After the two reconciled, they focused on the current matter.
Yiyin asked.
"How strong is the Ema family of Hida Kingdom?"
Teru Uesugi shook his head.
"Six thousand stones."
Yiyin was disappointed, this little strength was of no use, and said again.
“Can we go north to the Noto Peninsula and go to Nanao Castle to seek help from the Noto Hatakeyama family.
I have a handwritten letter from Hatakeyama Takamasa. Can I borrow a boat and sea to go to Kasugayama Castle? "
Uesugi Teruhu still shook his head.
"To go to Nanao Castle, you need to pass through Echu Sheshui County, which is also the territory of the Jinbo family, and you will also be interrogated.
Even if they were forced to pass through, it would not be easy to climb over the Baoda Hills between the two countries. There are only a few roads.
The Divine Protector only needs to seal the pass to force us back. "
Let’s talk about Yiyin.
"Then turn around, go back to Echizen, and go to the port of Tsuruga County.
Now that spring has begun, the ice at the port should melt and you can go out to Kasugayama Castle. "
Uesugi Teruhora rejected Yoshigan's suggestion twice, and it was no longer easy to reject it anymore, so he glanced at Naoe Kanetsugu.
She smiled bitterly and explained for her master.
"There is no time. We are rushing back to China in the spring because we are afraid of changes in the country.
Little did Mr. Kenshin know that the Echigo Mountains blocked the entire Echigo inland.
In winter, the sea breeze is so strong that it cannot blow through the Echigo Mountains. The entire Echigo Plain is blocked by heavy snow, making it impossible to communicate with other places.
His Highness took this opportunity to go to Luo Jingdu to seek support.
As spring melts and the snow melts, the domestic martial arts family discovers that His Highness is not around, and something big is going to happen.
What's more, where did the Divine Protector Changzhi get the news about His Highness going to Luo? It's really strange. I'm afraid someone in China has also manipulated it.
We must rush back as soon as possible, there is no time to turn back and wait for the ship before setting off to sea. "
Yiyin was silent.
Naoe Kanetsugu was right, the source of the news about the long position of the divine protector was strange, and Echigo would probably not let it go.
No matter who is behind the scenes, Uesugi Teruhu has no choice but to return home immediately.
The Echigo samurai didn't know that she had changed from Nagao Kagetora to Uesugi Terutora. She had the endorsement of the general, had obtained the service position of the Kanto governor, and had full status.
But even if he knew it, it would still take a lot of time to suppress dissidents and buy deals before the whole Echigo could completely return to their heart.
At this point in time, she had no other choice but to bury her head and rush back.
Yiyin gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Highness Shangshan, I know that you are eager to return home, but the situation is unknown.
Could you please let me make some arrangements, then. . I will follow you back to Echigo! "
Terutora Uesugi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said softly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Yiyin nodded and ordered.
"Kamoji Township, you hurry back to Echizen and go to Tsuruga Castle to ask for an audience with Lord Sotechi.
Ask her to send a letter to Kyoto as soon as possible, inform Akechi Mitsuhide of the situation here, and let her find a way to support me.
Tell Gong Zongdi and ask her to help. I, Sibo Yiyin, owe her a favor. "
Pu Sheng's hometown cheered and was ready to go.
She was still young, and Yiyin couldn't bear her taking part in this adventure, so sending her back was just to let her live. The battle was dangerous, and she was still too young.
In order to save horsepower when we came here, we could only travel thirty to fifty miles a day.
It is more than 250 miles from Tsuruga Castle to the Vietnam-China border. It can take as fast as two days or as slowly as three days at full speed. Kamao clan can reach Tsuruga county.
Kaga Ichikatsu has not yet completed the feudal state, so as long as he brings enough food and beans to eat and drink, it will not be a problem on the road.
Poor this war horse, it must be running to death.
From Tsuruga Castle to Kyoto, we went down the Omi River and took the Lake Biwa waterway. The speedboat arrived in the morning and evening. I hope Mitsuhide Akechi will respond quickly.
Yiyin did not expect the backup to be used in this breakthrough, but he had some ominous premonitions.
Uesugi Teruhu is careless and does things his own way, which may cause a lot of hidden dangers.
Now that she is blocked abroad, will these secret hatreds burst out? He needs more chips in his hand to deal with it.
As for the favor to Zongdi Gong, she just wanted Yiyin to owe her a favor so that she could take care of her daughter, and Yiyin paid her full favor this time.
Asakura Keiki took Yoshihiro and his entourage to Ichijogani Castle to meet the Asakura family governor Yoshikage, but they couldn't even get in.
Asakura Soutei is not dead yet, Asakura Yoshikage treats her adopted daughter like this. When she dies, God knows what will happen.
There must have been a change in her mind, which was why Yiyin dared to ask her for help.
Since Yiyin's debut, he has always kept his word and has excellent reputation, just to be useful in times like this!
As long as Asakura Sotechi can instigate Echizen to target the Ichibuki clan, Kaga Etsuchu Ichibuki clan's attention will all be directed to Echizen.
Yiyin and his team had more room for maneuver in Yue Zhong. Zong Zong was always a lunatic and would hesitate to offend people on both sides.
After East Vietnam and before West Vietnam, the two families have to choose one to face them first, right? It's totally offending and inappropriate.
In this way, Yi Bank and his party can bargain and only pay attention to the enemy Shen Baochangzhi.
He looked at Uesugi Teruhora and said again.
"Your Highness Shangshan, do you have any Ji warriors under your command who are familiar with the terrain here?
I wrote a handwritten letter and took it to Noto Nanao Castle together with Hatakeyama Takamasa's letter to ask for help from the Noto Hatakeyama family.
Instead of asking her family to send troops to help, she only asked for a speedboat to quickly report the news to Kasugayama Castle.
If you act alone, the target is small. As long as you are careful, you should be able to reach it safely. "
Uesugi Teruhu nodded and shouted.
"Maori little five girl!"
"Hi!"
A Ji warrior responded and she continued.
"You take the letter to Nanao Castle and be careful on the way to make sure there are no mistakes."
"Hi!"
Uesugi Teruhora smiled at Yoshigan and said.
"As long as Kasugayama Castle can be notified as soon as possible, we can calculate the time to break through Ezhong, and we will have military strength to respond."
Yiyin was not optimistic and said.
"The Echigo army has to pass through the Shiina family's Shinkawa County. Even if the two sides are allies, communication will take time.
I'm afraid it's too late. I just want to keep a backup plan, which may not be needed. "
Teru Uesugi replied confidently.
"Don't worry, as long as the letter is successfully delivered to Kasugayama Castle, the standing army under the city will surely catch up and respond to us.
Last year, in order to help Shiina Yasuyin get rid of the chief priest who invaded Xinchuan County, I sent troops to take over the towns along the way, just to send troops quickly. "
Uesugi Teruhora proudly presented the treasure, but an ominous premonition arose in Yoshigan's heart.
he asked.
"Borrowing the city?"
"Of course it's owned by me. I'll still be in charge of the logistics for peace of mind."
"What about the profit from the victory?"
"Of course it's a reward for Echigo's retainers. I send troops and food, so there must be some benefits, otherwise no one will do anything with me."
Yiyin covered his forehead and finally confirmed.
“What you mean is that the Jimbo family conquered the Jintsu River and occupied part of the Shiina family’s Shinkawa County territory.
Then you fought over and took back these territories, together with the fortresses along the way, became your spoils of war? "
"No."
Yiyin felt a little relieved, and Huihu, who was wearing a shirt, blinked his big innocent eyes and said.
"Toyama Castle, a castle built by the gods as a transit, was too difficult to defeat and was not conquered.
I thought I'd wait until winter. . "
Yiyin interrupted her and said in disbelief.
"I'm not asking this, I'm saying you haven't given back some territory to Shiina Yasuyin?
How did you establish the covenant? Do you believe anyone is there? "
Terutora Uesugi looked at the furious Shiba Yoshigan and said strangely.
"Afraid that she would betray the alliance, I sent a member of the clan, Nagao Kage Nao, to become an adopted daughter in the Shiina family, thinking that she was being tampered with."
Yiyin almost fainted.
He still doesn't know what Shangshang Huihu's military strategy is, but his political methods are completely unqualified.
He said bitterly.
"You are so good.
You swallowed Shiina Yasunin's territory, blocked your adopted daughter from peeking into her family's inheritance, and still expect her to have a solid alliance with you?
Didn't you ever think that she would betray you? "
Teru Uesugi frowned and said.
"The position of the chief god protector is much stronger than that of Shiina Yasuin, and the Shiina family also has internal troubles due to the expansion of the sect's faith.
She shouldn't be able to, right?
Without the help of my family, she would not be able to control Xinchuan County at all. "
Yiyin said angrily.
"Even if we join forces with the Yixiang Sect, it's better than being eaten alive by you. At least the family fortune won't make you a member of the same clan!"
"I didn't mean to pry into her family business. I sent my adopted daughter to be monitored just because I was afraid that she would break the contract."
"How do you win her trust? You don't give her any benefits at all, you take all the benefits yourself.
How to make her believe you! "
Uesugi Teruhu then felt something bad and asked.
"Shiina Yasuyin really knows how to betray an alliance?"
Yiyin replied feebly.
"I don't know, but you'd better be wary of her.
It is not certain whether the Echigo reinforcements will come over smoothly. "
The two of them looked at each other, their brows furrowed, and they felt that their future was even more bleak and unclear.
