    Bonfires on summer nights attract countless bugs.  ¡ÑThe little bugs were attracted by the bonfire, flew over one after another, and landed at their feet.  Tokugawa Ieyasu sat on the bed and stared at the insects.  Just when the Takeda family was negotiating peace with the Imagawa family, Tokugawa Ieyasu was instigated by his retainers. Although he did not receive support from the Oda family, he took advantage of the Takeda family's gradual withdrawal from the Mikawa area and took the opportunity to occupy the concession area of ??the Takeda family.  area.  In fact, Tokugawa Ieyasu took a big risk by making such a move. After all, before the Takeda family occupied these areas, these areas belonged to the Imagawa family, so such a move by the Tokugawa family is likely to cause  The Imagawa family's revenge.  But even so, Tokugawa Ieyasu still had no choice. After all, with the reunification of the Imagawa family, the next goal of the Imagawa family is likely to be the Tokugawa family. In order to ensure the stability of the Mikawa area west of the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Ieyasu  After deciding to capture the Higashi Mikawa area, he would use this area as a transitional area for the confrontation with the Imagawa family.  With the continuous attacks of the Tokugawa family and the gradual retreat of the Takeda family, in the Higashi Mikawa area, only Nagashino Castle, guarded by the Kankan family of the Yamakata clan, has not yet been captured.  And tonight is the night before the Tokugawa family is about to launch an attack on Nagashino Castle.  "My lord, would you like to rest for a while? The annex of Kuma Castle has also calmed down." From behind the pampas grass, the face of Okubo Tadashi was quietly revealed.  "You go and have a rest first." Tokugawa Ieyasu said casually, flicking the bugs at his feet with his riding crop.  Tadashi slowly shook his head: "The Okubo family does not have a family motto to rest before the master." "So, you are here to urge me to sleep?" "You can say that." "Do you think anyone will come tonight?" "  This" Tadashi tilted his head and sat down opposite Tokugawa Ieyasu.  "I don't know." Tokugawa Ieyasu glanced at Tadashi.  Smiling bitterly.  "So. Lord, what are you waiting for?" "I'm waiting for the key to capture Nagashino Castle." "Oh?" Tadashi opened his eyes wide in surprise, "I don't know." "What time is it now?" "It's almost there.  It's midnight." "Oh? It's so late. I hope nothing happens." Tadashi added firewood to the campfire. He knew exactly who Tokugawa Ieyasu was waiting for before he came to guard him.  Tokugawa Ieyasu also understood Tadashi's thoughts and did not deliberately avoid him.  Suddenly, there was a noise near the wooden fence.  Just as Tokugawa Ieyasu said, "Go and have a look," Tadashi was already walking towards the noisy place.  "I'm not a spy. Let me see Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu." "It's so late. If you're not a spy, what else can you be? Tell me your name, tell me your name!" Outside the fence, four or five Ashigaru warriors were surrounding  A dark shadow lurks in the air, shouting in a group.  Zhongshi strode over and stood in front of the man.  The man was thin and small, wearing coarse clothes, with a hatchet hanging on his waist, like a common man working in the fields.  But he has sharp eyes and a free and capable manner.  At first glance, you can tell that he is not an ordinary person.  "Wait a minute, he may be the guest that my lord has been waiting for for a long time." Tadashi stopped the warriors.  He asked sharply: "Are you in charge of the Suga family?" "Your Excellency is" "Okubo Shichirozaemon Tadayo." The man still looked serious: "I, Natsume Gorozaemon Harisada." "I'll give it to you.  Introduction. Please come with me." Natsume bowed but said nothing.  He is a retainer of Sugami Sugawara, who pretended to defect to Takeda, and is now in Sakushou Castle.  He obviously came under Zhenneng's secret order and had to hide his identity from others.  Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't even want his personal guards to know about it.  When he came to Tokugawa Ieyasu, Natsume Goro said as expected: "Please reject the others." He looked at Tadashi and was not polite.  "No." Tadashi retorted, "I will never leave my lord for half a step. Don't worry, sometimes, I have no ears and no mouth." Tokugawa Ieyasu chuckled and said, "Is it okay, Goro?" "Since you don't  "You mind, why not?" "Okay, Tadashi, keep an eye on the area and don't let anyone get close." After Tokugawa Ieyasu said softly, he said sorry to Goro.  Gorozuo solemnly knelt on one knee in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu: "I will no longer be polite and go straight to the point. Is it imperative that I attack Nagashino?" "Yes." Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded immediately, and then said, "I have been here before.  "Have you considered the request of the envoy?" "Excuse me" Natsume Goro's eyes burned, "I want to ask you something first."" "Is this what you mean, or is it what your master said?  " "This is what everyone in the family means.  " "But it doesn't matter.  " "If the Takeda family completely withdraws from Mikawa and Toe, and curbs the Imagawa family's attack, can we be guaranteed to have the old territory?  " "Oh, don't worry, your people have always supported Meizu.  "Second, I hope that you will betroth the young lady to our young master Zhenchang."  " "Agui is betrothed to Zhenchang?  " Tokugawa Ieyasu gently closed his eyes. This matter had already been mentioned to Mrs. Tsukiyama and Agui, but they both strongly opposed it. "What?  "Goro Zuobi asked, "If you can agree to these two conditions, my lord will not only sacrifice Nagashino Castle, but also will definitely help you in this battle, even if you sacrifice your life.  " Tokugawa Ieyasu closed his eyes and nodded: "What will he do?  " "He will let people spread rumors that he has second thoughts about Takeda.  " "Does it make people think that he is interested in me, Tokugawa Ieyasu?  " "Exactly.  In that case, neither Captain Amari Zaemon who lives in Sakushou Castle nor Takeda Sama Suke Nobutoyo who lives in Kurose would dare to act rashly.  At that time, adults can use their hands and feet with confidence and boldness.  " Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded. Although Agui's extremely reluctant face kept appearing in his mind, he still said decisively: "Meisaku wants to sacrifice his life for me?  Okay, not only Agui, I will also give you three thousand new collars as a dowry for the young lady.  " Natsume Gorozaemon Harisada leaned out suspiciously: "Not only will you marry the lady over, but you will also give us a new territory?  " "Yes, I can't help but express my loyalty to Mei Zuo.  " "Thank you, sir.  "Gorozuo immediately lowered his head with respect, and even cried to himself. Tokugawa Ieyasu was very aware of Gorozuo's pain. Because. As a member of the Sanfang clan of the Yamakata family (also known as the Yamakata clan), Sugamisaku Sugata, the supervisor of the city, was able to  The retainers were troubled by the split: some believed that they should seek refuge with Tokugawa Ieyasu, while others expressed their loyalty to Takeda, so the family was divided into two factions. Those who believed that they should be loyal to Takeda believed that Shingen was still alive, while those who wanted to seek refuge with Tokugawa Ieyasu.  It was determined that Shingen was dead. Tokugawa Ieyasu knew this all too well, so in addition to letting people spread the news that Shingen was dead, he also sent a secret envoy to Zhennou before he confirmed that Shingen was dead.  Attack Nagashino Castle tomorrow and send people everywhere to declare that he, Tokugawa Ieyasu, will never harass the people with unjust tactics, let alone harm his retainers. Most people believe that Tokugawa Ieyasu will never do anything.  They regarded Sadano as an ally from the beginning, but in fact, it was the secret envoy who first caught Sadano's displeasure at the invasion of the Takeda Army. Even so, the retainers did not regard Tokugawa Ieyasu as one of their own.  For example, Natsume Goro was suspicious of Tokugawa Ieyasu. He insisted on asking Tokugawa Ieyasu to marry Agui to Sadashi. Seeing Goro Zuo crying, Tokugawa Ieyasu signaled with his eyes.  Okubo Tadashi came over to add firewood: "Since you are an important official of the American writer.  You should know who the hostage sent to the Takeda family by the Suga family is, right?  " Gorozuo seemed to be ashamed of his sadness and said with a smile: "It's very clear.  It is A Feng, the wife of young master Zhenchang.  "    "how old?  " "Fifteen years old" Wu Langzuo emphasized his tone. "We don't want to abandon the young lady and marry Miss Agui.  Since they are allies, they need to be consolidated by kinship. This is the wish of everyone in the family.  " "But once you form an alliance with me, the Takeda family will kill the young lady.  " "We have already made that preparation and have taken corresponding measures.  " "Corresponding measures?  " "We pretended to let the people of the same clan take care of Suga Rokubei's adopted daughter Afeng's marriage to the young master, and then sent her there.  " "In other words, the person sent is not the real young lady?  "    "yes.  Now that we are allies, let's speak out.  In fact, Afeng is my daughter, but she is also the adopted daughter of Rokubei" Gorozuo closed his mouth and laughed. Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded slightly, and he finally understood why Gorozuo was in tears.  . If Sadano acted as Tokugawa Ieyasu's internal agent, the young and energetic Katsuyori would most likely kill Kaede in a rage. Only then did Goro Zuo suddenly say: "I hope you don't think that I was doing this for my daughter just now.  Weeping over the tragic fate.  "    "I know.  But even if you cry for your daughter, I won't laugh at you.  " "Forgive me.  " "Gorozaemon, war is so cruel.  ¡±  "Yes." "Not only are the samurai fighting to the death, but women and the citizens also have to join in." "Yes." "Afeng was still a girl when she went to Takeda, right?" "Yes. When we explained the matter to her,  The whole story was to let her pretend to be the young lady After hearing this, she comforted her crying mother, saying that she deserved to die for her family, and then she set off on this road of no return. "Alas! She is indeed your daughter, what a good girl.  Fierce woman! Tadashi, bring me some paper." From time to time, the shadows of Kame and Kaede flashed in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes, and he was filled with guilt.  Ah Gui, Ah Feng, forgive me. One day, I will let women in the world live a peaceful life.  For that day, you took the pen and ink, and Tokugawa Ieyasu wrote an oath without hesitation to marry Agui and give three thousand kan territory to the master.  Gorozaemon also took out the oath signed by Guan Mimasaku with a blood seal and handed it to Tokugawa Ieyasu.  Since then, Tokugawa Ieyasu has successfully captured Nagashino Castle.
