Chapter Seventy-Four: Salute Before Soldiers
To the north of the castle town is the retainer danyashiki, to the south is the shojin town, and to the south of the castle is the monzen town of Kofu Zenko-ji Temple.
Because Shinano Zenkoji Temple was burned down in the Second Battle of Kawanakajima. Therefore, Takeda Shingen invited the hondeno Zenko-ji Nyorai of Shinano-Zenko-ji Temple to Kai, and built a temple at Zenko-ji Nyorai near the Takeda family's main castle in Zenko-ji Nyorai.
At present, the main hall of Zenko-ji Temple in Kofu has not yet been completed, but it has been largely completed, and the town of Monzen, where worshippers, monks' families, and commercial craftsmen live in front of the temple gate, has begun to flourish because of Zenko-ji Temple.
The Monzen town of Zenko-ji Temple and the castle town of Kusakikan together form a thriving business circle in the Fuchu Basin. This cannot but be said to be an achievement of Takeda Shingen's governance within the territory.
It's almost night, and I'm in the house of the retainers' samurai in the castle town of Tsukisakikan, and the house of the Baba Nobubo, one of the four retainers of Takeda.
As a retainer of the Takeda family, the house of the Baba Nobubo is still quite large, except for a large mansion with a front and back yard, and a long house on both sides of the mansion. This longhouse, which resembles a collective dormitory, was used as a samurai directly under his command.
In the mansion, Baba Nobubo and his son Baba Masabo are sitting cross-legged on their knees.
At the age of 20, Masabo participated in the Battle of Nakajima in Sichuan, and fought with his father in the Wife and Nuyama Rangers, and his bravery inherited his father's name, and he also belonged to the rising star of the Takeda family.
At this moment, Masabo Masashi was upset, and said: "Father, His Royal Highness Childe has misbehaved this time, and I am not allowed to enter the city by the soldiers of the Takeda family, not to mention that even His Royal Highness Shiro, who has achieved great merit, is also refusing. This is too narrow-minded, and it is not the bearing of a great name of a country in the future. ”
Hearing what his son said, Maba Xinfang's eyes swept away, and Maba Changfang had to swallow the next complaining words back into his stomach.
Baba Nobubo touched the short beard on his chin and said, "His Royal Highness Shiro has broken Uesugi Huihu with 800 people and nearly 10,000 people, do you believe it?" In short, hearing about this, it is still like a dream to me, and I am afraid that His Royal Highness Gongzi will deal with it like this, and he is also worried that the rumors will spread too badly and finally provoke the jokes of other countries. ”
When Maba Masabo heard this, he hurriedly said: "Why don't you believe it, Uesugi Huihu is not a man with three heads and six arms, others believe that he is the incarnation of Bishamentian, I am not afraid." ”
Baba Xinfang snorted and said angrily: "You also participated in the battle of Kawanakajima, with the strategy and talent of the lord, there are 20,000 troops under him, and he can only be equal to Uesugi Teruto. And His Royal Highness Shiro, how long has he been leading the troops, he can defeat the Uesugi Huihu with 800 people, I'm afraid there is something strange about this. ”
In addition to inheriting his father's bravery, Baba Masabo also inherited his father's temper of daring to speak out on any occasion, and said loudly: "Father, what the lord can't do doesn't mean that His Royal Highness Shiro can't do it. ”
"Presumptuous." Baba Nobubo shouted, the most admired in his life was the lord Takeda Shingen, and his son said this undoubtedly very seriously angered him.
The Racecourse Nobubo picked up the knife from the placement frame and smashed it towards the Racecourse Shofang with the scabbard attached. Maba Changfang didn't dare to dodge, knelt on the floor, gritted his teeth and received a blow from his father.
Just as the father and son staged a scene of full martial arts, outside the house, a samurai reported: "Lord Baba, there is a samurai who claims to be Li Xiao outside, asking to see him." ”
The Racecourse Shinbo was slightly stunned when he heard Li Xiao's name, in this battle behind the palace, Li Xiao led more than 60 cavalry, broke six formations in a row, and directly attacked Uesugi Kenshin's main formation, which has been spread among the Takeda family's retainers.
If Li Xiao's deeds are true, then his bravery, even if the 'Yaksha Mino' Hara Tiger Yin, the 'Ghost Tiger' Kohata Tiger Sheng, and the legend of the 'Tada Yorimitsu' who killed the evil ghosts, these famous fierce generals in the Takeda family are not as good, if you really want to compare people with Li Xiao, I am afraid that they can only be re-launched by Gen Yoshitsune and Kiso Yoshinaka.
Li Xiao took off his shoes and put them outside the corridor, and when he entered the house of the racecourse, he saw a mess.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Li Xiao still acted as if he hadn't seen it, saluted to the Racecourse Letter, and said, "I've seen Lord Racecourse." ”
Racecourse Nobubo nodded, and looked at Li Xiao carefully, when I first met in the Shinano Mountains, this person was just a young man who didn't know where he came from, and there was a confusion on his face, and today the other party has become a famous general.
The racecourse letter put away the emotion in his heart, and said with a smile: "Lord Li Xiao, don't come here without harm. ”
The racecourse letter room spoke Chinese, which made Li Xiao feel very cordial when he heard it.
Li Xiao laughed and said, "Lord Maba's Chinese is becoming more and more fluent, Li Xiao admires it." After speaking, the two sat down separately, and Changfang took the initiative to introduce himself to Li Xiao, with an incomparable look of admiration for Li Xiao in his eyes.
didn't have time to express politeness, Li Xiao pretended to cough, and then directly explained his intention to the horse farm letter room.
Since Yumi Kohata ran to beg him to save his sister, Li Xiao's impulse at that time was to rush to Katsuzi's house to save people, and then beat up this villain with a face of annihilation, so that he would know the fate of the person who robbed me Li Xiao.
However, Li Xiao later thought about it, and at that time, let alone a prisoner of war, even if a civilian killed a samurai, there was no reason to go about it. What's more, the Jibu family is the generational genealogy of the Takeda clan, and if he rushes to the other party's house rashly, he will definitely suffer a loss in name and give people a handle.
So Li Xiao thought about it, so he could only ask others to come forward.
In the Takeda family, there are only a few people who can emboss the head of the family, and there are only a few people such as four ministers, and the four ministers Nakayama Masaka Masaka has not yet come out at the moment, and he is still under the aura of his brother Iitomi Huchang, Takasaka Masanobu is far away in Shinano Kaizu Castle, and Naito Masatoyo himself is not familiar with him.
The only one Li Xiao recognizes and can ask for more is the Machang Xinfang. And Li Xiao knows that in history, the relationship between the Racecourse Xinfang and the Jibu family has always been not so good.
Anyway, everything is still in accordance with the Chinese code of conduct, do a good job in the relationship, and then salute the soldiers first, the division is famous, and it is the first thing to bring people back, as for this account, there is time to calculate later, sooner or later, one day you will be asked to drink my footwashing water.
After Li Xiao finished talking about the reason, he explained that he was going to be the queen of the death hall and give birth to the people of his team, so he asked the sister of the subordinate samurai to be taken away by the team.
Such an act is really ungrateful, wolf-hearted.
When Machang Xinfang heard this, he was so angry that his beard stood up one by one, and without saying a word, he agreed to Li Xiao.
Then the Racecourse Letterhouse, the Racecourse Shofang, and Li Xiao took more than a dozen samurai to the house of the Traces.
The samurai at the door of the trace house recognized the horse farm letter room, and saw that the other party looked angry again, so he didn't dare to stop it at the moment.
Just as Li Xiao and the others walked into the house from the corridor, they saw Katsuzi sitting in the lobby, holding a glass of wine in one hand and pulling Yuzhen Kohata in the other, about to force it into her mouth.
Seeing this, Li Xiao suddenly exploded, rushed in, snatched Yuzhen Kohata, and then punched the face of Katsuzi with a heavy punch, and scolded loudly: "Beast! ”
