Samurai of the Takeda Family

All the retainers present were deeply moved by Da Xiong Chaoxiu's reluctance and perseverance.

　　 And Li Xiao was surprised when he heard that the big Xiong Chaoxiu, who led dozens of subordinates in history, said that he was going to challenge himself. Well, Wendou can't do it, come play martial arts with me.

　　 Big Xiong Chaoxiu stared at Li Xiao unwillingly. The two people looked at each other.

　　 Facing Daxiong Chaoxiu's provocation, Li Xiao smiled calmly and said: "Since Bizen Shou-sama has this interest, Li Xiao will naturally not refuse, please."

　　 When Li Xiao agreed to the big Xiong Chaoxiu contest, the younger generation of retainers present were very passionate.

　　 The rumors of the Takeda family about the bravery of this Li Xiao-sama have been publicized in the past few months.

　　 At the foot of Matsuyama Castle, Li Xiao fought against Hojo's family Huang Hachiman. Although there was no victory or defeat, the superiority of his performance was faintly revealed, overshadowing the opponent's strength.

According to unreliable rumors between the towns and villages, after Hojo clan returned to Odawara Castle, he repeatedly told the generals that if the Hojo clan and Takeda clan were at odds, the generals should not underestimate the army led by Li Xiao. , If there is no absolute advantage, you can only outsmart, not be invincible.

　　 Afterwards, for the Takeda family, the fabulous Shirane Mountain battle, although there were not many people who saw Li Xiao leading the cavalry in the battle at the Takeda family. But on Uesugi's side, the name of Li Xiao's bravery has spread throughout Echigo.

The same rumor circulating in the market said that after Uesugi Kenshin was defeated in Shirane Mountain, he arrested all his generals and scolded him. Then he praised Li Xiao and called him no one in Guan Bazhou. An enemy brave general.

　　 But no matter how outrageous the rumors are in the market, they are certain of Li Xiao's bravery, but no one knows what degree it has reached.

　　Some people think that the rumors are too exaggerated. The Shirane-Mountain battle depends on Takeda Katsuyoshi's agent, or Uesugi Kenshin admires the courage of the Takeda family and can't bear to kill him. So I feel that Li Xiao's strength is inferior to you.

　　 Some people also felt that Li Xiao's strength was exaggerated too much, as if he was unpredictable, but this would become unreliable.

　　As for the Takeda family, the samurai from Ming Dynasty, how far the martial arts is, everyone still thinks it is better to see is believable.

Including Dazo Changan, new young brave generals such as Baba Masabo, Masabe Masatada, Akiyama Chiku, Takeuchi and Gozaemon, have had the idea to see what Li Xiao’s rumors of spear skills are amazing. I really look forward to the contest between Li Xiao and Da Xiong Chaoxiu.

　　 And the former servants of Takeda Katsuyori, such as the Poco brothers and Masyuki Sanada, all have a pitiful look at the moment, looking at the big bear, as if to say, why are you so troubled?

　　 But to the disappointment of the people present, Li Xiao suggested that the competition be conducted in private.

　　 So most people still stay in the castle tower, and Li Xiao and Daxiong Chaoxiu compete in martial arts together.

The time for a pot of tea has passed, the time for a stick of incense has passed, and even an hour has passed. Li Xiao and Daxiong Chaoxiu have not yet returned. What kind of martial arts can be played for such a long time, and all the retainers have speculated, Li Did Akatsuki and Daxiong Chaoxiu both die together?

　　 Surprisingly again, Li Xiao and Daxiong Chaoxiu returned to the assessment room one after another.

　　 Obviously, Xiong Chaoxiu is in very bad condition. His face is blue and purple, and his face is as swollen as a pig's head. However, Li Xiao is still sitting in his original position. This result is self-evident.

　　After evaluation.

　　 Li Xiao, Baoke Masatoshi, and Sanada Masako, three confidants of Takeda Katsuyoshi, stayed in the lord’s room.

　　 "My lord, please forgive your ministers. Your act of drawing your sword today is too reckless. It will make the new vassals feel that your lord is an unstable person." Bao Ke Zhengjun bluntly said.

　　 Takeda Katsurai laughed, and said indifferently: "Master Danzheng, I know, I know."

　　 Masao Sanada smiled slightly, and said: "However, Big Bear Bizen, today's behavior is too irritating, and changing to someone else will definitely convict him."

After a pause, Masakura Sanada asked Li Xiao again: "Speaking of which, I can convince Da Xiong Biqian, thanks to Master Li Xiao. The reason for this is not big, but it is easy to cause new retainers to join us. The dispute between the two. Li Xiao, it’s not easy to resolve it calmly."

　　 Li Xiao nodded, Masuko Sanada not only supported Takeda Katsuyoshi here, but also came to praise himself, his wrist is not low.

Takeda Katsurai laughed and said, "I didn't know how comfortable it was to see that **** Xiong Chaoxiu being beaten like that. This person has no superiority and should be taught a little lesson, but Li Xiao, why did you Has it taken so long?"

　　 Li Xiao laughed, and recalled that he had just competed with Da Xiong Chaoxiu. With Li Xiao's current strength, the big Xiong Chaoxiu, who relied on dozens of his subordinates to reach a ‘tie’ with Shangquan Nobutsuna, is of course better than that.

　　 The reason why it took so much time is mainly used in education and persuasion.

　　 Li Xiao has always believed in Clausewitz, and war is a continuation of politics. In the same way, Li Xiao’s understanding of this sentence is that it is the same to slap you first and then slowly persuade you with warmth.

　　 Carrots and sticks are the most difficult truth in ancient and modern times. To persuade the other party, the other party must affirm you in a certain way, otherwise it will be Confucius' rebirth.

　　 After the big Xiong Chaoxiu was overwhelmed by Li Xiaowu's force, Li Xiao talked to the big Xiong Chaoxiu about the great truths of later generations. I don't know if Da Xiong Chaoxiu was dizzy by Li Xiao's eloquent speech, or he was discouraged and directly frankly told Li Xiao his thoughts.

　　 So Li Xiao listened and guessed, and guessed more than half of the cause of the big Xiong Chaoxiu's trouble.

　　 It is undeniable that Daxiong Chaoxiu is indeed a talented person, but his mouth is too stinky and his personality is too straightforward to offend many people. Previously, it was because of Ueno Imazu, who was also Uesugi's vassal, and Shimohira Yoshihashi, because of the territorial dispute, the factional conflict between the two parties was intensified. Therefore, in anger, he began to rebel.

　　 In the end, the big bear Chaoxiu failed to rebel, and fled to Takeda's house like a bereaved dog.

Although his military strategy and internal affairs are good, but because of his personality problems, he has been unable to get Shingen's reuse. This time I learned that I was appointed to assist Takeda Katsuyori~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Daxiong Chaoxiu thought he was suffering. After being crowded out, he came to Gaoyuan City, so he made a fuss in the city lord assessment room, thinking that if Takeda Katsuyori couldn't tolerate his character, he decided to run.

　　 Li Xiao said this carefully, Takeda Katsura, Sanada Masanobu and the others suddenly realized.

　　 In this way, the problem was solved, and then Takeda Katsuyoshi personally had a long talk with Dai Xiong Chaoxiu, and the two of the monarch and the minister were relieved of the previous suspicion.

　　 Li Xiao remembers that in history, even though Daikuma Asahide reversed Uesugi Kenshin, he was still very loyal to the Takeda family, especially to Takeda Katsuyoshi. When the Takeda family collapsed, many of the important descendants of the Takeda family were repatriated, but a foreign retainer of the Takeda Asahide never abandoned Takeda Katsuyori. In the end, he died in Tianmu Mountain with Takeda Katsurai and the monarch and his ministers.

　　Okuma Asahide completely surrendered to Takeda Katsuyoshi, and other new retainers dared to have too many opinions, so naturally they also obediently integrated into this system.

　　 In short, with the Great Bear Chaoxiu, and after Baba Masabo and the others joined, the retainer group under Takeda Katsurai has begun to take shape. Among them, there are such experienced veterans as Masatoshi Baoke and Asahide Owong, as well as young generals such as Masayuki Sanada, Masabo Baba, Masatada Atobe, and Akiyama.

　　 These young people settled their positions, and at the same time geared up to do a big business, the whole group of retainers also showed a kind of thriving vitality.

In the next few days, Takeda Katsuyoshi convened a new team of retainers to arrange tasks such as iron cannon purchases, military food reserves, recruiting Ronin, and maintaining public order. After receiving their respective tasks, the retainers did not dare to neglect and were meticulous. Began to operate.

　　 In a blink of an eye, another half a month passed, and it was time for the Suwa army of Takeda Katsuyori to fight in Nishi-Ueno.
