    In the racecourse of Kariya Castle in Mikawa Kingdom.  ¡ÝUnder the scorching sun, the sea breeze stirred up billowing dust, and both men and horses were covered in dust.  "Drive! Drive!" On the left is the moat and on the right is a small wooden house.  Under the scorching sun, everything was listless, and the green leaves on the river bank also changed color.  On the racecourse, riding a four-year-old deer-mane horse galloping wildly, was the head of the Mizuno family, Mizuno Nobumoto.  Today he received two guests.  After talking secretly with the two guests for half an hour, the guests left immediately.  Since then, Mizuno Nobumoto has been in a depressed mood. The content of the previous talks made it difficult for him to make a decision, so today he simply rode a horse on the racecourse.  "Drive! Drive!" Mizuno Shingen raised his whip, whipped the war horse, and ran wildly on the racecourse under the scorching sun.  He was soaked all over.  Normally, he would run to the salt shore and let the sea breeze dry his sweat and blow away his inner boredom.  But today, he became more and more irritable as he ran.  The messenger's words were like dust on his forehead, mixed with a cloying smell that made him deeply unhappy.  The envoy is a retainer of the Imagawa family.  The tone of their conversation reminded Mizuno Nobumoto of his father Mizuno Tamasa, neither humble nor overbearing, speaking slowly and clearly.  This is the family tradition of the Imagawa family. Going on a mission is not only to convey the wishes of the Imagawa family, but also to give the other party irresistible pressure.  The listeners often cannot figure out whether the messenger is conveying messages on behalf of the master or expressing his or her own opinions.  And this time, the messenger from the Imagawa family arrived with only one purpose, which was to hope that the Mizuno family could leave the Oda family and join the Imagawa family.  Regarding the Imagawa family¡¯s request for an envoy, Mizuno Nobumoto sent the envoy away on the pretext that he needed to discuss with his retainers before replying.  But the annoyance in my heart still lingers.  "How should I be busy?" If it were like a few years ago.  Choose between the Oda family and the Matsudaira family.  Mizuno Nobumoto was naturally supporting the Oda family as before, but this time, after the Oda family's previous alliance with the Tokugawa family was defeated by the Takeda family, Mizuno Nobumoto had to reconsider.  Judging from the current situation, if the Takeda family were to kill him (he did not know the news of Takeda Shingen's death at this time), based on the Oda family's previous performance, naturally they would not send reinforcements to support the Mizuno family.  But just at this time, the Imagawa family's messenger arrived and told him that the Imagawa family would lend a helping hand.  The words of the Imagawa family messenger meant two things. One of them was naturally to send troops to support the Mizuno family. The other one made Mizuno Nobumoto a little shocked. It was obvious that after the Takeda family launched a massive attack on Mikawa  Now, the Imagawa family will also take action against Mikawa Kingdom, or rather.  The Imagawa family was about to fight back against their previous concession in the Mikawa area.  And it was precisely because of the defeat of the Oda family, the imminent arrival of the Takeda family, and the sudden intervention of the Imagawa family that Mizuno Nobumoto found it difficult to make a decision.  So.  This time on horseback, he circled the horse farm six times. When he was riding in front of the cabin, a figure rushed over and stood in front of him.  "Brother!" the man shouted sharply.  Mizuno Shingen was startled. He tightened the reins suddenly and kicked off the horse's belly.  "Idiot!" Mizuno Shingen almost fell to the ground and staggered when he jumped off the horse.  "Tokuro, you are reckless, what should you do if you are stepped on by a horse?" "No." The other party replied firmly, "Brother, I have something to tell you!" The person who came was Mizuno Shingen's younger brother, Tokuro Nobu.  close.  "If you have anything to say, you have to wait until I rein in the horse. Fujiku, don't be too willful." Mizuno Nobumoto said to his younger brother.  "No. Brother, you are willful. How did you reply to the Imagawa family's messenger?" Mizuno Nobumoto gritted his teeth.  He didn't lose his temper like usual.  He glanced at the servant and threw the reins to the servant, "You come here just because of this fuss?" "Of course, this is a major matter for the Mizuno family." "No. Not only for the Mizuno family, this is for the Tokugawa family.  It's also a matter of life and death." Mizuno Shingen wiped the sweat from his face and said, "I know. I understand your thoughts." "I heard that you told the messenger that you should think about it before you respond, right?  Listen to your plan! " "Of course I have a plan!" Mizuno Nobumoto did not want to show weakness in front of his brother, and said deliberately and seriously: "It's too hot here, let's talk under the big camphor tree over there."  He took the lead and walked slowly towards the camphor tree.  The horse was shaking so hard just now that he could feel the ground shaking.  It seemed that Tokuro Nobuchi was determined to compete with his brother, so he followed Mizuno Shingen to the shade of the tree.  Mizuno Nobumoto sat down: "It's so hot!" Nobugen stared at his brother tightly, showing no sign of weakness: "I'm not afraid of you attacking Ieyasu. I'm just afraid of you joining this meaningless war.  So that flesh and blood can be destroyed,Lost his life in vain.  Why didn't you explicitly reject the Imagawa family's messenger?  I want to hear what my brother thinks.  " Tokugawa Ieyasu's biological mother Yu Tai is the sister of Tokuro Nobuchi, so the Mizuno family is a relative of the Tokugawa family, but the Mizuno family has now taken refuge with the Oda family. Previously, it was precisely because the Mizuno family was an Oda family  As his subordinate, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was getting stronger, did not take action against the Mizuno family for the time being. Mizuno Nobumoto laughed tirelessly above the two brothers, but said: "You said it was a meaningless sacrifice.  ?  "    "right.  "The young and energetic Tokuro Nobuchi nodded and continued: "I think it is extremely stupid to participate in this kind of war that will not bring us any benefits, and thus deepen the hatred with the Tokugawa family.  " "Extremely stupidhaha.  What you said is interesting.  In your opinion, should we seek refuge with the Oda family or the Imagawa family?  " "Don't take refuge in anyone!  We are not Oda or Imagawa, we are Mizuno!  "Fujikuro Nobika has always disapproved of the Mizuno family joining the Oda family. Now that he sees that his brother seems to be abandoning the Oda family and switching to the Imagawa family, he is even more opposed. "That being said, look at it.  my name.  Mizuno Shingen¡¯s ¡®xin¡¯ comes from Shinhide, and ¡®yuan¡¯ comes from Yoshimoto.  Although Lord Gimoto has been killed by Oda Nobunaga, the son of Lord Nobutohide, the death of Imagawa Rei, the son of Lord Gimoto should not be underestimated!  " "If you take these into consideration, it is the best policy not to join any party.  " Mizuno Shingen said sharply: "Childish!  There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.  Now that the time has come when two tigers are fighting each other, it is impossible to remain neutral and wait and see what happens.  " He lowered his voice and continued, "What's more, at this time, the Takeda family has invaded the Mikawa Kingdom in a large scale, and is about to kill my family. If you don't choose a supporter at this time, when will you wait?  You shouldn't understand why.  " "I don't have the slightest idea-" "You still don't understand?  "Mizuno Shingen suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled bitterly, "I'll say it again.  We should all let go of our emotions at this time.  Even I don't like Oda and the Imagawa family at all.  But there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. You can only choose one. Now it¡¯s time to make another choice.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
