Kyoto.

Honnoji Temple is a town located south of the Rokkaku Koji in Kyoto, north of the Shijo Homon Koji, east of the Kushitsu Koji, and west of Onomiya Oji.

It was also one of the twenty-one temples of Hoke, and was protected by the shogun Ashikaga clan.

After the Takeda family went to Luo, the governor of the family, Takeda Nobukatsu, chose Honnoji Temple as his own line and lived here with all the retainers.

Outside the temple, heavy snow fluttered in the sky, and the ethereal bells came one by one, washing people's hearts.

Fourteen-year-old Minister of the Interior Takeda Nobukatsu, dressed in a hunting suit and holding a sunspot, sat in front of the chessboard in contemplation, and sat in front of him against a black-robed monk.

This monk was not yet twenty years old, not much older than Takeda Nobukatsu.

Takeda Nobukatsu's forehead sweated slightly, and after contemplation, he finally pushed away the chessboard and said, "I lost, thank you for your advice." ”

The little surname on the side of Takeda Nobukatsu said: "Lord, this game of chess has only reached the middle game, why did you admit defeat." ”

While wiping his hands with wet wipes, Takeda Nobukatsu said, "Manonosuke, don't speak." ”

The black-clothed monk said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Minister of the Interior is young, but his chess skills are very high, if your Excellency has no distractions, his achievements in chess will definitely be better than that of a poor monk." ”

Takeda Nobukatsu smiled and said, "But I still lost." ”

The black-clothed monk said: "If you are a novice who does not know the way of chess, you often do not distinguish the situation when playing chess, and when the market has no power to return to the sky, it is still a wave battle." His Royal Highness the Minister of the Interior can see the winner in the middle game. Isn't that clearer? ”

Takeda Nobukatsu stood up and said, "Whether it's clear or not, I appreciate those samurai who are still fighting even more when they know that there is no hope of victory. However, chess is different from martial arts, and I will not force it. ”

The black-clothed monk nodded.

Takeda Nobukatsu thought, "Since Hinami is so good at chess, I will hire Your Excellency as my Go guide." How about twenty stones, plus ten people to support them? ”

The monk, who was called Rihai, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness the Minister of the Interior. ”

The monk nodded, he had another name in the later life, Ben Yin Fang Shusha, which was the first generation that created the first class of Ben Yin Fang.

And in the same Hongnoji Temple, there is another spacious hall.

A martial artist in his thirties raised his head and said with a flushed face, "Your Highness Chaoyue." My brother attacked the Miyoshi family of Awa Province and held back some of Oda's forces for Takeda Kamiraku......"

"It can't be."

Takeda Shin threw a stack of letter paper in front of Xiangzong's pro-Tai, and said, "You go back and tell His Highness Changzong and my department that if you want to become the overlord of the four countries." Then you must come to Kyoto in person, meet with the palace, and ask for his permission. ”

"With a mere letter, I want to lead the four countries of Nankaido, and there is nothing so easy."

Seeing the power of Takeda Nobuyoshige. Xiangzong and my department are pro-Thai, and I know that it is useless to say anything, so I retire immediately.

After repulsing the other party, Nobuyoru Takeda walked out from behind the sliding door and sat down in front of Nobuyoshi Takeda.

Takeda Nobuyoru saw that Takeda Nobuyo picked up the tea in front of him. Drink it slowly, and there is anger on your face.

Takeda Nobuyoru thought for a moment what Takeda Nobuyhiro had just said, and immediately asked, "Brother, but you want to attack Shikoku?" ”

Takeda Nobuyoshi glanced at Takeda Nobuyoshi and said, "Changzong and my department don't know how to practice, so they just gave me this opportunity. ”

Takeda Nobuyoru took a step forward and said, "But now the war has just ended, and the world's great names have not yet been decided......"

Nobuyhiro Takeda raised his hand. Yan said: "I understand, at least in the first half of next year, this decision will not be made, the attack on the four countries is not the contribution of the family, when the time comes, the Maori family's naval army will be mobilized, the land of the four countries, the family will get two countries, and the Maori will live in one country and divide it to one country." ”…,

"In this way, the power of this family will be even stronger."

Takeda Shin Lian said: "Why borrow the Mori family's navy, the Lee family's Shima navy, and the Hokuriku Province's navy, they can all be mobilized. ”

Takeda Shinfan shook his head and said, "The battle of Sekigahara is not enough, do you still want the Li family to be sealed?" ”

"Under the command of the general of the guards, nearly two million stone land, sitting on eleven countries, it was one-sixth of the strength of the famous mountain family back then, so powerful ministers, I can't eat and sleep at ease."

Takeda Shinren looked at Takeda Shinshi's attitude and asked, "Brother, are you going to do something to the Li family after destroying the Changzong family?" ”

Takeda snorted and said, "If the strength is enough, I'll do it now." ”

"Elder brother!" Nobuyoshi Takeda suddenly raised his voice.

Takeda Shinfan was slightly stunned and asked, "What?" ”

Takeda Nobuyoru actually burst into tears in a daze, and said, "Brother, don't you think that since you took charge of the Takeda family, you have behaved deviantly in the past? ”

"The elder brother back then had a humble attitude, served his brother loyally, and treated his retainers well, and everyone said that brother, you have the style of Duke Zhou."

"And now, how much have you changed now? You know, how many people outside this whole day, saying that you want to ignore the owner of the museum and take over the power of the Takeda family by yourself, but they are ill-intentioned. You have to be your own Cao Cao! ”

"Shut up!" Takeda Shin suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Who is Cao Cao, Li Xiao is Cao Cao, this person is suspicious." Since he went to Hida, he has been scheming, managing his own power step by step, deceiving his brother and winning it, making them think that he is a loyal servant of his own family, but in fact he has long had bad intentions. ”

"You know what? Li Xiao is in Hida and Sado, and he has developed gold and silver mountains, and his annual income is more than ten times that of his family's Kurokawa gold mountain! ”

"Ten times more!"

Takeda Nobuyoru gasped and whispered: "I just thought that Li Xiao had such financial resources to form a standing and naval army of such a scale, and it turned out that it was all supported by Jinshan. ”

"Yes, deceive your brother, Shenglai, this is Li Xiao's so-called loyalty! I had known that I had killed him when I was on Kawanakajima. ”

Takeda Nobuyori pushed his ribs away.

Nobuyoru Takeda thought for a moment. Yan said: "That's true, but Li Xiao is a retainer of the Takeda family after all, and he didn't show a trace of disloyalty, in Changxiao, if he has the heart to betray his family, why bother to lead an army thousands of miles to rescue." ”

Takeda Xinfan snorted and said, "Sun Liu, you are too kind, you don't know Li Xiaozhi's intentions. ”

Nobuyoru Takeda stepped forward. Yan said: "Brother, no matter whether Li Xiao has ill intentions or not, but after all, he is a retainer of his own family, and he is deeply favored by two generations of palace lords. If he rebels, then he will inevitably be spurned by the people of the world, and all the retainers of my Takeda family will attack him en masse, and even his retainers will rebel. ”

"As the so-called people's hearts turn back, as long as we occupy the name of righteousness. Why should Li Xiao be afraid? ”

Takeda Nobuhiro squinted at Takeda Nobuyoshi and said, "Sun Liu, are you also here to persuade me to let Nobukatsu take power?" ’

Takeda Shinren shook his head and said: The Li family must not move, otherwise it will inevitably be rebounded by Li Xiaozhi. At that time, it will only force Li Xiao alive, and then there will be a civil war in the family, and finally Maori will seize the world. "I just don't want my brother, I will be wrong again and again, please wake up!"

looked at Takeda Nobuyoshi pleading with tears in his eyes. Takeda Shinhiro also raised his head and said with emotion: "Sun Liu, do you really think that I have changed? Become ruthless, abandon righteousness for your own selfishness, love this position of power? ”

Nobuyoshi Takeda was silent. Takeda Nobuhiro walked to the pane, looked at the snow scene, and said slowly: "Actually, how can I be like this, today I don't even want fame, I am burdened with infamy, this is why, everything I do in Chaoyue is for my family!" ”…,

"For my brother. Takeda, who entrusted me with his life, what is there if he dies and is ruined, just to see each other in Huangquan in the future, I can say a word to the two of them. And now everything I have done, dominating the world, descending Hojo, destroying Oda, all of this is incomprehensible to no one in my own family, saying that I want to usurp the throne, and even you don't trust me. ”

Speaking of this, Takeda Nobuyhiro smiled miserably.

"Brother," Takeda Nobuyoshi said when he saw Takeda Nobuyhiro like this, "I'm sorry, I was wrong." ”

Takeda Shinfan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about commenting now, you will see my hard work in the future." ”

"From now on, let's settle the affairs of the four countries."

Meanwhile.

In the territory of Tanba Kingdom, Li Xiao, Li Zheng, father and son, as well as the 10,000 troops of the Hida Echichu Army, are marching forward in the snow.

They went to Tanba to receive the three kingdoms of Tango, Inba, and Tajima.

Li Xiao rode on the horse, glanced back at Kyoto, and said: "Takeda Chaoyue, it is a bad move to seal the two kingdoms of Inba and Yama to our Li family. ”

"In the future, once the family and the Maori family conflict, this is the front line, and Takeda Chaoyue can sit back and watch the Maori and the family fight to lose."

Li Zheng listened to Li Xiaozhi's words, nodded, and said, "Father, do you think that Takeda Chaoyue wants to seek the position of Lord of the Imperial Pavilion, so he is bent on causing the death of his family?" ”

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "If you want to kill your family, it's for sure, as for ...... Hmph, Takeda Chaoyue said that the four major are empty, this time he will not take one country, but in fact, the largest Yamato country in, and the richest Musashi country, are already in the hands of his two sons. ”

"Is this called selflessness?"

Li Zheng nodded and said, "So I don't believe it either." ”

Li Xiao shook the snow on his cloak and said, "Remember, if you don't move forward with the army in the future, you and I, father and son can't live together, this is a precautionary measure." ”

"Father, I made a note of it." Li Zhengyan said.

"There are also the five countries of, which are no longer under the control of our Li family, so it is very dangerous, but the position of the head of the waiter, we can transfer troops into Kyoto at any time at our convenience, but most of the troops are transferred, which is easy to cause panic among others."

"You will prepare the tiger and the snake tail, and the two will be stationed in Kyoto, remember that once something happens, you will send two reserves to protect yourself, as for the Izumi side, I will say hello to the Hosokawa family, and the country of Tanba, I will also send a soldier and horse, in case of accidents."
