Chapter 107: The Verge

"Uh......" Sanada Nobutsuna rode on his horse, peeking at Tsukahara Moryū who was talking to Ota Shimasa next to him from time to time, but he was beating the drum in his heart. When he was young, his family was ruined, and he was forced to flee to Minowa Castle with his father, living a miserable life under the fence, and finally restored the old collar of the Sanada family. According to those novels and foot merchants, Tsukahara Molong is a Kanto magic dragon, a god who kills the world, but looking at this guy who is as gentle as jade, how can he look at it? Is Daddy being tricked?

"What are you thinking?" Tsukahara Senbei smiled and patted Sanada Nobutsuna's head pocket, due to the similar age, Tsukahara Senbei still has a good impression of Sanada Nobutsuna.

Sanada Nobutsuna hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's nothing!" Are we going to go to war when we get back? ”

Tsukahara Senbei glanced at Tsukahara Molong's back trustingly, turned his head to Sanada Nobutsuna and said, "Well, it's another opportunity to make a feat." ”

Sanada Nobutsuna couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: the samurai of the Tsukahara family were so eager to fight and make meritorious contributions, almost on par with the mountain monkeys of Kai. "That'...... Who are we fighting against? ”

"Fight the enemies of the lord." Tsukahara Senbei glanced at Sanada Nobutsuna, I thought that Tsukahara Molong's vision of people has always been very accurate, but I didn't expect to look away once, this little ghost's IQ is worrying, but it's better to dial it out, and it's likely that he will be a colleague in the future. "Shinzuna, what are your ambitions?"

"Ambition?" Sanada Nobutsuna's eyes gradually showed excitement: "My ambition is to protect my family and protect my younger brothers and sisters from being bullied!" Then he will open up a territory of a few thousand stones for his family, and marry a beautiful wife, and have many children......"

Expand your territory for a few thousand stones? The corners of Tsukahara Chibei's mouth couldn't help twitching, but since he was asking about Sanada Nobutsuna's own ambitions, it was really not good for him to comment on it, so he waited until Sanada Nobutsuna asked casually, "What about you?" At that time, Tsukahara Senbei couldn't help but glance back at the mountain behind him, where there was his hometown. I want to be the lord of a country and a city, and spread the heavens of the lord in all directions! ”

Lord of one country and one city! Sanada Nobutsuna instantly felt dizzy, Tsukahara Moryū's famous generals have come out in large numbers, whether it is Tsukahara Heiji and other family elders, or Sasaki Nagahide and other generals, they have all made great achievements, even if they want to be crowned the lord of a country and a city, Tsukahara Senbei has to be behind, but seeing Tsukahara Chibei's confident appearance, Sanada Nobutsuna no longer dares to imagine what level of achievements Tsukahara Molong will have in the future. At this moment, he somewhat understood the choice of his father Sanada Yutaka, if he wanted to restore his old collar and keep the Sanada family business, it was enough to be from the Takeda family, but if he wanted to ride the wind and clouds and go to the sky, he had to go out of Shishizukahara Molong.

Tsukahara Moryū didn't think of so many things, at this time his attention was all on the game of chess in Kanto, Uesugi Kenmasa was playing chess, Hojo clan was playing chess, anyone with ambition was playing chess, but chess players sometimes unknowingly became other people's chess pieces, this is an invisible fight, there is no sword and sword, but everything is used! If Uesugi Kenmasa wants to attack the Hojo family with confidence and boldness, he must contain the Tsukahara family, and the Oda family thinks that they have successfully encroached on the territory of the Tsukahara family by taking advantage of the civil strife in the Tsukahara family, and pulled the Satake family, the Utsunomiya family, and the Yuki family into the water to contain the Tsukahara family. And Tsukahara Molong is quietly waiting for the opportunity, piecemeal is not his style, this year Japan is full of cities, one by one to fight in the past to wait until the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue to unify, fight is the field, fight is the national war, bet on the national fortune, or don't fight, if you want to fight, you will fight until the other party will never turn over!

On the night after Tsukahara Ryū returned to the country, Tsukahara Muryu received a report from the ninja: the army led by Nagao Masaki suffered a landslide, and the sedan chair he was supposed to ride in was first bombarded by iron cannons, and then buried by rocks, and it took a lot of effort to dig up a bloody corpse.

"Duan Zang, you can go to the next step." Tsukahara Molong looked at the information, and the corners of his mouth showed a strange arc.

Soon after, the world-shattering news came that Tsukahara Muryu was killed in a landslide while passing through the mountains of Ueno Province on his way back. The Uesugi family sent a special person to investigate and came to the result, which was initiated by the Hojo family's wind demon shinobi, a brutal assassination against Tsukahara Moryu, and called on all righteous samurai to crusade against the Hojo family!

At the same time, the Tsukahara family broke out in large-scale turmoil because of the death of Tsukahara Molong, and even some wealthy families openly rebelled, but they were immediately exterminated by Zhou Dashuai and Sasaki Nagahide, but the unstable situation in the Three Kingdoms is becoming more and more intense. The Oda family, the Yuki family, the Utsunomiya family, and the Satake family, who learned of the death of Tsukahara Moryu, began a large-scale military mobilization in the territory, and an army of more than 37,000 people gradually gathered under Oda Castle, and everyone wanted to bite a piece of meat from the huge corpse of the Tsukahara family. Echigo's Nagao Keitora was furious and also announced a general mobilization within the territory to severely punish the murderer of Tsukahara Moryu. With Echigo in the back, although Uesugi Kenmasa also coveted the land of the Three Kingdoms, he still had to point his troops at the Hojo family as advertised before.

In the face of the amazing number of crusaders, the young Hojo clan showed the demeanor of a generation of heroes, while ordering the army to hurry up and prepare for battle, on the other hand, he ordered Hojo Phantom to go to the Takeda family and the Imagawa family to ask for help, although the situation was very tense, but the entire Odawara Castle did not see a trace of panic, and even the situation of "flying separately when the catastrophe was coming" that many people were worried about did not appear, and the entire Hojo family had been twisted into a rope and stubbornly challenged this shocking number of crusading troops.

Takeda Harunobu and Imagawa Yoshimoto naturally refused to sit idly by and watch Uesugi become bigger, but they lost their righteous status again, and the opposition within the collar also rose one after another, making it difficult to carry out a full mobilization. However, Takeda Harunobu and Imagawa Yoshimoto are both no less than the Hojo family's Yasu, even if there is a lot of resistance, they still sent reinforcements, because they know that the Hojo family still has to fight the tough battle by themselves, and the Takeda family and the Imagawa family will never make wedding dresses for others, but they must show their attitude of standing with the Hojo family, otherwise the Hojo family is likely to be unable to withstand the huge pressure. Takeda Harunobu ordered Takeda Nobushibo to lead 5,000 troops to meet with the Koyamada family's army, a total of 7,000 troops, and stationed in Hachioji Castle, preparing to cooperate with the Hojo clan to fight. Imagawa Yoshimoto ordered the retainer Asahina Taino to lead 8,000 troops to Odawara Castle to listen to the dispatch of the Hojo family, and a fierce battle of scale and space was about to begin.
