The sliding door opened instantly, and Yamazaka Yukimori rushed in outside, bowing and saluting.
Yiyin pointed at the Third Taifu of Baidi and ordered.
"Palm mouth!"
Yamanaka Yukimori shouted in joy, pulled up the third wife of Momochi, and opened her bow from left to right. He slapped her with a series of slaps, which made stars appear in her eyes.
"Okay, stop."
In just a moment, Bai Di San Taifu's delicate face was red and swollen, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
Yiyin wiped the palm where he had been slapped with a silk scarf, then threw the scarf out and landed in front of her.
"Do your part, don't do anything that is not enough."
The Third Master of Baidi suppressed the feeling of dizziness and kowtowed to the ground.
"I understand that I am guilty. I did not mean to blaspheme your lord. I was just afraid of being slighted to you and wanted to be more respectful."
Of course she didn't dare to say that she used charm to seduce her master, but she didn't expect that Shiba Yiyin's senses were so keen and she suffered a lot.
In desperation, I could only explain it first and secretly change the concept to avoid greater impact.
Yiyin didn't doubt anything else, nodded and said calmly.
"Get out of here.
I promised you to let go of the past, and I will certainly keep my word. This beating is a lesson to you for not believing in the Lord.
If you do good things in the future, I will not hesitate to reward you."
The third wife of Baidi let out a cry of joy, endured the pain, kowtowed and resigned. Although she suffered a little physical pain, she felt much more at ease in her heart.
After she left, Yamanaka Yukimori picked up his master's silk scarf. He didn't know whether to give it to Yoshihiro or throw it away, so he was stunned for a moment.
Yiyin sighed secretly, this child was too innocent. After being teased by Yiyin that night, he began to consciously keep his distance again.
Except for official business, I avoid him all the time, which makes me feel uncomfortable.
Yiyin said coldly.
"Yamanaka-hime, come here."
Yamanaka Yukimori hesitated for a moment, then obediently came over.
Yiyin grabbed her collar, pulled her over and kissed her lips fiercely, even using his tongue to pry open her teeth and penetrate deeply.
Yamanaka Yukimori's eyes widened in disbelief. He loosened his grip and the silk scarf fell to the ground again.
Yi Gin kissed her until she was about to suffocate, then let her go, took two big breaths, and threatened Yamanaka Yukimori fiercely.
"Yamaka Yukimori, listen to me! I won't allow you to ignore me, do you hear me?"
Yamanaka Yukimori looked at Yoshiyin blankly, and suddenly the corners of his mouth turned up, his eyebrows curved, and a moving smile appeared.
"Hi!"
———
Just as Shiba Yiyin was in Tomei City, he was busy appeasing his important ministers.
Uesugi Teruhora's military force has turned back to Joetsu, re-adjusted its logistics route at Kasugayama Castle, and moved towards Shinano.
Kawanaka Island is an alluvial plain where the Sai River and Chikuma River meet, with Zenkoji Temple in the north and Katsurao Castle in the south.
Murakami Yoshikiyo lost his home city of Katsurao Castle and fled all the way to Zenkoji Temple.
Zenkoji Temple is one hundred and forty miles away from Kasugayama Castle. Uesugi Teruhora went south to Shinano and took the Togakushi Passage.
After establishing a logistics base at Katsurayama Castle, we continued our march over Mt. Omine and approached Murakami Yoshikiyo of Zenkoji Temple.
At this time, Zenkoji Temple was also looking gloomy and gloomy.
Inside the pavilion, all the Murakami Iehime warriors were looking sad. Murakami Yoshikiyo's daughter, Murakami Yoshiri, said sadly.
"Mother, there is news from the south that Yantian City has fallen, and the people of the sixteen surrounding cities have been kidnapped as slaves and sold to the Kingdom of Kaifei."
Murakami Yoshikiyo closed her eyes in pain. She could not imagine the miserable fate of those relatives and retainers who fell into the hands of the Takeda family.
The Murakami family and the Takeda family have been fighting for many years, and the two sides have deep hatred. Once Takeda Harunobu succeeds in a surprise attack, she will never be given a chance to counterattack.
This move would destroy the foundation of the Murakami family.
The Murakami family was very powerful in the southern part of the Chikuma River, with Katsurao Castle, Yantian Castle, and Toishi Castle all competing against each other.
This area is the base of the Murakami family. It has been established for hundreds of years and has a deep foundation and popular support.
Takeda Harunobu was afraid that the local samurai family would assist Murakami Yoshikiyo, so he launched a rebellion against the Takeda family and simply wiped out the roots.
Although being denounced as a slave was cruel and violent, which attracted attention, it also solved the future troubles once and for all.
The Hokushin Samurai was the Shinano force that fought most fiercely against the Takeda family. Takeda Harunobu was trying to scare the monkeys and show other Shinano forces what would happen if they went against the Takeda family.
Murakami Yoshikiyo took a deep breath and said.
"If there is any other bad news, let me share it with you."
Murakami Yoshitoshi hesitated and said.
"Takanashi Castle fell, and the Takanashi family was destroyed. In the southern part of Kawanaka Island, the vanguard of the Takeda family appeared."
Murakami Yoshikiyo's pupils shrank.
The Takanashi family was entrenched in the northeast of Kawanaka Island and had been entangled with the Murakami family in the southern part of Kawanaka Island for many years. She didn't expect that their old enemy would be gone, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
The Takeda army came from the south to completely wipe out the last resistance force of Murakami Yoshikiyo and capture the entire territory of Hokushin.
Should I fight or surrender?
The next person bowed and spoke impassionedly.
"Takeda Harunobu is a vicious and vicious man. Your Highness Murakami, you and I are both from a distinguished family in Shinano, and we must never bow to this Kaidasha gangster."
The speaker was Ogasawara Nagatoki, governor of the Ogasawara family and hereditary guardian of Shinano.
It's funny to say that the Murakami family is known as the Shinano General, and they have competed with the Ogasawara family for the dominance of the Shinano Kingdom for more than a hundred years. In the end, the two families were driven together by Takeda Harunobu to hug each other for warmth.
Murakami Yoshikiyo heard the implication of Ogasawara Nagakaku's words and shuddered.
If Takeda Harunobu plays it safe, others may survive, and Murakami Yoshikiyo and Ogasawara, who threaten her rule over Shinano, will surely die.
Murakami Yoshikiyo gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Your Highness Ogasawara is right, we will never surrender and we will fight her to the death!"
He spoke harshly, but he still had no confidence in his heart. He was not sure whether he would surrender in the end. He couldn't let the Murakami family be destroyed by his own hands, right?
Murakami Yoshikiyo asked his daughter.
"Have the reinforcements from Echigo not arrived yet?"
Just as Murakami Yoshitoshi was about to shake his head, an envoy's announcement came from outside the door and Uesugi Teruhora's troops appeared behind the mountain.
Murakami Yoshikiyo and others were overjoyed and went out to greet him.
Zenkoji is an ancient temple and is not suitable for a large army to defend. The Murakami Army was stationed next to Zenkoji at the foot of Omine Mountain, looking southward at the alluvial plain of Kawanaka Island according to the mountain.
Behind Mt. Omine is the Togakushi Passage, and Katsurayama Castle, as a major pass, blocks the passage to the Joetsu direction.
The Kuzuyama people of Kazuyama Castle had surrendered to Uesugi Teruhora, and the logistics of Uesugi's army were smooth, so they pushed forward to Zenkoji Temple in one go.
The two armies came together, and Shangshan's troops set up camp.
With the Murakami family in decline, Murakami Yoshikiyo could only bow his head and act small, bringing a group of samurai to the Uesugi Teruhora Honjin shogunate to participate in military discussions.
Murakami Yoshikiyo lowered his profile, and Uesugi Terutora also cordially comforted them. The Hokishin samurai's surrender was an important way for the Uesugi army to break into the situation in Shinano, so they could not let their hearts go cold.
Although Terutora Uesugi was very angry, he looked down on these Hokushin samurai who had been screwed over by Takeda Harunobu due to internal strife.
But for the sake of face, I want to give Azumuragami Yoshikiyo and Ogasawara long-term courtesy and say it gently.
"Your Highness Murakami, Your Highness Ogasawara, please rest assured that I will protect the safety of the Hokushin Takeru family and allow Takeda Harunobu to retreat when faced with difficulties."
Murakami Yoshikiyo heard a different meaning, and she couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness Uesugi has no intention of escaping from Kawanaka Island and regaining Hokushin?"
Hokushin's military strength can mobilize about ten reserve troops. This time, Takeda Harunobu succeeded in the surprise attack. The remaining troops here are only a thousand, and they have no strength to counterattack.
If Teruhora Uesugi doesn't have the intention to march, they can't do it on their own.
Murakami Yoshikiyo was very anxious, and all the Hokushin Princess warriors were also panicked.
Terutora Uesugi comforted him.
"When I heard His Highness Murakami asked for help, I immediately brought the Vietnamese troops to come to the rescue. Echigo's country had not yet completed mobilization and its military strength was insufficient.
I want to wait until after the summer harvest to assemble the army and argue with Takeda Harunobu."
Murakami Yoshikiyo felt a little relieved, and this reason was reasonable.
Ogasawara Nagaki suddenly said from the side.
"I heard that there was a rebellion in Echigo, and it was the Takeda family who was behind it.
May I ask His Highness Uesugi if this is the case?"
Terutora Uesugi was stunned. The Ogasawara family had deep roots in Shinano. Even if they fell to this point, they were still well-informed and could not be deceived.
She had to be honest and sincere.
"Not only was the Echigo rebellion, Nishi Ueno was also under pressure from the Hojo family.
Takeda Harunobu was very vicious. He planned to kidnap and kill me on my way back to Luoyang and messed up my retreat.
I will never let go of such a villain!"
Ogasawara asked curiously for a long time.
"Your Highness Uesugi went to Luo? Why?"
Teru Uesugi waved his hand and said lightly.
"It's not a big deal, it's just the matter of Kenmasa Uesugi adopting me as his adopted daughter.
Shangluo asked for instructions from Lord Gongfang, and received permission from the shogunate to allow me to inherit the Yamauchi Uesugi family and the Kanto administration."
Uesugi Teruhora put on a show, and Murakami Yoshikiyo and Ogasawara looked at each other for a long time, ecstatic.
