It can also be said that he is always inadvertently hindering Takeda Shingen's way to Beijing.  For more than 20 years, every time the snow and ice melted all over the mountains and plains of the northern country, Uesugi Kenshin always came to challenge.  He neither accepted any of the benefits offered by the Takeda family nor ignored demands for peace.  Uesugi Kenshin, who believed in Zen Buddhism, was so energetic that it frustrated Takeda Shingen.  In August of the fourth year of Eiroku, the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima started between the Takeda family and the Uesugi family, but it lasted until May of the fifth year of Eiroku. And it was in May that Uesugi Kenshin took advantage of a situation where both sides  On the opportunity of a battle, he broke into the Takeda family camp on Kawanaka Island alone and wanted to kill Takeda Shingen with his beloved sword "Azuki Nagako". His weird style shocked the world.  At that time, Takeda Shingen managed to escape the disaster by relying on Western military equipment, but his wrist and shoulder were injured.  And instead of being stabbed once or twice, he was stabbed eight times in a row.  Uesugi Kenshin's sword was as fast as lightning, and even Takeda Shingen's Suwa Hosei helmet, which Takeda Shingen was always proud of, was struck three times.  So.  Takeda Shingen was injured as a result.  And the force had to be divided into two.  Some of the troops continued to use Kaizu Castle as their base and continued to monitor the Uesugi family's army after the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima that ended in June. The other part of the troops escorted Takeda Shingen, who needed to recuperate, to Shinano.  Gaoyuan City in China.  While recuperating, Takeda Shingen couldn't help but recall that whenever the dead trees turned green and the snow melted, Takeda had to prepare for fighting on the Eastern Front; and when the snow was flying and thousands of miles were covered with ice, Takeda Shingen began to rush to Beijing.  The messenger of spring comes from the east, and the messenger of winter comes from the west.  All this seems absurd, but it is also the fate of Takeda Shingen.  Takeda Shingen will not be afraid of Uesugi Kenshin to the east and thus give up his ambition; nor can he ignore Uesugi Kenshin's existence and easily enter the capital.  If it weren't for Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen would have entered the capital when Imagawa Yoshimoto was in war.  ¡°However, Takeda Shingen was already in his early fifties at this time.  When he first entered the war at the age of sixteen, he took the head of Hiraga Xuanzhen from Saku Castle in Shinshu. From then on, he continued to accumulate experience in war and became a giant in the martial arts.  He relied on his outstanding political talents to enable his people to live a prosperous life; he had a sharp vision and an insight into the interests of the people.  Make friends from far away and attack close by; rely on powerful force to seize every opportunity to expand your territory.  now.  He already possesses: the entire territory of Kai, 250,000 dan; most of Shinano, 510,000 dan.  Adding it all up, he owns a huge territory of nearly 760,000 shi.  Based on the ten thousand stone territory to support 250 soldiers, he already has an army of about ten thousand.  But God still did not give him the opportunity to enter Beijing.  But this time, he finally had a chance.  Of course, in history, Takeda Shingen at this time should consider taking advantage of the death of Nagano Imamasa to invade Ueno Country. Unfortunately, due to the Luo family's secret intervention in Tokaido and the Kanto region,  This time, the Takeda family not only faced off with the Uesugi family in the Kawanakajima area for a longer time than in history, but the Nagano family of the Ueno Kingdom also took advantage of this period to integrate the forces of the Ueno Kingdom, and also united with the Kanto  Many wealthy families have consolidated their own strength. As for their allies, the Imagawa family has fallen into civil strife, giving the Takeda family the opportunity to enter the Mikawa Kingdom and even the Toe Country area, so Takeda Shingen decisively chose to take advantage of the opportunity to go to Luo.  At this time, Takeda Shingen was sitting quietly in the bedroom of Takato Castle, half-opening his eyes, looking at the mountains and forests on the key mountain.  He seemed to have no thoughts.  During his fifty-two years of military service, his life was as thick as a mountain.  He was deep in thought.  Several retainers came to the door and saw Takeda Shingen meditating, and immediately left quietly again.  The calm of the summer courtyard is constantly broken by the sound of shrikes.  The third person who came to the bedroom was his legitimate son Takeda Yoshinobu.  Takeda Yoshinobu saw his father deep in thought and wanted to leave, but finally sat down.  He wanted to wait until Takeda Shingen woke up.  But after waiting for a long time, Takeda Shingen did not move.  Takeda Yoshinobu sat quietly, looking at the courtyard in the deep summer.  His father was as majestic as an iron tower, while Takeda Yoshinobu was as gentle as a woman.  "Is it Yoshinobu?" After a long while, Takeda Shingen finally said, "Has Kaga's secret envoy arrived?" ?Tian Yixin finally knew what his father was thinking just now.  "No, it's the people we sent to Oda who have returned." "How is Nobunaga?" "He is attacking Ise Country in an all-out way, and there is no response yet to my family's request for alliance." Takeda Shingen stared at Yoshi with wide eyes.  Xin, whispered: "Where is the Imagawa family?" "It is still in civil strife, but Suruga's side may not be able to support it for too long, and the other side has also asked our family for help several times." "Yoshinobu, let Baba Nobharu and Yama  Magistrate Masakai spread the above situation to Imagawa territory. "Do you want the Imagawa family to surrender?" Takeda Yoshinobu asked seriously.  Deep down in his heart, he didn't want the Takeda family to be at odds with the Imagawa family.  Takeda Shingen shook his head slightly, "This is a borrowing from my family. And it is also to help allies quell civil strife!" After hearing this, Takeda Yoshinobu had a smile on his face, as if he didn't take it seriously.  But he still replied obediently: "My son will do it now." Then, Takeda Yoshinobu added: "But the alliance between Nobunaga and the Tokugawa family is stronger than we thought." "That's why I asked people to spread rumors.  Knowing the strength of the enemy may bring about two consequences, one is to be afraid, and the other is to become more cautious. Please inform me immediately after Kaga's envoy arrives. "  Takeda Yoshinobu nodded.  But he had no intention of getting up immediately. His father's attitude made him unhappy, so he moved forward: "Father!" Takeda Shingen did not answer and closed his eyes.  In fact, like Takeda Yoshinobu, he believes that now is a good time.  After fifty-two years of war, exhausting all means and efforts, his ambition to enter Beijing has never wavered.  Therefore, you should be more careful at this time to ensure nothing goes wrong.  "It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as a mountain." This is a famous saying in "The Art of War: Military Struggle Chapter" by Sun Tzu. Takeda Shingen specially wrote it on the flag to indicate the wind of war.  His current contemplation is like the silence before the approaching wind, or like the tranquility of a mountain watching the rushing water.  "Father." Takeda Yoshinobu said again.  Takeda Shingen still hasn't opened his eyes.  But Takeda Yoshinobu knew that he must be listening, so he continued: "Since you are so worried about Kaga and Etchu. How about simply sending an envoy to find out more?" "" "It's like letting this opportunity go in vain.  We have to wait until next year During this time, Nobunaga has consolidated the Ise area and the Imagawa family has been unified again. In this case, the family will never have a chance again," Takeda Yoshinobu said again.  In fact, there is another more important reason why Takeda Yoshinobu is so anxious to encourage his father to take action in Luo as soon as possible, that is, he hopes to take this opportunity to make his wife's natal family, the Suruga Imagawa family, move from the distant river Imagawa family.  After all, only the Suruga Imagawa family can continue to rule the Suruga country, and can support him to continue to occupy the position of successor to the Takeda family governor.  As for the Toe Imagawa family, although they are also his relatives, Takeda Yoshinobu has indeed never dealt with the family's governor, Imagawa Buring Rei, before, so he is more supportive of Suruga Imagawa, where the Imagawa clan is really located.  Home.  "Yoshinobu, you are already in your twenties this year. You must learn to be calm." "You don't believe in the power of the Ichikou clan?" Takeda Shingen half-closed his eyes and shook his head gently: "The flames lit by outsiders are easy to extinguish. I  We are waiting for them to spontaneously ignite the fire of rebellion. Only in this way can we stop Uesugi Kenshin." Takeda Shingen's tone was heavy, he was worried and full of hope.  Takeda Yoshinobu was speechless, gave a bow, and left.  When Takeda Yoshinobu returned to the gate of his residence, the servant Atobe Satota who was waiting in front of the gate immediately came over and reported: "Kaga's secret envoy has arrived." "Kaga's secret envoy?" Takeda Yoshinobu's eyes widened.  Bright.  He quickly reached the guest room.  Envoy Kaga will report the news of the Ichichizong uprising that his father has been waiting for.  How the father makes a decision depends largely on this report.  Takeda Yoshinobu couldn't help but get excited.  "Sato Tai, please step back first." Takeda Yoshinobu wanted to talk to the envoy first, and then let him go to see his father.  Opening the partition with a tiger painted on it, he entered the guest room: "Thank you for your hard work. I am Takeda Yoshinobu. What's going on with Etchu and Kaga?" "Are you Mr. Takeda Yoshinobu?" The emissary glanced at him.  You can tell at a glance that this man is a monk, but he deliberately grows his hair long and dresses like a healer.  He had a terrifying appearance, twisting a Buddhist bead symbolizing his faith in his left hand. "This villain is the secret envoy sent by the abbot of Honganji Temple. Please let me see Mr. Shingen first." After saying this, he ignored the presence of Takeda Yoshinobu and proudly turned his gaze to  patio.  Takeda Yoshinobu was suddenly stunned.  Apparently, Honganji did not like Takeda Yoshinobu.  But since this person already knew who he was, he did not inform him.The name is really too deceiving!  Takeda Yoshinobu tried his best to control his anger and said with a smile: "Since there is something important, I will report it immediately. May I ask the master's Buddhist name?" "You have seen that I am not a Buddhist." "Indeed, what you are wearing is  It's not a robe, it's a secular garment. So, your name" "You may not know it even if I tell you it, but since you asked, I might as well tell you. I am Fujino Katsura, the doctor of the Kaga Anzai family.  " "Fujino Katsura? Wait." Takeda Yoshinobu's eyebrows trembled and he walked out angrily.  Those who are supported by the generals of Shinshu will definitely not be popular with the capital; those who are favored by the capital will definitely not be popular with the people and generals.  Takeda Yoshinobu suddenly thought of what happened after his father's death.  After his father's death, the monks at Honganji Temple probably wouldn't act recklessly.  So, for the sake of the future of the Takeda family, it is better to hold back your anger now When Takeda Yoshinobu saw his father Takeda Shingen again, his father still faced the vital mountain and sat calmly, so Takeda Yoshinobu immediately reported: "Father,  Kaga's emissary has arrived." Takeda Shingen opened his eyes slightly: "Who is it?" "He calls himself Fujino Katsura." "Fujino then he is from the Tomei clan." Takeda Shingen nodded thoughtfully.  "I know, let him wait." As his father Takeda Shingen said this, Takeda Yoshinobu immediately felt a little embarrassed.  He originally thought that his father, Takeda Shingen, would jump to his feet when he heard that the messenger was coming, but the result was completely the opposite, so he confirmed again: "Let him wait?" "Yes." Takeda Shingen took it easy after hearing this.  He nodded, and then continued, "Since the messenger is here, the matter must have been finalized. I want to think about it for a while." "At this time, you still want to think about it? This is not like your style" Takeda Shingenwen  After speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes and said with certainty: "We won!" "You mean?" "Since the secret envoy has arrived, it means that the monks of the Yixiang Sect in Yuezhong and Kaga have blocked Yue for me this winter.  "So, you should hurry up" "No, I have to think about the future now, Yoshinobu There are probably battles other than wars in the world." "Me.  It means that everyone has a destiny in his life. How many years can I live after victory? " "This this" "You don't know, and I don't know either.  Even if you die in battle, there will be no regrets. This is what I am thinking about now. So, let me think about it for a while. Tell the emissary to eat first." After that, Takeda Shingen said lightly.  He closed his eyes lightly.  The summer sun is setting in the west, and the red leaves dye the sky full of clouds in the evening (A great activity for pie-in-the-sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
