Chapter 405: Overstretched
Li Xiao told Tsuchiya Changheng again.
Tsuchiya Masahiro immediately set off, and rode a fast horse overnight and rushed to Naoki Castle, now that the Oda army has been mobilized near Gifu, it will be killed under Kajida Castle in a few days, so the time to fight for reinforcements is fast and one day, which is urgent for Li Xiao and his legion.
In the night, the lights of Kajida Castle were bright, and Li Xiao sent a general request to the nearby villagers through Oshima Mitsuyoshi, asking them to come to Kajida Castle overnight to repair the city.
Because it was a cold winter, and because the Takeda army was still under the rule of Mino and the people's hearts were not attached, there were only three or four hundred followers, and the progress of repairing the city wall was really not optimistic.
Fortunately, Li Xiao gave the people of the city the treatment of repairing three points of rice per person, so even if they rushed to work overnight, they didn't have too many complaints.
However, this hastily repaired Kajida Castle has a few percent of its defensive power under the siege of the Oda army, and Li Xiao doesn't know it.
After Li Xiao watched Tsuchiya Changheng go out of the city with a dozen horsemen overnight in the castle tower, he turned around and walked into the room.
In fact, for Li Xiao, Akiyama Nobuyo's coming to help Kaji Tiancheng was not Li Xiao's only backhand.
According to Li Xiao's intelligence analysis, the guess was that the combined forces of Takeda and Tokugawa Oda were about to hold a battle in Mikatahara.
If Takeda Shingen would be able to defeat the Toku-Ori coalition as the trend in history continues, then there is no doubt that Nobunaga's foundation in Owari will be shaken, and even if he sends troops to besiege Kajida Castle, he will have to retreat and return to the army in Owari to resist Shingen's invasion of the Oda family's roots.
But history is not immutable, if Li Xiao's butterfly effect caused the tripartahara to not break out, and even Tokugawa Ieyasu did not have a fiasco, then Li Xiao was alone in Kajida Castle, which is a very stupid act.
In order to appease the generals, Li Xiao could not say like a half-immortal that Xinxuan would defeat the Deweaving coalition army in Sanfangyuan, and the situation would be very good.
It is unwise to put your hopes in someone else at any time.
Therefore, on the premise of deducting the original battle of the three parties, Li Xiao must make his own moves.
The Akiyama Nobuyomi Minami Shinano Army, which is now close at hand, is Li Xiao's only choice now, asking for help from Akiyama, and at the same time, it is also a stone throwing for Li Xiao to ask for directions to the Kai generals led by Akiyama.
Look at what they think of me Li Xiao.
However, judging from the conclusions so far, Akiyama does not have a good impression of Li Xiao himself.
Li Xiao is not from Takeda's origin, nor is he from Kai, and he is at best an outsider in the Takeda family.
This situation has improved since Li Zheng married Xinxuan's daughter, but in the eyes of the generals of the Takeda family, it is still regarded as a political marriage, and it is not enough to regard Li Xiao as his own.
Speaking from the heart, whether it is the four ministers of Takeda such as Yama County and Baba, or Akiyama Nobuyo, Li Xiao does not think that the other party is a villain, on the contrary, they all have the character that a samurai should have in this era.
His loyalty to his lord, his devotion to his family, and his own ethics were all exemplary samurai.
But the position determines the thinking, the ass determines the head, no matter how hard Li Xiao tries, they will not really identify Li Xiao with their own side.
Unless a few generations later, Li Xiao's children and grandchildren have become close relatives of each other through continuous marriages with Genji Takeda, and this estrangement can be eliminated.
But now, they really can't agree with Li Xiao.
Even including Takeda Shingen, he trusted Li Xiao on the surface, but in fact, Li Xiao knew that the other party was guarding against him.
Even if the Takeda family's skills are added to the current attack on Yuanjiang, they are only 1.2 million stones, and for an outsider, Li Xiao's 400,000 stone Zhixing has reached the accommodation point of the Takeda family's power, which has attracted the attention of all the retainers.
According to this, Li Xiao has only three paths.
One is to start to cultivate obscurity now, no longer establish meritorious deeds, and live by guarding this one-third of an acre of land, so as to alleviate the suspicion of the lord of his family.
This is impossible for Li Xiao, his ambition does not allow it, and the hearts of his retainers will also be scattered.
The second main family, Kamiro, succeeded and unified the 66 countries of Japan. Judging from the pie that Takeda Shingen set out for his retainers before Kamiraku, the forty kingdoms were divided among the other daimyos, the six kingdoms were hidden as the Takeda family, and the remaining twenty kingdoms were given to the retainers of the lineage. …,
Li Xiao wrenched his fingers and calculated, if there is a cake as big as 20 countries for the retainers, he currently has Hida, and Vietnam and China are almost saturated.
At most, Takeda Shingen saw that Li Xiao had worked hard, and then assigned a Noedeng to Li Xiao, plus the 200,000 stones of Nengdeng, and even at this stage of Li Xiao's million stones, there was a big gap.
Now assuming that Takeda Shingen Kamiraku succeeds, in the division of interests in this cake-cutting, there is no doubt that the Kai retainers headed by Yamagu, Baba, and Akiyama will definitely benefit the most.
If they have followed Xinxuan for the longest time, and they are all from the Kai Genji clan, as the mainstay of the Takeda family to support the world in the future, Xinxuan will definitely not be stingy with rewards, in the original knowledge and action, and then the allocation of one country and two countries, Li Xiao in this partition war, the income is too low, which is also what he does not want to see.
In this way, in the future Takeda shogunate, the Takeda family led by Yamagu, Bababa, and Akiyama will definitely be dominant, and Li Xiao will be marginalized and excluded.
This is also what philosophy says, under the premise that the external struggle is dissolved, the trend of the struggle shifts from the outside to the inside.
Third, this is the easiest, Li Xiao turned his head and went out of Oda or Uesugi to choose one of the two.
Whether the rebellion Takeda can succeed will not be discussed first.
This number is not without opportunities for Li Xiao now, but the variables are too great, and the future is extremely uncertain.
Li Xiao always felt that the possibility of the two of them, the military god or the demon king, after using themselves, and then unloading the mill to kill the donkey, was much higher than the tiger Xinxuan.
After Li Xiao thought about his future clearly, he felt that in this battle of Shangluo, if Xin Xuanzhen seized the world, it would not be as he wished, and in the final outcome, he would be able to receive hundreds of thousands of Zhixing and retire early.
But in the days to come, it will be up to others to act, but with Akiyama's current attitude, their future life will definitely not be too easy.
But if Xin Xuan fails to go to Luo this time and dies of illness in the middle of history, what about Li Xiao?
That would have lost a golden opportunity to put Oda Nobunaga to his death.
After Nobunaga became a general trend, he experienced two sieges, which was the most dangerous moment in Nobunaga's life.
During the first siege, the Takeda family was too busy with the battle with Uesugi Hojo to miss the opportunity.
And the second siege network, Takeda, Ishiyama, Nagashima Honganji, Miyoshi, Asai, Asakura, Matsunaga, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki behind the scenes, so many forces joined forces to besiege Nobunaga.
This is simply the power of the whole world, attacking one family.
If Nobunaga even survived this crisis, then it would be like a phoenix nirvana, and it would be difficult for nothing to hinder Nobunaga after that.
There is no such opportunity to take advantage of.
In other words, if you can't take advantage of this opportunity and bring down Nobunaga, then you will be taking your own trouble.
At that time, the situation was reversed, and the Takeda family might have to challenge Nobunaga's army independently.
After weighing it, Li Xiao felt that either path had disadvantages for him, and there was no absolutely safe choice.
But then Li Xiao realized that he was thinking too much, and for the whole world, there are not many things that he can change right and right now.
The current history is far from what Li Xiao knows, although there are changes in the details, but the general trend is also along the historical trajectory, and the main direction is still unchanged.
This is also what Li Xiao is glad about at the moment, although he can't destroy Oda with one blow, but who knows what new variables will be derived after the destruction of Oda.
For him as a traveler, the biggest advantage is his knowledge of history.
Li Xiao's development is so smooth now, to a large extent, relying on his understanding of history, such as playing games and relying on game strategies to clear the customs all the way.
If you want to change history, this is not impossible, but only when you are strong enough to be able to deal with the variables.
If Li Xiao's efforts over the past ten years have made him a leap forward, it will not be too far from the day when he has the strength to choose his own way out in this general trend of the world.
At present, on the question of whether Shingen can go to Luo, whether he wants to succeed or not, he has done his best for the Takeda family.
In Mino, Li Xiao first went down to Yanagi Castle, then annihilated Inaba Ichitetsu, broke the Shibata Army under Kajida Castle, and finally captured Kajida Castle, along the way Li Xiao defeated the Oda family with a total of nearly 10,000 troops. …,
Who dares to say that Li Xiao did not work hard, and contained Nobunaga here, so that he did not dare to lead the army to leave without permission and support the Tokugawa family.
At present, whether Kamiraku succeeds or not mainly depends on whether Shingen's main army can open up the Tokaido before Nobunaga intervenes, and defeat the Oda family in a decisive battle after attacking Owari.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao closed his eyes, all this depends on the favor of Destiny for Xinxuan.
Gifu Castle.
"The lord is finally out of battle!"
With the beating of the taiko drums, the army of the Oda family drove out of the mountain road and converged on the main road.
The entire Inaba Mountain is now covered under the banner of Yongle Tongbao.
Under the horse seal of the golden Tang umbrella, Oda Nobunaga rode his horse in a southern barbarian suit.
Oda Nobunaga's gaze is straight and firm, and in the adversity of being besieged by almost half the world, his momentum is even more compelling.
This rebellious man from Owari, known as a big fool, is often in desperate situations, but can overcome difficulties with indomitable confidence and stronger perseverance.
It's like the phoenix nirvana after stabbing the narrow.
Nobunaga's life trajectory along the way represents a qualitative leap in strength every time he overcomes a difficulty.
One of the horsemen went against the direction of the army that was going down the mountain and went up the mountain and came to Nobunaga.
"Report to the lord, the Takeda army sent troops from the county, and now there are more than 3,000 troops, stationed in Yiliucheng."
After Oda Nobunaga heard this, his expression did not change and said: "Order Ando Hinata Shou, do not break the two of Kawachi, do not need to lead the army to Kajida Castle, go directly to Ichiyanagi Castle, monitor the Takeda army, and do not allow him to approach Kajida Castle." ”
"Wait!" Akechi Mitsuhide said later, "His Royal Highness, Hinata Mamoru's son-in-law Shigeharu Takenaka is now out of Takeda, if it is not necessary, there is no need to let Hinata Mamoru take on this important responsibility." ”
Oda Nobunaga's eyes flashed, what Akechi Mitsuhide said was reasonable, among the three of Mino, the one he trusted and appreciated the most was Inaba Ischitetsu.
But at the moment, the Inaba First Iron Team was almost completely wiped out by Li Xiao, and now he could only send Ando Mori.
But Mino has always been rumored that Mamoru Ando is suspected of defecting to Takeda.
Nobunaga frowned, what Akechi Mitsuhide said was also reasonable, but except for Ando Moratori, there were not many people he could trust at this time.
When did the Oda family reach such an embarrassment, several veteran generals Niwa Nagahide, Kinoshita Hideyoshi were in Kita-Omi, and Takigawa Kazuki was in Gifu, but most of his headquarters troops stayed in Ise, and the Ise wealthy clans such as the Kitabatake family defended the direction of Nagashima Honganji.
Sakuma Nobumori and Hayashi Sadahide were sent to Mikawa to support the Tokugawa family.
Mori Nagahide cooperated with Tsutsui Shunkei to carry out the siege of Tawen Mountain Castle and Matsunaga Hide.
Naomasa Tsukasa, Sadakatsu Murai, Tomokan Matsui, and Hidemitsu Shimada cooperate with Katsumasa Ikeda, Fujitaka Hosokawa, and Araki Murashige to monitor Ashikaga Yoshiaki who is about to move, and Miyoshi Ie's counterattack.
As for Shibata Katsuya, Saito Toshiji, and Inaba Ittetsu, Li Xiao's defeated generals, not to mention.
In the end, there are Hidetaka Kawajiri and Oda Nobuhiro, who have just lost to Nobuntomo Akiyama, and the Toyama family of Higashimino who has frequently broken off their family name.
The Oda family, which claimed to have the land of the Ten Kingdoms, did not have a force to take out their hands at this time to intercept Li Xiao's partial army.
"Let's let Ikeda go, and as for Ando, follow the main force to join Kajida Castle." Nobunaga made this decision after thinking about it slightly.
Ikeda did not hesitate, and after bidding farewell to Nobunaga, he received the general's order and led his headquarters to Ichiyanagi Castle.
After Ikeda Tsuneko left, Nobunaga's heart was slightly relieved, and another envoy rode up the mountain on a fast horse.
The other party looked like a dusty man, and his armor and flag were covered with dust.
Nobunaga stepped forward from the side, and immediately crossed his horse and asked loudly, "Why are you so alarmed?" ”
The other party immediately dismounted, knelt down in front of Nobunaga and said, "My lord, it's the battle report of Yuanjiang!" ”
Oda Nobunaga's expression immediately changed when he heard this, and he asked, "Is Mikawaden at war with Shingen?" ”
"Yes, my lord, His Highness Mikawa fought a decisive battle with the Takeda Army in Mikatahara."
Mikatahara at sunset.
The war is a foregone conclusion.
The corpses all over the ground spread all the way in the direction of Hamamatsu Castle.
"The people of Mikawa are really brave!"
The racecourse Nobubo was covered in blood, and before he had time to rest, he accompanied Takeda Shingen to monitor the battlefield and said this.
"Xinchun, didn't our army win?"
Takeda Shingen stopped and looked at the Baba Nobubo.
Baba Nobubo pointed to the corpse of the Tokugawa army under him, and said to Takeda Shingen: "My lord, if you look at the corpses of the Tokugawa army, the heads that fell towards our army were all face down, and the heads that fell towards Hamamatsu were all face up, which shows that these soldiers were all killed when they rushed forward to kill, and none of them were beheaded because they wanted to escape." ”
Takeda Shingen saw this, and everything was exactly as Baba Shinbo said.
Takeda Shingen also nodded, and said: "It seems that Sanhe Xiao'er is immortal, and he will be the fierce rival of my Takeda family in the future!" However, this battle was won by our army. ”
"Once Tokugawa is defeated, my Shangluo matter is just around the corner."
Shingen Takeda said this confidently.
ps: There is also a third encirclement of the net, but I personally feel that the time when the Uesugi family sent troops, it was not enough to shake Oda, even if Kenshin is the god of war, but the difference between the forces of the two sides is too great. The battle of the Tetori River does not explain the problem at all.
At that time, the power of the Oda family had become great, and a single legion was enough to destroy a daimyo unilaterally, which was far inferior to now.
