Takeda Katsuyori smiled coldly and said with a ferocious face:
"This is a troubled world! Father and son, brother and brother, there is nothing to be said for it... If this is the case, I will not hesitate to bloodbath this formation."
After saying that, Takeda Katsuyori turned his head with a confident smile!
He looked behind him, this team belonged entirely to him, the fifty elite Chibei Cavalry!
In the Mino area, in an open space with excellent scenery near Komaba Onsen, there is an area of nearly 300 square meters, surrounded by a red tent, and the inside cannot be seen...
Outside the tent, dozens of handsomely dressed men gathered together, lowering their heads to discuss something.
And if you observe these dozens of gorgeously dressed men carefully, you can still find them - they can be further subdivided into seven or eight smaller groups, with serious faces and lowered heads, whispering to each other.
The crowd further away was composed of more warriors and retainers. These people could not advance to serve in front of the assessment tent, and could only gather together on their own a few hundred meters away.
The important ministers of the Takeda family, the elders of the Fudai family, and the Fudai generals do not believe in a centralized state system, but a combination of interests.
Retainers and generals all have their own cities, private retainers, and even armies.
The retainers gathered under these important ministers all looked at their respective heads of family several hundred meters away with worried faces...
The Takeda family, just today - there is a big change!
The retainers of the Warring States Period were a special group who had no sense of security and were uncertain about their direction!
When there is benefit, perhaps the Takeda family is the master. If the Takeda has no money to provide food and the family governor is weak, a small number of retainers with low authority will most likely betray in order to seek a better environment...
This kind of betrayal and being betrayed again by others is the biggest feature of Japan's Warring States Period! It is not uncommon for fathers and sons to draw swords at each other!
The most famous among them is Takeda Shingen. When he was young, he exiled his own father, Takeda Nobutora, and this gave the Takeda family the strength to dominate Kai, Mino, and large tracts of land...
As for the derogatory term "betrayal elite", the best among them is Nobumasa Sanada of the Sanada family, who is ranked second, and no one dares to call himself the first anymore...

In the blood-red tent, the floor in the middle was covered with a thick white carpet with black inside. It looked like it was imported from Portugal through trade.
In the middle of the carpet, a man with gray hair and an ugly face sat cross-legged, panting incessantly. Above his lips that opened and closed to exhale, there was a pair of red eyes full of wildness...
"Hoo, cough, cough, cough..."
Takeda Shingen was coughing violently, and Genshiro Sanada, nicknamed by the Sanada family, kept patting his back to relieve his pain.
"Is everyone here?"
Takeda Shingen turned his head to look at Liu Shiba, who was sitting next to him on the lower left side, and then turned to look at an important retainer who had just been summoned.
This retainer is Shingen’s other biological brother, Takeda Noburen!
"Ha! All the important retainers of the Takeda family are basically here!"
Takeda Nobulen reported truthfully, with an extremely worried look on his face. He hesitated for a while and then added:
"Only Master Katsuyori hasn't arrived yet. The spies reported that Master was only three miles away from this place, but he strangely slowed down..."
Takeda Shingen raised his head, squinted his eyes and smiled strangely, his eyes flashing like a poisonous snake, nodded and ordered:
"Convey my news that there is another candidate to succeed the family governor!"
"ha!"
Shingen's younger brother, Takeda Noburen, looked blank for a moment, then responded.
