Ieyasu returned to Okazaki, although we mentioned earlier that the Mikawa Soul is awesome, this spiritual belief is awesome. But no matter how awesome the spiritual belief is, it can't be eaten. The people can trust without any reason that you will lead them back to the country, but you can't, and there is a lot of preparation that goes into making such a difficult event as the restoration of the country. A group of people gathered and took a map of all Japan and spread it out to talk nonsense, these people said that we should repair relations with the Imagawa family and let your son continue to be a hostage over there, some people said that the Imagawa family was killed, damn these grandsons have been squeezing us for so long, and they can't bear it. I think Ieyasu definitely doesn't want to endure it, but I can't help it, after all, my wife and children are still in Junfu, what should I do? Ieyasu used this reason to prevaricate his retainers, and I believe that it is not a big deal for Ieyasu to die a wife and son...... The real reason is that he doesn't have the strength, or that he is waiting for the statements of two people, one is really stupid Imagawa Shin. One is Oda Nobunaga, who is known as a fool.

The Imagawa clan is really a standard rich second generation, with all the negative attributes of the rich second generation, among which low IQ is an attribute, I don't understand what happened, he actually returned Ieyasu's wife and children...... It is said that Ieyasu's wife, Akira Se, was ten years older than Ieyasu, and she was already a complete mature woman when she married Ieyasu. This is very bad, Ieyasu obviously likes Lori, so there are relevant historical records that Ieyasu and his wife are not in a good relationship. Nonsense! Lao Tzu likes turtle ...... However, we have reason to believe that in the 24 years before marrying Ieyasu, some harmonious things must have happened to Semei, and the one who is in harmony with Seaki is recorded in the wild history is our rich second generation Imagawa Clan, so Imagawa Clan is not very easy to deal with the rebellion of her old lover's husband (I always think it is strange here). And keeping someone else's wife, it's useless for his lover to be here, and besides, Seaki is already so old, so he simply returns it, maybe Ieyasu will change his mind. Fools will change their minds, obviously Ieyasu won't, Nima is not a person.

Here, the Imagawa clan really has no determination or intention to avenge his father...... Although it was a result that Ieyasu had already expected, Ieyasu was still very cool when he really saw this result, a fool is a fool! At this time, Sakai Tadaji brought the news that the Oda family was going to invite Ieyasu to the Cheongshu Castle Alliance, and Oda Nobunaga expressed his stance and formed an alliance!

When Ieyasu came to Nobunaga's official residence

"Haha, I'll just say that my little brother won't be someone else's little brother"

"Brother, don't come unharmed"

"Don't talk about that useless, say that the relationship between your husband and wife is not harmonious, is it true?"

"What's the matter, I live in harmony with Seaki" is obviously insincere

"Alas, I originally wanted to marry my sister Aichi to you, but the old thief Imagawa first married his niece (beast, Imagawa clan really even has his own cousin) to you, so I had to marry my daughter to your son."

"Haha, yes, yes......

When we meet again, we are no longer children, we are generals, but we can solve the problems of generals in a childlike way.

In this way, the Oda Tokugawa League, the strongest alliance in the history of the Warring States period, was established.

The role of the alliance is nothing more than economic, diplomatic, military...... In Japan's Warring States era, visual inspection was only useful for military purposes, and Ieyasu had no worries (Mikawa was between the territories of Imagawa and Oda). So he began to send troops to recover the other two castles of Mikawa, Nagajo and Yoshida. In other words, the combat effectiveness of the people of Sanhe is still leveraged, after all, with the support of the soul of Sanhe, in fact, the soul of Sanhe feels a bit like a kamikaze commando to me, why? Not afraid of death, no matter how an army rubs, as long as it is not afraid of death, its combat effectiveness is still considerable, so the lord of Nagajo Castle led the army to rout immediately after seeing the mad dog-like Mikawa army, this lord of Nagajo Castle (what is the name, I forgot) when he was a child, he and the Imagawa clan really beat Ieyasu together, what kind of bird do you think the Imagawa clan is, and the people who play with him are almost what kind of birds, let this kind of person defend the city, and no one guards the city. Mikawa was thus recovered by Ieyasu.

When the news of the fall of Mikawa reached Sunfu, Imagawa Fool didn't let out a fart, oh he was wrong, so he let out a fart and sent a piece of paper to Okazaki. I think normal people would use this to pad the table legs...... I suddenly felt like this was a protest and condemnation in our country right now...... Something, there's an egg! I especially like the words of the captain and staff officer of the ocean-going people (I don't remember the name) during the Westernization Movement, "The most powerful voice between the two countries is not the harsh rhetoric of diplomacy, but the roar of the cannons of warships" Obviously, the Imagawa clan really doesn't understand this truth, he only understands **...... However, at this time, even the eggs are not used. What is called unfilial son, this is called unfilial son! Ieyasu changed his name to Tokugawa Ieyasu after the restoration of Japan, and Japan in the future will tremble at this name!

Therefore, Ieyasu's early opponents were such a good thing, and they could only increase their experience...... It seems that Imagawa's demise is only a matter of time, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and it is unrealistic to say that the Imagawa family has no will to fight at all, and it is unrealistic to say that Ieyasu can eat several times his own territory in one go, and he still needs someone to eat with him. At this time, Nobunaga was busy with Shangluo (the highest level of dominance) and there was no empty bird here. At this time, a man named Baba Nobubo found Ieyasu, and news of the Takeda family came.

Takeda and Tokugawa form an alliance to carve up Imagawa! The cake divider is coming......

For the time being, let's talk about the religious forces, that is, the rebellion of the Ichijo sect, although others say that this incident shook Mikawa Kuniben and was the first major crisis in Ieyasu's life. However, I think this is a small thing (because it only took Ieyasu half a year to deal with this matter, what big thing can be handled in the first half of history?). At that time, Ieyasu was still recovering the three rivers, and only half of them were received, that is, when the West Three Rivers had just been recovered, a group of big bald heads ran out to make trouble by reciting the scriptures, which was the rebellion of the Yixiang Sect (known as the history of Yiyi Yi). As I said earlier, Japanese monks can get ahead, but only a few succeed, but most people want to succeed. Here are some successful people such as Shichiri Raishu in Hokuriku (place name), Honganji x Ru in Ishiyama Honganji Temple...... However, the true Dharma Ancestor of the Sect (similar to the Sixth Ancestor Huineng) is opposed to the Eternal Sect. Of course, those who oppose it are all saints and ancestors, but unfortunately not all monks are Dharma ancestors...... Monks are also human beings, and there are also **, and they also want to dominate (similar to Islamic Jihad, so those who wage religious wars are not true believers), and they see so many successful big bald heads, shining, so the leaders of the Ichizawa Sect and some people and forces who see Ieyasu's displeasure are entangled together and ready to let Ieyasu drink a pot.

Half a year is not long or short, at least I believe that Ieyasu did not calm down in his dreams. Wars of Religion always have many speculators, careerists, ignorant believers, and of course there are also truly pure believers, who are not very lucky, and some of Ieyasu's retainers are followers of the Ichiyasu sect, and they are very pure...... For example, Honda Masanobu (one of the sixteen Tokugawa generals) and Natsume Yoshinobu (later died in the Battle of Mikatahara to cover Ieyasu's retreat). As for the process of pacification or something, because of the short time, there is nothing to talk about (reflecting the difference between wanting success and actually succeeding from the side), of course, Japanese historians are boasting about this, saying that Ieyasu had insight into human nature and used clever strategies...... Wait, forgive people for small local ...... There's really nothing to brag about......

In fact, in my eyes, Ieyasu's pacification of the Sect is mainly in two aspects, hard power: money and army. Soft power: talent, leader IQ. First of all, don't talk to me about the rebellion that swept the entire Nishimikawa, damn it again, no matter how awesome it is, is there a Matsudaira family in this place? Is there more gold in my Matsudaira family's treasury, and is there more than my Mikawa Ashigaru samurai? No nonsense. Then you play a fart, coupled with the lack of soft power, the leadership level is limited, it is obvious that these big bald heads are not as good as Taiyuan Xuezhai, and Honganji x is like these bald heads...... Want to succeed? Difficult!

Ieyasu's opponent is such a group of rubbing, don't win? That's not Tokugawa Ieyasu, you replace Ieyasu's enemy at this time with Takeda, change it to Hojo and try it, and teach you how to be a man in minutes.

Well, back to the topic, Baba Nobubo brought an olive branch from the Takeda family.

Although I said earlier that this is sharing the cake, but if the strength of the Tokugawa family and the Takeda family is compared at this time, Ieyasu may have to wait for Takeda Shingen to eat the cake and then lick the plate, which is obviously unwilling of Ieyasu, in exchange for you, are you willing to lick the plate? Therefore, Ieyasu put forward such a condition: the west of the Oi River was returned to the Tokugawa, and the east of the Oi River was given to Takeda. It stands to reason that the Takeda family has an absolute advantage and should not agree to such conditions. However, Takeda agreed, and Takeda Shingen was not a fool like Imagawa, so he agreed for a reason.

Here I will mention a little Takeda Shingen (who will also be specially pulled out in the future), known as the Tiger of Kai (Kai is his territory). I think if a person is crowned with a dragon or a tiger, it is very awesome to a certain extent. It is said to have the first cavalry of the Warring States "Takeda Akaken". Obviously, this is a person with a high level, at least at the same level as Imagawa Yoshimoto and Taiyuan Xuezhai, and this kind of person will be cheap and not take advantage? The answer is definitely not. Personally, I think the reason why Takeda agreed to this condition is because it does not exist in the eyes of the tiger.

What, that kid named Tokugawa Ieyasu divides so much Imagawa's territory? Are you kidding me? So from the beginning to the end, Takeda regarded Enoe as his domain...... It was only temporarily deposited with Tokugawa...... Later it turned out that Takeda had this idea, and immediately after the capture of Suruga, he showed his tiger teeth to Ieyasu.

Countless historical events tell us that this kind of alliance, whose main purpose is to divide the spoils, will not last long......

One might ask, doesn't it know what Takeda thinks? Of course I know, how could someone as smart as Ieyasu not know. But does he have a choice, seek skin with the tiger, seek skin with the tiger, if you don't seek skin with the tiger, the tiger may have to seek you with the skin. So Ieyasu didn't have a choice, and it was much better to seek skin than to be skinned......

In this way, Ieyasu completed his own strategy. By the way, I don't really like to write about wars, because I think it's inevitable to start a war, and the outcome of a war can be very accidental, like the battle of Tsukasama, who would have thought that Imagawa Yoshimoto would lose? Tell you that Oda Nobunaga didn't expect it...... So I'm going to go through all this about war. It is said that the city lord of our Yuanjiang Horse City is the rice tail Lianlong who runs wild with grass and mud horses in his heart, and it is said that this person is also a disciple of Taiyuan Xuezhai (not a personal inheritance), but I always feel that this guy must be sleeping in class, and the level is far less than Taiyuan Xuezhai, and in the end the city was lost, and he was forced to death by the Imagawa clan...... (Imagawa's true subtext: Tell you that the woman I've been with is not so casual to sleep) I suddenly felt that this person was so tragic, he didn't study hard when he was young, and he also took the burden for the bad and precocious behavior of the young master, and lost to his fellow disciples, and was forced to death by his own master...... Damn, it's really miserable......

However, the miserable person is dead, and the person who made him so miserable is still alive, rest assured, the fate of the rich second generation like Xiang Imagawa is often miserable. Why, because God, is it still necessary for this kind of fool to be active on the stage of history? Could it be that God would allow such a fool to continue to be an obstacle to Ieyasu's progress? Obviously not, it's time to make it more difficult. Ieyasu's next opponent, Takeda!

In 1569, the Imagawa clan opened Kakegawa Castle and surrendered to Takeda, ending the history of the Imagawa family as a Sengoku daimyo...... The Imagawa clan really became a ronin, but his tragedy had just begun.

Takeda Shingen, a man known as the Kai Tiger, is now in the way of Ieyasu, "Defeat him, and you can move forward." "So says the god of history, and it turns out to be a very difficult subject...... But according to our experience when we were children, whenever the teacher gave you a difficult question, if it was not difficult for you, it valued you very much. It is clear that history has chosen Ieyasu. It's a bit of a Q spirit.,But there's no way.,This game isn't played.,Except for the spiritual motivation, Ieyasu doesn't seem to be able to do anything else...... (Hard power is too bad, and soft power can no longer make up for it)

In this way, Ieyasu began his journey against the Takeda family.

There are some paths, once you start, you can't turn back, even if there is a Kai Tiger in front of me, I will defeat him.

Because, Mikawa Soul!
