Chapter 4: Takeda and Uesugi

"Hey! My father, I was taught. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Takeda Katsuyori said respectfully, while going to collect shogi.

At this time, the important minister of the Takeda family, Sanzhi Shouyou, walked into the big wide room quickly, knelt down in front of the two of them, and then said: "The lord, the young master, the news from the western country just now. The Kuroda family had defeated the Mori family, and the Mori family had surrendered to the Kuroda family, and the Mori family's land was in the hands of the Kuroda family. ”

"What?" Takeda Shingen stood up in surprise and accidentally overturned the entire chessboard that had not yet been put away.

"Has the Kuroda family already unified the western country?" Katsuyori Takeda also looked very surprised.

"There are also the entire territory of Shikoku and Awaji Province, which have also been suppressed by the Kuroda family." Mieda Shouyou said.

"Twenty-one countries (in fact, the Kuroda family has not yet occupied Zhoufang and Nagato, and the Harima country and the Misaku country are also half countries), roughly calculated, the Kuroda family has already obtained one of the three points in the world! The achievements of the one-sixth hall back then were almost impossible to replicate, and now the Kuroda family has reached the point where it is now, which is really too terrifying. Shingen Takeda said.

"Shiro, it seems that I was wrong before." Takeda Shingen walked to the middle of the courtyard, twisted a leaf in his hand, and looked up at the big tree again, before shaking his head and saying.

Katsuyori Takeda stood quietly, not seeing his father's face or what he was thinking, but he could hear the regret in his father's tone.

"Why did my father say that?" Takeda Katsuyori looked at the man who was already a little old in surprise and said.

"If I'm not mistaken, the so-called Kirin Kuroda Vocational High School started to guide the Kuroda family when the family began to compete with the Uesugi family on Kawanakajima, and he was only six or seven years old at the time."

"Is it only six or seven years old to win the support of your family?" Katsuyori Takeda said in surprise.

Takeda Shingen nodded and said, "Yes, he was only so small at that time, and he must be very capable of gaining the trust of the people in his family." At that time, my Takeda family was one of the most powerful daimyo in the world, and his Kuroda family was just a wealthy family in Harima Province who had never heard of a name. There are so many forces in the world like the Kuroda family that they are not at all inconspicuous.

But with such a Kuroda family, under the leadership of Kirin'er, in just over ten years, many capable ministers and famous generals have been gathered, and they have defeated many powerful daimyo families from a wealthy family in the countryside, and finally defeated the overlord of the Western Kingdom, becoming the Daimyo of the unification of the Western Kingdom and the largest force in the world, which is really incredible. ”

"My father is right, it's true," Katsuyori Takeda said.

"But think about my family for more than ten years! What has the family been doing in the past ten years? And the Uesugi family fought to the death for a Kitashinano, consuming countless manpower and material resources, but what about the result! In addition to suppressing Nishi-Ueno, the main family was trapped in Koshin, and the Uesugi family couldn't get out of Echigo. Restrain each other, and sooner or later, when other families are powerful, the two of us will become food in other people's mouths.

If the main family and the Uesugi family continue like this, I'm afraid that when the Kuroda family fights, we will still fight on Kawanakajima! Now that I think about it, it seems like I'm stuck in a demonic obstacle.,Why do I have to share a victory or defeat with the Uesugi family.,But I've never thought about whether this is the right way out for the family.,And for this Taro also,Hey......" Takeda Shingen rarely showed a painful look at this time.

"Father, don't blame yourself too much." Katsuyori Takeda held on to Shingen Takeda.

"Shiro."

"Hey!"

"I'll fix a book immediately, and you will immediately order someone to send it to Kasuga Mountain Castle and hand it over to Echigo Hall." Takeda Shingen commanded.

"Father, are you going to ......" Takeda Katsuyori was a little surprised, looking at his father, is he really going to reconcile with the Uesugi family?

"Hey! I'm going to shake hands and make peace with Echigo Temple, but of course if he agrees, we won't fight with the Uesugi family, and our goal is Tokaido. ”

"Tokaido! I see, it's just my father, and everyone in the family ......"

"Do you mean the binding force of the so-called alliance? Will they still disobey as long as they can be rewarded? And if we don't take the Tokaido, sooner or later it will be owned by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the man who betrayed the master, and Enoe and Suruga are rich lands, and if they are obtained by him, this family will be a strong rival in the future! Takeda Shingen said with squinted eyes.

"I understand, I'll immediately order ......, no, the inquest is up to your lord." At this time, Takeda Katsuyori suddenly stopped Mieda Shouyu.

"Hey! What does the young master command? Saneda said respectfully

"This time the stakes are very high, and please explain that the Lord will personally go to Kasuga Mountain Castle and meet His Royal Highness Echigo."

"Hey! Please rest assured that the lord and the young lord will leave it to me. Mieda said with a confident smile.

Autumn in Echigo is still very beautiful because there are large coastal plains, and at this time, the ripe rice fields are full of plump ears of rice, and with the sea breeze, there are intoxicating waves of rice.

It's just that the human incarnation of Bishamonten (the Tawen Heavenly King of the Four Heavenly Kings), the last guardian of justice, the largest supplier of the Naoetsu talent market, and our favorite sister, Uesugi Kenshin is only in Kasugayama Castle Honmaru at this time, in the Buddhist hall on the second floor of the castle tower.

At the same time, in his bedroom, in front of the bronze statue of Bishamonten, Uesugi Ken couldn't believe reciting obscure scriptures, which was the only daily routine of he, an ascetic, almost every day when there was no war. You can't tell it at all, it's a world-famous name.

"Father."

A young man appeared at the door of the Buddha Hall, and he did not rush in, but waited at the door of the Buddha Hall after whispering a prayer.

The young man who spoke, although he looked only eleven or twelve years old, had a strange expressionless face, a grim expression, and did not smile, and his face looked a little rude at a young age.

He is Uesugi Kenshin's adopted son Kiheiji (future Uesugi Keikatsu), and he also has an identity, the son of Nagao Masaki, who had previously rebelled and died, and Uesugi Kenshin's sister Sentaoin (Ayahime).

When Kiheiji was eight years old, his father, Nagao Masaki, played with Usami Seimitsu and did some things he loved to do, and both sank into the lake and died. As a result, Kiheiji, who lost his father, became the adopted son of Kenshin Uesugi.

It's just that after Nagao Masaki's death, Uesugi Kenshin didn't immediately recruit him to his side. Instead, Uesugi Kenshin ordered that Kiheiji be raised by two highly respected people in the family, Naoe Minoru and Kanya Keiji.
