Chapter eight hundred and eighty seventh you will regret it
Yiyin shook his head helplessly.
"You will regret this.
One day, you will know that I am not worthy of your sacrifice, and you will feel unworthy of yourself."
Terutora Uesugi smiled and walked quickly towards the sliding door. When he opened the door, he turned around and gave Yoshigage a hearty smile.
"I remember I told you several times that I never regret anything I do.
So, try to persuade me in other words next time."
Yiyin put his right hand on his forehead, bowed his head and said nothing. You will definitely regret it, sooner or later, you will!
After Uesugi Teruhora disappeared outside the sliding door, the little girl from the Kamo clan walked in step by step, approached Yoshigan and bowed.
"Royal Palace."
Yiyin glanced at her and asked expressionlessly.
"Everyone is gone?"
"Hi!
There are too many things to discuss just now, the Kanto strategy is complicated, and time is tight, so everyone is rushing back to work."
"Where are Shima Katsume and Yamanaka Yukimori? They're gone too?"
The village head of Kamao clan looked at Yoshiyin cautiously, but didn't see any clues from his face, so he had to think carefully about his words to answer.
"The two adults also went back without saying anything. There was no dispute."
Yiyin closed her eyes helplessly.
No one stayed, and no one spoke. They were all mired in thoughts, not even giving themselves a chance to make up stories!
Go ahead and think nonsense, go ahead and get into trouble, I don't care, do whatever you want.

Mino Country, Gifu Castle Castle Tower.
Oda Nobunaga sneered at Maeda Toshiie who came to see him.
"I reject."
Maeda Toshiie narrowed his eyes slightly and bowed.
"Your Highness, I think Maeda's interests are very sincere. Suzuka Pass is one of the three passes on the Tokaido Road, and it is the most important pass between Kita Ise and Minami Omi.
In recent years, Sibo was just hoping to buy some food, but after occupying Kitai Ise, we were able to get a stronghold overlooking the Minami Omi.
This is a very good deal.”
Oda Nobunaga looked at Maeda Toshiie coldly and said.
"We? Which we?
Inuchiyo, tell me, are you really doing this for the Shiba family from the standpoint of the Oda family?"
Maeda Toshiie sighed in his heart.
After the beginning of spring, with Hinano Hiroshi joining forces, there was almost no large-scale resistance organized by Higashi Mino. The Oda family conquered numerous cities and captured half of the country of Higashi Mino in no time.
The Simino samurai family's attack on North Ise also went surprisingly smoothly. Although the harvest was not great, the Rokkaku family did not react at all.
You must know that many samurai families in Kitaise are affiliated with the Rokkaku family. This behavior of the Rokkaku family is tantamount to abandoning them.
Oda Nobunaga's ambitions expanded accordingly. Before he could swallow up the entire Higashi Mino, his attention had turned to the eight counties of Northern Ise.
Maeda Toshiie took a fancy to this, so he discussed with Maeda Toshiie. He wanted to use the Suzuka Pass to trade in exchange for the Oda family grain from the Noo Plains.
But now it seems that Oda Nobunaga is more wary of Maeda Toshiie's attitude, which is because he is afraid of Yoshigan Shiba.
As the prestige of Shiba Yoshigan grows, Oda Nobunaga increasingly does not want the Shiba family to continue to be strong, which will become an obstacle to the Oda family's future entry into the near future.
To sell grain now is to support the enemy.
What's more important is that the person who came to lobby for the sale of grain turned out to be Maeda Toshiie, a rebellious minister of Shiba who betrayed the Ashigaru Code of the Shiba family and resolutely moved closer to her.
Oda Nobunaga had to doubt Maeda Toshiie's loyalty and whether she had really changed her mind and turned to the Oda family. If she was wholeheartedly following the Oda family, why did she lobby for the Shiba family?
Maeda Toshiie was the nail that Oda Nobunaga intended to bury in the Shiba family. Now that there might be variables in this nail, she suddenly became alert.
Oda Nobunaga was already domineering and suspicious, but Maeda Toshiie was well prepared for the current situation. She kowtowed to the ground and made a decisive move.
"Of course I am thinking about you and the Oda family.
This matter was initiated by a letter from Toshihisa Maeda. I thought about it for a long time before agreeing. There are three reasons."
Oda Nobunaga looked at her suspiciously.
"Come and let me listen."
"First of all, the Shiba family is the leader of a powerful local faction in the shogunate, and the slightest food problem is not a problem for Kenshin Gong.
Rather than not selling and completely exposing our hostility, it is better to sell some to maintain the friendly relationship between the two parties, which may be useful in the future.
Secondly, Suzuka Pass is an extremely important pass, and there are many samurai families in Northern Ise who rely on the Rokkaku family.
Now the Rokkaku family has no time to do anything, but if her family wants to take action against Kitaise in the future, we control the Suzuka Pass and take the strategic initiative.
It would be a pity not to take this opportunity to buy grain and capture the Suzuka Pass.
Thirdly, the Matsudaira family is conquering Yuanjiang Kingdom..."
Maeda Toshiie was about to speak, but Oda Nobunaga narrowed his eyes and flashed a sharp light.
"you say."
"Hi! Although the Oda and Matsudaira families are allies, His Highness Matsudaira's expansion speed is too fast.
The Imagawa family is dying, and the Takeda family and the Hojo family are fighting together. The Matsudaira family is watching indifferently, waiting for work, and it is possible that all the three kingdoms of the Imagawa family will be occupied by His Highness Matsudaira."
Oda Nobunaga nodded, she also felt that Matsudaira Motoyasu was developing too fast.
Back then, he had quietly taken over the entire Three Rivers Country and was almost on an equal footing with himself.
Fortunately, he successfully won the Meinong Country and widened the gap, thus maintaining his strong position in the alliance.
Now Matsudaira Motoyasu has taken over most of the Toe Kingdom, waiting for the Takeda family and the Hojo family to beat the dog's brains out, and then reap the benefits.
Oda Nobunaga saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. But the two sides were allies. She herself said that one person would go east and the other would go west, and they made a back-to-back covenant.
Although I don't like the rapid expansion of the Matsudaira family, I don't want to do anything behind the scenes to ruin this alliance that is beneficial to me.
Oda Nobunaga asked.
"Selling grain to Shiba Yiyin, what does it have to do with His Highness Matsudaira?"
Seeing that Oda Nobunaga was touched, Maeda Toshiie knew something was going on, so she said seriously.
"Kenshin Gong bought grain to conquer the Hojo family in Kanto.
The Hojo family killed the Kanto governor Yamauchi Uesugi family and disrespected the Kanto general Kamakura Kōkō."
Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and said impatiently.
"Tell the important point."
As Oda Nobunaga became more and more powerful, she no longer bothered to listen to such high-sounding words.
The public etiquette of the Wu family is the righteousness of the world. Oh, it's just selling dog meat on a sheep's head.
Yoshigan Shiba went to Kanto just to expand the Shiba family in the Kanto Plain. But the Hojo family also took a fancy to the Kanto Plain. It was just dog-eat-dog on both sides. There was so much nonsense.
Maeda Toshiie bowed in apology and continued.
"Ken Xin Gong has enough military rations and will go south to the Kanto Plain in the autumn.
The Hojo family was attacked from both sides, so they would inevitably turn to the Ueno and Musashi countries to stabilize their own territory first. As for the Imagawa family's Suruga country, they had to let it go first.
The Takeda family occupied Suruga Province, and the Matsudaira family occupied the western and central part of Toe, blocking both ends of the Imagawa clan and besieging Kakegawa Castle in the east of Toe.
I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to correct."
