Of course, Wako Uesugi had already received the first two system announcements about the victory of the Battle of the Barrel Canyon. However, the child did not know the details. ()? ()? ()? ()? ()?
When Yang Rui explained to the child how he had killed Imagawa Yoshimoto and the other nine historical generals, as well as how he had defeated the Imagawa army, the child was shocked and immediately commanded his army to pass through the Barrel Canyon.
In fact, Yang Rui had already received news from the flying units that the defenders of the Luo camp on the other side of the Barrel Canyon had mostly retreated. Only the elite troops of Tracer Dragon Soul and Zhang He had managed to make it in time for a few small battles.
Even though the number of troops that Zhang He and Long Hun had brought with them was limited, the troops that tried to stop the Luo camp crumbled upon contact. They were terrified. If not for the fact that the defeated troops in front of them had blocked their path, no matter which side it was, they were unwilling to have any conflict with the pursuing troops.
Under such circumstances, when Wako Uesugi led the various daimyo and noble families through the Barrel Canyon and arrived at the camp of the Luo camp, there was not even a shadow of the Luo camp left.
In the area near the Barrel Canyon, there were only traces of broken tents and other messy traces, proving that a large number of people had stayed here.
Through the flying reconnaissance units, Yang Rui accurately and timely grasped the movements of the Luo camp. Thus, when the various forces of the Luo camp were fighting to pass through the Barrel Canyon to reap the benefits, Yang Rui was at ease and stayed behind with Wako Uesugi.
"My lord, the leader of the Luo camp, Imagawa Yoshimoto, was killed by my lord. At the same time, I also received a message. It seems that due to the victory of the Barrel Canyon, the shogunate has acknowledged our strength.
The shogunate's emissary will arrive within a day to convey my decree as the temporary commander-in-chief of the national war. I can also propose and issue three decrees to the shogunate general. After that, I will organize the various forces of the national war and chase my lord and the others out of the Nihon civilization.
Of course, I can also ignore the shogunate general's orders and continue to Luo after receiving the edict within a day. When I reach the capital and take control of the shogunate, the benefits should be greater. However, it will inevitably be difficult … "
Traveling with Yang Rui, Wako Uesugi said something that Yang Rui did not expect.
As soon as the game began, the system notified him that the Shogun was about to reach a compromise with Wako Uesugi!
At first glance, it didn't seem like much, but it made sense when one thought about it carefully. If Wako Uesugi succeeded in ascending the Luo River, the ones who would suffer the most losses would be the shogunate generals. When that happened, the shogunate's prestige and control would take a fatal blow.
Although the Shogunate Generalissimo's decrees were not very effective in the territories of the major clans, the Shogunate was still independent and recognized. Once Wako Uesugi succeeded in going to Luo, the Shogunate Generalissimo would very likely be reduced to a vassal.
This was somewhat similar to how Cao Cao used the Emperor to order his vassals in the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region, although it was not exactly the same.
At this moment, Wako Uesugi mentioned the contents of the system notification to Yang Rui because he couldn't make up his mind. Based on the current situation, if Wako Uesugi succeeded in ascending the Luo River, he might actually succeed!
Yang Rui naturally understood Wako Uesugi's hesitation. However, as soon as the child mentioned this, Yang Rui already had a clear answer in his heart.
In the history of Japan's Warring States Period, there were many daimyos who ascended the Luo River. However, only one or two of them were able to achieve good results. The other daimyos did not fare too well after ascending the Luo River.
The reason why the daimyos ascended the Luo River was because the Shogunate's prestige and power gradually dissipated, which triggered the ambitions of the daimyos everywhere. As a result, a large number of daimyos ascended the Luo River occurred.
In the history of Japan, the daimyos who ascended the Luo River during the Antao era were the Danuchi, Imagawa, Oda, Takeda, Uesugi, Asai, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, etc. The number of successful and unsuccessful attempts added up to more than ten times. It was as if ascending the Luo River was equivalent to conquering the world.
In fact, looking at the fates of the daimyos, one would know that ascending the Luo River was not that fun.
Danuchi Yoshitaka succeeded in ascending the Luo River, but while the Danuchi Clan ascended the Luo River, their neighbor, the Nizi Clan, went on a rampage in China. In the end, Danuchi Yoshitaka returned to his territory with his tail between his legs. The benefits of ascending the Luo River were almost negligible, and his territory was in turmoil.
There was no need to talk about Imagawa Yoshimoto. The tragedy of Keisanja, even in the game, did not escape the fate of Wako Uesugi ascending the Luo River. In the history of Japan, after the Battle of Keisanja, the Imagawa Clan quickly declined.
Takeda Shingen ascending the Luo River was almost always in preparation, but he was also crippled by Oda Nobunaga. After Takeda Shingen died, Takeda Katsuyori was unable to continue his family business. The Red Army that Takeda Shingen had painstakingly raised was completely destroyed. In the end, the Takeda Clan could not escape the decline.
In the history of Japan, Wako Uesugi also had a special fondness for Luo Qing. However, she died too early, and the matter of ascending the Luo River was not realized in time.
Oda Nobunaga succeeded in ascending the Luo River, but after he succeeded, he was surrounded by the other daimyos and powerful clans. If it was not for the coincidence that after a few years of fighting, Oda Nobunaga's strength did not decrease but instead increased, and it would have been difficult to achieve the prosperity of the Oda Clan.
However, the results of Oda Nobunaga's ascending the Luo River did not appear at all. Instead, he became the target of public criticism. The various daimyos continued to attack him. They were not affected by his success at all.
Asai Nagamasa took advantage of the convenience of being close to Luo River and successfully ascended the Luo River once. However, he provoked Oda Nobunaga, who had always been in an alliance state, and was also his brother-in-law. Shortly after he succeeded in ascending the Luo River, he was destroyed by Oda Nobunaga. If he did not succeed in ascending the Luo River, he should be able to maintain the inheritance.
In the history of Japan, the more successful ascending the Luo River and the final profit were Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi relied on his success in ascending the Luo River, and it could be said that he was in the limelight for more than 10 years. Tokugawa Ieyasu directly established the Tokugawa shogunate, changed the surname of the shogunate, and started the Edo shogunate era.
However, the background of the two in ascending the Luo River had undergone a lot of changes. The forces had experienced a lot of wars, and the merger and reorganization were almost done. The two of them were just cleaning up the mess.
If the two of them ascended the Luo River in the early Warring States period of Japan, they might also become the target of public criticism because of ascending the Luo River, and thus fall into a difficult situation.
The most important thing was that Yang Rui chose to let Wako Uesugi ascend the Luo River because he was completely forced to do so. Now that the situation had changed, Yang Rui's view was very clear.
"My lord, you mean … you want to give up halfway?!"
However, when Yang Rui expressed his opinion, Wako Uesugi's handsome face still showed unwillingness. After all, ascending the Luo River was the ambition of the daimyos in the Nihon civilization area!
