Sabei sighed, no matter what happened to Tokugawa Ieyasu, if he wanted to strengthen his own strength, he had to take a piece of the pie by himself. But now that his ninth formation has been crippled because of the blocking of the Hojo Army, he has only more than a thousand troops under his command, and if he wants to cut a piece of the cake of Kai, I am afraid that he will have to think of some other ways.

At this time, the banquet has been carried out so far, there is no point in continuing, and Oda Nobunaga has already dealt with the encouragement that should be encouraged, the reprimand that should be reprimanded, and the Hojo clan rules.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Oda Nobunaga to end the banquet, and Sabei also returned to his residence after bidding farewell to Takigawa Kazuki and Ikeda Tsuneko.

Sabei, who returned to the station, ordered Sakaki Heiji to summon his men's humerus, and Sakaki Heiji immediately ran out as soon as he got the order.

After a while, Fushiwa Akijiro and Suzuki Heavy Industries, Kaima Yoshiya and Sukeemon arrived at the Yashiki where Sabei was located.

Sabei, who was sitting at the top, looked at the four people in the room, and finally ordered the close attendant Fujido Takatora to call out.

After the six people in the house arrived, Sabei glanced at everyone, and then said to everyone: "I called everyone here today to inform you that the lord intends to attack the Kai Kingdom, and we must be prepared." ”

Listening to Sabei's words, Suzuki Heavy Industries took the lead in speaking and said: "My lord, now that the coalition army has broken the Hojo Army and captured Sunfu Castle, the loss is not small, why didn't His Royal Highness Nobunaga wait for the coalition army to repair and send troops to Kai?" ”

After listening to Suzuki Heavy Industries' words, Kaima Yoshiya also echoed: "Although the Takeda clan lost Sunfu Castle in this battle, its foundation in Kai is more solid, and the troops that can be mobilized are far better than when they were in Suruga Province.

Hearing this, Sabei smiled and said to everyone: "This is not an assessment to the Japanese family, but the lord has conveyed an order to us, and we should think about how to carry out the order and obtain war merits and rewards!" ”

When everyone heard this, they bowed their heads and agreed, and then fell into deep thought. Sabei said out: "This time Takeda Katsuyori fled in a hurry, presumably Kai is also in chaos at this time, and once the Uesugi clan wins in Kita-Shinano, how much room for resistance can the Takeda clan be caught between the Uesugi clan in the south and the main family in the north?" ”

Then Sabei said: "Everyone thinks that the coalition army has just gone through a bloody battle and is already wounded, but the wound of the Takeda clan is much deeper than that of the coalition army, and the previous 20,000 troops are now only more than 1,000 people who have fled back to Kai, even if those scattered Takeda troops return to Kai, what kind of military strength can they establish?" Anyway, I've heard that the warriors of Kai and Suruga have had a lot of gains, and I guess I'll be going to get the head of the Takeda Army to Sunpu Castle in exchange for a reward in two days. ”

At this time, Fushiwa Meijiro bowed his head to Sabei, and then said: "Lord, we are not afraid of the Takeda Army and stop moving, but we are worried that the main guild will lose too much in this battle, and now the army of the family is only more than 600, although there are more than 500 people under Lord Mori Nagako and Lord Okubo Tadasa, but these more than 1,000 troops are nothing in the coalition army, and the young master is about to be born, this..."

After hearing this, Sabei smiled and said, "Although there was news before that Yama Prefecture Shokei had gathered thousands of troops to rescue Takeda Katsuyori, if it were me, I would not have done anything, but would have quietly entered Suruga and raided the coalition forces besieging the city, which was nothing more than a bluff by Yama Prefecture Shokei. ”

Seeing that Sabei was high-spirited, everyone did not persuade him any further, so they all thought about how to make the limited strength of more than 1,000 troops play an amazing effect, so as to obtain more military exploits and rewards.

In the end, everyone discussed and came to a conclusion that could not be adapted, which also made Sabei feel bitterly smiling, after all, he was not the commander of the coalition army, and it was not easy to speculate what the coalition would do next, and the best way to deal with it at the moment was to actively respond to Oda Nobunaga's plan to go north to conquer Kai Takeda, and now Oda Nobunaga had a wave of goodwill in front of him, and then slowly drew it.

So Sabei and the others fell into the stage of training and waiting for orders, but soon someone came to visit Sabei, and this person was Oda Nobutada.

Oda Nobutada looked at Sabei in the house, pondered for a moment, and then asked Saheo, "Sabei, do you know why my father sent me to defend Yama Shokei and let Takeda Katsuyori flee from the area I defended?" ”

Hearing this, Sabei looked at Oda Nobutada, who was frowning in front of him, and said after a few breaths: "Young master, do you know why the lord wants to let Takeda Katsuyori go?" ”

Oda Nobutada nodded when he heard this, and said: "The Takeda clan has not been very stable since the death of Takeda Shingen, and there is a sharp contradiction between the internal old minister faction and the Suwa faction brought up by Takeda Katsuyori, on the one hand, Takeda Katsuyori needs to use the Suwa faction to suppress the powerful old ministers, and on the other hand, he needs these experienced old ministers to help him; But once Takeda Katsuyori was captured or killed, these old ministers and new ministers had a common enemy, that is, the family, so my father let Takeda Katsuyori break through! ”

Sabei nodded and then said: "The lord is testing the young master, and it should be difficult to annihilate the Takeda army with the strength of the young master, who is bent on breaking through!" The lord is testing whether the young lord still has the courage to fight when he doesn't know if the lord has an accident. ”

Oda Nobutada suddenly realized when he heard this, and then a trace of joy appeared on his face, and he asked Sabei: "Sabei, now that my father has sent troops to Kai, what do you think?" ”

After hearing this, Sabei paused, took a sip of water gently, and then said: "I will continue to say what the young master said before, the old ministers of Kai do not have much affection for Takeda Katsuyori, a concubine who passed from the Takeda family, and Takeda Katsuyori frequently suppressed the power of the old ministers after changing back to the surname Takeda to succeed the family governor, which made the old ministers who already thought that they were not worthy of being the lord of Takeda even more disagree with the identity of Takeda Katsuyori; And the young retainers of the Suwa faction lost themselves after gaining power for a while, and compared to the old ministers, they were not capable enough, but they were arrogant, and these old ministers were samurai who had fought with Takeda Shingen for many years, how could these new ministers of the Suwa faction who had become important ministers by virtue of favor be so presumptuous? As long as Katsuyori Takeda and the other two sides are still around, this contradiction will be difficult to eliminate, and not only will it be difficult for Katsuyori Takeda to control the overall situation, but the struggle between the other two sides will not stop. ”

After getting the answer he wanted, Oda Nobutada smiled and said goodbye to Sabei. However, Sabei, who had sent away Oda Nobutada, began to feel uneasy at this time, if the troops of the Oritoku coalition army came to the city to unite Takeda Junchen, then this battle would not be so easy!
