Chapter 356: Please enter the urn

After listening to Sabei's warning, the mood of the surrounding retainers gradually eased. Sabei stepped forward again and said: "Unless revenge is not revenge, it is not a good time, and now this family must become stronger in order to deal with the chain reaction brought about by revenge." ”

Everyone listened to Sabei's words and nodded slowly, and then Fushiwa Akijiro spoke: "My lord, the army of nearly 20,000 and Takeda Katsuyori are facing off here, if the Hojo clan invades Suruga Province, what should we do?" ”

Hearing this, Sabei nodded, and after communicating with the retainers, he walked alone towards Oda Nobunaga's main camp.

Sabei, who had some concerns, walked into Oda Nobunaga's main camp and found that he was not alone in coming to advise, and several generals gathered in Oda Nobunaga's main camp, and bowed their heads with serious faces to tell Oda Nobunaga about the disadvantages of the long battle and the possible changes of the Hojo clan.

After Sabei entered the main camp, he silently sat in the last position, listening to Sakuma Nobumori's advice to Oda Nobunaga.

It didn't take long for Hideyoshi to stride into Oda Nobunaga's main camp, but when he saw that all his colleagues were there, he immediately bowed his body to show respect for Oda Nobunaga and the others.

Sabei looked at the Takenaka Hanbei who was sitting opposite, and the Takenaka Hanbei at this time had the same face as usual, and he didn't respond to Sakuma Nobumori's criticism at all, and he still had a calm face.

Seeing this, Sabei also had some speculation in his heart, and it seemed that Takenaka Hanbei still had a corresponding plan after it. I came to advise this time, and it seems that I am going to end without a problem.

The half-soldier of Takenaka on the opposite side saw that Sabei was looking at him, and just politely bowed his head back, and when Sabei realized his strength, he immediately bowed his head and apologized. Some enemies don't need to be put on the bright side, revenge, naturally it is better to stab the knife in secret.

Sakuma Nobumori said a lot of things in front of Oda Nobunaga, but in the end, Oda Nobunaga said, "I know!" "Send it away.

Seeing this, Sabei and the other generals felt that it was not much use to stay, so after Sakuma Nobumori left with a decadent expression, they also left the main camp one after another.

Sabei, who had returned to his station, sat on a large wooden stake, his eyes looking in the direction of the Takeda Army, thinking about the possible next strategy of the Takenaka Hanbei.

Originally, after inflicting heavy losses on the Takeda army at Sunpu Castle, he should either stop all actions against the Takeda clan and consolidate the Oda family's rule in Suruga Province, or he should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Huanglong. Since you have chosen to pursue the victory, why did you stagnate in Downhill City? Although Fujido Takatora speculated on the intentions of the Takenaka Hanbei, this so-called ploy put the Oritoku coalition in a dilemma.

Now the 5,000 troops of Takeda Katsuyori are facing off here, and once the Hojo clan invades Suruga Province, the Oritoku coalition forces have to retreat from the confrontation to protect the rule of Suruga Province, but will Takeda Katsuyori easily let go of the Oritoku coalition army? Moreover, Oda Nobunaga's rule in Suruga Province has no foundation at all, and it is quite likely that the wealthy families of the countrymen who are well versed in survival will defect.

Thinking of this, Sabei rubbed his temples, but heard a sound coming from the direction of the Takeda Army.

Sabei got up and looked at the Takeda Army's formation, and it seemed that the Takeda Army couldn't sit still.

Oda Nobunaga also commanded his troops to meet the enemy at the first time of the Takeda army's operation, but Takeda Katsuyori did not send Akabi to raid as soon as he came up, but instead fired iron cannons and bows and arrows with the Oritoku coalition army in the distance.

At this time, a cavalry team suddenly rushed out of the Takeda army and moved towards the left flank of the Weaving German coalition army. As the general of the Einsatzgruppen, Sabei naturally watched this cavalry team closely.

Seeing this cavalry team coming from the left flank, Fushiwa Meijiro immediately said to Sabei: "My lord, I am willing to lead the army to defeat this cavalry team!" ”

After hearing this, Sabei shook his head, then pointed at the Takeda Army and said: "The whole army of the Takeda Army is gathering to the right, this cavalry team is a bait, if you want to induce the Einsatzgruppen to attack, so as to attack the left flank of our army, we must not be fooled!" ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Oda Nobunaga to send a horse back to convey the order: don't attack rashly, wait for the order!

The cavalry of the Takeda Army failed to draw out the Einsatzgruppen of the Sabei Army, and had to linger on the left flank of the Oritoku coalition army, looking for other opportunities.

However, Oda Nobunaga obviously did not give the Takeda army any chance, and the two armies did not further expand the scale of the war after several attempts, which made Sabei somewhat unexpected.

If it is said that the Takeda Army does not dare to attack rashly, it is easy to understand, after all, the Takeda Army at this time has no capital to waste, and it is inevitable to act carefully; However, in addition to the 10,000 people who confronted Takeda Katsuyori, the Weaving Coalition Army still had four formations besieging under Shimoyama Castle. With Oda Nobunaga's courage, he would not give up such an opportunity to defeat the Takeda army in one fell swoop, and this situation made Sabei more and more incomprehensible.

Sabei, who originally thought it would be a big battle, did not get his wish, and the Oritoku coalition army and the Takeda army both withdrew their troops after testing each other.

Then something happened that Sabei did not expect, Oda Nobunaga, after testing with the Takeda army, actually ordered the whole army to retreat.

Sabei's head was even more confused after receiving the order, what the hell was going on. Oda Nobunaga didn't summon the generals to discuss, but gave the order directly.

In order to avoid mistakes in the chaos, Sabei naturally did his best to restrain the strength of his troops, and at the same time sent someone to ask Oda Nobunaga why he suddenly retreated.

When Fushiwa Akijiro, who had been sent to inquire about the news, returned, his face was slightly pleased, and he handed Oda Nobunaga's handwritten letter to Sabei, who was patrolling around the area.

Sabei looked at the ink that had been dry for a long time, and then read the contents of the letter, Sabei folded it up and put it in the pouch on his waist, smiled and said: "Although this plan is exquisite, the Takeda Army may not be easy to take the bait!" ”

As a result, not long after, Oda Nobunaga's horse returned to convey the news to Sabei: the Takeda army had converged with Anayama Nobukun in Shimoyama Castle to pursue the coalition forces with all their might, and Hashiba Hideyoshi and Sakuma Nobumori were blocking the attack of the Takeda army.

Sabei's face turned cold, a few traces of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and when Fushiwa Mingjiro and Suzuki Heavy Industries on the side saw this, they immediately whispered to Sabei: "Lord, revenge is not in a hurry, the lord must be calm now, don't panic!" ”

Hearing this, Sabei looked at the two of them, although the two of them would be wrong, but with this loyal minister, why can't they get a piece of the pie in this battle.

I was surprised that Takenaka Hanbei's interpretation of people's hearts was really powerful, and this strategy first created a scene where the Oritoku coalition army was afraid of the whole army and did not dare to press on it, so that Takeda Katsuyori and the Takeda generals mistakenly thought that the Oritoku coalition army was worried about the sudden attack of the Hojo clan and was in a dilemma.

Thinking of this, it seems that his intelligence network is still too weak, and in the area far away from Wakasa, he is simply blind and knows nothing. It was up to Oda Nobunaga and Oda Nobutada to convey the message to him.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga suddenly retreated after a tentative attack, which was a verification of Takeda Monarchy's assumption, Takeda Monarchy, who was almost in a desperate situation, saw this scene, how could he not be moved, defeat the Oda army that fled in the desert and recover Suruga Province, and wash away the shame of losing his territory, this is something Takeda Katsuyori dreamed of accomplishing, Takenaka Hanbei put this opportunity in front of Takeda Katsuyori, will Takeda Katsuyori let go of this opportunity?

It seems that there is an order to come down immediately, let himself and the other troops who retreat first form an ambush, and prepare to wipe out the pursuing Takeda army, so that the name of the "wise general" of the Takenaka Hanbei is indeed not false.
