Listening to the departing footsteps of the Baba Nobubo Shobu, Takeda Shingen turned his gaze to his younger brother Nobushigeru and the military advisor Yamamoto Kansuke, who sat in the main seat and gently patted the folding fan in his palm.

"In the end, I still formed an alliance with the Saito family in advance."

Takeda Shingen sighed, and there was a bit of helplessness in his words.

He is not helpless, because for more than ten years since his debut, he has always been yin in him, but this time, he was yin by two hairy boys!

Those two boys, one is named Saito Yoshiryu, and the other is Sasa Narimasa.

Yoshiryu Saito and Nari Sasa put on a good show, taking the opportunity of the march to Hida to surprise the Kiso Valley, and thwarted the attack of the Takeda family, bringing the battle of Kiso-Fukushima Castle to a stalemate.

Unable to attack and retreat, Takeda Nobuyoshi sent more than a dozen letters back and forth under Kiso-Fukushima Castle and Takeda Shingen in the hesitant Kiki Pavilion, and also killed more than a dozen horses.

Because, at the same time as Sasa Naimasa's surprise attack on Kiso-Fukushima Castle, Saito Yoshiryu sent an envoy to the Hesitation Kikan to convey his desire to be good neighbors and form a marriage alliance with the Takeda family.

Once negotiations began, the battle around Kiso-Fukushima Castle was put on hold.

Subsequently, Saito Yoshiryu offered his sister-in-law Ryuko to marry Takeda Shingen's daughter Wanli on the condition of ceding Kiso Valley, and the two formed a marriage alliance.

The Kiso Valley was an important part of the Takeda family's Shinano strategy, and even for the safety of the west side of Minami Shinano, the Takeda family had to accept this condition.

In this way, in just one month, the Saito family formed an alliance with the Takeda family.

At the end of October, before the heavy winter snow arrived, Nobuyo Akiyama escorted Takeda Mani into the territory of Mino.

It's really lightning speed, the Takeda family got a powerful ally out of thin air, and they also took the important land of Kiso Valley for nothing, speaking of which, this kind of luck makes many people envious.

To be envied is to be envied, and Xinxuan himself is like a person drinking water, knowing his own warmth and coldness...... Abu is self-aware of suffering.

Aggrieved! It's so embarrassing!

Even if the Takeda family really needs the land of the Kiso Valley, even if he is thinking about harmony with the Saito family.

But...... It's really heartbreaking to get things to the end and end up in this way.

It's as if you're being held hostage everywhere...... Forced to make choices that seem to be beneficial to them.

When the Sasa family in Kiso-Fukushima Castle withdrew, they not only took all the money and food from the castle, but also lit a fire and burned the castle.

Nobuyoshi Takeda, who was leading the army on the front line, wanted to command the army to annihilate the Sasa army, but he could only let them go.

"Elder brother...... The defeat in the Kiso Valley this time was the fault of the foolish brother. ”

Takeda Nobuyoshi lowered his haughty head and admitted his mistake to Shingen.

“…… It's no wonder that you're a chess player in the Saito family. Kansuke...... Have you found out what happened to Ikari Mototo? ”

"Hay!"

Kansuke Yamamoto nodded, but he didn't dare to look at his lord directly.

Because...... It's so TM that the egg hurts!

"After these days in Echigo's investigation...... It has been determined that Ikari Mototo is Sasa Narumasa. ”

Then he added:

"This Sasa Narimasa is Saito Yoshiryu's brother-in-law, who was sealed in Mino Toki County...... Now that he has arrived in Echigo, he has been activated by Nagao Jinghu, and the territory is ...... Three thousand stones. ”

There was no joy or anger on Takeda Shingen's face, and he twisted the beard on his chin to think carefully, but he couldn't think of a reason.

"It doesn't make sense...... His position in Mino is very stable, why did he run to Echigo and become a retainer for Nagao Keito? ”

Shin Xuan directly expressed his doubts.

"Are you sure there are no errors in the results of the investigation?"

Hearing that his boss doubted the reliability of his information, Kansuke Yamamoto solemnly bowed his head and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty can guarantee ...... The information is error-free. ”

In fact, Takeda Shingen did not doubt the reliability of the results of Yamamoto Kansuke's labor, but only because...... Sasa Naruma is too weird.

It's hard to believe.

"Forget it...... If you don't understand, you don't understand, but this guy is very interesting, and he even asked me to prepare my army......"

Shingen sneered, and he was a little angry when he remembered what Sasa Narumasa had said to Mochizuki Chiyo to pass it back.

A hairy boy under the age of 20 was ashamed to teach him a lesson to Takeda Daizen Doctor Harunobu?

It's really unbelievable!

"Elder brother...... foolishly thinks that Zuo Zuo Chengzheng cannot be taken lightly. ”

But Xin Fan spoke again, his expression was still as solemn as just now, but in the solemnity, it was more dignified.

"Sasa Narumasa has proven his martial prowess to the world by winning Imagawa Yoshimoto in the Battle of Tsukasama a few months ago; The surprise attack on the Kiso Valley also confirmed his military strategy. He went to Echigo to assist Nagao Keitor, most likely to use the power of the Nagao family to contain our actions and cover the actions of the Saito family.

"Even though we have formed an alliance with the Saito family, there are not a few chestnuts who have broken their marriage alliance in troubled times, and if Nagao Keitori leads an army south from Kita-Shinano, and the Hida Miki family leads an army to invade the Kiso Valley, and Saito Yoshiryu himself leads an army into the Nakasendo and invades Minami Shinano...... Then the Takeda family is in danger! ”

The more Xin Fan talked, the more nervous he became, and by the end he was already sweating profusely. He thought of the worst-case scenario before he thought about victory.

“…… Well. ”

Shin Xuan said "um", noncommittal, but slowly closed his eyes, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

"In that case...... It's just that the letter is too much. ”

Kansuke Yamamoto grinned at the corners of his mouth.

"The Saito family offered to marry us, and I don't think they would suddenly break the alliance and attack Minami Shinano...... It's just that we may have underestimated Sasa Naruma before, and the following minister's speculation that Sasa Narumasa means that it is likely that he will not rely on the power of Saito's side, but directly rely on the Nagao family to defeat us! ”

These words made Takeda Nobuyhiro stunned for a moment.

"That's right! According to the investigation over the past few days, it has been found that Sasa Narumasa's style is very similar to Levi's, if he can indeed have endless whimsy like Levi...... With the power of the long-tailed Jinghu, it may not be impossible to capture Kita-Shinano! ”

Before he could finish speaking, Shingen Takeda opened his eyes suddenly.

"With Levi...... Like, isn't it? ”

"Yes! …… But compared to Levi, Sasa Narumasa's martial arts are strong, and it is said that on the night of the surprise attack on Kiso Fukushima Castle, he once killed the castle tower of Kiso Fukushima Castle alone, killing dozens of people, and completely destroying the Kiso family! ”

“…… In that case, I don't know if I don't give it a try. Help! ”

"Hay!"

"Send a message to Echigo and ask him to raise troops immediately!"

"Hay!"

"Mobilize the wealthy families of Kai and Kita-Shinano, and go out to Kawanakajima in three days!"

"But the snow has already fallen......"

"It's okay, heavy snow will slow down our army's movements, but isn't that the case with Echigo?"

Despite their surprise, Kansuke Yamamoto and Nobuyhiro Takeda obeyed Shingen's orders, as they also knew that heavy snow would greatly affect Echigo's mobilization power.

Three days later...... Echigo Hojo Castle raised the anti-flag.
