Irobe Minister Minoru knew that Uesugi Terutora would not be willing to use the land of Echigo country to compensate the Irobe family for the new Kanto territory they lost this time.
Then she took the initiative to ask for help, named Sano Masatsuna, and got what she needed from this traitor.
The color minister knew very well that Terutora Uesugi was by no means a person who swallowed his anger.
The two traitors, Mouri Kagehiro and Sano Masatsuna, occupied the Ubashi Territory and Sano Territory respectively, blocking the path of Echigo's army going south. Uesugi Terutora must remove these two nails.
Terutora Uesugi temporarily lived in Numata Castle and refused to return to Kasugayama Castle in Echigo Province. He just couldn't bear to take this breath and wanted to go south again. Military mobilization in the rear has never stopped.
Irobe Minoru volunteered to join the war. After taking the Sano Territory, Uesugi Terutora would definitely return the Irobe family's lost territory to him.
What's more, relying on his military exploits in this battle, it is very likely that Minister Se will be rewarded with more land.
Sano Masatsuna, a wallflower, offended the Hojo family and the Uesugi family successively. She thought she was proud of jumping around, but it was actually a way to die.
Uesugi's army went south to attack the Sano Territory, but the Hojo family would never come to rescue her and repeat the original battle with the Sano Territory.
That battle left a psychological shadow on the Hojo family. Hojo Ujiyasu finally managed to get back a win, but he would never risk his family's fortune easily again.
In this way, the Irobe family can not only regain the lost territory, but the Irobe family understands the requirements of current affairs and also gains the favor of Uesugi Teruhu.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Uesugi Teruhora's face softened because of Irocho's honest and sensible answer, he raised his glass to the sky and said.
"I promise you, Irobe Katsunaga will not die in vain, and I will make Sano Masatsuna pay the price.
Come, let's toast your mother together. "
"Hi!"
The two of them took a swig from a pot, and Shirobu wiped his mouth, looking at Uesugi Teruhora with a strange brilliance in his eyes.
It stands to reason that Irobe Katsunaga's original warning to her was correct. The Irobu family cannot afford to offend Shiba Yiyin, so the Irobu family should be more peaceful and try to forget that incident for the sake of the continuation of the family business.
But the hatred that penetrated deep into her bones cut her heart like a knife.
Minister Shiro knew very well that smearing the reputation of Shiba Yoshigan and bringing this matter to Uesugi Teruhu would not only be of no benefit to him, but also run a high risk of being angered by Uesugi Teruhu.
But she just wasn't willing to let that bitch Sibo Yiyin feel comfortable. She just wanted to get rid of the scandal about Takeda Harunobu's scandal about Shiba Yoshigan's daughter.
This matter has nothing to do with profit, it is just for fun and to vent the resentment that has been pent up in her heart for many years.
Teruhora Uesugi drank a bottle of wine, saw the erotic minister Minoru looking at him in a daze, and smiled.
"What? Is this wine not to your liking?"
Se Changshi's eyes turned red, he lowered his head and secretly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, pretending to cry.
"Today I drink with you, my lord. The wine is good wine, but I feel a little sad for you in my heart."
Uesugi Teruhu was a little confused.
"Feel sorry for me?
On the battlefield, life and death are determined, and wealth and honor are in the sky. If you lose, you lose. The worst thing you can do is win back next time.
Okay, grown-up women, stop crying and imitating that man's behavior and making people laugh. "
Uesugi Teruhora obviously misunderstood, thinking that Irobuchi was actually sad because he was drinking and decadent.
In fact, she used wine to relieve her worries, not because of the war, but because of the love in her heart.
During this expedition, Uesugi Teruhu deceived Shiba Yigen and left alone. After the defeat, she really didn't know how to explain herself to her sweetheart.
She didn't care about defeat, but she really didn't want to face Shiba Yiyin's disappointed eyes.
I was so sad that I had no choice but to stay awake and not get drunk.
A flash of light flashed in the eyes of the color minister, and he continued his performance, pretending to hesitate to speak, laughed dryly, raised his head and drank down his bottle of wine.
She was so coy that she attracted the attention of Uesugi Teruhu, who asked in confusion.
"Is it something else?"
Shirobu Minoru looked hesitant, then fell deeply to the ground and said.
"My lord's admiration for Odaisho is well known to everyone in Echigo.
You know, I stayed in Northern Shinano for a long time and learned some news. When I learned about it, I was also terrified.
But the master treats me with great affection and kindness to the Sebu family. I can't bear that the master is kept in the dark by outsiders, so I broke into tears. "
Terutora Uesugi put down the new sake bottle he picked up just now and looked at Minoru Irobashi with a solemn expression.
"Hokushinano? What did you hear in Hokushinano?"
Izuku gritted his teeth and breathed heavily. This was her last chance, and it was too late to regret it now.
But thinking of the tragic death of Shinbada's family, and of the proud Honjo Nobunaga, the resentment in Shirobu Mino's heart was like poison, eroding her reason, causing her restraint to gradually collapse.
She lowered her head and said quietly.
"His Majesty Takeda captured the Suruga Kingdom with lightning speed, but when Echigo's army went south to fight the Hojo family, His Highness Takeda did nothing.
Lord, don't you think this is strange? With His Highness Takeda's wisdom, wouldn't he know how to take advantage of the situation and stab the Hojo family in the back? "
Teruhora Uesugi groaned and said.
"She was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and wanted to wait until Hojo Ujiyasu and I were both injured before going down the mountain to pick peaches.
Unfortunately, the Hojo family was defeated too quickly and miserably in the battle of Sano Territory. Before she had time to react, our army surrounded Odawara Castle.
Is she, Takeda Harunobu, willing to make a wedding dress for me? We had no choice but to stand still. "
There was a strange smile on the face of Minoru Irobashi who lowered his head, but Terutora Uesugi couldn't see it.
She said slowly.
"As far as I know, that's not the case."
Uesugi Teruhu glanced at the back of her head, which was lying on the ground, and frowned.
"Oh? What do you say?"
The color minister bit his back teeth and said slowly.
"It is said that His Highness Takeda adopted a baby girl on his way back to Kai Castle. After returning, he became a monk and practiced Buddhism under the name Shingen."
Terutora Uesugi felt an inexplicable panic in his heart and hummed.
"What on earth are you going to say!"
Shirobu Minoru raised his head, looked directly at Terutora Uesugi, and spoke word by word.
"There are rumors in Kitano Shinano that her adopted daughter was not adopted...but...she stayed in Sunfu Castle because she was giving birth to a child...
It was summer when I gave birth to a girl. "
Uesugi Teruhu was still a little confused at first, so he muttered and repeated.
"Summer...give birth to a girl..."
Uesugi Teruhu's eyes opened wider and wider because she suddenly realized that she was ten months pregnant.
Valley branch
Ten months of pregnancy is just an imaginary number. The actual pregnancy cycle is nine and a half months. Calculating the days Takeda Harunobu was inactive, she became pregnant around the time of the Battle of Kawanakajima.
During the Battle of Kawanakajima, all the elites of the Takeda-Uesugi family came out. If they were not careful, the family business would be ruined. How could Takeda Harunobu be interested in playing with men at that critical moment?
unless. . The Takeda family suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Kawanakajima, and even Takeda Harunobu's closest sister, Takeda Nobushige, was killed.
Thinking of Yoshigan Shiba being arrested in Yantian City, and remembering that Yantian City held Takeda Nobushige's funeral, Uesugi Terutora felt a buzzing in his head and went blank for an instant.
Uesugi Teruhu didn't want to believe, or even couldn't believe that Takeda Harunobu would do such a shameless thing? If she really did it, why didn't Shiba Yiyin tell herself?
Looking back now, at the time of Beixin, Shiba Yiyin's return was indeed a bit strange.
Uesugi Teruhu's hands couldn't help but tremble, she held them tightly and growled lowly.
"How dare you talk nonsense and slander Duke Qianxin's reputation? I will kill you!"
Terutora Uesugi is a pioneering figure with a majestic spirit. Now his eyes were piercing into Nacho Minoru's eyes, his murderous intent was revealed, and Nabu Cho Minoru could not bear it.
She bowed deeply to the ground and said.
"I don't dare! I just told His Highness what I saw and heard, and I don't dare to hide anything!
As far as I know, His Highness Takeda's evil deeds are not a secret in the Wu family. As long as someone is sent to investigate carefully, there will be results. "
Uesugi Teruhu looked at her, actually he already believed it in his heart. How brave is the color minister? Dare she slander Sibo Yiyin?
It's just that this matter is really unacceptable to Uesugi Teruhu, and she has to doubt Irobu's true intentions. To confess such a scandal out of loyalty? Is this loyalty? still. . revenge?
The corners of Teru Uesugi's eyes twitched. No matter how he thought about it, Irobuchi didn't reveal the truth about this matter.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Terutora Uesugi looked at Irobu Minoru with a gloomy look, frightening her so much that she wet her back with cold sweat, her legs and feet became weak, and her fear overwhelmed her resentment.
Irocho's head, which was really hot, finally cooled down in fear. She felt a little relieved and even more scared.
Yoshigan Shiba came to Echigo Country and helped Uesugi Teruhora preserve the core Nagao Ichimen on Kawanaka Island, and completely dismantled the Yohoku clan through the Shinhada Rebellion.
This made the Irobe family's situation very embarrassing.
Irobu Katsura is a veteran of two generations. He has contributed to the establishment of the clan, and he has gained the respect of the people in the north. His position in the Uesugi family is very important.
But today's Sebu family is neither above nor below. He was not considered a direct descendant of the Uesugi family, and without the endorsement of Yang Beizhong, a powerful samurai group, his own value had dropped too much.
All this was because of Shiba Yoshigan and the personal resentment of Irobu Minami, which made her desperate to expose Takeda Harunobu's evil deeds.
Could it be that no one really got wind of Takeda Harunobu's dirty work on Shiba Yoshiyin? Why don't others dig into it or verify it? Are you the smartest person?
Irobe Katsunaga had just fished his daughter out of the nook and cranny of Kitashinano, and was so frightened by the news that he sent her back to her hometown to think about her past. Why?
Because if this matter is revealed, it will be of no benefit to anyone!
The samurai don't care about the personal relationship between Yoshigan Shiba, Harunobu Takeda, and Terutora Uesugi, they only care about their own interests.
In the context of Echigo's dual politics, and the Uesugi-Takeda family's strategy to surround the Hojo family, no one was willing to expose Takeda Harunobu's scandal about Shiba Yoshigan's daughter.
The revelation of this matter will not be beneficial to the three Uesugi and Takeda families.
But Minister Se had deep resentment and was hot-headed, so he brought this matter out all at once. Uesugi Teruhu was angry that he was kept in the dark, and had to doubt Irobu's true intentions.
It wasn't until this moment that Irobuchi, who had calmed down, felt scared. This matter seemed to be imagined to be more troublesome, making it even more difficult for him to escape.
She was trembling and wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to speak, so she could only lie down deeply.
Terutora Uesugi's murderous gaze swept across Irocho's solid neck, and finally he took a deep breath and said sternly.
“This matter ends here.
I don’t care where you heard the nonsense, it comes out of your mouth and into my ears, only you and I know it.
Do you understand! "
"Hi!"
Irocho, who was sweating coldly, actually didn't get the revenge she imagined, so she kowtowed and agreed.
Terutora Uesugi glanced at her with disgust, raised the wine bottle again, and said calmly.
"Just back off."
Minister Se was relieved, bowed and left the atrium in a hurry.
Uesugi Teruhu held the wine bottle and tried to pour it into his mouth several times, but he couldn't drink it. After a while, she slammed the wine bottle on the ground and roared in a low voice.
"Takeda Harunobu! You bastard! Bastard!"
She stood up, kicked over the empty wine bottles around her, then turned around and shouted.
"Somebody come!"
Hatamoto behind him stepped forward and bowed to obey the order, Uesugi Teruhora said with a gloomy expression.
"Let Nakanishi come to see me! Now!"
"Hi!"
Nakanishi is the leader of the Xuanyuan ninja clan under the Uesugi family.
Although Terutora Uesugi already believed Irocho Minoru's words, she still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Irocho Minoru's news was false.
She wants to investigate this matter thoroughly!
Soon, Nakanishi came to the atrium.
Just as she was about to salute, she was interrupted by Uesugi Teruhora.
"You go to Kaiguo immediately and find out something for me.
Is Takeda Harunobu's so-called adopted daughter her biological flesh and blood?
Remember, pursue it secretly and don’t let anyone know about it! "
Zhongxi fell to the ground to accept the order, turned around and left. She could see that the master's mood was very unstable and on the verge of breaking out, and she didn't want to get into trouble.
The Xuanyuan ninja of the Uesugi family has a lower status than the Iga ninja of the Shiba family, and is very humble. Only by being cautious can you live longer.
Terutora Uesugi stared coldly at Nakanishi who was leaving. He stood in the atrium without speaking for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Until Hatamoto came to inform him, Naoe Kanetsugu asked to see him.
Teru Uesugi couldn't help but frown, why is she here? Naoe Kanetsugu is mainly responsible for the affairs of Naoe Jinguan Office. Could it be that something happened to the Hokuriku Road trade route?
Because the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Naoe family cooperated with the Shiba family on the Houriku Road trade route, they had a good relationship. Therefore, Uesugi Teruhu mostly left it to Naoe's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to handle the negotiations with the Kanto Minister's Office.
Naoe Keetsuna's domestic affairs in Echigo were complicated, and Naoe Kanetsugu's task was not light either. What big thing had happened that required the daughter-in-law of the Naoe family to come and report in person?
Could it be. . Is it related to the Kanto Chamber of Commerce?
Uesugi Teruhora's face was cold. Echigo's dual politics made it difficult for her to get involved in the Kanto Service Office under Shiba Yoshigan. She was constantly restricted in doing things and was quite passive.
The defeat of Shimonoseki this time was also because the Kanto Palace did not listen to the instructions, resulting in half of the Echigo army's strength being unable to be used, and the Hojo family took advantage of it.
If Shimakatsu hadn't learned the basics and finally persuaded the Kanto Palace Army to come to his aid, Uesugi Terutora would have been almost defeated in the battle.
