different warring states of japan

Chapter 1267 Infatuation and empty hatred

Hojo Shiyasu smiled.

"Uesugi Terotora invaded Kanbashu, why are there so many Kanbashu samurai supporting her?
The Kanbashu samurai family, who had always been proud and xenophobic, surrendered just because Echigo's land turtle inherited the name of the Uesugi family in Yamauchi?

That's because they were afraid, afraid that the Hojo family would swallow them up, and the Guan Yashu samurai family never regarded the Hojo family as their own!
In their view, the Hojo family is an outsider, and the Uesugi family is also an outsider!The best result is that we both lose and they gain!

If I make friends with Terutora Uesugi, maybe even form an alliance.The Satomi family, who has already shown signs of decline, dare to be my enemy?Utsunomiya in Shimono and Satake in Hitachi are willing to honor Uesugi Terutora?

They will be suspicious, alienate Uesugi's family, stand against Uesugi Terutoro, and kick her out of Kanbashu! "

Hojo Shizheng frowned.

"Having said that, Uesugi Terutora should also understand this. She may not be willing to make peace with us, and she is willing to form an alliance with us."

Hojo Shiyasu looked at Hojo Genan with a smile and said.

"It depends on my aunt's ability."

Hojo Huanan said.

"It's all about man's effort, and the harvest is so rich, why not try it?

What Uesugi Terutora is most worried about now is the collapse of the Kanto system, and her position as the leader of the Kanto is unstable.

Followed by Mori Jinghiro, who hates Stable Bridge, and Sano Masatsuna, who leads Sano, rebelled and caused her to be defeated, and blocked her way to the south, making it impossible for the Uesugi family to affect the land of Guanbashu.

Again, it was the refusal of the Kanto servants to shake the dominance of the Uesugi family in the Echigo samurai group.

And our Hojo family is actually not the first trouble she has to consider.

His Highness Shikang said well.

My family is willing to recognize her Kanto system and is willing to be a minister.My family is willing to form an alliance with her, and let her attack the Stable Bridge collar and the Sano collar without any scruples, and get through the influence of the eight states.

We have a lot of chips and a low profile, and she won't be tempted.If she can't get through Tonegawa as soon as possible, the influence of the Uesugi family on Guan Yashu will soon fade.

Even if you know that the Guan Bashu samurai will be dissatisfied, that is for the future.For the Uesugi family, the most important thing now is to return to Kanbashu.

It's just that this matter is really not easy. We need to find a suitable person to convince Terotora Uesugi for us. "

Hojo Shiyasu smiled.

"Does my aunt already have a candidate?"

Hojo Genan bowed.

"I do have some ideas. I want to go to Jinshan Castle, Ueno Kingdom, and talk to Shigeru Yura."

Hojo Ujiyasu and Hojo Ujimasa looked at Hojo Genan together, and listened carefully to what she continued.

"The Yura family is the largest Chinese force in Ueno, and Yura Narushige originally hoped to use the opportunity to expand his territory when Echigo's army went south last time.

But in the end, it turned out that stealing the chicken was not enough to lose the rice, and she didn't get any benefits. It also made Uesugi Terutoro see her bad intentions, which aroused disgust for no reason.

Now, the situation around Jinshan City is very complicated.

In the north, there is Maoli Jingguang, who leads the stable bridge, and Dahu, who leads the island to win fierce confrontation.To the west was the Nishi Ueno turmoil, and Hirai Castle was captured by my family again.

In the east, there was tension between Tatebayashi Castle, controlled by Nagao as head, and Masatsuna Sano, leader of Sano.To the south are Narita Changyasu and Ota Sukmasa, each standing on one side.

Around the Yuliang family, there are people from the Uesugi family, people from my family, neutral factions, and rebel factions.It's like a pile of straw that can be set aflame with a single spark.

Yuliang's family can be regarded as a powerful Ueno country, but in this situation, her family's strength is not enough. She is a stronger ant and may be crushed by changes in the external situation at any time.

Now, no one wants the situation to ease more than Yura Shigeru. "

Hojo Shizheng asked.

"But Aunt Tai, you also said that Uesugi Terutora doesn't want to see Yura Shigeru, how can she help my family persuade Uesugi Terutoro to negotiate peace?"

Hojo Huanan laughed.

"His Royal Highness Shizheng only knows one thing, but not the other.

It's not easy to go from good to good, and his actions are quite similar to Nishi Ueno Nagano Yezheng's methods. "

Hojo Shiyasu smiled.

"That's right, this person understands the marriage strategy very well."

Hojo Genan continued.

"Yura Narushige's husband is from the Tatebayashiro Akai family.

Although the Akai family had been on the wrong team and was wiped out by Terutora Uesugi, Yura Narushige had some influence over Tatebayashi in the name of Akai's daughter-in-law.

Ninjo Narita Nagatasu, who had just left the Uesugi family independently, and her daughter Narita Shigetsu married Yura Narita's son.

The Nagao governor of Ashikaga Castle, who is valued by Uesugi Terutoro, has no daughter under her knees.Yurasari Shigeji married the son of the Nagao family, became the heir, and changed her name to Nagao Kencho. "

Hojo clan government couldn't help sighing.

"Good job.

A husband, a daughter, and a son tied up Tatebayashi, Ninja, Ashikaga, and Yuliang's own territory, which should not be underestimated. "

Hojo Huanan nodded.

"Isn't that right, Yura Chengshige is eager to change the status quo, and also has the influence to change the status quo.

As long as I show my kindness to her, she will definitely contact Tocho Nagao to convey our kindness to Uesugi Terotora.

The Uesugi and Hojo families are fighting each other, and the most bitter are these local Chinese who are caught on the border between the Ueno Musashi and the two countries.

When Nagao Tocho was defeated in Shimosoguo, he sent troops to support Terutora Uesugi's return, which is not a small contribution.

She is an old minister of Uesugi's constitutional government and is loyal.After Uesugi Terotora inherited the Uesugi family in Yamauchi, the Ashikaga Nagao family has always been loyal and courageous, and they are very respected by Uesugi Terutoro.

Nagao now controls Ashikaga Castle and Tatebayashi Castle, and is the front line of our counterattack. She doesn't want the war to continue, does she? "

Hojo Shiyasu clapped his hands in admiration.

"Auntie is easy to calculate.

Then please represent me with plenipotentiary rights, go to Jinshan City, and contact Yura Chengfan.

If you can persuade Yura Narushige and Nagao Dangchang to come forward, there will be hope for this peace negotiation. "

Hojo Huanan kowtowed to the ground and said.

"I will live up to the expectations of the two Highnesses."

Hojo Shiyasu smiled and said a few words of relief, and asked the old man to get up, but Hojo Shizheng was a little distracted.

That brave young man has quelled the recent chaos. Will he really return to Kanto soon?

Imperial Palace. .Great Imperial Palace. .Yes, he died of his wife, I don't know how sad he should be.

How is he now?

---

Numata City, residence hall.

Uesugi Terutora looked unfriendly, and asked Nagao Toonaga who came to see him.

"Are you here as a lobbyist for Yasushi Hojo?"

Changwei Dangchang bowed with a solemn expression on his face.

"The subject is to solve problems for His Highness."

Uesugi Terutora sneered.

"Hojo Shiyasu knows how to behave.

First instigated many powerful warriors to break their promises and cut off my logistics line.Sending troops to the Zongguo again caught me off guard.

Now she wants to be a good person again and bow her head to me?Who does she take me for?Is it an idiot she can fool easily?

I negotiated peace with her today, how will the Guan Bashu Wu family treat me tomorrow?When I first entered Guanbashu, I wanted to set things right and wipe out the Hojo family who caused chaos!
It's good now, let me form an alliance with the Hojo family?Heh, this is trying to trap me in injustice, and make the Guan Bazhou samurai hate me!

Hojo Shiyasu's calculations are too precise! "

Nagao kowtowed to the ground, and greeted Uesugi Terutora's roar like a storm, she knew that this matter was difficult.But for Yura Chengshige and Nagao Dangchang, it is a good thing that must be fought for.

It is difficult to empathize with the emotions between people.Some people are happy, others are naturally worried.

The two females of Uesugi and Hojo fought against each other, and last year they almost broke Ueno Musashi and the two countries.The samurai families on the border between the two countries are especially uncomfortable, suffering unspeakably.

The drought and famine in Kanto were severe last year.And this year's spring rain is also sparse, and it hasn't improved.

As the saying goes, three years of prosperity and three years of disaster.The momentum of this famine cannot be seen for the time being, and the war has caused heavy losses to powerful warriors in places like Nagao Dangchang.

If this battle continues, the Uesugi and Hojo families are strong and may be able to hold on.But the local martial arts between the two families may have to die.

The most important thing is that the two sides fought life and death, and for no reason the local samurai families in Boso Peninsula, Xiaye, and Hitachi saw the joke, and the fisherman benefited.

With Terotora Uesugi attracting firepower in front, the Hojo family no longer cared about encroaching on the territory of these eastern samurai families, and it was tantamount to working for them for nothing.

Terotora Uesugi, as the leader of the Kanto, may have to consider the attitude of these eastern people.

However, as the head of the Ueno local samurai family, Yura Narushige, persuading Uesugi Terutora to make peace with Hojo Ujiyasu, and even form an alliance, is good for them.

As for the dissatisfaction of the people in the East, do their things.

Uesugi Terutoro naturally understood Nagao's small thoughts, but he was unwilling to let go.How could she slap herself in the face after finally establishing her prestige in Guan Bazhou?

The people in the East have benefited, but Uesugi Terutora also has more status to restrict them.It's really hard to say who will take advantage of more in the future.

Changing course at this moment is a strategic defeat for Uesugi Terutoro.Even if he got some benefits from Hojo Shiyasu, it would be difficult to undo the devastating blow to his reputation.

Nagao Dangchang advised.

"His Highness Hojo is willing to submit to you, so naturally he will not continue to obstruct your governance in Guanbazhou.

She will let Mori Jingguang leave Stable Bridge City and go to Hojo's home to serve the public, and the Stable Bridge people are willing to obey your orders.

His Highness Hojo also promised that he would not support the perfidious Sano Masatsuna, and Yura Shigeru and I are willing to mobilize troops to crusade against this traitor. "

Terotora Uesugi looked at Nagao Dōcho with twinkling eyes.

Hojo Shiyasu did put in the capital. She removed Ueno's domestic nails and sold Sano Masaozuna, completely loosening the Tonegawa waterway that Uesugi's family entered into Kanyachi.

Nagao also expressed his attitude as the head of the Ueno local samurai.

As long as Uesugi Terutora doesn't beat Hojo Shiyasu to death and give them a few days to live a good life, they are willing to help subdue the stable bridge crowd, kill Sano Masatsuna, and give Uesugi Terutora an explanation.

As for the Musashi Kingdom and the Shimoso Kingdom, there is no need for the Hojo family to give way, and the Ueno local samurai family has no strength to guarantee anything.

If Terutora Uesugi still has ambitions in a few years, he can fight again.As for now, let everyone take a breather.

In the face of famine, people feel at ease, and everyone is really unwilling to fight.

Nagao Tochang's words were soft and thorny, and the Ueno samurai could hardly stand it anymore. If Uesugi Terutora insisted on going his own way, he might lose the local people's support.

Ueno country is the foothold for the Uesugi family to enter and exit Yashu. If the Ueno samurai family turns against the water, the situation that Terotora Uesugi will face will be more troublesome than it is now.

Is it the kindness of accepting Hojo Ujiyasu's surrender and Nagao as the leader?Or stick to the original Kanto strategy and never back down?
Uesugi Terutora squinted his eyes and didn't speak.

The strategy of Kanto is the goal she and Shiba Yoshiyin worked hard for together, which not only contains her ambition to dominate Kanto, but also her sincere commitment to her sweetheart.

Uesugi Terotora wants to take Kanto as a dowry and propose to Shiba Yoshiyin.

While the monarch and his subjects were silent, the atmosphere gradually became rigid, and there was a knock on the door outside.

"What's up!"

Uesugi Terutoro looked up at the sliding door, only to see that the sliding door was opened slightly, revealing Nakanishi's respectful face.

Uesugi Terutoro's heart skipped a beat, and regardless of Nagao's presence, he hurriedly stood up and walked to the door.

Just as Nakanishi was about to salute, he was stopped by Uesugi Terutora and asked anxiously.

"How's it going?"

Nakanishi answered in a low voice.

"I personally went to the Kai country once, and the Takeda family is very strict with the Yakuzakikan. Especially the child, who is held by His Royal Highness Takeda almost every day."

Teruto Uesugi asked impatiently.

"Speak the key."

Nakanishi glanced at the long tail in the room, then lowered his voice a little.

"According to the investigation, the child was carried back to the Yasaki Pavilion by His Royal Highness Takeda from Junfu Castle. It doesn't seem like he was adopted on the way to speak publicly."

Uesugi Terutoro looked at Nakanishi coldly, Nakanishi was frightened, swallowed his saliva, and continued.

"The information collected from all parties should be personal, and there will be detailed documents to report to you later."

Uesugi Terutora nodded numbly, and then closed the door.

Her heart was filled with sadness, and she didn't even notice the cold sweat on Nakanishi's forehead.

The ninjas are all extremely sensitive intelligence experts, Uesugi Terutora sent Nakanishi to investigate Takeda Harunobu's daughter, how could Nakanishi not be suspicious?
After finding out the approximate month of the child and calculating her birthday, Zhongxi was already scared out of his wits.

Judging from the time of birth, it is speculated that the day of Takeda's pregnancy was around the time of the battle of Kawanakajima, before and after the capture of Odaisho.

A newcomer debuts, wishing to know everything.Only when you become old fritters will you understand, the more you know, the faster you will die.

Terutor Uesugi sent Nakanishi to investigate, but she didn't dare not investigate clearly, and she didn't dare to know the truth, so she came up with a vague story about her own life.

The matter of his own birth was confirmed, and it was Uesugi Terutoro's request to find out.But the real question hidden in the lord's heart, Zhongxi did not dare to reveal it.

She has already given the basis for judgment.For other things, she must run far away and stop getting involved.

At this time, Uesugi Terutoro couldn't care about Nakanishi's small thoughts.Her mind was filled with the despair of having to face reality.

Lick the dog, lick the dog, nothing.

She respected Shibo Yoshiyin like a male god, and she didn't even want to desecrate a single finger of him.But someone committed a heinous crime against her male god.

What made her even more unacceptable was Yoshihiko Shiba's silence.

Why, why didn't you tell me?

You said that we are close people who work together very well.Your affection for me has inspired me to continue advancing the Kanto Raiders.

Uesugi Terutoro looked at Nagao Dōcho, who was sitting there respectfully, and laughed at himself.

The strategy of Kanto that she regards as a treasure is a joke.That being the case. .
