In a forest near Chajiu Mountain, Takeda Katsurai rode his horse all the way, hating it in his heart, and scolded: What kind of thing is this Li Xiao, a low-level samurai, and his origin is unknown, he dares to accuse the son of the lord.

He has the noble blood of the Genji clan and the Suwa priest clan flowing through him, how can an outsider easily insult him.

Takeda Katsuyori slammed the reins, his eyes widened, and his hands twisted the whip fiercely. At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard.

Takeda Katsuyori was shocked, thinking that he didn't bring an entourage of samurai when he went out, but he ran into the Uesugi family's soldiers and horses. Immediately, Takeda Katsuyori was heartbroken, and if he touched it, he would kill a few generals of the Uesugi family anyway, and return to the army to see who dared to look down on him.

So Takeda Katsuyori pulled out the sword from his waist and rushed to the other side of the woods with a loud shout. In Katsuyori's eyes were five or six samurai on horseback, Takeda Katsuyori didn't think much about it, but he just rushed towards the other party with the war horse under his crotch.

When he rushed closer, Takeda Katsuyori only felt a flower in front of him, a samurai in front of him, suddenly made a move to avoid his sword, turned his hand and lifted himself off the horse, and then threw it heavily into the ground.

In less than a round, Takeda Katsuyori was defeated, and he immediately felt extremely humiliated, although he was still starry-eyed, he said loudly: "I, Takeda Katsuyori, have lost now, I have nothing to say, cut off my head and go back to receive the reward." ”

"Bastard, are you dizzy? Can't even tell the difference between oneself and one's enemy? ”

Angered by this shout, Takeda Katsuyori came back to his senses, only to see several famous generals of the Takeda family, Iitomi Huchang, Yamasangu, Naito Masato, and behind them was his brother, the son-in-law of the Takeda family, the future lord, Takeda Yoshinobu.

The complexion on Yoshinobu Takeda's face was as fair as a woman's, and he was obviously a pampered son for a long time, he rode a horse and looked at Takeda Katsuyori condescendingly, and said in a cold voice: "Katsuyori, are you going to assassinate me?" ”

Takeda Katsuyori's face was pale and he didn't know how to speak, but at this time, five or six horsemen suddenly galloped behind him, and the person who came was Li Xiao and Takeda Katsuyori's personal samurai.

Li Xiaoyou heard a few words, and probably guessed the situation, so he said to Takeda Katsuyori who was lying on the ground: "Katsurai, didn't we say that it was good to be here and try martial arts, why were you suddenly caught?" ”

Takeda Katsuyori was slightly stunned, raised his head and saw Li Xiao glancing at him, he would come to his senses in an instant, knowing that Li Xiao was shirking responsibility for him, but he didn't want to accept Li Xiao's kindness in his heart, and was about to explain.

Li Xiao continued: "This is the young master, I'm really sorry, I agreed with Shenglai to learn martial arts here, and made a bet, maybe my previous words were too arrogant and offended Shenglai, so he may want to raid and embarrass me, but I don't want to admit the wrong person." ”

Takeda Yoshinobu listened to the whispers of Iifu Huchang beside him, looked at Li Xiao and said, "You are Li Xiao, a Ming warrior under my father's command." ”

"Exactly."

Takeda Yoshinobu snorted lightly, he saw that Li Xiao knew his identity, but he didn't get off the horse to salute him, and he was quite unhappy in his heart, but he also knew that his father had ordered this person not to obey etiquette before, so he didn't have a seizure on his face.

Takeda Yoshinobu glanced at Takeda Katsuyori and said, "Shiro, you can't be reckless again, you know?" After speaking, he rode away with a group of generals.

Li Xiao dismounted and helped Takeda Katsuyori up, seeing that Takeda Katsuyori's face was flushed at the moment, his teeth were biting his lips, and blood was flowing. Li Xiao didn't say a word, and ordered someone to lead Takeda Katsuyori's horse and return to the camp together.

That night, the fog was thick on Kawanaka Island, and Takeda Katsuyori came to Takeda Nobuyoshige's camp alone and carefully told his uncle about the day's events.

After finishing speaking, Takeda Katsuyori felt humiliated, sat down cross-legged and said: "Uncle, please teach me, I don't want to be subservient to my father's prestige for the rest of my life, and I also want people to know that the Takeda family also has a Katsuyori." ”

Takeda shook his head and said, "I don't have anything to teach you. ”

"No, uncle, your resourcefulness is no less than that of your father in the Takeda family, there must be some way to teach me, so that you can bear the hardships of such victory, and you are not afraid if you want me to die."

Takeda Katsuyori said anxiously bowing down under Takeda Shinshige.

Takeda Nobuhiro glanced at his nephew, sighed and said, "Katsuyori, uncle is old, accompanying your father to fight all his life has consumed too much of my mental strength, even if I haven't taught Xinfeng well." Katsuyori, if you really want to make a difference, I know of someone who can help you. ”

"Who is it?" Hope suddenly ignited in Takeda's eyes.

"Li Xiao."

Hearing this name, Takeda Katsuyori's face changed, and then he snorted heavily and said, "Uncle, I will never bow my head to this Ming countryman." ”

Takeda Shin said in a deep voice: "Since you are not even afraid of death, why worry about face, as a military general, you must have enough mind, this Li Xiao will not be just a brave general, I will not be mistaken, he must be a wise and brave person." In terms of the wisdom of people, who in the world is better than the lord, he also has a very high opinion of Li Xiao, otherwise he will not let him teach you martial arts, don't you see the meaning of the lord's cultivation of you. ”

Takeda Katsuyori was stunned for a moment, and hesitated for a while: "Uncle, this Li Xiaozhen has such a ability to teach me." ”

Takeda Xinfan smiled: "**Don't leave ten, at least your Uncle Xinlian also praised him before leaving, if I, the lord, and your Uncle Xinlian are all unanimously optimistic about the figure, I think this person will never be worse even if he is not good." ”

After hearing this, Takeda Katsuyori sat down heavily, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Who will wake up to the big dream, I know it in my life, the grass hall is asleep in spring, and it is late outside the window."

After taking a nap, Li Xiao was suddenly refreshed, and Takeda Nobutoyo, who happened to be passing by, was extremely impressed when he heard Li Xiao chant such a good poem.

Looking at Xinfeng's extremely admiring eyes, Li Xiao didn't know if Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms was popular in this book at this time, so he hurriedly explained the source of this poem. Takeda Xinfeng listened with great interest, and asked all the way from Zhuge Liang to the thatched house.

Li Xiao casually said this well-known bridge passage to modern Chinese in blunt language, and the reason why he used it was because at this time there were many soldiers of the Takeda family surrounded by him.

They could hear Li Xiao speak so vividly and vividly, and they were all fascinated by it. Li Xiao was addicted to storytelling, and suddenly felt very happy. In addition, Li Xiao also saw Shenglai standing in the outer circle in the crowd to observe.

Because he didn't eat dinner, Li Xiao could only go back to the camp early to rest in order to survive hunger, and it was at this time that Takeda Katsuyori suddenly came to Li Xiao's tent.

As soon as Takeda Katsuyori saw Li Xiao, he knelt down on his knees in front of Li Xiao without saying a word.

Li Xiao couldn't figure out the situation, reached out and touched his chin, thinking about the reason, while staring at Takeda Katsuyori's kneeling posture and muttering.

After fifteen minutes, Li Xiao finally spoke: "Shenglai Gongzi, what's the matter of being so late to my account?" It's very simple here, and there are no soft mats for you to sit on. ”

Takeda Katsuyori buried his head deeply and said, "I don't need a mat, I'll just kneel like this." Shenglai has been reckless to Your Excellency these days, and I have come to ask for your guilt this time, please forgive me. ”

Li Xiao sat cross-legged from the bed, looked at Shenglai, and then said: "It's just a little thing, Shenglai Gongzi is cold underground, let's get up and talk." ”

Takeda Shenglai said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li Xiao, I, Shenglai, have come to visit Your Excellency this time wholeheartedly, and I hope you can teach you." As you said today, I am willing to follow Liu Bei's example and ask Mr. to be our military advisor. ”

Li Xiao laughed and said: "This is all apocryphal in the book, in history, it has not been decided whether Liu Bei has three visits to the thatched house, and I dare not compare with Zhuge Liang, I think that there is a long gap between me and him, you have found the wrong person, please go back." ”

Takeda Katsuyori still didn't get up, and said word by word: "Please don't shirk sir, if Mr. doubts Katsuyori's sincerity, I'm willing to cut my stomach here to show my heart." ”

"Nani?"

Li Xiao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, sure enough, what he said on the Internet forum was right, he said that he was very perverted, just this little bullshit, can he use seppuku at every turn?

Li Xiao opened his mouth and said: "Shenglai Gongzi, I believe in your sincerity very much, may I ask Shenglai what you want me to teach you?" Martial art? ”

Takeda Katsuyori shook his head and said: "Sir, it's not just martial arts, maybe most people in the Takeda family just regard Your Excellency as a brave general, but in fact, I think that what Mr. is really powerful is resourcefulness, and this is where I want to borrow Mr. ”

Li Xiao groaned, thinking that this Shenglai was so shrewd that he could see this. Li Xiao knows that in fact, his so-called wisdom does not refer to the level of IQ, but the insight of modern people far ahead of this era.

Li Xiao thought for a while and asked, "Shenglai, I'm glad that you are so elevated, but where is your ambition, or ambition?" I know that the current first heir to the Takeda family is not you, but your eldest brother. If nothing else, he will be the one in charge of my Takeda family in the future, and when the time comes, you will only be his retainer, and you will have a fief of tens of thousands of stones, as a city lord. So, what is the purpose of your solicitation? ”
