Samurai of the Takeda Family

Li Xiao put out the flames in the firepit, and looked at Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro and said: "Thank you, Mr. Kinoshita, for the gift. I have a saying in my country that "gifts must be asked for by others", whether it is a gift or a courtesy, or Kinoshita. Your lord explained his intentions and collected the Tokoname yaki from the bottom of the house.

Fujikoshiro Kinoshita said with a smile: "My lord is too good at talking and laughing. Last time I visited, I knew that I was a man of righteousness, and now I am afraid to persuade your Excellency to join my Oda family."

After a pause, Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro said in a serious tone: "Tajima Shou-sama, this time His Highness Yoshinobu has rebelled, Imagawa will intervene in the internal affairs of the Takeda family to help His Highness Yoshinobu seek the position of the Takeda family. Whether it is the next or the lord, I am very indignant about this. Therefore, the lord’s intention is to ask the Takeda and Oda two families to form an alliance and jointly defeat the Imagawa family."

Li Xiaoyan said: "This matter was decided by the Lord, Lord Kinoshita seems to have found the wrong place."

Kinoshita Tokichiro shook his head and said, "Tajima Shou-sama, it’s not the wrong place. As far as I know, His Royal Highness Katsuyori also wanted to ally with the Oda family at the beginning to take advantage of Oda’s power. , Contend with the Imagawa family behind His Royal Highness Yixin."

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Master Kinoshita, what you said is correct. His Royal Highness Shenglai had this plan at the beginning."

Seeing Li Xiao's admission, Kinoshita Tokichiro punched the palm of his hand and took a step forward, saying: "Master Li Xiao, now the elder of the Takeda family, and as the most trusted person of His Highness Katsurai, he definitely has enough power. Promote the Takeda family to accept the alliance with Oda."

Li Xiao thought for a moment and said: "Please forgive me for speaking out, it is not my opinion. Now other retainers have suggested to His Highness Shenglai that before His Highness Yixin was present, His Highness Shenglai needs to weave in order to fight against His Highness Yixin. The Tian family’s help maintains a balance of power with the Imagawa family. Now His Highness Yoshinobu loses power. His Highness Shenglai is no longer necessary. To be honest, at this time, if his Royal Highness Wang Shenglai is married to the Hojo family, it will be a better one. Good choice."

He Zhengsheng who was on the side heard Li Xiao's words, and he was furious, saying: "You guys are rebellious."

Li Xiaozheng said: "Master Fengsuga, the warring states are chaotic, everything is profit-oriented, if you follow justice, I think the Oda family and Uesugi family should get closer together."

After talking, Li Xiao looked at Kinoshita Tokichiro, but he was calm, his expression unchanged.

Li Xiao believed that he understood what he meant. Before Takeda Yoshinobu rebelled, it was Takeda Katsuyori who asked for an alliance with the Oda family. Now, Takeda Katsuyori no longer has that absolute necessity.

Anyway, it is impossible for the other party to hold the position of governor of the Takeda family anymore, so if this is the case, who can't marry Takeda Katsuyori, but must look for the Oda family?

The Hojo House is indeed quite suitable.

What's more, now that the Jiajun League is on the verge of rupture, then the Jiajun League is the last resort of the Takeda family.

Although the main house of the Hojo clan is the daughter of Takeda Shingen, but it is also a good choice to have another marriage to deepen the relationship between each other.

Presumably Takeda Shingen had this consideration too.

Tokoshiro Kinoshita avoided this topic and said, "Master Li Xiao, the alliance between the Takeda family and the Hojo family is indeed beneficial. If the Takeda family wants to develop in the direction of Suruga in the future, it will inevitably conflict with the Hojo family. If so, the Takeda family. Maybe you need the help of the Oda family more."

Li Xiao's eyes narrowed, and Tokichiro Kinoshita was right. The Takeda family's aggressiveness in Suruga was tantamount to violating the Hojo family's allowed bottom line, and it would be difficult for the two families to continue their alliance.

In this way, if it is not possible to ally with Oda Tokugawa, then after the capture of Suruga, the Takeda family will fall into the conditions of a two-line battle.

But this is not enough.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, and did not answer in silence.

Seeing this, Kinoshita Tokichiro took another step, leaning closer to Li Xiao, and said with blinking eyes: "Sir, have you ever thought about His Highness Yoshinobu's rebellion has been settled for a few days. At this moment, Mr. Taishan has imprisoned His Highness Yoshinobu, but he is too late. Unable to make the final decision, the adults feel that the wisdom of Master Ether Food, what are you still hesitating at this moment?"

Hearing what Kinoshita Tokichiro said, Li Xiao didn't feel it at first, and only then grasped the key point. At this moment, he was finally moved by Kinoshita Tokichiro.

Li Xiao took a deep breath. He had to admit that he had indeed missed this point. At the moment, he admired Kinoshita Tokichiro and said: "Your master's grasp of people's hearts is really terrible."

Kinoshita Tokichiro smiled and said, "As long as the two parties reach a decision, it is in each other's favor, right?"

Li Xiao smiled and said: "Kinoshita-sama is eloquent, and I admire him. I understand that I will report this matter to His Highness Lai, and promote the alliance between the Takeda family and the Oda family as soon as possible."

Hearing what Li Xiao said, Kinoshita Tokichiro immediately exclaimed: "For this, I would like to thank Master Li Xiao, and wait for the good news."

Then the three discussed a few more words, and Li Xiao sent Kinoshita Tokichiro out of the museum.

Under the drizzle, Li Xiao looked at the small figure in front of the museum, thinking that if the Oda family and the Takeda family compete for the world in the future, it would be really unpleasant to have an opponent like Fujiyoshiro Kinoshita.

Takeda Yoshinobu must die

This is the meaning behind Kinoshita Tokichiro's words just now.

The reason why Takeda Shingen is unable to deal with Takeda Yoshinobu is because of his consideration of the Imagawa family.

At the moment, the Takeda family and the Uesugi family to the north are at war, and the two sides are fighting each other.

If at this time, the Imagawa clan is to be guilty again, then the Takeda clan will face the danger of being attacked from the north and the south by the two major forces. Only the end of destruction.

So Shingen Takeda is considering whether to tolerate this incident involving the Imagawa family.

Perhaps the Imagawa family can give a reasonable explanation and make a certain amount of compensation, so at least on the surface Takeda Shingen is willing to go down the stairs and continue to maintain the alliance of the Imagawa family.

At least to maintain the superficial harmony, this account, Takeda Shingen, will definitely be kept for later calculations.

But if so, Takeda Shingen takes care of the relationship with the Imagawa family, and Takeda Yoshinobu's life must be saved. In other words, he is also the son-in-law of the Imagawa family.

For Takeda Katsurai and Li Xiao, this is a situation that cannot be tolerated.

As far as politics is concerned, cutting the grass must eliminate the roots or not step on it.

Therefore Takeda Yoshinobu must die.

If an alliance with the Oda family that is hostile to the Imagawa family is reached~www.wuxiamtl.com~, then the alliance between the Takeda family and the Imagawa family will be completely severed.

In this way, Shingen Takeda can let the alliance Oda and Tokugawa restrain the Imagawa family behind him, and continue to fight Echigo himself.

Once the importance of the Imagawa family is lost, Takeda Yoshinobu will be of little use value to the Takeda family.

And Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro's remarks hit Li Xiao's psychology in one fell swoop.

Seeing Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro's back disappear into the rain, Li Xiao secretly made a decision in his heart.

He must be killed before his power is strong. I should find an opportunity to send a ninja to assassinate the opponent, so as to relieve my troubles.

"Yiyu, hurry up to prepare the horse, I'm going out, first go to the hall of His Royal Highness Shenglai." Li Xiao said to Shigang Yiyu behind him.

Two days later, Shingen Takeda convened a meeting of the elders of the Takeda family and the retainers above the general level and announced the marriage of the Takeda family and the Oda family. . ..
