"Nani Honda Tadakatsu ordered the entire army to attack Mulberry Abyss and Dragon Abyss!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu gave the order, and all the retainers' expressions became stern and their expressions changed.
Lord, I was too impulsive this time...
The other important ministers or retainers were obviously more brave than wise, so after Ieyasu shouted the roar of the army's attack, he did not express any different opinions, but each ordered his direct retainers to assemble the army and prepare for war.
Of course, there are also different voices among the retainers, and there is more than one...
At the very back of all the retainers and important ministers and generals, there was a shabby-dressed retainer with an anxious expression on his face. He quickly took a step forward and stopped him loudly:
"Lord, wait! Please think twice..."
Tokugawa Ieyasu was furious. Hearing this, he turned around and glared:
"Masanobu Honda? Do you want to stop me from seeking revenge for the retainers and soldiers who died in Noda Castle?"
Before the retainer named Honda Masanobu could defend himself, another retainer stepped out and said loudly:
"I also thought that my lord should be calm for a while! It would be better to send out ninjas first to find out the true and false status of the Takeda Army..."
Tokugawa Ieyasu raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes coldly. Although he was angry, hesitation rose in his heart.
If a person objects, you can call him a fool...
However, if two people object to joining the battle, maybe you yourself are the fool...
Tokugawa Ieyasu was obviously not a fool. He lowered his head and groaned. Although he was hesitant in his heart, his face was still ferocious and terrifying, and he laughed loudly and said:
"Sanada Nobuyin, you also object to my participation in the battle? Huh..."
……………………
One Honda Masanobu and the other Sanada Nobuyin! These are two of the more controversial figures in real history!
Sanada Nobuyin, as you can tell by his name, has a great connection with Sanada Masayuki and his son, who are now surrendered to Liu Shiba.
This guy is actually the fourth brother of Sanada Masayuki. His nickname is also Genshiro. He is the fourth brother and Masayuki is the third brother.
Sanada Shingen had just joined the Tokugawa family one month before Takeda Shingen died of illness. He was not appreciated or reused by Ieyasu, and was currently only serving as a quartermaster.
In fact, Sanada Nobuyin was a very wise military commander who was very loyal to the Sanada family.
……………………
Another retainer who called out Tokugawa Ieyasu was Honda Masanobu, whose name seemed to have the slightest connection with Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu, but in fact he had nothing to do with the God of War Tadakatsu Egg, and was a complete stranger.
Strictly speaking, this Honda Masanobu was still a traitor to Tokugawa Ieyasu...
This guy joined the Ikeku team that resisted Ieyasu during the Mikawa Ikoku outbreak when Ieyasu reformed the tax collection in the Mikawa area. Later, the resistance was suppressed, and he began to become an exiled ronin.
For the retainers who rebelled against their master, Tokugawa Ieyasu, there was almost no place in the vast world for Honda Masanobu...
Honda Masanobu, who was in a miserable situation, wandered around various places and worked for a number of guys who had eaten brain fragments, but none of them became successful!
Perhaps in the end, Honda Masanobu felt that no matter where he went, he could never escape the shadow of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Therefore, Honda Masanobu, with the mentality of raising his head and shrinking his head with a knife, reluctantly bribed ten salted fish to beg a confidant under Tokugawa Ieyasu who loved to eat salted fish.
The important minister who loved salted fish, named Okubo Tadashi, made a favor to himself and asked to return to the command of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
What’s interesting is that apart from his love for eating salted fish, Okubo Tadayo’s personal abilities were nothing outstanding. However, in the hearts of Tokugawa Ieyasu and the eyes of his ministers, this guy’s connections were incredibly high.
It can also be said that Tadashi Okubo managed to reach a high position as an important minister of the Tokugawa family by relying on interpersonal relationships. It must be said that he is also a miracle worker...
Okubo said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: Honda Masanobu is a good citizen and a very wise man, and he will never betray his lord again.
Any house governor would have rolled his eyes and complained that Okubo was mentally retarded, but Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't complain and actually believed Okubo's nonsense.
In real history, Honda Masanobu, this salty brother, really did not betray Tokugawa Ieyasu, but instead made important strategic decisions for Ieyasu's road to unifying the world, the Battle of Sekigahara, the Battle of Osaka, the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, etc.
, made great contributions...
From this, Tokugawa Ieyasu called Honda Masanobu his best friend, not his retainer, until his last breath.
As a result, Honda Masanobu became an important minister and obtained the daimyo's fiefdom, which continued to benefit future generations...
……………………
Two strange Tokugawa retainers expressed doubts and obstructions to Ieyasu's order to attack...
Tokugawa Ieyasu squinted his eyes and glared fiercely at Honda Masanobu and Sanada Nobuyoshi. He didn't know what he was thinking, but said nothing.
Ieyasu's younger brother, the God of War Honda Tadakatsu, seemed to be in sympathy with Ieyasu, and said with a disdainful smile:
"Honda Masanobu? I am ashamed to have the same surname as you, a retainer who rebelled against my master's family.
What's more, you were so shameless that you begged Okubo-sama to be your guarantee and returned to the Tokugawa family.
Now that my lord has gone out to attack Liang Yuan to avenge the Tokugawa family officials who died in the battle of Noda Castle, who do you think you are? Who do you have the right to say, and why do you stop me? Why don’t you stand down..."
Honda Tadakatsu's words seemed to have detonated a dynamite barrel, and a series of cynicism came out...
"Hey! What Master Zhongsheng said is absolutely true."
"Young man, you have no right to speak."
"Rebellious lord, do you still have the nerve to come back?"
"If it were me, I should have had a caesarean section to apologize..."
"Hey! I... I'm being abrupt!"
Honda Masanobu's face looked strange, turning blue and red and then white. He didn't know how to deal with the waves of attacks. He sighed and was speechless...
The cynicism of the retainers did not give up because of Honda Masanobu's retreat. Instead, they automatically shifted their target and directed it to Sanada Nobuyin.
"Sanada Nobuyin, isn't your third brother Sanada Masayuki a military commander of the Takeda family?"
"That's right? Are you here to rebel against the Tokugawa family?"
"When Anayama came to surrender, it seemed that Sanada Masayuki and his son all surrendered to the new governor of the Takeda family after the assassination failed.
It is said that Takeda Shiba is the illegitimate son of Takeda Nobutora and Shingen's biological brother."
"Tsk, tsk... it really is a deep brotherhood! The position of family governor was not passed on to the eldest son, Katsuyori, but to his illegitimate brother..."
Sanada Nobuyin's face was as weird and embarrassing as Honda Masanobu's, and he was silent in the end...
……………………
"Baga! Are you laughing at me, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who has no vision and cannot recognize people well?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu was a family governor who was sensible and could listen to honest advice. Otherwise, he would not have founded the Tokugawa Shogunate and allowed the people to live in peace without war for hundreds of years.
"ah?"
A group of Tokugawa retainers who talked a lot about their loyalty were stunned.
I'm sorry, did you flatter me wrongly?
Tokugawa Ieyasu squinted his eyes, looked at Honda Masanobu and Sanada Nobui up and down, and suddenly said:
"What's your reason for preventing me from going out into battle?"
Honda Masanobu and Sanada Shini looked at each other, and their eyes lit up at the same time...
……………………
Are there talented people only in the Takeda family?
The Tokugawa family also has extraordinary talents...
Liu Shiba, who was watching the development of the battle from afar, also secretly praised in his heart:
"When you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent!"
After half-approving, Liu Shiba turned around and muttered:
"The purpose of labor and management is to dig these guys' ancestral graves..."
As soon as he thought of it, Liu Shiba sneaked out of the formation to urinate, his eyes swept around, and he called softly:
