As the curtain came down on the battle that decided the ownership of the Kanto region, the noisy battlefield finally had a hint of calm. In this great war, which was later called the Third Battle of Kokufutai, the Hojo Army was almost wiped out except for the escape of the Hojo clan from the battlefield, whether it was a sect like Hojo Phantom An, or a veteran like Tominaga Naokakatsu, or a new star like Yasuei Shimizu, three generations of people were wiped out in one day! As the descendant of the Hojo family said, the battle has been carried out to such an extent that it is no longer relevant whether the Hojo clan can escape or not.

When Tsukahara Molong, who was dressed in black, stepped on the battlefield full of corpses, he smelled a barbecue-like smell of meat, and couldn't help but look in the direction of Sanada Castle. Seeing the high-spirited Sanada Nobutsuna, Tsukahara Moryū smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You, you're really a money-burning lord!" ”

Sanada Nobutsuna was shocked when he heard this, this battle was indeed too expensive, not to mention the consumption of iron cannon ammunition, those fire oils were all bought from the Southern Barbarians, and this fire almost used up all the stocks of the Tsukahara Army.

"Okay, it's good to win, clean up the battlefield, the battle isn't over yet!" Tsukahara Moryū looked in the direction of Musashi Province from afar, and soon, a samurai Pegasus reported back, and he had successfully stopped the Hojo clan and forced him into a small fortress. "Okay, Nobutsuna, you take the monk's robe of Hojo Phantom and the saber of Tominaga Naokatsu and go to Kawagoe Castle to lobby Hojo Tsunari, and after you meet, you just need to say this......"

"Hah!" It was the proud Sanada Nobutsuna who responded to it, he already knew very well that Tsukahara Moryū had plans to help him up, and took advantage of this big victory to enter the river and cross the city, which can be said to be a meritorious feat through the ages!

After Sanada Nobutsuna left, Tsukahara Moryū's face was a little complicated, and he already knew about Imagawa Yoshimoto's death in the battle of Barrel Sayama. After Oda Nobunaga killed Imagawa Yoshimoto, the leaderless Imagawa army was suddenly in chaos, but fortunately, Taiyuan Yukisai commanded and dispatched in Okazaki Castle, which avoided a major rout on the whole front, but even so, Taiyuan Xuesai, who learned that Saito Michisan's division was going south, also knew that it was difficult to make contributions this time, so he had to arrange for the armies to cover each other and withdraw to the station. Although he did not capture too much in the pursuit, Oda Nobunaga not only recovered the lost territory, but also captured Bihai Prefecture in Mikawa Province, but was stopped by Taiyuan Yukisai on the Okazaki-Nishio line and could not continue to advance. In addition, Saito Michizo's attitude is difficult to understand, and if the army has been fighting in Mikawa Province for a long time, it is difficult to say whether Saito Michizo will do anything in Owari, so Oda Nobunaga retreated and returned to Owari, and so far, the high-profile Oda crusade came to an end. Instead of achieving the established strategic goals, the Imagawa family lost such a powerful governor as Imagawa Yoshimoto, but fortunately, the prestige of Taiyuan Xuezhai was also extremely high, so that the young Imagawa clan was able to ascend to the throne. It's just that the retainers of the wealthy clans of the Three Kingdoms of the East China Sea are becoming more and more difficult to dispatch, and Asahina Taineng, who was close to the head of the Imagawa family, died in battle, and the entire Imagawa family has a tendency to flourish and decline.

"It's still under control, but it's not as big as I expected," Tsukahara Moryū said with a seeming mutter.

But one of the guards beside Tsukahara Molong knelt down on one knee and said guiltily: "It's the dereliction of duty of his subordinates!" ”

"No, heavy, you've done your best." Tsukahara Molong shook his head, he could let Oda Nobunaga and Imagawa Yoshimoto bleed each other, and then exhaust themselves and lose both, of course, it was the best, and this situation was not unacceptable now. What's more important is that Imagawa Yoshimoto is dead, Taiyuan Xuezhai is seriously ill, and the Imagawa family, which is already a bit weak and strong, will definitely be even more declining in the future, and there will be more room for his own operation.

When Sanada Nobutsuna arrives at Kawagoe Castle, he finds that the situation in the castle doesn't seem to be as bad as he thought at first. Even if Sanada Nobutsuna already knew that in the Battle of Kunimine Castle, the main force of the Hojo Army was lost, and even Hojo Tsunade himself was almost cut down by Nagao Jinghu, but seeing the appearance of the army in the city, Sanada Nobutsuna was also shocked: Hojo Tsunade deserves to be a generation of famous generals!

Hojo Tsusunari didn't take any of the show, after learning that Sanada Nobutsuna was the messenger of Tsukahara Molong, he directly let him into the city to see him, and there was no sword and axe hand to demonstrate at the door, those are all small tricks that only reckless green forest characters can play, orthodox samurai like him naturally disdain this, or rather, he doesn't need it. When Sanada Nobutsuna saw Hojo Tsunari, he felt at first glance that this person didn't look great, just an ordinary middle-aged uncle, but the more he looked, the more frightened Sanada Nobutsuna became, the other party was not as sharp as a general, but as restrained as Tsukahara Molong, he sent and received freely, and immediately put away his contemptuous thoughts, and respectfully gave Hojo Tsunade a salute. "Sanada Nobutsuna has seen Hachiman-den!"

Hojo Tsunade did not answer immediately, but looked at Sanada Nobutsuna silently, and sighed for a long time: "Over there in Guofutai, the family has been defeated?" ”

"Exactly." Sanada Nobutsuna wanted to take a pinch and frustrate the other party's spirit, but Hojo Tsusunari was so frank and casual, but he changed his mind, he understood that the person in front of him, like Tsukahara Moryū, is a person who values reality far more than form, rather than vain words and end up being humiliated, it is better to get straight to the point. But Sanada Nobutsuna still clapped his hands, and the accompanying guards stepped forward with Hojo Phantom's monk's robe and Tominaga Naokatsu's saber, "They are all real samurai, and they fought for the Hojo family until the last moment, allowing the Hojo clan to escape." ”

"So what does Mo Long Gong want you to do?" Hojo Tsunari glanced at the relics of Hojo Phantom and the others, although there was no change in expression on his face, but there was a deep sadness in his eyes.

"Molong Gong said that Hachimanden, you are a hero of the world, and you are a first-class general in the Kanto region, I hope you can inherit the position of the governor of the Hojo family and be a minister in the same hall as the lower one." Sanada Nobutsuna carefully considered the words.

Hojo Tsunashi shook his head: "Master Phantom An, they all gave their lives for the Hojo family, I received the great favor of the three generations of Hojo family governors, how can I seize their position as family governors today?" ”

"So, Hachimanden still has to be loyal to the Hojo clan?"

"After all, he is the blood of the eldest brother, I can't bear him, please go back." Hojo Tsunari's tone is flat and decisive.

But Sanada Nobutsuna showed a scheming smile: "Hachimanden is really a loyal man, since this is the case, presumably in exchange for the life of the Hojo clan in exchange for this Musashi country, Hachimanden will not refuse, right?" ”

Hearing this, Hojo Tsunari's expression finally changed, and he looked at Sanada Nobutsuna with a bright eye, and Sanada Nobutsuna did not back down, and looked at Hojo Tsunada. "So, Edo Castle also fell into the hands of Molong Gong?"

"Everything is under the control of the lord." Sanada said with a smile.

Hojo Tsunari struggled for a moment, he knew that once he gave such an order, the Hojo family would completely lose the opportunity to dominate the Kanto region, which was more uncomfortable for Hojo Tsusunari, who was bent on recovering Hojo, than killing him, not to mention, in the future, when the Hojo clan returned, I am afraid that instead of thinking of his favor, he would want to get rid of him as a scapegoat. But what about rejection? Not to mention that this violates his consistent principles of life, even if he really refuses, can the current Musashi Kingdom be defended? At this moment, he realized that Tsukahara Molong is such a terrible person, and the conspiracy Tsukahara Molong will also, but Tsukahara Molong is undoubtedly the best at Yang Mou, the conspiracy is here, it is a person who knows it, but you have to jump into the pit!

"Okay, I promise you......"
