Sabei, who had read the ledger, walked back to the office and came to Hasegawa Shuichi's house. Shuichi Hasegawa, who was dealing with a dispute among the townspeople, looked up at Sabei and smiled at Sabei when he saw Sabei come in, and asked, "I wonder what happened to Sabei?" ”

Sabei then said to Hasegawa Shuichi: "Lord Hasegawa, why did the lord leave another batch of grain, grass and armaments, and the amount is not too small!" ”

After listening to Sabei's words, Hasegawa Shuichi put down the brush in his hand, got up and said to Sabei: "Sabei, it's good that you know about this matter, you don't have to make a noise, the lord has the heart to cooperate with His Royal Highness Mikawa to let Takeda Katsuyori suffer a secret loss in Takatenjin City!" ”

After speaking, Shuichi Hasegawa smiled again and said, "Sabei, your good days are over!" ”

After hearing this, Sabei nodded, bowed his head to Shuichi Hasegawa, and walked out of Shuichi Hasegawa's house.

Sure enough, on the afternoon of the day Oda Nobutada sent troops to Higashimino, Sabei was called to the castle hall by Oda Nobunaga.

After a few moments, Sabei walked out of the castle hall with a sad face. When Heiji Saki, who was waiting for Sabei outside the castle hall, and the other four attendants saw Sabei come out, they immediately stepped forward to salute Sabei, and then followed Sabei to Ninomaru's house.

Sabei, who returned home, appeased his wife, who learned that he was going to fight, and then wrote a handwritten letter, stamped his black private seal, and ordered Fushiwa Meijiro to return to Wakasa with the letter to transfer troops.

Yamashita Shinsuke officially took over Sabei's work in the commission, and was left in the office by Sabei to continue to assist Hasegawa Shuichi on the grounds of examination and study.

After seeing off Akijiro Fushiwa, who was dressed as a horse, Sabei sat on the ground in front of his house and looked up at the pale blue sky. The air currents disturbed by the butterflies were finally about to turn into hurricanes, and in the third year after Sabei arrived in Japan's Sengoku period, the more violent collision between the Takeda family and the Oda family was about to take different forms.

Just when Sabei was sitting in front of the door in a daze, Ming Wei Xiu inside the door was looking at her husband outside the door with a gentle gaze like water. The maid beside her saw that the corners of the hostess's eyes were a little moist, and hurriedly handed over the silk scarf, but the hostess took it and walked out of the door. The maid who reacted immediately caught up with the hostess's pace and reached out to support the pregnant hostess, but was gently pushed away by the hostess.

Sabei, who felt a slight fragrance behind him, looked back and wanted to probe, and his eyes just merged with his wife.

Seeing this, Sabei got up with a smile, patted the dust on his body and said, "Ah Xiu, you..."

Ming Weixiu smiled and stretched out his hand to cover Sabei's mouth, and then said in his ear, "My lord, can you accompany me to Gifu Town?" ”

Sabei nodded, grabbed his wife's arm, turned his head and said to the maids and attendants behind him, "Still not keeping up?" ”

The husband and wife snuggled up to each other and talked about the things in the town, while the maids followed closely behind their masters, and the attendants stared nervously at the crowd around them, and their swords could be unsheathed at any time.

Finally, in the evening, Sabei and his wife returned to Yashiki hand in hand. After entering the house, the attendants who were tossed a lot moved their arms, telling their expectations for sending troops to Yuanjiang.

Sabei and Ming Weixiu sat on the mat in the living room, and after staring at each other for a few breaths, Ming Weixiu suddenly smiled and said: "Sabei, this trip is much more dangerous than my brother's eastward march to recover Dongminon, don't you have anything to explain?" ”

Sabei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "Although this trip is dangerous, it is far from the point of danger, and it is still possible for the family to unite with Lord Mikawa Mamoru and fight with the Takeda family." ”

"Five-five?"

"Ahem, that's about the same."

After waiting for a few days at Gifu Castle, Fushiwa Akijiro arrived at Gifu Castle with 500 people from Kunikibi. Looking at the seven or eight people such as Suzuki Heavy Industries and Kaima Yoshike, who were missing from the retainers, Sabei nodded at Fushiwa Akijiro. After receiving Oda Nobunaga's approval, Sabei said goodbye to his wife in Yashiki, leaving ten close guards, and he took his subordinate Kunikibi to Owari in the direction of Owari.

After Owari joined forces with the 5,000 troops led by Hayashi Hidesada, Hirate Hirohide, and Sakuma Nobumori, the Oda reinforcements that had supported Tokugawa Ieyasu marched towards Hamamatsu Castle again.

On the way, Sabei and Hayashi Hidesada had a heated discussion about the Oda family's counterattack against the Takeda family, while Hikute Fanhide and Sakuma Nobumori bowed their heads and remained silent.

Sabei, who was a little tired of chatting, turned his gaze at Hitei Fanxiu and Sakuma Nobumori after leading the conversation to Lin Xiuzhen. Pingshou Fanxiu, who was stabbed by Sabei's gaze, looked up at Sabei who nodded, pulled out a smile and said: "I escaped from the mouth of the Takeda Army tiger before, thank you Sabei for saving me!" ”

Lin Xiuzhen, who was talking about the recent situation of the Takeda Army, heard the words of the draw Fanxiu, smashed her lips, and set her eyes on the flat Fanxiu and Sabei.

Seeing this, Sakuma Nobumori on the side only looked up at the three of them, and then continued to bow his head and remain silent.

After nodding his head, Sabei asked at Hirata Fanxiu, "Does Hirate-sama know about the situation in the Takeda Army?" ”

After hearing this, Pingshou Fanxiu nodded to Sabei and Lin Xiuzhen, who stretched out his head, and then said to the two: "Although the Takeda army has not sent troops to attack the city for the time being, the army of the Suruga country has gathered under the castle of Sunfu, there are about 20,000 people, Koshu and Shinshu have not moved for the time being, but it is also quite convenient for the Koshu army to help Yuanjiang, and Shinshu should not act rashly for a while, after all, the Uesugi family still needs to be on guard at all times!" ”

After hearing this, Sabei nodded, but heard Lin Xiuzhen say: "The Takeda army has 20,000 men in Suruga, including 2,000 in the Suruga Navy and 3,000 in the Hojo Army. ”

After hearing this, Fan Xiu frowned, and asked Lin Xiuzhen, "Lord Lin, the Hojo family also wants to participate?" ”

Lin Xiuzhen snorted coldly after hearing this, and said to the two: "The Hojo family took advantage of the strength of Odawara Castle to resist the two attacks of the Uesugi family and the Takeda family, so they thought that they could be proud of the Kanto, but they didn't know that Takeda Shingen betrayed the alliance a few years ago, and now he wants to unite with Takeda, which is really ridiculous." ”

After hearing this, Sabei and Hitete Fanxiu did not answer Lin Xiuzhen's words, but just nodded, and then changed the topic and began to speculate on the military situation that the Tokugawa family could mobilize.

Soon after the march, Sabei saw the face he had just seen the other day. After greeting the four of them, Yasumasa Kamihara led his team to join the Oda army, and walked towards Okaki Castle with the Oda army.

On the way, Yasumasa Kamihara shared with the four of them a more detailed situation of the Takeda Army, 3,000 Koshu troops, more than 10,000 Suruga troops, as well as 2,000 Suruga Naval Troops and 3,000 Hojo Troops, and there are thousands of troops in Koshu that can be mobilized.
