Chapter Eighty-Six: Envoy to Takeda

Although Tokugawa Ieyasu said that he was going to change clothes, Ishikawa Shumasa and Naito Masanari waited until dark in the castle hall and did not see Tokugawa Ieyasu come out. At this time, Ishikawa Shu was facing the flag on duty outside the door and asked, "Is the lord out?" When the flag on duty heard this, he bowed his head to Ishikawa Shumasa and said, "The lord has left the castle hall a long time ago, and he should have lost his visit to Sakai-sama." ”

After hearing this, Ishikawa Shumasa and Naito Masari looked at each other, knowing that something was wrong, Tokugawa Ieyasu forgot that the two people in the castle hall were not intentional, but deliberately let the two of them reflect in the castle hall. After pondering, Ishikawa said to Naito Masari: "Shiichiro, since the lord finally asked us to wait, we will continue to wait here for the lord to come back and apologize to the lord!" ”

After listening to Ishikawa Shumasa's words, Naito Masari nodded and continued to sit down, waiting for Tokugawa Ieyasu's return in the somewhat cold castle hall.

After releasing the two pigeons, Tokugawa Ieyasu first came to Sakai Tadaji's house, greeted Sakai's family, and expressed the importance of Sakai Tadaji to himself, and told Sakai Tadaji, who had regained consciousness, to cultivate well and continue to work for his family after recuperating his body. Sakai Tadaji was also very excited that Tokugawa Ieyasu could return safely, and kept silent about Tsukiyamaden's reprimand.

Later, Tokugawa Ieyasu visited the samurai who had withdrawn from the battlefield (how can the samurai's affairs be called escape?233), and after some encouragement, Tokugawa Ieyasu walked towards Nimaru and Sanmaru. Tokugawa Ieyasu boosted the morale of the low-ranking samurai and said that his family would counterattack Takeda in the near future. He also told the low-ranking samurai to take good care of their injuries and continue to serve their families.

In the end, Tokugawa Ieyasu took seven or eight attendants to the camp of the Oda army, and after communicating with Tokugawa Ieyasu and other generals of the Oda family, such as Sakuma Nobumori, Hayashi Hidesada, and Hirate Fanhide, said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Mikawaden, the Takeda army is attacking fiercely, if it attacks Hamamatsu Castle, I hope that Mikawaden will make plans early!" ”

After hearing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu said to the Oda generals: "You don't have to worry, I have my own ideas in my heart, you can rest well tonight, you have worked hard!" With that, Tokugawa Ieyasu saluted the Oda generals before leaving. Sakuma Nobumori looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu who was far away, and said to Hisho Fanhide, "Jinzaemon, why did you send out the Meisha Gate?" ”

After hearing this, Hirata Fanxiu said, "Naturally, it is to help Ishikawa-sama find the Mikawa Temple. At this time, Lin Xiuzhen smiled and said to the flat hand Fanxiu: "Then why didn't Shizaemon stay to help Ishikawa-sama?" After hearing this, Fan Xiu also smiled and said: "Lin Zuo Wataru is a person who is loyal to the lord!" After hearing this, Lin Xiuzhen laughed and said, "Can I know why Lord Masahide cut himself?" ”

"Enough, things on the battlefield are changing, it's not anyone's fault, if Mingshamen unfortunately dies, it is also Mingshamen's martial luck; Okay, go and gather the army, maybe the Takeda family will attack the city tomorrow! Sakuma Nobumori interrupted the argument between the two and separated the two men, took out a pen and paper and led several samurai to count the number of casualties and missing samurai.

At this time, the burning sky was being treated by the doctors of the Tokugawa family, and the right Ichisuke and Fushiwa Akijiro beside him were extremely anxious. Although the doctor had already told everyone that the most serious injury to the Burning Sky was only a heavy blow to the left shoulder, the Nine Lives Samurai under the Burning Sky Gate still couldn't rest assured of his lord. After comforting everyone under the Burning Gate, Yasumasa Kamihara said goodbye to everyone and returned to his house to get some secret medicine from home, and changed his clothes by the way.

Not long after Kamihara Yasumasa left, Tokugawa Ieyasu came to the doctor to look for Kamihara Yasumasa. Although he didn't find Yasumasa Kamihara, he found that he had refuted his incineration before. After asking the samurai under the Burning Sky Gate, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who understood the cause and effect, immediately said, "Meishamen is such a loyal person. Then Tokugawa Ieyasu praised the burning of the sky a few more words, and left with his men.

Fushiwa Akijiro also seemed to realize something, and said to Right Ichisuke, "Right Ichisuke, you go and report the situation to Sakuma-sama-sama and Hinode-sama!" Right-hand Ichisuke nodded and walked briskly towards the longhouse where the Oda samurai lived.

Soon after, Yasumasa Kamihara returned with a small clay vase, and Yasumasa Kamihara handed the small clay vase to Akijiro Fushiba, and told Akijiro Fushiba that the secret medicine of the Kamihara family in the small clay vase has an excellent effect on trauma, and every morning mix a little powder in the bottle with a small bowl of water, and apply it to the left shoulder of the burning air, so that the burning air can recover as soon as possible.

After Fushiwa Akijiro thanked Kanhara Yasuma, Kamihara Yasumasa was summoned by Tokugawa Ieyasu to the castle hall, and after a few words of advice, Kamihara Yasumasa followed the flag who came to herald the order to Hamamatsu Castle Honmaru.

As the sky gradually darkened, Tokugawa Ieyasu stood by the side of the main house of the castle hall, quietly observing Ishikawa Shumasa and Naito Masari in the main house. After seeing that the two of them had already sensed their intentions, Yasumasa Kamihara also came to him under the leadership of Kimoto. After Tokugawa Ieyasu saw Kamihara Yasumasa, he pulled Kamihara Yasumasa to the side room and whispered to Kamihara Yasumasa: "Koheima, the horseback team has returned from exploration, Heihachi was captured by the Takeda family, and Jiemon and others were captured. ”

After hearing this, Kamihara Yasumasa said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "I'm afraid that Takeda will use Heihachi and others to blackmail us, but we haven't made any gains this time, how can we exchange for Heihachi and others." ”

After hearing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu whispered to Yasumasa Kamihara: "I want to exchange the three counties of Zhouzhi, Hakuhara, and Sano for Heihachi and others. ”

After hearing this, Kamihara Yasumasa was stunned, and then said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "My lord, although I am friends in Xia Heihachi, but if I exchange the three counties for Heiba and others, wouldn't it be a loss for my family, and once the three counties are promised to the Takeda family, if the family wants to recover it, it will be nameless!" ”

After Tokugawa Ieyasu listened to Kamihara Yasumasa's words, he laughed and said: "After exchanging Heihachi and the others back, who will care about the authenticity of a piece of paper, when the family says it is true, it will be true, if the family does not admit it, no matter what the Takeda family says, the family can still raise a teacher to fight." ”

After hearing this, Kamihara Yasumasa said to Tokugawa Ieyasu with a solemn face: "Although the lord's plan is wonderful, the Takeda family may not be able to fall for it, and once the Takeda family is angered, I am afraid that the lives of Heihachi and Jiemon and others will not be guaranteed, and I hope the lord will think twice!" ”

After listening to Kamihara Yasumasa's words, Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly got up and walked to Kamihara Yasumasa's ear, squatted down and whispered to Kamihara Yasumasa: "Hattori Iwami Mamoru sneaked into the vicinity of Takeda Honjin and found out that Takeda Shingen had fallen ill, and now the generation of the Takeda family Honjin is the fourth son of Takeda Shingen, and Takeda Shiro Katsuyori, who once inherited the Suwa Miaozi. ”
