Whether it was the Lou Lan Reputation Mission or the Blessed Enclave Mission, they could all be postponed. Now that Yang Rui had obtained a Terracotta Soldier Talisman and nine Commanding Tokens, it was the perfect time for him to expand his influence in the Nihon civilization area.
Wako Uesugi had nothing to worry about. Under normal circumstances, he should be able to rise in the end. However, Takeda Nobutaka, the Guardian of Japan, could not change the situation. He could not even make Yang Rui feel at ease.
Previously, it was not convenient for Yang Rui to appear and fight in the Nihon civilization area. After all, the surrounding forces could not tolerate an outsider like Yang Rui, let alone the players in the Nihon civilization area.
Now that he had the opportunity to quietly deepen his influence in the Nihon civilization area, Yang Rui naturally would not let go of such an opportunity.
After arriving at the nearest teleportation array in the county, Yang Rui immediately teleported to Xu Province and spent a whole day meeting with Han Dai, Ding Yao, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Huang Wudie, and the others.
During this time, Yang Rui learned about the latest situation in Xu Province and learned that the situation in Xu Province had basically stabilized. Therefore, Yang Rui left Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, Yu Jin, and a large number of troops in Xu Province to stabilize Xu Province together.
Yang Rui, on the other hand, went to Big Mountain City alone and went to Shrimp Island through the Secret Realm of Mount Tai. Once again, he crossed the strait and used the Shapeshifting Mask to change into the Nihon civilization character image of Conqueror No. 1. He directly used the nearest teleportation array to reach Echigo.
This time, although Yang Rui came to the Nihon civilization area with the intention of expanding his influence, he could only do it secretly and could not expose his identity. Therefore, Yang Rui came alone and did not bring any subordinates with him. He only brought the 160,000 or so Fifth Grade soldiers that he obtained from the Terracotta Soldier dungeon.
As for the nearly 100,000 First Grade soldiers that he obtained in the fifth and tenth stages. Yang Rui left it in the civilization area of the three countries and had already teleported it to the Penglai map. Bocai was responsible for commanding and upgrading it.
After Yang Rui entered the Nihon civilization area, he first chose to go to Echigo. His intention was to meet with Wako Uesugi and communicate with him about his next plans.
At this moment, the protector of the Echigo Country, Uesugi Takenori. He was also Wako Uesugi's biological father in the game's background. He had always been in the Japanese civilization's capital. In fact, at this stage of the game, Echigo's Guardian Dynasty was actually quite powerful.
However, the guardian of Echigo, Uesugi Suisugi, also had quite a bit of influence. The relationship between the two was very subtle. Yang Rui even suspected that Wako Uesugi's identity as Nagatsuki Suisugi was intentional.
As for why the Nagatsuki's Guardian Dynasty would accept Wako Uesugi, and why almost no one knew about this fact, the twists and turns within were not something Yang Rui could understand.
No matter what, Wako Uesugi grew up in Echigo with the identity of Nagatsuki Suisugi. If he could obtain the inheritance of the Nagatsuki's Guardian Dynasty, and also have the backing of Uesugi Suisugi's influence, Wako Uesugi could easily control the entire Echigo Country.
Perhaps this was the basic background of the game's setting. Yang Rui believed that the probability of this being true in history was very low. At the very least, Yang Rui had not seen any similar information and did not know how the game was set.
Wako Uesugi had already returned to Kasugan City and was still living in Rinquan Temple at the foot of Kasugan Mountain. After quelling the rebellion in Kuroda City and the battle with Kuroda Hidetada, Wako Uesugi's reputation in Echigo Country could be said to be growing day by day. The strength of his troops was also far from what the little girl in Rinquan Temple could compare to.
After Wako Uesugi's extraordinary performance in the battle of Kuroda City, there were already many forces in Echigo Country that had a close relationship with Wako Uesugi. These forces tended to be close to and supported Wako Uesugi. It was believed that as Wako Uesugi's strength continued to grow, a large number of forces would eventually submit to him. It would not be difficult for Wako Uesugi to completely control Echigo Country.
Of course. This required a long process and was not something that could be done overnight. One of the main reasons Yang Rui came to meet Wako Uesugi was to discuss specific strategies and shorten this process as much as possible.
However, there were some things that could not be rushed. What Yang Rui could do was to push things from the side. Sometimes, if the progress was too fast, it was likely to have a reverse effect and stimulate some forces to fall into the arms of the opponent.
Wako Uesugi's biggest opponent, and almost the only opponent, was his nominal brother Nagao Harukage!
"So, Lord, this time, you came to try to control Echigo Country in your hands?"
"Well, this is one of the reasons I came, and the other is to help you take control of Echigo Country as soon as possible, but I don't know what you think of it?"
Perhaps Wako Uesugi had already told him, this time when Yang Rui came to Rinquan Temple, after reporting his identity and intentions, he was immediately led in by the gatekeeper and smoothly met with Wako Uesugi.
Yang Rui roughly told Wako Uesugi about his plans in Echigo Country, and Wako Uesugi immediately understood Yang Rui's intentions.
"If Lord can completely subdue Takeda Nobutaka and send him to Kyoto, it can indeed win some benefits for Echigo Country.
If the Lord directly banishes Takeda Nobutaka to the capital and doesn't subdue him, it won't have much of an impact … "
Wako Uesugi did not directly answer Yang Rui's question, and did not mention Echigo Country for the time being. However, the child was obviously very clear about the current power structure of the Japanese civilization. He analyzed the pros and cons of subduing Takeda Nobutaka for Yang Rui.
Yang Rui also agreed with the child's analysis, and there were even some things that Yang Rui did not think of. This also let Yang Rui understand Wako Uesugi's accomplishments as a future Daimyo.
"… Echigo Country is mainly affected by the two major forces of the Rimi clan in the south and the Hōjō clan in the north. The guardian Takeda Nobutaka is already weak, and his situation is not as good as my father's.
In addition, the Masaki clan, Toki clan, Sakai clan, and other forces in Echigo Country are also not weak. Echigo Country's guardian Takeda Nobutaka seems to be unable to coordinate the various forces, and he can't even achieve a balance between each other.
So, if Lord wants to deal with Echigo Country's affairs, you still need to analyze the opportunity. If you can reasonably use the relationship between the various forces in Echigo Country, Lord will also save a lot of effort … "
