Minister Irobe knew that Uesugi Terutora would not be willing to use the land of Echigo Kingdom to compensate the Irobe family for the new Kanto territory they lost this time.
Then she took the initiative to ask for help, named Sano Masatsuna, and got what she needed from this traitor.
The color director knew very well that Terutora Uesugi was by no means a person who swallowed his anger.
The two traitors, Mouri Kagehiro and Sano Masatsuna, occupied the Ubashi Territory and the Sano Territory respectively, blocking the path of Echigo's army going south. Uesugi Terutora must remove these two nails.
Terutora Uesugi stayed temporarily in Numata Castle and refused to return to Kasugayama Castle in Echigo Province. He just couldn't bear to take this breath and wanted to go south again. Military mobilization in the rear area never stopped.
Irobashi Minoru volunteered to join the war. After taking the Sano Territory, Uesugi Terutora would definitely return the Irobe family's lost territory to him.
What's more, based on his military exploits in this battle, Minister Se is likely to be rewarded with more land.
Sano Masatsuna, a wallflower, offended the Hojo family and the Uesugi family successively. She thought she was proud of herself and jumped around, but it was actually a way to die.
The Uesugi army went south to attack the Sano Territory, but the Hojo family would never come to rescue her, and the original battle with the Sano Territory would be repeated.
That battle left a psychological shadow on the Hojo family. Hojo Ujiyasu finally managed to get back a win, and he would never risk his family's fortune easily again.
In this way, the Irobe family can not only regain the lost territory, but the Irobe family understands the requirements of current affairs and also gains the favor of Uesugi Teruhu.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Uesugi Teruhora's face softened because of Irocho's sensible answer, he raised his glass to the sky and said.
"I promise you, Irobe Katsunaga will not die in vain, and I will make Sano Masatsuna pay the price.
Come, let’s toast your mother together.”
"Hi!"
The two of them took a swig from the pot, Shirocho Minoru wiped his mouth, and looked at Uesugi Teruhora with a strange brilliance in his eyes.
It stands to reason that Irobe Katsunaga's original warning to her was correct. The Irobe family cannot afford to offend Shiba Yigen, so Irobe should be more peaceful and try to forget that incident for the sake of the continuation of the family business.
But the hatred that penetrated deep into her bones cut her heart like a knife.
Minister Shiro knew very well that smearing the reputation of Shiba Yoshigan and bringing this matter to Uesugi Teruatora would not only be of no benefit to him, but would also run the risk of Uesugi Teruatora becoming angry.
But she just wasn't willing to let that bitch Yoshigan Shiba feel comfortable. She just wanted to get rid of the scandal that Harunobu Takeda had done to smear Yoshigan Shiba's daughter.
This matter has nothing to do with profit, it is just for fun and to vent the resentment that has been pent up in her heart for many years.
Teruhora Uesugi drank a bottle of wine, saw the erotic minister Minoru looking at him in a daze, and smiled.
"What? Is this wine not to your liking?"
Se Changshi's eyes turned red, he lowered his head and secretly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, pretending to cry.
"Today I drink with you, my lord. The wine is good wine, but I feel a little sad for you in my heart."
Teruhora Uesugi is a little confused.
"Feel sorry for me?
On the battlefield, life and death are determined, and wealth is in the sky. If you lose, you lose. At worst, you will win back next time.
Okay, ladies, stop crying and imitating that man's behavior and making people laugh."
Uesugi Teruhora apparently misunderstood, thinking that Irobuchi was really sad because he was drinking and becoming depressed.
In fact, she used wine to relieve her worries, not because of the war, but because of the love in her heart.
During this expedition, Uesugi Teruhora deceived Shiba Yoshigan and left alone. After the defeat, she really didn't know how to explain to her sweetheart.
She may not care about defeat, but she really doesn't want to face Shiba Yiyin's disappointed eyes.
I was so sad that I had no choice but to stay awake and not get drunk.
A flash of light flashed in the eyes of the color minister, and he continued his performance, pretending to hesitate to speak, laughed twice, raised his head and drank his own bottle of wine.
She was so coy that she attracted the attention of Uesugi Teruhu, who asked in confusion.
"Is it something else?"
The color minister looked hesitant, then fell deeply to the ground and said.
"My lord's admiration for Odaisho is well known to everyone in Echigo.
You know, I stayed in Hokushinano for a long time and learned some news. When I learned about it, I was also frightened.
But the master treats me and the Sebu family with great affection and kindness. I can’t bear that the master is kept in the dark by outsiders, so I broke into tears."
Terutora Uesugi put down the new sake bottle he picked up just now and looked at Minoru Irobashi with a solemn expression.
"Hokushinano? What did you hear in Hokushinano?"
The color director gritted her teeth and breathed heavily. This was her last chance, and it was still too late to regret it.
But thinking of the tragic death of Shinbada's family, and of the proud Honjo Nobunaga, the resentment in Izuku Minoru's heart was like poison, eroding her reason, causing her restraint to gradually collapse.
She lowered her head and said quietly.
"His Majesty Takeda captured the Suruga Kingdom with lightning speed, but when Echigo's army went south to fight the Hojo family, His Highness Takeda did nothing.
My lord, don’t you think this is strange? With His Highness Takeda’s wisdom, don’t you know how to take advantage of the situation and stab the Hojo family in the back?”
Uesugi Teruhora groaned and said.
"She was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, hoping to wait until both Hojo Ujiyasu and I were injured before going down the mountain to pick peaches.
Unfortunately, the Hojo family was defeated too quickly and miserably in the battle of Sano Territory. Before she had time to react, our army surrounded Odawara Castle.
Is she, Takeda Harunobu, willing to make a wedding dress for me? I have no choice but to stand still."
There was a weird smile on Irocho Minoru's lowered face, but Uesugi Teruhu couldn't see it.
She said slowly.
"As far as I know, that's not the case."
Teruhora Uesugi glanced at the back of her head, which was lying on the ground, and frowned.
"Oh? What should I say?"
The color minister bit his back teeth and said slowly.
"It is said that His Highness Takeda adopted a baby girl on his way back to the Kai Castle. After returning, he became a monk and practiced Buddhism, taking the name Shingen."
Terutora Uesugi felt an inexplicable panic in his heart and hummed.
"What on earth are you going to say!"
Shirobu Minoru raised his head, looked directly at Terutora Uesugi, and spoke word by word.
"There are rumors in Kitano Shinano that her adopted daughter was not adopted...but...was stranded in Sunpu Castle because she was giving birth...
It was summer when I gave birth to a girl.”
Terutora Uesugi was a little confused at first, mumbling and repeating.
"Summer.. giving birth to a girl.."
Teru Uesugi's eyes opened wider and wider because she suddenly realized that she was ten months pregnant.
Valley branch
Ten months of pregnancy is just an imaginary number. The actual pregnancy cycle is nine and a half months. Calculating Takeda Harunobu's days of incubation, she was pregnant around the time of the Battle of Kawanakajima.
During the Battle of Kawanakajima, the elite Takeda-Uesugi family came out with all their strength. If they were not careful, the family business would be ruined. How could Takeda Harunobu be interested in playing with men at that critical moment?
Unless...the Takeda family suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Kawanakajima, and even Takeda Harunobu's closest sister, Takeda Nobushige was killed.
Thinking of Yoshigan Shiba being arrested in Yantian City, and remembering that Yantian City held the funeral of Takeda Nobushige, Uesugi Terutora felt a buzz in his head and went blank for an instant.
Uesugi Teruhora didn't want to believe, or even couldn't believe, that Takeda Harunobu would do such a shameless thing? If she really did it, why didn't Shiba Yoshigan tell him?
Looking back now, at the time of Beixin, Shiba Yiyin's return was indeed a bit strange.
Uesugi Teruhu's hands couldn't help but tremble, she held them tightly and growled in a low voice.
"How dare you talk nonsense and slander Duke Qianxin's reputation? I will kill you!"
Uesugi Teruhora was a pioneering figure with a majestic spirit. Now his eyes were piercing into the eyes of Irocho Minoru, and his murderous intent was revealed. Irocho Minoru could not bear it.
She bowed deeply to the ground and said.
"I don't dare! I just told Your Highness what I saw and heard, and I didn't dare to hide anything!
