Because the Echigo army was blocked in the middle of Ueno, the samurai families in the southeast of Ueno could move closer to the Hojo family unscrupulously.
After learning the latest situation in central and southern China from Nagano Yamasa, this tasteless review can no longer proceed.
Shiba Yoshigan gave Uesugi Teruhora a look and hurriedly ended the review. Their ideas failed and they had to re-plan and find another way.
Until the meeting ended, Nagano Yasumasa was still making righteous promises. After the army goes south, it must go to war with the army to fulfill the obligations of retainers.
The head office Shirai's two Nagao also expressed their stance in the same way, leading young martial artists from all over the place to flatter each other, and then dispersed in a rush.
After their meeting is over, they go back to get ready. Terutora Uesugi and Yoshigoshi Shiba left their subordinates behind to continue discussing their future strategies.
Uesugi Teruhu asked Shiba Yoshigan.
"Mr. Kenshin, what do you think of Mr. Nagano?"
Shiba Yiyin shook his head.
"unreliable."
Teruhora Uesugi sighed.
"Indeed."
She turned to ask Uesugi Kagenobu.
"Mr. Jing Xin, are the two long tails of Shirai, the headquarters, reliable?"
Uesugi Keishin bowed and answered.
"They have no choice. Iwaki Castle and Numata Castle north of Shirai Castle are both in our hands.
If they waver, we can immediately go south to attack Shirai Castle and Sosha Castle. It will be easy. I believe they will not be stupid. "
Uesugi Teruhu nodded and said.
“The problem now is in Mangqiao City.
Nagano is not willing to see us attack the Nagano family of Amabashi City, and among the Nishi Ueno people there is also the Kobata family of Kunamine City who are causing trouble.
This is not easy to handle. "
Sibo Yiyin thought for a while and said.
"The less we dare to take action, the bolder they will be. We must break their luck as soon as possible."
Terutora Uesugi thought for a while and said.
"How about we attack Dahu City first?"
Shiba Yiyin shook his head.
"If we evade the important and take advantage of the weak, and pick the weak persimmon of the Hu family, we will make everyone look down upon us.
If they know that we have concerns, they will wait for the price and hesitate. "
Uesugi Teruhu said angrily.
"We can't attack Mangqiao City, nor can we attack Dahu City, so why fight?
It would be better for the whole army to go south and pull them out one by one. I want to see who really has the guts to be my enemy! "
Sibo Yiyin shook his head. It's not impossible to act recklessly, but it's better to take the next step, he advised.
"Hojo Umasa is in Kagotsu Castle with 20,000 elites. If we fight with the local samurai family in Ueno Country, she will be happy to see our jokes.
He goes out to fight, gains momentum, and then fails. If the advance in Ueno Country is too slow, it will weaken the spirit of the army and be detrimental to subsequent wars. "
Uesugi Teruhu glanced at him and snorted.
"Then please tell me, what should we do? Just spend time here until Nagano Kentada of Amabashi City realizes that he has lost his way and returns?"
Shiba Yiyin sneered.
"That will have to wait until next year."
At this time, Shima Shengmeng came out of the field and bowed, saying.
"Your Highnesses, since the road to Ueno is difficult, can we think of a way from the direction of Shimono."
Shiba Yiyin looked at Dao Shengmeng, not understanding what she meant.
From Echigo to the Kanto Plain, the best route is from Sakato Castle in Chuetsu, via Yoshida Castle, to Numata Castle, and into the northern part of Ueno Province. Afterwards, it is divided into two routes.
One is to go south along the Tone River, go to Shirai Castle and Umbashi Castle, and then arrive at the border of Musashi Country.
The second one is from the mountain line of Mount Akagi and Ashio Mountains in the east, down to Ashikaga Castle, Karazawayama Castle, Utsunomiya Castle, and Karasuyama Castle in Noguni, and then over the Yamago Mountains into Hitachi Province.
The goal of the Echigo army was to enter Musashi Province and fight the Hojo army. What were they going to do in the Shimono Hitachi two countries in the eastern part of the Kanto Plain?
Shima Katsuo explained.
"The Hojo army staying in Kagotsu Castle is not only to supervise the samurai families in the Ueno Kingdom in the southeast, but also to suppress the surrounding areas and deter them from raising troops to respond to us.
Even if the situation in central Ueno cannot be opened, we can think of ways from the direction of Shimono country to leverage several Kanto samurai families to our side. "
After Dao Shengmeng finished speaking, the concubines suddenly realized and started talking about it.
The Hojo family was able to provoke the Kohata family of Kunmine City and the Nagano family of Umbashi City to create obstacles for the Echigo army.
The Echigo army can also instigate the Kanto samurai family in the core area of Kanto and let them rise up against the Hojo family.
It's rude to come and go without coming back. There are many samurai families who don't like the Hojo family. Are you afraid that you won't find one or two strong heads to cause trouble?
The core area of the Kanto Plain consisting of southeastern Ueno, northeastern Musashi, southern Shimono, and northern Shimotso is so large, why would Echigo keep an eye on southeastern Ueno?
The sky is brighter if you take a step back, and you can still cause trouble for the Hojo family in another place.
Shiba Yoshigan looked at Uesugi Teruhora and asked.
"What do you think, Your Highness Uesugi?"
Uesugi Teruhu nodded and said.
"This is a solution. Mr. Kagenobu, has the Nagao family in Ashikaga Castle not made a statement yet?"
Uesugi Kagenobu came out and bowed, feeling ashamed.
"Seems like he's still hesitating."
Teruhora Uesugi groaned.
"The Nagao clan has a noble face, but it can't be lost after all."
The Nagao family is one of the Bando Hachihei clan and was a powerful imperial family during the Kamakura shogunate period.
The Nagao family of Ashikaga Castle is a clan of the Nagao clan. It is indeed difficult for them to accept that the descendants of the Nagao family in the mansion became the governor of the Yamauchi Uesugi clan and their own master.
Uesugi Keishin bowed his head and apologized.
She had been preparing for the Kanto Strategy for more than a year, and she didn't even recruit her own relatives from the Nagao family, which was indeed a dereliction of duty.
Sibo Yiyin frowned.
"The Guandong Plain is so big, but no one is willing to stand up and make a career?"
Although the Hojo army in Kawagoe Castle is scary, there are many Ji warriors in Kanto who cannot survive. These warriors don't have other skills, but they still have the courage to lick blood from their swords and risk their lives.
Uesugi Kagenobu bowed.
"There are letters from some young warriors who are willing to work for His Highness. However, they are too weak to shoulder the important task of leveraging the Hojo family.
Speaking of which, there is one family that has the ability to stop the Hojo family for a while, but the conditions are a bit too much. "
When she said this, Uesugi Teruatora and Shiba Yoshigage suddenly became energetic. Uesugi Teruatora asked eagerly.
"Which one is it?"
"Sano Masatsuna."
Sano family, Yoshigami Shiba thought about it.
Although her family's strength is average, Karazawa Mountain Castle is an important mountain castle at the southwest foot of the Ashio Mountains. The castle is strong and useful, and should be able to hold off the Hojo army for a while.
he asked.
"What requests did her family make?"
Uesugi Keishin said.
“Want food, lots of food.
The Sano family was under the command of the Kanto generals. During the night battle in Kawagoe, they responded to the call of the previous Kanto generals to fight. As a result, the family governor died in the battle and his strength was greatly reduced.
After the war, the Sano family was liquidated by the Hojo family and their territory was reduced. Ashikaga Yoshiji, the new Kanto general, was at Hojo's house and did not speak for her family.
To the east of the Sano family, there was the threat from the Utsunomiya family, and to the south, they were bullied by the Hojo family, and they struggled to survive. There is a severe drought in the Guandong Plain this year, and it looks like it will be unbearable. "
