"What happened to Miss Ryuko...I'm very sorry." Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't understand the entanglement between Ryuko and Yu Qiupei, and thought that Ryuko would be accepted as a concubine by Yu Qiupei soon, "It caused trouble to Yu Qiupei's army."
So many casualties... I'm also very sorry."
"I don't want to hear an apology, so just tell me why you want to leave the city." Yu Qiuping shook his head and knocked on the tatami, "How many times have I told you not to leave the city, my lord, what are your reasons?"
"Mainly because I thought it was a good opportunity." After hesitating for a moment, Tokugawa Ieyasu replied in a low voice, "At that time, the entire Takeda Army came towards the red leaves, and their backs were empty. There were almost no people in the camp, including baggage and food.
guard."
"Takechiyo, who are you lying to?" Yu Qiuping raised his head and stared at Tokugawa Ieyasu, "With your stable character, how could you risk doing such a thing at this time? And I already understand that.
After the battle, the Tokugawa army fled back to Hamamatsu Castle with no casualties. This was different from the strong and unyielding Mikawa samurai I had seen. And you were clearly going to attack the Takeda army, but you listed an incredible plan.
Crane Wing Formation - a formation used for defense, do you dare to say that you have nothing else in mind?"
Seeing that Yu Qiuping had said this, Tokugawa Ieyasu realized that he could no longer hide it. His Adam's apple squirmed violently a few times, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look into Yu Qiuping's eyes.
"This is a letter written by Takenaka Shigeharu from the rear. I received it after I broke through. You can read it yourself." Yu Qiuping didn't say anything more. He just took out a letter from his arms and handed it to
Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tokugawa Ieyasu was stunned for a moment, took the letter, only glanced at it a few times, and was shocked and speechless.
This letter is a reply from Takenaka Shigeharu to Yu Qiupei. After Yu Qiupei decided on the subsequent battle plan, he sent a copy of the battle plan to Takenaka Shigeharu who was recuperating in the rear - the one who took the northern route to support Hamamatsu.
, a plan to retreat to the Mikaichi Mountains in case of an attack by the Takeda Army.
After receiving the plan, Takenaka Shigeharu immediately wrote a letter asking Amakihei not to act in this way. He first said that the Takeda family's ninjas were very powerful, and Tokugawa Nobuyasu's activities in Shitarahara were likely to be discovered, and the Takeda army could use them to
This counterattack was against Uakiuhei. At the same time, he emphasized that Tokugawa Ieyasu was completely unreliable in this situation, and he could not be expected to contain any of the Takeda Army's troops for Ukippei.
Takenaka Shigeharu said bluntly that Tokugawa Ieyasu was a very smart and smooth man. In his heart, nothing was more important than the interests of the Tokugawa family. For the benefit of the Tokugawa family, he could take advantage of the Imagawa family.
Li rebel. Now, it is not strange to betray Oda and join Takeda.
Even if Tokugawa Ieyasu is not determined to make this decision, there is a high possibility that he will refuse to cooperate with Yu Qiupei's actions, and instead try to divert the trouble to the west and let Yu Qiupei and Takeda Shingen fight to the detriment of both sides. Of course, if Tokugawa Ieyasu is like this
If it is done, Oda Nobunaga will definitely liquidate him afterwards. Therefore, Tokugawa Ieyasu will first find an opportunity to fight with the Takeda army, causing his army to collapse with a small loss and lose its combat effectiveness, so as not to join Yuqiu later.
-The decisive battle between the Tokugawa Allied Forces and the Takeda Army.
Afterwards, even if Oda Nobunaga wanted to pursue Tokugawa Ieyasu, he could not find a reason. Because Tokugawa Ieyasu had already fought to the death with the Takeda family for the benefit of the Oda family, and he had no choice but to lose in the end.
However, Tokugawa Ieyasu's strategy of defeating first to preserve his strength would drag Yu Qiupei into catastrophe. Because after Yu Qiupei learned that Tokugawa Ieyasu was out, he would definitely move forward at full speed and try to cooperate with the Tokugawa army. However, the Tokugawa army did not
The goal is not to win, but to defeat, and they will be defeated soon. Wait until Yu Qiupei arrives - Takenaka Shigeharu doesn't know where the specific battlefield is, but it will be near Hamamatsu Castle. Wait until Yu Qiupei arrives.
After that, they will be too close to the Takeda Army. When the Takeda Army pursues them, the Uakiu Army may be forced to accept a field battle with the entire main force of the Takeda Army on the plains - Tokugawa Ieyasu may not have any people at all.
There is no way to help contain Yu Qiuping.
Takenaka Shigeharu was not a clairvoyant, and he could not have foreseen Takeda Shingen’s Woodpecker plan, which shocked everyone in the world, in advance.
But his general prediction was not wrong. If it hadn't been for the hard work of Mizuaki Atonsune and Tokiwa Bei's second company, Ame Qiupei would have really fought against the Takeda army on plain terrain, and he would have been defeated without a doubt.
Takenaka Shigeharu later pointed out that as long as Tokugawa Ieyasu was defeated first, the Tokugawa family was actually in an invincible position. He could sit back and watch the decisive battle between the Amaki Army and the Takeda Army without having to pay heavy losses.
If the Amaki army wins, the Takeda army will be expelled from Mikawa-Toe, and the Tokugawa family's territory will naturally be as safe as Mount Tai. And Tokugawa Ieyasu has already fought a fierce battle with the Takeda family. Even if he loses, he will only serve as an ally.
And Oda Nobunaga, who was not the head of the family, could not blame him harshly.
If the Takeda Army wins, Tokugawa Ieyasu can take advantage of the situation to surrender and surrender to Takeda Shingen. In this way, in the eyes of the world, Tokugawa Ieyasu is not a capricious villain like Matsunagahide, but a reliable one.
He is a loyal and good person. Because the Tokugawa family has been fighting with the Takeda family for a long time, he was unfortunately defeated after fighting hard. It was not until the reinforcements of the alliance were defeated that he was forced to surrender due to the situation. Such behavior is unacceptable in any case.
It will attract criticism. Since the Tokugawa army has already suffered losses and cannot pose a threat to the Takeda family in the short term, Takeda Shingen will not wantonly deprive and weaken the Tokugawa family's territory in order to ensure a retreat. On the contrary, the Takeda army who is eager to go to Luo may
It will give Tokugawa Ieyasu a more decent peace negotiation condition, thereby forcing the Tokugawa family to join the banner of Shangluo.
·
In front of Takenaka Shigeharu's letter, Tokugawa Ieyasu felt like a transparent person. Takenaka Shigeharu could clearly see from his appearance to his heart. He showed a helpless smile and handed the letter back to Yu.
Qiuping knew that he could no longer hide it, and then he prostrated himself deeply - this was a great gift that a courtier would only do when he saw his lord, or a child would do it when they met their parents.
"Master Takenaka is right, I'm very sorry." Tokugawa Ieyasu kowtowed on the tatami several times, "I have caused such a huge loss to the Yuqiu Army... Hongye, I am really... very sorry."
"What's the point of saying sorry now?" Yu Qiuping whispered in a teasing tone, "Please get up quickly, His Highness Tokugawa, I am a retainer of the Oda family, I can't bear such a great gift."
When he heard that Ame Qiupei did not call himself "Takechiyo" but "His Majesty Tokugawa", Tokugawa Ieyasu trembled all over and raised his head with some difficulty.
"I thought we were good brothers." Yu Qiuping didn't want to look at Tokugawa Ieyasu anymore, but turned his head to the other side and whispered in a low voice, "I thought the Tokugawa family and the Yu Qiu family were
best friend."
"Yes, we met 15 years ago, when we were two teenagers. Do you still remember what we looked like when we first met outside Okazaki Castle?" Yu Qiuping said, smiling sarcastically.
Twice, "I really thought that we would always be good brothers. Over the years, I have always treated you as a real brother."
"So I am willing to cross mountains and ridges and travel thousands of miles to support you. I have been walking for almost a month. Do you know how difficult this journey is? But I don't want to stop for a moment because I am worried about you and my good brother.
, I wish I could walk faster every day and come to support you earlier."
"I regard you as a brother, and I regard Saburo as my nephew. So even if I didn't have enough troops at the time, and even if the Takeda army was so powerful, I didn't dare to bring him to the battlefield. Instead, I sent him to Shitara.
It turns out that if nothing else, I just love and protect him, and I am afraid that something will happen to him in the decisive battle. I am afraid that if something happens to him because of my order, I really don’t know how to explain to you."
"I treat you as a brother, but what about you?" After Yu Qiuping said a long sentence, he suddenly turned his head and stared into Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes. However, after looking for a few seconds, he turned his head again
Go, face the direction of the window, covering up your red eyes, "What do you think of me? A tool? Or an abandoned child? The kind that can be thrown away after using it."
"No!" Tokugawa Ieyasu hurriedly objected, but was rudely interrupted by Yu Qiuping: "Shut up!"
"For your own sake
You can abandon me without hesitation, abandon a good brother who has traveled thousands of miles to support you for the sake of friendship, and let him face the Takeda Army alone." Yu Qiuping shook his head and sighed with great disappointment,
"I'm worried about something happening to Saburo. I don't want to see anything happen to him, and I don't want to put him in danger. And what about you? Have you ever thought about Shang'er? Do you know how dangerous Shang'er is in the Mikamachi Basin? He
The company I was in encountered 8,000 Takeda soldiers, and 70% of the entire company was killed. Everyone who survived was injured. Shang'er's equipment was all smashed! He stood in the front row and withstood several rounds of volleys.
He almost died! Have you ever considered him? I’m afraid you haven’t even thought about it!”
"Because of your selfishness and your interests, so many people have died. Ryuko, Fidelity, Ikki, Nagai, and so many brothers, I will never see them again, they are gone forever.
I thought that their hard work was valuable, and my thousands of miles of reinforcements were valuable, because the Tokugawa family was saved! What happened?" Yu Qiuping laughed angrily, pulled out his ribs fiercely, and headed towards Germany.
Kawa Ieyasu and Yu Qiupei dug into the tatami in front of them, making a hole in the tatami, which also shocked Tokugawa Ieyasu. "It turns out that nothing will happen to the Tokugawa family at all. Your abacus is ringing! You
The Tokugawa family's retreat has been paved long ago. Either Takeda or Oda will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, but what they are fighting for is the life of my Yuqiu Army!"
"Your selfishness and your interests have made their sacrifice ridiculous; made the Yuqiu Army's fighting ridiculous; made my long-cherished support from thousands of miles away ridiculous; made the friendship between the two of us for fifteen years ridiculous.
How ridiculous! I feel so stupid now. The friendship that I value so much is just a discarded child that can be easily abandoned for profit in your eyes! You know, after I figured out why you wanted to leave the city, I felt that I
All the things I have done for you and the Tokugawa family are like a joke!"
After saying such a long sentence, Yu Qiuping's face showed a strange expression that Tokugawa Ieyasu had never seen before - it was a smile that was uglier than crying, as if he had read a very embarrassing joke.
"I should have understood a long time ago that you are not a loyal and honest good person, but a cunning and cunning turtle!"
"Hongye... It's not like that. I really value our friendship..." Yu Qiuping had already said this. Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that no explanation would help, but he still said bravely, "
If you and I were just country folk, I would be willing to be lifelong good friends with Hongye, because I really appreciate Hongye."
"It's just that I'm not just a person. I'm a samurai. I'm the governor of the Tokugawa family. I shoulder the responsibilities passed down from generation to generation of the Tokugawa family." Tokugawa Ieyasu said with great difficulty, "As a samurai, you shouldn't
There are no human emotions anymore. Whatever I do, I must put the interests of the Tokugawa family first, and it is impossible to let personal affairs override the interests of the family. Isn't the same true for Hongye?"
"If the so-called family interests mean abandoning your companions, then I don't want such interests." Yu Qiuping shook his head indifferently, "If you protect the family in this way, people will be scattered. If everyone knows that for the interests of the family,
, I may become an abandoned son at any time, so what’s the point of such a family? Who would originally think of working for such a family?”
"No matter what, I'm really sorry this time... Tokugawa Ieyasu is sorry for Uakiujibu. But that Takechiyo really cherishes the friendship with Momiji..." Tokugawa Ieyasu was refuted by Yuqiu and was a little incoherent.
The voice has changed its tone.
"No need. Out of the last friendship between friends, I will not tell the Lord about your wishful thinking this time." Yu Qiuping whispered coldly, while holding his ribs inserted on the tatami with his hands.
, slowly moved sideways, splitting the tatami, and drawing a gap between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ame Qiupei.
"From now on, we will never see each other again, and we will be strangers when we meet again." After Yu Qiuping said this, he stood up calmly and strode away without looking back, leaving only Tokugawa Ieyasu sitting there kneeling in a daze.
After a while, the man, who had not cried for a long time, had two lines of turbid tears running down his cheeks.
