Yiyin glanced at Dao Shengmeng and sighed.
"You can talk, what? They asked you to help intercede?"
Dao Shengmeng smiled slightly.
"The power of the king is too frightening. Daxiong Chaohide kept his mouth shut after returning from Naoetsu. Honjo Shigenaga and Kaji Kagetsuna also waved the flag and shouted a few words. Can you not be afraid?
You asked me to serve as the head of the united front of the Guandong Shifu. When these colleagues who are also members of the united front come to bother me, I have to give them a few words of help, otherwise it will be difficult to get along with them in the future.
Do you think this is true? "
Yiyin said helplessly.
“If I had known today, why bother in the beginning.
All of them are narrow-minded and don't look like they are capable of doing big things. The Uesugi family is unlucky, but the Kanto Palace has a good life?
Don't pay attention to them. Before and after the autumn harvest, Yamazaka will bring the Echihime samurai back to Echigo country, so that she can teach these unhappy subordinates a lesson. "
Yoshihiro's tone seemed to be that he hated Honjo Shigenaga and others, but there was a hint of warning to Shima Shengmeng.
The power of the Guandong Palace is divided into three parts: the big bear is showing off, the mountains are prosperous, and the island is powerful, each leading the way.
Ohkuma Asahide controls the shrine, participates in the Hokurikudo trade route, and manages the internal affairs of the Kanto shrine.
Yamanaka Yukimori is the deacon of the Kanto Shifu, and he controls the Tomei Castle in Central Vietnam and the Xiayue people who are mainly from Otai.
Shima Shengmu is the acting official of Shiba in Kanto, and also serves as the head of the united front, with the power to coordinate the powerful military families from all over the Kanto Shifu.
The three pillars are originally the best.
But now, Sanada Nobushige has captured half of Nishi Ueno, and his power suddenly surges, catching Yoshigan off guard.
While Yamanaka Yukimori was away in Kanto, Shima Katsume had close contacts with the Odai people under Yamanaka Yukimori's command, which forced Yoshigami to give her a word of caution.
Daosheng Meng nodded respectfully.
"What Tsutama said is true, but I can't push it too far.
During the spring and summer, in the name of uniting the war effort, I just called on the ladies to go south to rescue His Highness Uesugi who was trapped in the lower capital. All the ladies took the overall situation into consideration and enthusiastically sent out troops.
Honjo Shigenaga and Kachi Kagetsuna came to visit me this time, and it was inconvenient for me to turn them away. It seemed too cold and not conducive to unity. "
What Shima Shengmeng said was reasonable, and Yiyin could only nod in approval.
The United Front is an honorary status given by Yoshigan to the powerful local warriors in the Kanto Palace, similar to the Ashikaga Shogun's companions.
Shima Katsuki is the acting official of the Shiba family in the Kanto territory. He has the honor of being the chief of the United Front. Similar to the shogunate's imperial companion, he has the power to coordinate and mediate the affairs of the United Front.
Shimoso-goku was defeated. If Shima Katsuo hadn't persuaded all parties to unite and send troops, Uesugi Teruhora's losses would have been much worse than they were now. In this matter, Dao Shengmeng was meritorious.
She is the chief of the United Front, and she asks everyone to send troops when necessary. When not necessary, she cannot turn her back on others, otherwise no one will take care of her in the future.
Yiyin knew clearly that she was poaching Yamanaka Yukimori and secretly made friends with Yutai people, but she blocked him completely and shook his head helplessly.
"Anyway...you know it yourself."
"Hi!"
Dao Shengmeng bowed slightly to show his submission, but he didn't agree in his heart.
She actually didn't take Yamanaka Yukimori seriously. If it weren't for the Lord's protection, Yamanaka Yukimori would have been ignored by her long ago.
But looking down on him, he looks down on him. Yamanaka Yukimori also has his own advantages, which is difficult to shake. She is not very capable, but she is too old to be able to stand up to her.
The first batch of Ji warriors who followed the lord, the first Tongxinzhongbi, the first deacon of the Kanto Palace, and a favorite known to all the Jis.
From Konki to Kanto, how many comrades, juniors, and old subordinates there are. Coupled with the lord's favor and trust, Nizi Shanzhong, a group of warriors from the Western Kingdom, is a party, and Yukimori Yamanaka is simply a model of winning without hesitation.
Shima Shengmeng never thought of wooing Honshu Nobunaga and Kaji Jingzuna over. As long as the master still favors Yamanaka Yukimori for one day, these sly Shimoyuezhong will not abandon Yamanaka Yukimori.
To say a few words to them was just out of Dao Shengmeng's need to unite the united front.
Going south to rescue Terutora Uesugi made Shima Katsuruo see the value of the title of Chief of the United Front.
She only has the Dahu Territory, but she is able to mobilize more than half of the Kanto Palace's power that is ten times her own. This position is indeed useful and deserves her cherishment.
Yiyin also knew that Dao Shengmeng was a sensible person and knew how to measure things. He made a point and said nothing more.
He brought the topic back and said.
"I didn't intend to embarrass the two of you in this village. I will give them a few scoldings later and let them take it back. Just ask them to show you a favor.
On the contrary, I was a little embarrassed about Sanada Nobushige. Kamizumi Sword Master and I have an old relationship, and Sanada Nobushige went too far this time.
I originally had the intention of letting Nagano Yamori return to Nishi Ueno to teach Sanada Nobunshige a lesson. It's just that now that the Takeda family members are provoking a side provocation, the timing is not right.
But if we don't give an explanation to Nagano Yamori, we will be sorry for the deceased Sword Master Kamizumi. "
Shima Sheng laughed fiercely.
"Since your Majesty is in a dilemma, why don't you listen to Sword Master Shangquan's thoughts?"
Yiyin frowned, suddenly realized, and asked.
"Did Sword Master Kamizumi leave any last words before his death?"
Daosheng nodded fiercely and presented a letter with both hands. Yiyin took it and opened it, scanning the letter at a glance, then looked up at Dao Shengmeng.
"Do you know the content of the letter?"
Shima Sheng nodded fiercely.
"Kamiizumi Sword Master asked me to deliver a letter to you, and she did mention some things to me. She seems to hope that Nagano Yamori can join the Tongxinzhong."
Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"This old sword master is really..."
He wanted to say that he would not let me live in peace even if he died, but the words came to his lips and he couldn't say them out.
During the Hokurikudo breakout, Ueizumi Nobutsuna, a celebrity who returned home to retire, had no obligation to participate in the battle, but she still chose to stay.
Although both Yoshigan and Uesugi Terutora knew that she had some selfish intentions, the old swordsman's mind was indeed much broader than that of most of the fussy Hime warriors.
This time, the reason why the old sword master died was because he had considered the long-term friendship with Nagano Yamasa and tried his best to save the daughter of his deceased friend.
She was of noble character and deserved to die. The deceased was the most important person, so Yiyin had the nerve to complain. The old sword master's request was actually the best way out for Nagano Yamori.
Yoshihiro and Nagano are not familiar with each other and have no obligation to continue to work hard for her family business.
He wanted to send Nagano Yamori back to Nishi Ueno. On the one hand, it was for the sake of the old sword master, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use the remaining influence of the Nagano family in Minawa City to check and balance Sanada Nobushige.
But returning to Nishi Ueno, Nagano Yamori himself has to take a lot of risks.
Today's Nishi Ueno is the world of Sanada Nobushige and Obata Nobusada.
Kobata Nobusada was expelled from Nishi Ueno by Nagano Yamasa. He didn't dare to come back until Nagano Yamasa was dead. He had a lot of hatred for the Nagano family in his heart.
Sanada Nobushige, who was small and powerful, occupied the territory of Minawa Castle, and was even more wary of the influence of Nagano Yashimaru, the legitimate daughter of the Nagano family in Minwa Castle.
The basic base of the Sanada clan is the Shino clan of Azuma County. As the old rulers, the Minawa clan will definitely be suppressed by the new upstarts.
When Nagano Yamori returns to Nishi Ueno, he will inevitably become a banner of the opposition and be used as a weapon.
Before Nobutsuna Kamizumi died, he must have thought of this possibility, so he tried his best to plead with Yoshihiro to send Nagano Yamori to the Dozen Sect.
The Doshinzu was a member of the Yoshiin clan, and Nagano Yamori joined the Doshinzu and stayed away from Nishi Ueno. Even if Sanada Nobushige and Obata Nobusada wanted to eradicate the situation, they did not dare to act unruly under Yoshigan's nose.
In this way, the blood of the Nagano family can be preserved, and Ueizumi Nobutsuna can be regarded as worthy of Nagano Yamasa, an old friend.
Yoshigan shook his head. Kamiizumi Nobutsuna had no intention of hiding it from him. He just kept pleading in a low voice in the letter. It was also his last words before his death. Yoshigan couldn't refuse.
He thought for a while and asked Xiangdao Shengmeng.
"Where is Nagano Yamori now? Have you ever gotten to know her?"
Shima Sheng bowed fiercely.
"She is waiting outside, waiting for your Majesty's arrangements. This person is young, has strong martial arts skills, has an open temper, and is a good prospect."
Yiyin's mouth twitched, sounding like an honest child.
No wonder Ueizumi Nobutsuna was afraid that he would send her back to Nishi Ueno. An honest man could not defeat the sinister Princess samurai such as Sanada Nobushige and Obata Nobusada.
he said.
"It sounds like you have a low opinion of her."
Shima Shengmeng said.
"The heir to the Nagano family was supposed to be her eldest sister, but unfortunately she died on the battlefield of the night battle in Kawagoe and was beheaded by the Hojo family.
Nagano Yemori is still young and lacks experience. She cannot be blamed for the defeat of Minawa City this time.
I have chatted with her several times and she is a good Ji warrior. If the master is willing to support and cultivate her, I think she can be used. "
Yoshigan glanced at Shima Katsuru in surprise. At first, he thought that Shima Katsuru was being polite for Kamizumi Nobutsuna's sake, but he didn't expect that Shima Katsuru was sincerely recommending Nagano Yoshimori to him.
Yiyin thought for a while and said.
"Tongxinzhong is being reorganized recently, and will take on more important responsibilities in the future. New personnel should not be brought in at this time to cause trouble to Kamoji.
But this is Sword Master Kamiizumi's last entrustment before his death, so I will accept her. I won't see anyone today and let her report to Kamoji. "
Dao Shengmeng bowed slightly to express his understanding. She strongly recommended Nagano Yasumai, but she also had her own selfish motives.
The recent actions in Sibo's family were not small. The establishment of Sibo Zhong Fund, the launch of Sibo's new life movement, the expansion of the authority of the Tongxin people, and the documents coming from the family dazzled her.
Shima Shengmeng couldn't quite understand many of Yiyin's timeless measures, but she could vaguely feel that the expansion of the Tongxinzhong's power was a threat to the Sibo territories everywhere.
There has always been a hidden danger in Sibo's family, that is, the territory is scattered and local ministers have too much power. The expansion of Tongxinzhong was probably a means for the ruler to check and balance local forces.
Naturally, Shima Shengteng would not think of opposing her lord's decision, but as the leader of the local Shiba leader samurai group, she also had a sense of crisis.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna came to seek refuge with Nagano Yamori, but he passed away soon after. These days, Shima Katsuki has taken great care of Nagano Yamori, and strongly recommends her to join the Tongxin Group. This is a deliberate act of kindness.
From the perspective of Shima Katsumaru who has seen people for many years, Nagano Yashimori is a capable and loyal warrior. By providing help in times of need, this friendship can be maintained for a long time for the future.
Dao Shengmeng looked at the Lord carefully and thought to himself. I don't have disloyal intentions, I just hope to have a reliable person in the center so that I can be loyal to the Sibo family.
Yoshigami didn't know that his loyal general had Xiao Jiujiu hidden in his heart. Due to Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's favor and Shima Katsuo's strong recommendation, he decided to accept Nagano Yashimai.
The Tongxin Group has not yet expanded, and Nagano Yasumai has become the core member who finally entered the group. He should be able to enter the Tongxin Secretariat, which is also a good fortune. This favor from Kamiizumi Nobutsuna was given enough face by Yoshigami.
He said after talking about Nagano Yashimai's placement.
"Call Honjō Shigenacho, Kaige Tsuna, and Sanada Nobunari."
"Hi!"
———
Dahu City, Sanada Nobushige's temporary residence.
Yuri Kamanosuke leaned against the doorpost, lowering his head and dozing off. Suddenly, a slap hit her on the head, causing her to stagger.
"What the hell...huh? Lord, are you back?"
The curse words that Rikanosuke blurted out were swallowed back halfway. The Sanada Nobushige in front of her was obviously in a bad mood, and she didn't want to find fault.
Seeing Yuri Kamanosuke shrink back cautiously, Sanada Nobushige couldn't help but curl his lips. I originally wanted to fish for law enforcement and vent my grievances, but who knew that this woman was very clever, so she had no chance.
Stepping into the courtyard, the Sanada warriors waiting around him stepped forward one by one and bowed. Sanada Nobushige waved his hand to greet everyone and walked into the main hall on his own.
The Sanada clan became prosperous too quickly, and a group of mountain people had no rules at all. They just relied on the spirit of staying together and not being afraid of death to fight their way out.
Even at this time, the territory under Sanada Nobunaga's command already amounted to 40,000 to 50,000 koku, but the laws in the family were still very lax and did not form the strict respectability of a high-ranking family.
Sanada Nobushige sat down on the main seat, fanned himself with his hand, and shouted.
"Someone bring me a cup of tea! It's so hot in this damn weather!"
Umino Riichi had already walked up to her seat with a cup of tea. Sanada Nobushige was still angry. Facing Umino Riichi, a young girl with nothing, he still didn't dare to lose his temper. He took it and drank it obediently.
The weather in autumn is getting cooler day by day, and Sanada Nobushige is still feeling angry. Umino Riichi asked coldly.
"Isn't the process of meeting Tsudo-den not going well?"
Sanada Nobunaga took a sip of tea, breathed out, and sighed.
"Face, I've lost all my face."
The Sanada warriors who were kneeling over looked at each other in confusion. Sanada Nobunaga raised his eyebrows and said angrily.
"Tsudaden casually dismissed Honjō Shigenaga, added a few words to Kiki Tsuna, and then started to point his nose at me and scold me for my misbehavior. In front of all my colleagues, he didn't spare any face for me.
After all, I also helped the Kanto Secretariat obtain the land of Nishi Ueno. Is it a merit or demerit?
That dead ghost Nagano Yasumasa is only superficially respectful to Tsutama. The land of Nishi Ueno is in the hands of her daughter. How can it be reassuring to put it in my hands?
Do you think this is true? "
Seeing her complaining endlessly, Umino glanced at her coldly and said.
"To talk about the important point, what arrangements did Tsutado-den make for Nagano Yamori? Have you been granted the security certificate for Minawa Castle?"
Sanada Nobushige's complaints came to an abrupt end. She respected and feared Umino Riichi as a strategist, so she had no choice but to answer.
"Nagano Yoshimori has entered the community."
Umino Ri's eyes narrowed and became even colder.
