Samurai of the Takeda Family
Chapter 254: Masuyama Castle
The tens of thousands of stones in the Shenbao family were only given to Li Xiao two thousand stones. (Please keep in mind)
This can be regarded as a donation from Hongan Temple to Li Xiao. In other words, you are pitiful, I eat meat and I will share your soup and drink at will.
This is an insult to Li Xiao.
When Xuanzong of Hongan Temple said this indifferently, he looked at Li Xiao himself indifferently and didn't seem to care. What he meant was that he still expected Li Xiao to refuse, so that he would not divide anything.
Although Li Xiao wished to smash Xuanzong's old bone with a fist in his heart, he could not turn his face. In the current situation, Li Xiao was in the stage of holding the thigh of Hongwan Temple.
Therefore, we must watch their faces and act, otherwise we don't talk about Hongan Temple. As long as they give up support for themselves and don't need Uesugi family to do anything, the strength of Jinbao family is enough to destroy themselves.
And Xuanzong of Hongwan Temple is indeed not an easy person, he just calculated that Li Xiao didn't dare to turn his face now and put forward such harsh conditions.
So after some negotiations, the two sides spent a lot of talk, Xuanzong reluctantly agreed to give Li Xiao three thousand shi high after the war, which is a thousand higher than the original two thousand shi high.
Li Xiao did not agree or refuse at the time. He only took his retainers to withdraw from the military account where Xuanzong was located, and declared that he would give Hongan Temple a reply tomorrow.
Two thousand shi, three thousand shi, for Li Xiao who also wanted to get involved in the whole Yue, there was no difference at all.
"Shengxing Temple, Ruiquan Temple wants to annex the entire Yue with its own strength. I don't know if they have such a good mouth."
In the military account, Li Xiao said so.
At this time, Koichiro Kinoshita said: "Master, Xuanzong's meaning is very clear right now. If we don't cooperate with him, we won't even be able to seal the territory of these three thousand stones."
Ben Duo Zhengxin, who has always advocated an alliance with Yixiangzong, also stood up at this time and said: "Master, Lord Kinoshita is right. We absolutely cannot agree to Master Xuanzong's proposal."
"It's better to write a letter to Lord Gokan as an arbitration, and listen to his instructions." Xiaoxian Xiaoxian suggested.
Li Xiao shook his head and said, "Impossible. The Takeda family now maintains Shinano and Ueno's offensive. It is already very difficult. Before Minowa Castle is captured, Gokan-sama will never intervene. Before that, he I have been granted the power to make decisions on all matters and temporarily arbitrarily. Now we can only rely on ourselves, and it is impossible to hope for the help of the Takeda family."
When Li Xiao said so, Koichiro Kinoshita and the others were frustrated.
Xiaoxian Oba suddenly said: "The lord, in those days, it was a big name for the Ouchi family, and the Nizi family fought for the hegemony in the West, and both suffered. Dao, become the overlord of the Western country."
"The situation is exactly the same now. Hongan Temple and Uesugi family are fighting each other. Comparing Ouchi and Nizi family, why not imitate the story of the rise of Maori and rule the roost in Hokuriku."
Xiaoxian Xiaoba's words were like a stone that stirred up waves, and the retainers were full of hearts.
Li Xiao glanced at Xiaoban Xiaoxian, and knew what he meant. At this time, Ranwen Novel.com had to take advantage of its strength to repeatedly travel between Uesugi's family, once to each other, and between the two families, and finally rise again in one fell swoop.
The same was true for Maori Yuan back then.
At the moment Hongan Temple is neglecting Li Xiao's side, why didn't Li Xiao switch to Uesugi Kenshin, and reached a certain tacit understanding with Uesugi family, after defeating Hongan Temple, he would profit from chaos.
Xiaoxian Xiaoba's words are not clear, but the meaning is very clear, but because of Li Xiao's views, he did not speak nakedly.
After all, the Uesugi clan is still the enemy of the Takeda clan at the moment, and once his remarks are confirmed, he is accused of collaborating with the enemy.
This shows that Xiaoxian Xiaoba is still cautious.
Not only that, Li Xiao's strategy of Xiaoban Xiaoxian also took a good look. Those who can say such things indicate that he has gradually gained his own insights in strategy.
However, Li Xiao reconsidered Xiaoman Xiaoxian's opinion and shook his head slightly. Xiaoman Xiaoxian's knowledge was still not enough.
He is too shank and has always been a sect. If everyone is so easy to use, then there will be more than one Maori yuan in the troubled times of the Warring States period.
At this time, Honda Masanobu had already given a serious reply to Xiaoxian Obata. He said: "Master Obata, what a good point is, but the Jinbao family, Shiina family and the like, they don’t want to be like this. Yixiangzong, Uesugi family When the Lord is not a stupid person, he will not use it for them casually."
"Furthermore, if we let Yixiangzong, the Uesugi family see through our attempt to take advantage of these two families, the first thing they want to eradicate is their own family. The Ming Dynasty's sentence is that the fire takes the chestnut, but it is often the case, and it is easier to get burnt."
After listening to the words of Bendo Masabe, Oba Xiaoxian did not say a word for a while, so he stepped aside and said nothing.
"But we can't do this, just let it be at the mercy of Honganji. Three thousand stone high is what it is, once the more it is swallowed by Honganji, we will never get ahead." Koichiro Kinoshita expressed his opinion. Standing on the side of Xiaoxian Xiaoba.
The views of the retainers were at odds and disputes, Koichiro Kinoshita, and Akira Kobata advocate turning their faces at Honganji and moving closer to the Uesugi family.
And Honda Masanori advocates continuing to negotiate at Hongan Temple and strive for results.
Seeing that the two sides immediately turned from a dispute to a big quarrel.
Dao Sheng Meng said loudly: "You don't need to say any more, how to reply to Xuanzong of Hongwan Temple, and finally I will ask the Lord to publicize it."
After Dao Shengmeng finished speaking, the retainers stopped talking and listened to Li Xiao's judgment.
In fact, Li Xiao looked at his retainers. At this time, Ranwen.com, they must set a decisive example by themselves to lead the retainers to a clear direction.
But for Li Xiao at the moment, it is also very difficult to make a decision.
Take the three heroes of the Warring States Period, they are in their own situation, what should they do?
Do you follow the example of Oda Nobunaga and gain momentum? It is estimated that it will be very difficult to try to fight the narrow battle again.
Following the example of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he took advantage of the power and used his power to find the source of both sides, but this also said that the source of the left and right depends on the occasion. Uesugi, Yixiangzong is not the one to be fooled.
Following the example of Tokugawa Ieyasu, taking a prudent approach, and making decisions that do not exceed his own limits, then he can only continue to adhere to Hongan Temple, or he can withdraw his troops home and sit on the sidelines.
Li Xiao shook his head, this was just a guess.
Just as Li Xiao was about to speak out, outside the military account, a samurai reported: "Master, just got the secret report from the ninja, Uesugi Teruhu has been out in the mountain city of Kasuga and is coming straight to the mountain city of Yuezeng."
Hearing that this samurai said that the army accounted, everyone was shocked.
Uesugi Teruhu unexpectedly went ahead.
The Jinbao family is now besieged in Zengshan City, plus the Shiina family that has been deployed outside Zengshan City, the more powerful people, the Hongan Temple, and the Uesugi family are going to hold a big battle in Zengshan City?
"How much military force Uesugi Kenshin will fight?"
"Not much, it's only about three thousand or less."
Everyone was immediately surprised when they heard this.
Shima Katsu shook his head fiercely, and said: "It's ridiculous. Kenshin Uesugi only has an army of less than three thousand. Do you want to force the 80,000 army of Hongan Temple?"
"In my opinion, Kenshin Uesugi came to integrate the Yue forces. He provoked this head with his personal prestige. He gathers the powerful forces of Shiina, Kikuchi, and Ishiguro to attack Hongan Temple in one fell swoop." Masanobu Honda slowed down. Indigenously.
"Report to the lord."
Another samurai advanced forward to report, saying: "Master, the Uesugi family's army is expected to pass through the weather in the afternoon, and the Uesugi family has already sent out a letter to Zengshan City to the rich and powerful people in Vietnam. Many tycoons responded."
Rishu is one of Uesugi's seven exemptions granted by Yoshiki Ashikaga to Uesugi Kenshin. The Rishu issued under the Kanto governorship is equivalent to the general's imperial commander.
The crowd gathered on the topographic map of Yueyi place and watched it for a long time.
Li Xiao smiled slightly and asked: "If everyone said, in this battle, the Hongan Temple and Uesugi's decisive battle, which side will win?"
"Uesugi Teruto has crossed the Northland and has been undefeated so far. However, this time there has always been a large number of people, with a full force of 80,000. Uesugi Teruto seems to be too underestimating the enemy. In addition to his own headquarters, relying on the more powerful clan , It’s hard to fight hard." Kinoshita Koichiro said aloud.
Shima Katsu hummed, and said: "No matter how the Uesugi family and Honganji's decisive battle, it is the biggest battle in Hokuriku in 20 years. The result of this battle will directly affect the pattern of Hokuriku."
"Yes, in the decisive battle between Uesugi family and Honganji, I don't know who wins and who loses, but at the moment I have made the decision," Li Xiao smiled slightly and said to the ministers and said confidently, "Uesugi Teruho this time Sending troops, God is really helping me. My decision is not to answer Xuanzong for the time being. We retreat to the side, sit and watch the outcome of this battle, and then make a conclusion."
Under Zengshan City, the army has always been accounted for.
Xuanzong of Hongwan Temple held a rosary, looked at the monk who returned, and asked in amazement: "You mean Li Xiao, has retired?"
"Yes, Master Li Xiao said, he didn't know how to decide for a while, so he could only report the matter of whether to agree to the conditions and report it to Lord Takeda Ozan and let him show it."
Hongan Temple Xuanzong heard the monk's reply, and his two white eyebrows wrinkled slightly and said: "This Li Xiao is lying. As far as I know, Shingen Takeda has granted Hokuriku temporary discretionary power to Li Xiao and asked him to act as a temporary dictator. Serving as the commander-in-chief of the Vietnam Army is unreasonable and still hesitating."
Xuanzong of Hongwan Temple peeled his rosary with his fingers, closed his eyes for a while, and suddenly opened his eyes, saying, "I guess Li Xiao is not an indecisive person. He should have seen the situation very clearly. Yes, other than relying on my Shengxing Temple, he has no other way in Yue. If he hesitates, there must be some change in the situation."
"In my opinion, something has happened to the Uesugi family. If it wasn't for Uesugi Huihu to send troops, or Li Xiao was ready to collude with Uesugi's family, and then find the right opportunity to turn back, haven't the monks who went to Echigo to collect information yet come back?"
"Not yet." The monk replied.
"Brother Xuanzong, don't send people anymore, Uesugi Huihu has sent troops from Spring Mountain City yesterday."
Xuanzong of Hongan Temple looked out of the account, only to see the Kaga Kokubo official Xia Ma Laizhao and his son Xia Ma Zhongxiao, slowly entering the military account.
Xia Jian Lai Zhao looked at Xuan Zong of Hongan Temple, first made an inquiry with his hands folded, and said: "Amitabha, brother, please forgive me, I just walked out of the door at Xia Shi, not intending to listen."
Xuanzong of Hongan Temple also returned the salute and smiled slightly: "The next brother, I came here just right. This time I also want to thank Jiahe Tongmen, for the sake of the same clan, I rushed to Vietnam to help me promote the Dharma of Master Dharma, but I don’t know. When did the news of the same door in Kaga know so well, I still get the information before my Shengxing Temple."
Xia Laizhao still had a calm smile on his face when Xuanzong Xuanzang of Hongan Temple said that he had hidden needles in Mianli. He said: "Brother, this is just a coincidence. Right now I am concerned about how to deal with Kenshin Uesugi. As far as I know, he does this. There were not many troops in the first battle."
"How many?"
"Less than three thousand."
Hearing Xia Ma Laizhao’s reply, Hongan Temple Xuanzong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said indifferently: “Uesugi Teruto has too much self-esteem. He thought he was Asakura Sect. Sichuan together."
When Xuanzong of Hongan Temple said so, Xia Ma Laizhao's face changed, and the battle of Toulongchuan was a nightmare for the disciples of Kaga Yixiangzong.
When Xuanzong of Hongwan Temple mentioned this time, he didn't give them face.
Next, Lai Zhao reunited, saying: "The two sides lost a lot in the Longchuan battle that year, so please be cautious, brother, the more I have no other intentions, I retired."
After speaking, Lai Zhao brushed his monk's robe, and walked out of the military tent with Xia Zhong Xiao.
Hongan Temple Xuanzong looked at the figure of Laizhao Xiajian walking out of the camp, and was silent for a while. The monk on the side said: "The abbot seems to be prejudiced against Master Xiajian. I look at Master Xiajian, sincerely. I want to help each other this time.
Hongan Temple Xuanzong smiled, slowly wrapped the rosary around his wrist, and said: "You are wrong. You can't just listen to what the other party says and judge. Kaga II Temple has always planned to integrate me, and then go down. Lai Zhao is the reason, this person must be guarded."
"Yes, the abbot, how should the Takeda family respond?"
Hongan Temple Xuanzong squinted his eyes and seemed to recall for a while, saying: "This person Li Xiao, although I only met today, he has left a deep impression on me. This person will never be able to do it now. Limited. Thinking of what he did in the past, I regret it a little bit at the moment. I have neglected him before."
"Even if we win the victory, this person must not be offended, otherwise it will be a major problem for my Hongan Temple in the future, not to mention this time Uesugi Huihu attacked ~lightnovelpub.net~ I just need to rely on his power. This person is as true as he believes. As I said before, it is rare in the world who can fight Uesugi Terutora. So..."
Hongan Temple Xuanzong paused and said in a serious tone: "Change the previous conditions, change three thousand stones to five thousand stones, and see how Li Xiao reacted. One more condition is that if Li Xiaoken converts to my pure land faith, I will implore the Dharma master to invite the emperor, so that he will become the monk of my sect."
"Seng Zheng?" The monk officer said in amazement, "Abbot, is this request too generous, Li Xiao, rely on him to have more than a thousand troops."
Hongan Temple Xuanzong smiled slightly, and said: "Send him a name but no real monk position, what's wrong? So you don't need to give him knowledge and action on the ground, not only wins this person, but doesn't give him the opportunity to grow his power, it will kill two birds with one stone."
After hearing the words of Xuanzong of Hongan Temple, the monk immediately admired the words: "The abbot is so foresighted, I really admire, I will answer this Li Xiao now."
After the monk officer retired, Xuanzong of Hongwan Temple walked out of the tent, looked at Zengshan City towering high on the mountain, and said to the monks from all over the world: "I have passed on from generation to generation under the ruler of the Dharma, and the disciples of all parties have gathered. Shancheng, wiped out the post of the Buddha, the enemy and the deity, in one fell swoop."
