Create a fantasy paradise starting from Conan

"I thought you were going to throw a punch."

“What a pity… (multiply by 2)”

The two Uesugi Kenshin sighed at the same time.

Because of their distrust of Takeda Shingen, and the fact that the other party was obviously using a strategy, both of them thought that one would use fists and the other would use cloth.

This way, as long as Shingen uses scissors or fists, someone will always win.

If Shingen plays the cloth, it will only result in one person losing and one person drawing.

But unexpectedly, both sides played cloth.

"Ha ha……"

Takeda Shingen put his hands on his hips and smiled triumphantly.

"Such a simple strategy, and you didn't even crack it? You two are such fools! I won, hehe... so accept the loss! For the rest of the war, you must obey my command."

"If your command is flawed, I won't listen to you," said the white-haired Kenshin without hesitation. "The chance of error is zero!"

"Then just wait and see."

Takeda Shingen was smiling and in an extremely good mood.

The coalition forces of two Uesugi, two Hojo, two Takeda and one Imagawa, when you think about it carefully, this is the first time that I have fought such a rich battle.

"Soun, I'm calling you this. What's the current situation of the Ouyang coalition? Should we take the initiative to attack?"

"Zhao Yun has been busy these days and doesn't know much about this, so let me explain it."

Nanjo Ran took the initiative to take over the topic and quickly explained the situation of the Austrian and Japanese combined forces:

"Due to the urgent urging of the Monster King, One-Eyed Masamune, all humans in the Ou region have been relocated to areas outside the barrier."

"Although we took away everything we could, it was still a large-scale migration, with many children and elderly people with limited mobility, so it was a real test of our organizational capabilities."

"The Oshu daimyo, including the Nanbu, Date, Mogami, and Andō clans, are all quite powerful, and none of them are willing to submit to the other. Even now, they haven't chosen a general commander, and they still hold collective meetings to discuss matters."

"However, since we've lost our land, the stored food and fodder will eventually run out, and the remaining land won't be enough to feed so many people."

"So, according to my expectations, they should launch a tentative attack on us in one or two weeks."

"How slow! Don't they understand the principle of speed in war?" Takeda Shingen's eyes suddenly grew sharp. "If it were me, I would have arranged for my subordinates to spread the word on the first day, mobilizing men, women, young and old, and everyone who can hold a weapon."

"If possible, we'll regroup within two or three days, then immediately launch an all-out offensive."

"Since they won't attack us, let's attack them."

"Under what pretext?" the dark-haired Kenshin asked subconsciously. "An unjust war will inevitably lose the support of the people, and will be disadvantageous to the war."

"I knew you would say that, huh... It's very simple. Just write a letter and ask them to submit. Tell them that you can give them territory as long as they swear allegiance."

"If we do this, will they attack us?"

"No matter what, they wouldn't be so stupid. This is just the first step. Meanwhile, send someone to infiltrate..."

I wanted to suggest burning the stored food and grass, but I felt that they would definitely not agree, and might even get angry. Takeda Shingen thought about it and calmly changed his words:

"Publicize to the general public that we are accepting unlimited civilians and that as long as they are registered, they will be given land."

"But the daimyo is unwilling to lose his wealth, nor is he willing to pledge allegiance to us to prevent them from coming."

"So, everyone is welcome to sneak across the border..."

"In short, they are trying every possible way to sow discord and stir up conflict between the common people and the nobles."

"In this way, the Oshu Daimyo, feeling the pressure, will definitely take action."

"As expected of you, you are as despicable as ever." White-haired Kenshin curled his lips.

"Hehe... just consider it as a compliment."

Takeda Shingen smiled nonchalantly and continued:

"Let's quickly organize our army. Considering we'll need to distribute land later and provide a lot of food and fodder to help the civilians, we only need 10,000 men, which will also save some food and fodder."

"Is ten thousand people enough?" Hojo Ujiyasu realized that he was talking nonsense as soon as he asked.

The Oda family's strangers, Takeda Shingen, the two Uesugi Kenshin, himself and his grandfather, so many top generals, and ten thousand elite soldiers, against those country bumpkins from Oshu, isn't this a sure victory?

"Sorry, forget it."

"Leave it to me to write the letter that will make them surrender! This is what I'm best at."

Chapter 61 It’s fake, it must be fake

In the southwest of Yonezawa, after receiving the news that the Hojo family's official ninja, the Fumashu, had sent people to visit, Date Terumune immediately invited the Daimyo of Oshu into his home.

Because he knew nothing about fighting and had no military prestige, Date Terumune specially called his wife Mogami Yoshihime.

"I heard that the Hojo clan sent ninjas to deliver a letter? What did they say?"

"You must be scared and decided to negotiate with us, right?"

"That's hard to say. Although I heard that Hojo Ujiyasu was a coward who would hide in Odawara Castle when things got bad, her grandfather, Hojo Soun, was not that kind of person."

"Hojo Soun? Humph! He's just someone with the same name. What's there to be afraid of?"

Listening to the discussions of many daimyos, Date Terumune felt a headache.

The two worlds merged, and after the Tenbun Rebellion, the Ida family's territory, which had already shrunk by more than half, was now reduced to a tiny amount.

A large number of people from Northern Austria who had lost their territory gathered here, and maintaining public order alone was already a headache for him.

If it were not for his wife Yoshihime's outstanding ability and bravery, the little territory left by the Date family might have been divided up by the warriors who had lost their territory.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I haven't opened the letter from the Hojo family yet..."

Finding that no one paid any attention to him and the quarrel in the meeting hall was still going on, Date Terumune sighed helplessly and turned to look at his wife Yoshihime.

"Ayi, you go ahead and tell me."

"rest assured."

Yoshiki Mogami nodded slightly, then slammed the table hard, leaving a handprint on the table in an instant.

"Quiet! Master Brother, we haven't read the letter yet. Please read it. This way, everyone will be convinced."

"No problem, I'd love to!"

Yoshimitsu Mogami excitedly took the letter from Yoshihime, sniffed the fragrance of his sister's fingertips left on the paper (he thought he had it), and looked intoxicated.

After opening it, he took just one look and his face instantly darkened, with a strong murderous intent emanating from him.

"Bastard Hojo! That's really going too far."

"What's going on? Why don't you read it?" Nanbu Harumasa, who was full of anxiety, couldn't help but ask.

"Okay. Now, here are the exact words from the letter, without any changes."

Mogami Yoshimitsu suppressed his anger and read aloud in a deep voice:

"Country bumpkins of the Ou region, homeless refugees, I am Hojo Ujiyasu, patriarch of the Tojo family in Kanto."

"Here, let me inform you of a few things."

"First, immediately swear allegiance to our Hojo family and hand over all your samurai. We will reward you with some land so that you won't starve to death after losing your homes."

"Second, hand over 90% of your people. You can't afford to support them anyway. Rather than letting them starve to death, it's better to hand them over to us."

"Third, hand over all your weapons and armor. In return, we'll give you farm tools. One for one. Fair, right?"

"Fourth, anyone who enters Hojo territory without swearing allegiance to us or laying down their weapons will be killed without mercy."

"If you can't do the above four things, then prepare to starve to death."

"You're a bunch of country bumpkins from a remote area. Show me your worth and surrender quickly to avoid..."

boom!

Nanbu Harumasa slammed his fist on the table, his eyes filled with anger:

"That's enough! There's no need to form any more coalition forces. Let's split up and advance together."

"The two Hojo clans combined have a total of 16 countries in Kanto, which is more than enough for us to divide."

"Next, let's each act on our own. Whoever conquers the territory will own it."

"If there is any dispute, we can discuss it later."

Unlike the fragmented Southern Oshu region, the Southern Oshu family is the overlord of the Northern Oshu.

As Nanbu Harumasa spoke, the daimyos of the northern O region echoed him one after another.

In this regard, Date Terumune could only sigh inwardly and pray silently, hoping that everything would go well.

……

"I never thought that man would let Yiji take charge of the troops."

Yoshimitsu Mogami deliberately slowed down his horse's pace and rode behind his sister Yoshihime Mogami. Looking at her perfect figure as always, ripples arose in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a little guilty towards Terumune Date.

"That man is truly too merciful. He actually overruled the Date family's objections and allowed Yoshihime to lead the army..."

Many years ago, his favorite sister Yiji was deceived by a Nanman merchant and became pregnant before marriage.

The entire Mogami family was furious. The father, Mogami Yoshimori, regarded this as a shame for the family and sent troops to hunt down the two men like crazy.

Before that, Yoshihime was clearly the best samurai in Oshu, with the title of Onibuhime, who was both wise and brave. Her talents were far superior to his, and he was one of the people with the greatest hope of conquering the world.

At that time, although Yoshimitsu Mogami risked his life to protect his sister's safety, he had to give up the idea of ​​letting her inherit the Mogami family.

After that, the Nanban merchants were expelled and the pregnant Yoshihime was married to Date Terumune.

I have to say that Huizong is really a rare good man.

Not only did he not care about Yoshihime's past, he also ignored the opposition and appointed her daughter, Brahmaru, born to a Nanman merchant, as the heir, completely ignoring the dissatisfaction of his retainers.

In this regard, Mogami Yoshimitsu was always filled with anger towards the Nanban merchants, guilt towards Date Terumune, and longing for his sister Yoshihime.

And, the malice towards her daughter Brahmaru.

Today, because of another monster king Brahmaru who came from another world, Dewa Province, which was guarded by the Mogami family for generations, has become a land of monsters and their homes have been lost.

As a result of his hatred for the two Brahma Pills, his heart was also entangled with theirs, and he was filled with rage.

"Stop! Brother, you should have discovered the ambush ahead, right?"

Suddenly hearing his sister's voice, Yoshimitsu Mogami came to his senses in an instant and immediately looked around.

The Oshu coalition army had as many as 20 people. Although most of them were farmers, soldiers, the elderly, the weak and the disabled, a group of people who were forced to leave their homes and survive, even if they were just children, could burst out with unimaginable strength.

The Ashina and Soma families, who bordered the Date family, accepted the proposal to hand over 9% of their territories and join the coalition without much hesitation.

After leaving the Soma family's territory, the coalition forces quickly split into two groups.

The coalition forces of Northern Oshu, led by Harumasa Nanbu, headed north and invaded Shimotsuke Province.

The coalition forces in Southern Oshu did not have a specific commander and were mainly divided into two waves, the pro-Ida family troops and the main force of the Ida family, led by Date Terumune's wife Mogami Yoshihime.

Those who were deeply dissatisfied with the fact that Yoshihime Mogami was pregnant before marriage and that her eldest daughter, Bramtenmaru, was the next heir to the Date family joined the Mogami side, led by Yoshimitsu Mogami.

Mogami Yoshimitsu was not surprised by this.

After all, before the Tenbun Rebellion, the previous head of the Date family, Date Uemon, served as the Tandai of Oshu, controlling the situation in southern Oshu through marriage, and was also considered the overlord of southern Oshu.

Even though the Ida family's power declined after the Tenbun Rebellion, although Tiger was dead, his influence still remained.

After careful observation, Yoshimitsu Mogami quickly discovered traces of an ambush.

"It seems that Satake Yoshishige doesn't intend to hand over 90% of his territory."

Mogami Yoshihime didn't respond. She looked around, determined the direction, and shouted:

"Satoshige Satake! We've discovered your ambush, come out!"

The next moment, many flags were raised on both sides of the forest.

Soon, a fully armed middle-aged man came out on horseback.

"Mogami Yoshimitsu, and Mogami Yoshihime, your end has come. I urge you to lay down your weapons and surrender. This way you can still retain a shred of dignity."

"Sato Yoshishige, known as the Hitachi Demon, Bando Taro, I want to see how powerful you are!"
