Terutora Uesugi sat back in the main seat and said coldly.
"I can agree to Hojo Ujiyasu's request, but I have a condition."
Nagao was ecstatic. She didn't know why Uesugi Teru suddenly changed his mind. But as long as Uesugi Teru 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 Vietcong alliance with Hojo Ujiyasu to fight against the Takeda family together."
Chang Wei was stunned for a moment, and repeated with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Fight against the Takeda family?"
Terutora Uesugi 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 if 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, Yoshigan 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 to help the Takeda family stabilize internal supply and demand and go all out south.
When the Takeda family went south to Suruga Country, it was a dagger stuck in the back of the Hojo family, which made the Hojo family feel uncomfortable and had to distract themselves.
Now, Terutora Uesugi 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 firmly.
"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 was 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 Amabashi Castle 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-Song 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 Kanhachishu.
However, Yoshigan Shiba, who was far away in Japan, still didn't know that the Kanto strategy he had painstakingly planned for Terutora Uesugi could no longer be realized.
Uesugi Teruhora, who was ostracized by the Kwanpachi warrior family, no longer had the moral will to unify Kanto.
How will Shiba Yoshigan, who is coerced by the system mission, deal with the messy situation in Kanto in order to preserve his angelic 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 Nobuyan, who was sitting opposite her, had complicated eyes, looking at the child who was 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 don’t keep an eye on her, I’m afraid she’ll fall and hit her again.”
Takeda Shingen's tone seemed to be complaining, but there was a hint of pride in showing off.
Children in the medieval era were undernourished and did not develop as well as later generations. But her daughter with Shiba Yiyin was smart, agile and physically 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 is the powerful combination of Shiba Yoshiyin'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 looking down on 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 among the Kaibi clan, Shinonō clan, and Suruga clan, and they look down upon 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's original ambitions and delusions were severely extinguished by the cold water of reality.
The Takeda family can live without Takeda Nobuyan, but Takeda Shingen is indispensable. Takeda Noburen quickly adjusted his position and admired his eldest sister even more.
Only Takeda Shingen can manage this mess. If it were anyone else, the Takeda family would have to be dismantled.
Takeda Noburen 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 Rena, 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 Shingen aside.
After a while, she turned around proudly and showed off to Takeda Nobuyan.
"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 Northern Shinano.
According to the caravans traveling to and from Zenkojidaira, Naoetsu seems to be adjusting its low-price goods policy towards Zenkojippei, and the price of goods is said to have increased by at least 30%.
There is also the coarse salt that was provided for free before. I heard that the agreement will also be terminated. Because it was originally decided by Ootaisho to extend the profit for another year, and now it is almost time.
In addition, Touha Shinobu heard some bad rumors in Kanto, saying that the Uesugi family and the Hojo family have formed an alliance, which may be detrimental to my Takeda family."
Takeda Shingen pointed to the letter on the slip of paper 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 Viet Nam 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 charged at me. Hojo Ujiyasu 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 Shinken's worried face and frowning while looking at the letter, Takeda Shingen smiled.
"You don't have to worry too much.
During this year, my family has been recuperating and not engaging 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 Teruho, I no longer care about it.
As for the Vietnam-Vietnam alliance? That is her wishful thinking.
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 Takeda family?
The Imagawa family is really in Izu country. If Hojo Uyasu returns to Suruga country, will the Hojo family swallow this land themselves? Or will it 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? Has he jumped into the quagmire of Tokaido?
She was just perfunctory."
The slick Hojo Ujiyasu is not a member of the Hojo clan, so he is not that easy to exploit. The Hojo family has successfully alienated the relationship between the Uesugi family and the Kanhachishu samurai family through the Etsuto alliance.
Teruhora Uesugi made a dead move, and the Uesugi family has been ostracized by the Kanbazhou samurai family. It will never be possible to have the same phenomenon of sweeping Kanbazhou.
Takeda Shingen was not afraid of Uesugi Terutora, who was betrayed by everyone and abandoned by his family. She spoke eloquently and scolded Fang Qiu, as if everything was under control.
But Takeda Shinken secretly glanced at Takeda Rena who had fallen asleep in Takeda Shingen's arms.
Takeda Shingen's analysis was very correct and inspiring. But she managed to avoid one question without leaving any trace, that is, why did Uesugi Teruhora suddenly fall out?
The Uesugi-Takeda family's strategy of attacking the Hojo family from a flank was the result of 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 Uesugi Terutora tear up the tacit understanding between the two parties and instead cooperate with the Hojo family, who had fierce conflicts in Kanhaishu?
Takeda Nobuyan had a vague premonition that there was no airtight wall in this world, and Takeda Reina's life experience might have been spread out.
It is not a secret that Uesugi Terutora loves Shiba Yoshigan. She knew about Takeda Rena's life experience and fell out with the Takeda family. It is understandable and easy to deal with.
But if Yoshigan Shiba learns of 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.
He fought against Shinano, defeated Yuezhong, went down to Kanto, and won the imperial white flag at Hachiman Palace. He traveled thousands of miles back to Jinji, went up to Luo and put an end to the chaos, and was admired by the world.
After a series of dazzling battles, Shiba Yiyin's reputation has soared into the sky.
Takeda Noburen doesn’t know what the Kansai people think of Shiba Yoshigan. But in the hearts of the Takeda family and the Kanto samurai family, he is a god descended from heaven!
Takeda Shingen stained the Shiba Yoshiyin and stole the blood of the Shiba family. This matter is not trivial.
Takeda Nobile was really afraid that one day, the Takeda family would be wiped out because of this incident.
But seeing Takeda Shingen chatting, changing the subject, and pretending to be confused, Takeda Noburen didn't have the guts to expose his powerful eldest sister to her face.
———
After sending Takeda Shinken away, he blocked her words in his throat and did not dare 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 Noburen's worries are really ridiculous.
Although he only got along with Shiba Yoshigan for a few days, in the years that followed, Takeda Shingen continued to collect 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 Yoshigan Shiba's enemy, but she had lost the possibility of becoming Yoshigan Shiba's lover.
In Yantian City, the moment she ordered the concubines to stain 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 nature of the Wu family society.
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 though he deeply hates himself as a bad woman who humiliated him, Shiba Yiyin will definitely love his daughter deeply.
The Shiba family was destroyed, and Yoshigan Shiba was living alone in a turbulent and troubled world. From the information about Yoshigan Shiba, Takeda Shingen felt a deep sense of loneliness.
Maybe it was because his family was ruined, or maybe it was for other reasons, Shiba Yiyin didn't look like a normal martial artist, but more like a flesh-and-blood idealist.
A lonely, emotional person, will he hurt his children who are connected by blood? Will he cut off 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. He won, and he won everyone.
Terutora Uesugi'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, or... you... my daughter.
