"I've heard from my retainers that what the people are doing today is really extraordinary! Zhengqi combined, unexpectedly, and defeated the Takeda family tree generation fierce general Asari Masakae in one fell swoop, which was so powerful that it deserved to be the long-famous trio. ”

"Shame, shame...... The old man saw the heroic appearance of Mikawa Okazaki with his own eyes, obviously there were fewer people, but they were all as brave as tigers, and the Suganuma clan, who fought against him, was defeated and retreated, and Tokugawa-sama had a son so that he could live in peace in Yuanjiang. ”

……

When Hirate approached, he saw that Inaba Kazutetsu and Tokugawa Nobuyasu were engaged in a friendly "business blow", and Oda Nobutada forcibly endured his contempt and impatience, and reluctantly put on a "business smile", hoping to pretend to be a commander and unpredictable.

"Ah, the Punishment Department is here."

"Master of the Criminal Department!"

"The command of the Lord of the Criminal Department is also ...... today"

Seeing that he was about to continue to blow embarrassedly, Tieshou Fan Xiu hurriedly waved his hand to stop:

"Wait! Your great achievements are naturally worthy of praise and display, but before that, can anyone tell me how much you will be able to win the head of the enemy army after today's fierce battle? ”

……

Suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Inaba Ichitetsu smiled but did not speak, and Tokugawa Nobuyasu was slightly timid.

Seeing this, he asked again: "Or, did you kill some well-known general of the Takeda family?" ”

……

The silence continued.

Inaba Ichitetsu bowed slightly, and Tokugawa Nobuyasu's face stiffened.

So he asked, "I don't know ...... How much damage did each of our coalition families have? ”

……

Still silent.

The rice leaves are iron-clad and look at the sky, and Tokugawa Nobuyasu has a red face and red ears.

Then the expression of the tie was unchanged, and then asked: "Can you analyze how many blows have been dealt to the combat power of the Takeda Army in today's joint battle?" And how much damage has been inflicted on the combat strength of our army? ”

"Ahaha......"

Inaba's iron neck is higher - at his age, he doesn't look bothered by cervical spondylosis, and his movements and postures are still very flexible.

"Huh...... Humph......"

Tokugawa Nobuyasu opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say, and only uttered meaningless syllables, with his tiger's back and bear's waist, it was very self-consistent inside and outside.

The atmosphere was quite awkward for a while.

After all, Inaba Yitetsu is still a straightforward and impatient general, and he is not used to the long-sleeved dancing of Wen Crepe. If Mamoru Ando had been present, he would never have been so easily suffocated, but unfortunately the latter was questioned about "passive avoidance of war", and his reputation was greatly damaged, so it was not appropriate to come forward for the time being.

Tokugawa Nobuyasu is even more young and ignorant, and there are too few twists and turns in his heart, and he can't open his eyes and say nonsense, but he really feels that he is at a loss when he listens to it. His teacher, Ishikawa Shumasa, is good at this, but he has other things on his mind, and he doesn't have time to take care of too many distractions.

"Poof......" At this time, Oda Nobutada couldn't hold back his laughter, and his face was full of schadenfreude that he tried his best to hide but couldn't hide it, and then immediately straightened his expression, solemnly bowed to Hirata Tsunoshi, and said, "Lord of the Criminal Department! The retainers below roughly calculated that the Takeda family should have been killed in battle today at more than 500, and the wounded are difficult to estimate, and the dead of our army are close to 600, and more than 1,400 are wounded. As for the Tokugawa family's Okazaki side, I don't know ...... yet."

"About two or three hundred people were lost on each side, and there were no samurai above the rank of ashigaru." Tokugawa Nobuyasu responded in a muffled voice.

After a day of lively fighting, in fact, the total number of dead on all fronts on both sides was less than 1,500. The reason was that although the Takeda Army was defeated, it was not chaotic and steadily retreated back, without giving the coalition forces a chance to pursue.

As everyone knows, in a joint battle, when chasing and defeating the enemy, it is the best opportunity to annihilate the opponent's living force and hunt the head of the general.

Thinking about it this way, the mutual flattery between Inaba Istetsu and Tokugawa Nobuyasu just now seems a little ridiculous.

Seeing this, Hisho Tsusuhide deliberately excused himself and said: "Don't mention anything else, as far as I can see, at least the Okuhira of the Higashimikawa Okuhei family, and the fierce general of the Kai spectrum, Tsuchiya Masatsune, both of them were killed." Coupled with the fact that the Takeda Army was forced to withdraw from Nishimikawa, this battle was undoubtedly won by our side. ”

However, Oda Nobutada shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that even if I win, I will still lose." Today, Owari, Mino, and Mikawa are united, with more than 20,000 people, and on the opposite side are the Takasaka team, the remnants of Yamaguchi, and the new countrymen, and the main force of the Takeda family has not yet arrived, and we have lost a lot of vitality......"

Speaking of which, Tieshou Tsutsu gradually felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Oda Nobutada, who was supposed to resolutely resist Takeda, took the initiative to express pessimism.

And Tokugawa Nobuyasu, who fornicated with Takeda Katsuyori, only cared about the rice leaves and one iron of one acre and three points of land, but advocated victory.

Isn't that the other way around?

Suddenly, Oda Nobutada said again: "Lord of the Tie Punishment Department! Having just received news from the rear, Natakeda Katsuyori was under Gifu Castle, and sure enough, he just burned and plundered, and then quickly retreated, presumably by turning back east via Minami Shinano, heading to Enoe or Suruga. You were right! At present, Takeda Katsuyori is indeed deliberately attracting me to return to defense, and two days ago, the Takasaka Division, Suganuma, and Okuhei, who were supposed to be stationed in Higashi-Mikawa, quietly came to Nishi-Mikawa, maybe they are preparing to follow and pursue! Fortunately, Lord Nobuyasu successfully raided the prefecture from Okazaki and broke the conspiracy. Alas! It's a pity that our army is tired today, and your army is pinned down by the traitor Mizuno Nobumoto, and there is no time to intercept Takeda Katsuyori! ”

Hearing this, he smiled and gestured.

It's just that I'm getting more and more puzzled.

Cheongju was recovered, Mino was unharmed, and the front line was considered a small victory, why did Oda Nobutada's tone sound so depressed and worried?

Then Tokugawa Nobuyasu spoke: "It just so happens that the Lord of the Criminal Department has come, and there is something I want to ask for advice - the contemptible people think that the current situation is enough to propose peace to the Kai people. For the time being, it is recognized that the two counties in the east of Mino, the two counties in the north of the Mihe River, and the five counties in the northeast of the Yuanjiang River belong to Takeda. ”

Inaba Ichitetsu beside him was noncommittal, but he obviously had no intention of objecting.

And Oda Nobutada was obviously against it, but there was no surprise or anger, just a cloud of sadness and bitterness, which shows that Tokugawa Nobuyasu had already told him about it.

Looking at it again, Ikeda, Sasa, Maeda and other generals were not around, and I don't know if it was injured or what's going on, Oda Nobutada seemed to be in a state of isolation.

After a little thought, it dawned on me.

Tokugawa Nobuyasu's proposal is very tasteful, and it is by no means something that a stunned young man can think of.

First of all, this plan can make Tokugawa Ieyasu, who sits in Hamamatsu Castle in Toe Province, embarrassed - if you lose five prefectures, you will lose two-thirds of Ene Province! Tokugawa Nobuyasu, who lived in Okazaki Castle and managed Mikawa's affairs, suffered only a quarter of his strength. There will be a subtle reversal of the paternity relationship. Outsiders can't say that there is a problem with this cession plan, because it is true that more than two-thirds of the Enoe is occupied by the Takeda family, and on the Mikawa side, today's Yama Prefecture and Takasaka are far away, which means that a large number of areas can be easily recovered.

Secondly, Tokugawa Ieyasu must resolutely resist the matter of peace, and Oda Nobutada is not happy, but it may not be impossible to do so! Because Tokugawa Ieyasu was besieged in Hamamatsu Castle, it was difficult to get in touch, and every time he had to send ninjas to risk their lives to deliver the message. Oda Nobutada's displeasure is not too high. And on the side of the retainers, they are tired of fighting for a long time, and the voice of hoping for peace has always been very loud! If you manipulate public opinion and create established facts, the two heads of the family will not be able to control it.

The best thing is that with this public proposal to "negotiate peace", the previous incident of Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Takeda Katsuyori hooking up can be interpreted as "preparing for peace". And the clues found by Tieshou Fanxiu are not enough to threaten him.

It's so cunning, I don't know if it was Tsukiyamaden or Ishikawa Shumasa who came up with it. It's definitely not the kid Tokugawa Nobuyasu's intention.

Anyway, how did they hook up and eat inside and out? It's just a mountain hall.,Isn't Ishikawa Shumasa the legendary general Junchen? Could it be that he was pajamased?

- Tie Tsutsu Xiu has no lack of malicious thoughts.

Therefore, just now, Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Inaba Ittetsu touted each other, and the subtext was "If you have achieved a certain victory today, you can take advantage of the situation to ask for peace." ”

Oda Nobutada's pessimistic attitude implies that "the Takeda family still has a big advantage and will not easily accept peace."

That's to be expected.

Oda Nobutada's prestige was insufficient, and he could only try to make the enemy as terrifying and ruthless as possible, so that he could rely on the fear of his retainers for Takeda to unify his command.

"If this can be done, I will ask the Lord of the Punishment Department to be a witness to the exchange of affidavit. As a result, everyone in the world will know that the recapture of Cheongju, the defeat of Yama County, Takasaka, the resumption of the three rivers of Kexi, and the strike of Takeda all depend on the power of the Tie Punishment Department. In the past, your momentum should be on par with Takeda's diet. ”

Tokugawa Nobuyasu threw the bait at the draw.

His words were a bit blunt, obviously an endorsement, but he didn't understand the detailed meaning in it.

However, the direction is still right, and it hits the key point of the tie show in order to "earn fame".

Since you want to be famous, wouldn't it be mutually satisfying to let you get your name?

However, the person who came up with this idea did not know that what Hirate wanted was not "on par with Takeda Daizen", but the prestige of "defeating Takeda Daizen"!

If he hadn't been convinced that Takeda Shingenjugen was near, he wouldn't have been so confident that he would have led his army to the Owari front!

Pingshou Tsunoshu thought so in his heart, but he frowned and said sharply: "You must know that Takeda Daizen's westward march is to raise the banner of the former Guan Bai Konoe Qianjiugong and the orphan of the previous general Yoshiki, with the intention of deposing the current Gongfang Lord!" If you want to make peace with him, will it not be tantamount to joining the rebellion and betraying the righteous and righteous people? ”

As soon as these words came out, Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Inaba Ichitetsu were stunned, while Oda Nobutada's face was happy.

The "name of righteousness" is a wonderful thing, sometimes it is useless at all, and sometimes it is very useful. At this moment, the tie hand took out this stubble, and the seriousness of the topic was greatly strengthened, and no one dared to express his position easily.

Then Hijo said again: "Supporting the righteous Zhao Gong Shangluo is the greatest achievement of Danmasa-sama (Oda) before he lived in seclusion. If I turn my back on righteousness, what face will I have to meet Lord Danzheng? Everyone, if you have a different position, don't force it, you can go to Takeda to play on your own! I will not stand in the way today! However, in the future, on the battlefield, I will not leave room for the sake of old acquaintances. Ladies and gentlemen, don't be unpredictable! ”
