Sibo Yiyin's eyes widened and he asked urgently.
"Yukino? How is she?"
Ishida Mitsunari bowed.
"Don't worry, my lord, Takada Yukino-sama was rescued by the Nakato group and is recuperating in Iga country."
Yiyin breathed a sigh of relief.
When he asked Yukino to protect Ashikaga Yoshiteru, he wanted her to stay with the general. Based on how much he values Yukino, Ashikaga Yoshiteru will protect her and prevent the filth from the shogunate from harming Yukino.
But I never thought that those people in the shogunate would dare to commit regicide. Why didn't this idiot Ashikaga Yoshiteru know how to guard against them?
If Takada Yukino dies because of his orders to protect Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Yoshigan doesn't dare to think about this terrible result.
Yoshihiro expressed his gratitude and goodwill for Ashikaga Yoshiki's love and help, and was deeply saddened by her misfortune.
But if something happens to Yukino Takada, Yoshigan will hate himself for the rest of his life. In his heart, Yukino is his sister, his daughter, and his own child who he has supported and raised.
The noble Ashikaga General in the eyes of others may not have a stronger status in Yoshigan Shiba's heart than Yukino Takada, an insignificant swordsman.
At this time, Yoshigami still didn't know that Ashikaga Yoshiteru was killed by Akechi Mitsuhide.
Although he felt sad for the death of Ashikaga Yoshiki in the war, in this troubled world, death is a common thing, and he could only accept the reality.
If one day he understood the truth and knew that Akechi Mitsuhide killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the arrogant woman who had paid a lot for Yoshibank but got nothing in return for his plan to occupy the magpie's nest.
What would Yiyin think?
It was impossible for him to reveal the truth about Miyoshi Kamiro for the sake of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and let the world see the disgraceful role played by the Shiba family in this matter.
There are so many Ji warriors he cares about, working under the Shiba family name, and he cannot destroy their future. He wants to lead them through this troubled world.
The only thing he could do was to shut up, and with deep guilt for Ashikaga Yoshiki, he shut his mouth tightly.
The more guilty he feels, the more he misses her. Ashikaga Yoshiki will become the woman who is least likely to be forgotten in his heart and will always live in his heart.
Akechi Mitsuhide, Uesugi Terutora, and other Hime samurai who loved Yoshigan had something in their hearts. Yoshigan's heart was taken away by Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
They can't compete with Ashikaga Yoshiki, because the living cannot defeat the dead, and the people in their memories will become more and more perfect. Compared with the mess in reality, the picture of her in my mind will continue to sublimate in my thoughts.
At this time, Yiyin was not aware of all this, and he was having trouble with reality.
Just hearing a few words from Ishida Mitsunari, Yoshigan Shiba concluded in his heart that Ashikaga Yoshiteru must have been tricked to death by the infighting within the shogunate.
At the beginning, the Three Goods' Long Celebration was at its peak, the Three Goods and the four sisters came to Luo together, and the shogunate was able to deal with them for many days.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiteru's strength is not strong, the relationship between various aspects has been complicated recently. Ashikaga General's special status means that she is not so easily overthrown.
Miyoshi Changqing's generation of outstanding figures also retired with regrets. Miyoshi Yoshitsugi, the immature superintendent who even had troubles with the Miyoshi family, could successfully go to Luo easily.
There is definitely something wrong with this matter. Ashikaga Yoshiki will definitely die in the hands of her own people.
Shiba Yoshigan was silent in thought, thinking that he had left Japan less than two years ago, what happened that could completely tear the shogunate apart, and someone dared to take the risk and kill Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
He was anxious and felt foggy. Is the same group of Chinese people just enjoying their leisure time in recent days? Sister Fujibayashi, haven’t you done anything in the past two years? What on earth is Akechi Mitsuhide busy with?
Such a big thing has happened recently, and Yiyin has not received even a hint of news. The recent information coming from the same group has been calm and without any ripples. This is the biggest problem.
Yoshigan raised his head and shouted loudly, and the Kamo clan outside came into the shogunate and bowed to obey the order.
"Go, go find the Third Master of Baidi."
"Hi!"
Heavy snow blocked the road, and there was a fierce battle in Kanto. Shiba Yiyin was tied up in Kanto and could not escape for a while. What he needs most now is information. He should first send his military colleagues back to nearby countries to get the truth, and then consider other things.
Terutora Uesugi looked very ugly as he watched the Kamao Clan walk out of the formation to summon the Santafu of Momochi.
She felt uneasy ever since Mitsunari Ishida mentioned the Seal of the King of Japan. What can Shiba Yoshiyin do to find the leader of the Ninja clan, Momochi Santafu? They must have been sent back to Jinji to investigate the information.
He is preparing for his return to Japan!
Uesugi Teruhu looked up at Shiba Yoshigan, who was also looking at her, and their eyes met in mid-air.
Yoshigami quickly turned his head away. The anger and confusion in Uesugi Teruhora's eyes made him panic. I knew this day would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.
With the accidental death of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the green tea scene that Shiba Yoshigan originally wanted to refuse and welcome could no longer continue.
Uesugi Teruhora no longer has any scruples, the amulet Shiba Yoshigan was torn off, his fiancée died, and he was free.
Without the shield of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, how could Yoshigan deal with the aggressive Uesugi Terutora?
To make matters worse, the two sides also disagreed on the strategic decision to siege Odawara Castle at the critical juncture of the Kanto Strategy.
Military affairs and the love between his children were mixed together, making Yoshigage flustered and didn't know how to face Uesugi Teruhora's questioning eyes.
Will the shameless behavior of his male cousin, the acting tea master, finally be exposed today?
Shiba Yigen was in confusion, but Uesugi Teruhu was unwilling to remain silent any longer, she said.
"Mr. Qianxin, the Guandong strategy is at a critical juncture. Do you want to interrupt the war and focus on the near future?"
Uesugi Teruhora still maintained the last trace of reason. Ashikaga Yoshiki was kind to her. She couldn't be indifferent to the general's death, she had to be heartbroken.
Her questions can only be expressed in neutral terms and cannot be used as leverage. What she wants is Yiyin's clear attitude.
Yiyin glanced at her, her face full of expectation. Yiyin knew that he would definitely disappoint her.
The general was killed and the shogunate was in chaos. Yoshigan Shiba would definitely go back. His foundation is in Jinji, his destiny is in Jinji, and he has to go back.
Before Ashikaga Yoshiteru died, he handed the Seal of the King of Japan to Yukino Takada. This king of the new shogunate shuffle, Yiyin must go back and hold it in his hands.
From a utilitarian perspective, his interests and those of Uesugi Teruhu are not consistent in this matter.
Terutora Uesugi has very little involvement with the Kyoto shogunate, and the Kanto strategy is expected to succeed. She may even hope that there will be chaos in recent times, so that no one will cause trouble behind her and hinder her from unifying the eight states.
Once the Kanbaju warrior family succumbs to her banner, seizing the world in Kyoto will be Uesugi Teruhora's next goal.
But Yoshihiro Shiba is different. If he does not return to Kokoro, the shogunate after the chaos will reshuffle the cards, and the Shiba family will be excluded from the distribution of benefits by the new shogunate.
With his sword in hand, Yoshihiro can get the gold seal again when he returns to Koki. With two trump cards in hand, he can participate in the game of Koki and gain more interests in the new shogunate.
There are a lot of benefits waiting for him to go back and get them, why doesn't he go back? For love?
If he hesitates and does not reply, until the recent chaos is settled, the new shogunate ladies will definitely join forces to squeeze out the Shiba family. After all, Ashikaga Yoshiki's death was mysterious, and everyone was afraid that her husband would come back to cause trouble.
After the new shogunate is stabilized, what role does the marginalized Yoshigan have in commanding the Kanto Palace?
Ashikaga Yoshiteru died tragically, and his fiancé refused to return to Japan. A person who is benevolent, righteous, and trustworthy will collapse immediately.
What's even more frightening is that the Kanto Palace is an institution of the shogunate. If the new shogunate rejects Yoshigan, will the new Ashikaga shogun recognize the Kanto shrine?
If he stays in Kanto and turns a blind eye to the recent chaos, the worst possible outcome for Yoshinobu is that his foundation will be destroyed and he can only rely on Uesugi Teruhora in Kanto.
Uesugi Teruhu thinks there is no problem, she loves Shiba Yoshigami and is willing to share all power with him.
But Shiba Yiyin couldn't accept it. Is the power given away still power? What if Uesugi Teruhora turns against him one day and takes it back?
The fame and power that Shiba Yoshigan had finally gained after years of fighting were finally hanging on Uesugi Teruhora's mind. How could he accept his fate with peace of mind?
He has slept with many women in the past few years, but not Uesugi Teruhu! With the above-mentioned temperament of Teru Sugi, if he knew about Yoshigan's rich spiritual history, he would definitely cause a big trouble.
If Yoshigage was willing to leave his fate in her hands, he would have been Oda Nobunaga's concubine in Owari and was hidden by Kaneya.
In this world where women are respected, he wants to pee while standing and take his destiny into his own hands. He was unwilling to compromise with Oda Nobunaga at the beginning, and he is not willing to compromise with Uesugi Teruhu today either.
Facing Uesugi Teruhora's seemingly casual inquiry, Shiba Yoshigan glanced at Ishida Mitsunari and Naoe Kanetsugu, both of whom looked bad.
Yiyin smiled. These two people were so smart. They were probably feeling uncomfortable right now.
he said.
"Ishida-hime, Naoe-hime, you two came here quickly. It's been a hard journey, so go down and rest first."
The two of them were relieved. Knowing that the two masters wanted to talk secretly, they quickly bowed and left.
Watching their slightly embarrassed figures staggering out of the curtain, Yiyin slowly frowned. The incident happened suddenly, and he was unprepared. He didn't know what attitude to use to face Terutora Uesugi.
The loyal and unyielding Giri warrior family? A widow with a river of sorrow? Or are they just a bunch of losers with interests in common?
What kind of attitude could allow Uesugi Teruhu to help her get through this situation, help her return to Kyoto, and ensure that the situation in Kanto would not collapse due to her temporary departure? Yoshigan was not sure that she could fool her.
Shiba Yoshigan was silent, but Uesugi Teruhora was impatient. Now that there are no outsiders, there are things that can be discussed openly and honestly.
Terutora Uesugi lowered his head slightly, unable to see her face clearly, and his voice was low but his words were clear.
"Mr. Qianxin, do you really want to abandon me?"
Yiyin couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he thought about it and replied softly.
"sorry."
Teru Uesugi let out a horrifying laugh, as if it was squeezed out of his throat, and repeated.
"sorry Sorry sorry!"
She suddenly looked up at Yiyin, her eyes full of tears, and said bitterly.
"Don't say sorry to me! There has been a lot of chaos recently, just let them be!
Without the constraints of Kyoto, you and I can just work together to capture the land of Guan Bazhou. This is the foundation of Wang Domination. In the future, if we work together to go to Luo, this world can be Ashikaga's or Spo's.
You know how much I care about you. You care about the future of the Sibo family, so I can give it to you. I can give you anything, as long as you are with me, I am willing to give you anything!
But why? Why should you go back? "
During the Kamakura shogunate period, the Ashikaga family had to divorce their husbands and remarry the son of the former Hojo family in order to dispel the fear of the former Hojo family being in power.
The legitimate daughter of the ex-husband of the Ashikaga family governor was forced to be demoted to a concubine. This is the ancestor of the Shiba family, and it is also the origin of the unique status of the Shiba family among the Ashikaga clan.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru was killed, and the direct line of the Genji family in Kawachi was cut off. No matter who the shogunate chose as shogun, they were not the successors designated by Ashikaga Yoshiteru and were inherently deficient in status.
Teruhora Uesugi made it clear that Shiba Tenka is already planning for the future. As long as Shiba Yoshigan is willing to marry her, Uesugi Shiba will be respected by the Shiba Miao name after joining Uesugi.
The Ashikaga family had no heirs, and the Shiba family inherited it, which makes sense based on the tradition of the samurai family. As long as the fists are hard enough, all martial artists will choose to shut up.
If Echigo could really capture the territory of Sekishu, gather his strength and mobilize his troops to attack Luo, and capture Kyoto, that would be the day when the Ashikaga shogunate was renamed Shiba.
Uesugi Teruhu felt sincere and looked at the other person with expectant eyes. She has given in to this for the sake of her sweetheart. Yiyin should be moved, right?
But under her burning eyes was Yiyin's gaze that she quietly avoided. Uesugi Teruhora's fiery heart became colder and colder as Yoshigan remained silent for a long time.
Yoshigan sighed in his heart, Uesugi Terutora did indeed have true love for him, and was actually willing to help him revive the Shiba family in this way. But he couldn't agree to this for three reasons.
First, Uesugi Teruhora's statement seriously violated the interests of the Uesugi retainers, and even the interests of the Kanto samurai family.
The conflict between Yoshigan Shiba's Kanto Palace and the Uesugi retainers group is becoming more and more intense. Although the Kanto strategy exports conflicts to the outside world, what will happen after the Kanto Hachishu land is conquered?
Using the life of the Kanto samurai family to go to Shangluo to kill people, and finally letting Yoshigoshi Shiba enjoy the benefits, can the Uesugi retainers agree?
The contradiction between Kanto and Kansai has been around for a long time. The special terrain of the Japanese island country has divided the plains into pieces. There is no strong plain area that can suppress the entire Japan.
The Kanto Plain is very strong, but the nearby Osaka Plain and Omi Basin are not weak either. Coupled with the nearby Nongwei Plain, it is enough to compete with Guan Bazhou.
The war in the agricultural era was about fighting for food, population, and whose land could provide more materials. Before the rise of overseas trade, the two sides refused to give in to each other, as evidenced by the Genpei War.
The samurai family formed a feudal enfeoffment system of shogunate, daimyo, land, and local servants, which was formed helplessly to adapt to Japan's fragmented geographical pattern.
The imperial court, which studied the system of the Tang Dynasty, found that no matter where the central government was established, it did not have enough power to suppress the entire Japan. The centralized system of the imperial dynasty was not suitable for the island country.
Later, the shogunate that ruled the world encountered the same problem and could only delegate local management rights and retain arbitration rights. Use the guardian system to balance local forces and reduce management costs to control the whole country.
