March of the sixth year of Tensho

Kai Awa Awaki Akikan

In front of Honmaru's palace, an eight-fold cherry tree fell in the garden

Under the colorful and open Yae cherry blossoms, Nobuyoshi Takeda and Nobuyoshi Takeda looked at the scenery of the cherry blossoms and trees

Takeda Nobuyoru raised his head and said slowly: This Yae cherry tree was originally planted by my brother, and in a blink of an eye, it has become a prosperous tree

Takeda Nobuyoshi said with a hint of remembrance

Takeda Nobuhiro shook his monk's robe, walked under the tree, raised his head, and saw the cherry blossoms hanging on his head

Takeda Nobuhiro said indifferently: The predecessors planted the cherry blossoms and the descendants rewarded them, just like the foundation established by the elder brother at the beginning, the two of us must not live up to the trust of the elder brother

Nobuyoru Takeda nodded heavily

At this time, Takeda Nobuyoshi said in a deep voice: Yesterday, His Royal Highness Tokugawa had agreed to my conditions, turned his back on the Oda family, and belonged to the family

What Takeda Nobuyoru showed a look of shock on his face, and said that his elder brother Ieyasu Gong had agreed to surrender to his family

Takeda Nobuyhiro nodded and said indifferently: Not bad

Takeda Nobuyoru pondered and repeated, as if he couldn't believe it, and said: Isn't my brother always saying that His Royal Highness Tokugawa is resolute and resistant to war, and he can't easily lie dormant Why did he change today and decided to surrender to his own family

Takeda Nobuhiro said with a smile: It is not surprising that the time is also subordinate to the betrayal, and the division and merger are the troubled times, and His Royal Highness Daodaochuan was attacked in Yoshida Castle, and it is not strange that the Fushimoto family fell

Speaking of which, Takeda Nobuhiro took a step forward, pulled out the sword at his waist, and removed a cherry petal from the cherry tree

Takeda Nobuyoshi said to Takeda Shinshi; When the cherry blossoms withered, it was the end of the years, and Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that after Nobunaga's death, the Oda family had taken a strategic direction to move westward, and in fact abandoned the Tokugawa family, just like the cherry blossoms withering trees, he was unable to fight his own family independently, so he chose to surrender

Takeda Nobuyoru nodded, he understood that in fact, since the Maori family moved eastward, Arakimura Shigenagagasho Beji has rebelled against Oda Nobutada, and the troops are insufficient, and the Tokaido Takigawa Ichiyi is drawn out to quell the rebellion, and the Tokugawa family is therefore isolated and helpless, and the Takeda army is forced to attack, and it has long been a grudge against the Oda family

From the Mikatahara to the Nagashino battle, the Takeda family captured Yoshida Castle

Tokugawa Ieyasu was hit hard by the Takeda family three times, and whether he could hold on to it to this day can be regarded as a matter of benevolence to the Oda family

What's more, this time Yoshida Castle was captured, and after seeing the combat strength of the Takeda army under the leadership of Nobu Shigeru, Tokugawa Ieyasu also understood that he could not fight again

What's more, the territory was cut in two by the Takeda family, Okazaki Castle and Hamamatsu Castle could not echo, and the sea was controlled by the Takeda navy

Tokugawa Ieyasu was in a difficult situation both internally and externally, and no matter how stubborn he resisted under such circumstances, he could only be destroyed

After all, the courage of Mikawa's soul, under the general trend, Tokugawa Ieyasu also has to understand his current situation and the way to advance and retreat

The Tokugawa army's strong resilience in the previous battle of the tripartite Hara-Nagashino was also unanimously admired by the Takeda family, so it was possible to subdue such a formidable opponent

Nobuhiro Takeda and Nobuyoshi Takeda also breathed a sigh of relief

Takeda Nobuyoru asked Takeda Nobuyoshi: Then this time Tokugawa Ieyasu offered his harsh conditions in order to subdue your brother, you have agreed

Takeda Nobuyhiro withdrew the knife from its scabbard and nodded slightly

Takeda Nobuyoru said in a deep voice: But this condition has not yet been evaluated by the retainers, whether it is too good to be too good at it through the approval of the elder brother

Takeda Nobuyhiro raised his eyebrows and said: I don't care about so much, at this time, one more ally and one less opponent is more important than anything else

In fact, it was only with the support of Li Xiaobaba's letter that he agreed to such harsh conditions with the Tokugawa family

After hearing this, Takeda Nobuyoshi sighed and said: But the conditions are too harsh, Ieyasu Gongzhen's fuel-efficient lamps, Yoshida Castle, Noda Castle, Shinojo Castle, Futsumata Castle, and Tenjin Mountain Castle were all captured by the army of the family after several years of bloody battles, and the blood of thousands of soldiers was captured, and Tokugawa Ieyasu took it in a word......

Takeda Nobuhiro sneered and said: Not only is Yoshida Castle and the land of Sanhe is half of the land occupied by the Takeda family, and all the territory occupied by the Takeda family must be returned to the Tokugawa family...,

Takeda Nobuyoshi changed color when he heard this, and said: Brother Tokugawa Ieyasu is too much, and the price is too much, and it is impossible for the ministers to pass

Takeda Nobuyhiro nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's why I don't need to inform the retainers, I and Lord Baba made their own decisions, and I am sure that they will understand in the future."

Takeda Nobuyoru fell into deep thought and said: Why did the elder brother's family pay such a big price The Tokugawa family showed sincerity

Takeda Nobuyoshi looked at Takeda Nobuyoshi and said: Ieyasu has ordered his sister-in-law Nobuyasu to take a leave of absence from the princess of the Oda family and send her back to Owari, and wants his son to marry Matsuhime as the main room, and I have agreed on behalf of the head of the museum

Takeda Nobuyhiro couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of this

He originally wanted Tokugawa Ieyasu to kill Nobunaga's daughter Tokuhime in order to completely sever ties with the Oda family

However, Tokugawa Ieyasu replied with great strength: What does the affairs of the warriors have to do with women and children

refused to kill Tokuhime, but instead sent Tokuji back to the Oda family, but fortunately, Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Tokuhime had a discordant marriage, and the two had no children, which was different from Takeda Shingen's daughter Huangmeiin who married into the Hojo family

And Matsuhime was originally Shingen Xu and Oda Nobutada, but the marriage contract broke down

One divorces his wife and remarries another, and the other remarries

The relationship between the Takeda family and the Tokugawa family was thus decided

And all this is already going on in secret, and it won't take long for the world to know

Oda Nobutada's sister was bound to be furious when she was Hugh, and the Tokugawa family was between Takeda and Oda

To use an ugly analogy, like a fighting dog, you either bite Takeda with Oda or bite Oda with Takeda, and there is no other way to live here

And Takeda has one less strong opponent and more strong alliance

The strategic situation has improved considerably

Just as Takeda Nobufan and Takeda Nobuyoru were talking, a Takeda Nobukatsu on the side reported to the two of them: The two envoys of the Hojo family have arrived, and the hall master invites the two to enter

After hearing this, Takeda Nobuhiro and Takeda Nobuyoshi nodded, handed over the sword to the side, and then strode from the corridor into the palace

In the palace, twelve-year-old Nobukatsu Takeda sat on top of the stacked mats, and a samurai dressed in hunting clothes sat on the stacked mats

Takeda Nobuhiro didn't recognize the other party, and when he arrived, Takeda Nobuyoshi knew that the other party was the Hojo family's important minister, Daido Temple, and Masashigeru was the captain-level general of the Hojo family's river and the Yue Legion

In the past, Daido Temple Masahiro had also sent an envoy to the Takeda family, so Takeda Nobuyoshi recognized it

After seeing Takeda Nobuhiro and Takeda Nobuyoshi, Dadaoji Masahiro immediately said straight to the point: Echigo's Uesugi family is in turmoil, and the order of Kashikatsu Jingsheng Jiao Qian Xingong intends to kill the former ruler and seize the position of the governor of the Uesugi family and the governor of Kanto

The Kanto Governor is an important duty of the samurai, and he must not fall into the hands of such ambitious people, so the lord has decided to send the army of Musashi Ueno to attack the Uesugi family from Ueno, and at the same time hopes that Takeda, as an ally of his family, can also send troops to help, and also hopes that the two highnesses of Doctor Daizen can send troops to help

In the midst of the complicated words of the Great Dao Temple, everyone on the Great Dao of Benevolence and Righteousness was not interested in listening to it

Everyone knows that the Hojo family sent troops to Echigo to help Uesugi Keitora seize the position of governor of the Uesugi family, so as to make the Uesugi family a puppet of the Hojo family

Therefore, the Hojo clan stepped forward to use the relationship between the two allies of Takeda and Hojo to let the Takeda family send troops to help Hojo crusade against Kamisho Keikatsu

There is no mention of the promise of retribution after the fact

Dadaoji Masashi also knows that the real person in charge of the Takeda family at the moment is Takeda Nobuhiro and Takeda Nobuyo

Therefore, Dadaoji Masahiro will pay more attention to the two of Takeda Nobufan and Takeda Nobuyo

After hearing this, Takeda Shinfan smiled and said: Since the alliance of Zentokuji Temple, the family and the Hojo family have been allies for decades, and the matter of the Hojo family is the matter of my Takeda family, since it is invited by His Royal Highness Zuojing, the family will definitely go all out

Speaking of which, Takeda Nobuyoshi said at the moment: Tomorrow, I will order Inuko Nobutoshi as the commander-in-chief, and the 20,000 soldiers of Shinano Kai will drive directly to Echigo, and at the same time, the Hida Echichu Legion and the Ueno Legion will also dispatch three ways to rescue His Royal Highness Jinghu, please rest assured...,

Dadao Temple Masahiro didn't expect Takeda Nobuyoshi to answer so happily and said happily at the moment: Thank you for the kindness of the Takeda family

After receiving Takeda Nobushi's affirmative consent, Daido Temple Masahiro left with a complacent farewell

Seeing that after the Daido Temple Masahiro left, Takeda Nobukatsu saw that Takeda Nobushigeru agreed to the feelings of the Hojo family, and said uneasily: Hojo has annexed Anbo, and the general manager has defeated Satake, Utsunomiya, and Yuuki has shown the momentum of unifying the Kanto, if the Uesugi family is subordinate again, then once Hojo and the family turn against the family in the future, the family will not be able to fight against Hojo

Seeing this, Takeda Nobuhiro nodded with satisfaction as a family governor who could see this, and as a family governor, he must consider the strategic situation of his family at any time

Takeda Shinkatsu has the style of Takeda Shingen on this point

Takeda Nobuyoshi was about to speak, when a report from outside the door recently reported: The owner of the museum, the envoy of the Uesugi family, Saito Asanobu, asked to see him

Hearing Saito Asanobu's name, Takeda Nobu couldn't help but smile on his face

Takeda Nobukatsu nodded and said: Please let him in

After Saito Asanobu entered the palace, he immediately fell into limbo, and said directly: The Uesugi family has reached a critical point of survival, and the two lords are fighting, if His Royal Highness Jinghu wins, the Uesugi family will become the puppet of the Hojo family

And if His Royal Highness Jingsheng wins, then the family is willing to promise to be in harmony with the Takeda family, never to fight the army, and offer 10,000 to cede all the land of Ueno Shinano to Takeda as a reward (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation)
