"Sanada Nobushige, haven't you done enough harm to Azuma County? Nagano is getting angry, can you withstand it?"
Does Yoshigan like Nagano Yamai? Of course he doesn't like it. But just because he doesn't like it doesn't mean he must be killed.
From a geographical point of view, Nishi Ueno exerted condescending pressure from west to east on the Kanpachishu territory obtained by the Echigo army this time. From a military point of view, Echigo's new territory was extremely passive.
It was only Nagano Yamasa who had no intention of causing trouble, restrained himself, and actively surrendered to Uesugi Teruhora, that he managed to maintain a balance.
Yoshigan now intends to return to Japan and settle the bad things in the Kyoto shogunate. He does not want to cause trouble in Nishi Ueno.
Even if he knew that this was a hidden danger, there was no need to provoke Nagano Yamasa at this juncture and force him to jump over the wall.
Seeing that Shiba Yoshigan was a little annoyed and seemed dissatisfied with his attempt to cause trouble in Nishi Ueno, Sanada Nobushige was calm.
Before coming, Umino Riichi had already helped her sort out her thoughts.
The two masters, Yoshigan Shiba and Terutora Uesugi, were actually very concerned about Nagano Yasumasa's independent status in Nishi Ueno without any constraints.
The reason for acquiescence is simply because the time is not yet ripe.
At this time, Yoshihiro Shiba is most anxious about the Kyoto shogunate, and Teru Uesugi is most concerned about defeating the Hojo family.
As long as Nagano Yamasa is willing to cooperate with the Kanto strategy, there is no need for the two masters to touch her.
And the idea that Umino and his gang came up with was to act rogue.
Sanada Nobushige said blankly.
"Otai Suo, I am doing my job for you, how can I say that I am causing harm to someone else?
Whether it is the Sanada people or Azuma County, they are all your lackeys, your territory, and I am the gatekeeper for you.
I have always admired and respected Mr. Nagano Yamasa for his high moral character. I am in Azuma County and she is in Minawa City. We each have our own territory and do not invade each other.
This time I came here just to help an old acquaintance of the Sanada family find a place to live and find food to eat. This is human nature.
Mr. Nagano won't mind, right? She's such a good person, she won't force her eldest daughter-in-law to die of hunger and cold, right?
Maybe she will even thank me.
Moreover, I am a principled person. If others are polite to me, I will be more polite. If others are cruel to me, I will be more cruel.
Yutai said that I caused trouble, and I dare not refute it, but I feel so wronged."
Yiyin saw her acting coquettishly and felt a slight pain in her forehead. Who taught her these words? This wild monkey is really good now and knows how to play well.
She grasped a weakness of Nagano Yesumasa, which made Nagano Yesumasa unable to express his suffering.
The Nagano family and the Obata family coexisted in Nishi Ueno, and they were closely related through marriage and alliance.
Even if Nagano Yamasa wanted to move the Kohata family in Kunmine Castle, he would have to go through Kohata Keidei so as not to damage the unity among the people of Nishi Ueno.
The martial arts families are connected by blood, officials protect each other, and relatives hide from each other. This has been the rule of the game for generations.
Nagano Yasumasa expelled his eldest daughter-in-law who had always supported him and intervened in the change of power in the Kohata family in Kunamine City. This was a very taboo thing. She had not just one or two daughters-in-law, but about ten.
Obata Nobusada has been expelled, and Nagano is about to come up with some more methods to eradicate her. I am afraid that once Obata Nobusada dies, many people will immediately fall out with her and part ways.
Yiyin said coldly.
"Why should I, the Kanto Secretariat, interfere with Nishijono's internal affairs?"
Sanada Nobushige said solemnly.
"Obata's family comes from the Kodama Party, one of the seven Musashi clans. Kobata Nobuzada is indeed an imperial family member and is qualified to join the Kanto Palace to serve you."
Yoshigan took a breath, looked at Sanada Nobushige, and faintly saw the face of a girl behind her.
This kind of sinister idea is definitely not what a wild monkey like Sanada Nobushige could come up with. Umino Riichi is really a good strategist.
Yoshihiro Shiba reopened his tavern in Kanto, shouted the slogan of reshaping the royal family group, and recruited heroes from Kanto.
Obata Nobusada's family status was sufficient, and she was recommended by the important minister Sanada Nobunige. There was no problem in the procedure to join the big family of Kanto Shrine.
What could Nagano Yasumasa say? She knew that Sanada Nobushige had bad intentions, but she could only keep smiling, and maybe even congratulated Obata Nobusada.
Sanada Nobushige continued.
"Odaisho, I'm just doing my grandmother a favor to find food for Kobata Nobuzada. Don't worry, I will never cause trouble for you or the Kanto Service Office.
I will take care of the food and drinks for Xiaobata Nobuzada, and let her eat in Azuma County."
Seeing Nobushige Sanada patting his chest and swearing so solemnly, Yoshihiro Shiba couldn't help but roll his eyes.
I believe you as a ghost.
Minawa Castle is to the south of Mount Haruna, and Azuma County is to the north of Mount Haruna. You placed Nobuzada Obata in Azuma County, and Nagano Yoshida couldn't sleep well at night.
The Kohata family in Kunamine City is not a small samurai family. The family governor, Nobuzada Kobata, has been in charge for many years and was casually overthrown by Nagano Yamasa. There are bound to be dissatisfied people in the family.
Sanada Nobushige placed a time bomb at the gate of Nishi Ueno. Is this called staying safe? Is this called not causing trouble?
Yoshigan frowned and was about to say something when Sanada Nobunaga observed his words and spoke first.
"Otaisuo, you see, in the area where the Kanto Minister is located in the Eight Prefectures, there are not many samurai who have come to join us. It is rare for a well-known samurai like Kobata Nobuzada to join us, so it is a great thing.
Moreover, now that Nishi Ueno has lost Obata Nobusada, Nagano Yamasa alone has the final say.
You are about to go back to work nearby. This person is so alienated from people, so if anything goes wrong with Nagano Industry, we have to keep it in reserve.
Do you think this is true?
Don't worry, I promise you that I will never take the initiative to provoke Nagano Yamasa. An old woman with half a foot in the coffin, what do I care about with her?
I understand that you have to find a soft persimmon. Even if I care about her, I would still care about her daughter. Who made me young? I can afford to wait."
The words Yiyin was about to say were blocked in her throat with a smile, and an idea came to her mind.
So damn dark.
But Sanada Nobushige's words do make sense. Nagano is covering the sky in Nishi Ueno. If something unexpected happens, it will always be troublesome.
There was no problem with the procedure for Obata Nobusada to join the Kanto Palace, and Nagano Yamasa couldn't say much.
As long as Sanada Nobushige restrains himself from provoking, it is indeed good for the Kanto Chamber of Commerce to hold a card in its hand to make Nagano Yamasa fearful.
Just as Sanada Nobushige said, he is still young, how long can the seventy-year-old Nagano Yamai live? To deal with such a thousand-year-old fox, it is better to wait for her to die, and it will be easier to deal with her daughter.
Yiyin thought for a while and confirmed.
"You promise not to provoke?"
Sanada Nobushige swears to heaven.
"If I take the initiative to provoke Nagano Yamasa, my whole family will die."
Yiyin sighed, he really had nothing to do with this wild monkey. After thinking about it, it was not a bad thing.
When the Kwantung Allied Forces disbanded in Kamakura, Nagano Yasumasa's attitude was quite negative, which made Uesugi Teruhu very dissatisfied. He was forced by the situation and did not care.
There are powerful martial artists in such an important place. If the chain is lost at a critical moment, big problems will occur.
The Kanto Chamber of Commerce held a card to intimidate her, and Uesugi Teruhu would be happy to see it come to fruition.
After all, Nagano is an ally of Terutora Uesugi. There are things that are inconvenient for her to do, but Yoshigan Shiba can step in and share them.
Yi Gin thought about it and looked at Nobushige Sanada suspiciously, and saw that her eyes were shining with sincerity.
"No trouble?"
"No."
"You must not cause trouble, okay?"
"Odaisuo, I have sworn this."
Yiyin sighed.
"I see.
Next time you come, take Xiaoban Xinzhen with you. I will give her the identity of the United Front and a salary, and she will stay in your territory from now on.
Remember, Nagano Yamasa is not a simple person, please be more respectful. Obata Nobuzada is just a back-up to intimidate her not to act recklessly, and no provocation is allowed!"
Sanada Nobushige looked serious, kowtowed to the ground and said.
"I will strictly follow the teachings of the imperial court, and Sanada Nobunaga will not dare to violate them."
Yiyin sighed again and rubbed his temples. Why did he always feel uneasy?
———
At the foot of Sanfeng Mountain, Sanada and his party were waiting outside the flag's cordon.
Sanada Nobushige hurriedly came down from the mountain and said excitedly to the leader, Umino Riichi.
"Liu Niang, you're done!
Although the imperial office was a little reluctant, he finally relented and asked me to take Nobuzada Kobata to see him next time and grant him the status of United Front Officer."
Umino Riichi looked cold and nodded.
"Nagano Yamasa is old and passive. Her existence is already detrimental to the advancement of the Kanto strategy, and it first appeared in Kamakura.
Of course, the wise and powerful emperor of the imperial court could see the hidden dangers, but due to the situation, he could not act as the villain himself.
If you are willing to come out and be the first person, he will naturally be willing to accept it half-heartedly."
Sanada Nobunaga touched his head and asked.
“But what happens next?
I swear to heaven in front of the Imperial Palace that if I take the initiative to provoke you, my whole family will die."
Umino Riichi said coldly.
"I asked you to emphasize proactive provocation in front of the imperial office, which is to deliberately create this blind spot loophole.
We do not provoke, but others can provoke Nagano Yamasa. Nagano Yamasa can tolerate it, but Minawa may not be able to tolerate it. Humanity is so sophisticated that you can avoid it wherever you want.
If you live in troubled times, you will either let other people's whole families die, or your whole family will die, there is no other way to go."
Sanada Nobushige shrugged and said.
"You make arrangements and I'll do it.
Anyway, I have already left the Sanada family, and now one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. Even if I break my vow, it doesn’t matter if I think about it carefully."
Umino Lee said calmly with a cold look in his eyes.
"The time has come.
The mother and daughter of Yuwei Yukizai abused their power and took control of the Shuni review committee to frame Zhongliang for personal gain. Their crimes are unforgivable.
Lord, it's time to make a decision."
Sanada Nobushige nodded.
"Okay, when we get back, we will arrest the four of them, mother and daughter, and kill their whole family first.
Everyone was busy in the winter, and the murder was not something that everyone would enjoy as much as the fun of killing alone, so all the governors of the Shiye clan came to watch the show.
I have already told them that people from my hometown should not be too strict in doing things. After finally leaving the mountain and living a good life, if you are greedy, you are not afraid of choking yourself to death.
Give the Azumas a way to survive, so that we can all go out together to rob others."
Umino Riichi bowed and said.
"The Lord is wise."
Seeing Sanada Nobushige and Umino Riichi chatting in the cold wind, the chat became more and more interesting. Sarutobi Sasuke on the side stamped his feet in the cold and said helplessly.
"My lord, why don't you go back and talk again? It's very windy at the foot of the mountain. It's freezing me to death."
Sanada Nobushige glanced at her disdainfully and said.
"Sasuke, you are becoming more and more squeamish."
Sarutobi Sasuke curled his lips.
In the past, I was so poor that I had no clothes to wear or a house to live in, so I had to endure the cold winter. Now we are considered a respectable Wu family, why do we have to suffer the cold deliberately? Is it sweet to remember the bitterness?
Sanada Nobushige teased her that he felt a little cold too, and asked everyone to mount their horses and return to camp.
As she mounted her horse, she suddenly remembered something.
"Sasuke, Kirigakure Saizo seems to have been promoted, and is now in charge of the military intelligence network in Kanto.
You've been idle all day with nothing to do, why not go get close to her and find some work?"
Sarutobi Sasuke glanced at Sanada Nobushige suspiciously and said.
"I'm from the Koga-ryu, and I'm going to work for the Iga-ryu? How am I mean? My lord, what bad ideas are you thinking about?"
Sanada Nobunaga said thiefly.
"They are old friends after all. Let's keep in touch and get some information for us."
Sarutobi Sasuke glared at her and said.
"Leaking information privately is a serious crime. Among ninjas, family law is enforced. Even being cut into pieces is considered a light crime."
Sanada Nobushige was shocked and pretended to be shocked.
"Is there still such a thing? Under the rule of the Kanto Minister, such things of killing colleagues still happened?
What are the ninjas? They are members of the same military group, with a formal establishment, and they have to follow rules when doing things.
Don't worry, just do it with peace of mind, I'll take care of you if anything happens."
Sarutobi Sasuke jumped on his horse and cursed.
"I won't help you do such stupid things."
She rode her horse for a few steps, turned around and asked.
"That guy from Kirigakure, where has he been recently?"
Sanada Nobushige chuckled.
"I heard that he is still on the Musashi front line and has not returned."
Sarutobi Sasuke made a sound and said.
"As you said, if something happens, you'll take care of it."
Sanada Nobunaga slapped his chest.
"They are all my sisters, can they still harm you?
Just go directly to Kirigakure Saizo and tell me, Odaisho asked me to keep an eye on Nagano Yamasa, will she give me this information?"
Looking at his master who was so audacious and falsely conveyed his will, Sarutobi Sasuke felt his teeth sore, feeling that he would be tricked to death by her sooner or later.
———
Shimono Country, outside Sano Castle.
Irobe Katsunaga, who was stationed at Sano Castle by Terutora Uesugi, welcomed his daughter, Irobe Minoru, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Irobu Minami saw Irobe Katsunaga from a distance, galloping towards her on his horse, got off his horse, and knelt down in front of her.
"Mother, I'm back."
Irobe Katsunaga nodded.
"Get up."
Mother and daughter looked at each other. Irobe Katsunaga looked at it for a while and said.
"you lost weight."
The color minister smiled bitterly.
After the Battle of Kawanakajima, she was punished and stationed in Kaizu Castle. Echigo and the Takeda family called off the war, and she was named Jodai. In fact, she only had a few of her family's cronies under her command, and they were trapped and suffering together.
Over the past year or so, she almost went crazy. Outside the city was the territory of Sanada Matsushiro Domain and Sanada Nobushige.
These guys from the Shiye clan simply looked down upon her, a coward who abandoned her master and ran away in the middle of battle. They made things difficult for her if she wanted to go out of the city to buy some daily necessities.
