hojo Huanan's act of pity and compassion to negotiate for the sake of the common people is really deceiving.

she said coldly.

"Master Hojo, you have chosen a good time."

Hojo Genan bowed and said calmly.

"I don't dare to do it, it's all thanks to the kindness of His Highness Uesugi, who gave me a good time."

This sarcasm made Uesugi Terutoro's eyes instantly red. If she hadn't been so complacent and humiliated Narita Changyasu in the ceremony, Hojo Genan would not have exploded the contradictions of the Kwantung Allied Forces for a while.

Just as she was about to lose her temper, Yiyin coughed and cast a caring look at her.Uesugi Terutoro realized that Hojo Genan was trying to provoke her.

Yoshiyin looked at the diplomatic nun of Hojo's family, and sighed in his heart, it's a thief to grow old and not die.

This old guy is so skilled, it's really hard to deal with.It would be really troublesome if Uesugi Terutora got mad and hacked her to death in Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace.

The war between Uesugi and Hojo's two families can no longer be fought, the Hojo clan's elites have been wiped out, Uesugi Terutora has gone deep into the enemy's rear and his army is scattered, Shiba Yoshiyin and Kyoto have a lot of bad things to clean up.

Everyone doesn't want to fight anymore, and now the fight is nothing more than a favorable ending.

The Echigo side wants to establish an advantage for the next conquest, and Hojo Ujiyasu wants to minimize losses as much as possible and preserve the political and military vitality of the Hojo family.

Whether Hojo Genan is here or not, this negotiation must continue.But if she is hacked to death by Terutora Uesugi, the Hojo family will get a heavy bargaining chip called morality.

As she said, when the two armies are at war, they should not be beheaded.Uesugi Terutora killed people, Hojo Genan punished his heart, and the latter party had to make concessions if they were at a loss in etiquette, so that this negotiation could continue.

This is the purpose of Hojo Huanan. This old nun is indeed loyal to the Hojo family, and she is thinking hard about gaining the initiative in diplomacy.

Hojo Genan saw Shiba Yoshigin looking at her and bowed slightly to show her respect. She was actually not worried about her own safety.

This round of head-to-head confrontation with Terutora Uesugi is just to eliminate the negative impact on the Hojo family's reputation from the previous servile behavior.
