Looking at his two sad-faced friends, Sanada Nobushige seemed very open-minded and said with his hands on his hips.
"It's not like His Highness Takeda doesn't know what he's afraid of."
When she waved her hand, she broke her own body.
Sarutobi Sasuke shook his head, too lazy to talk nonsense with this fool, for fear that he would faint from anger.
Kirigakure Saizo nodded.
"With the protection of the Imperial Palace, it is indeed inconvenient for His Highness Takeda to argue with you."
Sanada Nobushige smiled and pointed at the two of them.
"The Imperial Office asked me to bring you a message to thank you for your efforts. I will give you a certificate of thanks and a reward later."
Sarutobi Sasuke shrugged.
"Am I someone who cares about rewards?"
Kirigakure glanced at her and said.
"In recent battles, the Imperial Palace has rewarded one hundred Tongxinzhongji warriors with more than 8,000 stones of peace and security."
"Fuck!"
The three of them were chatting together in the atrium. In the distance, the Shiba family warriors frowned, creating a harmonious scene.
———
The next day, Takeda Harunobu held a review at the castle tower and invited Yoshihiro Shiba to attend.
Shiba Yoshigan, together with Shima Shengmeng and Sanada Nobushige, entered the meeting hall. He took the chair, accompanied by Takeda Harunobu, the second chair, and accepted the bows of the ladies.
The direct descendant of Kawachi Genji has a sensitive status, and no one dares to be rude to Shiba Yoshigan in formal occasions.
He used to be an envoy to mourn, but now he is an envoy to negotiate. Although the fact is that he is trapped in Yantian City, he must be given the dignity he deserves.
Of course, dignity is respectability, and this does not prevent the Takeda retainers group from attacking him and asking for benefits.
Sure enough, just after the ceremony, Takeda Nobuyan came forward to speak.
"On the imperial platform.
In the battle of Kawanakajima, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like rivers. We, the Takeda family, sympathize with the samurai family and are willing to accept the Uesugi family's request for peace.
Since His Highness Uesugi has entrusted you with full authority, please give me an explanation from the Takeda family."
As the leader of a sect, Takeda Noburen is theoretically the second member of the Takeda family under Takeda Harunobu. She speaks on behalf of the Takeda retainers, which is quite rude.
Out of compassion for the Takeda family, the Uesugi family requested peace and asked Yoshihiro Shiba to give an explanation.
He was domineering, condescending, and arrogant. Shimakatsu, who was accompanying him at the table, looked at him fiercely like a knife, and Sanada Nobushige gritted his teeth.
Sibo Yiyin was already prepared.
The Takeda family has made it clear that they regard him as a prisoner, and if they don't adopt this attitude, it would be a fool's errand to give up their own advantages.
He turned a blind eye to Takeda Nobuyoshi and asked Takeda Harunobu instead.
"Who is this person?"
Takeda Harunobu glanced at Takeda Noburen and said.
"This is Takeda Noburen, my sister, who is in charge of all affairs of the Takeda family."
Shiba Yiyin nodded and wrote lightly.
"Oh, I don't know."
Takeda Nobulen was at the bottom, his face suddenly turned red, this was a naked slap in her face.
She was making such a noise, so of course Shiba Yiyin wanted to give her some color and scolded her.
"The Takeda family protected Kai Country, but instead of protecting the territory and its people, they invaded Shinano Country.
I issued the order with my sword in hand, and His Highness Uesugi, the governor of Kanto, understood the principles of justice and sent troops to bring order to the chaos.
How dare you send troops to fight against the shogunate's heavenly soldiers? It's unreasonable! The river of blood on Kawanaka Island is all your fault!
His Highness Uesugi took pity on the devastated lives and gave you a chance to repent, but you were beaten down instead?
Shameless people, please retreat quickly!"
Takeda Nobuyan was so angry that his lips trembled, but Shiba Yoshigan was indeed on the side of morality, because he was a direct descendant of Kawachi Genji, and he held the imperial sword.
Unless the Takeda family doesn't recognize the shogunate, the generals, and the guardian system, then Yoshigan Shiba is right.
In the guardianship system, who can argue with the Ashikaga family? The guardianship system is the rules established by her family, so of course she has the upper hand.
Seeing that Takeda Noburen could not speak, Nobu-kun Anesama shook his head in his heart. The other party was just a prisoner, and he would be at a disadvantage by trying to reason with him. Takeda Noburen chose the wrong strategy.
Nobu-kun Anesama came out and bowed, saying.
"On the throne, you cannot always speak to the Uesugi family. This time you come to Yantian City, I, the Takeda family, respect you very much.
Now that the two families are negotiating a peace, you should arbitrate in Yantian City, so you should give the Takeda family some face, right?"
Her words were neither negative nor positive, and Takeda Harunobu's face darkened.
What does it mean to be respected? The bad things that Takeda Harunobu did are not secrets in the eyes of Takeda’s senior warriors.
Nobu-kun Anayama was respectful on the surface, but actually he was vicious. It not only reminded Yoshigan of his own situation, but also gave Takeda Harunobu a gentle poke.
Shima Katsuki didn't know these things, but Sanada Nobunaga understood it and looked at Anesama Nobu-kun with a bad look on his face.
Shiba Yoshigan looked at Takeda Harunobu again and said helplessly.
"Your Highness Takeda, who is this?
Why don't you, the Takeda family's warrior Hime, like to announce his name when he goes out to speak? Do you think I need to know all the cats and dogs?"
Takeda Harunobu raised the corners of his mouth, looked at the ugly-looking Nobu-kun Anayama, and said.
"This is Nobu-kun Anayama. The Anayama family is a member of the Takeda clan and a famous Kai clan."
Shiba Yiyin nodded and sneered at Nobuyama Anesama.
"Anayama Nobu-kun? Who do you think you are? Giving me advice? Are you worthy?"
Nobu-kun Anayama was humiliated by Yoshigan's words, so he gritted his teeth and bowed.
"I'm sorry, but please be aware of your situation..."
Sibo Yiyin decisively interrupted her and warned her.
"You don't need to think about it for me! Who do you think you are?"
Shiba Yoshigan raised his chin proudly and looked arrogantly at the whole place, scanning every high-level Takeda martial artist.
He scolded with a sarcastic smile.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you. I'm saying that everyone here is a jerk."
As soon as this statement came out, Takeda's retainers were in an uproar.
They never expected that Shiba Yoshigan would dare to speak like this and humiliate the entire Takeda retainers group after being reduced to a prisoner by his subordinates.
But they had bad tempers, and Yiyin's temper was even worse. He picked up his sword, smashed it on the document like a tree, and scolded.
"Noisy!"
The Takeda retainers all fell silent and glared at him. Yoshigan spoke slowly without fear.
"It's stupid to expect to get something at the negotiation table that you can't get on the battlefield.
If you are a martial artist, let your sword speak.
If you, the rest of the country, meet me on the battlefield, do you have the guts to draw your sword and fight?"
His eyes swept across their faces one by one, making each of the Takeda retainers lower their heads and remain silent.
Yoshigan pointed out the fact that he was not captured on the battlefield, and the Takeda retainers had no right to threaten him.
Either break up and play dirty tricks. Or treat each other with courtesy and negotiate well.
They want to keep a decent face, but they also want to take people as prisoners. How shameless the Takeda family is!
Takeda Harunobu watched from the sidelines as Yoshigoshi Shiba showed off his power, feeling complicated in her heart. She had been playing around with Yoshigan Shiba these days, which made her almost forget how powerful this person was.
At this moment, Yoshigami was overwhelming the Takeda retainers, causing them to suddenly recall that day on Kawanaka Island.
