Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 23: Suppress the Bandit

Yamamoto Kansuke, my ancestor, Li Xiao pulled his throat and cursed at the castle tower. However, it can only be purely to relieve the qi, anyway, to bully Yamamoto Kan help not understand Chinese.

   The reason why Li Xiao was so angry was the ten so-called ‘elite’ samurai sent to him by Yamamoto Kansuke. Looking at the physical fitness of these ten people, Li Xiao had to admit that Yamamoto Kansuke's ability to fool people was so powerful.

   Li Xiao was full of malicious guesses, these ten people should be the old, weak, sick and disabled who were eliminated from the samurai audition in the entire Suwa community. Then Yamamoto Kansuke was so embarrassed to give this group of cannon fodder to himself.

   Are you trying to kill someone with a knife? Li Xiao first guessed that his origin and identity, it is estimated that someone in the Takeda family had been suspicious, Shingen, Shinshige instructed Yamamoto Kansuke to do this, of course, it is possible that Yamamoto Kansuke himself thought so and used this method to kill himself.

   Of course, it's possible. I'm trying to find the bottom line of my ability. Kansuke Yamamoto is probably waiting for me to beg him. However, Li Xiao sneered, no matter what Kansuke Yamamoto thought, I would never let you achieve your goal.

   One day later, Gaoyuancheng Tianshou Tower.

   "Report to Lord Yamamoto, Lord Li Xiao has returned with a triumphant army."

"what?"

   Yamamoto Kansuke was shocked and stood up on crutches.

   The bandits he sent Li Xiao to exterminate were more than 100 people. Among them, there were more than 70 men who could afford to fight with weapons, and their fighting power was not weak. They also ransacked a village of a rich family. What's more, the bandits still have a cottage to stick to. He had sent ninjas to explore there before, and the terrain was very dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

   And Li Xiao only took ten people and took it. What kind of ability and strategy is this?

   Is this person really like the lord, who believes in Fangong's words, has unlimited abilities?

Yamamoto Kansuke found that he too underestimated this Li Xiao. Before, like anyone else, he thought that the opponent was nothing but a brave military commander. However, in the battle of Kawasaki Island, the iron cannon tactics that turned defeat into victory, and Uesugi Kenshin single-rided Lord Xinxuan was saved in front of him.

   This makes Yamamoto Kansuke feel that this person is not easy, is it true that Mingguo people are as good as him?

   "But," the samurai who reported the report hesitantly said again.

   "But what?"

   "But the bandits captured by Master Li Xiao, none of them put down their weapons."

   Yamamoto Kansuke limped, rushed to the top of the castle tower at an alarming speed, opened the window and looked out. Sure enough, under the town of Takato, Li Xiao and his ten samurai men took the lead, and behind them were bandits more than ten times as many as them. Most of these bandits have spears, naginata, etc. in their hands.

   This scene is like Li Xiao and his subordinates, but they are being held hostage by these bandits. But looking at Li Xiao and a person dressed up like a bandit leader, hooking their shoulders and putting them on their backs, it didn't look like they were kidnapped at all.

   "Master Yamamoto, do you want to beat the drums, summon the samurai, and stand ready to defend the city." The samurai suggested to Yamamoto Kansuke. It looks like Li Xiao rebelled against the Takeda family and colluded with the bandits to looting Gaoyuan Castle.

   Yamamoto Kansuke pondered for a while, and said: "Should secretly convene, don't make a big fuss, let the lord of the city, prepare to meet the enemy, must protect his safety, understand?"

   "Hi, but Yamamoto-sama, how about you?" The samurai immediately agreed.

   Yamamoto Kansuke snorted heavily, and said: "I personally go down and see what Li Xiao is doing?"

   When the big hand gate of Gaoyuan City opened, Kansuke Yamamoto rode his horse and rode solo to the earth bridge, calmly facing Li Xiao who was walking here and the group of bandits behind him.

After seeing Yamamoto Kansuke, Li Xiao showed a happy smile, and then shouted at the bandit behind him: "This is the famous man in his family. The fame is so powerful that he is the first in the Takeda family, Mikawa, Mino, and Chiryu. Lord Yamamoto Kansuke."

   The bandits behind Li Xiao replied in a loud voice: "See Lord Yamamoto."

   Yamamoto Kansuke breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these bandits didn't seem to be embarrassed, but what was not clear was how Li Xiao got them together.

   Li Xiao rode his horse and came to Tuqiao. After making sure that the bandits behind him could not hear his conversation with Kansuke Yamamoto, he said: "Master Yamamoto, these bandits, I will ask you in the future."

"What's the meaning?"

   Li Xiao laughed and said directly: "I have included all these bandits as samurai of our Takeda family."

   "Samurai?" Yamamoto Kansuke was taken aback, and only his eyes opened completely round. He pointed his finger at the group of bandits and said, "You have accepted all these more than a hundred bandits as samurai?"

   "Of course it's not all, you see, there are still many old people and women who are not, they can't become samurai."

   "Stop kidding," Kansuke Yamamoto said sharply.

   His big drink calmed down the bandit gang who were making fun of them, and looked at Kansuke Yamamoto and Li Xiao on the soil bridge in front of the city gate.

Li Xiao turned around and signaled to them that there was nothing wrong, and then walked into Yamamoto Kansuke one more step, saying: "Master Yamamoto, you see that the other party has already entered the town, you don't seem to be causing too much trouble, right? They, the bandits become aggressive, set fires, demolish houses, and force (haha) **** (haha) **** women and other things very often."

   Yamamoto Kansuke said in a serious tone: "Li Xiao, are you threatening me?"

   "Don't dare, Lord Yamamoto."

   "I asked you to exterminate these bandits before, not for you to accept them as samurai."

"Yes," Li Xiao said with a very innocent expression: "Master Yamamoto, you just let me kill the bandits. You didn't say whether to use force or to recruit and surrender. I used ten samurai forces. , The bandits who put down more than a hundred people without harming one’s record, can’t be said too much. Besides, do you really think that with me taking ten samurai, you can use force to destroy this band of bandits? Please, me It is not Gen Yoshitsune, Kiso Yoshinaka reincarnated and possessed."

Kansuke Yamamoto held back his anger, pointed his finger at the bandit, and said, "Then, do you think these people can meet the standards of a samurai based on their qualities? If so, the other samurai of my Takeda family will join this group of people. , Will be ashamed, they have tarnished the honor of the samurai."

   "Well this."

   Li Xiao turned his head and saw this group of bandits, just like those unqualified tour groups in later generations' attractions, everything was novel, pointing up and down at Gaoyuan City, and almost no group photo was taken.

   Li Xiao smiled and said, "Master Yamamoto, if you don't understand, you can teach it slowly."

"You don't need to teach it," Kansuke Yamamoto shook his head and said coldly, "I have already ordered the soldiers to set up an ambush. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can order an attack at any time, and none of these people need to stay. "

Thinking that this would turn into a killing field in a blink of an eye, Li Xiao just kept sneering and said: "Master Yamamoto, I don't know whether you are like this in Japan, but in Mingguo, there is a saying that being an official will benefit one party. As a vassal of the lord of the city, you are naturally obligated to take care of the lives of the local people. And these bandits were originally Shinano citizens? But because of the pressure of life, they had no choice but to become a thief. And you are The chief retainer, instead of reflecting on his faults in governance, he blindly slaughtered the people. Is this the so-called honor of a samurai?""

   Yamamoto Kansuke was silent for a while when he heard Li Xiao's harsh remarks.

Li Xiao saw that hard words had been said enough, and then said softly: "To give people a livelihood, teach them how to earn a living, and live and work in peace, isn't it the job that the place pursues? I don't think these bandits really want to be a samurai. What they really need is just a job, a livelihood that can support their family, what they really need is to live in this cannibalistic world."

   "I just heard that Gaoyuan City needs to be renovated recently. I think we can hire these bandits to work. As for how to settle them, there will eventually be a way."

   Yamamoto Kan helped Li Xiao finished speaking, and stared at him firmly, seeming to know Li Xiao again.

   Yamamoto Kansuke was silent, and Li Xiao stared back at the enemy in a motionless posture. The two people had three eyes together. Anyway, in terms of the number of eyes, Li Xiao was one-to-two ahead, and Li Xiao didn't suffer when looking at each other.

   In the end, Kansuke Yamamoto nodded and looked up at the towering tower of Gaoyuan City. He unexpectedly made an exception and smiled and said, "Very well, Li Xiao, just do what you said."
