"My lord, the Takeda family has begun to attack Suwawara Castle and Shinno Castle." The chief of the pelican hall reported respectfully.

"Oh? Is it really a division of troops to attack? It seems that this tiger is really impatient. Imagawa chuckled, and from the tone of his voice, he didn't seem to be flustered at all.

"My lord, according to the number of defenders and the defense of Suwa Hara Castle and Shinno Castle, it is no problem to hold on to 4 or 5, unless that tiger attacks the city at any cost, but this possibility is too low." Asahina said in a respectful voice.

"Hmm......" The Imagawa clan groaned when he heard this, and Hayakawa on the side proposed at this time, "My lord, although the possibility is relatively low, but the concubine feels that it is because she is completely prepared. ”

"You mean, to strengthen the defenses of Kakegawa Castle?" Imagawa asked.

"My lord, my subordinates think that this matter is feasible, and if the Takeda family wants to intercept Matsudaira-sama's reinforcements, they must pass through Kakegawa Castle. And the main family only needs to send a general and thousands of defenders in Kakegawa Castle, which is enough for the Takeda family not to dare to detour easily. The chief of the pelican hall echoed.

"Hmm...... Then the Thai Dynasty will lead 3,000 people to go. The Imagawa clan really thought for a while and said, "Calculating the time, Matsudaira-sama's reinforcements will arrive in these two days, and at that time, it will not be so easy for the tiger of Takeda Shingen, whether it is directly attacking the city or detouring to attack the hinterland of the distant river!" ”

The Imagawa clan was really not in a hurry, because in his opinion, even if Matsudaira Ieyasu's reinforcements were a little late, with the city defenses of Takatenjin Castle and Kakegawa Castle, it would be enough to block the offensive of the Takeda family. After all, over the years, the Imagawa clan has never stopped building these two castles. Coupled with the strength of the standing army and the fact that the Takeda family is not good at attacking cities, the Imagawa clan's true confidence did not come out of thin air. And the most important thing is that there are still two cannons in the High Heaven God City, and after seeing the power of this magical weapon, the Imagawa clan is even more confident in resisting the attack of the Takeda family.

The Imagawa clan was really confident that Takeda Shingen naturally couldn't guess it, but he knew that the Imagawa family at this time was no longer the Imagawa family that was attacked in the month of the past. After having the Oda family to rely on, the strength of the Imagawa family is no longer than before. This can be seen from the fact that it is so difficult to attack the small mountain castle.

And in the face of the more solid Suwahara Castle, Takeda Shingen had to sigh that he really seemed to underestimate the Imagawa family.

"What's the situation going on over there in Shinno Castle?" Takeda Shingen asked lightly.

"This ...... According to Naito, the situation was not ideal, the enemy city was very strong, and the enemy troops were not afraid to die. If you want to take Xinye Castle under the control of casualties, it is unlikely that it will be in these two days. Muto Masayuki hesitated for a moment and replied respectfully.

"Hmm......" Shingen Takeda nodded, then looked at Masayuki Muto and asked, "Then do you have any good ideas?" ”

Hearing this, Muto Masayuki hurriedly said, "My lord, with the current situation, as long as the family fights steadily, even if it takes a long time, the final result will still not change in any way." But if you rush it, even if you can defeat the Imagawa family, there will still be the Matsudaira family of Mikawa behind. Moreover, according to the intelligence, the Mino Corps under Oda Nobunaga and the Ise Corps under Oda Yoshinobu still did not move, and the two corps together had at least 50,000 people, and if they were brought in early, it would not seem to be very beneficial to the family. ”

Hearing Muto Masayuki's words, Takeda Shingen suddenly burst out laughing, "Haha, Masayuki, do I look impatient?" After laughing, Takeda Shingen got up and walked slowly outside the tent, looked at Suwa Hara Castle in front of him and said with a solemn expression, "This battle is a war on a larger scale than the Onin Rebellion in the past, even if I am in a hurry, what is the use?" ”

"Lord......" Muto Masayuki looked at Takeda Shingen in disbelief, he had never seen his lord show such a look during the war.

"Hehe, it's okay, I'm just sighing." Takeda Shingen chuckled, "Tell Itami Yasunao to let the navy do a good job of Suruga vigilance, and you must not let your guard down, but don't be attacked by Oda Yoshinobu's kid." ”

"Yes!" Muto Masayuki hurriedly responded.

After Muto Masayuki left, Takeda Shingen turned his head again to look at Suwahara Castle in front of him, "So...... The only thing that can be done now is to wait for the situation to change. ”

High Tenjin Castle Castle Tower.

Although it was already night, the observation deck of the castle tower was still brightly lit, and Imagawa sat casually against the desk, looking intently at the sand table in front of him. That is the strategic sand table of Yuanjiang.

"Your Highness......" Hayakawa's gentle voice came, and then he walked over slowly, followed by a maid with a pot of hot tea.

"Your Highness, you have been resting so late every day recently, which is very bad for your health~ When the war is over, let Doctor Qu Naase help you diagnose and treat it." Hayakawa said softly.

"Haha~ I'm afraid I'll have to wait a long time~" Imagawa said with a smile.

Walked up to the Imagawa clan and sat down, looked at the sand table in front of him, and Hayakawa chuckled and asked, "What, have you figured out the next possible move of the Takeda family?" ”

Shaking his head, the Imagawa clan chuckled and said, "No, no matter what I think, it's impossible for the Takeda family to bypass the two castles of Kakegawa and Takatenjin. And it suddenly occurred to me that I'm afraid Takeda Shingen may not want to take down the family as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, Hayakawa was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and said, "Are you worried about Lord Oda and His Highness?" ”

"Not bad." Imagawa nodded and said, "No matter how conceited Takeda Shingen is, it is impossible not to ignore the possibility of Lord Oda and the lord joining the war. Especially Oda-sama, I'm afraid that Takeda Shingen didn't even dream that he would join the Enoe battlefield. ”

After a pause, Imagawa Shin said again, "What I'm thinking about now is what Takeda Shingen will do when Lord Oda and His Highness go to other battlefields. Although it seems to be a little early now, for a world-famous general like Takeda Shingen, it must not be taken lightly. ”

Hayakawa naturally understood Imagawa's words very well, so she didn't say much, but studied it with Imagawa. Although the Imagawa clan has been preparing for the attack of the Takeda family for a long time, this preparation is more only reflected in the construction of the castle, and the layout of the entire Yuanjiang front is not fully prepared.

I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of footsteps, and then I saw a little surnamed walking over with some excitement, "Your Highness, Lord Matsudaira has arrived outside the city with reinforcements!" ”

"Huh?" Imagawa was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at the sky outside, but it was still pitch black, "So fast?!" But then he stood up and said, "Go, take me to him!" ”

After a short time, Imagawa Shin came to the reception room, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Matsudaira Ieyasu and two retainers sitting in the room, none other than the two generals of the Matsudaira family, Sakai Tadaji and Okubo Tadashi.

"Matsudaira-sama! I didn't expect you to come so quickly! It's really ......" Imagawa really said with emotion, from the appearance of Matsudaira Ieyasu and the others, Imagawa really could guess that they must have hurried quickly overnight to be able to reach Takatenjin City in such a short time.

"Haha~ You're my brother, you're in danger, how can I still rush here slowly?" Matsudaira Ieyasu laughed. In a word, it is said that the Imagawa clan is really warm in his heart. Since the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto in battle and the death of Shou Guini, he can only feel a trace of family warmth in Hayakawa's body later. And today, he never imagined that he would experience it again in Matsudaira Ieyasu.

You must know that the relationship between the Imagawa family and Matsudaira Ieyasu is quite complicated, not to mention the little thing between him and Sena in the early years, just say that the Matsudaira family rebelled against the Imagawa family back then, which was almost caused by the Imagawa family. And after that, the relationship between Matsudaira Ieyasu and Imagawa Shin can also be said to be like fire and water.

So for Matsudaira Ieyasu's attitude, the Imagawa clan is really very surprised, although when he surrendered the Oda family, Matsudaira Ieyasu made a great effort, and also recognized him, but he never really regarded Matsudaira Ieyasu as a brother.

"Good brother!" Imagawa Shin walked up to Matsudaira Ieyasu and looked at him, and a thousand words finally turned into one sentence.

On this night, the Imagawa clan and Matsudaira Ieyasu had been studying the Yuanjiang defense line until dawn, and Matsudaira Ieyasu said goodbye to the Imagawa clan and led the army to Kakegawa Castle.

The news of the arrival of the Matsudaira army at Kakegawa Castle soon reached the ears of Takeda Shingen, who did not say anything about this, but only sent someone to tell Naito Masatoyo to fight steadily and steadily, and not to attack and cause too much damage to the troops.

Osaka Castle.

"Really? The Takeda family has begun to attack Suwahara Castle and Shinno Castle~" Oda Yoshinobu was lying on Achi's lap lazily, and with that look, he couldn't see that the forces he belonged to were being besieged by the most powerful forces in the world at this time.

"Yes! However, according to the intelligence, it seems that Takeda Shingen was not in a hurry to capture the two cities, but only surrounded the two cities, and did not continue to attack them. Ning Ning said respectfully, "In addition, last night, Lord Matsudaira had already arrived at High Heavenly God City. ”

"Oh? Ieyasu's kid is quite fast~" Oda Yoshinobu smiled when he heard this, "In this way, it seems that Yuanjiang won't be able to show me for the time being~"

"Lord, if you don't have to go into battle, it means that your family has gained advantages on various battlefields, that's a good thing~" Ning Ning said with a smile.

"It's a good thing~ but it's boring~" Oda Yoshinobu took a reluctantly puff on his cigar, "What is more depressing than when a great war broke out and I can only look at it?" ”
