Chapter Twenty-Six: The Three Generations of the Takeda Family

Li Xiao happened to see Sanada Masayuki at this moment, a pair of eyes were staring at him, that complex and vivid expression, if it could be described in words, the general meaning could be 'Where did this turtle warrior come from?' ’

Li Xiao stepped forward generously and introduced himself first: "Under Li Xiao, I am a Ming warrior hired by my Takeda family, and now under the command of Lord Suwa Katsurai Castle, he is serving as a spear teacher, I wonder if Your Excellency is Sanada Saburo Sanada Masayuki?" ”

Sanada Masayuki suddenly realized that as a native of the Ming Kingdom, Li Xiao did not have to follow the rules in the Takeda family, which was promised by Takeda Shingen himself.

"It turned out to be Lord Li Xiao, Your Excellency's outstanding performance in the Battle of Kawanakajima, and I often heard my father mention it below." Sanada Masayuki replied with a straight look, although he was young, the steadiness in his tone far exceeded that of his peers.

"Then in this case, the battle of Kawanakajima should be Your Excellency's first battle." Li Xiao asked.

"Exactly, the Echigo Army's special force that followed his father in Xia flanked the Echigo army in a roundabout way at Mt. Tsuna, but unfortunately did not find the enemy's main force, and it is a shame that in the later battle, Zaichi did not make any gains."

"I see," Li Xiao nodded, reached out and patted Sanada Masayuki on the shoulder, and comforted, "Don't be discouraged, you have more opportunities to establish meritorious deeds for the Takeda family in the future." ”

Li Xiao's intimate behavior made Sanada Masayuki frown, obviously he didn't like others to touch his body, but this look was just a flash, and he was still very respectful to Li Xiao on the surface.

Li Xiao happened to see his demeanor at this moment, and said secretly in his heart: At a young age, he learned to compare things from the outside so quickly. For Li Xiao, because his height is much higher than that of himself in this era, patting the shoulders of acquaintances has become his habitual action.

At this time, Sanada Masayuki looked at Takeda Katsuyori and said respectfully: "I heard that Kawanakajima fought together, and Katsuyori was also in the first battle, but he asked for a head. I feel very much admiration for the courage of adults. ”

Takeda Katsuyori heard someone flattering him, a young man's surname, he laughed very proudly, and then said a few words modestly, the content of which is nothing more than that Goben wants to be low-key, but he has no choice but to be famous, and no one knows the meaning.

Li Xiao shook his head secretly when he heard this, thinking that this Shenglai child is still immature, why don't you learn more from this Changxing child in front of you, how stable he is, and he is just right at a young age.

On the side, Takeda Shinfeng said: "The battle of Kawanakajima, Lord Li Xiao, isn't it also the first battle?" He was able to obtain seven heads, two of which were also famous samurai of Echigo. ”

As soon as the words fell, the two Baoke brothers who were watching from the sidelines suddenly looked at Li Xiao with great admiration. And Takeda Katsuyori has always admired Li Xiao since the battle of Kawanakajima: "That's right, that's right, Lord Li Xiao's marksmanship is the best in the world, and he also killed Uesugi Masahu for the lord." ”

And Sanada Masayuki looked at Li Xiao with a little more surprise at this moment, the other party was only twenty-one or twelve years old, and he actually won such a record in the first battle. Only Li Xiao smiled and waved his hand, as if it was not worth mentioning, but no one knew if it was dark in his heart.

Everyone chatted briefly, and then Li Xiao introduced the two of them to Takeda Shenglai and them. Takeda Katsuyori naturally put on a posture of a castle lord, saying things like serving the Takeda family loyally and killing the enemy well.

In fact, Li Xiao suddenly found that some of the seven people present were city lords, some were family heads, and some were family elders, but in fact, except for Li Xiao, who was a little older, everyone else was no more than twenty years old.

When Takeda Shingen's father, Takeda Shintora, was the head of the Takeda family, and his contemporaries Itagaki Nobukata, Ganli Toratai, can be called the first generation of the Takeda family's retainers, and now many of the generals of this generation have passed away.

And the current family governor Takeda Shingen's retainers group can be counted as the second generation, and they are all active in the front line of the Takeda family's conquest, serving as the general of each legion, and the elders of the family, such as Takeda Nobushihiro, Takeda Nobuyoshi, and the four ministers of Takeda, Sanada Yutaka, and Hoshina Masatoshi.

If you count Takeda Katsuyori, the future governor of the Takeda family, and in this room, Takeda Nobutoyo, Mochizuki Shinnaga, Sanada Masayuki, Hoshina Masatsuki, and Hoshina Masatsuki can be regarded as the third generation of the Takeda family's retainers, and the future new force of the Takeda family.

Especially after Shingen's death, these people have grown into the backbone of the Takeda family, and continue to assist the successor governor Takeda Katsuyori, and fight for the Takeda family.

And now, when fate meets, they happen to be together in this room, and neither of them is aware of their future fate. Although Takeda Katsuyori does not see any hope of inheriting the Takeda family's business at the moment, he is already the head of the Suwa family and has received 40,000 kokugao.

And Takeda Nobutoyo and Mochizuki Nobunaga also directly inherited the family business of the previous generation, and under the prestige of their father and uncle, everything was too easy and did not go through their own struggle.

Sanada Masayuki also has two older brothers alive at present, and he himself did not expect that he would be able to inherit the Sanada family's governorship. Li Xiao can always see from his eyes that he is ready to find his own way out and wants to get ahead. No matter how deep Sanada Masayuki Castle Mansion is, it can't be concealed at his current age. Among the same people present, his behavior is the most sophisticated, and he exudes the taste of youth and maturity everywhere, and he really deserves to be the hero of the future.

The two brothers, Baoke and Changyue, who are also from the same small wealthy family, are also eager to be able to kill their future with one knife and one shot in the future.

The six young people on both sides have their own ambitions and plans, and they also determine their future fate in the Takeda family.

At this time, Takeda Katsuyori suddenly proposed that everyone hold a tea ceremony, and this proposal was immediately approved by most of the people present, and even Sanada Masayuki looked very interested.

Tea ceremony? Li Xiao heard this word but it was a mixture of flavors, okay, as a Taiko 5 player, it doesn't matter if you don't know Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, etc. But there is one person who must be known, and he is the one who opened the tea man's house in Kaino-cho.

I remember that every time I played Taige in the past, at the beginning, the military generals played by Li Xiao always had to carry the money in his pocket, and went to Qianzongyi to buy tea sets, learn tea ceremony, and tea ceremony skills After two stars, Man said that he was looking for generals everywhere to drink tea and pull relationships, improve friendship, cheat cards, and learn skills.

The tea ceremony was the most popular means of socializing among the upper echelons of the Warring States period at that time, and its status was much more popular than that of white-collar workers who got off work to sing K and go to bars. This is a very important thing that must be learned.
