Samurai of the Takeda Family

Li Xiao, dressed as an ordinary merchant, is dressed in coarse linen, but when you look carefully, you can see the aura of the superior. *.*

Being a feudal lord for a long time, and fighting on the battlefield for many years, Li Xiao has a feeling of irritation and prestige.

And this time, he dressed up as an ordinary merchant, and walked secretly along the path with Usami Nami, Shioka Kazuha, second son Li Yong, and Sanada Yukimura, and let the Kagemusha hold his own banner, and his shoulders were fancied. To go, it is to worry about hostile forces and conduct secret calculations against oneself.

In the end, his shoulders were on the road and were attacked by ninjas, which caused his shadow warrior to be stabbed and seriously injured.

Li Xiao's face was solemn, and he immediately asked, "Is your brother chasing and finding out what kind of ninja attacked me? Is it the Oyamada family or the Uesugi family? Or the Tokugawa family?"

Yokotani Yukiki lowered his head immediately and said, "Return to the lord, my brother discovered the whereabouts of the first ninja of the Tokugawa clan, Hattori Hanzo, which should be the work of the Tokugawa clan."

"Is it Tokugawa Ieyasu! This **** dares to assassinate the lord."

Li Xiao has not yet spoken, Shigang Yiyu said bitterly on the side.

Li Xiao stretched out his hand and said, "Since Tokugawa Ieyasu is already an enemy, he must use all means to kill his opponent. If I change positions, I will make the same decision as him. Don’t figure it out. Yiyu."

Immediately Li Xiao asked: "So how did Bao Ke Zhengguang deal with the smashed shoulder?"

Yukiya Yokotani said: "Return to the lord, Masamitsu Baoke asked a doctor on the spot for treatment. After that, he sent people to continue to **** to Kiso’s house for treatment. Because Masamitsu Baoke didn’t know that he was a shadow warrior in the shoulders, so nothing showed any flaws."

Hearing this, Li Xiao nodded slightly and said: "Good job."

You must know that Hattori Hanzo is not in the Warring States Period. The strongest ninja, but definitely the most famous ninja.

His most famous deed is that he escorted Tokugawa Ieyasu back to Mikawa after the change of Innoji Temple in history.

His ninjas guarded the guards along the way, called Iga Crossing at the time.

Now, under the assassination he personally presided over, Li Xiao also didn't know how certain he was to escape, but now that the person's trace has been found. Then you must not let the other party leave Shinano and return to Tokugawa's house.

Li Xiao narrowed his eyes and said: "If this person is allowed to return to Tokugawa's house, I will lose face. The order goes on and Yokotani Yuki can re-mobilize all his powers to siege and kill these Mikawa Ninjas without leaving one!"

Yoshiki Yokotani uttered a loud voice and said, "Brother has already gone out in person. Command my ninja to hunt down Hattori Hanzo."

Li Xiao said in a deep voice: "Let your brother inform Huyin Zhong Shang Nin out Pu Shengqing, and his family Bo Tou Zhong Shang Nin Kosaka Jinnai join forces, and the three ninjas will join forces. They must besieged and killed Hattori Hanzo."

However, Yokotani Yukiki said: "Please rest assured, the elder brother said that he will rely on his own power. Killing Hattori Hanzo is enough, otherwise he will cut his belly to thank the Lord."

Li Xiao listened to Yokotani's words. He smiled slightly and said: "Your brother is really so sure?"

"Oh!" Yokotani Yuki Kiyoshi said loudly.

Li Xiao heard Yokotani's answer and nodded. It is true that Hattori Hanzo is not easy to escape from Yokotani's ambush.

In the past two years, although Li Xiao lived in seclusion, he devoted all his energy to the construction of the Ninja Army.

Li Xiao used the Li Jiaren army to follow the example of the KGB and established the CIA as an important intelligence organization for monitoring his home, hostile forces, and assassinating the internal security department.

Li Xiao divided the Ninja Legion into three parts.

The first is the intelligence department, but also the largest part, named Otobe, which specializes in spying.

The sound part is divided into three parts.

The first is to specialize in the collection of intelligence from such powerful forces as Uesugi, Oda, and Hojo.

They walked among countries as cultivators, mountains, nihilistic monks, and merchants. They were responsible for intelligence transmission and intelligence collection. They lurked in the enemy's army, and rallied and bought hostile retainers.

The second is to monitor the internal channels of the Takeda family and Li Xiao's retainers.

For example, the last time Nobuyuki Anyama gathered the samurai to kill Li Xiao, but he was spied out by the intelligence department in advance, but he turned his back on Li Xiao and killed the Anshan family.

As for Li Xiao's retainers, such as Masaru Shima, Hidenaga Kinoshita, Takatora Fujido, Masabo Baba, Shigeharu Takenaka, and others, they also sent people to secretly monitor them to see if they were in collusion with his forces or committed corruption.

The third is the collection of intelligence specifically for neutral forces.

Such as the Ming Dynasty Marine Merchants, the Franjiren, and the Maori family, the family of the Nagamura family, the great friends of Kyushu, and the Shimadzu.

For this part, Li Xiaozi will not invest too much, and the importance of the first two is not the same, but the necessary military trends, as well as the appointment of retainers, and the preference of the lord are all included in the scope of intelligence collection.

The sound department specializes in spying, and there are two remaining, the Anbu (well, I shamelessly borrowed it), which specializes in assassinations; the Shadow Ministry, which specializes in internal security.

When Anbe first showed its sharp edge, it was when Li Xiaochu Heijo was born, he performed the assassination of Honganji Fangguan, and did not show any traces. The greatest achievement was that he successfully assassinated the head of the four kings of the Tokugawa family, Sakai during the battle of Nagashino. Chuji.

As a result, the Tokugawa family's surprise attack on Yuenchao Mountain failed.

The Ninjas of Anbe are carefully selected, and they are all proficient in blowing arrows, hook rope, shuriken, kunai, shuriken, shuriken, ninja, iron cannon and other weapons.

Although the ability to go into battle is insufficient, the abilities of these ninjas can be described as extremely terrifying when it comes to assassination techniques.

And this time Anbe was ordered, and under the leadership of Yokotani, he must perform the arduous task of hunting down Hattori Hanzo and his Mikawa Shinobi, and Otobe was responsible for spying on the news and reporting all the signs of Mikawa Shinobu to Yokotani Yukushige. Hattori Hanzo has nothing to hide.

And the last shadow department, and the role of the shadow department, like its name, exists beside the other party, but it is not noticed by others.

The mission of the Shadow Club is to secretly be responsible for the security of important targets.

For example, the big name Li Xiao himself, even if there is Shigang Yiyu by his side. And the guards who are close to each other, but there is still the shadow department guarding in the dark, and the shadow department ninjas cover with various identities. And secretly monitor to see if others have unruly attempts.

In addition to Li Xiao, there are his family members Yumi Oba, sisters Yuzhen Oba, as well as the children of Li Zheng, Li Yong, and Mingchuan Li Xiao, as well as a group of gods and Bao Changxian. There are people from the shadow department around, guarding in secret.

And this time, when Li Xiao traveled through Mino and returned to Hida, the Shadow Club was responsible for his safety along the way.

Don't think that there is only Shigang Yiyu next to Li Xiao. Usami Nami and others, but in fact, there are more than 20 shadow ninjas near this logging house, dressed as passers-by. Farmers, merchants, monks, loggers and other identities. Scattered around, secretly detect and guard for it.

And on the pre-determined route. There are other shadow ninjas along the way, paving the way for them to detect and respond.

Yoshige Yokotani under this sound part. The Anbu and the three major parts of the Shadowbu all have a special Shinnin in charge.

The identities of the three Shangren were kept secret, and even the internal ninjas did not understand their true identities.

Among them, the appointment of Shangren must be approved by Li Xiao himself.

Under the upper ninja, it is the middle ninja of the person in charge of the task, and the last is the lower ninja who realizes every detail.

Such a level-by-level transmission will ensure its strict level and the confidentiality of information.

And Li Xiao, the huge ninja army scattered in all directions, totaled more than two thousand people, more than ten times larger than when Li Xiaoling ordered Yokotani Kosuke and first established the ninja organization.

And more than two thousand people, not including the off-line, ears and eyes that the Ninja organization recruited separately.

This Ninja Legion is simply another Kakimoto's scale, and the investment capital is not less than Kakimoto's.

After completing this move, Li Xiao proved one thing, that is, despite the existence of Sado, the golden mountain of an enemy country.

No matter how big the Jinshan is, if you try to spend money, you can still use it as clean as you can pour it into the sea.

After the establishment of the ninja army, Li Xiao was not at ease in the end, and set up the post of Daibumu, recruited personnel by himself, and formed his own system.

Its function is to be responsible for the supervision of the supervisory system, specifically supervising the three major ministries of the ninja, to see if there is any act of stealing by the guards and deceiving the master.

As for the candidate for Omefu, just like Tokugawa Ieyasu who chose Yanagyuu, Li Xiao also chose a sword magnate who was more famous in history than Yanagyuu.

This person is a young swordsman that Shangquan Nobuzuna only met when he traveled around the world and arrived in the country of Buqian.

After the two discussed, Shangquan Nobuzuna praised his swordsmanship, and it happened that this young swordsman also had the ambition to succeed.

So Shangquan Xinzuna was pushing the boat along the water as a personal affection, and he recommended this person to Li Xiao.

After Shinzuna Ueizumi recommended this person, he returned to Yamato Yanagyu shortly afterwards, and died in front of his disciple Yanagyo Zongyan.

This generation of Juggernauts was destined to Huangquan at the age of seventy. Li Xiao heard about this and remembered the two encounters with Shangquan Nobunaga that year, and couldn't help but sigh.

They can be regarded as not having the friendship that they did not know each other, and have a bit of sympathy for each other.

Li Xiao ordered people to send a thousand guans of money to Liu Sheng Zongyan, and hoped that he could come to Toyama City in Viet-Chong to open a kendo hall, inherit and carry forward the swordsmanship of Shangquan Nobuzuna's new Yinliu.

Yanu Shengzong sighed with emotion Li Xiao's respect for Shangquan Nobutsuna, and promised to go to Yuezhong after he settled down with his family.

After that, Yan Guozheng, Yan Guozhen, promised to come to Toyama City, teach the swordsmanship, and create the new Yinliu of Liu Sheng, which became the descendant of the new Yinliu.

Zongyan Yanagi and his son Zongju Yanagi inherited the Kendo of Nobuzuna Kamizumi in Hokuriku and carried it forward.

And the three of Yanagyu Zongyan, Yanagyu Zongju, and the ancestors and grandsons of Yanagyu Shibingwei, are called the Three Tengu of Yanagyu.

Among them, Liu Sheng Zongju later became Li Zheng's guide to the art of war. Liu Sheng is very honorable, but all of this is a story.

And now in the mountains of Kiso Valley, Li Xiao is preparing to set off again. His new Omousuke, who also leads the members of the Megoshi team, is preparing to meet Li Xiao at the border of Shinano and Hida.

Wakasa Country, Tase Mountain Castle.

After three days and two nights, after intense negotiations, the Maori diplomat, Anguoji Huiqiong, had returned to Izumo and Maori Terumoto, and Yoshikawa Motoharu returned to life on the Maori customs ship.

At the pier, Masashin Honda watched Anguo Temple Huiqiong's boat, disappearing into the sky, with a smile on his face.

In fact, the negotiations with the Maori family hosted by Masanobu Honda are progressing very well.

In ancient times, there was no telephone communication. In many cases, diplomats could only decide on the occasion. If you have to ask the lord for advice and instructions, then you will come back and forth again and again, and you will not have to negotiate.

And Masanobu Bento, who is in charge of the Li family's diplomacy, of course, did an excellent job of negotiating with the Maori family this time.

Initially reached an agreement between the two to jointly attack Tango country, and discussed the specific boundaries of the division. Of course, as a Maori diplomat, Anguoji Huiqiong also won enough benefits for the Maori. On the whole, Bendo , Anguo Temple two people can be regarded as winning the battle this round.

Then Masanobu Honda returned to the castle tower again, and at this time the messenger from the Naito family also came.

This time the Naito family’s envoy came to present the Naito family’s hostage to the Li family.

The hostages include Naito Ruan’s younger brother Naito Masanori, and his protagonist Naito Yuufu, who completed the contribution of these two hostages, which means that the Naito family is officially subordinate to the Li family’s determination.

Honda Masanobu was very satisfied, and praised the Naito family's messenger at the moment, asking him to go back and convey his respect for Naito Ruan.

After completing this matter, the messenger of the Naito family naturally asked Masanobu Honta to ask the Takeda family to send out immediately to strengthen Wakasa’s forces so as to support the Naito family at any time. After all, the Hatano family is already at risk under Akechi Mitsuhide’s offensive. .

After hearing this, Masayuki Honda looked solemn, and immediately called Muto Yuji to discuss.

What Muto Yui has been doing in the past few days is to use the double call of Takeda Motoaki and the Li family to desperately sleep with anti-Nishi Wakasa nationals, and has achieved very good results.

In addition to surrendering several nationals, he also sent troops to flatten a stubbornly rebellious family. Now half of the Wakasa country has fallen into the hands of the Li family.

Hearing Naito’s request for help, Mutou said with reluctance that if he was in the Shibata Corps and did not return from the front line and did not weaken the guards of Mount Tase, he could draw two thousand military support from the subordinates. Naito's house.

Hearing this, Bendo couldn't help but look a little ugly.

Although Wakasa Kuni says that Shigao has only 85,000 shi, it has commercial circulation and abundant fisheries, so it has a rich income and a good people.

Therefore, Muto Yuji said that half of Wakasa country’s mobilization power is definitely more than that.

Otherwise, Wakasa Takeda could not have become the main general of Hosokawa Katsumoto with this national power ~www.wuxiamtl.com~, and was known as the deputy general of the Eastern Army during the Onin Rebellion.

Therefore, Muto Yui either slopped himself sloppily, or he has insufficient control over the people.

But at present, the reason is obviously the former. Although Honda Masanobu was furious, he did not easily break out. Instead, he comforted Mutoh with a good word.

It was stated that the dispatch of troops to the Tamba domestic Fuji family was only to assist its defense, not in combat. After that, Muto Yumako only agreed to send three thousand troops to see if he could support the Naito family.

When Honda Zhengxin heard this, he nodded slowly.

But at this moment, an envoy came in and reported Li Xiao's assassination in Shinano.

This news was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky to Bendo Masahiro, but looking at Mutoh before him, Bendo Masahiro still suppressed the situation and prevented him from seeing his mood swings.

But in the bottom of my heart, Ben Duo is faithful. . .
