Chapter 81: Three Ways to Kill

Takeda Shingen walked to Li Xiao and sat down, unfolded the folding fan in his hand, shook it gently with his right hand, and said: "If you want to say something, you should not want Taro and Huchang to hear it, now you can speak directly." ”

"Yes, Lord Lord, I would like to ask His Royal Highness Katsuyori for his order to hand over the matter of attacking Nishiueno to His Highness Katsuyori."

Takeda Shingen laughed, slapped his right knee with a folding fan, and said, "I see, but you are one step late, and I have already handed over this matter to Huchang." ”

"Rice-tomi-sama?" Li Xiao's eyes flickered, but he was still very calm on the surface. Iitomi Torama went to attack Nishi-Ueno, so it was obvious that Taro Yoshinobu would also participate in the strategy, and if this was the case, Takeda Katsuyori would have no chance to join the Nishi-Ueno Raiders at all.

"My lord, Your Majesty still insists on the original opinion." Li Xiao replied categorically.

"Oh? Are you questioning Iitomi-sama's abilities, or is there some other reason? ”

"Lord Iifu's ability, His Majesty will naturally not question it, but the most suitable person to attack the West Ueno is none other than His Royal Highness."

Li Xiao sorted out his thoughts slightly, and then said: "His Royal Highness Katsurai, he just defeated the combined forces of Ueno and Uesugi with 800 people in Shirane Mountain, and he is on the side. As soon as His Highness's banner arrives, the Nishiueno wealthy clan, shocked by His Highness's reputation, will most likely lose the courage to fight and surrender in Kaejo. It is very likely that my Takeda family will defeat most of Nishiueno without bloodshed. ”

Takeda Shingen nodded and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but in this matter, I always agreed to Lord Itomi first." ”

Li Xiao looked at Takeda Shingen, only to see him looking at himself with interest, as if waiting for himself to say some reason to convince him.

Li Xiao smiled secretly, he was not going to hide it, he was now treating convincing Takeda Shingen as the biggest challenge, and gambling Takeda Katsuyori with his fate.

Li Xiao looked directly into Takeda Shingen's eyes and asked bluntly, "Lord Lord, dare to ask what your life's ambition is?" ”

"Shangluo."

Shingen Takeda replied without hesitation.

Li Xiao nodded, and asked again: "Then dare to ask the lord, with my tens of thousands of elite soldiers, why don't you do this great cause of Shangluo now?" ”

Takeda Shingen glanced at Li Xiao, and seemed to feel that he was asking knowingly, but he still replied: "Because there is still Echigo's elbow system in the rear, my Shingen can't free his hands and go westward with all his might." ”

Li Xiao smiled and said: "In this case, then the first thing my Takeda family needs to do now is to eradicate Uesugi Kenshin in Echigo, right?" ”

Takeda Shingen nodded slowly.

At this time, Li Xiao said solemnly: "My lord, my subordinates have a strategy, although they can't destroy Echigo, it is enough to ensure that my Takeda family can suppress Echigo within three to five years." ”

Rao is Takeda Shinxuan has always been calm and comfortable, and at this moment he was also shocked by Li Xiao's unashamed words.

But if this sentence is changed to anyone who says it, Takeda Shingen will scoff at it, even if it is Iifu Huchang, the four ministers under his command, which general will be scolded by Takeda Shingen for being arrogant, of course, driven out of the door.

But this sentence is the only one Li Xiao said, Takeda Shingen has to think deeply about it at the moment, the other party is the person who assisted Shiro to defeat Uesugi Kenshin, even Yamamoto Kansuke thinks that the other party's ability is ten times that of him, does this Li Xiao really have any insight?

"What the hell is the plan?" Shingen Takeda asked.

"Please give me a map of Hokuriku."

Takeda Shingen nodded, called the little surname outside the door, and took a topographic map of Hokuriku. Then Li Xiao took a folding fan, and now he had a taste of pointing out the country, and then waved his hand, and the handle of the fan fell on the map.

Li Xiaokan said eloquently: "Since Uesugi Huihu succeeded to the governor of the Nagao family, he has been conquering the east and west for more than ten years, pacifying Echigo, and has not tasted a defeat. The territory under its jurisdiction is long and narrow, resembling a large dragon lying horizontally, with its back to the sea, its head to the east and its tail to the west, and it is bordered by Dewa Province, Mutsu Province, Ueno Province, Shinano Province, and Hida Province in turn.

Li Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed to Shinano in the south of Echigo, and said: "My Takeda family has always sent troops from Kai Confident, so Uesugi Terutora will send troops from the main city of Chunyu Mountain Castle, and set up a formation on Kawanaka Island to confront our army, forming a decisive battle between the two armies. Please forgive your subordinates for saying bluntly, if you talk about the duel between the two armies and the decisive battle, you and Uesugi Teruto, the lord, neither side dares to say that they will win each other. In this case, making a surname decisive battle is equivalent to gambling on the national fortunes of the two countries, which is really not the best choice for my Takeda family. ”

Li Xiao is telling the truth, and the battle of Nakajima in Sichuan is the best example, and the two families lost both.

Li Xiao glanced at Takeda Shingen, and saw that he did not mean to deny or be unhappy, so he continued: "So Your Majesty thinks that if you want to cut off the big dragon of Echigo, if you don't plan to fight a decisive battle from the front, we can launch a strategy against Echigo from Hida, Shinano, and Ueno at the same time, so that the dragon of Echigo can't take care of each other. ”

Takeda Shinxuan's eyes lit up, and he seemed to vaguely grasp the meaning of Li Xiao's words.

"Li Xiao, what you mean is to make it impossible for Uesugi Kenshin to be separated from three battlefields at the same time."

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Lord." You must know that although Uesugi Kenshin can be called a military unparalleled, there is no general under his command who can stand alone. If the Takeda family completes the strategy of the two countries of Nishi-Ueno, Hida. At that time, the lord can personally lead a large army to be stationed on Kawanaka Island, and at this time, Uesugi Kenshin will definitely not dare to leave the mountain castle of Chunyue. When the time comes, the lord can choose two generals to attack Echigo from Nishiueno and Hida respectively. Uesugi Kenshin couldn't care about each other. ”

Hearing Li Xiao's words, the folding fan in Takeda Shinxuan's hand stopped shaking and looked at the other party in a daze.

Li Xiao also looked at Takeda Shinxuan, he was sure that Takeda Shingen was saying in his heart at this moment, how could this Li Xiao coincide with what I thought in my heart.

Well, it's not that the hero sees the same thing, but the strength of the traverser, nothing remarkable.

In fact, what Li Xiao said is also the strategy plan of the Takeda family in the next five years. From the 5th year of Eiroku to the 10th year of Eiroku, Takeda Shingen has been tirelessly carrying out a grand strategy against the dragon of Echigo.

After the capture of Nishiueno, the central part of the great dragon of Echigo was completely exposed to the Takeda family's troops, and then Takeda Shingence rebelled against Honjo Shirancho and became independent, and then he went out of Hida Province and subdued the local indigenous Eima clan, and rebelled against Echichu Shiina Yasuin and erected a rebel flag against Uesugi Kenshin.

In fact, in history, this plan was only half carried out, mainly because the Takeda family turned the direction of the later attack to the Imagawa family, and Kaesugi Kenshin sent salt to negotiate peace at this juncture, so the plan died abruptly.

If Takeda Shingen is really willing to make a three-way killing move, he will send troops from Hida to connect the forces of Ichijomune, Eima, Jiboke, and Shiina Yasuyin, and attack Echigo from Echichu. Then he ordered a general to send troops from Nishiueno to connect the army of Honjo and the Ashina family. In the end, Takeda Shingen himself led the main force of the Takeda family from Kawanakajima.

Li Xiao is very much looking forward to taking a look at Uesugi Kenshin's ability, how can he take care of each other when the time comes, and resolve Takeda Shingen's three-way killing.

Takeda Shingen was silent for a while, and said: "I now know why I know why I know about Yamamoto Kansuke, saying that your ability is far above him, but what do you say have to do with letting Shiro participate in the Nishiueno Raiders?" ”

Li Xiaoyan said: "If our army only attacks Nishiueno, Lord Iitomi is enough, but this place is related to the safety of the hinterland of Echigo, and Uesugi Huihu will definitely not ignore it, and the ability of Lord Iitomi is not enough to resist the Uesugi family army alone." It's not Li Xiao's nonsense, at the moment, in the Takeda family, in addition to the lord, only His Royal Highness Shiro has the strength to lead an army to fight Uesugi Teruma in Ueno. ”
