"Shut up, Xiaoping Tai, do you know that if the lord has an accident, the blow to the family is not as simple as losing the territory of a country!" As the head of the Tokugawa family, Sakai Tadaji, after Kanhara Yasumasa finished speaking, reprimanded Kanhara Yasumasa who had different opinions.

Sakai Tadaji's rebuke shocked the hearts of the generals who had been inclined to Kamihara Yasumasa, and the lessons of the previous generation of the Matsudaira family were so profound that some elderly ministers did not dare to recall that chaotic time.

Tokugawa Ieyasu sat on the top and looked at the retainers who had fallen silent. At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu said to Sakai Tadaji: "Xiao Heiji, if I insist on fighting, do you have something to say?" ”

After hearing Tokugawa Ieyasu's words, not only the retainers of the Tokugawa family fell into shock, but even the three of Sakuma Nobumori looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu with puzzled expressions. Then I heard Tokugawa Ieyasu say, "It has been thirteen years since I returned to Mikawa to reorganize the Matsudaira family after the Battle of Tsubakusama, and it has gone through rebellion and expansion before the Tokugawa family has the two kingdoms that we have today; If we abandon Enoe for fear of Takeda today, and then return to Mikawa, will I also give up Mikawa because I am afraid of Takeda, and if so, how will I face my grandfather and father who sacrificed their lives for Matsudaira? ”

Listening to Tokugawa Ieyasu's reprimand, the important ministers of the Tokugawa family bowed their heads and remained silent. The Burning Sky took the opportunity to observe the performance of everyone, and the faces of the young Zhuang faction who advocated going out of the battle showed excitement and anger, as if they were going to talk about the Takeda Army torn apart now. The middle-aged conservatives who advocate retreating to the Three Rivers have all their faces sad and angry, and some of them are even secretly weeping.

After all the retainers were brought into their emotions, Tokugawa Ieyasu said: "Now, we have only one battle to defend the dignity of the Mikawa samurai, and even if we die in the land of the distant river, we will not live up to the soul of the Mikawa samurai." ”

Then Tokugawa Ieyasu turned his head at Sakuma Nobumori and asked Sakuma Nobumori, "Nobumori, are you willing to defeat the Takeda army with me?" ”

This question stopped the three of Sakuma Nobumori, and after Sasa Narimasa reacted, he immediately said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Your Highness Mikawa, if you have any choice strategy, please also repair a letter and let it be handed over to the lord for decision!" ”

Sakuma Nobumori also thought for a few breaths and said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Your Highness Mikawa, this matter still needs to be decided by the lord, but if the Takeda army attacks, I will definitely lead my own army to help as much as possible." ”

After hearing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu was obviously dissatisfied with what Sakuma Nobumori and Sasa Narumasa said, so he said to Sakuma Nobumori: "I don't need to say more about the truth between the main family and the Oda family, you all know it; If the main family is destroyed by Takeda, the Oda family will face more than just the encirclement of the forces of Miyoshi, Matsuhisa, Ashikaga, Honganji and Asakura! ”

Hearing Tokugawa Ieyasu say this, Sakuma Nobumori couldn't sit still. At this time, Burning Sky whispered to Sakuma Nobumori: "Lord Sakuma, don't be impatient!" Then he said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Your Highness Mikawa, although you are a lowly person, I also implore Your Highness Mikawa to listen carefully to your words!" ”

After saying that, he got up and walked to the place not long in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and said to Tokugawa Ieyasu with a cold face: "Your Highness Mikawa, if you are bent on fighting, your family, as an ally, will naturally not ignore the situation, but the current situation in the East Mino region and the tense situation in the Gyeonggi region, I think His Highness Mikawa also understands something; The family still sent 3,000 troops to support His Highness Mikawa when he needed it most, but His Royal Highness Mikawa knew the family's intentions? ”

After hearing the words of the burning air, the retainers of Tokugawa glared angrily at the burning air, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's face gradually deteriorated. After looking around in place for a week, Burning Sky continued to say to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "But His Highness Mikawa, if I wait to attack the Takeda Army or hold Hamamatsu Castle, can His Highness Mikawa think of a way back?" If we are defeated by the Takeda army or fail to defend the city, and His Highness Mikawa is unfortunately captured, what will happen to Enoe and Mikawa? I would like to ask His Highness Mikawa to consider all of these before making a decision. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu laughed when he heard this, and said: "After my death, Okaki (Nobuyasu) will take over as the governor of the family and protect the two countries of Mikawa and Enoe, and Okaki should give him more guidance when he is young, and be sure to save the family names of the Matsudaira family and the Tokugawa family!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, how could Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had always been calm, say such a thing. Then Tokugawa Ieyasu said to Sasa Narumasa: "I'll fix a book later, and I'll give the letter to Nobunaga!" ”

Sakai Tadaji saw that Tokugawa Ieyasu had even arranged the things behind him, so he got up and said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "My lord, since we have decided to fight the Takeda army to the end, I and other retainers will definitely accompany the lord and not let the Takeda army hurt the lord in the slightest." ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu then said a few more encouraging words, and after the retainers left, he returned to his study and wrote a letter to Sasa Narimasa. Sakuma Nobumori left with the burning sky first, and on the way, Sakuma Nobumori said to the burning sky: "Mingshamen, fortunately, you can break the siege, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Today's Sanhe Hall is really unpredictable! ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky said respectfully: "Lord Sakuma's reputation is overblown, today is the credit of the adult, and it is just a little bit of argumentation in the next, if it weren't for the calm answer of His Highness Mikawa before the adult, we would have lost the momentum." ”

Just as Sakuma Nobumori and Burning Sky were chatting, Honda Tadakatsu rushed to Sakuma Nobumori's side and bowed his head and said, "Today's matter, the lord doesn't have any malice, it's just... It's just..."At this time, Kamihara Yasumasa, who was followed by Honda Tadakatsu, said to Sakuma Nobumori: "It's just that the lord was in a hurry, and he was a little rude to the Oda family, I'm really sorry, I'll apologize to the two of you on behalf of the lord!" ”
