189 Mr. Mei Xue 190 Am I a good person?

189

In the tenth year of Tensho, in the third month of Yangchun, the smoke of war was ignited again, and the old enemies Takeda, Oda and Tokugawa fought again.

Both Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Katsuyori racked their brains in an attempt to maintain a strategic advantage. Takeda Katsuyori frequently contacted Uesugi Keikatsu in Echigo, hoping that he would end the truce with Oda Nobunaga and send troops to help him, while Oda Nobunaga asked his loyal ally Tokugawa Tokugawa Ieyasu to send troops to Suruga, and on the other hand sought an alliance with the Hojo clan in Kanpachishu.

The year before, Tokugawa Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga's young generals Akechi Kogoro had both thrown heavy troops to the east, intending to capture Suruga as quickly as possible, and then march on Kai.

For the ambitious Tokugawa Ieyasu, it was no longer a matter of a day or two for him to keep an eye on Suruga Ichikoku...... Specifically, when can it be traced? I remember saying in many books that I had this idea when I was forced to be a hostage in Sunfu as a child.

Of course, this is nonsense, at that time, the Imagawa family was in full swing, even the tiger Takeda Shingen and the lion Hojo Shiyasu did not dare to provoke easily (of course, can anyone explain to me, why Imagawa Yoshimoto and Taiyuan Yukisai were still alive at that time, and the Imagawa family was actually knocked to death by Oda Nobuhide, the father of the demon king, for so long?) And he was beaten all over the ground in the first battle of Kodozaka? At that time, they only had half of Owari), the old turtle...... Oh no, the little turtle's idea at that time was probably only to become the general of the Imagawa family in the future, and in the future, he would follow Imagawa Yoshimoto, dip his light, drink soup, and replace the main family as the new lord of Suruga, hehe...... I guess he would think he was daydreaming.

However, this daydream was about to come true, and through the word of Wise Kogoro, Tokugawa Ieyasu had learned that in return for sending troops to help him attack the Takeda clan, the dominance of Suruga Ichigoku would be his own.

Needless to say, he was happy, and Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but feel a little emotional about his life.

At some point, a light rain began to fall in the barracks, but Tokugawa Ieyasu did not return to the camp to hide from the rain, he was stunned in the rain, and let the rain wet him.

When he thought of Suruga, he couldn't help but think of his wife and children in Sunfu.

Mrs. Tsukiyama, who had no feelings for many years, died, and his son Nobuyasu, who had been trying to be his successor, also died, and the image of himself from the age of eight to nineteen, spending most of his life in Sunfu also disappeared like a bubble.

Taiyuan Yukisai, who trained himself to be a samurai, had died before this, and Imagawa Yoshimoto, who married Tsukuyama's wife Sena Hime to Tokugawa Ieyasu, left this world, and his father-in-law, Sekiguchi Punishment, who had eagerly hoped that he would become the son-in-law of Chenglong, was also forced by Imagawa Yoshimoto's son Shima to commit suicide by seppuku. Where the hell is Shin right now and what is he doing? I heard rumors that he was kicking Kemari in the capital for his father's killer, Oda Nobunaga (this is fake, I'm sure I've never seen such a person in Kyoto)......

Even Shingen Takeda, who has always bullied himself but has always been admired by himself, is no longer alive. The world has been turned upside down and turned into a splendid spring for the Oda family. Even Xinkang was contaminated with a wisp of aftermaze......

Thinking of his son who died young and died innocently, Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Hey, Your Highness the Major General, why are you standing here? Now that the rain is getting heavier, let's go to the camp. ”

A young man with an umbrella walked up to him and said with great concern.

Tokugawa Ieyasu looked up and saw that it was his son Nobuyasu!

Xinkang, are you back again?!

Tokugawa Ieyasu excitedly grasped the success of "Tokugawa Nobuyasu".

"Tokugawa Nobuyasu" said, "Huh? Major General, you are mistaken, I am not Ling Gongzi. As he spoke, he withdrew his hand.

Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at it again, where is his son, it is clearly the wise Kogoro as a deputy general!

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was extremely embarrassed, was about to speak, but I said very generously: "As the so-called licking of calves is deep, I can completely understand the feelings of the Major General who misses His Highness the Central Affairs...... But compared to this, I think it's more important to discuss the military situation, please come in, Major General. ”

Wise Kogoro looked calm, his tone was soft, and he revealed what had just happened in a few words, which made Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but feel a little more good about him.

Such a person who thinks about others, is very stable, although he is not very mature...... No wonder Wise Mitsuhide would hand over all the huge family business to him in advance, and the Wise family would definitely not decline in his hands...... Alas! I don't know if Xinkang is still alive, I don't know if he can support things like him? ……

Of course, for Katsuyori Takeda, Suruga Kuni is of great significance. Back then, the country that attacked this country that made his father Takeda Shingen wear the hat of treachery and attack allies (it seems that Takeda Shingen had often done this before this), although the casualties were not large, but he took his eldest brother Takeda Yoshinobu (but then again, without his self-defeat, how could he have a chance to ascend to the throne?). and the two lives of the general Akabi Iitomi Soldier Huchang, and because of this, he had a bad relationship with the Hojo family, delaying the time of Kamiro...... In short, if Suruga Province were to be taken away by Tokugawa Ieyasu, then not only would Kai be placed under the covetousness of Tokugawa Ieyasu, but even the entire Takeda family would be immediately threatened.

In the same way, Tokugawa Ieyasu was constantly thinking about how to replicate the deeds of Takeda Shingen, the person he admired, and take Suruga Province into his pocket

Therefore, although Tokugawa Ieyasu continued to build fortifications on the border between Enoe Province and Suruga Province in March of the eighth year of Tensho when he and Oda Nobutada captured Takatenjin Castle and completely mastered Enoe Province, until the war began this year, the country under the heavy military pressure of Tokugawa Ieyasu was still in the hands of Takeda Katsuyori, except for a few Suruga nobles who defected, he did not get anything at all.

I think that when Takeda Shingen led tens of thousands of elite samurai in Koshu to attack Suruga Province, the Imagawa family could not resist the attack of the wolf-like Takeda army, and the reinforcements of the Hojo clan Yasu were blocked on the road and could not arrive for a long time, so the cowardly and incompetent family governor Imagawa clan really had to open the gate of Sunfu and surrender...... Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, in the same place, the Takeda Army, who was proud of the spring breeze back then, tasted this kind of besieged by the enemy, which really made the world not know what to say.

It's just that the Imagawa clan still has some hope, not so much because of his affection, but because he doesn't want to see Takeda Shingen sit big and threaten him in the future, Hojo Shiyasu has already led his troops out of Odawara Castle at that time...... And now, for the lord of Sunfu Castle, Nobuyoshi Anayama and other lords of Suruga Province, there is no hope of getting reinforcements at all, Shibata Katsuya and Oda Nobunaga's vanguard Takigawa Kazuki, one north and one south, began to invade Shinano like a bamboo, and now even Takeda Katsuyori himself has no skills, so there is still the heart to manage the situation in Suruga Province?

In any case, under the instruction of Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had secretly allied himself with the Hojo clan, was in a strategic advantage, so Tokugawa Ieyasu threw a heavy army here and launched an attack. As a result, on the one hand, Izu and Suruga were threatened by Hojo, and on the other hand, Tokugawa Ieyasu besieged Suruga Province with heavy troops, and Takeda Katsuyori fell into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy.

I remember that when the envoy of Kiso Yoshimasa met with Oda Nobunaga at Azuchi Castle, Oda Nobunaga once asked the envoy.

"Yoshimasa is not only a descendant of Genji, but also an in-law of the Takeda family, isn't there a little shame in betraying your lord like this?"

"Your Royal Highness, I think you also know that my lord used to be one of the four great generals of Shinano who resisted the attack of the Takeda family, and when he surrendered to Takeda Shingen, it was not because Takeda Shingen's kindness made us happy, but because he was afraid of his sword, in fact, the Takeda family never regarded us as their own people, in addition to letting us fight and die for them everywhere, we also had to pay a heavy tribute every year, and we never looked at them as the masters......"

"Let's talk about it...... I would like to ask, what does Yoshimasa think of my son-in-law, Katsuyori Takeda? "My lord said that Katsuyori was just as fond of war as his father, but ...... The crux of the matter was that Katsuyori always liked to fight meaningless battles, and the Hojo, Tokugawa, Odase, and any of the surrounding Hojo, Tokugawa, and Odasei were better armed than Katsuyori, but he was unaware of it. If we do not have aggressive ambitions, then perhaps we can keep the peace. However, Katsuyori constantly waged wars for the sake of Bimi's father's deeds. As everyone knows, an uncertain battle is just a waste of manpower and financial resources. This kind of senseless sacrifice will only incur the dissatisfaction of the retainers, and will eventually lead to destruction. I have understood this, so I am willing to voluntarily surrender to the Right Prefecture and sacrifice Kiso Road to assist you in attacking Takedase. ”……

Keiji Maeda and the others are gearing up and ready to compete with the Takeda Army, but I don't have this idea, it's not that I want to let the Takeda family go...... The person I really like is Kenshin Uesugi, and I don't bother to care about the life and death of the Takeda Shingen family (of course, it doesn't seem to be my turn to care).

I just don't think it's worth throwing the lives of the family soldiers on this long road to the east.

There was no decent resistance along the way, and on March 15, the lord of Sunfu, Nobuyoshi Anayama, also surrendered the castle.

Anayama Nobuki, or also known as Takeda Nobuki, is a descendant of the Takeda clan and is more qualified to inherit the Takeda family than Takeda Katsuyori and his son Takeda Nobukatsu, but is also troubled by Takeda Shingen's selfishness...... It can't be said that people are selfish, who doesn't want the country to be passed on from generation to generation in their own hands?

I don't have much affection for Anayama Nobuyoshi, at most, I know that he is a cultural person who likes to read like me, but I heard that the cultural level of others is much higher than mine (this is true, the calligraphy and painting of Anayama Nobuyoshi and Takeda Xiaoyaoxuan Nobuyo, another cultural person of the Takeda family, have been speculated to sky-high prices in later generations).

"The guilty man Cave Mountain Umeiyuki Nobukun, meet with Major General Tokugawa, the wise general Eunuch."

The moment their eyes met, Anayama Nobuyojun collapsed to the ground and knelt down.

"Lord Mei Xue, you are on the battlefield, please forgive me for wearing a helmet to see you." Ieyasu was very mild. However, Nobukun Anayama was so excited that he couldn't hear Ieyasu at all.

"Xinjun...... Xinjun ...... It's really unscrupulous, an enemy of the Major General, an enemy of His Royal Highness the Right Mansion, and an enemy of the entire court (hey, strange, I'm obviously here, why was it ignored)...... He also participated in the previous Battle of Mikahara and the Battle of Sinfu, and his sins were unforgivable...... Everything is the sin of Nobukun Anayama...... Please...... Please ......," Nobuyan said in a panic, and added, "Please forgive the Major General." ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu and I not only didn't find it ridiculous, but a wave of sadness welled up in our hearts. If anyone laughs at this point, the two of us will definitely reprimand them severely.

I sighed, "That's a big deal." Lord Cave Mountain understands the righteousness today, and when he opens the city gate, he has made great achievements. Please don't worry too much, just rest assured, as for His Highness Youfu, I will go and tell him. ”

Anayama Nobukun seemed to remember that I was Oda Nobunaga's son-in-law at this time, and hurriedly bent down to thank him.

"Thank you, two adults, for ignoring your past suspicions. Therefore......"

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

"I heard that the two adults are going to crusade against Kai, and Xinjun is a Kai person, please let Xinjun be the vanguard." Nobuyoru Anayama seems to have made up his mind.

Tokugawa Ieyasu and I looked at each other, and we both felt a little strange that this person was going to aim his gun at his old club and relatives so quickly.

However, after thinking about it again, he felt that Anayama Nobukun was quite pitiful, as a surrenderer, he could only rely on these means to win the favor of Oda Nobunaga in exchange for the temperamental latter's order not to kill.

"Courage is commendable. However, this matter still needs to be discussed with the generals. Naturally, there will be a herald to inform you. You should go back to Xiyuan to rest first. ”

"Thank you!" Nobuyo-kun Anayama was overjoyed and terrified.

I said slowly, "Actually, you don't have to be so scared, Lord Cave Mountain, our two families are still quite related?" ”

"Origins?" Anayama Nobujun himself is confused, what is the relationship between the Takeda family and the wise family?

"The ancestor of our wise family, the Toki clan, is actually a branch of the Takeda clan, so we are actually a family......"

"Yes...... Xinjun didn't dare to climb high, and he still looked forward to ......"

"Don't worry, since it's a family, then of course I have to help, and I will persuade His Highness Youfu to keep all your territory."

"Thank you, Inspector General......"

After Nobukun Anayama left, Keiji Maeda, who was guarding me, glanced at his back and sneered: "Lord Mei Xue is also a descendant of the Takeda clan, and he actually forgot his noble identity, and he was afraid of the lord and Ieyasu just now, it's ridiculous!" As he spoke, he really laughed twice.

This guy never knows how to save some face for others.

Hondo also smiled several times: "That's right...... It's like a chick meeting an eagle. ”

I turned a deaf ear to such whispers.

"Originally, I wanted to visit this city, but now I am suddenly out of the mood, I will go and take a rest, Major General, you have come to help manage this city." ……

Generally speaking, the food and grass necessary for war must be sufficient to supply the food and grass from one's own territory to the time of invasion into the territory of others. Therefore, before sending troops, it was first necessary to levy rations from the people in the territory. At the same time, however, it is also necessary to guard against rebellions caused by the requisition of grain, so as not to be in chaos before the war is launched. Strictly speaking, the wars of the Warring States period can be described as a veritable "war of rations", in which people not only collected rations in their own territories, but once they entered the territory of others, they had to plunder at will to replenish the food and grass they had consumed.

The people of the defeated country cannot, of course, resist the invading enemy army. What is even more tragic is that in addition to the food deprived, the women of the city are often humiliated, and some enemy troops even set fire to their hard-earned homes as they leave.

In the face of such a bleak situation, what can innocent people do but look up to the sky and sigh?

The lords who defended the city were invaded by enemy troops, and of course they were well aware of these atrocities. There was an unwritten rule that whenever an enemy invaded and had to abandon the city and flee, the lord of the city would usually set aside three days to acquiesce in all plundering by the inhabitants or soldiers of the city. The corpses and wounded scattered across the battlefield were certainly plundered, and some mobs even laid ambushes on the way, waiting to retreat

When the crowd passed, they then started to rob property and women.

In those times, it was not surprising that there were people who made a living by selling tools and weapons taken from the common people or the dead and wounded.

Speaking of which, you may think of the "White Yaksha" Sakata Gintoki in the famous migrant worker comic "Gintama", who grew up by the pile of dead people since he was a child.

This trend has continued to modern times, and even in Japan at the end of World War II, foreign reporters always photographed some people looking for food on the dead "Imperial Army" and "Allied Army".

When I walked through the streets of Kai, I saw a lot of dead bodies along the way, but there were also many living people.

I thought that Kai Province, which was the base of the Takeda family, would meet me and Tokugawa Ieyasu with strong resistance, but ...... There was still no decent army here, and it was heard that Takeda Katsuyori had left Shinfu Castle and fled to Iwaden Castle, where Koyamada Nobushige still had a few thousand soldiers and horses.

Now that the lords of the country are gone, there is no need for the retainers to continue to stay, and the lords of Kai will either flee to other places or surrender to us, in short, no one will think of picking up swords and guns to fight us.

"I really didn't expect the Takeda Army to be so unbearable," the retainers shook their heads, "I thought they would be so powerful." ”

"It used to be very powerful......

In the afternoon of the same day, at the gate of Xinfu, which had been besieged to the point of running out of ammunition and food, the people, who had long been hungry, finally looked forward to the life-saving food and grass sent by the officers and soldiers. There was not a single grain of rice left in the city, and men, women, and children suddenly thundered with joy.

By the way,

The officers and soldiers who delivered food used the flag was not the "Takeda Ling" they were most familiar with on weekdays, but the "Sanye Aoi" that symbolized the Tian Samurai Regiment (here I want to explain to you that in fact, before Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Matsudaira family did not use "Mitsuha Aoi", at that time, the Matsudaira family, like many Mikawa wealthy families, claimed to be the Fujiwara clan, and used other family crests, and in the Tokugawa Ieyasu era, this guy pretended to be forced, saying that Lao Tzu was the descendant of Nitta Yoshisada and should use the "Mitsuha Aoi" of the Nitta family, So it's what everyone sees now).

"Thank goodness it's been great," I said, clapping my hands in celebration as my vision blurred. "Although the enemy has surrendered to us, we still cannot be careless...... The top priority is to quickly build a fire to cook and fill your stomach. ”

He immediately ordered a fire to be made and cooked.

In fact, we have been besieging this castle that Takeda Katsuyori has painstakingly built for less than half a day, and the guards of this castle ...... In fact, it can't be regarded as a guard, Takeda Katsuyori and a group of large and small samurai have already run clean, and it is the citizens themselves who stand up to defend their homes (thinking of this, I have a lower evaluation of Takeda Katsuyori), we barely attacked the city, they planned to open the city gate and surrender, the only condition is ...... The samurai had already taken all the food and money from the city, and they hadn't eaten for a long time, if ......

While the overjoyed Tokugawa Ieyasu hurriedly asked Anayama Nobuyoshi to transfer 800 koku of grain from Suruga, I also sighed on the side that the Takeda family had indeed lost the hearts of the people.

At this time, a flag carried by a person caught my eye.

That flag is the ancestor of the Japanese flag, which was contemptuously called the "plaster flag" by the Chinese during the Anti-Japanese War.

When I first saw it, I was shocked, and I thought I had traveled back in time again, back to the Anti-Japanese War era.

"Hey, what kind of flag is that? Hey? I've seen it in books...... Isn't that the Genji White Flag handed down from the Yoshiya Hachimantaro? ”

My eyes widened.

"The general has good eyesight, it is indeed the white flag." The man who was escorting the grain and grass replied casually.

I wondered, "Why is that white flag in your hands?" ”

"Of course I found it in the warehouse." At this time, he turned his head to Tokugawa Ieyasu and said, "My lord! This is Seiwa Genji's treasure, so let's keep it safe! ”

"Nonsense!" Tokugawa Ieyasu actually wanted this treasure that could represent Genji's authenticity very much, but because I was on the side, he had to shout against his will: "This is the battle flag that the imperial court naturally gave to Hachiman Taro, and now it should naturally be returned to the imperial court!" Lord Eunuch, you will keep it for you first, and then please hand it over to His Highness Youfu, and he will transfer it to the imperial court. ”

"This ...... All right...... But I'm more interested, Honda-sama, you say this is the Takeda family's flag that you took from the warehouse? ”

"Is there any fake," because the loot was "snatched" away by me, so Hondo's attitude towards me was not as friendly as just now, and he said angrily: "Yes, when I picked it up, Ishikawa-sama next to me said to the imperial flag cabinet on the side, - the turtle grandchildren of the Takeda family, although you are now fleeing for your life in embarrassment, you will not hand over the treasure flag handed down by your ancestors to the enemy!" What a body to wrap around! ”

Is this a scolding of the Takeda family's losers? Why does it sound like you're scolding me?

But I didn't bother to meet this hillbilly with a bad temper, but he was an old guy who even dared to scold a monkey, and asked, "Is it so embarrassing?" Don't even want the family treasure Hachiman battle flag and the imperial flag cabinet that have been passed down from generation to generation? Isn't Takeda Katsuyori afraid that after he dies, he will be blamed by his underground ancestors? ”

"Why not, we still found a lot of treasures, hahahahaha......" This question seemed to make him very happy, and the original resentment disappeared: "What Genji authentic Takeda clan, in fact, it's just that, hahaha......"

"Oh." Instead of laughing, I sighed.

The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, the words of the ancients have once again verified that there is an invisible thing in the world that ruthlessly adjudicates everything. This victory made me feel a burst of unprecedented sadness, and unconsciously began to lament the cruelty of human beings again:

"Or the question I just asked, if Takeda Katsuyori is really dead, what face will he have to meet his father and other ancestors?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu patted me on the shoulder like an old-timer who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, "Don't think about it so much, I heard that Nobushige Yamada is not a good thing either!" He has already contacted His Royal Highness Youfu, and is ready to betray his lord in exchange for glory and wealth! ”

"Ieyasu, I heard that you have always admired Takeda Shingen, and now that the Takeda family is about to perish, are you happy, don't you have a trace of sentimentality in your heart?"

Hearing my words, Tokugawa Ieyasu sighed and said, "If I were twenty years younger, like the age of Wise Lord, I'm afraid I would feel a little bit, but it's a pity that I'm already past that age, and besides...... I haven't felt much about the joys and sorrows of the world since that incident......"

"That thing"? It turned out that it was "that incident" that made Tokugawa Ieyasu what he is today.

Tokugawa Ieyasu continued, "If one day you can be like me, and you will not be sad or happy, then you will be mature...... At that time, you will be the opponent that His Highness and I will be afraid of. ”

An opponent that even Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu feared...... Am I going to be like that?

"There seems to be something wrong with the castle town...... Wise lord, I'll go out of town and see, and I'll see you later. ”

I sent Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hondo down to the castle one time, and at this time, countless small stars appeared in the sky.

Why are you suddenly a little lonely?

The war is won, but people feel lonely, why is this? I'm reprimanding myself.

Do you guys want to say something like "war is always lonely" or something, young people who study literature and art are disease-free**, and it's okay to pretend to be forced, right?!

If I don't have a reason to be sentimental, then the sadness of Katsuyori Takeda, who lost his entire country, is not described in words.

Do the shining stars look the same, whether on the way of Katsuyori Takeda, who fled from the wilderness, or in the camp of Oda Nobunaga? Are they all that glamorous?

For some reason, I always have some strange thoughts, which is probably a common problem of literary and artistic youth.

Soon, red bonfires were lit everywhere in the castle and castle towns. It seems that it is time to eat, everywhere is filled with crisp laughter, some people are dancing to the beat, some people are humming a little song, life is really incredible, this morning they were still hungry and dizzy, now, every family has enough food to eat for several days, the most unimaginable thing is that these food are actually given by the enemy.

When almost everyone had eaten, I came to the castle town in the main city.

Of course, I didn't go to Tokugawa Ieyasu.

I walked to the door of a house in a daze.

There was a little girl who had suffered such a cruel experience for the first time, and she was smiling at me in the kitchen, with her sleeves torn and her face covered with dust.

I was stunned and came back to my senses. It turned out that the war was over.

"Aunt......ie" I originally wanted to call her "girl", but when I saw that she was only eleven or twelve years old, I changed my words and said, "Little girl, aren't you afraid of me?" I have a knife in my hand. ”

In this world, there is nothing wrong with a samurai being able to kill civilians at will.

"Why should I be afraid of you?" The little girl asked me very innocently.

"Because I am an enemy of your former lord, if I am angry, I will probably kill ...... I'm going to bully you. ”

"Bullying me?" The little girl smiled sweetly, "Hee-hee, Samurai-sama, you're scaring me." ”

"Scare?" I couldn't help but be amused by this little Lori, "Why do you say I'm scaring you?" ”

"Because Samurai-sama, you're a good man!"

Good?!

These two words crossed my heart like lightning.

Good? …… Whether it is the "era of the young lord", or now, there has never been a shortage of something called "flattery" in my ears, my retainers, the wealthy families in my territory, and my colleagues who want to have a good relationship with me. As long as there is no decline in my status, their "compliments" to me will never be less.

Many people praise me as rare on earth and nothing in heaven, as if the world would soon turn gray without me.

But I never praise me as a good person.

"Little girl, why do you say I'm a good person?" For some reason, I was desperate to know the answer to the question.

"You joined a fat samurai lord this afternoon and asked a group of people to distribute food for the whole city...... Do you know? Our family has been hungry for days......"

It turned out that this was the case, but it was just a small condition for the opening of the city, and the things that Tokugawa Ieyasu and I also wanted to appease the people in the city were able to get such an effect and make everyone treat us as good people.

"By the way, why are you the only ones cooking, your parents?" Looking at her thin figure, I couldn't help but ask.

"My father died on the battlefield, my mother was hungry for several days and fell ill, I cooked her a bowl of porridge ......" Speaking of this, the little girl was a little sad.

"That's right...... I'll have someone bring you some more food later, what's your name?" ”

"Thank you...... Thank you, Samurai-sama, you are simply a god and Buddha in the temple, my name is Ayano ......"

On the fifth day, Oda Nobunaga's main camp was ushered in the city, and Tokugawa Ieyasu and I were relieved that we had truly won!

On April 5, Tokugawa Ieyasu and I entered Shinfu Castle, and at the same time, Oda Nobutada also occupied the Takeda family's "old capital" of the Takeda family.

On April 10, Oda Nobunaga entered Shinfu Castle.

On April 12, Takeda Katsuyori was betrayed by Nobushige Koyamada and committed suicide on Mount Tenmu.

The Takeda family perished.

At this time, it was less than two months since Oda Nobunaga decided to send troops.
