Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 349 Consecutive Judges' Evaluation

Tzuzuzaki Hall.

Today, Shingen Takeda held an appraisal of the retainers at the main hall to discuss the war with the Hojo clan.

A racetrack room dressed up in hunting clothes, drove the horse slowly on the path.

The one who rode with him is the one who has not returned to the museum for many years, Masanobu Kosaka, the lord of Haijin City.

Masanobu Takasaka is in his forties this year and has played for the Takeda family since he was sixteen.

When he was young, Masanobu Takasaka and Baba Nobubo served as Shingen's close servants, serving at the Kusakikan.

From the four years of Hou Yonglu, Masanobu Gosaka became the lord of Haijin Castle. He has been stationed on the front line of Kita-Shinano to guard against Echigo's army. Only in winter, Echigo's heavy snow-covered mountain can take a sigh of relief.

Therefore, he has not been able to return to the museum all these years.

Seeing the scenery of the Tsugazaki Pavilion, things are not humans, I can't help but sigh.

Masanobu Takasaka said to the Machang Xinfang: "Nobuharu, being able to come back and see the owner of the museum again is something I never expected. I originally thought that I would be stationed in Haijin City, and I would not be able to return to Jiafei for the rest of my life. , He has been in poor health recently, is his lung disease still attacking?".

Baba Nobubo glanced at Takasaka Masanobu. He knew that Kosaka Masanobu had a deep affection for Shingen Takeda. With a touch of scum on his jaw, he said, "Yes, this is indeed a fact. The body of the owner of the museum is getting worse and worse. "

When Masanobu Takasaka heard this, his face was even more sad, saying: "If I can protect the health of the owner of the museum, I am willing to exchange my life for the owner of the museum for one year."

The horse farm said in a letter: "Tiger Tsunami, I can understand your love and respect for the owner of the museum, but now it should be my Takeda family's far-sighted plan. Your Excellency should still cherish this useful body and continue to assist the family."

Masanobu Kosaka frowned and said, "Xinchun, what do you mean by this?"

Machang Xinfang said: "The owner of the museum has half retired, and has transferred most of the affairs of the family to His Royal Highness Shenglai. You must carefully assist His Royal Highness, guard the North Shinano, and guard against the Uesugi family."

Takasaka Masahiro nodded and said: "I know this, but if the owner of the museum is gone, His Royal Highness Shenglai will probably not reuse the retainers drawn by the owner of the museum. At the same time, I am also worried that if the owner of the museum is gone, He came to take charge of my Takeda family, and I am very worried."

Machang Xinfang said: "Toruna, what are you talking about? His Royal Highness Shenglai repelled Kenshin Uesugi at Shirane Mountain and Iwaju Castle, and he also attacked the half country of West Ueno. He is definitely the wise master."

Takasaka Masahiro said: "Nobuharu does not want to get angry. I am not denying the ability of His Highness Shenglai. From the perspective of his experience of several battles, I admit that he is a brave general, but his talents, and his appeal in my Takeda family, It's still far behind the master of the museum. Xinchun, am I right?".

The Machang Letter Room pondered for a while, and said: "You are right, the owner of the museum is a master of the world. In my heart, not only in my Takeda family, but also in the world, no one can stand with him."

Takasaka Masahiro said: "In this case, even if His Highness Katsurai is excellent, but under the control of the Takeda family, he is dwarfed by the master of the museum, not to mention the rise of Oda in the west, blocking the road to Shangluo of the family, Uesugi In Kita Tiger Vision, Etchū, Shinano is always threatened, and Hojo, as the most powerful name in Kanto, has become a mortal enemy of the family in the west."

Speaking of this, Masanobu Takasaka couldn't help but sighed and said: "When the master of the museum is in office, I can still keep my Takeda family's foundation. If the master of the museum... once..., then with the power of His Highness, where will my family go? As far as I am concerned, it is really unimaginable for the future."

Hearing what Takasaka Masanobu said, the horse farm letter room nodded slightly. The strategic situation of the Takeda family in the 13th year of Yongluo is indeed not optimistic.

Uesugi and Hojo are not inferior to the Takeda family in terms of strength, not to mention the fact that they are facing both sides at the same time.

Masanobu Takasaka chatted all the way in the Baba Shinbo, and when he rode his horse to the front of Honmaru Ote, he happened to ride slowly towards the front.

The opponent is tall, riding a war horse with black hair, and this person is Li Xiao.

The three met in front of this big hand gate, greeted each other, and dismounted together.

Immediately a few people came up and led the horses of the three of them, and the others in front of the big hands came to take part in the assessment. The Admiral-level Admiral and the retainers of the Attorney-General level saw the three powerful veterans of the family with heavy arms. When the big hands met in front of the door, they all respectfully stepped aside, waiting for the three to get started first.

Li Xiao first greeted the horse farm letter room, then nodded politely with Takasaka Masanobu, and only then entered the gate after paying his respects.

After meeting with Li Xiao, Masanobu Kosaka stood still thinking a little bit.

Baba Nobunbu turned to Takasaka Masanbu and asked, "Masanobu, what are you thinking?"

Masanobu Takasaka shook his head, and said, "Perhaps I have just said that it is too early to make a judgment."

Hearing what Takasaka Masanobu said, the horse farm letter room was taken aback for a moment, then turned to Li Xiao who had already started, and said, "You said it was Li Xiao?"

Masanobu Kosaka slowly nodded and said, "Yes, this is someone I can't understand the depth, Xinchun, if you change to you, for eight years, you don't need the support of your own family. With your own strength, you can calm Yuezhong Hida. ?".

The Racecourse Letter Room shook his head and said, "It's unbelievable. I can't."

Masao Takasaka said: "It is such a character. We don't know how much he has to spare, but if he assists His Highness Katsurai to support his family, then even if he can't compete for world hegemony, he will protect my Takeda family as well as Mount Tai. , But it is not a problem."

After hearing the words, the Machang Xinfang was slightly taken aback, and said: "Tiger Gang, you don't know, maybe this is what makes people more worried."

Masanobu Takasaka was taken aback for a moment, then he understood the meaning of the bazaar letter room, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes."

On the other side, Li Xiao walked into the assessment hall. By this time, the retainers who participated in the assessment meeting had already arrived.

As in the previous assessments, the attendant generals and the Admiral-level retainers all sat under the corridor and listened.

And above the steps is the elder of the family, the place where the various retainers sit, and directly above is the position of Takeda Shingen.

When Li Xiao arrived, most of his family's elders had arrived, such as Takeda Nobuyasu and Takeda Katsuyoshi.

Although everyone was familiar with each other, in the hall, everyone took their seats and did not talk.

People who know each other only use eye contact, which is considered to have said hello.

After Li Xiao took his seat, finally the last few veteran retainers came and sat full on the steps.

Li Xiao looked around. Compared to five years ago, when Takeda Yoshinobu was there, he came to Kai to participate in the assessment. The figures on this stage and their respective ranks have changed.

For example, Takeda Yoshinobu and Iifumi Tomasa never saw them here anymore.

Taking the place of Takeda Yoshinobu, Takeda Katsuyori, who has taken charge of the throne, is also under the control of Katsuyoshi Takeda. A letter dragon waits for a group of retainers.

The replacement of Fanfu Huchang, who was in the head of the retainer regiment, was Changjing in his brother Shan County.

The Takeda family is currently building a new city in Suruga Ejiri, called Ejiri Castle.

This city was built by Baba Nobubo, as the base for the Takeda family to operate in Suruga, and its role was to defend the Suruga country and suppress the Mikawa Tokugawa family.

After the construction of the city, Changjing of Shan County became the city's generation, and was responsible for the leadership of the local people in Suruga.

This is also what Takeda Shingen followed in West Ueno, Hida Etsuchu, Kita Shinano, and South Shinano. In Suruga, with Ejiri Castle as the center, he formed a new army group, the Suruga army.

Yamaxian Changjing is the general of the Suruga Legion, and he is out of town.

Next under the Changjing of Shan County is Li Xiao, the commander of the Hida Yuezhong Army.

At this moment, Li Xiao also knows that his current status is quite jealous, especially the retainers of Kai family who have been in the Takeda family for more than eight years and have taken up this position, and those who have served in the family for many years have not been in this position. Achieve this level.

However, Li Xiao didn't care about this jealousy. At the moment, he is a powerful general. In terms of military mobilization, there are only Takasaka Masanobu in his family, and the newly formed Suruga Army Corps Yama Prefecture Masakei can be compared.

Among the five major legions of the Takeda clan, Li Xiao’s Yuezhong Hida Legion was recognized as the strongest. After many **** battles, even Uesugi Kenshin could not help but heal all kinds of dissatisfaction with this.

In Changjing, Shan County, Li Xiao’s side is the ten family elders who have been judged by the family. They are the real retainers of the Takeda family, while the Sanada family ranks at the bottom.

Li Xiao's gaze rolled, and suddenly he looked at someone.

After the other party looked at him, he immediately avoided it, showing that there was a ghost in his heart.

When Li Xiao saw this man clearly, he couldn't help but hum. It turned out that the other party was his old acquaintance Shengzi.

After helping Takeda Yoshinobu to usurp the throne, the life of the Atobe family has been difficult, although later Takeda Katsuyori adopted Li Xiao's strategy to win over the Atobe family, only to maintain the current position of the Atobe family.

However, the Atobe family was far worse than before. Before Shingen captured Nishi Ueno, the Atobe family was mobilized and ranked third among Takeda's retainers.

After the failure of Takeda Yoshinobu’s rebellion, the Patriarch’s ruling department believed in Qiu Qiu, the territory was deposed, and the status of the family elder has been abolished. Now Masaru Takeda can only participate in the gallery as a concubine-level retainer~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Military discussion.

This contrast between the previous and the next is a huge gap.

No wonder Li Xiao saw a trace of bitterness in the eyes of Shengzi just now. The meaning of this is, of course, the decline of the family and the rapid rise of Li Xiao and his feelings of resentment.

To Li Xiao's hatred for him was just a flash, and he didn't take it to heart.

At this time, after the Takeda family's retainers arrived, Takeda Shingen himself, followed by two small surnames, slowly walked into the hall.

Takeda Shingen's face is thinner than before, but his eyes are still heavy and strong. His performance in the first battle of the Hojo clan in Sanzenggeo defeated the Hojo clan, and he was recognized as Kanto, and even the world's number one general.

As Takeda Shingen sat down slowly, all the vassals bowed and said: "Farewell to the lord."
