It has been a full ten days since Saito Yoshiryu issued the order to conquer the Kiso Valley.

As soon as the news of Saito's imminent march into the Kiso Valley reached the Tsukikan, Takeda Nobuyhiro immediately rushed to Takato Castle and began to recruit peasant soldiers.

After three days of preparation, he finally set off with his army from Gaoyuan City.

Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, the Takeda family has summoned farmers to fight, and people can't help but worry that it will affect this season's harvest. However, the Kiso Valley is an important place for the Takeda family, and it will never be allowed to be taken away by the Saito army.

"Speed up the march!"

With Takeda Nobuyoshige's orders, he galloped back and forth in the ranks.

I forgot to mention that although the leader was Shinfan, the banner was "Takeda Shingen personally commanded the troops".

Well...... The three brothers Takeda Shingen, Takeda Shinhiro and Takeda Shinren all look similar, and if they take a set of armor, how many of them can tell the difference between their brothers?

But there are still differences, Takeda Nobuyoshi has an elegant temperament, while Takeda Nobuyo is tall, but their eldest brother Shingen is the shortest.

Xin Fan rode on a horse, shaking an iron military fan to fan the wind, but the anxiety in his heart could not be extinguished no matter how much he fanned it.

Although the ninja's report said that the Toyama family of Naegi City had not yet come out of the battle, there was still a worry in his heart.

Three days later, the Takeda Army finally preemptively entered the Kiso Valley.

"Report! The Kiso family is in a cage city! ”

"Hmm...... Speed up the march and set up camp ten miles outside Kiso-Fukushima Castle! ”

The Takeda army hurried and finally approached Kiso-Fukushima Castle before sunset, and Takeda Nobuyori ordered to be on strict alert, rest well, and prepare to attack the castle tomorrow.

In the evening of that day, Fukayuki and Naoto Ii arrived at the castle town of Kiso-Fukushima Castle and stayed in a dormitory.

"It's dark, will it make me forget who you are......

"The darker the night is, the dream is violated, it is difficult to chase and reminisce~~"

On the mountain road west of the Kiso Valley, Sasa Narumasa sings softly.

After more than ten years, I didn't expect that I could still remember this song, and it was very appropriate to sing it, and now it is dark.

It's dark, Guidie is alone in Jade Butterfly City, will it be very lonely?

Thinking of this, Cheng Zheng sighed.

He drew a large pie to Yoshiryu Saito.

A big cake that goes up to Luo and rules the world.

The pie is so big that Seimasa has no doubt that Yoshiryu Saito will accept it. Facts have proved that Narumasa's guess was right, Saito Yoshiryu not only accepted this big pie, but also asked for the biggest one, which is the so-called best policy "You Kansai, I Kanto, you and I, share the world".

In this way, Chengzheng and Yilong experienced a honeymoon period of just two months.

In the past two months, Chengzheng helped Yilong issue a series of actions such as "seeking talents" (plagiarizing Boss Cao), obtaining 40,000 stones from Tuqi County and building Jade Butterfly City, marrying Guidie, and destroying the wise family.

As Yoshiryu's investigation of Naimasa's life history deepened, it was also time for Sasa Narumasa to implement the next plan - to leave Mino and go to Kanto.

As the identity of Toki Yoriyi's son-in-law, although this secret is hidden deeply, it can't be hidden for long, and Seimasa needs to leave Mino before Yoshiryu finds out about it.

The timing of Naimasa's departure from Mino was the Kiso Valley Expedition.

"Aren't we going to Hida to help the Miki family, why did we turn to Kiso Valley instead?"

Murai Naoto said bluntly that he was the first to express his doubts.

"These hillbillies in Hida, fighting for each other is just this poor ravine, we must first capture the Kiso Valley, and then use the Kiso Valley as a condition to conclude an alliance with the Takeda family."

That's how Naruma replied to Murai Nagayori, in fact, although he didn't lie, he didn't tell the whole story.

The plan to march into Hida and attack the Kiso Valley to hold the Takeda family and the Saito family hostage is a plan that is interlocking and cleverly calculated.

However, this is not the whole of the political plan, and there is one missing link in this "interlocking", which is the last link.

In other words, Narumasa set off from the Kiso Valley to the last ring of the Kanto region.

Not long after, Sasa's army arrived outside the castle town of Kiso-Fukushima Castle.

"Think of a way to get into the city."

Cheng Zheng gave orders to his retainers, and then he got off his horse and lay down on the grass to rest.

There are two other people lying on the ground resting like Chengzheng, one is the Ji samurai of the Sasa family, the side room of Sasa Chengmasa, and the other is a handsome little surname who is not more than 9 years old.

Mori Kecheng, Naomasa Tsukasa, and Murai Nagalai don't understand why Chengzheng wants to take a 9-year-old child to the battlefield?

And is it this kind of big rush deep into enemy territory?

None of them could understand it, but the Hime-samurai Aharu seemed to understand a little, because she knew that this handsome little surname, who was only 9 years old, was actually Oda Nobunaga's younger sister, Oda City.

Sen Kecheng and the others chatted for half an hour, and finally came up with a set of plans:

"My lord, we agree that we should pretend to be reinforcements from the direction of Hida and deceive the city gates."

"Huh?" Cheng Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"During the day, we intercepted a messenger sent to Hida by the Kiso Valley...... The Kiso family asks for help from the sister's family, so we can pretend to be the military of the sister's family and deceive the city gate. ”

"Do you think the Kiso family is a fool? How can there be reinforcements in the middle of the night! ”

Cheng Zheng didn't think about it, so he scolded Sen Kecheng.

What a ...... What age did you think that "wearing enemy clothes, deceiving the city gates, and then rushing up" would work?

That's whether it's written well in the novel or not.

But he didn't expect Sen Kecheng to just smile, obviously not being hit by Cheng Zheng, he continued to state the plan discussed by the three of them one by one:

"The lord is wise! Although our army is pretending to be the army of Sister Xiaolu's family, it can't directly deceive the city gate, so the result is ...... The lord knows. So, we're going to put on a show! ”

"Acting?"

Cheng Zheng sat up from the grass suddenly, and after listening carefully to Sen Kecheng's statement, he happily patted Sen Kecheng on the shoulder:

"That's it!"

In the darkness of the night, the Sasa army, which was determined to win, immediately took action.
