Lina married Sanada Yukimura, believing it to be a blissful marriage but only to have her father-in-law, Lord Masayuki...

"Come on guys. Let's continue on Lina sama's trail. As part of Oshu, Kojirou sama's life is in danger and it's us Date's responsibilities too." Shigezane broke the tension with a wry smile and Lord Shingen sighed before clearing his throat.
"Alright so here's the plan. Kansuke and Hotaru, be the bait for the enemies. Saizo and Yuki will back the two of you up. Lord Masamune, take your army to enter from the back of the territory and Lord Masayuki, you have to divide your army into half and attack from both sides of the area. Nobuyuki and I will charge from the front..
"Divide the Sanada army into half??? But milord I will be greatly and vastly outnumbered!"
"With us around will you still be outnumbered?" Lord Nobunaga and his retainers suddenly landed in the clearing around Lord Shingen and the others...
"Huh? What's happening???" Shigezane asked in bewilderment as Lord Nobunaga huffed with a smirk.
"We're way away ahead of you for this plan Lord Shingen. Ieyasu's retainers have managed to infiltrate as spies among the rebel camp so we know the way in and out better than you."
"Impressive." Lord Masayuki nodded as he crossed his arms. "But did you bring your army?"
"Pfft. What army? It's just us!" Toshiie spoke triumphantly as Hideyoshi grinned.
"Yea so Lord Masayuki will attack from one side and us from Owari will take the other side."
"Just us is enough as it is. We're talented so please don't underestimate us." Mitsunari spoke confidently as Mitsuhide shook his head with a soft smile at his comrades' boastings.
"Did you forget about me?" Lord Kenshin spoke from a tree and when all of them looked up, he's with all four of his retainers and they're all each on a tree too...
"Who's guarding your castle if all your retainers are with you?" Lord Nobunaga frowned at Lord Kenshin who just laughed lightly at his comment.
"Please just my normal soldiers are enough to take on powerful enemies."
"Confident are we?" Ieyasu chuckled..
"Oh if it isn't the failure of a husband... Sanada Yukimura was it?" Kageie mocked at Yukimura from his tree. "I heard how Hime sama is also now pregnant with your child... Shame isn't it?"
Yukimura gritted his teeth as Yoshichi chided his comrade.
"Come on Kageie! We're all supposed to be on the same team right?!"
"Well I can't help it since he doesn't deserve Hime sama..."
"You seriously need to stop picking a fight with everyone you meet Kageie." a retainer of Lord Kenshin with black hair, said in a bored voice as he leaned backwards onto the tree trunk. "One of these days I swear that mouth of yours will get you into serious trouble."
"Whatever Kagetsugu! Mind your own damn bloody business!"
"Seven hells are we even going to start on this mission or what?!" Kanetsugu huffed in frustration as he raked his hand through his dark brown hair.
Lord Shingen held up a hand to get everyone's attention before clearing his throat again...
"Alright if that's the case, Lord Nobunaga and Lord Kenshin, you two work together to attack from one side while Lord Masayuki will take the other side. As I said before, Nobuyuki and I will attack from the front..." he then turned to Yukimura with a serious expression...
"Shigezane and Mitsuhide will rescue Kojirou and Sasuke respectively... I... won't take you off this mission Yukimura.. But instead of attacking, you'll be solely in charge of rescuing Lina sama... No attacking. Is that clear?"
Yukimura's blue eyes widened before quickly bowing gratefully to Lord Shingen.
"Understand milord."
"Great, in that case. Let's move out!" Lord Shingen ordered as he pulled the reins of his horse...
