Chapter 238: The Takeda Family in Preparation
In the assessment room of the Takeda Pavilion, the Takeda family governor Takeda Shingen was looking through the information that had been sent recently. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lord!" A voice came from outside, breaking the silence inside.
"It's Kotaka, come in and sit~" Takeda Shingen said enthusiastically. For Sanada Yutaka, he attaches great importance to him. Because since the fourth battle of Kawanakajima that broke out with the Uesugi family in 1561, after the death of his younger brother Takeda Nobushihiro and military Yamamoto Lesuke in battle, the only thing he could help him strategically was Sanada Yukitaka.
Although he also had excellent retainers such as Baba Nobubo, Iitomi Masakakei, Takasaka Masanobu, and Naito Masatyo, they were more adept at marching and fighting. For the part of strategy, it is far less than Sanada Yutaka to be more in line with Takeda Shingen's intentions.
"Kotaka, come and take a look at this information, hehe~ But it's really interesting~" Takeda Shingen smiled, and then handed the paperwork in his hand to Sanada Yutaka.
Sanada Yutaka took a look, but it was about Mikawa's always been a thing. Well, after Nishi-Mikawa was pacified by Oda Yoshinobu for the most part, the chaos in Mikawa was greatly improved. For example, Sakai Tadashi and others began to stop the attack, and continued to build fortresses to resist Oda Yoshinobu's counterattack, so that spies from various forces were finally able to enter Mikawa to find out the situation.
"What?!" The more Sanada Yutaka looked, the more shocked he became, and it was obvious that the content shown in the information was more than he had imagined.
"My lord! This ......" Sanada Yutaka looked at Takeda Shingen in disbelief, as if he didn't quite believe the authenticity of this information.
It's just a pity that seeing Sanada Yutaka's expression, Takeda Shingen laughed directly, "Haha! Can't think of it, right? However, there is no need to question the authenticity of this information, I have repeatedly asked the ninja who brought this information back, and it should be true. ”
"This ...... I didn't expect the folk rumors to be true......" Sanada Yutaka sighed in a low voice.
"Yes, I didn't expect that Oda Yoshinobu was not only excellent in martial arts, but also so powerful in leading troops to fight...... "Takeda Shingen also sighed.
"So...... Is there anything going on with the lord's subordinates? Sanada asked in a deep voice after putting the information down.
"You...... Isn't it okay to sigh with me? Takeda Shingen smiled bitterly and shook his head, obviously a little helpless about Sanada Yutaka's pragmatic attitude.
However, Takeda Shingen's words are just jokes, if there is one of the most pragmatic ideas in the entire Takeda family, then it is definitely Takeda Shingen, he is an absolute realist.
"Actually, I came to you this time mainly to ask you about the future strategy ...... of your family," Takeda Shingen said with a serious expression.
"The lord wants to attack Suruga?" Sanada Yutaka asked directly, without the slightest scruple because the Imagawa family was still an ally of the Takeda family at this time. However, there is nothing to scruple about, after all, Takeda Shingen's idea of beating Suruga, although it is not well known, is not news among the important ministers of the Takeda family.
"No, it's not time to attack Suruga." Takeda Shingen said lightly, and he didn't know whether it was true or false. "I'm looking for you this time, mainly for the Uesugi family......"
"Huh? Does the lord still want to continue the battle with the Uesugi family? Sanada Yutaka looked at Takeda Shingen suspiciously, obviously Takeda Shingen's words were completely out of his expectations.
"Well, it's not really, after all, the main family and the Uesugi family have fought for so many years, and they have lost countless soldiers and financial resources, but they have gained nothing......" Takeda Shingen sighed.
"What does the lord mean ......"
"Hida ......"
"The desolate land?" Sanada Yutaka muttered to himself.
"Well, even though it's a barren place, it has mountains of gold!" Takeda Shingen said lightly. Hearing this, Sanada Yutaka understood why Takeda Shingen suddenly wanted to attack Hida on a whim. After all, the Takeda family started with a gold mountain, and I'm afraid no one can understand the meaning of a gold mountain for a daimyo .
"And it's not just Jinshan's problem." Takeda Shingen looked at Sanada Kotaka and said lightly, "If the main family wants to attack Suruga in the future, then the Uesugi family is a very big problem." If he can take down Hida and threaten Echichu, at least it will be able to distract the Uesugi family. ”
After speaking, Takeda Shingen looked at Sanada Kotaka with a serious expression and said, "However, the only one I can really rely on is Kotaka you!" Only you can really block the attack of the Uesugi family! ”
"Please rest assured! The subordinates must swear to stop the Uesugi family! So that the lord can attack Imagawa with peace of mind! Sanada Yutaka hurriedly bowed to the ground and said respectfully.
"Hmm." Takeda Shingen nodded, and then suddenly smiled, "But you don't have to be in such a hurry, the matter of attacking Imagawa will have to be another two years, and there is one more thing to find you today, that is, about the alliance with the Oda family." ”
Hearing this, Sanada Yutaka thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "My lord, now that the Oda family has formed a rising trend, if there are no accidents, I believe that it will be difficult for the Saito family to resist the attack of the Oda family." How to form an alliance with the Oda family, there is no reason for his subordinates to oppose it. ”
Then the two talked for a while, and just as Sanada was about to leave, a ninja suddenly appeared in the room.
"My lord! The person in charge of monitoring the shrine maiden's dojo in Joshita Town, Youzu Castle, reported that Chiyome Mochizuki was missing, and all four ninjas who were in charge of protecting and monitoring her around her were killed. After his questioning and investigation, it is estimated that the time will be ugly today. The ninja whispered.
"What?!" Hearing this, Takeda Shingen stood up suddenly. And Sanada Yutaka, who was about to leave, couldn't help but stop leaving.
"What the hell is going on?!" Shingen Takeda glared at the ninja angrily, and I was afraid that if this ninja couldn't give a reasonable explanation, then he would definitely die an ugly death.
The ninja naturally knew Takeda Shingen's temper, and hurriedly explained the cause and effect. It's just that the more he said, the darker Shingen's face became.
Hawkers,It's also something that can't be helped.,Chiyo Mochizuki has a very special use for him.,And now that she's been snatched away.,So many things have to be forced to stop.。 Although strictly speaking, the loss to the Takeda family will not be very large, but I believe that no matter who hears this kind of thing, it will definitely not be very comfortable, right?
"Check! Be sure to check it out for me! Takeda Shingen said coldly.
"Yes!"
After the ninja disappeared, Sanada Kotaka looked at Takeda Shingen's face, with a look of wanting to say but not daring to say it, Takeda Shingen saw this and immediately said, "Kotaka, did you find something?!" ”
"My lord......" Sanada Yutaka hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered, "According to the subordinates, it seems that the strength of Chiyo Mochizuki is not enough to kill those ninjas before they can react." Otherwise, she wouldn't have done it today. ”
"Huh? You mean there are other people involved? Takeda Shingen's gaze suddenly became very dangerous.
"The subordinates are just guessing......" Sanada Yutaka said in a low voice, he did have a guess, but that guess was a very dangerous one for a retainer. If there was no need, he really didn't want to get himself and the Sanada family into the Takeda family's housework.
"Well, you go down." Takeda Shingen nodded and said. Hearing this, Sanada Yutaka immediately took his leave and left.
After Sanada Yutaka left, Takeda Shingen slowly stood up and walked into the courtyard outside. "Taro...... Don't push me......" Shingen Takeda muttered.
Three Rivers.
The day after Matsudaira Ieyasu gave the order, Sakai Tadaji, as the number one retainer of the Matsudaira family today, directly led the rest of the Sakai family to attack Ueno Castle. On the other hand, Okubo Tadashi and others also attacked the rebels around the territory.
On the other hand, after getting the 1,000 men from Matsudaira Ieyasu, Oda Yoshinobu shamelessly distributed the troops directly and evenly to Keiji Maeda, with no 25 Grim Reapers, 125 Iron Gunners and 350 pikemen. Well, it's fair enough to have parts and rounds, right?
Obviously, Oda Yoshinobu was too lazy to think about how to allocate troops, but for Maeda Keiji and others, this distribution model could not be better.
"Xingjiu, this time we must compete for a victory!" Keiji Maeda unceremoniously declared war on his good friend Yukihisa Shiraki. Only this time, it obviously won't just be a one-man show between the two of them.
"Keiji, Xingjiu, I'm sorry, this time, I will definitely be the first to capture the castle." Shimasa, who has never participated in competitions, opened his mouth, and when it comes to martial arts, he admits that he is far inferior to Keiji Maeda and Yukihisa Shiraki. But when it comes to commanding troops to fight, he will never admit and absolutely cannot accept the result of not being the first.
Although Fernand on the side was silent, looking at his sparkling gaze, he could guess that he was not willing to be left behind.
Seeing this, Keiji Maeda suddenly laughed and said, "Okay! In that case, let's compete to see who is the number one retainer under the lord's command! ”
It's just that the echo that should have received a fierce response, Keiji Maeda inexplicably found that everyone was looking at him with a look of SB. Just when he was inexplicable, the helpless voice of Honda Tadakatsu behind him came, "Master, do you want to fight with Lord Li and Lord Dazhu?" ”
"Uh......" Keiji Maeda instantly entered a petrified state when he heard this, but he reacted quickly, only to see him cough dryly twice, and then suddenly laughed, "Okay! In that case, let's compete to see who is the chief of the male retainers under the lord's command! ”
"Nima, was that part cut out just now? It's so good to reduce, right? Everyone thought speechlessly.
Ahem...... Seems to be off topic.
In short, this time he led the troops alone, whether it was Shiraki Yukihisa, who was paralyzed by Keiji Maeda, or Fernand, a foreigner near the left side of the silent male island, they paid very, very much attention. After all, since ancient times, there has been no one in the first and no second in martial arts, and since he has become a samurai, there is no one who does not want to be the best one!
"Father, they're all gone." Matsudaira Ieyasu bowed down in front of Oda Yoshinobu and said respectfully.
"Well, Ieyasu, you've done a good job this time, and you're finally a little bit like you used to be. Tsk, to be honest, if you still show grinding and chirping this time, I will definitely beat you up~" Oda Yoshinobu laughed.
"Hehe, that kid is really lucky, Father's fist, but the kid doesn't want to try again." Matsudaira Ieyasu also smiled, as if he thought of the time when he was beaten by Oda Yoshinobu inexplicably when he was in Nakono Castle.
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu laughed again, obviously thinking of that time. Sometimes, it's really hard for him to imagine that he and Matsudaira Ieyasu will become father and son, and they will rack their brains to help him.
"By the way, has Hanzo already sent out?" Oda Yoshinobu smiled, and suddenly asked with a serious face.
"Yes, Hanzo personally went to monitor the temple, and the other three temples and Kira Yoshiaki also sent people to monitor it. However, according to the rewards of this time, it seems that in addition to strengthening the defense facilities of the temple, they only keep calling believers into the temple, and it seems that they are planning to defend it. Matsudaira Ieyasu said that the group of monks who swore an empty oath, and his tone was full of disdain.
You can't blame Matsudaira Ieyasu for looking down on them, think about it carefully, he swears that he has tens of thousands of troops, even if he was defeated by Oda Yoshinobu at night before, but as long as he gives an order, it is obvious that he can still make a comeback at any time, but after so much time, he has been staying in the temple and not daring to come out......
"Heh, what a bunch of stupid bald donkeys, at this level, dare to learn from others to play?" Oda Yoshinobu sneered, then looked down at Usui in his arms and asked with a smile, "You said yes, right?" Beauty~"
It's a pity that Usui only gave Oda Yoshinobu a big roll of his eyes in return. In other words, although it was only because of Oda Yoshinobu's strength and Matsudaira Ieyasu's plea at first, but during this time, Usui was conquered by Oda Yoshinobu both psychologically and physically. Well, it's a little dirty. But Oda Yoshinobu is a dirty man...... Ahem, samurai!
Oda Yoshinobu and Matsudaira Ieyasu kept drinking and chatting, maybe because they had been a little overwhelmed before, right? This time, Matsudaira Ieyasu was really drunk.
Indeed, a problem that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time was now about to be completely solved, and he could not be unhappy.
"Ieyasu, you've worked too hard during this time, you haven't tasted a woman for a long time, right?" Oda Yoshinobu put his arms around Usui and pushed Yu Wan into Matsudaira Ieyasu's arms, "Hehe, I can help you train this maid quite well~"
Nephrite entered his arms, and Matsudaira Ieyasu was not hypocritical, hugging Yu Wan for a while. I don't know how long it took, but the clothes on the two women became less and less, and then a seductive voice sounded.
"Your Highness...... Lord Oda ...... "Yu Wan lay on the ground and looked at the two men in front of him and behind him, his face flushed as if he could drip blood.
