No way! Zongheng's automatic publishing system has pumped again! It was set to send it at 12 o'clock at noon, but it never sent it. I'm sorry everyone, 555

――Even Su due to late update and daoqian drop split line ORZ――

The mountains are steep, and in many places there are no roads at all. Chen Sheng naturally didn't take it to heart, but Tokugawa Ieyasu had a hard time. Chen Sheng had to walk a few steps before stopping and waiting for him, and sometimes he had to hold him with his hands to prevent him from stumbling and falling. In this way, of course, the speed will not be faster. I finally walked to the foot of the mountain, but I had been tossing for most of the night, and it was not long before dawn.

Along the way, Tokugawa Ieyasu's clothes were torn by tree branches in many places, and his hair was disheveled. His face and hands were even more covered with mud, and he looked embarrassed. When I went down to the foot of the mountain, I saw a clear stream beside it, which was flowing loudly. Tokugawa Ieyasu hurriedly stepped forward, squatted on the bank of the river to wash his hands and face, and took two sips of the stream water. Chen Sheng himself felt a little thirsty, but he was not interested in drinking stream water, so he casually took out a can of Wang Laoji herbal tea from his private storage space, opened it and drank a few sips. Before he finished drinking, he suddenly heard footsteps in the distance. Immediately afterward, at least two dozen people rushed out of the grove on the other side of the creek with torches and guns in hand. In unison, they shouted, "Who is it and where?" zhanzhu, not allowed to move. ”

Chen Sheng smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and raised his eyes to look. I saw that the leader was a young man, with slender eyebrows, elegant and bright eyes, a very steep physique, dressed as an ordinary samurai, with a celadon kettle hanging from his waist, and a white cloth handkerchief. The rest of the people around him also looked quite strong, obviously not ordinary peasants, but samurai.

Tokugawa Ieyasu also looked up. His gaze met that of the young man, and he suddenly froze. The more I looked at it, the more shocked I became. I couldn't help but blurt out, "Is it Big Brother Jifashi?" ”

The young man was also startled when he suddenly heard the words "Jifa Master", and shouted, "Who are you?" weishenme…… Hey? You guy, you look familiar, too. Don't...... Don't...... Are you Chiyo Take? ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded with a wry smile and said, "Yes." That's me. But now I'm older. So Brother Yoshifa-sen, just like I should change my words now and call you Oda Kamisuke Nobunaga. You should also change your tune and call me Tokugawa Ieyasu. ”

Extraordinary people have extraordinary abilities. At that time, Tokugawa Ieyasu was a hostage in the Oda family, and the people around him looked down on him. Only Oda Nobunaga, the son of the head of the family, didn't know that Weishenme was particularly attached to this little hostage, not only maintained and took care of him, but also often took him out to play. Between the two, they are often called brothers, and they have a very good relationship.

Because of this, the short two years of being a hostage in the Oda family were the only bright spot in Tokugawa Ieyasu's gloomy childhood. So although they haven't seen each other for nearly ten years, once they meet again at this moment, the two can still easily recognize each other.

In fact, when you think about it, the personalities of these two people are completely different. Oda Nobunaga was bold and curious, and regarded all the laws in the world as nothing, and let them out. Tokugawa Ieyasu was conservative and traditional, and regarded the samurai law as more important than anything else, and was introverted and deep. But despite this, they understand each other better than anyone else, and trust each other more than anyone else.

Historically, when Tokugawa Ieyasu broke away from the Imagawa family and regained his independence as an independent shili, he formed an alliance with Oda Nobunaga, known as the "Kiyoshu Kai Alliance" in history. There are countless similar alliance agreements in the history of Japan's Warring States period. But its zuihou results, almost without exception, all ended in one side brazenly tearing up the covenant. However, the "Cheongju Alliance" is an exception. During Oda Nobunaga's lifetime, they remained steadfast in their observance of the covenant they had concluded. As always, support each other. It is an outlier in the history of Japan's Warring States period.

As for the various aspects of the "Cheongju Alliance" in the future, it is natural that no one knows about these two parties at this moment. They have been separated for nearly ten years, and although they have not met each other, they are familiar with each other's recent situation. The son of the Oda family at that time has now succeeded his deceased father Oda Nobuhide as the head of the family, unified the entire territory of Owari Province, and is officially called Kamisuke. And the little hostage back then has now become a general under Imagawa Yoshimoto.

The Imagawa family has always been hostile to the Oda family, so Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu are now also on both sides of the camp. When the excitement and joy of reunion after a long absence subsided slightly, the two immediately remembered this unavoidable question. Oda Nobunaga frowned and asked, "Hey, Takechiyo...... Ah no, it's Ieyasu. Aren't you from Imagawa Fatty? Why did you suddenly come to my Owari country? It doesn't come to reunite with me, does it? What happened to the landslide over there just now, does it have anything to do with you? ”

"O, Owari?" Tokugawa Ieyasu's mind hadn't turned around yet, and he was still confused. He subconsciously denied: "This is Owari? How can it be? I was still in Junfu just now. ”

Oda Nobunaga smiled, "I don't know what happened to you. But here it is, really, Owari. I had already fallen asleep, but I didn't expect a loud noise outside that woke everyone in the city. Soon after, someone said that a strange bird flew in the sky and crashed into the mountain outside the city. That's why I brought someone here to see what kind of monster it was. Ieyasu, if you don't believe me, just see for yourself. Do you remember where this is? ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu had always known that Oda Nobunaga was a man who disdained lying. Since he said so conclusively, he must be true. But...... How is this possible? In an instant, Tokugawa Ieyasu took a deep breath, barely calmed himself, and then looked up, looking left and right. Not to mention, after taking such a closer look, it really evoked the memory in his mind. This mountain, this water, this forest...... It's all so familiar.

Come to think of it. When he was a child as a hostage at the Oda family, didn't Oda Nobunaga often bring himself and a group of other half-grown children to this riverbank to fish, hunt birds, wrestle, and play war? The familiar scenery, coupled with the Oda Nobunaga in front of you, there is no doubt that this is Owari Province, and it is only a mile or two away from Kiyoshu Castle, the main city of the Oda family.

Obviously, he was still in Sunfu Castle in Suruga Province just now, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he actually came to Owari Province. Is it immortal law, or witchcraft? In an instant, Tokugawa Ieyasu was stunned and couldn't make a sound.

Chen Sheng watched coldly, but he didn't think it was strange. As we all know, during the Meiji Restoration, Japan carried out a campaign to abolish feudal domains and dispose of prefectures. The original Edo Three Hundred Domains were abolished, and the names of the 66 provinces that had been handed down from the Heian period were no longer needed, and all of them were merged into 47 prefectures, including 1 prefecture (Tokyo), 1 province (Hokkaido), 2 prefectures (Kyoto and Osaka), and 43 prefectures. Suruga Province was changed to Shizuoka Prefecture, and Owari Province was changed to Aichi Prefecture. The capital of Aichi Prefecture is Nagoya City. It can be said that it is the same place as the location of Atsuta Jingu, a famous tourist attraction in Owari Province, and Kiyoshu, the residence of Oda Nobunaga.

In the sixties of the twentieth century, Japan built a railway called the Tokaido Shinkansen. The top speed is around 270 km/h. It starts in Tokyo, the modern capital of Japan, and ends in Osaka. The whole journey takes just over two hours. Tokyo to Shizuoka Station is 167 km and to Nagoya Station is 342 km. If you calculate it this way, the distance between Suruga and Owari is just over 170 kilometers. For an Apache helicopter that can reach a top speed of more than 360 kilometers per hour, it will not take half an hour to completely wipe out this distance.

Chen Sheng, a person born in modern society, has enjoyed the convenience of transportation brought by various modern technologies since he was a child. Especially after the opening of China's high-speed railway, a total of 1,069 kilometers between Guangzhou and Wuhan will be reached, which will only take more than two hours. So in Chen Sheng's mind, just over 100 kilometers, can it be called a long road?

However, for Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga, to put it mildly, this era was: "Transportation is basically by walking, and communication is basically by roaring." Under normal circumstances, Tokugawa Ieyasu would have to walk from Suruga to Owari for at least three or five days, even on horseback. Now it's almost in the blink of an eye, but how can he not be taught not to be full of unbelievable and completely unbelievable?

Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu are friends who have played with mud together since childhood. After a long absence, although they have their own doubts, they don't have any other thoughts. But the group of samurai around Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but have a small commotion when they landed. Among them, a burly and bearded samurai stepped out of the crowd, slammed his hand on the ground with a red gun, and said in a low voice: "My lord, this is the young master of the Tokugawa family?" That's great. In this case, it is better to invite him back to Cheongju as a guest first. That way, we can take advantage of the opportunity......"

"Rats are blind and stupid. Singer, you are not allowed to talk about this kind of naïve talk in the future. Oda Nobunaga was completely dismissive of this proposal of his chief family's old Shibata Katsuie. It is true that the Oda family had the will to capture Mikawa and occupy its land for many years. However, now the whole of Mikawa has been annexed by Imagawa Yoshimoto for ten years. Even if Oda Nobunaga himself had no friendship with Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Sengoku leader fully understood that capturing only a hostage like Tokugawa Ieyasu would not help capture Mikawa's territory at all, but would only anger Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Owari Province has just been reunified, and now its strength is still very weak. If a head-on conflict breaks out with the Imagawa family at this moment, or even turns into a full-scale war, then the Oda family will definitely be the loser. How can such foolishness, which does not outweigh the gains, be the work of a wise man? ――

Sigh. The day before yesterday, 12 was in full swing, and the weight of 9,000 words was about three chapters. Yesterday I wanted to make persistent efforts, but I didn't expect it to be Kavin. No matter how you write it, you can only write about 4000. Alas, it's so hard to save more manuscripts
