Chapter Eighty-Three: Scaring Takeda Back
Tokawa Kubo, Miyoshi Yasunaga, and Asano Nagayoshi were ordered to stay on the ship for seven consecutive days.
It corresponds to the original requirement of "bring your own seven-day ration".
Due to the size of the fleet, the Takeda naval army did not dare to fight, and there was no battle along the way, and they were completely unaware of the situation on land, so they received the final notice in a daze and landed on the eastern outskirts of Hamamatsu Castle.
Thousands of people had been in the sea for a long time, and they were very excited about this opportunity, so they hurriedly got off the boat in a lively and lively manner, and formed a little team, Tokawa Kubo faced the Tokugawa retainer Sakai Tadaji who came to greet him, stroked his beloved sword scabbard and said sharply: "Where are the soldiers of the Takeda clan?" This thing is already hungry and thirsty! ”
In fact, when he first heard that he was going to fight against the Fei Army, this young lord was still a little frightened, and the reason did not need to be mentioned - he had a good reputation and had been known for many years, and it was recognized that it was difficult to deal with. But he was casually beaten by the lieutenant general of the prime minister of the tie, and he had no confidence at all.
But after all, he had always held himself to the standards of a traditional martial artist, and it didn't take long for him to overcome that slight fear and instead crave the opportunity to prove his abilities.
In addition, the anger on the ship has been holding back for the past few days, and it is difficult to vent, and it is getting more and more intense.
At this time, Sakai Tadaji appeared in front of him, and the image was that his armor was covered with dust and hidden bloodstains, and his face was tired and unyielding, and he looked like he had just come down from the battlefield.
Immediately, the soul of the samurai of the Ten Rivers Preservation was difficult to contain, and he was eager to immediately compete with the Kai Takeda clan. The question of the strength and weakness of the many is left behind.
And he vaguely felt that maybe there was no need to fight, and it didn't hurt to show off his personal image in a plain manner.
In fact, that impassioned sentence only received a bland response from Sakai Tadaji: "Shikawa Sanuki is really good, but two days ago, Takeda's army has gradually retreated, leaving only the broken rear troops. Of course, you can also pursue it, but it's best to go to the city first and make a decision after discussion. ”
"Retreated?" Hearing this, Shihe Depositor was a little surprised, and immediately nodded in understanding, and muttered: "Sure enough, I am not wrong, this is indeed a plan to knock the mountain and shock the tiger." ”
The oldest Miyoshi Yasunaga sat on the boat for a long time and his legs and feet were slightly uncomfortable, and he was two steps behind late, just when he heard it, he smiled and said: "The prime minister's lieutenant general is strategizing thousands of miles away, and he can scare Takeda away without a sword, which can really be described as a god general!" I didn't fight at all, so I picked up the merits. ”
Over there, Asano Nagayoshi fell last, roughly counted the supplies, handed over to the person in charge of the fleet, and ran over with a puzzled face: "What is the situation now, it seems that there is no need to fight?" ”
Miyoshi Kangchang hurriedly whispered to his ear and explained briefly.
Asano Nagayoshi roughly understood, but shook his head again and again: "No, no, I think it's just that, it's not like the master's handiwork...... There must be some follow-up ......"
He didn't have a head or tail and it was not easy to respond to what he said, so everyone pretended not to hear it, their eyes met, and they decided to go to Hamamatsu Castle to see the specific situation first.
At least meet Tokugawa Ieyasu and hear how he really feels about the battle against Takeda!
But who knows, after entering the city, I only saw Itakura Katsushige in the office, and said: "The lord has gone out of the city to greet the master of the peace, Sakaiden, please bring these three adults to meet together!" ”
Tie the middle of the hand?
This title made Zhujun a little puzzled for a while, and it took him a long time to react, talking about the second generation of Hiraku Yoshimitsu!
What, how did he come too?
Coming so fast?
What's at stake here?
At this moment, the knot in Asano Nagayoshi's heart was unraveled, and he patted his thigh and said, "Sure enough, this is the lord's means!" ”
I don't know if I said it on purpose, or I can't help it.
Hirate Yoshimitsu's identity, it is said that in terms of seniority, official position, and power are not as far as Tokugawa Ieyasu, and there is no need to go out of the city to greet him in person. However, anyone who is not a fool understands the mystery.
Itakura Katsushige pointed the way, Sakai Tadaji was in charge of guiding, and everyone subconsciously accelerated their pace, even running and rushing, and went to the outside of the city to turn.
Elder Sanhaokang's arms and legs clenched his teeth, but he insisted on it, without half a complaint.
I arrived from time to time, and saw that there was already a lot of talk and laughter.
Tokugawa Ieyasu and Yoshimitsu Hirate seemed to be chatting happily, and they were both laughing heartily.
Okubo Tadayo and Kamihara Yasumasa served majestically on the side.
After saluting one by one, Tokugawa Ieyasu stroked his palms and laughed and said, "Fortunately, the prime minister, Lieutenant General, took pity on him and sent reinforcements by land and water. Unexpectedly, Takeda was afraid of a draw like a fear of ghosts and gods, and he actually retreated when he heard the wind! ”
In fact, under the arrangement of his father, Hirate Yoshimitsu had already taken a light car and a simple follow, received 500 personal guards and 1,000 flags, and was ready to do both. If the plan of the suspicious soldier is effective, rush to the front line and preside over the next move. If they fail to scare Takeda as they wish, they will raise enough troops and come slowly.
Now when Tokugawa Ieyasu says this, it seems that he has scared away Takeda Katsuyori by his voice.
Perhaps this is the intention of Hite, but Yoshimitsu himself has an unnatural expression on his face, as if he doesn't like such a vain arrangement of prestige.
He snorted, skipped the topic, and got down to business: "The contemptible people came this time to discuss with the Tokugawa Mikawaden about the change of strategy against Takeda in the future. ”
Tokawa Storage, Miyoshi Yasunaga, Asano Nagayoshi, Sakai Tadaji, Okubo Tadayo and others were all shocked, but Tokugawa Ieyasu remained silent and calmly responded: "I have no grudge against the Kai people, and I have to raise troops to fight only to defend the ancestral homeland and protect the safety of one party." It would be good if there was a choice that would be more conducive to the peace of the world. ”
This is neither humble nor arrogant, expressing obedience to the center, but also emphasizing the appeal to the territorial integrity of one's own country, which can be called polite and courteous.
Yoshimitsu Hirate immediately understood the meaning and said with a smile: "Of course, we will sternly demand that the Takeda clan return the illegally occupied land in Higashimino, Kitamikawa, and Higashienjiang. ”
Hearing this, Okubo Tadashi couldn't help but interject: "Of course, it's good if we can reach a peace like this, but I'm afraid that what I won with swords and guns on the battlefield won't be so simple and sent back between my lips and tongue." ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu was slightly embarrassed for a moment, and scolded him repeatedly, saying that this retainer was rude and rude, and asked the nobles not to care.
Okubo Tadashi immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake, but his face was not apologetic at all.
Yoshimitsu Hirate smiled and waved his hand to show that he didn't care, but said slowly: "My father once taught me a sentence, called 'If you can fight, you can make peace, and if you can fight, you can fight', Okuboden, the truth of the first half of the sentence seems to be understood, but the second half of the sentence is ......" Yoshimitsu stopped speaking, raised his head and got up, took a few steps to the east, and stretched out his hand to point: "I heard that Tsuchiya Shoji led four hundred soldiers, Suruga 1,700, and Enoe 1,200. Let the Takeda family hand over the castles that were obtained by swords. ”
Everyone else in the room, including Tokugawa Ieyasu, was discolored.
Okubo Tadashi, who was kneeling on the ground, had a great reduction in disbelief in his eyes, although he still looked quite skeptical.
Shihe Deposit Insurance doubted: "Lord Pingshou, aren't you a newcomer?" How did you figure out the enemy's disconnection configuration so quickly? Since Tokugawa Mikawa-sama also expressed surprise, it is certainly not through you that you know. Could it be ......?"
Yoshimitsu Hirate laughed, squinted his eyes and shook his head, "It's very likely, it's the 'isn't' you said." ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu trembled, quickly returned to normal, and praised the horse as if nothing happened: "The method of the Tie Family is really fascinating!" I've already knocked on Takeda's door......"
"You can think of it." Yoshimitsu Hirate said: "Actually, my family has no intention of deliberately plotting against the Takeda retainers. Instead, the other side sent someone to try to make a difference! It's just that the final ending is not the same as originally expected...... How about bringing this up again in the future? Let's think about how to deal with the Takeda clan's royal forces! ”
