"My lord, my subordinates think that the strategy that Lord Sakai said is a little inappropriate, although the Takayama Army is fighting in Uehara Castle, but after all, it has not invaded Kai, once the family goes out first, then Takeda Katsuyori will definitely transfer the army to the south, if this is the case, then once the family and the Takeda Army fight, the Takayama Army suddenly marches east to capture Kai, what should the family do?" I only heard Ishikawa Shumasa speak.

And this was also what Tokugawa Ieyasu was worried about, so he didn't plan to take such a strategy from the beginning.

"Lord, since you can't go out first, it's better to wait for the battle between the Gao Shan Army and the Takeda Army, and then the family will go out again, in this way, neither the Takeda Army nor the Gao Mountain Army will have the ability to disrupt the family's strategy."

This idea was thought up by Torii Mototada, and it was worthy of the retainers who followed Tokugawa Ieyasu when he was still a hostage, so it can be said that his idea went with Tokugawa Ieyasu's thoughts.

However, without waiting for others to refute it, Tokugawa Ieyasu himself vetoed this proposal first, all because half a year ago, the Takayama clan used this trick to seriously play himself once, making himself lose face. What if the Gaoshan Clan Sect is still just posturing this time, and does not send troops to Kai? So what should I do, after all, the initiative is not in my hands at all now. Moreover, the Takayama family can take advantage of this time to control Shinano, and the family can't afford it, once the Takayama family has full control of Shinano, then they can recruit enough troops, and at that time, in the army Kai, I am afraid it will be like a whirlwind. He can wait for the Gaoshan Clan, but he can't.

"What else do you think?" Obviously, neither of these proposals satisfied him. So I only heard Tokugawa Ieyasu ask again.

"My lord. subordinates think. The reason why the lord hesitated was entirely because he didn't understand the attitude of the Takayama clan now, and the last time it was also a good opportunity to capture Kai, but because the Takayama clan had always been hostile to the family, the family would give up, and the adults only thought that this might be a trick of the Takayama clan, but why don't you think about it, the Takayama clan sect has been delaying the attack on Kai. Is this another overture of favor to his family? ”

As soon as Ishikawa Shumasa's words came out, whether it was Tokugawa Ieyasu or the retainers, his eyes couldn't help but light up, yes, the Takayama clan can show favor to the family for the first time, why can't there be a second time.

As the idea was opened, the people present couldn't help but think that if it was really said, the family and the Gaoshan clan had no grudge against their father. There is no hatred of taking his wife, although the hatred of the Gaoshan clan is a little inexplicable. But it's definitely not irreconcilable.,Maybe it's because it's unwilling to let the Oda family form an alliance with the family.,But at the beginning, it was just a middle-to-lower-level samurai of the Oda family.,And the family is only a castle of Okazaki.,It's now a veritable big name.,And the family has the land of the Three Kingdoms.,The horizons of both sides are constantly improving.,Like the previous contradictions, it seems that it's nothing at all now.,In this case, what's irresolvable., Besides, now that both families are targeting the eastern country, looking at the eastern country, I am afraid that the family will be able to unite with it, after all, the Tokugawa family is also an ally of the Oda family.

However, they all forgot or selectively forgot one thing, that is, the assassination of the Takayama clan and the death of Hatsune, but they should be glad that although the Takayama clan had long suspected that it was the Tokugawa family who killed Hatsune in the first place, there was no evidence, so they had to continue the investigation.

The more Tokugawa Ieyasu and his retainers thought about it, the more justified they felt, and the more they thought about it, the more absolute it became that the Takayama clan's overtures should be sincere.

So after thinking about it for a while, I only heard Tokugawa Ieyasu say: "Now it's just a guess for you to wait, but whether the Takayama clan thinks so or not is not conclusive." Although Tokugawa Ieyasu thought about the same thing as his retainers, he still didn't make a decision until the matter was clear.

"Lord, this matter is easy to do, it is better to send someone to Gaoshan City, Gaoshan Lord is also a daimyo now, once he is willing to reconcile with his family, then he will definitely not regret it, otherwise it will be difficult to stop the world from laughing."

"That's reasonable, I don't know if any of you would like to send an envoy to Takayama City?"

"My subordinates have dealt with Lord Takayama before, so it's better to let my subordinates go." Ishikawa Shumasa couldn't help but speak.

"Lord, since the subordinates have been loyal to the lord, they have made every inch, and the last time they also increased the losses of the lord, and the subordinates are willing to go and make up for their mistakes." Anayama Nobuyojun also spoke.

As for the others who are self-aware, they don't speak, after all, they are going to face the Takayama clan known as the fox of Owari, if they go by themselves, I'm afraid they won't know what they are playing.

Tokugawa Ieyasu thought about it, and finally let Ishikawa Shumasa go, this person has followed him for many years, not only is he outstanding, but he has also had dealings with the Takayama clan, and he has a deep understanding of his attitude, so that he can go to himself without worry.

During this period, in addition to confronting the Takeda army, the Takayama army focused on pacifying the bandits in the territory, which was the best for the Takayama family's human army, after all, they had been traveling through the mountains and rivers before they were loyal to the Takayama family, so they were more than those peasant soldiers.

The clan didn't interfere too much with this, after all, this matter was really nothing to the Gao Shan family.

Although the war in the territory is still the same, but it does not prevent the Gao Shan family from putting on the lanterns, the young master has now completed the initial battle, and has already led the army back shortly after the ceremony has been held Yuan Dress, since the Yuan Costume then this wedding must be carried out.

On the day of Gentaro Nobukatsu Motofu, the clan ordered the head of the Takayama clan to carry the bride price and go to the castle of Akechi Mitsuhide to meet Tamako, because there is a marriage contract, and now the power of the Takayama clan is in full swing in the Oda family, so the wise side of the family envoy is not only served by the brother of the wise Mitsuhide Mitsutaka himself, and on the third day of the departure of the family team, after arranging the affairs of the family, he personally went to Takayama City, how could he miss this opportunity to get close to the Takayama clan, in addition, There is one more thing that Akechi Mitsuhide wants to ask the Takayama clan for advice in person.

However, because Sakamoto Castle is not close to Takayama Castle and is not a marching battle, the speed is not very fast. So when Akechi Mitsuhide had already arrived at Takayama City, the send-off team had only gone the ordinary distance, which made Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly very embarrassed, after all, if he went to meet the Takayama Clan Sect now, wouldn't it seem a little too eager, if he didn't go, he couldn't spend a month or two outside the city.

In the end, Akechi Mitsuhide gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, still walking towards Takayama Castle.

"Report to the lord, the wise lord will visit in person, and ask the lord to decide."

"What wise lord is coming? Please, no, you will come with me at once. When the clan that was praising Gentaro heard the news, he immediately stood up and walked quickly towards the outside of the city. He really didn't expect Akechi Mitsuhide to come at this time, although he knew that he would definitely come back, but at least he had to wait until the family sending team arrived.

"Mitsuhide has seen Takayama-sama." Seeing that the clan sect personally came out to greet him, Wise Mitsuhide immediately stepped forward and said embarrassedly.

However, the clan didn't care much about this, only to see that after he returned the salute first, he took Wise Mitsuhide's hand and walked towards the city. After all, the fact that Akechi Mitsuhide came at this time was enough to show his attitude.

Since the clan and Akechi Mitsuhide talked all the way about the current situation, in addition to that, they were full of praise for Gentaro Nobukatsu along the way.

After everyone sat down, they began to talk about the marriage of the two children, after all, the Gao Shan family and the wise family are not small families, this marriage can not be too casual, such as who to invite, how to arrange, what kind of wedding to hold This is all particular, if it is arranged randomly, then it is difficult for the two families not to be ridiculed by others.

After finally having a rough arrangement, I only heard the Takayama clan ask, "In addition to the marriage between Shinsheng and Tamako, is there anything else that the clan needs to help with?" If this is the case, then please also ask your Excellency to say, with the current relationship between you and me, if the Takayama family can do it, the clan will not stand idly by. ”

At the beginning, the clan thought that it was really just for the children's marriage, but during the conversation, the clan found that Akechi Mitsuhide's mind did not seem to be all used on this matter, and now in addition to his own trouble in Xinjia, the world is relatively peaceful, and the Oda family has no war, what is this Akechi Mitsuhide thinking, so the Takayama clan will have this question.

Akechi Mitsuhide came here to listen to the opinions of the Takayama clan, so seeing that he opened his mouth to inquire, Akechi Mitsuhide groaned a little and then said: "Among the retainers of this family, only Takayama-sama knows the most about the new ideas of the lord, and there is something unclear below, so in addition to agreeing on the marriage of Tamako and Gentaro, I have come to ask you for advice." ”

The clan heard that there was really something else going on, and I was afraid that this matter also involved Oda Nobunaga, so he couldn't help but ignore it, and saw that the clan changed his casualness just now, and asked cautiously: "I don't know what is wrong with Lord Wise?" ”

"Takayama-sama, as far as I know, the lord plans to arrange for Yongji to marry His Majesty the Emperor, and the lord wants to inherit the throne once Yonghime has a son in the future, so can Takayama-sama know about this?"

When Wise Mitsuhide finished speaking, the clan couldn't help but smile, he had heard about it, but he didn't take it too seriously, no matter who the emperor replaced, it didn't matter the overall situation, after all, as long as he was not in power, he would have no impact on himself and the world at all, so he just listened to the clan and said: "Wise lord, this matter is indeed known below, although the lord is tougher, but this seems to be not only not harmful to the family, but also has unspeakable benefits, is the wise Lord too sensitive." ”

After the clan finished speaking, he only heard Akechi Mitsuhide sigh and said, "It seems that the world says that Lord Takayama knows the mind of the lord well, but it is an exaggeration. ”

The clan couldn't help frowning, and said, "Wise lord, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. ”

"In that case, then I will say bluntly that the goal of the lord is not to put his grandson in charge of the imperial family, but to abolish the emperor." (To be continued......)
