Chapter Seventy-Six: The Crocodile Cub of Tokaido
After listening to the words of the burning sky, Tokugawa Ieyasu got up and said with a smile: "Why does Mingshamen list me as a hero in the world? How dare I be in the same column as Nobunaga and Kenshin, Mingshamen don't have to laugh. ”
After hearing this, he glanced up at Tokugawa Ieyasu and saw a sturdy man not far away opening the folding fan in his hand and walking towards him. Burning Sky then said: "Your Highness Sanhe, do you know what the advantages of the heroes listed below are?" ”
After hearing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled and walked up to the burning sky, and said to the burning sky: "I naturally know, but the Meisha Gate included me in the list of Nobunaga Gong, what advantages do you see in this family?" ”
The conversation between Sakaku and Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately caused discussion among the two samurai of Oda and Tokugawa at the banquet. Ishikawa Shu looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu in front of him, turned his head to the middle-aged samurai beside him and said, "Lord Tadaji, what do you think?" After listening to Ishikawa Shumasa's words, the samurai said without any color on his face: "It's just a grandstander!" ”
Ishikawa Shumasa ate a soft nail in front of the samurai, so he had to say with an embarrassed but polite smile: "Oh, Tadaji-sama thinks so, but I think that he has listed the lord as one of the four heroes, and there will be a high opinion after that." ”
Sakuma Nobumori also chatted with Hijo Fanxiu, Lin Xiuzhen and others beside him, and Hijo Fanxiu and Lin Xiuzhen were not very familiar with the burning sky, so they asked Sakuma Nobumori: "Lord Nobumori, is Mingshamen saying this..."Sakuma Nobumori said with a smile after hearing this: "Don't worry, Mingshamen is not a reckless person, I'll wait and see!" ”
After a brief thought, Burning Sky said: "His Royal Highness Mikawa, although he only leads Mikawa and Omi, but he has stifled the Kamiluo Road in the Kanto region and even the Tohoku region, and the Higashiyama Road and Hokuriku Road are difficult, I don't need to say more, this is one of them; The warriors of the Three Rivers are brave and good at fighting is the foundation of His Royal Highness the Three Rivers, and this is the second; The wisdom and state of mind of His Royal Highness Sanhe can be glimpsed from the chess skills of His Highness Sanhe, and now the stability in the collar is the third; With these three, His Royal Highness Sanhe can be a hero in the world! ”
After Tokugawa Ieyasu and the samurai heard the words of the burning sky, they suddenly fell into silence. Tokugawa Ieyasu walked up to the sky and carefully studied the tall monk in black robe and white scarf in front of him. Then a voice came from among the samurai present: "If this is the basis, is it too child's play, the Western Gross Ori, sitting on the territory of the Ten Kingdoms, is a great name of a million stones, and you judge that this is not a hero?" ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky turned to the samurai who made the voice and said, "There are many of them and two, but there are few of the three, Ouchi, Niko, Asakura, Jianjing, etc., can there be people who have achieved things today?" ”
After Tokugawa Ieyasu heard the words of the burning sky, he smiled at the samurai and said, "Xiao Heiji, shall I wait to discuss the strategy against the enemy?" After that, he turned his head to the burning sky and said: "In the next is not the world's heroes, the world is the bag of His Royal Highness Oda, I have no intention of seizing the world, I don't know what plan you have against the enemy?" ”
After listening to Tokugawa Ieyasu's words, Burning Sky bowed his head and said: "I am a shallow learner in the lower ranks, and there is no good strategy for the enemy, I hope His Royal Highness Mikawa will forgive me!" ”
Honda Tadakatsu, who had been silent for a long time, said at this moment: "My lord, Nimata Castle cannot be lost, if Futama Castle falls, Hamamatsu Castle will face the Takeda family's soldiers, and I hope that the lord will send troops to aid Nimata Castle earlier." ”
After hearing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu's face moved slightly, and then he returned to the head and sat down, and said to the samurai: "The current army of this family is 6,000, plus the strength of Oda's army, a total of 9,000 people, I don't know who has a good plan to defeat 30,000 with 9,000?" ”
As soon as Tokugawa Ieyasu said this, the atmosphere of the banquet instantly cooled. Looking at the gloomy and uncertain faces of the samurai, Tokugawa Ieyasu said with a smile: "Don't worry, you have your own plan to break the enemy, okay, today's banquet will no longer talk about military affairs, come here, bring the ape music people up!" ”
Although the Sarugaku performed hard in the center of the banquet, it was obvious that the samurai's minds were no longer on this, but Tokugawa Ieyasu alone watched with relish. Although the current Tokugawa Ieyasu has a plan in his heart, he is a little too deliberate to imitate, and although Imagawa Yoshimoto is also a hero, he still has a gap compared to Takeda Shingen when it comes to military tactics. Oda Nobunaga can take advantage of the right time, place and people to defeat Imagawa's Joraku army in one fell swoop, but it doesn't mean that Tokugawa Ieyasu can also defeat Takeda Shingen.
Burning Sky sat at the bottom of the seat, observing Tokugawa Ieyasu while thinking about how to save his life. No matter how you look at it now, the Tokugawa family is unable to defeat Takeda Shingen's Shangluo army, and how to return from the chaos is the most important thing.
The banquet ended hastily in the absence of everyone, and Sakuma Nobumori took the Oda samurai and returned to the camp on horseback.
The next morning, he was woken up by the commotion outside, and when he went out with a sword, he learned that the Tokugawa family was being sent to support the forces of Futamata. Just as Burning Sky was sorting out his 100-man iron artillery team, Sakuma Nobumori's attendant rode to Burning Sky and said to Burning Sky: "The lord ordered you to lead the iron artillery team to assemble in front of Hamamatsu Castle!" ”
After hearing the news, Tokugawa Ieyasu felt that things were a little strange, why did Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly send troops to support Futama Castle again, if it was to support Nimata Castle, as soon as Oda's reinforcements arrived yesterday, they set off to support Futama Castle, why did Tokugawa Ieyasu only think of supporting Nimata Castle after one night, could it be that he had guessed wrong before, Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't want to imitate the battle of Barrel Sasama, there was another world in his heart?
Despite his suspicions, Burning Sky led his men to assemble at the foot of Hamamatsu Castle. After arriving at Hamamatsu Castle, Burning Sky saw that almost half of the reinforcements had come to assemble here. However, the Tokugawa family's army was only a few hundred people, which made Kanku feel extremely puzzled. After all the forces outside Hamamatsu Castle converged, Hayashi Hidezhen, who commanded Oda's 1,500 troops and more than 300 Tokugawa troops, gave the order to set off, while the Tokugawa family's hundreds of troops followed Oda reinforcements.
Burning the sky is even more confused now, at this time, a few meanings, isn't this less than two thousand people going to Futama City to send people's heads? And the Tokugawa army is walking behind the team, is it ready to sell his teammates and run away at any time? Thinking of this, Burning Sky turned his head to look at several colleagues around him, and found that the other samurai also had the same puzzled and puzzled faces as himself.
Seeing this, Lin Xiuzhen saw that all the warriors under him were confused, so he stopped the marching procession, gathered all the warriors and said to them: "According to the order of His Highness Mitsura, we don't need to enter Nimata Castle, we just need to show weakness to the enemy and retreat after engaging the enemy outside Nimata Castle. ”
Then Lin Xiuzhen said to several iron cannon generals and bow generals such as the burning sky: "You have to make a momentum when you arrive, you don't need to cherish the ammunition and arrows, and you will have your own supplies after returning to Hamamatsu City, once the Takeda army takes over, the iron cannon and bow and arrow cover the attack, after I give the order to retreat, follow the Tokugawa army behind to retreat, do you all understand?" ”
