Chapter 2190 A Big Pie Falls from the Sky
Amago Yukimori came out of Fushimi Castle and returned to her main camp. Looking at the white flag of the Genji flying on the top of the castle, her brows were still furrowed.

Today's Amako Yukimori is no longer the ignorant little boy he used to be. He has followed Sasaki Yoshigane since he was fifteen years old. He is thirty-three years old now, and wrinkles have already appeared at the corners of his eyes.

She was once praised by Yoshigun as the most beautiful girl in the world, and now she also has her own responsibilities and obligations. She returns to the west to replace the deceased Niwa Katsuhisa and revive the Niwa family.

But the reality is always so cruel, and the road to revival is full of thorns and extremely bumpy.

Tachihara Hisasuna, who was standing next to him, noticed that something was wrong with Amako Yukimori and stepped forward to show concern.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

As he walked back, Yukimori Amako shook his head.

"I'm fine, just a little depressed."

Tachihara Hisasuna shook his head slightly, feeling sympathy and sighing for Niwa Yukimori.

After Niwa Katsuhisa died, Niwa Yukimori changed his surname and took the initiative to take over the responsibility of reviving the Niwa family. Relying on the emperor's favor and the descendant of the god in his belly, he finally stabilized the basic foundation of the Niwa family.

In order to avoid the intensification of the conflict between the Amago and Akechi families, the sage also promised to help the Amago family return to the west and completely defeat their blood feud with the Mori family.

But whether the saint's promise can be fulfilled depends on whether the Amago family can fight hard enough.

To be honest, although Niwa Yukimori had good intentions, her ability was indeed lacking, far inferior to Niwa Katsuhisa back then.

When the saint went to Kyoto this time, his main reinforcements were the troops of Maeda Toshiie, Maeda Yoshitsugu, and Amago Yukimori. All three families were descendants of gods, but there was a huge gap in their strength.

Maeda Toshiie integrated the samurai of the three countries of Echizen, Kaga and Noto, and brought a mobilization force of one million stones and 30,000 troops, with a huge momentum.

Maeda Yoshitsu served as the general of Kinki for many years and had a high prestige among the Kinki samurai.

In addition, she also served as the deputy governor of Kinki Sabo Domain, held a lot of power, and had close economic ties with various families in Kinki, so everyone was willing to obey her commands.

Compared with the two prosperous Maeda families, the Amago family was much poorer.

When Niwa Katsuhisa returned to the west, he resigned from his post as the deputy governor of Kinki Sabo Domain and gave up the Kinki Domain.

After her death, Amago Yukimori only retained the territory of Koriyama Castle and did not regain other powers.

The Amago clan had the saint's guarantee but lacked its own territory and money. It had already exhausted all their energy to support their old subordinates, let alone expand their resources and network.

Especially in the Nitta enclave incident, Amago Yukimori took the initiative to assume the responsibility for the rapid rebellion against the Qing dynasty, and offended a large number of powerful military families in Kinki.

Although no one dared to say anything with the saint watching over them, the relationship between the Amago family and the various families in the Kinki region became increasingly distant.

Amago Yukimori, who was determined to return to the west, actually didn't care what the Kinki samurai thought. Anyway, they would not be eating at the same table in the future, so there was no need to care.

But we should leave room for everything because no one can be omniscient and omnipotent, so we have to keep some human touch just in case.

Because Amago Yukimori was too upright, the Amago family was in an extremely difficult situation during this expedition. They were suppressed by the two Maeda families and marginalized in the war.

If the Amago family cannot achieve enough merit on the battlefield, how can they have the face to ask for more benefits in the future?

Niwa Yukimori, who had just suffered a loss at the council meeting, was inevitably depressed, while Tatehara Hisanaga knew the truth but could do nothing about it.

Interpersonal relationships are developed through daily interactions, and economic foundations are built through long-term accumulation.

Niwa Yukimori had no advantage in either of these two aspects, so even if he wanted to cram at the last minute, he wouldn't be able to do so.

Tachihara Hisasuna could only silently change the subject, distract Amako Yukimori's attention, and help the family head relieve the depression in his heart.

“The Saint was very determined this time and requested that the Second Prince be made the general-in-chief to command the entire army against an army corps.

Unexpectedly, the defeat of Tominomori did not make the Second Princess fall out of favor, but the Saint deliberately strengthened her power despite all the comments from all sides. "

Niwa Yukimori shook his head and said.

"There is no such thing as discussions from all sides. Today, the words of a saint are law. It is no longer the time when he was constrained by all kinds of people.

You see, the entire Kuchiki family was exiled to the border of O-Wu. Was there anyone who stood up to speak for the Kuchiki family?

The girl Uesugi Yoshikage was extremely smart since she was young, and her mother was from the famous Uesugi family.

The eldest brother, Takeda Yoshinobu, has an awkward background and cannot be the heir. If the saint does not support the second brother, who else can he support?
If they really want to establish the youngest son and replace the eldest son, are they going to support the third son, Yuigahama Yoshinao, that troublemaker?

Or, should we choose the wise? Who has the final say on who is wise and who is foolish among the dozen or so children of the descendants of God?
It's difficult for a saint. His family was wiped out when he was young, and his family and children are what he cares about most in his life. If he doesn't support Uesugi Yoshikage, what should he do?
In my opinion, Uesugi Yoshikage is a good girl, quite good."

As Amago Yukimori was talking to himself, Tachihara Hisanaga was sweating profusely and looking around, fearing that others might hear him and misunderstand him.

You have to know that Niwa Yukimori is the mother of the descendants of gods, so it would be okay for her to just make up a few nonsense.

But if someone spread the word and made the saint think that Tachihara Hisanaga was meddling in the family affairs of the descendants of God, it would be considered magnanimous of the saint if her entire family was killed.

Tachihara Hisanagi helplessly looked at the blabbering Amako Yukimori. This guy is good-looking, but could he use a little brain? He is still like this after all these years.

Niwa Yukimori talked for a long time, but Tachihara Hisasuna didn't respond. He turned around to look at her in confusion, but saw that Tachihara Hisasuna was silent.

"What are you afraid of? It's just you and me here, let's just chat."

Tachihara Hisasuna smiled bitterly.

"My dear head of the family, is this a topic that can be discussed casually? Please spare my old bones."

Niwa Yukimori shook his head and sighed. "If not this, what else can we talk about? About those Kinki samurai clans secretly ostracizing me? Sending my troops to the corners of the defense line?
Maeda Toshiie ate the meat, Maeda Toshiya drank the soup, and I licked the plate!
Everyone knows that this is the last battle for the unification of the world. If the Niwa family cannot obtain enough military merits, even if they successfully return to their homeland, how can they establish a foothold in the West and be convincing? "

Niwa Yukimori spoke with grief and anger, while Tachihara Hisanaga remained silent.

After all, the Amago family was too weak, with only a few tens of thousands of stones in size.

The Wu family is very realistic. If you don't have the strength, no one will pay attention to you. They don't flatter the powerful or bully the weak, or kick you when you're down. This is because they consider you to be the descendants of the gods of the Amago family.

While the two were talking, they had already walked back to the main camp, only to see several important officials of the family standing outside the main camp, looking at them anxiously.

"Why are you here?"

One person stepped forward and spoke softly.

"Someone wants to see the head of the family and has been waiting inside for quite a while."

Looking at the strange and confused expressions on the faces of his ministers, Niwa Yukimori couldn't help but frown and asked.

"Who?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"His Highness Takeda Shingen."

"Takeda Shingen? Isn't she in Kanto participating in the mobilization? Even if she has arrived at Fushimi Castle, why doesn't she go to see the saint first? Why is she looking for me?"

Amago Yukimori and Tachihara Hisakatsuna looked at each other, very confused.

Tachihara Hisasuna advised.

"No matter what, you should go meet that Tiger of Kai first and find out why she's here."

---

Inside the Amago main camp, Amago Yukimori and Takeda Shingen greeted each other and sat down. Before they could even exchange pleasantries, Takeda Shingen went straight to the point.

“I am ashamed to say that I came to visit you in such a dusty state without even having the time to bathe or change clothes. It was really a bit rude of me.

I boarded the ship directly from Edo, got off at Ise, and went to Kyoto from Iga. I didn’t expect the journey to be so smooth and faster than I thought. ”

Niwa Yukimori was shocked when he heard this.

Now the Sasaki and Ichijo families are in full-scale confrontation, and military families in various places are on the verge of war. This journey is not peaceful at all.

Takeda Shingen was a daimyo with a rank of 1 million koku and the mother of a god, yet he managed to reach Fushimi Castle so quickly with only a small entourage.

A lady like you should not stand under a dangerous wall. What if something happens to Takeda Shingen on the road, what will the Takeda family do? She is too brave.

Moreover, for what purpose did the Lord of Takeda rush to the capital at all costs, not seeing the saint or his daughter, but running to talk to Amago Yukimori first?
What does she want to do?

When Takeda Shingen saw Amago Yukimori's puzzled look, he smiled and said.

"Your Highness must be wondering why I came to see you.

Although you and I are both mothers of the gods, we each have our own duties and rarely interact with each other. What do I, Takeda Shingen, want when I suddenly visit you?"

Niwa Yukimori bowed slightly and did not deny it.

"Please help me solve this puzzle, Your Highness Takeda."

Takeda Shingen bowed in return and said.

"I wonder if His Highness Nizi recognizes Kobayakawa Takakage?"

Niwa Yukimori sneered.

"The second daughter of Mori Motonari, the current ruler of the Mori family. The hatred between the Amago and Mori families is as deep as the sea. How dare I not know her? I will remember it in my heart."

Takeda Shingen clapped his hands, smiling, but his eyes were extremely cold and he spoke through gritted teeth.

“Then I have found the right person.

To be honest with you, Your Highness, I have an impulse to do nothing for the rest of my life and just deal with Kobayakawa Takakage.

But then I thought, I can't let her whole family get away with it, it's better to send her whole family to hell together to avoid her being lonely."

The resentful and cold tone of Takeda Shingen's voice made Amago Yukimori, who hated the Mori family deeply, feel his hair stand on end and his heart tremble with fear.

Niwa Yukimori looked at Takeda Shingen and asked uncertainly after a while.

"You did it for Kosaka Masanobu? Just for Kosaka Masanobu?"

There was a trace of sadness in Takeda Shingen's eyes and he nodded slowly.

"Yes, for Kousaka Masanobu.

For the sake of Kousaka Masanobu, I can fight the Mori family to the death for the rest of my life without asking for anything in return.

You killed my beloved and insulted his body. This hatred is irreconcilable."

Niwa Yukimori felt a little dizzy. He looked at Takeda Shingen's serious expression and felt as if a big pie suddenly fell from the sky and hit him directly on the head.
