Chapter 316: Deliberation and Confrontation
Sabei glanced at Lin Xiuzhen, who came in from outside, and then gestured to Yasumasa Kamihara, who was looking inside the house. Seeing this, Yasumasa Kamihara immediately bowed his head in return, and then bowed his head and slowly closed the door of the house.
Sabei watched as the sunlight that penetrated the house was gradually swallowed by the door, and after the door completely swallowed up the blazing sunlight, he set his eyes on Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was waving a folding fan to remove the heat.
After the door of the house was completely closed by Yasumasa Kamihara, Tokugawa Ieyasu snapped, and then said to the only seven people in the house: "The Takeda Army is acting strangely today, and he gave us Makinohara's Castle for no reason, and there must be a plot in this!" ”
After speaking, Tokugawa Ieyasu asked Okubo Tadashi on his right, "Shichirou, what do you think of the Takeda Army's trip?" ”
When Okubo Tadashi heard this, he immediately bowed his head to Tokugawa Ieyasu and said: "My lord, now the Takeda army is gathered in Sunfu Castle, but there is no intention of going west to fight with our army. If this is to lure the coalition forces into Suruga Ohara, Takeda Katsuyori will inevitably despise our coalition forces too much, and the tactics used are too shoddy, as if they were defeated in Higashimino with thousands of people and more than 10,000 Oda families..."
"Ahem... What Shichiro said is reasonable, I wonder what you think of Takeda Katsuyori's plan? Sakai Tadaji interrupted Okubo Tadashi at the right time, and took the opportunity to throw questions to Oda Sansho, who was already a little ugly.
After listening to Sakai Tadaji's words, Sakuma Nobumori first greeted Tokugawa Ieyasu's head, and then slowly spoke: "I didn't fight much with Takeda Katsuyori, and in comparison, Sabei talked about Takeda Katsuyori many times in Gifu Castle with the lord and the important ministers of the main family. ”
After hearing Sakuma Nobumori's words, the gloomy Sabei raised his head and gestured to Tokugawa Ieyasu and Sakai Tadaji, and then said to Okubo Tadashi, who was sitting opposite: "What Okubo-sama said is biased, and if you want to be friends with others, you must observe and make up your mind. ”
Speaking of emotion, Sabei even burst out in Chinese. But seeing everyone's serious and somewhat confused looks, he immediately spoke loudly to everyone about the leopard in the tube.
After Tokugawa Ieyasu listened to Sabei's words, he immediately walked down from the top, walked in front of Sabei, bowed his head and said to Sabei: "Shichiro Right lost his words for a while, and he had no intention of rushing into the Shintadaden, and I hope that Sabei can forgive Shichiro Right on behalf of Shintadaden!" ”
Sakuma Nobumori didn't dare to speak when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized that Sabei was a member of his family, the sister-in-law of the young master, and a close friend of the young master; There are even rumors that Ming Wei Xuanxin is the young master, although Sakuma Nobumori has never believed such rumors, but the friendship between the two cannot be questioned. Thinking of this, Sakuma Nobumori glanced at Lin Xiuzhen on the side, and after seeing Lin Xiuzhen again, he also had an indignant face, and instantly decided his position.
Hearing this, Sabei also bowed his head and said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Although I am the sister-in-law and close friend of the young master, I can't make a decision on behalf of the young master, we won't mention this matter for the time being, and the young master will decide after the war is over." ”
After Sabei took the initiative to put the matter on hold for the time being, the atmosphere in the room was obviously much lighter, but it was still inevitably a little more dull.
After Tokugawa Ieyasu returned to the top for a long time and no one spoke, Sabei coughed, got up and bowed his head to the crowd and said, "War is an extraordinary time, and I don't think the young master will be angry with Okubo-sama because of such a trivial matter. After finishing speaking, Sabei felt that he seemed to be a little too talkative, and then said to everyone: "I have already said before I went down that Takeda Katsuri is not inferior to his father in wisdom and resourcefulness, and he is good at scheming, but there is no lack of righteous skills, and the coalition forces should be cautious about him, and I hope you will take it as a warning for the losses suffered by his subordinates." ”
Yan Bi Zuobei was about to sit down, but suddenly got up again and said, "Sanhe Temple, I wonder if the Takeda Army can bypass the deployment of the coalition forces along the mountain road next to the Tokai National Highway and cut off the connection between the coalition forces and the High Heavenly God City?" ”
After listening to Sabei's words, the people of Tokugawa shook their heads and said that if it was hundreds of people, it would be okay to give it a try, and if it was thousands, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream. Immediately, Sabei asked the crowd again: "Then what if we go by sea and land in the rear of the coalition forces to outflank us?" ”
Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then Ishikawa Shumasa said with a smile: "It's not me and the Suruga Navy, these three thousand Suruga Sailors are not the former Suruga Sailors, whether they can be unified is a problem, Takeda Katsuyori dares to let these three thousand Suruga Sailors land in the rear, and the Suruga Navy, the family will let the Suruga Navy, completely disappear from the Takeda Army." ”
After speaking, Ishikawa Shumasa said with a positive color: "We and the lord have speculated on these, and there is basically no feasibility, so we haven't mentioned it. ”
Sabei nodded when he heard this, and then sat down on the maza, his head bowed and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Subsequently, Tokugawa Ieyasu rejected the proposal of Honda Tadakatsu and Kamihara Yasumasa on the grounds that it was unsafe to take the initiative to attack, and after half a day of deliberation was still fruitful, Tokugawa Ieyasu dismissed the people who were obviously exhausted.
Later, Sabei went to meet with Fushiwa Akijiro and others, who were arranged in the second formation, and after boosting the morale of the descendants, he returned to the third iron artillery team that was currently in charge.
After waiting for a day in Makinohara Castle, the Oritoku coalition finally saw the shadow of the Takeda Army, a scout team of only seven or eight people, who had just emerged on the flat and wide Suruga Ohara in front of Makinohara Castle, and was frightened by more than 100 Tokugawa horseback samurai who rushed up.
In the days that followed, although Takeda scouts came from the east to fight horses, they only saw countless Tokugawa Aoi patterns and countless other family crests, and they were scared away by the Tokugawa family's horseback samurai before they even had time to identify who the family crests were.
Standing on Makinohara Castle, Sabei looked at the Takeda scouts who had fled from their horses, and subconsciously spat out: "What a failure!" ”
Fujido Takatora on the side looked at the Tokugawa samurai who were hunting Takeda's scouts, and whispered to Sabei: "Lord, this Takeda family has been too ridiculous recently, first inexplicably sent it to the coalition army Munohara Castle, so that the coalition army can defend against danger, and now it sends scouts every day to investigate, but always..."
"You can't see what's weird, are you? I have a vague feeling that Katsuyori Takeda is brewing a storm, and this ridiculous thing is just the calm before the storm, and we are the fools in the eye of the typhoon who think that there is a clear sky. After seeing the Tokugawa samurai capture the two Takeda scouts, Sabei turned to Fujido Takatora and said with a smile.
Fujido Takatora was shocked when he heard this, and whispered to Sabei, "In that case, why didn't the lord inform Mikawaden and Sakai-sama and others?" ”
"Seeing is believing, hearing is false, the Takeda Katsuyori in my mouth is too brave, and the Takeda Katsuyori they see is too ridiculous, this difference is me, I won't believe it, besides, this is just my feeling, do I want to say to Mikawaden: 'My lord, I feel that Takeda Katsuyori is brewing a big plan, and I hope that Mikawaden will be careful, if you can't make up your mind, the coalition forces might as well abandon Makinohara Castle, retreat to Yuanjiang and continue to hold on to Takatenjin Castle, waiting for the main force to join the main force that has completed the assessment of Higashimino by the family.' ”
"If that's the case, I'm afraid that the names of ghosts such as Xuanxin and Hu Zhengcheng that I have fought hard for all these years will be completely reduced to a laughing stock, and the lord will not let go of us who fled from the battle."
After hearing this, Fujido Takatora glanced at the Takeda scouts who were tied back by the Tokugawa samurai under the castle, and said to Sabei, who was also staring at him: "Since the lord can think of a plan, Mikawaden has thought about it, if it weren't for Takeda Katsuri's wisdom and wisdom to ordinary people, I'm afraid it would be difficult to cross the line of Makinohara. ”
After hearing this, Sabei subconsciously went to the captured Takeda scouts, but saw that the Takeda scouts tied up by the Tokugawa samurai had fallen to the ground motionless, and in addition to being shocked, Sabei immediately said to Fujido Takatora beside him: "Come with me to have a look!" ”
By the time Sabei arrived at Takeda Scout's body, Honda Tadakatsu and Kamihara Yasumasa had already begun to examine Takeda Scout's body. After seeing Sabei coming, the two said hello with a smile, and then stepped forward and said to Sabei: "Committed suicide by taking poison, where is this scout, it is clearly a dead soldier, Takeda Katsuyori is making such a play, is he laughing at his family for not daring to attack?" ”
After listening to Kamihara Yasumasa's words, Sabei shook his head slightly, and then said to the two: "If you want to provoke us and let us take the initiative to fight, I will not use such a method. ”
As soon as Sabei's words fell, he heard someone behind him say, "The Takeda Army is so weird, it's really unsettling!" ”
When everyone turned around, they saw Sakai Tadaji holding the saber in his hand, looking at the corpse on the ground with a cold face, and then said to the three of Sabei: "I want to persuade the lord to withdraw from Makinohara and return to Takatenjin Castle, waiting for the main force of the Oda army to converge, and it is not too late to fight with Takeda." ”
After hearing this, Honda Tadashi shook his head and said: "The lord went out to Makinohara Castle to force the Takeda Army to fight a decisive battle, and now that Makinohara Castle has been occupied for several days, there is no plan for a decisive battle with the Takeda Army, and even the main force of the Takeda Army has not met. In my opinion, the lord should continue to take the initiative, and when the time comes, the soldiers of this family will approach Junfu Castle, and see what tricks Takeda Katsuyori can play! ”
