Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 355: Shenglai's Confidence

"This disease has just recovered, the lord, he sent me to the bitter cold Northland, which is really embarrassing."

As the ship held the castle, Shigeji Takenaka held a feather fan, shook his chest lightly, and said in a tone of teasing himself.

Takeda Katsurai and Li Xiao both sat to drink tea.

Takeda Katsurai smiled and said, "Master Takenaka, going to Yuezhong can help Li Xiao against Uesugi Teru. This matter is not your responsibility."

Li Xiao glanced at Takenaka Shigeji, and said with a smile but a smile: "Master Takenaka is very resourceful. With your help, I can say that Li Xiao's pressure has been reduced a lot."

Shigeharu Takenaka nodded, and said humbly, "Master Tajima Shou is unparalleled in Hokuriku, so don't drag the adults back here."

Li Xiao took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Master Takenaka is too modest."

Regarding Takenaka Shigeru, Li Xiao was deeply jealous. He originally wanted to recruit him as an aide, but was rejected by him. Later, when Li Xiao had a murderous heart, Takeda Shingen did a half-way job and recruited Takenaka straight. minister.

So Li Xiao wrote to Shenglai again, asking him to recruit Takenaka.

As a result, I don't know if Takeda Katsuyori was too overbearing to win Takenaka's loyal service, rejected the chance of being a direct minister under Shingen, and instead embraced the big tree Takeda Katsuyori.

In the past few years, with Takenaka's staff, Takeda Katsurai's military plan has improved a lot in political affairs, and gradually got rid of the dependence on Sanada and his son.

When Li Xiao thought he had a plan, Shingen Takeda ordered Shigeharu Takenaka to be sent to his subordinates to act and power, but in reality, it was secretly monitored.

This made Li Xiao very upset.

If it were someone else, Li Xiao would naturally not be afraid, but who is Shigeji Takenaka? He and Machang Changfang control the military affairs inside and the other is outside. Together, they can check and balance Li Xiao.

At this moment, even Takeda Katsurai also noticed the discord between Li Xiao and Takenaka.

As for Takeda Shingen's intention to send Takenaka to Etsuchu, Takeda Katsurai knew well. Although he felt that Li Xiao could be trusted, it was a check and balance, and it was taken for granted, so he did not dispute his father's decision.

But Li Xiao and Takenaka are trustworthy confidants for Takeda Katsuyoshi, and he doesn't want to see them so stalemate.

At the moment Takeda Katsuyori separated the topic and turned to a more relaxed topic.

Both Li Xiao and Takenaka are smart people. They naturally understood Takeda Katsuyori's intentions, and they also showed a scene of harmony at the moment.

Takeda Katsuyori was a man of no scheming, and when he saw this, he thought that Li Xiao and Takenaka had settled their suspicions under their own mediation.

Now Shenglai asked Li Xiao: "When do you decide to return to Yuezhong?"

Li Xiaoyan said: "Wait until the Hida Mountain Festival, it's probably March to start."

Takeda Katsurai happily said, "It's great, so we can stay for a few more days."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, I'm sorry, I promised my wife and children to visit Mount Fuji, so I want to be with my family."

Although Takeda Katsurai was a little disappointed after hearing this, he said, "Fortunately, you and your wife and children haven't seen each other for five years. You really should get together. It's just that the battle with the Hojo clan is about to begin. Neither you nor Takenaka are by your side, but I am missing. Two powerful advisers."

Shigeharu Takenaka smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, don't say that. I can only help a little bit."

Takeda Katsurai listened to Takenaka's words, smiled slightly, and turned to look at Li Xiao.

Shigeji Takenaka also knew that the two had something to say, so he retired immediately.

Only Takeda Katsurai and Li Xiao were in the room.

The two chatted for a while, then let go of the topic.

Takeda Katsurai immediately talked about the past and said: "Remember that before the battle on Chuanzhongjima, I broke into your military account in the middle of the night and asked you to help me capture the house governor?".

Li Xiao nodded, and said: "His Royal Highness, do you remember what happened back then, the minister has forgotten it."

Takeda Katsuyori smiled and said: "At that time, how could I forget my embarrassment, Li Xiao, I finally did it. After three years, I will officially become Takeda's household supervisor and take charge of this family. There have been many hardships and dangers along the way. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have what I am today. Therefore, I have always remembered your love for me."

Li Xiao hurriedly said: "His words, Li Xiao, I am very sincere and frightened, and don’t mention it again. From now on, Your Highness will take charge of my Takeda family, and I can only help you with all your loyalty and heart to help your Highness sweep the world. My Li Xiao’s greatest wish."

In history, there are many people who have relied on their merits, but the people who end up violently uttering wild words do not know how many people died. The Three Kingdoms Shi Xuyou is the best example.

There is no kindness that can be used for a lifetime, and making contributions without living is the way to stand up.

As the saying goes, it’s not the trick to being a favor, or that you don’t let the other person think that you are not in favor.

Anyway, the more humility he is, the more Takeda Katsuyori will take it in his heart.

Sure enough, Takeda Katsurai saw that Li Xiao didn't mention anything about helping him back then, and he looked respectful, and he was very moved at the moment.

Li Xiaoxin knows Takeda Katsurai's current situation. Since he came to power, Sanada, Poke, and Ohata must have been dependent on Takeda Katsurai to get the rewards for the risks when he stood in the team.

This is also human nature, but Takeda Katsurai will inevitably be a bit distracted and tired.

Even this time, in order to promote the decisive battle against the Hojo family, Li Xiao also secretly approached Takeda Katsuyori and asked him to use his son to support himself and push the matter through.

However, compared with Sanada and others, Li Xiao didn't demand much of Katsurai, and the war against Hojo this time was reasonable and very helpful to his family's grand strategic planning. Moreover, Takeda Katsurai also agreed with his views very much.

At this moment, Takeda Katsuyori showed a trace of worry, and said, "Li Xiao, do you think I can really inherit the Takeda family chief?".

Li Xiao heard the words and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, why did you say this? Isn't this something you have always dreamed of? Why are you now afraid of the realization of your wish?"

Takeda Katsuyori smiled bitterly and said: "Li Xiao, you don't know. The seat of the Takeda family governor looks beautiful, but after sitting down, it feels like a heavy burden is weighing on him. The eyes of all the retainers are watching you. , I don’t consciously compare you with your father. Doing well is a matter of course. If you don’t do it well, you will get an evaluation that is not as good as your father’s."

Speaking of this, Takeda Masaru Lai sighed and said: "I know that my father is a man of the world, so even if I have achieved too much, it is inevitable to be criticized under his light, and Rushan County, Racecourse, etc. Retainers, they all acted on my father’s orders, and they seemed to not pay much attention to me. This is also my distress. I dare not tell Sanada and Takenaka about this matter, for fear that they think I am weak, but in fact I have already Troubled in my heart, I hope you can help me solve my doubts today."

Li Xiao heard Takeda Katsura speaks of this, and also understood his state of mind at the moment.

Li Xiaoyan said: "His Royal Highness, please forgive me. The reason for your trouble is that you put yourself in an incorrect position. I, Li Xiao, will never tell you that you are not inferior to the lord just because he comforts Your Highness. This is just a sympathy. , Your Highness doesn't need it at all. And the real answer must be found by His Highness himself, but I asked Your Highness, even if it is not as good as the lord, will you not take charge of my Takeda family?".

"Just as His Royal Highness was consciously inferior to Uesugi Teruho back then, but when he came to challenge you, didn't His Highness dared to face it with fear? If so, there would be no Shirane Mountain, and Iwaken the city. Your Royal Highness must not forget that you have been twice. Repelled Kenshin Uesugi. This is something that the lord could not do in the five battles of Chuanzhongdao. You have proven yourself."

Hearing Li Xiaozhi's words, Takeda Katsura brightened his eyes and said, "Li Xiao, you are right."

"As for Shan County, the horse farms are all long-time veterans of the family. They have been fighting with the lord for many years. It is true that they lack respect for the lord, but for the lord, the loyalty to the Takeda family is absolutely beyond question. As far as the family is concerned, they are also the ministers of the pillars. If these adults fail, the foundation of the family will be broken. This highness must not be ignored, because their attitude has neglected and alienated them."

"What's more, your Royal Highness now has his own team, such as Master Xinfeng, Master Daxiong Chaoxiu, Master Nobata Shinzhen in the crowd. They are all the servants who support His Highness when His Highness does not have a high position. Your Highness can reuse them. It chilled their hearts. No matter what the family, I, Sanada, and Baoke will also support Your Highness. There is no need to worry about the situation that Shan County, the horse farm and the others overwhelm your Highness."

After hearing Li Xiao’s words, Takeda Katsurai nodded his head with confidence, but then frowned and said: "Li Xiao, you said that you should reuse Sanada and protect them at the same time. Don’t neglect the old officials of Shanxian County and Racecourse, but If there is a dispute between the two sides, how should I deal with it? It is not good to favor either side."

Li Xiao nodded and said: "His Royal Highness is very considerate. It will chill the heart of the old ministers to protect the relatives of His Royal Highness. However, he favors Shanxian County and Lord Racecourse. He thinks that His Royal Highness can be deceived and easy to give in for the sake of peace. But Your Highness must not be a two-faced party to please both parties."

"So in this matter, His Royal Highness must come up with his own decision. This is very difficult to say. It requires His Royal Highness to have the power of the lord, and at the same time, he must make all his servants understand his principles of dealing with matters ~ www.wuxiamtl.com ~ and the bottom line. Draw a line in the hearts of all the retainers. No matter who it is or who is it, if you overstep the line and do anything that touches the line, you will be dealt with. When dealing with things, you must be impartial and fair, and then under strict prestige, you might as well. Give a little more lenient to win the hearts of the retainers."

"And in this regard, Lord Lord is one of the experts. Your Highness can ask him more."

Takeda Katsurai nodded after hearing Li Xiaozhi's words, which was also very enlightening.

Li Xiao saw Takeda Katsurai with a somewhat enlightened look, and knew that his advice had worked, and what he did next was up to Takeda Katsurai himself.

Li Xiao did all this, even if he hoped Takeda Katsuyori would establish the prestige of his lord, and then suppress the two camps of veterans and new retainers.

It is not easy to do this, but Li Xiao is convinced that under his many years of planning, Takeda Katsurai has the right time and place, and he will definitely do better than the historical Naga Shino during the war.
