Yiyin lay in Dao Shengmeng's arms. At first, he wanted to pretend to be asleep to avoid Dao Shengmeng's embarrassment, but as soon as he lay down, he was so tired that he fell asleep.

It's funny to say that a loyal and loyal general like Shima Katsuo, who is both wise and brave, would be unintentionally manipulated by a mediocre person like Yamanaka Yukimori who he looked down upon.

Facts have proved that people tend to make mistakes if they press too hard. Shima Shengmu hasn't seen Yoshiyin for two years, so he made a mistake by pressing too hard.

If she didn't want to compete with Yamanaka Yukimori, why would she have made this mistake? She exhausted Yoshiyin and offended Kamao, but Yamanaka couldn't come because of something.

The more Yiyin thought about it, the funnier it became. He couldn't help but laugh out loud even in his dreams. It was so clever that he was mistaken for his cleverness.

Because Date Masamune had fled to Tomi Castle, Yamanaka Yukimori sent a message requesting instructions. Yiyin immediately sent an envoy to the north and asked Yamanaka Yukimori to take Date Masamune south and come to Dahu City for an audience.

The reason for treating Date Masamune favorably is not because Yoshigan likes this ambitious one-eyed man, but because the relations in the Ou area are complicated, and he must be cautious when dealing with Date Masamune.

The Ou area is remote, bitter and cold, vast and sparsely populated. Before the industrialization era, it was impossible to fully develop the Ou area.

The northern permafrost, which lacks fuel, only has some development value in the south.

The Date family is a local leader in southern Ou. After gaining the trust of the Ashikaga shogunate, they have actually succeeded the Shiba clan sent by the shogunate earlier and become the overlord of the Ou area.

This hegemonic position is not only based on force, but also a complex network of marriages between generations.

If Yiyin wants to suppress the Ou region, there are two most labor-saving ways.

First, use the local Shiba relatives to create a balance within the local samurai family, and use Yiyin, an external boss, as the arbiter to mediate the disputes among the local samurai families and restrain the vassals.

Second, give Kanhachishu and Echigo Kuni powerful samurai status, allowing them to encroach on the southern territory of Ou, creating an artificial buffer zone to block the local samurai families in Ou and restrict them from going south.

Previously, Yiyin chose the first option because he was born in the Shiba clan.

Oshu Osaki and Ushu Mogami, these two local wealthy families are essentially the Shiba branch sent by the shogunate to maintain stability in the Ou area.

They took the initiative to ask for help, and Yiyin was willing to support them through a general clan to restrain the ambitious Date Masamune.

But Yoshigan was disappointed in the end. Osaki Mogami and other Shiba relatives simply treated him as a fool. They asked for him when they needed him, but ignored him if he didn't.

During the Shiba-Oda War, the two Osaki Mogami families made it clear that they wanted to be on the sidelines and just sit back and watch the central battle. They had the same idea as the people in the East, and they were all disloyal and unjust people.

Yiyin was very angry, but he couldn't spare the time to teach him a lesson, so he could only let it go first.

Who would have known, evil people will be punished by their own evildoers. Yoshihiro had no time to take care of it, so this became an opportunity for Date Masamune.

Date Masamune took advantage of the opportunity when the Kanto Allied Forces formed by the Kanto Secretariat were marching westward and had no time to look at Ou's direction. He attacked the Osaki family in one fell swoop and occupied the entire Minami Sendai Plain.

Then, Date Masamune went south with all his strength, preparing to swallow up the four Aizu counties that he cherished.

In the Ou area, the most valuable farmland is in the south.

Among them, the Minami Sendai Plain and Aizu Basin in Oshu are the gateways to and from the eight Kanshu areas. On the other side, southern Yushu is home to mountain basins such as Date County and Mogami County, which are also rare fertile farmlands.

Date Masamune killed the Osaki family and frightened the Mogami family so much that they repeatedly called the Kanto Palace for help.

The Kwantung Allied Forces were at war with the Oda family in Hokurikudo, so they had no time to pay attention to them.

On the other hand, Satake Yoshitaka, one of the Easterners, led his troops northward and started a war with Date Masamune in the four Aizu prefectures, thus shattering Date Masamune's wishful thinking.

Both the Oriental People and the Ou Warriors chose to sit back and watch during the battle between Shiba Oda, but in the end they failed to preserve their strength and started fighting on their own.

What made them even more dumbfounded was that the Shiba-Oda family's 200,000-strong war only lasted one time and then hurriedly settled, ruining the wishful thinking of all the bystanders.

Yoshigan and Oda Nobunaga only had a brief exchange of arms, and then they shook hands and made peace, intending to join forces to conquer the world.

It was like the boss and the second boss had been at war with each other for a long time, and finally decided to join forces to fight the third, fourth, fifth and sixth boss, which confused all the famous people who were watching the show in Saikoku, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Ou.

The Kwantung Allied Forces have returned, and the Yiyin has returned to Kantung. The people of the East have been judged as unjust, and they are waiting to be bled with knives and feasted on by the Kwantung Palace.

As for the Ou area, Yoshigan couldn't care about it for the time being, but he was very disappointed with those Shiba relatives, so his thoughts on winning over the relatives and controlling the local area faded away.

Because of this, Yoshigan would not hesitate to promote Tozawa Moriyasu, sleep with her, give her resources, and trick her into continuing her efforts, hoping that this potential stock can help her develop influence in Ou.

Just because Yoshigan can't take care of the Ou area for the time being, it doesn't mean that the Ou samurai family is happy. Seeing that the people of the East are going to be beaten, the Ou samurai family is also panicking.

But Yoshihiro didn't read any of the flattering letters sent from Ou. There was a lot of things in Kinki Kanto waiting for him to sort out, and he really didn't have the time or the heart to care about Ou's wallflowers.

But he never expected that Date Masamune was also a ruthless person and would go to Echigo Kingdom to plead guilty.

Compared to those hesitant Ou warriors, and compared to the Mogami family, a member of the Shiba clan, Date Masamune was indeed ruthless.

It is impossible for her to lead troops and cross over to Torowei City. The only possibility is to disguise herself as a merchant just like Tozawa Mori'an did when she went to Luo.

There are many people who want Date Masamune to die. This girl is not old, but she is very courageous and dares to do something.

You know, even Mogami Yoshimitsu, a relative of the Shiba clan, was still hesitant about whether to go south. He only dared to write a letter asking to see Yoshihiro and wait for news.

However, Date Masamune ran straight over, completely ignoring that he was the first person responsible for starting the war. Yoshigan had every reason to kill her with a knife.

Regarding this bold Date Masamune, Yoshigami was undecided for a moment, so he would wait for her to come over and see what she had to say.

———

While Yoshigan was stranded in Dahu City, waiting for Date Masamune to come to plead guilty, the wind and snow began to subside in Echigo Country at the end of winter, and he was already looking forward to the new spring.

Kasugayama Castle, Residence Hall.

The hall was as warm as spring, and the braziers in the four corners of the room were burning hot. Uesugi Kenshin was holding a small rattle and kept beating it.

In front of her, the almost two-year-old Uesugi Miyuki opened her round eyes and kept trying to touch the rattle, but Uesugi Kenshin dodged it time and time again, making the child angry and shouting that his mother was bad.

Under the throne, Honjo Minoru and Naoe Keizuna, two veterans, looked at Kenshin Uesugi's drama with joy and admiration.

The seeds of a saint are different. This baby girl was born last spring. She is only one and a half years old now. She can already crawl and walk. She also knows that her mother is playing with her and knows how to scold her.

Yiyin's modern male physique comes from the male world, coupled with the super physical fitness of Ji Samurai from the female world, one plus one has an effect greater than two.

His children all showed intelligence, strength, and rapid growth that were different from ordinary people since childhood, which is almost the best proof of the feudal blood theory.

The martial artists recognized Yiyin as a god not only because of his power, but also because the facts were before their eyes and could not be denied.

A great man who is 1.83 meters tall, has an ageless sixteen-year-old face, and has an outstanding son beyond ordinary people’s imagination. How could he not be a god?

In addition, with his vow to always change the weather at critical moments and his invincible deeds, even if Yiyin wants to deny his godhood now, many people may not be willing to agree.

You can despise the character of the Wu family, but you cannot underestimate the IQ of the Wu family! We are not fools, and seeing is believing. You are so awesome, you must have a reasonable explanation!

You say you are not God? Then what are you?

In short, Uesugi Kenshin is now more and more convinced by Kamishi's theory that the piece of heart that fell out of her body in the tenth month of her pregnancy was a real baby.

It's not in vain that Uesugi Kenshin worked hard for ten months and was still weak for half a year after giving birth before giving birth to this truly precious child. It was very different from the pregnancy process of ordinary Hime warriors. It was really a suffering.

When a Hime Samurai is pregnant, she usually feels uncomfortable for three days before and after giving birth. She can usually ride a horse, shoot a bow, and go into battle to kill people. How could Uesugi Kenshin suffer so much?

But after he was born, Uesugi Kenshin realized that he was not unjust.

Miyuki Uesugi was already enlightened at the age of one. She learned to walk at the age of one and a half. She could find the melody when hearing percussion sounds. Now she even started to express her emotions.

The Wu family had never seen such a smart child, who could give birth to such a descendant of the gods. Naturally, Uesugi Kenshin was overjoyed. He loved the baby so much that he looked at it day and night.

Feeling a little tired of playing, Uesugi Kenshin put the child in his arms, gave her the rattle to play with, looked at the two important ministers, and asked.

"You two adults came together to see me in the twelfth lunar month of winter, just to watch me amuse the children?"

The two of them kowtowed to the ground together, congratulating their master on the birth of a daughter and the successor of the Uesugi family.

After finishing his polite words, Naoe Keizuna changed the subject and said.

"I heard that His Highness Date Masamune of Yonezawa arrived at Tomei Castle five days ago in a simple carriage and disguise. Now it is said that he has been taken to Dahu Castle by Mr. Yukisho Yamazaka to apologize to the saint."

Uesugi Kenshin nodded.

"Dahu City, has he already arrived at Dahu City? It would be difficult for him to force his way back through the East China Sea Road."

Uesugi Kenshin didn't care about Date Masamune, but he was worried about the detour of Tokaido by Shiba Yoshigan.

No one is a fool. It's clear that when the spring thaws, you can board a boat from the Hokuriku Expressway and go directly to Echigo Province, but Yoshihiro Saba has to work hard on horseback, braving the cold wind in the middle of winter and walking on the Tokaido Road. What's the point?

Every time Uesugi Kenshin thinks about this, he can't help but feel a little resentful.

She fell in love with Shiba Yoshigan at first sight. As soon as they met in Kyoto seven years ago, she pursued Yoshigan wholeheartedly and shared everything about herself with him.

And what about Yoshihiro Shiba? He remained aloof until finally he took the initiative to send mugwort to his door, in order to maintain the stability of Echigo's duopoly.

Does Uesugi Kenshin hate Shiba Yoshigan? No, in fact, he loves him to death.

The samurai family attaches great importance to their family business, and Shiba Yiyin always puts his family business in his heart. In the eyes of Ji Samurai, it is a matter of course, and there is nothing to blame.

Kenshin Uesugi could abandon the Miao name of the Nagao family in the house and inherit the name of the Yamauchi Uesugi family. In fact, she did not care about the merger of the Shiba-Uesugi family and let her descendants continue to use the Miao name of Shiba.

However, Shiba Yiyin was always unwilling to marry him, and finally decided to embark on the Shinto path, pursuing the higher level of dominance of Shiba theocracy.

Kenshin Uesugi could understand it, but she couldn't help but feel resentful. She had been a dog licker for seven years and been hanged for seven years, but she still couldn't get everything from that man.

Kenshin Uesugi’s selfless dedication has actually been richly rewarded.

Before Yoshigan Shiba came, the Echigo samurai group was suppressed by Uesugi Kenshin with force. Although it was said to be powerful, there were constant civil strife and many hidden dangers.

In order to pursue a man, Uesugi Kenshin gave half of his family property to the Shiba family. It seemed that he was obsessed with it and suffered a big loss. But looking back seven years later, the Uesugi family has made a lot of money!

Under the helm of Yoshihiro Shiba, the Echigo Duopolitics resolved every internal hazard and external enemy, and Uesugi Kenshin became the second person in Kanto under Yoshihiro Shiba.

Speaking of such outstanding figures as Hojo Ujiyasu, Takeda Shingen, etc., they were convinced by Shiba Yoshigan, but they were not convinced by Uesugi Kenshin, a military genius and political slut.

The Uesugi family is able to outperform the Takeda family and the Hojo family in today's Kanto political situation and maintain its second-ranked position, not because Uesugi Kenshin is awesome, but because she has found the right allies.

A licking dog actually gave away half of his family's fortune just to lick a man. In the eyes of the Wu family, he was out of his mind and would take the pill sooner or later.
