Azuchi

In the next three years, Nobunaga continued to kill the Quartet and expand his forces to sweep away the opposing forces, while Ieyasu methodically and slowly eroded the area where the Takeda clan and Shunfu were handed over.

Since the last time I met Nobunaga at the celebration banquet, the other party finally or temporarily lost all goodwill towards Ieyasu—whoever said that a man’s face and self-esteem are greater than the sky, he would not show it in front of so many important retainers of Nobunaga. Save face, enough to break up.

After the breakup, everyone gets together and disperses. After all, there is still an alliance relationship that advances and retreats together.

It's just that Nobunaga never stepped into Mikawa's territory again, and Ieyasu remained indifferent and became more homely.

If there is any cooperation, either Hashiba Hideyoshi or Maeda Toshiie will come to discuss, or Ieyasu will send his advisers there.

Finally, the new head of the Takeda Clan managed to manage his internal affairs reluctantly, and the next step was to throw out an excuse to attack the Tokugawa Clan.

No way, under the attack of the Uesugi and Hojo clans, the Takeda clan not to mention the heavy casualties, at least the territory has shrunk a lot.In order to regain a victory, Takeda could only pick Tokugawa, a relatively soft persimmon, to pinch, hoping to get rid of the plight of being bullied and cut off supplies.

Ieyasu was very calm, and after writing to Nobunaga to explain the situation, he took his future heir Matsudaira Nobuyasu to the battlefield to practice.

It's not that Ieyasu is not nervous, but that there is no need to be nervous at all. The only thing Takeda can do is the well-disciplined cavalry equipped with guns and Takeda Shingen's decisive resourcefulness.

Now Lord Shingen is gone, and things like fire/guns are leftovers for Ieyasu.

There is no way, a man is not a man if he does not come into contact with one or two dangerous prohibited items.

When I was a student, I was forcibly brainwashed by a gun-controlling student about the history of gun development for a long time. Later, I was lucky enough to touch the real guns that the classmate secretly hid, and I had a lot of fun.

When Nobunaga asked a gunpowder expert to form a fire/gun team, he had already vaguely brought the history of gun development that he remembered to the expert.

It's a pity that cross-age cheats are not very effective. The old man is too stubborn, insisting on slowly pondering and improving himself, and refuses to be disturbed by laymen.

In desperation, Ieyasu did not dare to face Shingen's armored cavalry, so he could only set up an ambush in Hamamatsu Castle as a last resort.

Now that three years have passed, the fire/gun team he envisioned was finally completed in secret. Among them, Nobunaga directly affirmed Ieyasu's idea without any doubts as the most critical element.

Nobunaga has already replied, expressing that he can't wait for the fire/gun team's debut in actual combat, and during the period when Nobunaga arrived, it was Ieyasu's actual combat education for Xinyasu.

In the end, the Takeda clan and the Tokugawa Oda allied forces launched the final decisive battle in Nagashino. As expected, the Takeda clan was defeated, and the dejected remnant soldiers fled back to Kai, exhausted.

Ieyasu was not interested in these, he propped his chin and looked with great interest at the handsome and indistinguishable boy of about 12 years old quietly following Nobunaga, and casually pushed Nobunaga a cup of freshly brewed tea.

Nobunaga curled his lips in disgust, stared at the ordinary tea in the ordinary teacup for a long time, and drank it with a frown.

Although the taste was not bad beyond his expectation, and it still had a calming medicinal fragrance, but he was still dissatisfied - all the things he sent were gone, and this person insisted on leaving him so clean?

"Where are the high-grade tea sets and tea leaves that I gave you?"

"Of course it's put away." Ieyasu had an expression of you knowingly asking, with a standard gentle smile on his face, and the deep alienation and indifference on his body has been lingering all the time, except for the flash of teasing in his eyes, "If What if you smashed it if you don’t like it? I like those things very much.”

Nobunaga was choked up, what could he say?If the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come?How come the new ones?he sent?What is his reason for sending it?In other words, why does he have to try so hard to please the other party! ?

Still, his venomous tongue instantly killed the other party. After admiring Nobunaga's aggrieved expression, Ieyasu spoke slowly.

"That musketeer/gun team is not bad, it has lived up to your hospitality and cultivation, and became famous in the first battle."

Nobunaga didn't pick up on this, and took another sip of this obviously refreshing herbal tea, with a bland expression and no signs of happiness or anger.

"Ashi and Nonghime are living well with you, and they are better taken care of than staying with me."

and then?

Ieyasu tilted his head and waited for the next sentence with a puzzled face, but it turned out... there was no more.

Ieyasu, who felt that he had been raped, glared at Nobunaga, only to find that Nobunaga sat down and fell asleep with his brows stretched, which was rarely relaxed here.

It's no wonder that Nobunaga hasn't had a good rest these days, following the war closely with the tendon in his head. Now that he relaxes, he accidentally falls asleep.

Ieyasu threw down the tea lid that was skimming off the tea foam in his hand, pulled off his coat and put it on Nobunaga, and then greeted the well-behaved but silent child Mori Ranmaru with a smile.

"Wake him up in an hour, or he will have stiff and sore bones all over his body." The almost whispering voice did not escape Sen Ranmaru, who had sharp ears and eyesight. Watching his master.

The gentle reminder continued, "There is a dedicated servant outside, you can tell him anything you want."

Mori Ranmaru was silent like air, Ieyasu smiled and didn't care, went out and closed the door lightly.

As soon as he left the yard, the gossip-loving Hanzo hung upside down from the tree, not at all as steady as a father.

"That child named Mori Ranmaru has terrifying potential."

Ieyasu gave him a sideways glance, "Your junior?"

Hanzo shrugged helplessly, and regretfully said, "It's my opponent."

There are also comparisons and competitions among ninjas, not to mention the civil strife in several big families in Iga where Hanzo originally belonged, and another ninja organization that is said to be comparable to Iga is Koga.

Ieyasu nodded and listened to it. He was not interested in the power that had already surrendered to Nobunaga, so he left Hanzo, who was still chattering in amazement, to see his grandson.

In the past three years, the Tokugawa family has added two cuties, one is the baby girl Xueer born by Nohime, and the other is the son Takechiyo who was born by Xinyasu and Tokuhime.

Cough, don't complain about the name Bamboo Chiyo, at least he has used it, his son has used it, so it doesn't matter if his grandson uses it, right?

The others were about to cry because of the tragic naming ability of their protagonist. Fortunately, this was just a nickname in childhood, and there was still time for a formal name after Yuanfu.

After leaving the tea to cool down, he sat and took a nap for a while before Nobunaga slowly opened his eyes.

He stretched out his hand to play with the belt of the coat that didn't belong to him, pushed the cold tea away with even more disgust, and then looked at the smart and beautiful child beside him.

"Alan, what do you think of Tokugawa Ieyasu?"

Senlan Maru paused, as if organizing his words.

"He's scary."

"Oh, where is the horror?"

Nobunaga opened the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, his black eyes narrowed slightly, perfectly not revealing any emotions.

Mori Ranmaru did not hesitate, and shared his findings and analysis one by one.

"Master Ieyasu is too calm and rational, or rather ruthless. If he is an enemy, he has no weaknesses. If he is an ally, he can withdraw at any time... But the lord is a special existence to him, and the above inferences are not valid. Be applicable."

His fingers with thick calluses tapped the table rhythmically, Nobunaga half-closed his eyes and sneered, "It's not enough."

He knew that he was the most special existence to Ieyasu, but he was fed up with Ieyasu's indifferent attitude, and it was very uncomfortable to hang up and down.

"You can't have both, I want to have the best of both worlds." Nobunaga snorted coldly, his black eyes revealing that he must win, "How about I take a gamble?"

Mori Ranmaru doesn't comment on this, he is already calm and mature at such a young age.

Not long after, Nobunaga built a city called Azuchi in Lake Biwa and personally supervised the construction, announcing that Gifu City would be managed by his son Oda Nobutada and inherit the position of head of the family.

After abdicating, Nobunaga still held on to his power firmly, and on the occasion of the New Year, he detained De Ji, who came to congratulate him with his children.

After the new year, Oda Nobunaga publicly announced that there was an informer that Ieyasu's only son, Nobuyasu, had an affair with the remnants of the Takeda clan.

Tokugawa Ieyasu: ...
