Terutora Uesugi sat back down and said coldly.
"I can agree to Hojo Ujiyasu's request, but I have a condition."
Nagao Toucho was ecstatic. She didn't know why Uesugi Teruhora suddenly changed his mind. But as long as Uesugi Teruhu is willing to nod, any conditions can be negotiated.
She said respectfully.
"Your Highness, please speak."
Uesugi Teruhora's eyes exuded complex lights, including sadness, anger, and confusion, she said slowly.
"I want to form a Vietoshi alliance with Hojo Ujiyasu to fight against the Takeda family together."
Nagao was stunned for a moment, and repeated with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Fight against the Takeda family?"
Uesugi Teruhu nodded and said.
"Yes, fighting against the Takeda family together is my condition. If Hojo Ujiyasu is willing to agree, I will be willing to form an alliance with her!"
It’s hard to understand when the long tail is long. What kind of condition is this? This is simply a big gift package!
At the beginning, after the Battle of Kawanakajima, Yoshihiro Shiba planned for Terutora Uesugi to win over the Takeda family and split the alliance of the three Imagawa, Takeda and Hojo families.
Echigo Province is still transporting affordable grain, cloth, and salt to Zenkoji Heisho Town in Northern Shinano, helping the Takeda family stabilize internal supply and demand and move all the way south.
When the Takeda family went south to the Suruga Kingdom, it was a dagger stuck in the back of the Hojo family, which made the Hojo family feel uncomfortable and had to look away.
Now, Uesugi Teruhora actually wants to form an alliance with the Hojo family to deal with the Takeda family? How could Hojo Ujiyasu not agree!
Terutora Uesugi personally dismantled the strategic advantage of the Uesugi-Takeda family to attack the Hojo family, and instead joined forces with the Hojo family. Hojo Ujiyasu could laugh out of his dreams.
Terutora Uesugi glanced at Nagao Tocho, who looked confused, and said decisively.
"No need to ask any more questions, let Yura Narashige bring the message to Hojo Ujiyasu!"
———
The situation in Kanto completely changed its direction because of Shirobu's solid words.
Impressed by Hojo Ujiyasu's low profile, and even more angry at Takeda Harunobu's evil deeds, Uesugi Terutora is determined to deviate from the route planned for her by Shiba Yoshigan.
Kanto Strategy has completely changed its shape.
Although Hojo Ujiyasu didn't understand why Uesugi Terutora fell out with Takeda Harunobu, she would never miss this god-given opportunity.
Mouri Kagehiro fled from Mabashi City and went south to join the Hojo family. Sano Masatsuna was abandoned by the Hojo family and was in panic all day long.
As the Uesugi and Hojo families formally entered into a treaty, the Vietnam Alliance shocked the entire Kanba Prefecture.
The Satomi family, which had been fighting against the Hojo family on the Boso Peninsula, immediately reached an unequal peace treaty with the Hojo family and formally surrendered to the Hojo family.
The samurai warriors of Shimono and Hitachi were angry at Uesugi Teruhora's betrayal and banded together to protect themselves, becoming the Oriental People isolated in the east of Kanpachi Province.
However, Yoshigan Shiba, who is far away in Japan, still doesn't know that the Kanto strategy he painstakingly planned for Uesugi Teruhora can no longer be realized.
Uesugi Teruhora, who was ostracized by the Kanbashi samurai family, no longer had the moral will to unify Kanto.
How will Yoshihiro Shiba, who is coerced by the system mission, deal with the messy situation in Kanto in order to preserve his immortal appearance?
———
Kai Country, Uzakikan.
Takeda Shingen, who has become a monk, is dressed in plain clothes. He looks at the little figure crawling on the tatami in front of him, his eyes shining with soft light.
Takeda Nobulen, who was sitting opposite her, had complicated eyes, looking at the child curiously exploring the world, not knowing whether he was happy or sad.
Takeda Shingen smiled and pointed at his daughter and said.
"Look at her, she's less than a year old and she's like a little monkey, climbing and exploring everywhere.
If I didn't watch, I was afraid that she would fall and hit her again. "
Takeda Shingen's tone seemed to be complaining, but it was filled with a hint of pride.
Children in medieval times were undernourished and did not develop as well as later generations. But her daughter with Shiba Yiyin is smart, agile and strong.
The martial arts family of the island country is superstitious about blood. It is said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the daughter of a mouse can dig holes.
Perhaps it was the powerful combination of Shiba Yiyin's genes from the male-dominated world and the physique of the female-dominated world, the Ji Samurai, that resulted in his children indeed having some weird advantages.
And this advantage is exactly in line with the bloodline theory that the Wu family firmly believes in, and has become evidence that Sibo Yiyin's bloodline is noble and extraordinary.
Takeda Shingen smiled like a vixen who successfully stole a chicken. Although Takeda Shingen was worried at this time, it was hard to refute that he was despising the blood of a noble person.
Before Takeda Shingen gave birth, he began to hide behind the scenes and gradually let go of power in the family to Takeda Nobuken.
Takeda Shinken was originally ecstatic, thinking that this was a good opportunity to sideline Takeda Shingen and control the power of the Takeda family.
But reality is often not so beautiful.
The Takeda family was based on the barren Kai country, and the Kai people were tough mountain folk who were difficult to control.
Externally, the expansion of the Takeda family was difficult due to the lack of strength of the Kai Kingdom, and they were surrounded by powerful samurai daimyo such as Uesugi, Hojo, and Tokugawa.
Internally, there are many conflicts between the Kaibi people, the Shinono people, and the Suruga people, and they look down on each other.
The head of the family knew that firewood and rice were expensive, and when Takeda Xinlian sat on this crater, she realized that the position of Takeda family governor was not as prestigious as she thought.
If this position had been easy to fill, Takeda Nobutora would not have been expelled by the retainers, and Takeda Nobushige would not have been convinced of Takeda Shingen.
Some of Takeda Nobulen's original ambitions and delusions were severely extinguished by the cold water of reality.
The Takeda family can live without Takeda Shinken, but Takeda Shingen is indispensable. Takeda Xinren quickly adjusted his position and admired his eldest sister even more.
Only Takeda Shingen can handle this mess. If it had been anyone else, the Takeda family would have been torn apart.
Takeda Shinren came here not to watch Takeda Shingen lick a calf and have deep affection, but because he had something important to report.
But just as she was about to speak, Takeda Reina, who was far away just now, suddenly turned around and crawled over. She held Takeda Shingen's arm with both hands and stood up shakily.
Takeda Shingen was afraid that she would fall, so he carefully supported her. Takeda Reina shouted inarticulately while exerting her strength.
"Mommy mommy.."
Takeda Shingen looked doting on his face, focusing entirely on his lovely daughter, and immediately left Takeda Shinken aside.
After a while, she turned back proudly and showed off to Takeda Xinren.
"This kid can already call people. Do you think he's awesome?"
Takeda Xinlian smiled awkwardly and nodded in agreement.
Gu Huan
"awesome.."
Seeing that Takeda Shingen was extremely embarrassed, Takeda Shingen raised his eyebrows and smiled, held his daughter in his arms, shook it gently, and asked.
"What's the matter with coming here today?"
Takeda Nobuyan said.
“Bad news has come from Kitashinano.
Speaking of the caravans traveling to and from Zenkojihei, Naoetsu seems to be adjusting its policy on cheap goods towards Zenkojihei, and the price of goods is said to have increased by at least 30%.
There is also coarse salt that was provided for free before, but I heard that the agreement will be terminated. Because it was originally decided by Oitai to postpone the profit sharing for another year, and now it's almost time.
In addition, Touha Shinobu heard some bad rumors in Kanto, saying that the Uesugi family and the Hojo family had formed an alliance, which might be detrimental to my Takeda family. "
Takeda Shingen pointed to the letter on the desk next to him and said.
“It’s not a rumor, it’s a fact.
Hojo Ujiyasu wrote to me, saying how difficult it was for her, and that the Vietcong alliance's actions against the Takeda family were not her original intention, and she asked for my understanding.
Teruhora Uesugi was not doing well, so he tried hard at Sekishu, but suddenly he turned his gun and came at me. Hojo Uyasu couldn't figure it out either, and there was a lot of probing in the letter.
The Lion of Sagami didn't want to miss the opportunity to make peace with the Uesugi family, and he didn't want to offend me too much, so he wrote a letter to explain how he was really cunning. "
Seeing Takeda Shinren's worried face and frowning at the letter, Takeda Shingen smiled.
“You don’t have to worry too much.
During this year, my family recuperated and did not engage in war. Although the prosperity of Suruga Country is not as good as before, the production of salt fields and fisheries has almost recovered.
With the Suruga Saltworks and the salt from Uesugi Teruhu, I no longer care about it.
As for the Vietnam-Tang alliance? That was wishful thinking on her part.
Without the constraints of the Uesugi family, the Hojo family will definitely expand to the Boso Peninsula. How could Hojo Ujiyasu be used by Uesugi Terutora to take advantage of the strong bones of our Takeda family?
The Imagawa family is really in Izu country. If Hojo Uyasu returns to Suruga country, will the Hojo family take over this land for themselves? Or belong to the Imagawa family?
The Takeda family and the Tokugawa family are in opposition, and our hands and feet are tied to the Tokaido. The Hojo family has no worries and can develop eastward with peace of mind.
Is Hojo Uyasu really willing to be coerced by Terutora Uesugi? Did you jump into the quagmire of Tokaido?
She was just being perfunctory. "
The old-fashioned Hojo Ujiyasu is not the Hojo Ushimasa, so he is not that easy to use. Through the Vietnam Alliance, the Hojo family has successfully alienated the relationship between the Uesugi family and the Kanhachishu samurai family.
Uesugi Teruhora made a dead move. The Uesugi family has been ostracized by the Kanbazhou samurai family, and it will be difficult to have the same phenomenon of sweeping Kanbazhou.
Takeda Shingen was not afraid of Uesugi Terutora, who was betrayed by everyone. She spoke eloquently and scolded Fang Qiu, as if she had everything under control.
But Takeda Shinken secretly glanced at Takeda Rena who had fallen asleep in Takeda Shingen's arms.
Takeda Shingen's analysis is very correct and very inspiring. But she managed to avoid one question without leaving any trace: why did Teru Uesugi suddenly fall out?
The Uesugi-Takeda family's strategy of attacking the Hojo family was a strong agreement made by both sides after learning about each other's strength after the battle of Kawanakajima.
This strategy has already shown its value when Takeda conquered Suruga and Uesugi went south to Kanto.
The strategic cooperation between the Uesugi family and the Takeda family was very successful. Why did Teru Uesugi tear up the tacit understanding between the two parties and instead cooperate with the Hojo family, who had fierce conflicts in Kanhachishu?
Takeda Nobuyan had a vague premonition that there was no airtight wall in this world, and Takeda Rena's life experience might have been spread out.
Uesugi Teru's love for Shiba Yoshigan is not a secret. She knew about Rena Takeda's life experience and fell out with the Takeda family. It was understandable and easy to deal with.
But if Yoshigan Shiba learns about the tragic humiliation that year and leaves behind such an evil obstacle, the Takeda family will really be in trouble.
Today's Shiba Yoshigan is no longer the Shiba Yoshigan during the Battle of Kawanakajima.
Fighting at Shinano, pacifying Yuezhong, going down to Kanto, winning the imperial white flag at Hachimangu Palace, running thousands of miles back to Jinji, going up to Luo to put an end to the chaos, and the world admired him.
After a series of dazzling battles, Shiba Yiyin's reputation has soared into the sky.
Takeda Nobuyan doesn't know what the Kansai people think of Shiba Yoshigan. But in the hearts of the Takeda family and the Kanto warrior family, he is like a god descending to earth!
Takeda Shingen stained the Shiba Yoshiyin and stole the blood of the Shiba family. This matter is not trivial.
Takeda Xinlian was really afraid that one day, the Takeda family would be wiped out because of this incident.
But looking at Takeda Shingen talking freely, changing the subject, and pretending to be confused, Takeda Noburen didn't have the courage to expose his powerful eldest sister to her face.
———
He sent Takeda Xinlian away, blocking her words in her throat and not daring to speak. Takeda Shingen looked at Takeda Reina sleeping in his arms, with a hint of maternal brilliance on his face.
From the moment Rena Takeda was born, the future of the Takeda family has changed.
To Takeda Shingen, Takeda Shinken's worries are really ridiculous.
Although he only got along with Shiba Yoshigan for a few days, in the following years, Takeda Shingen has been collecting information about Shiba Yoshigan through various channels.
The person who knows you best may not be your friend or lover, but your enemy.
Takeda Shingen didn't want to become Shiba Yoshigan's enemy, but she had lost the possibility of becoming Shiba Yoshigan's lover.
In Yantian City, the moment she ordered the concubines to dirty Sibo Yiyin, she lost the qualification to love him.
But this did not prevent Takeda Shingen from getting to know this boy, the man who made her heart beat. Takeda Shingen even believed that he was the person who understood Shiba Yoshigan best in the world.
Takeda Nobuyan's idea is wrong. Shiba Yoshigan will never harm Takeda Rena's daughter. He does not live like a person in this world.
His kindness, his justice, his contradictions, and his entanglements have proven time and time again his disgust for the cold and utilitarian society of the Wu family.
The bond between father and daughter is natural. Takeda Shingen looked at the child in his arms and firmly believed that Yoshigan Shiba would love this daughter very much.
Even if he deeply hates himself as a bad woman who humiliated him, Shiba Yiyin will definitely love his daughter deeply.
The Sibo family was ruined, and Sibo Yiyin was completely alone, living alone in the turbulent times. From the intelligence of Shiba Yoshiyin, Takeda Shingen felt a deep sense of loneliness.
Perhaps because of the loss of his family, or perhaps for other reasons, Shiba Yiyin is not like a normal martial artist, but more like a flesh-and-blood idealist.
A lonely, emotional person, would he hurt his children who are related by blood? Will he sever his only bond with the world?
No, the danger to the Takeda family can come from anyone, but it will never come from Yoshigan Shiba.
Takeda Shingen looked into the distance, his eyes filled with the pride of a winner.
Even though he was as noble as a general, he couldn't get him, and he couldn't leave a son and a half of his daughter. I won, I won everyone.
Uesugi Teruhu's rebellion, huh, is just the cry of a defeated dog.
Takeda Shingen already knew in his heart that the future of the Takeda family was either to break out of the siege and seize the world by himself. Either that or that. . you. . my daughter.
