Yasuda Jingyuan's words surprised everyone in the main hall.

Originally, according to the normal situation, Yasuda Keimoto's surrender should also be a surrender to the main family Kasuga Mountain Castle, but now Yasuda Keigen directly wants to become a retainer of Nagao Keiho, which is a bit intriguing.

Nagao Jinghu also looked at Yasuda Jingyuan with a confused face, and said slowly, "What does Lord Echichu Mamoru mean by this?" For the resettlement of you and the Hojo family, the decision of the main family is self-sufficient, and the Jinghu people are soft-spoken, and I am afraid that they will not dare to make decisions without authorization. ”

"Jinghu Palace's words are wrong!" Yasuda Jingyuan continued: "I, Yasuda Jingyuan, was defeated by the Jinghu Palace, and surrendering is naturally surrendering to the Jinghu Palace!" Although the Qingjing Hall of Kasuga Mountain City is said to be the head of the Nagawei Lord's family, in the next view, it is far inferior to the Jinghu Palace! ”

"Besides, even if you take refuge in the Qingjing Palace, you are just an ordinary retainer. The power of the Nagao family is strong, and a warrior like me does not know how many people there are, and his ability is low, so it is better to serve under the command of the Jinghu Hall than to be unknown in the main family! In this way, he may be able to make a name for himself in this Echigo land one day and revitalize the name of my Yasuda family! Yasuda Jingyuan looked at Nagawei Jinghu with a sincere face and said his heart.

In fact, it is also a helpless move to take refuge in Long-tailed Jinghu, after all, Long-tailed Jinghu is just a retainer of the Long-tailed family. But as Yasuda Keigen said, with the strength of the Yasuda family and Yasuda Keigen's ability, if he becomes the direct minister of Nagao Haruki, he will definitely not be reused! Rather than this, it is better to become the commander of the long-tailed Jinghu, at least in this "Tochio City Long-tail Family", his own status is also very important!

Yasuda Keimoto's words made Hojo Takahiro on the side fall into deep thought.

"Yasuda Jingyuan's move seems to be intentionally getting closer to the long-tailed Jinghu, is there anything hidden in it that I don't know???" Hojo Takahiro secretly guessed in his heart. Based on Hojo Takahiro's understanding of Yasuda Keimoto, Yasuda Keiwon's behavior today is very abnormal, which makes Hojo Takahiro a little worried.

Now the situation in Echigo is extremely unstable, and if you are not careful, you may have no chance to turn over, and every choice is to make a bet on the name of the family, and there is no room for sloppiness.

Just when Hojo Takahiro was hesitating, Nagao Keihu was also struggling in his heart!

Yasuda Jingyuan's initiative to take refuge is naturally a good thing for Long-tailed Jinghu, but if Long-tailed Jinghu really agrees, then the relationship between Long-tailed Jinghu and Long-tailed Qingjing will be strained. From the bottom of his heart, Nagao Jinghu doesn't have much family affection for Nagao Qingjing, but more respect and support for his brother as a younger brother.

After all, Nagao Jinghu grew up in the temple since he was a child, and basically has no intersection with Nagao Qingjing! But the long-tailed Jinghu also has his own beliefs and bottom line in his heart, and he is very resistant to such a transgression.

The long-tail Jingxin on the side looked at the appearance of the long-tail Jinghu, and roughly guessed what his nephew was thinking, so he hurriedly said in a loud voice, "Xiheiji, there is no need to rush this matter, why don't you wait for Honjo Minoru to return before making a decision?" ”

"Hmmm! What my uncle said is very true! Nagao Jinghu had no choice but to follow Nagao Keinobu's proposal and wait for Honjo to return. After all, Honjo went to report the matter to Nagao Harukei, and when Honjo Minori returned, he would be able to know what Nagao Harukei's attitude was towards this matter.

...........

However, before Honjo Minoru returned, another major event occurred in Echigo.

Kurotaki Castle, located in the Chuetsu region, is built against the backdrop of Mt. Kakuda, bordering the Sado Strait and facing Sado Island across the sea. This is the territory of the Kuroda family, and the castle lord's name is Kuroda Hidetada.

Kuroda Hidetada is a retainer of Echigo's guardian of Uesugi Dingshi, and he is also a die-hard member! Although Uesugi was overtaken by the Nagao family, and most of the Uesugi family's territory was occupied by the Nagao family, including Kurotaki Castle, of course, Kuroda Hidetada was not willing to give up his original dream and become a lackey of the Nagao family!

In the castle tower of Kurotaki Castle, Kuroda Hidetada returned to the castle tower to handle government affairs after training as usual. Just picked up a letter and before he could check it, a Kuroda family's ashigaru ran in from outside.

"My lord! Tochio Castle Rush! ”

Hearing the urgent report from Tochio Castle, Kuroda Hidetada quickly stood up and asked loudly, "What happened?" ”

"Two days ago, the combined forces of the Yasuda family and the Hojo family suddenly sent troops to attack Tochio Castle, captured several castles one after another, and surrounded Tochio Castle! It is rumored that Minoru Naoe, the lord of Bancheng City, and Nagao Keitora, the lord of Tochio Castle, have not returned to the Hazugawa family, and now the Sino-Vietnamese region has fallen into war! Ashigaru hurriedly replied!

"Haha! God help me! Kuroda Hidetada excitedly rushed to Ashigaru's side and said excitedly, "In this way, the time that the family has been waiting for for a long time has finally arrived!" ”

"Immediately send a message to the lord (Uesugi Dingmi), and the family immediately raised troops in Kurotaki Castle, and the army was dispatched on the same day to respond to the attack of Hojo Takahiro and Yasuda Keimoto, and asked the lord and the rear to mobilize troops to support the family! This time, we must take advantage of the situation to defeat the longtail family in one fell swoop! ”

After Kuroda Hidetada finished speaking, he came to the map behind him and stood still, his eyes scanned back and forth in the Sino-Vietnamese region, and then pointed to the location of Kakizaki Castle on the map and said loudly, "Izumi Mamoru has already made an agreement with my family, since my family has decided to send troops, then send someone to inform Izumi Mamoru and let the Kakizaki family fight together!" ”

"In this way, Kakizaki Castle, Hojo Castle, Yasuda Castle, and Kurotaki Castle will be connected in a line, and with the combined forces of our four families, plus the lord's support from the side, I will definitely be able to recapture everything that belongs to my Uesugi family!"

.........

Kakizaki Castle is the foundation of the Kakizaki family. The current head of the Kakizaki family is Kakizaki Yajiro, who participated in the Great War with Uesugi Sesumi in his early years with Nagao Weijing, and was awarded the official position of Izumi Mamoru for his merits, and was allowed to build Kakizaki Castle on Kakizaki Mountain as a basis.

After receiving Kuroda's letter, Yajiro Kakizaki immediately mobilized the troops in the domain. Troops were sent from Kakizaki Castle, and through Saruge Castle, they attacked Kamijo Castle, the former headquarters of the Uesugi family, while Kuroda Hidetada attacked Naoe Minorutsuna's Yoita Castle. Once the two succeed, the Nagao family will completely lose their dominance over the Sino-Vietnamese region.

However, because Hojo Takahiro and Yasuda Keigen were defeated by Nagao Keitora so quickly, that Kakizaki Yajiro and Kuroda Hidetada have not received news until now. While the two were still dreaming of conquering the Central and Vietnamese regions, Minoru Naoe and Minoru Honjo rushed from Kasuga Yama Castle to Tochio Castle, bringing news of the rebellion of Kuroda Hidetada and Kakizaki Yajiro.

"Kuroda Hidetada's rebellion is not surprising. Kuroda Hidetada was a retainer of the Uesugi family in his early years, and it was normal to see the Hojo family and the Yasuda family send troops to attack the main family, and the family sent troops when they were too busy to take care of themselves, and took the opportunity to welcome back Uesugi Dingshi and regain the real power of the Uesugi family, which is normal. ”

"It's just that why did the Kakizaki family rebel with Kuroda Hidetada? When the first lord was there, the Kakizaki family has always been a powerful retainer of the family, and Kakizaki Yajiro is also highly valued by the first lord, how can he say the opposite??? In Tochio Castle, Honjo said to everyone in the hall with a frown and a look of disbelief.

The sudden rebellion of the Kakizaki family was indeed unexpected by everyone. The territory of the Kakizaki family is right in the middle of Kasuga Mountain Castle and Tochio Castle, and the Kakizaki family is equivalent to directly dividing the territory of the Nagao family into two, and for a while, Nagao Keihu and Naoe Minoru and others began to be at a loss.
