Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

"I absolutely don't agree!" Honda Tadakatsu's face was dark, and his already vicious facial features looked particularly ferocious, just like a legendary evil spirit. Almost everyone subconsciously turned their eyes away to avoid this call People can't look directly at the face, "Oda Nobunaga's hand is too long!"

"Shut up, Heihachiro!" The first person to scold him was not Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was surprised by his straightforward words, but Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was sinking under the siege of his retainers.

Tokugawa Ieyasu seldom spoke so harshly.After he yelled loudly, making Honda Tadakatsu have to lower his still gloomy face and apologize in a low voice, the Tokugawa family governor looked away and landed on an unknown point on the beam.

A young man who is only in his thirties now, his life has already been filled with many misfortunes that are common in this era.Whether he was taken as a hostage when he was young, or driven by the Imagawa family when he was a little older, it was not happy for Tokugawa Ieyasu. People bully.In this kind of life that can only be dragged into disputes by the vortex of troubled times, the only bright color that is still warm is the moment when the Cheongju Alliance was concluded with Oda Nobunaga-Saburo forgave him for the past without hesitation. The Imagawa family’s crime of conquering Oda treated him as a candidate who could carefully propose an alliance, and praised him as an existence that could leave a great name in history.

It is also because of this alliance with Saburo that the Tokugawa family can gradually get rid of the predicament of being weak.

But that bright color is not entirely reassuring-it is precisely because Oda is allied with the Tokugawa family, and his relationship with his wife Tsukiyama Gozen, who is the adopted daughter of Imagawa Yoshimoto, has always been cold.

He has always trusted Saburo.

During the Battle of Anegawa, when facing Takeda Shingen, and during the Battle of Nagashino—as long as Saburo was with him, Tokugawa Ieyasu would not mind giving the initiative to Saburo at all. , whether it is in their own home court or not.He also knows that his retainers have always complained about his persistent trust, but for Tokugawa Ieyasu himself, it's not that he doesn't have his own opinions or is afraid of Saburo's power, but that he sincerely recognizes Saburo's power. Talent, and I firmly believe that Saburo will take the prosperity and failure of the Tokugawa family into consideration, not just want to protect the Oda family.Facts in the past proved to him that Saburo is indeed the kind of man who does not stick to tactics and tactics, and has great strength-even if the imbalance between Tokugawa and Oda's strength makes Tokugawa look like Oda's vassal, he does not think The alliance between himself and Saburo will break down one day.

But now, Tokugawa Ieyasu is a little uncertain.

He knew what would happen if his son Xinkang really succeeded in setting off a rebellion.Not only will Oda be stabbed in the back because of this, even he himself may not be able to save his life-not everyone is as lucky as Asai Hisamasa, who was taken away by his son Asai Nagamasa and still able to live well He lives in Asai's house, half father and half military advisor, and gets along with Asai Nagamasa.He, who is pro-Oda, and Nobuyasu, who is pro-Takeda, have different positions. The only way to resolve this conflict is the death of one of them—but this choice should not be made by Oda Nobunaga anyway! !

The person who suggested to him that he wanted to kill the eldest son Nobuyasu and his wife, Tsukizanden, should not be Oda Nobunaga!

Even if the other party just borrowed Hashiba Hideyoshi's mouth and didn't explain it directly to him, Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't accept it.It was as if the person who had been walking in front of him, as bright as the sun and the moon, suddenly shed the layer of skin that he admired, revealing the dark and ugly inside, which made him dizzy.

It's not that he's isolated from the world so much that he hasn't come into contact with selfish people... It's that after meeting Saburo personally and understanding what kind of person he is, he suddenly witnessed this reversal and became unacceptable.

Tokugawa Ieyasu is different from Akechi Mitsuhide, he and Saburo do not have that subtle and solid bond; he is also different from Matsunaga Hideo, he does not know the true origin of Saburo.Tokugawa Ieyasu, who has been in the Mikawa area all year round, does not have many opportunities to meet Saburo. Every time he meets, he is almost busy when he is preparing for a battle, visiting the New Year, giving gifts, etc. in a hurry, and there is almost no description of friendship.The little friendship between him and Saburo when he was young was only a few days - and at that time Tokugawa Ieyasu was the one who was tossed half to death under Saburo's unconscious "playing with you".

But even so, Tokugawa Ieyasu still had a glimpse of the essence of Saburo—he and Saburo were actually separated by hundreds of years, and he couldn’t understand the origin of Saburo’s character and the way he did things from that vague feeling. But he instinctively understands that being unaffected by personal likes and dislikes and treating other people's lives with prudence is the reason why Saburo can still stride unimpeded in this era, and it is also the most important part of Saburo's heart-wrenching personality.Once this bottom line is crossed, the person he has always admired will be assimilated into the most common type of existence in this era, and that fascinating figure will never appear again.

He doesn't think Oda Nobunaga's "hands are very long" like what Honda Tadakatsu said - even from the point of view of his retainers, even if Oda intervenes in Tokugawa's family affairs, even if it is justified, it is tantamount to humiliation .What distressed and trembled after he learned about Xinyasu was that Saburo's dazzling personality charm collapsed in front of him without any possibility of redemption. The selfish figure killed by his wife was already an existence that he dared not touch or associate with.

The current Tokugawa and the current Oda, the former will be exploited and even annexed by the latter.

Tokugawa Ieyasu almost had a splitting headache.

After letting his eyes wander for a while, the Tokugawa Family Governor, whose face was sinking like water, finally opened his mouth in front of his retainers, and said the second sentence since the military meeting began: "I'm going to see Oda Nobunaga."

His cheeks are round and his eyes are round and big. Even though he is about to enter middle age, his face doesn't look very intimidating. It's so peaceful that he doesn't look like a general who has been fighting for many years. Not as scary as the usual Honda Tadakatsu.But now, that face is still round to the point of lack of edges and corners, and the eyes are clearly the same pair of eyes that occasionally make people suspect that they lack courage, but they seem to be covered with darkness unconsciously, only relying on a harmless pair of eyes The skin bag to restrain the danger that is about to churn out.

"No, do you mean now?" Sakakibara Yasuo was the first to react, subconsciously persuaded, "His Highness Xinkang and his wife are still alive, if you go to find Lord Nobunaga now... I'm afraid it will provoke his anger."

Tokugawa Ieyasu called Saburo by name and surname. This is the first time since the alliance was formed! !Let Tokugawa Ieyasu go to see Oda Nobunaga at this time, something will definitely happen! !

But Tokugawa Ieyasu was not asking for his opinion.Although not as capricious as Saburo, almost no retainers dare to persuade him, but Tokugawa Ieyasu is also a tough person who rarely shakes his heart because of external things.Just like before, no matter how many times his retainers persuaded him, he insisted on thinking about the best of everything Sanlang did. Now, no matter who raised objections, or how many people stated their interests to him, he would not Will change my mind about this.

Only this matter, he must ask Saburo what he thinks.

"Then settle Xinyasu's matter first." Tokugawa Ieyasu said in an unusually calm tone, "Kogoro (Sakai Chuji) and Hataro (Okuhei Nobumasa) are going to choose horses."

"I want to go to Antu and present him with a good horse."

...Facing Tokugawa Ieyasu like this, all the advice of his retainers was silenced.Even if Tokugawa Ieyasu's expression was not vicious, the rare and deep aura made them dare not move rashly. After staring at each other blankly, Tadashi Sakai and Nobumasa Okheira who nodded "Yes" Under the leadership of the leader, they left the military meeting room in twos and threes.

Watching the retainers leave one after another, Tokugawa Ieyasu's vision became empty again, wandering aimlessly, only his expression remained cold.

Under Tokugawa Ieyasu's rare oppression, even if the Tokugawa family's retainers felt that Tokugawa Ieyasu's idea was not good, they had to prepare the horses according to what he said, and watched him go to Azuchi.The only thing that can make them feel lucky at this moment is that Tokugawa Ieyasu stayed with him despite his indifferent attitude before leaving, which still made them barely sure that Tokugawa Ieyasu had not lost his mind.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's mood didn't change much until he arrived in Azuchi.But at least he has the consciousness of being a family governor. When he meets the retainers and surnames who come and go in Azuchi City, he can smile briefly, and calmly continue to hide the unknown civil strife in Tokugawa. Except for the faint gloom, so that the retainers did not doubt his intentions and at the same time subconsciously did not approach him, Tokugawa Ieyasu followed the same pattern as before, first asking Hori Hidemasa to send a message to Saburo to get permission to see him Afterwards, he left the horses and the generals who came with him outside, and went to the Japanese room where Saburo was alone.

It seemed that after only a while, he stood in front of the Japanese room.

Through the half-opened sliding door, he could see Oda's former governor sitting inside without hindrance, the idle and lazy look he saw every time he met him.Discovering his arrival, Saburo, who was still young, immediately waved to him, and the eyes that met him when he raised his eyes were still as bright as a child.

"Ah, Ieyasu-kun, you're here. I was thinking of going to find you sometime soon." Saburo bluntly beckoned Tokugawa Ieyasu to sit down in front of him, "How are you?"

His relaxed tone did not comfort Tokugawa Ieyasu in the slightest.Tokugawa Ieyasu stared intently at his seemingly undisguised expression, shook his head slowly, and said slowly and clearly, "Thanks to you, I can't sleep or eat well."

"...Me?" Saburo pointed at himself in surprise, and then scratched his hair in trouble, "...then I'm sorry, what did I do—ah, is it your family's business?"

"Yes." Tokugawa Ieyasu said in an uncharacteristically direct manner that would scare his retainers to their knees, "I came here this time to get your answer—"

"Do you want to kill Nobuyasu and Senahime (Zhushan Temple)"

Saburo: "..."

Saburo: "Who is that? You suddenly asked me this—there is no need to kill someone you don't know, right? And the last name belongs to a girl."

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had been looking cold before, seemed to be a little touched when he heard the words.But he only closed his eyes for a few seconds, and when he opened them again, there was still condensation in his eyes: "You are indeed the kind of person who doesn't remember people who have nothing to do with you——if you don't remember it for a while, just let me know." I'll let you know."

"Sena Hime is my wife. Earlier, Tokuhime (Oda Gotoku) sent you a message saying that Sena Hime and Nobuyasu had colluded with Takeda, intending to force me out of the position of family governor. You send Mr. Hashiba to come Find out the truth, and I will tell you now, what De Ji said is true... such words!!"

"What do you want to do with my wife and eldest son?"

This is the anti-theft episode.

Sorry for drinking too much today.I'll take it easy now and then type.

Tokugawa Ieyasu sent the horse in July and did not go there by himself, so I changed it to September.
