Chapter 155: A Difficult Choice
"Bastard! Do you want to ruin the Imagawa family? In the evaluation room of the Junfu, the important ministers of the Imagawa family were stunned to look at the weak young man in front of them whose cheeks were flushed with excitement, is this still the Imagawa clan who is obsessed with waka and keju?
It's none other than Imagawa Shin who is being reprimanded, it's Asahina Taino, who led the army to support the Hojo Army before, and he has always been calling for wind and rain with heavy power, when do you have to look at the eyes of others? At this time, he was angrily reprimanded by a junior like Imagawa Zhen, Rao is his psychological quality is excellent, and his face was also pale at this time, but what made him even more annoyed was that although Imagawa Yoshimoto and Taiyuan Xuezhai were also angry, they did not stop Imagawa Zhen's meaning, so he had to speak himself: "Where did the young master start with this?" ”
"The purpose of my family's original invasion of Kanto was to aid the Hojo Army and maintain the balance of power in Kanto, so why did you later bring troops to attack Edo? Once the Tsukahara family is at odds with the main family, how can the main family go all out to attack Owari? Imagawa shouted angrily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough he has always been friendly with Tsukahara Moryū, he has not yet reached the point of being swept away by reason, and Tsukahara Moryū's friendship with the Imagawa family does not rely solely on friendship, and more importantly, Toyoda Hansuke's Mizuyunya has been transfusing blood for the Imagawa family, supporting Imagawa Yoshimoto to launch a new policy, and training the standing army directly belonging to Imagawa Yoshimoto. However, the standing army created by Imagawa Yoshimoto from saving money from between his teeth was squandered by Asahina Taino in the first battle of Fuchu Castle and suffered heavy losses, but the army was alone at the beginning, and Imagawa Yoshimoto was not able to pursue Asahina Taineng. The siege of Edo Castle was a matter of Imagawa Yoshimoto and Taiyuan Yukisai's acquiescence in order to contain Tsukahara Moryū, and let Imagawa Shin mention this matter, just to find a reason to attack Asahina Tai.
Asahina Taino is naturally well aware of this matter, but the Imagawa clan is indeed true to the truth, and he can't refute it head-on, but he is not willing to open his mouth to give in, but said: "There will be a battle between the main family and Tsukahara Molong, he is determined to unify Kanto, but what about after the unification of Kanto?" Will he stop? I don't think so, he will continue to conquer the city, and his family occupies the land of the East China Sea, how can he let it go? Therefore, it was imperative to form an alliance with the Hojo family in order to defend the east side of the family, so that they could use all their forces against the west. ”
"If at the critical moment when the family is attacking Owari, Mo Longgong will use the troops of the Five Kingdoms to attack the Hojo family in the west, will the family save it or not?" Taiyuan Xuezhai, who had not spoken, suddenly asked, this is a sharp point, if Asahina Tai can save the Hojo family, then the army will have to withdraw, if not, Asahina Taineng's reputation will be ruined.
Seeing that Asahina Tai was speechless when asked, Taiyuan Xuezhai said with a smile: "This family can help the Hojo family delay the offensive of Molonggong, but it must not form an alliance with it to prevent it from falling too deep." ”
Imagawa Yoshimoto also smiled and said: "This is reasonable, if you don't have a better opinion, then it's good to reply to the Hojo family like this." So, ...... everybody" The smile on Imagawa Yoshimoto's face gradually faded, replaced by Moriran's murderous aura: "Please return to your own territory immediately and prepare for war, regardless of whether Mino's side intervenes or not, Owari Province must be included in the rule of this family!" ”
"Ha !!" Everyone responded with a bang, and although the retainers had different opinions on the matter of the Tsukahara family's diplomacy, everyone was very happy to attack Owari and increase their territory. After all, no matter how much you help the Hojo family, you can't get a territorial gift, but the benefits of attacking the Oda family are visible and tangible.
Although the Imagawa family's resolution was eventually passed, the quarrel became more violent in Kai, and the young lord Takeda Yoshinobu proposed an alliance with Tsukahara Moryū, which undoubtedly deviated from Takeda Harunobu's original intention. What made Harunobu Takeda even more unsettling was that the connection between Takeda Yoshinobu and Tsukahara Molong was much closer than that between Imagawa Shin and Tsukahara Molong. Toyota Hansuke's water rhyme house gave Takeda Yoshinobu financial support, and the Demon Dragon Society gave Takeda Yoshinobu military support, coupled with the fact that Takeda Yoshinobu would succeed him in the future, Takeda Harunobu's own arrangement, and the outstanding performance when he went to Musashi made the Kai generals return to their hearts, all of which made Takeda Yoshinobu gradually have the power to make Takeda Harunobu, a father, feel jealous.
Since ancient times, the eldest son of a generation of male lords is almost the saddest, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is eloquent, and his prestige is still talked about, but in his later years, he personally ordered the execution of the prince, Tang Taizong looked at the world, and the grand occasion of all countries coming to the dynasty is still yearned for, but his fourteen sons, three were killed, three committed suicide, three died early, one was "claustrophobic", and two were exiled. It's not that people who have achieved great things must kill their sons, but people who can achieve great things are almost very controlling, especially after they become famous, they become more and more powerful, and they are more and more unpopular and threaten their status, even if this person is his son! The sons of these people are also quite entangled, and if they develop quickly, they will easily arouse the jealousy of their fathers, and if they develop slowly, they will be killed by their brothers. It was because Takeda Harunobu won the hearts of the people in Kai that it aroused the jealousy of his father Takeda Nobuto, and the relationship between father and son gradually became estranged, and finally Takeda Nobuta Nobuki planned to exile Takeda Harunobu, but was driven away by Takeda Harunobu. Although Takeda Yoshinobu is still immature, he is already in the Takeda family, and the fullness of his wings makes Takeda Harunobu feel deeply uneasy.
Of course, the above are actually psychological factors, but the real trigger for the breakdown of the father-son relationship is the diplomatic attitude towards the Tsukahara family. Takeda Yoshinobu received great support from Tsukahara Molong, and when Toishi Castle was fought, the main force of the Takeda army was defeated, and the heroic posture of Tsukahara Moryū who resisted Murakami's iron cavalry left a deep impression on him when he was still in the age of worshipping heroes. At this time, Tsukahara Molong was sitting in the land of the Five Kingdoms, and Takeda Yoshinobu was naturally more inclined to form an alliance with Tsukahara Molong. And Takeda Harunobu and Takeda Nobuyobu are more inclined to the choice of Imagawa Yoshimoto, that is, to support the Hojo Army to pull Tsukahara Molong's hind legs, but not to fight head-on with the Tsukahara Army, and other strategic materials, ask for money for money, and for knives for knives.
Seeing that the lord and the young master began to quarrel, the generals of Kai also numb, and after looking at each other, they felt that there was a quarrel between their father and son, let's not join in the fun, after all, no matter who they stood on, they were offended, and when the father and son reconciled, they would suffer, so they looked down at the tatami mats, as if they could see a flower.
Just as the father and son were holding the cow, a person suddenly spoke, which made everyone in the entire assessment room change their faces.
"My lord, the top priority of this family is to attack North Shinano." Sanada Yutaka, who was sitting on the futon, was the first to say. Sanada Yutaka, who originally relied on the recommendation of Tsukahara Molong to enter the Takeda family, has shown extraordinary talent since then, especially the capture of Toishi Castle, which is a stroke of genius, and truly responds to Tsukahara Molong's words back then, "The talent is no less than Itagaki Nobukata and Ganli Hutai"! Since then, Sanada Yutaka, who has single-handedly presided over the mediation of the Northern Shinano wealthy family, has become more and more important in the Takeda family, although he is not an old family member at this time, but the entire Northern Shinano wealthy family is standing behind him. As we all know, Sanada Yutaka has a bad relationship with Tsukahara Molong, and his eldest son, Sanada Nobutsuna, is even more famous in Tsukahara Molong, and when he speaks at this time, he is undoubtedly making a strong name for Takeda Yoshinobu.
Takeda Yoshinobu was slightly stunned, on weekdays, Sanada Yutaka didn't have much contact with him, most of the time he worked silently and rarely spoke, but when he thought of the relationship between Sanada Yutaka and Tsukahara Molong, he immediately said: "Sanada Danzheng, please tell me in detail." ”
Takeda Harunobu and Takeda Nobushihiro's faces suddenly darkened, but Sanada Yutaka interjected when Shinano interjected, but he couldn't say anything, after all, there was Tsukahara Molong in Kanto, and it was difficult for the Takeda family to develop in Kanto again, and the best direction was North Shinano. However, the matter of the North Shinano strategy has reached the most critical stage, and when it looks like the fruit is about to be picked, if it offends Sanada Yukitaka, I am afraid that things will change.
Sanada Yutaka didn't mean the slightest bit of emotion, but said very calmly: "The matter of Kita Shinano has been prepared, but Echigo Nagao Keitor's attitude is unclear. ”
Everyone in the assessment room suddenly stagnated their breath when they heard the words, and they were worthy of Sanada Yutaka, who could choke people to death with a single sentence. The Kita-Shinano strategy was fully responsible for Sanada Yutaka, and he was introduced to the Takeda family by Tsukahara Moryu, and the relationship between Echigo's Nagao Keihu and Tsukahara Molong was even more well known, and once the Takeda family adopted a hostile strategy against Tsukahara Moryu, Nagao Keitor's attitude was difficult to say. If Nagao Jinghu supports Murakami Yoshikiyo, then even if the wealthy families below agree to rebel, they will have to change their hexagram due to strong external pressure, just like the Ninja City strategy back then.
