The snow covered the ground, and the bodies left on the ground were buried in the snow so haphazardly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky were falling, and in the blink of an eye, there was a burst of fine and dense snow, falling and falling.

The cold wind blew on their faces, and everyone felt a biting bone.

Hearing Li Zhengyan's words, Nobunaga Mochizuki had intercepted his reinforcements, and his face showed an incredible look.

In fact, in order to deceive Takeda Nobushige, he was able to control the military strength of Yamato Province and did not mobilize a single soldier, even if the Musashi Army left some control of Kyoto after the attack on Honnoji last night, in fact, all of them were mobilized here.

Mochizuki Shinnaga just wanted to deceive Li Zheng with words, and after making him frightened, he would see if he could take advantage of this to capture the other party, which could be regarded as taking a slight advantage.

And seeing Li Zheng's confident rebuttal made him feel a pang in his heart.

Nobunaga Mochizuki raised his head to look, only to see that on the hillside, Nobushige Koyamada's main formation, I don't know when it was eliminated.

And the flag mark also disappeared, replaced by a large flag with a moon and a double pattern flying in the wind and snow.

On the other side of the hillside, the two armies braved the snow to advance, and the red armor and white snow scene were particularly eye-catching.

The strength of the two armies is like an iron arm, and the left and right are quickly generalized, and the troops of Oyamada Nobushige and the Musashi Army are encircled.

On its banner is the elite army of the Takeda Army, Kamioka Bei, and Snake Tail Bei.

"How is this possible?"

"Kamioka Bei, Snake Tail Bei, aren't you in Kaga? How did it end up here? ”

Mochizuki Nobunaga looked at Li Zheng and said: "If it is true that the Li family has other intentions, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch behind, your Li family silently regards it, seeing that I am plotting against the Lord of the Imperial Pavilion and the Gongfang Palace, but I am secretly planning everything and achieving great achievements, and I am not affected by the name, and I am regarded as a rebel." ”

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Your Highness Mochizuki, you are jealous of the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”

"Nonsense, otherwise can you explain why I burned the Honnoji Temple for only one night, why did Kamioka Bei and Snake Tail Bei appear here?" Nobunaga Mochizuki's eyes widened and he looked at Li Zheng fiercely.

Li Zhengyan said: "Yes, my father is secretly stationed here with Shengang Bei and Snake Tail Beitun, but the purpose is not to rebel, but to worry that Chaoyue Gong will turn his face and turn his face, which is not good for my Li family, so I specially put these two reserve teams here and respond to me." ”

Nobunaga Mochizuki snorted and laughed for the first time, "Do you think I will believe it?" I think Your Excellency is the real person who is more than the outside, Yagata Gong, the general of the guard, you are the old scheming, I am far worse, ridiculous, still having a big dream, unwilling to wake up. ”

When Li Zheng heard this, he didn't explain, and said: "His Royal Highness Mochizuki can believe it, if you don't believe it, it's okay." When the time comes, please go to your father's side and explain! ”

"Yakata?"

Nobunaga Mochizuki saw nearly a hundred samurai on horseback at the foot of the mountain, and the stars were holding the moon and surrounding a tall middle-aged man dressed in a big coat.

This person is burly and has very different eyes, it is not Li Xiao, who else can it be?

As soon as Li Xiao's Li Ziqi seal appeared, Takeda Nobutoshi and Koyamada Nobushige both glanced at each other.

And the Musashi Legion, the Ashigaru of the Oyamada Army, saw the well-trained elite troops of the other side, surrounded by one left and one right, and they no longer had the will to fight.

"Raise your gun!"

The iron cannon of the Takeda Army raised the platoon gun ashigaru.

"Haha!"

A long series of laughter echoed across the plains.

Everyone looked at it, only to see Mochizuki Nobunaga looking up to the sky and smiling, only to see him smiling and laughing, and two lines of tears came down from his face.

"Shinyong!"

Takeda Nobutoshi on the side couldn't help but look sad.

I saw Mochizuki Nobunaga, wiping his face with his hands wrapped in leather cases, wiping away his tears, and said to Li Zhengyan: "Even Yagata Gong is here, what else do I have to say, I was defeated and trampled on the ground, this rebellion is all my own idea, my brother came here under duress from me, but I hope that Yagata Gong will spare his life when he sees his past feelings, is it okay?" ”

Li Zheng saw Mochizuki Nobunaga say this, and was silent at the moment, this is a crime of rebellion, and it is impossible for Takeda Nobutoyo to live his life.

Seeing Li Zheng's face, Mochizuki Nobunaga couldn't help laughing at himself, and said: "Since you go with you, this big dream in Kyoto is over, and Takeda Ling is going to replace it with a moon double pattern, I don't think I can see it." ”

With that, Nobunaga Mochizuki unsaddled off his horse, threw aside his armor and sword, and sat cross-legged in the snow beside the horse, with his head bowed deeply.

"Coward!"

Seeing that Nobunaga Mochizuki was like this, Nobuyo Oyamada shouted angrily, immediately pulled out his sword, and said, "Retreat with me!" ”

Horses' hooves roll and kick slush.

At the moment, Nobushige Koyamada led a cavalry team of fifty or sixty horsemen from the Koyamada family, and retreated at the moment before the encirclement was closed.

"Lord, are you pursuing?" Said that the general of the moon preparation Tsuchiya Masahiro asked for instructions.

Li Xiao, who was under the seal of the Li Ziqi, smiled, waved his hand, and said: "If you want to have more branches, you only need to capture Takeda Nobutoshi and Mochizuki Nobunaga, and now...... Where else can this little Yamada Nobushige run to now? ”

"Exactly."

All the generals couldn't help but smile on their faces.

Li Xiao waved his horsewhip forward and said: "This rebellion is enough, let them put down their weapons and surrender, I will only punish the evil, and no one else will be prosecuted!" ”

"Drop!"

"Drop!"

"Drop!"

The soldiers on Li Xiao's side said in unison.

The besieged army, seeing Mochizuki Nobunaga dismount and surrender, Oyamada Nobushige rode away again, and there was no longer any desire to fight.

Without waiting for Takeda Nobutoyo to speak, all the ashigaru threw their spears on the ground one after another, and their eyes were at a loss.

Seeing this, Takeda Nobutoshi smiled miserably, and instead rode out of the horse, heading straight for the direction where Li Xiao was.

Tsuchiya Masahiro waved his hand, and the horseback warriors of Yuebei were divided into eight horses to surround Takeda Shintoyo.

Li Xiao shook his hand and said, "Let him come over." ”

Takeda Shinfeng came to Li Xiaoma's first three rooms and stopped, threw away his weapon, knelt down in front of Li Xiao, and said, "Master, I ask you for my guilt." ”

Listening to Takeda Nobuto's master, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, when he was in the middle of the island, he was under Takeda Nobuhiro, and at that time, as the son of Takeda Nobutoshi and Mochizuki Nobunaga, he couldn't help but appear in front of him.

At that time, Takeda Shinfeng was younger than Li Zheng, and he chased Li Xiao all day long, asking questions and talking about the story of the Three Kingdoms.

And Nobunaga Mochizuki was still a taciturn child at the time, and it was only when Li Xiao told the story of the Three Kingdoms that a smile appeared on his face.

Time has passed, and nearly 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye.

And Takeda Nobutoyo, Mochizuki Nobunaga has become a prisoner at the moment, and Takeda Nobuyo, who valued him well, now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

Li Xiao jumped off the horse at the moment, waved his hand to signal the left and right sides to retreat, walked to Takeda Xinfeng, and said: "The matter has reached the present, and it is difficult to recover it, what is the point of you asking me for guilt at this moment?" ”

Takeda Nobutoshi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt sad in his heart, and the whole person lay in front of Li Xiao, crying bitterly.

"Master, I was wrong! I was wrong! ”

Takeda Nobutoyo said sadly.

When Li Xiao saw this scene, he also felt grief, hugged Takeda Nobutoshi's shoulders, and his eyes were also red.

"This mess, at this point, it's finally time to end."

The heavy snow fell finely, and it didn't take long to cover Li Xiao's helmet and cloak with a layer of white.

Heaven and earth were silent, only the sound of heavy snow falling.

On the New Year of the ninth year of Tensho, Kyoto was still spent in a heavy snowfall.

The turmoil in Kyoto at the end of the year was quickly and effectively quelled overnight, and the lives of the people were not in much turmoil.

The people tried to forget that incident, and had such a good mood for the New Year, and at the same time hoped that the world would be peaceful and the family would be healthy in the coming year.

The bell chimes leisurely.

Kyoto, Tenryu-ji Temple.

An eye-catching Western-style four-wheeled carriage is parked at the entrance of Tenryu Temple.

The carriage was surrounded by samurai in bright armor, and at the back of the procession was a group of ashigaru men carrying iron cannons.

The carriage door opened, and Li Xiao, who was wearing a hunting suit, got out of the carriage.

The side on the side hurriedly held an umbrella to shield him from the falling snow.

Standing in front of the door of Dade Temple, as far as the eye can see, the sky and the earth are monotonous white, and the snowflakes are flying and circling in the sky with the cold and gloom of winter.

Li Xiao coughed lightly, took the umbrella from the side near the bottom of his hand, and strode into the door of Tianlong Temple.

In the temple, the warriors of the Li family are densely packed and on guard.

Li Xiao turned a blind eye to all this, stepped directly into the middle gate, passed through the main hall, and came directly to the depths of the courtyard.

Here, Li Xiao stopped his hand, signaled that he didn't have to follow, and walked into the courtyard alone.

In front of a grass house, several clumps of cold plums bloomed in the snow.

On his forehead, Takeda Shinshiori, who has a striking scar, is closing his eyes at the moment, holding a rosary in one hand and quietly knocking on the wooden fish with the other.

Li Xiao didn't speak, but sat on the edge of the corridor and waited silently.

After a long time, Takeda Shinfan finished his homework, and did not glance at Li Xiao, packed up the scriptures in front of him, and said lightly: "Yagata Gong, what is the so-called matter when you come here to visit?" ”

Li Xiaoyan said: "I came to visit Master Chaoyue. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xiao paused and said: "This Tianlong Temple Rinzai Sect is the main mountain, and it is the first of the five mountains in Kyoto, Chaoyue Gong is far away from Huilin Temple to practice here, I don't know if I can get used to it?" ”

Takeda Shin said, "It's all a practice, as long as the heart can meditate, whether it's in Kai, or in Kyoto, or even if there is no tile above your head, it's the same." ”

Li Xiao nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Let's say that, Li Xiao stood up, walked to Takeda Shinshihiro's door, and asked, "Can I go in and talk in detail?" ”

Takeda Shinfan raised his head, looked at Li Xiaoyan and said, "Yagata Gong doesn't have to be polite, please." ”

At that moment, Li Xiao and Takeda Nobuhiro were sitting cross-legged opposite each other.

Takeda Nobuhiro opened his mouth and asked, "How are the preparations for the funeral of Lord Gokan?" ”

Li Xiaoyan said: "It is already in preparation for Kyoto Daitoku Temple, and when the time comes, I will invite all the retainers of the family, as well as the world's great names, to come and pay a visit." When the time comes, the mourning will be borne by His Highness the Messenger of the Umino family. ”

"Oh, is it the Umino family? This kid hasn't seen it yet. Is his father okay? ”

Li Xiao replied: "Yes, His Highness Haiye is blind, but his body has always been healthy. ”

Hearing this, Takeda Nobuyoshi nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, then in this case, after Lord Mikan, His Royal Highness will inherit the family governor?" ”

Li Xiao said calmly: "Yes, I have this meaning, His Royal Highness Xindao also decided to change the Miao character from Haiye back to Takeda, this is his personal decision, but whether to succeed as the governor of the family still needs to be discussed by the retainers in the family before it can be finalized." ”

"There is no need to discuss, this child is good, he can be the governor of his family, and in fact, he is the only descendant of his brother at the moment." Takeda Nobuyhiro nodded and said.

Speaking of this, Takeda Shinhiro suddenly asked: "I remember that your grandson also has the blood of his own family, with your ambition, why don't you let him Miao Zi be Takeda to inherit the governor of his family?" ”

"My ambition?" Li Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Chao Yuegong said that he was laughing, Zheng'er refused to change his bloodline to his surname Miao, and of course I didn't want to." ”

Hehe.

Takeda Shin suddenly laughed and said, "What a Li Xiao, he almost deceived me." Why don't you want to change it to the word Miao, it's just a delaying tactic. ”

"Do you want to temporarily support the throne and let Shindo serve as the family governor, and after pacifying the daimyo such as Kyushu, Shikoku's Changzong Ibu, Otomo, Shimazu, etc., then eradicate the internal vassals of the family who are not subject to you, and finally take over the world again."

Speaking of this, Takeda Nobuyhiro said with a calm expression: "In terms of Your Excellency's ambition and conspiracy, of course, you will not do anything at this time to make a name for yourself and deal with real trouble. ”

"You want to be Cao Ying, Sima Yi, bear with it, wait a while, when the world is really stable, you might as well let your descendants do this usurpation again, and come to another Instinct Temple, right?"

"Is this how you can fulfill your ambitions at the same time as you are faithful?"

Li Xiao looked at Takeda Shinfan, shook his head and said, "Chaoyue Gong, no one can predict what will happen after me in the future. Even if I have this ambition, my children and grandchildren will not do it, and I will have nothing to do. Or I don't have the ambition, but my children and grandchildren want to do it, and there is nothing they can do. ”

"But no matter what, Takeda is very kind to my Li family, and the descendants of my Li family will all keep the lineage of the Zong family, which can rest assured."

Takeda Shinhiro was stunned for a while, and said: "As far as the usurper is concerned, it is not bad to achieve this step of Your Excellency. So I don't bother to ask anymore, hmph, what's the point of asking? ”

"Even if my Takeda family gets the world, but there is a world that has been prosperous for a long time, and in the end, it is just a prosperous season later, just like the cold plum outside the house, even if it survives this winter, it will wither after all."

Li Xiao looked at the clusters of plum blossoms outside the house, but he was contemplating.

In fact, now that the world has been decided, the Li family, as the first minister of the Takeda family, has actually mastered the center, and the Zong family has been hollowed out, which is equivalent to mastering the power of managing the family, and at the same time, among the four positions, the position of the head of the service center has been controlled in his own hands.

In addition, such as Tokugawa, Sanada, Satake, Hosokawa, Kyogoku and the Li family, are now in the same breath and branches, advancing and retreating together.

The Mori family was divided into three, and it no longer had the strength to compete with the main family, and after the Hojo was weakened, it was more secure in the Kanto region, and it did not have the strength to intervene in the shogunate.

Among the three positions of the shogunate, in fact, it is Li Zheng's turn to speak alone, as for whether the Takeda clan is abolished or not, and whether Ashikaga Yoshiaki is in office as the shogun has no impact on the overall situation.

The power of the shogunate is already in the hands of the Li family.

In the next step, Li Zheng only needed to spend ten years to pacify Shikoku and Kyushu in turn. Then in the entire sixty-six countries, it is already the Li family's martial arts world.

As an uncrowned king, what is missing is just a name and righteousness, and this layer of name and righteousness, whether it is revealed or not, depends on the mood of Li Zheng and even Li Yun.

As the first head of the Li family, Li Xiao has truly completed the burden on his body at this moment.

Since ancient times, people who dominate the world, after becoming famous, are all lonely in their hearts, and Li Xiao is no exception.

Takeda Shin said: "The flowers bloom for another season, don't you feel lonely in the house?" Even if your Li family gets the world in the future, what if it lasts for hundreds of years, it will dissipate in an instant. ”

"Life is just a big dream, I don't know the house shape of the father, suddenly after waking up, will you find that all this in the past is in a dream, you are still in the house of your hometown, about the people of the Ming Kingdom, get up early to plow the fields, go to bed late, then what does the house shape think about this?"

Takeda Shinfan's words suddenly struck Li Xiao's heart.

As a traverser, he came to the Warring States of Yuben, and all this was incredible.

Nagashino battle, Sekigahara battle, his wife, son.

His experience with his relatives seems to be nothing more than a long dream, only slightly realistic.

Is it really as Nobunaga said, fifty years in the world are like dreams and illusions?

Thinking of this, Li Xiao smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Then Chao Yuegong, if Your Excellency really thinks that life is also a dream, then why do you drink water and eat, once you die, can't you wake up from the dream?" ”

Takeda Nobuyhiro was silent.

Li Xiao stood up, looked at the plum blossoms, and said: "Chaoyue Gong is a born person, everything in Buddhism is empty, there is no good and no evil in the world, and what he does is just a fantasy. Everything that comes from painstaking action is ultimately a mirror. ”

I don't deny that there is a point in that, but does it encourage people to do nothing and leave everything behind? That's not enough to make it to the world. ”

Takeda Nobuhiro sneered and said, "If everything is nothing, what's the point of you going to Jingwei?" ”

Li Xiaoyan said: "As you said, the flowers bloom for another season, so since the flowers know that they are going to wither, don't they bloom?" ”

Takeda Nobuyhiro looked at Li Xiao and pondered what he said.

"Everything has its own surname, Buddhism also says that it is a clear heart to see the surname, people are born to eat, they go to eat, they want to drink water, I have come to this Warring States, in this troubled times, if I don't do it, I don't draw the sword and get up, it is against the heart, even if it is really a dream, then what."

"As for the future of the Li family, whether it can be achieved depends on the matter of children and grandchildren, I don't care, if one day my Li family loses morality, since there should be a capable person to live in it, this is a cycle of troubled times. If you don't do anything because you are afraid of losing, then you are really doing nothing! ”

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Takeda Shinfan shook his head and said, "Sophistry! Sophism! ”

Li Xiaozhi smiled at this and stopped explaining.
