Chapter 1085 The Beginning of Negotiations

Hojo Genan knew that Terutora Uesugi couldn't kill him.Because Shiba Yoshigin stopped him, the Echigo side was not allowed to fall into diplomatic passiveness.

The tougher she is here, the more it shows that the previous humbleness was a strategy of the Hojo family.The more it can wash away the disdain the Kanto family has for the Hojo family because of this incident.

Family name and prestige are intangible assets, which should be cherished and not wasted wantonly.

Internal affairs, military affairs, and diplomacy are all fighting for their own interests in the final analysis.

Some interests can be seen and touched, and we must fight for them.Some benefits are invisible and intangible, but they cannot be given up.

Shiba Yoshigin signaled Uesugi Terutora to be calm, and said by himself.

"Master Hojo, are you here to demonstrate?"

Hojo Huanan said solemnly.

"I have absolutely no intention of doing so, I came here with the sincerity of the Hojo family.

I have already written to Odawara Castle, explaining the situation here, and invited my lord to come to Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine to discuss peace with His Royal Highness Uesugi. "

Yiyin raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly.

"His Highness Hojo Shiyasu is coming?"

Hojo Huanan shook his head.

"I forgot, the old governor has retired, and my lord is His Royal Highness the Hojo Clan."

Yiyin watched her silently, and secretly cursed the old fox.

Hojo Shiyasu has indeed abdicated, but she is still the head of the Hojo family.Hojo Ujimasa, the new governor, was just pushed to the front of the screen.

On the bright side, the Hojo clan went deep into dangerous places and negotiated with Uesugi Terotora with sincerity.Secretly, Hojo Shiyasu was in control of the overall situation, advancing and retreating freely.

On the one hand, Hojo Huanan embodies the strength of character of the Hojo family, and on the other hand, it shows the sincerity of the Hojo family, making it impossible to fault.

Yiyin can be considered to understand that the old nun is here today to disgust people.Negotiations will have to wait until the Hojo Clan arrives, but before the House Governor arrives, she wants to earn back the lost face of the Hojo family.

Glancing at Uesugi Terutoro whose complexion was getting worse and worse, she thought she understood, Yoshigin sighed.

"I see. Everything will be discussed after the Hojo Clan's Highness comes down. You should step down first."

Now that he has seen Hojo Huanan's intentions clearly, why not keep her for dinner?Get her out of here quickly!
Every word she said was poking Uesugi Terutoro's heart, pointing at her nose and calling silly b.Laugh at her, my mother is playing with you these days, are you happy?

If the stimulation continues, Yoshihiro is really afraid that Uesugi Terutoro will kill her in a fit of anger.The dream of Hojo Huanan was fulfilled, and a big bargaining chip was given to the Hojo Clan who came to negotiate.

This kind of lifeless old fritters, hob meat, is really difficult to handle.

Hojo Genan bowed with a smile and said.

"Hi! I'll go back to Yusheng City and wait for the Home Governor to arrive, and then I will come to Tsurugaoka Hachiman Palace to pay homage to the three Highnesses.

Farewell! "

After saluting generously, she walked out of the dance hall proudly, leaving only a tall and straight figure behind to keep everyone silent.

With the disintegration of the Kwantung Allied Forces, the Hojo family finally stopped pretending to be a grandson, and they were so tough that they bared their fangs.

Today, Hojo Genan's attitude is just a rehearsal before the negotiation, telling the other party that she has seen through the embarrassing situation of Echigo's party.

This is asking for directions, and it is also a warm-up for future negotiations.

Her meaning is very clear, the Hojo family has already understood the reality of Echigo's side.Let Uesugi Terotora take it easy when making conditions, and don't go too far, lest everyone fall apart.

After Hojo Genan left, Ashikaga Yoshishi had a complicated expression.

She is the Kwantung general raised by Hojo Shiyasu, and has a close relationship with the Hojo family.Although the two sides have turned against each other, but at this time there are still a lot of emotions in their hearts.

She said.

"The three generations of the Hojo family are outstanding. The Hojo family is the Kanto lioness. There are many talents in the family, and there are countless people who are both civil and military.

Hojo Genan is proficient in domestic affairs, military affairs and diplomacy, and is also a powerful figure. "

Uesugi Terutora snorted, and he really didn't like Ashikaga Yoshishi's words of boosting others' ambition and destroying his own prestige.

But after all, she is a Kwantung general, and she still has to give face in the hall, so it is inconvenient to refute.

Shiba Yoshigin raised his eyebrows coldly, and swept towards Ashikaga Yoshishi.This bastard's mind is impure, he doesn't know what assumptions he has, and he stirs things up everywhere.

For the success of the Kanto Raiders, the Hojo family must be suppressed, and the Kamakura Ashikaga family must not be revived, and her delusions must be suppressed.

Uesugi Terutora, as the leader of the Kanto region, if it is inconvenient to say, Shiba Yoshigin, the imperial master, can say it.

Yiyin said coldly.

"The palace of Kamakura is confused, the martial arts world has its own rules and regulations, the noble and the humble are orderly.

Ise woman pretends to be Hojo Miaozi, and the three generations of Hojo do evil, disturbing the peace in Kanto.Hojo Shiyasu also attempted to get involved in the power of the Kanto region, which is a heinous crime!
The pseudo-Hojo family suppressed the upper class, used the cheap to control the nobles, and disturbed the Kanto Gangji.If her family is allowed to succeed, will there still be justice in the land of Kanto?Is there still justice!

Both the Kamakura Hall and the Kanto governor are in Tsurugaoka Hachiman Palace, how can such despicable samurai be allowed to be presumptuous!
Three generations of heroes from the Hojo family?In my opinion, the wealth is no more than three generations, and the children and grandchildren are no more than mediocre, and they have to pay for the sins of their ancestors. "

Shiba Yoshigin spoke of his righteousness, and the samurai in the hall repeatedly agreed, even Ashikaga Yoshiji was no exception.Regardless of what they think in their hearts, they must maintain an attitude of approval on the face.

Ashikaga Yoshishi nodded with a smile, but he didn't think so in his heart.Shiba Yoshiyin is satirizing the Hojo Clan's administration and its poor performance in the Sano Territory.

In fact, Hojo's political ability is not bad, but he met Shiba Yoshigin and Uesugi Terutora in the first battle.When he left Xinshou Village, he encountered elite monsters. It can only be said that the Hojo Clan's administration had suffered bad luck.

But this time is different, the Hojo family successfully survived the most dangerous moment.

The Kwantung Allied Forces were disbanded, Shiba Yoshihiro was eager to return to Japan, Hojo Shiyasu could not miss this respite.Ashikaga Yoshishi is not optimistic about Uesugi Terutora.

Hojo Clan Yasushi is not the immature Hojo Clan Zheng. This old guy is a generation of British lords who turned the Kanto Plain upside down and led the Hojo family to the top.

If the righteousness that Shiba Yoshigin said was useful, the Kamakura Ashikaga family and the Ryouesugi family would not be beaten to death by Hojo Shiyasu.

Anyone can say beautiful words, but justice and justice are within the attack range of swords, guns and bows, and you can't win and say a p.

Shiba Yoshigin overwhelmed Ashikaga Yoshiji with his big words, but he also knew in his heart that the subsequent negotiations were not optimistic.

The Hojo family has already seen Echigo's hole card through Hojo Genan, and will never give in easily in the negotiation.It is not easy for the Hojo family to bow their heads and admit defeat.

---

Hojo Huanan left Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine and rushed northwest without stopping.After crossing the Katase River, I came to Tamanawa Castle and waited for the arrival of the Hojo Clan.

Overnight, she instigated Narita Changtai to leave the battle and return to the army, joined forces with the Kwantung Wu family to break up and run away, and played a trick of not punishing the crowd, disintegrating most of the Kwantung coalition forces.

But this was not enough. The Hojo family's joint battle in Sano was not only a failure of the foreign military, but also planted the seeds of internal instability.

It was because of this consideration that she asked the envoy Pan Kuaima to bring the letter back to Odawara Castle and invited the Hojo clan to come and preside over the negotiations.

The letter Hojo Genan wrote to Hojo Shiyasu made it very clear that she had figured out Uesugi Terotora's cards and was full of confidence in this negotiation.

Let Hojo Shizheng come here to give her the results of the negotiation as a merit.

Hojo Huan'an is old, and has long since lost his ambition for fame and fortune.She is highly respected in the Hojo family, and she doesn't need this credit to add to the cake. She cares more about the smooth continuation of the Hojo family business.

The defeat of the Sano leader almost put the Hojo family in a desperate situation. If the Hojo clan's administration cannot clean up this stain, there will be troubles in future governance.

One of the core members of the Hojo vassal group, Miyuo Shigeomi, the leader of the Izu clan, but a lot of them died in the battle in Sano. Can their parents, sisters and children forgive Hojo Shizheng?

The Kwantung Allied Forces besieged Odawara Castle. Under the oppression of external forces, the retainer group could temporarily let go of their prejudices and unite around the family governor, but this hidden danger has not been eliminated.

When external pressure weakens, internal conflicts emerge.One day in the future, when Hojo Ujiyasu passed away and the Hojo Clan ruled alone, would he suffer backlash because of this hidden danger?

Hojo Genan has paved the way for the negotiation, and the Hojo Shizheng is invited to come here so that she can pick this peach easily.

The governor of the family went to Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace in person, and fought with all the concubines, saving the interests of the Hojo family's family business. This is the dazzling feat designed by Hojo Genan for the Hojo clan government.

As long as the result of the negotiation is not bad, and with the help of effective publicity, the glorious image of the Hojo clan can be erected, at least it can offset the stain of Sano Ling's defeat, right?
Hojo Huanan didn't wait too long in Yusheng City, only two days later, the Hojo Clan came here on horseback.

After entering the city just now, she had no time to rest and freshen up, so she was discussing with Hojo Huanan in the castle tower, accompanied by important ministers such as Yasunari Hojo, Tamarojo Castle's representative.

The three greeted each other, and after they sat apart, Hojo Shizheng bowed deeply to Hojo Huanan, saying emotionally.

"Thank you, aunt and grandma."

Hojo Huanan shook his head and said.

"This is my duty, what does His Highness Shikang think about my proposal?"

Hojo Clan said solemnly.

"My lord mother read your letter and immediately ordered me to hurry day and night and come to Yusheng City quickly.

And solemnly told me that everything is decided by my aunt and grandma, and I must not violate it. "

Hojo Shizheng was really grateful, the defeat of Sano Ling was a nightmare in her heart, and the nightmare recurred almost every night.

She is not a fool, of course she knows what this defeat means, and it may even become a hidden danger that troubles her all her life.

Hojo Genan is selfless and willing to donate his diplomatic achievements to the Hojo clan government, which is a timely gift.The sooner you counteract the wash stain with credit, the better.

Seeing that the Hojo Clan knew what was good and what was wrong, Hojo Genan nodded slightly, stopped talking nonsense, and went directly to the topic.

"I followed the Kwantung Allied Forces to the Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace, exhausted all the way, but missed the opportunity to make a final decision.

Originally thought His Highness Shi Yasushi's plan was going to be miscalculated, who would have thought that the Hojo family would never stop, Uesugi Terutora made a big mistake in the worship ceremony. "

The Hojo clan complimented.

"Hojo's fate lies in Hojo, and it also requires people to do their best. My aunt and grandmother persuaded the Kanto Wu family to disperse the [-] army overnight. The means are really great."

Hojo Genan couldn't help showing a hint of a smile, this matter is indeed her proudest work, and it can even be called the most dazzling diplomatic act in her life.

Knowing that Hojo Shizheng was flattering her, Hojo Genan adjusted his mood and said calmly.

"Those who travel a hundred miles are half to ninety, and the little fox Qianji is at the tail. This matter is not over yet, and it is not yet the time to be happy.

Before I came back to Yusheng City, I went to Tsurugaoka Hachiman Palace to test it out.Eighty thousand of the Kwantung Allied Forces dispersed, but the remaining [-] are the hard bones. His Highness Uesugi's attitude is still very firm.

His Highness Shiyasu once told me to find a way to dismantle the Echigo double-headed political alliance.But I tried hard several times, but I couldn't find a breakthrough. The trust between Odaisho and His Highness Uesugi is very deep.

Obviously, Yutai was eager to go back for a few days, and His Highness Uesugi was unwilling to slow down the pace of the Kanto Raiders. There should be sharp conflicts between the two, but they can sympathize with each other.

It is really strange that there can be such a harmonious alliance in the utilitarian military diplomacy. "

In Hojo Huanan's heart, there was actually a vague guess.

Shiba Yoshiyin is handsome and extraordinary, with a peerless elegance.Uesugi Terutora is obedient because of lust.

But she wasn't sure.

Yoshihiro Shiba has a noble temperament and a noble image. He is a peerless beauty that Hojo Genan has only seen in his life.The old nun's heart is as calm as water, and he has a little compassion, and he can't bear to insult the male god.

Ashikaga Yoshiki died just now, and Uesugi Shiba has been in the alliance for two years.If it was really as nasty as she thought, the two's adultery was not a recent incident, and General Ashikaga would be punished. .

Recalling Shiba Yoshigin's pure temperament like a white lotus, one can see his inviolable demeanor from a distance.Hojo Huanan couldn't help shaking his head and laughing at himself, how is this possible, he must be thinking too much.

The Hojo clan government didn't know the speculation in Hojo Genan's mind, and he was focused on the negotiation.This is her best chance to cleanse the stain, so don't miss it.

she said solemnly.

"My aunt thinks that they will choose to be tough to the end and refuse to give in?"

Hojo Huanan sighed.

"The Imperial Palace and His Royal Highness Uesugi have no intention of coveting the territory of the Hojo family for the time being. The Sagami country is far away from the Echigo country. Even if they get some real power, they will not be able to hold it.

Echigo Sagami negotiated a peace agreement, and both parties actually understood it.This is only a short truce, and sooner or later the war will be fought.

The focus of this negotiation is the status of the Guandong leader.

The Kamakura Palace has recognized His Highness Shiyasu and His Highness Uesugi, the two Kanto leaders. In the face of this big issue of right and wrong, neither my family nor the Uesugi family will budge. This is the difficulty of the negotiation. "

Hearing Hojo Genan mention Ashikaga Yoshishi, the Kamakura temple, Hojo Ujimasa's complexion suddenly darkened.

Yoshishi Ashikaga rushed forward in the battle of the Sano leader and led to the collapse of the entire battle.After the war, he took refuge in Uesugi Terutora, which caused the Hojo family to fall into political difficulties.

This former comrade-in-arms was so ruthless that the Hojo clan wished to stab her to death to relieve his hatred.

Hojo Genan has already made it very clear that Shiba Yoshigin and Uesugi Terotora have no interest in the Hojo Territory, because it is too far away from the core area of ​​Echigo to hold it.

The Hojo family survived the collapse period of Sano Ling's defeat, and have escaped the most dangerous stage.This peace negotiation is just a truce, allowing both sides to take a breather for a halftime break.

The Echigo army has to go back and digest the new Ueno state leaders who are close to Echigo. Only when they gain a firm foothold in Ueno state can they further erode the Hojo family's territory in the Musashi Sagami two countries.
