On the other hand, Kai also ushered in the envoy Taiyuan Xuesai (formerly Taiyuan Chongfu) from Suruga.

"What is my father going to do now?"

Takeda Harunobu asked while checking Imagawa Yoshimoto's letter, "At this time, Suruga must have sent an envoy to threaten him with his father."

"Reizun has been living in Suruga for more than a year and has had a great time, and he has developed a strong interest in the sea of Suruga."

"That's it!" Harumobu Takeda put down the letter and thanked him, "Please convey my sincere thanks to Lord Imagawa, I am very grateful!"

"Yes."

At this time, Takeda Harunobu pointed to the letter in his hand and asked again, "Regarding the fact that my father has no intention of returning to China for the time being written in this letter, please tell Imagawa-sama that I know." ”

"Yes, I know."

"Anyway, my father will cause you a little trouble on your side, so please take care of this."

Hearing this, Taiyuan Xuezhai hurriedly leaned over and said, "How dare you, how dare you." ”

"That's right."

After talking about Takeda Shinto, Takeda Harunobu suddenly asked, "How is your relationship with Hojo-sama now?" ”

"Still no progress! Every now and then there will be some minor friction between the two families. Taiyuan Xuezhai said helplessly.

It is said that Hojo and Imagawa were originally very close in-laws, and both families also had a great kindness to each other to protect the family business, but now they have to turn against each other for the sake of profit.

"Then let's negotiate peace as soon as possible recently!" Takeda Harunobu proposed with concern: "I also have a bit of a friendship with the Hojo family's clan Yasu-sama, so please don't be polite if the Imagawa family needs it." ”

"Thank you very much!" Taiyuan Xuezhai thanked gratefully: "This is also the key to whether we can continue the frontier with Hojo!" ”

"Hahahaha, when it comes to continuing the frontier, isn't it good for us Takeda to have a good relationship with you Imagawa. Hopefully, we can work together and forge a longer friendship. ”

Takeda Harunobu understood the purpose of Taiyuan Xuesai's trip, so he took the opportunity to make a promise of harmony between the two families, after all, it was not suitable to be an enemy of Imagawa at this time.

"Indeed!" Taiyuan Xuezhai also breathed a sigh of relief when he achieved his goal and said: "I hope the friendship between our two families can last forever." ”......

A few more days later, a piece of bad news reached the Kushizaki Museum.

It turned out that Takato Yoritsugu had begun to attack Uehara Castle the night before yesterday in order to capture Suwa, and the people of Suwa were also killed by the tyrannical Takato army.

When Takeda Harunobu learned the news, he was immediately shocked, so he summoned several important ministers such as Sakagaki Nobukata that night to discuss the matter.

"So what's going on in Suwa now?" As soon as he learned about this, Sakagaki Nobutomi couldn't help but be concerned about Suwa's situation.

"Yes." Seeing this, the spy hurriedly replied, "At present, everyone is still defending Uehara City. ”

"Well, thank you for your hard work, you go down!" After sending away the spies, Takeda Harunobu said worriedly: "Takato Yoritsugu, it seems that he often wants to get Suwa!"

"Itagaki!" After thinking about it for a while, Takeda Harunobu opened his mouth and ordered Itagaki Nobukata.

"Yes."

"First of all, I'll take you to Suwa, I'll arrive with the army later. You don't have to worry, Yoriji just wants Suwa, and he won't leave Suwa until then. ”

"My lord." Nobukata Itagaki said, "This incident reminds me of the fact that there have been cases of separate attacks on my family among my family's relatives. ”

"Hmm." Harunobu Takeda nodded, motioning for Nobukata Itagaki to continue.

Seeing this, Nobukata Itagaki continued, "So how about we change the target of the aid from the division to the family?"

Now that the eldest son of the Suwa family, Lord Inohimaru, is in our hands, and if we fight against the Takato family in his name, we will definitely be able to win the hearts and minds of the people of Suwa. ”

"That's right!" Takeda Harunobu said with great joy: "As long as the former ministers of Suwa see the face of Inomaru, they will definitely come to us." ”

"Exactly." Sakagaki Nobukata nodded and replied, "In order to protect the Suwa family, and for the sake of Lord Inomaru, the old ministers of Suwa will definitely be crushed."

As long as we help Omaru-sama succeed the head of the family, Nakako Suwa, the subjects of Suwa will surely welcome us with tears in their eyes.

In this way, we can also win without a fight. ”

"It's a clever idea." Iitomi Huchang, who was discussing the military together, also praised at this time: "In this way, the Suwa people will no longer be our enemies, and the enemy will only be Takato Yoritsugi." ”

So Iitomi Humasa also hurriedly leaned over and asked Takeda Harunobu: "Lord, please be sure to turn Lord Inomaru into our banner!"

"Flags!" Takeda Harunobu said thoughtfully.

At this time, Mrs. Sanjo was listening, and Taro, the eldest son of Takeda Harunobu, was slowly planting a small flag in the location of Suwa on the map screen sent by Shintora.

"Hahahaha, well done, Taro." As soon as Taro planted the flag, Mrs. Sanjo and Yae Hime, who were on the side, clapped their hands for him.

And Mrs. Sanjo even hugged Taro and pointed to the map and said to him, "Suwa has finally become our Takeda's territory!"

Listen, it won't be long before you'll be planting the flag of the Takeda family all over Japan. This is Shinano, this is Suruga, Enoe, and Wamino. Next here is the capital, this is the world!"

"Young master." Yae Ji also taught Taro hand-in-hand at this time and said, "You look at this screen every day."

The young master's mother was born in an extremely noble family in the capital, so the blood shed in the young master's body was also very noble.

One day you will definitely become a member of the world, and then you will take your mother back to the capital. ”

Taro is still at an age where he doesn't know anything, but since his mother and his close Yae Hime have said so, he nodded heavily.

"Hmm." Immediately, Yae Hime said even more happily: "This is your mother's only wish, and Yae I also miss the capital." ”

Saying that, everyone in the room caused homesickness and lowered their heads, but it didn't take long for Yae Ji to suddenly remember something and say, "Ah, speaking of which, princess, Umi no Kou Castle was already the territory of the Takeda family when the previous lord was still there. ”

"Ah, yes!" When Mrs. Sanjo heard this, she also changed her previous frustration and clapped her hands and smiled.

"Quick, young master." Yae Ji also hurriedly said to Taro: "Quickly plant the flag of the Takeda family in the mouth of the sea as well." ”

So Takeda Taro trembled slightly and planted a small flag on the screen, looking as if he was remembering the stone for Takeda Harunobu.
