Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 30: Huilin Temple

Knowing oneself and the enemy is the true essence of Sun Tzu's art of war. In order to recruit Masayuki Sanada, Li Xiao still did some research on him.

   After the destruction of the Takeda family, they lost the protection of the main family. In order to save the Sanada family, Masuko Sanada surrendered Hojo, Tokugawa, Uesugi, and Toyotomi within six months. Standing among the heroes, you have the right to the source and take advantage of the best. This can only be achieved by being able to assess the situation and have excellent diplomatic skills. This is also why Taige calls him more than just outside and inside.

   It can be seen that Masyuki Sanada’s political vision is very accurate, and he can predict the development and direction of the situation. Only by this can he survive such a difficult situation.

   And Masayuki Sanada is not blindly showing weakness. When Tokugawa Ieyasu unreasonably asked the Sanada family to surrender Uenokuni Numata Castle to the Hojo family, Masao Sanada categorically refused.

   Tokugawa Ieyasu was furious because of this, and sent general Okubo Tadashi, Torii Mototada, and Hiraiwa to attack Ueda Castle with 8,000 people. The Sanada family has less than two thousand troops.

   But this is less than two thousand people. Under the command of Masayuki Sanada, using strategies such as showing the enemy's weakness, ambushing, attacking by fire, flooding, and pinching, defeated the Tokugawa army. The process is very similar. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by Lao Luo, Zhuge Liang burns Xinye.

   However, Masakura Sanada is not just writing novels, but he did it in a real way, facing four times his own strength, and won the victory. In this battle, the Tokugawa Army killed 1,300 people, while the Sanada Army lost only 40 people. Since then, Tokugawa Ieyasu no longer treats the Sanada family as a local tycoon, but treats them with a famous family who can compete with them.

   Sanada Masayuki and the Sanada family's six-linked money family pattern have made them famous all over the world, and no one knows it.

   The performance of Masayuki Sanada and above is enough to be called a hero. Li Xiao does not deny that the other party is an ambitious figure who has devoted his life to the development and growth of his family. Judging from the five masters that Sanada has served, he did not fail the first and last masters of the Takeda family and Toyotomi family, and did a good job as a retainer.

He understands the loyalty of the Takeda family well. Just before the Takeda family building is about to fall, he wrote to Takeda Katsuyoshi, willing to take the lives of seventy people as a guarantee, and let Takeda Katsuyoshi and Takeda Nobuyoshi take refuge. To his rocky city.

   While the Sanada family faces Tokugawa at the same time, the two big names of Hojo fought a critical moment of survival, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi accepted the Sanada family. Although this can be used as Toyotomi Hideyoshi's consistent method to win over people, he pays more attention to the good fighting of the Sanada clan, using them to keep Tokugawa Ieyasu who will suffer from nausea in the future.

   But later Toyotomi Hideyoshi supported the Sanada family in the famous Walnut Castle incident, and issued a general mobilization order to the big names of various places. A total of 220,000 troops were called to surround Odawara Castle, and the Hojo family was finally destroyed.

Although the famous Walnut Castle incident is just an excuse, Taiko himself has long regarded the Hojo family as unhappy, but until now, Sanada has been loyal to the Toyotomi family, and in the second Uedahara battle, the Tokugawa family has been dragged down. Thirty-eight thousand troops prevented it from catching up with the Guanyuan Combat. After the defeat of the Sekihara Battle, Sanada was exiled to Koyasan. It is said that Sanada would talk all day long, saying that he would never repay Lord Taiko for his great favor.

   Ambitious, smart, courageous, and visionary, and he has his own moral code and standard of dealing with things. It is not the kind of white-eyed wolf who just bites his master. This is Li Xiao's personal view of Masuko Sanada.

   In addition, Li Xiao also knew that Masyuki Sanada only admired two people in his life, one was Takeda Shingen, and the other was Takeda Shinshige. The admiration for Takeda Nobuhira can be seen from Masyuki Sanada's name for his second son Nobuhiro (the future Sanada Yukimura). The goal is to hope that the second son will grow into a character like Nobuhiro Takeda in the future.

   Li Xiao felt as if he could draw Sanada Masao through this line of Takeda Nobuhira.

   In that case, Lord Katsuyori Takeda, let me use all my best, Masayuki Sanada, let's abduct this young man. That's what Li Xiao thought.

In the next three days, tea parties, killing games, hunting, archery and other activities were continuously held in Takato Castle. Takeda Nobuyo, Mochizuki Nobuunaga, Sanada Masayuki and three of them were guests, along with Li Xiao, Takeda Katsuyoshi, and Hoko brothers. All had a great time.

   Masao Sanada also broke his restraint, unlike the past, he is not as inferior as his personality, young and mature, and he became acquainted with everyone, and gradually talked and laughed.

   When it was finally time to say goodbye on the fourth day, Li Xiao suddenly proposed to visit Takeda Nobuyo's father Takeda Nobuhira. Nobuyoshi Takeda agreed, and UU reading www.uukānshu.com also had no reason to refuse. After all, Li Xiao had a good relationship with their father and son before, and Mochizuki Nobuyuki would naturally go with him.

   Then Li Xiao observed that Masuko Sanada looked eager to go with him. It is true that he wanted to come to the historical data. He has really admired Takeda Nobuhira for a long time. So Li Xiao offered to invite Masako Sanada, Masako Sanada readily agreed, and since Li Xiao had spoken, Nobuyuki Takeda did not refuse. As for the Baoke brothers who have been out to play for a long time, they are going to protect the territory of the Ke family. As the lord of the city, Takeda Katsurai cannot go out of Gaoyuan City at will, and he can't go together, so on the day of the trip, he sent everyone out of Gaoyuan Town all the way. Do the friendship of the landlord.

   After the battle with Nakajima, Takeda Nobuhiro became a monk at Huilin Temple in Koshu and officially lived in seclusion.

   Speaking of Huilin Temple, I have to mention Kua Chuan Shaoxi, the host of the temple. This person was originally the abbot of Chongfuku Temple in Mino, and later asked Shingen Takeda to be the abbot of Huilin Temple.

After    came to Kai, he also served as a diplomat between the Takeda family and Saito family.

   After Takeda Shingen decided to become a monk, it was Shaki Kuagawa who gave Takeda Shingen the title of "Hoshinin Kiyama Shingen". It is said that Shingen Takeda's flag was printed on "Grandson Four as the Flag of Mantra", and he also had the merit of advocating.

   It can be seen that the relationship between Takakawa Shoji and the Takeda family is extraordinary, and it also has a considerable influence on Takeda Shingen.

In the year of the Takeda family’s demise, Oda Nobunaga ordered Takigawa Kazugami to call Kuagawa Shaoki to Azuchi to teach the Fa, and Kuagawa Shaoki used Nobunaga to "burn Hieiyama, killing thousands of old, young and weak, and not with the Buddha. Same way" and refused to go, closing the door of Huilin Temple and staying out. Nobunaga was furious, causing Oda Nobuya to lead more than a thousand people around the temple to gather salaries, and to burn the fire to force the monks to leave the temple.

   But Kuaichuan Shaoxining was unyielding, and left the famous passing phrase "An Zen does not require mountains and rivers, but the heart is cold", and finally burned with Huilin Temple.
