Chapter 236 Prelude
"Well, in that case, I'll give the two of them the same answer!"
"Lord Qi, Yamamoto Kansuke asks to see."
Just when Imagawa Yoshimoto made up his mind how to reply to the requests of Takeda Shintora and Takeda Harunobu, Kansuke Yamamoto, a spy sent to Kai by the Imagawa family, also returned.
"Oh~~~" Imagawa Yoshimoto immediately said with great joy: "I can take the opportunity to inquire about the situation of Kai." ”......
Moments later, Imagawa Yoshimoto met with Kansuke Yamamoto alone in the side hall.
"Kansuke, how is this person Harushin Takeda?" As soon as they met, Imagawa Yoshimoto directly asked about Takeda Harunobu's condition, although Takeda Shintora always said that he was a coward, but how could such a person be stupid to such a role.
"Ha, I think he's a smart guy." Kansuke Yamamoto replied without thinking.
"Smart people?" Imagawa Yoshimoto pondered and asked, "What kind of smart person is he?" ”
"He is a thoughtful person, not arrogant at all, and stoic."
"So!" Imagawa Yoshimoto came forward and asked, "Have you ever seen a time when Harunobu Takeda was unhappy?" ”
"Nope!" Kansuke Yamamoto quickly denied this: "Harunobu-sama is a righteous person, there is no need to doubt this. ”
"Do you think he'll one day be our Suruga's enemy?"
"It may also become our strong and promising friends." Kansuke Yamamoto said noncommittally, but there was no doubt that he admired Takeda Harunobu.
"Hahahaha." Imagawa Yoshimoto sighed with a sneer: "Even if you are a friend, you can't help but be considered a supposed enemy. ”
A few days later, Kai, Akizaki Pavilion.
In the assessment room, Takeda Shintora was arranging for Shinano at this time.
"Tomorrow, we will set out to attack Umino Tsusuna in the small prefecture. The pioneer is Mino Shouyuan Huyin!"
"Yes, thank you, Lord."
"The rear army is the military department, the young assistant, the rice is rich and the tiger is chang."
"Yes."
"The left guard is Suruga Morisakagaki Nobukata."
"Yes."
"The right guard is the front guard Ganli Hutai."
"Yes."
"Qingxin, you lead your troops to protect the side nearby."
"Yes."
This is Takeda Nobuta's camp attacking the retainers of the small prefecture, but Takeda Nobuta, who is planning to exile his eldest son, does not know that these people have already fallen to the young lord Takeda Harunobu.
Soon after, Harunobu Takeda, dressed in armor, went to bid farewell to his mother, Mrs. Oi.
"Soon, we're heading for the small county."
"Proceed with caution!" Mrs. Oi looked at her eldest son and said with concern.
"When I come back, I will definitely honor you, please wait." As he spoke, Takeda Harunobu bowed down to Mrs. Oi.
"I wish you good luck and prosperity!"
"So!" Harunobu Takeda, who had received his mother's blessing, got up and wanted to leave.
"Harunobu!" However, Mrs. Oi suddenly stopped her eldest son and asked, "I have something to tell you, what the lord said the night before was not all a lie. The lord followed my father because he was afraid of him, and he gave me to him as compensation. The lord is just sick with his heart, you can watch it!"
As a mother and wife, Mrs. Oi is well aware of the irreconcilable relationship between father and son, and as a mother, she can only choose to reduce her son's concerns.
"Yes." Takeda Harunobu glanced deeply at his mother and set off with the army.
Takeda, Suwa, and Murakami coalition forces.
This attack on the small prefecture was not only Takeda Shintora but also Suwa Yorishige of Suwa and Kitanobu Shogun Murakami Yoshikiyo, while the small prefecture side of the war was led by a multi-party alliance of wealthy clans led by Umino Totsuna, including Ashida Castle, Oyayama Castle, Umino Castle, Nezu Castle and Yazawa Castle. Since the beginning of the battle, the two sides have faced each other, and they have been in a stalemate on both sides of Ashida Castle, and on this day, heavy rain suddenly occurred, and Takeda Nobuta decided to lead the rear army to temporarily return to the military formation and wait for news.
"Mino Hara-sama has arrived." Just as everyone was discussing, the striker Yuan Huyin returned to the formation.
"I'm back from Ashida Castle."
"Have you taken it?" Takeda Shintora immediately asked eagerly.
"Ha, Suwa's strikers have taken the castle."
"Oh~~~, the striker of Suwa!" Takeda Nobuta suddenly sighed and said: "Suwa-sama and Imagawa-sama are both good sons-in-law, and the two daughters are worth marrying!"
However, after drinking a glass of wine to congratulate, Takeda Shinhu suddenly instructed Takeda Harunobu next to him: "Harunobu, go and get some wine!"
"Huh."
Takeda Harunobu got up with two attendants and wanted to go, but Takeda Shinhu suddenly said, "Let Harunobu go alone!"
This scene was clearly seen by the retainers of Kai, and it seemed that the lord was indeed very disgusted with the young master, so that night Sakagaki Nobukata and others held a secret meeting in private.
"Something is wrong!" Iifu Huchang said to everyone very worriedly: "The young master has been monitored, and there have been changes in the conduct of the people. ”
"Watched?" Gan Li Hutai asked in disbelief.
At this time, Sakagaki Nobukata took over the conversation and sighed: "The lord has already taken the lead!"
"Exactly." Iitomi Humasa continued to whisper: "Just now, in the middle of this camp, after hearing the news that the Suwa army had captured Ashida Castle, the lord said this: 'Suwa-sama and Imagawa-sama are both good sons-in-law, and the two daughters are worth marrying. ’”
"That's a problem!" Sakagaki Nobu analyzed to everyone: "If Imagawa-sama also agrees with the lord, it will not be good. Although Lord Imagawa Yoshimoto has secretly agreed to stand on the same side as the young lord to receive the lord, if the lord also asks Imagawa, I don't know which side Lord Imagawa Yoshimoto will fall towards!"
"So what should we think?" Iitomi Huchang asked Nobukata Sakagaki for instructions.
"Don't behave in a conspicuous way, just wait for news from Imagawa. But it's not unscrupulous about the movements of the people!"
"Yes." Fan Fu Huchang answered and got up and left.
"What kind of medicine is sold in Imagawa Yoshimoto's gourd?" After Iifu Huchang left, Sakagaki Nobukata drank a glass of wine and guessed to Ganli Hutai on the side.
At this time, Sunfu Castle and Imagawa Yoshimoto were also closely watching Kai's movements this time.
"Blood relationship is incredible!" Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled while playing with the shell: "Father to son, son to father, although they both want to calculate each other, but together in this small county war, they closed like this shell." Although they hate each other, they think about the same thing, after all, they are the father and son of the Fei monkey! Let's see who wins. ”
"I'm so sorry, I have something to say." Compared with Imagawa Yoshimoto, Taiyuan Chongfu said with some concern: "In this war between father and son, is it appropriate for us to watch the fire from across the strait like this?"
"We can't work with losers in the struggle!" Shou Guini took over the conversation and said, "The Hojo family has a lesson from the past! Don't meddle in the father-son war, and don't ignore Miss Sanjo too much. In this way, Yoshimoto can grasp the power of the world and not become an enemy of Kyoto too early. ”
