As the saying goes, it's not too late to make up for the situation.

Hachijo Kagesada did not expect that his whim to review the riding skills of the Zuokong Crane Army's horse warriors would solve the problem of excessive consumption of war horses at home, and even prevent all the horse warriors in the family from going to war in order to reduce the loss of war horses. Once on the battlefield, dismount and fight on foot.

However, for this horse equipment, Kagesada gave priority to the horseback warriors of the Crane Control Army on the left and right to equip it first, and also issued a strict order to Ohno Ozen Ryo not to allow this equipment to be shipped out. This was the secret of the Hachijo family.

Of course, in exchange, Ohno Ozen Ryo would serve as the royal caster of the Hachijo family and get 500 koku from hidden rice.

Before Jingding could be happy for a long time, Ota Shizheng brought a samurai of similar age to Jingding to Odawara Castle and asked to board the city.

Since there was no prior notification, Jing Ding still summoned the two of them to the large room after handling some government affairs.

"I asked Ota Mino to wait for a long time. Why didn't you inform me before coming to Xiangzhou?" As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Ding was seen wearing a straight brown cloth with a red brocade border and a black hat on his head, slowly surrounded by several people. Slowly walked into the large room.

"Due to the sudden incident, I can only do this. I hope you will forgive me for your sins." After speaking, Ota Shizheng bowed down.

"What's so important about Mino Ota that you need to go to the city in person?" Jing Ding said as he looked at a samurai behind Ota Shizheng.

"I beg you, Lord Hachijo, to restore the Ogitani family's name." At this time, Ota Shimasa stated the purpose of his visit to the city.

"But I am currently the governor of Wuzhou, Xiangzhou and other states. Does Ota Mino Shou want my family to resign as the governor of these two states?" Jing Ding's expression changed immediately after hearing Ota Zizheng's request.

"No, no." Ota Shimasa quickly defended himself after realizing that Kage Sada was a little dissatisfied with this, "Now the general leader of the sect, Mr. Terutora, is in the Echigo Prefecture. It is said that he is still preparing for the war in California, so my Majesty All I can do is come to Xiangzhou first and ask the Lord Hachijo who holds the positions of governor of Kanto and family governor to come forward on my behalf and advise Duke Huihu to restore the name of the Ogitani family. I have no other intention."

"The Ogitani family became extinct after the Battle of Kawagoe. Is it possible that Mino Ota wants the third or fourth son of the family to inherit the Ogitani family name?" After all, Kageding has two sons who have been adopted and inherited the family name. Ming's natural priority is his own son.

"Hatto, Lord, I have learned that I have found the only remaining bloodline of the Ogitani family, Shichiroden." After speaking, Ota Shizheng sat aside and motioned to the samurai behind him to sit forward.

"See Hachitō, I am the son of the late Uesugi repairman Tohira, and the younger brother of the late Uesugi repairman Tosada, Uesugi Shichiro. To avoid being pursued by the Yinshi family, he changed his Miao name to Nanazawa and fled to Oshu. "Nanazawa Shichiro came up and introduced himself first.

"It has been three years since I followed Duke Teruhu to the south and invaded the eight states of Bando. How did you come up with the idea of ​​restoring the name of the Ogitani family at this time? Where were you when I followed Duke Huihu to attack the Yinshi family through life and death? " Jing Ding became so angry when he thought about it. It seems that this person is probably eyeing the territory under his rule.

You didn't participate in a big and evil battle, so you have the nerve to ask for the restoration of your family name?

During the siege of Odawara Castle, even Harutsuna Hachijo, the former Hachijo family's predecessor, was killed. Where was the Iwasuke-Ota family at that time? When they entered Sagami, it was a mess. When the main Uesugi army led by Uesugi Teruator arrived, I started to only work and not contribute any effort.

"Hachijo Reilord, my long-cherished wish is to restore the name of the Ogitani family. The Iwatsuke-Ota family and the Edo-Ota family are both lineage retainers of the Ogitani family. I hope Hachijo Reilord will see us and the Wushu samurai as Hui Hu."

Since I'm going to serve as the vanguard, I'd better think about it again." Ota Shimasa was reluctant and still wanted to take the opportunity to restore the name of the Uesugi family in Ogidani.

"How about this? How about we change the character for Miao back to Uesugi? The ancestor of the Ogidani family, Uesugi Yin Yumomoori, was originally the adopted son of Uesugi Shuotai (another name for Tanshodai), the governor of the Futahashi Uesugi family. Our family is a descendant of the Futabashi Uesugi family, Hachijo Uesugi.

Isn't it more suitable for the family governor to inherit the Ogitani family name in terms of family character?" Jingding did not intend to let Ohta Shimasa and Nanazawa Shichiro take advantage of him in vain.

"This..." In an instant, Ota Shizheng was so shocked by Jingding's rebuttal that he was speechless.

"Well, this family won't embarrass Ota Mino Mamoru anymore. You can set aside some territory as Nanasawa Shichiro's territory from your direct territory. I will explain it to Mr. Teruhu for you and allow Nanazawa Shichiro to change back to Uesugi.

Miao character." Jingding didn't want Ota Shimasa to continue to embarrass him like this. After all, the territory of the Iwasuke Ohta family was in the heart of the Hachijo Territory, so he could take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the Iwasuke Ohta family.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Lord Hachijo." Ota Shimasa saw that he couldn't apply for some territory for Nanazawa Shichiro and had no choice but to give up.

"With Sanbei, see off the guests." Jingding was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ota Shizheng. He had already given Ota a good reputation without reducing the seal of Iwafu Ota family.

It stands to reason that after the Iwatuke-Ota family surrendered, the Hojo family participated in Hojo's invasion of the Oda family, the Sano family and other daimyo. Therefore, Kagesada's attitude towards the Iwasuke-Ota family was always to be on guard.

At the same time, Takeda Harunobu, who is in Kofu, is not ready to sit still and wait for death. He knows very well that there will be a war between the Takeda family and the Uesugi family, and it will be a life-and-death kind of battle.

"Master Otate, according to the investigation of the Toruha ninjas, the Hachijo family is still trying to recruit a family member of the head of the family and a generation of retainers to rebel." After Yamamoto Kansuke limped into the large room, he looked at the frowning man.

Reporting by Harunobu Takeda.

"Kansuke, have you found out who the Hachijo family has transferred?" Takeda Harunobu is most worried about which important minister has been transferred.

"I don't know the specific details at the moment. This time the Hachijo family did it more secretly than last time. It's because of my incompetence." Kansuke Yamamoto said helplessly.

"That's all, it's not Kansuke's fault." Takeda Harunobu now even feels that many people in his family are suspicious.

"It is reported that the Hachijo family has sent the Toki Mino defender to Echichu. It seems that the next step is most likely to take the opportunity to invade Noshu or harass the Nishi Shinshu counties." Yamamoto Kansuke began to worry about this.

No anti-theft

"The Uesugi family will probably not attack Noshu. Feishu is only a nominal subordinate. Nagao Kagetora will not take the risk of being cut off by the family's back and food routes to attack Noshu." Takeda Harunobu couldn't help but sneered and said.

.He is unwilling to admit the fact that Teruhu has inherited the Uesugi family in Yamauchi, just like Teruo holds the great names of Ou and Yu, the Eight Kingdoms of Kanto, and the national lords do not admit that he is the protector of Shinano.

"If the Uesugi family launches an attack on the master from four directions: north, west, east, and south, it will be difficult to resist based on the current strength of the master." Yamamoto Kansuke was at his wits' end at this moment. What he never expected was that the Uesugi family could actually do so.

In just a few years, it has become the most powerful daimyo in the Eastern Kingdom.

"To the south, we can only send envoys to the Imagawa family and ask the Imagawa Rites Minister to lay out suspicious troops; to the west, with the Kiso family, the Feizhou generals cannot easily invade the hinterland of Shinshu. The key to the subsequent battle lies in the north and east.
