Yamamoto Kansuke, I said that you are the ancestors, Li Xiao pulled his throat and scolded in the pavilion. However, he can only be purely relieved, anyway, he bullied Kansuke Yamamoto and couldn't understand Chinese.

The reason why Li Xiao was so angry was the ten so-called 'elite' samurai sent to him by Kansuke Yamamoto. Looking at the physical fitness of these ten people, Li Xiao had to admit that Yamamoto Kansuke's ability to fool people was really strong.

Li Xiao was full of malicious guesses, these ten people should be the old, weak, sick and disabled who were eliminated from the audition of the entire Takeda family's samurai. Then Kansuke Yamamoto was embarrassed to give this group of cannon fodder to his own use.

Do you want to borrow a knife to kill someone? Li Xiaoxian guessed like this, his identity as a person, it is estimated that someone in the Takeda family has already suspected it, Xin Xuan, Xin Fan instructed Yamamoto Kansuke to do this, of course, it is also possible that Yamamoto Kansuke thinks so and uses this means to kill himself.

Of course, it's also possible that he's testing where the bottom line of his ability is, and Kansuke Yamamoto is probably waiting for me to beg him later. However, Li Xiao sneered a few times, no matter how Kansuke Yamamoto conceived it, I will never let you achieve your goal.

After a while, the castle tower of Takato Castle.

"Report to Lord Yamamoto, Lord Li Xiao has returned triumphantly with his army."

"What?"

Yamamoto Kansuke stood up in shock, the bandits he sent Li Xiao to exterminate were about a hundred people, and among them, there were more than seventy men who could afford to fight with weapons, and their combat effectiveness was not weak. They also ransacked the village of a local tyrant. What's more, the bandits still have a mountain to hold. He'd sent ninjas to scout there, and the terrain was very treacherous and difficult to defend.

And Li Xiao only took ten people to take it, what kind of ability and strategy is this.

Kansuke Yamamoto realized that he had underestimated this Li Xiao too much, and he had thought like anyone else that the other party was just a brave general, but in the battle of Kawanakajima, the iron cannon killing tactics that turned defeat into victory, and the rescue of Lord Shingen in front of Uesugi Kenshin's single horseman.

This makes Yamamoto Kansuke feel that this person is not simple, is it possible that the people of the Ming Kingdom are as powerful as him?

"But." The samurai who had reported the report said hesitantly.

"But what?"

"But the bandits captured by Lord Li Xiao, none of them laid down their weapons."

Kansuke Yamamoto hurried to the roof of the castle tower and opened the window to look out. Sure enough, under Gaoyuan Town, Li Xiao and his ten samurai subordinates took the lead, followed by bandits who were more than ten times more than ten times their number. Most of these bandits have wooden sticks, swords, and so on in their hands.

This scene is like Li Xiao and his subordinates, but they were held hostage by these bandits. However, looking at Li Xiao and a bandit leader dressed as a person, hooking shoulders and backs, it didn't look like they had been kidnapped at all.

"Lord Yamamoto, do you want to beat the drums and gather the samurai to garrison the castle." The samurai suggested to Kansuke Yamamoto that no matter how you look at this scene, it looks like Li Xiao betrayed the Takeda family and colluded with bandits to sack Takato Castle.

Kansuke Yamamoto pondered for a while, and then spoke: "You have to convene secretly, don't make a big fuss, let the lord of the castle, be ready to meet the enemy, and you must protect his safety, understand?" ”

"Hey, but what about you, Yamamoto-sama?" The samurai immediately agreed.

Yamamoto Kansuke snorted heavily and said, "I'll go down in person and see what this Li Xiao is doing?" ”

When the big gate of Takato Castle opened, Kansuke Yamamoto rode on his horse and rode alone to the earthen bridge, calmly facing Li Xiao who was walking here and the group of bandits behind him.

After Li Xiao saw Yamamoto Kansuke, he showed a pleasant smile, and then shouted loudly to the bandit behind him: "This is the famous man of the family, and his reputation is mighty Echigo, Mikawa, Mino, and Lord Yamamoto Kansuke, who is the number one in the Takeda family. ”

The bandits behind Li Xiao replied abruptly, "Meet Lord Yamamoto." ”

Kansuke Yamamoto breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this group of bandits didn't look like they were here to be embarrassed, but it wasn't clear how Li Xiao got them together.

Li Xiao rode his horse to the earthen bridge, and after making sure that the bandits behind him could not hear his conversation with Yamamoto Kansuke, he said, "Lord Yamamoto, this group of bandits, I will ask you in the future." ”

"What do you mean?"

Li Xiao laughed and said directly: "I have incorporated this group of bandits into the samurai of our Takeda family. ”

"Samurai?" Kansuke Yamamoto was taken aback, stretched out his hand to the group of bandits, and said, "All of these more than 100 bandits have been accepted as samurai by you?" ”

"Of course, it's not all, you see there are many old people and women who are not, they can't become samurai."

"No kidding." Kansuke Yamamoto said sharply.

His heavy drink made the bandit gang who were already making noise and laughing quieted down for a moment, and looked at Yamamoto Kansuke and Li Xiao on the earthen bridge in front of the city gate.

Li Xiao turned around and signaled to them that everything was fine, and then walked into Yamamoto Kansuke, and said, "Lord Yamamoto, you see that the other party has entered the town, and you don't like to make too much trouble, right?" In case they are annoyed, the bandits rise up and set fires, demolish houses, and forcibly annihilate women. ”

Yamamoto Kansuke said, "Li Xiao, are you threatening me?" ”

"Don't dare, Yamamoto-sama."

"I asked you to exterminate this gang of bandits, not for you to adopt them as samurai."

"That's right," Li Xiao said with a very innocent expression: "Lord Yamamoto, you just let me exterminate the bandits, and you didn't say what kind of means to use force, or to surrender." It is not too much to say that I have pacified more than 100 bandits with the strength of ten samurai without damaging the record of one person. Besides, do you really think that with me and ten samurai, you can exterminate this gang of bandits by force? Please, I have been reincarnated by Yoshitsutra from time to time, and Kiso Yoshinaka has been reincarnated. ”

Kansuke Yamamoto held back his anger, stretched out his hand to the gang of bandits and said, "So do you think that with the quality of these people, you can meet the standards of a samurai?" If so, the other samurai of my Takeda clan would be ashamed to be in the company of this group, and they tarnished the honor of the samurai. ”

"Well."

Li Xiao turned his head and saw this group of bandits, just like some unqualified tour groups in that scenic spot, everything was full of novelty, pointing up and down Gaoyuan City, and almost didn't take a group photo.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Lord Yamamoto, if you don't understand, you can teach it slowly." ”

"There's no need to teach," Kansuke Yamamoto shook his head and said coldly, "I've already ordered the soldiers to set up an ambush, and they can order an attack at any time, and none of these people need to be left behind." ”

Thinking that this would become a killing field in the blink of an eye, Li Xiao just couldn't help sneering and said: "Lord Yamamoto, I don't know if you are all like this, but in our Ming Kingdom, there is a saying that serving as an official will benefit one party." As a retainer of the lord of the city, you naturally have the obligation to take care of the lives of the local people. And weren't these bandits also the people of Shinano in the first place? But because of the compulsion of life, he had no choice but to become a thief. And as the chief retainer, your Excellency did not reflect on his own mistakes in the government, but blindly slaughtered the people, is this the so-called honor of the samurai? ””

Yamamoto Kansuke, when he heard Li Xiao's harsh words, was silent for a while.

Li Xiao saw that the hard words had been said enough, and then said gently: "Isn't it the work of the local government to give the people a livelihood, teach them how to make a living, and live and work in peace and contentment?" I think these bandits don't really want to be a samurai, what they really need is a job, a livelihood to support their families, what they really need is to be able to survive in this chaotic world of cannibalism. ”

"It just so happens that I heard that Gaoyuan City needs to be renovated recently, I think we can hire these bandits to work, as for how to settle them, there will be a way."

After listening to Li Xiao, Kansuke Yamamoto stared at him with one eye, and seemed to get to know Li Xiao again.

Kansuke Yamamoto was silent, and Li Xiao was also in a posture of not moving the enemy, and stared back. The three eyes of the two people got together, anyway, in terms of the number of eyes, Li Xiao was two to one ahead, and Li Xiao did not suffer if he looked at each other.

In the end, Yamamoto Kansuke nodded, looked up at the high castle tower, and made an exception and said with a smile: "Very good, Li Xiaojun, just do as you say." ”
