Outside the military tent, the wind and snow were thick, and Echizen was already frozen.

Li Xiao stood in the military tent, looking at the handwritten letter from Yoshishige Satake and the 'generous gift' he had given.

Seeing this, Li Xiao couldn't help but smile slightly, and said to the envoy of the Satake family in the military tent: "His Royal Highness Ota, you really have a heart. ”

The messenger of the Satake family is a monk.

Li Xiao knew that the other party was Okamoto Zenzhe, a diplomatic monk of the Satake family.

Sitting next to Zenzhe Okamoto were two women with light veils on their heads, standing with their heads down, looking respectful.

This is the generous gift that Yoshishige Satake gave to Li Xiao, Akita Beauty.

In Japan, there has always been a saying that the men of Kyushu and the beauties of Akita.

It is said that the beauty of Akita is the crown of Japan, and it is called the same as Kyoto and Hakata.

Akita is rich in beauties, and what Yoshishige Satake presented to Li Xiao are the two beauties of Akita.

However, the territory of Satake Yoshire's reappearance has not been changed to Akita as in history.

Li Xiao looked at the light veil, the other party's skin was fair, as smooth as ceramic, although he didn't see his face, but he could also know that they were two excellent beauties.

Okamoto Zenzhe lowered his head and said, "Yagata Gong, these two are famous beauties in their country, and they are specially dedicated to Yagata Gong for daily service. ”

Li Xiao nodded and said, "I know, His Royal Highness Ota has a heart." ”

Seeing Li Xiao smiling, a subtle smile appeared on Okamoto Zenzhe's face.

Before coming. When he was in Ota Castle, Satake Yoshishige wiped his sword and said to him, "Major General Konoe is a powerful minister of the Takeda family, and his power is not even inferior to that of the Tsugetsu Gong. Whether the Takeda family can seize the world in the future depends on the two of them, Chaoyue Gong and Major General Konoe. ”

"This family will definitely deal with the Takeda family in the future, you must first get to know me, understand their person first, and know all their preferences. The advantages and disadvantages are so that you can know who you are, and tell me all about them. Knowing oneself and knowing the other side can grasp everything. ”

At that time, Zenzhe Okamoto was full of promises, and as a diplomatic monk of the Satake family, he traveled around the world and met many Kanto daimyos. When the Oda family was in power, he also served as an envoy of the Satake family and went to Gifu Castle to meet Nobunaga as a gesture of goodwill.

At that time, Nobunaga gave Okamoto Zenzhe a kind of shock to the world, and his plan to seize the hegemony of the world was just around the corner.

So outside of returning home. Okamoto Zenzhe persuaded Yoshishige Satake to take the initiative to express goodwill to the Oda family, thinking that he would plan for the future.

After Nobunaga died, the Oda family retreated, and the world rose up. It was Okamoto Zenzhe, as the representative of Satake Yoshishige, who lobbied the major wealthy families in the Kanto region, organized the Utsunomiya, Yuuki, and Satake three alliances, and rose up together against Hojo, who rose in the Kanto region.

Now Takeda destroyed Uesugi. The annexation of Echigo has shown its ambition to revolutionize the world.

The impression that Takeda Nobuyoshi gave him was that he was outwardly lenient and showed kindness and kindness, but on the inside, he was ambitious, wanting to open up territory for his family, and even did not hesitate to dedicate himself to being a hero.

Okamoto thought to himself. Takeda Nobuyoshi is the most prominent figure of the Takeda family after Takeda Shingen, and he is even better than Takeda Katsuyori who defeated the Oda Tokugawa coalition in the Battle of Nagashino.

However, in reply to Satake Yoshishige's report, Okamoto Zenzhe directly said that Takeda Chaoyue, all the power at the moment is temporarily borrowed from the hand of the family governor Takeda Nobukatsu, if one day, when Takeda Nobukatsu really takes the authority of the Takeda family.

There is a lot of power in the Takeda family, and I am afraid that there will be changes, so I can't easily put all my hopes on the Takeda family.

After Satake Yoshishige understood, he didn't say anything directly, but instead sent Okamoto Zenzhe to Hokuriku to meet Li Xiao, the second most powerful person in the Takeda family. …,

As Yoshishige Satake said, Takeda Nobuyoshi and Li Xiao are the most important people in the Takeda family today.

The two of them directly decide whether the Takeda family can seize the world.

However, this time Okamoto Zenzhe's visit, seeing Li Xiao leading the main force of the legion, sitting under the city of Beizhizhuang, he felt quite powerless.

And after meeting, Li Xiao accepted his beauty during the war, and felt that it was better to meet than to be famous.

Just when Okamoto was thinking about it, two ministers in their twenties came in from outside the military tent.

Li Xiao said to Okamoto Zen Zhe: "These two are the general Yamamoto who is prepared by my banner, and one willow is the end. ”

Okamoto Zenzhe looked at the two of them, and secretly said in his heart that Li Xiao's talents were extraordinary.

Li Xiao nodded with his hand, and the two Akita beauties on the side said: "These two are brave generals of the family, the so-called beauty is a hero, and these two Akita beauties will be given to the two of you." ”

Yamamoto surveyed the collection, and Ichiyanagi Naomo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, and immediately looked happy, and said, "Thank you, lord." ”

On the contrary, Okamoto Zenzhe was stunned, and when he saw Li Xiao, he continued: "At the moment, there is a war, and you can't leave your daughter in the camp, but send it back to Oyama for the time being, and then marry after the war." ”

While speaking, Li Xiao had already decided the matter.

Seeing this, Okamoto Zenzhe couldn't help but give Li Xiao a comment of 'not caring for women, being good at accepting people's hearts, and distinguishing between public and private'.

When Okamoto saw Li Xiao, Okamoto turned his head to look at himself, and couldn't help but lower his head.

I only heard Li Xiao say slowly: "The head of your family, the name of Bando Taro, the mighty Kanto, is a first-class brave and warlike figure. At present, the Kanto war situation, the main family and Hojo are on a par. Why did His Highness Ota sit and watch instead? ”

Okamoto Zenzhe said sincerely: "Returning to Yagata Gong, the last time I fought with the Hojo family, the family suffered a heavy setback, and even the castle fell, so I had to subdue the Hojo family, and now I am fighting again, even though the lord has a shameful heart, but the retainers have objections. ”

Li Xiao said with a smile when he heard this: "Master Okamoto, in the land of Changlu Country, there is Date in the north and Hojo in the south, and if you don't rise up to survive, you can only stay and wait to die." ”

"Banto Taro is a far-sighted person, and in the past few years, he has subdued the Takemo clan, the Shirakawa Yuki family, the Iwaki clan, and defeated the Oda clan, and then divided the Ashina family in Uesugi, and the Satake family has today's power. If His Royal Highness Ota lost the battle with Hojo, he lost his determination to forge ahead. Then the king is defeated and defeated, so it only shows that His Royal Highness Ota is not enough to plan. ”

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Okamoto Zenzhe's face immediately turned red, and he said angrily: "Yagata Gong, don't underestimate the lord, he is an ambitious person, after the defeat of the Hojo family, he has been trying to achieve shame, even if the current strength is insufficient, he has to fight with the Hojo family to the last pawn." ”

Hearing this, Li Xiao smiled and said: "Very good, since His Royal Highness Ota has this determination, why is it until now, I still sit and watch." ”

Okamoto Zenzhe looked at Li Xiao's smile, and suddenly felt that Fang Cai seemed to have leaked his hole cards, but now, he had no choice but to bury his head at the moment.

Li Xiaoyan said: "Master Okamoto, if there is anything unspeakable, you might as well say it directly. ”

Zenzhe Okamoto said in a deep voice: "I can't hide it, Yagata Gong, this year Hitachi Province has been hit by a snow disaster......

Li Xiao stopped his hand at this time and said: "Master Okamoto, there is no need to say any more, please reply to His Royal Highness Ota, just say that I have 500 iron cannons here that I don't need, and 100 pieces, which can be handed over to the Satake family." ”

Five hundred iron cannons are worth more than ten thousand.

When Okamoto Zenzhe heard Li Xiao say this, he couldn't help but be grateful, the purpose of this time has been achieved

Seeing this, Okamoto Zenzhe didn't say much, and said directly: "Thank you for the generous gift of Yagata Gong, and the friendship of Your Excellency, I will remember it in my Satake family." ”

Li Xiao nodded slowly, he sent charcoal in the snow, not without purpose. …,

Forming a good relationship with Yoshishige Satake today will naturally help him in the long run.

In the sixth year of Tensho, in the heavy snow in Kanto, no one expected.

Bandong Taro, Satake Yoshishige, who is known as the ghost righteous heavy, rose up at the time of this heavy snowfall.

For Satake Yoshishige's bravery, the Hojo family is very jealous, believing that he is second only to Uesugi Kenshin in Kanto.

The Hojo clan was especially in Sakura Castle, the head of the country, and sent the general Chiba Yinfu to monitor the actions of the Satake family.

Chiba Yinfu is one of the eight houses in the Kanto region, the governor of the Chiba clan, and he is also an old qualification in the Kanto region, when Uesugi Kenshin went out to Odawara and was enthroned as the governor of the Kanto region in Tsuruoka Hachimangu Palace.

As an important daimyo of the wealthy clan of Kanto, he competed with Koyama Takato, the governor of the Koyama family, for the first position, and finally it was arbitrated by Uesugi Kenshin, and Chiba Yintomi was the first daimyo of Kanto.

The Chiba family was anti-Hojo, but after the Hojo clan annexed Satomi.

Chiba Yinfu's attitude has changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he took the initiative to express his obedience to the Hojo family.

Therefore, the Hojo clan was very happy and married his adopted daughter Katsura Yoshiin to Chiba Kuniyin, the second son of Chiba Yinfu, and the two became in-laws.

Hearing the news that Satake Yoshishige was out of battle from Ota Castle, although Chiba Yinfu was seriously ill at the moment and lay down in bed, he still did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent news to Odawara Castle for help, and at the same time ordered Chiba Kunishi to temporarily take the position of the governor of the family, defend Sakura Castle, and beware of Satake Yoshi's attack.

But the Satake army had already prepared, shoveling snow and marching, but it didn't stop for a moment.

Despite his 65-year-old age, the forward general Ota Shimasa personally walked in front of the army and encouraged his soldiers to brave the snow to advance with him.

Ota Zizheng is called Sanrakusai, which is the first-class Ota Daoguan who fought all over the Kanto region.

Ota Shimadama is the most staunch anti-Hojo person in the Kanto region, he was originally a retainer of the Ogiya Uesugi family, and when the river cross-country war was fought that year, the name of the Ogiya Uesugi family was severed, and he was determined to avenge the Lord Gazette.

After that, Hojo was strong all the way, and after the Battle of Kofutai, the Ota family was defeated, and if they continued to resist, they were in danger of destruction.

After Ota Shikinori gave up the governor of the family to his eldest son and subdued the Hojo family, he came to the Satake family and became a retainer, and Satake Yoshishige also appreciated him very much, and made him the lord of Hitachi Katano Castle.

After Ota Shimasa transformed his identity, he continued to fight with the Hojo family to the end.

And among the vanguard army, there is another person who has also attracted the attention of others, this person is the city lord of Zhenbi City, known as the ghost Zhenbi, and the general Zhenbi clan who uses a three-meter-long wooden stick.
