After choosing the people he wanted, Sabei organized them into a team alone, although their number was much larger than that of Sabei's men.

After receiving the rest of the army, Sakuma Nobumori glanced in the direction of the Sabei station, and then encouraged the remnants of the army in front of him to temporarily integrate them into his own army.

Now that the pre-war military situation is useless, Ashigaru, who has experienced a great rout, only believes in his own samurai, and the samurai sent by Tokugawa Ieyasu are difficult to restrain them, and Tokugawa Ieyasu does not bother to inquire about this, and for the time being, he acquiesces in the current military establishment.

The selected person was handed over to Fushiwa Akijiro to restrain him, and Sabei, who was not to act rashly, walked to the castle wall with his attendants. The general on duty on the castle wall happened to be Yasumasa Kamihara again, and the two chatted on the castle wall again.

Now that the Takeda army under the castle is in high morale after returning from looting, the noise in the camp has crossed the open field and flew into the demoralized Makinohara Castle. The Sabei in the city looked at the Takeda army under the city, and had a different mood for a while, how could Takeda Katsuyori be so leisurely, neither attacking Makinohara Castle, nor taking the initiative to retreat to maintain the current state of stalemate. No, Makinohara's Castle was not so easy to capture, and with the threat of the main force of the Oda army, the Takeda army should shrink its defensive line after the raid.

Sabei, who sensed something, glanced at Kamihara Yasumasa, and saw that Kamihara Yasumasa did not have any sparkle in his eyes, so he said: "Koheita, now that the Takeda Army's new grain is full of morale and arrogance, I might as well sneak attack the Takeda Army at night?" ”

Hearing this, Yasumasa Kamihara shook his head, and then said to Sabei: "Now the morale of the army is low, don't take risks!" ”

After hearing this, Sabei nodded, chatted with Yasumasa Kamihara for a few more words, and then returned to the station with his attendants. At this time, the attendants sent to Gifu had already rushed back, and at the same time brought back a letter from Oda Nobunaga. Sabei hurriedly read the letter, then put it down and slowly sorted out his thoughts.

The Takeda Army sent troops to attack Makinoharau Castle several times, but each time they did not do their best, and the pressure on everyone in the city was not too great. The Takeda army boiled frogs in warm water like this, not forcing the coalition forces defending the city to a dead end, but leaving a glimmer of hope for the coalition forces, and at the same time instilling in everyone the illusion that the Takeda army defending the city could not be defeated, so as to prevent the coalition forces from fighting to the death, and inadvertently defusing Tokugawa Ieyasu's "momentum" plan.

If it is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu only planned the "momentum" plan after the news was spread by the spies in the army, and used it to accumulate strength. Now it seems that the Takeda Army did not plan to capture Makinoharau Castle in the first place, but kept hanging the coalition forces of Makinoharaa Castle, so that the coalition forces did not have the strength to return to Enoe, so they easily and calmly plundered the almost unfortified Enoe Castle with 3,000 men.

The letter mentioned that the army under the command of Oda Nobutada was at war with the local tyrants led by the Minami Shinano Kiso family, and they could not get out for a short time. This is also estimated to be Takeda Katsuyori's strategy to deal with the Oda army's attack on the Higashimino area. Therefore, Takeda Katsuyori knew that the Oda army could not support for a while, so he dared to be stationed under Makinohara's castle so casually.

However, the news I got was not all bad news, and the letter also mentioned that the Tokichi Satake family in Sekihachi, a few days ago, together with the Ashina family and the Utsunomiya family, raised a heavy army to attack the Hojo family. Putting aside the time difference in the news, the Hojo clan, who supported the Takeda Army, is estimated to be about to withdraw.

Knowing this, Sabei suddenly rolled over from the ground, picked up the sword beside him, and hurried out the door. Seeing this, Sakaki Heiji, who was serving outside the door, hurriedly took a few close attendants to quickly follow the Sabei guard, and the group walked towards Honda Tadashikatsu's residence in a hurry.

Sakuma Nobumori, who had placed Oda Nobunaga's handwritten letter in the middle of the house, learned of Sabei's movements, and waved his hand to rebuke the samurai who reported the news, with some puzzle in his eyes.

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had been closed to everyone, appeared on the walls of Makinohara Castle. Makinohara Castle, which had been closed for several days, also creaked open under the pull of the ashigaru.

Sabei and Honda Tadakatsu flew out with a dozen close attendants from Makinohara, and the Takeda scouts who were scouting in front of Makinohara's Castle saw this and turned back immediately.

Sabei and his entourage marched to a hundred paces away from the Takeda Army garrison. Honda Tadakatsu, who was on horseback, bent his bow and fired a sword with a letter at the Takeda garrison. It didn't take long for more than a dozen samurai on horseback to emerge from the Takeda army.

The two groups of people stood ten paces away, and when Sabei saw the leader, he said in a loud voice, "Hikirisuke, I wonder how you can return the head of Mamoru Sado?" ”

When the Hojo clan heard this, they laughed and said, "Lin Xiuzhen is an important minister of the Oda family, how can I easily exchange my head with you!" ”

After speaking, the Hojo clan said again: "Today is just because you have the courage and benevolence, I just came to meet you, I heard that you are a member of the Oda family, but unfortunately I only cared about the raid on the Tokugawa Ieyasu main camp that day, and did not cut off your head." ”

Honda Tadashi heard this, grabbed the dragonfly in his hand, and then said: "I am here today to discuss with you, not to listen to your nonsense here!" After Honda Tadakatsu's words ended, the atmosphere between the two groups of people became even more tense, and both sides were tense for a while.

After hearing Honda Tadakatsu's words, the Hojo clan laughed and said, "If it weren't for the sincerity of you and others to come to discuss, I'm afraid that your heads would also be hung with Lin Xiuzhen's head." ”

Then the Hojo clan said again: "Three thousand guan can redeem Lin Xiuzhen's head, and if there is not enough food in the city, I can sell some of it to you, how about ten guan with one stone?" ”

Sabei nodded and said, "Three thousand kan is not a small amount, and we can redeem Sado Mamoru here!" ”

After hearing this, the Hojo clan turned his horse's head and said with a laugh: "Yes, when we meet again the day after tomorrow, the grain will be 30 times with one stone!" ”

Hearing this, Sabei grabbed Honda Tadakatsu and Fushiwa Akijiro and others beside him, and saw that the Hojo clan had gone away, so he immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards Makinoharaa Castle.

Sabei, who had returned to the castle, nodded to Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had come to inquire about the situation, and after Tokugawa Ieyasu understood, he encouraged the samurai and ashigaru who were guarding the castle walls, and walked towards Honmaru with a group of retainers behind him.

At this time, Zuo Bingwei showed the four characters he had written, "sacrificing his life for righteousness", to the remnants of Lin Xiuzhen under his command, and said with a solemn face: "You don't need to kill many enemy troops here, you only need to create a big chaos in the front of the Takeda army to attract the attention of the Takeda army, it is best to lead the Takeda army to attack, after the Takeda army attacked, you can't escape into the city, lead them as far away as possible; When it is done, I will save your lives! ”

After that, Sabei gave each of them a white cloth ribbon with this word written on it, and said, "Also, your new name now is 'Sacrifice Team'!" ”
