In Fukui Plains, Yoshihiro and his party, who failed to go to Ichijodani Castle, continued northbound. Asakura Kageki followed him for a period out of guilt.
With her unblocking the road, the road was much more peaceful, and it wasn't until the border that the two sides said goodbye and parted ways.
After entering Kaga Country, Uesugi Terutora became visibly nervous, and her Hatamoto queue became more murderous.
Even Shiba and his colleagues began to be vigilant and entered a state of alert under the scolding of Yamanaka Yukimori.
Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second.
They are all elites. Even if the governor is friendly, they are still trying to compete with each other.
Seeing this, Yiyin couldn't help but ask.
"Is the Xiangzong so rampant in Hokurikudo?"
Since arriving in Yiyin recently, I have never seen the legendary fanatical Yi Kui.
The tenth generation master of Honganji Temple, the Supreme Being, suppressed the fanatical believers of the Yixiang Sect, rectified the internal affairs, and consolidated the foundation.
Therefore, it is difficult for Yoshigami to understand the fear of Kaga Ichimune from Kamishiro Iehime samurai.
Uesugi Teruhu looked at him. The knot in her heart from being indifferently rejected a few days ago was still there. As arrogant as she was, it was difficult to regain her normalcy for a while.
After a long silence, he reluctantly said.
"It's not just rampant, it's simply lawless."
She looked at Naoe Kanetsugu and nodded to her. The young Samurai Hime rode her horse close to Yoshigan and introduced the Ichikoku Sect of Hokuriku Road.
The origin of the Hokuriku sect is very early. Five years after the first generation of the sect, Shinran Shonin, was exiled from Echichi, he left his footprints along the Hokuriku Road.
The fifth generation Dharma Master established Zuisen Temple in Yuezhong, and the sixth generation Dharma Master's second daughter established Honsen Temple in Kaga.
Later, the Kaga Yuechu martial arts family suppressed the Yixiang sect together, and the Kaga Bensen Temple disciples fled to Yuechu Zuiquan Temple.
However, the Lord of Fuguang City of Tonami County in Yuezhong attacked Zuiquan Temple, failed to suppress him and died on the battlefield, and Zuiquan Temple occupied Tonami County.
Later, the eighth-generation Dharma master Renyu Shangren established the Ichikai sect. The guardian of Kaga was overthrown by Ichiki Ikui, and her three daughters occupied the Kaga country.
Matsuoka-ji Renzuna, Kokyo-ji Renshou, and Honsen-ji Rengo. Each of the three temples led one, and Kaga entered an era in which the three temples combined their powers.
Yoshigan knew that the Ichigo clan was quite rampant in Hokurikudo, but after hearing what had happened, he was still stunned.
Killing the leader of a military clan in a county and a country, and swallowing the territory to become a Buddhist kingdom. This is a domineering behavior that cannot be tolerated by the martial arts society. How can one survive.
he asked strangely.
"Then no one will deal with these nuns?"
Naoe Kanetsugu looked at him with strange eyes and answered.
"The guardian of Kaga was killed, and the guardian of Noto, Vietnam and China in the east was the Hatakeyama family. It has long since declined, and its strength has shrunk to the near future.
As for the west side. . "
Yiyin suddenly came back to his senses, and the one in the west was Echizen.
The Shiba family was defeated and lost their country, and the Asakura family was busy suppressing the country and digesting the fruits of victory.
It took several generations of talent to completely conquer the great country of Hokuriku. During this period, there was no time to pay attention to Kaga.
As long as this group of crazy nuns don't look for trouble, they won't look for trouble themselves.
By the time the Asakura family was free, Ichikizong had secured control of Kaga Country. The two sides disliked each other and could not defeat each other, so they had no choice but to maintain a confrontation.
Yiyin sighed, these crazy nuns are really lucky.
The Noto Kunihatakeyama branch family was suppressed by the retainers, and they had no time to take care of themselves.
When the Ezhong clan was in the Hatakeyama clan, it was divided into three guardian generations, and one of them was swallowed up by the Ezhong Ichika clan.
The remaining two guardians, the Jinbo family and the Shiina family, are still attacking each other, and no one can care about the invasion of Honganji's forces.
In this way, the Ichigo clan has become a climate in Hokurikudo. No wonder Uesugi Teruhu is so cautious when crossing the border.
Xiang Yikui is not from the martial arts family, is not within the guardian system, and is not a famous Warring States figure who can defeat his superiors.
This group of fanatical believers have unpredictable thoughts and do not follow the rules of the martial arts family. You can only rely on yourself to be careful when encountering them.
Yiyin asked again.
"How did you get here in the first place?"
Naoe Kanetsu replied.
"My family's caravan took the Hokuriku Road, setting up castle towns as strongholds along the way, and offering large sums of money to the castle lord to use the route.
After all, Niguan is not a martial artist, and his management is chaotic. As long as the city lord acquiesces, crossing the border is not difficult. "
Yiyin nodded.
Although the power of Honganji Temple has been concentrated after the reform of the eighth generation Buddhist master Renjo, the shortcomings of the nuns are still obvious.
There is more than enough incitement but not enough force.
For example, in the Yamato Buddhist Kingdom, Kofukuji Temple relies on nuns and warriors to govern the country.
But these nuns and the Wu family are just like mud that they can't help. They can't resist the real Wu family no matter what.
Xiang Zong took another path.
The peculiarity of Buddhism is that you don’t need to become a monk or put down your butcher knife, just by reciting Namo Amitabha, you can become a Buddha.
As a result, the evil party, wild warriors, villagers, local poor and other poor grassroots warriors were attracted by his teachings and became the backbone of the army.
Otherwise, how could Yixiang Zong defeat the Wu family by relying on peasant women and common people? It would not be by attracting the low-level Ji warriors to be used by me.
The monks managed the faith, leaving secular affairs to the leader of the people, and entrusted the lords of various places to rely on them.
This dual leadership structure makes the grassroots of Kaga and even the Etsuchu Ixiang Sect very scattered.
As long as the leaders are willing to accept money, Uesugi Teruhu can use gold to smash a road, which is really weird.
Yoshigan suddenly discovered that the power of the Ichigo clan in Hokuriku Road was beyond his imagination.
The Kaga Kingdom is in the hands of the Ichigo Sect, as is the Yuezhong County. In addition, the spread of the Ichigo Sect's beliefs has never stopped over the years.
There are branch temples of Honganji in Echizen, Echichu, and Noto, and their power is no longer a hidden danger but a serious one.
The Hokurikudo samurai family has been in decline for a long time, and civil strife continues in all countries.
The only powerful Echizen country still focused its attention on the nearby countries and turned a blind eye to the Hokuriku countries behind it.
Something big is going to happen, Yiyin has a headache.
I'm afraid that the Kanto strategy I had planned for has not yet been launched, and the chaos in Hokuriku Road will tie up Echigo's hands and feet.
Coupled with the aggressive Takeda family in the direction of Shinano, Yoshigage couldn't help but glare at Uesugi Teruhora, which made her feel confused and smiled back with a smile that she thought was handsome.
This grandson can still laugh. He really thinks that he is invincible. He is surrounded on three sides and can defeat all the invincible opponents in the world. Idiot!
he asked.
"How long do we have to lay low before it's safe?"
Teru Uesugi replied.
"Ezhong Shiina Yasuyin is my ally. As long as we arrive at Ezhong Xinchuan County, we will be safe."
Yoshihiro calculated that Shinkawa County is in the central and western part of Vietnam, which is equivalent to crossing the entire Kaga Country and half of China, about 200 miles.
The group cherished the power of their war horses, and there were many mountain roads. It would take about five to seven days to travel slowly on horseback, and they were speechless.
I don't know if this means that Terutora Uesugi is big-hearted or fearless.
As the leader of a country, he has no vigilance at all when standing under a dangerous wall, or it may be said that he is brave and fearless by nature.
Anti-Justice Silver is convinced, he said with a wry smile.
"Then let's go quickly."
———
In Xinchuan County, China, the Shiina family governor resides in the city and the Matsukura Castle castle tower.
Shiina Yasuyin and his subordinate Changguang Koma were having a secret conversation, and their expressions were somewhat struggling.
In the small room, people often kowtow in a photovoltaic manner.
"Your Highness, this opportunity must not be missed, it will never come back again!"
Shiina Yasuyin hesitated.
"His Highness Nagao Kagetora (Uesugi Terutora) treats me well. If I attack her, I'm afraid my heart will be shattered and I will no longer be able to stand up."
Koma Tsunemitsu couldn't help laughing and said.
"You're telling the truth. If you kill that long-tailed Kagetora, that's what people will want, and everyone will applaud!"
Shiina Kangyin was shocked.
