Samurai of the Takeda Family

The other party is a one-eyed, with a jet black blindfold on his left eye, and his right leg is lame again. The sole of his hand can only lean on the ribbed scabbard, step by step to the meeting place. With a muffled sound from the scabbard, Kansuke Yamamoto limped up, see Takeda Shingen.

　　 In the memory of Li Xiao, Yamamoto Kansuke was listed as one of the two great advisers of the Takeda family in the Shingen period with Sanada Kotaka. Of course, the deepest impression is the big river drama "Fujian Volcano", in which Kansuke Yamamoto is the protagonist to introduce his life.

　　 "Kansuke, how are you exploring around Chuanzhong Island these few days?"

"Returning to the lord, I have found out that between tonight and dawn tomorrow, there will be heavy fog in Haijin City and Qianquchuan. I asked many local farmers, and they all said this in unison, and they are In the next few days, we have also conducted detailed investigations and determined that from tonight to dawn tomorrow, there will definitely be a heavy fog."

　　 After listening to Yamamoto's report, Takeda Shingen asked: "Everyone, what's your opinion on this?"

　　 Generally speaking, Kenshin Uesugi’s main line is stationed at the condescending Wife and Daughter Mountain. Any aspect of the Takeda Army’s intention to attack will be detected by the Echigo Army and quickly formulated countermeasures. Therefore, taking the opportunity to move at night when the fog is heavy, and suddenly appearing before dawn to attack the Wife and Daughter Shan Etsuhou Army's main formation, this is undoubtedly the best policy.

　　The generals in the house were also arguing about how to attack, and Li Xiao and other retainers who sat down in the courtyard were generally unable to speak easily, so they had no choice but to wait for the final decision of the military discussion.

　　 At this time, Li Xiao kept his eyes fixed on the single-eyed and lame Yamamoto Kansuke.

　　 "Lord, the minister has a strategy, enough to defeat the Echigo Army?" The loud voice echoed in the room, and the generals saw it was Yamamoto Kansuke.

　　 "Speak." At this moment Takeda Shingen is also distressed about the plan to advance.

"Our army can be divided into two groups. First, send a ranger to march around and launch a surprise attack behind the Etsuhou Army, forcing the Etsuhou Army to flee to Chuanzhong Island, while the main force will attack the Etsuhou Army head-on on Chuanzhong Island, causing the two armies to go back and forth. The attack can effectively wipe out the Etsu-Hou army."

　　 Yamamoto Kan helped this, the generals were in an uproar, and the eyes of Baba Xinfang, Iifumi Tomasa and others all showed deep thoughts.

　　 Takeda Shingen showed a look of interest, and asked aloud: "This tactic sounds very novel, does it have a name?"

　　 "This tactic is like imitating the woodpecker's'catching insects', hitting the back of the tree, and then waiting for the insects to appear on the front of the tree, so it can be called'woodpeckers'." Yamamoto Kansuke replied in a deep voice.

　　 As for the woodpecker tactics proposed by Yamamoto Kansuke, Li Xiao knew well the history and knew that this tactic was not problematic. However, Uesugi Kenshin eventually cracked it and used the plan, which caused the Takeda army to fall into a bitter battle in the battle of Kawanaka Island.

　　 However, even if Li Xiao knew it, he would not object to it at this time. He said nothing, so what could he change? This is the awkwardness of being familiar with history,

　　 Shingen Takeda listened to Yamamoto Kansuke and agreed with him a little bit: "Very good, woodpecker approach, do you have any objections?"

Baba Nobubu, Iifumi Toramasho, and other veterans who have the absolute right to speak in the Takeda family, did not disagree with Yamamoto Kansuke’s opinions. The other Shinano generals frowned. If they cross the Chikuma River, they will attack the mountain. The rear army, undoubtedly, must send their Shinano frontmen who are familiar with the local terrain as their forwards.

　　Clashing with the Echigo Dragon Uesugi Kenshin, this is undoubtedly a hard fight, but as they are currently unable to express opposition.

Just when Sanada Yoshitaka and Kiso Yoshiyasu were not speaking, General Takeda Shingen looked over the retainers, but instead saw Li Xiao who was bored on the steps, and asked, "Li Xiao, how do you think of this woodpecker tactic?" "

　　 Everyone's gazes saw Li Xiao stubbornly. During this period, everyone in the Takeda family knew that Takeda Shingen had accepted a samurai from Mingguo on the other side of the ocean.

　　 "Li Xiao, I'm the Takeda family to discuss, don't use speech, don't tell the origin, you can speak out." Takeda Shingen smiled slightly, watching Li Xiao slowly said.

"Oh." Li Xiao replied. When he raised his head slightly, he felt two eyes fixed on him at the same time, one of which belonged to Da Lang Takeda Yoshinobu, and the other's eyes clearly showed disdain and contempt. , The manners of a family prince, while playing with the folding fan carelessly in his hand.

And the other one comes from Shiro Katsurai, his look is completely opposite to Taro, and he looks expectant, as if he can’t wait for Li Xiao to say some words of Gaoya Jianzhu to refute everyone’s opinions in order to establish his reputation in the Takeda family. , Let his father Takeda Shingen take a look.

　　 And all the retainers also looked at this military commander from the Ming country to see if he had any insights to be published.

Faced with the gaze of everyone, Li Xiao just smiled, modestly and low-key replied: "Lord, when I am a newcomer, I am not familiar with military affairs yet, and I am not familiar with military affairs. I can be summoned by the lord to be in this place. I heard that you sirs. It’s already an honor to have insights."

　　 As soon as he said something, all the courtiers in the hall were taken aback for a moment, and then there was a roar of laughter. Shingen Takeda smiled and said, "Since Li Xiao is unfamiliar with military affairs, then I won't force it."

　　 Li Xiao smiled slightly, but his eyes showed the expressions of the people in the hall without showing the slightest, one by one in the bottom of his eyes.

　　 First, Da Lang Takeda Yoshinobu, first hummed disdainfully, and then whispered a few words with Fan Fu Huchang. Fanfu Huchang also glanced at Li Xiao after listening, pinched his beard under his chin, and then shook his head.

　　 Sheng Lai on the side was very anxious and showed Li Xiao several times. Only Takeda Nobuhira was present, and the two of them looked at Li Xiao with a hint of appreciation.

　　 After Takeda Shingen asked Li Xiao, he turned his eyes to the Shinano people on the left and asked, "Okay, since this is the case. Master Dan Zheng, Daisuke Zhongwu, what do you two think?"

　　 Sanada Yoshitaka, two representatives of Shinano people, Yoshiyasu Kiso, looked at each other, and then both bowed and replied: "I have no objection."

　　 So, the military agreement to implement the woodpecker approach was passed the next day.

At the meeting, it was decided to use Sanada's vanguard as the guide, with Shinano congregation and Kai-line Takayama Nobama, Itoto Tomasa, Baba Nobubo, Oyamada Nobuhiro, Kanri Masatada, Aiki Masasa, Ashida Shimomori, and Oyamada Masahiro Tatsun, the ranger formed by Ken Kobata, a military force of 12,000 attacked Wife and Daughter Mountain.

　　 And Shingen Takeda stayed at the main formation, crossing the Chikumagawa formation in the early morning of tomorrow, and defeating the retreating Echihou army with eight thousand troops.

　　 Li Xiao stood up and went to lunch with the retired retainers, but Takeda Katsuyori didn't come over, looking angrily.

　　 Li Xiao looked in his heart, still felt that this kid was still too immature, and his anger was too glamorous. But this is his true nature, maybe one of his future strengths, isn't it the same with Oda Nobunaga's personality?

　　 Given today's situation, how dare he comment on the opinions of the two important ministers of the horse farm and Iito on his position in the Takeda family? Therefore, any evaluation he made in the military meeting, whether right or wrong, is wrong.

　　Even if he can successfully overthrow the arguments of the two, it would be equivalent to offending the generals of the Kaiba line with Itoba and Itomi. The future life in the Takeda family will not be easy.

　　 How about even if the Takeda clan wins a big battle in Tomorrow's Chuan Nakajima? As far as Li Xiao's ambitions are concerned, of course, he must be cautious, so that he can steal power in the future, seek a success for himself, and do his little work for the homeland on the other side.

　　 Even if the Takeda family can eventually dominate Japan's four islands and sixty-six countries, there is no place for Li Xiao, and it is meaningless to him.

　　 Wife and Daughter Mountain, the main line of the Echigo Army.

　　Ranlong Banner, Bishamen Tianqi with black characters on both sides of the white background, is moving against the moist wind hunting from Chuanzhong Island. The two flags are like a door on the left and right, guarding this man who is only in his early thirties.

The opponent is burly in stature, almost a head taller than the generals who are standing by. His armor is covered with a snow-colored monk's robe, and his head is also covered with white silk cloth. This is the'Shangyi' who will be honored for life.' Uesugi Kenshin who fought for justice' (At this moment, he is still named Uesugi Masato, for the sake of convenience, he is still known as Uesugi Kenshin. The name of the book also adopts a similar narrative, and I will not mention all of them).

In terms of the temperament of the commander-in-chief of the two sides, Shingen Takeda is like an elder with insight and foresight, while Uesugi Kenshin is like a domineering, courageous and decisive general. At this time, Uesugi Kenshin is only thirty. One year old, nine years younger than Takeda Shingen, but he is known as a military **** and the first general in the Warring States period.

　　 Uesugi Kenshin was extremely tall, and he was sitting upright on the horse, looking at the main formation of the Takeda Army in Kaizu Castle in the distance.

　　 At this time, Kenshin Uesugi frowned and asked the generals: "Why do you see that the smoke from the Takeda Army today is denser and earlier than before?"

　　 "Lord, it's likely that the Takeda family is about to act."

The speaker was Yoshiki Murakami. This person was originally a strong Shinano clan. He was extremely brave. He had given Takeda Shingen only two defeats in his life. But in the end he lost to the Takeda family's strategy and went to Uesugi Kenshin's banner. The military strength of the rear army restored his original rule in Shinano.

　　 At this time, the chief fierce general of the Echigo Army, Kakizaki Keijia said: "Regardless of whether Takeda is fighting or not, our army is almost exhausted, and it must be time to break out of the siege."

Kenshin Uesugi was silent, just staring at the main formation of the Takeda army at the foot of the mountain, and then said in a deep voice: "Xin Xuan's use of soldiers has gained the true taste of grandson's strategy. When the truth is false, he may deliberately lure me to wait down the mountain. Attack, you can’t make a decision right now."

　　 At this moment, a messenger ran up the mountain, panting, and handed a secret letter to Uesugi Kenshin through his surname.

　　 Ken Uesugi, after reading the letter, he rubbed the letter paper casually and said with a smile: "Takeda Shingen, has decided to send troops tonight, divided into two troops, and attacked my wife and daughter Yamamoto formation."

　　 The generals of the Echigo army were all taken aback. Among them, Naoe Mizuna, who is known for his wisdom, asked: "Is the content of the letter reliable? Know that this may also be Shingen's strategy."

Kenshin Uesugi shook his head and said, "There will be no falsehoods. Shino wants the Shinano people to come and fight with our army, but I don't know that the Shinano people are not dedicated to Shino. They refuse to consume their strength. UU Read www.uukanshu.com. Only then did the Shinano people report to me, the purpose is to allow me to take advantage of the emptiness and directly take the original formation of Shingen Hachimanhara."

Naoe Mizuna thought for a while and said: "In the first three battles on Chuanzhongjima, Kai Fei's army has been evading the battle and procrastinating with our army, but today it decided to make a decisive battle for the whole army. This is really weird. The lord is worse than summoning the army. Discuss, discuss with the general public before making a decision."

Kenshin Uesugi unceremoniously sneered and said, "If you can win a war by holding a military meeting, you don't need me to fight the war. I will give you this command fan, and I might as well let you and Shingen How about the contest?"

　　 Naoe Mizuna was so ridiculed by Kenshin Uesugi suddenly dumb. Unlike the military plan of the retainer regiment of the Takeda family, the military plan of the Uesugi family is basically based on the decision of Kenshin on his own. Ken Uesugi believes that he is victorious in all battles. The brave and invincible war **** has been firmly established in the hearts of the soldiers of the Echihou Army. The lofty prestige makes no one in the army dared to question his decision.

　　 Seeing from the wife and daughter mountain, Saikawa and Chikumakawa entwined Chuanzhong Island like two large pythons.

　　 Kenshin Uesugi had been familiar with him for a long time, Huo Ran stood up, glanced at the generals, waved the army fan in his hand, and chanted:

　　 Martial luck lies in the heavens, the armor lies in the chest, and the merit lies in the feet.

　　 Whenever, place the enemy in our palms and start a battle together.

　　 Those who do not die but the warriors live, and those who do not live but the warriors must die.

　　 Unpredictable mind and luck, the only time is bad.

　　 As a warrior, everyone must decide their own luck.

　　 The generals heard what Qianxin said, and they all raised their arms and replied in unison: "I would like to follow the general to break out of the siege and return to Echihou."

　　 Finally, Ken Ken Uesugi closed the military fan in his hand, and pointed his right hand toward the Takeda Army Honjin at the foot of the mountain.

　　 Out!

　　 Kennobu Uesugi suddenly broke out the two words.
