Just when the Imagawa family sent troops to Anxiang Castle, Takeda Haruno also led his army through the captured Imagawa family's northern defense line, and detoured toward the important town in the eastern part of the Imagawa family, Xingguoji Castle.

"Damn it! What is Sanada Yukitaka doing?" Takeda Haruno held the battle report he had just received and cursed fiercely. Obviously, Takeda Haruno was very annoyed by Sanada Yukitaka's defeat. "Sana Yukitaka claimed to be 'attack of the siege', but he actually lost to the teenage master Oda Yoshi! He is so bastard!"

"Brother!" Takeda Nobuhima felt the situation was not good and said, "Mr. Yukitaka was defeated in Anxiang Castle, and nearly half of his troops were lost. I am afraid he would be unable to compete with Imakawa's army for Anxiang Castle! Should I send some reinforcements to support Master Sanada?"

"Yeah!" Takeda Haruno pondered for a moment, "Finance!"

"I am here!" The horse farm letter room responded and left.

"In addition to the troops stationed in various places, how many troops can be mobilized?" asked Haruno Takeda.

"There are about 1,500 people left! It is stationed in Iida Castle, and the leading general is Lord Nori! This army was sent by the master to deal with the bandits in Iida Castle!" Nobuya Mabashi replied.

"Okay! Let Nori lead his army to help Sanada Yukitaka and tell Yukitaka to take down Anxiang City! Otherwise... Humph! He won't have to come back!" Takeda Haruki said.

"Hi!" The horse court Xinfang received the order and left.

At this time, Imakawa Yoshimoto returned to Junfu Castle with great pride...

As soon as Imakawa Yoshimoto came into the city, he received a news that was enough to scare him and fall off his horse!

"Master, Master! The big thing is not good!" A soldier rode his horse and rushed from the east gate. When he saw Imakawa Yoshimoto from afar, he couldn't wait to shout, obviously it was urgent! "Tada's army approached Xingguoji Castle! Xingguoji Castle is in danger!"

"What!!?" Imakawa Yoshimoto's originally proud fat face was instantly frozen, "Nonsense! How could Takeda Jun suddenly appear in Xingguoji Castle!"

At this time, another soldier rushed from the north gate, "Report!... The Takeda army attacked the northern defense line of our family last night. The entire army of the defense line was destroyed, and the chief general, Natsume Yoshinobu, was killed!!"

What!! Imakawa Yoshimoto's eyes turned black and he fell off his horse!

"Master!!" The Imakawa family's retainers behind him were in a panic...

When Kawa Yoshimoto woke up leisurely, he was already lying on the soft couch in the bedroom of Tianshou Pavilion, "Tada Haruno! Very good!!!" This is the first sentence Imagawa Yoshimoto said after opening his eyes.

"Master! Should I let Lord Chongfu retreat and return to the rescue? After all, Xingguo Temple City is an important eastern town of our family!" Lian Long asked in the question.

Imakawa Yoshimoto shook his head and said, "No! The Takeda family's surprise attack on the northern defense line of our family was obviously planning. Our army was outside, and if we returned thousands of miles to help, we would be exhausted. However, the Takeda family's army was waiting for work. As one went up and down, our army would be defeated!"

"What should I do?" The retainers were in chaos. They usually had the idea of ​​Taiyuan Xuezhai. Now that Taiyuan Xuezhai is not here, the retainers don't know what to do!

"Give up Xingguoji Temple Castle, and all the defenders along the line retreat to the front line of Jun Mansion!" Imakawa Yoshimoto made a bold decision in the absence of Xuezhai in Taiyuan. "At present, only the only way to give up Xingguoji Temple Castle to defend the dead, and wait until Chongfu captured Xisanhe and returned to the army to fight the Takeda army again!"

"What the Lord said is extremely true!" The retainers agreed!

At this time, Taiyuan Xuezhai, who was already in Okazaki Castle, was not aware of the crisis that our family suffered. Matsuhira Hiroi led the remaining ministers of the Songhei family out of the city to welcome him for ten miles, showing great respect, but Taiyuan Xuezhai did not agree with this. Taiyuan Xuezhai looked down on villains like Matsuhira Hiroi the most, but the two families joined forces, Taiyuan Xuezhai had to keep the proper politeness to Matsuhira Hiroi, "I'm here to welcome him!"

"You are polite to Lord Chongfu!" Matsuhira Hiroyo smiled flatteringly, "I wonder how many soldiers and horses Lord Chongfu has brought this time?"

"10,000 people! I wonder if Lord Guangyi is satisfied?" said Xuezhai, Taiyuan.

"What's good about this! Our family can also send 2,000 troops! In this way, our army can reach a prosperity of 12,000 people! With the strength of our army and the strategy of Lord Chongfu, Anxiang City and Xisanhe River will definitely be recovered!" Matsuhira Hiroyoshi said happily.

"Since that's the case, soldiers are very fast! Let's march into Anxiang City quickly!" Taiyuan Xuezhai was a little impatient with Matsuhira's flattery.

"Okay!" Matsuhei Hiroyo nodded repeatedly, "What Lord Chongfu said is very true. Guangyi will order troops to come out!"

………………………………………

At night, Imakawa and the Matsuhei coalition arrived at the east end of Kotosaka...

"Master Chongfu! My brother was caught in the trick of Master Oda Yoshi, and unfortunately died! It's already night, and Hiroyuki is afraid that Master Oda Yoshi will use tricks again! It's better to camp and rest for a night before entering Anxiang City at dawn!" Hiroyuki Matsuhei was afraid of the second battle in Kotosaka that year!

"What Master Guangyi said is very much! We don't go to Xiaodouban, we will walk around!" said Xuezhai, Taiyuan.

"Why is this?" Matsuhei was puzzled in a broad sense.

"Hiyoshi Hiroki should know that Sanada Yukitaka was defeated by Anxiang City!" Taiyuan Xuezhai said with a smile, "Now Sanada Yukitaka is in the west of Kotosaka. Our army advances from Kotosaka to intersect with him. Although Sanada Yukitaka has fewer troops, our purpose is Anxiang City! Before capturing Anxiang City, I don't want to have any troubles!"

Matsuhira said in a broad sense, "It's up to Lord Chongfu's wishes!"

Anxiang City Tianshou Pavilion...

Before I fell asleep, I received a letter from Hattori Hanzo...

What?! I was very surprised! Imakawa and the Matsuhei coalition forces walked around and did not pass Xiaodouzaka! Then my arrangement in Xiaodouzaka would have been in vain, and the Imakawa army's move was beyond my expectations. It was impossible to slow down the Imakawa army's speed! "The leader is actually Taiyuan Xuezhai!" This is the news that surprised me even more, "It seems that Imakawa Yoshimoto is determined to win the Nishisan River and Anxiang City!"

"Master! I just received the news that Haruno Takeda ordered his brother Noburi Takeda to send 1,500 troops to support Yukitaka Sanada!" Hietsuki ran in panting.

I couldn't help but shook my head and smiled bitterly, and handed the letter in my hand to Hietsu.

After seeing the story, Masahide Higashi was shocked, "It's dangerous! In this way, Anxiang Castle is about to face the siege of Takeda family and Imakawa and Matsue families. Takeda army has more than 4,500 people, and Imakawa and Matsue troops have as many as 12,000 people. How can Anxiang Castle resist the current combat power! Alas! Stop!"

………………………………………

Suddenly, I laughed! Hietsumasaki was puzzled, "Why did the Lord laugh suddenly?"

"Actually, the situation is not so bad on the surface. You forgot that the relationship between the Takeda family and the Imakawa family is hostile!" I explained with a smile, "We can make some moves from it, so that the Takeda army and the Imakawa army will kill each other! We will make profits from it!"

"But Taiyuan Xuesai and Sanada Yukitaka are not easy people!" Hietsumasa expressed his concerns.

"That's why we have to plan well!" I am very confident. When facing panicked subordinates, the superiors must show their strong confidence to appease the uneasy emotions of their subordinates! Otherwise, if we are in chaos before the battle, we will lose even worse! I understand this very much!

"Collection everyone! Let's hold a meeting overnight to plan!" I said to Lai Masahisa.

"Hi!" Hietsuhide retreated.

A moment later, the generals of Hitomasa Hiroshi, Shibata Katsuya, and Hinasuka Kojiki rushed over!

"It seems that everyone is not sleeping!" I smiled slightly. After briefly explaining the current situation, everyone frowned and fell into deep thought, and time seemed to have frozen.

I broke the silence and said, "I summon everyone to discuss together how to provoke a conflict between Takeda's army and Imakawa army, so that they can kill each other, so that we can make profits from it! Everyone express their opinions, so don't worry about anything!"

"The Lord's intention is... to use a plan of alienation to let the Imakawa army and Takeda army kill each other?" Shibata Katsuya spoke.
Chapter completed!
