"This Mr. Yujiro Kudo is the best of the best. Many people say that their means of makeup and disguise are clever, to the point that they are enough to communicate with the gods, but in fact, they are not so magical, and many of them are just false rumors. In this case, in fact, we only mastered a lower-level maid who was doing laundry, and then bought two unknown unknown servants, so we managed to put the wax pill in the pocket of the Tokugawa family's wife...... In this way, the enemy can overestimate our strength and arouse fear. ”

Takeda Katsuyori proudly shared his experience with his close ministers, and when he spoke, the expression of smugness on his face was unobstructed.

Everyone knows that the Takeda family's transwave ninjas are good at forging identities and infiltrating behind enemy lines, but they don't know that what Takeda Shingen values most is actually the ability to spread "fear".

The Sengoku daimyo had different ways of doing things, some hid their strength in order to keep a low profile, some adhered to the righteous name in the hope of gaining political advantage, and the Kai people in the land of the four wars deliberately boasted of their martial prowess to deter potential enemies.

In addition to obtaining information, he used various methods to exaggerate the strength of the Takeda family, and used half-truths and half-truths to penetrate into the hearts of the people, creating a powerful and wise lord who was both benevolent and stern.

In addition to Kai's gold mountain and Akabei's bravery, this subtle soft power is also an important part of the image of "Kai Tiger".

As the current heir, Katsuyori Takeda is clearly learning well.

In the past few days, Katsushi Shibu, who was in charge of intelligence work, has adjusted his mentality and accepted Yujiro Kudo, a new colleague with a competitive relationship, and at this time, after listening to Takeda Katsuyori's boasting, he also stepped forward to compliment: "What the young master said is very true! A wax pellet containing a letter can make some people mistakenly think that we have the ability to take her life, which is really a good way to control people's hearts! In fact, it is much more difficult to poison a noble person than to send a wax pill......"

Hearing this, Takeda Katsuyori chuckled silently with his left hand, very complacent.

On the other side, Nagasaka Mitsuken said thoughtfully: "I remember that when we ambushed the Oda family's army last month, I thought that we should give priority to attacking the people of Mino Province, who were not strong enough to fight, or the people of Owari Province, who were the weakest, but the young master avoided these two teams and went straight to the opponent's main formation...... At that time, I only thought it was a tactic to capture the thief and capture the king first, but now it seems that it is also to make the people of the Oda family afraid of us! ”

Nobutoyo Takeda, who was the most senior, also nodded repeatedly: "I remember that when I first dealt with Echigo Uesugi at that time, it was still called Nagao at that time, the soldiers would be restless when they saw the banner. But after some measures by the lord, now we have more wins and fewer losses against the Shangetsu rear army. ”

His words were actually suspected of sticking gold on his face. Due to the difference in the style of soldiers, the Uesugi family, who are generally good at rushing and fighting, are more feared, while Takeda is willing to meet the enemy only when he stands in position, and he still has weak legs when he sees the Bizi banner in the chaotic battle.

The people here are all the high-level leaders of the Takeda family, no matter what they think in their hearts, they are obviously determined that "the Takeda family has more wins and fewer losses". Although, in reality, it is only often in the field of diplomacy.

After talking and laughing for a while, Takeda Katsuyori couldn't help but boast: "The best thing is that the other party has not yet had full evidence to prove that the secret letter was written by me." ”

"Haha, the secret letter has been passed three times in the last nine days, and there are questions and answers between each other, but the young master's right hand was accidentally cut during the banquet seven days ago, and he couldn't hold a pen at all, which everyone sees." Katsushi Shibe's face showed admiration, "Who would have thought that the young master actually anticipated in advance the topics that might be asked by Okazaki Castle and wrote a response in advance?" ”

Nagasaka Mitsuken felt unimpressed: "In fact, my subordinates feel that this is too deliberate, and it may make people suspicious." After all, with such force, the young master accidentally cut himself with a knife, which is really ......"

This person's style of behavior is like this, no matter whether the other party wants to listen or not, he must say what he really thinks in his heart, and he doesn't know if he offends people.

Takeda Katsuyori knew that this was an old problem that could not be changed, but he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Although the second generation of Jia Fei is quite talented in civil and military affairs, he is not very broad-minded, and his temperament is also impatient and outgoing, and his face immediately sank.

"Ahem!" Takeda Nobutoyo saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly played a round: "Anyway, the last news was given fifteen hours ago, counting the days, it should be about ...... on the side of Okazaki City."

As soon as the words fell, the attendant came to report that Yujiro Kudo was back.

Takeda Nobutoshi said casually, but it was just right.

Everyone's attention immediately turned to business, and the unpleasantness just now was only seen.

……

"Let's take a look at what the Tokugawa family has said."

Carefully, I opened the small crumpled piece of paper that had been wrapped around several times, and spread it out to see—

At the beginning of the chapter, the Tokugawa family's Tsukiyamaden said: "The Takeda family's Tokuba really lives up to its name. Unfortunately, at this critical juncture, in order to ensure safety, we are preparing to replace and review the guards and servants of Okazaki Castle, and we ask that your people pay a little attention, otherwise it will be embarrassing to accidentally dispose of them as suspicious characters. ”

Seeing that the others hadn't reacted yet, Takeda Katsuyori stroked his palm and smiled: "Haha! Such a bluff just shows that this woman has shown her timidity! There is no doubt that her emotions will be transmitted to Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Ishikawa Shumasa, and I am now 50% convinced that Okazaki Castle will indeed be subdued. ”

In this regard, the three close ministers all agreed.

Next, Tsukiyamaden expressed minimal approval of the plan to "let the Tokugawa army forge their identities to attack the Shokei headquarters in Yamaguchi", and at the same time raised a lot of concerns and questions.

This is all expected, and Takeda Katsuyori has already prepared a series of mortgages and promises to convince the other party.

As for whether these promises and mortgages will be fulfilled, it will depend on the military strength of Mikawa.

If all goes well, they will of course be able to successfully surprise the unprepared Yamaguchi Division, but it is difficult to say what will happen to the nearby Takasaka Masanobu Headquarters soon after they come to their aid, and the Tokugawa Army, although it is in the lead, will be flanked by the superior forces of the Takeda side.

Takeda Katsuyori didn't find it tricky because of the strong defensive mood that Tsukiyamaden showed between the lines.

On the contrary, he was happy about it.

The suspect is the buyer, and the nervous and cautious psychology of building the mountain hall is exactly the normal state before the person who is short of equipment is ready to do big things.

Just like a clever liar is never afraid of you questioning him for no reason, because it is not difficult to transform unfounded doubts into unfounded trust, and people's desires and emotions are easy to guide.

Takeda Katsuyori was full of spring breeze, and swept most of the text in three or two, but when he saw the last paragraph, he frowned and felt a little weird.

At this time, none of the three retainers had read that way.

Takeda Katsuyori ignored them, as if he had forgotten what he had just said, "Let's take a look", and subconsciously grabbed the paper in his hand and stood up.

Of course, the retainers will not protest for this.

“…… Of course, the two sides are supporting each other and needing each other, maybe in a few days you will need our troops from Okazaki Castle? Your military strength is far away in Cheongju City, and if there is an accident in Sanhe or any other place further east, I am afraid that I will not be able to solve it in the first place......"

Takeda Katsuyori muttered to himself, repeating the words written by Tsukiyamaden, and his face showed doubt: "This passage is a bit strange, it is not quite the same as the previous style. If it is a trick, this woman should be described in a more ethereal way, rather than so explicit...... Is she hinting at something? ”

The three close ministers looked at each other and couldn't interject.

After pacing and hesitating for a while, Takeda Katsuyori seemed to think of something, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he turned his head sideways to Katsushi and said, "In the last five days, how much military information has been received from the direction of Mikawa?" Did you mention anything about it? Or is there something weird between the lines? ”

"This ......" Katsushi Kibe thought for a moment and shook his head decisively, "There is no mention of any accidents in the letter, on the contrary, I remember that Takasaka-sama also deliberately said that everything is as usual, don't worry, even if there is any abnormality in Mikawa, it is under control, and we don't need to return from Cheongju Castle to help...... I don't think it's necessary to show you this letter, so I'll ......"

"With Takasaka's cautious character, it's not surprising that he mixes nonsense in the military situation......" Takeda Katsuyori relaxed a little, but then tensed up again: "Just in case, let's find that letter and take a look!" ”

Traces of the Department of Victory took the order and left.

At this moment, Nagasaka Guangjian suddenly had an idea, and said: "Young master, if you talk about accidents, there is one thing here under your subordinates. Earlier today, I had just heard from grain merchants that the price of grain in the eastern part of Kinai had suddenly fallen two days earlier, much to the disappointment of speculators who had mistaken the idea that the war would be protracted and that they had stockpiled grain...... However, ordinary businessmen do not know the reason for the drop in grain prices, and they only vaguely hear that it is related to Kaimachi......"

Takeda Katsuyori nodded heavily, then turned to Takeda Nobutoyo and asked, "Is the recent movement of the Tie and Oda Army the same as a few days ago?" ”

"Yes." Takeda Nobutoyo replied without hesitation, "They bypassed a few strongholds that we were stationing and sent many troops behind Cheongju Castle, vaguely encircling us, and attacking our supply lines, as if they wanted to swallow up our troops in Cheongju Castle...... But there was plenty of food in the city, and there was no point in being trapped for a long time, and the lord's army was not coming soon, so it would be a situation where the inside and the outside should be combined, so it was difficult for me to understand the other party's thinking. Oda is not enough, the Heteite Punishment Department has always been known as a wise general......"

"Maybe it's because they know something I don't know." Takeda Katsuyori's tone suddenly turned cold.

Mitsuken Nagasaka and Nobutoyo Takeda were stunned.

In a moment, Katsushi Mobe had already brought the letter he had just mentioned.

Takeda Katsuyori was impatient, took it with both hands, looked at it carefully, and suddenly changed color, and shouted: "This book is very similar to Takasaka's handwriting, but if you look closely, I'm afraid it's a forgery!" There are also some ambiguities between the seal and the painting...... Wrong! There must be some kind of trap in it! Yuanjiang ...... There is no news from Yuanjiang? Father, where is it ......?"
