In July of the fifth year of Eiroku (1562), when Saito Michizo flattened the rebellion of his grandson Saito Ryuxing, and then began to eliminate the unstable factors of various potential minds in Mino, in Shinano Takato Castle, among them, Takeda Shingen, the tiger of Kai, was also entangled at this time.

As we all know, Takeda Shingen, who is entrenched in Kai and is always looking for an opportunity to enter Beijing, has a mortal enemy, none other than Echigo Uesugi Kenshin. Uesugi Kenshin seems to have taken pleasure in fighting Takeda Shingen, and it can be said that he is always inadvertently hindering Takeda Shingen's way to Beijing.

For more than 20 years, whenever the snow and ice in the northern mountains melted, Uesugi Kenshin always came to take on the challenge. He neither accepted any benefits offered by the Takeda family, nor did he ignore the demands for peace. Uesugi Kenshin, who believes in Zen Buddhism, is so aggressive that Takeda Shingen is disheartened.

In August of the fourth year of Eiroku, the Battle of Nakajima in Sichuan, which began between the Takeda family and the Uesugi family, lasted until May of the fifth year of Eiroku, and it was in May that Uesugi Kenshin took advantage of the opportunity of a battle between the two sides to break into the camp of the Takeda family on Kawanaka Island alone, wanting to kill Takeda Shingen with his love knife "Little Bean Nagamitsu", and his strange style made the world jaw-dropping.

At that time, Takeda Shingen managed to escape with Western armaments, but he was injured in both his wrists and shoulders. And not one or two stabs, but eight in a row. Uesugi Kenshin's sword was lightning fast, and even the Suwa Dharma helmet, which Takeda Shingen had always been proud of, was stabbed three times.

Thereupon. Shingen Takeda was injured as a result. And had to divide the forces in two. Some of the troops continued to use Kaizu Castle as a base to monitor the Uesugi family's army after the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima, which ended in June, and the other part escorted Takeda Shingen, who needed to recuperate, to Takato Castle in Shinano Province.

While recuperating, Takeda Shingen couldn't help but recall that whenever the dead trees spit green and the snow melted, Takeda had to prepare for the Eastern Front; And when the snow was falling and thousands of miles of ice were frozen, Takeda Shingen began to rush to Beijing. The messengers of spring came from the east, and the messengers of winter came from the west. This qiē seems absurd, but it is also the fate of Takeda Shingen. Takeda Shingen will not be afraid of Kenshin Uesugi to the east, and thus give up his ambitions; It is also impossible to ignore Uesugi Kenshin's existence and enter Beijing lightly. If it weren't for Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen would have entered Beijing at the time of Imagawa Yoshimoto's war.

However, at this time, Takeda Shingen was already in his early fifties.

At the age of sixteen, he took the head of Shinshu Sakujo Hiraga Genshin, and since then, he has accumulated experience in warfare and has become a samurai giant. He relied on his outstanding political talents to make the people live a prosperous life; He has a sharp eye and insight into what is at stake. long-range close attack; Relying on strong force, seize an opportunity to expand your territory. Now. He hath possessed: the whole territory of the Alpha Fee, two hundred and fifty thousand stones; Most of Shinano, 510,000 koku.

All combined, he has a huge territory of nearly 760,000 stones. Based on the calculation of 10,000 stone territory to support 250 soldiers, he already has about 10,000 troops. But God still did not give him the opportunity to enter Beijing.

But this time, he finally had a chance. Of course, in history, at this time, Takeda Shingen should consider taking advantage of the death of Ueno Yellow Spot Nagano Yemasa, a large-scale invasion of Ueno Country, but unfortunately, due to the Luo family's covert intervention in Tokaido and the Kanto region, this time the Takeda family not only and the Uesugi family in the Kawanakashima area, compared to the confrontation in history for a longer time, and the Nagano family of the Ueno country also took advantage of this period of time to integrate the power of the Ueno country, but also united many wealthy families in the Kanto region to consolidate their own strength, As for the allies of the Imagawa family, they fell into civil strife again, giving the Takeda family the opportunity to enter the Mikawa Province and even the Enoe Province region, so Takeda Shingen decisively chose to take advantage of the opportunity to go to Luo.

At this time, Takeda Shingen was sitting quietly in the bedroom of Takato Castle, his eyes half-open, looking at the mountains and forests on the vital mountain. He looked thoughtless. In his fifty-two years of career, his life is as thick as a mountain. He was deep in thought.

Several retainers came to the door and saw Takeda Shingen meditating, and immediately went quietly again. The sound of the shrike bird constantly breaks the calm of the summer courtyard.

The third person to come to the bedroom was his sister-in-law, Yoshinobu Takeda. Yoshinobu Takeda saw his father pondering and wanted to leave, but finally sat down. He wanted to wait until Shingen Takeda woke up. But after waiting for a long time, Takeda Shingen did not move. Yoshinobu Takeda sat quietly, looking out at the courtyard in the middle of summer. His father is as majestic and solemn as an iron tower, and Yoshinobu Takeda is a son-in-law who is as gentle as a woman.

"Is it Yoshishin?" After a while, Takeda Shingen finally spoke, "Has Kaga's secret envoy arrived?" ”

Yoshinobu Takeda finally knew what his father was thinking. "No, it's the people we sent to Oda who have returned."

"How's Nobunaga?"

"He is attacking Ise Province in an all-out way, and he has not yet responded to his family's request for an alliance."

Takeda Shingen stared at Yoshinobu with wide eyes and said in a low voice, "What about the Imagawa family?" ”

"It's still in the midst of civil strife, but I'm afraid Suruga won't be able to support it for too long, and the other side has asked the family for help several times."

"Yoshinobu, let Baba Nobuharu and Yama Prefecture Masakai spread the above situation to the Imagawa domain."

"Do you want the Imagawa family to be shunned?" Yoshinobu Takeda asked sternly. Deep down, he didn't want the Takeda family to have a bad relationship with the Imagawa family.

Takeda Shingen shook his head slightly, "This family is borrowing. And it's also to help allies quell civil strife! ”

A smile appeared on Takeda Yoshinobu when he heard this, as if he didn't think so. But he still replied obediently, "My son will do it." ”

Immediately, Takeda Yoshinobu said, "However, the alliance between Nobunaga and the Tokugawa family is stronger than we thought. ”

That's why I let people spread rumors. Knowing how powerful an enemy can have one of two consequences: one is to hold back as a result, and the other is to become more cautious. After Kaga's messenger came. Notify me immediately. Before that. Don't come and disturb my peace. ”

Yoshinobu Takeda nodded. But he didn't mean to get up immediately, and his father's attitude made him sullen, so he moved forward: "Father! ”

Shingen Takeda didn't answer and closed his eyes. In fact, like Yoshinobu Takeda, he thinks that now is a good time. After 52 years of war, exhausted all means and painstaking efforts, his ambition to enter Beijing has never wavered. Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious at this time to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as plundering as fire, and as immobile as a mountain." This is "The Art of War? In the famous words of the "Military Battle", Takeda Shingen deliberately wrote it on the flag to mark the wind of war. His contemplation was as quiet as the wind was coming, and as the peace of the mountains as they gazed at the rushing stream.

"Father." Yoshinobu Takeda said again. Shingen Takeda still hasn't opened his eyes. But Takeda Yoshinobu knew that he must be listening, so he continued: "Since you are so worried about Kaga and Echichu. How about sending an envoy to find out? ”

“……”

"If you let this opportunity go. We'll have to wait until next year...... In the meantime, Nobunaga had consolidated the Ise region, and the Imagawa family had been reunited, so the family would never have a chance again. Yoshinobu Takeda spoke again.

In fact, there is a more important reason why Takeda Yoshinobu is so anxious to encourage his father to do his best to take advantage of the Kamiraku, that is, he hopes to take this opportunity to free his wife's maiden family, the Suruga Imagawa family, from the siege of the Toe Imagawa family, after all, only the Suruga Imagawa family can continue to rule Suruga Province and become the heir to the Takeda family's throne. As for the Toe Imagawa family, although they are also his relatives, Takeda Yoshinobu has indeed never dealt with the family's family governor Imagawa Burial Zero before, so he is more supportive of the Suruga Imagawa family, where the Imagawa clan is located.

"Yixin, you are also in your twenties this year, you must learn to be calm."

"You don't believe in the power of the Ichizong sect?"

Takeda Shingen half-closed his eyes and shook his head gently: "The flame lit by outsiders is easy to extinguish. I was waiting for them to ignite the flames of the riot spontaneously. Only then can Uesugi Kenshin be stopped. Takeda Shingen's tone was heavy, his heart was worried and full of hope.

Yoshinobu Takeda was speechless, gave a salute, and left. And when Takeda Yoshinobu returned to the front door of his residence, the boy who was waiting in front of the gate immediately came over to report:

"Kaga's secret envoy has arrived."

"Kaga's secret envoy?" Yoshinobu Takeda's eyes lit up. He hurried to the guest room. Kagami's envoy will report the news of the Ichizane riot that his father had been waiting for. How the father decides depends on this debriefing to a great extent. Yoshinobu Takeda couldn't help but get his blood boiling.

"Zuo Totai, you step back first." Yoshinobu Takeda wanted to talk to the messenger before asking him to go to see his father. Pulling open the door painted with a tiger, he entered the guest room: "It's hard work. I'm Yoshinobu Takeda. What are the trends in Vietnam-Chugo and Kaga? ”

"You're Yoshinobu Takeda?" The envoy glanced at him. At a glance, it was clear that this man was a monk, but he deliberately wore long hair and dressed as a healer. He looked terrifying, and in his left hand he twisted the Buddhist beads that marked his faith, "The villain is a secret envoy sent by the abbot of Honganji Temple, please let me go to see Shin Xuangong first." After saying that, he ignored Takeda Yoshinobu's existence and proudly turned his gaze to the courtyard.

Yoshinobu Takeda was stunned. Obviously, Honganji didn't like Takeda Yoshinobu. But this man already knows who he is, but does not give his name, which is too much of a deception! Takeda Yoshinobu desperately controlled his anger and said with a smile: "If there is something important, I will report it immediately." What is the name of the master? ”

"You've seen that I'm not a Buddhist."

"Indeed, you are not wearing a vestment, but a common garment. Well, your name ......"

"Even if you put your name on it, you probably don't know. But since asked, I might as well tell you. I'm Katsuraku Fujino, a physician at the Kaga Yasutaku family. Amitabha. ”

"Katsuraku Fujino? You wait. Yoshinobu Takeda's eyebrows trembled, and he went out angrily.

The people supported by the Shinshu military generals must not please the capital; Those who please the capital will definitely not be welcomed by the people and generals. Yoshinobu Takeda suddenly thought of what happened after his father's death. After my father's death, the monks of Honganji Temple probably did not act rashly. So, for the sake of the future of the Takeda family, it's better to hold back your anger now......

When Yoshinobu Takeda saw his father Shingen Takeda again, his father was still facing the vital mountain and sat peacefully, so Yoshinobu Takeda immediately reported:

"Father, Kaga's secret envoy has arrived."

Takeda Shingen opened his eyes slightly: "Who is it?" ”

"He calls himself Katsuraku Fujino."

Fujino ...... Then it's the rich orange family. Takeda Shingen nodded thoughtfully, "Got it, let him wait." ”

As his father Takeda Shingen said this, Takeda Yoshinobu immediately felt a little cramped and uneasy. He thought that his father, Takeda Shingen, would jump up when he heard that the messenger was coming, but it turned out to be the complete opposite, so he confirmed again: "Let him wait? ”

"Hmm." Takeda Shingen nodded when he heard this, and then continued, "Since the envoy is here, then the matter must have been decided. I want to think about it for a while. ”

"At this time, do you still have to think about it? It's not like your style......"

When Takeda Shingen heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and said affirmatively, "We won!" ”

"You mean?"

"Since the secret envoy has arrived, it means that the monks of Echichu and Kaga have blocked the attack of Echigo for me in this winter."

"So, you should ...... quickly"

"No, I'm going to think about the future now, Yoshinobu...... There are probably other battles in the world than war. ”

"A battle other than war?"

"I mean, everybody's life counts. How many years will I have to live after the victory? ”

"This ...... This ......"

"You don't know, and I don't. Before you die, you have to fight without stopping. Even if I die in battle, I will not complain or insult, and it is this matter that I am thinking about now. The Takeda family was destined to send troops. So, you let me think about it for a while. Sue the secret envoy and let him eat first. ”

After speaking, Takeda Shingen gently closed his eyes again. The summer sun slanted in the west, and the autumn leaves stained the sky red in the evening......
