Oda Nobunaga seemed to be eager to conquer Kai, and the army of less than 20,000 was gathered again by Oda Nobunaga before he could repair for two days. Oda Nobunaga did not re-divide the military formation, but still assigned tasks to the generals according to the original division.

Originally, Sabei thought that the first hand service must be Tokugawa Ieyasu or Takigawa Kazuki, but he didn't expect that this time the first hand service was the Takenaka Hanbei Department with the smallest battle damage, which also made Sabei notice a little strange. Although the Takenaka Half-Soldier Guard Department has fewer battle losses, it is not a strong general, and the performance of the people of Mino has always been decent.

Sabei originally wanted to find out to Oda Nobutada after the assessment, but he thought that if there was really any plan in it, he took the liberty of asking Oda Nobutada, but it put Oda Nobutada in a dilemma, so he simply observed the situation for the time being, and if there was a plan as the war developed, he would naturally surface by himself.

However, after that, Oda Nobunaga's assignment of the ninth formation of Sabei made Sabei quite uncomfortable. Sabei, who originally wanted to make a contribution in this battle, was organized into a special team, and it was no longer in the fish scale formation planned by Oda Nobunaga. The mission of the Sabei is to protect the back of the army and prevent the Takeda army from waiting for an opportunity to sneak up on the weakness of the Fish Scale Formation.

When Sabei got such a task, he had no choice but to nod his head and agree, and at the same time said to Oda Nobunaga, who was at the top: "This time, the army of this family is like thunder, and it is an honor for the lord to hand over the heavy responsibility behind the defense army to the next!" ”

Oda Nobunaga chuckled when he heard this, and then said to Sabei: "Takeda Katsuyori is quite cunning, you should be careful!" ”

After the pre-battle assessment was over, Sabei quickly returned to the garrison and informed his generals of the task of the ninth formation. When Mori Changke heard the assignment of the Ninth Formation, he was immediately a little dissatisfied, and asked Sabei, "Lord Mingwei, why did you organize us as a special team, or a special team behind the escort army?" ”

Hearing this, Sabei laughed at the forest chief, and then said: "This is just a pre-war plan, if the war really starts, the task we are waiting for will not be so simple!" ”

After comforting his retainers and Mori Naga and Okubo Tadasa, who were temporarily under his jurisdiction, Sabei received an order from Oda Nobunaga to march the army to Kai Province tomorrow.

On the second day, it was slightly bright, and Oda Nobunaga had already organized his troops to march in the direction of Kai Province in turn. He left less than 1,000 people stationed at Sunpu Castle, and at the same time sent orders to the countrymen and wealthy clans in Suruga to send the account books of the income in their respective territories to Sunpu Castle by themselves, and then give everyone a letter of knowledge after the army broke through the Takeda clan's Hesakikan.

The Oritoku coalition army marched through the dense forests on the border between Suruga and Kai, and was harassed by a small group of wealthy clans under the command of the Takeda clan on the way, but more contact was made by envoys sent by the wealthy clans in southern Kai.

For the Kai clans, whether the Takeda clan continues to rule Kai, or the Oda clan rules Kai, as long as the time of their speculation is correct, in the end their own fief is still their own fief, as for the death of a few samurai and some miscellaneous soldiers is not too much of a problem, anyway, now there are many ronin, the ronin who drags the family can not only supplement the combat power but also supplement the manpower, and wait until the Kai returns to peace, and it is good to encourage childbirth in the territory.

Only those wealthy clans who are closely related to the Takeda clan will go to the national disaster with the Takeda clan and deal with Oda Nobunaga's army with all their might, which is also the way for these wealthy clans to survive in troubled times.

Oda Nobunaga was apparently not happy with this ambiguous method of speculation, demanding that the wealthy who wanted to take refuge in him be held hostage. And this is also a way for the Warring States Daimyo to curb his wealthy clans, but for the rebellious wealthy clans, as long as their bodies are okay, the concubines who are sent as hostages are nothing.

Sabei glanced at the envoys of the wealthy clans in front of him, and then said to Fushiwa Akijiro behind him: "Before the coalition army entered Kai Country, these wealthy clans came to communicate with the lord, aren't Takeda Katsuyori unguarded?" ”

After hearing this, Fushiwa Meijiro's eyes flashed, and then he whispered to Sabei: "My lord, maybe this is Takeda Katsuyori on purpose, trying to confuse us and others!" ”

Suzuki Heavy Industries on the side nodded after hearing this, and then added: "This may also be Takeda Katsuyori's plan, wanting to arrange spies to infiltrate the coalition forces to find out the news!" ”

Glancing at the envoys waiting to be seen outside Oda Nobunaga's main camp, Sabei led his retainers to the side of the avenue.

Sabei, who was standing in the forest, looked around, and then said to the retainers beside him with a smile: "This forest is also a place where you can ambush, but it is too deep and will be discovered if there is any wind and grass." ”

After hearing this, Sukeemon nodded, and then spoke: "Could it be that Takeda Katsuyori also wants to imitate Nobunaga's battle of Barrel Sasama, deliberately sending people to drag the lord, and then sending people to surprise the coalition forces?" ”

At this time, Sabei found that Takigawa Ichiyi was walking towards him, so he glanced at the retainers beside him, and everyone immediately stopped talking, followed Sabei's gaze, and immediately bowed his head after discovering Takigawa Ichiyi

Takigawa Kazuki walked to Sabei's side, and then said to Sabei and his party with a smile: "After the defeat of Takeda Katsuyori, how could it be possible to gather so many troops to raid suddenly, and there are troops sent by the lord around to be on guard, you don't have to worry!" ”

Sabei saw that Takigawa Ichiyi was in a good mood, so he smiled and asked Takigawa Ichiyi: "Lord Ichiyi, the Takeda clan is now in decline, I wonder if this family can defeat the Takeda clan in one fell swoop?" ”

After hearing this, Takigawa Kazuki said with a smile: "It is easy for the family to defeat the army of the Takeda clan, but it is very difficult to completely defeat the Takeda clan, and the Hojo clan and the Uesugi clan will not watch the family pocket the territory of the Takeda clan, but I am afraid that once the family wins a great victory in Kai, the Hojo clan will immediately march to Suruga, and the Uesugi clan will also attract the wealthy families of the North Shinano clan to take a wait-and-see posture." ”

Sabei frowned when he heard this, and then said to Takigawa Kazuki: "I'm afraid that this family will inevitably have a fierce battle with the Hojo clan!" ”

Takigawa Ichiyi nodded with a smile after hearing this, looked at Oda Nobunaga's main camp, and then looked at Sabei in front of him and said: "The Uesugi clan is not stable internally, and it will not make a move against the family for a while, but the Hojo clan will not sit idly by and watch the power of the family develop in the Kanto region, if they form an alliance again, the family will be in danger!" ”

Sabei, who was looking at Takigawa Kazuki, smiled after hearing this, and said to Takigawa Kazuyi: "Then don't let the Uesugi clan and the Hojo clan form an alliance!" Ueno is a good chip!
