Uesugi Teruhu's eyes flashed and he asked.

"I remember that the governor of the Ashina family only left a two-year-old daughter. The Date family and the Satake family were all coveting the Ashina family in the four Aizu counties, and there was a big quarrel."

Yiyin said.

"Our ninjas are mostly collecting intelligence in Kanhachishu, but they don't know much about the Ou area, so the information is brief and unknown.

It’s just that the Satake family is in a difficult situation, and in the dispute between the four Aizu counties, it seems that the Date family has the upper hand.”

Terutora Uesugi smiled.

"This Date Masamune is quite interesting. He has enemies on all sides and is not afraid of getting into trouble."

Yoshigan gave Uesugi Terutora a rolling look, she was a troublemaker herself, how could she have the nerve to talk to others?

Uesugi Teruhora seemed to understand what Yoshigan meant, smiled awkwardly, and changed the subject.

"How will Tsutado-don plan to respond to the Osaki and Mogami families?"

Yiyin said.

"Of course I want to find a way to help them. After all, we are all members of the Spo family. It is rare for someone to come to their door if they need anything. I can't refuse people thousands of miles away."

Terutora Uesugi nodded to express his understanding.

When many things that are thousands of miles away and have nothing to do with him begin to come to his door one by one, it means that Yiyin's influence has attracted the attention of the distant martial arts family.

At this time, the worst way to deal with it is to refuse. Influence and voice are invisible and intangible, but they are real.

The Osaki family and the Mogami family may not take this matter seriously, but because they have nothing to lose if they fail, they thought of giving it a try and wrote to this cheap relative, Yoshihiro Shiba, for help.

After all, they are all side branches of the Shiba clan. In theory, the clan has the obligation to stand up for their relatives. Although the Shiba clan has been destroyed, Yoshigan's status as the legitimate son of the clan is real.

If Yiyin ignores them, the relationship between the two parties will return to the previous state, where they were inseparable despite being of the same race.

But if Yoshigami can exert his strength, make Date Masamune feel the pressure, and make the Ou family take a new look at the strength of the Shiba family, then his influence will truly enter the Ou area.

As the saying goes, if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives, but if you are poor in the city, no one cares about you. The relationship between people may be that simple.

When Yiyin was in despair, no one in the Shiba family looked at him seriously, let alone did anything for him. How could a surviving son who stood up to Gil have the qualifications to speak on behalf of the clan?

But as he gradually reaches the pinnacle of power, all kinds of people will approach him for various reasons.

From a utilitarian point of view, they are just using Yiyin, but there is no such thing as taking advantage without suffering any losses.

Forces interact. If there is an action force, there must be a reaction force.

When the Ou samurai family wanted to use Yoshigan to resist the erosion of the Date family, Yoshigan was also using their demands to further increase his influence among the samurai family.

At this point of Yiyin, he has become a symbol of absolute justice, embarked on the path of Shinto, and used the new ideas of the Wu family to create a new voice for justice.

If one day, when the Wu family is fighting, they will immediately think of going to Yiyin, the patron saint of the Wu family, to arbitrate disputes, fight for a decision that is beneficial to them before him, and obey the result.

Yiyin may surpass the concept of people in the world and become the true ruler of the world of the Wu family.

At this time, Yoshigan and Uesugi Terutora had not yet thought of such a far-reaching idea. However, if the influence of the Echigo forces could be expanded to the Ou area, they would both be happy to see it.

Teru Uesugi asked.

"How do Tsudo-don want to help them?"

Yiyin said.

"I myself said that I sympathized with the severe drought in Kanto and asked Ashikaga Yoshiji to issue a decree of peace in Kanto. Naturally, I couldn't slap myself in the face and intervene in the Ou dispute.

But I can write a reply to the Mogami and Osaki families, praising them for their righteous actions in supporting the Kanto War.

Write another open letter to Date Masamune, explaining to her that peace in Kanto in the face of disaster is the appeal of all samurai families in Kanto, and I hope she will not stand against the righteousness of the samurai family."

Teruhora Uesugi chuckled.

"Date Masamune is young and energetic, and has never suffered a big loss. She will probably not follow your righteousness, and may even become rebellious."

Yiyin said calmly.

"Be polite before fighting. Although I will not intervene in the disputes between Ou and Yu, there will always be righteous people who are not angry and will attack unjust people with righteousness."

Teru Uesugi asked with a smile.

"I'm curious, where do such righteous men come from who understand justice so well?"

Yiyin said.

"Didn't Satake Yoshige say that she has no intention of fighting against the Kanto system? Isn't the grouping of the people of the East aimed at you and me?

In this case, she must show some sincerity to make you and me feel at ease, right?"

Teru Uesugi nodded.

"It makes sense."

Ever since the Emperor's court, the Hitachi Kingdom has been the bridgehead for the Kazu clan to open up the Ou region. In ancient times, they fought against the local hairy people, but now they are not conquering the enemy.

Satake Yoshitsune of Hitachi Province coveted the four Aizu prefectures of Ashimei, but he and Date Masamune fought several times but failed to gain the upper hand.

Now she is squeezed from both sides by the Hojo family in the south and the Date family in the north, so she is very passive strategically.

It was precisely for this reason that she joined the Oriental Crowd and sought unity. As a result, she offended Uesugi Teruhora and had to beg Yoshigan for mercy.

If Yoshigami hinted that she was in trouble with Date Masamune, she would definitely be willing to do so.

Wrapped in the name of Yoshigan, she headed north. Uesugi Teruhora behind her would not touch her, and the Hojo family did not dare to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, lest they offend Yoshigan.

Satake Yoshige was able to break out of the passive situation of being attacked by the Date family and the Hojo family, and formed a favorable situation in which he joined forces with the Mogami Osaki family and the three families besieged the Date family.

You can't even ask for such a good thing, how could she miss it? She would probably cry and shout to be a righteous man like this, right?

The Echigo forces of Yoshigan and Uesugi Terutora are preparing to rest and recuperate for a few years, leaving the Samurai Giri Promotion Association to be the main force in infiltrating Kanhachishu, and will not use weapons for the time being.

Since we have no intention of causing trouble with the people in the East, we might as well make use of it.

Letting the Satake family, the strongest among the Oriental people, go north to rescue the Osaki Mogami family and increase Yiyin's influence in the Ou area, it is a double kill.

But this is not enough, the Date family is too strong, and Yiyin needs to add some ingredients.

he said.

"There are two trade routes in the Shimotsu area, one goes north to Shonai, and the other goes through the Aga River and goes to the four Aizu prefectures by water. Honjo Shigenaga has made a lot of money on these two trade routes, right?"

Uesugi Teruhora had a grudge against Honjo Nobanaga, so he couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said.

"It's not like you deliberately gave her a chance to bring this banker back to life and make things prosperous."

Honjo Shigenaga made a big mistake in the Battle of Kawanakajima, but Yoshigan deliberately picked her out in order to divide the Yangbei Zhong Group in Shimonosetsu.

Shinbada Shigeke was hacked to death by Shimakatsu with a sharp knife, and Minister Se was left to sit on the bench in Beixin. Only Honjo Shigenaga acted like a normal person, and was ostracized by the people of Yangbei.

This incident left Honjo Nomoncho with no way out. Later, during the Xinfatian Rebellion, she devoted herself to helping Yiyin tear the Yangbeizhong Group into pieces to avoid being liquidated by her old comrades in the future.

After the rebellion was over, the Yangbei clan disappeared, and the village became notorious among the Xiayue warriors. The reward Yiyin gave to the village was the right to manage the trade routes in the village.

The main castle of the main village is located in the northernmost part of the Shimotsu region, adjacent to the Shonai region of Dewa Province.

The prosperity of the Hokuriku Road allowed the Echigo forces to take the lead in Kanto Logistics. Honjo Shigenaga also used this small trade route leading to Shonai to distribute profits and try to restore old friendship with the Shimogotsu samurai family.

After that, Yamanaka Yukimori wanted to borrow troops and return to Koto with Yoshigan, so he promised great benefits to Kaji Keizuna and Honjo Shigenaga. Among them, Honjo Shigenaga was given the right to supervise the Agagawa trade route.

The water transport route of the Agagawa River is one of the three main trade routes from Echigo Kingdom to various parts of Kanto, and it has huge benefits.

Along the trade route, the Wu family made a lot of money by taking advantage of oil and gas. Since Fan Chang of the village had the right to supervise the operation of the trade route, the local Wu family naturally wanted to share the benefits with her and establish a good relationship with her.

After this back and forth, the life of our banker in Xiayue is getting better and better, and our status is even higher than during the Yangbeizhong period. Our banker Fanchang has not been used as a dog by Sibo Yiyin in vain.

Yoshigan smiled and said to Terutora Uesugi.

"You, be more generous and stop worrying about those things back then.

We are a capable man, and our business in Xiayue has been quite good in the past few years. We raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. Isn’t it just the right time to put them to use?"

Terutora Uesugi was not complaining about Honjo Shigencho's several rebellions and causing trouble for her. She was resentful that these Shimogotsu Odai people abandoned their master and fled during the Battle of Kawanakajima, causing Yoshigan to fall into the hands of Takeda Shingen.

The evil son of Takeda Shingen was a deep thorn in her heart. She originally wanted to unite with the Hojo family to attack Takeda Shingen and kill that bitch and her evil son.

But it happened that Yoshigan initiated a strategic shift in the Kanto Quiet War, and wanted to follow the soft-knife route of the Samurai Giri Promotion Association.

Forced by the situation, Uesugi Teruhora couldn't bring up the attack on the Takeda family anymore. Because she couldn't explain to Yoshigami why she suddenly changed her face towards Takeda Shingen and hated her to the core.

Uesugi Teruhora didn't want Yoshigan to know about Takeda's evildoing, and even acquiesced in Yoshigan's killing of Irobu Minoru, temporarily blocking the source of the news.

And Honjo Shigenaga was one of the main culprits who caused Yoshigan to fall into the clutches of Takeda Shingen. How could Uesugi Terutora be attracted to her?

But at this time, Uesugi Teruhu didn't want to continue this topic with Yoshigami, so he asked instead.

"Do you want Honjo Noganaga to help?"

Yiyin said.

"I just have a backup plan to be on the safe side.

The Shimoyoshi people and the Ou area are already inextricably linked, which makes it easy to provide support if something goes wrong.

Honjo Nobunaga's identity is only a royal member of the Kanto Palace, who unites the war effort. He is not a retainer of Shiba, nor is he a member of the Kwan Hachishu samurai family.

She has to make her own decisions and act in accordance with the righteousness. She does not abide by the imperial order that there should be no war in Kanto. This is morally justified and does not break the rules."
