Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 318 The Controversy of Fushan City

"Is this Toyama Castle?"

Li Xiao dressed up in the world, sitting high, pointing at the Fushan City in the morning with his riding whip.

And beside Li Xiao stood a large line of servants dressed in bright arrays of feather weaves and armors. They gathered around him like a group of stars.

Under Li Xiao’s questioning, he was located at Terashima, where he moved from the Jinbao’s house to the Takeda’s family. He respectfully said: "Return to Lord Tajima, this city is the Toyama Castle, and because it is surrounded by the Shintogawa River, so Often called a floating city."

Li Xiao nodded. The trenches of Toyama City were indeed a river that led to the Shentong River, and the double trenches were made. This shows the ingenuity of the builders.

From here, the city is surrounded by rivers, just like a city floating on the water.

Now around the city of Toyama, there are loud voices and flags flying.

The dust of large stocks is constantly rising.

Behind Li Xiao's place, the Takeda army, which had been pulling all the way, was gradually entering the city to encamp.

On the other side of the Shintogawa River, Shiina's flag seal was also covered over the mountains and plains, and it was obviously a soldier approaching the city.

Li Xiao looked at Shiina’s army and smiled to the left and right: "It seems that Shiina Kangyin's speed is not too slow. Hearing that Uesugi Kenshin is not in Yuezhong, he hurried all the way and let him reach Toyama Castle. Down the city."

When Li Xiao said so, the generals such as Koichiro Kinoshita and Xiaoxian Koba laughed loudly.

Terashima was previously one of the two important ministers of the Jinbao family and Kojima, but now the situation is better than others. He has become the retainer of the newly attached Takeda family, knowing that Li Xiao will be the commander of the Yuezhong Hida army in the future. Therefore, for a long time in the future, I must be controlled by this person.

What's more, he has played against Li Xiao twice, knowing the horror of the other party, and being in awe of him.

Although it is necessary to be upright as a martial artist, Terajima Shisei rebelled from the Jinbo family this time, obviously because he saw that the Jinbo family was under the attack of Takeda Uesugi, and the days were dying, so he turned to rely on the Takeda family. This big tree.

Therefore, Terashima’s job determination is not without flattering words: "Shiina Yasuyin is no better than Tajima-sama. This person is ten days later than us in mobilizing the leader. The reason why I can arrive now, but it’s a journey. It's a little closer to us."

Li Xiao heard the ingratiating meaning of Sidao's appointment, and just smiled.

Another Jinbao family survivor, Sui Yusheng, had an expression of disdain, saying: "From my point of view, Shiina Kangyin is so anxious, and he is obviously more worried that we will seize Toyama Castle. This is a joke, Toyama Castle again It’s not a human being, it doesn’t move, it doesn’t run."

At this time, Li Xiao asked suddenly: "With our current military strength, what is the chance of attacking Fushan City?"

When Terashima was appointed, Shui Yue Shengzhong took a look at each other, and for a while, they didn't know how to answer.

Li Xiaowei smiled and said, "Although you speak bluntly, you don't have to take it into consideration."

Dao Zhiding didn't dare to speak frankly. He knew that this question was not answered properly, which could easily affect Li Xiao's opinion of himself.

So Terajima’s job decision turned to say: "Return to Lord Tajima, the city was built by the people of Shui Da. Obviously he knew very well about the city, so he asked the people of Shui Da to answer on his behalf."

Li Xiao nodded and said: "Very well, the bigger the water, please answer me one or two."

Shui Yuesheng took a look at Terashima's post, then turned to touch the scum on his chin, and said: "If this is the case, I am sorry. At the beginning of the construction, Toyama Castle was built according to the standard of a famous residence of one hundred thousand stone. Therefore, the city is strong, and Shentong River is introduced as a trench. Both the outer maru and the inner maru are connected by rivers."

"According to the general situation, unless you have more than three times the strength of the defender, you will be able to win the attack for three to four months. Of course, Lord Ma, with great help, the difficulty of attacking the city should be reduced."

Li Xiao said directly: "Most of my big canisters have been blown up, so there is no big canister available for this siege."

Shui Yue Shengzhong's face changed when he heard the words, and said: "In this case, it is difficult to conquer this city in a short time."

After hearing Shui Yuesheng's words, Li Xiao could only smile lightly and said: "That's nothing. If I can't attack it for a while, I will give this city to Shiina's clan to attack it."

As soon as Li Xiao said this, Temple Island was appointed, and the heavier and heavier the water was all shocked.

Sui Yue Sheng Zhong directly said: "Toyama Castle is the key to guarding Hokuriku Road and Hida Street, and it can also deter Iwase Minato of Mitsu and Seven Minato. Its geographical position is like the spring mountain castle of Echigo to Echigo. It is the key point of Yuezhong. If we do not take it, and it is taken by the Shiina family, then I am afraid it will be too late to regret it."

Li Xiao nodded, this Shui Shengzhong seemed to be an outspoken person.

Li Xiao smiled and said: "You are right, but have you thought about it? If our army cannot take Toyama Castle for a while, can Shiina take it in a short time? If our two families both take Toyama Castle for a while, there is nothing I can do about it. It's better to take this opportunity to turn west and sweep west of Jintongchuan."

As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, everyone understood what he meant.

A cold sweat oozes behind Terashima's post, thinking: This Li Xiao is so despicable, he is actually a **** of Shii Mingshi, using his whole heart to want to capture Toyama Castle, using Toyama Castle to consume his strength. However, Li Xiao took the opportunity to move westward to seize the ground of the Shenbao family and strengthen his own power.

But after Li Xiao waited for the success of his forces, he turned back and attacked Toyama Castle, which had suffered two losses with Shiina Kangyin. At that time, it was a breeze for the Takeda army.

Of course, Li Xiao's plan is also a bit risky. Maybe when Li Xiaoping settled on the west of Shentongchuan, Ranwen Novel.com, but instead came back to face it, Shiina Kangyin had already taken the Toyama Castle.

But how do they know that Li Xiao is a traverser.

In history, this Toyama castle was held by the chief priest of Jinbao, facing the siege of the two forces of Yixiangzong and Shiina, and it lasted for more than half a year. Until the following year, Uesugi Kenshin led the army to enter Vietzong again from Echigo. , Toyama Castle still did not fall.

Li Xiao took another look at Toyama Castle again. At the beginning, he had collected the topography of Yuezhong a lot. Of course, he knew the importance of Toyama Castle. In the future, he wanted to establish a foothold in Hokuriku, and he would definitely want Toyama Castle to operate as an important city.

As for the strength of Toyama City, he certainly knew it a long time ago, but he only confirmed it when he saw it on the spot today.

He knew that with his two six-pound direct-fire guns, he couldn't blast the walls of Toyama City at all, so he dispelled his plan to attack the city.

At the same time, if you don't attack Toyama Castle, you can avoid the conflict of interest between the famous masters in Toyama Castle, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

For Li Xiao, it is far from the time to turn his face with Shiina. A few heavy punches against Uesugi Kenshin in his face.

Just as Li Xiao was planning to attack Yuezhong, someone suddenly came to report, claiming that Shiina's family had sent an envoy to come here to ask for a meeting with Li Xiao.

Hearing this, Li Xiao and the generals of the Takeda family all smiled knowingly. No need to guess, Shiina Kangyin must have sent someone to ask Li Xiao to give up Toyama Castle.

Right now in the Shiina army's main formation.

Shiina Yasuke watched as his father Shiina Yasui was pacing back and forth in the military tent impatiently.

Shiina Kosuke knew that his father was in a state of anxiety at the moment, but as a son, he couldn't tell what to worry about for a while, so he could only say with relief: "My father, you don't need to be so anxious."

General Shiina Kangyin waved his hand and said: "What do you know, Shingen Takeda has long had the ambition to annex Etsuchu. You see, Li Xiao marching hurriedly and heading straight to Toyama Castle, it is obvious that this city has long been determined to win. "

After a pause, Shiina Kangyin stood still and said, "You said that if Li Xiaoqiang wants Toyama Castle, should we let it or not?"

Shiina Kosuke thought about it and said, "At the beginning, when we negotiated with the envoy Li Xiaomi, we agreed to divide the Jinbao family with Jinzugawa as the boundary, and return to the Takeda family to the east and Shiina family to the west. But Toyama Castle was not there. In this argument, so this needs to be discussed again."

Shiina Koyin nodded and said, "Yes, Toyama Castle is the key to dominate Etchu. Without Toyama Castle, there will be no Iwase Minato. Without Iwase Minato, I will lose half of Eetchu’s financial resources. So I will never Can’t give up Toyama Castle."

"But what if the Takeda family refuses to let it go? I think Li Xiaoqi is very ambitious, and he is also a cruel person."

Shiina Kangyin thought for a while, and said: "In any case, I won't let go of Toyama Castle. The rest of the conditions can be discussed. As for how it is, it depends on Li Xiao's response. If necessary, I will fight the Takeda Army by burning the novel. It’s not hesitating."

Speaking of this, Shiina Kangyin showed a fierce look on his face.

Just as Shiina Yasunami was speculating, outside the formation, a person approached and reported, "Master, Lord Watanabe, who was envoy to the Takeda family, is back."

"Call him in immediately." Shiina Kang Yin was worried at the moment.

Seeing that the messenger entered the military account with a smile of joy.

Shiina Kang Yin also let out a sigh of relief, and quickly asked, "How did Li Xiao agree?"

"Yes~www.wuxiamtl.com~ lord, with a three-inch tongue, and finally convinced Master Tajima."

"Great," Shiina Kang Yin couldn't help but put his palms together in front of him, murmured, "Thank the gods for blessing."

Shiina Yasuke said, "Thanks, Lord Watanabe, you have done a great job for this family."

"However, Lord Ma made another request."

"What's the requirement?" Shiina Kang Yin frowned and asked unhappily.

"Li Xiao said that he hopes that the lord will take the Toyama Castle as soon as possible. If this city is not taken, the Echigo Army can pass through Iwase Minato and return to Yuezhong by boat at any time. So he said that if the lord could not capture Toyama Castle in March , He will personally lead an army to help the lord."

After listening to the messenger’s words, Shiina Kangyin couldn’t help laughing, and said to his son Shiina Kosuke, “This Li Xiao looked down on me too much. I’m in a lonely city. Why can’t I take it anymore, let’s say three months. Within a month, my flag will be placed on the top of the city."

"At that time, I will laugh at Li Xiao's short-sightedness." ..
