A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

This winter, Hosokawa Harumiya's health has deteriorated a lot. She is very afraid of the cold and cannot do without the stove all day long. In addition, the winter in Shinano is really cold, and the wind is particularly strong this year.

A Ling couldn't let go and went home every day. For some reason, Mrs. Xiaoping always felt that this was not a good omen. After all, my father-in-law is over sixty this year, and he is indeed a senior at this age.

Among the samurai groups of the Warring States Period, this age was considered the longest among longevity. Think about the countless celebrities out there who are kicking in their forties, and they have already made a profit.

But anyway, after finishing the work for the end of the year, Xiao Pingtai also had some free time for the time being. When she got up every morning, she would accompany A Ling to visit her old father-in-law. The matter of a few steps is actually the opposite.

"The weather is extremely cold this year, please keep warm!" Xiaoheita felt that the temperature in the Hosokawa Spring Palace room was average, and only the area around the stove seemed warm.

"Oh, as I get older, this day will come. Hahahaha..."

When the old man saw his daughter and son-in-law coming, he straightened up from the couch. Hosokawa Saime handed over an armrest, and the old father-in-law leaned on it and said a few words to everyone.

"Since father is up, let's have some food." Aya helped Hosokawa Harugong put on her coat.

"That's fine."

The maid brought breakfast in from outside, probably because she was worried about the old man's poor appetite. Xiaopingta took a look, there was tofu miso soup, a plate of radish slices, a bowl of rice with beans, and a large pot of hot tea.

Hosokawa Harugong clasped his hands together and muttered a few words, then picked up the soup bowl and took a sip. It seemed that the hot soup was very beneficial to him, and he let out a long and comfortable sigh. Then he picked up the chopsticks and took a mouthful of rice, chewing it a lot before swallowing it.

Eating didn't seem to be an easy task for Hosokawa Harugong. Xiaopingta stepped forward and took a look. All that was left of the old father-in-law's hands was skin and flesh. The wrinkles were deeply piled up, like wind-eroded cliffs at the seaside, and there was no shine on his face.

"Father, please use more!" Seeing that Hosokawa Harugong put down the bowl after taking only four or five mouthfuls, Aya stepped forward to persuade her.

Hosokawa Harugong shook his head, picked up the tofu miso soup, took two more sips, and then put the bowl down. As if thinking that there was tofu in the soup, he picked it up again and drank it in small sips, exposing the tofu. Then he picked up a chopstick, picked the tofu, gently sucked it into his mouth, crushed it and swallowed it before putting down the bowl.

It seemed that there was no more persuasion. Everyone secretly sighed and stopped persuading.

Aya helped his father get up and get dressed, while Hosokawa Kainyu helped his father collect quilts. The old father-in-law moved a little bit after breakfast, and his face turned a little rosy. He stood up and walked a few steps without anyone's help.

"After all, it's hard work. It's easier to stand up and take two steps than to lie down."

As if he was mocking himself, or sighing, Hosokawa Harugong walked to the door, opened the barrier door, and a cold wind rushed in. The old man was shaken by the blow, and Xiao Pingtai quickly went up to help him.

"It's okay. I remember when I was in Hachioji. The snow that year was heavier than this. I was standing at the mountain pass. There were twenty times the enemy army below the city. I was fine!"

"My lord, I can fight for another twenty years!" Xiao Pingtai was not annoyed when his hand was thrown away.

"Hahahahaha, I don't dare to think about it in twenty years. I was the one who supported the Prime Minister to succeed him, and I watched the Yulin Palace succeed him. Now I just want to watch the descendants of the Palace and Shangluo take charge of the world! What a pity. , I’m afraid I don’t have this time!”

"Father, as long as the winter is over, everything will be fine. Come in quickly, it's cold outside!" Hosokawa Saime came over and closed the door.

"Sigh, I wonder if there will be a chance to taste next year's new miso."

…………

"Please think about it, Echizen Shou, Joetsu is the foundation of Kasugayama's leadership. Now that Ueda Nagao and his son are dead in Central Vietnam, and almost all of Central Vietnam has fallen into the hands of the commander, the next step must be the generals of Shimotsu!"

"Do you need to say this? I don't know?"

"The Nakajo clan in Shimotsuchi has been transferred to Etsuchu, and the Mori clan (Hojo clan) has been transferred to Ueno. The leaders are already taking action!"

"So what, can you still transfer the seal to me?"

"Echizen Shou is very brave and is second to none among the people in Yangbei. Naturally, he was transferred to the throne. But after the other generals gradually weakened, Guan led Mitsukoshi's powerful troops. Can Echizen Shou resist with only one city?"

"You say that, I don't know what An De is thinking?"

The majestic and powerful general in charge is none other than Honjo Echizen Shoumancho! Sit down and follow the instructions carefully, and it is natural that the Hojo clan is the envoy to present the facts and reason, and Masashige Shige, the guardian of Suruga of Daidoji Temple.

As the chief of the Goyusu clan, the Hojo clan personally dispatched the strategy to the Honjo clan, and the efforts made by the Hojo clan were profound.

"It's just that His Highness Echizenmori and my family each get what they need, hahahahahaha!" Masashigege of Daidoji knew that Honjo Shigenaga had been persuaded.

Then he slowly explained the entire plan.

First of all, Honjo Shigecho supports the northern generals to launch a rebellion. If the Igyouno Shinbada clan, the Kurokawa clan, the Irobe clan, the Hirabayashi clan, and the Yoshie clan can all join forces to raise an army. Then Shimotsu can gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, drive directly into Zhongyue, and completely disrupt the situation in Echigo.

And the Honjo clan has another back. The Dabaoji clan (Muto clan) and the Honjo clan in the clan are almost the same family. As long as the Honjo clan launches a rebellion, the Dabaoji clan will definitely follow, so the Honjo clan will have no worries.

The Hojo clan not only transferred Honjo Shibunaga, he also successfully transferred the Aizu Ashina Mori clan.

Ashina Morihei was seriously ill before, and both Date and Satake got involved and tried to intervene in the dispute for Ashina's successor.

Ashina himself was an ally of Uesugi Kenshin, but he could not help Uesugi Kenshin send troops to Kanto, but Uesugi Kenshin's new ally Satake Yoshige could.

So when the Ashina clan had a successor issue, due to the Satake clan's joining, Uesugi Kenshin, who needed allies to support him in Kanto, "turned a blind eye" to the civil strife that occurred in the Ashina clan, or deliberately ignored it.

Ashina Mori is naturally dissatisfied. It turns out that you, Uesugi Kenshin, are not a good person either. I used to follow you around, but now that I'm in danger, you don't step forward to help me.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the angrier I get, the more I hate it!

The Ashina family also boarded the Hojo family's pirate ship!

And Kaga's Ichikou Mun naturally knows what it means to have a dead lip and a cold tooth. If Hojo is finished, the next one to die will definitely be their Kaga Ichikou Mun.

Hit it off immediately!

Oishi's Teru did not sit still and did his best to contact all the forces that could be contacted to resist the Uesugi's offensive.

As for the Yamauchi clan, before the Takeda clan's old leadership is digested, it is impossible for the Oishi clan to use weapons in a big way. As long as the two important passes of Suruga and Koshukou are guarded, the Yamauchi clan who comes without full strength can be stopped.

When the entire nation's troops move north to attack Ninja Castle and Ueno in the spring, Uesugi Kenshin will be surrounded from all sides!
