Junfu Castle, the seriously injured Imakawa Yoshimoto was in a coma due to a high fever on the way to escape. After returning to Junfu Castle for more than ten days, he woke up under the careful care of his son and subordinates. ‘My father, you finally woke up.’

Imakawa Yoshimoto saw the suppurated arrow wound and knew that this was the moment he had returned. Looking at his son Imakawa, who was crying, he barely got up, "Shima."

Imakawa Shima quickly helped Imakawa Yoshimoto up, 'My father, please rest assured to heal. Don't move around. The doctor said that you can go to the ground by just resting for half a month and taking medicine well.'

Imakawa Yoshimoto waved his hand, "Don't lie to me anymore. I have been in a military life. I still know this. Once the wound becomes suppurated, even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will not be able to save it. I am just looking back. I am really a true man, do you know why I have to go to Luo?'

Shi Zhen guessed, 'My father should clearly control the three good deeds in the government and reshape our Ashikaga family's reputation.'

Imakawa Yoshimoto shook his head weakly, "It's not like that. Now Imakawa's three neighbors, Takeda, Hojo, and Oda, can still rely on the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms of the East China Sea to resist them when I am alive. If I am gone, they will be one by one, and the Imakawa family will be destroyed in a few days. Shi Zhen, you are even a master of tea ceremony, but internal affairs, military affairs and diplomacy are not good. So I want to send you to the position of the shogun in my lifetime. That place is idle. The more you have no ambitions, the longer you can do in that position. But I didn't expect that the Oda family defeated our 20,000 army with more than 10,000 people. Speaking of which, I'm really unwilling to accept it."

Imakawa was surprised and said, "My father, Hojo and Takeda families are both allies of our Imakawa family, especially the Hojo family. They have been in alliance with my Imakawa family for three generations. How could they attack us?"

Imakawa Yoshimoto laughed, "Masa, you forgot that the Hojo family has the blood of Hojo Saiyun. What's the point? Of course, the Hojo family is still trusted by the Takeda family. However, it's just trustworthy. The Imakawa family cannot rely entirely on allies. You have to remember."

Imakawa Shima said, "Yes, I remember. My father."

Imakawa Yoshimoto nodded, 'That's good, that's good. What's the situation now? Where has the Oda family fought?'

Imakawa Mama said, "My father, the son is useless. The Oda family retreated after occupying Sankawa, but the ungrateful Sankawa dog borrowed three thousand soldiers from Oda Nobunaga. The lord of the city of Zhama City, Izui, surrendered. However, he had sent reinforcements to Takatoshi Temple. Asahita Ao was already preparing for the cage."

‘You can’t blame him. No matter how you say it, I watched him grow up, just like his father. His original home was occupied, so it was normal for me to find a place to live here. I informed the city lord of Takatian Divine City, Aohina Taisho, to give up Takatian Divine City and take people back to Junfu Castle.’ Imakawa Yoshimoto pondered for a while, and finally made a decision.

Imakawa was stunned for a moment, and did not send a messenger immediately, asking, "Father, then we will lose the entire Tomeng Kingdom, so they can attack Suruga. The Takatian Divine City is tall and strong, and the defense of the Cage City will not be able to be captured for a month or two. At that time, we can ask reinforcements to repel them."

Imakawa Yoshimoto's voice gradually weakened, "No, give it to them. The Oda family is not our biggest concern. Besides, how could Oda Nobunaga allow his subordinates to occupy Suruga and the two countries of Torai? Isn't that another powerful Imakawa family? If Motokaku has a smart person under his command, he will not destroy our Imakawa family. You must know that once the Imakawa family is destroyed, Motokaku will face pressure from the Takeda family and the Hojo family. If Motokaku is a jackal, then Takeda Shingen is a tiger and Hojo Shinkaku is a vulture. We will recover all our troops to Suruga to prevent Takeda Shingen from going down the mountain. Remember, if necessary, you can ask the Hojo family to be reinforcements. But if Suruga is unable to do anything, you must not surrender to the Hojo family or the Takeda family. Become soft to Motokaku."

Seeing his father's voice getting lower and lower, Imakawa said, "Sir, don't say it, don't say it anymore. I know everything."

Imakawa Yoshimoto suddenly grabbed Imakawa's arm, opened his eyes wide, and shouted loudly, "Eighteen years later, I am still a hero."

After the last shout of the famous Tokaido general from the Tianshou Pavilion in Junfu Castle came from the last shout, then a cry sounded. A generation of famous generals fell. According to the orders of his father during his lifetime, the Imakawa clan made the lord of the Takatoshi Temple, Aohinata Ao from the Takatoshi Temple before Tokugawa Ieyasu besieged. At the same time, he sent an envoy to negotiate peace with Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Ieyasu Tokugawa, who was standing in front of the window of the Tenshou Pavilion in Takatian Temple, has never been so excited today in the past ten years of his life. His long hostage career has left an indelible mark on Tokugawa Ieyasu's heart. He used to be an illusory existence as a dream. Although he is still a subordinate of the Oda family, bowing to the strong in this troubled era is nothing. The only thing to worry about is the family members of all the retainers of the Tokugawa family stranded in Junfu Castle. But it doesn't matter. If your wife dies, you can marry again, and your son is gone. Only yourself is the most important thing.

Before Tokugawa Ieyasu finished his intoxication, a servant came to report, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Imakawa Masa sent an envoy to discuss peace." "Quick pass."

‘His Highness Tokugawa, I am here to return the hostages this time. For the friendship between the two countries, I brought all the families of Mikawa retainers this time.’ Okabe Masatotsune said humbly.

Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that the other party had to ask, and no one released the hostage for nothing. He asked, 'What are the conditions for the Imakawa family?'

Okabe Masato lies on the tatami and lowers his head and says, "Your Highness Tokugawa can hand over the traitor Mitsuo Ryu to us, I'm so grateful."

After Tokugawa Ieyasu calculated that after killing Mitsukoshi Lianlong, he could directly control the 50,000 stone of Mitsukoshi Lianlong. This guy surrendered without fighting. No one can use it with confidence. Surrendering will be addictive. With the first time, there will be a second time and the third time. I will use him to kill him to warn him. Tokugawa Ieyasu made a decision in his heart, "Mitsukoshi Lianlong surrender without fighting. If Lord Okabe Masatoki wants it, I will catch him immediately."

After a few words, the surrender faction was betrayed. Soon, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Tokugawa Ieyasu, discussed military affairs. After entering the Takatoshi Temple Tenshou Pavilion, he was subdued by Hattori Hanzo's uniform and handed over to Okabe Masatori. Before leaving, Okabe Masatori did not forget to sign a truce agreement with Tokugawa Ieyasuri that was not binding at all.

However, after this agreement, our mercenaries came to an end. After Tokugawa Ieyasu gave us a generous gift again, he personally gave it to us, and performed another old trick of giving it to him.

‘Ha, I didn’t expect that I didn’t fight much to help the Tokugawa family this time, so I took this thing a lot. It seems that we will have to come a few more times in the future. If we come so twice a year, I will be overwhelmed. At that time, I will buy two to buy a telescope and get a double-tube.’ Ikeda Hengxing checked the results of big bags on the ox cart without any scruples.

Akichi Mitsuhide and Niba Nagahide have gained similarly, but after hearing Yoshihide Ikeda’s remarks, they just smiled slightly. These days we are very close to Akichi Mitsuhide. Akichi Mitsuhide is humble and everyone still has a common language.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, I had to pour cold water on him and told Hiroki Ikeda, "I come back in the future and may be to rescue the Tokugawa family or help the Tokugawa family to quell the rebellion. There is no such thing as good as the matter."

Hiroki Ikeda was obviously not full yet. ‘If the Tokugawa family attacked Junfu, they would definitely invite us to be reinforcements.’

‘Don’t think about it, the Tokugawa family can invite us. The Imakawa family can still invite Hojo Shiyashi, which is the three-generation alliance of the Imakawa family and the overlord of Kanto.’ I explained to Hiroki Ikeda, ‘Besides, the lord has three kingdoms, how could it be that the subordinate Tokugawa family can take over the two countries and give him a Tokugawa family. Didn’t you see that Yoshida Castle has been taken back? It’s better to be honest with His Highness Nobunaga in the future. Is there any less war?’
