Dongpango.
Within the three castles of the kingdom!
As evening fell, the distinctive sedan chair of Dongpango stopped in front of the Emperor's Palace.
The servant lifted the curtain, and Uesugi Kenshin stepped lightly out of the sedan chair.
Just as he entered, preparing to pay his respects to Emperor Ashikaga, he bumped into Tokugawa Yoshimochi in the corridor.
As the last Tokugawa family to swear allegiance to the Emperor, their territory was located east of Higashipango.
It was less a matter of loyalty and more a peace negotiation between two lords, as the Tokugawa clan was extremely powerful.
The Tokugawa family outwardly submitted to Ashikaga, but their submission was merely a facade.
At the same time, Emperor Ashikaga was always wary of the Tokugawa family.
During the last expedition against Great Xia, in order to prevent the Tokugawa clan from causing trouble during the war, Emperor Ashikaga allowed the Tokugawa clan not to participate in the expedition, because the reason was to eliminate the remnants of the opposition forces within the territory.
During the war, the Tokugawa family only performed defensive duties within the Eastern Pangolin territory.
During this period, the Tokugawa clan surveyed their territory and was also responsible for subsequent supplies.
Upon seeing Uesugi Kenkatsu, Tokugawa Yoshimochi was quite surprised. "General Uesugi, you've come too?" Tokugawa Yoshimochi raised an eyebrow.
Uesugi Kenkatsu looked up. "What? There are other people who have come to see the Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Tokugawa Yoshimochi stroked his beard and smiled, "It seems that General Uesugi is unaware of this."
Uesugi Kenshin nodded. "Is it about the Regent of Great Xia?"
"Hahaha!" Tokugawa Yoshimochi exclaimed, "It seems this is true? The Regent of Great Xia has really come to Dongpango!"
Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenkatsu frowned. "His Majesty the Emperor has already learned of this?"
"Yes! Kuroda, Fukushima, Naoe, they've all arrived!" Tokugawa Yoshimochi said.
"What did His Majesty the Emperor say that day? Has he made a decision?"
"I'm also having a headache over this!"
Just then, a guard ran up, "General Uesugi, General Tokugawa. His Majesty the Emperor is looking for you!"
The two exchanged a glance, and then went to the main hall together.
In the main hall.
Emperor Higashikaga Nobunari sits in the center.
This man is 64 years old, but he still looks very energetic.
Dongpango admired martial prowess, and Ashikaga Nobunari was also a samurai who was passionate about swordsmanship in his youth.
Because of his noble birth, he was surrounded by teachers with exceptional martial arts skills.
At the same time, Ashikaga Nobushige also used swordsmanship to enhance his and his samurai's fighting strength. He showed extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, and at the age of twenty, he even became a disciple of two contemporary swordsmanship masters from East Pango to learn swordsmanship.
He was an unparalleled master, unprecedented in skill, and was hailed by Dongpan Ge as the Emperor of Swords.
During the war to unify the East Pango, Ashikaga Nobushige led from the front, inspiring his subordinates to win one victory after another.
However, having spent his life in the military, he never imagined that he would suffer such a humiliating disgrace in his old age.
His brave and skilled generals, leading their ever-victorious troops, were utterly defeated by a young man from the Great Xia Dynasty.
Even more outrageous is that this young man from Great Xia actually came to his own capital all by himself to cause trouble!
What he found most unbearable was that his subordinates were now divided into two factions and were arguing about the matter.
"Your Majesty the Emperor! I believe that the Regent of Great Xia should be welcomed with the highest honors to demonstrate Dongpango's determination for peace!" The speaker was Fukushima Masakatsu. Clearly, he had been thoroughly terrified of Lin Mo during the last war.
“I don’t think so! He came alone, which is tantamount to walking into a trap! We should send our most elite warriors to capture him. In this way, we can force the Great Xia people to withdraw their troops from Dongpango.”
At the same time, we can use him to demand territorial concessions and reparations from the Great Xia, thereby gaining even more benefits!
"You're absolutely insane!" Fukushima Masakatsu exclaimed. "Xu Chu, that Xu Chu is on White Deer Island. Are you trying to lure him here?"
"Are you terrified of the Great Xia people? One Xu Chu is enough to frighten you like this? If we could capture the Great Xia Regent, would Xu Chu dare to act recklessly?"
"Don't you know who that Xu Chu is?" Fukushima Masakatsu said. "That guy's not very bright, you know? Who knows what he'll do!"
"Even if someone is mentally challenged, they wouldn't abandon their own regent, would they?"
"Then let me ask you, how do you capture him? What do you use to capture him?" Fukushima Masakatsu said, "It is said that the Regent of Great Xia possesses immortal magic and can turn beans into soldiers! Didn't the Empress of Great Xia also do such a thing?"
They set a trap, feigning to marry off the princess, and ambushed the regent with thousands of imperial guards, intending to kill him at the banquet.
And what was the result?
A large, terrifying cavalry force clad in black armor suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he lost his life in the process!
The news of Wei Maozhen's reckless behavior had already spread throughout the entire continent.
How Lin Mo managed to turn the tide in such a desperate situation has become a subject of much speculation.
Some say that Lin Mo had actually set up an ambush, waiting for Wei Maozhen to seek his own death.
Some say that the ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty disapproved of Wei Maozhen's behavior and rebelled midway.
But many more people are willing to believe that Lin Mo possesses sorcery!
Initially, the lords of East Pangor believed in the first two possibilities.
However, after the last war, Lin Mo's ability to use immortal techniques seems to have become more deeply ingrained in people's minds.
"What kind of bullshit magic is this!" Sanada roared. "It's utter nonsense! I think you should send your most elite samurai to capture him alive!"
Moreover, don't talk about interests, ceding territory, or paying reparations.
In my opinion, such villains who killed tens of thousands of my Dongpan warriors should be captured alive and sent back to Sanjo Castle. They should then be paraded around the castle as a public spectacle before being taken to the execution ground and executed by slow slicing, as a warning to others!
The lord who agreed to capture Lin Mo nodded and gave Sanada a thumbs up.
