Samurai of the Takeda Family

In a meditation room at Huilin Temple, Takeda Katsurai sits under Takeda Nobuhira.

When Takeda Shinhana heard Takeda Katsuyoshi's story, Takeda Yoshinobu's rebellion, Fantomi Tiger Masazu's abdomen, he just sighed, and he was silent.

Takeda Masaru said: "My uncle, because of my brother's rebellion, all the servants are panicking, so I'm here this time and I invite my uncle to come out of the mountain to assist my father and deal with major family affairs."

Nobuhiro Takeda chuckled at this, turned the rosary lightly in his hand, and said, "Shiro, is this really what you meant?

Katsura Takeda heard it and was speechless for a while.

Takeda Nobuhira seemed to have insight into everything, and looked at Takeda Katsuyoshi, "Shiro, this is what you mean by someone else coming to ask me? I guess the person who can ask you this is not Sanada Kotaka or Li Xiao, right? ?"

When Katsuyori Takeda heard Takeda Shinshige's words, he knew that his intention was revealed, and his face became very red.

Indeed, it was Li Xiao and Takeda Katsuyoshi who said that among the Takeda family, Takeda Shinshige was the only one who was not inferior to Takeda Shingen.

You must know that Nobuto Takeda was partial to Shinhan, and he deliberately changed the family superintendent to his inheritance.

After Shingen Takeda banished his father, Nobuhiro Takeda vowed to assist his elder brother, which made the Takeda family survive that period of crisis, and all the servants knew about this.

Because of Takeda Shinhan's selfless deeds, the retainers of the Takeda family admired him.

This time Takeda Yoshinobu lost his power, so in case Takeda Nobuhiro returns to the vulgar and fights for the position of household governor, it is not without his chance that he is in the center of the retainers.

In Li Xiao's eyes, after the battle on Chuanakajima, Nobuhiro Takeda escaped from history and did not die. He had to calculate this. If he had the intention of fighting for the house governor, he had to take precautions early.

Finally, Li Xiao asked Takeda Katsuyori to test whether Takeda Nobuhira had the intention of coming back out of the mountain.

Unexpectedly, Takeda Katsuyori was not good at disguising, and was immediately seen through by the wise Takeda Shinshige.

Takeda Nobuhiro took a look at Takeda Katsuyori, put down his rosary, and smiled slightly: "Shiro, you and Taro, I grew up looking at you, so I understand your temperament. Taro has been silent since childhood. , Seems quite stable, but your heart is quite heavy, but you are on the contrary. You are straightforward and seem a little frivolous, but you face your heart and don’t pretend, so you don’t have bad intentions."

"So I originally guessed that if you were not as good as Taro before the age of thirty, you should be better than Taro after the age of thirty. But you have done it now."

"Uncle." Takeda Katsuyai regretted what he meant by tentatively just now.

Takeda Nobuhiro stopped his hand and said, "You don't have to feel guilty. If you ask me if I intend to come back out of the mountain, then I will answer you. Twenty years ago, I would not compete with my elder brother for the position of family supervisor. I won’t fight with you. The Takeda Nori stable back then is just a monk, and he has no intention of secular matters, so he can sit in meditation at Huilin Temple with peace of mind."

Seeing this, Takeda Katsuyori was so touched that he bowed to the ground and choked with words: "Katsurai still asks his uncle to come out to help his father rebuild Takeda's house. Katsuyori feels that he is not capable of consciously."

Nobuhiro Takeda laughed and put his hand on Takeda Katsuyori's back, saying: "You don't have to be like this, Katsurai I said, I am very optimistic about you. I have seen you like this in the past few years, I am deeply pleased that the successor of the Takeda family, but I I think it should be my elder brother who is more happy. I have a hunch that in you I will see the Takeda family seize the world one day."

"So you don't need to worry about anything, just let it go and do it"

"Oh"

After seeing Takeda Shinshige's support for him, Takeda Katsuyoshi agreed loudly.

After Li Xiao finished his lunch, he wandered in Huilin Temple. This time it was his second visit to Huilin Temple.

The last time he was here was three years ago, he met Takeda Nobuhira and Kuagawa Shaoki here, and wooed Sanada Masayuki to join Takeda Katsuyori's camp.

Right now, Katsuyori Takeda went to meet Takeda Nobuhiro, and he just wandered around, admiring the scenery in the temple, and eating away by the way.

Li Xiao strolled around and came to a rather remote courtyard. The place was very desolate, with lush forests and grass covering the ground.

Suddenly, someone in the courtyard deep yelled: "Beyond Jingguan after the chaos, I entered Yanluo for fifteen years. I came out of the old mountain and became white, but installed a new roll to call Qingxian."

Li Xiao listened to the other party's words, his intonation was sonorous, and he actually said it in Chinese.

Li Xiao couldn't help but be curious, and signaled Shigang Yiyu and others to stay close to the courtyard gate, and walked into the forest by himself.

When Li Xiao walked into the depths of the forest, he saw a black-clothed monk sitting and boiling water.

Hearing that someone was walking on the grass, the other party couldn't help turning his head. When he saw Li Xiao, he smiled and saluted.

This monk was the diplomatic monk who persuaded Nobuyuki Anyama to release the Imagawa army into Kai.

Li Xiao naturally didn't know his identity, but it was strange to see him cooking tea in the wild, and asked: "The poem that your Excellency chanted just now comes from Du Xunhe."

Hearing what Li Xiao said, he was surprised and said: "Exactly, I didn't expect your Sinology to be so profound. Oh, yes, I heard from Master Kuaichuan these few days that there is a guest from Mingguo in the temple, presumably your Excellency. It's the famous Li Danma Shou. No wonder it's the case."

No wonder this last sentence of the other party is so, naturally it is for myself to explain why the other party understands Chinese poetry.

Li Xiao smiled slightly and said: "It is here, the master obviously has a deep research in Sinology, I don't know how the master is called?"

The monk lowered his head and said, "Poor monk, Tiger, Zong Yi, pay homage to Lord Li Danma Shou."

Hearing the name of the other party, Li Xiao's body was shocked, and he thought: Huzai Zongyi, oh, mygad, isn't that the learned monk who cultivated Date Masamune in later generations?

Although the monks of the Rinzai sect were not well-known in the Warring States period, they left an important position. The most famous one is the Taiyuan Xuesai monk who cultivated Imagawa Yoshimoto and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

In addition to Taiyuan Xuezhai, Oda Nobunaga studied under Linji Sect master Zeyan Zongen in his childhood.

Takeda Shingen also studied under Uncle Yu Qi Xiu Yuan.

And Sawahiko Zongen and Kihide Motoun are excellent students who graduated from Owari Zuizumi Temple, so in a sense, Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen can be described as brothers in the same discipline.

Huzai Zongyi, who will be the teacher of Date Cyclops in the future, also studied under the two famous monks of Linji Sect, Qixiu Yuanbo and Kuachuan Shaoxi.

"But Master Ma Shou, why are you so shocked? Have you ever heard of the name of a poor monk before?" Huzai Zongyi asked.

Li Xiao laughed, and said casually: "It's just a coincidence, it's just a master's name, which reminds me of a poem by Li Taibai, so I was stunned."

Huzai Zongyi smiled slightly and asked, "I don't know what poem it is, so Master Dan Ma Shou thinks of a poor monk?"

Li Xiao nodded, and said in a serious tone: "It is an ancient style of Li Taibai, the poems are a bit forgotten, but I still remember the first few sentences, which said, Qin Wang sweeps **, watching He Xiongzai swipe his sword to fight the clouds, and the princes do everything. Come."

Speaking of this, Li Xiao paused and smiled: "So the master's legal name is very domineering in my ears, haha, domineering."

"Domineering," Huzai Zongyi also laughed, and said: "But Master Ma Shou, the words are really ingenious. The poor monk likes this domineering word very much. Oh, look at He Xiongzai, Huzai Zongyi."

After a pause, Huzai Zongyi said: "It is a great opportunity to meet a gentleman like Tajima Shou here, so I also asked Tajima Shou to allow the poor monk to order tea for you. To show respect."

Li Xiao was taken aback for a moment and said, "But there is no tea room here?"

Huzai Zongyi pointed his hand at the sky, and then pointed at the ground again, saying: "Sir Ma Shou, why don't you need a tea room for tea? Can't the sky be the roof of the tea room and the ground as the stacking table?"

Li Xiao suddenly realized that there was a card in Taige 5 called ‘Wild Point’, which meant drinking tea in the wild.

The wild spot originated from the military generals who went out to fight. Due to inconvenient conditions, tea parties were held in the wild.

In history, Toyotomi Hideyoshi once held a grand tea party in the wild after he calmed down Kyushu, which was called the "Kitano Grand Tea Party" in history.

So after hearing what Tiger Zongyi said, Li Xiao realized that he was a turtle, and immediately said, "Thank you, Master."

Li Xiao sat on the ground, looking at the verdant scenery in the courtyard, while chatting with Tiger Zongyi and drinking tea.

During the chat between the two, Li Xiao could see that Huzai Zongyi was not only a learned person, but also an ambitious person.

During the Warring States Period, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to rise to the ranks of ordinary people if they weren't from the military family.

Therefore, the better way out is for merchants and monks.

At that time, the Buddhist country in Japan, from the officials, the samurai, and the people down to the Buddha, believed in the Buddha, so monks in the temple had a high status at that time.

However, there are also many sects among the monks. For example, the Hongan Temple monks cheat and deceive the river. Tiantai Sect talks about the good and evil of human nature and repays the Buddha in the afterlife, while the Rinzai sect focuses on the epiphany and Zen, so many Rinzai monks are Is a scholar of knowledge.

Huzai Zongyi and Li Xiao talked about his background, but he can hear that he had a very difficult life since he was a child. After that, he studied Buddhist scriptures under Uncle Qixiu Yuan and Kuaichuan Shaoxi. He gained fame only after he was profoundly knowledgeable in Sinology, and gradually some martial artists asked him to ask him as a home school to ask monks and teach the children of the martial arts before the Yuan Dynasty.

However, at that time, Huzai Zongyi felt that his knowledge was not great, just hanging on paper and not being pragmatic, so he decided to travel around to increase his knowledge.

After five to six years, he returned to Jiafei and decided to think behind closed doors for a few years. When he felt that he had learned a lot, he was already in his early years.

When Li Xiao heard this, he had already made a decision. Of course, he could not let go of such a talent.

Li Xiaoyan said: "It turns out that the master just now said that once he entered Yanluo for fifteen years, he returned to the old mountain and became white. He lamented that his knowledge has been achieved, but he is no longer confused."

Huzai Zongyi smiled slightly and said: "Du Xunhe has been close to Buddhism in his life, so his poems have a deep Zen taste, even Master Kuaichuan is the same. What he usually likes most is the sentence,'An Zen does not require landscape, but My heart feels cold'."

Li Xiao knew that this word was the death poem that was read in history when the Takeda clan was destroyed, when Shaoxi Kuagawa was burned with Huilin Temple.

Li Xiao went on to say: "Master Huzai, with ambition in his heart, I don't know if I can help him."

Huzai Zongyi smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "But Master Ma Shou is too dear to the poor monk."

Li Xiaocheng said sincerely: "Masters don't have to be humble."

Huzai Zongyi saw that Li Xiaoqi was very sincere, so he said: "Lord Li Xiao, seeing the poor monk at first sight, and should not refuse. But the poor monk has agreed to Master Kuaichuan to stay in Huilin Temple and enlighten the Buddhist scriptures, so Can't leave Jiafei. So Master Li Xiao is going to Yuezhong now, and the poor monk can't be with him, so I'm very sorry."

Seeing what Tiger Zongyi said, he knew that he couldn't force it. Since he decided to stay in Huilin Temple, he couldn't follow him to North 6. After all, he still couldn't get the assistance of this Linjizong master.

However, Li Xiao changed his mind. He immediately went to North 6, and according to the rules, the eldest son, Li Zheng, must be staying at the Juyuzaki Hall.

Since I can't teach by Li Zheng's side, it is very important to find a famous teacher for him. This Huya Zongyi who once taught Date Masamune is obviously the most suitable candidate.

Since he went to North 6 with him and stayed in Huilin Temple, it would be good to teach Li Zheng for himself.

At the moment, Li Xiao said what he wanted in his heart and Huzaizong.

Huzai Zongyi was very surprised when he heard Li Xiao entrust his son to him, but he still bowed down and said: "Since it is the request of Lord Tajima Shou, the poor monk must do his best."

When Li Xiao heard Huzaizongyi's permission, he smiled happily, thinking that Li Zheng had Huzaizongyi's teaching, so he also let go of the worry.

"Report to your lord, there is an urgent letter for you."

At this moment, one of Li Xiao's side hurried into the yard.

This person, Li Xiao, recognized that it was Yokotani Yuki Kiyoshi. He came in a hurry, apparently getting his own intelligence network in the North 6 direction to deliver some kind of information to himself.

Li Xiao looked solemn, and quickly opened the letter, and it really seemed as if the letter had brought him a hundred thousand urgent news.

The head of the Jinbao family, the head of the Jinbao family, personally went out in Toyama Castle and mobilized two thousand troops to attack his castle in North 6th.

At present, Chengshengcheng has been surrounded by the army of the chief priest for three days, and the specific situation is unknown.

In addition to the post of the chief priest, another force in Viet Nam, Shiina, has also changed. The leader of the Shiina family, Shiina Kangyin, has also issued a mobilization order to the various elites in Matsakura City~www.wuxiamtl.com~ to prepare for the assembly of the army. .

When Li Xiao heard of this situation, there was some shock. Chengshengcheng was not only his own important stronghold, but also the only foothold of the Takeda family in North 6th.

If it is lost, neither oneself nor the Takeda family can accept the consequences.

Li Xiao saw that Chengshengcheng had been besieged for three days, and internal and external news had been cut off. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "When did this letter come from Ranwen Novel.com? Why is Yokotani Xingzhong reported to me now."

Yokotani Yuki Kiyoshi said: "Sir, Yuezhong Hida is covered with snow at the moment, and the transportation is inconvenient. If the news comes back and forth, it is already slow. This is the fastest brother he can do."

Li Xiao nodded. He knew that Yokotani was right. He shouldn't have this nameless fire. Once the matter has occurred, he must figure out how to remedy it.

Humph, this sacred guardian post really didn't surprise me at all, as soon as the winter of North 6 had passed, the soldiers came to the fore.

Li Xiao immediately made a decision without thinking, and now he has no more time to stay for a few more days, so he must rush back to Hida immediately. . ..
