Seeing Li Xiao looking at the map, Takeda Shingen looked stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Li Xiao, what do you think, what is my plan?" Can you hum something that you don't consider? ”

Li Xiao came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "The lord's consideration is very thorough, and his subordinates have no objections. ”

Takeda Shingen nodded and said: "Among the three roads, I am in the middle of the Nakajima formation, although I am the main force, but it is only used to contain Uesugi Teruto, and Nato Masatoyo, and the ability of the Sanada trio "Although I can have the upper hand in the Ueno offensive, it will not lead to a big victory." And among these three routes, it is your left flank army that really wants to deal a fatal blow to the Echigo army, understand? ”

Li Xiao nodded, what Takeda Shingen said was right.

Li Xiao's left wing army is the strongest, and Li Xiao himself is also the most powerful general in the Takeda family, and most importantly, his attack distance is the closest to Kasuga Mountain City.

As long as Li Xiao can complete the detour and flank the side of Kasugayama Castle, the Echigo army that Nakajima and Shingen are fighting against will fall into a situation where they will be attacked on their backs.

If Uesugi Kenshin tried to retreat from Takeda Shingen's front and return to Kasuga Mountain Castle at this time, he would immediately be attacked head-on by the main force of the Takeda Army led by Takeda Shingen.

And if Uesugi Kenshin ignores it, then Li Xiao can boldly attack Kasuga Mountain Castle, and the situation will be even worse for the Uesugi army.

In contrast, the Uesugi family's defense in Higashi-Ueno has been consolidated, and the right-wing forces of Naito and Sanada will be relatively less powerful, and they will not be able to attack Echigo in a moment's urgency, but they can also play a role in diversion.

Takeda Shingen looked at Li Xiao and said: "So the key to this battle is whether you can attack Echigo, in order to strengthen your military strength, I will send Shigeharu Takenaka to serve as the military commissioner to help you, with him, he can boldly let go." ”

"Takechu re-governs, and the army pursues." Li Xiao's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood Takeda Shinxuan's intentions.

This dagger in the name of Takenaka Chongzhi is Li Xiao's strength, and in fact, it can be said to be the prison army arranged by Xinxuan.

The position of the military commissioner is similar to that of the modern chief of staff, and if necessary, he can replace Li Xiao himself and mobilize the military strength of the corps.

Shigeharu Takenaka, plus Masabo Masabo, who served as the winning general of the legion, and Feihui Yuezhong had these two elbows in the legion, and the Takeda family was enough to be wary of Li Xiaosheng's dissent.

"Thank you, Lord." Li Xiao immediately agreed, and suddenly thought of the son of Yamamoto Kansuke, Yamamoto Kanzo, whom Takeda Nobuhiro recommended to him before.

Li Xiao has now included Yamamoto Kanzang in the flag book, but this person's motive for joining is not very good.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao secretly sneered in his heart, if he really had a different heart, with the power of Takenaka Shige, Baba Xinfang, and Yamamoto Kanzang, would he really be able to look at himself?

Li Xiao naturally knows which is more important at the moment, and before Nobunaga is immortal and the Oda family is not destroyed by himself, even if he has different intentions, he must not make trouble.

No matter what happens in the future, Li Xiao must use the banner of Takeda to kill Uesugi Kenshin and Oda Nobunaga, the two most terrifying opponents in the Warring States Period.

Takeda Shingen looked at the map for a long time, then swiped the horsewhip, pointed at Mino, and said: "Li Xiao, if this strategy is overcome, what do you think the next step for the family should be?" ”

Li Xiao thought for a moment and said, "My lord, please forgive your subordinates for saying bluntly, your subordinates and Lord Baba have the same opinion, and the alliance between this family and the Oda family will not last long." ”

Takeda Shingen glanced at Li Xiao, nodded slightly, and motioned for Li Xiao to continue.

Li Xiaoyan said: "The grand strategic goal of the family is Kamiluo, and Nobunaga's ambition is to take the world, and he will never be satisfied with the hegemony of, and will inevitably intervene in the Kanto region and eventually dominate the world, so if the two goals conflict, there will be a war sooner or later, and in the opinion of his subordinates, between the main family and the Oda family, it is better to start a war early than later." ”

Takeda Shingen listened to Li Xiao's words, pondered for a while, and said: "What you said is very insightful, just what I want, I think this is why I can't wait to promote the peace between the family and the Hojo family." ”

Li Xiao nodded and said: "The lord sees that the implementation of peace with the Hojo family has indeed finally achieved Shangluo, although the Oda family is hegemonic in Kinai, but the situation is unstable, except for the Asakura family, the Asai family, Ishiyama Honganji and others are secretly not subservient to the Oda family. ”

"In my opinion, with Nobunaga's courage and current strength, even if these forces join forces, they will not be his opponents, but they are enough to cause some trouble to the Oda family, and once Nobunaga eases his breath, eradicate these major forces, and integrate the momentum of Kinai, there is no longer any strength in the world that can stop Nobunaga. At that time, no matter how powerful the strategy is, no matter how powerful the art of war, it will not play a role in the face of the general trend. ”,

"Therefore, we must not give Nobunaga enough time, even if we can't have a quick battle with the Uesugi family, we must give the Oda family a blow during this period, and we must not give the Oda family a chance to achieve the general trend."

Takeda Shingen listened to Li Xiao's words and said: "No matter how powerful the strategy is, no matter how powerful the art of war, it will not work in the face of the general trend. Li Xiao, your words are very reasonable. When do you think it's an opportunity to turn the other cheek with the Oda family? ”

Li Xiaoyan said: "Your Majesty believes that even if you can't destroy the Uesugi family this time, you must at least be able to suppress Echigo, and after you finish it, you can wait for an opportunity, that is, when the world will change." ”

"The world has changed!" Takeda Shinxuan's eyes sank, obviously moved by Li Xiao's words.

"Yes, Nobunaga will definitely not be smooth sailing", Li Xiao said affirmatively, "Nobunaga has razed the world with iron and blood, whether it is the Gongfang Palace, or the southern capital and Beiling will not sit idly by, Nobunaga's behavior of breaking the rules will inevitably provoke a backlash from all sides, and we need a righteous war with the Oda family, as well as the strategic posture of the Oda family that is not optimistic, and then the family can justifiably go to Luo:"

Takeda Shingen strode around the chalk and said, "Li Xiao, if the family is going to Luo, how sure do you think it will be successful?" ”

Li Xiao glanced at Xinxuan, the increasingly thin figure, I don't know if he can continue to support his ambition and hegemony, if Takeda Xinxuan's body is healthy all the way, then the certainty is naturally great, but ......

Li Xiaoyan said: "It's hard for your subordinates to say. ”

Takeda Shingen thought for a moment and said: "I still remember, when you were preparing to attack Mino Gushang, you told me in the letter that the county is a bridgehead to peep into the world and the cornerstone of the family's progress in Shangluo. ”

Li Xiao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, thinking that he would admit at this time that he had become a half-immortal of an unknown prophet.

What Li Xiao said at the time was also the identity of a chess piece in Xinxuan's hands, and considering the family's grand strategy was the consideration of Xinxuan as a chess player, but it was not what Li Xiao should have thought at that time. This text is provided by Qihang Dagger Qishen

You can't tell Shingen that I'm a traverser.

Li Xiao replied stiffly: "The lord is really ashamed, at that time, his subordinates were just bent on attacking Mino and eradicating the remnants of the sister Xiaolu family, so the words in the letter were just rhetoric at that time. ”

Takeda Shinxuan smiled slightly, and said: "Li Xiao, I understand what you mean, but you inadvertently laid a foreshadowing for your own Shangluo in advance. ”

Speaking of this, Takeda Shingen looked at the map and said: "Have you seen it, the location of the prefecture is very delicate, you can contact Asakura and the Asai family to the west, you can threaten the Oda family Qizhuo Castle to the south, and you can attack the Nakasendo Road to the east."

Li Xiao, what do you think of? ”

Li Xiao naturally couldn't speak quickly at this time, and told the march route of Shangluo in history, so that he would really become a demon.

So Li Xiao could only shake his head and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know." ”

Takeda Shingen looked at the map and thought for a while, then said: "I attacked Suruga, and the purpose of Enoe is to open up Kamiraku on the Tokaido. At that time, I will definitely lead the main force and take the Tokaido Kamiraka to face the Mikawa Tokutoku family. But what worries me the most is that the Oda family will support the Tokugawa family and form a joint attack between the two armies. ”

Xinqi is right, this is also the situation of the Nagashino battle in history.

The Takeda family single-handedly faced the Oda De "coalition forces."

However, in the battle of Joraku in Shingen's history, Nobunaga was trapped by Nagashima Isunjo and took into account the offensive of Akiyama Nobuyo on the Nakasendo Road, so he did not dare to lead the main force and easily went south to Mikawa to support the Toku" family.

So it's no wonder that when Mikata Hara, Toku, Ieyasu saw the mere 3,000 reinforcements sent by the Oda family, and sighed incomparably, and the Tokugawa family was destroyed.

Shingen continued, "So at the same time, I will dispatch the Minami Shinano army in Akiyama to attack the Oda family's Mino skills and contain the Oda family by taking the Nakasendo Road. And now that Li Xiao has captured the county, the situation is more favorable to the family, once the Oda family sends troops to support Mikawa: I can choose not to fight the Oda Tokugawa coalition army at this time, and the fortified wall is to confront the enemy. ”

"At the same time, wait for Li Xiaoyou to send troops from the prefecture, and together with Akiyama, the two major armies will flank Mino and open the Nakasendo Road, or go south to threaten Gifu Castle, or form an alliance with the Asakura family in the east:"

Speaking of this, Shin Xuan was obviously reluctant to say any more.

Li Xiao sighed in his heart, he didn't know how many variables his capture of the county would bring to the battle of Takeda Shingen Shangluo in history.

After that, Takeda Shingen casually asked who the warden of Hachiman Castle in the county was, and when he heard that it was Shima Katsuto, Takeda Shingen had also heard of this person's name, and nodded lightly.

At the same time, he instructed Li Xiao to secretly hoard military rations in Hachiman Castle in the county in the past two years to prepare for the future battle of Shangluo.

After a long conversation with Li Xiao, Takeda Shingen was obviously not satisfied, but at this time, his face turned pale, obviously because of the recurrence of lung disease.

Li Xiao immediately called a close attendant and a doctor for Takeda Shinxuan, and then said goodbye by himself.

However, Takeda Shinxuan checked the pulse on the one hand, and still asked Li Xiao a few words about the military strength of the Northern Continent:

Finally, under the dissuasion of the doctor, he reluctantly stopped saying more, and turned to close his eyes and meditate.

After Li Xiao retired, seeing Xinxuan's condition, he couldn't help but be a little more worried about the future of the Takeda family
