Beside him, Hojo Yasunari asked.

"What should Her Majesty Imagawa say? She is very much looking forward to returning to Suruga Country."

The Imagawa family governor is the political ace of the Hojo family to enter the Suruga Kingdom. It would be troublesome if she felt angry and dissatisfied because the Hojo family gave up halfway.

Hojo Genan thought for a while and said.

"Your Highness, let me have a good talk with Your Highness Imagawa. I believe she will understand."

Hojo Umasa nodded.

"Then I'll bother my aunt."

Hojo Umasa also feels helpless, angry about the unfavorable future of the one he loves, so what?

She herself is tied up now, and is far less powerful than her predecessor Hojo Ujiyasu, who held great power and kept his word.

The governor of the Hojo family has a name but no power, so what can he do about it?

———

Shiba Yiyin Sanxin's feat of pacifying Kanto made the martial arts all over the world more in awe.

Uesugi Kenshin wanted to fight, but the Uesugi retainers were afraid of the collapse of Echigo's duopoly, so they all started to shrink their hands and did half-hearted things.

How painful it was for Shiba Yoshigan to help Uesugi Kenshin integrate the Echigo Kingdom, and how great the resistance is for the Uesugi retainers to break with the Shiba family today.

You must know that Yoshigan Shiba did not conquer the greedy Echigo samurai group by relying on benevolence and morality, but by relying on a large number of interest bundles.

How could the Echigo samurai group, which had reaped the benefits, accept the quarrel between the two masters, Shiba and Uesugi?

The fear that the Echigo Kingdom would fall back into turmoil and that everyone would have a difficult life made the Uesugi retainers stand firmly to bridge the differences and actively acted as the ballast stone for Echigo's dual politics.

In particular, the birth of Uesugi Miyuki gave the Echigo duopoly the possibility of long-term stability. The Uesugi retainers were happy to accept this new young master and bless everyone to continue to eat and drink well.

On the other side, Sanada Nobushige really wanted to fight, but without the authorization of the Kanto Palace, her personal opinions could not be supported by the Nishi Ueno samurai group.

The reason why the Nishi Ueno Samurai Group was willing to take orders from Sanada Nobushige was simply because the mountain people were poor and afraid.

With the help of the souvenir economy created by Miyoshi Seikai, Sanada Nobushige controlled a broad road to prosperity.

Sanada Nobushige has meat in his hands, and these hungry wild dogs in the West Ueno Mountains are of course willing to recognize Sanada Nobushige as their new leader.

But if Sanada Nobushige and the Kanto Chefoo had a falling out, and Nishijono's souvenirs couldn't be shipped out, everyone's good days would come to an end.

Therefore, Sanada Nobushige could only listen to Shima Katsuo's advice and take the initiative to stop the war to avoid falling into internal and external difficulties.

And Hojo Ushimasa got a cheap favor through Yoshigan Shiba's letter, which he planned to use on the integration of the Hojo family into the Kanto Palace.

After the death of Hojo Ujiyasu, the Sagami lioness, the Hojo retainers obviously lacked motivation to continue to expand, and the idea of ​​​​living down the Japanese people prevailed.

The politics of the Hojo clan is not that of the Hojo clan, and her own position as governor of the family is not secure, let alone disobeying the will of the Hojo retainers. She can only go along with the flow.

The three-party siege in Kanto came to an abrupt end, Takeda Shingen's worries were lifted, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was about to make a move, was forced to stop.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was not willing to fight against the Takeda family alone. The Tokugawa retainers group had not yet recovered from the pain of Mikatahara's defeat.

If the Takeda family was besieged by the Kanto vassals, Tokugawa Ieyasu would be happy to add insult to injury. But if it was just a one-on-one fight between the Tokugawa family, then forget it.

After seven years of struggle, Shiba Yiyin has become a true leader. Although the strength of the Shiba family is not the best in the world, his personal influence is unparalleled in the world.

He just sent three letters to prevent Takeda Shingen from being destroyed, which made the entire Takeda family excited.

The Takeda retainers group seemed to have forgotten how they were worried that Takeda Shingen's forcible extortion and exposure would lead to terrible revenge.

Because of Takeda Rena's unexpected favor, Takeda Shingen seems to have paved a new path for the Takeda family, an unexpected path.

Takeda Shingen suddenly discovered that the defeat and loss of control he feared did not happen, and the Takeda retainers group became more obedient and submissive than before.

Just as the old fox Hojo Genan thought, the appearance of Takeda Rena opened a new door.

Except for Oda Nobunaga, who was also preparing to conquer Shiba Yoshigan by force, since the other samurai lords couldn't defeat him, they naturally started to think about other things.

Even if she is as arrogant as Oda Nobunaga, if she cannot defeat him, will she really hit the wall without turning back? You know, Oda Nobunaga himself is an extremely realistic utilitarian.
