Chapter 1121 Change to the Tokaido Road(2/2)
The Odaisho did not use the powerful Hokuriku Road trade route that he had built, but instead requested to cross the border via Tokaido. This must be due to something that happened in recent times."
Hojo Genan thought.
"Then what you mean is that we just deal with it for now? We'll wait until we find out the recent events before we make a reply?"
Hojo Ujiyasu shook his head and said decisively.
"No, we welcome Yu Taishu to pass through our border and are willing to provide sufficient supplies and give him military supplies of two hundred cavalry.
No matter what happens in recent times, I don’t care. As long as Shiba Yiyin is willing to leave Kanto, I will pay for the travel expenses."
Hojo Genan nodded, thoughtfully.
The Hojo family respected and feared Shiba Yoshigan. A miracle at Kamakura Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine completely eliminated the political advantage of the Hojo family to dominate Kanto.
Hojo Uyasu had a mentality of sending off the plague to this Odaisho. It would be better to leave as soon as possible, and it would be best never to come back.
After Terutora Uesugi joined forces with Yoshihiro Shiba, the internal and external troubles of the entire Echigo Samurai Group were completely eradicated. Hojo Ujiyasu wanted to fight back, but had nowhere to start.
You can't win on the battlefield, and you can't find any weaknesses outside the battlefield. The feeling of being cornered by someone's conspiracy is really too bad.
If she wants to compete with Teru Uesugi in Kanto, she must first break up the alliance between her and Yoshigan Shiba.
The Kyoto Incident was truly a God-given opportunity. Yoshihiro Shiba wanted to leave, so how could Hojo Ujiyasu stop him? Farewell! Leave with food and drinks included!
Hojo Genan understood her thoughts, but Hojo Umasa on the other side was hesitant to speak.
Hojo Ujiyasu saw that her expression was unnatural and asked.
"Ujimasa, what do you think?"
Hojo Ushimasa hesitated and said.
"When Odawara Castle was besieged, my family mourned for General Ashikaga and vowed to go to Luo to avenge the general.
Now that the Odaisho passes through Sagami Province and takes the Tokaido Road to Raku, does my family need to fulfill its promise?
Even if I just bring a few cavalry with you, it would be better than being laughed at by the samurai all over the world, because I, the Hojo family, do not keep their word."
Hojo Ujiyasu narrowed his eyes, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.
"Ujimasa, do you want to go to Luo with Odaisho?"
Hojo Ushimasa was stunned. He didn't expect his mother to kick the ball back to him.
She was also a misunderstanding, and she didn't know why she was so upset. Every time she thought of the astonished young man in front of the White Flag Shrine in Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, her heart couldn't stop throbbing.
She said she would fulfill her promise to the Hojo family, but in her heart she had a desire to go with him. Now, when her mother asked her explicitly, she became coy and did not dare to reveal her true feelings.
Hojo Ushimasa said.
"Mother, I'm just afraid of hurting the reputation of the Hojo family."
Hojo Ujiyasu said coldly.
"The Hojo family doesn't need to prove anything to the world! There was chaos in Kyoto, the general was killed, and the weakness of the shogunate has been clearly seen by the military families all over the world.
In the age of great strife, instead of taking advantage of the imperial office to leave Kanto and seize the opportunity to regroup and regroup, the Hojo family will get involved in some kind of power struggle within the shogunate?
Ujimasa, what on earth are you thinking about?
Going to Luo to avenge the general was just an excuse and a temporary measure at the time. The Kanto warrior family didn't care, the imperial office didn't take it to heart, and the people of the world didn't care either!
And why do you never forget it?"
