Kei Jiro, Kita He Shinaizu Jin Monogatari (Haru Ki Bunko Sa 22-1 Jidai Shosetsu Bunko)

[Machine Translation] After Toyotomi Hideyoshi left the world, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the leader of the Five Elders, began to reveal his ambition to take over the country by bringing the Maeda family to its knees. He set Uesugi as his next target. At this time, Maeda Keijiro entered Aizu and entered the service of the Uesugi under the name of Kokuzoin Piaotosai. Naoe Kanetsugu, a retainer of the Uesugi family, denounced Ieyasu and invited him to attack Aizu. This was a major strategy to pincer Ieyasu in response to Ishida Mitsunari's invasion of Aizu. Uesugi, who had Ieyasu heading west as he wished, entered into a fierce battle with Date and Mogami in the northeastern part of Japan. The author, who won the 9th Kadokawa Haruki Novel Award for "Ransei wo Yuke: Oda no Tsuchibana, Takigawa Kazumasa," depicts the final battle of the "Kabuki-no-kabukushiki" under the heavenly dominion!
