Volume 6 Recruiting people to hear the Luocheng flute, Chapter 834: Power
When Yu Qiupei and Tokugawa Ieyasu brought their people to the foot of Sunfu Castle, they were both sighing. They had all lived in Sunfu Castle, but the Sunfu Castle that year had been burned to the ground by Baba Nobuharu, and the current Sunpu Castle was built later.
Apart from the outline of the castle and the castle town, it is completely unrecognizable.
"Takechiyo." Walking in the streets of Sunfu Castle, Yu Qiuping sighed with emotion and raised his hand to point to the south, "I remember there used to be many snack bars here."
"I also have the impression." Tokugawa Ieyasu also pointed in another direction, "That's where the fabrics are sold, and a little further past is the samurai house. Many Hatamotos live there."
"The castle tower is over there, right?" Yu Qiuping stood up slightly while holding the horse's belly, confirmed the position by comparing it with the surrounding mountains, and then raised his finger and said.
Tokugawa Ieyasu glanced at the current castle tower, then looked at the direction Yu Qiupei pointed, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, it seems to be over there."
"The current castle tower..." Yu Qiuping recalled the layout of Sunfu Castle back then, and suddenly sighed with a sense of disappointment, "It seems to have been built where the Cuju venue was."
"Cuju venue?" Tokugawa Ieyasu was delighted when he heard this, "I have never been to one."
"I heard that you used to accompany His Highness the House Governor, so didn't he take you there?" Yu Qiuping turned sideways on his horse and asked in confusion.
"No, how could His Highness, the Governor, go to those places where common people gather?" Tokugawa Ieyasu showed a look even more puzzled than Yu Qiupei's.
"Hahahahaha... Then I'm afraid you were deceived by His Highness the Governor's appearance." Yu Qiuping couldn't help laughing, "You know, the first time I met His Highness the Governor was on this court. His Highness the Governor and the others
The team happened to be short of someone, so they called me to join. We played in the ring all afternoon and didn't lose a single game!"
"No wonder." Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded repeatedly in sudden realization, "I'm still curious as to why His Highness the Governor appreciates Momiji so much when he was just a commoner on the ferry. It turns out that you are good at kicking and kicking!"
"What, he must be interested in my talent." Yu Qiuping joked with a smile, "How could His Highness, the Governor, marry his daughter to a jester who only knows how to play Cuju?"
The two were talking and laughing. Under the guidance of the Takeda family Hatamoto, Amakihei and Tokugawa Ieyasu walked all the way to the castle tower of Sunfu Castle Honmaru. Takeda Katsuyori, Hojo Tsunari and others had been waiting here for a long time. Takeda Katsuyori's
He is younger than Yu Qiuping, but the beard on his cheeks and his somewhat weathered face make him look much older than Yu Qiuping.
After all the fierce retainers of the Takeda family saw Amakihei, the great enemy who wounded Takeda Shingen, killed Yamagata Masaki, and annihilated Chibei, they were all extremely jealous, and the atmosphere in the room also became a little restless. Many Takedas
The retainers of the family all adjusted their sitting postures, and looked at Yu Qiuping with provocative eyes, muttering curses on their lips. Yamagata Shoji, the son of Yamagata Masakage, even snorted coldly, clenching his hands into fists.
"Your Highness Takeda, what do you mean by this?" Yu Qiuping asked with some dissatisfaction to Takeda Katsuyori, who was sitting in the center.
"We are all loyal and brave warriors of Kai. We can't bear to see a female warrior from Suruga who was born as a foreigner like His Highness Jibu." Takeda Katsuyori disdainfully arched his hand towards Yu Qiupei, "I must have offended His Highness Jibu Haihan."
"Then may I ask, Your Highness Takeda, where are the seats for us?" Yu Qiuping took a look at the layout of the room, and only two rows of seats were reserved for those in the distance.
"Can't you see?" Takeda Katsuyori pointed to the last seat next to the door, "It's right there."
Yu Qiupei looked at Hojo Tsunari who was sitting next to Takeda Katsuyori. There was no emotion on the latter's face.
Seeing Akihei Ame and Ieyasu Tokugawa standing still, Takeda Katsuyori couldn't help but urge: "What's wrong, Your Highness Jibu? Your Highness Tokugawa? Why haven't you sat down yet?"
"If you want to sit down, I'll sit next to you, otherwise I won't sit down." Yu Qiupei shook his head without giving in. In this peace negotiation, Oda Nobunaga gave instructions, and he must let the world know that it was the Takeda family and the Hojo family that were defeated.
They pressed for peace, not that the Oda family wanted to negotiate peace.
As soon as Yu Qiuping said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more tense. You could faintly hear the sounds of the clothes and armor of many Takeda family retainers around, and some people even pressed their hands on the handles of their swords. Yamagata and several young samurai
He even overturned the table and stood up, scolding Yu Qiuping and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Yu Qiuping felt the murderous eyes coming from all around, and there was a slight trace of cold sweat on his forehead. At this moment, outside the house,
There was the sound of heavy footsteps. Yu Qiuping recognized them as Honda Tadakatsu's footsteps.
"Sir, the guards are not allowed in." The two Takeda family members at the door tried to stop Honda Tadakatsu, but they were pushed to the ground by the latter as if they were catching chickens. Honda Tadakatsu strode into the room and stood there.
Arriving behind Yu Qiuping, he looked around the room. Even with his back to Honda Tadakatsu, Yu Qiuping immediately felt the strong and cold murderous intent that burst out in that moment.
The room that was noisy and restless just now fell silent in an instant. Yamagata Shoji and others who were still yelling at him immediately lost their voices, as if someone had cut off their voices with scissors. The fierce-looking retainers of the Takeda family
They all looked at each other and took their hands away from the handle of the knife, not daring to make any small moves. A warrior who was pointing his finger at Yu Qiuping also retracted his arm tremblingly. Yu Qiuping could see that there were several people.
Their Adam's apples squirmed violently, and they broke out in cold sweat more than Yu Qiuping. These ferocious warriors were at a loss as if they were unarmed in the wild and encountered an irresistible beast.
Yu Qiuping looked back and saw that Honda Tadakatsu didn't even put his hand on the handle of the knife.
"Who are you?" Takeda Katsuyori regained his composure, pointed at Honda Tadakatsu and asked, "How can the guards come in here? Are there no rules?"
"The loyal and brave warriors of Mikawa cannot understand that His Highness Takeda is a vulgar person who comes from a mountainous background and does not know etiquette." Yu Qiuping imitated Takeda Katsuyori and cupped his hand, "I have offended His Highness Takeda Haihan."
Veins suddenly popped up on Takeda Katsuyori's face, almost on the verge of anger, and he glared at Honda Tadakatsu. However, Honda Tadakatsu simply raised his hand, held the scabbard under the handle, and then
He glanced at Takeda Katsuyori. The murderous aura as cold and biting as solid ice instantly extinguished Takeda Katsuyori's anger. He moved his body back and whispered angrily, "Give it to His Highness Jibu and Tokugawa."
Your Highness will grant you a seat."
After receiving the order, several nicknames of Takeda Katsuyori immediately moved out of the table seats and placed them in parallel positions with Takeda Katsuyori.
"Heihachiro, don't be rude, stand down." Yu Qiupei did not use the title of 'Nanosuke', but specifically called him by Honda Tadakatsu's world-famous name. He looked at everyone present with satisfaction because he heard
I shuddered at the name.
"Yes." Honda Tadakatsu nodded in response. He took one last look at the Takeda family ministers in the room. After watching them avoid looking at each other, he strode back out the door. The few who were killed by Honda Tadakatsu just now
Katsu pushed the Takeda family's Hatamoto who was on the ground to see Honda Tadakatsu coming, so they cautiously took a few steps back to avoid him, and watched him walk to stand not far from the door.

After a brief interlude, the atmosphere of the meeting became less intense. Akihira Ume, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Katsuyori Takeda and Tsunayoshi Hojo had already accepted the agreement previously reached by Akihira Ume and Genan Hojo in advance, so the negotiation process was not difficult. However,
, when the peace negotiation reached the last stage, a problem arose.
"Now that the exchange of oaths has been completed, please ask your troops to vacate Kawara Castle." Takeda Katsuyori took the oath from Uakiuhei's hand, then pressed the oath on the table and said.
"Your Highness Takeda, have you forgotten something?" Yu Qiuping spread his hands and asked in a low voice, "Where is Okabe Motobu?"
"His Royal Highness Okabe will naturally come to you after the incident." Takeda Katsuyori nonchalantly tried to excuse him, but Yu Qiupei said in a deep voice reluctantly: "Nothing happened. Okabe Gennobu has arrived, and Kamabahara Castle has been opened. That's it.
Simple."
Takeda Katsuyori frowned and stared at Amakihei, who also looked at him without fear. After the two were in a stalemate for a while, Takeda Katsuyori waved his hand helplessly and pointed to a house outside the castle tower.
, "Your Highness Okabe is waiting for you there, please do as you please."
"Thank you. I have confirmed that after taking Okabe Motonobu away, I will notify the garrison of Kabara Castle to withdraw. But if your army rushes to enter the city before our army has completely withdrawn, then I will treat it as
Because the peace agreement has expired." Yu Qiuping was worried about the safety of Kamahara Castle troops when they boarded the ship to retreat, and did not forget to warn him. Then, he and Tokugawa Ieyasu withdrew from the castle tower. He asked Tokugawa Ieyasu to retreat to Sannomaru and wait.
, he took his guards directly to find Okabe Motobu.
On the way to the inner room of the Honmaru, Yu Qiuping felt that his steps were getting faster and faster, and he couldn't stop at all. He had been waiting for this day for 20 years, and he had been waiting for this opportunity for 20 years, a full 20 years.
After the fire broke out in Minghai City, he had never had the opportunity to confront Okabe Motobu. Can the truth finally be revealed? Can he finally know what happened to the family governor?
The Yashiki was in sight, and several Takeda samurai around handed over their posts to Honda Tadakatsu. And Yu Qiupei could not wait to push the door open. On the tatami in the center of the room, kneeling on the tatami, a man over fifty years old with gray beard and hair sat.
of samurai.
Even though they have not seen each other for 20 years, and even though Yu Qiupei has only seen Okabe Motoshin for 2 years, Yu Qiupei will never forget the appearance of this enemy. The fire of revenge that was burning in his heart when he left the Imagawa family unjustly was once again aroused.
