"And in Chiyo's opinion, Lord, you don't have to spend your energy on Shangju.
At this time, although Takeda Nobutaka was supported by Lord and successfully passed the difficult period, according to what Chiyo heard, Takeda Nobutaka should not have great ambitions and is not a successful person.
And Lord, you don't have to focus on Shangju. Shangju's position is very awkward. In the North, there is the Hōjō Clan, and in the South, there is almost no force in Shangju that can compete with these two forces.
Therefore, if you start from Shangju, you have to face threats from both the North and the South. Chiyo doesn't think it is Lord's best choice. It is enough to temporarily coordinate the various forces in Shangju. "
Wako Uesugi continued. From her words, it could be seen that the child not only had a high level of strategic literacy, but also had a good vision. Obviously, she had a good understanding of the various forces around Echigo.
From the characteristics of Wako Uesugi's attributes, the child was still in the growth stage. Even so, her performance was very good. She deserved to be praised as the Dragon of Echigo and even the existence of the Nihon War God.
"Oh? In Chiyo's opinion, where should I focus on now? "
Wako Uesugi's words aroused Yang Rui's interest. In fact, there were many aspects that Yang Rui did not think of. It could be said that it provided Yang Rui with a new way of thinking.
Even unconsciously, Yang Rui changed the way he called her. He could no longer treat her as a child.
However, Yang Rui did not understand that a pet name like Chiyo was not an ordinary pet name. It was just that Yang Rui and the child did not care about this at this time, and it seemed that the child was the one who called herself that first.
"Chiyo thinks that Lord, you have two choices. You can start from the Hōjō Clan in the North, or the Rijian Clan in the South."
Wako Uesugi replied. It seemed that she already had a mature idea.
"Chiyo's meaning is to start from the lower country or the Anfang country?"
Yang Rui basically confirmed Wako Uesugi's idea. It could be said that the child's heart was indeed big enough, but this idea might not work.
As a player, Yang Rui understood this better than anyone else. Both the Hojo clan and the Rimi clan were famous warring states of the Nihon civilization. Firstly, under the game's setting, such an identity was very difficult to be subdued or used for oneself.
Just like how it was almost impossible to subdue the likes of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms region, the chances of subduing the Hōjō Clan and the Riken Clan in the Nihon region were similarly slim.
This was especially true for the Hōjō clan, which was also a first-rate force in the Nihon civilization. Starting from Hōjō Sayumo, the clan had five generations of clan leaders. In the Tōkaidō region, they had a prosperous period for 100 years.
The Hōjō clan's sphere of influence had once occupied Izu, Sagami, Musashi, Shimo, and Shangye. In addition, they even had a part of Shimo, Junhe, Kafe, Jojo, and Changlu's territory. They were the most powerful existence in the entire Nihon Warring States region.
Although Wako Uesugi was also a quasi-daimyo, he was accidentally subdued by Yang Rui. He could only be regarded as a special case. After all, it was a rare occurrence for a child to encounter Yang Rui by chance and be defeated by Yang Rui in a bet.
At the same time, Wako Uesugi once again proved the dangers of "gambling".
"That's not entirely the case, my lord. If the Riken clan is the target, then it's naturally not a problem to start from Anfang Country. If the Hōjō clan is the target, then it's best to start from Kobayashi Castle in Sagami Country!"
After Wako Uesugi thought for a moment, she half denied Yang Rui's statement and directly focused on the Riken and Hōjō clans' nests. Especially the Hōjō clan's situation. Obviously, Wako Uesugi had a clearer and clearer understanding.
Oda City? Although Wako Uesugi's idea seemed to jump a little, her idea of directly pointing to Oda City gave Yang Rui a lot of hints. After this reminder, Yang Rui also realized the importance of Oda City in the background of the Nihon Warring States civilization.
Next, the two's topic revolved around Oda City and the Hōjō clan, and they talked for nearly half a day. When Yang Rui finally left Rinizan-ji in Kasugayama City, it was already nightfall.
After Yang Rui left the Kasugayama foothills, he directly took out Sky City in an inconspicuous place and used it to go straight to Oda City in Sagami.
Since Wako Uesugi had already submitted to Yang Rui, Yang Rui could freely use Sky City within the entire Kasugayama City. Just like in an Earth-level territory, he directly put Sky City into his Backpack.
Yang Rui controlled Sky City and hurried on his way. In the middle of the night, he had already arrived directly above Oda City's Tenshou Pavilion and once again arranged the Four Symbols Maze to hide Sky City.
With the Four Symbols Maze's concealment, not to mention at night, even in broad daylight, it was very difficult for people to discover Sky City's existence. Even if they accidentally noticed it, they would probably just treat it as a white cloud.
In this way, for most of the day, Yang Rui controlled Sky City to carefully observe the surroundings above Oda City. It was only after midnight that Yang Rui controlled Sky City to fly toward the southeast of Musashi, in the direction of Shimonosei.
At this time, the Hōjō clan had yet to reach its peak, but it was not far from the Battle of Hetsuya, a classic battle during the Warring States period of Japan. The Hōjō clan's influence had already extended to the southeast of Musashi. At the same time, they had achieved a general control over almost the entire Shimonosei.
After Wako Uesugi's introduction, Yang Rui clearly understood that the Hōjō clan's third patriarch, Hōjō Yasumasa, was currently supporting his nephew's puppet, the Ashikaga Uchiha, and had already achieved obvious results in Shimonosei.
Meanwhile, the territory occupied by the Hōjō clan in Musashi was directly controlled, and their influence was also very wide. Moreover, they were continuously extending toward the center and the northwest.
If there were no external interference, Musashi would still be continuously invaded by the Hōjō clan after the Battle of Hetsuya. It would probably have to wait until Wako Uesugi finally took over Uesugi Kenmasa's position in Kanto before the situation would change. In the game, this time would probably be pushed back to five or six game years later.
However, due to Yang Rui's appearance, this process was almost destined to change. Previously, Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi had discussed for a long time and had already made the Hōjō clan their opponent. (To be continued.)
