After Natsume Goro Saemon went out, Tokugawa Ieyasu stood up from the table and wandered around the bonfire. ≥ From time to time, insects rushed into the fire, and insects were heard intermittently. Stars flashed in the night sky.

Previously, the Tokugawa family had been taking advantage of the Takeda family's retreat. The Imakawa family had no time to deal with it, and took the opportunity to seize the Imakawa family's territory seized by the Takeda family in the Sankawa area. Now, the situation has changed. Once the Tokugawa family actively joined forces with the Ouphime family to seize Nagashi Castle, it would be equivalent to the Tokugawa family's proactive provocation of the Takeda family. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu has confirmed that Takeda Shingen is dead and the Takeda family is gradually withdrawing from the Sankawa and the Tokugawa area, it is difficult to ensure that the Takeda family will not be angry because of this and thus deal with the Tokugawa family. Therefore, Tokugawa Ieyasu hesitated at this time.

After Tadaeyoshi Taikubo came back, Tokugawa Ieyasu was still thinking hard: "Taeyoshi Taikubo, what would you do if it were you?"

"What's the matter?"

"Would you take advantage of the situation to attack Nagashino Castle, or temporarily withdraw from Okazaki, and wait for the Takeda family to retreat from Nagashino Castle before sending troops to rob?"

"It's over here, why are you talking about retreating?" Tadao Tokubo slapped the handle of the sword.

Tokugawa Ieyasu stared at Tadaeyo Tokubo and sat down on the bed.

Seeing this, Tadaeyoshi Taikubo immediately asked: "The lord just said in person that he was waiting for the opportunity to attack Nagashi. Isn't this opportunity here? If he evacuated, it is hard to guarantee that there will be an accident."

"No," Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded.

"It's a great time." Tadae Tokubo emphasized again.

Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled and said, "Oh, now is a good opportunity?" Although he was still not relieved of Opi Misato, he did not doubt Opi's loyalty.

Although the Takeda family's army has begun to gradually evacuate from the Sanhe and Toru River areas, Takeda Katsurai retreated his army to the Nagashino Castle area. He just didn't want Tokugawa Ieyaya to take away Nagashino Castle. Tokugawa Ieyaya vaguely felt that Takeda's retainers, including Masaji Tokugawa, Kamiyaki Kamikatashi, etc., led by Takeda Nobuyoshi, may easily see through the strategy made by Okaimi and immediately slaughter the Aoping family's workplace cast, and then quickly cut off the connection between the Tokugawa Ieya and Guan Aoping family. Although he trusted Okaimi's character, he was worried about the Takeda family's strength.

"Zhongshi, what do you think of Opingmi?"

"The lord's words are so strange. The key to attacking Nagashi is how to control the three groups of the Shan family? For this reason, you even Miss Agui..."

"Wait, don't mention this." Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled bitterly, "I'm asking you, if he is the inner person, if he is the one who is responsible for giving up Nagashino Castle, but when the nearby Takeda army discovers and attacks Nagashino Castle, will he have the ability to block Takeda army and allow the family to arrive at Nagashino Castle?"

"That's even more puzzling." Tadaese of Taikubo deliberately frowned, "If the lord believes that he does not have such ability, why give him the affidavit again?"

"Oh. Then do you think he has this ability?"

"The key is not strategy, but human nature."

"Oh. Meizu is trustworthy."

"Since I trust him, I should seize the opportunity. According to the envoy, Mizuho deliberately sent people to spread news that he had a strange intention towards the Takeda family. He attracted the enemy's attention to the Saoshi Castle where his city is located, thereby restraining the Takeda family's army. The lord can take this opportunity to quickly capture Nagashino Castle and strengthen his defense... This is how I understand it."

"What you say is not bad." Tokugawa Ieyasu said, as if he suddenly remembered something, looked up at the moon, and stood up. Under the moonlight, Yulian, Mingshen, Shirakura and other mountains were like dreams. "The next two days will determine the outcome."

"The battle will become more and more intense."

"You just said you want to seize the opportunity. Tadaese, I want to have a good sleep. Go to Sakai Saemon Takaji and Matsuhei Ueno Sukiyatsu Yasuitaki and tell them that I will come to the front of the formation at dawn to boost morale."

"I understand." Tadase Tokubo patted his knees and nodded.

"A beautiful moonlit night." Tokugawa Ieyasu slowly walked back to the tent...

In the early morning of the next day, thick fog was filled with people, houses, trees and valleys seemed to be covered with milky white gauze, and war horses were neighing from time to time in the fog. This is the Zhushou City in the northwest of Nagashiko.

Aopi Jungnuen, who was used to getting up early, had already come to the courtyard of Saopa City and plays a gun. Half a year ago, the voluntary surrender of his ally Guan Su family, the Aopi Jungami family, who lost the support of his allies, was occupied by Takeda Shingen, and Aopi Jungnuen was forced to surrender. It was a great shame for this stubborn samurai who grew up in the mountain city. Aopi Jungnuen had a short figure, but his shoulders were wide and his chest was raised, and he looked very strong, and his long eyebrows seemed to have a layer of frost. He roared, held the gun into the sky, and took it back with a flash of lightning.

"Report!"

"What's the matter? If you eat and wash, let's talk about it later. My morning exercise is not over yet."

"Natsume Goro Saemon asked for a meeting."

"Gorozuo? Let him come here."

Okai Satoshi said, but he didn't mean to stop. Goro Saemon came soon after. Seeing Misaki practicing guns, he walked straight into the courtyard. Taking off yesterday's casual clothes, Goro Zuo, in military uniform, looked energetic, even more energetic than Misaki. "Lord, I'm back in Hei'an."

"That's natural. If my retainers can't come and go freely in this area, what else can they do? How about it, have you received the affidavit from Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu?"

"Please see." Goro knelt on one knee and took out the affidavit. Okai Misato stopped, "Oh, marry the lady and offer the territory of 3,000 guan. It's very refreshing."

"Yes. He said that the loyalty and righteousness of Meitu must be returned."

"Oh? Loyalty?"

A smile finally appeared on Aopi Satomi, "Goro Saemon, this is not Tadaoyi, this is backbone."

"backbone?"

"Speak quietly. This is the first time in my life that I bow my head to others and surrender to the Takeda family. It's a shame! Do you understand? I can't let my descendants be shamed. It's so good. If you marry the daughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu, you can't be considered a retainer. I became Tokugawa Ieyasu's in-laws. For this, I have to fight bravely to avenge the shame, even a little bit." Okaimi said while putting the affidavit in his pocket. His face twitched and his eyes narrowed.

"The moment of my bloody battle on the battlefield has finally arrived." After Goro Saemon left, Misato Ohira suddenly corrected his posture and bowed to the sky three times. People would definitely say that Ohira and his son defected to Tokugawa Ieyasu. Let others comment! Once Tokugawa Ieyasu's only daughter Agui, Agui, came in, whether people think this is a marriage or detained hostages from the Tokugawa family, the Ohira family and Tokugawa family have been closely linked.

"The next thing is the key." Ohira Misaru Satomi put away his spear, walked around the corridor, and walked towards the room of Ohira Satomasa, the son who was about to become the son-in-law of the Tokugawa family.
