Chapter 519 18. If the East Is Dark, the West Will Be Bright.

Early in the morning, Xiao Pingtai asked Chen San to wake up Yamauchi Yoshiyasu. Without saying anything, he wiped his face and set off. He was not allowed to have a hot breakfast, but two cold rice balls.

What to eat is a small matter, but Yamauchi Yoshiyasu, who was looking forward to seeing Ibuki for breakfast, didn't know whether it was because he got up early or because he was wronged, his eyes were full of tears.

He looked back every few steps, and kept looking into the yard, hoping that Ibuki would come out to see him off.

When they walked out of the village, Ibuki's maid ran out and gave Yamauchi Yoshiyasu an embroidered handkerchief. Yamauchi Yoshiyasu was so happy that he couldn't ride his horse steadily, and he almost fell off on the spot and went back to the yard to find his Ibuki princess.

"Tanzheng Danzheng, may I ask if your uncle has ever been engaged to anyone?"

The young man was too naive after all. He folded the handkerchief first, then wrapped it with several pieces of tissue paper and stuffed it into his arms.

"As far as I know, Ibuki wants to marry a heroic man, but she hasn't met one she likes yet. We won't force her to marry anyone, so there's no engagement."

Looking at Yamauchi Yoshiyasu with a smile, Kobayata looked like he still had a chance.

"A heroic samurai?" Yamauchi Yoshiyasu had automatically put himself in the picture, and replaced the man with a samurai.

"A famous samurai who has made great achievements on the battlefield, is good at both civil and military affairs, and is good at fighting!" Kobayata continued to hint to the young man, follow me, follow me to make great achievements.

"I will definitely gain military fame and come back to see her!"

"Hahahahaha~~~"

If he can't fool an old scoundrel like Takeda Harunobu, how can the great Fujiwara Danjo fool a 14-year-old young man like you? When Kobayata debuted, Yamauchi Yoshiyasu was still playing in the mud.

It's just a chance encounter, and then pretending that Ibuki gave him a handkerchief. Ibuki himself didn't know that the handkerchief was embroidered by an old lady that Kobayata bought for thirty coins on the street. Maybe it still has the fragrance of the old lady.

Ibuki couldn't bribe him, but the little maid couldn't bribe him? Don't act, just give her a handkerchief, don't say any nonsense, the more you say, the more mistakes you make. Yamauchi Yoshiyasu will make up his mind, no doubt about it.

After running around the countryside with Kobayata for a few more days, Yamauchi Yoshiyasu returned to the mansion and was full of energy. He went to the city every day. In the morning, he worked in the office to copy documents, and in the afternoon, he practiced horse riding and archery at home.

It's great to be young!

Kobayata went home to take care of the yellow cattle. At first, Nagano Yoshimasa and Uesugi Terutora were too enthusiastic and gave Kobayata five cows. Later, Hosokawa Nainori got a cow from somewhere, saying that it was for Kobayata to drink milk in rotation. Suzy Ni seemed to have heard that Kobayata drank milk every morning and evening, so she gave two cows in the name of Yamauchi Taro.

But there is a problem, that is, eight yellow cows, just keeping them there to drink milk, it is too wasteful. Moreover, it is very realistic that only four of them are still able to produce milk, and the others are either not pregnant or the calves are not enough to eat.

Only 500 to 600 kilograms of milk a year, 600 to 700 kilograms of milk, yellow cows do produce relatively little milk. Fortunately, as long as they eat grass and roughage, the feed requirements are very low, and they are kept in a place with clean water sources, there is no problem at all.

The cowshed is also easy to solve, isn’t it just a cowshed, ventilated and breathable to avoid moisture.

"It’s just that six or seven kilograms of milk are delivered every morning, and I’m afraid we can’t drink it all." A Ling took honey with a small spoon, mixed it with hot milk and handed it to Xiao Pingtai.

"Give it to Guo Zhizhu and Yu Gui every day. They are still growing, and drinking more milk can make them taller." Xiao Pingtai took it and drank it all.

"Can drinking milk make you taller?"

"Of course."

"Is it too late for you to drink it now?"

"A Ling you... "

This wife is getting more and more naughty!

Before Kobayata's Lushan claws could be stretched out, the gate was suddenly knocked, and Chen San directly interrupted all of Kobayata's fantasies.

"Tanzheng, Murakami Samayune is here to visit."

What urgent matter is there again? As for coming to Kobayata when it's dark.

There was no other way, Kobayata could only put on his clothes and come out to meet Murakami Yoshimitsu with a face full of resentment.

Murakami Yoshimitsu, standing in the earth room, had a happy face and was very excited.

"Tanzheng, excuse me, there is indeed good news now."

"Let me see." After taking the letter handed by Murakami Yoshimitsu, Murakami Yoshimitsu did not sit down, but began to narrate.

Uesugi Terutora, who lost 2,000 people in Kanto, returned to his country to recuperate for half a month. Faced with the floating people's hearts and the current situation that he did not get a lot of income from the battle in Kanto. Finally, he decided to pick up a soft persimmon and get back the place.

Then he led more than 7,000 people out of Kasuga Mountain to attack Yue China with the intention of being disloyal. After crossing the natural barrier of Okinabishiko and entering Echichu for two days, they conquered Wakuri and Miyazaki in one go.

The chief of Uozu Castle, Masahiro Yamaguchi, was considered an important official of the Shiina clan, but seeing that Uesugi Terutora was powerful, he surrendered without saying a word, thinking that if you come to surrender, I will rebel.

Shiina Yasutane was full of questions. After only three days, he was blocked in Matsukura Castle. Shiina Yasutane had never thought that Uesugi Terutora, who had always focused on the conquest of Kanto, would suddenly come and he could only defend the city.

But Uesugi Terutora was just playing with him. After a drumbeat, the most important branch castle outside Matsukura Castle, Kinzan Castle, was conquered by Kawada Nagachika, who was holding his breath.

Shiina Yasutane, who had originally planned to hold on and wait for Uesugi Terutora to run out of food and retreat, panicked. While he was hesitating whether to surrender or hold on, another branch castle, Shinjo Castle, fell under the fierce attack of Ajisaka Nagami.

There was no room for argument now. Shiina Yasutane immediately escaped, abandoned the city and went to rely on Kamiyasuji.

Matsukura defeated the enemy and caused great turmoil in East Echi. Uesugi Terutora sent his clan member Shiina Kagenao to succeed the Shiina clan and exiled Itaya Masahiro directly, leaving Kawada Nagachika as the lord of Uozu Castle. Half of Shinkawa County fell into the hands of Uesugi Terutora.

Doi Masafusa, who held Yumiso, Horie, Inamura and other castles, immediately surrendered the castles. The Kamiya army in Tsuge and Ikeda castles all abandoned the castles and retreated to Toyama, gathering troops to defend the castles, trying to stop the Uesugi army on the east bank of the Kurobe River.

Uesugi Terutora did not say a word and immediately dug up the dam of the Kurobe River. Toyama collapsed, and more than 2,000 innocent people died. Kamiya Yoshiharu, Kamiya Ujinobu, Shiina Yasutane and others only escaped and fled to Moriyama Castle.

Kamiya Kakuhiro of Masuyama Castle surrendered directly to Uesugi Terutora, and Akisada, the chief of Shioya Chikuzen in Hida Province, sent troops to rescue Kamiya. Uesugi Terutora led a small army to fight against Tsume Castle. Shioya Akisada was defeated and fled to Hida. He was chased by the Uesugi army in Nishi-Iwatani and was defeated and fled. Countless people died. ("Etōga Sanshu Shikan-yu Kao")

Ema Terumori of Hida Province immediately came to congratulate Uesugi Terutora on his military achievements and became a foreign vassal of Uesugi Terutora. Half of Hida surrendered without a fight, and the Uesugi army marched straight in.

In the entire Echizen, only the Moriyama Castle of the Jinbo clan and the Mokufune Castle of the Ishiguro clan were still resisting. In addition, the Ikko clan Zuisenji and Anyangji had not yet expressed their submission.

Uesugi Terutora took a vast territory of 100,000 kan in less than a month.
