"The 800 troops of the Cave Mountain family have arrived!"

"The 900 troops of the Koyamada family have arrived!"

"The Ganley family's 750 army has arrived!"

"The Itagaki family's 700 troops have arrived!"

"A family of 800 troops has arrived!"

………………

Harunobu Takeda, whose eyes were slightly closed, sat on the maza, listening to the report of the Baba Nobubo, and smiled proudly. Since the fiasco of the Uedawara battle, the Takeda family can be said to have suffered a great injury, if it weren't for the death battle of Iitomi Huchang in Minami Shinano and the defense of this place, I was afraid that my ten years of work would be ruined, and I made a wedding dress for Murakami Yoshikiyo in vain. Therefore, although the combat power has been greatly damaged, the territory under his rule has increased from 220,000 stones to 430,000 stones in one go! Although the Anayama family and the Koyamada family, which were important forces of the Takeda family, were unable to exert their full strength because they had to defend against the Imagawa family and the Hojo family, with the support of Kanayama, the number of troops he mobilized this time reached 15,000. Such frequent intra-collar mobilizations are almost impossible in the eyes of other daimyos, but I, Harunobu Takeda, have done it!

After the Imagawa family annexed Mikawa Province and became one of the strongest daimyo in the world, Takeda Harunobu had a sense of urgency: although the Hojo family was attacked by Tsukahara Molong in the night battle of Ninja City, and the famous generals of the important ministers were killed countless times, but there was no loss in the grassroots combat power, and they were still behemoths across Izu, Sagami, Kamiso, Musashi, and Shimono; The Oda family in the west, under the command of the family governor Oda Nobuhide, and the Imagawa family faced off against Kodozaka twice, and they actually fought on an equal footing with Imagawa Yoshimoto with the power of Owari Ichikuni. In addition, the height of the Owari National Stone is 540,000 koku, and it is not easy to capture it. In this case, although I am friendly with Imagawa Yoshimoto, I can no longer lick the wounds of the Uedawara battle with peace of mind, and I must show the Imagawa family and the world that my Takeda family's military might has not only recovered from the Uedawara battle, but also better than before!

"Kansuke, is there anything going on with that guy in Murakami?"

Kansuke Yamamoto, who was accompanying him, immediately replied respectfully: "Right now, the main force of the Murakami family is fighting to the death with Takanashi Masanori, although Takanashi Masanori's troops are not as strong as Murakami, but there is a strong city to defend, and it is difficult for the Murakami family to attack it urgently." What's more, Takanashi Masayori's territory is close to Echigo, and that long-tailed Jinghu is afraid that he won't sit back and watch the Murakami family reach out to the door. ”

"Very good, in this way, I can rest assured that I can attack Kita-Shinano, and the mountain road in Kita-Shinano is rugged, even if the Murakami family wants to return to support, they have to weigh whether they will be ambushed and pursued." Takeda Harunobu got up and said domineeringly, just when Takeda Harunobu felt good about himself, a commotion caught his attention. But just glanced at it, and it was even more proud: battle flag hunting, all red armor, terrifying samurai proportions, luxurious ashigaru equipment, and the chief fierce general of the Takeda family, Iitomi Torama, this is my Takeda Harunobu's direct troops: Takeda Akabi!!

Seeing the eight hundred red preparations driving in like a rainbow, the governor of the Koyamada family, the Koyamada Nobuyu, and the Cave Mountain family and the Cave Mountain Nobuyo, all changed their faces slightly,

The other generals of the Takeda family were shocked by the military might of the Red Reserve Army, and secretly wondered when did my Takeda family have such an elite?

Just after everyone watched the Red Reserve pass by, there was a commotion at the camp gate again, and just when the generals of the Takeda family thought that there was still a Red Reserve Team, they found that only a few people came, but the bright and blind equipment made everyone stunned. It was Tsukahara Molong and his party who came.

Seeing the arrogant behavior of Tsukahara Molong and his party, Takeda Harunobu's face changed, but in the end he seemed to be relieved.

Tsukahara Molong did not go to the place where Takeda Harunobu was discussing, and he was considered a supernumerary member of the Takeda family, not even a samurai of the Takeda family. On the contrary, it was Fan Fu Changjing who came over with a look of envy, and the troops under his command were commanded by his brother Fan Fu Huchang, and he was not qualified to participate in the military conference now.

Several people chatted for a long time about the expedition, and Takeda Harunobu finally finished handling military affairs and announced the dispatch of troops to Kita-Shinano. However, Tsukahara Molong found Harunobu Takeda.

"Your Excellency, the Pavilion."

"Well, Molong, this time I am determined to succeed in Kita-Shinano, so I want to take Taro to experience it. But Madame is not at ease with Taro, so I want to ask you to take care of his safety. Takeda Harunobu was not hypocritical, and directly explained what he meant.

Tsukahara Molong was also very aware of Takeda Harunobu's concerns, so he took it very happily, and he didn't plan to lead the army in this North Shinano expedition. "Lord of the Pavilion, His Royal Highness the General and Master have both sent letters urging me to go to Nijo Castle, so after this battle, I have to take my leave."

Hearing this, Takeda Harunobu's eyes immediately widened: Just kidding, how could such a peerless fierce general be let go so easily? But...... It doesn't seem like there's much use in keeping him. I don't plan to reuse him, and I just told him that he doesn't have to go to the front line, just protect my son in the back...... Killed? The question is, can it be killed? Dozens of warrior ninjas besieged and killed him, and all of them were cut down by him for more than thirty by himself, not to mention that since then, the gang around Tsukahara Molong has not left an inch, and their vigilance is very high, it is too difficult to assassinate, at least with the current ninjas of the Takeda family, it is impossible to do it.

After struggling inwardly for a long time, Takeda Harunobu squeezed out a smile: "That's a pity." ”

Not to mention how Harunobu Takeda struggled, Tsukahara Moryū once again took on the job of taking Xiao Zhengtai. Takeda Yoshinobu was only 12 years old at this time, but because he had been cultivated as the heir of the Takeda family and had no friends, he had a somewhat closed personality, of course, this was a steady performance in the eyes of the Takeda family's retainers, but he was praised for it. Since Tsukahara Molong became his teacher, Xiao Zhengtai's life has changed drastically, making Takeda Harunobu want to withdraw Tsukahara Molong several times. Without him, Tsukahara Molong often took Takeda Yoshinobu out to play under the pretext of asking Takeda Yoshinobu to understand kendo from heaven and earth, and a few times he was crazy to play, and he came back late, almost scared Takeda Harunobu and Yamamoto Kansuke to death, and sent all the ninjas to find Takeda Yoshinobu at that time, but the news he got was that he was squatting by the river with Tsukahara Molong to eat the grilled fish he caught, or buy chickens from a farmer's house, and then squat in the woods to roast and eat......

Takeda Harunobu glared at this angry beard, and even specially tried to withdraw Tsukahara Molong in the name of testing Takeda Yoshinobu's martial arts, but he didn't expect that none of the people with the surname around him could beat Takeda Yoshinobu who had been trained by Tsukahara Molong, so Takeda Harunobu was very depressed. Fortunately, Takeda Yoshinobu's mother, Mrs. Sanjo, has always been very opposed to Takeda Harunobu's education method, and when she saw Takeda Yoshinobu and Tsukahara Molong together, she could show a sincere smile, so she continued to enlighten Takeda Harunobu. Under the attack of the pillow wind, Takeda Harunobu had no choice but to let it go.

"Master!" Yoshinobu Takeda, dressed in military uniform, suddenly jumped out from behind a grain truck and said with a grin. If Iitomi Huchang was here, he would definitely be glared at and reprimanded him for not being calm enough, but Tsukahara Molong smiled and patted his head, took out a golden oval object from his arms, and there was a ticking sound, "This armor worn by Yoshinobu is really majestic, come, this pocket watch is for you!" ”

"Pocket watch?" Takeda Yoshinobu looked excited, and took it at once, "Is this what Master said about the pocket watch that can read the time?" ”

"Well, I bought it from the Nanban people passing by on the other side of Suruga."

"Suruga is really prosperous." Yoshinobu Takeda, who was still a child, was very curious about new things, and although the people of Kai were brave and good at fighting, due to the geographical location, commerce had not been too developed, so it could not be compared with Suruga.

"How many soldiers and horses does Master have to command this time?" Takeda Yoshinobu asked expectantly, novels about the night battle of Ninja City have been seen everywhere in Suruga, so Takeda Yoshinobu has also gotten a lot, and he admires Tsukahara Molong's good battles very much.

Tsukahara Moryū smiled and patted Takeda Yoshinobu's little head, "What I pursue is kendo, and I won't interfere in these things anymore." This time, I sent troops with the hall master, for you. ”

"Me?"

"That's right, you're a disciple of my Tsukahara Moryun, and I will never allow anyone to hurt you. But I'm not going to command every soldier of the Takeda family, do you understand? ”

Takeda Yoshinobu was quite disappointed, but he was also very moved: "Master didn't want to fight anymore, but for the sake of Yoshinobu, he still came to the battlefield......"
