Harunobu Takeda, who was far away on Kawanaka Island, was asking the monks to do more for the soldiers who died in battle, but the news from Kai Shinobu made him fall into an ice cellar: Hachioji Castle fell overnight, the Oyamada clan was almost wiped out, and a cavalry team was wiped out.

In just a few days, the Takeda family lost four senior ministers of the family: Takeda Nobushi, Mokaku Huding, Oyamada Nobutomo and Ichijo Tadadairi. Rao is Takeda retainers, no matter how thick the foundation is, Takeda Harunobu also feels that the world is spinning. After all, the old man is not a cabbage on the side of the road, you can grab a handful at will, these people not only have a powerful force in their hands, but they are also capable and experienced people, which can be taken out alone, and it is by no means something that can be replaced by a few young people promoted in the line of fire. What's even worse is that three of these four people are members of the Takeda family, which is not as important as the old Yamamoto Kansuke. This means that the Takeda family's ability to control the territory will fall into an unprecedented period of weakness!

According to Takeda Harunobu's original plan, even if he attacked Nagao Jinghu, the hinterland of the Takeda family and Tsukahara Molong were still separated from the entire Musashi Kingdom, and if Tsukahara Molong wanted to find the field, he could only send troops from Kunimine Castle and fight with him in Kita-Shinano. He can use the outrageous city network of Kitashinano to wear down the Tsukahara army little by little, and force Tsukahara Molong to compromise. As for the fact that the North Shinano wealthy family must be cannon fodder in the process, everyone knows it, needless to say, it is too explicit.

But in order to redeem the Hojo clan, Hojo Tsunashi ceded the entire Musashi country to Tsukahara Molong, which instantly blinded Takeda Harunobu, and the fall of Hachioji Castle meant that Tsukahara Molong could personally lead the main force to sit in Musashi Province, threaten the hinterland of Kai, force Takeda Harunobu to stay behind, and then order a general to lead the army to attack North Shinano. What's more, if they can sell Murakami Yoshikiyo, they can naturally sell themselves, among them, the Sanada family is very fatal.

Thinking of this, Takeda Harunobu immediately ordered someone to find Sanada Yukitaka, and in the surprised eyes of the other party, he threw the information from Toba Shinobu in front of Sanada Yukitaka.

Sanada Yutaka, who didn't know why, was slightly stunned, and after picking up the information, he glanced at it roughly, and the cold sweat on his face suddenly came down, when it came to wielding a knife and slashing people, he may not be very good at it, but his head was still very bright, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said in fear: "In this way, I am afraid that the family can only make peace with Tsukahara Molong." ”

Takeda Harunobu who was about to say something was almost choked to death by Sanada Yutaka , not only did this thing not put himself aside and show loyalty to the Takeda family, but also swaggered to suggest peace with Tsukahara Molong, you ...... Takeda Harunobu raised the military equipment in Yang's hand, but in the end, he still didn't make up his mind to let the samurai who was ambushed outside the tent cut down Sanada Yukitaka. Because Takeda Harunobu himself knows very well that even if the Takeda family loses two family elders and a fortress at this time, what can it do? The main army that he brought out to fight with the long-tailed Jinghu was not only mixed with dragons and snakes, and it was in urgent need of rectification, but also the troops of his own lineage could be said to have suffered heavy losses, and there were already some signs that they could not be suppressed. Once the war with Tsukahara Molong is announced, I am afraid that without Tsukahara Molong attacking, the troops themselves will disperse. He needed time to re-settle the Takeda family before he had the strength to start the war again. At this time, if Sanada Yukitaka is chopped up, then the Hokushinano clan led by the Sanada family is afraid that they will rebel immediately. And at present, the only person who can talk to Tsukahara Molong is the Sanada family......

Takeda Harunobu really realized what it means to knock out a tooth and swallow it in his stomach, so he could only soothe Sanada Yutaka with his aggrieved words and let him be responsible for making peace with Tsukahara Molong.

After sending Sanada Yutaka away helplessly, Takeda Yoshinobu and Iitomi Toramasa also walked in, and both of them also got some news, but they were also surprised to learn that a fortress like Hachioji Castle didn't even stop Tsukahara Molong for a day, and it was captured that night.

Although Iifu Huchang has the heart to fight, he also knows very well that the Takeda family really can't afford to fight at this time, "Lord, although Molong Gong will not give up, but the Hojo family has not yet perished, so he will not go all out to deal with his own family, he can only deter." ”

Takeda Harunobu nodded, he also knew very well that Tsukahara Molong's biggest enemy at the moment was not himself, but the Hojo family who had retreated to Odawara Castle, and if he didn't solve this elbow problem, it would be difficult for Tsukahara Molong to draw enough troops. "But Tsukahara Molong, I'm afraid he will still launch an offensive of a certain scale, and we must block it before we have the qualifications to make peace." Takeda Harunobu got up and walked to the map, and the military commander pointed and said, "The Red Reserve is stationed in Toishi Castle, so be sure to block the attack of the Tsukahara Army from the direction of Ueno!" ”

"I will live up to the trust of my lord!" Fan Fu Huchang replied abruptly.

"The next will be an extremely difficult period for the family, but as long as they can successfully digest the 200,000 stones of North Shinano, the family still has the strength to fight!" Takeda Harunobu said with a cold look in his eyes: "Taro, you go to Suruga in person, and you must make an alliance agreement with the Imagawa family!" ”

"Alliance?" Takeda Yoshinobu was stunned when he heard this, and then spoke: "The Imagawa family was defeated in the barrel and narrow, and the main force was lost, I'm afraid they won't dare to offend Molong Gong, right?" ”

Takeda Harunobu smiled and shook his head, "On the contrary, the Imagawa family suffered the heaviest losses from the reserves directly under the jurisdiction of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and the local noble samurai in Mikawa, Enoe, and Suruga did not suffer much losses, in order to suppress the retainers, the Imagawa family must rely on the power of Tsukahara Molong, but the retainers of the Imagawa family can only find the main family in order to compete!" ”

"The child understands...... Takeda Yoshinobu nodded in response, but at the moment he bowed his head, he sighed secretly. Imagawa Yoshimoto created the hegemony of the Three Kingdoms, and now he is not long dead, and the huge family business left behind is in danger of falling apart......

On the other side, the soldiers of the Tsukahara Army were cleaning up the corpses of Hachioji Castle, while Tsukahara Moryū was looking at the mountain of corpses and blood outside the castle tower with an intoxicated expression, and Ichijo Tadadayi, who was kneeling behind him, looked at his familiar but unfamiliar back in fear and did not dare to speak.

"You gave me the six days of the fire gun back then." Tsukahara Moryū suddenly spoke.

Yi Zhonglai was overjoyed when he heard this, and felt that the other party was still nostalgic for the old love, so he hurriedly raised his head and wanted to speak, but when he saw the other party's indifferent eyes, he still lowered his head and said: "I just wanted to make friends with Molonggong back then, but I didn't expect your Kanto hegemony today. ”

Tsukahara Molong chuckled, and stepped forward to help up a loyaman, "What Molong Gong, just call me Molong, I want to return you two gifts today." ”

Seeing that Tsukahara Moryū was so kind, a loyal heart let go of a little more, and just about to excuse himself, Tsukahara Moryū clapped his hands, and the two little boys were brought in, but Ichijo Tadahiro's heart suddenly had a bad premonition, because these two children, one is his eldest son in Kai, and the other is the eldest son of Nobutomo Oyamada......

"Throw one of them down from the castle tower, and if he doesn't fall to his death, I'll throw the other one down as well." Tsukahara Muryu faces the window Nunu mouth, the castle tower of Hachioji Castle has four floors, and although it is more likely for adults to break their legs than to die if they fall, it is a different matter for children who are five or six years old.

Ichijo Tadashi couldn't help but tremble, he understood that Tsukahara Moryū wanted him to show his loyalty, but Oyamada Nobuyo died in battle, and he was captured by exhaustion, morally speaking, there was nothing to blame, even if Takeda Harunobu stood in front of him, it was difficult to say anything. But it's another thing to kill Nobuyo Koyamada's son, after all, Nobuyo Koyamada is not only his comrade-in-arms, but more importantly, the Koyamada family is an old member of the Takeda family, and this kid also has the blood of the Takeda family on his body, and if he falls to death, he offends the Takeda family to death......

But can he refuse? His son is still here, which shows that Tsukahara Molong does have the ability to attack the hinterland of Kai, and the other clansmen are estimated to have fallen into the hands of Tsukahara Molong, if he dares to learn from the Zhao orphan of the Ming Kingdom, Ichijo Zhonglai has no doubt that Tsukahara Molong will order the slaughter of a clan, just like slaughtering the Koyamada clan, in the eyes of others, there is no difference between crushing an ant to death.

Thinking of this, Ichijo Tadalai didn't dare to be careless, and immediately grabbed the son of Nobutomo Oyamada, Nobushige Oyamada, who is very famous in history, and fell directly from the window despite the other party's crying and struggle. Since he made a choice, he naturally didn't dare to keep his hand, and Tsukahara Molong said very clearly, if he didn't fall to his death, he would throw another one down.

Tsukahara Moryū smiled and touched the back of the head of a loyal son, historically, he was a child who died young, and the family was finally inherited by Takeda Harunobu's son A Shinryu, there may be a bit of conspiracy in it, after all, no matter how loyal a loyal is, it must not be as reliable as a public. But everything has changed......

"I'll give you a territory of 10,000 koku, and the fief is in Nishiueno, but you have to wait until the Hojo family is destroyed." Tsukahara Molong said slowly.

"Thank you, lord!" A loyal Lai shouted very upright, although Tsukahara Molong obviously wanted to use him as a leading party, but this was already the best result, it was impossible for him to return to the Takeda family after he fell to death the eldest son of the Koyamada family, and Tsukahara Molong was notoriously extreme for the general, either vigorously promoted or wiped out the entire clan, and it seemed to him that it was still the former. "My lord, my subordinates have a plan...... With a little idea, maybe it can destroy the Hojo family. ”

Seeing that Ichijo Loyashi began to make suggestions so quickly, Tsukahara Moryū was also relieved, the military merit system that he had been vigorously promoting since he started the army had finally worked, and even a loyashi knew that if he wanted to be reused, he had to show his own value. "Say it and see if it agrees with me."

"The Hojo family's main city, Odawara Castle, is a fortified city that is difficult to attack, and it may even be the strongest fortress in the world, but the biggest weakness of the Hojo family is not in Odawara, but in Izu country." Ichijo Tadashi looked at Tsukahara Molong tentatively as he spoke, and when he saw that the other party was listening very carefully, he slowly let go: "Izu Province is the place where the Hojo family started, not only is it an important part of the Hakone Mountain defense line, but more importantly, after the capture of Izu country, it is impossible for the Imagawa family to have possible reinforcements, and the Takeda family will never have the ability to launch an attack in the short term, so Odawara Castle has become an isolated city, so it is easier to capture." ”

Tsukahara Molong suddenly laughed and patted a loyal Lai on the shoulder: "I was worried that it would be difficult to give you the position of a general, but now it seems that it is okay, a loyal Lai, leading the West Ueno 10,000 stone fiefdom, the general of the ministry!" ”

A loyashi was overjoyed when he heard this, within the Tsukahara family, a consensus has been formed, how much territory there is, and the level of the position is actually not the most capable of reflecting the ability, within the Tsukahara family, the most core, the most critical, is always those Wanshi generals! These people not only have heavy troops, but also have the trust of Tsukahara Molong, Sasaki Nagahide, Zhou Dashuai, Mizutani Masamura and others, and the future is limitless! "Then, the subordinate's strategy ......"

The corners of Tsukahara Molong's mouth raised slightly: "Six thousand people from the three legions of Ota Shimasa Legion, Inukai Yoshio Legion, and Toki Weiyori Legion have boarded the ship yesterday morning and headed for Izu!" ”
