"Shanxian, it's rare to see your face become so wonderful! I actually saw fear, hahaha..."
"Cough cough cough!"
Halfway through the words, Shingen covered his chest, then covered his mouth and gasped violently, followed by a violent cough.
At this time, Shanxian Changjing came back to his senses and said anxiously:
"My lord, why did you get off the sedan? It doesn't matter, right?"
"Well! It's okay for now. Shan County, please tell me what happened that frightened you?"
Takeda Shingen took a breath and stared at the gloomy Yamagata Masaki.
"Lord! We have encountered a rare and powerful ninja! But it is strange that among ninjas, it is extremely rare to have superb shooting skills.
In other words, the Nobushige family is very unlucky, and the marksman he met happened to be a ninja with archery skills who has not been seen in thousands of years."
"Nani? Bow...bow skills?"
Takeda Shingen's pupils shrank violently, and an abnormal red color appeared on his pale face.
Shanxian raised his hand, pointed at the four bamboo arrows, which came from the throats of the four dead bodies, and whispered in his ears:
"Lord, please take a closer look. These are not standard arrows with iron arrowheads at all. To put it bluntly, these are four slightly longer bamboo chopsticks. Even the arrowheads are smoothed. This shows one thing."
"Huh? Keep talking."
Takeda Shingen seemed to realize something, and his face changed color violently, turning green and red.
"It is impossible for a bamboo arrow to penetrate the cavalry equipment, especially the raised area on the collar, which is a copper plate imported from the Ming Dynasty..."
Speaking of this, Shanxian seemed particularly uneasy and added:
"The copper pieces for the throat protection are all from the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty. The craftsmen of the Takeda family really don't have the refinement and forging skills, so they can't make it!"
Takeda Shingen's body swayed, he raised his hand and pressed firmly on his heart, a faint bloodshot oozed from the corner of his mouth...
Yamagata didn't notice Takeda Shingen's expression. He looked fearfully not far away, his eyes lit up and he said:
"My lord, I saw Mr. Nobushige just a few hundred meters away. He seemed to be surrounding a man and a woman. They must be the archers who killed the four red horsemen."
When Yamagata Masaki said this, he turned around and looked at Shingen, hesitating to speak...
Takeda Shingen's face became even paler, he sighed quietly, looked at the mountains in the distance, and sighed to himself if he couldn't answer the question:
"I served as the governor of the Takeda family for several decades. I expanded Kai's territory three times, annexed and defeated countless daimyo, and annexed their territories.
And the passage to the sea was opened, and I finally saw the sea I had dreamed of.
Since the sea has been my lifelong dream, Kaifei is located in a mountainous area with poor natural resources and poor farming conditions. It is a luxury for the people to be able to barely feed themselves.
It was then that I understood that to unify Japan we needed a strong population base, but Kai could not support so many soldiers or even people.
Therefore, I lured Tokugawa Ieyasu to severely injure Uesugi and Hojo! After having no worries, I conquered the most fertile Mino area in one fell swoop to obtain the most critical food for the people and soldiers in my territory.
In the past few years, the grain and grass reserves have been abundant, and the opportunity to go to Luo was finally ushered in. However, he did not expect to be blocked by Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had always been as timid as a mouse, at Mikatahara.
Although you, Yamagata, led the red cavalry and showed bravery in defeating Ieyasu, I lost the best opportunity. Reinforcements from Oda and other daimyo came in a steady stream. No matter how strong the Takeda family is, I can't defeat them with just two fists.
hand."
When the gloomy-looking Takeda Shingen said this, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, and added:
"Actually, they're all here! I'm not afraid at all. Do you know why?"
When Shanxian heard this, his eyes were filled with tears and he choked with sobs:
"Lord! Because of the bravery and strength of the Takeda family, the city was not built on land at all.
Our city is built in the hearts of all the people and soldiers in the territory. When people are here, the city exists, and when people die, the city will be destroyed.
Therefore, the Takeda family did not build a city within their territory, at least... they did not build a city for defense."
When Takeda Shingen heard this, his pale face became particularly strange...
After his face trembled violently for a few times, Takeda Shingen slowly walked to Yamagata Masaki, gently patted Yamagata Masaki's shoulder, and said in a mysterious and low voice:
"Actually, this is all my strategy! Think about it, does bravery really work? No matter how brave a soldier is, can he not eat? Can a horse run thousands of miles without eating grass?
The Chi Bei you lead in Shanxian County is indeed brave and can easily defeat several times the enemy, and can even defeat enemies three times as strong as ourselves, but what about ten times? What about twenty times? So what?"
Shanxian Changjing's face turned dark when he heard this. He was speechless. Mr. Shingen was so right...
Takeda Shingen saw Yamagata Masaki realizing the key, so a strange smile appeared on his face and he added:
"As for the city in my heart, since the city exists when people are there, this is the biggest lie I told. Of course you all believed this lie!"
With large beads of sweat on his forehead, Yamagata Masakage raised his heavy head, stared at Takeda Shingen, and said with difficulty:
"My lord... Even if it is lies, I will trust you 100%."
Takeda Shingen smiled lightly and said:
"What's the truth? Do you want to hear it?"
Shanxian Changjing was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth for a long time and then said with a clear heart:
"think!"
Takeda Shingen raised his hand, stroked the three inches of beard on his upper lip and said with a bitter smile:
"Because Kai is too poor, the people in the territory are all typical mountain people. Others, including the Takeda family, jokingly call us mountain monkeys. Apart from the inexhaustible wood and animal skins in the mountains, we really have nothing..."
Shanxian Changjing's eyes widened and he said in surprise:
"Many years ago, wasn't it said that the Takeda family was rich in gold mines? The Takeda family's gold sands were famous in Japan."
Takeda's eyes suddenly became sharp and he said with a ferocious smile:
"The ghost's gold sands and gold mines are all the wealth obtained by the robber commando team I secretly formed to rob businessmen traveling all over Japan."
Shanxian Changjing looked stiff and said stupidly:
"Jinsha, Jinsha..."
Takeda rolled his eyes at Shanxian Changjing and chuckled:
"Haha! Is it difficult to melt real gold and silver into gold nuggets, then grind them into gold sand and sell them? This is the truth that the purity of the gold mines in the Takeda territory is famous throughout the country..."
Shanxian Changjing's hands were shaking, and he suddenly knelt on the ground and started crying...
"Lord! It's so difficult for you! For the sake of the Takeda family and the people in the territory..."
"Stand up and speak!"
Speaking of this, Takeda Shingen continued to look into the distance with his hands behind his back, and said sadly:
"The three-party original battle was taken up by Tokugawa lunatics for a long time. Unexpectedly, my body suffered from fatigue and eventually deteriorated.
I asked the doctor, and the answer was that there was no way to save him, and there was not much time left! The dream of going to Luo and putting the Takeda family crest on the top of Kyoto finally failed.
Surrounded by strong enemies, I had no choice but to order the withdrawal of our troops and turn around the Mino area to return to Koka Castle..."
"Governor! Please don't retreat. You can pass the position of governor to Katsuyori. With the fierceness and bravery of the new head of the family, the Takeda family emblem can also be placed on the castle tower of the Kyoto Imperial Palace... Wuwuwu!"
Changjing, Shan County, cried silently while talking!
Japan's strongest general, Japan's strongest Governor of the Takeda family, and the number one strategist, Shingen Gong, turned out to be a late hero and came to an end...
At this time, Mr. Shingen looked lonely, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back...
What he was staring at was the prosperous Kyoto castle tower looming in the clouds and fog, right?
