It didn't take long to see Hattori Hanzo walk in with two people dressed as ninjas.

One of them is tall and strong, if you don't look at the clothes on his body, he will never think that he is a ninja, and this person's appearance is even more afraid to make people compliment, to say ugly, it is not counted, it can only be said that his face is too fierce, plus a wound across the face, it makes him add three points of fierceness, if a child sees his dignity, he will definitely be frightened and cry.

As long as his face is glanced at, it will definitely leave a deep impression on people, obviously, just with his respect, it is estimated that he will not have too much experience in collecting intelligence, and looking at his burly talent, I am afraid that he is not very good at lurking, is he a war ninja?

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Iero couldn't help but be overjoyed, among ninjas, war ninja is undoubtedly the rarest, maybe their martial arts are not as good as those top samurai, but if it is a battle between the two sides, even if two top martial arts samurai go together, it is not necessarily an opponent of war ninja, their attack means are enough to make up for all the shortcomings.

If he is really a war ninja, then there will undoubtedly be one more fierce general in the family, and he is a fierce general whose combat power is much stronger than Heihachiro.

Looking at him, he is probably only in his thirties, as long as there is no accident, he can fight for his family for at least twenty years, and twenty years is enough to make himself the strongest force in the world except for the Oda family.

Looking at the ninja on the other side of Hattori Hanzo, it is inferior in appearance, and it can be said that this ninja has no characteristics. His stature and appearance are ordinary, and if he has to be any different from ordinary ninjas, the only thing he has is the iron cannon he carries behind him, and from this point of view, he should be the same as the Sugitani Zenjubo of the Takayama family, a ninja who is good at using iron cannons.

Such ninjas are of little use to the current Tokugawa family, and in the eyes of Tokugawa Ieyasu, it is more ideal to hand over the iron artillery team to the samurai under his command. So he didn't really care about the ninja.

Although the three of them have not yet gotten close, Tokugawa Ieyasu has already guessed the abilities of the two ninjas.

"Subordinate Hattori Masanari (Igazaki Michishun, Takuzhi Sannojo) See the lord."

From the moment Michishun Igazaki and Takuzhi Sanori agreed to Tokugawa Ieyasu's solicitation. They could already be regarded as vassals of the Tokugawa family, so they didn't feel anything awkward about saying this.

After listening to this, Tokugawa Ieyasu just nodded. Then he said, "You two should talk about what you are good at, so that I can make arrangements." ”

"It's the lord." After answering, I only heard Igasaki Michishun say without modesty: "Back to the lord, his subordinates are war ninjas, and his own combat power is much stronger than that of other upper ninjas, so please make a decision." ”

"His subordinates are good at lurking, often lurking in front of the enemy, and using iron cannons to snipe."

After a preliminary understanding of the situation of the two, I only heard Tokugawa Ieyasu speak: "I know the way, I now accept that you two are the first to be the head." Deputy Commander of the Ninja Army, Igasaki Michishun and Hattori Hanzo are in charge of the ninja army together, and Sannojo is responsible for collecting information for his family, and if there is a meritorious service in the future, he will be rewarded. Alright, stand down. ”

In the samurai mansion of Nobuyoru Nobujun in Kai Kuni, when he heard that the lord had passed on the position of the governor to Takeda Katsuyori, instead of himself, the first heir, he couldn't help but be furious. He can barely accept it, after all, although he has the right to inherit, he is also a foreign surname in any way, but the lord is passed on to him, which he can't accept in any way.

Takeda trusts his people to be self-serving, and never puts anyone in his eyes, especially those samurai from wealthy families, how can he be a good family governor with his character.

And since the death of Takeda Yoshinobu, because he is the first heir to the throne, so the relationship between the two is even more like water and fire, if he returns to Kai, I am afraid that the first person to kill is himself, in order to protect himself, he has to take action while the army has not returned.

Unlike Takeda Katsuyori, Anayama Nobuyan not only had a good relationship with his family's direct ministers, but even those wealthy clans had very close contacts with him, so after making a decision, he immediately set off for Shinano to unite the powerful forces of the wealthy clans there, and then contact the samurai who were familiar with him to overthrow Katsuyori after he had gained a foothold.

And now there is not much time left for him, so after a brief tidying up, he took his family and cronies and went to Shinano, and his cronies were sent by him to contact the wealthy clan in Shinano.

The powerful people of the wealthy clan have not been oppressed by Takeda Katsuyori, so when they learned the news, most of them were willing to help Anayama Nobuyoki, and in a few days, although Shinano was still nominally the land of the Takeda family, but in fact it had been controlled by Anayama Nobuyoshi.

At this moment, he not only has Shinano as the foundation in his hands, but also nearly 10,000 people of the Hao clan coalition army, which seems to be in the limelight for a while, but Anayama Nobuyojun himself is not confused, he knows how elite the Takeda army is, once the war starts, not to mention that the Takeda Shangluo army is coming, even if Takeda Katsuyori only sends 3,000 Chibei to attack, it is enough to destroy his own army several times, so as soon as he gained a firm foothold in Shinano, he sent someone to contact the retainers of the Takeda family who were dissatisfied with Takeda Katsuyori before.

At this time, Takeda Katsuyori had led the army to Sunfu Castle, because there was little stop along the way, the army under his command was already tired, he wanted to rest in this city for three days, and then lead the army back to Kofu, but before he could take off the armor on his body, he saw Nagasaka Nagasaka running into the living room in a hurry, and shouted: "My lord, the big thing is not good, since the Anayama Nobujun learned that the lord succeeded him as the governor, he fled to Shinano, and entangled the Shinano wealthy clan of nearly 10,000 troops to be unfavorable to the lord, and asked the lord to decide." ”

And as soon as he finished speaking, Katsushi of the trace also ran recently, although Nagasaka Nagakan and Katsuzi of the trace are not brave people, and they can only be regarded as ordinary in internal affairs, but the two of them can speak well, so they are deeply trusted and trusted by Takeda.

And Takeda Katsuyori treats the two of them can be called pampered, when he just succeeded to the governor, he didn't ask about the merits, and directly promoted the identity of the two from the foot to the general, which made many retainers who were already dissatisfied with him feel even more angry, the lord favored the ministers This is a sign of destruction, and as the retainers of the Takeda family, how do they want to see the destruction of their family, so they have spoken out to persuade each other, hoping that the lord can take back his life.

Takeda Katsuyori didn't take these retainers in his eyes, how could he listen to their persuasion, and after scolding the retainers, including Baba Nobubo, he still promoted the two of them in his own way.

But before the two of them were happy for a few days, they ran into this incident, and they couldn't be happy.

After hearing the news, Takeda Katsuyori did not rest after scolding Anayama Nobuyojun, and immediately led a large army to Shinano to quell the rebellion, he originally thought that the other side only had nearly 10,000 peasant soldiers under his command, but his side had 30,000 elites, including 3,000 banners, and it was not easy to wipe out the other party with such an army.

And this time, not only can you eliminate Cave Mountain Shinjun, even those wealthy clans, you can finally eliminate them justifiably, which is not a happy event for yourself.

But when the army marched to Kai, he couldn't be happy, these days, every day, there will be samurai leading the army to leave quietly, less than dozens of people, more than hundreds, at first Takeda Katsuyori did not pay attention, but as more and more people left, he finally thought that this was probably Anayama Nobuyan was making trouble, so he immediately ordered that all the samurai who dared to leave without permission would exterminate the entire clan.

As soon as such an order was issued, the number of people who left not only did not decrease, but increased sharply, and at first, most of these samurai who did not leave just did not want to participate in the battle between Takeda Katsuyori and Anayama Nobuyoki, so at the beginning, there were not many people who led the army to Shinano's Anayama Nobuyuki, but only led the army back to their own territory, but after the name of Takeda Katsuyori was issued, they were forced to a dead end.

If you don't go to Cave Mountain Shinjun, then he will be defeated, and when this battle is over, he will also be exterminated, and the lord has no feelings for his own people, so they don't doubt that he will let himself go softly.

In this way, even if you don't want to go to Anayama Nobuyo, the difference in numbers between the two sides will also be reduced rapidly, and when Takeda Katsuyori leads the army to the destination, there are only 20,000 troops left, and Anayama Nobuyoshi has gathered 12,000 banners and 8,000 peasant soldiers around him, and the number has reached 20,000.

Although the number of people is comparable, but the combat power is a world of difference, in order to make up for the lack of combat power, and limit the combat power of the red preparation, Anayama Nobuyan did not engage in field warfare with him at all, but only defended in the city, so that Takeda Katsuyori had no idea for a while, and the war also entered a stalemate.

Such news soon reached the ears of Tokugawa Ieyasu. When the authenticity of the news was confirmed, Tokugawa Ieyasu almost fainted with excitement.

The civil strife of the Takeda family will be the best time for him to step into a strong daimyo, and the land of the Tokugawa family is sandwiched between the two powerful Oda and Takeda, and it is not easy to develop.

He has always believed that he is the most unfortunate person among the samurai in the world, before the Yuan subjugation, he was a hostage, and finally waited until the Imagawa family perished, and he risked the destruction of his family name to control Mikawa, but before he could gain a firm foothold, a large-scale outbreak in Mikawa had always been a smash, and the strength that he had worked so hard to accumulate was also seriously lost in this battle.

And the explosion that has always been extinguished, the Takeda family began to go to Luo again, and the battle of Mikata was even more dangerous than when he won Mikawa, but now all this has passed. Your support is my biggest motivation. m
