Takeda Katsuyori, Sanada Yutaka saw Li Xiao and directly asked Takeda Shingen about his decision on this matter, and he didn't know what he meant for a while.

But as soon as Li Xiao said this, the comments in the hall calmed down for a while, waiting for the head of the family to make a decision on this matter.

However, Takeda Shingen showed a contemplative look, shook the folding fan in his hand on his chest a few times, and did not speak for a long time.

At this time, Takeda Shingen's attitude seemed quite subtle to outsiders, and Takeda Yoshinobu, who supported the alliance with the Imagawa family, Iitomi Torama gradually revealed a uneasy look.

On the contrary, there was a glimmer of hope in Akiyama's eyes.

Even if it were Nobuyo Akiyama, he was not sure that he had any intention of reversing the entire diplomatic trend of the Takeda family in a single meeting.

The Koshogun Alliance, which can be said to be the most important military alliance between the Kanto region and the entire world, if the Takeda family breaks the alliance with the Imagawa family, where will it go from there?

As we all know, the ultimate strategic goal of the Takeda clan was to attack Uesugi Kenshin, which could not only eradicate the trouble, but also a way to march from Hokuriku, but this route was not easy to walk, and it was difficult to walk in winter.

Even if the Takeda family suddenly exploded in character and could defeat the Uesugi family within a few years, and there were also the Honganji family, the Asakura family, and a series of powers in the way in front of them, these would not be easy to defeat.

And the Imagawa family is different, Suruga is rich, Kai's army arrives, in the face of the current broken Imagawa army, the sweep is like a sweep, the strong enemy in front of the Matsudaira family, the Oda family, is not yet a climate for the Takeda family, and the road to Kamiraka on the Tokaido is undoubtedly smoother.

Takeda Shingen closed the folding fan in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Akiyama Shintomo." ”

Seeing that Takeda Shingen had made a decision, all the retainers hurriedly showed a look of attentive listening.

And Akiyama Nobuyo sighed and bowed down.

Takeda Shingen said: "Akiyama Shintomo, I order you to attack the front line of Mikawa Inu Castle in a month. ”

As soon as Takeda Shingen's words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and they couldn't figure out what Takeda Shingen meant.

Akiyama Nobuyo thought for a while, but he didn't know what Takeda Shingen meant by this, and asked, "Dare to ask my lord, how many troops do I need to mobilize?" ”

Faced with Akiyama Nobuyo's question, Takeda Shingen just said lightly, this matter, you decide for yourself.

Although Akiyama Nobuyo still didn't know why, he could only say loudly.

After speaking, Takeda Shingen raised the sleeve robes hanging down on both sides and said, "Very good, everyone has worked hard." ”

This remark represents the end of the evaluation, and all the retainers bow their heads to send Takeda Shingen off.

After saying that, Takeda Shingen stood up and walked to the corridor outside the side door, while Xiao Jian picked up his Taidao and followed him.

After Takeda Shingen left.

All the generals had puzzled expressions on their faces, and they were speculating in distress about their decision to take Takeda Shingen.

At this moment, only Li Xiao took the lead in standing up, turned his head and glanced at Takeda Yoshinobu with a slight meaning, and strode out of the main hall.

"Rude."

Fan Fu Huchang was the first to leave for Li Xiao, and scolded in a low voice, and couldn't help but show a worried look on his face.

Then the retainers discussed with each other in a low voice, and they also retreated in twos and threes.

Among Yoshinobu Takeda's residence.

Yoshinobu Takeda and Iitomi Toramasa, and several of his henchmen and retainers gathered among them.

Ping!

I saw Takeda Yoshinobu shake his sleeve heavily and smashed a tea bowl to the ground, this tea bowl is a famous item from Goryeo and is very valuable.

Now under the wrath of Yoshinobu Takeda, he has become a victim.

Yoshinobu Takeda asked Iitomi Toramasa, 'What does Father mean?' ’

Nagasaka Masakuni said: "Your Highness, why be angry, I think it is obvious that the Mikawa country is now entrenched in the Matsudaira family that betrayed the Imagawa family, and the lord ordered Akiyama Nobuyo to go out to Mikawa, naturally to assist Imagawa to pacify Mikawa and restore the old leader of the Imagawa family." ”

Sone Zhou shook his head and said: "No, the Imagawa family has not yet had the strength to calm down the rebellion of the countrymen of the Yuanjiang Half Country, and there is a Yuanjiang country across the country, how can it be subdued by the Mikawa Theory." ”

"Neither," Iitomi Huchang waved his hand, his tiger eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Mikawa Country has always been the default Imagawa family's sphere of influence, although it has now been occupied by the Matsudaira family, but the family has never interfered in the affairs of this period, but why did the lord order Akiyama Nobuyo to attack Mikawa Inui Castle, if it is captured, is it for the family to occupy it, or to return it to the Imagawa family?" It's hard to guess what this is about. I don't know what you think? ”

Traces of the Ministry of Xinqiu sat on his knees, his eyes slightly narrowed, obviously in contemplation, listening to Fan Fu Huchang asked, Lao Cheng said solemnly: "The actions of the lord, we have always been difficult to judge, and there will be bias in reluctant guesses, I think it is better to wait and see what happens." ”

"No," Yoshinobu Takeda interrupted Nobuaki's words and said, "Lord Kibe, do you think it's a coincidence that Nobuyo Akiyama suddenly proposed to break the alliance between the Honke family and the Imagawa family and form an alliance with the Oda family instead?" ”

"Your Highness, do you think there is someone behind it? Do you mean His Highness Shenglai? Masakuni Nagasaka asked out loud.

Takeda Yoshinobu snorted and said, "Shiro wants to instruct the Ministry of Movement Nobuyaki, with his current strength, he can't do it now." ”

Hearing Takeda Yoshinobu deny this, everyone thought that Takeda was the only person in the family who could instruct Nobuaki Jibe, and when they thought of this answer, they were all terrified at the moment.

Fan Fu Huchang asked out loud: "Your Highness, this is just an unreasonable speculation, and it cannot be confirmed. ”

Takeda Yoshinobu raised his hand, stopped Iifu Huchang's words, and said: "There will be no mistake, do you see it, after the assessment today, Li Xiao walked out of the hall with his toes proud, why is he so proud, obviously his judgment coincides with me at the moment." ”

"Your Highness," Nobubu Xinqiu knelt on the ground and said loudly, "This may be Li Xiao's pretended gesture to divide the plot between His Highness and the lord, and it can't be tricked." ”

Listening to Nobuaki's words, Takeda Yoshinobu smiled sadly and said, "Li Xiao needs to be separated again?" After I was placed under house arrest at Tokoji Temple, I saw through one thing, my father, is a cold-blooded and ruthless person. ”

Yoshinobu Takeda said this.

Everyone present was surprised, when the son pointed out his father, it was a big rebellion, not to mention appearing in the martial arts family with a clear distinction between the upper and lower levels.

After Takeda Yoshinobu finished speaking, the retainers present, including Iitomi Huchang, all bowed down and said, "Your Highness, please be cautious." ”

Takeda Yoshinobu shook his head, showing a sad and self-hurtful look, and said: "I can see through it, Shiro has made immortal military exploits, and he is the only famous general in the family who can compete with Uesugi Kenshin. ”

"Originally, my father could exile my grandfather in order to inherit the family governor, so why can't he come to the strength of the Takeda family, deprive me of my succession, and pass it on to Katsuyori. What is the alliance of the Imagawa family in his eyes, when the Shinano Suwa family and the main family were also allies, and his father also turned his back on Nobuyoshi in order to annex Shinano, attacked the Suwa family, and forced his sister's husband Suwa Yorishige to commit suicide at Tokoji Temple. ”

Hearing Takeda Yoshinobu say this, Iifu Huchang, who has been his servant since he was a child, actually shed tears at this moment, and said: "Your Highness, don't think so, I also have a responsibility to exile the old lord back then, if the lord really has the heart to deprive His Highness of the throne, His Majesty will cut his stomach and die to admonish the lord." ”

As soon as Iitomi Huchang said this, Nobuaki Shibe, Nagasaka Masakuni, and Sone Shushu also spoke: "If the lord really intends to abolish His Royal Highness's throne, His Majesty is also willing to follow Lord Iitomi and die with a seppuku to admonish the lord." ”

"What's the use of seppuku? It's better to figure out how to deal with it. ”

Just as everyone in the room was grieving, a woman suddenly said this from behind a door.

Rice Fu Huchang was shocked, holding the katana at his waist and shouting, "Who is eavesdropping here?" ”

Immediately, the paper sliding door was pushed open, and a woman wearing a gorgeous Wu costume walked out of the way, walked in front of Fan Fu Huchang, and said with an awe-inspiring face: "What's the matter, Lord Fu, do you want to pull out a knife and kill me?" ”

When Fan Fu Huchang saw the comer, he put back the blade that had been drawn out in half, and said, "It turned out to be Madame, it's rude." ”

When Takeda Yoshinobu saw this woman, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What are you doing here as a woman?" Don't you see that we're discussing something important? ”

The woman stood and stared at Yoshinobu Takeda for a moment, then suddenly giggled.

Yoshinobu Takeda said impatiently, "At this time, are you still laughing at something?" ”

The woman picked up the folding fan, half-covered her face and smiled, and then suddenly solemnly used the folding fan to say to Takeda Yoshinobu: "The concubine is laughing at you, a man with no ambition, your father Xin Xuangong I is ambitious and ruthless, how can you give birth to a son who is not angry." ”

Takeda Yoshinobu Huo Ran stood up, and said with a blue face: "You are a woman, what do you know?" ”

The woman's face remained unchanged, and she asked rhetorically, "What does the concubine know?" At present, Takeda Shingen is about to turn his back on the alliance and attack my mother's Imagawa family, if I just ignore and sit idly by, will I watch my Imagawa family and the Takeda family's nearly 30-year alliance be destroyed, and then the concubine's husband will fall under his brother's knife, and finally the concubine can only become a nun and become a nun? ”

"If you are alone, this matter is now related to the fate of my mother Imagawa family, my husband, and me, so it's just that, I didn't want to fight for anything, but now I want to fight for the child in my belly. Husband, your unborn child. Do you want him to die by a sword at birth, or do you want to become the governor of the Takeda family in the future? ”

Under the woman's sharp scolding, Takeda Yoshinobu was speechless for a while.

This woman is, of course, the daughter of Imagawa Yoshimoto, the sister of the Imagawa clan, and also the cousin of Takeda Yoshinobu, who is now married to his Tsuya.

Fan Fu Huchang shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that my wife was pregnant, this is a great joy, but it is difficult to be happy right now." ”

Takeda Yoshinobu was thirteen years old and married Jinya, Jinya and Takeda Yoshinobu have been married for fifteen years, and they have no children before, and they have only now had children.

Listening to Iifu Huchang's words, Jinmi looked indifferent, and she said loudly: "It doesn't matter if you are pregnant or not, the key is how to help your husband get through the current difficulties." As the retainers of your husband's cronies, what is the use of seppuku and death, and in vain you give your surname, according to my woman, it is better to stand up and fight and admonish the lord. ”

"Presumptuous." Fan Fu Huchang shouted, if he hadn't taken into account Jinmi's identity, he would have killed this person on the spot with a knife.

"No," Takeda said, shaking his head, "Tsuya has a point. ”
