Tokugawa Ieyasu and his entourage hurriedly returned to Hamamatsu Castle, at this time the Oda army in the city had already integrated the team, and the three generals Sakuma Nobumori, Hayashi Hidesada and Flat Te Fanhide were standing on the walls of Hamamatsu Castle Mishimaru waiting for the return of Tokugawa Ieyasu and his party. Sakuma Nobumori looked back at the direction of Gifu and said to Lin Xiuzhen: "Xingoro, I don't know what the situation in Gifu City is, and I am also worried in my heart, I don't know how the main guild will deal with the situation of the next Takeda Suppression. ”

After listening to Sakuma Nobumori's words, Lin Xiuzhen sighed and whispered to Sakuma Nobumori: "Captain Oemon, Mikawaden went to negotiate with the Takeda family this time, not to mention the result of the negotiations, no matter how I look at it, I think that Mikawaden is a little now..."

"Shingoro! The alliance between the Mikawa Hall and the family is the alliance of Xinyi, when the sister river was in the war, if it were not for the Mikawa Hall to resist the offensive of the Asai and Asakura coalition forces, how could the family have the opportunity to organize a counteroffensive again, there is no need to mention more such examples, Shingoro knows in his heart, now that the Mikawaden is newly defeated, it is reasonable to negotiate with the Takeda family in exchange for a heavy minister, Shingoro can not say anything! Sakuma Nobumori spoke out to block Lin Xiuzhen's words before Lin Xiuzhen's words were spoken. Lin Xiuzhen suddenly fell silent after hearing this, and her eyes unconsciously looked in the direction of Qifu.

Finally, after Tokugawa Ieyasu and others made a quick trip, the silhouette of Hamamatsu Castle came into view. The samurai guarding the gate saw Tokugawa Ieyasu returning with a group of Tokugawa samurai, shouted and ran down the castle wall to open the castle gate, and behind the castle gate, Mimaru waited for news from the Tokugawa Shigetomi instantly poured out of the castle. Nobumori Sakuma and the others also walked quickly down the castle wall and walked towards the outside of the castle.

Tokugawa Ieyasu saw the retainers come out to greet him, reined in his horse and said to the retainers: "You don't need to say much, send the warriors back to their respective homes to recuperate, and register the list of samurai who died in battle!" After Tokugawa Ieyasu finished speaking, he said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Mikawaden, let's go and meet with Lord Sakuma first, so I won't stay here longer!" ”

After saying that, he and Fushiwa Akijiro dismounted and walked quickly towards Sakuma Nobumori and the others, while Tokugawa Ieyasu said to Kamihara Yasumasa: "Xiao Heiji, I have worked hard for you this time, but I still have to trouble you to transport the reward of Akishamon to his army!" After hearing this, Yasumasa Kamihara immediately bowed his head and agreed, and then ran towards Honmaru with five flags.

However, it was said that after the burning of the sky and the reunion of Sakuma Nobumori and others, Sakuma Nobumori ordered the burning sky to return to the temporary house as soon as possible to clean up and prepare. And Sakuma Nobumori took Lin Xiuzhen and Hisho Fanxiu to come to Tokugawa Ieyasu and bowed his head and said: "Mikawa Palace, the lord ordered the army to return to Gifu as soon as possible, and he didn't stay much in Xia, and he failed to help Sanhe Hall defeat the Takeda Army, and he was ashamed and embarrassed, and I hope Mikawaden will forgive me!" ”

After hearing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu dismounted and said to Sakuma Nobumori: "The defeat in this battle is not the loss of Nobumori, it is really my fault, and now that the Gifu crisis is in crisis, I am also unable to send troops to support Nobubuto, and I hope Nobuyama will forgive me!" I will also write a letter later to personally apologize to Mr. Shin! After listening to Tokugawa Ieyasu's words, Sakuma Nobumori bowed to Tokugawa Ieyasu and retreated, walking towards Hamamatsu Castle.

At this time, the jubilant people of Hamamatsu Castle could not understand the worries of Sakuma Nobumori and others, just as Sakuma Nobumori and others could not understand the worries of the people of Hamamatsu Castle before. Sakuma Nobumori and the three of them hurried all the way to the Oda army, which had been assembled, and after conveying the order of Oda Nobunaga to everyone, Sakuma Nobumori gave the order to set off.

The procession walked from Sanmaru in Hamamatsu Castle to the outside of Hamamatsu Castle, passing through the family members who had just received the pillars of their homes, and then passing through the commissioners who were registering their heads. The immediate burning of the sky is now a little worried, what kind of impact the early demise of the Asai family will have on the Oda family, and whether or not the Akiyama Nobuyo, who received Iwamura Castle, will continue to advance towards Mino, which also makes it more and more difficult for the burning of the sky to grasp some historical events.

Just as the Oda army was about to leave the city, Yasumasa Kamihara appeared behind Kanku with five flags and ten ashigaru pulling rickshaws, and stopped Kanku in thought. Sakuma Nobumori turned his head to look at Yasumasa Kamihara, who was carrying two carts of copper coins, and said in a loud voice to the burning sky: "Don't delay too long!" With that, he continued to lead the Oda army in the direction of Gifu.

Yasumasa Kamihara put these things in front of the burning sky, bowed his head and said to the burning sky: "These are the rewards promised by the lord before, please accept them from Mingshamen, after you go to Gifu, I don't know when I will see you again, and your saving grace to me, I will never forget!" Take care of this trip, and wish Ming Shamen martial arts prosperity! After hearing Kamihara Yasumasa's words, Burning Sky bowed his head to Kamihara Yasumasa and said: "Lord Kamihara, if the Takeda Army attacks the city again, I hope that Lord Kamihara can persuade Mikawa Hall to retreat to Mikawa Country, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, and the most important thing is to preserve the existing living force!" ”

With that, Burning Sky waved his hand at the newly assigned Ashigaru team, and Ashigaru, one of the Ashigaru team, stepped forward to take what Yasumasa Kamihara had delivered. Kanku bowed his head again to Kanhara Yasumasa, and when Kanhara Yasumasa saluted, he stepped forward and patted the belly roll on Kinku's chest, and placed a small bag of things in Kinku's hand. When Kanku found out, he turned his head to look at Yasumasa Kamihara, but saw that Yasumasa Kamihara had already mounted his horse and walked towards Hamamatsu Castle.

Burning Sky touched the contents of the bag with his right hand and found that inside the bag were two metal ingots and a folded piece of paper. Kanku looked at Yasumasa Kamihara who was far away, and tied a small cloth bag around his waist. Said to the ashigaru team who had already arranged the cart: "Let's go!" Then he struck his horse and pursued in the direction where Oda's army had gone.

Along the way, Sakuma Nobumori and the others hurried towards Gifu Castle, and everyone only rested in the Mikawa area for a while, and then set foot on the road to Gifu Castle again in the afterglow of dusk. The march at night was the hardest, and the horses under the crotch were panting for breath, and the samurai and ashigaru of the Oda family were tired and tripped over stones on the road or scratched by branches on both sides of the road.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sakuma Nobumori ordered the Oda army to stop marching and rest in the woods on both sides of the road. With the help of Ichisuke on the right, he got off his horse and came to the side of Fushiwa Akijiro and other samurai. The Oda army picked up or cut off the dead branches in the woods, lit piles of fires to keep warm in the howling cold wind, and lay down around the fires to rest under the persuasion of his samurai.

As soon as it was dawn, Sakuma Nobumori ordered everyone to be woken up, and then they simply ate some grilled rice balls and set out on the road to Gifu again. The castles of Mikawa, who learned the news, did not stop the Oda army on the road, which was bent on marching towards Gifu, and some ronins in Mikawa were also keenly aware of the opportunity and prepared on the way through the Oda army.
