    Asahina nodded thoughtfully, but secretly looked at the expressions of the two brothers Okabe Masatsuna and Okabe Motonobu. The Okabe clan was the first of the Kudo clan of the Fujiwara Minami family and a great martial arts family.  The Okabe family's status as the powerful heirloom in the system is similar to that of the Chaohina family, so Asahina Nobuyuki pays relatively more attention to their family.  Okabe Chujiro is a disciple of Okabe Masatsuna, and he is still a young man who has just turned 20. Based on his past experience, he can never say such an organized thing. Asahina Nobuyuki thinks that the greater possibility is that the Okabe family  The two brothers were instructed to use the mouth of this insignificant boy to express some opinions. Even if he said the wrong thing and caused trouble, he could get rid of it without getting into any trouble.  "What a cunning bastard!" Asahina Shinuki cursed secretly, thinking that you are the only one who thinks that my Asahina family is the bare commander, so he glanced at his own Asahina Motochi.  Asahina Motochi jumped out knowingly and said: "In the past six months, wars have continued in Suruga Province. Affected by the massive invasion of the Takeda Army, Suruga was shattered and the people were displaced. The ally Sagami Hojo clan was trapped in Odawara Castle, leaving the Tokaido trade route.  There is almost no blocking of message transmission, so you guys probably don＊t know an important piece of information yet!§ ※What information?§ ※His Majesty the Lord Mayor of Edo Castle not only conquered the Musashi Kingdom easily, but also swept through it one after another.  The Shimono Kingdom and the Shimono Kingdom have subdued those arrogant Kanto warriors. His Highness the Shogunate has allowed His Majesty the Jinfu Lord to serve as the new generation of Kanto Lord, which means that he will soon ascend the throne as the Edo Lord. You all know what this means.  What?" Asahina Motochi looked at the samurai in the room with a strange expression.  There was a gasping sound in the room. Seeing that the heat was almost under control, Asahina Nobuyuki whispered: "Perhaps it won't be long before the lord in Kakegawa Castle will go to Edo Castle to join His Highness the Lord Mayor.  It＊s unclear how much bloodshed will be caused in Suruga Country, but do we still feel confused because the future is unknown? " "His! This" Okabe Masazuna's expression changed and he immediately returned to Furui's expression.  , there were countless waves in his heart, and he looked at the samurai in the room with their mouths wide open in shock.  You can guess what words they are thinking about, and the shock in their hearts must not be less than his.  Asahina Nobuyuki seemed to know a lot of inside information. As he peeled off the cocoon, the people of the Suruga country, who had been blocked from information for more than half a year, learned about the changes in Kanto. Compared with half a year ago, the country that only lost Musashi still had the strength to resist. In the past six months,  The Ashikaga family, Urajo Susushi, rampaged through most of Kanto with lightning speed, shocking the Suruga samurai so much that they were dumbfounded and did not dare to move for a long time.  "Wouldn't it bethat way" Several warriors muttered a few words vaguely, expressing the turbulent emotions in their hearts with expressions that looked like they had seen ghosts on their faces.  This piece of information was like rain after a long drought for all the surrendered ministers of the Imagawa family. Neither the Ashikaga clan nor the Kanto Ashikaga clan could conceal the fact that the Imagawa clan was truly a clan member of the Ashikaga Yoshitoki clan, and their relationship was second only to the Mikawa Kira clan.  A close relative of one family. ? Almost everyone can be sure that the Imagawa family will definitely go to Edo Castle, and it is also certain that Takeda Shingen will never dare to stop it easily. So the choices of these Imagawa family's surrenders seem to suddenly add a shortcut to the south.  Maybe they no longer have to worry about the reputation of the Takeda family being stabbed in the back. As long as they are manipulated properly, they can evolve into a loyal minister who will not hesitate to go to the savior to save the country.  Thinking of this, not only the samurai present cheered, but even the gloomy Okabe Masatsuna was very excited. This was the first time he showed a bright smile in more than half a year. The heavy pressure was like a Mount Fuji pressing on his head.  It would crush his spine together, but everything seems to be different today.  Asahina Nobuyuki doesn＊t lie.  At least he won't lie to a grasshopper on a rope, a co-conspirator who is closely related to the same origin and participated in Rikiri's plan. Something as big as Ashikaga Kanto Ashikaga becoming Kanto Ashikaga will surely spread all over the world very soon. All he needs to do is send a few confidants.  Owari Province can verify the authenticity by asking around.  Asahina Nobuyuki would never be stupid enough to deceive them with false news that was destined to be exposed. Selling out his accomplices would not do him any good. It would only make Takeda Shingen more fearful and wary of him. In the final analysis, foreigners will never  To be inferior to others, all the retainers who guard the famous family are not willing to be like foreigners.  They are not those insignificant Chinese people who yearn for freedom.  Many of these people have been wild-tempered for hundreds of years, and some of them are even from the evil gangs composed of bandits and bandits in the Kamakura period. They just want to live a different life and are not willing to be the bound family members.  , this tiring person is the representative of most small country lords.  ※These generational retainers are all descendants of common people who have some family backgrounds and even come from the famous Wu family. Their families have served the same family for hundreds of years.Now, having them suddenly drop down a level is like going from the regular army to the reserve army, although it is more relaxed and free from being bound by so many rules.  But I always feel uncomfortable in my heart.  I dare not say that all of the Imagawa family's genealogy was passed down from the Kamakura period, but at any rate, there were some genealogy retainers who followed the two brothers Imagawa Nor and Imagawa Sadashi during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The famous samurai families of hundreds of years have come out.  Crossing Kyushu to explore the subject and Suruga Enjie to protect it, they are even stronger than the relatively declining Ashikaga clan.  The two families gradually became estranged due to different circumstances.  The Imagawa family, who followed the Hosokawa family's path, could make all the difference in Tokaido, while the Kamizuki Ashikaga family could only stay together with their fellow sufferer Owari Shiba, who was in charge of the pen, until the past ten years, when they were at war with each other and became violent, so much so that  Ashikaga Yoshitoki, who was about to succeed the Kanto Lord, was also forced to use "Shangluo" to avoid the coercion of the Imagawa family.  The tragic death of Ashikaga Yoshitoki's eldest brother Kira Yoshigo in Yamiyama was also a good deed done by Imagawa Yoshimoto. It is unjustifiable to say that this discord is not certain at all, but now the situation has undergone a shocking reversal, and Ashikaga Yoshitoki has become the powerful Imagawa clan.  Weak, the fact that Ashikaga Yoshi was unwilling to give in does not mean that the Imagawa family really has the backbone to refuse to give in.  As long as the Imagawa family really takes the initiative to surrender and meet each other as a vassal, Ashikaga Yoshitoki will not be able to do anything to him no matter how angry he is. The Imagawa family is really not the stupid Ashikaga Fujimasa or the insignificant Oda family.  , the Imagawa family still has a lot of loyal members, and the Imagawa family is not a useless fool, it's just that his wise and powerful father died too early and didn't have the chance to teach him well.  Although his political skills are sloppy and naive, and his military strategy is still in a blank state of development, he still has the advantage of being smart, studious, and proficient in etiquette and culture. He has extraordinary attainments in both Waka, Cuju, tea ceremony, and calligraphy.  And he has excellent internal affairs skills cultivated by his father. He only needs to cultivate basic political concepts and handling methods to become an outstanding talent.  If the Imagawa family really joins the Kanto family, their depressed family members will be able to stand up and take charge. Maybe they can launch a major counterattack to fight back the invading Takeda family. I believe Takeda Shingen, who is celebrating his victory and triumph, will be very happy.  Kuai realizes this, but even if he thinks about this contradiction, there is nothing he can do.  I believe any samurai can see that Takeda Shingen would not dare to offend the Kanto public easily.  In the combined battle, he was beaten back and forth and had almost no power to fight back. He used tricks to deal with Echigo several times and was defeated by his tricks. In turn, Anma used a move at the critical moment to almost kill Takeda.  The head on Shingen's neck has long ago completely extinguished Takeda Shingen's thoughts of fighting against Kanto Lord. At this time, he would never dare to provoke Kanto Lord.  The Duke of Kanto is eyeing the Suruga Kingdom.  If Takeda Shingen dares to make big moves, he is seeking death. Doing nothing is committing suicide slowly. All he can do is speed up the attack on Tokaido and strive to gradually dismantle the Suruga sects through expansion and transfer of enfeoffments. But in this way  It is still unclear how many changes it will cause. According to this situation, the Takeda family will probably not be able to live smoothly.  The most indispensable thing in this world is smart people. Even the yellow-haired and blue-eyed Southern Barbarians they look down upon can build enviable ships and destroy their country.  There is no shortage of smart people in the Imagawa retainers group, but some people can see some changes clearly but lack the decisiveness. They always look forward and worry about the consequences and miss good opportunities again and again.  But this time it was really different. It was revealed that the Takeda family had shown that these people were determined to burn the boat. Seeing that the Takeda family's ship, which was luxurious on the surface but hidden dangers everywhere, was in danger, these samurai immediately began to figure out how to use better opportunities to betray  , the smart samurai has guessed that Asahina Nobuyuki probably has a connection to the Ashikaga family, so that he can get the news first when no one is aware of the changes in Kanto.  "I vaguely remember that Suruga Morden is an old acquaintance of Yamamoto Sado Morden! Sado Morden sat in Omi and continuously defeated two powerful daimyo, Asakura and Asai. His strength is unfathomable!" After Okabe Motobu's reminder, let  Many samurai present remembered that Asahina Motonaga had a great debt of gratitude to Yamamoto Tokiyuki. Asahina Nobuki also studied military strategy and city building techniques with him for a period of time, and he could barely be considered a teacher and friend.  This relationship made the samurai present have other thoughts. Asahina Nobuhiro had probably secretly surrendered to the Ashikaga clan, climbed the big tree and came back to act as a secondary soldier to reversely mobilize their group. This was  The rhythm of making great achievements and receiving rewards.  Immediately, some samurai's eyes turned red with envy.  Everyone likes to hug their thighs, but some thighs unfortunately cannot be hugged because they have serious conflicts with their own interest classes and interest orientations. The samurai of the Suruga Forefathers are extremely reluctant to join the Takeda family. If they are allowed to join the Takeda family now,  It is almost impossible for the Matsudaira family.  But Ashikaga Yoshitoki is not among them. Taking refuge with him is definitely in line with the interests of the samurai of the Imagawa family tree.Nor will they betray their own interests.  "I can still recall the figure of the lame, one-eyed samurai wandering outside Sunfu Castle. Who would have thought that in less than twenty years, life's circumstances would have changed so much!" Kazuyama's Yuan was extremely envious.  , wishing that he was the lame ronin who was recruited to Sanhe.  The excited samurai exchanged topics about Kanto in low voices, trying to get more useful information from Asahina Nobuyuki's mouth. Several members of the Asahina family were also happy to enjoy the treatment of being surrounded by stars. Ashikaga Yoshitoki's  The great success shocked and inspired many samurai's fading confidence, and some samurai began to consider the advantages of Ashikaga Yoshitoki.  First of all, the Ashikaga family is very powerful. Its elite men are brave and good at fighting. It is not an exaggeration to call it the strongest in Kanto. As for the generals, they have a luxurious combination. Ashikaga Yoshitoki himself is a top military general, commanding more than a dozen troops.  He has never lost a joint battle under his command in 2008. Teru Uesugi has been leading the army for more than ten years and has never failed in a joint battle under his personal command. The remaining generals all have the strength of Hojo Tsusunari.  No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the Takeda family can resist it.  Secondly, Ashikaga Yoshitoki has always had a good reputation in the Kinai and Eastern countries. Thirdly, he respects the laws and traditional order of the shogunate. He dominates nearly ten countries including the Kanto region and still maintains a respectful attitude towards the shogunate. This alone can definitely make a big impact.  Several generations of family governors from Kamakura Lord to Furukawa Lord.  At that time, Kamakura K身k身 started with Ashikaga Ujimitsu, the second-generation K身k身.  They had to make a fuss with their brother Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to snatch the position of general of the conquest of barbarians. At that time, the actual territory owned by the Kamakura Duke was very small. They were able to lead Kanto purely by relying on their bloodline status to appeal to the people of Kanto. However, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu  That's not the case. The direct collar he has is large enough to scare most samurai. It is really not easy to stick to the original oath like this.  ※Once again, as long as you don＊t resolutely go against him, you will eventually be forgiven. In the early years, he also liked to use the form of serial killings to intimidate.  With rich experience in governing, most of the hostility in their tempers has gradually been eliminated. The punishment for most opponents is nothing more than reduction of seals, transfers, and exile. Only those who have committed the most heinous crimes will consider hanging. As for more ruthless basic measures such as beheading and quartering,  Rarely used, this change seems inconspicuous, but in fact it is very important to the Suruga Forefathers.  It shows that the new master's temper is becoming gentler, and he can be more tolerant and understanding of the Suruga ancestors who have lost their moral integrity. At least these samurai don't have to worry about being boiled in warm water, or being sent to the front lines to die.  , which already made them extremely satisfied.  Before leaving, Asahina Nobuyuki said a meaningful conclusion: "Many things in Kanto are about to change. Is the Tokaido still far away?" Takeda Shingen, who was far away in Tsugasakikan, did not know the small changes that had taken place in Sunfu.  This does not mean that the Kai samurai were not vigilant against the Suruga Forefathers. Takeda Nobushige was clearly aware of the strange movements of the Suruga Forefathers. As the first Lord of Sunfu Castle who occupied Suruga, his duty was to keep an eye on them.  Follow Suruga's lead and observe the changes in Toe Country and Izu Country to report the latest information at any time, laying a solid foundation for the next expansion.  "Should I tell my brother? But the town master" Takeda Nobushige was confused and shaken while holding Ashikaga Yoshitoki's autograph letter.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki, who was about to ascend the throne, admitted in his letter that Takeda Yoshinobu had been successfully transferred by him. He originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity of going south to Kanto to open up the situation and appoint Takeda Yoshinobu as the governor of the Takeda family, but he did not expect the speed with which Takeda Shingen would act.  So fast.  A devastating disaster hit Takeda Yoshinobu before he was fully prepared. It is indeed not wrong to say that he rebelled. At most, it was just a matter of keeping the information secret and was not discovered by Takeda Shingen at the first time.  Although the news of his nephew's failed rebellion attempt and his confinement and suicide was shocking, it still did not make Takeda Nobushige feel conflicted and his confidence was severely damaged. The following letter boldly proposed that he intends to support his legitimate son Takeda Rokurojiro and inherit the Takeda clan as a family governor.  plan.  The letter clearly told Takeda Nobushige that his brother was ridiculed by the world for his capriciousness and unfaithfulness. If he was allowed to continue his unscrupulous actions, the Takeda family would only be humiliated and destroyed.  "This is a warning to me that if I don't cooperate, do you mean to let the Takeda family perish?" Takeda Nobushige frowned slightly. He is no longer the person he was twenty years ago who only knew how to prove himself with loyalty and bravery, and tried his best to assist the family governor in exchange for  A young man who came to be understood and cared for by his elder brother, Takeda Shingen was no longer the young family governor who was willing to entrust his wife to his younger brother.  People's hearts are always going to change. Twenty years have transformed the young and determined Takeda Harunobu into the cunning and cunning Takeda Shingen who knows how to assess the situation. Takeda Nobushige is also quietly making subtle changes. He doesn't even remember how he dealt with it.  Takeda Shingen's loyalty became blurred, perhaps at the moment when he received Ashikaga Yoshi's handwriting in Shinano a few years ago. ?He stood up and walked to the bookcase, gently opened the secret compartment and took out a scroll. Takeda Nobunaga held the painting and sighed: "In the Battle of Fujigawa, Minamoto Yoritomo and Takeda Nobuyoshi teamed up to defeat Taira Nobusei This was an early hint from His Highness Kakata  My own ambition also hints at the future direction of the Takeda family" Speaking later, Takeda Nobuyoshi's voice suddenly turned low and his expression became lonely. It was precisely after the end of the Fujikawa battle that Takeda Nobuyoshi, who felt that his prestige had greatly increased, once had a relationship with him.  Minamoto Yoritomo competed for the pillars of the Genji clan, but was ultimately defeated by Minamoto Yoritomo's superb tactics. A powerful group of people, including Kagami H身k身, Ogasawara Nagakiyo and his son, defected, completely eliminating the opportunity to compete for the pillars of the Genji clan.  Then Yoritomo Minamoto made a plan to ostracize the Kai Gen clan, assassinating Takeda Nobuyoshi's eldest son Ichijo Tadayori, exiled Itagaki Kanenobu for violating the imperial edict, and executed his younger brother Yoshinobu Yasuda for treason, and also charged him with the same treason.  The legitimate heir to the family governor, Yugi Takeda, was executed. He strongly supported Kagami Tohmitsu and Ogasawara Nagakiyo, the father and son who opposed Nobuyoshi of the Takeda family, and forced Takeda Nobuyoshi to death in fear.  Takeda Nobushige was familiar with that period of history. Their ancestor, Takeda Nobumitsu, was originally a branch of the Izawa Nobumitsu family. After the death of the family governor heir who inherited the Kawachi Genji "Yi" character, his lineage was passed on with "陓" as the common character.  Coming down, the difficulty is not enough for outsiders to understand.  Therefore, he was very worried about standing on the wrong team again and causing the Takeda family to suffer a greater blow than this. Although the annihilation of this family could not wipe out the blood of the Takeda family, the cessation of the direct line also meant the cessation of inheritance. Another person who came from a separate family  How meaningful it is for "Iza Nobumitsu" to succeed him.  Walking to the terrace and looking at the night view of the declining Sunfu Castle, only a few lights were still on. Takeda Nobushige looked melancholy, and after a long time he sighed: "Should I choose loyalty and support my brother to continue fighting, or should I choose reason?  , accept the olive branch from His Highness"
