Samurai of the Takeda Family

Li Xiao glanced at Kinoshita Tokichiro, and said, "So it is His Royal Highness Nobunaga. Did Mr. Kinoshita come to bed?"

Tokichiro Kinoshita nodded and said: "Yes, His Highness Nobunaga has been following Your Excellency for a long time, and you appreciate Master Li Xiao very much. He said that as long as Master Li Xiao agrees to return to the Oda Clan, he can become the lord of the city and obtain the Oda Clan. A general who is a general and can lead an army by himself, and is not subject to the restraint of His Highness Nobunaga on weekdays."

　　 Li Xiao was slightly surprised, he had to admit that Oda Nobunaga's price was quite good.

Kinoshita Tokichiro continued: "Lord Li Xiao, Mino Saito Yoshiro is dead, and my Oda family will go north soon and conquer the whole of Mino. The attack on Mino under the command of His Royal Highness Nobunaga is precisely what made meritorious deeds. At that time, compared to the expedition to Echigo, the battle with Uesugi Teru, the incarnation of Bishamon, is self-evident."

"He who wins Mino can gain the world. After the capture of Mino, my Oda family is the closest to Gyeonggi. If it succeeds in going to Luo in one fell swoop, His Highness Nobunaga's prestige will be spread in the world. At that time, it will be the talent of Master Li Xiao. Under the banner of His Royal Highness Nobunaga, isn't it ten times more successful than in the Takeda family? It's not a problem to seal a hundred thousand shi and twenty shi, and get the lord of a country."

　　 If you are ignorant of the world, or someone who doesn't know anything about it, you may now sneer at Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro's words.

　　 As far as the strength of the Oda family and the Takeda family is concerned, most people still think that although the Takeda family is a bit farther away, it is powerful and the master is strong. The hope of Shangluo is much higher than that of the Oda family.

　　 But as Li Xiao who travels through the crowd, he understands that every sentence of Kinoshita Tokichiro corresponds to the general trend of the world in the future.

　　 In the next ten years, when the Kanto twins, Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin are still pinching each other, Oda Nobunaga takes advantage of the momentum, and Oda Nobunaga takes only five years to capture Mino. Six years later, he defeated Mingmen Hexagon, Miyoshi, and supported Yoshiaki Ashikaga and officially went to Los Angeles.

After 　　, the rise of the Oda family can be described as rapid, and can only be described in the words "unstoppable."

　　 From the perspective of taking advantage of the situation that Li Xiao has always believed in, working as a retainer in the Oda family, with Oda Nobunaga’s soaring wind, can easily take advantage of the momentum to succeed and soar into the sky.

　　 With the devil's eclectic attitude to promote talents, and its ambition to dominate the world, Oda Group Co., Ltd. was the most promising company in Japan at that time.

　　 Li Xiao thought of this, but secretly said, what a pity.

　　 The main reason why he was reluctant to go to Oda’s family was because Oda Nobunaga’s actions were unreasonable and his attitude towards his retainers was also uncertain.

　　 An careerist like Oda Nobunaga is also the most difficult boss to serve. When he moves, he yells at his subordinates. Even Kinoshita Tokichiro, who is most fond of Oda Nobunaga, is in danger of being beheaded by Oda Nobunaga.

　　 In fact, the more violent side of Oda Nobunaga's character in the later period, the more unquestioned he is, chasing after the prestigious ministers, killing people at every turn, and the reason is arbitrary, and no one can tolerate criticism. Even Kinoshita Tokichiro, and his confidant who pulled up with a hand by Mitsuke Mitsuhide, was also trembling, for fear that his wealth and life he had fought for half a lifetime would be taken away.

Nobunaga Oda was too strict and harsh. Before the change of Innoji Temple, Akechi Mitsuhide was served by Oda Nobunaga as a guest of Tokugawa Ieyasu because the fish offered was not fresh, and there were also a series of vassals and generals of the Tokugawa family’s Oda family’s retainers. In front of him, he punched and kicked Akechi Mitsuhide on the spot.

　　 At that time, Mitsuhide Aichi was already the commander of a large front army of the Oda family. He had tens of thousands of generals and he needed majesty. Oda Nobunaga just because of his own anger, regardless of his feelings, he fights as he speaks, leaving no affection for the other party at all.

　　 In fact, if there is no change in the inneng temple, there will definitely be a second wise Mitsuhide.

　　 And serving such a lord, it really makes Li Xiao feel very insecure.

　　 In contrast, Takeda Shingen and Takeda Katsurai are not mean and widowed bosses. At the same time, they respect Li Xiao very much and are generous. When Li Xiaochu came to Japan, Shingen Takeda was afraid that Li Xiao would not be able to adapt to Japanese etiquette and gave him the privilege to avoid kneeling by his retainers.

　　 This makes Li Xiao very useful as a traveler.

　　 So for Li Xiao, Oda Nobunaga is not a good boss.

Li Xiaoan sat on the stack of seats as if sternly, and said sternly: "Mr. Kinoshita, when I was wandering, I was taken in by Lord Profound Master Xuan Xuan, and later let him be the spearmanship teacher of His Highness Shenglai. Later, he served for His Highness Shenglai, and His Highness also I regard it as a confidant, and treat me more favorably. So Takeda's kindness to Li Xiao is as great as a mountain."

　　 "If Li Xiao abandons the Takeda family for the promise of His Highness Nobunaga or for his own ambition to make contributions, what kind of person would you think of Li Xiao?"

　　 Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro shook his head after hearing this, and said, "Master Li Xiao, are you stuck with justice? This is really unwise, Nobunaga..."

"It's not unwise," Li Xiao took over Kinoshita Tokichiro's words, and said, "I have already thought very clearly, and like Mr. Kinoshita, I very much believe in the abilities and courage of His Highness Nobunaga and his future achievements. For the letter I am very grateful for your hospitality. Mr. Kinoshita, I am very sorry, but please reply to His Royal Highness Nobunaga. Li Xiao cannot agree to him."

　　 Seeing what Li Xiao said was very clear, Kinoshita Fujiyoshi also understood that it would be useless if he continued to stalk him, and instead made the other party underestimate himself.

Tokoshiro Kinoshita nodded and said, "I admire the talents of Lord Li Xiao, and I cannot be with Your Excellency Nobunaga as a minister. I really regret that I am here. I hope that in the future, you and I will not meet on the battlefield. ."

　　 Li Xiao nodded and said: "Kinoshita-sama, as a samurai, you can't choose your opponent by your own will. However, Kinoshita-sama's words and talents are also very admired in Shita, and I hope to have the opportunity to visit Kinoshita in Cheongju in the future."

　　 After hearing this, Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro was very happy and said: "If Li Xiao-sama, it would be Kinoshita's honor to be able to come to Cheongju."

　　 After saying goodbye to the two, Li Xiao sent Kinoshita Tokichiro to the door, and Kinoshita Koichiro saw his brother come out, stood up quickly, and saluted Li Xiao very politely.

　　 When Li Xiao saw Koichiro Kinoshita, his heart moved slightly, and his mind became active.

　　 Historically, Kinoshita Tokichiro was able to become a man of the world as a humble person. His younger brother took a lot of credit. He saddled him before and after running. He can be described as the second figure in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's camp.

　　 Kinoshita Koichiro and his brother are as important as Takeda Shinshige's relationship with Takeda Shingen.

　　 When Kinoshita Tokichiro was away, he often entrusted his younger brother with important responsibilities. He was a talent who could stand alone. Later, in the Toyotomi world, Kinoshita Koichiro accounted for at least 30%.

　　 At the same time, Koichiro Kinoshita is very courteous and restrained, and at the same time he treats people and things like an elderly person. This is why the Toyotomi family loves Chen's admiration~www.wuxiamtl.com~Although he has such great achievements, he never takes his name, so his light is often hidden under his brother and not known by others. Know.

　　 Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro has such a brother support, he is really lucky, and the Oda family will inevitably have a battle with the Takeda family in the future.

　　 So this Kapok Fujiyoshi must be a general of Oda Nobunaga, a terrible opponent of the Takeda family, and Li Xiao felt it necessary to weaken his strength.

　　 When Li Xiao thought of this, he pointed his finger at Kinoshita Koichiro, and asked Kinoshita Tokichiro knowingly, "Ms. Kinoshita, who is this person?"

　　 Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro replied: "He is my brother Koichiro Kinoshita."

　　 Li Xiao nodded and said: "Kinoshita-sama is so extraordinary, I must make my brother very capable, dare to ask him what job he is in the Oda family now?"

Kinoshita Tokichiro shook his head and said, "Master Li Xiao is too acclaimed. Kinoshita is no more than a small part of Nobunaga's lord, and Koichiro has only been on my side for only a year. He is still waiting to establish his merits and become my Oda family. warrior."

Li Xiao made a look of surprise and a pity on his face, saying: "How can a talent like Koichiro be squeezed into a foothold? Li Xiao is not a talent, but he admires the talent of Mr. Kinoshita very much. , This time your Excellency came to donate horses, but I didn’t expect it to be repaid, so how about letting Ling brother officially become a samurai under my command?"

　　 As soon as Li Xiao said this, Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro and Kinoshita Koichiro brothers were all stunned.

The expressions of the two brothers are also different. Koichiro Kinoshita showed a look of yearning for a moment, but then he looked sideways at his brother's look, and then lowered his head, while Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro's face was silent, but his heart But he was swearing, which is nothing short of a joke.
