Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 350: Lips, Guns, Tongues and Swords

After Takeda Shingen sat down.

Masaki Yamagura, who is in charge of the Suruga defense, first spoke: "The lord, according to the detailed investigations in the direction of Sagami and Izu, the Hojo family has quietly mobilized the army, and there will be an attack on Suruga this spring. The large offense, and the scale of its battle, is expected to be no less than 40,000 troops."

"Forty Thousand Army"

After hearing this, the Admiral Admiral and Admiral-level retainers underneath made a slight commotion.

In Kanto, the Hojo Army is not as good at war as Uesugi and Takeda Army, but its mobilization power is definitely the best in Kanto. In history, the Hojo Clan’s heyday, the domestic mobilization power of more than 100,000 troops, this was in the Japanese Warring States Period. It is unimaginable.

The Hojo clan, like the Takeda clan, adopts the military system of sending parents and children. Its family is at the level of guide level, that is, the retainer of the first-hand service, which is equivalent to the retainer of the military commander level of the Takeda clan, such as Changjing, Li Xiao, and Li Xiao. There are more than a dozen people in total.

The generals at the general guide level, led by important ministers such as Hojo Tsunari, Dadao Temple Masanori, and Shimizu Yasui, outside Kenjo as the center, geographical division, and when receiving a mobilization order from Odawara, he will issue a mobilization order to his subordinates. Mobilize at all levels like this.

These generals at the general guide level also enjoy the same power as the judges of the Takeda family. When a major change is encountered in the family, if a decision is made to declare war or peace, the generals at the general guide level will gather in Odawara Castle to form a joint meeting. Discuss with the family supervisor to determine the general direction of the Hojo family's strategy.

This was originally an excellent evaluation system, but for some reason, at the end of the Hojo family, when faced with the 220,000 crusade of the Toyotomi family, the Hojo family clamored at the meeting and couldn’t tell whether they were fighting or making peace. The decision ultimately led to the destruction of the Hojo family.

So Odawara assessed that it became synonymous with procrastination in Japanese.

In addition to the local generals, in order to maintain the superiority of the Odawara central government over the region, the Hojo clan also organized other samurai groups, such as the ‘Mimahui’ and the ‘Odawara Sho,’ as the daimyo’s direct command.

Hearing that the Hojo clan would be out for 40,000 troops, the Takeda clan’s retainers were also taken aback. The two most powerful legions in the family, Li Xiao’s Hida Vietnamese Army Corps, and Takasaka Masanobu’s North Shinano Army Corps, were affected in the north. Contained by Uesugi Kenshin, he cannot be cloned.

Therefore, the 40,000 army of the Hojo clan is definitely a powerful force that cannot be underestimated for the Takeda clan.

At this time, Shingen Takeda said: "For the general, he will be brave after defeat. Shi Kang is here to avenge Sanzengge's defeat. Suruga's vengeance is captured. His determination to fight must not be underestimated."

Seeing Takeda Shingen said so solemnly, all his retainers were solemn.

Nowadays, the lineage vassals such as Koyamada and Anyama have expressed their determination to fight the Hojo clan.

The county leader of the Oyamada family was the border between the Takeda family and the Hojo family. When the Hojo family was strong, the Oyamada family also served as the retainers of the Hojo family and fought for it.

However, when Suruga invaded, the Oyamada family chose the Takeda family.

In the battle where Shingen Takeda invaded Sagami from Musashi and besieged Odawara, Nobuyoshi Oyamada, as Shingen's side army, fought alone, the Hojo clan of Takiyama Castle.

At the foot of Takiyama Castle, although the troops were at a disadvantage, Nobuhiro Oyamada used his special arms to throw stones and defeated the Hojo Clan.

Now that I heard that the Takeda clan was going to fight the Hojo clan, a sensitive retainer like Nobuhiro Oyamada naturally came out first to show his loyalty.

However, several people have different opinions on whether to attack the Hojo family actively, or divide the area and conduct defense.

Suddenly someone said: "Lord, I feel that it is unnecessary to fight with the Hojo clan in such an indiscriminate manner. It is better to make peace."

As soon as this person's words came out, there was no sound in the hall.

Everyone saw that it was the commander-in-chief of the Hida Vietnamese Army Corps, who even convicted Li Xiao, who ranked second among the veterans.

Li Xiaoping has always been low-key. He never asked about the Takeda family's grand strategy. It is really rare to present his own propositions at the moment, and it is not consistent with his usual low-key style.

Machang Xinfang frowned slightly. As Li Xiao proposed such a subject at the moment, he did not excel. However, he had just taken up the position of the second elder of the judges and raised such a topic affecting the strategic direction of the family. , Is it too presumptuous.

The people present have the same idea as the horse farm letter room, and many are there.

However, Kai is the head of the retainer, Masakei Prefecture, and he did not say anything to refute Li Xiao directly. Therefore, the four of Machang, Takasaka, Naito, and Akiyama did not express their opinions.

Li Xiao thought that his views would be countered, and was preparing a lot of rhetoric, but unexpectedly no one came forward to refute it, and he secretly wondered when his power in the Takeda family had reached this point.

Just when Li Xiao was surprised, the person who refuted him was Kiso Yoshihashi who was a little unexpected.

At this moment, Yoshiyasu Kiso had retired and gave up the position of governor of the Kiso family to Yoshihisa Kiso.

After the Kiso family as the largest family in the Southern Shinano family and the dignified Kiso Yoshinaka, Yoshishang himself married Shingen's daughter as a multitude of people in the family.

Therefore, Kiso Yoshihide was already dissatisfied with Li Xiao's position among the convicts. What's more, when the two of them quarreled with each other when they attacked Hida in Changjing, Shan County, they had already forged a beam. .

Right now Kiso Yoshihide, as a bird in his early years, first refuted Li Xiao's words: "Tajima Shou-sama, this statement really missed the original judgment. How can it be easy to decide on the theory of war. It is the Hojo clan's soldiers who are pressing the land and actively attacking me. The Takeda family, if the family did not fight, they would seek peace with each other. This would not only be ridiculed by the Hojo family, but also underestimated by the big names in the world, saying that my Takeda family would not dare to fight with the Hojo family."

After a pause, Kiso Yoshitaka said impassionedly: "I know that the Hojo army is powerful and the power of forty thousand troops, but I Kiso Yoshihide has the determination to fight to the death for my Takeda family as the master of the museum. If so. The Hojo family dare to invade, and the lord, please use my Kiso as a forward, and he will definitely break the Hojo army for this family."

Kiso Yoshimao's utterly vocal remarks immediately aroused a round of applause and aroused the support of all the retainers.

At any time, the main fighting faction is a strong representative, and the strongest party can most arouse everyone's self-confidence and a sense of belonging to the family.

Therefore, Kiso Yoshihatsu's words caused many retainers to rush for a while.

Anatoyama Nobu-kun, who was sitting next to Kiso Yoshihashi, praised him on the spot.

Having been praised by Nobuyama Nobuyao, coupled with the support of many people, Yoshihatsu Kuzou seemed to have found the pride of his ancestor Yoshitaka Kuzeng who ran the world. He was a little bit proud and looked at Li Xiao condescendingly.

The expression seemed to say that even Li Xiao, who is the first in his family’s military mobilization ability, did not dare to fight, but although I Kiso Yoshihatsu is not as powerful as you, his decisive daring to fight is far superior to him. In comparison, Li Xiao Xiao you are simply a coward.

Seeing Yoshihiro Kiso finished speaking, Li Xiaowei smiled and said: "Leader Matou, I admire the impassioned words, but you have no consideration for the overall situation."

Yichang Mu Zeng was immediately annoyed by Li Xiao's unconventional sentence, and asked, "Is there any lack of consideration?"

Li Xiao looked at Yoshisho Kiso and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Kiso, is Kyoto to the east or west of the house?"

"Of course it's the west side." Yoshichang Kiso said disapprovingly.

"Yes," Li Xiaozheng said, "The first priority of the family is to be the forerunner of Luo, but the Hojo family is in the east. What about the victory? Can they be one step ahead of Kyoto? The Ming state's saying is that it's a different story. Isn’t that what you are talking about?".

"You..." Kizo Yoshihide was dumb when Li Xiao said, but he immediately cleared his mind and retorted, "Li Xiao, don't talk nonsense. Right now, the Hojo family wants to attack their own family. We are fighting back in self-defense, but It's not to capture the Hojo family."

Li Xiao listened to Kiso Yoshihatsu’s words, snorted coldly, and said: “That’s even more so, you also know that my family is currently fighting back in self-defense. In this case, it is impossible to embezzle the Hojo clan’s points and a fortune, but consumes its strength in vain and fights for defense. Above, this is not self-defeating strength, what is it?"

"Master Ma Shou, I don't agree with your point of view," Koyamada Nobuhiro said aloud, "If you are afraid of losing your strength and dare not fight, it will be easier for the Hojo family to grasp our psychology. Not only does it make the opponent more unscrupulous when fighting, it also makes our soldiers and soldiers restrained when fighting, and they dare not let go of their hands and feet, which will produce worse results at that time."

Oyamada Nobuhiro's words are obviously more profound than Kiso Yoshishang's just moments of bold words, and they are not only echoed by the servants below, but also by the Admiral-level retainers.

The veteran retainers of the Takeda family such as Changjing in Zhongshan County, Nobunbu of Racecourse, and Nobunori Takeda of Zhongshan also nodded slightly. Obviously, Oyamada Nobuhiro made sense.

At this time everyone looked at Li Xiao to see how he refuted Koyamada Nobuhiro's argument.

Li Xiao looked at Nobuhiro Koyamada, and said calmly: "The words of the Zuobing Weiwei~www.wuxiamtl.com~ are very reasonable, and they are right with me."

Listening to Li Xiao echoing the words of Koyamada Nobuhiro, the vassals were strange and puzzled for a while, but the familiar Li Xiao's Shenglai, Xinlian, and Changxing understood that Li Xiao must have amazing words next.

I saw Li Xiao stood up and said: "My old enemy Uesugi Teruhu, there is a famous saying that those who do not die will live, and those who do not live will die. If you are afraid of a fight with the Hojo clan, you will even make peace. Nothing."

"So my proposition is not a low-ranking peace. The more we have to negotiate, the more we must fight against the Hojo clan and hurt the Hojo clan, so that they will be afraid. From then on, I dare not face my Kai. I get the awe of the other party, so I suggest trying to focus on the main force in a short time, put on a decisive battle with the Hojo clan, and use a few hard battles to weaken his strength and make him fear his clan before making peace."

Speaking of this, Li Xiao said solemnly: "So my proposal is to fight for peace, defeat the Hojo clan army within three months, and then make peace with the Hojo clan under these favorable conditions."
