The true Imagawa clan, the 12-generation Patriarch of the Suruga Imagawa clan.

Hojo's Yasushi, the third-generation owner of the Sagami Hojo family.

Nobutora Takeda, the eighteenth generation head of the Kai Takeda family.

A letter from this person was placed in front of Takeda Shingen and Takeda Shinshige.

Each of these people is a person in the world today or in the past, and has a very close relationship with the Takeda family, and has sufficient voice and influence on the internal affairs of the Takeda family.

Nobuhiro Takeda first said to Shingen Takeda: "Since the alliance of Zentoku Temple, the three kingdoms of Jia Sangjun have formed an alliance. Over the past ten years, Imagawa's family has been committed to the Three Rivers, and Shangluo was defeated before it was successful. On the other hand, the Hojo family and my Takeda family are getting stronger and stronger. In recent years, I have been taking Hojo and I have been using Kanto, relying on each other, and the two families are in harmony. However, Echigo Kametsugi's influence in Kanto has not been as good as three years. When I went to Odawara, I couldn't actually mobilize other than the title of Dongguan leader, the big and small families of Kanto. When Uesugi went to the front, I was the only one who was able to contend for Kanto."

Pointing to these three letters, Takeda Shingen said to Nobuyuki Takeda: "When I met Zentoku Temple, Yoshimoto had already passed away in the three people who were there, and Kanto was the only one in Kanto that rivaled the forces of Kashingen. His ambition was to unify the Kanto, and to reproduce the spirit of the Hojo clan in Kamakura at the time when he was in Kamakura. However, the Kanto was not allowed to Gyeonggi, and had no force, but could not give orders to the world. Once the Hojo clan unified the eight prefectures, he would go to Shangluo again. The brunt is me Takeda, Imagawa."

When Shingen Takeda remembered the Zentoku Temple Union, Hojo's Yasu left a deep impression on him.

There was a striking cross-shaped scar on the man's face. This scar was the result of the injury that Hojo Shiyasu personally broke into the Sakubo formation where Uesugi Kensei, the former Kanto governor, was in the Kawagoshi Night War.

After that, all Hojo retainers called this scar "Shikang Zhan".

At that time, Shingen Takeda had a foreboding that this tough and determined man would have a battle with him in the future.

Nobuya Takeda nodded his head and said, "The family leader, who has retired five years ago, passed the family superintendent to the second son, the family leader. The family leader is your brother-in-law and your son-in-law, so he came to ask me about the Takeda family's family affairs. Act of."

Takeda Shingen unfolds Hojo’s letter paper. The words on Hojo’s Yasushi are still very polite and polite. He declares that Hojo should not be involved in the family affairs of the Takeda family, but they belong to the alliance and are relatives of marriage. sentence.

The Hojo clan under the Kamakura shogunate in the past issued a decree, hoping that all samurai would obey the eldest son's accession to the throne, and there should be no change. He also claimed that when the two Takeda Hojo two families were besieging Matsuyama Castle, Hojo's Yasushi had seen Takeda Yoshinobu, and felt that his character was honest, his demeanor was calm, and he really had the demeanor of the owner.

Therefore, I hope Takeda Shingen will seriously consider not letting the tragedy of the Aurora Rebellion be repeated at home.

Hojo's opinion is fairly gentle. The letter only says that he hopes Takeda Yoshinobu will ascend to the throne. In contrast, the true attitude of the Imagawa family leader, Imagawa, is undoubtedly much more aggressive.

And it was the letter from the Imagawa clan that made Takeda Shingen really unhappy.

Shingen Takeda picked up the true letter of Imagawa, and threw it on the ground with a hum, saying: "Imakawa is true, not as good as Yoshimoto."

"When Yiyuan Gong was in the past, Taiyuan Xuezhai monk made suggestions, and there was a visionary like Gui Shouni behind the scenes. That's why the foundation of the three kingdoms of Suruga, Yuanjiang, and Three Rivers was created. Today, Taiyuan Xuezhai passed away, And Gui Shouni is very old, and he is sick on a bed and cannot be a director. Imagawa's family has plummeted since Imakawa really took control."

Nobuhiro Takeda sighed: "Unexpectedly, the famous Jinchuan family in the past has no one to succeed today. The Yuanjiang people's anti-turmoil has not yet subsided. The Songping family has risen, and now it has unified the Sanhe, and is looking at the Yuanjiang. There is nothing left, people of all sizes in Yuanjiang are unwilling to return, and at this moment, the Jinchuan family really does not want to calm down the rebellious officials, stabilize the family, and even deliberately intervene in the inheritance of my Takeda family. It is really mediocre."

After a pause, Nobuhiro Takeda said again: "It is quite extraordinary that Matsuhira Ieyasu, the head of the Matsuhira clan, is supported by the Owari Oda clan behind him. I think that if he let it go, Suruga might be in the hands of the Matsuhira clan in the future. If not restricted by the covenant, instead of my Takeda family fighting the Uesugi family in the north for more than ten years, and no victory, it would be better to go south and swallow Suruga, but it would be a way out to open up the coast."

Shingen Takeda listened to Takeda Nobuhiro's comments, his eyes flashed, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Before the victory and defeat with Uesugi Terutora, it is meaningless to say that these are meaningless. Right now Imagawa really holds the reason for marrying Yoshinobu with his sister. I asked why I neglected Yoshinobu and gave Shiro the power of the army. The words in the letter were rather rude, even when Yoshimoto was still there, he did not dare to be so arrogant when he wrote to me."

Nobuhiro Takeda pondered for a while and said, "Imagawa's words are not without basis. In the Jiaxiangjun alliance, the purpose of Yoshimoto's marriage to my Takeda family was that Yoshinobu could inherit his brother's future home governor. The position. If Yoshinobu cannot inherit the family superintendent, then the alliance between the Takeda family and the Imagawa family will lose its effectiveness."

“That’s why Imagawa’s family supported Yoshinobu and hurriedly intervened in the affairs of my Takeda family,” Shingen Takeda raised his voice by eight degrees. Let this defiant Imagawa clan let him know how powerful my Jiashin Legion is."

Nobuyuki Takeda rushed to persuade him: "Brother, don't be upset. The family affairs of my Takeda family are not the affairs of my Takeda clan. It is related to the hundreds of thousands of people in Kashin, even Kasangjun Three Kingdoms Alliance, and even the entire Kanto situation. Change is inappropriate if it is said to be unobtrusive."

"And my father, Mr. Shiyao, and Imagawa's influence of these three people are not only important for the Takeda family, but also for the entire Kanto, so please be cautious."

Takeda Shingen calmed down the anger in his chest, and then looked at Takeda Shinto and said: "Jiro, you have retired and entered the Tao. Now it is your position in this family, and it is not involved. Moreover, you are a member of my Takeda family. The important officials in the family have always been convinced of you. What is your opinion on this matter?"

Nobuhiro Takeda smiled bitterly. His position is not the same. His two sons, the lord of Komoro Castle, Nobuyoshi Takeda, are now a rider under Katsuyori Takeda. Moreover, the two cousins ​​are usually in the best relationship. Now Takeda Nobuyuki Takeda Katsuyoshi is the only one who takes care of all the affairs of Feng Basic.

As for Gaoji Mochizuki, Kasaburo Mochizuki Nobuyuki, friendship with Takeda Katsuyoshi is also good.

In the future, if Takeda Katsuyoshi breaks with Takeda Yoshinobu, these two sons are likely to stand by Takeda Katsuyoshi's side without intervening.

Takeda Nobuhira thought for a while, and said, "Brother, in my opinion, whether you lean towards Yoshinobu or Katsuyoshi, please make a decision early. In this battle for world supremacy, if the Takeda family staged another scene of the Yukawa Rebellion, It's the subjugation of the country."

Hearing the words subjugation and clan, Takeda Shingen's body shook slightly.

Shingen Takeda pondered for a while, and said, "Take me to think about it."

After speaking, Shingen Takeda turned to sit cross-legged, as if using the Linji school to practice Zen, closing his eyes and meditating.

Quietly, a shower of rain had fallen outside the window.

A cup of sandalwood lingered in the room, and the two brothers Xin Xuan and Xin Fan were silent, sitting opposite each other.

After a long time, Shingen Takeda opened his eyes and made a decision in his chest.

At the same time, in Shinano.

The rain that fell suddenly splashed on Lake Suwa like jumping beads.

Takeda Katsurai and the others are in a farmhouse, sheltering from the rain temporarily.

When the local farmer heard that the local lord had come in person, he immediately knelt down with a thump, and then drove his wife and daughter out of the house, leaving an empty house for the samurai Takeda Katsuyori and his team to rest.

From the farmhouse, Takeda Katsura looked out over the mountains beside Lake Suwa, which were particularly hazy due to heavy rain.

The black cloud rolled heavily and pressed heavily on the mountains next to Lake Suwa.

It feels very gloomy.

Knowing that Takeda Shintora, Hojo Clan Yasushi, and Imagawa Clan together, expressed support for Takeda Yoshinobu to Takeda Shingen, all the people in the house looked solemn.

Masayuki Sanada said: "On the surface, this matter was provoked by the husband. Contacting Imagawa, the Hojo family proposed to the husband together, but there is actually a trace of it. According to our ninja information, it has been more than a year since , The old master is in Kyoto, serving as the shogunate, serving around the Gongfangdian, and has been living in the Sanjo family. During this period, according to secret investigations by the ninjas, the mother of His Royal Highness Yoshinobu, Mrs. Sanjo and his mother's Sanjo family frequently corresponded in letters It can be seen that His Highness Yixin spoke to the old man through Mrs. Sanjo."

"Not to mention the Imagawa family. The main room of His Highness Yixin is the sister of the current Imagawa Patriarch. Letters between the two sides are more frequent. Therefore, it is easy for His Highness Yixin to contact the Imagawa family. As for the Hojo family, it may be the Imagawa family. A request, or a request made by Mrs. Sanjo, to the Hojo clan by marrying the daughter of the Hojo clan's governor, Masa, Hojo."

"It may not be ~lightnovelpub.net~ Sanada Kotaka said, "Hojo's Yasushi is a foresighted person, and he will not make judgments without consideration just because of a few words from others. This letter he wrote must be out of consideration for the Hojo family. He is more likely to be unwilling to see the hero who is brave and good at fighting, instead of replacing His Highness Yoshinobu, succeeding the Takeda family’s governor, to the future Hojo family, he The son of Zhenggong poses a threat. "

Takeda Katsuyori shook his head and said, "Now it’s meaningless to discuss these things. Grandfather, Imagawa’s Masayoshi, Hojo’s Yasushi, and my brother’s skills this time are really amazing. I can actually invite these three people to talk for him. , I think my father, this time...this time I am afraid I will give in."

When Takeda Katsuyoshi said this, he felt helpless.

And the people in the room also felt the hesitation and helplessness of Shengli's mood at the moment, and suddenly they were silent.

Since on the battlefield, Katsuyori Takeda faces the siege of the Ten Thousand Army, he will not show such a trap, but he is helpless when it comes to political disputes.

At this time, Takeda Katsuyoshi looked at Sanada Yukatsu and asked, "Ichitokusai-sama, what countermeasures do you have to solve my troubles?"
