Chapter 1265 Raiders of West Ueno

Terutora Uesugi regretted a bit, did he give away too much power in order to hold Shiba Yoshiyin back?
The Kanto Servant, which emerged under the Echigo duopoly, has gradually become a new force that hinders Uesugi Terutora.Especially after her defeat, the internal conflicts of the Echigo Samurai Group intensified again.

She also remembered what Minister Seiko said, and remembered that during the Kawanakajima battle, Shiba Yoshigin was likely to be given by Takeda Harunobu, a beast. .

Why?why don't you tell meYoshihiko Shiba!why don't you tell me!
I have deep affection for you, and I am willing to share everything with you, but you are vague about everything, how many things are you hiding from me?
Yoshihiko Shiba!

Uesugi Terutora's eyes flickered with crystals, and she took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions.

Then, she said to Banner in a deep voice.

"Let Naoe Kanetsugu wait for me in the chamber."

"Hi!"

---

In the Numata City Council Hall, Naoe Kanetsugu respectfully saluted Uesugi Terotora who came in.

Terutora Uesugi took the main seat, waved his hand and said.

"No need to be formal, Naoe Hime, why are you here? Did something happen to Naoe Boss?"

Naoe Kanetsugu did not go around in circles, and said solemnly.

"Master, Nagano Karmasa is dead."

"what!"

Uesugi Terutora's complexion changed drastically, and he asked.

"How did he die? When?"

Naoe Kanetsugu replied.

"I heard that I fell ill in the depths of winter, and I will die when I fight hard until the beginning of spring. I didn't survive until summer."

Didn't make it to summer?Dead for a month?Or two months?or longer?
Uesugi Terutora looked sternly.

"Why didn't I get the news?"

Naoe Kanesuke frowned.

"It was Nagano Yamasa who blocked the news himself.

You also know that Sanada Nobushige of Agatsuma County has been making trouble for her, and even took in Nobata Nobusada, who was expelled by Nagano Karsho, through the Odai Office and the Kanto Service Office.

Nagano Yezheng was very old, and the old man became seriously ill every time he fell ill, and even gods couldn't save him when his lifespan came to an end.She didn't dare to leak the news, she kept it tight.

We didn't hear anything about it, but Xiaoban Xinzhen was very worried about her, and he was the former governor of Xiaoban's family in Guofeng City. Although he was expelled by Nagano Yezheng, the news was still very well informed.

As soon as Nagano Yezheng died, Agatsuma County made moves.Sanada Nobushige led a hundred elite Sanadas to secretly go south to help Xiaoban Nobuzhen return to Guofeng City.

The gate of Guofeng City was opened from the inside, and Xiaoban's house changed owners overnight.Kobata Jingding, who was supported by Nagano Yezheng, had the whole family slaughtered by Kobata Nobusada, including Nagano Yezheng's second son. "

Uesugi Terutora narrowed his eyes and said.

"It's a good method, cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots, it also cuts off one's own escape route, and makes Sanada Nobushige feel at ease."

Nagano Ye is marrying off more than a dozen sons, and his daughters-in-law are all over the powerful Ji samurai, and Kobata Nobuzhen is her eldest daughter-in-law.

After Kobata Nobusada was expelled, Nagano Yezheng supported the second daughter-in-law, Kobata Jing, a branch of Kobata's family in Guofeng City, to take the position.

Kobata Nobusada came back this time with the help of Sanada Nobushige, and directly killed Kobata Kageding's family, even the second son of Nagano Karsho, this is a tribute.

Cutting off the retreat of harmony with the Nagano family is to give Sanada Nobushige a reassurance and to conspire with Nishi Ueno.

Uesugi Terutora asked.

"I haven't even heard from Nishi Ueno, how do you know?"

Naoe Kanezha said.

"Nobushige Sanada acted too quickly, let alone us, Katsuo Shima probably didn't know that this daring guy was attacking the land of Nishi Ueno.

Nagano Yasho's daughter, Nagano Yasho was caught off guard by the raid. She was just about to gather the Minowa crowd to fight against Sanada Nobushige when something happened on the southern front.

The Hojo family got the news from nowhere, and went north to Hirai Castle to persuade the defenders to surrender, and took back Hirai Castle, which was robbed by Nagano Yasho.

The Nagano family was in chaos because of the news, and everyone in Minlun saw the internal and external troubles of the Nagano family, and they all started to sit on the fence.Nagano Yesheng had almost no soldiers to adjust, and was directly surrounded by Sanada Nobushige in Minowa Castle.

Xiao Banxinzhen's internal response deceived and opened the gate of the city, and Minlun City, with its high mountains and thick walls, was so disobedient that it was defeated without a fight.Nagano Yesheng is ready to commit seppuku in the residence to avoid humiliation.

Seeing that the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, Nobuzuna Kamiizumi, who was retiring in Minowa Castle, pasted the certificate of thanks you and Oodai gave her on the white banner, and blocked the door of Nagano Yemori's residence one by one with the banner behind it.

The Sword Master of Umizumi traveled through Hokuriku Road along with you and Oyutai back then, and he has the friendship of comrades.Nobushige Sanada dared not do anything, no matter how courageous he was, the two sides were at a stalemate.

While blocking the door, the Sword Saint sent people to send messages to Echigo Kasugayama Castle and Ueno National University Hucheng early on, asking for help from Honjo Minano and Shima Katsumo.

She said that she would use the kindness she made with the two Highnesses back then in exchange for Nagano Yesheng's way of life.

Master Honjo did not dare to slack off, so he asked me to come to Numata City quickly and report this matter to you. "

Uesugi Terutora nodded and said.

"Nobushige Sanada is clever, and Nobutsuna Kamiizumi is affectionate and righteous."

It is by no means a coincidence that the Hojo family suddenly went north, took Hirai Castle, and paralyzed the Nagano family.

Nobushige Sanada was so courageous that he dared to report to Yasushi Hojo and lure foreign enemies into the invasion, which made Uesugi Terotora very annoyed.

Nagano Ye is able to be called a female in Nishi Ueno, because most of the powerful warriors among the Minawa are her daughter-in-law.

These people admire Nagano Yezheng's ability, and they are even less willing to betray their in-laws.Therefore, the unity of the Minoru people far exceeds that of ordinary Chinese people, making it difficult for outsiders to intervene in the land of Nishi Ueno.

However, Nagano Yezheng's expulsion of his eldest daughter-in-law, Kobata Nobusada, has shaken the unity of these in-laws.After her death, how could the daughter-in-laws be willing to obey a young Nagano Yesheng?

In addition, the Hojo family went north and recaptured Hirai Castle, the former residence of the Uesugi family in Yamauchi, which made the princesses even more afraid that they would be buried with the declining Nagano family.

Before the situation is clear, no one wants to waste their own strength for nothing.

Kohata's family in Kunimine City and Nagano's family in Minawa Castle are both strong and powerful in Nishi Ueno, and Nagano Yezheng's actions are not kind, and it is justifiable for Kohata Nobusada to come back again.

The Nishi Ueno Samurai family didn't want to get involved in the infighting between these two families, so they just stood by and watched as the old-fashioned Nobata Nobusada slapped the immature Nagano Yemori.

The intervention of Sanada and the Hojo family made the situation in Nishi Ueno extremely chaotic.All families are watching the situation and standing still.

Uesugi Terutoro couldn't help but sigh a little, Nagano Karmasa is also considered a hero.But as soon as she died, her daughter would be reduced to relying on an old woman to block the door to save her life, so that she could survive, which is really a shame.

The Wu family's fortune is like a shooting star, with sudden ups and downs, which is really embarrassing.

Naoe Kanetsugu held a letter with both hands and said.

"Master, this is a request for help sent by the Sword Master of Shangquan to Chunri Mountain City. I was actually ordered by the Master to bring it and forward it to the Lord."

Uesugi Terotora took the letter, put it on the copybook beside him, tapped the letter with his fingers, and began to think.

Naoe Kanetsugu did not dare to interrupt, and respectfully waited for the Lord's ruling.

West Ueno has many mountains and little land. Although the land is not fertile, it still has the mobilization force of [-] shi.Moreover, the terrain is condescending, overlooking the Kanto Plain, and it is a battleground for military strategists.

Minowa Castle is located south of Haruna Mountain, suppressing Shirai Castle and Stable Bridge Castle to the east, threatening the water transport of the Tone River.

Guofeng City is in the middle, and Xiangxika guards the Usui Pass, blocking the passage from Shinano Kingdom to Ueno Kingdom.

Hirai Castle is in the south, and it is the only place to pass through to connect the mountains of Ueno Musashi and the two countries.

Nagano Yezheng had already controlled these three cities, and guarded the land of West Ueno like an iron barrel.

But as soon as she died, all the three cities fell, and her daughter was trapped in the residence hall of Minowa Castle, and she could only rely on Nobuzuna Kamizumi to hold on for a while.

If it was Terutora Uesugi before, he might acquiesce to Nobushige Sanada to swallow the land of Nishi Ueno and strengthen the power of the Echigo Samurai Group.

But the defeat of Shimosongguo this time made Uesugi Terotora feel more and more constrained by the Kanto Servant.

After Minister Ishi revealed that Takeda Harunobu had smeared Shiba Yoshigin's daughter, Uesugi suddenly discovered that Shiba Yoshigin was not honest with him, and his love was too wishful thinking.

Her mind changed unconsciously, and her vigilance towards the Kanto Office made her unwilling to let Nobushige Sanada swallow the land of Nishi Ueno.

But the current situation in Kanto is that the two families of Uesugi and Hojo are fighting against each other.Uesugi Terutora is really not good and directly reprimanded Nobushige Sanada for withdrawing his skills and giving up the fat of Nishi Ueno.

With Nobushige Sanada withdrawing, the people of Nishi Ueno may fall to the Hojo family, which is even more troublesome.

Externally, the Hojo family is aggressive, while internally, Sanada Nobushige and other samurai of the Kanto servants are ready to move, Uesugi Terotora is very embarrassed.

She glanced at Naoe Kanetsugu and asked.

"Nobuzuna Umizumi also sent a letter to Dahucheng? What does Shimao Katsuo say?"

Naoe Kanesuke shook his head and said.

"I dared to come here in a hurry. I don't know how Master Shimakatsu will make a decision. But I think she will delay this matter."

"Oh why?"

Naoe Kanetsugu looked up at Uesugi Teruta, and whispered.

"Not long ago, Master Shimakatsumo sent a letter to Jinji via the Hokuriku Road trade route.

I invited the messenger to have a drink in private, and took the details of the dish.Shimao Shengmeng seems to hope that Odaisho can quickly return to Kanto and preside over the overall situation. "

Uesugi Terutora opened his eyes wide, nodded slightly, and murmured.

"Yeah, I should have thought of it, Shimao Katsuo will definitely write."

Teruto Uesugi was very upset, she found that she was full of sincerity and enthusiasm, but she had never really penetrated into the mind of her sweetheart, she was a little sad and a little chilling.

Takeda Harunobu's birth of a daughter was a thorn in her heart.But she didn't know how to ask Yoshihiro Shiba, she didn't want to know the answer that would break her heart from her sweetheart.

The Kanto Office obviously had no confidence in Terotora Uesugi, so they secretly wrote to Yoshihiro Shiba, urging him to come back so that everyone could have a backbone.

Uesugi Terutoro was very conflicted in his heart.

When Yoshihiko Shiba came back this time, the Kanto Office must not take himself seriously. This institution has become a country within a country in the Kanto system, which makes Terotora Uesugi feel threatened.

Originally thinking that Uesugi Shiba would join forces, and the Kanto Office would not be a problem.Now it seems that she is too confident.

This time Shimosongguo was defeated, and many potential conflicts were brought to the fore, which made Terotora Uesugi restless and fearful.

But if the sweetheart can come back earlier, how could Uesugi Terutoro be unwilling?She still has something to ask, and something she wants to find an answer to.

Uesugi Terutora shook his head, let go of his worries, and said.

"Let Kenshin take care of these mountain monkeys, and I will write a letter to Sanada Nobushige, asking her to guarantee the safety of Kamizumi Sword Master.

As for how Nagano Yesheng should deal with it, heh, it's up to her to think about it herself, how to explain to Mr. Kenshin. "

Naoe Kanetsugu had a vague feeling that the lord's attitude was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Every time the lord addressed Kenshin, there was a hint of tenderness in his tone.But today, it seemed to be icy and unnervingly cold.

Naoe's family made too much money on the Hokuriku Road trade route, and they were too deeply involved with Shiba's family.

If there is a crisis in Echigo's duopolitical politics, the Naoe family must bear the brunt of the misfortune. If the two ends are not human, life will not be easy.

Naoe Kanetsugu felt restless, but he didn't dare to reveal anything on his face, and he bowed down to accept his orders.

---

Sanada Nobushige, who completely occupied Minowa Castle and almost perfectly invaded the land of Nishi Ueno, was devastated at this time.

She looked at Nagano Yemori's residence on the Ninomaru city wall, and could vaguely see the old woman standing in front of the threshold.

Nezu Sadamori came up and bowed beside her, Sanada Nobushige asked.

"what happened again?"

Nezu Sadamori laughed twice and said.

"Shangquan Juggernaut said he was a little tired, and asked to bring her a pot of water and a horse to sit on."

Someone on the side gave a snort and couldn't help laughing out loud.Nobushige Sanada glared over there and said angrily.

"Laugh! Do you want to prepare another quilt for her? Make two bowls of rice?
This old woman is really troublesome. The old lady was blocked by her for three days and did not dare to attack. "

Nezu Sadamori smiled helplessly, while Unano Toshiichi said calmly.

"There is water and food in the residence hall, and there is no shortage of supplies for the time being. Nobuzuna Kamiizumi is not wanting something, but testing our determination.

After all, she was old, and she stayed up for three days and nights to guard the gate. Even if she had food and drink, she couldn't last long. "

Nobushige Sanada turned around and ordered.

"Cheer up! When this old woman can't stand it any longer, we'll go in!

Remember, don't ruin the old woman's life!

She has all the friendship with Da Yutai, if I accidentally kill her, I will be unlucky, and you don't want to pass the test peacefully!

You have to give me a back! "

All the concubines cheered and bowed to obey the order.

Ever since he cut Yuo Yukoshi's family, Sanada Nobushige's control over the wives has finally stabilized.

Whether it is Nishi Azuma's Shino clan, or Dong Azuma's Saito surrender, they are all convinced by this young new lord.

In this Nishi Ueno strategy, the [-]-stone body of Agatsuma County dared to swallow the [-]-stone Nishi Ueno.No matter how much territory can be won, it is enough for each family in Azuma County to share a piece of fat.

Sanada Nobushige's prestige is getting higher and higher, gradually becoming a climate, and the concubines are convinced, and they must obey.

Uno Toshiichi looked at the residence in the distance, and said suddenly.

"Not right."

Nobushige Sanada looked back at her and asked.

"Liu Niang feels something is wrong?"

Uno Toshiichi pointed to the residence hall and said.

"Shangquan Sword Master is known as Ueno Ichigun, and she was also a general who fought in all directions. How could she stand in a lonely city and wait for defeat silently?
If there is no backer, she will definitely fight hard and lead Nagano Yesheng to break through.

But her current appearance is more like delaying time, and she even has the mind to test our reaction. "
