Samurai of the Takeda Family

Well, thank you Junning, Zhizhe, and Zombie 222 for their rewards.

　　 With Murakami and Yamamoto Temple reinforcements approaching, Li Xiao knew that he had to make up his mind.

Shioka Kazuwa whispered next to Li Xiao: "Sir, Isemo Kamizumi’s new Yinryu has thousands of disciples of its genre. Among them, Yanagyu Zongyan, Kaida Keikan, Maruki Nagae, and Treasurein Yinei They are all top masters. If you kill Shangquan, they will definitely not let you go. At the same time, they will offend many swordsmen in Kanto, and even cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and the Ashikaga general will be angry. So I think it is better to worship Master Quan is a teacher, has learned to'turn' and become a disciple of Shangquan, and his future is limitless."

　　 Shioka Kazuha was born as a swordsman. Naturally, I know how famous Kamizumi Hidetsuna is in Kanto.

　　 At this time, Masakura Sanada came from a distance on horseback and said: "Master Li Xiao, the enemy's reinforcements are coming soon, please leave as soon as possible."

　　 Li Xiao nodded, took a look at Shangquan Xiuzuna, and said: "Well, Master Shangquan, you can go now."

　　 Kamizumi Hidetsuna laughed and said, "Very good. Thanks a lot."

　　At this time, Li Xiao suddenly said: "However, I still stick to my original plan and will not become your disciple."

"Oh? Why?" Shangquan Xiuzuna asked in amazement. He knew that Li Xiao and the others would have the power to kill him. At the moment, Li Xiaoken let him go because he wanted to learn how to'turn'. , I didn't expect Li Xiao to say that he didn't want to be his disciple.

Li Xiaoyan said: "When I was in Ming Kingdom, there was already a master in the spearmanship. Although his old man has passed away, he is not going to worship other people as his teacher. And maybe the'turn' is indeed a high-strength swordsmanship. But for me, it is not necessary to learn."

Having said this, Li Xiao pointed the tip of his spear up to Quan Xiugang, and said in a deep voice: "Today I let your Excellency leave. I just admire Your Excellency as the world's number one swordsman, so I don't want to bully the widows and win with more. , Now I am here to challenge your Excellency. Three years later, I will personally meet with you in a decisive battle at Minowa Castle to decide the outcome!"

　　 Li Xiao's words surprised everyone, Shioka Kazuha was even more startled.

　　 Kamizumi Hidezuna was also taken aback, with his hands behind him, raised his head and laughed, conceited and proudly said: "I advise you to change your mind. If you are alone, you can't win me."

"You are wrong," Li Xiao interrupted Shangquan Xiugang, and said confidently, "Your swordsmanship has reached the peak, it is difficult to make progress, not to mention your old age, in three years, day after day. Every day, your vitality and physical functions are declining, and one day is not as good as one day. And I am still young, and my spear skills are improving every day. You can't beat me today, and you can't beat me in three years!"

After listening to Li Xiao’s words, Shangquan Xiugang said, “I didn’t expect that there is a strange man like Your Excellency among the people of the Ming country. Three years later, it is an honor for me to compete with Your Excellency. I take up your challenge."

　　 Li Xiao, Shigang Yiyu everyone mounted their horses and was about to raise the whip.

Shangquan Hidetsuna said remotely: "Li Xiao, although you and I cannot be masters and apprentices, and I belong to enemy countries, as soon as I see you today, I hope I can make a year-long friend like your Excellency. I welcome your Excellency to come to Mininawa City at any time. Come and talk about kendo with me. And in the duel after three years, I don’t want to be divided into life and death. Can I just use bamboo swords?"

　　 Li Xiao listened to Xiuquan Hidetsuna's words and laughed. He could say that, obviously treating himself as an equal opponent. It seems that it may be right not to kill Shangquan today. If Xiugang Shangquan uses his own power to break out of the siege, it will be Li Xiao and the others incompetent. And when he was able to kill Shangquan Xiuzuna, but let him go, this is a human favor.

Historically, Izumi Hidetsuna was a man who lived in a temple and had his heart in kendo. After the fall of Minion Castle, he served in the Takeda family of the enemy country. Therefore, Li Xiao did not worry about the story of a farmer or the legacy of raising a tiger. Appear on yourself.

　　 On the contrary, winning the friendship of such a world's number one swordsman might be of great help to Li Xiao in the future. Shangquan Xiugang, who has now won the title of No. 1 Juggernaut in the world, is the one who took hundreds of disciples and traveled around the Tsukahara Bu Chuan in the past. It is a figure whom every big name is regarded as a guest of honor and is admired by countless people.

　　 Li Xiao looked back at Izumi Hidetsuna, nodded and said: "Let's talk about it in three years!"

　　 "Drive!"

　　 After speaking, Li Xiao raised his whip and left this paddy field with everyone.

　　Shangquan Xiugang watched Li Xiao and the others leave, and sighed. At this time, he suffered an internal injury in his chest, and his mouth was full of blood. Shangquan Xiugang couldn't help but smile. He was just trying to support him. If Li Xiao and the others really embraced him, he really couldn't do anything.

　　 Only a moment later, a group of twenty or thirty-seven Murakami cavalry with Maruon's flags and objects on their backs rushed to the paddy field. Except for the corpses of the Nagano army, the Takeda army had no ghost shadows.

　　 Murakami Yoshiki riding a war horse looked at the corpses all over the floor, suddenly furious.

　　 In the darkness, he vaguely saw a white-haired old man standing in the paddy field, riding his horse immediately.

　　 drove the horse in front of the opponent, Murakami Yoshiki said roughly: "Hey! Old man, what are you doing? Oh, it turns out to be Ise Mori Ueizumi."

　　Murakami Yoshiki jumped off his horse and asked, "Isemori Ueizumi, isn't he in Kyoto? Why are you here?"

　　 Ueizumi Hidezuna glanced at Murakami Yoshiki, shook his head and said: "The Takeda army has attacked Ueno several times. How can I continue to stay in Kyoto, but I have something important here."

　　 "What about Nagano-sama Yegoo?"

　　 Kamizumi Hidetsuna said, "I was injured."

snort!

Yoshiki Murakami snorted angrily on the tip of his nose, and said: "The Takeda Army is only a few hundred troops, and Nagano Koguro was defeated in this way. It is too incompetent. Watch me lead the army to chase the Takeda Army and cut them to the top. "

　　 "Murakami, please be careful. There are several brave generals in the Takeda army. You should not underestimate the enemy. Especially the general Li Xiao from Mingguo, bravely won the three armies, you must be more careful."

　　 "I see," Murakami Yoshiki seemed to be totally indifferent, and Xiang Envoy said, "Go back and inform Takemata Kiyotatsu-sama, let him take his headquarters to guard Hao Castle, and the rest of the troops follow me to pursue the Takeda army."

Oh!

　　 The Murakami cavalry behind him replied in a loud voice.

　　 At the same time, in the night, a high torch was erected on Iwagaki Castle, shining brightly across the fields, and Takeda Katsuyoshi and Okuma Asahide were standing on Ninomaru's arrow scull and looking down at the castle.

　　 Just listen to the noise of horseshoes under the city, and there are teams of foot light teams appearing from the mountains one after another, which are constantly driving down the city.

　　 "Lord, look at the flag, it should be Echigo General Honjo prosperous!" Oguma Asahide pointed to Takeda Katsuyoshi.

　　 Under the curtain of night, the village prosperously led a thousand troops from Songshan City to the foot of Yanqi City. In Echigo, the lord of Honjo Castle, Honjo Echizen, guarded for a long time, and his reputation did not lie in the Kakizaki Kei family who was beheaded by Li Xiao.

　　 "Honjo is prosperous?" Takeda Katsuyori had obviously heard his reputation, and then he held a samurai sword at his waist and was thinking about it.

　　 Daxiong Chaoxiu said: "There are only six hundred troops in the city right now. If you go out of the city and fight with the Honjo army, you have no chance of winning. You can only hope that Lord Li Xiao and Lord Sanada will come back to rescue."

Takeda Katsuyori nodded. He is no longer the reckless boy he used to be. He naturally knows when he will be more likely to win the battle~www.wuxiamtl.com~ But Uesugi Teruto has sent nearly three thousand troops to take Hao Castle. Li Xiao, Sanada, and Baoke Masajun's six hundred military forces are now in a bitter battle. "Katsurai Takeda analyzed the words.

"His Royal Highness Katsurai, please bear with me, go to Lord Sanada Itokusai in the county prefecture, Lord Ken Obatake in Hyuga prefecture, and Lord Nobutoyo Takeda, Omorojo, where the messenger for help is already on the way. Two days, three days later. An adult’s reinforcements can rush to Azuma County."

　　 Takeda Katsuyori nodded and said, "That said, there is only this."

At the time when Takeda Katsuyoshi and Ouma Asahide were besieged in Iwagaki Castle, they sent six couriers to Sanada Kotaka, Ohata Kenshige, and Takeda Shintoyo for help. Halfway through, they were met by Uesugi Kenshin's subordinates. No one escaped due to the blockade of the ninjas of the Uesugi family.

　　PS: Finally, I have a little information about Nobuzuna Shangquan.

　　 Friends who play Taige know that Kamizumi Nobutsuna started to practice cultivating around after the fall of Minowa Castle and took in Yanagyu and other disciples.

In fact, the time of the fall in Minowa Castle was in the 9th year of Era (1566), and the time when the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiki was killed in the 8th year of Era (1565), and the name of the world's number one swordsman was Ashikaga Kazuki. For Shinzuna Shangquan.

　　 So in fact, before the fall of Minowa Castle, 8 years ago (1565) of Yonglu, Kamizumi Nobutsuna himself had already become famous all over the world.

According to the information, Shangquan Xingang had been in Luohe in the 6th year of Yonglu (1563) and met Liu Shengzongyan, and Shangquan Xingang gave Liu Shengzongyan the seal (existing) in the 8th year of Yonglu (1565). )April.

　　 Finally, for the plot needs in this book, Shangquan Nobuzuna's Shangluo schedule has also been advanced.
