>usually that's just not possible without utilizing allies.
All I can say is that I've played Ueusugi a lot. Free Company and fighting smart wars is all you need. The big thing is that once you've wiped the enemy armies and all that's left is sieging, start hunting for the next war. Remember that everyone is at war, so there's always someone whose allies will abandon them bc they're being sieged or whatever. When you do, leave 1 inf on your old war's sieges to stop them from rebuilding and then use your army to fight the other war. Always use the Free Company for your sieges, there are very few actual forts in Japan.
At the start, Chiba, Satake, and Utsunomiya are all allied to each other, but Utsunomiya's ruler is cruel and so will not honor his alliance with the others (I've played Ueusugi a LOT) so you can isolate them that way. I used to sell all my ships at the start for the cash, but lately I haven't bothered with that since you will need them to take Hosokawa
I don't normally expand that fast. If you don't either, just keep in mind that EVERYTHING is for war. You're going to fall behind in tech and everything else, but you'll expand fast enough that it won't matter. Burgher loans + cash from enemies (leave no one alive for war reps), and you'll make it
