A quarter of an hour ago, Liu Eighteen hid behind his own formation and whispered to Liu Shengzong......

Liu Eighteen, who was born with a natural understanding of the subtleties of geography and mountains and rivers, felt that there was something strange about the burned Noda City!

In such a middle place, which is not dangerous, why should a strong city be built for no reason?

It is surrounded by five large and small castles in an irregular way, and it is right in the middle of Noda Castle.

If something goes wrong, it's a demon......

Liu Eighteen's creed of touching gold, if you don't rush into trouble, you must come to the bottom of it!

Whispering to Yanagi Zongyan for some key things, Liu Eighteen secretly returned to the Takeda main camp and sat unhappily on the horse without a backrest.

Sitting on a horse stool and decorating the sculpture is the style of the Takeda family's family governor - immovable as a mountain!

…………………………

At the same time, Tokugawa Ieyasu was soliciting the opinions of the two retainers who were not welcome.

"Honda Masanobu, you speak first. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu squinted at Honda Masanobu.

He naturally didn't have a good impression of this Erwuzai who opposed him, but he couldn't resist the old minister Okubo's begging or compromise, so he should be an idler.

"Hah!"

Honda Masanobu saw Tokugawa Ieyasu ask him, his face was happy, he frowned and thought for a while, and cautiously explained:

"My lord, Noda Castle fell too quickly, and it was very suspicious. Think about it, if our 12,000 troops attacked Noda Castle at the same time, how long would it take?

Even if you don't want to climb the hill and storm Noda Castle, which is garrisoned by a thousand people, it will take at least three hours or more......

The Takeda Army, on the other hand, only arrived two or three hours earlier than us, but we didn't see a single living person when we arrived, and even Noda Castle was burned down, isn't right......"

"Honda Masashi believes that you have a point. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu's expression was unusually heavy.

Frowning, Ieyasu turned his head to look at Sanada Shinyin again, and said strangely:

"Shin-Yin, what do you suggest differently?"

Sanada Shinyin is a controversial figure in the official history, and legend has it that his wisdom is no weaker than that of Sanada Masayuki, the head of the Sanada family, but he retreated into the background in order to assist Masayuki.

"Hah!"

"According to the spies, some farmers along the road in the Mino area saw the Takeda army marching towards Noda Castle in the middle of the night, and they marched over the mountains to avoid the night sentry of Futamata Castle. ”

Sanada Shinyin raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and then looked left and right at the other retainers, especially Honda Heihachiro, the killer.

"Don't worry about Zhongsheng's appearance, just say it!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled kindly, and he has always been stingy with those who have the ability.

"Hah!"

Sanada Shinyin hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said:

"The Takeda Army only had more than 1,000 soldiers and less than 2,000 soldiers, and they quickly captured Noda Castle, but abandoned the city and burned it!

In the end, he hoarded his forces in two abysses that were difficult to defend, just to wait for the lord's army to surround him......?

"I see, it's a little weird. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Sanada Nobuyin cautiously and said approvingly:

"Very good! If it weren't for the two of you, maybe I would have sent Honda Heihachiro to rush over with his troops in order to take revenge......"

Sanada Nobuyin and Honda Masanobu were praised by the governor, and at the same time thanked him:

"Hah!"

"My lord, there is indeed something abnormal, and your subordinates also feel ......"

At this time, Honda Tadakatsu also took a step forward, and stood side by side with Tokugawa Ieyasu, his eyes looking five or six miles away, on the two hills on the plain, on which there were many flags......

The family crest of the Takeda family is waving in the wind......

The four-character military flag of the wind forest volcano is clearly recognizable!

Tokugawa Ieyasu frowned, took two steps forward with his hands behind his back, turned his head to stare at Honda Tadakatsu, and asked with a smile in his eyes:

"Zhongsheng, try it, do I feel the same way as you?"

"Oh, my lord, too—do you have a heart?"

Honda Tadakatsu is a legend of the Tokugawa family, who fought more than fifty times in his life without being harmed by a cold blade.

However, force and bravery do not mean that Honda Tadashi is simple-minded and has developed limbs!

He is also thoughtful, and his keen eye can accurately find the weakest link in the enemy formation, and succeed in one blow.

Otherwise, Honda Tadakatsu would have been thrown away on the battlefield a long time ago, where did he live so nourishing now?

"Humph!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu snorted and said with displeasure on his face:

"Do you think I'm inferior to the strategists, or even to the soldiers and generals, and I'm a fool?"

"Boasting ......"

Honda Tadakatsu was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty:

"Minister, the minister is dead, please atone for your sins. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu grinned and cried:

"Zhongsheng, you're getting naughty and naughty......"

"Hee-hee, the lord still understands me......"

In an instant, the frightened Honda Tadakatsu stood up again with a wink and a smile, patting the dirt on his legs, with an indifferent attitude.

Sanada Shinyin and Honda Masanobu looked at each other and shook their heads and said secretly:

"People are more angry than people!"

Tokugawa didn't have any retainers in his life who he fully believed, but Honda Tadakatsu was definitely a heavyweight favorite.

People are teenagers who grow up playing with mud and wearing open crotch pants, just kidding!

Hearing Ieyasu's praise, Honda Tadakatsu was triumphant, looked at Sanada and his own family, Honda Masanobu, and then said with a serious face:

Especially on the plains, it was so quiet that there was not a single soldier in sight.

There are only faint figures on Liangyuan Mountain, and it is impossible for more than a thousand people to be without a sound!

The strange thing is that even the repeated insect chirping in the field has disappeared! The minister thought that there was a deception ...... ahead."

"Is it that the troops have died down?"

Ieyasu's eyes widened with intense unwillingness.

Noda Castle is a respected old monk of the temple who chose the coordinates for himself to build the city......

Secretly, the old monk warned himself that Noda Castle might be called, the city of emperors!

Occupy Noda Castle, surrounded by five cities, and have imperial luck!

Tokugawa Ieyasu took a breath and laughed dryly, then shouted:

"Hehehe...... The retainers and soldiers of Noda Castle cannot die in vain! As the governor of the family, I, Ieyasu, must avenge them. ”

When the retainers of the Tokugawa family heard this, they bowed down at the same time and said:

"The Lord is benevolent!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded in satisfaction and turned his head to look

"Sanada Shini, can you be sure! The Takeda family has less than 2,000 soldiers?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu sneered and turned his head to look at Sanada Nobuyo.

"Hah! ”

Shini Sanada, affirmatively responded.

"Whew, so what's there to think about?"

Ieyasu's face was soothing, and he said lightly:

"Any conspiracy and trickery is vulnerable in the face of absolute military power...... Two thousand against my 14,000 troops. ”

When Honda Tadakatsu heard this, he already understood Tokugawa Ieyasu's decision, and immediately asked Zhandao:

"My lord, the minister is the vanguard, opening the way for the army to rush into battle. ”

"Don't panic! I'm already confident, the Takeda family took the risk to attack the territory of Mikawa, which is nothing more than forcing the Tokugawa family to withdraw their troops, hehe......"

Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled confidently.

However, his right eyelid jumped three times inexplicably......
