Chapter Five Hundred and Nine: Alienation? We will also use it
"Haha, this time we have really won a great victory. Not only did we win Bai Qi's head, but we also killed Luo Cheng. All of this is the credit of General Takeda! Don't worry, General Takeda, I will definitely not treat you badly." Oda Nobunaga was in a very good mood now. Looking at Takeda Shingen and said to Takeda Shingen.
"Thank you, lord." Takeda Shingen immediately bowed to Oda Nobunaga and said.
"Haha, okay, let's be here for the time being today! All the generals are tired, so they all go back and rest. It won't take long for us to unify Japan. At that time, even the great man will not want to ride on us." Oda Nobunaga smiled and asked everyone to go back and rest.
After Takeda Shingen returned to his residence, he was about to rest, but at this moment, a knock on the door suddenly rang out.
"Who is it?" Takeda Shingen couldn't help but frown when he saw this and asked outside the door.
"Go back to General Takeda, I am the deputy general Tokugawa Ieyasu, whom the lord has arranged for you." After hearing Takeda Shingen's words, Tokugawa Ieyasu outside the door said to Takeda Shingen.
"Tokugawa Ieyasu? Oda Nobunaga actually arranged this guy to be my deputy general. I'm afraid that it's true to give me the capable subordinates. Monitoring me is Oda Nobunaga's real purpose!" After hearing Tokugawa Ieyasu's words, Takeda Shingen couldn't help but sneer. Sure enough, Oda Nobunaga still didn't believe him completely.
"The last general Tokugawa Ieyasu has met the general." Although Takeda Shingen knew the purpose of Tokugawa Ieyasu's arrival this time, he still opened the door. When the door was opened, Tokugawa Ieyasu said to Takeda Shingen very politely.
"Haha, General Tokugawa is polite. Come on, General Tokugawa comes in quickly." Takeda Shingen laughed when he saw this, and then let Tokugawa Ieyasu enter his house.
Then, Takeda Shingen took Tokugawa Ieyasu to his house. The two of them were just talking about family matters at first, but they soon got into the topic. Takeda Shingen looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu and asked Tokugawa Ieyasu: "General Tokugawa, as far as I know, you are under Oda Nobunaga's command, not just above ten thousand people, but you are also a person who has a certain right to speak. In terms of status, you will definitely not be under the recruit who has just joined. If I said correctly, the lord seems to not trust me and want to send you to monitor me!"
After being asked so bluntly by Takeda Shingen, Tokugawa Ieyasu inevitably felt embarrassed, but it was impossible to tell the truth. So he said to Takeda Shingen: "The general is too worried. The general has made great contributions to the lord not long ago. In terms of military achievements, I am afraid that there are not many people in the entire army who can compare with the general. Therefore, your position is above me. I Tokugawa Ieyasu is also convinced by the general. Please dispel your doubts!"
"You are serious about this? If you say so, will General Tokugawa be willing to listen to my order?" Hearing this, Takeda Shingen's expression suddenly became strange. He looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu and said to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
"But with the general's order." Although Tokugawa Ieyasu felt a little uncomfortable with Takeda Shingen's attitude, he still said to Takeda Shingen.
"Okay, then I will order you from my superiors to tell me all the truth about the lord calling you!" After hearing Tokugawa Ieyasu's reply, Takeda Shingen's tone instantly became serious. He looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu and said sternly to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
"This..." Tokugawa Ieyasu hadn't reacted to this sudden change. When he saw Takeda Shingen's eyes, he didn't know why, but he couldn't speak.
"If you don't answer, it seems that General Tokugawa has already agreed to my guess. I know that this is not the original intention of General Tokugawa, and I don't want to pursue this matter. However, there is one sentence that please General Tokugawa can tell his lord on my behalf, and some things must not be done, so that your subordinates will be heartbroken. In order not to fall into the hands of the great man, I have completely betrayed Lu Rui. If the lord does not trust me so much, then there will be no place for me Takeda Shingen to be in this world. At that time, I am afraid that I can only apologize for death." Takeda Shingen sighed and did not continue to ask. After saying these words to Tokugawa Ieyasu, he had already issued an order to send off the guests.
"This... thank you General Takeda for his understanding, so I will take my leave first. Please never do anything stupid." Since your identity has been discovered, Tokugawa Ieyasu will naturally not continue to stay here with a silly face. After bowing to Takeda Shingen, he wanted to leave here.
"General Tokugawa, wait!" Just as Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted to leave, Takeda Shingen suddenly called Tokugawa Ieyasu and said.
"Huh? I wonder if General Takeda has anything else to do?" After hearing Takeda Shingen's words, Tokugawa Ieyasu turned around and asked Takeda Shingen.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little curious about some things. General Tokugawa's status in the army is probably not low. According to the information I knew before, General Tokugawa will not even be inferior to General Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Oda Nobunaga has no descendants so far, so the possibility of it will be slim in the future. Therefore, the heirs in this position are likely to choose one person from his subordinates to inherit it. At present, it seems that the most likely candidates for this inheritance are General Tokugawa Hideyoshi and General Tokugawa. Why are you willing to monitor me with such an identity?" Takeda Shingen looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu and asked Tokugawa Ieyasu.
According to information, Oda Nobunaga has never had children because he was injured before, and there is almost no possibility of having children. Now Oda Nobunaga is 40 years old. If you want to choose an heir, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who are only about twenty years old. This matter is not a secret even if you are outside, so Takeda Shingen said this.
After hearing Takeda Shingen's question, Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes dimmed, but in the end he didn't say anything and left Takeda Shingen's residence directly.
"Haha, it seems that what I was thinking is right. Oda Nobunaga now prefers Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In this way, Oda Nobunaga has been trying every means to weaken Tokugawa Ieyasu's power. According to Tokugawa Ieyasu's temperament, are you really willing to accept such an ending?" After Tokugawa Ieyasu left, Takeda Shingen just sneered. Now Tokugawa Ieyasu has planted the seeds of darkness. Let's see how this seed can develop!
"Lord, my subordinates are incompetent and have not completed the task you assigned to me. General Takeda..." Afterwards, Tokugawa Ieyasu directly found Oda Nobunaga and knelt on one knee to explain it carefully like Oda Nobunaga, but in the end it was still not successful. Before Tokugawa Ieyasu finished speaking, Oda Nobunaga had already cursed at Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Baolish, you can't do this little thing well. What's the use for you? Get out of here!"
