Sanada Nobushige listened intently, and Umino Riichi smiled slightly and continued.
"These recent warriors led by Shiba in Kanto are now determined to follow Shima Shengmu. They are strangers and cannot survive in Kanto without sticking together.
But if we go back to recent times, can they still be so obedient?
As long as Dao Shengmeng has a bit of female ambition, he will try every means to prevent them from returning, and bribe them to stay with sufficient benefits for his own use. "
Sanada Nobushige nodded and said.
“Shima Sheng is both smart and brave, indeed more courageous than Yamanaka Yukimori.
She would most likely choose to stay in Kanto to fight the battle to avoid trouble at the Kanto Palace and gain more power for herself.
what about me? What should I do? "
Umino Riichi looked at Sanada Nobushige solemnly and said.
"Unfortunately, General Ashikaga was in trouble, and the imperial office returned to being single. Sanada Nobushige, let me ask you one last time, do you really want to fight?
The status of the royal family is extraordinary, with noble birth, outstanding ability, and prosperous family business. His marriage is no longer a simple political marriage, but can affect the general trend of the world.
You already have the land of tens of thousands of stones in Azuma County, the reputation of the Kanto Palace Commander, and have climbed to an unprecedented high position in the Sanada family. You have achieved great success.
Do you really want to stick to that delusion, embark on this path of no return, and risk everything?
You have to think carefully, this is related to your future, my future, Sarutobi Sasuke's future, and Sanada's future.
Everything we have now is hard-earned and hard-earned. If you lose the bet, we will die without a burial place.
Do you really want to bet? "
Umino Riichi's eyes were fixed on Sanada Nobushige, she needed an answer.
Sanada Nobushige was silent, recalling the journey of the past half year in her mind. For her ambition, the sisters who grew up together died in Azuma County and Sano Territory.
Sanada, a member of the imperial family, has changed from a loose mercenary who only followed her for the sake of eating white rice, to a good sister who swears loyalty to her to the death and works together to achieve success.
Do you want to put their future on the line for your own selfishness?
Sanada Nobushige hesitated. The madness before the death touched her ambition. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Those who have nothing dare to think and do anything.
But today, she is already a great name, with hundreds of Ji warriors under her command and their families eating with her.
After the death of Sibo Yiyin's wife, the seemingly distant dream has a glimmer of possibility to come true. But does she really want to seize this opportunity?
Sanada Nobushige was silent, and Umino Riichi stared at her without urging her.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Sanada Nobushige was already dizzy thinking about it. Just when her head felt like it was splitting and she gave up thinking, the last thing that came to her mind was that scene.
Sibo Yiyin smiled at her and said, "Don't be afraid, just be patient and it will be over." Then he lowered his head. Sanada Nobushige's lower body suddenly felt hot, as if he still remembered the warmth of his lips.
In an instant, her eyes turned from confused to determined. Looking back at Umino Riichi's eyes, Sanada Nobushige sat down in a standard soil seat and kowtowed to the ground.
She shouted with guilt towards her sisters.
"I'm so sorry! But I really, really, really want to fuck him! I want to fuck him so much!"
Umino Li never expected that she would answer him like this, and his breathing stopped. Looking at Sanada Nobushige who was maintaining the Doge seat posture, Umino Riichi couldn't help but sigh.
This pervert, she is no ordinary pervert, she is so special. . Nothing to say. .
At this time, Sarutobi Sasuke walked into the shogunate, holding two cups of tea in his hand, and said doubtfully.
"Who are you going to kill? Are you going to start a war again?"
Umino Riichi stood up, avoided Sanada Nobushige's seat, walked up to Sarutobi Sasuke, grabbed a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.
After relaxing her mood, she said calmly.
"Who are you going to fight with? This battle may last a lifetime."
Sasuke Sarutobi didn't know why, she frowned and shouted.
"Hey, one of the two cups is mine. After you finish drinking, go up and pour the tea for the Lord."
Umino Li glanced at Sanada Nobushige with a crooked eye, and Sanada Nobushige said seriously.
"Sasuke, give me the cup in your hand."
Sarutobi Sasuke said reluctantly.
"This cup is mine, and your cup was drunk by her."
Sanada Nobushige answered naturally.
"What's yours is mine, you can go out and drink by yourself."
Sarutobi Sasuke was stunned and speechless, angrily handed the tea cup to Sanada Nobushige who stood up and stretched out his hand, and went out again.
Sanada Nobushige walked up to Umino Riichi and handed over the teacup attentively.
"Liu Niang has said so much, she must be thirsty, right? One cup is not enough, please have another one."
Looking at the shameless Sanada Nobushige, Umino Riichi helplessly shook his head and sat back down.
Sanada Nobushige sat back on the main seat, swallowed the tea in one gulp, and then said sternly to Umino Riichi.
"I'm sorry, I want to gamble."
Umino Riichi said coldly.
"If I had known that you would not give up because of your desire, I am just giving you a warning. It will be more and more difficult in the future.
Who knew you would actually say such a thing. "
Sanada Nobushige touched his nose and said embarrassedly.
"It's hard to restrain one's feelings, but every sentence comes from the heart."
Umino Riichi couldn't control her expression, her forehead was twitching, she couldn't bear it, she said.
"I got it, stop talking, let's talk about business. What do you think of the choice between Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuruo?"
Sanada Nobushige thought for a while and said.
"It's not wrong, right? At least it's the best choice based on their situation."
Umino Riichi's eyes flashed with mockery, she said.
“The best choice?
In troubled times, extraordinary things happen, and all routines are breaking down. This is where heroes and heroines come into play. Those who follow the rules will never achieve great results. "
"You mean, you don't agree with their actions?"
"good.
My lord, you single-handedly led the Shino tribe in Nishi Ueno, occupying ten thousand rocks of land in Azuma and one county in one autumn and winter.
But without this troubled times, with your background, would you be able to accomplish this?
The system of the Wu family is strict and the hierarchy is orderly. Although the Ziye family is not lowly in character, it cannot be said to be noble.
As the general leader of a family, the Umino family is destined to be a kowtowing insect in front of the Genji bloodline, let alone the branch Sanada family. "
Sanada Nobushige was thoughtful.
"Liu Niang, please explain it more clearly."
Umino Ri kept talking.
"The world has been in chaos for nearly a hundred years, and the shogunate has finally reached the brink of collapse.
I dare to assert that the Ashikaga shogunate will no longer be able to continue. Even if Odai tries to turn the tide, he will not be able to save the Ashikaga world that is about to overthrow.
All order has slowly disintegrated over the past hundred years. How can the imperial office alone be able to restore it?
Ashikaga Shogun died unmarried and without a designated heir, and the orthodoxy of the Ashikaga family was cut off. Even if the shogunate raises another general with impure origins, it will be difficult to convince the martial arts families in the world.
The title of the pillar of the Wu family must go through a baptism of iron and blood, such as the battle of Genpei and the rise of Ashikaga.
Before the emergence of the people of the world who subdued all samurai families, the orthodoxy of the shogunate no longer existed.
Yamanaka Yukimori followed his master closely, seeking the power of close ministers in the highest ruling circle. Shima Shengmeng chose Kanto because he was seeking a high position in the guardian system.
But they were all wrong. When the order completely collapsed, the martial arts families in the world would no longer care about the shogunate and no longer be afraid of their status.
Everything will return to its starting point. "
Sanada Nobushige listened intently and couldn't help but ask.
"So, what is the origin?"
Umino Riichi said decisively.
"land!
The order of the shogunate collapsed and it was no longer possible to restrain the martial arts families in the world. When the samurai no longer seek service in the shogunate and no longer respect the guardianship system, only the land in their hands can bring them a sense of security.
With land, food and population, only then can we have the military strength to protect ourselves.
The samurai no longer look to the shogunate, and they will go even more crazy to annex land and expand their military power. Only in this way can we ensure that we survive the troubled times.
Therefore, the choices of Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo were not the best, but a misjudgment caused by the traditional samurai's respect for the shogunate. "
Sanada Nobushige suddenly understood.
The heads of Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo have not yet turned around. They thought that this Kyoto Incident was like another civil strife in the shogunate since the Yashiro Shogun Rebellion, and that it would subside sooner or later.
But this time was different. The death of Ashikaga Yoshiki was like the last straw, breaking the last trace of awe of the samurai family in the world towards the declining shogunate.
Regardless of whether the shogunate in Kyoto will return to normal, the world's martial arts will no longer care about the shogunate. The orthodox Ashikaga shogun is dead. He doesn't recognize anyone who comes to power. Come and beat me, you bastard!
As Umino Riichi said, everything is back to square one, fighting for control of the land.
Whoever owns the most land will have the most food and military strength, and can beat all the martial arts families into submission and then seize the world.
Before this, the shogunate was a p, and the guardian system was also a p. Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo were still focused on fighting for power, which was stupid.
Sanada Nobushige frowned.
"Sooner or later they will wake up."
Umino nodded and said.
“They will wake up, and all the martial arts families in the world will wake up, but those who wake up first will have the upper hand.
This time Echigo's army goes south, we are the king's pioneers and have made great achievements. Azuma County has been promised to you by the emperor, but this is not enough.
The rites have collapsed, the music has collapsed, the tile cauldrons are thundering, the high banks are valleys, and the deep valleys are mausoleums. We need more land and continue to increase our strength until the day when Liyue is rebuilt. "
Sanada Nobushige nodded repeatedly when she heard this. Her smile suddenly froze as she remembered something.
"Wait a minute, we originally wanted to forge ahead and strengthen ourselves, so why did you just use your relationship with Yutai to scare me?
In troubled times, if you don't strengthen yourself, you will die. If you do anything with Yutai, you will still be risking your life! "
Umino Riichi looked at her coldly and said.
"I just want to remind you that troubled times will become more and more cruel, so that you can be mentally prepared.
Unexpectedly, your mental preparation is a bit different. . "
Sanada Nobushige's face turned red. Even if a normal person had trouble making a choice, he wouldn't yell for grass or dry food. He was indeed a genius.
After comforting himself, Sanada Nobushige said.
"As for the land, we can't count on Higashi-Ueno. From north to south, Numata Territory, Shirai Headquarters Liangwei, Mabashi Territory, and Nabo Territory are all territories that His Highness Uesugi must control.
If you want to make a breakthrough, you have to start from the Nishi Ueno land that was discussed before. But the Minawa people are difficult to deal with, and Nagano Yamasa is a tough guy. If we act too hastily, it will be bad.
After all, she is an ally of His Highness Uesugi. This time the army goes south, which is considered cooperative. We can't find any reason to attack her. "
Umino Riichi took out a letter and said.
"Before breaking into Odawara Castle, I wrote a letter to Mr. Yutaka Sanada of Toshin, as you know."
Sanada Nobushige spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Well, let's ask my grandmother to help me break Nishi Ueno's corner. She is very familiar with Nobuzada Kobata of Kunamine City. But wasn't Nobuzada Obata driven out of Nishi Ueno by Nagano Yamasa?
Now that Kunamine Castle is under the control of Obata Kagesada, closely following the pace of Nagano Industry, the Minawa people are monolithic and difficult to pry. "
A hint of smile flashed across Umino's eyes and he said.
“That’s not necessarily the case.
Kobata Nobuzada arrived at Azuma County and was waiting for us to return to the army. She would like to ask you to introduce me to the Imperial Palace and enter the Kanto Palace to serve. "
Sanada Nobunaga's eyes widened, puzzled.
"Why would she come to me for an introduction? I have no previous relationship with her."
Umino Ri clapped the letter and said.
"This is the credit of Mrs. Yukitaka Sanada. She pointed out a clear path for Nobuzada Obata and asked her to come to Azuma County to seek your help."
Sanada Nobushige said with a smile.
"Do you know the way? Grandma is really good at deceiving people. I want to learn from it. So now that Xiaobata Nozhen is in our hands, how should we use her?"
Umino Riichi said.
"If the Imperial Palace wants to return to Jinji, even if she is recommended to enter the Kanto Palace and expects the Imperial Palace to help her return to Guofine City, it is impossible.
What we should do is to introduce her, but the Imperial Office can recommend her on her own initiative and ask the Imperial Office to place her with us in Azuma County. "
Sanada Nobushige thought for a while and asked.
"Will Odaisho agree? Will Kobata Nobuzada be willing?"
Umino Riichi said with a cold smile.
"Obata Nobuzada is willing to listen to Mr. Sanada Yukitaka's advice and go to the Kanto Palace in order to return to Kunimine City. As long as we promise to help her return, she will of course be willing to cooperate with us.
As for Odaisho, do you think he is really at ease with Nagano Yamasa?
Nagano Yamasa expelled Obata Nobusada, and now in Nishi Ueno, the people of the country headed by Minawa are unable to get in, which is not a good thing.
Not to mention that the Odaisho did not want to see it, even His Highness Uesugi would find it unpleasant to be an ally of Nagano Yamasa.
His Highness Uesugi gained a lot from his trip south this time.
If nothing else happens, Guan Bazhou will soon recognize her as the leader of Guandong after the succession ceremony. Most of the land in Higashi Ueno belongs to the Uesugi family, and the people who are not direct descendants have also surrendered.
At this time, the Minawa clan in Nishi Ueno are still nominally surrendered and de facto independent. Is His Highness Uesugi satisfied?
The mountains of West Ueno are condescending and have a military advantage over the plains of East Ueno. Can His Highness Uesugi sleep at night? "
Sanada Nobunaga rolled his eyes and said.
"So, if the Sanada clan and the Minawa clan are at odds, is it a situation that both Godaisho and His Highness Uesugi would be happy to see?"
