Chapter 541: Power is Poison (2nd Watch)

On the second day after the capture of Kasugayama Castle, Takeda Nobushihiro led the main army of the Takeda family back to Kai, while Li Xiao also led the Hida Echichu Army back to Echichu, and the remaining Takasaka Masanobu led the Kita-Shinano Army to continue to pacify Echigo

Takasaka Masanobu is still sitting in Haijin Castle, and as for the future Echigo Left-behind general, everyone is very suspicious for a while, and it is not easy to choose

This person had to be familiar with the situation in Echigo, not too bad for personal prestige, and had to be loyal to the Takeda family

After thinking about it, Li Xiao recommended one person to Takeda Shinfan, which greatly satisfied the generals of the Takeda family present

This person is the current city lord of Xiaoshan City in Yuanjiang Country, Daxiong Chaoxiu

Thinking of the poisonous tongue, the big bear Chaoxiu, Li Xiao has been dealing with him for a long time, and they are all riding in Iwaju City as Takeda Katsuyori, and they have fought to the death together in the Uesugi family, and they have the love of robes

As a result, Okuma Ashide, who was familiar with the situation in Echigo, was heavily used by Takeda Nobu, not only appointed as Kasuga Yamashiro Castle, but also restored the original territory of the Okuma family in Mikan Castle, Nakaharaki County, Echigo

In addition, the knowledge and deeds of the Great Bear family were increased to 45,000 koku to thank him for his loyalty and dedication to serving the two generations of lords of Takeda Shingen, Takeda Katsuyori

Let the big bear Asahide become the important town of the Takeda family in Echigo and envelop the Echigo wealthy family

It is conceivable that after being expelled from Echigo for many years, the Great Bear Ashide, returned to Echigo, whether there was a return to the hometown group and the spirit of Hu Hansan would be radiant for a day

But in any case, Daxiong Chaoxiu is absolutely sincerely grateful to Takeda Xinfan and Li Xiao, and his loyalty to the Takeda family is undeniable, otherwise there would be no scene in history where he accompanied Takeda Katsuyori to commit suicide in Tianmu Mountain, and he was a minister of the dead

Takeda Nobushi also knew that Daxiong Chaoxiu had a good relationship with Li Xiao, so agreeing to Li Xiao's recommendation was also regarded as rewarding him before depriving him of an invisible compensation

As for the generals of the Takeda family, who lost their territory at Toe Mikawa, and the countrymen who did not want to be attached to them, they all received fiefs in Echigo

They were also the local generals who would take control of Echigo in the future by the Takeda family

Among these people, such as the lord of Futama Castle, Shinano, who was born in the wealthy clan of Shinano, the lord of Ita Genbo, Suwahara Castle, the lord of Imafujo Kansai, the lord of Tanaka Castle, Tsuneshin Ban, the keeper of Tenjin Castle, Okabe Motoshin (this person is also the father-in-law of Tsuchiya Masatsune, the general under Li Xiao), and the lord of Inui Castle, Amano Keiji

The wealthy clans of Shangyue and Zhongyue were almost slaughtered by Takeda Shinfan and Li Xiao, and these people led the samurai under their command to take control of the place, and it should not be difficult for Echigo to control the place

After the arrangements were made, Takeda Nobuhiro and Li Xiao each led their troops back to their local areas to end the Uesugi expedition

Li Xiao led the army back to Echigo, and at the same time, he was also thinking about Takeda Shinshi's various arrangements and his own interests

To tell the truth, in recent years, Takeda Nobushiro has been in charge of the main family, and in all aspects, he has the strong support of Takeda Nobuyo, Takeda Nobutoyo, Mochizuki Shinnaga, and among the foreign generals, there is Takasaka Masanobu, Baba Nobubo Dingli

After seeing his authority in the family, if Li Xiao, Sanada Masayuki and Masayuki were subtracted, he would be even better than Takeda Katsuyori's control of his family

Recently, Takeda Nobuyoshi's grasp of power has also revealed a more arbitrary atmosphere, such as the resumption of the Togae Mikawa wealthy clan's territory to the Tokugawa family, but he and the two of them discussed and decided to completely bypass the comments of the Lian Juzhong and the Takeda family's retainers

This decision caused a great backlash among the retainers of the family

A very important reason is that Takeda Nobuyoshi abandoned the retainers' review system during the reign of Takeda Nobuyogen and made his own decisions

However, in order to destroy the secrecy of the Uesugi family in Echigo, Takeda Nobuyoshige's move is also understandable

However, this time he went to Echigo, and the great victory destroyed the Uesugi family's martial power, and raised the prestige of Takeda Nobuyoshi in one fell swoop, not only eliminating the previous adverse effects, but also making his position at home more stable

In this way, it is still secondary, and Li Xiao is really worried about Takeda Shinfan, who is now good at dictating power, is it the Chaoyue master who recited Buddha without quarrel with the world when Takeda was victorious

Power is the most violent poison in the world that erodes people's hearts, and Takeda Nobuyo, who has tasted power for a long time, will he be willing to let go of power and hand over all the power in his hands when Takeda Nobukatsu really governs the Takeda family, Li Xiao also has doubts in his heart at this moment...,

It's easy to get, but it's hard to discard

Thinking of the decisive momentum and resolute attitude of Takeda Shinfan on the spring mountain castle, where could it be the Chaoyue master of Huilin Temple who was rescued by Li Xiao in Kawanakajima

This is clearly a hero like his brother Takeda Shingen

Li Xiao thought that the credit for this expedition to Echigo was still secondary, after all, he was not without gains, at least he eliminated the Uesugi family, and in the future, he could avoid the unfavorable situation of multi-front warfare, and he could open up the situation in, attack Echigo, and realize the mastery of the entire Hokuriku Province

This is Li Xiao's biggest gain from this expedition to Echigo, otherwise he would not have made every effort to have a decisive battle with Uesugi Kenshin in the Kurobe River, and the acquisition of tens of thousands of stone territory is still secondary, after all, in terms of Li Xiao's current land of millions of stones, increasing the height of tens of thousands of stones cannot improve much strength, and there are still 790,000 stones waiting for him in Echizen

What Li Xiao is really worried about at this moment is what will happen if Takeda Nobu loves the position of power and does not give up the power and does not return the power

Everyone is selfish, and Takeda Nobuyoshi will think in his heart that his eldest son, Takeda Nobutoshi, may also have this idea

Takeda Shintoyo, as the lord of Kojujo City, can be satisfied, and at this moment, who doesn't want to take a step closer

If in the future, Takeda Nobushigeru defeated Hojo and took advantage of the situation to succeed in Kamiraku, then the Takeda family would be the first in the world to replace the Muromachi Shogunate and open it as the Takeda Shogunate

And at that time, Takeda Nobuyoshi, who had laid everything down by himself, would be willing to hand over the hegemony of his several years of hard work to Takeda Shinkatsu

Anyone will be unwilling, this is absolutely certain, and when his son is still alive, he will give up the country to people Takeda Shinshihiro

Li Xiao is the minister of Takeda Katsuyori, it can be said that without Takeda Shinxuan, Takeda Katsuyori would not have Li Xiaozhi today

If Takeda Nobuhiro does not return the throne to Takeda Nobukatsu at that time, Li Xiao's decision will be certain

Thinking of this, Li Xiao immediately dismounted and shouted to Shigang Yiyu: Immediately take the paper and grind the ink, I want to write a letter

For Li Xiao's sudden move on the way to the army, it didn't make much sense for Shigang Yiyu to prepare for Li Xiao at the moment

Li Xiao put the letter in one side and back

After writing the letter, Li Xiao wrote his own flower charge, and immediately sealed the credit fire paint and said to Shigang Yiyu: Immediately use secret means to send these two letters to the hands of Sanada Anfang in the Gongfang Palace, and never let others know (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation)
