When Naoe Keizuna came to his senses and thought carefully about Shiba Yoshigan's proposal, he suddenly felt that it was wonderful.
Tonglewei Castle is the gateway to Shangyue, stuck in the heart of China and Vietnam.
The Yōhoku Zhong in the north, the Ueda Nagao family on the mountain side, the Daokuma Chaohide headquarters on the coast, and Hojo Takahiro who blocked the Joetsu reinforcements in the south.
If they want to join forces, they must pull out the nail in Tonglewei City, otherwise they risk being defeated individually.
Hojo Takahiro defended Hojo Castle in order to block the logistics of Joetsu's reinforcements and force Uesugi Terutora's army to take Hojo Castle first.
There are Sino-Vietnamese samurai inside and outside Tobi Castle, and their thoughts are wandering, so they will definitely fall before Hojo Castle.
At that time, if Uesugi Teruhora wants to advance again, he will be attacked by all parties. The mere strength of Uesugi is less than half of the mobilization power of the China-Vietnam-Xiaetsu alliance, so the conquest will not be easy.
But if Shiba Yoshigami leads the cavalry to Toromi Castle and makes this city the imperial palace in Kanto where the imperial palace is located, then things will be different.
The direct descendants of the Kawachi Genji live in the castle of Echigo. Who dares to fight! Both Yang Beizhong and Shangshan Jiuchen all suffered from numb claws.
These guys can pretend not to see Uesugi Teruhora entering the Uesugi family in the Yamauchi area, but do they dare to deny the Ashikaga family's royal flag and sword?
Among the famous and promising samurai families in Echigo, who is not a member of the imperial family?
Forget about doing things secretly and forgetting about your ancestors, but confront the direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi in public? Your brain is broken!
Aren't you afraid that someone will use this as an excuse in the future to bully the weak and seize the family property?
Naoe Keizuna looked at Shiba Yoshigan in admiration. This young man had the courage to enter Tobi Castle alone, which was indeed impressive.
Teruhora Uesugi pondered for a while and said.
"feasible.
It will take you two or three days to reach Tomo Castle with your personal entourage on horseback. I will join the Kakizaki Kei family and Usami Tada's troops here.
As long as you can delay Yangbeizhong, Daxiong Chaoxiu, and Nagao Masaki for seven days, I can capture Hojo Castle and go to reinforce Tobi Castle. "
Yiyin thought in his mind that ten days would be worth a try.
Once Tobi Castle falls, the Echigo rebellion will be difficult to contain. If he wanted to integrate Echigo as soon as possible, he could only venture eastward and defend Tobi Castle.
Yiyin made up his mind and said.
"You will transfer Tomei City to me and give me full authority to command the Zhongyue Shangshan garrison. I will stabilize the rebels and wait for your arrival."
Teruhora Uesugi motioned to Naoe Kanetsugu on the side to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and said.
"I will give you a handwritten letter, and you will take me with you to see Honjo Shino.
She is the Lord of Changwei City, my die-hard loyalist, and she will definitely support you with all her strength. "
Yiyin nodded and stood up.
"Without further ado, I'll leave right away."
Teru Uesugi said softly.
"Thank you for your hard work. I will break Hojo Castle as soon as possible and go to Tomi Castle to support."
She turned around and shouted.
"Naoe Kanetsugu, you will follow Lord Kenshin to Tomei Castle and guide him, there must be no mistakes!"
Naoe Kanetsugu let out a cheer, and had already fetched paper and pen. Teru Uesugi wrote a handwritten letter, dried it, folded it and handed it to Yoshihiro.
The two masters acted vigorously and resolutely, which made Jiang Jinggang dazzled and had more and more doubts in his heart.
But Naoe Kanetsugu was about to be sent to Shiba's army, and she couldn't find anyone to answer her questions, and she felt uncomfortable.
Yoshigan Shiba and Terutora Uesugi looked at each other and smiled. They had a tacit understanding during the battle. They were in harmony with each other and felt good.
The two walked out and Yiyin smiled.
"The Spocky Knights have been recuperating for a long time and will set off immediately."
Teru Uesugi said softly.
"Quality and trust are valued by the public."
Yiyin glanced at her and clenched his fist.
"Don't worry, you have to be more careful too."
Arriving at the place where the cavalry was being repaired, Yoshiyin explained the plan to Shima Shengmu, but was opposed by her.
Daosheng bowed fiercely to apologize.
“Your Highness, I shouldn’t say more, but Tongxinzhong has not been in good repair since it set out from Kyoto.
It's just a matter of a quick burst of energy. After a long rest, the momentum will be released. If it is difficult to exert force when you are tired, it will not be conducive to combat. "
Yoshigan was stunned, looked at Terutora Uesugi next to him, and saw that she nodded in approval.
The two masters stood in the overall strategic situation and really wanted to support the front line as soon as possible, but they ignored the decline in physical strength of the Ji warrior and the war horse.
Yiyin said sincerely.
"Thank you, Shimahime, it's great to have you here."
Dao Shengmeng felt warm in his heart, lowered his head and replied.
"My lord is so flattering that the island is undeservedly victorious."
When you go out to hang out, the most important thing is to find a master who suits your temperament. Shima Katsu has a straightforward temper and doesn't know how to speak politely. The Tsutsui family suffers a lot for this.
Now I follow Sibo Yiyin, he listens to his advice, his principles are consistent with his principles, and he feels really comfortable doing things.
It's a pity that His Highness is already a general's man, and his love for her may be hidden deep in his heart, never to be revealed for a moment.
Shima Shengmeng's heart was filled with ups and downs, and Yoshihiro had already turned back to discuss the matter with Uesugi Teruhora again.
"Sister Uesugi, Shimahime is right.
If we march by force, even if Warrior Ji can bear it, the war horse will reach its limit. How about repairing it overnight and setting off again tomorrow?
How far is Tomi Castle from here? How long will it take for our army to arrive with two troops? "
Teru Uesugi nodded.
"I ignored this and didn't take into account Ji Ji's physical strength.
The two horses dispatched troops quickly, and it took two days to reach Tongwei City. The rebels should wait for the Yangbei Army to arrive at Changwei City before gathering to besiege the city.
The Yangbei people are complex and their advance will not be too fast. They will not be able to reach Tongwei City within five days.
It shouldn't be a problem for the cavalry to repair overnight, or should they set off tomorrow morning? "
Uesugi Teruhora glanced behind Naoe Keizuna, and she quickly answered.
“I will prepare a place so that Samurai Shiba Kahime can have a good rest.
The army's food and fodder are sorted by servants, and the army only needs to make a small distribution to suit personal habits. "
She also hopes that the Shiba Cavalry will set off tomorrow so that she can have time to ask Naoe Kanetsugu what's going on?
The Naoe family was an important minister of the Uesugi family for two generations. Their long-lasting prosperity relied on their own outstanding abilities and on the other hand they were also good at understanding and favoring their masters.
But now, the relationship between the imperial office and her master made her confused. If she didn't understand this matter, how could she sleep.
Naoe Keizuna expressed his position, and the two governors had no objections, and the matter was settled.
Yoshigan saw Kamizumi Nobutsuna approaching and apologized.
"Sword Master Shangquan, this journey has not been smooth, but I have made you suffer along with me.
Now that you have arrived in Echigo, what are your plans after that? "
Kamizumi Nobutsuna smiled boldly and answered.
"I happened to hear some adults discussing just now. Your Highness wants to go to Tongwei City? How about I go with you for another journey?
With the war between China and Vietnam, the road to Ueno will inevitably be blocked. I have nothing to do, so I might as well go to Tongwei City with Your Highness to have a look. "
Yiyin smiled.
This old swordsman is so good at life, he deserves to be so prosperous in the new Yinliu.
Go from Echigo Province to Ueno Province, go to Central Etsu, and enter Nishi Ueno.
As for Sakado Castle, the gateway to Ueno guarded by Echigo, its lord Nagao Masakaage has rebelled, so this road must be cut off.
As the war continues, the old sword master will not set off for the time being for safety reasons. In this case, it is better to follow Sibo Yiyin to Changwei City and protect his safety.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna went into battle as a young boy, and later traveled around the world to practice kendo and became highly skilled in martial arts. With her by his side, Yiyin's safety is more guaranteed.
Uesugi Teruhu said gratefully.
"Sword Master, thank you for your hard work. I promise you that in the future, I will give my full support to Shinin-ryu when he comes to Echigo to expand his kendo."
During this trip to the Hokuriku Road, although Kamiizumi Nobutsuna lost three capable disciples, he established a battle friendship with the governor of the Shiba Kamishiro family.
Now that things have come to an end, there is no shortage of one last tremor, so I might as well make things right from beginning to end and give it a try.
Yiyin also smiled and said to her.
"I will write a letter back to Kyoto and explain your intention to protect the general. The Shiba family territory also welcomes Shininryu to promote the way of swordsmanship."
Ueizumi Nobutsuna was overjoyed, his death was worth it.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru's affection for Shiba Yoshigan was clearly seen by the old swordsman in Kyoto. With his approval, the Shinin-ryu's favor in the general's heart became even stronger.
Not to mention that the Shiba family, as the leaders of the local powerful factions in the shogunate, spoke out to defend the New Insin-ryu, which would naturally attract the local powerful factions to look at the New Insin-ryu swordsmen in a different light.
Ueizumi Nobutsuna bowed deeply and thanked him sincerely.
"Thank you, Your Highnesses, for the promotion."
Yiyin smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was a small matter.
He deeply admired this sword master. No wonder Xin Yinliu was able to get along like a fish in water, thanks to her knowing how to be a good person.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru loved kendo and established three swordsmanship teachers.
The first one is Tsukahara Fu Chuan, the second one is Kamizumi Nobutsuna, and the third one is Yagyu Muneyan.
Tsukahara Fuden comes from the Shinto-ryu and is his own creation. Kamiizumi Nobutsuna practiced Yin-ryu and created Yin-ryu on his own.
Both of them are outstanding men of swordsmanship. It stands to reason that Tsukahara Buden should be more famous than Ueizumi Nobutsuna.
Xindangliu emphasizes killing with one strike and making good use of real swords, making them even more popular among martial artists.
However, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna advocated bamboo swords and was famous for practicing swordsmanship without hurting others, which was not popular.
The difference in swordsmanship between the two sides is opposite, because Kamizumi Nobutsuna is so good at playing.
She knew full well that Yagyu Sougamo was the chief minister of the shogunate, but she took a fancy to his talent in swordsmanship and spent all her money to teach him and support him as the next swordsman.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru was happy to let his close associates rise to power, so the influence of the Shinin-ryu naturally remained in the imperial palace.
This time, she tried her best to make friends with the Shiba Kamishiro family, using the battle formation to exchange the favor of the two families, and opened up the influence of the new Yinliu in Echigo in recent years.
Compared to her, Tsukahara Buden was incapable of doing anything.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Hosokawa Fujitaka and other high-ranking samurai masters had a relationship with her, Yoshigan had never heard that Hosokawa Fujitaka had any help to Shinto-ryu.
Not to mention that the general has a lot of things to do every day, so he has no time to interfere with the swordsmanship.
The two sword masters had served as shogunate sword masters one after another, but their inheritance and development were completely different, which made Yoshigan sigh.
People still have to know how to deal with things.
