Our life is amazing, not only because the soil of our life is so rich and fertile, but also because out of this soil still grows distinctive, healthy, creative things, good ---- inherent in man. These things evoke an indestructible hope that a bright, humane life will eventually awaken.

"Father, are you worried that our Sanada family's power in the family army is too large, which will cause the lord to be jealous?" Sanada Nobuyuki, who heard a special meaning from his father's words, widened his eyes with excessive shock.

"It's impossible. Sanada Nobuyoshi, who was shocked by his brother's words, explained with a wry smile: "Two-thirds of the officers of our Yanhuang Standing Army were personally appointed by the lord, and he has no reservations about his trust in our Sanada family. ”

"Son, can't you use your brain before you speak?" Looking at his eldest son with a blank face, Sanada Masayuki hated iron and said: "If the lord doesn't even have this amount of tolerance, then how can my Yanhuang family be strong and prosperous today?"

"Oh......" After a pause, Sanada Nobuyuki asked again, "Since the lord trusts us, what are you worried about, father?"

At the moment of "I ......", Sanada Masayuki felt that it was not innocence that defeated him, but innocence; after he couldn't help but slap his eldest son, Sanada Masayuki was angry and explained slightly: "Then according to your meaning, my Sanada family should be pampered and arrogant?"

Touching the back of his head that had been slapped, Sanada Nobuyuki, who felt deeply aggrieved in his heart, reluctantly admitted his mistake and said: "Father, I didn't mean to say that, you don't have a lot of mouths and unintentional knowledge." ”

"Alas, the more unintentional it is, the more worrying it is!" Sanada Masayuki said in a calm tone: "Even you all know that our Sanada family's power in the family army is extremely huge, how can the lord and other important ministers in the family not know?

"Father, before I led my army south, Izumiyama Koyasu, who had been newly promoted to the rank of Mutsu Taishou, and Nanbu Nobunao, who was newly promoted to Mitsunoku Taishou, had already been relieved of their positions as commanders of the standing army. ”

"Separation of military and government?" Sanada Masayuki, who had always believed in his second son, said after a moment of silence: "Shin Fango, what do you mean is that after the end of this war, I took the initiative to resign from the head of the Sanada Standing Army to the family governor and leave the family military circle. ”

Sanada Nobuyoshi, who knew that his father understood what he meant, had to explain to his brother, who was still at a loss: "Brother, my father is not a martial artist who can only fight on the battlefield;

Growing up, his father has always been the person Sanada Nobuyoshi admires the most, and although his father has made mistakes, Sanada has always believed that his father's wisdom will never change.

"Although Nanbu Shinnao and Izumiyama Koyasu have stepped down from their posts as commanders of the standing army, the names of those two standing armies have not changed, and this is an opportunity for my Sanada family to perform; ”

"Father is wise!"

"Father, how could the lord let the three of us withdraw from the family military at the same time?"

Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyo's completely different answers made the corners of Sanada Masayuki's mouth twitch slightly, he resisted his urge to do it, and tried to squeeze out a smile and said: "Nobuyuki, I asked you to resign from the position of commander of the Yanhuang Standing Army, not to let you quit the military world." ”

"Oh, I see. Sanada Nobuyuki suddenly realized: "Father, you asked me and Nobuya to come back and take over the Sanada Standing Army, right? I see, you don't worry about handing over our family's Sanada Standing Army to someone else's commander!"

"Smack!" Sanada Masayuki slapped Sanada Nobuyuki's head, and scolded angrily: "You son of a!" The Sanada Standing Army is the Sanada Standing Army of the Yanhuang family, not the Sanada Standing Army of our Sanada family, don't you even understand this?!"

"Brother, what my father means is that he will resign from the post of commander of the Sanada Standing Army, and at the same time ask the lord to withdraw the name of the Sanada Standing Army and merge the Sanada Standing Army into the Yanhuang Standing Army; ”

"Father, do you really plan to hand over all the military power that our Sanada family has accumulated over decades to the lord?"

Facing the solemn eyes of his second son, Sanada Masayuki nodded solemnly and said: "You have also seen with your own eyes the strength of the Yanhuang family, and if our Sanada family wants to truly become a member of the Yanhuang family, we must make such a sacrifice." ”

"Father, you can rest assured, no matter what decision you make, our Sanada family's military superiority over the Yanhuang family will not be diminished for decades. Sanada Nobuyoshi said in a sonorous voice: "The lord is not a hypocrite who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge. ”

"Yes, father. Sanada Nobuyuki, who was scolded just now and didn't dare to speak, also echoed: "The lord's trust in our Sanada family is obvious to everyone; ”

Just as Sanada Nobuyuki said, once Sanada Masayuki insisted on resigning from his post as commander of the Sanada Standing Army, the lord would inevitably place generous compensation on the Sanada family in other aspects.

The three kingdoms of Ueno, Shimono, and Hitachi, which are about to be included in the rule of the Yanhuang family, must be the position of Taishou of one of the countries must be in the bag of Sanada Masayuki; in addition, the generals that the Sanada family has slowly cultivated will also become the backbone of the Yanhuang Standing Army.

In this way, the Sanada family's strength in the Yanhuang family's army will not only not be weakened, but will be further strengthened, and the only price that the Sanada family needs to pay for this is to show their family's loyalty to the governor by actively retreating.

Since they knew that the next decisive battle in the south might be the last battlefield battle in their lifetime, Sanada Masayuki, who had fought all his life, decided to really fight a war that he devoted himself to!

This is the first time, Sanada Masayuki went to fight a war for the sake of fighting, what family's life and death, what personal reputation and disgrace, everything was left behind by Sanada Masayuki, he wanted to be a pure soldier!
