Chapter 90: The Nimata Castle Negotiations

Naito Masanari looked at the sword that had been untied, and whispered to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "My lord, is it too rude for the Takeda family to be like this. After hearing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu said to Naito Masasari: "Since we have arrived here, as long as we can rescue Heihachi and Jiemon and others, these rudeness will not hurt." ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky also spoke: "Lord Naito, now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, you don't have to care about this summary!" After saying that, he glanced at the mountain Changjing on the side, and said to Kamihara Yasumasa: "Lord Kamihara, His Highness Mihe, let's go in quickly, don't believe in Xuan Gong and wait for a long time!" ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kamihara Yasumasa nodded after hearing this, and Tokugawa Ieyasu said to Burning Sky and the others: "Shumasa, Yasumasa, Masanari, and Meishamon, let's enter the castle tower with Lord Katsuyori and meet Lord Shingen!" After that, Tokugawa Ieyasu took Naito Masari and others into the castle tower under the watchful eyes of Takeda Ma Huizhong.

Following in the footsteps of Naito Masanari at the back, Burning Sky bowed his head on the porch in front of the castle tower and entered the castle tower, which was full of samurai. Burning Sky bowed his head and entered the castle tower, and looked at the samurai sitting on either side of the castle tower with his spare eyes. Just as the Burning Sky was observing the Takeda samurai in the castle tower, Takeda Shingen, who was sitting at the top of the castle tower and was dressed in a wide robe, said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Ieyasu, I have agreed to what you said about the replacement of the three counties, but I have to add one more item, I don't know if you are willing to listen to it?" ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was already sitting in the castle tower, listened to Takeda Shingen's words, looked up at Takeda Shingen and said, "What does Shingen want to say?" I'd like to hear it. After listening to Tokugawa Ieyasu's words, the burning sky on the side glanced at Kamihara Yasumasa on the side, only to see that Kamihara Yasumasa did not react, just lowered his head and listened quietly. Seeing this, Burning Sky no longer looked around with his spare eyes, and began to calm down and listen carefully to the conversation between Takeda Shingen and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

After listening to Tokugawa Ieyasu's words, Takeda Shingen said to I, Takeda Katsuyori, "Shiro, you go and bring Honda Heihachi and Okubo Osamu Uemon." Takeda Katsuyori bowed to his father, then got up and walked out the door to pick up someone.

After Takeda Katsuyori walked out, Takeda Shingen said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Ieyasu, you only need to offer 8,000 koku of grain to the family, that's all." "After listening to Takeda Shingen's words, he didn't quite understand Takeda Shingen's plan, as the great name of the three kingdoms of Kai Shinano Suruga, what is the use of Takeda Shingen's 8,000 stone grain, is it still that the food supply in the Takeda army is insufficient?

Just when Burning Sky guessed what Takeda Shingen was planning, Tokugawa Ieyasu said to Takeda Shingen: "Shingengong's conditions have also been promised, and I hope that Shingengong can release Heihachi and Jiemon and others back to their own family!" At this time, Takeda Shingen said with a smile: "Don't worry, I heard that the warriors who desperately rescued you from Shiro's army this time are also coming with you, such a loyal and brave man, quickly look up and let me see it!" ”

After hearing Takeda Shingen's words, although he had a feeling that he had been debugged, he still bowed his head and said to Takeda Shingen: "Shin Xuangong, it's rude to you!" After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Takeda Shingen, who had already entered the Taoist family, and his head was bare, and his face was relatively pale. Takeda Shingen looked at the burning sky staring at him, laughed and said, "I am Takeda Derong Xuan Shingen, you don't have to look at it!" ”

As soon as Takeda Shingen said this, the whole person felt that his hairs were blown up, and countless small beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. Although the expressions of Yasumasa Kamihara and Tokugawa Ieyasu and others are not visible in the burning sky now, the burning sky can also guess a rough idea. It's just that Takeda Shingen's words were unintentional or intentional, which made Takeda Shingen's heart uneasy. Under the gaze of Takeda Shingen's eyes, Burning Sky felt that he was now facing a fierce tiger dominating the mountains and forests, and his inner thoughts were clearly peeked into by him.

Takeda Shingen saw that the burning sky was stunned in place, and said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Ieyasu, this person is not your retainer, right?" Burning Sky was awakened by Takeda Shingen's words, and heard Tokugawa Ieyasu say: "Shingengong, Ming Shamen is the Ming Kingdom Shamen of Nobunaga Gong. After listening to Tokugawa Ieyasu's words, Takeda Shingen's eyes once again rested on the body of the burning air.

Seeing the situation, Burning Sky bowed his head and said: "His Royal Highness Takeda, he is actually a monk of Liuquan Temple in Henan Chengxuan of the Ming Kingdom, but now he has become the lord. After Takeda Shingen's eyes were evaded, he was freed from the state of being seen in full view. Burning Sky felt the sweat on his forehead fall down his cheeks and onto the plank because of his bowing.

After listening to the words of the Burning Sky, Takeda Shingen smiled at the Burning Sky who bowed his head and said: "The monks of the Ming Kingdom, it seems that the Ming Kingdom is not a waste of military equipment, what is the position of the Ming Shamen in the Oda family today, and how many stones do you know?" After hearing this, he lowered his head and said to Takeda Shingen: "In the next day, I am now the head of Anyang Temple in my family, and I know three hundred and sixty stones. ”

After hearing this, Takeda Shingen laughed and said: "I don't know if Ming Shamen intends to go out of the family, I promise you to know how to do a thousand stones, and let the family be the general, how about it?" After hearing this, he didn't think much about it, after all, he was not the loyal and righteous god of war Kobayakawa, so he said directly to Takeda Shingen: "In the next month, it was all because of the great grace of the lord that he became a samurai, and he was appointed to the temple; Forgive me for being rude, and I can't accept the words of Xuangong! ”

After hearing this, Takeda Shingen laughed and said: "Sure enough, he is a loyal and brave person, or if he attacked the Oda family in Japan, if you intend to go out of the main family, everything I said before will be the same." After that, Takeda Shingen said to Takeda Katsuyori, who had already entered, "Shiro, this is the person who attacked your team and rescued Ieyasu from you. ”

Hearing Takeda Shingen say this to Takeda Katsuyori, Burning Sky suddenly felt that things had a little subtlety, judging from the violent temper of Takeda Katsuyori in history, it is very likely that he will be retaliated against by Takeda Katsuyori today. However, after Takeda Katsuyori brought Honda Tadaji and Okubo Tadasa into the castle tower, he just glanced at the burning sky and said to Takeda Shingen: "My lord, soldiers are the way of impermanence, and victory and defeat are also impermanent, and I already know where I am defeated. After that, Takeda Katsuyori bowed his head to the burning sky and said, "Thank you for letting me understand the way of being a general again." ”

At this time, not only was his face confused, but his heart was also confused, is this Takeda Katsuyori? Why didn't you make it difficult for yourself, forcing yourself to learn martial arts with him or something.

After listening to Takeda Katsuyori's words, Takeda Shingen then said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Now that Honda Heihachi and Okubo Jiemon have been brought, and the heads of the rest of the captured samurai and samurai are also in Nimaru, Ieyasu remembers to transport 8,000 stone of grain to Nimata Castle within ten days, so you can retreat!" With that, Takeda Shingen's face suddenly turned rosy, and Takeda Shingen immediately got up and left the castle tower quickly accompanied by his attendants and Takeda Katsuyori.
