Chapter 2168 Angry Uesugi Kenshin
Admiration is the feeling that is farthest from understanding. Once upon a time, Uesugi Kenshin was so obsessed with Sasaki Yoshikane that he was even willing to give up half of Echigo and spend his life with him.

But as time goes by, even the most beautiful feelings are scarred by the impact of reality. Uesugi Kenshin, who has gradually become disenchanted with Yigin, is now most concerned about his daughter, Uesugi Miyuki.

When Uesugi Kenshin learned that Sasaki Yoshikane had brought up his coming of age ceremony for Uesugi Miyuki ahead of schedule and had Uesugi Yoshikage go north to Kyoto after his coming of age ceremony, he had to fight head-on with a powerful army as he was weak against a strong force in his first battle.

This good mother was completely furious.

Kasugayama Castle.

The weather in midsummer is always unpredictable. A rainstorm comes and goes quickly. The sun is shining brightly in the courtyard, but the dew on the leaves has not dried yet.

Uesugi stood in the yard, gazing into the distance. Behind him, Naoe Kanetsugu knelt down and kowtowed, ignoring the muddy ground, as he tried to persuade the emperor to perform the music.

"Your Highness, please think twice."

Uesugi Kenshin spoke to himself without even turning his head.

"Think twice? I just thought too much in the past few years, so people don't take me seriously anymore.

You are such a good man, Shiba Yoshigin. My daughter is yours, but she is also mine. You were willing to let my daughter take risks without asking me a single question.

Uesugi Kenshin spoke in a resentful tone, as if he was talking to the air in front of him. Naoe Kanetsugu behind him was sweating profusely and had to interrupt and persuade him.

"Saint, this is also for the good of the young prince."

Uesugi Kenshin turned his head and looked at Naoe Kanetsugu. His gaze was like thorns, which made Naoe Kanetsugu's scalp numb and he subconsciously lowered his head.

"Of course I understand what he means. He wants Miyuki to gain enough military merit in the war to unify the world so that she can inherit the future Shiba world more smoothly.

But has he ever thought that Shenxue is only eleven years old this year! He and I have both been to the battlefield, and he knows the truth that swords and guns are blind on the battlefield!
Even if he intends to support his daughter and let her serve as the chief general, he should let me serve as his daughter's representative. There is no reason to push his daughter into the fire pit!

Yes, he has many daughters, but I only have one daughter! "

The Wu family does have a tradition of letting their children go into battle early to gain experience, but the title of chief general is just an empty title, and the one who truly controls the army is the commander chosen by the chief general.

Uesugi Kenshin's military talent is impressive, and she is willing to fight for her daughter, but Sasaki Yoshikane seems unwilling to do so.

The descendants of the gods in Kanto have already established deep roots and branches. If Uesugi Kenshin is allowed to fight in place of his daughter, the future of Sōma will not be ruled by his daughter, Miyuki, and she will inevitably be restrained by others.

Kenshin Uesugi was worried about his daughter's safety, and at the same time felt aggrieved that Yoshigaki Sasaki did not believe in him.

You, Yoshigane Sasaki, have many women and daughters, but I, Kenshin Uesugi, only have one child, Miyuki. If anything happens to her, what's the point of me living?

In fact, if Uesugi Kenshin had calmed down and thought about it, she would have known what the Uesugi retainers were like, and would have understood that Sasaki Yoshikane's worries were not unfounded.

The Uesugi retainers were a traditional samurai group in the true sense, a loose samurai alliance, a more loose hodgepodge than the Ashikaga shogunate.

If it weren't for Yoshikin Sasaki who trained Uesugi Kenshin's retainers several times and cleaned up the mess for this woman who knew nothing about politics, Uesugi's retainers would have been even more scattered and chaotic than they are now.

But putting aside the facts, Uesugi Kenshin was just feeling aggrieved and worried. Doesn't that mean Sasaki Yoshikane has no responsibility at all?

Once people become unreasonable, especially those in high positions and powerful people who are unwilling to be reasonable, it is really impossible to persuade them.

Their brains are clearer than yours, but they just want to be willful, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Naoesuke Kanetsugu smiled bitterly and didn't know how to persuade him.

The Naoes family had a special status in the Uesugi family because they were the pro-Sabo faction in the Uesugi family. As the Sabo world was about to come, the status of the Naoes family also rose.

The sage strictly ordered the descendants of the gods in Kanto not to mobilize in advance, just waiting for Hideyoshi Ichijo to fire the first shot and occupy the absolute moral high ground in politics.

Even if the Kinki Shiba territory was penetrated by a legion of pigs and suffered heavy losses, it would not matter. This is a political battle, and political accounts must be settled.

But Kenshin Uesugi didn't care. When he heard that his daughter was going to face a huge army on the battlefield, he couldn't help it.

She is destroying the political consensus of the Sasaki clan, which will only bring more political risks to Uesugi Miyuki, no, now she should be called Uesugi Yoshikage, when she takes over the throne in the future.

No one wanted Uesugi Yoshikage to become the master of the Sasaki world more than the Uesugi retainers, but facing Uesugi Kenshin who was furious because of his deep love for his son, the Uesugi retainers did not have the courage to object.

So, the unlucky Naoe Kanetsugu was kicked out to admonish his lord. Anyway, given her status, no matter how angry Uesugi Kenshin was, he couldn't kill her with one knife.

Naoe Kanetsugu ran over to persuade them while cursing, but when she really had to face the angry Dragon of Echigo, her clever head got stuck and she didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, a man hurried through the porch, knelt in front of Uesugi Kenshin and bowed.

"Uesugi Kagekatsu has been summoned to meet His Highness."

Uesugi Kenshin helped Uesugi Kagekatsu up and asked in front of Naoesuke Kanetsugu who was kneeling beside him.

"Jingsheng, how have I treated you over the years?"

Uesugi Kenshin's serious question made Uesugi Kagekatsu feel uneasy.

Speaking of Uesugi Kagekatsu, she is the child of Uesugi Kenshin's brother, and the two are aunt and niece.

At that time, Uesugi Kagekatsu's mother was killed by Uesugi Kenshin because she interfered with Uesugi Kenshin's plan to marry Sasaki Yoshikane.

However, Uesugi Kenshin was quite gentle towards his nephew Uesugi Kagekatsu. He allowed her to inherit the Ueda Nagao family and gave her the surname Uesugi.

However, after Uesugi Miyuki was born, Uesugi Kenshin repeatedly warned his adopted daughter Uesugi Kagetora and niece Uesugi Kagekatsu not to covet the inheritance rights of the Uesugi family.

Therefore, Uesugi Kagekatsu had been obedient all these years. But today, when he heard Uesugi Kenshin seriously asking how he treated her, Uesugi Kagekatsu's legs suddenly went weak.

What is this aunt with an unstable temperament going to do now?

Uesugi Kagekatsu wailed in his heart but did not dare to hesitate and answered solemnly.

"My aunt has been so kind to me that I cannot repay her even if I were to die."

Uesugi Kenshin nodded and said lightly.

"good very good.

I don't want you to be torn to pieces, I just want you to protect your sister Miyuki for me.

After all, if she dies, you will be the undisputed heir to the Uesugi family."

Uesugi Kenshin's adopted daughter, Uesugi Kagetora, married Kai-kun and obtained the Furukawa domain granted by the saint, which was equivalent to a branch of the Uesugi family.

If anything happens to Uesugi Miyuki, Uesugi Kagekatsu is indeed the heir who is most closely related to Uesugi Kenshin and has the strongest status.

This is true, but when these words came out of Uesugi Kenshin's mouth, Uesugi Kagekatsu was immediately frightened so much that he turned pale and knelt down to kowtow.

"Your Highness! I have absolutely no intention of coveting the Uesugi family's fortune! If I have any evil thoughts, I will be struck by lightning and turned into ashes!

Sister Miyuki is a descendant of the Shiba God, extremely noble, and will lead the Uesugi family to glory. How can I be qualified to replace her? Your Highness, please understand! "

Looking at Uesugi Kagekatsu who was almost scared to death, Uesugi Kenshin nodded and said.

"I don't mean anything else. Don't think too much about it. I naturally trust you as a person."

Uesugi Kagekatsu felt like crying but had no tears. How could she dare not think too much about it? If she was a little slow in thinking and answering this kind of question, her whole family might die!
