Oda Nobunaga said slowly, "Koga-kung? But I think Ieyasu must be in a rough mood now, I really don't know what he thinks, but I just want him to know the advance and retreat, and willingly call the Oda family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Takigawa Kazuki was stunned and looked up in amazement, he didn't expect Oda Nobunaga to know the truth completely, pretending not to know, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys?! Maybe it's not just Matsudaira Ieyasu, the big horse monkey, but also those people of Mikawa who are unwilling to fail.

Oda Nobunaga said confidently: "Although there is no way to enter Suruga Province and cut off Imagawa Yoshimoto's head, we will definitely be able to seize Mikawa Province, and then threaten Shinano, Enoe and other places, and take an important step in the westward journey." ”

Takigawa Kazuyi listened quietly, silently pondering, the haze in his heart gradually dissipated under the sunlight, he looked up at Oda Nobunaga, Gundam's fierce back exuded a fierce and violent momentum under the reflection of the sun, which made people can't help but have a heart of awe and worship.

Sure enough, it is worthy of the wind and clouds of Tokaido, in the eyes of Takigawa Kazuyi, he is a heroic figure who can compete with Date Masahiro, if it is not for Date Masahiro's rise too fast, and give Oda Nobunaga a few years of farming time, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no possibility of competing for the world.

Time also, life also!

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, Takigawa Kazuki saw clearly that the speed of the horse was rushing directly towards him, but he was stunned, and his face showed a hint of relief, the knight's horsemanship was obviously very good, and he stopped immediately when he was about to arrive, and then jumped from the horse a heroic young samurai.

Takigawa Kazuki shouted lightly: "Keijiro, what's the situation ahead?" ”

The person who came was Takigawa Ichiyi's nephew Maeda Interests, Takigawa Ichiyi's sister Atsune took his young son Sobei to live at home, and later married the widower Maeda Toshihisa as a stepfamily, Toshihisa is a benevolent person, and treats his stepson Sobei quite favorably, as a parent, and when he becomes an adult, he changes his name to Maeda Interests, commonly known as Keijiro.

In the third year of Yongroku, the lord of the barren son city, Maeda Toshimasa, died, and Toshihisa succeeded him as the lord of the castle.

Historically, Oda Nobunaga intended to make his confidant Maeda Toshiya the lord of Arako Castle and the governor of the Maeda family, on the grounds that Maeda Keijiro was a stranger, and in fact, it was Maeda Toshiya who slandered Oda Nobunaga in order to gain the governorship.

In this time and space, creation makes people, Maeda Toshiya is still unpowerful, Maeda Keijiro, who was originally hated by Oda Nobunaga, stood out when he escorted Oda Nobunaga over Mino, and became Oda Nobunaga's new favorite, Maeda Keijiro was born handsome and chic.

In the past three years, Oda Nobunaga has gathered strength, and Keijiro Maeda has also gained a foothold in Arako Castle, and his father Maeda Toshihisa has entrusted him with all political affairs, assisted by several uncles Toshigen, Yasutsu, Sakyo Yoshiyuki, and Hidetsugu.

In the last border war, Maeda Keijiro stayed by Oda Nobunaga's side, without any gains, and was unwilling, this time he took the initiative to ask for the post of sentry detective, and was approved by Oda Nobunaga, leading a team of sentry scouts to explore the way.

Takigawa Kazuki was very dissatisfied with Maeda Keijiro's behavior of losing watermelons and picking sesame seeds, you must know that not everyone can escort Oda Nobunaga, he is good, he took the initiative to shirk it, and ran to the most dangerous place.

The sentinels led by Keijiro Maeda showed excellent combat effectiveness in the battle, and launched a swift slaughter against any enemy who dared to spy on the Oda army, and no one dared to face the might of the Oda army, and achieved a rank 10 meritorious service in the first battle.

Seeing his uncle's question, Keijiro Maeda did not answer immediately, but looked at Oda Nobunaga and said respectfully: "My lord, the sentinel has arrived in the area of Hohan County, and the governor of the Takeya Matsudaira family, Genbo Yun, has turned against the Imagawa clan and switched to the Oda clan, and the lord of Kaminogo Castle, Uden, has abandoned the castle and left, and is replaced by the third uncle Yasukatsu, and the lord has also asked the lord to send a general to take over." ”

Oda Nobunaga heard Maeda Keijiro's report, and said with a faint smile: "Just hand over Kaminoto Castle to Matsudaira Genbo Yun." The Takeya Matsudaira clan is the earliest tributary of the 'Mikawa Eighteen Matsudaira', and as long as he is willing to submit to me, it will be of great advantage for us to rule the Mikawa country. ”

On the surface, Oda Nobunaga said that he didn't mind Matsudaira Ieyasu's yang and yin violations, but in fact, judging from the fact that he handed over the castle of Kaminoto that was abandoned by Uden Nagasho to Matsudaira Kiyozen, it is enough to show that his intention was to create a general trend to replace the Matsudaira clan.

Keijiro Maeda had no opinion, although it was now his uncle Maeda Yasukatsu who was acting as the representative of Kaminojojo, and he continued to report: "My lord, Imagawa Lao'er is obviously not willing to lose, the closer you get to the border of Enoe, the more frequent the hostile sentinel activities become, and the two sides have already called for battle several times, and the Okuhei family abandoned Tashiro Castle and placed all the men and horses in Kameyama Castle, and the Suganuma clan of Tamine, Shimada, Nagashino, Noda and other places gathered in Shirakuhara in the area of Noda Castle and Nagashino Castle. ”

Takigawa Yiyi frowned, from the map, it can be seen that the territory of the Sanfang people of the mountain family is mostly barren mountains and hills, and only by entering the area of Shirakuhara along the Toyogawa River can tens of thousands of troops be arranged, and the area around Nagashino Castle is the essence of the Sanfang people of the mountain family, as long as Nagashino Castle is captured, the rest of the cities will be victorious without a fight. However, this place is very close to the border of Enoe Province, and it is also a place that cannot be lost for Imagawa Yoshimoto, who knows if Oda Nobunaga will build the plank road in the dark, and then shoot straight at Enoe Province.

With a confident smile on his face, Oda Nobunaga said, "Shirakuhara is flanked by gentle hills, and this is also the junction of the three kingdoms of Shinyuan. Once we lost Nagashino Castle, we advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. We can see that Imagawa Yoshimoto and Takeda Harunobu are also not blind, and Imagawa Yoshimoto has no choice at all, he can only support Nagashino Castle at all costs. ”

It turns out that Oda Nobunaga just wanted to use the Battle of Nagashino Castle to force Imagawa Yoshimoto to meet the battle in a hurry, use the terrain of Shirakuhara, give full play to the advantages of the Oda family's firearms, completely defeat Imagawa Yoshimoto, and achieve the general trend of the first in Tokaido.

If Imagawa Yoshimoto couldn't come to the rescue, Oda Nobunaga wouldn't mind breaking through Nagashino Castle, and then crossing the border to attack Enoe Province and burning the war to Enoe Province.

Takigawa Ichiyi pondered for a long time, and after straightening out the complicated relationship, he had a bottom in his heart, and probably knew what he should do, so he suggested: "In this case, I also ask the lord to give an order, and the minister is willing to lead the vanguard to quickly attack Tashiro, Kameyama and other cities, deter the flanks of the three parties of the mountain family, and force the three parties to fall apart for their own interests." ”

Oda Nobunaga said to the heralds: "Order Matsudaira Ieyasu to send troops to attack Tashiro and Kameyama to besiege the Okuhei clan, Shibata Katsuie led his headquarters into Ushikubo Castle to protect the flanks of the army, and Takigawa Kazuki led an army of 3,000 to attack Noda Castle quickly. ”

The defenders of Noda Castle obviously did not expect the Oda army to march so fast, and as soon as they heard that the Oda army had crossed the border, Noda Castle was besieged on the other side, and under one look, the defender Suganuma Dingcun led a strategic retreat of 300 defenders and abandoned Noda Castle.
