Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 554: Thinking forward and backward

When Akechi Mitsuhide put forward Li Xiao’s legion decisive battle, the voice fell

All the servants of the Oda clan present, their eyes were solemn

If before the Naga Shino battle, there is a Hida Yuezhong legion, how can it be in the eyes of the Oda family?

But at the moment Li Xiao is Kaga Million Stones, and even the bravest and best fighting general of the Oda family, Shibata Katsumi, is defeated by Li Xiao.

The wise Mitsuhide’s Kinki Army may be equal in strength to the Li Xiao Army, but there is no possibility of victory.

Although Zhizhi Mitsuhide is resourceful, he may not win Li Xiao

In other words, with any legion force in the Oda family now, it’s definitely not possible to suppress the Li Xiao legion.

You know, under the city of Beizhizhuang, there are 50,000 troops gathered

So what is Akechi Mitsuhide's plan?

At this time, the commander of the Sanyo Mountain ** army, Hideyoshi Hashiba, said: "Hyuga Mori-sama, as far as I know, the Kinki Army is still carrying out suppression and siege of Honganji Temple, and Hatanoya of Tanba country. Raiders, then your Excellency proposes a decisive battle with the Li Xiao army. How much army can the Kinki army draw?"

Akechi Mitsuhide turned his head and glanced at Hashiba Hideyoshi, secretly furious, and at the same time admired the shrewdness of this small, low-born Owari monkey.

Hearing what Hashiba Hideyoshi said, all the vassals also understood. Now the Kinki Army Hatano, the Honganji two families have not been settled, and they will definitely not be able to draw too much troops to participate in the battle against the Li Xiao Army.

Then undoubtedly this thankless chore will be borne by others

So Wise Mitsuhide’s move, in the eyes of everyone, has become an act of ‘brothers, don’t be afraid to rush to me, I’ll give you the queen.’

Akechi Mitsuhide’s eyes flickered, and he saw Oda Shinta’s expression in his eyes. At this time, he stretched out **** and said: "Twenty thousand troops, no problem."

With the current situation of Akechi Mitsuhide, this is already his limit.

Even Oda Nobuya nodded and said: "Hyuga Shou Honganji is the top priority of Kinki, so don't be careless."

Akechi Mitsuhide bowed his head to Oda Nobuya and said: "Please rest assured, Ishiyama will have no problem."

In fact, Mitsuhide Aichi has been persuading Ishiyama Hongan Temple to persuade surrender through court relations.

The Hongan Temple appears to be surrounded by a blockade of the Oda Army, so the internal and external difficulties have been loosened.

After receiving Oda Nobuya's approval, Akechi Mitsuhide raised his head, looked at Hashiba Hideyoshi, and asked, "Sama Chikuzen, what do you think?"

As far as Akechi Mitsuhide knows, Hashiba Hideyoshi’s situation is not easy, and he has to support Miki Castle in the fight against Miki Castle. Ukita, who was invaded by the Mori family.

Hashiba Hideki laughed, showing the yellow teeth on the front door, making a fist with his right hand and patting down, and said with confidence: "This legion can produce 10,000 troops to help the lord's cause."

Hearing Hashiba Hideyoshi say this, Mitsuhide Akechi was amazed.

Oda Nobuya laughed and said, "Hyuga Mamoru and Chikuzen Mamoru are two loyal ministers of the family."

Speaking of this, General Oda Nobuya said with a deep expression: "Everyone, I want the whole world, not just the gains and losses of a corps. Yan Zai"

As Oda Nobuya said, many of the local tycoons who came from the non-Oda family here have very different opinions in their hearts.

But everyone, in harmony, knelt down to Oda Nobuada, expressing obedience

Oda Nobuya watched, everyone surrendered in front of him, and he couldn't help being satisfied, and said in his heart: Father, have you seen it in the Spirit of Heaven? I believe in loyalty and will inherit your last will, and eventually help the world

Just as Oda Nobuya was smug, a samurai hurried into the hall and said loudly: "Report to the lord, Master Takigawa had a belly in the residence."

"what?"

"what?"

All of the Oda’s retainers who were present suddenly turned their heads and discerned the authenticity of the news from the face of the samurai.

But Oda Nobuya suddenly stood there.

"Master Iyoshou" Hideyoshi Hashiba lost his words, but his eyes were a little cold.

The death of Kazuki Takikawa was just an episode

Oda Nobuada seemed to be aware of his fault and treated the Takigawa clan favorably. He thanked Takikawa Kazuyuki for his contribution to the Oda clan’s Southern and Northern Wars, and at the same time gathered people’s hearts.

After the assessment of Azuchi Castle is over

All the retainers returned to the confinement and proceeded with soldiers

In February of the seventh year of Tensho, when the spring is warm and the snow melts, it rises from Harima country in the west, Ise Coast in the south, and Owari and Mino in the east.

Countless soldiers and horses gathered from all directions towards Antucheng

And the news that Oda Nobuya prepared to lead the army out of Echizen was sent to Li Xiao through various channels as soon as possible.

Echizen, Kitanosho Castle

In February of the seventh year of Tianzheng, the Siege of Beizhizhuang also entered the fifth month

The fifty thousand troops besieging Kitanosho Castle spent a winter in Echizen

In the military account, Li Xiao faced the charcoal-fired brazier, took out the letter paper, and looked at the military report from Antucheng.

Except for the Higashiyama Road Corps Kawajiri Hidetaka, Tokugawa Ieyasu who monitors the direction of Mikawa, and some garrisons

Oda Shintagawa directly under the army, Kinki army, Sanyosan ** army, Ise, Shima army, the main force of the four army groups, assembled in the direction of Azuchi Castle

Li Xiao closed the letter paper, put his hands next to the brazier and warmed up, thinking that this is the maximum force that the Oda family can use now, and Oda Nobuya really valued me.

The North Sho Castle has not yet been captured, and the Oda family has gathered heavily. How should we deal with ourselves now?

Li Xiao picked up a glass of sake, pours himself, while thinking deeply

Are you going to retreat? All previous efforts have been abandoned

Oda Nobuya is not incompetent

The time of Oda Nobuya's coming to fight this time is indeed a bit just right.

When Li Xiao’s army surrounded Kitanosho Castle, Oda Shinta could hold back and not come to rescue.

Now in the fifth month of the siege, Li Xiao has done countless efforts on Beizhizhuang City. The mere consumption of military rations is an astronomical figure.

Li Xiao’s several granaries in Yuezhong, Noto, and Kaga can now run rats in the open.

The little possessions that I have accumulated over the past ten years will be exhausted.

Seeing that the Shibata army’s food and grass in the northern village of Beizhizhuang are going to be exhausted, the Maeda Toshi family will be able to sleep with the Shibata generals in the city.

At this moment, Oda Nobuya will mobilize the main force of the Oda clan to come to relieve the siege

If you want to take the northern Zhuangcheng, then Li Xiao must leave a part of the siege army and lead the main force to fight against the four elite groups of Oda.

If Li Xiao’s current strength can be used, he will have to wait for Nobuhiro Takeda to clean up what the Hojo family is doing, and directly lead his army to Luo, and take advantage of the world.

But if the generals are removed from the siege and return to Kaga, will Li Xiao be willing?

Just as Li Xiao was pondering, an urgent report came from Kanto.

Looking outside the military account, the exhausted and muddy appearance of the samurai who delivered the letter was obviously an urgent report.

Li Xiao pinched the center of his eyebrows with his thumb and index finger, and spread out the letter paper

This is a letter written by Takeda Shinhan to Li Xiao

The letter is good news and two bad news

The good news is that after Nobuhiro Takeda promised to suppress the Hojo clan, he was rewarded with the Kanto governor of the Date clan in exchange for Date Huizong, the governor of the Date clan.

Seeing the Yida family at both ends of the snake and rat, finally made a decision, Li Xiao couldn't help but shocked at the moment.

But shortly after, Takeda Nobuhiro wrote that Dewa’s best family daimyo, 33-year-old best Yoshimitsu, joined the Hojo family’s camp.

The governor of the house, Yoshimitsu, led six thousand troops from Kurokawa Castle to attack the daimyo Daihoji family belonging to the Date family.

Li Xiao was surprised when he saw this news. He remembered that the most Yiguang, this fashion inherited the house governor for only a few years.

He is currently fighting the rebellion of the top eight retainers in the Dingding collar, and he looks like a scorched head. How could it be possible at this time to have spare energy to get involved in other people's affairs?

But Li Xiaoxun figured out why

For the first half of Dewa Daimyo Yoshimitsu's life, it was a difficult survival. He was the first successor to the top family, but he was disgusted by his father Yoshimori, and wanted to change his second son to the house superintendent.

Yiguang finally got the help of his retainers to sit on the position of housekeeper, but the most important thing is that Yiguang’s **** is not hot yet.

Known as the highest eight, the highest eight ministers, and the highest righteous son-in-law, Huizong Date, united the troops to make the highest righteous light and slam down from the position of the governor.

So far, Yoshihikari has started a long journey to calm down the inner wealthy family.

In Pingding’s highest eight, the Date family intervened several times in the matter of the highest family, so there was a deep grievance on both sides, and the Dabao Temple family also coveted the territory of the highest family.

So this time, Yoshimitsu is the best, and I took this opportunity to join the Hojo camp and start a formal battle against the Dahoji family and the Date family.

After Li Xiao understood all of this, he knew that this was another mess.

The complicated situation in Kanto and the grievances between the various daimyos for hundreds of years led to the fact that both sides entered the camp.

I heard that even Mutsu’s Soma family might join the team.

If this continues, if one day, the Oyizaki family in Hokkaido will also insert a leg here, Li Xiao will not be surprised at all.

This life-and-death battle for Takeda to suppress Hojo was simply Sarajevo in the First World War. The gunpowder barrel was smashed, and the wealthy clans joined the two camps because of their mutual grievances.

The current Date’s house, like a boy who has taken off the woman’s pants, but has been unable to complete the last step, is still hovering at the entrance of the hole.

From Takeda Nobuhiro’s letter, Li Xiao learned that the private grievance between the top family and the Date family has successfully held back the Date family.

In all fairness, from the perspective of his own family’s interests, Yoshihikari’s choice is correct and correct. However, for the Takeda family who was lying down and shot, it was a great disadvantage.

Date Huizong, a soft and indecisive person, once again lost his way on the road

The Date family’s inability to participate in the war is directly related to the final result of Takeda vs. Hojo.

The next bad news from Takeda Nobuhiro to Li Xiao is the battle in Kanto, and it seems that it cannot be over for the time being.

At this critical moment, please Major-General Guards. In any case, you must continue to hold the main force of the Oda Army in Hokuriku.

Takeda Nobuhiro analyzed at the end of the letter. The key to the battle was Kanto, but it was Li Xiao of Hokuriku who influenced the winner.

If Li Xiao fails to support his retreat, the Oda family’s 100,000 troops will inevitably invade Shinano from Zhongshan Road, so the Takeda family will not say defeating Hojo, the destruction will only be in the blink of an eye.

Li Xiao understood that at the end of Nobuhiro Takeda, he revealed the helpless tone of being pushed by fate and struggling hard.

At this point in the battle, the Takeda family can take a step forward and take control of the world. If you take a step back, the country will be annihilated.

Sometimes, the winners and losers are just between such advances and retreats.

The current situation has reached the point of advancing without retreating for the Takeda family

Nobuhiro Takeda is already imploring, please Li Xiao continue to lead the army to garrison the Hokuriku Road

Li Xiao doesn’t understand that Takeda Nobuhira is looking at the situation of his face at the moment. If Kanto wins and succeeds in suppressing Hojo, Takeda Nobuhiro can lead the Takeda family in one fell swoop, and Shangluo will seize the world and achieve hegemony.

And if Li Xiaoruo retreated from Hokuriku, the Takeda family was destroyed and he became a guilty man.

Li Xiao crumpled up Takeda Nobuhira’s autograph letter unceremoniously and threw it into the brazier.

What a thankless strategy task. If you suppress Hojo and win, Takeda Nobubashi will be infinitely prosperous, and in the future, who will see Li Xiao and pay silently now.

It's like a big drama, only seeing the beauty of the female No.1, but there is no way to see the tears of the mistress, everything is for the ratings

No matter, I can only play a supporting role for a while, bear with me

Li Xiao shook his head. Even though Takeda Shinhan has been slandered countless times, this strategy was also the one he strongly supported at the beginning.

When it comes to implementation, it is irrelevant. Compared with the whole battle, Li Xiao is only a **** at present, no matter how powerful it is, he must do his own thing now.

Li Xiao immediately gave an order and said: "Immediately convene the generals for military discussions."

In the military account

Li Xiao made no secret of the current situation of the legion and truthfully told the generals

Let them know that now the main force of the Oda clan has arrived, and Kitanosho Castle has not yet been conquered

At this time, facing the main force of the Oda Army and returning to Kaga~www.wuxiamtl.com~ to save the strength of the army, two paths are placed in front of the generals.

All the retainers know that these two roads are difficult and difficult roads

At this time, the retainers who did not have a deep connection with the Takeda family, such as Takatora Fujido, Hideharu Kano and others, began to euphemistically express their opinions in military discussions.

It’s nothing more than this legion, and it’s enough for the master at the moment. It’s enough to do all the work to this level, and it’s doing its best to perform the duties of the subordinate legion.

It is not a shameful act to protect the power and retreat to an impossible opponent under your eyes.

The retainers also have an opinion, in troubled times, strength is king

If the main force is defeated and the power is exhausted, it will be difficult to gain a foothold even if the family’s Shangluo succeeds in the future.

And if it is to preserve the military strength, then even if the family is destroyed, the Hida Yuezhong Legion can be unique, and the worst in the future will be a prince along the way.

When Li Xiao heard this, he shook his head and said: "You guys don't have any good opinions, then I decided that I will launch a general attack on the northern city of Zhuang soon"//
