28, cutting-edge "general star"

"Your Highness the Stars...... Please forgive me for being rude all along! After Mieda Mori left, Yasukei Amano said excitedly, "You are worthy of being a real samurai!" For such conditions, even if you choose to join Takeda, I don't think there will be any criticism in the world! ”

"Amano-sama has won the award, and now that I think about it, I regret my refusal just now!" Before I knew it, I was telling the truth, and perhaps this was a sign of a very conflicted feeling. "The reason why Shingen Takeda made such a tempting suggestion is naturally because of his own plans and benefits, and I also believe that he will fulfill his promise! But it's not a matter of one plus one equals two, and it's not the same as when I used to do business, 'the highest price gets'. Although I am not a genealogical minister of the Oda family, and I can't talk about any generational kindness, but I am carried by the right general, and it can be said that without him, I would not be where I am today, so I will never do anything to be sorry for him first! ”

"Rare, rare! Even Mikawa ......, who has a tradition of loyalty since ancient times," probably remembered that not long ago, the lord of Inui Castle of the same clan, Amano Keikan, threw himself at the Takeda Army, and he shook his head again and again and sighed and left.

"Shigeji, what do you think about this?" I said, looking at his back.

"I have no doubt about my lord's decision, and I know that I can't waver in the slightest at this time! But ......" Takenaka Hanbei also shook his head and sighed. "But when I heard Mamoru Mieda say about the conditions of the Takeda family, I couldn't help but be excited! Thinking of the status and power of the Western Kingdom and participating in the decision-making of the world at once, and the absolute commitment made by Takeda Shingen to this, I really don't know if I will have the courage to refuse on the spot like the lord! ”

"Maybe that's what 'humanity' is called, but you'd be wrong to think I really don't feel anything!" I smiled wryly and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, this matter is a stop, let's get ready to deal with the 'rear soldiers' of the Takeda family!" ”

***************************************************

In the tent of the commander of the Chinese army in the Takeda military camp outside Noda Castle, Takeda Shingen sat comfortably on a high-backed chair. The thirty or so generals directly under the Takeda family sat on both sides of the front of them, listening to the return of the three edated guards together.

Takeda Shingen had already taken off his armor at this moment, and the white yak-tailed helmet was also placed on the several cases in front of him, and it was still difficult to hide his majesty in casual civilian clothes. After getting off the horse, you will find that he is not as tall as he looks, that is, he is average! But it is indeed very stout, and it can really be described by the four words "tiger's back" and "bear's waist". His face was covered with meat, and his skin was dark and rough, and his upper lip was covered with a beard as thick as a water chestnut, and the ends of his cheeks were messy. Coupled with a freshly shaved oily and big bald head, he looks like a thug. But such a person has a pair of calm and wise eyes, so calm that the people who see it are chilled, but the eyes themselves are not cold.

"Father!" After listening to the report of the three eda morito, Takeda Katsuyori on the side suddenly rose, and his appearance inherited more of his mother's beauty. "The Xingqing clan is arrogant and rude, and he actually treats his father so kindly! It's better to immediately enter Ina Castle and kill them all, and then mention the army to kill, with the invincible Koshu army in my world, what Oda Nobunaga, we can definitely destroy them completely! ”

"Wrong...... I was really wrong......" Takeda Shingen stared ahead unaware of his son's words, and his muttering made Takeda Katsuyori breathe a sigh of relief. "Originally a businessman, he was now in close contact with Sakai Town, and he stayed in Hanoi for a short time. I should add Ho Quan, Hanoi ......"

"Father?!" Takeda's voice was raised, and his words almost made him recite them. "You've already given him such good conditions, and let me and Takeomaru go as hostages! What kind of thing is this Zhuxing Qing clan, let his sister go to make a side room for him? This is not for the world to ......"

"Shiro...... Takeda Shingen was not infected by his son's emotions, but on the contrary, he felt some regret for his son's immaturity. I admit that the cavalry of the Zhuxing Qing clan is very strong, but what I fancy is not these, as long as we pull him over, in fact, the hegemony of is already within reach! Among the subordinates of the Zhuxing Qing clan, not many came from within the Oda family, and most of these people were loyal to him alone. Once the Seiyoshi clan decides to return to the throne, then his troops in Tajima and Tango, plus the wealthy clans attached to him, will have more than 20,000 men and horses in Nishikinki to respond to our actions, and the change in the stance of this force will make Honganji completely determined, and Matsunaga Shu will no longer wait and see. In this way, although we have not yet entered Kyoto, Kyoto is actually ours! ”

"But father! This condition is also ...... "Takeda Katsuyori still wants to argue."

"Actually, we didn't lose anything...... "Takeda Shingen patiently taught his son, how much he hoped that his son would understand his decision-making! But now it feels like a singer has performed to his heart's content, and the audience asks strangely, "What are you doing?" "Same." The land of the West is full of complex roads, factions, and entrenched Maori families! The Celestial Clan may be able to defeat the Maori clan in a few years, but it is unrealistic to uproot their power. Even if we succeed in Shangluo, there are still many things to do, not only the Kanto and Tohoku must be pacified, but also the Shikoku and Kyushu, which will enter the army, wouldn't it be bad to have those 'troubles' for us to stabilize the western country? Give me another 10 years, and the Takeda family will not just grasp the hegemony, but really pinch the world in the palm of their hands! I made a serious mistake in the past, and that was to delay Kenshin Uesugi for too long. He may be a commendable opponent on the battlefield, but persistence like him is like a stone, and it is not enough to seal the way to the world. With the support of the Zhuxing Kiyoshi clan, we can even master with little to no loss of strength. It's just that your sister is a little wronged, but it's worth it to marry a hero like Zhuxing Qing who is enough to affect the situation in the world! Don't just keep your eyes on, just one Oda Nobunaga, you should want to make all the strong people in the world kneel at your feet! In order to achieve the ultimate goal as soon as possible, sometimes temporary compromises are also necessary! ”

"Yes!" Katsuyori Takeda is still not convinced.

"Lord, then what are we going to ......do next," Shan Changjing asked cautiously.

"Everything is only after a battle......" Takeda Shingen's tone was a little regretful, but not the slightest waver. I commanded ......"

"Report~!" A herald ran into the tent and knelt on one knee in the center. "Urgent! A detachment of Oda cavalry suddenly appeared in Kai territory! ”

"What?!" Several people exclaimed together.

"How did they get there?" Katsuyori Takeda walked over and grabbed him by the collar and lifted it up, roaring loudly.

"A few days ago, when Wise Mitsuhide went out of the city to attack and disturb, this unit took advantage of the shrinkage of our army to mix up,......" the herald explained with a pale face: "They did not take the official road of Dongshan, but sneaked into Kai along the deserted path trodden by some herb pickers and woodcutters. It seems that they are very familiar with the situation in the area of Minami Shinano, and the road they took not only avoided the garrison sentry posts, but some of them did not even know about the local wealthy families! And they disguised themselves as Kiso-sama's troops, so they weren't discovered until they entered Kai......"

"How many people? Who is the commander-in-chief? Just when Takeda Katsuyori was about to have a seizure, Takeda Shingen stopped him with a calm voice.

"Three...... Three hundred! The herald replied, turning his head. According to the ninja's investigation of their camp, it should be Ikeda Tsuneko who is in charge of this force! ”

"Three hundred?" Hearing this number, many people in the big tent breathed a sigh of relief.

Takeda Shingen waved his hand to let the herald go down, and his eyes looked a little wandering for the first time. "Three hundred? …… What exactly do they want to do? ......" He began to fall into deep thought, and everyone stared at him nervously. "Wonderful...... It's wonderful...... It's just amazing...... This Ikeda Hengxing ......" Takeda Shingen's face gradually brightened, and finally he actually laughed.

"Father, Ikeda Hengxing is looking for death!" Takeda Katsuyori couldn't help it again. "Our army has 2,000 garrisons in Hesaki, and they will definitely not be able to take it!"

"Shiro Gongzi is right!" Katsuzi also said excitedly: "Three hundred cavalry may be able to cause certain losses in a surprise attack, but it is a complete joke to attack the city!" With Sanada Yutaka-sama in Kai, it's absolutely foolproof! ”

"Foolproof things have never existed, never before! Not now! There will never be one in the future! Takeda Shingen glared at Katsushi sternly, and then sighed and said, "Besides, there are people who are alone in the in-depth attack of Kai Fei and their resourcefulness and courage, and they will not make any 'jokes'!" Ay~! Although Kotaka outwitted me, by the time he responded, the enemy had already done what he should have done! ......He asked Naito again, "I don't remember any strange behavior of this Ikeda Hengxing, but this time his behavior is so unbelievable!" Am I mistaken? Or is something missing? ”

"Your lord, you are not mistaken!" Naito Masatoyo hurriedly added: "Ikeda Tsuneko was born into the Owari family and has the trust of Oda Nobunaga! The ascension was very smooth, but although there were many merits, it was something that killed the enemy bravely. According to past information, this person's talent seems to be very ordinary! ”

"It's not 'ordinary' this time, is it that God also protects the Oda family?" Wu Tian Xinxuan sighed with emotion and began to issue orders. "Tiger Yin!"

"In!" The fierce general Yuan Huyin came to the front to wait.

"You lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Junfu immediately!" Takeda Shingen's majestic order arrived.

"Yes!" Although Yuan Huyin agreed loudly, he did not move.

"So, what are you waiting for?" Shingen Takeda discovered this.

"The subordinates want to ask the lord to make it clear the intention of the minister's action!" Yuan Huyin asked.

"You'll understand when you go!" Takeda Shingen said with his eyes in the sky.

"Yes!" Yuan Hu Yinman retreated suspiciously.

"Tiger Yin!" Just as he walked to the tent door, Takeda Shingen suddenly stopped him again.

"Yes!" He immediately rolled over and came back.

"What's the matter...... I won't blame you, do your best! After a while, Takeda Shingen said this even more puzzling sentence. Changjing, Xinfang! "After Yuan Huyin left, he called Changjing and Machang Xinfang in Shanxian County." I order you to lead the Red Reserve cavalry as the vanguard, and return to Kai along Ina Street by way of Minami Shinano, and the army will set off in 3 days! ”

"Yes!" Although no one understood what he meant, he instinctively agreed.

"Shoshin, Shinjun, Shinshigeru, Shoji!" Takeda Shingen suddenly called out 4 people, Takasaka Masanobu, Anayama Nobujun, Oyamada Nobushige, and Tsuchiya Shoji. "I order the four of you to lead your troops and storm Ina Castle within 3 days!"

"Lordship......" Takeda Nobuyoru asked hesitantly, "Since the lord has decided to withdraw his troops, why do you want to attack Inax?" ”

"The reason why I don't attack Hamamatsu is because Tokugawa Ieyasu will surrender after my success in Shangluo, and his attitude has nothing to do at the moment!" Takeda Shingen smiled slightly and said, "...... Wouldn't it be rude for me to abandon the Xingqing clan in Ina City today? We may not have a chance to fight again in the future, even if it is just to show respect, we must attack! ”
