different warring states of japan

Chapter 989

Shiba Yoshigin couldn't help asking.

"why?"

"What why? What's mine is yours.

If the difference in military achievements is too great, and the Ji warriors below are going to make trouble again after the battle, then it will be called trouble. "

Uesugi Terutora smiled brightly, but Shiba Yoshigin had reddish eye circles.

You fool, why are you being so honest with me?I've been using you, you know?You do not know!
He was distracted for a moment, and let Uesugi Terutoro go out with a wave of his hand.

"Understood, hurry up and get ready!"

Uesugi Terutora was almost thrown out of the castle tower, scratching his nose and wondering.

Why is Lord Kenshin suddenly angry?The two sides are evenly matched, so it is convenient for Uesugi Shiba to join forces.The result of a dominant family will stimulate the ambitions of the samurai under its command, which is not conducive to unity.

Uesugi Terutoro thought over and over again, but still didn't understand why Yoshigin got angry.She was thinking about their future marriage, and she did nothing wrong.

Maybe it's just that the great uncle is here?

At this time, Shiba Yoshigin was sighing in the castle tower behind her as she walked farther and farther away.

How to do?how to do?This guy is serious!If you can successfully kill the elite of the Hojo family, the Hojo family will be finished, and the Kanto Raiders will really be successful!
It was a very happy thing at first, but Shibo Yiyin suddenly thought of a terrible consequence.

Once the Kanto Raiders go well, it will be fruitful.Then Terotora Uesugi will start to prepare for the confluence of Shiba Uesugi soon.

This time, it is absolutely impossible for Yoshigin to fool around, Uesugi Terutora is serious!She really wants to marry herself!
Big trouble!

The Sano family is under the command of the Kanto General. After the death of Ashikaga Haruji, the Sano Territory of the Shimono Gate and the Furukawa Territory where the Kanto General is stationed are important towns in the core area of ​​the Kanto that the Hojo family is difficult to grasp.

Harusuke Kuda, who controls Furukawa's leader, is as cunning as a fox, and respectful to the new Kanto general.

She also presided over the Kamakura Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Ceremony of Ashikaga Yoshishi and Hojo Ujiyasu, and clearly recognized the new Kanto general Kanto management system, making it inconvenient for Hojo Ujiyasu to annex Furukawa.

The attitude of the Sano family is different. Sano Masatsuna is the second daughter in the family, and her mother and sister are both hard-line anti-Hojo factions.

His mother passed away, and after his elder sister took over as governor of the family, she was killed while leaving the Utsunomiya family.

Therefore, her foundation is not solid, so she can only stick to her mother and sister's proposition and resolutely draw a clear line with the Hojo family to strengthen her basic base.And she dared to do this, relying on Tang Ze Shancheng.

Karasawa Mountain Castle, also known as Nekoya Castle, is a mountain fortress that the Sano family has continuously strengthened for generations.The towering stone walls of the mountain city and the water source inside are the foundation of the Sano family's foothold in Kanto.

Hojo Ujiyasu didn't want to let the Sano collar go, because this is the gate of Shimono, the passage for the Hojo family to expand to Shimono country.

Sano Masatsuna also knew that the Hojo family would not let him go, so he resolutely voted for Uesugi Terutora, and sold the Sano family for a good price with three thousand stones.

But at this time, she regretted it a little.

It was night, standing on the castle tower of Karasawa Mountain Castle, Sano Masatsuna looked at the lights in the distance.

"Is the place where the fire is shining is Sano Castle?"

Listening to the family governor's question, the direct minister Jing Gang, who followed behind him, stared at him for confirmation, and then answered.

"It should be Tanuma Town."

Sano Masatsuna narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

The Sano Territory is divided into six towns and two villages. This geomantic land is not only guarding the gate of Ueno, but also rich in itself.

In the south, the alluvial plains of the Watarase River are used for farming, and water transportation is set up to collect taxes.There are many mines in the mountains in the north, and the Ashio Copper Mine is even more famous.

But now, this rich land is being plundered wildly by the Hojo family, making Sano Masatsuna feel like a knife is piercing his heart.

Sano Masatsuna murmured.

"You said, did I do something wrong?"

Onodera Kagetsuna turned pale with shock, she looked around and saw no one else, so she was relieved a bit, and whispered to Sano Masatsuna.

"Your Majesty, be careful what you say, walls have ears."

Sano Masatsuna smiled wryly.

"What are you afraid of? The retainers will only regret it more than me."

Sano Masatsuna, who wanted to rely on Karasawa Yamashiro and sell herself for a good price, made a mistake. She didn't expect the Hojo clan to be so cruel.

But the tough attitude of the Sano vassals towards the Hojo family left her no choice.After all, don't blame anyone.

Seeing her depressed mood, Onodera Jinggang comforted her.

"My lord, our request for help has been sent to Numata Castle. His Highness Uesugi will not abandon the leader of the Sano family."

Sano Masatsuna smiled wryly.

"I hope so."

Under the siege of the army, Shi Fan was able to break out of the siege and ask for help, so smoothly that it made people shudder.

The Hojo clan government definitely let it go on purpose, and the reasons for not attacking Karasawa mountain city are self-evident.Hojo's army is waiting for Uesugi Terutora, this is a strategy to invite you into the urn.

Sano Masatsuna didn't know whether to expect Echigo's army to come to the rescue, or hope Uesugi Terutora would not fall into the trap.In short, the future of the Sano family is uncertain, and she really regrets it.

Looking at the hazy fire in the distance, her eyes flickered and she stopped talking.

On the plain not far to the south of Karasawa Mountain Castle, there stands a Hira Castle, which is Sano Castle.

Karasawa Mountain Castle is the mountain fortress of the Sano family, and Sano Castle is the residence of the Sano family governor's control of the territory.On weekdays, they develop their economy on the plains, but in wartime they retreat to the mountains and hold on.

At this time, Sano Castle had been captured by Hojo's army, and the Hojo clan presided over military discussions here.

She looked at Feng Mo's little second wife, and asked a question.

"Is the news true?"

"Hey! On the day the Sano family envoy entered Numata Castle with a request for help, Terutora Uesugi started a military discussion.

The whole army began to mobilize that night, and set off three days later.The army walked to the side of Mount Akagi, entered Ashikaga, and came along the Watarase River. "

"How many people are here?"

"The army is numerous, the march is long, and the logistics are countless, so I can't figure out the details. But the soldiers will not be less than seven thousand, and the maximum will not exceed nine thousand."

The Hojo Clan's government took charge of the case.

"The long-tailed traitor has been tricked!"

She laughed angrily.

The plains of the Sano Territory are suitable for a joint battle, but the surrounding mountains and rivers hinder the retreat.This is an overt conspiracy to invite a battle, to bully Terutora Uesugi because he has insufficient troops and dare not come.

Hojo's army was more than [-], but Terotora Uesugi really dared to come with less than [-] people, who is looking down upon!

The Hojo clan government originally wanted to deter the Echigo army, but now they are fighting fiercely, determined to defeat the domineering Uesugi Terotora here.

She waved her hand to let Feng Mo's second wife leave, and said.

"The long-tailed traitor's soldiers are less than half of our army, but they dare to come forward to provoke. Can Zhu Ji teach me how to deal with it?"

The Hojo clan's provocative methods are not unusual, but the Hojo princesses are furious, because Uesugi Terutora did slap them in the face, which is too contemptuous.

Hojo Tsunashige was the first to stand up, bowed and said.

"I would like to go first."

After she finished speaking just now, several people had rushed out to attend, and one after another asked for the vanguard.

The Hojo family said with a smile, seeing that the army's morale is available.

"Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient, as long as she dares to climb over the big and small mountains, I will lead everyone to teach her a profound lesson.

Let these rebels of Echigo pay a heavy price, go back to Echigo! "
