In the castle tower, the clan clan and Nobu Katsu sit opposite each other.

I only heard Takayama Nobukatsu speak first: "Father, the child is here, especially to bid farewell to his father, and the child is ready to lead the army into battle tomorrow." ”

"Have you seen your mother?" I only heard the clan say lightly.

"The child has already seen it, and the mother told the child to be careful in everything, and the child has written it down."

"Well, since my mother has already told me, then I don't have anything to order, you go and prepare." I saw that the clan nodded and said.

Before coming to meet his father, Takayama Nobukatsu thought very well, as long as he said that he was going to fight, I am afraid that his father would definitely ask him how to fight, and he could take this opportunity to let his father know his ability. But who knows, my father didn't even ask, so wasn't all the preparations made before in vain?

After all, Takayama Nobukatsu's mind is not too mature, and he doesn't ask about the clan, but he has to say it in order to get his father's praise. But he said, "Won't the father ask the child what he wants?" ”

I saw that the clan said with a smile: "My son's thoughts are certainly good, but his heart is a little big. ”

After hearing this, Takayama Nobukatsu couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and suddenly he didn't want to show it. Hurriedly said: "Please also ask my father for a quote." ”

"Now that North Shinano is empty, it is indeed the best time to seize this place, but the army under my son's command is only five hundred, I am afraid that before I have captured this place, the army has been exhausted, and you underestimate the Shinano Hao clan, although most of the Shinano Hao clan are peasant soldiers, but these peasant soldiers are slightly different from other peasant soldiers, these troops have been fighting all year round. Although the combat power is not as elite as the Takeda family. But it also has the power to fight. What will you do then? ”

"It's... My father said yes, but I had to ...... when I was ready to fly."

"I'm still saying that, your heart is a little bigger. Let's wait until we figure it out. ”

Walking out of the castle tower, his father's words kept echoing in Shinkatsu's ears, and if his father could say this twice in a row, then he must have had a good intention.

What if the heart is small, what can it be? Suddenly, Takayama Nobukatsu's eyes lit up, and he turned around and walked towards the castle tower again.

Seeing that Gentaro was back so soon. The clan couldn't help but feel very pleased.

"Father, the child has come to bid you farewell."

"Figured it out?"

"Yes, father, the child went out to fight this time, supplemented by attacking the city and plundering the land, and assisting the army of Minami Shinano. As long as the child let the Northern Shinano coalition know that there is an army of the Takayama family attacking their place, then these wealthy clans will probably collapse. Without the assistance of the Northern Shinano Coalition Army, it would be impossible for the Southern Shinano Coalition Army to block the attack of the family, I don't know if what the child said is right? ”

Seeing that my father finally nodded. Takayama Nobukatsu was overjoyed and immediately set out to fight.

It was less than a day before Takayama Nobukatsu led his army away. I saw Hikoemon hurriedly come to the door of the living room and report: "My lord, there is a person outside the city who claims to be an envoy of the Sanada family, saying that there is something important to discuss with the lord, and he asks the lord to decide. ”

"Oh? Let them wait in the chamber. ”

Among the secret chambers of Takayama City, this can be said to be the most secret and safest place in Takayama City, and the security is comparable to the vault in the city. No one can find out anything from this place.

When the Takayama clan sect was not himself, but brought Sanada Masayuki to the secret room together.

"Uncle, why are you here?" As soon as he walked into the secret room, he only heard Sanada Masayuki ask with a little surprise. The person who came was none other than Sanada Yukitaka's brother, Kamada Kota, a major minister of the Sanada family.

Kamaharahara only nodded slightly to Sanada Masayuki, and then saluted the clan and said, "Sanada Kamahara Kotashi has seen and met Takayama-sama. ”

The clan clan hurriedly stepped forward to help, Kamaharaja is fortunate to be over half a hundred years old now, for such an old man, no matter what his identity is, but the clan has always maintained respect.

After the three of them sat down again, they only heard the clan ask from the clan, "I don't know what is the so-called matter of Lord Kamahara, who came from afar?" ”

"Lord Takayama, I have come here on the orders of my lord to discuss with you about submission." I only heard Kamahara's words to the point.

"Oh? Dan Zhengzhong-sama has always been heavily armed by the Takeda clan, and it is really surprising that Danzheng-sama came to throw it. ”

"Your Excellency doesn't have to be tempted, with the ability of the Takayama family to gather intelligence, I'm afraid your adult should know that Takeda Katsuyori has not only deprived Shintsuna, and Changhui Chibei has been deprived of his position, but also showed suspicion of my family's lord during the last evaluation meeting, so it is no longer meaningful for the family to stay in Takeda, so it is better to come and serve than this."

"I'm afraid that Sanada Nobutsuna and Masaki are the two adults who have used their family forces to fight south with the victory of the trace department, and it is also for the sake of Shun."

Kamahara, Yukita, couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Lord Takayama, my lord has a plan, and when he leads the two armies to fight, he suddenly turns against him, so that he can break the coalition army." ”

"If you really act like this, Takeda Katsuyori will definitely send an army to attack Toishi Castle under the fury of the Sanada family, and the Sanada family's army is exhausted, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold it. It can be said that this is the biggest doubt in the heart of the clan, after all, Toishi Castle is next to Kai, does Sanada Yutaka really have such great courage? You must know that whether it is Sanada Yutaka or Sanada Masayuka, they are both cautious people, and they are even more unscrupulous in order to keep their territory, and now they would rather give up their territory and come to their own family, which is really suspicious.

Sanada Yutaka has been calculating people all his life, and he has long thought that the Takayama clan will ask from this, so he has already explained it clearly to Kamahara, so when the clan clan asked, he said: "My lord, there is only one condition for my lord to return to the Takayama family, that is, once Takayama-sama captures Shinano, please return Toishi Castle to the family." ”

I see, Sanada Yutaka's move to retreat is really beautiful, what is the matter of the territory being taken away by the Takeda family, judging from the current situation, with the cooperation of the Sanada army, it is easy to defeat the North Shinano coalition army, as long as the Hao clan coalition army is defeated, then there will no longer be any suspense for the Takayama family to seize Shinano. In this way, the Sanada family's territory of more than 30,000 stones is just a circle, and it will eventually return to his hands, and with the attack of this battle, maybe he will be sealed.

Of course, the return of the Sanada family is also beneficial to the Takayama family, the Sanada family just gets the old collar, and the Takayama family can get the whole Shinano.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan say: "Dan Zhengzhong's mind, the clan knows the way, please Kamaharara go back and tell Dan Zhengzhong, the clan accepts Dan Zhengzhong's proposal, and after the family captures Shinano, not only will it return to the old leader of the Shinda family, but also have another ......"

Before the clan sect finished speaking, he only heard Sanada Masayuki, who had not spoken, say loudly: "The lord must not be like this. All the adults in the family have been fighting with the lord for many years, and they have made many meritorious contributions, and they have not been able to get the title of Zhixing, and the Sanada clan has only made some contributions, and the lord has sealed the land of tens of thousands of stones, which is really difficult to convince the public, so please think twice. ”

"Gengoro! You..."After hearing these words, Kamaharaja Yuki couldn't even speak, and at first he was very happy to see Sanada Masayuki coming together, with the current attitude of the Takayama clan towards him, even if he can't benefit the Sanada family, but if he is there, then he can be safe. But who would have thought that not only did he not speak for himself, but also spoke out against it, which could not help but make him angry.

I only heard Sanada Masayuki say: "Kamahara-sama, since you have become a minister of the Takayama family, then you will never allow the Takayama family to suffer any harm, as for the Sanada family, since the day Zai Xia left, he has not regarded himself as a member of the Sanada family, and please Kamahara-sama respect himself." ”

"Okay, Changyuki, the matter of the Sanada family's territory and the matter of the retainers of the Sanada family cannot be confused, the land of more than 30,000 stones in Toishi City is originally the Sanada family, since it is sincerely surrendered to Sanada, why not?"

"The lord's words are wrong, if the Sanada family's territory is not taken away by the Takeda family, it is understandable, but once it is taken away by the Takeda family, and the lord takes it back from the Takeda family, what does this in and out have to do with the Sanada family, this place was taken by the lord from the Takeda family, why should it be returned to Sanada?

Also, regarding the Sanada family's rebellion, even without the help of the Sanada family, the family's 7,000 troops could defeat the Northern Shinano coalition army, and the role played by the Sanada family was just icing on the cake, and the credit was there, but it was by no means much.

Third, after all, the subordinates are from Sanada, and they are not abandoned by the lord and hired as a military advisor, if the lord seals the stone to Sanada, then how can the subordinates face the retainers of the family. So please think twice. ”

Hearing this, the clan clan understood it thoroughly, and after saying for a long time, Sanada Masayuki was afraid that once Sanada obtained the old leader, he would not be a good person in his own family. However, he didn't know that the clan had already had an idea, and it had already been planned, once the Shinano was captured, then it would definitely be rewarded, after all, the new policy he had done before could make the retainers uncomfortable for a long time, although it had been abolished, but if after winning Shinano, without some practical action, I am afraid it would be more than just a complaint. At that time, once the retainer obtains the territory, who cares whether the Sanada family is dead or alive.

Sure enough, when Sanada Masayuki stopped insisting after listening to the clan's words.

Now that the matter of submission has been agreed, the next step is to talk about the current war. The Takayama clan is not satisfied with only annihilating the Northern Shinano coalition army, since there is such a good opportunity, then the Southern Shinano coalition army is also better to be eliminated, lest after the elimination of the Northern Shinano coalition army, Takeda Katsuyori will take a risk, will ask for help from Hojo on the one hand, and lead the elite to attack, if this is the case, this battle may be protracted, with Takeda Katsuyori's character, such a thing will definitely be able to be done.
