When Uden Nagasho and Okabe Motoshin returned from the message, Imagawa Yoshimoto urgently convened a military meeting to discuss countermeasures, and before he could decide what to do, the bad news came that the Takeda Army had been wiped out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Imagawa Yoshimoto was shocked, he didn't know what to do.

Although Imagawa Yoshimoto initially felt that the situation was serious, he did not pay enough attention to it, and even mistakenly thought that it was an intentional exaggeration, but when more news came, he only felt a whirlwind sweeping over his body, and he sat in a position paralyzed and wanted to cry without tears.

He looked back and forth at the subordinates and staff members who were usually wise in their hands and the first in the world, but now they were all colorless, kneeling there one by one, dazed, not knowing how to deal with the situation in front of them, full of shock and fear.

Tokaido's Daiichi Yutori didn't expect that the slow Mino people would sell so quickly and ruthlessly. Yesterday his spies also reported that there was no movement in the city of Morsen, except that the two thousand hidden troops could not be found.

Now there was a big battle with the Takeda army stationed in the castle, and the mountain fire this morning has also proved to be the aftermath of this battle, and more and more information indicates that everything that should not have happened has happened.

Now, if someone mentions in person that the group of Suemori Castle is Mino people, if he doesn't beat the other party and can't take care of himself, he is not Imagawa Yoshimoto, not the first Yutori in Tokaido, and he beats the other party with a bow.

Mino and Owari have been entangled for many years, if the army of the Mino people is so strong that they can kill the Takeda army, which is at the forefront of the world, in one day, then where is Owari still Oda Nobuhide and Nobunaga, the father and son, to show off their might.

Besides, such a ferocious tactic, the ruthless method of killing almost all the enemies in a battle, is not something that the Mino people can do. In this way, it is natural for Imagawa Yoshimoto to think that the entry into Suemori Castle is far from being as simple as it seems, but is disguised by the Date people.

Look, much like the style of the Ita. Look, it's like the Battle of Tsuruga. The Date family came down in person, and they bewitched the Imagawa army in the costumes of the Mino people, and then took the lead before they were exposed, taking them by surprise and destroying the Takeda army.

Their arrival was announced with a great victory, an extraordinarily ferocious victory.

After Imagawa Yoshimoto calmed down, he began to face the reality and discuss countermeasures with his cronies and retainers. But they have clearly fallen into the trap, misled by the preconditions of a well-designed and painful failure, and cannot think of any good way to break the situation.

The strength shown by the Date army was too strong, the methods were too cruel and vicious, and the Takeda army, which was nearly 3,700 strong troops in the world, was wiped out in one battle, and this kind of strength, even if it relied on the advantage of numbers, Imagawa Yoshimoto did not have any confidence to fight again.

The more Imagawa Yoshimoto thought about it, the more annoyed he became, the severity of this matter had exceeded his imagination, and it was not something that his strength could contend with, he had to come up with a countermeasure as quickly as possible, otherwise the consequences would be very serious, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, "God bless Imagawa, what can I do!" ”

A close confidant came in and reported: "Imperial Palace, Okabe Tanba has returned." ”

The people in the conference room were in high spirits, and they didn't know when Okabe Motonobu had such a high status, and they had unconsciously climbed to the point where Imagawa Yoshimoto was the right-hand man, and what was even more terrifying was that it seemed to be a matter of course.

Imagawa Yoshimoto hurriedly said, "Why don't you invite Okabe Motoshin to come in." ”

Okabe Motonobu heard the news and walked into the conference room with heavy feet. He atoned for his sins tonight, and sold all his strength to get the news. In order to transfer the two Imagawa armies that contained him to the battlefield and become his scapegoat, Takeda Nobuyhiro once sent Shintoku to the chief of the Ubani Palace before the war. Uden Changzhao didn't dare to be good at it, and reported the news to Okabe Motonobu, who hesitated and did not follow up in time. If he had been able to respond in time at that time, the Takeda Army would not have been wiped out.

Now that the Takeda Army has been wiped out, not to mention how to explain to the Takeda family, it is unknown how to survive the current crisis. Looking at Okabe Motonobu's decadent appearance, Imagawa Yoshimoto asked urgently, "What is the specific situation?" "Until now, Imagawa Yoshimoto only knew one result, not the specific situation.

Okabe Motoshin hesitated for a moment, and saw that Imagawa Yoshimoto was a little impatient, so he replied: "According to the remnants of the fleeing Takeda Army, the Takeda Army was completely annihilated, and Takeda Nobushihiro, Baba Nobuharu and other generals were either killed or captured, and none of them were spared!" ”

In this way, he told what he saw and heard 1510, thousands of people died in battle on the banks of the Yasaki River, corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers, which was unbearable to see. It was a strong army for the rest of the battle, and Takeda Haru trusted the rampant guarantee, so he was wiped out. In fact, there are more than 800 people who have successfully broken through, and even if they know, they can't change everyone's first impression.

Imagawa Yoshimoto's face froze, although this news was expected, but he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it again, and after the shock, he was deeply afraid, and he asked eagerly: "How many times is the Date Army dispatched, and how much is left?" This is the focus of his attention, the general's immediate death is something that no one can predict, although it is troublesome, but as long as there is a common enemy, no matter how angry Takeda Harunobu is, he will not dare to completely turn his face with him, which he is still confident. If both sides were defeated, the Date army would also suffer heavy losses, so there might be hope for victory. Otherwise, the outlook will be dark.

However, the more he feared something, the faster it came.

Okabe Motonobu replied with a hint of fear: "The situation is not optimistic, according to the remnants of the army, the enemy army is ghostly, first set fire to the mountain, and after the Takeda army is exhausted, it is surrounded by regiments on the Yasakugawa River beach, and then the whole army is annihilated, so the price paid by the other party is not more than one percent." The situation in Morsen City also shows that their losses are indeed not very good. ”

The heavy responsibilities present are all old in the war, how can they not understand? The look is also even more terrifying, and the fact that they have won such a big victory at such a small price can be seen how strong the army of Mosen City is, which is what makes them terrifying.

Okabe Motonobu looked at the stunned Imagawa Yoshimoto, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "My lord, more than 3,700 people in the Takeda army were wiped out, but the enemy army suffered little losses. ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto took a deep breath, he had no choice at all, the so-called Saito army in Suemori Castle was too strong, and he wiped out the Takeda army with his own strength, and this kind of strength on the battlefield is the key to determining the victory or defeat of the battlefield.

Of course, Imagawa Yoshimoto is not without the power to fight back. As long as he uses human lives at any cost, he can also pile up death, but in this way, even if he defeats the opponent, he is too weak to move. You must know that there is also Oda Nobunaga of Narumi Castle looking at them with fierce eyes, and at the same time, Takeda Harunobu is hard to guarantee that he will not take advantage of his weakness to take revenge.

Therefore, Imagawa Yoshimoto pondered for a long time, and it was difficult to make a decision, and the meaning of Okabe Motoshin's words was already very obvious, and the meaning of withdrawing troops was about to come out. However, it is really difficult to make him make a decision, and this is another difficult decision.

Okabe Motoshin reluctantly squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said solemnly: "Lord, I am afraid that things will change, once the application is irretrievable, it will be a situation where the jade will be burned, and please make a decision quickly, maybe there is a chance to return the hand?!" ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto said "um", he didn't know the confidence of Okabe Motonobu, but now he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

The next day, Motonobu Okabe and Uden Nagasho withdrew their troops from the Inoya Valley and Kagagawa Ferries, respectively, and returned to Kariya Castle.

In the middle of the night, there was not a trace of starry light in the sky obscured by music. In the direction of Kariya Castle, a fiery dragon composed of countless torches lit up and meandered out of Kariya Castle. Quickly rushed towards Okazaki Castle, and at the same time as the light dragon left, Kariya Castle fell into darkness.

The spies who are always paying attention to the movements of Kariya Castle are rioting, and the Imagawa army is fleeing?!

The first to be alarmed was Matsudaira Ieyasu of Ogawa Castle, and when he heard this, he put on his robe and rushed out directly, looking at Kariya Castle, which had merged into the night, and the light dragon that took away all the lights in Kariya Castle, his heart was full of doubts.

At this moment, the gate of Ogawa Castle was alarmed, and Kiyocho Naito suddenly hurried in with a pale face, and reported: "Young master, please don't be shocked, Takeda Nobuyoshi was killed." ”

Matsudaira Ieyasu couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while, and asked suspiciously, "Really?" ”

Naito Kiyocho nodded and said: "This matter is certain, I heard that the Saito army has carried the head of Takeda Nobuyoshi, and the horse has withdrawn to Suemori Castle, this is what the person who came to report saw with his own eyes, there will be no fake, the area around the Yasaki River, which has become a sea of blood, and Takeda's four thousand troops have all been killed." ”

Matsudaira Ieyasu asked urgently, "It's unbelievable, but what about Kariya Castle?" ”

Kiyoshi Naito replied: "That's what I'm here for. The Saito Army annihilated the Takeda Army, and it is impossible to defeat the Takeda Army simply according to the strength of the Saito Army, so it can be assumed. According to Oda Nobunaga's temper, tonight or early tomorrow morning, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack Kariya Castle. Kariya Castle is ruined, so you can understand the choice of the Imagawa army. ”

Matsudaira Ieyasu spent all his time in Sunfu from the age of eight to seventeen, and as a hostage, he had to understand the thoughts and actions of Imagawa Yoshimoto, so to speak, every bit and every bit, and in order to survive, he would do whatever it took to come out. Guessing the intention of Imagawa Yoshimoto's every action and every sentence has been thinking about Matsudaira Ieyasu every moment for nearly ten years. It can be said that the person who knows Imagawa Yoshimoto best is not himself, but Matsudaira Ieyasu, who has been observing him all the time.

After listening to Naito Kiyonaga's analysis, Matsudaira Ieyasu jumped up all of a sudden, lying on the castle tower and looking at Kariya Castle, where all the lights were extinguished, he shook his head vigorously and muttered in a low voice: "I know, I know, the solution is good, if you want to deceive me, there is no way." ”

If you are not familiar with Imagawa Yoshimoto's code of conduct, you will be the first to notice the anomaly of Kariya Castle. Lighting a torch and leaving, and extinguishing all the lights in Kariya Castle, isn't this a loud announcement that he wants to flee? How can there be such a retreat, maybe Imagawa Yoshimoto is still lurking in the dark, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.

Matsudaira Ieyasu thought he knew Imagawa Yoshimoto well, but he couldn't do it, and after nearly ten years of observation, he deeply realized this. Imagawa Yoshimoto can't do it, he understands the truth that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, this is an elegant speech, in fact, it is a pity for life.

Okazaki Castle is strong, Kariya Castle is ruined, everyone understands this truth? Then Imagawa Yoshimoto's first reaction after learning the bad news of the destruction of the Takeda Army was not to avenge the Takeda Army, but to immediately withdraw from Kariya Castle and return to Okazaki Castle.

Matsudaira Ieyasu closed his eyes tightly at this time, even his lips were tightly closed, nearly ten years of hostage life, if it weren't for the sudden change in Mikawa, he felt the killing intent of Imagawa Yoshimoto, he would not have escaped from the cage. It is not difficult to guess in Imagawa Yoshimoto's mind that Oda Nobunaga will not hesitate to swallow Kariya Castle tomorrow after learning the details of Kariya Castle.

In short, Ogawa Castle is a desperate situation with no way out, and today's Matsudaira Ieyasu and Okazaki people are trapped in this desperate situation. Matsudaira Ieyasu opened his eyes and said firmly: "If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed." Take Kariya Castle, Daddy Yajiemon, and go to Suemori Castle early tomorrow morning, we need to find a high-sounding reason. ”

Kiyocho Naito bowed slightly, seizing Kariya Castle is to snatch food from Oda Nobunaga's mouth, which is very dangerous. Imagawa Yoshimoto's withdrawal from Kariya Castle means that he is no longer able to launch a westward war, so the next step is to fight for Mikawa Province.

Matsudaira Ieyasu thought of hugging his thighs, who has the thickest legs in this big drama, there is no doubt that it is the Date family, only with the support of the Date family, the Matsudaira family can regain a foothold in Mikawa Province and survive and grow between Oda Nobunaga and Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Matsudaira Ieyasu believed that a powerful Oda family was something that the Date family did not want to see, and it became inevitable to mix sand in the Oda family's sphere of influence, but even the troops had to be sent in the name of the Mino Saito family, and they would not personally play in a short time, so the Matsudaira family would have a chance to survive.

Matsudaira Ieyasu was ready to set out, but the first to be dispatched was the cavalry as scouts, and Honda Heihachiro led three or four horsemen to gallop in the night, and their riding skills were good, and soon they arrived at the outskirts of Kariya Castle, and the gate was open. Honda Heihachiro was very bold, he searched Kariya Castle, found no movement, and immediately returned to Ogawa Castle to report the situation.

Sure enough, as he expected, Kariya Castle was empty.

At this moment, in the warehouse on the ground floor of Kariya Castle, Okabe Motonobu moved his mouth and said, "It should be a scout, everyone don't make a sound, wait for the enemy's brigade." (To be continued.) )
