Samurai of the Takeda Family

In the secret room.

When Li Xiao talked about money, he said: "If His Highness Yixin succeeds in attacking Shima Hot Springs, then he can hold the lord in order to order other retainers of the family. In this way, His Highness Yixin is equivalent to holding the lord in hand and take the lead. When it comes to righteousness, I can suppress you, your Highness."

"His Royal Highness Yixin will find a way to control Yuzakikan as soon as possible. Because there are most of the family members of his family in Yuzakikan, if His Highness Yixin controls Yuzaki, most of the elders of the family will see the house. His life is in the hands of Takeda Yoshinobu. Although he is still loyal to the lord, he will also acquiesce in the fact that Takeda Yoshinobu rebelled."

"After all, for most of the retainers, Takeda Yoshinobu is the future governor of the house, and the banner of the Takeda family can still be laid down. When Takeda Yoshinobu stabilizes his home, then he can calmly free his hands to deal with your Highness."

When everyone heard Li Xiao's words of Takeda Yoshinobu's various actions, they couldn't help being shocked. If Takeda Yoshinobu really acted like this, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh when he said this. It seems that in Japan, the daimyo paid little attention to his own security.

In history, there is not only the precedent of Oda Nobunaga being overturned at Honnoji Temple by Akechi Mitsuhide when he was closest to the unification of the world, but even the later Takeda Katsuyori almost suffered this bad luck.

It was the last time of the Takeda family, and Takeda Katsuyori ordered an increase in domestic taxes. This annoyed a group of local farmers in Kai. In their rage, they rushed directly into the bathhouse of Takeda Katsurai's hot spring and ordered him to reduce taxes, otherwise he would not rest with him.

It can be guessed that at that time, Katsuyori Takeda was under the coercion of a group of people with **** and fork, wrapped his naked body in a bath towel, and made a compromise with tears.

At that time, the dignified Takeda Patriarch, Takeda Katsuyori, a great name from several countries, was actually "forced to the palace" by the common people in his bathhouse. This was an unprecedented surprise.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao paused, and then said: "Besides, even if it fails, Yixin still has the most powerful trick, which is also the most lasting trick, which is to invite Hojo, Imagawa's family, and even Sugimoto in the north. Interfering with the family affairs of my Takeda family. At that time, His Highness Yoshinobu was equal to three more powerful aids out of thin air, Imagawa, Hojo, Takeda Yoshinobu, Uesugi Kenshin and the four forces divided the two countries of the family. From then on, the Takeda family will be divided and the foundation will not be restored. exist."

Takeda Katsurai slowly shook his head and said, "I still don't believe that my brother will come to this point. No matter who my Takeda family gets the position of home governor, their foundation cannot be seized by outsiders. My brother will not fail to understand this. ."

At this time, Masayuki Sanada said from the side: "His Royal Highness, please be sure to believe in Master Li Xiao. You think that in the past few years, Master Li Xiao has made any mistakes in the schemes of His Highness. So even though it is only a guess, the subordinates believe Master Li Xiao's judgment."

Li Xiao glanced at Masuko Sanada, but he didn't expect him to admire himself so much.

Hearing what Sanada said, Takeda Katsuyuki nodded, hammered his fist heavily to the ground, stood up and said: "I can't sit back and watch this. The family business inherited by the ancestor Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu must not be destroyed. At once."

After speaking, Takeda Katsuyori made a decision and said: "I will write a warrant to transfer troops from Ueno and Suwa to protect the safety of my father."

Sanada Kotaka hurriedly said: "Your Highness, no, the matter of His Highness Yoshinobu's rebellion is just our guess. As for whether His Highness Yoshinobu really instigated the rebellion, we have no conclusive evidence. His Majesty Yixin’s confession means that we will be jealous of the lord at that time."

"How is that good?" Takeda Katsuyori became more anxious and walked back and forth indoors.

Li Xiao pondered for a while and said: "His Royal Highness, you need to be quiet before the big event. Lord, His Highness Yixin has eyes and ears under his hands to monitor the Quartet, and they cannot hide from Ueno and Suwa."

"What do you mean by Li Xiao?" Sanada Kotaka asked.

Kicking Sanada kicked the ball to himself, Li Xiao smiled slightly, glanced across the crowd, and said: "We Mingguo people have a saying,'We must first get what we want.' The more we want to get, the more we want. If you don’t pay attention to him, the more you are on the guard, you want to put on a relaxed posture on the surface. If your Highness Yixin really wants to rebel, no one can stop this. Therefore, your Highness must relax outside and tighten inside. At this time, On the contrary, Ranwen Novels.com should not transfer troops from Suwa and Ueno to defend itself. On the contrary, it is better to return Sanada, Baoke, and Ohata to their respective territories with their respective samurai."

"Why is this? Isn't the power around me even weaker?"

Faced with Takeda’s puzzlement, Li Xiao smiled and said: “Yes, on the surface, it seems that the power around His Highness is decreasing, but in fact, he has jumped out of the current circle, settling on all sides, and lay out from the outside. At the time of the sudden change, His Royal Highness had foreign aid in response."

"Once His Highness Yixin rises, His Highness can use a secret letter at any time to send a few adults from Sanada to help. As long as it is delayed for two to three days, the army can rush to the reinforcements. At the same time, His Highness will send away several powerful retainers. In this way, we also put on an undefended posture to slacken His Highness Yixin’s vigilance against us."

Hearing what Li Xiao said about this, Sanada Xinglong gave a hum, nodded and said: "This is Li Xiao-sama, what you said is tight outside and tight inside."

"Yes," Li Xiao continued: "Even if by any chance, His Royal Highness Yixin controls the lord and occupies the Kuzuzaki Hall, His Highness still has room to take a step back. At that time, Ranwen Novel Network can reply to Suwa, Ueno. If I retreat, I will also lead my army back from Yuezhong to reinforce it. At that time, the two sides met each other in battle, and it was the scene I was least willing to see."

When everyone heard what Li Xiao said, they all felt reasonable. Rather than worrying about when Takeda Yoshinobu might rebel all day long at the Yusakikan, it is better to go to their respective territories and stand by and move, and at the same time they can show their power from the bright. To the dark.

Sanada adjusted his sleeves and looked at Li Xiaoyan and said, "I admire Li Xiao's insights. This is how you should respond. Your Highness, as Li Xiao suggested, let everyone return to their respective territories. , Your Highness has Changxing and Li Xiao by his side, it is enough for them to stay."

Takeda Katsuyori nodded and said, "Well, just do what Li Xiao said."

At this time, Bao Kezheng Jun said: "If we leave, if His Highness Yixin suddenly has an unruly intention with His Highness, what should we do?"

Yukaka Sanada said: "It's easy, and the safety around Your Highness is a necessary precaution. I will contact my ninja Moriki Deura in the past few days and ask them to send enough ninjas to monitor everything about His Highness Yoshinobu and Iifuku Tomasa. Movements and silences, and at the same time protect the safety of His Royal Highness."

Li Xiaoyan said: "I and Sanada-sama have seen the same thing. At that time, I will also send Shioka Kazuha, as well as several kendo masters who are close to the center, to stay with His Royal Highness as a guard."

Seeing Li Xiao echoing what he saw, Sanada Kotaka responded with a smile to Li Xiao.

When everyone heard about the safety of Takeda Katsuyori, Shioka Kazuha was the escort, and their hearts were immediately settled. The strength of this famous swordsman, as everyone knows, can be relieved a lot if he protects Takeda Katsurai. After that, everyone discussed in secret for a while, and made various countermeasures to Takeda Yoshinobu's uprising.

Hearing that Li Xiao and Sanada Kotaka kept coming up with response plans and supplementing each other to make them more thorough, Katsuyori Takeda and the others were thankful that these two people are now on their side.

Speaking of the appropriateness, Li Xiao saw that it was too late and stood up and said, “We should say goodbye. There will be bad criticisms."

Takeda Katsurai also nodded and said: "Now that things have happened, I have nothing to do but watch the changes. I hope that my brother will not take the risk and come to this step that no one wants to see."

Li Xiao heard the words and said: "His Royal Highness, I also hope that my judgment is wrong, otherwise this crisis will not be easy to get through."

Takeda Katsurai glanced at Li Xiao, chuckled, took a few steps forward, and opened the sliding door.

The cold wind hit from the outside immediately, blowing a chill on the body.

Takeda Katsuyori turned his head and said to the vassals: "Look, what a heavy snowfall."

The new year has just passed.

Various shrine ceremonies are held throughout Kai Shinano.

Among them, the biggest one is the Shinto Festival at Suwa Shrine, Mijinto.

During the Yuan day, Suwa Shrine's Shangsha main palace will first hold the sacred sacred frog hunting. The sacred sacred frog hunting is to catch nearby hibernating frogs and place them in front of the gods.

On the other hand, Mishinto refers to that when the winter is extremely cold, the surface of Lake Suwa is completely frozen. Because of the temperature difference, the ice surface in the middle of the lake will burst overnight, forming a strip of tens of miles long. The narrow water trail that connects Suwa Shangshe and Xiashe is called "Gojinto".

This natural scene is a miracle in the eyes of the unidentified people, because the upper and lower shrines of Suwa Shrine are separated from Lake Suwa, facing the lake.

Suwa Shrine The upper shrine is dedicated to Suwa, the clan **** of the Suwa clan, Suwa Daming, and the lower shrine is dedicated to Suwa Daming’s wife, Yasaka Toga, so the local people have said that this Oshinto is two gods from the sky. The traces left by the meeting flying over the lake.

In addition to the festivals at Suwa Shrine, there are also New Year ceremonies in the Takeda family. The most notable thing is that Takeda Shingen, in order to worship the Hachiman Daimyoji, held the traditional riding and shooting of the three objects of the dog.

Hachiman Omyojin is the clan **** of the Qinghe Gen clan, and the **** of martial arts believed by the samurai to represent his own martial arts.

Hachiman Daimyoji is also known as Yuya Hachiman. In Japan, Yuya is not only used for combat, but also for sacrificial purposes. Before the Heian Dynasty, military officials saw that the emperor held all bows in his hands. The status of bows was like that of civil servants. The fluorene board held in the hand.

So there is nothing better than holding a riding ceremony to worship Hachiman Daimyoji.

At this time Hoko Honesty, Masayuki Sanada, Asahide Ouma, Kenshige Obata, and other ministers of Takeda Katsuyoshige have returned to their respective territories and are on standby.

But when Takeda Katsuyori and Li Xiao heard that Takeda Shingen had summoned all the generals to hold the dog chasing ceremony, one of the three ceremonies of riding and shooting, their hearts were tight.

When the ceremony was held in the outskirts, not in the city, it was probably a good opportunity for Takeda Yoshinobu to initiate a rebellion.

Therefore, when Takeda Katsurai, Li Xiao and the others went to the meeting, they were all very vigilant and prepared to prevent accidents.

The venue for dog chase is a square vacant land with a length of forty rooms and a square, surrounded by wooden fences.

Then erect high platforms on the front and the left and right sides of the venue for the retainers and their families to watch.

As a veteran retainer, Li Xiao got a good position on the right side of the stand, while Takeda Katsuyoshi and Takeda Yoshinobu were both dragged by Takeda Shingen to the front stand to watch together.

Li Xiao could only see in the stands, Takeda Shingen, Takeda Katsuyori, Takeda Yoshinobu, and the three of them were happily sharing family relationships. They seemed to be intrigued by each other.

"It is estimated that nothing will happen."

Li Xiao wondered like this in his heart, and at the same time looked down the side of the grandstand. Sitting below was the mission of the Oda family who came to the Takeda family to pay homage this time. Among them were Oda Sakube Kanada and Li Xiao’s old acquaintances. , Takako Lord Kinoshita Tokichiro in history.

Seeing these two people, Li Xiao suddenly understood Takeda Shingen's intention to hold the dog hunting contest. It turned out to be a show of force for the Oda family.

This scene, connected with Takeda Shingen's intention to let Akiyama believers attack Mikawa Inu Castle that day, further confirmed Li Xiao's conjecture.

In fact, before the capture of Minowa Castle, even though Takeda Shingen had intentions to plot Suruga at the time, it was impossible to have the strength against Imagawa's domestic soldiers.

In history, Takeda Yoshinobu rebelled in the eighth year of Yonglu, and the castle fell in Minawa Castle in the nineteenth year of Yonglu. In ten years of Yonglu, Takeda Yoshinobu died and the Takeda-Imagawa alliance officially broke down. The Sichuan family reached a conspiracy and attacked the Imagawa family. At the end of the eleventh year of Yonglu, Shingen Takeda officially sent troops to Suruga.

If Shingen Takeda really had a plan to attack the Imagawa family, there would be no need to wait for nearly four years, such a long period of time.

And Shingen Takeda ordered Nobuya Akiyama to attack Mikawa, with three intentions.

The first is to beat the Tokugawa family, which is constantly devouring the sphere of influence of the Imagawa family, with Chen Bing behind, threatening Mikawa from the side, so that Matsudaira Ieyasu dare not let go and attack Toge country.

The second is to show their power. If the Oda Tokugawa family really wants to ally with the Takeda family, using this method will also increase their bargaining chips in negotiations and force the Oda Tokugawa family to come up with more favorable terms to win over the Takeda family.

The third ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ is to delay the expansion of the Tokugawa family. In order to intervene in Suruga and gain time in the future, it is best to stabilize the situation in Mikawa and maintain the status quo. Wait until Takeda Shingen is in the north and can suppress Uesugi. Qianxin, or the two sides make peace. At this time, Shingen Takeda could draw out his troops, march into Suruga, and seize the territory of Imagawa's family.

In addition, attacking the Matsudaira family was also a way to assist the Imagawa family. Not only did Takeda Shingen calmly resolve the problems that Li Xiao posed to him, but also gained reputation in name.

Of course, Li Xiao guessed that in the bottom of Takeda Shingen's heart, he already had a peeping heart for Suruga, a piece of fat. This is human nature, and anyone sitting in his position would think so.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao glanced at Takeda Yoshinobu, but for Takeda Shingen's hard work, whether Takeda Yoshinobu can guess from the bottom of his heart.

Li Xiao is hard to estimate. He doesn't know whether his provocative plan is useful, but he has settled in his heart. It is this year in history that Takeda Yoshinobu has indeed rebelled.

Just as Li Xiao speculated, the dog chasing ceremony began. . ..
