Yamamotoji Shouchang was not a fool. He had been confused by the Ichigo clan's surprise attack before he retreated. I just thought that I was alone in Fufu County, so I quickly retreated to respond to the friendly forces.
But when Kawada Nagachi said this, she immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.
The Yamamotoji family is the old guardian branch, and their situation in Echigo is already embarrassing. It can be said that they are remnants of the previous dynasty. In order to unite Echigo, Uesugi Teruhu gave special treatment to appease the old ministers.
If the Ichizong rebellious soldiers attack Takaoka Castle and disturb the Imperial Palace, Uesugi Terutora can find a reason to clean up their group.
Yamamotoji Taizhang said with sweat on his head and gritted his teeth.
"Thanks to Master Kawada for reminding me, I will assemble my army right now and fight back to Higong City with you.
I will ask the second daughter, Katsumasa, to take someone to Toyama Castle to report the news, so that His Highness can make preparations in advance. When you and I find out the enemy's situation, we will come back and report to His Highness. "
Kawada Nagachi was so angry that she laughed.
As a remnant of the previous dynasty, the Yamamotoji family had managed to survive for so long without being killed, so they did have some tricks up their sleeves.
Yamamotoji Sadada sent his eldest daughter to inform the imperial office, and his second daughter to inform Uesugi Terutora, and he followed Kawada Nagauchi into the battle.
If you die in battle, you are loyal. If you survive, the merits and demerits are equal. If you find out the enemy's situation, you will still gain merit. Anyway, the heirs of the Yamamotoji family have run away, so they are not afraid that there will be no successors, so they will not suffer any loss.
Kawada Nagauchi was too lazy to discuss these little thoughts with her, so she said to her subordinates, Yoshie Zigen and Haosaka Nagami.
"The whole army goes out to fight."
"Hi!"
The Omi clan samurai family were retainers brought in by Uesugi Teruhora Kamiro. These were all side branches of the family and had no chance to stand out in Omi. When he met the master of Echigo, he volunteered to come to Echigo to fight for his future.
This time, Uesugi Teruhu punished his cronies and gave them a chance to perform. If you don't do your best to serve the public at this time, you will never be famous in your life. The third concubine is very motivated and wants to fight this battle beautifully.
Kawada Nagauchi glanced at Yamamotoji Nobunaga, who understood and said.
"Kawada-sama, give me half a day. My troops are not in chaos. We only need a little time to rest before we can send out troops together."
Kawada Nagauchi bowed slightly and said.
"Sir Yamamotoji, please take care of me. I will have people prepare the food and fodder camp. Please feel free to repair it."
When she came out, Nagachi Kawada quietly said to Nagami Haosaka beside him.
"You personally take an elite banner and rush to Gaogang City.
I told the imperial office that Yamamotoji Sadashi lost the city and retreated, and it was me who advised her to turn back. The two armies met together and immediately fought back to Sun Palace City.
Please also ask the imperial office to make a decision as soon as possible. Our troops are insufficient and we won't be able to buy much time.
You don’t have to come back, you must protect the imperial office, do you hear me? "
"Hi!"
Nagami Ozaka understood what Nagachi Kawada meant and quickly walked out of the curtain.
We can't all be good people to Yamamotoji Shouchang, and Kawada Chouchi also needs to show his attitude.
Yamamotoji Sadauchang sent two women to report back, and they must pour out their bitterness and helplessness to the two highnesses in order to alleviate the sin of losing the city.
Kawada Nagachi was cheated by her, and now he had to bite the bullet and fight a tough battle that was uncertain. How could he let her escape responsibility as she wished? The imperial office also wanted to report her voice.
It was I, Kawada Nagauchi, who caught the fleeing Yamamotoji Shocho and killed Ichikami with a single shot.
Regardless of success or failure, my love for Godaisuo is as clear as the sun and the moon, and Godaisuo must remember my loyalty!
As long as Nagami Ozaka protects Shiba Yoshigan, she will be able to argue with Yamamotoji Sadaga and not fall behind when she comes to Uesugi Teruhora in the future.
———
Yoshigan Shiba of Takaoka Castle didn't know that something had happened to the south, and his communication with the Noto samurai family was very smooth.
On behalf of the Wenjing family who was willing to repent, Onjing Jingtaka sent someone back overnight to inform Miyake Changmori that the Wenjing family had probably begun internal cleaning.
Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna went to meet Yu Sanomitsu, and the two sides had a pleasant conversation. Yusa Xumitsu had an argument with Onei Sosada, but after the failure, he was kicked out of the Noto Kingdom. The Noto Yusa family has long been in decline.
If it weren't for the help of the Kawachi Yusa family and Yusa Xuguang's friendship with some of Kaga's leaders, there would have been no chance of coming back.
This time Yuzuo Xuguang seized the opportunity and took advantage of the Kashima County samurai family's fear of Yiyi Kui to expel the Wenjing family forces and capture Nanao Castle.
But this was just a successful gamble. Her family was unable to fight against the Kaga Ichikuzon clan, nor could they truly control Nanao City. The situation was actually quite dangerous.
Now that Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna has the support of Shiba Yoshigan, he has returned to Noto with the righteousness of the shogunate, and if he wants to return to Nanao Castle, no one has any reason to refuse.
What Yusa Sumitsu needs is a promise to exchange Nanao Castle for enough benefits to revive the Noto Yusa family, and Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna is also willing to give it to her.
Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna agreed to Shiba Yoshigan, and the internal political structure of Noto remained unchanged, so the seven-person collegial system will continue to be retained.
In order to prevent the Onei family from becoming powerful again, Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna also needs to support the Yusa family to rise to power and compete with the Onei family.
Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna took back Nanao Castle and controlled Nanao Port. The steady flow of business profits from the Hokuriku Road trade route will allow her to slowly accumulate strength.
The consensus of the seven people is that as long as the one person is not as dominant as Sosada Onai before, it will be very beneficial to Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna in regaining the family business in the future.
She not only wants to support the Yusa family, but also the elder family and the Iikawa family. It is best for the group of women to stand side by side so that no one can overwhelm the other.
As long as the time is right and Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna takes action again, the Noto Hatakeyama family can regain power in her hands.
The Noto Yusa family didn't ask for much, and Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna was willing to give. Of course, the meeting between the two parties was harmonious and they had a good conversation.
The next day, Chang Lianlong arrived at Gaogang City, and Yiyin met with her in private first.
Yiyin was also confused when he saw this girl. She came to see her because she was dusty and dusty. After getting into the position of Yiyin, you have to be more careful when meeting, otherwise it will be rude.
Yiyin couldn't figure out what she was thinking and asked tentatively.
"It's been hard work coming from afar. You're in such a hurry, aren't you?"
Changlianlong kowtowed to the ground, stood up and said.
"That's right! I heard that everyone else has arrived, and I'm really anxious.
Onui Keitaka is faster than me at Wajima, so doesn't this show that I have no loyalty and filial piety!
I came to see you as soon as I entered the city, fearing that you might misunderstand me. After receiving your letter, my mother and I convened a group of retainers to discuss it before letting me go out, without wasting any time. "
Yiyin was shocked by her string of words and looked at her carefully.
Chang Lianlong has a broad face, regular features, and looks gentle and honest. Her lips were full and her eyebrows were wide open. When she saw Yiyin looking at her, she smiled broadly and her big white teeth were dazzling.
Yiyin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. This man looked serious and spoke straightforwardly. He gave people a good feeling and seemed to be a real person. She is naive yet good-looking, and she is a sassy girl with a dash of heroic spirit.
Yiyin wanted to laugh in his heart and joked.
"So, they jumped the gun?"
Chang Lianlong slapped his thigh and said.
"Odaisho Yingming is not like this!
Especially that guy Wenjing Jingtong, if he is not guilty, why are he running so fast! "
Yiyin finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although he looked naive, he was not stupid at all, and he could betray others.
