Although the land of 30,000 stones has been obtained, the clan clan does not dare to swallow it alone, and the Oda family has not yet implemented the army system, if there is no Nobunaga agree, then even if this land is fought by himself, it has nothing to do with himself, so after settling down, he has to find a time to meet Nobunaga in person and fight for the land of 30,000 stones.

Compared with the clan, Tokugawa Ieyasu is in Hamamatsu Castle, so the news of the retreat of the Takeda family's army is much earlier than the clan's clan, and this is what he saw with his own eyes, Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw this, his first thought was that this was Takeda Shingen's ghost plan, but he thought about it, if Takeda Shingen wanted to destroy the family, then after the tripartite war, the family would no longer exist, and there was no need for any trickery at all.

And his think tank, Ishikawa Shumasa, also felt a little unbelievable after seeing the Takeda army leave, he thought that maybe something big happened to the Takeda family, so he had to withdraw the army and return, but he couldn't have thought that the Takeda family's withdrawal was due to the fall of Takeda Shingen.

And just when people were puzzled, Hattori Hanzo, the commander of the Tokugawa family ninja army, appeared in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

"Report to the lord, according to his subordinates, Takeda Shingen has died of illness yesterday. Please also ask the Lord to decide. ”

"What? You say Shingen Takeda is dead? How is this possible! ”

"Lord, my subordinates have found out that Takeda Shingen's death is the result of anger, according to his subordinates, Takeda Shingen has been wiped out after receiving the army sent to Hida, and the main general Yama County Changjing was killed, and the wind demon turned to the Takayama family. It was precisely because of the temporary rebellion in the Wind Demon that the Hida Takeda Army was defeated, and the ninjas in the Wind Demon were even more robbed when they went to Hida and took advantage of the emptiness of the Takeda family's territory defense, and they caused huge losses to the Takeda family. After such news, he vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot, and asked the lord to decide. ”

After Tokugawa Ieyasu listened. It was the first time he realized the importance of ninjas, and like most samurai in the world, he looked down on ninjas. Therefore, although the Tokugawa family also had a ninja army, there were only 200 people, let alone let them fight in the army. Even if it is not enough to be responsible for finding out the information, and now he doesn't think so, if the 1,000 ninja army is used well, then it can even withstand the 5,000 army, and from this moment on, he also plans to vigorously develop the ninja army like the Takayama family.

And the retreat of the Takeda family is definitely a golden opportunity for him, not to mention anything else, at least he must first take back the land lost by his family, thinking of this, he only heard him ask: "Hanzo." Where is the Takeda family army now? ”

Returning to the lord, the Takeda army retreated and started to make a rapid journey, and now they have all entered the Junhe River, which originally belonged to the city. It was all abandoned, except for the castle controlled by the wealthy clan that had previously been subordinated to the Takeda family, and this Hamamatsu Castle, the castles in the country of Enoe have become empty cities, and the lord is asked to decide. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, how did Enoe get it. He knew very well that if it weren't for the fact that a large number of wealthy clans in the country were completely disappointed in the Imagawa family and chose to submit to their own family, then even if he could take this place, he would have to pay a lot of price, since the other party had already surrendered, if there was no reason to take away their land, it would inevitably cause a large-scale rebellion, so he had to accept the fact that more than fifty percent of the land in the country of Yuanjiang was controlled by the wealthy family, and now he finally had a reason to do it.

Thinking of this, he immediately summoned his retainers to discuss the matter of leaving the army.

This time, Kita-Tokugawa Ieyasu recruited all the important ministers of the Tokugawa family who were in charge of leading the army, except for Ishikawa Shumasa, so the number was not very large, and what surprised everyone even more was that Hattori Hanzo, who had never appeared at the evaluation meeting, actually appeared here this time, not only were they surprised, but even Hattori Hanzo himself felt unbelievable.

First of all, not only is his identity just a small one, but he is not qualified to participate in the meeting of important ministers at all, and the lord has always paid little attention to ninjas, so maybe the lord only let himself explain the movements of the Takeda family to his retainers, and he will recruit himself together.

However, he did not have long to think about it, and as soon as everyone arrived, he saw Kawa Ieyasu coming out of the inner room. "Subordinates, etc., see the lord."

When Tokugawa Ieyasu and his faction appeared in the assessment room, Hattori Hanzo saluted with the retainers.

"Okay, I have summoned you and others here today because I have something important to say."

Speaking of which, I saw him look at Hattori Hanzo, he was the only one in the family, and he was the only one who had an inextricable relationship with the ninjas of the Iga family, so if he wanted to recruit enough ninjas, he had to be, of course, if he just wanted to expand the ninja army, it would not be too difficult for the Tokugawa family today, but he knew that a strong ninja army, just by the bottom of the lower ninja is not enough, the lower ninja is more, and in the end it is just a plate of loose sand, so the upper ninja and the middle ninja are also essential.

There is only one upper ninja in the family, and there are only seven ninjas, once the ninja army is encapsulated to the number of thousands, relying on a few of them, how to command, so at the same time as recruiting the ninja army, it is necessary to recruit the upper ninja and the middle ninja, and this task, no one can compare to Hattori Hanzo.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Hanzo, you have served your family for many years, and you have all the credit and hard work, this time not only to promote your status, but also to give you enough power." I have now promoted you to the rank of Ashigaru Shogun, and I will continue to lead the Shinobi Army as the Ashigaru Shogun. ”

"Thank you for the generous reward of the lord, and my subordinates will swear allegiance to the Tokugawa family and the lord to the death." Hattori Hanzo couldn't help but say excitedly.

He had been waiting for this day for a long, long time, although he had become a samurai as a ninja, he had already felt very satisfied, but after a few years, he saw that several of the retainers with the same identity as himself had already entered the ranks of the important ministers of his family, how could he not be envious.

But he also knows that the identity of the important minister will never belong to him, but now, he sees hope again, the lord can promote himself once, then as long as he is willing to work hard, there will definitely be a next time, although he will be promoted much slower than other retainers, but as long as he does not die, then one day he will become a major minister in the family, how can this not make him feel excited.

As for what the lord said about letting him continue to lead the ninja army, he didn't think much about it, his family was a ninja himself, and if he didn't become the commander of the ninja army, who else would do it, which was not a good errand for a samurai from an orthodox background.

But he didn't know that it was precisely because he could continue to serve as the commander of the ninja army that his promotion speed would not only be not slower than the other samurai of the Tokugawa family, but even faster......)
