Chapter 2039: Unity of the Kanto People

Uesugi Kenshin was obviously irritated by Takeda Shingen's constant provocations.

If the reform and innovation made the Sōma family the true masters of the world, which was something that all the God-descended families welcomed, then the reorganization of the kindergarten by the Blue Clothes touched the sensitive nerves of the Mother of God-descended Family.

During the hundred years of turbulent times, it was common for mothers and daughters to kill each other and for sisters to quarrel with each other. The blood ties of the Wu family had become extremely cold.

A saint requires his offspring to be at his side, but they can easily be judged as hostages by the martial arts world.

  Although the emotional bond between a saint, the mother of a descendant of God, and her descendants of God is not as cold-blooded as that of an ordinary martial artist, human nature can never withstand temptation. Which mother would not think too much?

Maeda Yoshitsugu couldn't help but object in front of the saint, let alone Uesugi Kenshin whose daughter was already five years old.

This has been what has been bothering Kenshin Uesugi recently. Now that Takeda Shingen has deliberately pointed this out, he is immediately furious.

Takeda Yoshinobu has been staying in the Doshin Group since he was a child. That's because his mother didn't care about anything and had to let the child stay away from her own territory and be protected by others.

  But it is different for Uesugi Miyuki. She is the apple of Kenshin Uesugi's eye. He is afraid that she will melt if he holds her in his mouth, and afraid that she will fall if he holds her in his hands. How could he be willing to let his child travel far away from home at an early age?

Faced with Uesugi Kenshin's anger that was no longer concealed, Takeda Shingen just smiled slightly, feeling secretly happy.

Takeda Shingen had a very high opinion of himself, so he naturally looked down on Uesugi Kenshin's style of relying on military strategies to rush into things.

Takeda's strategy is like water. He always emphasizes winning outside the battlefield, so fighting is a natural outcome.

However, the strategy she was proud of was suppressed by Kenshin Uesugi, a Valkyrie on the battlefield who relied on her military talent.

The instigation of rebellion in Echigo and the attempts to sow discord in Echizen were ultimately shattered in the Battle of Kawanakajima.

After all, no matter how smart you are or how many calculations you make, it will all be in vain if you can't kill your opponent.

Although the factor of Yoshikane Sasaki was involved, Uesugi Kenshin's own excellent military qualities and the powerful female samurai group in Echigo have always been a nightmare that Takeda Shingen could not get rid of.

Times have changed, and now both parties are guests of the saint's couch, but Takeda Shingen still feels uncomfortable when he thinks about having to bow down to this reckless woman with a brain full of quickies.

This provocation made Uesugi Kenshin so angry that he was fuming, but Takeda Shingen was secretly very happy. He felt relieved and was finally able to calmly state the real purpose of his visit.

Takeda Shingen pretended to be surprised.

  "Why is Lord Qianxin angry?

I once heard an interesting saying from the southern barbarians: If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

Shenxue is the hope of the world, so she should go to the saint to receive education early, so that she can inherit the saint's expectations and achieve her ambitions in the future."

Although Takeda Shingen's words were obscure, the meaning behind them was bold. He was almost saying that Uesugi Miyuki would inherit the Shiba world in the future.

When Kenshin Uesugi heard this, his anger froze. Hojo Ujimasa, who was standing next to him, had a gleam in his eyes and frowned slightly as he pondered the card that Takeda Shingen had revealed.

The two men looked at Takeda Shingen in silence. No one dared to believe that this cunning tigress would suddenly change her temperament and become straightforward.

Takeda Shingen remained calm and continued his performance, sighing.

"We come and go in a hurry, and only on the battlefield, between life and death, can we meet again.

I have recalled it countless times in my dreams. I miss the days when the Kwantung Army fought side by side with Oda. I hate the lukewarm peace now. "

Uesugi Kenshin and Hojo Ujimasa both cursed in their hearts, "What a bullshit. You, Takeda Shingen, did not lead the troops to participate in the Sasaki-Oda War. It would be more appropriate if Sanada Nobufusa said this."

But at this critical moment of political statement, no one cares about the truth or falsehood.

Uesugi Kenshin snorted and asked tentatively.

"So Lord Shingen came here to reminisce the past with us?" Takeda Shingen said seriously.

"Lord Qianxin is joking.

The samurai shogunate originated in Kanto, and the samurai empire was conquered by us, the people of Kanto. To this day, the Kanto samurai are still the most steadfast followers of the saint.

What do those treacherous people in Guanxi know about the righteousness of the military family? If they have the final say in the world, I think it will be a disaster.

Uesugi Miyuki is the first divine offspring bestowed by the sage, and can be considered the eldest legitimate daughter. If anyone says that she is not qualified to inherit the sage's ambitions, I, Takeda Shingen, will be the first to disagree.

Shenxue is not worthy, who else in the world is qualified?"

Takeda Shingen's words were so flattering that Uesugi Kenxin was overjoyed.

If such compliments came from one or two lucky ministers, Uesugi Kenshin would not even blink.

But the person who said this was Takeda Shingen, the boss of one of the three most powerful clans in Kanto, the Tiger of Kai who had fought with Uesugi Kenshin for half his life.

The compliment from a powerful opponent made Kenshin Uesugi curl up the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

  It’s so cool. It’s so fucking cool!

But even though he felt happy, Uesugi Kenshin's fear of Takeda Shingen had not been reduced much, and he remained cautious.

"Thunder, lightning and rain are all from the grace of the emperor. Whether you are qualified or not is not up to you or me. It depends on the will of the saint.

Besides, the saint didn't say that my Shenxue was not qualified, so who dares to speak on his behalf?"

The respectful words were only half said when the Echigo Dragon once again raised its proud little tail, with a sense of pride that was unquestionably its own.

The emperor's majesty is as vast as the sea. Nowadays, the only person who dares to speak of the saint so casually is probably the reckless woman Uesugi Kenshin, right?

Hojo Ujimasa watched the performance of Uesugi and Takeda without any expression, and two words came to his mind: fight for the throne.

In Kanto, there were rivalries among various warlords, above Kanto there was the dispute between Kanto and Kansai, and outside Kanto and Kansai there were conflicts between the central government and local governments.

But all these problems combined are not as important as the fight for the throne.

To whom will the saint's cause be eventually passed on? Who will be the future second-generation general of the Sasaki world? As more than a dozen women of divine descent are born one by one, these have become core topics that cannot be avoided in military politics.

Even if Kenshin Uesugi and Shingen Takeda had irreconcilable personal grudges and blood feuds, as long as Shingen Takeda was willing to bow his head in the matter of the throne, Kenshin Uesugi would tolerate her and treat her as an ally.

However, Hojo Ujimasa immediately felt uneasy.

The Takeda family has clearly stated that they have given up on the fight for the throne. The Uesugi and Takeda sisters are reconciled, but what about the Hojo family?

Originally, because of the tragedy in Yantian Castle, the two women of Uesugi and Hojo had no basis for their resentment towards Takeda Shingen.

  Will Uesugi and Takeda unite to target Hojo in the future?

Hojo Ujimasa's worries were not groundless. At this moment, Takeda Shingen changed the subject and brought the topic to Hojo Ujimasa.

"My Yoshinobu is three years older than me, and was randomly appointed as the leader of the Blue Clothes by Ii Naomasa, but he just lived a shabby life.

When Miyuki goes to Kinki, the two of them can be good companions, so Yoshinobu and Miyuki can get to know each other better. We people from Kanto must unite and cannot let those people from Kansai make a fool of ourselves.

Your Highness, Hojo, do you think this is the truth?"
