Shiba Yoshigan couldn't help but look at Uesugi Teruhora in a new light. She really put her heart into dealing with the matter of Akai Terukage in Tatebayashi City.
It was rare that she had the patience to use political means to deal with it, instead of waving her hand, surrounding the Echigo army and passing over, and solving the problem simply and crudely.
Yiyin praised.
"Your Majesty Uesugi has a good intention, and this plan is very clever."
Terutora Uesugi smiled proudly and looked at Yoshigan affectionately.
"Gong Qianxin's ridiculous praise is nothing more than clowns, not worth mentioning. They are seeking their own death if they stand in the way of your and my great cause."
Yiyin stayed calm and avoided her loving eyes, feeling troubled in his heart.
With Sano leading the battle to a close with a great victory, Echigo's Kanto strategy finally took a solid step towards success.
This battle not only inspired the hearts of Echigo and shocked the Kanto samurai family, but also made Terutora Uesugi's mind active. Her attitude towards Yoshigan became more and more ambiguous, and her looming possessiveness made Yoshigan very embarrassed.
If he sternly refuses directly and shows his face to Uesugi Teruhu, this proud second-generation rich man has a strong self-esteem and there is no telling what he will do.
But if she is allowed to be unbridled and any clues are spread, I don't know how many rumors will be attracted, which will be of no benefit to Sibo Yiyin.
His reputation comes from his sword, and from Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the shogun. The Kanto Attendant occupies the convenience of Daiyi, and it is really easy to use.
Although Yoshigami has no intention of marrying Ashikaga Yoshiteru, he still has to maintain the chaste image of the Odaisho until his wings are full and the dust of the Kanto Strategy settles.
The matter of cuckolding Ashikaga Yoshiki was a big stain politically, as it would provide excuses for political opponents. Yoshigine glanced at the self-satisfied Uesugi Teruhu, and he did not believe that she did not understand this truth.
Of course Terutora Uesugi knew that she did it on purpose. In her opinion, with the smooth progress of the Kanto strategy, the time for Uesugi Shiba to join forces was ripe.
Originally, Terutora Uesugi did not take the Kanto Palace in his eyes, and gave Yoshigashi Shiba a face, which was also a channel for him to share Echigo's power.
Unexpectedly, in just two years, this shogunate organization has expanded rapidly, and now it seems that it is in serious trouble.
Yoshigan Shiba used Ashikaga Yoshiteru's sword to rebuild the Kato shrine. This institution truly has the status of shogunate.
If Uesugi Teru wants to get married to Yoshiki Shiba, he must first go through the shogunate. The shogunate relies on the majesty of Ashikaga Shogun to rule the world, and it is impossible to tolerate someone cuckolding Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
Marrying Ashikaga Shogun's Odaisho would bring even greater disgrace to the shogunate than driving Ashikaga Shogun out of Kyoto. If the leader of the samurai family couldn't even keep his own man, how could he have the dignity to rule the world?
Originally, Terutora Uesugi didn't care what the shogunate thought. Kanto has always been an independent kingdom and has alienated relations with the recent Kyoto shogunate.
If she can capture the territory of the Eight Prefectures, her power will grow. Ashikaga Yoshiki himself will be responsible for whether the leader of the Wu family is dyed green.
But now, with the rise of the Kanto Secretariat in the Kanto Strategy, this matter is a little troublesome. As the branch of the shogunate in Kanto, the Kanto Secretariat Samurai family is living in spite of the righteousness of the shogunate.
Uesugi Yoshigan was married to Uesugi Teruhora, and Uesugi Shiba merged with him. This was a good thing for the Uesugi family, and not bad for the Uesugi family, but it was a bolt from the blue for the Kanto Shrine.
Counting the samurai families in the Kanto Palace, most of them were fringe samurai families that the Echigo and Uesugi families could not deal with. They were appeased and taken away by Yoshigan Shiba, which by the way stabilized the unity within the Echigo samurai group.
Now that they are united in the Kanto Palace, they already have the strength to compete with the Uesugi family. Will these people be willing to be ridden on their heads by the Uesugi family again? Don't dream!
The Kanto Secretariat, where Yoshigan Uesugi relied on for governance, was not willing to see Uesugi Shiba join forces, both in terms of status and emotions, and it became a stumbling block in the eyes of Teru Uesugi.
After realizing that the Kanto Chamber of Commerce would become an obstacle for him to marry Yoshigan Shiba, Uesugi Teruotora's approach gradually began to change.
She no longer controls her feelings and dares to express her love to Yiyin on formal occasions, which is like boiling a frog in warm water.
The samurai group of the Kanto Palace must either accept the reality of Uesugi-Shiba's merger, or wait to be liquidated.
Teruhora Uesugi has this confidence because she is sure from the bottom of her heart that Yoshigoshi Shiba loves her. The two are adulterers... no, they are in a loving relationship.
From Kyoto to Kanto, Shiba Yoshigan fought side by side with her and never gave up on her in the face of numerous difficulties and obstacles.
As a samurai daimyo, this is not normal. There is only one reasonable explanation for this, and that is love. We love because we love each other. Uesugi Teruhu’s confidence comes from the love between the two.
She understood Shiba Yiyin's concerns in her heart. But she believed that her true feelings would surely move Shiba Yiyin and make him let go of his worries and make up his mind to face the future with her.
People's troubles cannot be communicated with each other. If Yoshigami Shiba learns of Uesugi Teruhora's judgment, he will definitely give her two slaps in the face to make her sober up.
If you love a p, Yiyin is helpless.
The system gave Uesugi Teruhora the task of restoring a clear world to Kanto. Yoshihiro was very serious about completing the task at first, but then he gradually realized that something was wrong.
What is the scope of Kanto in the system? In the broad sense, it is east of the Three Passes, or in the narrow sense, it is the land of the Eight Prefectures, including the two countries of Ou and Yu?
What kind of ghost is the Qingming world? Does it count if the Wu family does not fight? Or do we want the people to have food? Or do we want to establish a river crab society?
The more Yiyin thinks about it in the past two years, the more he feels the deep malice of the system. Does this bastard system not want him to complete the task at all? Is it just trying to trick people?
Yiyin was so depressed that he found that he had fallen into too deep a trap, and even if he wanted to turn around and run away, he could not get out.
He has invested too much in Kanto. If he cannot conquer enough territory and distribute enough benefits to the Ji warriors who follow him, the backlash from the Wu family group will tear him to pieces.
The Wu family is like a dog when they are obedient, but at heart they are like a pack of wolves. If you are given favors, you are the father, but if not, you are the grandson. If you really fall out, I will not kill you.
Yoshigan Shiba was unable to get off the horse, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to accompany Terutora Uesugi to complete the Kanto strategy, but this also gave rise to a new problem.
Because the system does not specify the time for completing the task, Yiyin's only feasible response is to maintain the task in an ongoing state. It was unsuccessful, but it did not fail.
This is an impossible task. In order not to be punished by the system, Yoshigan must ensure the life safety of Uesugi Teruhu, let alone break up with her.
This is the reason why he tolerates so much towards Teru Uesugi. This is not called love, it is called helplessness. Because he is afraid that the mission will fail, Yoshigage can only keep compromising and giving in to Uesugi Teru.
Even if one day he gave in to bed and was fucked, he could only endure it. Since he didn't have the capital to quarrel, he could only cry silently and make wormwood quietly.
Although Terutora Uesugi didn't know the real reason why Shiba Yoshigin tolerated her, she did capture the sadness of Yoshigin's balls. When she exerted force on Yoshigin, her balls hurt and she had to give up.
Yiyin cannot part ways with her, the two will always stand together. This bad relationship has no time limit and cannot be broken until death.
———
In the meeting hall of Sano Castle, the two lords were each thinking about their own thoughts.
Uesugi Teruhora also wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue his younger brother, and Yoshigine was worried about how to avoid the incoming attack. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Yiyin shouted quickly.
"Come in."
The sliding door opened, and the mayor of the Pu Sheng clan respectfully walked into the room and saluted the two masters.
Teru Uesugi asked with a displeased expression.
"What happened? Don't you know that I have something important to discuss with Mr. Qianxin?"
Yoshigan Shiba glanced at Terutora Uesugi, dissatisfied with her attitude. This guy was getting more and more excessive, and he definitely did it on purpose.
The leader of the Yoshigan Guards in Kamao clan village, with the same mind and the same writing, Uesugi Teruhora went over to ask Yoshiba Shiba, he really didn't think of himself as an outsider.
Kamoji bowed ceremoniously to admit her mistake, but her eyes were always focused on Shiba Yigen. Of course she knew who was her master, and she could not make any mistakes in the face of great matters of right and wrong.
Seeing that she was sensible, Yiyin felt a little more comfortable and asked softly.
"What happened?"
Kamojigo said.
"At the Imperial Palace, Sano Masatsuna requested to enter the city and come to see you."
Yoshigine glanced at Teru Uesugi next to him, half-smiling but not smiling. Uesugi Teru looked unkind and snorted.
It has been a while since the Sano-led war ended, and Sano Castle is still under the control of the Echigo army.
Uesugi Teruotora was angry that Sano Masatsuna retreated to Karazawa Mountain Castle to avoid the battle when Sano led the battle. Sano Masatsuna asked to see Uesugi Teruotora several times, but she always avoided seeing him.
The governor of the Sano family was also quick-witted, and actually came to Yoshigoshi Shiba to intercede and plead for mercy on the pretext of an audience with the Imperial Household. Although Terutora Uesugi was annoyed, he could not prevent her from visiting the Imperial Household.
Yoshigan thought for a while and said to Terutora Uesugi.
"You left Sano Masatsuna alone for some time, and she was probably extremely panicked.
If I don't see her again, if I have something to think about, I will cause trouble again."
Uesugi Teruhora hummed.
"This guy took three thousand koku from us before he was willing to raise the banner of justice. The Hojo clan invaded the Sano territory, and we sent troops to rescue her to show our utmost kindness.
But it would be better for her to hide in Karazawa Mountain Castle and watch us fight to the death with the Hojo army. She is despicable and shameless!"
The Hojo army defeated the Sano Territory, and Hojo Ushimasa fled with the remaining army, leaving a trace of vitality for the Hojo family and making Uesugi Terutora very angry.
If Hojo Ujimasa was left in the Sano Territory and the entire Hojo army was wiped out, the current situation in Kanto would be different. Hojo Ujiyasu would not have the confidence to cause trouble again, so he could only kneel down and beg for a way out.
The Sano leaders joined forces to fight, and the Hojo clan was able to escape smoothly. The biggest reason was that the Hojo clan's generals, Shigeomi, were not afraid of death and blocked the way for the retreat of the army.
Secondly, it was Uesugi Teruhora's central force that pulled her hips. At the critical moment, the elite personnel she was proud of were afraid of repeating the mistakes of the Battle of Kawanakajima, and wanted to preserve their strength.
As soon as people like Kakizaki Keie and Saito Asanobu fell out of control, Uesugi Terutora instantly lost his face. The Kanto Service Station on the northern front made the final decision, which made the elite Uesugi of the Chinese Army even more embarrassed.
This was an unspeakable shame for Uesugi Teruhora, but she could not admit it yet. The Kanto Secretariat had become an obstacle to Uesugi Shiba's confluence, how could she boost their morale and destroy her own prestige.
Fortunately, Irobu fought hard and defeated Tominaga Yasukage and Toyama Tsunkage who refused to retreat on the southern front, thus saving some face for the Uesugi family.
It was mentioned in the post-war record that someone must be responsible for the successful escape of the Hojo Ujimasa. After all the blame was taken, Sano Masatsuna could only bear the blame.
The Sano family governor, who took three thousand koku of Echigo's grain but only hid in Karazawa Mountain Castle and pretended to be dead, became the chief culprit.
This is not an injustice to her. If Sano's army could assess the situation and come down to join the battle earlier.
Dome Motochu, who was guarding Sano Castle, did not bother to help the Hojo clan wipe their buttocks after the political collapse. Of course, the entire Hojo army would be annihilated in the Sano territory.
After finding a justifiable reason, Terutora Uesugi put the blame on Sano Masatsuna, surprising the Sano family governor three times a day.
The 20,000 soldiers of the Hojo family couldn't defeat the 8,000 soldiers of Echigo. How could the Sano family resist with their little arms and legs?
The Echigo army was stationed at Sano Castle at the foot of Mount Karazawa. Sano Masatsuna came to the door every day to beg his grandfather to sue his grandmother, hoping that Uesugi Teruhora would appease his anger, but he was turned away.
In her panic, she really couldn't find a way, so she could only cross Uesugi Teruhora and find the other leader of Echigo's duopoly, Yoshigan Shiba.
In fact, it was very taboo for Sano Masatsuna to do this.
If the leader doesn't want to see you, you go over the top and complain to the big boss? Isn't this a slap in the leader's face? In the future, if everyone follows suit, how can the leader's work be carried out?
Terutora Uesugi looked gloomy and was obviously angry, but Yoshigan Shiba had to persuade him.
Sano Territory is the gateway from Shimono Country to the core area of the Kanto Plain, and Sano Masatsuaki is the role model for the Kanto samurai family to defect to Uesugi Teruhora this time.
No matter how despicable or bastard this person is, she must be given a decent end.
To the east of Sano Territory, those Eastern people from Shimonohitachi and other countries were watching, watching how the Echigo side would punish Sano Masatsuna, the most righteous man.
Shiba Yiyin sighed and said.
"Your Highness Uesugi, let's meet her. The heat is almost done, and it will be too much if it is cooked any longer."
Uesugi Teruhora snorted, Yoshigan gave her enough face, so she had to know good from evil. Hojo Ushimasa ran away, and it was entirely Sano Masatsuna's fault. It was too unfair to her.
Since Yoshihiro said that he didn't want to worry about it anymore, Uesugi Teruhu also let it go, but there was just one thing to say beforehand.
"Mr. Qianxin, it's not impossible to forgive her. But this person is really unreliable. The entrance to the countryside is in her hands, which makes me feel uneasy."
Yiyin asked.
"What do you want to do, Your Highness Uesugi?"
Terutora Uesugi had already had an idea in his mind, so he took advantage of the situation and expressed it.
"I want Irobe Katsunaga to be permanently stationed in Sano Castle and serve as the castle representative."
Yoshigan glanced at Terutora Uesugi. This guy was becoming more and more evil. On the outside, he looked dissatisfied with Sano Masatsuna, but deep down he had his own plans.
This time when Sano led the battle, the Uesugi family did not treat them favorably, and the Chinese army was held back.
Sano Castle is a prosperous place in the Kanto Plain. She gave it to Irobe Katsunaga as a reward and as a warning to her direct descendants.
As Irobe Katsunaga, Nakajo Fujimo and other subordinates became more and more supportive, Uesugi Terutora became increasingly intolerable to the greed and short-sightedness of direct ministers such as Kakizaki Keie and Saito Nobu who were close to the flag family.
She has external forces to rely on, and in turn, beating her own people is also a way to balance the Uesugi retainers.
