Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Takeda's Fall

When Takeda Katsuyori saw his wife and child sitting together, he couldn't help looking at the crowd angrily. At this time, there was a person who felt that he was the most miserable and miserable. He even wanted to find someone to scold him, but he lost his confidence. This person was the child's father Shoji Tsuchiya.I'm afraid Katsuyori must also want to scold his wife and Shoji's son.However, he didn't even dare to think about what would happen after cursing—how did I become such a person... Although he knew it would be difficult to suppress, Shenglai still kept suppressing his anger to the bottom of his heart. Now he feels that his wife and retainers are so boring. Maybe it's not tiredness, but everything in this world is stretching out his rebellious spirit towards him. claw.

It will be troublesome if this continues... Changji strode up to his son who was sitting next to his wife. "Koshiro, you are also the son of a samurai, right?" The five-year-old son was taken aback, looked up at his father, and at the bouquet of violets given by his wife. "Son of a samurai, isn't it?" "right." "Father is relieved when you say that. You are still young and walk slowly. I am afraid that you will not be able to walk to the underworld with everyone. You should go ahead." "..." "Understood, go to the intersection of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and wait for the Lord to arrive there. Come on, go to the west and worship Buddha." As he said, he suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist, and stared at it in a daze, even crying. The chest of the forgotten son was stabbed.

"Ah..." Mrs. Odawara, the child's mother, the woman sitting next to her, and the angry Katsuyori who was a little further away were all out of breath in surprise. "There is no Amitabha Buddha!" Changji seemed to be crazy, and spun the dagger in the child's chest again.The child was silent, only the little hands were violently convulsing in the air.Shoji gripped the dagger tightly, and then the child stopped moving. "My lord!" Changji put the child's body in front of Katsurai, "Already... Already, it's time." Katsurai staggered and fell heavily to the ground.The child's mother fell to the ground with a cry, and the women came back to their senses at this moment and covered their faces one after another.The warm sunlight was still lazily shining on the ground, making the scene just now seem like a dream.

"Father, it's time to make a decision." After a long time, Taro Nobukatsu called out to his father, but Katsuyori just looked blankly at the top of Tianmu Mountain. At some point, Mrs. Odawara sat up from the grass. She took out a piece of paper from the letter box and held it in her hand.No one noticed that she had brought these things with her, but her fair forehead was facing the glare of the sun, her eyes were narrowed into a line, and the pen in her hand was fluttering.After finishing writing, the lady put the paper on the child's body and beckoned to the child's mother.

〖The spirit of spring has disappeared, and the prosperity has fallen. The flowers on the branches are thanked first, and my heart is sad. 〗 After Masahiro's wife finished reading, she sobbed again.There was a commotion in the crowd.There is no choice but to die.After listening to the lady's poems, this group of desolate people suddenly realized their tragic fate, and they all became agitated.After a while, people returned to calm, no, it should be said to be silent. Everyone saw that Shoji's wife, who was crying bitterly, raised her head, took out a piece of paper from her pocket, and wrote something angrily.She probably wasn't in the mood to return a poem to Madam.Even so, in this group of refugees who were chased and fled everywhere, there are still some people who are willing to decorate death.

Changji's wife respectfully handed the waka to his wife.The madam's face was as pale as wax. She took the paper and read slowly: "What is this life, wait for the flowers to bloom before withering, the empty branches and leaves are still incomplete... What is this life, wait for the flowers to bloom..." Repeatedly The voice of the chanting is no longer the voice of a miserable person at the end of the road, but a grief that moves the heavens and the earth, piercing into the heart, the earth, the sky, and the vegetation. When the voice paused, Katsurai seemed to bounce off the ground, stood up abruptly, and walked in front of his wife a few steps. "Don't you want to go back?"

"Where?" "Sagami, your natal family." "I am Takeda Katsuyori's wife." The lady's voice seemed to be singing, "I have already obtained happiness." "This... This is definitely not your sincere words." Katsurai blushed anxiously, "How can there be such a person who does not love his hometown? How can there be such a person who does not miss his parents?" Madam smiled, and it seemed that there was nostalgia for her hometown and longing for her parents in her smile. Then, she nodded and said, "However, the happiness of being close to my husband surpasses all thoughts."

Katsurai couldn't help turning his face away, and the clear cry of the oriole came from the valley and spread throughout the depths of the forest. "Taro!" Shouting, Katsuyori called out to his son excitedly. "Takeda Katsuyori lived freely for thirty-seven years." "Father, what do you mean..." "Don't ask, just keep your mouth shut and listen... Even if I die here, I will never regret it. It's just, you and your wife..." "Father!" "Poor... Sigh! Especially you, who are still young and haven't inherited the Takeda family's great cause as your grandfather entrusted, so you are separated like this..."

"Father!" Taro screamed again, "Father don't worry about Taro's affairs. Although the morning glory only has one morning's life, even in such a short period of time, it can bloom as much as it wants." Then, his expression suddenly became serious, and he chanted: 〖Early flowers wither, why sigh, After all, it fell into the late spring. 〗 Taro's poems are exactly the same as his wife's virginal words.It is a clear proof that Shenglai and his son have returned to rationality and aroused a broad mind, and it indicates where Shenglai and his son will go.

After listening to Taro's poem, Katsuyori's voice slowed down: "After I understand the thoughts of you and your wife when you were young, I don't have anything to worry about... madam!" He looked back at his young wife again: "You Do you also choose this place as a place to return to?" "Yes, I am willing to accompany you happily." "Oh... After arriving in that world, there will be no more wars that you hate. Let us husband and wife live in harmony and be in harmony with each other." "Yes, my lord's determination... I am very happy."

"Changji, I entrust you with my wife's fault. My wife has already opened the "Lotus Sutra". When she came out of the new city, she was already as calm as water... She already knew that today would come..." Sure enough, two pieces of song paper had been placed in front of the lady, and she was holding a rosary and a scroll in her hand.Written on the two song papers are: 〖I want to entrust this heart to the geese, and follow you to the south of Sagami. From then on, I put aside the mundane affairs, and it is difficult to accept the love of my loving mother. On the high mountains, the flowers are full of paths, and it is not a pity to fall one after another. The heart is bound to the loess, and I sing freely on the branch of the delicate warbler. 〗 Needless to say, Madam's heart often flew back to her hometown, but she never thought about going back to her hometown.No matter what happens, she doesn't want to stop yearning for her husband in this life.No, from the moment she left the new city, all her hopes had been how to bring her beloved husband to that trouble-free world.In that world where there is no war, no politics, no conspiracy, and no righteousness, her heart can fly freely without any constraints, and she doesn't have to confide her nostalgia to her brother.She's not just sad, but also a little triumphant. "Then, this subordinate will take orders." Masao Tsuchiya drew out his sword and turned behind his wife. "I'll take a step first." Suddenly, a young woman's voice came from behind Changji.It's Mrs. Ateng, the maid.With a short knife stuck in her heart, she sang with all her strength: "...No one knows the flowers bloom...the flowers fade in late spring." The lady who had already placed the scriptures and untied the dagger picked up the scriptures again, and quickly unfolded them in the direction of Ateng. "A Teng, do you want to go with me too?" "lady……" "Thank you. May you be happy in that world." After finishing speaking, the lady turned to Shoji, "Then, please." After finishing speaking, she threw the scabbard aside. Katsurai stood there with his eyes wide open, silently looking at the calm wife.The maid Ateng suddenly fell to the ground.Mrs. Odawara glanced at Ateng's body, and then shifted her gaze to her husband.There was still no trace of sadness in her eyes, they were still pure and pure.She firmly believed that her husband would follow. The dagger shone brightly in the bright sun. The sun has slanted to the west, and it is already late spring, and the sky on the plateau is full of sunset glow.There was a happy smile on the corner of the lady's mouth. "Please……" Changji picked up the big knife, turned behind his wife, and raised it quickly.However, for some reason, he suddenly staggered and his body shook.Changji, who knew the doomsday was coming and killed his son first, looked at the calm wife, but couldn't find a place to cut the knife. The wife is simply an incredible icon.Changji held a big knife in his hand and fell to the ground with his buttocks. "Changji, what's wrong with you?" Changji didn't answer, but burst into tears.He didn't know why, but his arms were numb and his legs were weak. "Stop rambling, hurry up..." Madam's clear voice urged again. "My lord, I... I... Changji can't do Madam's fault." "Can't do it?" It wasn't Katsurai who stood still, but the lady with a crisp voice, "Then, I'll do it myself." "Ah..." Katsurai fell to the ground suddenly. The lady raised the shining short knife, swallowed the tip of the knife, leaned forward, and fell to the ground.Katsurai crazily knelt and crawled to his wife's side, but he couldn't hold her up no matter what, his hands had no strength at all, and his shoulders were also convulsing violently. Katsurai groaned in a low voice, the grass under his body was already dyed red, not long after, he turned his face away, hugged his wife's shoulders tightly with both hands, let out a loud cry, and hurriedly covered his wife with blood and blood with his sleeves covered his face. "Holy dying... even a military commander can't compare to it. Katsuyori will follow you." At this time, the lady's body was heavily pressed against Katsurai's arm, and she stopped breathing.The cries of the women shook the earth. Holding the dead wife's body, Katsurai fell into a daze again and almost forgot to stand up. "Ah, it seems that someone is coming." Akiyama Kiimori and Ohara Shimosou stood up full of hatred and ran to the west.Under the bright sunset before nightfall, there was the rumble of beating gongs and big drums.Then, the women imitated their wife and committed suicide. Before long, the sun went down. A little farther away from the grass, there is a magnolia tree, which is full of clusters of charming flowers. Bright and eye-catching flowers will come into view, probably because the surroundings have darkened.At some point, there was no one around Katsuyori.The Tsuchiya brothers yelled "the enemy is coming" and rushed towards the enemy. Changban Diaoxian and Taro Nobukatsu had already killed themselves in the grass on the right. No woman is alive, and there are many corpses everywhere. They all ended their lives so easily. "I will never let the enemy get close to the lord. Please end it quickly, lord!" Katsuyori vaguely remembered that Brother Tsuchiya ran out after saying this, but this memory is also blurred.Now, what fills Katsuyori's heart is the Genji clan that has lasted for more than 20 generations since the distant ancestor Yoshimitsu, just buried in his own hands.Why me?Thinking of it, the blood in his whole body froze - am I such an unworthy son?These all seem to be destined.Yijia and Yiguang brothers created this family business in the shadow of swords and swords.The spell attached to the knife was finally fulfilled, and finally there was such a tragic ending. Among these people, only Mrs. Odawara is particularly beautiful. What does this mean?The murderer pays with his life, if there is karma, then why did the wife die without killing the murderer? "Madam..." Madam's body had been stiff for a long time, and then Shenglai reluctantly took his hand away and looked around blankly. Suddenly, his heart trembled.He saw one after another souls leave the corpses in disorder and rise faintly into the sky. Of course, this is not the human soul, it may be caused by the reflection of the hazy moonlight by the white underwear in the already dark world.However, in Katsurai's view, this is indeed the human soul.One of them flew to Katsurai's face. "Do you remember me?" "Ah, you...you...you are Ofeng?" Katsuyori couldn't help pressing his hand on the handle of the knife, "You are Ofeng. You must be the Ouping hostage Ofeng who was crucified in the formation of Fenglai Temple .” Yes, it's Afeng, the one who kept cursing on the cross tree, the one who said that after death, he must become a ghost and come to find the one he loves... I saw Afeng's soul laughing, Pointing to Mrs. Odawara's body. "You!" Katsurai pulled out the knife and held it in front of his eyes, but when he took a closer look, there was no soul at all in front of him. "My lord!" Suddenly, someone shouted from behind.Katsurai turned his head and saw that it was Tsuchiya Masaoji, who was limping over with wounds all over his body, leaning on a knife. "Oh, it's Shoji...how is Kii Akiyama?" Katsuyori opened his eyes vigorously, confirming that the person standing in front of him with a sword was indeed Shoji.Under the hazy moonlight, the wounded Masato looked so weak. "Shoji, what's the matter, you have to hold on, what happened to Kii Akiyama?" "Dead in battle..." "Mr. Xiaoyuan..." "Death in battle..." "Where is Lingdi Changheng?" "Also die in battle..." Changji repeated the same answer in his mouth, fearing that he couldn't hold on any longer, he suddenly staggered, staggered two or three steps, and fell headlong into the moonlight. "Changji...wanted to die by his wife's side, so he came back alone. My lord, hurry...quick...quickly, there are enemies everywhere." "Oh." Katsurai replied numbly, trembling.He had been shrouded in illusion just now, thinking that he was dead long ago, but when he suddenly woke up from the daze and found that he was still alive, he trembled with fear.Everyone has become a ghost, only I am still alive... It was Changji, who wanted to die beside his wife and staggered back, that made him wake up. "Shoji..." Katsuyori's voice was gloomy, and it couldn't help but sound frightening, "You, in that way...can you still excuse me?" He suddenly came up with another idea: first escape like this, escape to a certain place, and then plot to make a comeback.This is my duty to the Takeda clan... "Mistake..." Changji's weak voice seemed to melt into the moonlight, "If... if it is an order... I will obey it, but my hands and feet are no longer in control..." "You mean you can't move, so don't force yourself...you're too tired." "No, if it's an order, I will definitely intervene with the lord and accompany the lord... This is my life." Shoji seemed to think so, and crawled towards Katsuyori bit by bit, " You are going to die, everyone... everyone... is dead." "Oh, passed away." Katsurai was in a state of embarrassment, and stepped back step by step.He suddenly felt that Shoji, who had already decided that he must commit suicide, was very hateful, and then he developed a strong hatred for himself.The exhausted master and slave remained in a stalemate for a while. "Quickly, please pass away quickly, my lord." "Oh, the fragmented moon is hidden in the clouds...it will be sunny in the west..." "To the west is the pure land...it's very rare, and Masaji, I'm going to die too." "Oh, you're going to die, and I'll keep you in my heart." Masaji crawled over and looked at Katsuyori reluctantly. "My lord, please pass away quickly and turn into the bright... bright moon in the sky..." He leaned on the knife and stood up unsteadily. Katsuyori made up his mind for the third time after listening to Masaji's death request.Facing death, Katsuyori's heart changed again and again, and even he himself was afraid, feeling hesitant and unreliable.On the way to escape, Katsuyori has been unable to shake off this conflicting emotion. On the way to escape, when passing by the Temple of Compassionate Eyes, Katsurai made up his mind to commit suicide, and even sent envoys to the abbot of the temple to entrust him to Koyasan to donate relics for himself. He even thought about the relics to be donated: he and his wife And the longevity statue of Taro Nobukatsu, a knife that his father always carries with him, the rice rope deity, the book of Taiyang Fadu (Shingen's own book), a monk (Xingen's armor), a sword... and gold Twelve.When entrusting the abbot to send these to Koyasan, he thought that even if he died like this, he would have no regrets. Now, Katsuyori wavered again, too frightened to think about it.But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the only way to escape from this shaking and terror was to "die", there was no other choice. Madam firmly believed that husband and wife would love each other in that world, so she died without hesitation.Many retainers also firmly believed that they should sacrifice their lives for their masters, and they all committed suicide without hesitation.The current Tsuchiya Masaji was seriously injured, and he had to watch the lord commit suicide before dying, so he was still holding on there with a knife. "My lord, I can still move my hands... limbs. Namo Hachiman Bodhisattva! Tsuchiya Shoji can still be loyal to his master in the end... Anyway, Shoji will fulfill his obligations satisfactorily." Katsuyori savored Shoji's words slowly, and then pulled the fur lying on the ground to him.He was afraid that he would waver again. "Choji, can you do it?" He sat on the leather as if yelling at Changji loudly, "My head will be handed over to the enemy tomorrow, don't chop it up, it will make people laugh .” "Understood... Shoji understands." Shoji staggered to his feet and turned behind Katsuyori. The moon still seems to be holding a big tattered umbrella, reflecting the surroundings brightly. "Come on, you're going to be me... the dead man... the moon has gone into the clouds..." After finishing speaking, Katsuyori stabbed the short knife into his lower abdomen with a swipe.However, even at this time, he was still eager to move in his heart, as if he was looking for a way to survive. "Shoji follows your orders." Katsurai felt that Masaji's voice was getting farther and farther away. Changji used the strength he had accumulated for a long time, swung his sword, and fell to the ground.He touched the dead body of Katsurai, whose head had only been cut off in half, before calling out to his son, "Koshiro, father is here." At this time, Changji had no strength to sit up, so he fell to the ground, put the dagger in his mouth, and hit the ground with his whole body. On the night of March 11th in the tenth year of Tianzheng, there were no moving figures on the plateau. The next day, the heads of Katsuya and his son were found by Oda General Takigawa Sakon Kazuyoshi, and they were immediately sent to Nobutada in Kofu, and then Nobutada immediately sent them to his father Nobunaga to verify the authenticity. In this way, the Takeda family perished.However, Nobunaga did not stop there and continued to sweep up Takeda's henchmen. Of Meixue Anshan who returned to Ieyasu, only the father and son were able to linger on, barely surviving, and the rest were dragged out and killed.Although Anayama Meiyusai Bushiro of Ejiri Castle in Suruga belongs to the Takeda clan, and his mother is Shingen's older sister, he was spared because he joined Ieyasu.Takeda Nobutoyo and his son Jiro were deceived by Shimosone Uchicraft and killed in Komoro, while Xiaoyaoken Noburen, who looked exactly like Shingen, was beheaded in the government. Atobe Daisuke Katsuko, Suwa Etchu Mori Yoritoyo, and Imafuku Chiku Masahiro Masahiro lost their lives in Suwa.Hei Nobushige Oyamada and his son-in-law Takeda Zaemon Taifu Nobumitsu, who drove Katsuyori away from Takeko Ridge, were beheaded at Zenkoji Temple in Kofu along with Nobusada Katsuyama Juro and Goro Kosuge Hei Motonari. An Emon Taifu Noburyu was killed by Ieyasu in Tsuchino, Ichikawa, Yamagata Genshiro Masaki, Asahina Suruga Moriyuki and his son Nobuyoshi, Imafuku Tanba, Imafuku Zenjuro, Tamine's Suganuma Jubu Shosuke Naosuke, Suganuma Izumori Manzhi and others were also captured and killed by Ieyasu. In the end, the vast territory of the Takeda clan was all annexed by the Oda and Tokugawa families. After conquering the Takeda family, marching from Iwamura to Neba on March 13th, and crossing Hiraya on the 14th, when sending troops to Nanai, Nobunaga inspected the heads of Katsuyori and his son.The head that was once sent to Nobunaga's office was brought to Nobunaga's camp by Takikawa Kazuyoshi this time. At this time, the weather was already very warm, the trees were covered with green leaves, and the soldiers were sweating from under their armor. "Okay! I want to see it with my own eyes. Burn incense!" As soon as Nobunaga heard that Shenglai's head had arrived, he ordered people to spread tiger skins in the curtain, and sat on it without even removing the armor.Seeing the box containing the heads Yiyi presented, he couldn't help laughing.It seems that the head is well preserved, and it has been more than 20 days since the day of suicide, and it still hasn't changed much.Kazuki presented it to Nobunaga respectfully, and then stepped back far away. "Katsuyori..." Nobunaga squinted his eyes carefully for a while, then muttered to the head, "Your fate is really bad..." Mori Ranmaru, who was standing guard at the side, turned his head away with red eyes.Although what Nobunaga said was not necessarily about the impermanence of life, it seemed to shake the young Mori Ranmaru's heart greatly. "The famous samurai finally handed over his head to me. Is this life?" Nobunaga slowly turned his gaze to Taro Nobukatsu's head, "You finally returned to your mother?" Nobukatsu's mother is Nobunaga's niece, the daughter of Toyama Kuhei Tomotada, the lord of Mino Naegi Castle.When Shingen was still alive, Nobunaga married her as an adopted daughter to Katsuyori. The adopted girl passed away shortly after giving birth to Shinkatsu. "Go and tell your mother, don't blame Nobunaga. It's all because your father and grandfather couldn't see through my luck. They did stupid things themselves." At some point, Nobunaga changed into a confiding tone, "When you married your mother... Nobunaga was still weak, and he didn't dare to offend your grandfather. He was almost exhausted. However, as time passed, the positions of Katsuyori and I were reversed, but your father couldn't see The situation of the Qing Dynasty finally buried Genji Kai." After finishing speaking, Nobunaga bowed his head and smiled again. It is indeed rare for Nobunaga to behave like this.He never brought up trivial matters, complaints and emotions, and so on, and the servant boys all looked at each other in blank dismay. "Nobunaga will return to Antu immediately and conquer China. If you see your mother in that world, tell her that the road to war is still long, but the unification of the world is only one step away." Then Nobunaga opened the fan, He recruited Yiyi over. "This head, after showing it to the public in Iida, was transported to the capital together with Nobutoyo's head. By the way, let Hasegawa Zongren be the envoy. The place to show the public in the capital should be around a bridge." "Of order." Yiyi replied respectfully, and took the head. Nobunaga only stayed here for one night. On the second day, he immediately left Suwa for Iida.In the tent of Hokke-ji Temple in Suwa, he received Ieyasu who came later.Ieyasu only brought Umeyuki Anayama, the only surviving family member of the Takeda clan, to see Nobunaga.Nobunaga called the two of them into the tent, full of praise for Ieyasu, but didn't even look at Meixue. "Ieyasu, you really did a great job this time. Thanks to you, now I can finally pacify the Chinese region with all my strength." Just as Ieyasu was about to speak, Nobunaga told his valet, "I heard Kiso Yoshishang is here, tell him to come in." When Yichang was brought in, Ieyasu had to stand on the left side like Nobunaga's general.Kiso Yoshima saw Ieyasu and Meiyuki standing beside him in the curtain, he was very respectful, and immediately said that he would give Nobunaga two horses. "Oh. That would be great! Give Kiso a gift in return." After Nobunaga finished speaking, Hasegawa Souhito returned the dagger and 100 gold ingots he had prepared to Yichang. In fact, Anayama Meixue also wanted to present a good horse, and had someone bring it here on purpose.After Kiso Yoshimasa retired, Ieyasu reported the horse sacrifice. "Ah, oh." Nobunaga just nodded slightly, glanced at Mei Xue lightly, and immediately changed the subject, "I heard that Ieyasu has a retainer named Nagasaka Blood Gun Kuro." "Your Excellency's words are not bad. This person has been a retainer of the family for generations, so he has a good gun." "I heard that it took him seven days and seven nights to persuade a general from Takeda to surrender. Is this blood gun Kuro here now?" Nobunaga knew that Anayama Meiyuki was a subjugated general, but he just said these things, which was really a great irony to him.Jiakang took a quick look at Mei Xue, only to see that Mei Xue lowered her head, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and get in. "That man named Blood Gun Kuro, if you bring it, I want to see him. I heard that thanks to this man, Ieyasu won all the subsequent battles. I want to hear what he said for seven days and seven nights, and praise him by the way Just a moment. Get him here." Ieyasu felt a sharp pain in his heart, and replied in a low voice, "This person hasn't arrived here yet." This is of course lying.However, no matter what, Mei Xue is a well-known general in the Takeda clan, her mother is Shingen's older sister, and her wife is Shingen's daughter.But Nobunaga, who knows all about these things, wants to call Xueqiang Kuro and ask him to tell the story of how he tried his best to persuade him to surrender. This clearly underestimates Mei Xue's surrender.Why?Ieyasu thought hard and finally came up with the root cause.Although Nobunaga destroyed Takeda, the remnants of Takeda combined with Ieyasu's forces.Nobunaga worried that these remnants would become intertwined and continue to develop.Nobunaga, who used to be clear about praise and criticism, and vigorous and resolute, is gone now... "Oh. Haven't arrived yet? What a pity!" Nobunaga expressed regret, smacked his lips, and took out a short knife he carried with him and put it in front of Ieyasu, "Go back and tell Xue Qiang that Nobunaga has treated him I admire him very much and gave him this knife. Since he is your retainer, he will be the same as mine." "Thank you." Ieyasu saluted.It suddenly occurred to him that Nobunaga's recent changes were all because he regarded himself as a "man of the world" and became conceited. "Since he is your retainer, he will be the same as mine." This sounded very different from the tone when he called Ieyasu Mikawa's relative.He himself is the commander of the world, Ieyasu is his retainer, and Xueqiang Kuro is the retainer of the retainer.Ieyasu clearly felt the implication. "Then, who was the person who was persuaded by Xueqiang Jiulang to save his life?" "..." "I heard Nobutada mention it in Kofu, but I accidentally forgot it. That person must be very grateful to you." "My lord, forgive me for taking the liberty." Mei Xue finally couldn't help it anymore, "I was persuaded by Nagasaka Blood Gun Kuro, and the one who has been deeply ashamed to this day is the incompetent—Anayama Meiyuki is humane." "Oh?" Nobunaga pretended to be ignorant on purpose, "It turned out to be you, alas, this, this, how offended you are." Mei Xue lowered her head, her hands resting on her knees trembled uncontrollably, and with a slap, a tear rolled down.Ieyasu glanced at him, and interjected calmly, "Matsuo's Ogasawara has arrived in the formation, so we're leaving." After saying that, he left Nobunaga's camp, silently waiting for Umeyuki Anayama to leave. In front of the camp, the steed given to Nobunaga by Dr. Ogasawara Sobe and the steed brought by Umeyuki Anayama were tied side by side under the cedar tree.Mei Xue was the last to report to Nobunaga about donating the horse, so she came out a step late. "Have you seen the power of Lord Nobunaga?" Ieyasu pretended to be calm, pointing to the horses beside the two horses, who were still coming to pay tribute. It was a thousand bags of rice sent in the name of horse food by the Hojo Clan political party Duanshan Dashan Dafu Shizhi as an envoy, together with Jiang Chuanjiu Shiratori.Regarding this Xiang's gift, I'm afraid Nobunaga didn't even look at it.What's more, in this battle, Ujimasa only sent a small number of troops to Suruga, and Nobunaga seemed very dissatisfied with this. In the past, Nobunaga had a habit, even if others showed him a little kindness, he would accept it very exaggeratedly.Today, it's just the opposite.This is probably also the reason why he is conceited as a man of the world.From this position, looking around, all good intentions are taken for granted, and no matter how exquisite a gift is, others should respect it.This temperament seems to be shared by Yoshiaki, the last general of the Ashikaga shogunate.Although Yizhao no longer has any strength, he still regards himself as an orderly, and ends up running into obstacles everywhere.Katsurai seemed to have the same illusion. Ieyasu took these lessons to heart.The valet brought him a horse, but he still looked around at the mountains of presents, motionless.Umeyuki Anayama stood beside him, secretly comparing Nobunaga and Ieyasu in her heart. "Mei Xue." Ieyasu said, "I'm really sorry that you came here to show me the way." "Where, where, it should be, it should be." "Katsuyai and his son and the heads of Xinfeng seem to be sent to the capital for public display." "They are old enemies of the Oda family, so..." "I have also received a lot of teachings from Lord Xinxuan. It can be said that without Lord Xinxuan, I would not be where I am today." "I really want to hear your feelings." "One day, I would like to ask Lord Nobunaga for permission to build a temple for Takeda and his son in the field of Tianmu Mountain to mourn the soul of Takeda." Mei Xue glanced at Ieyasu, wanted to say something, but was speechless.At least, Ieyasu wanted to live a different life from Nobunaga... Of course he understood, but if he answered immediately, Ieyasu would feel that he was flattering him. "No, the general's way of life is pathetic. Let's go back to camp!" Ieyasu deliberately said in terms that Meiyuki would not care about, then waved to his valet, and slowly mounted his horse.Mei Xue also followed Ieyasu's example and slowly got on the horse. The gift-giving horse team gradually increased, and the front of Nobunaga's camp and around the Fahua Temple were crowded with horses and items.Ieyasu urged Meixue to gallop away from the mountains of gifts.
