After Hojo Umasa pretended to be confident, he looked at the contemplative concubines present, feeling uneasy in his heart.
This was a strategy that she and Naoomi's cronies had worked hard to plan, hoping to gain the approval of all the concubines present.
Sano Masatsuna rebelled, and Hojo Umasa had no choice but to attack. But she surrounded instead of fighting, just to find a way to keep Hojo's army ready and continue to seize the strategic initiative.
As long as the 20,000 soldiers are not compromised, the slippery warriors in the core area of Kantong will not dare to make mistakes. And the ball was kicked to the feet of Uesugi Teruhu again.
If she refuses to save her, Sano Masatsuna responds to her but is trapped to death, which will make the Kanto warriors miserable, and no one will actively move closer to her.
If she goes to fight, it will be just as Hojo Ushimasa said. The Echigo army had just arrived, and there were too many things to worry about. It was impossible to send all 20,000 soldiers to the rescue. The maximum number of troops sent was 10,000.
The people gathered by the Hojo family this time are all elites, and the proud and powerful members of the family do not feel that they are weaker than the Echigo samurai family. Two versus one, isn't it a sure win?
This is the policy of the Hojo clan.
Without the arrival of Echigo's army, Terutora Uesugi's reputation was lost. If the Echigo army dares to come, they are waiting for a big defeat. Go back to Echigo!
Her strategy was very good, and all the big guys in the family nodded. This gradually calmed her heart and made her smile.
It was not easy for Hojo Ujimasa, and her shoulders bore a burden far beyond that of an ordinary samurai girl. I don’t dare to be unwise, and I’m even more afraid of making mistakes. It’s really hard.
The concubines discussed for a long time, their voices gradually became lower, and one person came out of the queue and bowed, saying.
"Ujimasa-sama is wise, I think this strategy is feasible."
The person who came out to give face to the Hojo clan was Yasukage Tominaga and Edo Castle.
Edo Castle is an important town in Higashi Musashi. It was built by the Ota family and has been continuously expanded over the years. Although the branch of the Ota family in Edo has taken refuge with the Hojo family, Hojo Ujiyasu is not at ease.
She established the Sanjo Dai on the grounds of the importance of Edo Castle. Yasushi Ota, the governor of the Ota family in Edo, could only take second place in Sannomaru. Tsunake Toe was stationed in Ninomaru. The castle representative of Honmaru was Yasukage Tominaga.
Qingbei, who was commanded by Tominaga Yasukage of the five colors, was an important minister in the family. She shook her head secretly when she saw that the big bosses did not give honor to the Hojo clan and embarrassed the new governor.
The most important thing for the Hojo family to occupy a place in the Kanto Plain is the unity and loyalty of the clan and the retainers.
These old comrades were so trusting that they really regarded Hojo Umasa as an ignorant child. This will leave a knot in the heart of the new superintendent, which is not conducive to the longevity of the family business.
She came out to say a few nice words, hoping that Hojo Ujimasa would not be rude to the senior ministers and have any grudges.
When she was coming out to say good things, Ota Yasushi was sitting in his seat, laughing in a low voice with Tsunakage Tooe next to her.
"Master Tominaga has gone out to be a peacemaker."
Toga Tsunakage shook his head slightly. Her son married Ota Yasushi, and the relationship between the two was relatively close.
Hojo Umasa is talented, but he lives in the shadow of the Sagami lioness Hojo Ujiyasu. If she can't get out, she will always be a mediocre and conservative leader.
When Tooe Tsunakage lamented the difficulty of continuing the Hojo family business, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Ota Yasushi's low-endowed eyes.
The Ota family is the head of the Ogidani Uesugi family, and the Edo Ota family is a direct descendant of the Ota family with a distinguished family background. But now, she is ranked third in Edo City, which is really a shame and humiliation.
The political power of the Hojo clan is far less powerful than that of the Hojo clan. In the future, will there be a chance for the Ota family in Edo to revive?
Not only Ota Yasushi was observing the Hojo clan politics, but Tsukui Castle Lord Naito Yasuyuki, Matsuyama Castle Lord Ueda Asanao, Takiyama Castle Lord Oishi Kusada and others were also doing the same.
They were all former ministers of the Uesugi families of Ogidani and Yamauchi, and had surrendered to the Hojo family one after another. Some people are sincerely seeking refuge, while others may have other intentions hidden behind them.
Things are unpredictable.
In troubled times, take one step at a time, and no one will be able to say anything for sure and walk the road to death. If something changes, you have to leave a way out for yourself, right?
———
Numata Castle in Ueno Province, the headquarters of the Sanada people.
Sanada Nobushige and Umino Riichi were talking in the formation, and Nezu Sadamori walked quickly into the formation.
"My lord, Sarutobi Sasuke is back."
"What!"
Sanada Nobushige was overjoyed and jumped up to walk out. After taking only two steps, she suddenly stopped and muttered to herself.
"If I'm in such a hurry to go out, this girl will be very proud, as if I can't leave her for a moment.
No, I have to be more reserved. "
She turned around and sat back and said with a straight face.
"Ask her to come in."
Umino Ri looked at her performance with a crooked eye, and Nezu Sadamori even twitched the corner of his mouth, bowed and was ordered to go out and call for someone.
After a while, Sarutobi Sasuke poked his head out of the formation and walked in, still a little hesitant.
But when she saw Nobushige Sanada, who had a serious look on his face and was sitting in the main seat like a dog, she was immediately furious and no longer felt restrained.
She bowed in a pretentious manner, then pointed to Miyoshi Izo and Yuri Kamanosuke who followed behind her, and said.
"Lord Nobushige Sanada, I caught two spies in Asama Mountain and received urgent military information. I had no choice but to come back and report the news."
She bit the word "have to" so hard and forcefully that Sanada Nobushige couldn't help but hum and said.
"Where did the spy come from?"
"Sanhaojia."
"where?"
"Three, okay, home."
Sanada Nobushige touched his head and tilted his head to think.
"It seems that there are no martial artists named Miyoshi in Shinano Country, but the word "Miao" sounds very familiar."
Umino Ri glanced at Sarutobi Sasuke and said.
"The great name of Nishikonji, the Miyoshi family, the territory is in Shikoku and the Settsu area."
Sanada Nobushige's serious face suddenly lost its composure, she pointed at Sarutobi Sasuke and cursed.
"What a fool! If you want to come back, just tell me what kind of spy the Miyoshi family is. Do you know how far away Shikoku is from here!"
Sarutobi Sasuke stomped his feet, holding his neck and breathing hard.
"Anyway, he's a spy from the Mihaoshi family. Just say that, right? If you don't admit it, I'll leave right now and go back to the mountains!"
Two friends who wanted to reconcile looked at each other angrily. For a long while, he turned his face away in embarrassment and looked away.
Sanada Nobushige coughed and said sarcastically.
"A spy from the Mihaoshi family, right? I understand, just say so.
Sasuke, don't go back this time, stay and participate in the Kanto War. "
Sarutobi Sasuke is pretending.
"Isn't this bad? I still have a mission over at Dongxin."
Sanada Nobushige slapped the document and cursed.
"The mission is p! Just tell me whether to keep it or not!"
Sarutobi Sasuke rolled his eyes and answered dryly.
"I know, I'll stay and help."
Both of them were uncomfortable with their eyes wandering, pretending to be adults. They secretly observed each other and accidentally met their eyes. They both smiled awkwardly and felt relieved.
Umino Riichi watched them with cold eyes, while Nezu Sadamori chuckled twice, feeling his teeth sour when he saw their squirming.
