The burning of Long Island City, resulting in the death of 100,000 Xiang Sect believers, has spread the news, and it exploded throughout the world in an instant. www.biquge.infoAlmost everyone has to share their thoughts about this with someone else in a day, because if you don't, they won't pay attention to you.

And as a result, in just a few days, the name of Shura once again resounded in the heavens and the earth. Only this time, it was not because of admiration for Oda Yoshinobu's martial arts, but because of a deep fear. Even those who knew Oda Yoshinobu very well had a hint of fear.

"What?! How dare my father do this?! Matsudaira Ieyasu and Imagawa Shin, who were on the way back to Mikawa, almost fell off their horses when they heard the news, and Matsudaira Ieyasu looked at Hattori Hanzo with wide eyes, and then snatched the Azuchi Monthly Newspaper from his hand and kept looking.

After a long while, Matsudaira Ieyasu put down the monthly report and sighed, "Although this method can reduce the influence of the collar, it is still ...... after all" Matsudaira Ieyasu shook his head, his expression was very entangled, but halfway through, he couldn't say a word.

"Actually, although it is a bit appalling for Yoshishin-sama to do this, it is also the best way." Hearing Matsudaira Ieyasu's words, Imagawa said lightly.

"Oh? Does the elder brother think differently? Matsudaira Ieyasu asked respectfully. Just now in Gifu Castle, Imagawa Shin and Matsudaira Ieyasu officially recognized as brothers. Of course, although they became brothers, the Imagawa clan did not recognize Oda Yoshinobu as his father by the way, after all, Matsudaira Ieyasu recognized Oda Yoshinobu as his father for a very good reason, but if the Imagawa clan really recognized Oda Yoshinobu as his father, it would be too ......

"From the family's point of view, whether it is a siege or a strong attack, it will undoubtedly cause huge losses to the family. And if they are persuaded to surrender, with the degree of their fanaticism, it is very likely that they will rebel again. As a result, a large number of troops are needed to guard them. Imagawa said in a deep voice, but in the end, he sighed helplessly, "It's just that everyone knows the truth, but it can really be done, and that kind of pressure is not something that ordinary people can bear." At the very least, he would rather lose some troops, time, and other things than do such a thing. ”

"Yes......" Hearing this, Matsudaira Ieyasu also sighed helplessly, if he were himself, would he dare to do it? Don't dare, even if it's just 100,000 ordinary civilians, he doesn't have the guts, let alone a Buddhist.

This kind of dialogue appeared in the mouths of all the retainers of the Oda family, whether it was Oda Yoshinobu's brother Maeda Toshiie, or the veteran Shibata Katsuie and others, or Kinoshita Hideyoshi and other rising stars. However, unlike the commoners, they, like Imagawa Shin and others, quickly came to the conclusion that Oda Yoshinobu did this.

"It's worthy of Lord Yoshinobu......" Shibata Katsuya said with a twinkle in his eyes, for Oda Yoshinobu, the old minister of the Oda family who is now second only to Lin Xiuzhen and Sakuma Nobumori is sincerely admired.

Suruga.

Takeda Shingen was dealing with the aftermath of the capture of Suruga, and at this time the Takeda family's sweep of Suruga had entered the final stage. Well, in fact, after the Imagawa clan fled, most of the Imagawa family's retainers immediately chose to submit, and only a very small number of them were still desperately resisting. It's not that they don't know that this resistance has no effect at all, but they have either received great favor from the Imagawa family, or they simply want to maintain their loyalty as samurai.

As for these wealthy families, Takeda Shingen didn't pay attention to them, and just let Naito Masatyo and others deal with it themselves. Because compared to these inconsequential little things, the most important thing now is to take over Suruga as quickly as possible and make Suruga Province truly the domain of the Takeda family.

Although he has taken Suruga Province and fulfilled his long-cherished wish, the pressure on Takeda Shingen has not decreased, but has become greater because of it. Because he knew that after taking Suruga, the Takeda family and the Oda family would have a battle sooner or later.

If it were history, Takeda Shingen really didn't take the Oda family, who was being overwhelmed by Honganji, Asai, and Asakura. It's just that now, no matter whether Takeda Shingen wants to admit it or not, the strength of the Takeda family and the Oda family is no longer on the same level.

The Takeda family has a world-famous Red Reserve Force, about 10,000 people. Although rumors say that when Takeda Akabei is mentioned, everyone will think of the cavalry that invaded like fire, but the number of cavalry in Takeda Akabei is actually only more than 2,000 people, and the others are all spears, iron cannons, short knives and other types of troops.

However, they should never be underestimated because they are not cavalrymen, because they are also wearing crimson armor that represents flames. In fact, in the vast majority of battles, these are not the red reserves of the cavalry, but the real combat power of the Takeda Army.

This force is a powerful force that Takeda Shingen used to smash out of the economy of Kai Jinshan, and it is also a symbol of the strength of the Takeda family, but when the Akabei Army, which has an absolute advantage compared to other forces, faces the Oda family, its advantage becomes quite insignificant.

The reason is very simple.

First of all, the biggest reason why the Red Reserve Legion is so strong is that the equipment of the Red Reserve Legion is supplied by the Takeda family. But what about the Oda family? But the same is true, the Takeda family can only supply more than 10,000 people, but the Oda family can supply more than 100,000 people.

Of course, the quality of the equipment of the Oda family is not as good as that of the Takeda family, and the completeness of individual equipment is also not comparable, but obviously, the advantage of the Takeda family in equipment is not too obvious.

And what about combat effectiveness? The Takeda family's Chibei used to have rice and tomo Masa, and now he is commanded by Yama Prefecture Masakai, all of whom are first-class fierce generals. Under their training, the combat effectiveness of the Takeda Akabi Regiment ranked first in Japan. However, although there was no such targeted training on the Oda side, the emergence of reserve military service allowed all units of the Oda Army to participate in a large number of basic training, including endurance, skills, and various formation changes.

When all of this is added up, Takeda Akabi's advantage has been reduced a lot, but the numerical disadvantage is completely irreparable. Because according to Takeda Shingen's calculations, even if the general mobilization order for Shinano, Kai, and Suruga is carried out, 30,000 is already the limit. But what about the Oda family? You must know that when there are only Mino, Owari, Ise, and Mikawa, they can raise 100,000 troops to Shangluo.

Therefore, Takeda Shingen must rectify Suruga as soon as possible, so that it can become one of the real combat power of the Takeda family. Otherwise, the war with the Oda family, Takeda Shingen really has no certainty at all.

Just then, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
