different warring states of japan

Chapter 455
When Naoe Ketsuna came back to his senses and thought about Shiba Yoshigin's proposal carefully, he suddenly felt that it was wonderful.

Tochio Castle is the gateway to Joetsu, stuck in the heart of Chuuetsu.

Yangbeizhong in the north, Ueda Nagao's family in the mountains, Okuma Asohide's troops on the coast, and Hojo Takahiro who was stuck in the Joetsu reinforcements in the south.

If they want to join forces, they must pull out the nail of Tochio Castle, otherwise they will be in danger of being smashed one by one.

Hojo Takahiro defended Hojo Castle to the death in order to block the logistics of the Uesugi reinforcements and force Uesugi Terutora's army to take Hojo Castle first.

And inside and outside Tochio Castle are Sino-Vietnamese samurai families, and their minds are floating, and they will definitely fall before Hojo Castle.

At that time, if Terotora Uesugi wants to march again, he will be attacked by all parties. The power of the upper and lower Vietnam is only less than half of the mobilization force of the Sino-Vietnamese and Lower-Vietnamese alliance, and the conquest will not be easy.

But if Shiba Yoshigin led the cavalry to rush to Tochio Castle and make this city the Imperial Palace of Kanto where the imperial platform is located, then things would be different.

Who dares to fight the residence of Hanoi Genji's descendants in Echigo!Whether it's the Yangbei people or the old ministers in Shangshan, they all have to be scratched.

These guys can pretend not to see Terotora Uesugi entering the Uesugi family in the mountains, but do they dare to deny the Yubai and Yujian of the Ashikaga family?
Echigo's famous and promising samurai family, which one is not the identity of the royal family.

It's okay to do things secretly and forget about the ancestors, but to fight against Hanoi Genji's descendants in public?My brain is broken!

Aren't you afraid that someone will use this as an excuse in the future to bully the weak and seize the family business?
Naoe Ketsuna looked at Shiba Yoshigin with admiration. This young man had the guts to enter Tochio Castle alone, which is really amazing.

Uesugi Terutora pondered for a while, then said.

"feasible.

You can reach Tochio Castle in two or three days with your relatives and horseback riding. My side will meet the Kakizaki Kei family and the Usami Dingman army.

As long as you can delay Yang Beizhong, Okuma Asohide, and Nagao Zhengjing for seven days, I can take Hojo Castle and go to reinforce Tochio Castle. "

Yi Yin thought in his mind, ten days, it is worth a try.

Once Tochio falls, the Echigo rebellion will be difficult to deal with.Wanting to integrate Echigo as soon as possible, only he ventured eastward and defended Tochio Castle.

Yiyin made up his mind and said.

"You transferred Tochio Castle to me, and gave me full authority to command the Chugoshi Kami garrison. I will stabilize the rebels and wait for your arrival."

Uesugi Terutoro signaled Naoe Kanetsugu who was on the side to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and said.

"I'll write you a handwritten letter, and you take me to see Benzhuang Shino.

She is the lord of Tochio, my loyal loyalist, and will definitely support you with all my strength. "

Yiyin nodded and stood up.

"It's not too late, I'll go right away."

Uesugi Terutora said softly.

"Thank you for your hard work. I will break Hojo Castle as soon as possible and go to Tochio Castle to support."

She turned around and shouted.

"Naoe Kanetsugu, you will go to Tochio Castle with Lord Kenshin and lead the way for him. There must be no mistakes!"

Naoe Kanesuke let out a hilarious cry, and has already fetched a pen and paper, a handwritten letter by Terutora Uesugi, dried it, folded it, and handed it to Yoshihiro.

The two lords acted swiftly and resolutely, and Naoe Jingzuna was dazzled by the sight, and the doubts in his mind were getting bigger and bigger.

But Naoe Kanesuke was about to be sent to the Shiba army, and she couldn't find anyone to explain her confusion, so she felt uncomfortable.

Shiba Yoshigin and Uesugi Terutora looked at each other and smiled. They had a tacit understanding in the war, and they were in harmony with each other, which felt good.

The two walked out, Yiyin said with a smile.

"The Spocky Warriors have been resting for half a day and are leaving immediately."

Uesugi Terutora said softly.

"Mr. Qianxin cherishes it."

Yiyin glanced at her and clenched his fists.

"Don't worry, you should be more careful."

When he came to the place where the cavalry was being repaired, Yoshihiro explained the plan to Katsumo Shima, but she objected.

Shimao Katsuki bowed fiercely and apologized.

"Your Highness, I shouldn't have said too much, but the Concentric Congregation has not been properly repaired since they set off from Kyoto.

It's fine if you go all out, take a rest for a long time to let off a burst of momentum, no matter how difficult it is to exert strength under fatigue, it is not conducive to combat. "

Yoshigin was taken aback, looked at Uesugi Terutora beside him, and nodded in approval when he saw her.

Standing in the overall strategic situation, the two lords really hoped to support the front as soon as possible, but they ignored the physical decline of Warrior Ji and the horse.

Yiyin said sincerely.

"Thank you, Shimahime, it's nice to have you here."

Dao Shengmeng's heart felt warm, and he lowered his head and replied.

"My lord praises you, Dao Shengmeng can't do it."

The most important thing is to find a master who suits your temperament when you come out to hang out. Katsushima Shima has a straight temper and doesn't know how to speak euphemistically. He suffered a lot for this in Tsutsui's house.

Now I follow Shiba Yoshiyin, obey what I say, agree with righteousness and reason, and do things really comfortable.

It's a pity that His Highness is already the general's man, and I'm afraid that his love will be hidden deep in his heart, and he will never show it for a moment.

Shima Katsumoto's heart was full of ups and downs, and Yoshigin had already turned around to re-discuss the matter with Uesugi Terotora.

"Sister Uesugi, Shimahime is right.

If the army marches by force, even if Warrior Ji can bear it, the horses have reached their limit. How about resting up overnight and setting off tomorrow?
How far is Tochio Castle from here?How long will it take for our army to arrive with two horses? "

Uesugi Terutora nodded.

"I ignored this, and didn't take into account Warrior Ji's physical strength.

The two horses dispatched troops quickly, and two days were enough to reach Tochio Castle.The rebels should have waited for Yang Beizhong to arrive at Tochio City before besieging the city.

The people in Yangbei are complicated, and the march will not be too fast, and they will not reach Tochio City within five days.

It shouldn't be a problem for the cavalry to rest overnight, or set off tomorrow morning? "

Uesugi Terutora glanced behind Naoe Ketsuna, and she quickly answered.

"I will prepare the place so that Shibaji samurai can rest well.

The food and grass for the army are arranged by the servants, and only a little distribution is needed in the army, which is in line with personal habits. "

She also hoped that the Shiba Cavalry would set off tomorrow, so that she would have time to ask Naoe Kanetsugu what was going on?

The Naoe family is two generations of important ministers of the Uesugi family. Their long-term success is due to their outstanding abilities and their good understanding of Shangyi.

But now, the relationship between Yutaisuo and her own lord makes her very confused. If she doesn't understand this matter, how can she sleep well.

Naoe Jinggang stated his position, and the two governors had no objections, and the matter was settled.

Seeing Nobutsuna Kamizumi approaching, Yoshihiro apologized.

"Shangquan Sword Master, this journey has not been smooth, but you have suffered along with me.

Now that you have arrived in Echigo, what are your plans for the future? "

Nobutsuna Umizumi smiled boldly and answered.

"I just happened to overhear a few adults discussing, His Highness is going to Tochio Castle? Why don't I go with you for a while.

The Sino-Vietnamese war was in turmoil, and the road to Ueno was bound to be blocked.I have nothing to do, so I can go to Tochio Castle with His Highness to have a look. "

Yi Yin smiled.

This old sword master is too good at being a man, he deserves Xinyinliu to flourish.

Echigo country went to Ueno country, went through Chuetsu, and entered West Ueno.

And Echigo guards the gate in the direction of Ueno, Sakado Castle, whose lord Nagao Masakei has rebelled, and this road is definitely broken.

With the chaos of war, the old sword master will not set off for the time being for the sake of safety.That being the case, why not go with Shiba Yoshigin to Tochio Castle and protect him safe.

Kamizumi Nobuzuna went to battle as a young man, and later traveled around the world to practice swordsmanship, and his martial arts are very strong.With her by her side, Yiyin's safety is more guaranteed.

Uesugi Terutoro thanked him beside him.

"The Juggernaut has worked hard, I assure you, in the future when the Xinyinliu comes and expands the way of the sword, I will give my full support."

During this trip on the Hokuriku Road, although Nobuzuna Kamizumi lost three capable disciples, he established a friendship with the two governors of Shiba Shangshan.

Now that things have happened, there is no shortage of one last shudder, so I just do things decently, and give it another go.

Yiyin also said to her with a smile.

"I will write a letter back to Kyoto to explain to the general your intention of safeguarding. The Shiba family territory also welcomes the new Yin Liu to preach the way of the sword."

Kamizumi Nobutsuna was overjoyed, and death was worth it.

Ashikaga Yoshiki's affection for Shiba Yoshigin was clearly seen by the old sword master in Kyoto, and with his approval, Xinyinliu's affection for Shiba Yoshigin became even stronger in the general's heart.

Not to mention that the Shiba family, as the leader of the local power faction in the shogunate, spoke out to defend the Xinyinliu, which would naturally attract the local power faction to look at the Xinyinliu swordsman with admiration.

Nobutsuna Umizumi bowed deeply and thanked him sincerely.

"Thank you two Highnesses for your kindness."

Yiyin smiled and shook his head, expressing a trivial matter.

He deeply admired this sword master, no wonder Xin Yinliu got along like a duck in water, thanks to her ability to be a human being.

Ashikaga Yoshiki loves kendo, and has established three swordsman teachers.

The first is Tsukahara's biography, the second is Nobuzuna Kamiizumi, and the third is Yanagyu Zongyan.

Tsukahara divination came from the Shinto style and from the Xindang style.Umizumi Nobutsuna practiced Yinliu and created Yinliu by himself.

Both of them are outstanding swordsmen, and it stands to reason that Tsukahara Buden should be more famous than Umizumi Nobutsuna.

Xindangliu pays attention to one-hit kills and is good at using real knives, which is even more popular among samurai.

However, Nobuzuna Umizumi advocated bamboo swords and was known for practicing kendo without hurting others, which is not pleasing.

The difference between the ups and downs of kendo between the two sides is the opposite, because Nobuzuna Umizumi is too good at playing.

She knew that Liu Sheng Zongyan was the head of the shogunate, but she took a fancy to his swordsmanship talent, gave her all her money, and supported him as the next swordsmanship teacher.

Ashikaga Yoshiki was happy to let his cronies take over, so the influence of Xinyinliu naturally stayed in the imperial palace.

This time, she tried her best to make friends with the Siba Shangshan family again, and exchanged battles for the favor of the two families, and opened up the influence of Echigo's new dark current in recent days.

Compared to her, Buden Tsukahara will not come to trouble.

Although Ashikaga Yoshiki, Hosokawa Fujitaka and other high-ranking samurai have a relationship with her, Yoshigin has never heard of Hosokawa Fujitaka's help to Xindangyu.

Not to mention that the general has a lot of affairs to deal with every day, so he has no time to meddle in kendo.

The two sword masters had worked as shogunate swordsmanship teachers before and after, but their inheritance and development were very different, which made Yiyin sigh.

People, still have to come up with something.
