Takeda Shinxuan looked at Li Xiao for a long time, and suddenly closed the folding fan in his hand, and asked under the board: "Li Xiao, how did you come up with this strategy, you must know that you are a native of the Ming Kingdom, and you have not been here for a long time to come to my Takeda family, why can you make the situation of my Takeda family, Uesugi family, and even the entire Hokuriku clear?"

Li Xiao heard Takeda Shinxuan say this, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, yes, when he crossed over to the Warring States, he couldn't even speak, but now he is talking so much, isn't it showing his feet?

What should I do now, do you want to tell Takeda Shingen, I, a native of the Ming Kingdom, used to have nothing to do, and I was playing a game called Taiko Rishiden, Nobunaga's Ambition?

Li Xiao's brain was spinning, and he already had a way, and asked rhetorically: "Lord, do you know the allusion of Chu and Han's struggle for hegemony?" ”

"Yes."

Li Xiaoyan said: "The lord doesn't know that the person his subordinates admire the most is Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and this strategy came out of this thinking. At that time, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed in the Central Plains, and Xiang Yu was also a peerless general who turned to the world and never tasted defeat. Liu Bang knew that if he had a head-on battle with Xiang Yu, he would not have much chance of winning, so he personally led the army to confront Xiang Yu's army in Xingyang, and ordered Han Xin to go north and Peng Yue to the south to attack respectively. ”

When Takeda Xinxuan heard Li Xiao say this, his eyes flashed and he said: "That's why you want me to believe in Xuan, follow Liu Bang's move to destroy Xiang Yu, divide the troops into three ways, and level Uesugi Qianxin." ”

Seeing that Takeda Shinxuan believed a little bit, Li Xiao secretly admired that he was so capable of, in such a critical situation, he gave me a piece of work and made up a reason, I am really a talent. In this way, Takeda Shingen would think that Li Xiao and him just happened to want to be together, and did not have ulterior motives to test him.

Li Xiao nodded and said: "That's right, Uesugi Kenshin, like Xiang Yu, is a great talent and is good at battle, but there are no generals under him who can stand alone. Moreover, when His Majesty was in Yamamoto-sama's military tent that day, he happened to see the map of Hokuriku Province, and felt that the terrain of Echigo was long and narrow, and it was inconvenient to echo from end to end, so he came up with such a strategy. ”

Takeda Shingen nodded, looking completely relieved, looked at Li Xiaoyan and said: "I almost blamed you, Li Xiao, it is very rare for you to have this insight, as for letting Shiro be in charge of the West Ueno Raiders, I have to think about it, but with you to assist him, I am very relieved, but unfortunately Shiro is not a son-in-law." Li Xiao, are you really unwilling to come to my side as a direct minister? ”

"Thank you for your love, His Royal Highness Shiro and His Majesty have both the righteousness of a monarch and a minister, as well as the friendship of teachers and students, so His Majesty can't bear to leave His Highness Shiro."

"That's right, this is what you are talking about," Takeda Shinxuan struck the palm of his hand with the handle of the fan, "Li Xiao, you are a person who values righteousness and reason, I Shingen is not mistaken, okay, you can step back." ”

When Li Xiao walked out of the main hall covered in sweat, he scolded in his heart: Takeda Xinxuan, you birdman, at the last moment, you also tried Lao Tzu's hand. This guy is cunning and cunning, and he won't be a direct minister under his nose if he kills me.

In the same way, Takeda Shingen looked at Li Xiaoyuan's back, and a smile escaped from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, the sliding door of the paper door on the side of the living room was opened, and a abbot of Huilin Temple, wearing a dark monk's robe, Kuaikawa Shaoxi, slowly walked out of the door.

"What do you think of this Li Xiao?"

Kuaikawa Shaoxi smiled and said: "Poor monk, I thought that Yamamoto Kansuke praised it too much, but now that I see it, this Li Xiao really has a lot of advantages." These three-way strategy to attack Echigo coincided with what you thought before, even when the poor monk heard it, he was also taken aback, and thought that when he said the strategy of Lord Dashan in his sleep. ”

Takeda Shingen said with a smile: "Yamamoto Kansuke, the ability to recognize people is something I can trust." But he said that he wanted me not to be important to Li Xiao and not to let him be the city lord, so I didn't agree with it. A Ming countryman, taking root here, I am afraid that people will not be convinced, this point is not to be scrupulous. What I was worried about before was that I was worried about which family Li Xiao was, so I had ulterior motives to join my Takeda family. ”

Kuaichuan Shaoxi nodded and said, "Lord Dashan, now that your doubts are gone, how are you going to use Li Xiao now?" ”

Takeda Shingen thought for a while and said: "People are castles, people are walls, people are Hori, love is friends, and enemies are regarded as enemies." Shiro knows this truth. Li Xiao is his courtier, and it is Shiro's business to use it like this. However, Shiro is assisted by Li Xiao, and there are also think tanks like Saburo of the Sanada family who are on the side to give advice. I want to hand over the strategy of Nishiueno to him, maybe it is really as Li Xiao said, even Uesugi Huihu is afraid of them. ”

A few days later, in the castle tower of Takato City, in the city lord's assessment room.

During the Battle of Mt. Shirane, the antler headbag, with its red silk tie, was placed behind Takeda Katsuyori.

Now Takeda Katsuyori held a folding fan in his hand, sitting majestically in the position of the lord of the city, looking down at the dozens of retainers lying below.

"Li Xiao, you will be promoted to the general of my Suwan family, and the price will be six hundred."

General, I have finally taken this step, Li Xiao said secretly.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Xiao then Li Xiao received a sword from Takeda Katsuyori's hand, which was given by Takeda Shingen as part of his reward for his outstanding performance in the Battle of Shiraneyama.

Li Xiao looked at Takeda Katsuyori's eyes, and saw that he was also looking at himself with a very happy expression on his face, obviously his excitement was no less than his own.

When Li Xiao held the sword in his hand, he sat in the group of Takeda Katsuyori's retainers, and after Suwa Manchu and Hoshina Masatoshi, he was in the third seat. All the retainers under Takeda Shingen's command looked at Li Xiao with envy.

Most of them had experienced the bloody battle with Uesugi Kenshin with Li Xiao, and there was no dissatisfaction with Li Xiao's promotion to a general.

Among the people here, Sanada Masayuki smiled indifferently at Li Xiao and expressed a sense of congratulations. As for the Baoke brothers, they are very happy for Li Xiao. Suwa Manlin, Masatoshi Hoshina, Nishimura Heizo and others also congratulated Li Xiao.

For Li Xiao, the good news is not only that he has been promoted to general.

Takeda Shingen also agreed to the plan that Katsuyori Takeda would be in charge of attacking Nishi-Ueno. However, Takeda Shingen didn't let Iifu Huchang let go of the strategy.

Under the instructions of Takeda Shingen, the Suwa Army led by Takeda Katsuyori, and then from the Shirane Mountain Pass, as the first route of the Nishi-Ueno Expeditionary Army, attacked the Ganraku-gun, Tahu-gun, and Midori-gun of Ueno Province, while the other way was led by Takeda Yoshinobu and Iitomi Toramasa to attack Azuma-gun and Usui-gun.

In Li Xiao's view, Takeda Shingen wants to take a look at the performance of Takeda Yoshinobu and Takeda Katsuyori in the Ueno Country Raiders and make a high and low comparison. At the same time, this is also a means of competition, and the two will inevitably use all their strength to compete to see whose merit is greater.

This is also a help to the Takeda family's Nishi-Ueno strategy.

The time to go out to Nishiueno is set for May, and there are still two months to go.
