Then Warrior Ji entered the water with her arms folded, blocking the rapid river.
Hundreds of Ji warriors built a human wall in the river, which means the water is shallow during the dry season in autumn and winter, and the water just reaches the chest.
The water flow blocked by the human wall seemed to have slowed down a lot, and the three young highnesses carefully entered the water. Yuigahama Yoshinao even subconsciously shouted.
"It's so cold."
Takeda Yoshinobu looked back at his three sisters, and Yuigahama Yoshinao quickly covered his mouth, lowered his head and followed the sisters.
Kosaka Masanobu watched the three young ancestors crossing the river on the bank, sweating in his hands.
They saw that they had just walked two-thirds of the way, when a warrior girl behind them couldn't stand, and the three warrior girls on the left and right fell into the water together and were swept away along the current.
Fortunately, this little accident happened and no more trouble occurred. The three divine sisters finally crossed the river safely, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Kosaka Masanobu said to Uesugi Kagetora beside him.
"Your Majesty Kagetora, let's cross the river too."
Uesugi Kagetora was also sweating when he saw it, and he was more nervous than crossing the river himself, so he nodded.
"Okay, Mr. Kosaka, please go first."
———
By the time Kosaka Masanobu arrived on the other side, a bonfire had been set up by the river. The moist firewood was burning black smoke, which was very choking. The three sisters were warming themselves by the fire and changing clothes.
Kosaka Masanobu's eyes narrowed and he scolded him.
"Who started the fire? Put it out!"
As soon as Uesugi Yoshikage stepped forward, he heard Kosaka Masanobu cursing and said embarrassedly.
"I asked you to light the fire. Is there any problem?"
Kosaka Masanobu was choked and just about to speak, the sound of conch shells and war drums suddenly came from the distance, not on the other side, but on this side.
Uesugi Kagetora, who was behind him, happened to step forward and whispered.
"About seventy or eighty people were swept away by the water when crossing the river. We haven't had time to count the exact number."
Kosaka Masanobu said nothing. She looked into the distance and seemed to see the enemy troops approaching in formation. Then she looked back and saw the cold and tired Ji warriors behind her, abandoning their harpooned horses.
Finally, her eyes swept across Uesugi Yoshikage, Yuigahama Yoshinao, and stopped on Takeda Yoshinobu's face.
Kosaka Masanobu squinted his eyes, and his stern face showed a hint of tenderness, as if he had made up his mind.
"Your Highness Uesugi Kagetora."
"Hi."
"The three young highnesses are entrusted to you. You can take the cedars to protect them and go north. Don't go to Xiaozhi Bridge, go to Katsura River, and go to Shoryuji Castle."
Uesugi Kagetora was stunned and asked.
"Aren't we going back to Toba Palace? Why are we going to Shoryuji Castle?"
Kosaka Masanobu is decisive.
"Toba cannot leave the palace. The enemy troops will definitely be blocking the banks of the Kamogawa River, waiting for you to fall into their trap. Only by walking towards the Katsura River in the opposite direction can you seize the weak point and break out.
Remember, don’t hesitate to use your power, don’t hesitate to fight when you encounter enemies along the way, just break through and leave. If you rush to Shengryuji Castle, you will be safe.”
Uesugi Kagetora looked at Uesugi Yoshikage, hesitant whether he should agree or not.
Takeda Yoshinobu stared at Kosaka Masanobu and asked.
"Mom... no, Master Kousaka, won't you come with us?"
Kosaka Masanobu pointed to the increasingly clear sound of war drums in the distance and said with a wry smile.
"If we go together, no one will be able to leave. Hurry up and mount your horses. Don't delay. The Takeda people will cut off the rear for you."
Takeda Yoshinobu suddenly became excited, his eyes turned red and he roared angrily.
"I won't leave, and I won't leave if you don't leave!"
Kosaka Masanobu was stunned, subconsciously touched Takeda Yoshinobu's hair, and said with mixed feelings.
"Silly boy, my life has come to an end, but your life has just begun..."
Takeda Yoshinobu suddenly felt that his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
Withdrawing his fist, Kosaka Masanobu carefully picked up Takeda Yoshinobu, handed it to Uesugi Kagetora, and then bowed deeply to Uesugi Yoshikage.
"Your Highness Yoshinobu, I leave it to you."
Uesugi Yoshikage hesitated to speak, and looked at the decisive Kosaka Masanobu with complex eyes, and finally just nodded.
———
Watching the Uesugi people disappearing on horseback, Kosaka Masanobu subconsciously touched his hair again and accidentally brushed off a trace of white hair.
Looking at the strand of white hair, she laughed dumbly, let go and threw it in the wind.
I am really old...yes, I am also over forty. I am no longer the young girl I was back then, but have become an old woman.
She couldn't help but think of the first time she met Takeda Shingen, the first time he accompanied her on the battlefield, the first time he received her love letter, the first time he saw her so sad, and the first time he went crazy with her in Yantian City...
Yantian Castle... changed the life of Takeda Shingen and the life of Kosaka Masanobu.
Shiba Yigen, maybe he is really the reincarnation of Tamamo Mae, otherwise I really don’t know how to explain why I am so obsessed with him.
Takeda Yoshinobu.. She is the child of Takeda Shingen and Shiba Yoshigan.. She is also the child of my Kosaka Masanobu..
Kosaka Masanobu couldn't help laughing.
Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world... Kosaka Masanobu is not only a beauty, but also a famous general, and he is also a poor person trapped in love...
Perhaps, this ending is the best.
For the people they love, for their children, die on the battlefield, when they are not so old and ugly.
In this way, in the memories of Takeda Shingen and Shiba Yoshigan, they are neither aging nor ugly.
Kosaka Masanobu laughed, feeling suddenly inexplicably happy. She turned around and looked at the enemy troops appearing in the distance, becoming eager to try.
Looking to the left and right, the Takeda people, stripped of their weapons and invaded by the river, were starving, cold, and lacked war horses.
In front of him, countless enemies were showing their figures and rushing toward him fiercely.
Kosaka Masanobu raised his spear and shouted.
"Hisashi warriors of the Takeda family! Let these despicable Kansai guys see the bravery of the Kanto warriors!
Chi Bei! Charge with me!"
"Chibe! Chibei! Chibei!"
At the moment when the horse was galloping, Kosaka Masanobu's last tear was also carried away by the wind.
Goodbye, Takeda Shingen.
Goodbye, Sibo Yiyin.
Goodbye, Yixin, my good boy.
