Chapter 1158 The Takeda family seeks peace

After the tea party was held for the temple shrine, Masarara opened up a large training ground in the west of Junfu Castle in the name of Imakawa.∮

The military rules of the Luo family have gradually begun to be implemented within the Imakawa family. Due to the acquisition of Suruga Kinsuro, the Imakawa family's annual income has increased by tens of thousands of jin. Since the finances are relaxed, it will naturally start to increase the military training of the Luo family in the local area and recruit new recruits.

In terms of training, under the guidance of the instructor of the Luo Family Military Pavilion, the recruited recruits easily learned various cooperation and tactics of the horse riding team. While galloping at high speed, they could easily cut the heads of the grass man with a long knife, and some could even cut several grass man left and right continuously and accurately. It was not a problem to directly pull onto the battlefield.

For infantry training, new recruits and veterans are mixed together to train formation and fighting skills. The head of the group and the general patrol back and forth in the queue with horse whips, and if they are dissatisfied, they will beat them. The soldiers who are beaten cannot move around, and can only stand up straight and wait for their boss to stop and explain the reasons before they can continue training.

In the first month of training, I often heard "Shin Hachisuke, turn around and turn the direction is wrong, whip ten."

"When you are exploring ten, look around and whip fifteen."

Article 3 of Luo Shiliu's Military Art: Instead of slowly and temptingly teaching soldiers, it is better to let them use their bodies to remember what actions are in line with the command.

Just as Masara was inspecting the training of the Imakawa family, the Takeda family sent an envoy to seek peace. The visitor was Yukitaka Sanada, the important minister of the Takeda family.

The place where we meet above is naturally the tea room in Junfucheng.

After both sides were polite, Yukitaka Sanada took the initiative to say: "I heard that Imakawa Kazuka Takarachichi incense burner had appeared in a tea party before, so I would like to watch it. Please help me."

In the Warring States Period, it was very normal for guests to propose to appreciate the owner's tea utensils. What's more, Yukitaka Sanada hoped to take the opportunity to bring closer relationship with Masaru, thereby reducing obstacles to the negotiations between the two sides.

You should know that Sanada Yukitaka originally thought that the person who met him was the Imagawa family's governor, Imagawa family. At this time, Imagawa family's age, he would not be his opponent. As long as he negotiated a little, he would naturally improve his relationship with the Imagawa family. But now he met him, Masara, who suddenly appeared in the Imagawa family as a "military advisor", really didn't have much confidence, especially when he learned that Masara in front of him was the general who had personally defeated the previous governor of the Takeda family, and he felt even more nervous.

Masara also learned about Yukitaka Sanada's small abacus, but he did not refuse Yukitaka Sanada's request. So, under his order, the exquisite refreshments and the Chidori incense burner were delivered soon.

Yukitaka Sanada picked up the incense burner and couldn't let go. "The famous instruments I've seen are only tripped by leeches."

Legs are also famous tea utensils in the world. Their status is still above the Chidori Incense Burner. Yukitaka Sanada was not stingy and said that the leeches looked like and shared with Masara. In the Warring States Period, only when they were "tea friends" could they talk about the feelings of famous utensils.

After carefully savoring the tea, the host and the guest were both happy, and soon. It was getting late. Yukitaka Sanada put down his last sip of tea, looked at Masara, and expressed his burden: he asked the Imakawa family to reconcile with the Takeda family.

"If the lord agrees to reconcile, the Takeda family is willing to offer five thousand stakes of money and one hundred war horses to the Imakawa family."

"No, no, if the Takeda family wants to reconcile with the family, they must first completely withdraw from the Mikawa and Tomeng countries, and hand over all the people and territory of the Suga family, Amano family and other Yama Fang people to the family. In addition, they must compensate the family for 3,000 taels of gold and 200 war horses, send the legitimate son as hostages, write a guarantee letter for not fighting, and sign the seal. Not agreeing is the business of the Takeda family." Masayoshi already knew that the Takeda family was dead at this time. The Takeda family was in an internal tension, so he naturally wanted the lion to speak loudly, so he immediately asked.

"Ah!" Sanada Yukitaka was choked up by the conditions and finally swallowed his saliva: "Sir, such conditions are equivalent to making Takeda surrender. Takeda's family is definitely unacceptable, so please make sure to change the conditions."

"If the adults are worried that the reward is too low, I will do my best to deal with the adults." said Yukitaka Sanada.

"That's why I sat here to discuss with Lord Sanada instead of leading troops into Takeda's house." Masara didn't blink: "I'm the winner."

Faced with Masara's request, Yukitaka Sanada had no choice but to send Masara's conditions back to the Takeda family to see what reaction would be made within the Takeda family. Masara naturally did not make any sense to ask the Takeda family for advice. Anyway, during this period, he was also planning for the next plan, and there was time. After the truce with the Takeda family, it also provided certain guarantees for the Imakawa family's next action.

A few days later, Yukitaka Sanada asked Masara again.

"I cannot accept the previous conditions." As soon as I saw Masara, Yukitaka Sanada said without hesitation.

Masara never thought that the Takeda family would agree to the conditions at the beginning, but just tried the Takeda family's reaction, so he simply said: "Please tell me about the Takeda family's conditions."

"Five hundred taels of gold."

"It's too low!" Masarara shook his head, and then said directly, "Master Sanada, the conditions of the Takeda family are too different, so I can't agree. Since the Takeda family is not sincere, I'll see you off." After saying that, he was about to leave.

"Sir, please wait." Yukitaka Sanada did not expect Masara to be so straightforward, so he quickly said, "The Takeda family is willing to pay a thousand taels of gold and a hundred horses. He is also willing to withdraw from the Mikawa Kingdom and the Tomeng Kingdom, but I ask the Ikawa family to truce the battle with the Ikawa family, and also ask the Ikawa family to open the Fujigawa Mountain Road immediately, and the merchants are allowed to transport salt and rice into the Takeda family."

"Although it has been increased a little, it is still not enough." The Takeda family's price still did not reach the bottom line, and Masara still shook his head: "One thousand five hundred taels of gold, one hundred war horses, and hostages must also be sent as a guarantee for the reconciliation between the two families. The guarantee letter can be noted. In addition, the Takeda family must hand over the territory of Yamakaya Sect to the family." In fact, Masara had already compromised, that is, this time, as long as the Yamakaya Sect is in the Sanhe Kingdom and the Far River Kingdom, the people of the Yamakaya Sect did not ask for it anymore.

As for the Yamabashi, since the Imakawa family did not take the initiative to ask for personnel, which made the Takeda family too embarrassed (if the person was handed over, no rich family would be willing to join the Takeda family in the future), Sanada Yukitaka had no objection, so he was considered accusation.

However, Yukitaka Sanada felt that the requirement of sending hostages was still a bit harsh, so he immediately countered: "To ensure the settlement, the Imakawa family should also send hostages. The Takeda family alone gave hostages, and the reconciliation cannot be guaranteed. And the territory of the Yamaba community can be handed over to you."

"It's OK, but it's meaningless." Masara smiled and sarcastically said: "There is a basic point in the negotiation, Lord Yukitaka, don't forget it." He paused and said word by word: "It's the Takeda family who is asking the Imakawa family, don't make any mistakes."

Yukitaka Sanada was speechless and finally said that he would go back to Takeda's house and ask his lord for his reply.

Masara agreed to wait a few more days. The negotiations could not be delayed, and Yukitaka Sanada ran back to Takeda's house quickly.

A few days later, Yukitaka Sanada had no time to rest, so he ran back to Junfu Castle to see Masara.

"I am willing to provide 1,500 taels of gold and 100 war horses, and the territory of Shanfang Sect can also be handed over to you. But the hostages ask for another request."

"The governor of the Youfang family is really tough." Masara looked at the exhausted Yukitaka Sanada and suddenly thought of his third son, "Send your third son, I will agree to reconcile." Yukitaka Sanada's third son is Masayuki Sanada in history. According to his age, Masayuki Sanada at this time was only fourteen and five years old. After being brought to him, he can still train him.

Yukitaka Sanada was startled by Masayoro's sudden request. He was silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Ha! Please wait for me, my third son will be sent here soon."

"Okay, since that's the case, then I will agree to your truce request. In addition, the salt passage can be temporarily opened." Zhengliang also agreed immediately.
