different warring states of japan

Chapter 462 Decision
Outside Hojo Castle, Uesugi Terutora Honjin Shogunate.

Uesugi Terutora looked down at his left hand, rubbed his thumb and index finger, and listened to Kakizaki Keika and Usami Sadamit's presentation of the military situation.

After they finished speaking, they looked up at the two of them and cursed.

"Because Takahiro Hojo doesn't come out behind closed doors, so you just wait here obediently?
Kakizaki Keiya!China and Vietnam are in crisis, you are still wasting time, have your brain been eaten by dogs! "

The Kakizaki Jing family was young and energetic, and was ashamed of being scolded by the lord, and his pretty face flushed red.Usami Dingman on the side felt even more uneasy.

The Kakizaki Jing family is Uesugi Terutora's confidant general, holding the standing army of Uesugi.

It is a privilege for a trusted friend to be scolded.The lord has anger in his heart, and it will be fine if he scolds, and it will not affect the future.

Usami Dingman, who also made the same mistake, was ignored. This is a dangerous signal.

She took the initiative to step forward, bowed deeply and pleaded guilty to the lord.

"Your Highness, I asked Master Kakizaki to give me a few days to persuade the samurai family in the city to return to their lost ways.

Beitiao City is not a small village, and it is difficult to quickly fall into the city under a strong attack, which damages the morale of the troops.

Even if Takahiro Hojo is hot-headed, the samurai under his command may not be of one mind with her.

If the persuasion is effective, there will be less resistance in the subsequent siege and more internal response, which will be beneficial and harmless. "

Uesugi Terutora glanced at her and said.

"Forget it, you responded in a timely manner. You sent troops quickly after the spring plowing. There is no merit or demerit. I am too strict in my requirements."

Seeing that Uesugi Terutora no longer pursued it, Usami Dingman was relieved.

she asked cautiously.

"Your Highness, shall I continue to persuade the Wu family in the city to surrender?"

Uesugi Terutora smiled coldly and said.

"Persuade, why not persuade, you can do it yourself."

Usami was stunned on the spot, only feeling the murderous look in the master's tone, unable to figure out whether the words were sincere or joking, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Terutora Uesugi ignored her and turned to Kakizaki Keiko's family.

"I brought the gold diggers and surrounded Beitiao City, cut off the water source, dug tunnels, and built earth barriers.

I don't care what method you use, take the city in five days, if you can't do it, go home and nurse your child! "

The corner of Kakizaki Jing's mouth twitched, and he said harshly.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, if you can't take it down within three days, I will make atonement in front of you."

There are many gold and silver mines in Echigo, and Terotora Uesugi has a lot of gold nuggets in the mines. This time he brought some, all of them are good at digging holes and filling mountains.

Although Beitiao City is not a small village, it is not a strong city either. It is really possible to attack at any cost and take it down.

Usami felt a chill in her heart, and she couldn't understand more, she asked cautiously.

"Your Highness, you want to attack the city, so what about persuading you to surrender..."

Uesugi Terutora replied coldly.

"It's up to you to try to persuade you to surrender, and the siege doesn't hinder your work.

Use your connections to tell Hojo Takahiro and her bastards to surrender as soon as possible.

It will be too late when I take this pill, this time, I won't forgive any of them!Not one is spared!
I promised him that I would arrive at Tochio Castle in ten days, and now there are still eight days left.

If Hojo Takahiro and the others want to seek death, they can die.I will kill their families and let them die cleanly. "

Uesugi Terutora looked into the distance, his eyes were deep and murderous.

Kakizaki Keiya and Usami Sadaman looked at each other in confusion.

Who made the lord so worried?Could it be the cavalry army led by Naoe Kanesuke?

Echigo rebelled frequently. Although Terotora Uesugi fought fiercely, he was quite tolerant towards the defeated samurai, and would not kill them all, leaving as much room as possible.

The Echigo samurai under her rule are too complicated.

The most core group is her direct ministers, close friends, and banners, such as Naoe Kanetsugu who joined the Naoe family, Kakizaki Keiya, Honjo Mino, and Saito Chaonobu.

Then there is the group of retainers left by her mother, such as Naoe Jingzuna and Hojo Takahiro.

The outer layer is the guardian old ministers who surrendered, such as Usami Dingman and Okuma Asohide.

Then the allies of the marriage, the Ueda Nagao family and the Koshi Nagao family.

In the end, there were Yang Beizhong who were not convinced and were suppressed by force.

Rather than saying that Uesugi Terutora is the master of Echigo, it is better to say that he is the leader of the Echigo Samurai Union.

Echigo's independence is very strong, so she can't do things too decisively.Accidentally triggering the sorrow of rabbits and foxes, and the atmosphere of fighting against each other, is even more troublesome.

For a long time, the suppression of rebellion has always been done with open swords and sharp guns.

Usami Dingman also followed his usual practice, so he wanted to persuade him to surrender first.

The Kashiwazaki Plain is connected to Uesugi and Chuetsu. The samurai who were coerced by Takahiro Hojo to rebel this time include old guardians and Uesugi retainers.

Everyone secretly ventilated, opened some conditions, and accepted when they were good.

Even Hojo Takahiro himself took the opportunity to make a lot of trouble, the best thing he could do, and surrender if he failed.

According to the old rules, they were fined three glasses of wine, and Uesugi Terotora would not do anything to them.

Unexpectedly, Uesugi Terutoro turned his face this time and broke the rules.

Even if he got the position of Kanto governor and became the governor of the Uesugi family in Yamauchi, Terutora Uesugi still needed to unite the Echigo samurai family.

Usami Dingman never expected that Terotora Uesugi would choose such a drastic approach.

It is not in line with common sense to attack the city with all your strength while threatening the clan.

The Kakizaki Jing family was also surprised, but she is Uesugi Terutoro's confidant, there is no need to think so much, the lord wants to cut people, so let's cut!

Uesugi Terutora looked at the expressions of the two of them carefully, and sighed inwardly.

Even if the title has been obtained, it is still too difficult to control these warriors with different ideas like Echigo.

She was afraid that relying on coercion alone would be unsustainable, so she decided to give the two of them a plausible reason.

"A few days ago, did Naoe Kanetsugu lead a cavalry army through here?"

Usami nodded.

"It's true, but Naoe-sama just passed by in a hurry after confirming the identity of the friendly army, and didn't say much."

Uesugi Terutora nodded and said.

"That's the Hime Warriors of the Shiba family, hurrying to Tochio Castle."

Kakizaki Jingjia asked curiously.

"The Spozon family? Haven't they fallen long ago? What did they do after they came here?"

Uesugi Terutoro's heart twisted, but he had to suppress his depression and continue speaking.

"He's the son of the Shibazong family.

The shogunate envoy who came with me this time is His Highness Shiba Yoshigin, Kenshin.

The general gave him Yujian to come to Kanto, stand for me, and confirm my name.

I have gifted Tochio Castle to him as a temporary residence in Kanto. "

After hearing this, the two gasped, the son, Yu Jian, walking here, turned out to be the imperial court.

Usami Dingman thought for a moment, then sighed.

"Your Highness is wise, Tochio Castle has become the imperial palace of Hanoi Genji's descendant, which rebel army dares to attack casually, this is a crime of great treason."

Uesugi Terutora said reluctantly.

"This is Lord Ken Xin's own intention, and it may not be useful. The people in Yangbei are used to being rude, and I'm still worried that they will run afoul of you.

I made a ten-day agreement with Kenshin to rescue Tochio Castle in time. If Takahiro Hojo doesn't know you, then you can't blame me. "

After Usami Dingman heard it, he always felt that it was strange, the master seemed not to want to admit the identity of the Imperial Palace, and his words were a bit strange.

She shook her head and didn't think about it, she just lamented that Hojo Takahiro was unlucky.

This person picked the wrong timing for the rebellion. The general's man was serving as a human shield to stop the enemy in Tochio Castle.

This Beitiao city has become a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, no matter how difficult it is, it will be gnawed down.No wonder she was uncharacteristically, extremely tough.

Usami Dingman made up his mind to tell the samurai in the city about his interests.If you play smart and negotiate conditions again, the whole family will really die!

Thinking that she had figured out what the lord was thinking, Usami must have a bottom line in her heart and knew how to do things.

She said.

"I will try my best to spread information to the city to weaken their will to resist.

Since His Royal Highness has the help of the imperial platform, he has a full reputation.Why not invite Mr. Uesugi Xianzheng to come forward, it may have a miraculous effect. "

Uesugi Terutora squinted his eyes to observe Usami Dedman, her expression was sincere, and she seemed to be dedicated to the public.

"Don't bother her old man, I will clean up those rebellious ones and let them know how powerful they are."

Usami Dingman sighed in his heart, bowed and accepted the order without showing any emotion on his face.

The Hojo family attacked the Kanto Plain and slaughtered the Yamauchi Uesugi and Ogani Uesugi families. Only the governor of the Yamauchi Uesugi family, Uesugi Kensei, escaped.

She ran to Nagao's house in Echigo's mansion, hoping to seek a chance of revenge with her family's famous service.

It's just that although the two of them are adoptive mothers and daughters in name, they know in their hearts that this is just a transaction.

Echigo was originally the territory of Uesugi's family in Yamauchi, and there were many guardian old ministers who surrendered to Uesugi Terutora, such as Usami Sadamitsu and Okuma Asohide.

They all hoped that the former governor of the Shangshan family would use his remaining heat to come out as a director, unite and protect the old ministers in her name, so that they would not be bullied by the Nagao family retainers in the mansion.

But how could Uesugi Terutoro let her come forward to share his power and prestige, so he naturally abdicated with his adoptive mother, and Yiyang Tiannian declined.

This time Okuma Asohide was humiliated and rebelled, Usami Dingman took the opportunity to bring up the matter again, but was still rejected by Uesugi Terutoro.

She felt sad, the guardian old minister was not trusted by Uesugi Teruhu, and she couldn't find the support of a trustworthy big man, and the days to come would be even more sad.

Daxiong Chaoxiu's today may not be her Usami's fully booked tomorrow.
