Chapter 182: The General's Persistence
Kiso Yoshimasa raised his knife and looked at Li Xiao angrily.
Li Xiao laughed secretly, this kid is not self-sufficient, to say that compared to scolding, he has been in the starting point book review area, Baidu Tieba, and campus debate club for many years, and has experienced countless scolding battles, and has experienced no less than 100 scolding and scolding battles.
I didn't learn the debate of the Eight Classics, but I learned the skills of crooked buildings, scolding, and complaining.
You, the straw bales of the Kiso family, at this level, also come to debate with me, purely looking for death.
Li Xiao remembered the tenth year of Tensho in history, that is, the year of the collapse of the Takeda family, it was this His Royal Highness Kiso who took the lead in the Kiso Valley, betrayed the Takeda family, surrendered the Oda family, and caused the door of the Takeda family's Shinano defense to open.
After the betrayal, he bit back at the Takeda family, and as a precursor, led the Oda army from the Nakasendo to attack Shinano, which eventually led to the destruction of the Takeda family.
For this anti-bone boy who ruined the Takeda family, Li Xiao can be said to have a little favor and a debt of gratitude, since he wants to fight Li Xiao alone, Li Xiao is happy to teach him how to write dead characters.
Seeing that Kiso Yoshimasa was about to draw his knife and slash at Li Xiao.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Changjing in Shan County broke out, and a loud voice was angry, like a thunderstorm in the middle of the day.
Kiso Yoshimasa had never seen such a big fire in Yamachigan Changjing, and he had always ignored the other party before, thinking that he was a good-tempered person, so he didn't care too much about his identity as the general general.
Now that Yamayama Changjing was finally angry, Kiso Yoshimasa shuddered in his heart, he didn't expect that the majestic momentum of one person could reach this point.
In the military tent, the chaotic situation was also interrupted by the angry shouts of Changjing in Shanxian County, and everyone quarreled with each other for a long time before they remembered that he was the general of the Takeda Army.
Facing the frosty gaze of Changjing in Shanxian County, everyone felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet for a while.
Shan Shan Changjing said in a deep voice: "You are all the famous generals of my Takeda family, and if you lose the battle for a while, you will not have the cultivation that a samurai should have, and the bearing of a general. So what qualifications do you have to command the forces under your command? ”
As soon as Changjing drank the majesty of Changjing in Shanxian County, the generals immediately expressed their shame and apologized on the spot for their misdemeanor, and even Li Xiao and Kiso Yoshimasa also quarreled just now and apologized to Changjing in Shanxian County.
Now the generals returned to their respective positions, and the atmosphere was not out, silent, listening to the instructions of Changjing of Shanxian County.
Li Xiao secretly admired the timing of Changjing in Shanxian County, and Changjing in Shanxian County was not qualified before, so the generals under his command were all opinionated, and they didn't take him too seriously.
Therefore, Changjing in Shanxi County has always been in forbearance, and now under the defeat of the army, the people's hearts are scattered, and everyone is out of honor first, Changjing of Shanxi County came out to reprimand at this time, which can be said to be justified, and at this moment the prestige of the general was erected.
is worthy of being one of the four ministers of Takeda, and he cannot be underestimated at all.
As a result, in front of Changjing in Shanxian County, the generals suddenly became prostrate.
The military council finally settled down.
The generals began not to shirk their responsibilities, and seriously discussed the decisive battle of the sister road army again.
At this time, a samurai in the tent came to report, and the sister Xiaolu family and the Uchijima family sent envoys to negotiate peace at the same time.
Hearing this news, all the generals looked at each other, what is going on, Sister Xiaolu's family has just won a big victory, why do you want to come to sue for peace.
The conditions for the peace negotiated by the sister Xiaolu family remained unchanged from yesterday, and at the same time, the Uchijima family also proposed to cede a piece of temple territory as a condition for peace.
At this time, not only Shan County Changjing's face was a little ugly, but even Li Xiao secretly shook his head, Sister Xiaolu Lianglai's move was too vicious.
If it was when the Takeda family had not yet suffered defeat in the war, the peace of the sister Xiaolu family could be considered and accepted from the perspective of Yama County Changjing. And the purpose of the Takeda family's dispatch of troops to Hida this time is also to let the sister Koji family and the Uchijima family subdue the Takeda family.
But now the situation is different, especially the Takeda family's Hida expeditionary army, after such a defeat, the sister Koji family came to sue for peace again.
What is this, a slap in the face, and then a piece of candy.
Li Xiao understands this, but he also knows that after today's defeat, some of the generals present now have lost confidence in defeating the Hida coalition led by Sister Xiaolu's family.
From the bottom of their hearts, they were inclined to accept the conditions of peace.
What's more, Kiso Yoshimasa, who was originally active in the main battle, is now silent, and nearly half of his Kiso casualties are dead, and the decisive battle can only be used as a preparation.
At the same time, Ichichi Shinryu, who was in charge of the family's diplomatic affairs with Honganji, also said, "The envoys who came to sue for peace with the Uchijima family this time, as well as the officials of Honganji, also have the intention that we should stop fighting as soon as possible and achieve peace in Hida Province, so that the people will not be implicated in the war." ”
The Uchijima family and the Honganji family are allies, so it is only natural for the Uchijima family to ask the Honganji family to come out and talk to the Takeda family.
Honganji has a good relationship with the Takeda family, and if it sends troops to Echichu, it will definitely need Honganji to launch a single effort to help the Takeda army to flank Echigo.
In this way, the balance in the hearts of the generals has shifted a little more to the end of the inclined peace.
Li Xiaozhen is also thinking about whether to continue the war or not.
From Li Xiao's selfish point of view, the result of this battle, if the Takeda family does not win, and the sister Xiaolu family does not win, the two sides will fight and draw is the best result.
Because if the Takeda family is not victorious, then the power of the Kiso family will not be able to penetrate the Hida country, so that in this one-third of the acre of land in the Hida country, he will slowly plan in the future and will inevitably be able to embezzle all of them.
And if the sister Lu family is not victorious, this result will make the sister Xiao Lu family even more angry. Because this time the sister Xiaolu family poured out of the nest and mobilized all the peasants and soldiers in the territory to fight, the more the war dragged on, the more the production in the territory was delayed, and the more unfavorable it was to the sister Xiaolu family.
In this way, the strength of the Sister Xiaolu family will definitely be greatly damaged, and within this year, it will not be able to launch a conquest against other forces.
In this way, Li Xiao will have no worries within this year and achieve the goal of entering Vietnam and China.
Therefore, it seems that the result of the peace negotiation is the best for Li Xiao, but the problem now is that in today's sister, Xiaolu Lianglai actually won more with less, and defeated the Takeda army with a disadvantage in troops.
This battle made the self-confidence of the Hida people suddenly burst, and from then on they thought that the Takeda family was nothing more than that, so in the future, how could they put the Takeda family in their eyes, and the Takeda army, which was known as the strongest army in the Warring States, was just a joke.
"So we must not agree to the terms of peace!"
Yama Yama Changjing said categorically that this was from the perspective of the general and considered the position of the Takeda family, so he absolutely could not seek peace.
When the generals heard that Changjing in Shan County was actually tough on the main battle, they all looked embarrassed for a while.
I only listened to Changjing of Shan County to continue.
"We must not allow a second Oda family to appear next to my Takeda family, Sister Koji Ryorai's immediate peace is just a delaying strategy, after today's battle, Sister Koji family and the Hida clan, after recovering their vitality, the Takeda family will face a more terrifying enemy."
Yamaguchi Masakai's account is a metaphor for the Oda family after the Battle of Sasama.
After the Battle of Sasama, although the Oda family did not improve in strength on the surface, Oda Nobunaga established absolute prestige from top to bottom, which also ignited the ambition of the Oda family retainers to seize the world.
Giving confidence to others with one's own failures is definitely not the work of the Takeda family.
Under Sakurato Castle.
It's cold at night in the mountains, especially in the highlands of Hida.
Sister Koji Yoyori was wearing a thick coat, looking at the military tent of the Takeda family in the bright lights opposite, and a smile appeared on his lips at this moment.
He now said that he led the Sister Koji family to complete an impossible reversal, defeating the army of the Takeda family in the first battle, which completely boosted the morale of the Sister Koji family and the people of Hida Country.
It was a big victory he had never had in his life.
However, after the war, he was not carried away by the victory, and got carried away.
After inspecting the heads and rewarding the generals, he sent a letter to the Takeda family again to negotiate peace and ask for surrender, which was incomprehensible to many of the wealthy families of Hida Country.
But Sister Xiaolu Lianglai knew deep that his decision was the right one.
The Takeda family is as strong as a tiger, and the Hida country is nothing more than a rabbit in the eyes of Takeda Shingen.
If he used the power of the small country of Hida to shake the Takeda family, the only way was to be defeated, and now he took advantage of various situations to arouse the trust of the whole army to fight to the death, which transformed the situation in the direction that was most favorable to the sister Koji family.
He was convinced that if he succeeded in seeking peace, he would be given the strength of two or three more years, and he would be able to take advantage of this great victory in leading his countrymen against the foreign invasion of the Takeda family, and more advantageously consolidate his position as Hida.
At that time, even if he subdues the Takeda family, he can still maintain his influence in the Hida country, if the Takeda family changes, his sister Koji Yoshiyori can take advantage of the situation to make a comeback, and use the status of his sister Koji family Hida Kuniji to unify the forces up and down the Hida in one fell swoop, and then defeat the Eima family, and completely drive the forces of the Takeda family in Kamioka Castle out of the Hida country.
In this way, he handed over a strong sister Xiaolu family business to his son sister Xiaolu Laigang, and he could rest assured.
Thinking of this, a person who approached the inside reported.
"My lord, Lord Takahara, who sent the envoy to the Takeda family, has returned."
Sister Xiaolu Lianglai showed a smile on his face, and said, "Very good, let him come to the military tent, and at the same time, Lord Uchijima can also come over." ”
Sister Koji Ryoyori was full of ambition, and he believed that after the Takeda family saw the strong resistance of the Hida people, they should have fully understood the bravery of the Hida people, so the peace conditions should be passed without a doubt.
However, the results were far from his expectations.
In the military tent, Sister Xiaolu is good, and the Uchijima clan is surprised.
When I heard that the envoy to the Takeda family, Lord Takahara, said that the general of the Takeda family, Yamaprefecture Masakatsu, actually directly tore up the document with the terms of peace that he sent and threw it underground.
Uchijima was furious on the spot, but his sister Koji Yoshiyori felt a chill at all.
He looked out of the tent and wondered if the Takeda Army had recovered from yesterday's fiasco overnight.
Changjing of this county county thought that he was who, and he really dared to fight to the death with his sister Xiaolu's family under this cherry cave city.
The next day, the regrouped army of the Takeda family came to Sakura Cave Castle again.
The mountain wind blew by, blowing the Takeda family's ashigaru flag and the seal of Takeda Ling painted behind the hat, and it sounded loudly.
The spears lined up like a forest on the hillside, and the light reflected above the head on the ashgaru hat, printing a white and bright yellow, making it impossible to open your eyes.
The cavalry with a centipede on their backs kept running at both ends of the formation, and one after another military orders were conveyed, and the ashigaru who was constantly back up entered the designated position, and the clanging sound of armor colliding came and went.
Yesterday, although the Takeda Army suffered a new defeat, it was only overnight, and after regrouping, the army was still prosperous, showing the true character of the strongest army in the Warring States.
On the slope of the hill in front of Sakura Cave Castle, Yama Shan Changjing held a military equip on a high horse, with a dazzling look of Ben Xiao Sewei Zhu Se on his feet, wearing a spade on his head and standing in front of him with a red ghost mask, looking from a distance like a Shura from hell.
Li Xiao looked at the domineering and exposed decoration of Shan County Changjing, and a sense of shock came out from the bottom of his heart, this is the leading general of the Takeda family's famous Red Reserve Army, Shan County San Lang Bing Wei Changjing.
Shan County Changjing, who was wearing a ghost face, turned his head, and there were dark eyes under the mask that were slowly turning, and his gaze swept in front of the generals.
Shan County Changjing said in a deep voice: "Everyone, today's war is related to the martial arts fortune of my Takeda family, please don't live up to the lord's expectations of you, please act according to the arrangements of yesterday's military meeting!" ”
With a wave of his hand, the generals agreed, and then the generals whipped their horses and rode back to their respective armies.
The next day, the battle of Sakura Cave City, which decided the victory or defeat of the two families, finally broke out.
