A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"With your father not around, have you served Danzheng and your mother with all your heart?"

"Father, don't worry, don't dare to relax for a moment!"

"Very good!" Heiroku nodded and wanted to reach out and touch Honda Tadakatsu's head. He hesitated for a moment. The child was already in Yuanfu and could no longer touch the bald forehead.

Although under the auspices of Koheita, because Heiroku already had a son, Heihachiro was returned to succeed the Honda family. However, Heiroku was kind to Honda Tadakatsu in his upbringing. Although the name of father and son is gone, the reality of father and son is still there.

Honda Tadakatsu was originally a person who accepted death. Heiroku took in their mother and son when they were in trouble, took care of him and his mother's night life, and took care of his food and clothing. In the end, he was sent to Xiao Pingtai as an attendant. Without Pingliu, Honda Tadakatsu would not be where he is today.

How could Honda Tadakatsu forget such kindness just because he changed his name to "Honda Miao". What's more, his mother and younger brother are still from the Hebian family, so when he goes home, he still goes back to the Hebian family.

Naturally, the relationship between father and son must still be good.

"How many people did father bring this time?" Honda Tadakatsu now has a bit of a samurai image.

"Ten thousand people! The essence of Yuanjiang is all here."

The father and son looked back and saw that in the palace and below the city, all over the mountains and plains were army camps. Spreading from this hilltop to that hilltop, along both sides of Lianchuan River, they are densely packed and boundless.

"It disturbed the intimate reunion between your father and son, hahahahaha."

"Tanzheng!" Heiroku and Honda Tadakatsu bowed their heads in salute.

"Hey, Heiroku you and I are ministers in the same palace, so you don't need to be so polite." Heiroku has long been no longer the retainer of Heita Xiao, but now he is a serious official of the Yamauchi clan, the most useful group among the middle-level samurai.

If we just talk about it in terms of devotion, then it is really the name of devotion that ranks among the best in the family.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I will do great service to the country, and I will also be a great favor to you."

"Forget the clichés, how many people from the Yuanjiang people and leaders mobilized?"

"Ten thousand people!"

"Uncle, you can lead the people of Toyota County yourself!"

"Me? But..." Pingliu was happy at first, and then a little worried.

"Why, isn't it true that I also follow a common family background? If I temporarily lend Heihachi to you, you will have a first-hand general! If father and son go into battle, there's nothing wrong with it."

"I'm just afraid that there will be a heavy trust in the negative and positive." Heiroku rubbed his hands excitedly. Who would have thought that after he led the team over, he thought he would continue to manage logistics, but suddenly he became a general of an army.

"Logically speaking, you first served as Fukuchi County Secretary, and now you are the current President Hamamatsu. You should have led a team by yourself long ago. It is still too late now." Xiaoheita encouraged him, hoping that Heiroku could continue his efforts.

After seeing off the two father and son, Koheita inspected the gathered Minami Shinano people again. After relatively enriching some military servicemen and public servants who came from the mountains, the condition of the entire team was much better.

But it only looks better. How much its combat effectiveness has been restored is still unknown. You can't expect a bunch of peasants and soldiers who are only willing to fight against the wind and just want to grab a piece to go home for the New Year. Without the supervision of samurai, how much combat effectiveness they can exert.

Let’s make do with it first!

Ten thousand soldiers from Northern Shinano went to Ueno. There were six thousand soldiers from Minami Shinano and 3,500 soldiers from Yamauchi Banner on Koheita's side. One thousand peasants and Ashigaru soldiers were left behind behind Fuchu Castle with 18,500 soldiers. All the troops marched towards Suwa.

However, they stopped when they arrived in Suwa. Except for the 3,500 soldiers in Hatamoto's standing army, the rest of the army stayed in Uehara Castle and waited for changes.

Koheita escorted the monk Shouhiko (Imagawa Hikoro) who had become a monk, as well as Takeda Katsunobu, who served as Yamauchi Taro's flag, and the two last Takeda Gorenedi, Kawago Nobuyuki and Katsurayama Nobusada, entered Kai. Fuzhong City.

Konishiharazaemon had known the news for a long time, so he naturally stepped up his defense. Last year, the only one-layer city wall became two-layer, and earth walls and four fences were also built. On the other hand, they are sending additional manpower to the government offices in various counties and townships, but they are not confident that they can immediately extinguish local troubles. As long as the news can be conveyed, once the heavenly soldiers in the mountain arrive, everyone will be destroyed!

Koheita was not dissatisfied with the arrangement of Konishiharazaemon. Yamauchi Hatamoto entered Kofu Castle, so that there were five thousand troops in the city, equipped with iron cannons, bows and arrows, guns and ammunition.

In fact, the Yamauchi Army is already in an invincible position!

However, smoke bombs were still released to the outside world, and a thousand peasant soldiers in the city were ordered to go to Hachioji to raise more flags and lengthen the team. A thoughtful person would not dare to count the heads one by one in front of the army, claiming that three thousand people came out of the city.

To give Kai the illusion that there were less than 2,000 defenders in Kofu City, and secondly, to deliberately reveal the news. It is necessary to make sure that Monk Shaoyan is in Jiafu City, and due to the weak defense, there are not enough troops to monitor.

As for whether Monk Shaoyan will come to Kaifei? Need a reason? Any reason will appear false and full of flaws.

No reason is the best reason!

Here he is, indeed the legitimate son of Takeda Yoshinobu! To save or not to save, this decision is in your hands, not in the hands of the Yamauchi family.

Whether it is a trap or not, you need to judge for yourself!

Adults are always responsible for their own actions. Will they pay the price? How much does it cost? Before acting, you must be mentally prepared.

…………

It is not a dark farmhouse thatched cottage, with a large wooden door open. The so-called mud house does not exist. How could a child who was only two years old get up and lead the people in Jia Fei? As for the mountain god Bodhisattva descending to earth, it is even more imaginary.

A two-year-old child is here to serve as a bastard, and his words are incoherent.

The real Tsuchiya Sozo is definitely still alive, but I don’t know where he was quietly carried away by Tsuchiya’s retainers. The reputation of "Takeda's No. 1 Soldier" does not mean that this two-year-old child can also be the No. 1 Soldier!

Of course, the men here have no real intention to find Tsuchiya Sozo. They are just using his name to infect, incite, and drive the people of Kai. Play a tragedy card, and then play a loyalty card, so that the Kai people who have been dormant under the rule of the Yamauchi clan can follow them.

"It can be confirmed that His Highness Hikoro is in the city!"

"Confirm! Where is the specific location?"

"Between Honmaru and Okanishi in the castle!"

"How's the security?"

"There are about 1,800 city soldiers, all standing troops directly under the mountain. There is no way to detect it!"

"Hmm... This is going to be difficult. His Highness Hikoro is the master of Kai. Only with him can we get the Kai group to respond!"

"But you can't enter the city at all..."

"We must rescue His Highness Hikoro-san. This is our responsibility as ministers of Takeda."

The radiance of the morning sun shines on this man's face, which is exceptionally brilliant!
