different warring states of japan

Chapter 1222 The situation is not very good

Satomi and the Satake family watched coldly, no longer cooperating with the Uesugi family, and diverted the attention of the Hojo family.The Kanto samurai who were secretly provoked by Hojo Shiyasu also jumped out one by one.

Sano Masatsuna, who was dissatisfied with the loss of Sano Castle, was the first to rebel.Mori Jingguang of Stable Bridge City had secretly communicated with the Hojo family for a long time, but at this time they simply reversed.

Sano Territory is the gateway to Shimono Kingdom, and Stable Bridge Castle is the continuation key point of Ueno Kingdom. The two men reversed and disrupted Uesugi Terutora's logistics supplies in an instant.

There was an accident on the supply line, and the morale of the army was unstable. Terutor Uesugi had no choice but to hurry up and attack.As a result, he stumbled hard at the foot of Usui Castle.

The Guan Yashu samurai clan under Uesugi Terutora's command dispersed in a rush, and Uesugi's army was coerced and retreated.Irobe Katsunaga died on the battlefield after the army was cut off, and Uesugi's army was about to suffer heavy losses.

Katsutoshi Shima, who occupies the collar of Dahu, persuades Okuma Asohide, Honjo Shigecho and others who are dissatisfied with Uesugi Terutoro's Kanto samurai family to join forces with Sanada Nobushige, Kaji Jingzuna and others to go south together.

The Kanto Shiba troops went south to support in large numbers, frightening the grasshoppers who were ready to move and wanted to beat the dogs in the water.

Sano Masatsuna and Mori Jingguang saw that a single spark could not form a prairie fire, so they quickly retreated back to the territory and strictly guarded the door.

With the support of Katsutoshi Shima, Terotora Uesugi finally preserved the vitality of Uesugi's army, returned to the north safely, and withdrew to Ueno.

However, the undefeated image that Terutora Uesugi had painstakingly managed collapsed after she defeated Usui Castle, and the situation in Kanto deteriorated rapidly.

The samurai who had been swinging between the Uesugi Hojo family started to fall to the Hojo family again.

Ota Yasuke of Edo Castle, with the understanding of Hojo Ujiyasu, returned to Hojo's house.

Because of his active support of Uesugi Terutora, Oishi Sadahisa, the lord of Takiyama who was regarded as a thorn in the side by Hojo Ushiyasu, was forced to abdicate and cut his belly, and pulled out the nail that the Echigo coalition forces went straight into Sagami country.

Narita Choyasu, the lord of Ninja Castle who was humiliated by Uesugi Terutoro, took advantage of the situation and no longer accepted the jurisdiction of the Uesugi family, causing commotion among the surrounding samurai families.

Nagano Ye of Nishi Ueno is old and frail, and worried about the inheritance of his family business.An ally called Uesugi, but has always remained neutral, with snakes and rats at both ends.

Yoshigin and Uesugi Terutora teamed up to go south, and lost almost all the territory they had won in the first Kanto Raiders.The only territory Uesugi Terutora can actually control is Numata Territory.

If it weren't for Katsutoshi Shima, leader of the big beard, Nobushige Sanada of Agatsuma County, and Nagao Tokunaga, who governs Ashikaga Castle and Tatebayashi Castle, stood firmly on the side of Echiback, Terutora Uesugi would have suffered a crushing defeat.

Ashikaga Yoshishi and Koda Harusuke of the Furukawa collar have an ambiguous attitude. Hojo Ujiyasu publicly expressed his respect for Ashikaga Yoshishi, the Kwantung general, and the two sides have a political tendency to once again have an affair.

The land of Kanto is in turmoil, and the new Kanto system established by Yoshinshi Shiba and Terotora Uesugi just now shows signs of disintegration.

Katsutoshi Shima's prestige is not enough to control the Kanto Shiba forces, and Terotora Uesugi is decadent because of the defeat, and Echigo's internal chaos gradually.

The distraught Shima Katsuo could only rush to report and notify Shiba Yoshiyin.In her opinion, the Battle of Shangluo has been successful.I also ask the Lord to return to Kanto as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation.

After reading the letter, Yoshihiro Shiba felt a sense of depression in his chest, and couldn't help shouting.

"Uesugi missed me! Uesugi missed me!"

He is in a dilemma in Kyoto, and the Kanto foundation used to deter Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga has changed again, what should we do?
He lost all his chips and couldn't integrate the money of the various families in the shogunate. How could he fight Oda Nobunaga with only a few shiba to get a territory of [-] koku?

In addition, matters in the Kanto region are urgent, and the chain reaction of defeat is intensifying. The originally unstable Echigo duocracy is faintly showing signs of disintegration.

Yoshigin must return to Kanto as soon as possible to re-stabilize the Echigo duopoly and save the new Kanto system he and Terotora Uesugi worked so hard to build.

He couldn't just watch Uesugi Terutora die, with the sword of Damocles hanging over his head.

There is no time limit for system tasks. Even if he can't complete the task, he can't let the task fail and make himself an ugly b.

Thousands of thoughts came to his mind, and Yiyin almost vomited blood.

Why did Terotora Uesugi insist on going his own way and advance the Kanto Raiders alone?Yi Yin already had a glimmer of understanding in his heart, what the hell is a disaster for me!
For the first time, Yiyin hated his own charm, because he is too handsome, he will really do bad things!

Yoshigin knew that Terutora Uesugi wanted to befriend him, but she still couldn't gain the upper hand in the cooperation between the two parties.

Facing Yoshihiro's ambiguity, Uesugi Terutoro has no confidence to force Uesugi Shiba to join him.Yiyin is not in Kanto, and it is her chance to make it big on her own and force Yiyin to compromise and join forces.

Terotora Uesugi had calculated from the beginning that he wanted to launch a new round of Kanto Raiders while Yoshigin was leaving.

Yoshigin was blinded by her swear words, and didn't notice the real longing in Uesugi's heart.

So far, it's too late to regret.

Terutora Uesugi was defeated, and Ujiyasu Hojo gained the upper hand again.The Hojo family will not miss this opportunity, and will definitely launch a new counterattack during the slack time after the autumn harvest.

Yoshigin must return to Kanto before the autumn harvest in order to stabilize the turbulent interior of Echigo, concentrate his strength again, and suppress the Hojo family.

His time was running out, and summer was coming soon.But here in Kyoto, it was still a mess.

Thinking that he had uttered nonsense in front of Oda Nobunaga just now and completely broke with her, Yoshigin wanted to cry.

When Oda Nobunaga opened his mouth to talk about conquest, his mind was full of 9one8, Nanjing, and he cursed first when his mind got hot.It doesn't matter whether the body is an island country or not, the spirit is heavenly.

At this point, even if he wanted to make false claims with Oda Nobunaga, he couldn't do it.

With Oda Nobunaga's temperament, even if he takes off his clothes and sleeps with her at this moment, it will only make her humiliate and suppress herself even more.If you can't be a partner, you can only be a slave in the future.

Yoshigin didn't really want to cooperate with Oda Nobunaga, but just wanted to temporarily stabilize the relationship and go to Kanto.Oda Nobunaga is not a fool, Yoshihiro is arrogant and respectful, she will definitely notice something is wrong.

Kanto has undergone major changes, and the news cannot be kept secret for long.When Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga got the Kanto information, it was time for them to really attack.

Yiyin thought so hard that his teeth became sour and his brows were frowning, but there was nothing he could do.

He glanced at the embarrassed Fujibayashi Muku in front of him, and he didn't want to embarrass the poor man who had just lost his sister, and sighed.

"You go down."

Fujibayashi Sku quickly bowed and resigned, leaving only Yiyin tangled in the room.

Do you want to ask Akechi Mitsuhide to come over and ask?Yi Yin had this thought in his heart.

He shook his head, dismissing the strange thought.

I don't know if it was because he was too close to Mitsuhide Akechi after he came back for a few days.Whenever he encounters difficulties, he can't help but think of this poisonous man full of tricks.

Yoshigin has been suppressing this idea, because Akechi Mitsuhide is the real murderer of Ashikaga Yoshiki!Yiyin has already broken off her relationship with her, and will not use her again!
---

Oda Nobunaga invited Shiba Yoshigin to go to Tofuku Temple for a meeting, which scared Ashikaga Yoshiaki of the Nijo Imperial Palace.

Seeing that the Shiba and Oda families were moving towards unity, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.Shiba Yoshigin left Tofukuji quickly, and Oda Nobunaga immediately applied to see the general.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was overjoyed, summoned Ise Sadakyo to sit with him, and met Oda Nobunaga who asked to enter.The two parties made a false show of affection, and said some nonsense that they hadn't seen each other for a long time and were in good health.

Oda Nobunaga changed the subject and said.

"Master Gongfang is honored as a great treasure and honored by the south. The shogunate is stable and the world is peaceful, which is really the blessing of the Wu family.

It is an honor for the Oda family to participate in Shangluo and serve you. "

Yoshiaki Ashikaga laughed.

"It's all thanks to the kindness of the Great Royal Tower, you wait for the loyal people to use your life."

No matter what Yoshiaki Ashikaga thinks in his heart, at this moment, all the golden seals of her imperial sword come from Yoshihiko Shiba wearing them for her, and I can only admit that Yoshihiro Shiba has recreated her kindly.

When she mentioned Shiba Yoshihiro here, she meant to test the inside story of Shiba Oda's meeting at Tofukuji Temple.Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't help but wonder, the two of them fell apart so soon?God takes care of me so much?

Oda Nobunaga's little thoughts about her are very clear, he bowed and smiled.

"Dayutaisuo is a noble and pure man with a strategy in mind. How can I be compared with Dayutaisuo, a utilitarian from the small feudal clan of the Oda region?

Mr. Gongfang praised it absurdly. "

Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Ise Sadako exchanged a look, and couldn't help being ecstatic, Shiba Yoshigin and Oda Nobunaga really fell apart!

Shiba Yoshigin is too arrogant, he has clearly sensed that the shogunate has bad intentions for him, and he still refuses to lower his proud head and make friends with Oda Nobunaga, it is extremely stupid.

Ise Zhenjiao stepped out and bowed, and said.

"Master Gongfang, His Highness Oda has been busy running around in Shangluo for you, and he has worked hard.

The Odaisho has great kindness to the shogunate, and you will remember it in your heart.But you can't favor one person over another, and despise meritorious ministers. "

Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Ise Sadako don't know that Shiba Yoshigin and Oda have completely broken.

They only thought that Oda Nobunaga came to Nijo Imperial Palace to see him because the two did not agree.On the one hand, it is to bargain, and on the other hand, it is to put pressure on Shibo Yoshihiro.

Ise Sadakyo stood up very simply, seemingly complaining for Oda Nobunaga, but in fact, he made Ashikaga Yoshiaki think clearly and offered Oda Nobunaga a high price.

Oda Nobunaga glanced at Ise Chakyo, and couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart.She has made it very clear that the rumors about the castle town came from Ise Sadao.

But at this time, she is also unwilling to expose the truth of her break with Yoshihiko Shiba.Let the shogunate misunderstand and give yourself a little more benefit, why not do it?

Ashikaga Yoshiaki understood what Ise Sadako meant and nodded.

"His Highness Oda's contribution, I have always kept it in my heart. I just don't know what kind of reward can match the great contribution of the Oda family?"

Ise Zhenjiao laughed.

"I have some ideas."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga looked at the old fox of the shogunate to see what kind of conditions she was going to offer for the shogunate.

Ise Zhenjiao said.

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, these years the shogunate has declined, and its appeal to the world's martial arts has become weaker and weaker.

I thought about it, this is because the three leaders were defeated and unable to assist the general and the shogunate.

Today, there is His Highness Oda, who is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, and has a magnificent family business.I implore the general to be exceptionally promoted, and to introduce loyal ministers and righteous men into the shogunate to assist you in managing the shogunate. "

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was stunned for a moment, Oda Nobunaga's heart moved, this condition is unusual.

Since the establishment of the Ashikaga Shogunate, most of the political struggles have revolved around the Ashikaga General and the Sanguanling.Only the famous mountain masters in the Sixth Palace of the Western Kingdom had exceptions, which were short-lived.

Everything has two sides, good and bad.

Sanguanling, Hosokawa, Shiba, and Hatakeyama are all nobles second only to the Ashikaga family, and they are powerful.

On the one hand, they competed with General Ashikaga for the dominance of the shogunate, and on the other hand, they also helped the shogunate maintain its dignity, so that samurai all over the world dare not underestimate the strength of the shogunate.

However, with the successive decline of the three leading families, the strength of the shogunate gradually could not hold back the feudal vassals in the world.

Even in the end, the nearest place that the shogunate regarded as a taboo became a battleground for two powerful vassals, Miyoshi Changqing and Liujiao Dinglai.

Oda Nobunaga sits on the side of Kyoto with two million stones.According to Ise Sadakyo, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is no match for Oda Nobunaga.

Since you can't beat it, why not invite Oda Nobunaga to join.Give her the power to manage the shogunate, analogous to the functions of the three leaders, assisting Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki's power has been restricted, from the perspective of the entire shogunate, this deal is not a loss.

This reason is the same as when Miyoshi Changqing went to Luo, the vassals waited and watched and refused to fully cooperate with Ashikaga Yoshiki to stop Miyoshi Changqing.

The Oda family is powerful, and with Oda Nobunaga, the shogunate's influence will be much stronger than it is now, and they, the shogunate ministers, can also enjoy a stable meal.

Weighing the pros and cons, the cooperation between the two parties is also a win-win situation for Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was somewhat dissatisfied that his power was touched by Oda Nobunaga, and Oda Nobunaga may not be willing to submit to this incompetent general.

But both sides were silent at this time, both of them meant to acquiesce to Ise Zhenjiao's proposal.Because they have a common trouble, Yoshihiko Shiba.

Although, there will definitely be friction and conflict between the two sides in the future.But now, it is not unacceptable to work together to get rid of Yoshihiko Shiba first.

Yoshiaki Ashikaga frowned.

"The family style of the Oda family seems to be somewhat..."

She didn't say mean, but that's what she meant.With her family background, what she cares most about is order.

Oda Nobunaga seemed to glance at Ashikaga Yoshiaki inadvertently, recalling the unhappiness at the succession ceremony, he sneered in his heart.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki is a really stupid guy to talk about politics based on his background.

Ise Sadakyo cursed in his heart, Oda Nobunaga is here, Ashikaga Yoshiaki doesn't know how to cover it up?What's the difference between that and pointing your nose at a bitch?silly b!

If it weren't for the desperation, Ise Zhenjiao would really not want to be with a fool like Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

But at this time, she had to be patient and speak out her thoughts.

"The Oda family was born as the head of the Shiba family. His Highness Oda can serve the shogunate as a deputy in charge."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded, Oda Nobunaga's eyes flashed a hint of amusement.The method of Ise Zhenjiao is a typical shogunate.

Knowing the rules and being flexible, she is indeed an old bureaucrat who has been immersed in the shogunate politics for decades. She is proficient in following the procedures and can always justify herself.
