Chapter 351: Strategic Direction

"Forced peace by war."

"Defeat the Hojo family in three months."

As soon as Li Xiao's point of view was raised, there was silence in the hall for a while, and no one squeaked.

At this time, Naito Masato, the commander of the Nishiueno Army, who was under Li Xiao, said: "It is not easy to defeat the Hojo family in three months, Hojo Shiyasu is the hero of the world, how can he easily claim to be defeated." ”

Li Xiao smiled slightly, and said: "Lord Naito, I don't know, I spent a lot of money in Odawara and got a secret report, Hojo Shiyasu is seriously ill and it is difficult to get out of bed, so there is no need to worry too much about it now." ”

Hearing Li Xiao say this, Naito Changfeng asked in a loud voice, "Is this news accurate?" ”

Li Xiao nodded and said, "It's really wrong." ”

Hearing this, Naito Masatoyo nodded and stopped talking.

At this time, among the judges, Sanada Nobutsuna, the last of the Sanada family, spoke: "If the Hojo clan Yasu is not in the Hojo army, then the rest of the Hojo family's generals can not be put in our eyes. ”

Sanada Renzuna said this, which shows the Sanada family's attitude of supporting Li Xiao, which is also the tacit understanding reached between Li Xiao and Sanada Masayuki at the beginning.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, and said: "Sanada-sama, even if the clan Yasugong is not there, the Hojo family also has a brave general like Jihuang Hachiman, and we can't ignore it yet, and we plan to win." ”

Seeing Li Xiao's private words, Sanada Nobutsuna smiled slightly, that is, he did not speak.

At this time, Takeda Nobuyoru smiled and said, "I remember when I went out to Musashi Matsuyama Castle, but after Lord Mamori competed with Hojo Tsunada. The other party has been practicing his spear skills hard, and he wants to fight again with Tajima Mamoru Lord, and this time you have not met in the battle of the three increased stacks, and it is said that he has always regretted it. ”

Li Xiao laughed when he heard this, and said: "Dihuang Hachiman's spear skills are as fierce as his combat methods, even if I don't have the certainty of resisting:"

This is not Li Xiao's modesty, in the Battle of Sanzengqi, most of the losses of the Takeda Army were caused by the fierce attack of the Shoji Hachiman Bei, and even the commander of the Nishi Ueno Army, Asarishi Nobukazu, was killed:

Hojo Tsunari's combat power can be seen to be terrifying, and he doesn't want to elevate himself and be subjected to others. True.

After Takeda Nobuyoshi's laughing talk, the atmosphere of the meeting relaxed slightly in the main hall.

At this time, Takeda's face Lai also said loudly: "Father, I also think that Li Xiao's suggestion can be implemented. ”

As the future governor of the family, Takeda Jilai is now supporting Li Xiao, which suddenly changed the overall situation of the meeting.

And Shanxian County, the group of Jiafei retainers in the racecourse, did not express their support or opposition.

At this time, Takeda Shingen shook the folding fan lightly and said: "Li Xiao, what you said to defeat the Hojo family in three months is good, do you have a plan for the overall situation?" ”

Li Xiao sighed and said: "Back to the lord, to defeat the Hojo family within three months, only Kai, Minami Shinano's army, is not enough." I suggest that we take advantage of this brief opportunity to make peace with Uesugi and transfer troops from Kita-Shinano, Echichu, and Nishi-Umino to cooperate with the Suruga Army of Lord Iyama Prefecture, and put on a posture of fighting the Hojo family with the strength of the country. ”

Hearing this, Takeda Shingen's eyes sank, and he said, "You mean to mobilize the power of the country!" If you transfer troops from Feihui Yuezhong, if the Uesugi family comes to attack Yuezhong, what will you use to resist? ”

Li Xiao lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty still has a fortified city like Toyama Castle in Vietnam that can be defended, and it is still okay to support a few dings and months, but you can't go all out to make the war between your family and the Hojo family protracted, so it is the harm of both sides." ”

"His Majesty guessed that Shi Kang, the clan government may not want to make peace, but he was forced by the retainers of the main war faction in the family, so he had to fight. Therefore, if our army is strong and wins several victories, then the Kang Gong will have reason to persuade his retainers to reopen the alliance:"

"You need to know that the clan is the son-in-law of the lord, and now that the occupation of Suruga by the family has become a fact, what reason does the Hojo family have to restore the family for the powerless and powerless family?"

After hearing this, Takeda Shingen thought for a moment and asked, "Then after the Hojo peace negotiation, how else do you think about it?" ”

Takeda Shingen's words, old and serious, as a strategic implementation, must be step by step, everything must be for the implementation of the whole and the big goal to serve.

Li Xiaoyan said: "The reconciliation with the Hojo family is, of course, for the premise of Shangluo. At present, the Oda family is rapidly rising in the west, and in Kyoto, in the name of holding the Gongfang Palace, commanding the daimyo of the four directions, its power is expanding day by day, and in addition to the ability Mino and Owari, the five countries of, Ise, Shima, and Minami Omi are also under the control of the Oda family. And the enemies they face are not like Uesugi and Hojo's strong opponents. Speaking from the heart, the power of the Oda family's eye calculation is already above the main family. ”,

At this time, Li Xiao added: "I heard that in the first month of this year, in the name of the Son of Heaven, the Oda family asked the Daimyo of the Quartet to go to Kyoto to meet him, and the Duchaokura family did not obey, this Nobunaga's personality will inevitably raise an army to attack him." Now the Asakura family is the only force near that can fight the Oda family, and if Asakura is defeated, then Nobunaga can complete control of the situation around Kyoto, and at that time it will either be a San'in Sanyodo raider, or he will go to Kanto. ”

In fact, Li Xiao deliberately put the result seriously, indeed in the thirteenth year of Yonglu (the first year of the Yuan turtle that is about to be changed), the situation of the Oda family is not very good, but extremely bad, Nobunaga crusaded against the Asakura family, and the result is that the alliance Asai family turned against the water, and finally the Oda family was defeated in Kanazaki first, and then defeated Gu,.

After that, the monk of Honganji, the three of Miyoshi all beat the water dogs, and Hiroshi became Nobunaga's embarrassment for the first time Oda siege situation.

However, in the history of this siege network, the Takeda family did not have a good time, and in the east and north and Hojo, the Uesugi family was dead, resulting in the missed opportunity of Kamiraku.

What Li Xiao can do now is to expand the chances of Takeda Shingen against the Oda family during the second Nobunaga siege network in history.

Li Xiao's performance of the strength of the Oda family was deeply recognized by the retainers of the Takeda family here, and it is true that they are not traversers, and they don't know that Nobunaga's actual life this year is not easy.

But at the moment, the Oda family is indeed rising at a very rapid pace, and even the samurai who are the most blindly optimistic about the situation in the main family admit that the current power of the Oda family is one or two points better than that of the Takeda family.

"So, what does Lord Omamoru mean is that after making peace with the Hojo family, the family immediately tore up the alliance with the Oda family to carry out the Shangluo move?" It was the Baba Nobubo who spoke out, and he was very clear about the details of the Oda family, so he agreed with Li Xiao's analysis of the strength of the Oda family.

Li Xiao smiled bitterly, of course it would be best if it could be like this, but the situation did not allow it.

Li Xiao shook his head and said: "That's not the case, Lord Baba, my opinion is that after making peace with the Hojo family, the family will restart the previous grand strategy of attacking the Uesugi family, and implement the strategic plan of attacking Echigo from Echichu, Kita-Shinano, and Nishi-Uesugi to the Uesugi family." ”

Li Xiaoqiao's opinion is to start a war with the Uesugi family.

Li Xiao added: "At present, we have captured Suruga, half of the country, if we rashly attack to the west, there is virtue, and the family will not be able to threaten the Oda family for a while, and we will have to bear the infamy of abandoning the alliance, and at the same time, Uesugi Terutora may also take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

In this way, the village went from facing the two sides of the Hojo and Uesugi families to a passive situation of fighting with Oda, Tokugawa, and Uesugi at the same time. This is not allowed by the situation. ”

After a pause, Li Xiao continued: "So my opinion is that after making peace with the Hojo family, we will attack Echigo with all our might, suppress and attack the Uesugi family, even if we can't destroy the Uesugi family, we must weaken its strength." In this way, when the time goes to Luo in the future, the Uesugi family will not become the biggest threat to the family. ”

Li Xiao also had some plans to kill people with a knife after thinking about it. This text is provided by Qihang Dagger Qishen

It is by promoting the plan of these three-sided strategies to alleviate the risk of his own Vietnamese-Central independence this year against the Uesugi family's Vietnamese-Central Crusade Army.

With Li Xiao's current power, if he wants to face Uesugi Kenshin independently, there is basically no chance of winning, and he can only drag the Takeda family into the water.

At that time, if the strategy of the Takeda family to attack Echigo in three ways can be implemented, then Uesugi Kenshin himself will not be able to guarantee that Li Xiao can take the opportunity to enter Echichu at that time, and first annex the new and gunnish of the Shiina family and expand his strength under his own banner.

This is Li Xiao's wishful thinking.

Takeda Shingen immediately turned his head to look at Yama County Changjing, who was on the left and right, and Takeda Shin Lian said: "Yamabi, Shin Lian, what do you think?" ”

As the head of the family, the right to speak in Changjing, Yama County, is very important. And Takeda Nobuyo, as a public writer, has an extraordinary influence at home.

Yama Yama Masakai thought for a while, and said: "But Lord Mamori's argument is a risky move, first of all, whether the family can fight the Hojo family, even if it is defeated, how much the Hojo family is sure of peace, I don't know, at the moment, Lord Danma Mamoru will all Hojo Shiyasu's illness, as well as Hojo Shiyasu, the family's inner intention to discuss and as an argument for inference, it is too much speculation. ”

The words of Changjing in Shan County made Li Xiao frown, but he also lacked evidence, because he inferred these two things based on historical facts.

"However", Yama Yama Changjing changed his words and said: "If the plan of Lord Tajima Mamori can be realized, then the family can quickly withdraw from the eastern battlefield and turn to Kamira, or the strategy of the Uesugi family." Then right

The implementation of this strategy is very favorable. Anyway, even if we fail, we can't make peace with the Hojo family in the three dings and within the month, and we don't have any risks, at most, from a quick battle to a protracted war. In terms of the big picture, in just a few years

Within, the family, the Hojo family, and the Hojo family can't help the family, which is known to both families, and the so-called conquest is purely just a will. ”

With the support of Yama Prefecture Masakai, Takeda Nobuyoru, who has always been a peacemaker, also said: "Your Majesty has no opinion, everything is up to the will of the lord." But if you can teach the Hojo family a lesson and get out of it, you can try. ”

With the support of Yama County Changjing and Takeda Nobuyoshi, the matter is a matter of the overall situation.

Takeda Shingen said: "In this way, according to Tajima Mamoru's theory, within three months, Hojo will be defeated." However, the flying mule and the North Shinano army do not need to send troops to support. ”

Hearing Takeda Shinxuan's words, Li Xiao and Gao Changxin were both stunned.

Takeda Shingen waved his hand and said, "You two should be careful to watch out for Uesugi Teruto, the Hojo family, I don't care about it yet." ”

Seeing Takeda Shingen's decision, all the retainers bowed down to express their obedience to the decision.

After everyone got up, many people looked at Li Xiao, and this decision that affected the family's grand strategy was actually pushed by him and passed with one hand
