With Sanada Nobushige withdrawing, the people of Nishi-Ueno might turn to the Hojo family, which would be even more troublesome.
Externally, the Hojo family was aggressive, and internally, Sanada Nobunshige and other Kanto samurai families were trying to make a move. Uesugi Terutora was in a difficult situation.
She glanced at Naoe Kanetsugu and asked.
"Kamiizumi Nobutsuna also sent a letter to Dahu City? What did Shima Shengmeng say?"
Naoe Kanetsu shook his head and said.
"I dare to come here in a hurry. I don't know how Master Shima Shengmeng will make a decision. But I think she will delay this matter."
"Oh why?"
Naoe Kanetsugu looked up at Teruhora Uesugi and whispered.
"Not long ago, Lord Shimakatsu Moe sent a letter to Konki via the Hokuriku Road trade route.
I invited the messenger to have a drink privately and discussed the details. Shima Shengmeng seemed to hope that the Ootaisho could return to Kanto quickly and take charge of the overall situation."
Teru Uesugi's eyes widened, he nodded slightly and murmured.
"Yes, I should have thought that Dao Shengmeng would definitely write a letter."
Teru Uesugi was in a state of confusion. She found that she was full of sincerity and enthusiasm, but she had never truly understood the thoughts of her sweetheart. She was a little sad and a little chilled.
The fact that Takeda Harunobu gave birth to a daughter was a thorn in her heart. But she didn't know how to ask Shiba Yoshigan. She didn't want to know the answer that would break her heart from her sweetheart.
Apparently, the Kanto Secretariat had no confidence in Terutora Uesugi, so he secretly wrote a letter to Yoshigan Shiba, urging him to come back so that everyone could have a backbone.
Terutora Uesugi felt very conflicted.
When Shiba Yoshigan comes back this time, the Kanto Secretariat will definitely not take him seriously. This institution has become a state within a state in the Kanto system, which makes Uesugi Teruhora feel threatened.
Originally, she thought that joining Uesugi Shiba and the Kanto Secretariat would not be a problem. But now it seems that she is too confident.
This time, Shimoso-goku was defeated, and many potential conflicts were brought to light, making Terutora Uesugi restless and fearful.
But if her sweetheart could come back early, why wouldn't Uesugi Terutora be unwilling? She still had something to ask and something she wanted to find an answer to.
Terutora Uesugi shook his head, dismissed his sorrowful thoughts, and said.
"Let Lord Kenshin take care of these mountain monkeys. I will write a letter to warn Sanada Nobushige and ask her to ensure the safety of Kamiizumi Sword Master.
As for how Nagano Yamori will deal with it, hey, let her use her own brains to figure out how to give an explanation to Mr. Kenshin."
Naoe Kanetsugu had a vague feeling that his master's attitude was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Every time when the Lord calls Duke Qianxin, there is a hint of tenderness in his tone. But today, it seems to be unnervingly cold.
The Naoe family made too much money on the Hokurikudo trade route and was deeply involved with the Shiba family.
If there is a crisis in Echigo's dual politics, the Naoe family will definitely bear the brunt of the misfortune. If both parties are not human beings, life will not be easy.
Naoe Kanetsugu felt uneasy, but he didn't dare to reveal anything on his face, so he fell to the ground and accepted the order.
———
Sanada Nobushige, who had completely occupied Minawa Castle and almost perfectly invaded Nishi Ueno, was currently in a state of distress.
She looked at Nagano Yashimai's residence on the Ninomaru Castle wall, and could faintly see the old woman standing in front of the threshold.
Nezu Sadamori walked up and bowed beside her, and Sanada Nobushige asked.
"what happened again?"
Nezu Sadamori laughed twice and said.
"Sword Master Shangquan said she was a little tired and asked for a bottle of water and a horse to sit on."
Someone on the side snorted and couldn't help laughing. Sanada Nobushige glared at that person and said angrily.
"Smile! Do you want to prepare another quilt for her? Make two bowls of rice?"
This old woman is really troublesome. I have been blocked by her for three days and dare not attack. I have already gained enough face. She should not push her too far!"
Nezu Sadamori smiled helplessly, and Umino Riichi on the side said calmly.
"There is water and food in the residence, and there is no shortage of supplies for the time being. Kamizumi Nobutsuna is not asking for anything, he is testing our determination.
After all, she is old. She stayed up for three days and three nights guarding the door. Even if she had food and drink, she couldn't stay up long."
Sanada Nobushige turned around and gave the order.
"Cheer up, everyone! When this old woman can't stand it any longer, we'll go in!
Remember, don't ruin this old woman's life!
She has a good relationship with Odai. If I accidentally kill her, I will be unlucky, and you don't want to get through it peacefully!
You all have to support me!"
The concubines cheered and bowed to obey the order.
Since killing Yukiyo Yukiyo's family, Sanada Nobushige's control over the Azuma clan has finally been stabilized.
Whether it is Nishi-Agatsuma's Shino clan or Higashi-Agatsuma's Saito surrender, they are all convinced of this young new lord.
This time in the Nishi Ueno strategy, the 10,000-koku Nishi-Ueno in Azuma County dared to devour the 100,000-koku Nishi-Ueno. No matter how much territory could be captured, it would be enough for each family in Azuma County to get a piece of fat.
Sanada Nobunaga's prestige grew higher and higher, and it gradually became a trend. All the concubines were convinced and obeyed his orders.
Umino Riichi looked at the residence in the distance and suddenly said.
"Something's wrong."
Sanada Nobushige looked back at her and asked.
"Liu Niang feels something is wrong?"
Umino Riichi pointed at the residence and said.
"Kamiizumi Swordsman is known as Ueno Ippon, and he was also a general who fought in all directions. How could she stand in a lonely city and wait silently for defeat?
If she had no backup plan, she would definitely fight hard and lead Nagano Yamori to break out of the encirclement.
But the way she looks now is more like stalling for time, and even trying to test our reaction."
