Faced with the sudden rebellion, Yiyin became excited after the initial panic.
The most battles he has fought in his life were to play the role of a sharp knife, leading a small number of elites to deal with enemies with greater numbers, and defeating the strong with the weak.
If Yiyin relies on the strong to bully the weak and crushes the game, he may not be successful. But if he is allowed to start against the wind, he will really be like a fish in water. He is familiar with this life.
After listening to Oda Ujiharu's information, Yoshigami thought for a moment and then spoke decisively.
"Call Ii Naomasa in."
"Hi!"
After a moment, Ii Naomasa entered the room and bowed, and Yoshigami gave the order directly.
"Naomasa, you immediately set out with three or five capable generals, as well as extra war horses, and rush back to the Echigo Imperial Palace day and night.
Please bring a message for me to the ruling people who are having a grand deliberation. Say that there is a rebellion among the people in the East. I am afraid that the chaos will spread to the outside world and all lives will be ruined. I am determined to fight the rebels to the end."
Naomasa Ii was stunned and asked.
"Sage, is that all?"
Yiyin nodded.
"One sentence is enough. They like to spend every penny, so let them talk slowly in the big committee. I will block the rebels for them."
Naomasa Ii looked solemn and bowed.
"The saint has the world in mind, sympathizes with the hardships of all people, and does not want to cause the war in the eight states to expand.
The concubines of the Grand Council are all Kwantung warriors, so they naturally know their priorities clearly. If they lose their conscience and become confused, then justice will be in their hearts' content.
I will set off immediately, leaving early and returning early, and I beg the saint to leave a place close to me, riding in front of me and behind the horse, to lead the way for you."
Yiyin nodded.
"Go ahead and meet me in Taicheng, the capital of the country, when you come back."
Naomasa Ii bowed and left, turning around to leave. A question arose in the minds of all the ladies present, Taicheng, the national capital?
Yiyin glanced at Zhu Ji and said.
"The rebels are divided into two groups, one in the south and one in the north.
I can't give them a chance to join together, I have to attack first and defeat them all.
The rebels on the northern front were personally led by Satake Yoshige. Her prestige was high, coupled with the large number of coalition forces from Hitachi Shimono and the two countries.
I intend to avoid their sharp edge and attack the Boso Peninsula Allied Forces on the southern front first."
Yi Yin has already made a calculation in his mind. There are still doubts and scruples within the Oriental People. He will seize the initiative, find a soft persimmon first, and use a victory to intensify the differences within the Oriental People.
Shimoso-goku is the central country that connects the east and west of the eight Kanshu provinces. Furukawa Castle in the north directly faces the Hitachi Country of Shimono Country, and Taicheng, the national capital in the south, blocks the Kamizōgoku Security State.
Shimono Kingdom and Hitachi Kingdom are both big countries with strong strength. Satake Yoshige comes from a famous family, has both civil and military skills, and can be regarded as a strong general.
With her guarding the rebels on the northern front, even if Yiyin was lucky enough to win a battle, it would be difficult to shake the rebels' will to fight for a while.
But the Satomi family on the southern line was different.
The Satomi family was a famous family in Anbo country. It declined in the early years. It was only with the support of the Hojo family that it could rise again and rule the old territory again.
Anfang is a small country with weak strength. Even if the main country is added, the strength of the two countries is still not enough.
Therefore, the Satomi family has been coveting the Shimo-shogunate over the years, and has also turned against the Hojo family, causing a tug of war between the two countries.
However, the Satomi family had high ambitions and few talents, and was in chaos internally, and was constantly beaten by Hojo Ujiyasu. Every time the two families fought, the Satomi family suffered from internal and external troubles, and was in disgrace.
Fortunately, Uesugi Kenshin went south to conquer Kanto, which temporarily prevented the Hojo family from taking care of the Boso Peninsula, and the Satomi family finally managed to survive.
This time, the Satomi family jumped out again and rebelled with the people of the East. Yoshigan was unable to deal with Satake Yishige for the time being, so he naturally went to the southern front to push back the Satomi family and frighten the people of the East.
Although this is a good idea, Yiyin only took fifty or so fellow soldiers with him on this trip. Even if the Satomi family's military strength is weak, it cannot be defeated by just a few dozen people.
Kamouso Clan couldn't help but ask.
"Sage, you want to go south to Taicheng, the capital of the country, to fight against the Satomi family? But we don't have any soldiers in our hands?"
The last confrontation between the Hojo family and the Satomi family was interrupted by Uesugi Kenshin's move south.
The power of the Hojo family shrank for a time and they withdrew from the Lower Main Kingdom. The Satomi family suffered heavy losses near Taicheng, the national capital, and also retreated to the Upper Main Kingdom.
The Taicheng area of ​​the national capital once became a vacuum zone buffer zone, controlled by the Takagi family, the important ministers of the Chiba family, who were the peripheral forces of the Hojo family.
Wealthy people like the Gaocheng family simply do not have the strength to dominate a major town like Taicheng, the national capital, for a long time. They can only temporarily fill the vacuum between the two major forces.
The Sibo family has almost no influence in the lower country. Yiyin wants to go south to resist the enemy. Where will the troops come from?
Yoshigan shook his head, ignoring the question of Kamou Clan for now, and turned to look at Kada Harusuke.
"Kada-hime."
"The foreign minister is here."
"Tonight, I will quietly leave Furukawa City with my colleagues. You have to show that I am still here, do you understand?"
"Hi! I will obey the saint's will!"
"Satake Yoshige's vanguard will be here within three days, and most of the army will arrive within ten days.
I don't care what means you use, just hold her off for twenty days for me. If you can do it well, I won't argue with you this time."
Kada Harusuke bowed solemnly and said.
"Please rest assured, Saint, I will definitely hold back Satake Yishige!"
Yoshigan made no demands on the Ashikaga Yoshiji from the beginning to the end, because he could not severely punish the nominal master of Guan Hachishu, a member of his own clan.
But Harusuke Kada is different. She is the actual controller of the Furukawa Territory. This time Yoshihiro was deceived and went south, and was almost pocketed by Yoshige Satake. Harusuke Kada is to blame.
Now, Yiyin gives her a chance to atone for her sins, so she will naturally try her best to redeem her sins and make meritorious deeds.
Yoshigan doesn't want the soldiers led by Furukawa. As long as Harusuke Kada is able to lay out suspicions and delay time, Harusuke Kada will be happy to do so.
The rebels would not be able to attack the city until ten days later. Kada Harusuke only had to pretend that Yoshigan was still in the city and then be besieged by the rebels for ten days to complete the task.
As long as the delay lasts for twenty days, every extra day will be a profit. If it can't be delayed, the worst case scenario is negotiating good terms and peacefully opening the city. How dare Satake Yoshishige disrespect the Kanto general? Massacre the city to vent his anger?
Yoshigan's request is beneficial and harmless to the Furukawa leader, so why not do it? Kada Harusuke should do his best to do this well.
After saying this, Yoshigami nodded towards Ashikaga Yoshiji.
"I have to go back and prepare for my trip out of the city in the evening. Let's take a step first."
Ashikaga Yoshiji felt relieved and bowed respectfully to say goodbye.
"Sage, please help yourself and wish you good luck in martial arts."
After Yoshigan left, Ashikaga Yoshiji and Kada Harusuke looked at each other, their faces were pale, their heads were sweating, and they looked relieved.
Ashikaga Yoshiji cursed in a low voice.
"Those bastards from the East are looking for death themselves, and they want to drag me into the water.
Kada-hime, you must do what the sage ordered you to do, and you must not let the sage down.
otherwise.."
Harusuke Kada nodded slightly.
"I know it well, so Kamakura-don can rest assured."
———
As soon as he walked out of the tea room, Yiyin sent Kirigage Caizou away. Three days was very short, so don't waste time following him.
Returning to his own courtyard, under the Yi Gin seat, Kamaojigo and Odajiji sat separately.
Yiyin said.
"In Pu Sheng's Township, there are still two or three hours until dark. Please immediately pull out the list of the martial arts association, let all the free people come in, and write a letter together."
Kamao clan bowed and went out, calling everyone except packing their bags.
Odajiji hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.
"Who does the saint want to borrow troops from?"
Oda Ujiharu didn't even care about his territory and came to inform Yoshigan. Now he had put all his chips on Yoshigan, so he was naturally concerned about Yoshigan's next strategy.
