Chapter 239: Brothers
Half a month later, the three coalition forces attacked many small prefectures, and finally captured the entire prefecture, so Takeda Nobuta decided to withdraw his troops from Shinano's small prefecture to the Nirazaki area of Kai.
Somewhere in the field of Nirasaki, at this moment, Suwa Yorishige and Murakami Yoshikiyo each led dozens of horsemen to bid farewell to Takeda Shintora.
"Oh, my father-in-law looks really energetic!" As soon as Suwa Yorishige saw Takeda Shintora, he was full of praise, as if the previous assassination had nothing to do with him.
"You've worked hard this time, too." Takeda Nobutora did not doubt that he also responded: "This time, I have seen the prestige of the Suwa Army!" It was an eye-opener. ”
"Hahahaha, the small county is ours now." Suwa Yorishige laughed and said goodbye to Takeda Shintora, "Then it's time for us to return to Shinano as well." ”
"Ah, that's fast!" At this time, Murakami Yoshikiyo also happened to rush over and laughed: "Ah~~~, Lord Takeda, Lord Suwa." Umino Tsunitsuna fled to Ueno, and now the three of us are invincible. Hahahaha. ”
"Hahahaha." Seeing this, the happy Takeda Nobuta also laughed and proposed: "Lord Murakami, shouldn't you raise a glass to celebrate tonight, and we must also talk about how to distribute the three small counties and counties." ”
However, Murakami Yoshikiyo found an excuse to evade: "I'm really sorry, we have to rush back in a hurry, let's talk about this small county another day!" Farewell. ”
Suwa Yorishige also took over the conversation at this time and said: "In that case, the son-in-law has also taken his leave." ”
Subsequently, Suwa Yorishige and Murakami Yoshikiyo left side by side.
"Pet~~~, young people are not thoughtful after all!" Soon after the two left, Takeda Shintora said with extreme contempt: "The essence of war is to consolidate the results of victory, and it will be too late another day!" ......
A few days later, Takeda Harunobu made a private appointment with his younger brother Nobu Shigeru before he went into exile from his father.
"Is there anything wrong with my brother?" Takeda Nobushi, who was invited by his brother, asked eagerly as soon as he arrived, although Takeda Nobutoshi intended to let him inherit the family business, he still respected Takeda Harunobu very much.
"I have something to tell you!" Takeda Harunobu said slowly to Takeda Nobuyoshi, who came over, "It's about my father. ”
However, before Takeda Haru's words could be spoken, he was interrupted by Takeda Shinshihiro.
"Brother, before that, I want to say a few words. I believe that no matter how much my father favors me, I have never thought of passing my brother to inherit the position of head of the Takeda family!
Therefore, even if you are at odds with your father, please don't take it to heart no matter what. ”
"Xinfan!" Facing his younger brother Takeda Harunobu, who was trying to resolve the conflict between himself and his father, he said very heavily: "Thank you for your kindness, when there is no way to go back to the past between me and my father no matter what!" ”
"Isn't it still a father-son relationship in blood?" Takeda Nobuhiro reluctantly begged again: "Please talk about it, please talk to your father." ”
"Hey~~~, it's too late." Harunobu Takeda sighed and declined his brother's request.
"If this continues, my father will be killed."
"Xinfan, listen up!" Regarding Takeda Nobushi's worries, Takeda Harunobu said loudly: "I will definitely not hurt my father, but for the sake of Kai's father, I must be exiled." ”
"Exile?"
"That's right, exile!" Harunobu Takeda affirmed, "In order to create a new Kai, you must exile your father, but despite this, your father is still your father. ”
Seeing that Takeda Nobu was hesitant, Takeda Harunobu added: "If you think that the act of exiling your father is unfilial and unjust, you can tell your father about it, and I will tell you about it just because I want to tell you my heart." ”
Speaking of this, Takeda Harunobu turned to look at Mt. Fuji high in the distance and shouted, "For Kai, for myself, I must defeat my father." I hope you can understand my unfilial behavior! ”
"Understood." Takeda Nobuyhiro looked at his brother and made a choice with tears in his eyes.
At this time, the Takeda army was in the main formation.
Fan Fu Huchang ran into the big tent and reported: "Lord Qiqi, the carriages and horses are ready." ”
"Hmm~~~" Takeda Shintora, who was discussing in the military, nodded and instructed: "Remember, you must let Harunobu lead the team." ”
"Ha~~~" Rice Fu Huchang immediately took the order and left, and the retainers in the tent exchanged glances with each other thoughtfully.
On the second day, the Takeda army, with Takeda Harunobu as the vanguard, began to rush towards the land of Nirasaki in Kai.
"Be early, be early!" During the march, Takeda Nobuta hurriedly urged the army and beckoned his henchmen and asked, "Hasn't the messenger from Imagawa arrived yet?" ”
"Yes, not yet."
"It's too slow, go and urge it."
"Yes." The henchman rode a fast horse bento and rushed forward first.
However, this scene was clearly seen by Itagaki Nobukata and others, so Itagaki Nobutomi also quietly instructed the Imai military department on the side: "Go to the village in front and catch all the suspicious people who entered before, there must be a messenger from Imagawa who brought the letter to the lord." Listen, be sure to catch the letter before it reaches the lord. Just go! ”
"Yes." Soon, Imai was also riding a fast horse forward. ......
A few days later, one early morning when the Takeda army was rushing to the land of Nirasaki, Kansuke Yamamoto, who had been ordered to deliver the letter, finally ran into Takeda Harunobu.
"Is your name Kansuke Yamamoto?" Harunobu Takeda, who had read Yoshimoto's letter from Imagawa, turned his head and asked Kansuke Yamamoto in front of him.
"Yes."
"Isn't there anything else to say other than what Imagawa-sama said in the letter?"
"There are words from my father-in-law." Kansuke Yamamoto nodded and replied, "That's what the lord said, let Harunobu-sama lead a hundred soldiers to meet the Imagawa retainer Goro Goro. ”
"Is that all?" Takeda Harunobu asked a little unwillingly, which was too perfunctory.
"Yes."
"Didn't you say when and where?"
"Didn't say it!" Kansuke Yamamoto leaned over and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”
"Nope." Takeda Harunobu thought about it and asked Yamamoto Kansuke, "Compared to this, do you really plan to serve me in the future?"
"This is the Lord's order."
"Then, from now on, let's work hard as a common retainer of the two of us!" In the end, Takeda Harunobu still accepted Kansuke Yamamoto, and the retainers who accepted gifts from the other party were sometimes a way to maintain the covenant.
"Yes."
"It's still a long way from Kai!" Harunobu Takeda, who had taken in Kansuke Yamamoto, instructed him, "Before that, find a hiding place to hide!"
"Yes." Yamamoto responded and dissipated in the morning mist.
"Yiyuan, this guy!" Takeda Harunobu looked at Kansuke Yamamoto's back and sighed silently.
