Uesugi Teruhora smiled and nodded, but he sneered in his heart.
Naoe Keizuna was cunning and cunning, so she only agreed with Terutora Uesugi's statement that the three Yangbei families of the Nagao family in the mansion had already surrendered, and the other families avoided talking about it.
This is to wait and see how the Xinfatian rebellion ends before making a decision.
If Yoshigoshi Shiba's strategy of Shimogotsu and Takehira Shimogotsu succeeds, she has nothing to say. Whatever the winner says is right. The two lords will do whatever they want, and the Uesugi retainers can only obey.
But if the rebellion fails and there are twists and turns, she has carefully chosen the words in these few words to prepare for the change of tone in the future.
This in itself was the room for maneuver left by Uesugi Teruhu to the retainers. Naoe Keetsuna's words were sparkling. Uesugi Teruhu understood it, and the Uesugi retainers also understood it. Everyone understood it tacitly.
The Wu family is capricious and selfish. If you want to get things done smoothly, you must have strong fists.
Uesugi Teruhora no longer paid attention to the group of retainers singing their praises, and looked towards the direction of Tomi Castle.
She has done the best she can. Next, it depends on whether Yoshigashi Shiba's ability to calm down the chaos is swift and perfect, leaving the Uesugi retainers helpless to accept the reality.
———
Tomi Castle, Castle Tower.
Yoshigan Shiba received an urgent letter from Terutora Uesugi, asking him to take charge of the counter-insurgency affairs in Shimotsu. All samurai loyal to the Uesugi family in Shimotsu must cooperate, and attached his signature.
In addition to this open letter for everyone in Yangbei to see, there is also a secret letter explaining his determination to convince the Uesugi retainers and accept the Yuesu family.
Reading between the lines, Yiyin could feel the tremendous pressure she was under. But the matter of Xieyue was imminent and had to be carried out.
With the support of Uesugi Teruhora, Yoshigan could only successfully quell the Shimogoshi Rebellion and reduce the doubts and resistance within the Uesugi retainers group.
He glanced at the sky outside, and just after noon, he said to Kamaojigo who was waiting beside him.
"In Pu Sheng's Township, I ordered the island to win fiercely and gather at Xingsheng City Gate in the mountains. Follow me to go to the Yangbei Yutai people."
"Hi!"
Two envoys rushed out from the castle tower and went to convey orders from east to west.
Soon, the whole city was noisy. Yiyin, wearing a white feather fabric, walked slowly towards the city gate.
As he advanced, warriors continued to join him on horseback. Shima Shengmu and Yamanaka Yukimori arrived one after another, half a horse behind him.
When they arrived at the city gate, the city gate had already been opened. Yoshigan rode his horse and whipped his whip, and the cavalry behind him galloped, and dozens of horse cavalry rushed towards the house outside the city.

At this time, where all the Yutai people from Yangbei were, a group of Ji warriors were deliberation in the camp.
The cold winter has arrived, but our village Fanchang reneged on his previous agreement and refused to let anyone come back to visit him.
The Ji warriors were furious and even more dissatisfied with the traitor leader. Today's review will definitely demand an explanation.
Honjo Nogecho sat silently at the top, looking at the excited subordinates with cold eyes. Her indifferent look further ignited the anger of the Ji warriors.
A Ji warrior asked without honorifics.
"My village, Fanchang, a few days ago you said you could go home to visit me in the winter.
But it’s been snowing for several days now, why don’t you let me wait to go back? What’s your intention?”
Honjo Nogecho glanced at her and cursed.
"I don't know the dignity and inferiority. You have forgotten the laws and regulations in the army? Of course there is a reason why I won't let you go back.
When you enter Guandong to serve the public, you will be bound by laws. Orders come from above, so just obey them."
As soon as these words came out, all the ladies were furious, and the leader, Warrior Ji, said even more unceremoniously.
"It was you who tricked us into entering the Guandong Palace, and now you have betrayed your trust and broken your promise! How can we believe your lies again!
There must be an explanation today, otherwise we will never let you go!"
Honjo Mancho seemed indifferent, but in fact he was impatient. She made a sure decision in front of Shiba Yiyin, and she would definitely stabilize the imperial family Yangbeizhong.
The dealer's spies have found out the situation, and Shinbada Choatoshi and Igokino Nobumune have indeed gone to Kachi Castle.
The chaos in the city subsided after a long time, and it seemed that the people of Jiadi had been successfully persuaded to join the rebellion.
Honjo Shigenaga sent the news to Shiba Yoshigan of the castle tower, but he did not respond for a while.
How can we let these Ji warriors go at this time? Sasaki's party accounts for at least 20-30% of them. They will definitely be hijacked by the rebels when they go back and become a resistance to countering the rebellion.
However, the prestige of our village, Changchang, has long been damaged. Now, relying solely on military orders, it is no longer possible to suppress these angry Yangbei imperial people.
At this moment, a sharp shout came from outside.
"How brave! I gave the order not to allow you to go back. What? Do you want to rebel?"
Honzhuo Fanchang was overjoyed when he heard this and stood up.
Yiyin strode in from outside, and a group of Ji warriors rushed into the room behind him, instantly occupying the corner and surrounding them.
It is impossible for all the hundreds of concubines from Yangbei to come to make trouble. There are only more than ten concubines at the head of the room.
No one dared to stop Yiyin from entering the camp. He went straight into the center of the army and ignored the doubtful Yangbei people outside.
Honjo Shigenaga came down and bowed to Yoshigan. He nodded slightly, walked up to the main seat and sat down.
The warrior Ji who took the lead in making trouble was stunned on the spot, feeling terrible.
Yiyin pointed at her and said.
"I gave the order. Tell me, how are you going to fight me?"
The warrior Ji was so excited that she got down on the ground and apologized to her lord.
"Really sorry."
Yiyin said to Honzo Mancho.
"This kind of disrespectful thing is what you are used to.
Military law is not something you can just leave alone, you will have to strictly control it from now on, you know?"
"Hi!"
Honjo Mancho bowed his head, feeling happy in his heart. Shiba Yiyin praised her openly and secretly, which was to support her.
After saying this, facing the confused Yangbei imperial people, Yiyin said.
"Xinfatian Changdun rebelled, and there was another turmoil in Xiayue. I won't let you go back, but I have a question for you.
His Highness Uesugi entrusted me to put down the chaos in Shigotsu this time, so I just wanted to ask.
Are you going to follow me and bring order to the chaos, or will you become my enemy?"
Yiyin spoke in an understatement, but Yang Beizhong was so heartbroken that they all kowtowed to the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.
Yiyin stared at the back of their heads and said leisurely.
"Last time, you abandoned me on Kawanaka Island, and I couldn't do anything to you.
This time, do you want to go back and see if I can still do anything to you?"
The killing was heartbreaking, and everyone in Yangbei was sweating. The leader kowtowed fiercely, then raised his head and spoke.
"Otai Suo, you value us and provide us with food, food and clothing. We are very grateful.
The incident on Kawanaka Island was caused by the leader's disorderly conduct, and our loyal hearts to the emperor, the emperor, the emperor and the queen, the people and gods have all learned from it."
After saying that, she kowtowed to the ground and did not look up again.
After the Battle of Kawanakajima, it was impossible for the Yangbei Imperial Guards to become enemies with Shiba Yoshigan. However, they followed him into battle and watched helplessly as he defeated the Takeda family.
Shiba Yiyin's overwhelming power on the battlefield, sweeping away thousands of armies, is what all Ji warriors yearn for and fear.
Yangbeizhong, the Yutai people who had experienced this kind of power at a close distance, would not dare to stand in the enemy formation opposite Yiyin even if they were killed.
