Honjo Minoru is in charge of the overall situation in Tomei Castle. Today is the third day since Odaisho and Saito Asanobu left.
The Yangbeizhong have solved the logistical problem and are rushing straight from the Agano River to Toruo Castle. If nothing goes wrong, they will be able to arrive tonight.
Honjo Shino seemed to be calm, adjusting his defense zones and preparing for war, but in fact he was secretly worried.
I don’t know what the military situation of the two armies is and whether they can return to the army smoothly.
Half-heartedly, the sliding door of the meeting hall opened, and Saito Asanobu walked in.
Seeing her happy face, I smiled.
"Lord Saito, is the war going well?"
Saito smiled proudly at Nobu and answered.
"It's within reach.
I asked Nagao Kagenobu-sama to attack Nagao Masakei's army from front to back, but just shouting in front of the formation disrupted her military morale.
There are also many members of the Ueda Nagao family in our army, and the force of the pincer attack is advantageous.
Nagao Masaki doesn't dare to fight with us at all. If we do fight, her warrior Hime will definitely turn against us.
It was Nagao Kagenobu-sama who gave her a way to lead the troops back to Sakado Castle, and Nagao Kagenobu-sama watched over her all the way. "
Honjo Minoru frowned.
"In case she regrets it halfway, the Fushi Nagao family's lack of troops may not be able to stop her from making a fool of herself."
Saito Chao Xin said disdainfully.
"I brought back most of her centaurs. They are all members of the Long Tail clan, and they are willing to exchange their military exploits for rewards."
I can't help but smile.
Saito Asanobu was so wicked that he poached Nagao Masaki's military strength, leaving her unable to repeat the attack, and also strengthened Tobi Castle's military strength.
It's no wonder Saito Asanobu looks down on Nagao Masaki, this guy is really too ignorant.
The long-tailed clans of the three families have already benefited a lot from following Uesugi Teruhora's campaign and have integrated into an interest group.
She, the head of the Ueda Nagao family, just said a word and the whole family followed him in rebellion?
If Naomi stands close to the important ministers of the party and stands in front of the battle, her subordinates will switch sides.
Honjo Minoru shook his head.
"I'm finally convinced, so don't talk too much."
Saito pouted at Nobu.
"With her little ability, she still wants to join the Nagao family in the palace, even if His Highness has nothing to do..."
Honjo Minoru said sharply.
"Be careful!"
Although there is no one in the room, these heartbreaking words can't be said nonsense.
Uesugi Teruhu has no children yet. If she encounters an accident, the legitimate daughter of Nagao Masaki and Uesugi Teruo's brother will have the opportunity to inherit the Fuchu Nagao family.
Although it is not Nagao Masaki's turn, her descendants may still become the Lord of Echigo.
Saito Asanobu's words actually express the worries of those under Uesugi Teruhu.
The master is getting older, but he is addicted to alcohol and has no interest in marriage.
If he continues like this, he might actually accept Nagao Masakai's daughter as his adopted daughter, and there's no guarantee of inheriting the family business.
Honjo Mino sighed.
The family business has no heirs, which is a hidden danger. Who knows what trouble will happen. I still hope that the master will get married early and have talented successors.
No matter what the future holds, Saito Asanobu's operation really boosted the morale of the military and brought in many new troops.
Honjo Minoru smiled.
"You have done a good job, now just wait for the imperial officer to come back."
Saito Chao Xin said with some dissatisfaction.
"How can we let a man dictate what we do in a war? What should we do if something goes wrong?"
This village is really helpless.
"What can I do? Didn't you see Naoe Kanetsugu following him?
Not to mention that the direct descendants of the Kawachi Genji have a distinguished status, which is also the intention of the Lord. How dare you show your teeth? "
Saito Asanobu was speechless.
Both of them were born in Uesugi Teruhora, and they were loyal and naturally followed orders.
Naoe Kanetsugu was born in the Naomi Party, and was appointed by his lord to join the Naoe family.
Her mother-in-law, Naoe Keizuna, was an important member of the family lineage and was deeply trusted by Uesugi Teruhora.
Because of Naoe Kanetsugu's dual status as a direct minister and a lord, her status was aloof, and all parties gave her a share of face.
She was sent by Uesugi Teruhora to guide the way to the imperial palace, and she must have considered the intention of supervising and intimidating the unruly and unruly Hatamotos in the Central and Eastern Han Dynasty, fearing that they would collide with the nobles.
If Saito Chao Nobu acts stupidly and provokes her, when the master's reinforcements arrive, they will definitely skin her and vent her anger on the Imperial Palace.
The new Kamigami family who had just received the position of leader of the Kanto region must show respect to the shogunate. This is politically correct and cannot be challenged by anyone.
Saito Asanobu was not stupid, so he complained to Honjo Minoru. A few days ago, when Si Boyi was playing silver, she was silent and focused.
Next, the two stopped talking about taboo topics and started talking about the war. Without saying a few words, it was announced that the imperial office was back.
So, we went out to greet him together.
———
Yoshigan once again stepped into the castle tower of Tomi Castle and ordered a military meeting.
At the latest tomorrow, and at the earliest tonight, the enemy troops will arrive in the Tongwei City area. The various elements in the city are complex and must be sorted out first.
He brought Daxiong Chaoxiu back, and the village was really surprised. Saito Chaobu looked unhappy, and they both did not trust Daxiong's military power.
Daxiong Chaoxiu ignored them, placed his generals outside the city, and followed Yiyin into the city alone.
She had completely fallen to the imperial court, and the thoughts of the superiors were no longer important to her. She hugged her thighs tightly and walked her own way.
While the Ji warriors from various families came to the meeting hall one after another, Yoshihiro asked Honzo Minoru about his current situation.
After a while, everyone arrived, the sliding door of the meeting hall was closed again, and the concubines held their breath and listened to the instructions from the emperor.
It was still the upper-shirt crowd on the left, and the Chinese and Vietnamese crowd on the right, but in the front row of the Chinese and Vietnamese crowd sat the Big Bear Chao Xiu, which surprised the concubines behind them.
Shiba Yoshigan was in a good mood, thinking about what Honjo Mino said about the military situation.
The two groups of rebels surrendered and retreated.
Although they don't know the situation of Hojo Castle, the only ones Toromi Castle has to face are the Yangbei Zhong, which is much better than the previous situation.
"My lord, I will plant the white flag you hastily made for the whole city later."
"Hi!"
Yiyin smiled.
"Now our military strength is no less than that of Yangbei Zhong, and we will need everyone to work together in the future."
He also wanted to say something to boost morale, but Saito snorted at Nobu, and Yoshigan looked at her coldly.
"Master Saito, do you have any objections?"
Saito Asanobu didn't want to come forward, but when he saw Daxiong Asanobu sitting firmly at the head of the Chinese and Vietnamese people, he felt resentful.
Honjo Sano even winked at her, but she ignored him.
The Zhongyue Bear Party and the Uesugi people are arguing over their own interests, and Honzo is actually favoring his own family members who are causing trouble out of helplessness.
Saito Asanobu was the leader of those who approached Hatamoto, and she looked down upon administrative factions like Ohkuma Asahide the most.
The military sects like Hatamoto and others followed Terutora Uesugi and learned the arrogant and domineering side of their lord.
They were entrusted to the Sino-Vietnamese region by rewards, so they regarded themselves as heroes, so what if they bullied the Big Bear Party?
Now that Daxiong Chaoxiu had not been punished for her rebellion, but instead was brought to the imperial court to perform meritorious service and atone for her sins, she felt unhappy.
There was no respect for either Okuma Asahide or the Odaisho, Saito Asanobu.
Now that his temper was rising, he didn't bother to cover it up and just started to hum.
"Marching and fighting are about clear rewards and punishments. Merits are not rewarded, and crimes are not punished. How can we work together to fight against rebellion?"
As she spoke, she looked at Daxiong Chaoxiu from the corner of her eyes.
Da Xiong Chao Xiu did not refute and lowered his head silently.
She was used to being bullied by Saito Asanobu, and neither Honjo Mino nor Uesugi Terutora would care.
Saito Asanobu was brave and good at fighting, and he was generous and protective of his shortcomings. He had a high status among Uesugi Teruhora's side banners.
She acted like a bastard, but the master would just turn a blind eye and not care about her.
But this time, Daxiong lowered his head to hide his expression, trying hard to endure it, fearing that he would not be able to hold back and laugh out loud.
Although he had only been with the Imperial Academy for two days, this young man had carefully learned his decision-making in killing.
Saito Asanobu acted arrogantly in front of him, and if she was going to be unlucky, she would simply pretend to be miserable and watch the show.
Saito Asanobu saw the big bear bowed his head and said nothing, and was about to humiliate him as usual, but heard a snap.
On the main seat, Yiyin frowned coldly, slapped his palm on the document, and cursed at me.
"How do you control your subordinates! Do you know the rules? Who is she? I dare to interrupt even if I speak!"
Saito Chao Xin choked and was stunned on the spot.
This village is actually complaining secretly, this imperial office is really difficult to deal with.
Saito Asanobu is a member of the Shangshanmen, and Honjo Minoru, as Uesugi Teruhora's agent in Central Vietnam, has the power to control her.
If Yoshigan plays against Asanobu Saito.
On the one hand, the identities are not equal, and I have lost my B-square.
On the other hand, this man looks like a tyrannical general who can't control his temper. He may not be willing to bow his head if he is hot-headed.
Therefore, Yiyin would not talk to her. Treating her like air would be the biggest warning and humiliation.
However, Honjo Sano had to explain and apologize to Yoshibank because Uesugi Teruhora had granted Yoshibank the highest authority for the Sino-Vietnamese war.
He is Honjo Sano's boss. The boss scolds his subordinates, but does not go beyond his subordinates to criticize her subordinates.
This is a form of respect and a threat. It implies that if you don't care about the people who treat you well, don't blame me for being ruthless.
With both hard and soft tactics, our village had no choice but to bow its head and plead guilty.
