The awesome Uesugi Yoshikage made a lot of nonsense at Fushimi Castle, and then he rushed in greedily and was besieged in Tomi no Mori.
The direct consequence of her mistake was that Kosaka Masanobu was killed in battle, and the elite warrior warriors sent by the Uesugi Takeda family suffered heavy losses.
In an ordinary martial arts group, such a big loss would be enough to overturn the status of the heir, but from Yi Yin's point of view, this loss is not a bad thing.
Uesugi Yoshikage's bones are full of the pride of a time traveler. Although she doesn't show it in her daily life, she actually looks down upon the warriors of this era with contempt.
This is not good.
In Yi Yin's view, the elites of every era are not stupid. Modern people are not much smarter than ancient people. There is no intellectual gap between the two sides. The so-called ignorance of the ancients is actually a lack of information.
Uesugi Yoshikage suffered a big loss this time. It would be a good thing if he could learn from it and reflect on his arrogance.
It is better to suffer losses late than to suffer losses early. When you are young, you can still get up after falling. If you fall down again when you are older, you may not have the chance to do it again.
Although the eleven-year-old Uesugi Yoshikage has a mature soul as a time traveler, in the eyes of samurai society, she is still a half-grown child, and her mistakes are understandable.
With the prestige of Yiyin and the strength of Sibo Shenquan, it is naturally enough to smooth out the negative impact of this time, and even turn bad things into good things. Through heavy losses, the Wu family under his command shares the same hatred.
More importantly, through this tragic defeat, Uesugi Yoshikage and Takeda Yoshinobu established a bond of iron and blood, which is far deeper than the bond of half-sisters.
The Takeda people fought to the end to save Uesugi Yoshikage's rear, and the Uesugi people suffered heavy losses in order to regain the body of Kosaka Masanobu.
Takeda and Uesugi, two powerful samurai groups who were once incompatible, established unprecedented mutual trust through this bloody battle involving the heirs of both sides.
In troubled times, trust is more precious than gold.
The mutual trust between the two parties is conducive to Uesugi Yoshikage's future rule and also ensures Takeda Yoshinobu's future status.
From Yiyin's perspective, this is the biggest gain from this battle.
From Yi Yin's point of view, there is no harm in losing some elites. The Sibo family is now strong and has many men who are willing to die and can afford to die.
But the unity of the descendants of God is priceless and extremely rare.
Yoshigan decided to go to Luo in advance, on the one hand, it was to stabilize the hearts and minds of Toba Fushimi's defense line, and to bring the military strength of Maeda Toshiie, Maeda's interests, and Nizi Yukimori to the front line, it would immediately stabilize the hearts of the people.
Compared with the situation of the war, Yoshigage is more worried that the battle will damage Uesugi Yoshikage's confidence. This daughter and fellow time traveler is the best heir to continue his political line.
If this battle shatters Uesugi Yoshikage's confidence and makes her no longer energetic and lacks self-confidence, then the gains outweigh the losses.
———
Toba leaves the palace.
The autumn wind was bleak and the fallen leaves were returning to their roots. Yoshikage Uesugi stood alone in the courtyard, feeling very lonely.
Her eyes wandered forward, and suddenly a heavy weight fell on her body, and a thick coat was draped over her shoulders.
Yiyin appeared beside her and said softly.
"Autumn is cold and dewy, be careful not to catch a cold."
Uesugi Yoshikage looked at Yoshigage inexplicably, his eyes were distracted and it seemed that he had not recovered yet. She subconsciously reached out to touch Yoshigage's cheek and asked softly.
"Does this face never age?"
Yiyin frowned, reached out to knock off her little claws, and scolded lightly.
"No matter how old or young you are, I am your father."
Uesugi Yoshikage rubbed his little hand that was slapped away and smiled sadly.
"Yes, you are my father in this life. I have embarrassed my father, and I have embarrassed you."
Yoshigami didn't understand Uesugi Yoshikage's feelings. Uesugi Yoshikage admired him so much and wanted to prove to him that he could do it, but he messed up because he was eager for success.
When a young time traveler stepped onto the battlefield for the first time, he was taught a good lesson by the ancients. This kind of frustration made Yoshikage Uesugi feel ashamed and angry, and he was unable to face the senior time traveler he longed for.
Little did Yoshigan know that Yoshikage Uesugi was facing her own complicated emotions. He was just treating Uesugi Yoshikage with tolerance from a father's perspective and encouraged her to start over.
He touched Uesugi Yoshikage's hair. Uesugi Yoshikage shook his head in disgust and whispered.
"I'm not a child. Although I only look eleven years old, I'm an adult like you. Don't comfort me like a child."
Looking at the angry Uesugi Yoshikage, Yoshigage couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know which sensitive point he had touched on Uesugi Yoshikage, so he changed the subject.
"I heard that you dealt with a rude samurai family in Fushimi Castle? Which samurai warrior was he?"
Uesugi Yoshikage didn't know why Yoshigage suddenly asked about this, but he still answered.
"That person's name is Kuchiki. She should be the reinforcement general of the Kuchiki family in Takashima County, Omi. I already asked her to commit seppuku and apologized, and I ignored her afterwards."
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"You are Young Master Sibo, and she is committing a crime by questioning you in public.
Later, I will ask Yagyu Munenuri's secret censor to investigate and find out what illegal activities the Kuchiki family has committed, and sentence the entire family to exile in the Ou border."
Uesugi Yoshikage was stunned.
"I just conveniently used her to establish my authority. She has committed seppuku, so it won't bring harm to the whole clan, right?"
Yiyin said calmly.
"Originally it wasn't a problem, but now it is."
Yoshikage Uesugi felt heavy, and she understood what Yoshigage meant.
If Uesugi Yoshikage wins this battle, then Kuchiki's doubts about her will become a joke, and Kuchiki will end it after committing seppuku.
But because Yoshikage Uesugi lost this battle, Yoshihiro must suppress the gossip from the outside world and show that his trust in this heir has not been shaken.
Then, Kuchiki's sin of questioning Uesugi Yoshikage was magnified.
Yiyin must intensify the punishment of the entire Kuchiki family, and take a preemptive strike to block the mouths of outsiders, so that they will not dare to fool around anymore.
Uesugi Yoshikage said depressedly.
"But she has already committed seppuku, and according to the tradition of the Wu family, the matter is over.
If you try to punish the entire Kuchiki clan even more for my sake, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive."
Yiyin smiled and said.
"You are right, Kuchiki committed seppuku, her matter is over.
Therefore, the entire Kuchiki clan was exiled because they had committed other illegal acts.
The Wu family is not a believer in men and women, and every family will always have people and things that bully men, dominate women, and do evil, and it is too easy to catch some pigtails."
Uesugi Yoshikage burst into laughter.
"Is this power? You are truly a powerful person who can do whatever you want, father."
Yiyin nodded seriously.
"Yes, this is power. I use my power to protect my daughter. If anyone dares to talk too much, I will kill her whole family."
Uesugi Yoshikage smiled helplessly, looked down at his hands, and sighed.
"I don't know...I don't know if I'm worth all the trouble.
I used to think it was easy for you...I thought it was easy to defeat them...Now, I know how difficult it has been for you these years...
It's really hard to win the battle.
I haven't been able to sleep well these days. Whenever I close my eyes, those Ji warriors who died for me appear in my mind.
They are all elites. They were once so young, full of vitality, and talented. Their futures are full of hope. They are the pride of their parents and husbands, and they are other people's children who are being flaunted.
But now, they are all dead, because of my stupidity and my mistakes, they died in a meaningless defeat.
I used to think that since I was a time traveler, I should be better than these ancient islanders, but reality slapped me in the face and told me that I was stupid.
My life was saved by the efforts of eight or nine hundred elite Ji warriors. I don't know if it was worth it or if they would regret it.
I feel so confused."
Yoshigan laughed. He was very happy to see Uesugi Yoshikage becoming mature. If the death of hundreds of thousands of warriors can make his successors mature, then this defeat is indeed meaningful.
Uesugi Yoshikage, who was responsible for nearly a thousand lives, has truly felt his responsibility, status, and power. This is very good.
Looking at the confused Yoshikage Uesugi, Yoshihiro made a decisive move.
"Of course it's worth it, they deserved their death.
Because of their hard work, their parents will receive generous pensions from the Spall family, their families will be taken care of by the Spall family, and their daughters will receive the Spall family.
To be continued...
