Samurai of the Takeda Family
Chapter 331: Shingen's counterattack
Chapter 331 Xinxuan's Counterattack
In the twelfth year of Yonglu, June.
Tzuzuzaki Hall.
Shingen Takeda, with his hands folded, stood beside the stack of seats with a gloomy face, while sitting on the lower side was his wife, Mrs. Sanjo.
The three wives are now bowing their heads slightly, wiping their tears with silk paws.
Mrs. Sanjo's eyes were red and swollen, and her expression on her face was sad, but she seemed numb to the extreme.
Mrs. Sanjo took a deep look at Takeda Shingen, then sighed bitterly, then stood up, pinched the corners of Wu Fu's clothes with both hands, half-turned and slowly left.
Even in the most sorrowful and indignant, the grace of Gongqing's daughter did not make unreasonable troubles, and did not allow outsiders to easily see her grief.
Seeing Mrs. Sanjo and his maids who had been following from Kyoto leave, Shingen Takeda's lips moved slightly, but he did not speak.
"Is there any cure for the little girl's illness?"
Shingen Takeda turned around and then asked in a deep voice.
The famous physician Nagata Tokumoto, known as "Koshu Tokumoto", said: "Return to Lord Gokan, the villain has indeed done his best. The illness of Liao Ai has arisen out of worry, and she is now entangled in her heart. It is really not a good medicine. Please forgive the Lord Gokan, the villain has done his best."
Takeda Shingen took a deep breath and said, "I see, I have worked hard. Let's get medical money."
"Oh, the villain hasn't fulfilled his duties and dare not receive it."
To this, Takeda Shingen just waved his hand unmotivated.
After Nagata Tokumoto left, Shingen Takeda walked a few steps between the rooms, his face showing a stern look.
Immediately, Shingen Takeda took a few steps, drew the samurai sword from the knife holder, turned around, and severely cut the shoulder rest with a slash.
The inside side heard the noise outside the room and ran out together, but saw that Takeda Shingen was okay, and then he guilty and retreated.
Takeda Shingen looked at the shoulder that was cut in two by a knife, and shouted angrily: "Hojo Shiyasu!"
Takeda Shingen and the eldest daughter of Mrs. Sanjo, Hwangmeiin, were married to the son of the Hojo clan Yasushi due to the agreement of the Jiaxiangjun Three Kingdoms alliance.
Takeda Shingen was very fond of the eldest daughter. When he married the Hojo family, Nobuhiro Oyamada was sent off as the wedding ambassador. The entourage who sent off the marriage alone sent more than 10,000 people. The show is unprecedented in the Takeda family.
After Huangmeiyuan married into Hojo's family, Wenzhi's daughter became pregnant.
On several occasions, Shingen Takeda personally wrote a prayer for the safe production of Huangmeiin Temple at Fuji Omuro Sengen Shrine, the **** of safe production.
After the marriage of Huang Meiyuan, the relationship between the Hojo clan was very harmonious, and he successively gave birth to the Hojo clan (the future head of the five generations of the Hojo clan), and later clan, Naoju, and Daeding.
But because of the break of the Three Kingdoms alliance this time, the Hojo Takeda clan went to war.
Hojo's Kangle divorced his son Hojo's Masa and Huangmeiyuan.
Although Hojo Clan was the head of the family, he did not dare to refuse to his father, who actually had the power, and could only send Huangmeiyuan back to Kai with tears.
After Huangmeiyuan returned to Jiafei, she immediately became a nun, but she missed her husband and son day and night.
(Historically, Huangmeiyuan was in the 12th year of Yonglu. He died of illness on June 17, at the age of 27.)
At present, Nagata Tokumoto has already stated to Takeda Shingen that Hwangmeiin has only a few days to live, and Mrs. Sanjo just lost her eldest son Yoshinobu last year. This year her eldest daughter Hwangmeiin died of illness, and her emotions are out of control. Xin Xuan went crazy.
Shingen Takeda also knows that he owes a lot to Mrs. Sanjo and his eldest son and daughter, and he feels guilty.
And now he puts all this anger on the culprit who killed his daughter Yasushi Hojo.
"Immediately let Baba, Naito, and Katsuyori come to see me." Takeda Shingen categorically told Xiao surname.
After walking to the main hall, Shingen Takeda's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he sat on the main seat. The racecourse, Naito, and Katsurai had all arrived.
Shingen Takeda said in a deep voice: "It has been a month since I returned to the Imagawa family to attack the Hojo family. The Hojo family stole the power of our attacking Suruga. On the contrary, in Toe, Suruga garrisoned. How can I let the territories laid down by hard work be handed over to Shiyao. So I decided to send troops again to fight the Hojo family."
After hearing the words, the Machang Xinfang said: "The lord, before the Hojo clan had to retreat to Sagami, he had already arranged arrangements in the Imagawa family. There are heavy guards in Suruga and Toge. If we attack these two places, our army may There is a hard fight."
Takeda Masaru said: "My father, at the moment Uesugi Teruhu gathers 20,000 troops to attack Yuezhong. The front line of Yuezhong is tight. With Li Xiao's current strength, it is absolutely impossible to support it. Will we strengthen Yuezhong first and force Uesugi to retreat? Army, go back to clean up Hojo's house."
"No," Takeda Shingen said categorically, "I admit that Yuezhong is very important to the family, but it is far less than Suruga and Toge. Li Xiao's battle in Yuezhong just contained the Uesugi army, and the family’s The strategic goal is Tokaido, this is definitely not easier"
Listening to Takeda Shingen's words, Takeda Katsuyori only said yes.
Shingen Takeda turned to look at Baba Nobuya and said, "I had a plan to capture Hojo's family. Didn't Shiyao want to occupy Suruga and Toe? I'll give it to him. His army is stationed outside, and the mainland must be empty. This time I went straight to Mount Fuji and attacked Izu and Sagami, the skill of the Hojo clan. If Hojo Clan doesn’t transfer Suruga’s soldiers back to aid, then I will take Odawara in one breath."
When Shingen Takeda spoke like this, Baba, Naito, and Katsuyori looked at each other for a while.
Machang Xinfang showed admiration, and said first: "Master, whether this strategy will be successful, the subordinates don't know, but the Hojo clan will be caught off guard. The Hojo family is in trouble."
Shingen Takeda nodded slowly and said, "Hojo's Yasushi would never expect it, and we have another advantage, which is the location of Kai. Kai is the place where my Takeda family started. After I mobilized troops in the museum, I went abroad. Suruga, Toe, Izu, and Sagami are all under my Shingen's front and can be attacked easily. So Yasushi Hojo can't guess the movement of our army in advance, so he can make arrangements in advance."
"The Uesugi's strategy is different. It takes a long time to travel from Uesakikan to Kawanakajima, and it is easy to become a tired soldier. My Takeda family is not the Oda family. Unless I have the courage of Nobunaga to move this city from Kai leads to Shinano and shortens the attack distance, otherwise he will have to mobilize to fight north. For Kai, it will be quite unfavorable for the long term. This is why I focused on the Tokaido attack this time. Imagawa family was too strong to start. , But now it's vulnerable, and it has become a place for me to gain momentum."
After listening to Takeda Shingen's analysis, all three nodded.
The same is true. If Xinxuan is to reinforce Vietnam, it will be inconvenient to turn around in the middle of a long journey, which is indeed disadvantageous. Moreover, even Xinxuan himself had never expected that Li Xiao alone would be able to gain a firm foothold in Yuezhong without any help from his family.
For the Takeda family’s grand strategy, Vietnam is too far away from Kai, and it only serves to contain the Uesugi family.
On the other hand, it is much more convenient to attack Tokaido. The Takeda family can mobilize forces from Kai on the spot. After that, Shingen will directly go out from the Tsuzakikan. Toe, Suruga, Sagami, Izu and Shikoku are also in the front of the Takeda family. Down.
After Shingen analyzed this way, the three of them were convinced, and now they discussed the matter of attacking the Hojo family.
At this time, the outside of the door reported to him: "Report to the lord, Li Xiao, send someone from Vietnam to China to send an urgent letter."
"Oh? It's Li Xiao." Shingen Takeda frowned. Obviously, he had just talked about him, and now Li Xiao sent someone an urgent letter.
After hearing the arrival of Li Xiao’s messenger, the head of the horse farm sighed and said: “Now Yuezhong is being attacked by the Uesugi family. Li Xiao must be powerless to fight on his own. After the confrontation, he should have sent a letter to ask for help from his family. ."
After hearing what the horse farm said, Katsurai and Naito nodded their heads, and they all had the same views as the horse farm.
But for Li Xiao’s request for help, Shingen Takeda has already made it very clear. The Takeda family is now focusing on the strategy of the Tokaido, and he is simply unable to support Li Xiao, who is as far away as China.
The three of them had a good relationship with Li Xiao, and they couldn't help worrying about Li Xiao right now.
At this time, Naito Masahiro said: "Maybe you don’t need to send troops to Yuezhong, you can order Kosaka and Asari, lead the Kita-Shinano and Nishiteno army, and put pressure on Echigo. This can more or less explain Li Xiao’s role in Yuezhong. Dangerous situation."
Shingen Takeda was silent about this, but asked to bring Courier Li Xiao inside.
Immediately, Li Xiao's messenger presented Li Xiao's letter to Takeda Shingen.
After taking a letter, Takeda Shingen looked at it at a glance, and all three of them looked worried and wanted to know how the battle in Yuezhong was going.
After reading the letter, Takeda Shingen put the letter paper in his hand, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, put his fingers on his knees and flicked slowly, but a smile appeared on his face.
The three of them didn't understand the meaning of Takeda Shingen's smile, and even more speculated.
At this time, Shingen Takeda opened his eyes and said with a loud smile: "It's really Li Xiao. It's really rare to find another way to deal with things. Shingen I didn't misunderstand the wrong person."
Having said this, Takeda Shingen looked at the messenger and said: "Go back and report to your Patriarch, and I will take care of the things on the letter, and let him support it for at least three more months, and protect the country for my Takeda family. ."
"Oh" after the messenger bowed down, he immediately withdrew.
The racecourse, Naito, and Katsurai are even more curious about what Li Xiao wrote to Shingen~lightnovelpub.net~Yonglu 12th year, June 2nd.
Takeda Shingen came out from the Tsuzakikan, led an army of 18,000, and attacked Suruga for the second time.
The Takeda family came out of Gotemba next to Mount Fuji, first entered Suruga, and then turned into Izu country.
Under the leadership of Takeda Shingen himself, the Takeda family first conquered Omiya Castle, which was previously unsuccessful twice.
After that, the Takeda Army went on a fierce offensive, conquering Hojo's fifteen cities all the way, and defeated Hojo's fourth son of Hojo Clan at Nirayama Castle.
The entire Izu country was swept away under Takeda Shingen's offensive for a while.
The Hojo family heard that Takeda Shingen did not go to Suruga, but instead entered the Hojo family's skills, which was shocked for a while.
Hojo's Yasushi hurriedly assembled his army from Odawara to prepare for Shingen to fight to the death.
At the same time, the war between Vietnam and China is about to break out. . ..
