"Suwa? Let him in!"

Sanada Yutaka, who has always been cautious, has been worried about the situation in Suwa after the loss of Sakagaki Nobukata, and at this time, he did not dare to slack off when he heard the report.

Although Hara Huyin and the others said it clearly, they also showed concern, after all, Kai is currently only indirectly controlled by Suwa in the name of Inomaru, and whether the Takeda family can continue to stabilize Suwa after the defeat of Uedahara is a little more variable.

Soon, a disorganized ashigaru rushed in and shouted to everyone, "Your Excellency. Suwa, it's lost!"

"What! What the hell is going on?"

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"

Baba Shinharu, who has always been hot, even grabbed Ashigaru's collar and asked him, and in an instant, this Ashigaru who was already a little tired was trembling and couldn't speak.

"Bababa-sama!"

Sanada Nobutaka was worried about the situation in Suwa, and after drinking the angry Baba Nobuharu, he hurriedly asked Ashigaru, who had just escaped, "What happened to Suwa?" This time, you have no merit, and the main guild will award you a favor afterwards. ”

"Haha."

Although the ashigaru who reported the news was undecided, he still fought hard for the sake of a possible reward, and reported to everyone the changes in Suwa.

It turned out that the Takeda family's governance of Suwa was based on the separation of military and civilian governance, and the civil administration of Suwa was still controlled by the former Suwa ministers led by Inohmaru, while the Takeda family only sent a large army under the command of Sakagaki Nobukata to sit in Uehara Castle.

Previously, the power of the Takeda family was flourishing, and Sakagaki Nobukata was a veteran of the army, so although the two of them, Chida Keiaki and Shimahara Masahiro, who replaced the young lord Inomaru, were dissatisfied, but they were helpless.

However, after the first battle of Uedawara, the two of them saw the hope of reviving the Suwa family, and the Takeda family not only lost their power in this battle, but also lost important ministers such as Sakagaki Nobukata one after another.

Eventually, Chida Keiaki and the others could no longer hold back to visit Omoto and recaptured Uehara Castle in one fell swoop with the support of Murakami Yoshikiyo, while Takato Yoritsugi, who had previously opposed Suwa, re-allied with Suwa because of his hatred of Harunobu, and a defensive circle against Kai was slowly taking shape.

"I'm afraid I have to inform the lord of this matter immediately."

After a period of silence, Sanada Nobutaka, who was worried about the situation in Suwa, couldn't help but say bitterly.

"Let's hold a collegiate meeting." Yuan Huyin, who was also worried, then nodded and proposed, the Takeda family is in trouble this time.

It was with great difficulty that Takeda Harunobu accepted the news reported by the important ministers, as if Takeda's power had fallen back to the era of his father Shintora overnight.

No, maybe it's worse than that, the Takeda family hasn't lost important ministers such as Itagaki Nobukata in the era of the more Shinho. This can't but be said to be a huge blow to Takeda Harunobu, who has always been determined to glorify the Takeda family, after all, the expulsion of his father Shintora by his retainers has always been a thorn in Haruka's faith.

It's all for Kai! For Harunobu Takeda, only Kai becoming stronger in his own hands could give him relief from the shadow of his expulsion from his father. But now ......, this pair of Takeda Harunobu has to doubt themselves.

"Do you have any thoughts on the situation in Suwa?" Haruna Takeda, who was fighting hard, asked the retainers for their opinions.

"Haha." Having become the chief of the family, Lao Yuan Huyin hurriedly got up and replied: "Lord, I think that this family should first stabilize the relationship with Suruga. ”

"Do you think Imagawa is likely to be bad for the family?"

"Lord!" Hara then added to Takeda Harunobu, "Our Kai Kai is surrounded by Shinano and Suruga, and Shintora has fought many wars in these two places in order to expand the power of his family.

Because of this, the wealthy clans of Imagawa and Shinano also had some hatred for their own family, and it was not until a few years ago that Shintora married his daughter Joein to Imagawa Yoshimoto in order to make an all-out attack on Shinano. But now that Dinghuiin has died and Yoshimoto has great ambitions, if he can't renew the alliance, I'm afraid Imagawa will take the opportunity to fall into the ground.

Now that the young master is not married, it is better to marry a princess of Imagawa to the family. ”

"That's it!" After a little consideration, Takeda Harunobu ordered: "Huyin, this matter will be entrusted to you." Tell Yoshimoto that the main hall is willing to use 500 taels of gold as a courtship gift, and this time he must marry the princess of Imagawa for the family. ”

"Haha."

"Sanada-sama." After arranging the courtship, Takeda Harunobu turned to Sanada Yutaka and asked, "Sanada-sama, you have been in Shinano for a long time, and I don't know how you can deal with the current situation in Suwa. ”

"My lord." Sanada Nobutaka, who had been preparing for a long time, hurriedly got up and responded: "Today's Shinano Murakami, Takato, and Suwa are the enemies of their own families, which seem to be menacing, but in fact, they are not to be afraid, these three families have their own purposes, and their strength must not last long."

Although Murakami Yoshikiyo is talented, his ambition is only to become the co-leader of Kita-Shinano, and his previous enemies with his own family are just to prevent his family from getting involved in Kita-Shinano. Now that the Murakami family supports the Suwa family and woos the Takato family, it is just to establish a defensive circle outside of their own home, and even if they pay attention to it, they may not invest too much force.

As for the Suwa family, the current head of the family, Inohmaru, is young, and even if Chida Keiaki and the others have any other thoughts, they are only thinking about protecting the family.

And although the Takato family and the Suwa family originated from the same family, they are also enemies for generations, and Takato Yoriji is bent on seizing the position of the clan, and when necessary, the family only needs to lure them to the advantage, I am afraid that Takato and Suwa will have a lot of twists and turns. ”

"Isn't there a place in the house that needs to be guarded against?" As a traditional samurai, Nobuharu Baba has always been a little unaccustomed to Sanada Nobutaka, who likes strategy, and when he saw that he said Shinano's matter so lightly, he couldn't help but refute it.

"This?" Sanada Nobutaka smiled at Baba Nobuharu's questioning and said, "I thought that after the Shinano clan formed an alliance, they would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack the family, and then the family would be fine as long as their offensive was blocked." ”

"Good!" Takeda Harunobu, who asked about the plan, quickly praised: "Sanada-sama is really worthy of being the conspiracy of the family, so that the family can not be afraid of the alliance of the three Shinano families." ”

"Nobuharu Bababa!" Relieved, Takeda Harunobu even instructed his retainers: "The main hall has appointed you to lead 1,000 ashigaru to sit in Komori Castle to monitor Shinano's movements, and once Shinano changes, you must stick here and wait for the support of the main hall." As for Sanada-sama's main hall, I hope you will return to the small prefecture of the capital immediately, and the wealthy clans of the small prefecture have always taken the Sanada family as the head of the horse, and Sanada-sama will be able to see the opportunity to contain Suwa's movements when he arrives. ”

"Haha." Sanada Nobutaka and Baba Nobuharu also received orders one after another when they were instructed by the lord.

"In this way, the family can have no worries!" Harunobu Takeda, who was agitated in his heart, stood up at once, but unexpectedly, he suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.

Without illness and in the prime of life, Takeda Harunobu fainted silently. This seems unbelievable but it happens, and in another time and space, Harunobu Takeda and his biggest rival Kenshin Uesugi also suddenly encountered an accident at the most unlikely time.

"My lord." When the retainers of Takeda saw their lord fainting, they all shouted forward......
