Kai country, Hesaki Pavilion.

Takeda Harunobu did not occupy Kai Castle after breaking through Uminoguchi Castle with the help of auxiliary officer Nobukata Sakagaki and returned to Kai with only 300 soldiers.

"The young master is prosperous! Young Lord Wu Daolong. At this time, the news of Takeda Harunobu's attack on Uminoguchi Castle had spread throughout the Kushizaki Pavilion before the return of the army, and the retainers thought that someone would succeed the lord, so they spontaneously divided into two columns and knelt at the gate to welcome the army's victorious return.

I saw that at this time, Takeda Harunobu walked among the crowd with his whole armor and a horse, and the auxiliary officer Sakagaki Nobukata and the 300 Koshu soldiers who accompanied him in the battle followed closely behind, which was really majestic.

In the face of the greetings of the retainers, Takeda Harunobu was also colorless, with a calm image, and the retainers of the Takeda family were even more emotional when they saw it, and they all bowed their heads and did not dare to look at each other.

The retainers' admiration for Takeda Harumobu was naturally in his eyes, but it was no wonder that after all, he only needed 300 soldiers to capture the castle that his father could not capture with 8,000 troops. Takeda Harunobu was naturally proud of the recognition and admiration of his retainers, but he wanted to be appreciated and recognized by another person more than these, so after getting off the horse, Takeda Harunobu took the auxiliary servant Sakagaki Nobukata to his father Shintora's apartment.

"Taro, it's been a great job!" When Takeda Harunobu walked through the verandah, his mother Oi Noshikata also brought the daughter of the family and his younger siblings to welcome him back victoriously, and his mother Oi Nobu looked at his eldest son Taro Harumobu Takeda with great comfort.

Seeing his mother, Harumobu Takeda, was also stunned for a moment, but after a pause and nodded, he continued to rush to his father Shintora's residence, and now he couldn't wait to show his exploits.

In the courtyard of Takeda Shintora's room.

When Takeda Harunobu reported his exploits to Takeda Shinhu with a little pride, Takeda Shinhu suddenly slapped him with a "snap", and Takeda Harunobu was caught off guard and was immediately slapped to the ground by Takeda Shinto.

"Bastard! Who got you back? If you have captured the city, you should occupy it, so why give up the land you have worked so hard to conquer?"

"Lord Qi, young master, he ......" to meet Takeda Shinhu Sakagaki Nobukata Seeing this, he hurriedly knelt down to confess for Takeda Harunobu, but as soon as he said it, he was rudely interrupted by Takeda Shinhu at the beginning.

"Shut up, I'm not asking you."

Instead, Takeda Shintora questioned Takeda Harunobu, who was also kneeling on the ground, and said, "Harunobu! You say, what's going on? Just send a messenger to inform you of the fall of the city, and you are in the city to guard against the enemy army and wait for your family to take over the city, this is what a general should do! And you gave up the city you had worked so hard to conquer and fled, and a coward like you is not worthy of inheriting the Takeda family at all. No, you don't even deserve Takeda's family name!"

"What!"

Takeda Harunobu and Sakagaki Nobugata were taken aback, and Takeda Haruka, who thought they would be appreciated, looked directly at their father and said, "I'm not a coward!" I didn't run back either!"

"Pet~~~" Takeda Shintora didn't expect the eldest son to contradict him, so he immediately glared at him and said, "Then why are you here now?"

"I didn't quit the army because I was afraid, I quit the army on my own initiative."

"What do you say! What nonsense are you talking about!" The eldest son's answer made Takeda Shintora feel ridiculous.

However, Takeda Harunobu still said without flinching: "Sun Tzuri: Soldiers are expensive to win, not expensive for long. Sun Tzu also said that a long war is absolutely not good for the country. ”

"Soldiers are expensive, not long. You can really say that!" Takeda Shintora was immediately annoyed. From the moment he became the head of the family, he fought everywhere for the unification of Kai, and Takeda Harunobu's rebuttal made him think that he was satirizing himself, which was unacceptable to Takeda Shintora, who had always been authoritarian.

"Bastard!" Annoyed and angry, Takeda Nobuta pointed to his eldest son, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked again, "Do you know what you're talking about?" Are you laughing at your father?"

"Sun Tzu said: Soldiers are expensive, but they are not expensive for a long time."

"Sun Tzu said: Soldiers are expensive, but they are not expensive for a long time."

"Sun Tzu said: Soldiers are expensive, but they are not expensive for a long time."

Facing the approach of his father Takeda Shintora, Takeda Harunobu repeated his grandson's words over and over again, and the tone was getting higher and higher, and this scene was seen by the surrounding retainers.

The auxiliary servant Sakagaki Nobukata couldn't stand it at this time, and hurriedly and eagerly advised Takeda Harunobu: "Young master, although you and the lord are father and son, they are also the main ministers, so please pay attention to the proportions when you speak." ”

However, Takeda Harunobu didn't listen to anything at this time, turned around and left, and this scene of the separation of father and son happened to be seen by everyone.

After Takeda Harunobu left angrily, he rode with a few attendants to a temple outside the Kusakikan, where the woman of the Hiraga family, whom he had rescued, was placed to recuperate. Somehow Harunobu Takeda, who was in a bad mood, was looking forward to meeting the girl, but the girl opened her eyes and looked at him, but suddenly closed her eyes. Is this hatred or reassurance? Harunobu Takeda looked at the girl with her eyes closed.

On the other hand, after Takeda Harunobu left, the Takeda Shintokan was not calm, and he was angry that his eldest son dared to disobey him, so he quickly gathered all the retainers.

Takeda Shintora, who has always regarded himself as a strongman, even confessed to his retainers with some grievances at this time: "I have been fighting for my family since I was fourteen years old, and I have lost many relatives and retainers during this period. It took 24 years to bring this Feiji country into the hands of the Takeda family, but now there are still many local wealthy families who are disobedient to their families, making outsiders think that our Kai is still divided.

In addition, Jiafei is a poor mountain country, the land is barren and cannot be cultivated, even minerals and special products are scarce, natural disasters are constant, and there are not many people. Imagawa and Hojo in the south, and Shinano in the north also invaded the family from time to time. We have no way back now, and we can only survive by constantly fighting to seize fertile land! Isn't this the only way out for Kai?

Otherwise, Kai will sooner or later be annexed by Imagawa and Hojo, but why do some of you, including my eldest son, Harunobu, think that the war should be stopped?"

Ganli Hutai, who didn't want to end his words, as one of the wealthy families, immediately got up and said: "I'm panicking, and I have something to report." ”

Seeing that Takeda Shintora did not object to Gan Li Hutai, he boldly said: "All our retainers will not hesitate to die even if they die for Kai, but not only the main family but also the retainers have suffered heavy losses in successive battles. Therefore, please take a temporary truce to let the family recuperate and accumulate strength, please. ”

Immediately, Gan Li Hutai bowed solemnly, and the other retainers who felt this also pondered.
