Hojo Ujiyasu looked at the person present and said.
"Tsunari, what do you think?"
That person has resolute eyebrows, delicate features, and slender limbs. She is a beautiful middle-aged woman with a heroic appearance and still charming charm.
She married the son of the second-generation family governor and married into the Hojo family, Tsunari Hojo. She was also a sister of the same generation as Ujiyasu Hojo.
Hojo Tsuna raised his eyebrows and said.
"It is indeed difficult to deal with the Iwasuke Ohta family, but I can't find a solution for the moment. Instead of worrying about things that cannot be solved, I should do my duty.
If Terutora Uesugi invades Musashi Country, I guarantee you. Kagotsu Castle will not fall until I die.
As long as Kawagoe Castle is still in our hands, the Musashi warriors will have some scruples, and Uesugi Teruhu's trust in them is also limited. "
Hojo Ujiyasu smiled, Hojo Tsusunari's words were very rude, but they were indeed in line with her temperament.
Musashi Country is surrounded by mountains to the west and plains to the east.
Chichibu County in the northwest is connected to Kai Country and Nishi Ueno by the Chichibu Mountains. Tama County in the southwest borders Sagami Province with the Tama Hills.
Kawagoe Castle is the center of Musashi Kingdom, located in the north of the Musashi Plains, and to the northwest is the source of the Arakawa River, Kobu Shindake.
Kawagoe Castle blocked the core waterway from the Musashi Mountains to the southeastern lowlands, and the fertile lowland soil along the middle and lower reaches of the Arakawa River was also under threat from Kawagoe Castle's military front.
When the Kanto generals and the Ryogamisugi family finally joined forces seriously in the face of the Hojo family's expansion, that was the most dangerous moment for the Hojo family.
It was Hojo Tsusunari, a member of the Hojo family who was known as a brave man, who was determined to defend Kawagoe Castle. This gave the Hojo family a breathing space to reorganize their strength and counterattack.
In the end, the Hojo family was able to defeat the coalition forces in the night battle of Kawagoe, completely establishing their dominant position in the Kanto Plain, and Hojo Tsunari was deeply trusted.
She is the lord of Yusheng City and the representative of Heyue City. He was also in charge of the Kagotsu clan on the front line, and held Huang Bei, one of the Hojo family's elite five-color equipment. His reputation and strength were second to none in the family.
Hojo Ujiyasu was very satisfied with Hojo Tsunari's answer.
It was also because the decision she made just now was too depressing and somewhat lowered the morale of the family, so she chose to ask Tsunari Hojo to speak out and encourage everyone.
When the Kanto generals and the Ryogamisugi family joined forces to attack, the Hojo family survived. Could Teru Uesugi's march south be more terrifying than that offensive? Can we still reach Sagami Country?
Hojo Ujiyasu couldn't help but laugh at himself. Maybe it's because the older I get, the less courageous I am, and I think too much about my opponents.
As long as Kawagoe Castle cannot be taken, it is impossible for the Musashi warriors who have lingering fears about Kawagoe Night War to surrender to Uesugi Teruhora wholeheartedly.
Uesugi Terutora will also be wary of the local samurai on both sides of these snakes and rats.
This is a conspiracy and there is no way to solve it. The only solution is to break the situation violently, and let's see Teruhora Uesugi break a few teeth under Kawagoe Castle.
Everyone in the Hojo family is very confident about Tsusunari Hojo.
Hojo Ujiyasu thought for a while, and bowed slightly to the beautiful warrior sitting on the other side of the deputy seat who was slightly lower than him.
"Kamakura-don, what do you think of the Kanto Palace?"
This glorious young warrior Hime is none other than Ashikaga Yoshiji, the current Kamakura Duke and Kanto General.
Although she was criticized by the Kanto samurai family and called a puppet of the Hojo family, Hojo Ujiyasu actually respected her quite a bit. He has his own castle, ranks first in the Hojo clan, and leads his own army.
Her father is the son of the Hojo family, and her own husband is also the son of the Hojo family. He has long been integrated into the Hojo samurai group with honor and disgrace.
She doesn't care about the outside world's criticism, at least on the surface, and is not ashamed.
Hearing that Hojo Ujiyasu mentioned the Kanto Palace, Ashikaga Yoshiji sneered.
"The Kanto Palace is just a thing created by the Kyoto shogunate to fool the Kanto samurai family.
There is only one shrine in Kanto, which was the Kamakura shrine established by General Minamoto Yoritomo in Kamakura, the predecessor of the samurai shogunate.
Nowadays, Kansai people from Kyoto have established a Kanto shrine in Echigo Kingdom, which is simply an insult to us and other Kanto samurai!
Shiba Yoshigan, humph, if I were to encounter him on the battlefield, I would definitely cut off his head and present it to Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine to comfort the heroic spirit.
Your Highness Hojo, you don't have to worry about these shogunate lackeys from Kyoto. Whether it’s Teru Uesugi’s Kanto officer or Yoshigan Shiba’s Kanto attendant, I don’t recognize them at all!
You are my Kanto leader, please go ahead and do what you have to do! "
After Ashikaga Yoshiji finished speaking, Hojo Ujiyasu smiled and bowed slightly, thanking the Kamakura Lord who was not worthy of his name.
Ashikaga Yoshiji was the Kanto general whom she single-handedly supported, and the two sides had a mutually prosperous and mutually destructive relationship.
When Ashikaga Yoshiji succeeded to the throne of Kanto Shogun, it was Hojo Ujiyasu who arranged to visit Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine to pay homage. Hojo Uyasusai took over the title of Kanto Shogun from her.
The two people are like grasshoppers on the same rope, both facing the embarrassment of unfair status.
After the Kawagoe Night Battle, the Hojo family captured Ashikaga Haruji, the then Kanto general, and imprisoned her until her death. This was the Kanto general recognized by the Kanto samurai family.
Ashikaga Haruji was once married to the Hojo family. Ashikaga Yoshiji, the daughter of her and the Hojo family's son, was supported by Hojo Ujiyasu and became the Kanto general. Of course, the Kanto samurai were unwilling to admit it.
The Kanto leadership given by Ashikaga Yoshiji was even more chaotic. The Kanto Governorship is a hereditary service position of the Uesugi family. How can a descendant of Ise who pretends to be Hojo Miao to be the Kanto Governor?
Now, Uesugi Teruhu took the name of the Uesugi family in Yamauchi and the position of Kanto governor to go south, and Hojo Ujiyasu, the Kanto governor appointed by Ashikaga Yoshiji, was embarrassed.
Uesugi Teru's coming is a trouble for Hojo Ujiyasu, and it also shakes Ashikaga Yoshiji's legitimacy as a general of Kanto. She must stand up and speak for Hojo Ujiyasu.
Ashikaga Yoshiji sneered.
“Starting from the first generation of Kanto Shoguns and Kanto Governors, formal succession ceremonies have to be held at Kamakura Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine.
If Terutora Uesugi had the ability, he would attack Sagami Country and Kamakura. Ashikaga Shogun's title of Kanto Governor, haha, is simply ridiculous.
The Kyoto shogunate was also interesting. They actually sent a man to assist Uesugi Terutora. Are the Kansai warriors dead, or are they afraid of our Kanto warriors?
Should we also send a few young men to the battle to make it fair? Let’s look at the men from Kanto and Kansai, who is more powerful? "
The Zaihime warriors burst out laughing. Some warriors laughed so much that they shed tears. Others kept banging on the tatami in front of them, laughing so hard that they couldn't stand upright.
Hojo Ujiyasu couldn't help laughing. Ashikaga Yoshiji's words were really hurtful, but they could indeed boost morale.
Ashikaga Yoshiji sneered in his heart.
Although the Hojo family is from Kansai, they are afraid of being rejected by the Kanto samurai family as Kansai people.
Treating them as their own samurai family in Kanto and belittling the Kansai people together is the easiest way to gain their favor. This kind of flattery method is really tried and tested.
Ashikaga Yoshiji laughed on his face, but he was very calm in his heart. She actually understood very well that the Kanto Governor did not exist originally.
