Takeda Katsuyori and Li Xiao looked at the letter thrown on the ground, as well as Takeda Shinxuan's questioning, and glanced at each other, this matter was also expected by them.

At this time, Li Xiao said: "This letter was written by his subordinates, and every sentence in it is true. ”

Takeda Shingen took a breath, closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "Where is that person, I will interrogate him personally." ”

Li Xiao replied, "He was held in the castle tower and guarded by two samurai at night. ”

Takeda Shingen nodded and said, "In any case, this matter is very important, and I will interrogate him personally." ”

At this moment, it is far away in the city of Guofeng City, Ganle County.

Yoshinobu Takeda was sitting in the castle tower, holding a wine glass, and drinking alone without a pair. His expression looked very decadent, but the moment he raised his glass to drink, his eyes showed a hint of resentment.

A luthier was boredly playing the monosyllabic music that came from the court, and it sounded particularly monotonous in the empty castle tower.

In the past, Takeda Yoshinobu loved to live such a minister-like life, but at this moment, he completely lost interest, and the source of all Takeda Yoshinobu's unhappiness came from Iwaki Castle.

On the other side, two cronies, Masakuni Nagasaka, and Sone Zhou couldn't help but look very worried.

Nagasaka Masakuni was one of the six members of the Takeda Ieoku Kinxi Clan, and Takeda Shingen was born in the Takeda Clan, and was promoted to the rank of Ashigaru Shogun, and now serves Takeda Yoshinobu. Sone was also the son of Sone Uchisho, one of the six members of the Okujin, and he was also the husband of Takeda Yoshinobu's nurse.

Both of these people are loyal to Takeda Yoshinobu, and the relationship between Li Xiao and Takeda Asayaki and Takeda Katsuyori is the same, and the rise and fall of them and the families behind them completely depends on how Takeda Yoshinobu will go in the future.

At the moment, Yoshinobu Takeda looked depressed and unable to cheer up, and both of them were very worried.

Nagasaka Masakuni knelt down a few steps, stepped forward and said: "Please cheer up, Lord Iifu, you are attacking Duohu County, this two can be down, so Ganle County, Duohu County and the two counties can return to my hands." ”

Just as Takeda Yoshinobu was dejected by Takeda Katsuyori's defeat of Uesugi Kenshin at Iwaki Castle, Iitomi Toramasa heard the news, but he took active action and led the Red Reserve Army out of battle, not only subduing Kurakano Castle and Wada Castle, but also repelling the reinforcements sent by the Nagano Army of Minowa Castle, which brought a trace of face for Takeda Yoshinobu.

In this way, the record of Takeda Yoshinobu in Ueno Country can be regarded as an explanation, although the loss of troops, but the attack on the land of the two counties can be regarded as a victory.

But despite this, who knows, this time the West Ueno Raiders, Takeda Yoshinobu was completed by Takeda Katsuyori. If it weren't for Takeda Katsuyori to contain Uesugi Kenshin's main force in Iwaki Castle, Takeda Yoshinobu would be able to sit here easily at the moment, and he would have counterattacked to recapture the two counties.

Takeda Yoshinobu's best fate is only to obediently lead the troops back to Kai, or wait for the reinforcements of his father Takeda Shingen, and he is powerless to do anything.

Takeda Yoshinobu reluctantly raised a smile and said: "Nagasaka, what you said is right, although Katsuyori has the blood of my Takeda family, but now he is a foreign surname, and he can't compete with me, what I need now is to cheer up, so that my father will value my ability." I, Yoshinobu Takeda, am a descendant of Minamoto's Silla Saburo, and I am not so easy to be defeated. ”

Hearing Yoshinobu Takeda say this, Masakuni Nagasaka and Shushu Sone both breathed a sigh of relief, and hope was rekindled in each other's eyes.

At this moment, a samurai in the castle tower reported to Takeda Yoshinobu and said, "Your Royal Highness, this is an urgent letter from Katsushimi-sama Kebe who ordered the ninjas to send it from Iwaki Castle overnight. ”

Yoshinobu Takeda was slightly surprised, then stood up and took the letter, only halfway through it, only to see his hand shake, and the letter paper fell to the ground.

Takeda Yoshinobu's face turned pale for a while, and his face turned red for a while, and his eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire.

When did Nagasaka Masakuni and Sone Zhou defend the two of them see Takeda Yoshinobu like this, they hurriedly picked up the letter and read it.

The two were also taken aback.

"What, Suwa Katsuyori was actually appointed as the commander of the Ueno Front? And Sanada Yutaka, Kohata Kenshige, and Takeda Nobutoyo are all included in his match? "Sone was taken aback by the defense.

Nagasaka Masakuni was still a little calm when he encountered a major event, and he settled down and analyzed: "Lord Mikan, this move will hand over the power of attacking Ueno Country to Katsuyori, so he is already the general of my Takeda family with a heavy army, and his power is not what it used to be, if he wants to seize the throne in the future, how to raise troops to make trouble, since ancient times, there are countless things that have caused Xiao Wall." It's impossible for the Lord of the Palace not to know the consequences of this incident. ”

Takeda Yoshinobu smiled miserably and said, "What do you know, it is already very clear who the Lord of the Imperial Pavilion belongs to in his heart. Mikan-sama has always favored Katsuyori's mother, Yubuki, and my mother is naturally lukewarm, and he loves Katsuyori very much, and if it weren't for my righteous name, he would have abolished me earlier. ”

Nagasaka Masakuni hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the Young Lord, don't be discouraged, not to mention whether the lord has this plan, the heir of my Takeda family is not abolished by the lord alone, you must know that most of the retainers of my Takeda family, as well as the retainers of the spectrum, are on the side of His Royal Highness the Young Lord." ”

Sone Zhou Defense also said: "Yes, this matter is still discussed with Lord Iitomi before deciding, he is resourceful, and he will definitely be able to see the clue from it." Your Royal Highness, Young Lord, please hold on, at least Lord Iitomi, Lord Kibe, Lord Nagasaka, and His Majesty are all firmly on your side. If the lord wants to depose His Royal Highness, we will be seppuku and die, and we will continue to prevent this from happening. ”

Nagasaka Masakuni echoed: "Yes, as long as the lord does not waver, and my Takeda family retainers are still on our side, Suwa Katsuyori will not have a righteous name, if he wants to do something rebellious, my Takeda family will not have a break with him, and his subordinates will die, and Katsuyori will be dismounted." ”

"Alright, alright," Takeda said, waving his robe, "I know you're all for my good, but now I want to be quiet." ”

Nagasaka Masakuni and Sone Shu's defense looked at each other silently and had to retreat.

Yoshinobu Takeda paced back and forth in the room, muttering in his mouth: "Katsuyori, Katsuyori, since you have come this far, it is either you who die or I die, let's wait and see, and see who can make it to the end." It's a big deal, this Takeda family doesn't want it, and I can't let you get it. ”

Iwaki Castle, castle tower.

A samurai dressed in white, with his cloak spread over Takeda Shingen, trembling uncontrollably.

Takeda Shinxuan's eyes showed a fierce color, and he shouted: "What you just said, is it true? Word for word? ”

The white-clothed warrior said tremblingly: "Your Majesty knows that he deserves death, but he does not dare to deceive his lord, everything is instructed by His Highness Yixin, and his subordinates are just acting on orders." ”

Hearing this, Takeda Shingen closed his eyes and sighed, then reopened his eyes and said indifferently: "For the sake of reading that you are telling the truth, I will not be connected to your family, so I will give you seppuku." ”

"Thank you, Lord."

After saying that, the white-clothed samurai took a handful of ribs from the hands of Takeda Shingen on the side, and committed suicide by caesarean section on the spot.

Seeing that the other party was in pain and couldn't die after seppuku, Takeda Shingen glanced closer to the side.

I saw this man draw his knife and swing it down, and cut off his head on the spot.

Takeda Shingen walked out of the castle tower, and Takeda Katsuyori and Li Xiao both followed behind him.

Takeda Shingen took a long breath and said slowly, "Taro disappointed me so much, he actually communicated with Uesugi Kenshin, and you were almost put to death. ”

In this regard, Takeda Shingen said this, Takeda Katsurai, and Li Xiao were silent, no matter what they said at this time, it was unwise.

Takeda Yoshinobu's internal communication affair was revealed, what is Takeda Shingen's attitude towards Takeda Yoshinobu at the moment? Will Yoshinobu Takeda fall immediately?

At this moment, Li Xiao's heart was like turning over the river and the sea, and at the same time, he was secretly speculating.
