    The content of the emergency report roughly stated that Takeda Shingen quickly rushed to Takato Castle in Shinano after being defeated by the Imagawa family and returned to Kai Country. After a short rest, the Tiger of Kai suddenly started to move again.  Judging from the analysis of the Intelligence Cabinet, this time the Tiger of Kai Takeda Shingen's target is likely to be the Mikawa Kingdom or even the Toe Country area.  ¡Æ "Damn the Tiger of Kai!" After learning this information, Masara couldn't help but cursed angrily.  You must know that Masara's current plan is mainly to completely consolidate the control of the Luo family over the Imagawa family on the one hand, and to seize the opportunity to seize the Izu country area while the Hojo family is busy taking care of themselves.  It turned out to be good now. This dead tiger of the Takeda family always came to trouble him. It would be strange if he wasn't angry.  "However, if Takeda Shingen really comes, then preparations must be made early. Especially at this time, the wealthy families bordering the Shinano area have always been against the Imagawa family. According to the second son Nobuira and the Imagawa family before  According to reports, these families have secretly defected to the Takeda family. If these wealthy families are as the vanguard, then the Takeda family's attack on Mikawa and Toe areas will be much easier. After all, these families are very familiar with Mikawa and Toe areas.  The terrain and other conditions in the Jiang area." After thinking of this, Masara immediately summoned the Luo family and the Imagawa family to discuss how to deal with the Takeda family's invasion of the Toe and Mikawa areas.  And the facts are just as expected by the Luo Family Intelligence Bureau. In October of the fifth year of Eiroku, when the autumn harvest had just ended, the Uesugi family in Echigo was entangled in a riot launched by the Ichigo clan, and the Imagawa family was in  The Izu Country area is entangled with the Hojo family.  At this time, the powerful families in Kanto were also fighting endlessly with the Hojo family.  Takeda Shingen suddenly called on Luo.  He led tens of thousands of Takeda clan troops to leave Takato Castle and formally set out for battle in the Mikawa and Toe Province areas of Tokaido.  After leaving Shinshu Ina, Takeda Shingen ordered Yamagata Saburobei Masakage to leave Toe River from Higashi Mikawa to join the main force and enter Toe River on the tenth day of October.  Takeda Shingen's advance was steady and steady, and with the help of the Kansuge family, Amano family and other wealthy families in the mountainous area, he quickly and smoothly captured Tatara and Iida and other places, approaching Kuno Castle.  In the meantime.  The wealthy Imagawa family, who had been prepared for a long time, did not attack the Takeda family. Instead, they gradually retreated deeper into the Imagawa family's internal territory in accordance with the order given by the Imagawa family. Unlike the Imagawa family, which had been retreating, De  Instead, Kawa Ieyasu directly led his troops to the vicinity of the Takeda family's army and prepared to attack the Takeda family's army.  Although there were still retainers who opposed the war, he flatly refused.  On October 13, Takeda Shingen received information from Toe's spies, decisively approached Jiangtai Island, and began to attack Nakane Shoteru of Futama Castle.  the other side.  Yamagata Saburobei attacked Yoshida Castle from the direction of Higashi Mikawa and quickly occupied Ihei.  It cut off the channel through which the Oda family could send reinforcements, and even more alerted the Imagawa family, who had been acting strangely before, from attacking.  Of course, Tokugawa Ieyasu sent an envoy to the Oda family¡¯s Qingzhou City.  However, the Oda family was busy continuing to conquer the Ise country area at this time, so Oda Nobunaga's reinforcements had not yet arrived.  The footsteps of winter are getting closer and closer, and the dark clouds of war are gradually shrouding Okazaki Castle.  Takeda Shingen did not expect that the Imagawa family would take the initiative to retreat. Instead, Tokugawa Ieyasu would risk the lives of his family and take the initiative to fight against the Takeda army.  Immediately, Takeda Shingen ordered Akiyama Harunobu and Amano Keinuki to launch operations in the north of Mikawa on October 27th.  By feinting to attack Tianfeng and operating in the area, he tried to make Tokugawa Ieyasu of Okazaki Castle surrender. His meticulous use of troops was really impressive.  If the above-mentioned areas fall, the Tokugawa retainers will inevitably be shaken and will be in dire straits.  "We'll see. Tokugawa Ieyasu decided to avoid fighting out of fear, and even voluntarily surrendered." People seemed to see Takeda Shingen's arrogance in the team.  It is true that the age difference between those in their fifties and those in their thirties began to be clearly reflected in the formation arrangements.  "Don't be anxious, we must wait for Oda's reinforcements." Tokugawa Ieyasu kept reproaching himself for being anxious in his heart, but he said to his retainers: "What are you whispering about? Now that I'm here, will I retreat? What if?  You must avoid the war. I will become a monk immediately. Do you want me to abandon the world and abandon the world?" In fact, the reason why the Imagawa family retreated is because they still have room to survive.  However, the Tokugawa family was located on the only way to Luoyang from the Takeda family, so there was no way to avoid it.  At a critical juncture, news finally came that Oda Nobunaga¡¯s reinforcements were about to arrive.  Three generals, Sakuma Morimasa, Hirate Toshihide, and Takigawa Kazumasu, are about to lead three thousand soldiers.  Tokugawa Ieyasu was determined to fight a decisive battle on the day when the reinforcements arrived, so he sent spies to the Toe and Mikawa areas to spread rumors: "Oda's reinforcements, 12,000 strong, have arrived towards Toe." In early December, March  Thousands of reinforcements finally arrived, and the decisive battle decided the fate of Tokugawa Ieyasu.Gradually approaching.  But at this time, Futama Castle, the frontal defense point of Okazaki Castle, fell on December 19.  The defenders were Nakane Masaru, Aoki Yoshitsugi, and Matsudaira Yasuyasu, but the Takeda Army's attack was very tenacious and clever, and Futama Castle was ultimately destroyed.  The people responsible for the Takeda family's attack on Futama Castle were Takeda Katsuyori, Takeda Nobutoyo, Anayama Meyuki and other direct generals. Takeda Shingen also came from time to time to order a strong attack, but it finally failed.  Finally, we adopted the suggestions of Shan County and Racecourse and switched to the method of cutting off the water source.  Futamata Castle built a tall reservoir on the river flowing to the west of the castle, and used pulleys to draw water from it, just like drawing water from a well.  Takeda put a lot of rafts upstream, covering the water surface, making it impossible for the water slide to fetch water smoothly.  Once the water source is cut off, no matter how brave the soldier is, he will not be able to continue fighting.  In order to prevent the city from falling, Tokugawa Ieyasu personally led 2,500 troops to come for reinforcements and advanced as far as Kanzaki Village. However, upon learning that the city had fallen, he immediately withdrew to Okazaki Castle.  Okazaki Castle has been completely exposed to the enemy.  The next day, the generals gathered in Tokugawa Ieyasu's tent in Okazaki Castle to discuss the military situation.  This time, in addition to Tokugawa retainers such as Sakai Tadashi, Ogasawara Nagatada, Matsudaira Ietada, Ishikawa Shumasa and other Tokugawa retainers, three generals from Oda also participated in the meeting.  Frankly speaking, the morale of the Tokugawa family is very low.  According to the information obtained this morning, it seems that Takeda Shingen still has no intention of starting a war with Tokugawa Ieyasu.  Perhaps because of the constant rumors of the arrival of Oda Nobunaga's reinforcements, as well as the strange actions of the Imagawa family's previous retreat, it played a role to some extent. It is said that Takeda Shingen has crossed the Nakagawa River of the Ministry of Justice and came to the East Mikawa.  "Nine of Oda's reinforcements have arrived in Okazaki, and I heard that there are still many Oda troops active in the Shirasuma area of ??Okazaki. Even if Okazaki Castle is captured, Oda Nobunaga's reinforcements will take advantage of our fatigue.  In addition, the Imagawa family on the far side cannot relax their vigilance. Instead of doing that, it is better to avoid Tokugawa Ieyasu and advance directly." Takeda Shingen expressed this view, so is it necessary for Tokugawa Ieyasu to get in trouble with them.  ?  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
