"Let the Takeda army retreat, guarding the mountain road is more important than asking for a few heads." Takeda Shingen is not a stupid person, since the Takeda army retreated decisively at this time, it must have a backhand, and at this time, trying to gain time to stabilize the newly acquired Suruga Country region is the royal road, as for entanglement with the Takeda family, this is not the purpose of Masayo.

So, when the Wind Forest Volcano Banner disappeared into the mountains, Masaro also walked down the barrier, and at the same time he thought to himself, "The Suruga game is over, and the Kanto game has just begun." ”

And just as the Imagawa family repelled the Takeda family's army, there was an army walking on the Suruga Plain, and the banner was the Asahina clan. A procession of hundreds of people was heading in the direction of Nomatsudai.

"Tai Chao, why did we rush to the battlefield. The Toe Imagawa family first settled on Suruga, and it was the time to kill. The various wealthy clans did not dare to move without an order, and our clan led troops forward, I am afraid that we will be misunderstood. Asahina said worriedly.

Asahina Shinji was placed after the Suruga Imagawa family surrendered to the Toe Imagawa family, so he quickly surrendered to the Enoe-Imagawa family along with the Asahina Tai Dynasty. And this time, when the Toe Imagawa family and the Takeda family were fighting in Nomatudai, Asahina Tai did not hesitate to bring troops to support, and at the same time asked Asahina Shinji to go with him.

"It was because no one was moving that we went. Otherwise, how can we highlight the status of our Asahina family? Asahina said to Asahina Taiji.

In fact, Asahi is a little more selfish than the Natai Dynasty, after all, he has had conflicts with the Enoe-Imagawa family before, and even the family territory in the Enoe country was occupied by the Enoe-Imagawa family, and the family and clansmen also became prisoners of the Enoe-Imagawa family, and then after some negotiations. Although it is impossible to regain its own territory. But at least he redeemed his family and his clansmen.

And it was this time that Tong Guò was negotiated. The Asahina Tai Dynasty family was able to establish a relationship with the Enoe-Imagawa family, and now, the Asahina Tai Dynasty naturally hopes to take advantage of the opportunity of the battle between the Enoe-Imagawa family and the Takeda family to offer their loyalty again, and maybe the relationship between the Asahina family and the Enoe-Imagawa family can be further advanced.

The army marched to the outskirts of Nomatsudai and stopped, and walked into the mountain path with only a dozen cavalry escorts towards Hinatai and Asahina Shinji. In the mountain road, the army cannot be spread, and a thousand more and a thousand less are the same. However, if he led his troops into the mountain road and blocked the retreat of the Enoe-Imagawa family, whether intentionally or not, he would be suspected of bad intentions.

The two rode lightly. Soon he met the soldiers of the Toe Imagawa family on the mountain road, asked for the location, and moved forward to find the Masara main camp. On the road, the soldier's expression was excited, and he kept talking about Takeda Shingen being repelled or something. Asahinai Taichao secretly made a note of it, and became more determined about his choice. As soon as Takeda retreated, Suruga was the bag of the Toe Imagawa family.

When they arrived at the checkpoint, there was a notification, and the two were ushered in.

"Asahina Tai Chao (Asahina Shinji) to meet your lordship. Congratulations to Shingen Takeda for his victory. The two knelt down. Masaliang's second son, Luo Shi Xinliang, hurriedly asked the two to get up and asked the attendants to carry the two Mazars and sit them down. The reason why the second son, Luo Xinliang, came forward to meet these two people was mainly because Zhengliang would have to leave here sooner or later. Therefore, it is more appropriate to let the second son come forward.

"Lord Asahina Taichao can come and support this family. I am deeply gratified in the following. After explaining the situation, Luo Shinra expressed his gratitude to the two, at least explaining the attitude of some of Suruga's wealthy families: they were willing to submit.

"The minister doesn't dare to take credit, and there are important things to report to the adults." Things can be big or small, and Asahina Tai Chao pondered for a while before continuing, "In order to persuade Tokura Castle to surrender, the minister took the initiative to let go of the castle's guardian Okabe Masatsuna. Please punish you. Then he knelt on the dirt.

Okabe Masatsuna is the younger brother of Okabe Motoshin who was defeated by Roche Nobuya and Masarashi several times and died. Although Roshi Nobora was a little dissatisfied with Asahina Taichao for letting Okabe Masatsuna go, it was a great achievement that he was able to take Tokura Castle for the Toe Imagawa family without blood, after all, Tokura Castle was the gateway city of Suruga Province to the Hojo family's Izu Province region by land.

Besides, his father Masashi once said that no matter what is investigated, it is not the work of the master. Although Asahinai Taichao is a bit selfish, it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't affect the overall situation. Those who grasp big and small things and get to the bottom of the matter are at most a village head. After thinking of this, Luo Xinliang immediately said: "He is not an important person, just go!" ”

After hearing this, Asahina Taichao finally let go of the last trace of doubt in his heart. It is impossible for this adult of the Imagawa family to be unaware of his friendship with Okabe Motonobu. Saying that he let go of Okabe Masatsuna is the answer he wants: can the monarch trust Ren. When the king chooses the minister, the minister also chooses the king.

Now, having received the answer he wanted, Asahina Shinji has decided to serve the Toe Imagawa family without reservation. This is how the monarch and the minister are appropriate, the king does not doubt the minister, the minister does not doubt the king, the king is suspicious, and the minister is centrifuged. Of course, the premise is that the adult is worthy of his subordinates' death.

Now that he had made a decision in his heart, he gritted his teeth and told him an important piece of information he had obtained earlier: "My lord, when your majesty was persuading Tokura Castle to surrender, he sent an envoy to the Katsuyama family and asked him to jointly send troops to help the powerful people of Higashi Suruga to surrender, but the Katsuyama family drove out the envoy under him. ”

"Oh?"

Sure enough, after hearing Asahina's words, Roshi Nobuya's brows suddenly frowned, seeing this scene, Asahina Taichao knew that his adventure this time to reveal information would definitely not be a problem, so he immediately continued: "The heir of the Katsuyama family, the Katsuyama clan, is the son of Takeda Shingen, and the Katsuyama family seems to be secretly in contact with the Hojo family and the Takeda family in the border lands. ”

The Katsuyama family, which is mentioned in the Asahina Tai Dynasty, is located at the border between Suruga Province, Sagami Province, and Kai Province, and if you walk half a mile east from Katsurayama Castle, you can reach Ashigara Castle, the gateway town of Suruga Province to Sagami Province, and you can enter the Kai Province area of the Takeda family by climbing the mountain path over Mt. Fuji to the north. For a long time, this family has always been torn between the Imagawa family and the Takeda family, and if there is a change in the family, it will indeed have a great impact on the Imagawa family, which has just ended the civil strife.

However, according to the meaning of his father Masahiro, at present, it is also hoped that a wealthy family will take the initiative to confront them, and they also take this opportunity to clear the hidden dangers within the Imagawa family, and at the same time take the opportunity to increase the Luo family's control over the local area, but Luo Xinliang did not expect that he would be a bird so soon.

So after thinking of this, Luo Shi Xinliang immediately smiled and said: "At this time, the family knows, and the loyal servants of the Asahinai Tai Dynasty to the family are also known. ”

"Yes!" Although I don't know why the mysterious Prince Nobora in front of him didn't respond immediately, since he got the other party's recognition of the Asahina family, Asahina Taichao naturally won't say more.

In this way, the time soon came to the eighth month of the fifth year of Yonglu. Counting the days, Takeda Shingen has been away for more than ten days, and the information sent back from the Intelligence Pavilion every day shows that the Takeda family does not seem to continue to use troops against Suruga Province, but has mobilized a lot of troops to the Kita-Shinano area, I don't know if it is to deal with the Uesugi family or have other intentions.

So, Masarashi left 1,000 standing defenses and 3,000 ashigaru to continue digging mountains and fortifying castles in the mountain passes, and then returned to Sunfu with the rest of the army. He is ready to guide Imagawa Fuling and Luo Shishira and others behind the scenes to control the entire Imagawa family's territory.

However, before he could start his action, a message came back from the Intelligence Pavilion that it turned out that three Imagawa family reserve soldiers who had returned home on vacation had died in the territory of the Katsuyama family.

The result of the investigation is that the three people who died were originally idle people in the territory of the Katsuyama family. When I first visited Yuanjiang Country, I came to eat and drink when I was spending a lot of money in Yuanjiang Province and Luo Shixinliang, but I didn't want to be selected as a reserve soldier. This time, after the Imagawa family of Toe unified the Imagawa family, they naturally took the opportunity of the vacation to go home and naturally showed off how powerful the Imagawa family was. As a result, the samurai of the Katsuyama family, who was annoyed, were beaten to death by the crowd.

"My lord, this is an opportunity, and if you don't grasp it, you will suffer from it." The military advisor Kansuke Yamamoto was the first to stand up and agitate.

"What the military advisor said is reasonable, let's fight! Lord. Hyakwu Kenkan also said.

"Yes, we will take the opportunity to send troops to completely occupy the Higashi-Suruga area." Narimatsu Nobukatsu also said.

"Let's fight!"

Zhengliang saw that his retainers were full of fighting spirit, and said with satisfaction: "We must fight if we fight, but we must be famous, and we must fight with a way." Xuanyi. ”

"Your Majesty is here." Maeda Genyi immediately received the order. As he continued to gain the trust of the Luo family, Genji Maeda was still a retainer of the Imagawa family in name at this time, but in fact he was already a retainer of the Luo family.

"Draw up a letter of submission to ask Katsuyama Shihiro why he killed the samurai of his family, ask him to hand over the murderer, and personally come to Sunfu Castle to apologize." Katsuyama clan is the governor of the Katsuyama family.

"Yes"

After the interrogatories were issued from Sunfu Castle, Masara issued a summoning order. After the retainers were ordered, Masaro deliberately left Yamamoto Kansuke and ordered him to spread some rumors in the Tojun Mansion that the Katsuyama family had joined forces with the Takeda family to stand on their own.

The envoy who sent the letter of interrogation soon returned, and the Katsuyama clan angrily refused the request, and took the opportunity to publicize that the Toe Imagawa family was a retainer of the Suruga Imagawa family under the pretext of knowing it, and since the retreat, the former vassals of the Suruga Imagawa family have united to resist the newly unified Imagawa family.
