Chapter 362 General Battle

Echigo, ūn day mountain city.

The rain was torrential and the clouds were overwhelming.

The raindrops hit the top of the rain cover, making a ticking sound, and the heavy rain caught the gusty wind, rushing under the eaves and passing through the hall.

Feeling the cool breeze hanging on his face, Kenshin Uesugi waved his hand to signal the little surname, instead of closing the house.

Kenshin Uesugi had just finished chanting, and slowly walked into the large room of the castle tower.

Ohiro Ma, the armor he usually wears when he goes out of battle, is neatly placed behind the main seat.

Kenshin Uesugi turned his head, his gaze firmly locked in the corner of the Pizi flag, the làn dragon flag.

Naoe Keizuna seldom saw the look of the lord, even when the Takeda family ranged sideways from the rear when he was on the island of Kawanaka, attacking the main force of the Uesugi army back and forth.

Kenshin Uesugi was also calm and composed, and after calmly arranging the order to retreat, he only led more than a dozen rides to win the Shingen Head Formation.

Kenshin Uesugi gently peeled off the rosary with his fingers, and said slowly: "Mikami Tokugawa's family, sent me news that Shingen Takeda has decided to launch a decisive battle against me in mid-August."

Naoe Keizuna finally understood where Uesugi Kenshin's worries came from.

Kenshin Uesugi paused and said: "Shingen will fight the Hojo clan first this year. After defeating the Hojo clan, he quickly makes peace with him. The purpose of the peace is to fight against me. Now Hojo has made peace, and Imagawa has made peace with me. In order to destroy, Xinxuan no longer has any elbows, but can use his full force against me."

"Five times in the past on Chuanaka Island, I took the initiative to attack by Echigo, and this time it is Shingen's turn to play. Shingen is good at strategizing, making decisions and then moving. There are no such brave generals as Nagano, Kakizaki, and Murakami by my side. This battle is far more dangerous than before. Maybe the Uesugi family is dangerous this time."

When Naoe Keizuna heard Uesugi Kenshin's words so solemnly, he couldn't help but shook his body and took a step back. He said, "Don't you, Lord, you are not sure of this battle, against Shingen."

Kenshin Uesugi remained silent for a long time and said: "Personal power is hard to compare with the general situation. Everything depends on our destiny. As a warrior, we can do our own duty."

Hearing Uesugi Kenshin’s words, Naoe Keizuna said in a straightforward manner: “In any case, Naoe’s life is dedicated to the lord, if Takeda really attacked the ūn Rishan castle one day, the minister will definitely die before the lord."

Kenshin Uesugi shook his head and said with a smile: "Naoe, don't say that, we may not lose. Regardless of the victory or defeat, it is the glory of the warrior to win the battle with a peerless general like Shingen, and I am the proudest in my life. One of the things is that there is such an opponent as Shingen, otherwise life would be so lonely."

Having said that, Uesugi Kenshin held a bamboo stick and pointed to the south.

"If Shingen dares to go out of Kai, I will fight with Shingen from ūn Rishan Castle and fight Shingen on Chuanzhongdao. If Shingen wants to fight decisively, then I will fight with him and win the battle on the field. Today, I am not afraid of no one. , Even Xinxuan is the same."

Naoe Keizuna heard Uesugi Kenshin's so bold words, and his blood surged, saying: "The minister is willing to follow the lord and fight Takeda decisively, and his brains and brains will not hesitate."

"No, Naojiang, you don't have to follow me to Chuanzhong Island."

"Why didn't the lord let me go? Could it be that the minister..."

"Because you have more important things to do," Ken Uesugi said: "If Xinxuan would fight a decisive battle with me, it would be okay for Xinxuan, whom I was worried about, to defend himself and confront my main force on Chuanzhongdao. At that time, I was also mine. Guess, he will inevitably launch, West Ueno, Yuezhong two armies attacked me, Echihou, and attacked the flank of our army. This is what I fear most."

"Nishiueno's Naito Masato, Obata Nobuada, and Sanada are all difficult opponents, but fortunately, Echigo is still far away from me, and I can't penetrate into the hinterland."

"Only Li Xiao from Yuezhong is my confidant"

After hearing this, Keizuna Naoe looked terrified and said, "Lord, there are Shiina Kangyin, Kawada Nagasaki, and Shiina Keinao guarding the middle of Etchu. Isn't that enough?"

Kenshin Uesugi waved his hand and said: "Naoe, don’t peep into Li Xiao. There are very few people in my eyes in the world today. Li Xiao is one of them. My Uesugi’s family was broken in his hands. Is it still less?"

Naoe Keizuna uttered a loud voice and said, "I understand, the lord is me to go to Yuezhong to prevent Li Xiao from attacking Yuezhong, and to harass Yuehou, ūn Rishan Castle's flank."

Kenshin Uesugi nodded, looked at Naoe Keizuna, and said, "Naoe, can you do it?"

Naoe Jinggang knelt down with a solemn expression, and said, "Master, if one person from Li Xiaojun enters the next step, it means that I have been killed in Yuezhong."

After Uesugi Kenshin heard this, Weiwei felt that Naoe Keizuna had some ominous words, and said: "Naoe, the seven-handed general who followed me at the beginning has mostly withered. You can't make any mistakes."

Keizuna Naoe uttered a loud voice and said, "Please rest assured, the lord."

Kenshin Uesugi heard that Naoe Keizuna said so, and he was slightly relieved, and then he looked to the south of ūn Rishan City.

At this moment, dark clouds are rolling in from the south, and the rain is getting worse.
