Chapter 373 The Aspiration of Shangluo

A.D. 1573, Yuangui three years, the first month.

It has been more than a year since Takeda Uesugi’s sixth battle on Kawanakajima.

In Kai Kazaki Hall, it is a snowy scene.

In this building, the roof is covered with thick snow.

In the courtyard, a plum blossoming, quietly fragrant.

In the room, Li Zheng was looking at the blooming plum huā, and two shìnv were carefully dressing shì Li Zheng and dressing for him.

Li Zheng dressed very formally today. He was dressed in a brand new light blue sè Yuori with a horse riding cross under him. He was already dressed as a standard samurai.

Li Zheng is ten years old this year. In the Warring States Period in Japan, a ten-year-old boy is almost a small adult in this era.

For example, the Tokugawa family took the twelve-year-old Naruto with Tada Tada, and won the first rank in the first battle.

However, the time for Li Zhengyuan to serve was a little earlier. For no other reason, it was Takeda Shingen, who had been suffering from illnesses all the time. He hoped to see Li Zheng and his nv son Ju Ji get married soon, so he ordered Li Zheng to count ahead. Year Yuan service.

As a samurai, after Yuanfu, it means two things. One is going to the battlefield, which is the first battle of the samurai career, and the other is naturally getting a wife.

However, as Li Xiao’s son, Li Zheng’s father was famous for his outstanding military exploits. Moreover, Li Xiaozheng was in his prime, so no one had expected Li Zheng to go into battle.

However, his marriage is of great significance.

The marriage of Li Zheng and Ju Ji means that the Li family has officially become a member of the Takeda family.

At a young age, Li Zhengyi married the Genji mén Takeda family, and Takeda Shingen's nv was his wife, which was enough to make the samurai of the Takeda family envy.

However, Li Zheng does not have a happy God at this moment. For his age, it seems that it is still difficult to realize what marriage means.

Seeing the winter plum blooming in the snow, Li Zheng couldn't help humming slightly.

"Young Master, don't move, the clothes are not ready yet?"

Shìnv quickly said.

Li Zheng broke away from the shìnv and said, "Forget it, forget it, this dress makes me uncomfortable, I won't wear it anymore."

When the two shìnv heard what Li Zheng said, they hurriedly said: "You must not be a young master. Today is different. You need to wear this body. Go to the main hall and see the imperial palace. Don't neglect the etiquette."

Li Zheng said with a hum, "Is there any good to pay respects, I won't marry Juji? She is stingy and unrestrained, with a fierce temper, so I don't want to live with her forever."

Hearing Li Zheng's words, the two shìnv's faces became pale with a sigh, and they quickly said: "Young Master, you can't luàn these words."

Just when Li Zhenghua finished speaking, the paper pulled mén and pushed and pulled away, and two nv boys wearing ngzhi Wufu came in.

When Li Zhengda saw the two of them, his face suddenly stiffened, and he said in a daze: "My mother...Mrs. Youchuan."

What Li Zheng said just now, Oba Yumi naturally heard clearly outside the mén, and he was so angry that he didn't hit a single place, and shouted: "Li Zheng, you don’t need to be stubborn on weekdays. To this day, you have already taken it all, and said Without this responsibility, is it worthy to be a samurai? Where is the consciousness of inheriting the family business in the future?"

When Mrs. Yukawa saw Li Zheng being blamed, she smiled slightly and said to Oba Yumi: “You don’t need to be so harsh. Li Zheng and Juhime have known each other since they were young, and it is common for them to beat and scold each other. If he is a bit more sensible, he will understand the truth."

Yumi Ohata respectfully said: "Madam, I know Masaji's temper, and he needs to be disciplined strictly, otherwise he will be out of control for a while."

Mrs. Youchuan smiled and said: "Is Zheng'er being disciplined by you since he was a child? It's not that he is more in charge, he is more in charge, that's all, he has grown up since he has become a man, and everything has his own judgment. , Let him go."

After speaking, Mrs. Yukawa stepped forward and took Li Zhengzhi's hand and said: "Today is an important day to meet Lord Gokan. Whether you want to marry Kikuhime or not, you must never lose the etiquette. This is what a samurai should do. "

Li Zheng heard what Mrs. Yuchuan said and nodded immediately.

And Yumi Obata also watched from the side, and said to her heart that Mrs. Yukawa is not a simple nv person. After Mrs. Sanjo died of illness two years ago, she is now the most favored nv person next to Gokan-sama. In addition to mothers and children, she is expensive. There is also her uniqueness.

After a while, he walked in the hall of Sakikan.

Takeda Shingen wears a loose robe and sits on a stack of mats. Since he fell ill on Chuanakajima a year ago, Takeda Shingen has been raising him for a year.

Shingen Takeda is more old now, not because he is very thin, and his daily appetite is not as good as in the past.

At the moment, everyone knows that Xinxuan's physical strength is worse than before, and it is about to run out of oil.

But today, Shingen Takeda is very good. He smiled on his wrinkled face and looked at Li Zheng and Ju Ji who were playing in the courtyard with a kind look. He laughed from time to time.

Seeing that Shingen Takeda was so good, Mrs. Yukawa also expressed relief on her face.

Shingen Takeda turned his head to Yumi Ohata, saying: "The marriage of Li Zheng and Ju Ji will be scheduled for March this year. Well, March is a good season. Chun is warm and huā is open. Choose a day when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Bar."

Yumi Ohata said immediately: "Everything depends on the words of Lord Gokan."

Takeda Shingen smiled slightly and said: "That's it. Unfortunately, Li Xiaoyuan is in Yuezhong, and he is in a position to defend against Echigo and attack Sado. He can't do it for a while. Without him coming back, Li Zheng should be a little regretful."

Yumi Ohata said: "The husband serves the lord, so naturally he dare not neglect it. Li Zhengneng is lucky to have the marriage given by the lord, so I can't ask for anything else."

Shingen Takeda nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat your Li family sparingly. In the previous year's Sichuan Nakajima battle, if it were not for Li Xiao to lead the army halfway to help, my Takeda family luck would end here. Send a message to Li Xiao on my behalf. As long as he continues to work faithfully, the day when his Japanese dominance is established, the Li family will be the first minister of my Takeda family."

Obata Yumi said: "The concubine as a husband thanked Lord Gokan for his grace."

Shingen Takeda turned his head to look at Li Zheng and Juhime who were fighting, with a gentle smile on his face, thinking: After Li Zheng and Juhime get married this year, I can fulfill my lifelong wish. Oda Nobunaga does not respect Buddhism. Last year he burned Mount Hiei, slaughtered the monks, and committed the wrath of heaven. If I did the Shangluo incident this time, it would be a fair word. I erected the banner of Takeda Hiroshima to Kyoto to complete my life. His ambition, otherwise...otherwise, I can’t wait.

Just as Takeda Shingen was thinking about it, suddenly Sane Moriyu came in and reported: "Master, Kenshin Uesugi left Kanto and led the army to enter Stable Bridge City again, preparing to attack the Hojo clan. The Hojo clan sent people to ask us for help, and I hope my clan Get out of the field and flank the Shangshan army."

Yuezhong, Toyama Castle.

Li Xiao stood in front of the Northern Land Map with his hands under his shoulder, staring at him.

Two resourceful figures under Li Xiao's command, Masanobu Honda and Minami Usa, stand behind Li Xiao.

Li Xiao's gaze first looked at Wakasa Country and Echizen Country, which is the closest to Kinki in Hokuriku.

In June of last year, after facing the burning of Mount Hiei, the invincible Oda Nobunaga, the Asakura family and Honganji, a pair of decades-old rivals, reached a peace.

Asakura family chief Asakura Yoshiki married nv'er to Honganji's son, Honganji, and the two became in-laws.

However, the harmony between the Asakura family and the Honganji family did not reverse the strategic situation of the Oda family.

The Asakura-Asai Alliance was suppressed by the Odas on the front battlefield, and Honganji was also besieged by the Odas in the area around Nagashima.

At present, the Honganji forces in Kaga Etsuchu have begun to show their favor to Li Xiao, and they seem to have a foreboding that under the offensive of the Oda family's gust of wind and raging waves, once the Asakura Asai family fails, the next one to suffer will be Kaga Etsuchu.

However, the situation in Noto is still very húnluàn, and the former retainers of the Hatyama clan continue to fight inwardly. Under this circumstance, there will be no threat to Li Xiaoyuezhong at all.

In this húnluàn situation, even if Li Xiao wins over two-thirds of the Hatoyama family's navy and continues to reunite, Yuzuo Suguang, Onjing Jinglong and others dare not have any opinions.

Right now, Li Xiao, who was entrenched in Yuezhong, actually destroyed the Shiina family after invading Echihou the year before, and brought Shincheon, the largest of the four counties of Yuezhong, into his territory.

Among the four counties of Yuezhong, in addition to the county where the Yuezhong Hongan Temple is occupied, three counties have been taken.

In addition, Hida, the land of Shinano Prefecture, Li Xiaofei’s Viet Chuen Army Corps, has nearly 400,000 stones under its jurisdiction, and its standing staff plus the wealthy clan, its maximum mobilization force can reach nearly 20,000.

Therefore, with Li Xiao's current power, even if Uesugi Kenshin was not sure enough, he did not dare to easily go to war against Yuezhong.

After the sixth battle of Kawanakajima in the previous year, although the main force of the Takeda army facing the battle suffered a lot, the Uesugi family completely lost their foothold in Etchu. At the same time, in the territory of Higashi Ueno, it was also taken by the Sanada family. The forces invaded.

Uesugi Kenshin's Kawasaki Island decisive battle, it can be said that he won the tactics, but lost the strategy.

On the contrary, after Li Xiao won Xinchuan County, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com ordered Hidenaga Kinoshita to be the castle generation of Matsura Castle, assisted by Shigeji Takenaka, and used Matsura Castle and its branch network as a defense support point against the Uesugi family.

During the whole year of last year, Li Xiao ordered Kinoshita to do one thing repeatedly.

The focus is on the construction of Haijin City and Tianshen Mountain City's first-line defense. In addition to strengthening the city, it also expanded to accommodate more soldiers, and Li Xiao also lavishly equipped a large tube on the head of the city as a defense weapon.

Li Xiao's goal is to use Matsukura Castle and Haijin Castle as a barrier for Hidenaga Kinoshita, and Kenshin Uesugi from Echigo to the middle of the battle.

Now that this line of defense has been completed, Li Xiao can calmly take action and prepare for Takeda Shingen's Shangluo this year to pave the way for a decisive battle between the Takeda family and the Oda family.

Before that, however, Li Xiao had to order Mukai Masatsuna and Chiga Sun Bingwei's newly formed Viet Chong Water Army to prepare for the battle against Sado Kingdom.

There is no other way. Matsakura Jinshan from Shiina's family was taken by Takeda Shingen and taken into the country.

So Li Xiao had no choice but to make up Sado Jinshan's idea. . ..
