Chapter 472: A Change in the Times

Li Xiao's resolute words, not only Takeda Nobuyo, but also Takeda Nobufan nodded secretly, even the racecourse Nobufang was slightly surprised, as if he had re-acquainted Li Xiao.

Takeda Shinhiro opened his mouth and said, "The great funeral of the owner of the pavilion has been scheduled for three days later, and it was originally the new governor of the house who had to take over as the governor of the family in Takeda Hachiman Palace after the funeral of the owner of the pavilion. ”

"But because of my father's objections, the ascension of the new governor to the throne has been postponed, and the answer can only be discussed after the retainers' assessment next month."

"Next month's retainers' assessment?" Li Xiao asked in surprise, "Why did Zuojing Hall delay for so long?" The sooner the matter of the new family governor is decided, the better, otherwise if it is delayed, there may be changes in the famous families near the family and the wealthy families in the territory. ”

Takeda Nobuyoshi shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, Father, what considerations may there be." ”

Li Xiao thought about it, looked at Takeda Nobuyoru and Takeda Nobufan again, and said: "The retainer group assessment is about to be made, I don't know how the two adults decide?" I know Zuo Jingdian's identity, so even if the two of them support his decision, Li Xiao will not complain. ”

Takeda Nobuyhiro pinched the rosary wrapped around his right wrist with his hand, nodded and said, "Li Danma Shou, the poor monk is very pleased to be able to take into account the feelings of the two of us. In this case, I might as well pick out the attitude, I and Xinlian's decision is the same, support the will of the owner of the museum, but considering the identity of my father, as a son of man, I can't rashly come forward to oppose it. ”

On the side, Takeda Nobuyoru echoed and said, "I also hope that the difficulties of the two of us can be understood. ”

Very good.

Li Xiao understood what Xinfan and Xinlian meant, that is, we are against it, but we don't come out of the tank.

Due to Takeda Shinho's identity as their father, and their years of prestige, it is impossible for them to come out too far against Shinho's decision.

Since Shin Fan, who is the queen of the Martial King Pill, and the pen head of the family Xin Lian Gong did not come forward to pick this head.

Then it is obvious that this bad guy is likely to be taken by Li Xiao, who is the head of the retainers' group.

Is the grumpy old man in the legend of Takeda Shintora?

rashly came out of his strengths, and did not agree with Li Xiao's consistent strategy of keeping his head in the dark, in the past, there were major events in the Takeda family, and they were always carried by tall people.

Whether it is Takeda Shingen or Takeda Katsuyori, they are both very assertive heads of the family, and Li Xiao was not in a position of power at that time, and his right to speak was limited.

But now Xinxuan and Shenglai have both passed away, and the original pen head of the old Shan County Changjing died in Changshino again.

When encountering such a major event as changing the head of the family, it is simply impossible for Li Xiao, who is the elder of the pen family and one of the five elders of Shenglai Tuogu, to make a fortune in a muffled voice.

This is also the principle that the heavier the position, the greater the responsibility.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao stood up and said: "In this case, as a confidant of the hall owner, I naturally can't shirk it, in deciding the evaluation of the retainer group chosen by the master of the family, I will bluntly oppose the decision of Zuo Jingdian, even if the head of the family does not do it, I must keep Wuwang Pill inheriting the family governor, otherwise it will ......"

Speaking of this, Li Xiao looked at the place where Takeda Katsuyori was parked, and remembered the scene when Katsuyori asked himself to be lonely before he died.

After that, Li Xiao said deeply: "Otherwise, I will have no face to face the lord under Jiuquan." ”

Listening to the sighing meaning in Li Xiao's words, the three people present were all old people, and they understood Li Xiao's words, and they were indeed from the bottom of their hearts.

Takeda Nobuyoshi burst into tears at the moment, and said: "First Naito repaired Changfeng, and then Yamayama Saburo, the death of thousands of soldiers, it was easy to kill Nobunaga, and the family can dominate the world. God, you treat me Takeda, how thin. ”…,

Takeda Nobuyoshi said emotionally, and the Baba Nobubo, who had experienced the battle of Nagashino, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, thinking of the Yama Prefecture of the four ministers, Naito.

Although in the end, in the great counterattack, the heads and horse seals of the two have been snatched back, but what is the effect, the Si people have passed away.

In the past, the famous and loyal to the Takeda family, the Iitoyama Prefecture clan has been wiped out, and the first powerful army of the family is red, and there are few withered.

Racecourse letter room, Huo Ran said: "Yama County, Naito and the two have gone, only me and Takasaka are still left, Nagasaka Guangjian plotted to kill the lord, I am one of the two positions of the family, I also have the responsibility of negligence, this yù follows the master of the hall to seppuku, but the lord of Méng entrusted, but can not shirk this burden, if it is the Zuojing Hall blame, it will be borne by me and Danma Shou together." ”

Li Xiao saw the racecourse letter room standing on his side and nodded.

In the retainer group, the seat of the horse farm letter room is second to Li Xiao and Takasaka Masanobu, and he is the third retainer of the family, and he also has enough right to speak.

In addition, with Akiyama Nobutomo and Takasaka Masanobu, who are out of town in the Takeda family, these two retainers of the spectrum who were raised by Shingen, have a good relationship and can represent the voices of these two people in the center.

Not only ranking, but among the retainers, Li Xiao and Baba Xinfang are also good in their own strength, they are both powerful generals, they control nearly half of the Takeda family's troops, and their power is strong, if the two of them are resolutely opposed.

Even if Takeda Shinhu relies on the old and sells the old, it is absolutely impossible to pass the decision to establish Renko Shengxin as the governor of the family in the evaluation of the retainers.

With Li Xiao and Machang Xinfang's statement, the matter was discussed and a general result, and the four people in the room were much more relieved.

And at this moment, Li Xiao heard a report outside the monk's room: "Report to the young assistant of the Criminal Department, there is an emergency military report in Kanto!" ”

"Urgent military report?"

Li Xiao was slightly surprised in his heart, and his expression was not calm when he looked at the other three.

"Could it be that Uesugi and Hojo are at war again?" Takeda Nobuyoru smiled at everyone in the room, but there was a trace of worry on his face.

Li Xiao understood the meaning behind Takeda Nobuyo's words, and at the moment, when the Takeda family was in this weak situation, there really couldn't be any problems in the backyard of Kanto.

"Please come in!" Nobuyoru Takeda said to the outside of the house.

The monk's room was opened, and the outside of the house was full of warriors from the Takeda family, and a samurai covered in mud and wearing armor walked into the house and reported to Takeda Nobu: "I received the news that the three members of the family were spying on the Hojo family, and more than ten days ago, the head of the Hojo family, the Hojo clan, suddenly led an army of 30,000 to attack Anfang, and the general Satomi family!" ”

"The Satomi family is destroyed! Mr. Shang, Anfang and the two countries have entered the hands of the Hojo family! ”

"What? No way? Takeda Nobuyoru immediately said, "Anfang Satomi has been fighting with the Hojo family for decades, how can it be destroyed in one day, a few years ago, the Satomi Criminal Department had just broken the Hojo clan government in Mifune Mountain. ”

Satomi Criminal Department is Satomi Yoshiyao, and he and Takeda Nobuyoshi have the same official title as the Criminal Department Shaosuke.

The samurai said, "Returning to the Punishment Department, the Hojo family has been planning for a long time to attack the Satomi family this time, and last year, after the death of the Satomi Punishment Department, the governor of the Satomi family, Yoshihiroko, took the throne. However, after Yoshihiro succeeded to the throne, his health has been poor, so he wanted to let his sister-in-law Mei Wang Maru serve in advance and come to take charge of the Satomi family. ”

As a result, Satomi Yoshihiro's son Satomi Yoshiyori, seeing that his brother was seriously ill but had the ambition to usurp the governor of the Satomi family, he was instigated by the Hojo clan and under Yoshihiro's serious illness, he raised an army against Làn to seize the governor. Just when Satomi Yoshiyori's anti-làn succeeded, and after capturing Kuzato Castle, he killed his brother Yoshihiro and put his son Umeomaru under house arrest. ”

Just when he thought he had succeeded and was about to take over as the governor, the Hojo clan took advantage of the opportunity of the Satomi family to lead a large army to attack the Satomi family. The Hojo family successively rebelled against the Satomi family's important retainer Masaki Tokitada, and after Toki was Lai, these two people opened the defense line on the border of the Ueso, led the Hojo family's army into the hinterland of the Ueso, and surrounded the main castle of the Satomi family, Kusato Castle. ”…,

"Under the instigation of Uchio, Kusato Castle was soon breached by the Hojo Army, and Satomi Yoshiri was killed by seppuku in the castle tower, and the Hojo clan rescued Umeomaru from captivity and adopted him as an adopted son, so as to recruit Anfang, the two countries are loyal to the Satomi family, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the two countries are noble, under the destruction of the clan, they will officially surrender to the Hojo family."

Listen to the samurai's story of the destruction of Satomi and tell me in detail.

Everyone was surprised and admired by the Hojo clan's methods.

In fact, because the reputation of the Sagami lion Hojo Shiyasu is so great that his son Hojo Shimasa, who has always been under his father's halo, can hardly do anything.

In fact, in the Battle of Mifuneyama, the Hojo Army, commanded by the Hojo clan, was defeated by the Satomi family, causing the Hojo family to withdraw from the competition for the Kamikoku, so that after the Second Battle of Kokufutai, the Hojo family's suppression of the Satomi family was lost.

But I didn't expect that the Hojo clan was actually ashamed and brave, and used this means of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands for rain to capture the Satomi family.

Of course, there are the reasons for the death of the former governor of the Satomi family, the death of Yoshiyao Satomi of the Kanto Ichio, and the poor health of his successor, but the means used by the Hojo clan in it, the success of the strategy, the grasp of people's hearts, and the control of the situation, make people see the shadow of his father Hojo Shiyasu in him.

Thinking of this, Takeda Shin said: "After defeating the enemy behind the Satomi family, the Hojo family can let go of the three daimyo of Satake, Unomiya, and Yuuki, and take Anfang, after the two countries, the Hojo family can expand nearly 500,000 stones, plus the original stone height, the total stone height mastered by the Hojo family can exceed 2.5 million stones!" ”

More than 2.5 million stones!

It means that the maximum mobilization force can exceed 100,000 troops.

Li Xiao secretly digested this figure, when Qingchang inspected the land, the total stone height in Japan was more than 18 million stones, more than 2.5 million stones, which is nearly half of the stone height in the world.

And the Takeda family is now, and the total stone height is only around 1.8 million stones.

Li Xiao shook his head slowly, it seems that the situation in this world has far deviated from his understanding in history.

First of all, the Uesugi family, after the road to Shangluo was blocked by Li Xiao's Hida Echichu Army, gave up the historical strategy of Notokaga Hida in Echichu and turned to expand its power westward.

Uesugi Kenshin and the Satake family, after joining forces to defeat the Ashina family, and after obtaining the vassalage of the Daihoji family, their power has increased dramatically, and they have also approached the power of a million-stone daimyo.

The second time, it was in Nagashino, that the Takeda family reversed the decline in history and won the Battle of Nagashino, which was a disastrous victory, but it was enough to curb the momentum of the Oda family sweeping the world.

Without Nobunaga, the Oda family can go to such a point, and now Li Xiaoquan has no historical basis, so he can know it.

Third, it's the Hojo family's fenxun this time.

Historically, it was true that the Satomi family seized the governor of the Umeomaru family, his nephew, but after that, the Satomi family survived unharmed and became the Tokugawa Shogunate.

On the contrary, the Hojo family was attacked by Odawara, the 220,000-strong army of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and finally destroyed.

In fact, this also means that Li Xiao's biggest advantage as a traverser, the historical events that were originally based on it, and then the anti-heaven technique of raiding according to the map, has disappeared.

This Warring States era has completely changed, and Li Xiao has no clear path to find in front of him, and like everyone else, it is a layer of méngméng white fog, covering the road in front of him.

Now Li Xiao must be like everyone else, in this era, use his own wits and judgment, cross the river with stones, rely on the foundation he laid down before, and join this battle for world hegemony. …,

Thinking of this, Li Xiao opened his mouth to the warrior who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "How is the situation in the Oda family?" ”

Seeing that it was Li Xiao who inquired, the samurai replied respectfully: "The investigation is still ongoing, but the Oda family is heavily guarded, and the mourning for Nobunaga's death is currently underway in Gifu Castle." ”

Li Xiao nodded slightly, and said, "The movements of the Oda family must be closely followed. ”

"Oh!"

Li Xiao paused, as if he thought of something, and asked rhetorically: "What information has come from Kyushu, Shikoku, and Shanyang Mountain?" ”

The samurai was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The information of this family has always been aimed at spying on the Kanto and sides, Sanyo, Yamayīn, and Shikoku are too far away from us, not to mention Kyushu, and all we know is rumors of Xingjiao and traveling merchants, and the news is long and inaccurate. ”

Li Xiao listened, nodded slowly and said, "It's hard work, I know." ”

After the samurai retreated, Takeda Nobuyoru asked Li Xiao, "Li Danma Shou, why did you inquire about the news of Shanyang and Shanyin?" This is too far away from our Kai capital, and if we want to maintain the intelligence information channel, then it will cost a lot of money, and it is meaningless. ”

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Let's ask." ”

Although Li Xiao said this, his thoughts drifted to another place.

The overall situation in this world is very different from what it used to be.

Then Takeda Nobuhiro, Takeda Nobuyo, Li Xiao, and Baba Nobubo discussed for a while, and the strategy of the Hojo family and the outer Jiāo after the power increased greatly.

Fortunately, the relationship between Hojo and Takeda is still in the honeymoon period, and Hojo's current main enemy is not Takeda, so for the time being, the Hojo family is only regarded as a potential opponent.

In the next few days, I was busy with Katsuyori's funeral.

On the day of the funeral, when Takeo Maru walked out of the hall with the Katsurai spirit card, the retainers of the Takeda family cried loudly.

The letter is multiplied, and the horse farm they all flow out of sorrow.

And Li Xiao, who is Shenglai's teacher and friend, also accepted the news of Shenglai's death at this moment, and he silently wished that Shenglai's spirit in heaven could rest in peace.

But a few days after Katsuyori's burial, another sensational news spread throughout the Takeda family and spread xìng to cause the world to look sideways.

The Muromachi shogunate, His Royal Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the fifteenth shogunate, landed on the Suruga River by boat and entered the Takeda family.

Li Xiao, who was mourning for Shenglai, was dumbfounded when he heard the news.
