Chapter 5: Takeda and Uesugi reconcile
Uesugi Kenshin not only sent Kiheiji to be raised by Shigetomi, but also declared that if Keikatsu was a man of creation, he would return Masakai's domain to him when he was sixteen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As a result, because Naoe and Gan Liang had a very good evaluation of Kiheiji, Uesugi Kenshin, who learned about this, summoned him to be a side servant when Kiheiji was twelve years old and came to Kasuga Mountain Castle. This is a year earlier than in history.
"It's a happy peace! Is there something you can do? Uesugi Kenshin only heard Kiheiji's voice and knew that it was his adopted son who came, but he continued to ask with the beads in his hand and looked at the bronze statue of Bishamonten, and did not look back at him.
"Father, there is news from the castle that the Takeda family has sent an envoy to ask for a meeting." Hiheiji said.
"Is it because of the Kuroda family?" Kenshin Uesugi asked.
"Hey!"
"Take him to the Great Hiroma! You go down first, and I'll come right over. ”
"Hey!"
After Kiheiji left, Kenshin Esugi Kenshin, who had been closing his eyes, finally opened his eyes slowly, and his whole body was shrouded in a dim space, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"Is it the Kuroda family? The wolf ambitions, the untouchables who started from the end of the world, disagreed with the law and disrupted the entire Warring States, killed the daimyos, disrespected righteousness, and even the Takeda family was ready to stop fighting, this must be the will of God. I, Uesugi Kenshin, a disciple of the Heavens, vowed that I would succeed in going to Luoyang, welcome the shogun back to Luoyang (i.e., Kyoto of the Wa Kingdom), and eradicate the cancer of the troubled times of the Kuroda family. ”
After that, Uesugi Kenshin bowed to the hideous Buddha statue Yuanguang Bishamon, and put the bead string in his hand on several cases, which was considered to be the completion of the oath.
On the same day, in the Honmaru Daihiroma of Kasuga Yama Castle, Uesugi Kenshin met with Mieda Mamotomo, and the two did not talk for long, after which Uesugi Kei and the Takeda family formally reconciled, and formed a loose alliance for their respective Kamiraku ideas. Once again, it is a powerful proof that in the face of interests, no matter how much enemy there is, it can become friends.
The Hojo family soon got the news, but the governor of the family, Hojo Shiyasu, thought that it was better for the Hojo family to base themselves in the eastern country, and only sent people to negotiate with the Takeda family, which further strengthened the alliance and understood the direction of the Takeda family's attack. After knowing that the Takeda family's goal was the two states of Jun and Yuan, the Hojo family was ready to plant their own one-acre and three-point land.
The Kuroda family is rising at an astonishing rate, which must mean that its foundation is unstable and will collapse sooner or later! There are indeed many such examples in history, so Hojo Shiyasu doesn't take it to heart, but is just ready to continue to live his own small life.
As for the daimyo of the Ha Ao region, don't say that because the western country is too far away, they don't have any ideas at all, and even if they do, there are the Takeda family, Uesugi Kei, and Hojo families in front of them, and these three behemoths have dispelled their ideas. What's more, there are also large and small forces such as Ashina, Satake, Utsunomiya, Satomi, Soma, etc., and the western country really has nothing to do with them.
At this time, the Yamato nobles Shinyama Castle and Matsunaga Shu summoned all the important ministers to come to the Imperial Pavilion to discuss the matter.
Matsunaga Hideshi sat down with Matsunaga Tsutsu, Matsunaga Naganaga, Naito Ruyasu, Oka Kunitaka, Okuda Tadataka, Kusunoki Masatora, Takada Mikawamori, Takayama Tomote, Yuuki Tadamasa, Hidekatsu Takeuchi, Toki Yoriji, Hayashi Tsutsukatsu, Walin Hideshige, Shitei Ieho, Shitei Ietake, Yamaguchi Hidekatsu, Umi Tomokiyo, Mori Masantomo, Iida Kiji, Mori Yoshihisa, Takayama Yorisada, Takayama Yorimori, Kawai Hidetake, and Yagyu Soyogen were all present. Just the lineup of this retainer group can be called quite luxurious, although many of them are unknown people in history, in fact, many of them are capable.
The current forty-one-year-old lord of Yagyu Zhuang, the Yanagi family Yanagi Zongyan, was originally a retainer of Tsutsui Shunkei, but later because of the rise of Matsunaga Hide, he took refuge under Matsunaga Hide, so I will not introduce it here. Because of his strong martial arts skills, he was deeply loved by Matsunaga Shu, so he was able to participate in such a meeting.
"Guys, I'm sure you've all gotten the news!" Matsunaga said.
"Hey!" The people should be in peace.
"Father, the Kuroda family has acquired Shikoku, Awaji, Tango, Bigo, Hakugi, Izumo, Iwami and other countries in one fell swoop, and if they continue to develop like this, their strength will more than double in a few years. The Kuroda family has always been extremely aggressive, and the position of the family will be unimaginable at that time! Matsunaga said.
"There's nothing to worry about, the Kuroda family is here, and the family has a father, and there are all the adults here, so there's no need to worry at all." Matsunaga said with a smile.
"The Kuroda family has always been cunning, and even the wise man of the Western Kingdom, Mori Motoko, is not its opponent, and the family must not underestimate the enemy!" Matsunaga said.
"Okay, Jiro is right."
"My lord, what should the family do now? Do you want to attack Tanba Province, where the Kuroda family is relatively weakly defended? Tadataka Okuda asked.
"That's not the case, the Kuroda family has almost swept the world, and the best way for the family to face the Kuroda family now is to strengthen their own strength, only in this way, as Taro said, there is no need to be afraid of the threat of the Kuroda family." Matsunaga said.
"It's just that now that our family is based in the land of, surrounded by powerful daimyo, our position is really a little awkward!" Raiji Toki said.
"My lord, I have heard a piece of news from Omi Province recently, maybe we must take precautions." Oka Guogao interjected at this time.
"Omi Province...... Does it have anything to do with the general? Matsunaga said with some surprise.
"Hey! What the lord said was true, I heard that the general recently made a request to the Rokkaku family to help him go to Luo, but was rejected by the governor of the Rokkaku family, Rokkaku Yoshixian, on the grounds of instability in the collar. ”
"The Hexagonal family refused, so what does it have to do with this family!" Valin Shuzhong asked.
"Because of the refusal of the Rokkaku family, it seems that the general has lost patience with the Rokkaku family."
"Could it be that the general is looking for the Asakura family?" Matsunaga said with squinting eyes.
"Hey! It was the Asakura family. ”
"Asakura! If the Asakura family agrees to this, Wakasa Province is currently in the hands of the Asakura family, and they can directly attack Yamashiro Province through Wakasa. Although I have never cared about Yamashiro Province, if the Asakura family captures Yamashiro Province, it will be a great blow to the confidence of my family. Matsunaga said.
"My lord is right." Oka Guotaka nodded and said.
"My lord, there is one more thing that we must pay attention to." Nanmu Zhenghu said at this time.
