Yiyin shook his head helplessly.
"You will regret this.
One day, you will know that I am not worthy of your sacrifice, and you will feel unworthy of yourself. "
Uesugi Teruhora smiled and walked quickly towards the sliding door. When he opened the door, he turned around and gave Yiyin a hearty smile.
"I remember I told you several times that I never regret anything I do.
So, try to persuade me in other words next time. "
Yiyin put his right hand on his forehead, lowered his head and said nothing. You will definitely regret it, sooner or later, you will!
After Uesugi Teruhora disappeared outside the sliding door, the little girl from Kamao clan walked in step by step, approached Yoshigan and bowed.
"Odaisuo."
Yiyin glanced at her and asked expressionlessly.
"Everyone is gone?"
"Hi!
There were too many things to discuss just now, the Kanto strategy was complicated, and time was tight. Everyone was rushing back to do things. "
"Where are Shima Katsuruo and Yamanaka Yukimori? They're gone too?"
Kamojigao glanced at Yiyin cautiously, but didn't see any clues on his face, so he had to think carefully about his words to answer.
"The two adults also went back without saying anything. There was no dispute."
Yiyin closed his eyes helplessly.
No one stayed, and no one spoke. They were all mired in thoughts, not even giving themselves a chance to make up stories!
Go ahead and think nonsense, go ahead and get into trouble, I don't care, do whatever you want.
———
Mino Country, Gifu Castle Castle.
Oda Nobunaga sneered at Maeda Toshiie who came to see him.
"I reject."
Maeda Toshiie narrowed his eyes slightly and bowed.
"Your Highness, I think Maeda's interests are sincere. Suzuka Pass is one of the three passes on the Tokaido Road and the most important pass between Kita Ise and Minami Omi.
In recent years, Sibo was just hoping to buy some food, but after occupying Kitai Ise, we were able to get a stronghold to peek at Minami Omi.
This is a very good deal. "
Oda Nobunaga looked at Maeda Toshiie coldly and said.
"Us? Which us?
Inuchiyo, tell me. When you do things for the Shiba family, are you really considering it from the standpoint of the Oda family? "
Maeda Toshiie sighed inwardly.
After the beginning of spring, with Hinano Hiroshi surrendering, Higashi Mino hardly organized any large-scale resistance. The Oda family conquered countless cities and soon captured half of Higashi Mino.
And the strategy of the North Ise strategy of the Simino samurai families was unexpectedly successful. Although the harvest was not big, there was no reaction from the Rokkaku family.
You know, many samurai families in Kitaise are affiliated with the Rokkaku family. This behavior of the Rokkaku family is tantamount to abandoning them.
Oda Nobunaga's ambitions expanded accordingly. Before he could swallow up the entire Higashi Mino, his attention had turned to the eight counties of Northern Ise.
Maeda Toshiie originally took a fancy to this point, so he discussed it with Maeda Toshiji. He wanted to trade the Suzuka Pass in exchange for grain from the Oda family in the Nobi Plains.
But now it seems that Oda Nobunaga is more wary of Maeda Toshiie's attitude, which is because he is afraid of Shiba Yoshigan.
As the prestige of Shiba Yoshigan grows, Oda Nobunaga increasingly does not want the Shiba family to continue to be strong, which will become an obstacle to the Oda family's future entry into the near future.
To sell grain now is to support the enemy.
What's more important is that the person who came to lobby for the sale of grain turned out to be Maeda Toshiie, a traitor to Shiba who betrayed the Shiba family's ashigaru laws and resolutely moved closer to her.
Oda Nobunaga had to doubt Maeda Toshiie's loyalty and whether she had really changed her mind and turned to the Oda family. If you are wholeheartedly following the Oda family, why are you lobbying for the Shiba family?
Maeda Toshiie was the nail that Oda Nobunaga wanted to bury in the Shiba family. Now that there might be variables in this nail, she suddenly became alert.
Oda Nobunaga was already domineering and suspicious, but Maeda Toshiie was well prepared for the current situation. She kowtowed to the ground and made a decisive decision.
"Of course I am thinking about you and the Oda family.
This matter was started by a letter from Toshihisa Maeda. I thought about it for a long time before agreeing. There are three reasons. "
Oda Nobunaga looked at her suspiciously.
"Come and let me listen."
"First, the Shiba family is the leader of a powerful local faction in the shogunate, so food problems are not a problem for Kenshin.
Rather than not selling, our hostility will be completely exposed. It is better to sell some to maintain the friendly relationship between the two parties, maybe it will be used in the future.
Secondly, Suzuka Pass is an extremely important pass, and many samurai families in North Ise depend on the Rokkaku family.
Now the Rokkaku family has no time to do anything, but if her family wants to take action against Kitaise in the future, we control the Suzuka Pass and take the strategic initiative.
It would be a pity not to take this opportunity to buy grain and capture Suzuka Pass.
Third, the Matsudaira family is conquering Yuanjiang Kingdom. . "
Maeda Toshiie hesitated to speak, Oda Nobunaga narrowed his eyes and flashed a sharp light.
"you say."
"Hey! Although the Oda and Matsudaira families are allies, His Highness Matsudaira's expansion speed is too fast.
The Imagawa family is struggling to survive, and the Takeda family and the Hojo family are fighting. The Matsudaira family watched with indifference, waiting for work. It might happen that all the Three Kingdoms of the Imagawa family would be occupied by His Highness Matsudaira. "
Oda Nobunaga nodded. She also felt that Matsudaira Motoyasu was developing too fast.
Back then, he had quietly taken over the entire Three Rivers Country and was almost on equal footing with himself.
Fortunately, he successfully won the Meinong Country and widened the gap, thus maintaining his strong position in the alliance.
Now Matsudaira Motoyasu has taken over most of the Toe Kingdom, waiting for the Takeda family and the Hojo family to beat the brains out of the dog, and then reap the benefits.
Oda Nobunaga saw this and was anxious in his heart. But the two sides are allies. She herself said that one of them will go east and the other will go west, and they made a back-to-back covenant.
Although he doesn't like the rapid expansion of the Matsudaira family, it's also not convenient for him to do things behind his back and destroy this alliance that is beneficial to him.
Oda Nobunaga asked.
"Selling grain to Shiba Yiyin, what does it have to do with His Highness Matsudaira?"
Seeing that Oda Nobunaga was touched, Maeda Toshiie knew something was going on, so she said seriously.
“Kenshin Gong bought grain to conquer the Hojo family in Kanto.
The Hojo family killed the Kanto governor Yamauchi Uesugi family and disrespected the Kanto general Kamakura. . "
Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and said impatiently.
"Tell the important point."
As Oda Nobunaga became more and more powerful, she no longer bothered to listen to such high-sounding words.
The public etiquette of the Wu family is the righteousness of the world. Oh, it's just selling dog meat on a sheep's head.
Yoshihiro Shiba went to Kanto just to expand the Shiba family in the Kanto Plain. It's just that the Hojo family has also taken a fancy to the Kanto Plain. It's just dog-eat-dog on both sides. There's not so much nonsense.
Maeda Toshiie bowed in apology and continued.
"Ken Xin Gong has enough military rations and will go south to the Kanto Plain in the autumn.
The Hojo family was attacked from both sides, so they would inevitably turn to Ueno and Musashi to stabilize their territory first. As for the Imagawa family's Suruga country, they had to let it go first.
The Takeda family occupies Suruga Province, and the Matsudaira family occupies the western and central part of Toe, blocking both ends of the Imagawa clan and trapping Kakegawa Castle in Toe.
I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to correct. "
