After holding a tea party for the temple shrine, Masarashi opened up a large training ground in the western part of Sunpu Castle in the name of the Imagawa clan.

The military law of the Luo family has gradually begun to be implemented within the Imagawa family, and due to the start of Suruga Kanayama, the Imagawa family's annual income has risen by tens of thousands of dollars. Since the finances are loose, it is natural to increase the military training of the Luo family in the local area and recruit new soldiers.

In terms of training, under the guidance of the instructors of the Luo family's military cabinet, the recruited recruits easily learned various coordination and tactics of the riding team. In high-speed galloping, he can easily cut through the head of straw men with a long knife, and some can even cut several straw men left and right in a row and accurately. It's not a problem to pull directly into the battlefield.

For the training of the infantry army, the new recruits and veterans are mixed together to train the formation and fighting skills. The head of the group and the general walked back and forth in the queue with horsewhips in hand, and those who were not satisfied were whipped over. The beaten soldier could not move, but could only stand up straight and wait for his superiors to stop and explain the reason before continuing the training.

In the first month of recruit training, I often heard "New Eight Help, turn in the wrong direction again, whip ten." ”

"Survey ten, look around during the demonstration, whip fifteen."

The third rule of the Roche Art of War: Instead of teaching the soldiers slowly and seductively, it is better to harshly let them use their bodies to remember what is in line with the order.

While Masarashi was inspecting the Imagawa family's recruit training, the Takeda family sent a messenger to sue for peace. The person who came was none other than Sanada Yukitaka, a retainer of the Takeda family.

The meeting place above is naturally the tea room of Sunfu Castle.

After the two sides were polite, Sanada Yutaka took the initiative to say: "I heard that the Imagawa family treasure Chidori incense burner had appeared in the tea party before, and I want to take a look at it." Adult, please make it possible. ”

Warring States period. It is quite normal for guests to ask to appreciate the host's tea utensils. What's more, Sanada Yutaka hopes to take the opportunity to get closer to Masayo. So as to reduce the obstacles to the subsequent negotiations between the two sides.

You know, originally Sanada Yutaka thought that it was the Imagawa family's governor at this time who met him. And at the age of the Imagawa clan at this time, he really won't be his opponent, as long as he negotiates a little, he will naturally be able to improve the relationship with the Imagawa family. But now he was met by Masayo, who suddenly appeared in the Imagawa family as a "military advisor", and he really didn't have much confidence, especially when he learned that Masara in front of him was the general who had personally repelled the previous governor of the Takeda family, and his heart was even more uneasy.

For Sanada Yutaka's small abacus. Masarashi also learned about it instantly, but he did not refuse Sanada Yutaka's request. So, on his orders, it wasn't long before delicate refreshments and a thousand dodori incense burners arrived.

Sanada Yutaka picked up the incense burner and couldn't put it down. "Of all the naming vessels I've seen, it's only under the stumbling of locusts."

The locust is also a famous tea vessel in the world. The person is still above the houndi incense burner. Sanada Yutaka is not stingy, he said the appearance of the locust stumbling, and shared his appreciation feelings with Masayo. In the Warring States Period, only the relationship of 'tea lovers' would talk about the feeling of famous objects.

Finish sipping the tea. Host and guest are happy, very quickly. It's not too early. Sanada Yutaka put down the last sip of tea, looked at Masara, and said the mission of the burden: to ask the Imagawa family to reconcile with the Takeda family.

"If the lord agrees to reconcile, the Takeda family is willing to offer the Imagawa family 5,000 kan of money and 100 war horses."

"No, no, if the Takeda family wants to reconcile with the family, they must first completely withdraw from the area of Mikawa Province and Enjiang Province, and hand over all the people and territories of the Kan family and the Amano family to the family, in addition, they must compensate the family with 3,000 taels of gold, 200 war horses, send their son-in-law as a hostage, personally write a pledge that they will not fight, and sign it. If you don't agree, it's the Takeda family's business. At this time, Masato already knew that the Takeda family was dead, and the Takeda family was in internal tension, so naturally he wanted the lion to open his mouth, so he immediately asked.

"Ahh Sanada Yutaka was choked by the condition, and it was easy to swallow his saliva: "My lord, such a condition is equivalent to making the Takeda family surrender." The Takeda family is categorically unacceptable, so please be sure to change the conditions. ”

"If the adult is worried that the remuneration is too low, he will do his best to deal with the adult." Sanada Yutaka said.

"That's why I'm sitting here to talk to Sanada-sama, instead of leading troops into Takeda's house." Masarashi didn't blink his eyes: "I'm the winner." ”

In the face of Masayo's request, Sanada Yutaka had no choice but to send Masayo's conditions back to the Takeda family to see what kind of reaction the Takeda family would make. As for Sanada Yutaka's request to consult the Takeda family's opinion, Masashi naturally did not embarrass it, anyway, during this period of time, he is also laying out for the next step, and there is time, and after the truce with the Takeda family, it also provides a certain guarantee for the next move of the Imagawa family.

A few days later, Sanada Yutaka again sought good advice.

"The previous conditions were unacceptable to the family." As soon as he saw Masaara, Sanada Yutaka said without humility.

Masarashi didn't think that the Takeda family would agree to the conditions at the beginning, but just tested the reaction of the Takeda family, so he simply said: "Please tell the Takeda family the conditions." ”

"Five hundred taels of gold."

"It's too low!" Masarashi shook his head, and then said directly, "Sanada-sama, the conditions of the Takeda family are too different, and I can't agree to it." Since the Takeda family is not sincere. Drop-off. "After saying that, I will leave when I start fighting.

"Slow down, sir." Sanada Yutaka didn't expect Masarashi to be so straightforward, so he hurriedly said, "The Takeda family is willing to give one thousand taels of gold and one hundred horses." He was also willing to withdraw from Mikawa Province and Enoe Province, but asked the Imagawa family to stop fighting with the main family, and also asked the Imagawa family to immediately open the Fujigawa Mountain Road, and allowed merchants to carry salt and rice into the Takeda family. ”

"It's a bit of an improvement, but it's still not enough." The price of the Takeda family still did not reach the bottom line, and Masashi still shook his head: "One thousand five hundred taels of gold, one hundred war horses, and hostages must also be sent as a guarantee for the reconciliation of the two families." A guarantee is not necessary. In addition, the Takeda family must hand over the domain of the Yamakata sect to the main family. "Actually, Masahiro has already compromised, that is, this time, as long as the Shanfang people are in the territory of the mountains and forests of the Three Rivers Country and the Yuanjiang Country, the Shanfang people have not asked for it anymore.

As for the matter of the Yamakata family, since the Imagawa family did not take the initiative to ask for personnel and thus embarrassed the Takeda family too much (if they took the initiative to hand over the people, no wealthy family would be willing to join the Takeda family in the future), Sanada Yutaka had no opinion, and it was a tacit acquiescence.

However, Sanada Yutaka felt that the request for hostages was still a bit harsh, so he immediately countered: "If you want to guarantee reconciliation, the Imagawa family should also send hostages." It was only the Takeda family who unilaterally sent hostages, and reconciliation was not guaranteed. And the territory of the mountain people can be given to you. ”

"That's a good point, but it doesn't make sense." Masarashi smiled and sarcastically said: "There is a basis point in the negotiation, Lord Kotaka should not forget jì." After a pause, he said word by word: "It's the Takeda family who is begging the Imagawa family, don't make a mistake." ”

Sanada Yutaka was speechless, and finally said that he would return to Takeda's house and ask the lord to reply again.

Masara agreed to wait a few more days. The negotiations could not be delayed, and Sanada Yutaka hurried back to Takeda's house.

A few days later, Sanada Yutaka didn't have time to rest, and ran back to Sunfu Castle to see Masayo.

"My family is willing to provide 1,500 taels of gold, 100 war horses, and the territory of the Mountain Fang Sect can also be handed over to you. However, the hostages asked the adults to make another request. ”

"Your family governor is really tough." Masarashi looked at the exhausted Sanada Yutaka, and suddenly thought of his third son, "Send your third child, and I will promise to reconcile." "Sanada Yutaka's third son is also Sanada Masayuki in history, according to age, Sanada Masayuki at this time is only fourteen or five years old, after being recruited to his side, he can still be cultivated.

Sanada Yutaka was taken aback by Masaliang's sudden request, he was silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Ha! Please wait for your lordship, and the third son will be delivered in the near future. ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then my family will agree to your truce request, and the passage of salt can also be temporarily opened." Masato immediately agreed.

(Thanks to "Shenluan" for their 200 pips support.) (To be continued......)
