- Within Meinong, it is only ten miles away from the Northern City.
Halfway up the hill, an ashigaru with a trefoil flag on his back stood in a formation with a gun.
"So it's the Major General of the Konoe who sent troops to rescue Heihachi?"
Under a flag that says "We are tired of leaving the filthy land, and we are happy to seek the pure land."
Tokugawa Ieyasu, well-dressed and holding a folding fan, asked a samurai who was kneeling on one knee.
"Reporting to my lord, it is exactly like this. The Major General of the Konoe not only saved Lord Honda, but also repelled the attack of 40,000 Oda troops and lifted the siege of the northern city."
Hearing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu folded his folding fan and sat back on the horse, his eyes widened, and he said in deep thought: "He is indeed the most powerful general after Shingen-gong and Kenshin-gong, and he is worthy of the title of Major General of the Konoe. I am not as good as him." .¡±
Beside Tokugawa Ieyasu, the always arrogant Mikawa generals heard that their lord commented on Li Xiao, and no one raised a voice to object at this time.
In the Battle of Nagashino, everyone in the Tokugawa Army saw the power of the Hida Echu Army, and even now they still have lingering fears when they think about it.
What¡¯s more, Li Xiao also led his army to rescue Honda Tadakatsu from the encirclement of the Oda army. This is a fact that everyone in the Tokugawa army felt Li Xiao¡¯s kindness.
They were waiting for the Tokugawa generals to discuss the matter of repelling Oda's 40,000 troops for Li Xiao and rescuing Honda Tadakatsu.
At this time, the main samurai of this formation reported to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "The envoy of the Takeda family wants to see you."
An envoy of the Takeda family with a centipede stuck in his head, accompanied by two Hatamoto of the Tokugawa family, came to Tokugawa Ieyasu. He said: "I have been ordered by Lord Chao Yue to report military information to His Highness Sanhe."
Tokugawa Ieyasu sat on the horse, raised his hand and said: "Please speak."
The envoy said: "Although it has been raining for days, our army has just crossed the mountains of Dongmeinong. Chao Yue Gong has been running non-stop and hastened to come here. Before that, I would like to ask His Highness Mikawa to support the situation. Defend the northern city."
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded and asked: "Where has Takeda's main force gone?"
Shi Fan replied: "We have arrived at Daqiu Su."
"Da Qiujuku?" Tokugawa Ieyasu heard this and said, "It will take three days to arrive, which is one day later than scheduled."
The generals of the Tokugawa family were in an uproar.
The general of the Tokugawa family, Yasumasa Sakakibara, said angrily: "Don't you know, Lord Sozuki, that the main force of the Oda army is about to be assembled in Ogaki Castle. If the Oda army attacks, three days later, please ask Lord Sozuki. When you arrive, collect the bodies for us!"
"Kang Zheng, don't be rude!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately reprimanded Sakakakihara Yasumasa, turned to the envoy, and said: "What Lord Chaogetsu means. I already understand that our Tokugawa family will definitely defend the northern city, but the current military situation is raging, please return to Chao Lord Yue, I hope you can speed up your march."
The generals of the Tokugawa family saw Tokugawa Ieyasu speaking to his envoy in such a gentle manner. They all looked like they were hanging their feet and stretching their chests.
After the Takeda family envoys retreated, Tokugawa Ieyasu said to the generals: "What's the point of getting angry at what has already happened? Remember that as a samurai, you should treat anger as an enemy!"
The generals of Mikawa listened to Tokugawa Ieyasu's reprimand. They all lowered their heads.
On the side, Tokugawa Ieyasu's confidant, Okubo Shitada said: "My lord, it's not that we are afraid of death, we are just afraid of meaningless death. Although Takeda Sozuki's actions are excusable, I always feel that he is taking advantage of us. Such a daimyo's military strength. How can we be willing to fight against the Oda family and sacrifice our lives for such people?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Okubo Seitada and said: "Takeda Sozuki cannot be such a short-sighted person, not to mention that there is also the Takeda family's Ueno Army, Hida Etsuchu Army, and Suruga Army here. Is it possible that Takeda Sozuki wants to We will only be willing to destroy these three legions together.¡±
Okubo Sechuan said: "My lord, maybe Takeda Sozuki has long been worried about his good intentions. Whether it is the Konoe Major General or Sanada Anfang Mamoru, I heard that Takeda Sozuki has long regarded him as a thorn in his side. I wonder if he can use the hands of the Oda family to seduce us." Get rid of them all.¡±
Listening to Okubo Setada's words, Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded slightly and said: "Yes, Setada's words are very reasonable. I will never risk the lives of our Mikawa people to pave the way for Takeda Sozuki, so our army will rush there immediately Northern City, listen to the opinions of the Major General of the Guards and advance and retreat together with him."
When all the generals heard this, they all said "oh" and had no objections to this decision.
Just when Tokugawa Ieyasu decided to lead the Mikawa Army to move closer to Li Xiao.
On the other hand, Satake Yoshige, who was following the Mikawa Army, also received a letter from the ninjas at the same time. He learned that the main force of the Takeda Army, which was coming along the Nakasen Road, suddenly stopped halfway. Take a rest.
?Satake Yoshizhong pinched the letter and sneered at the same time.
Ota Zizai said with a smile: "The Takeda family did this not once or twice. The Suwa family, the Imagawa family, and the Uesugi family not long ago in Shingen Toki, but this is true for their allies. It is really chilling."
Satakeyoshi gave a heavy snort and said: "Yes, Takeda Chaoyue made a stupid move this time. Even if he wins the world, he will lose the hearts of the people. But under this situation, we have to fight head-on with the Oda army." , Otherwise, no matter which side Takeda or Oda wins or loses, we will have no retreat."
Ota Zizheng said: "Then how do you plan to make a decision, my lord?"
Satake Yoshi thought again and asked, "Ieyasu, where are you now?"
Ota Shimasei sneered and said: "Mikawa Barbarian Bull has always been upright and without thinking. Duke Ieyasu has already obeyed Takeda Chaoyue's order and rushed to the dangerous place of the northern city. It seems that he is preparing to join forces with the Major General of the Guards. The two sides are resisting together, and the Oda family¡¯s army is gone.¡±
When I heard that Ota Shimasa said that Tokugawa Ieyasu and Li Xiao had joined forces, Satake Yishige had a smile on his face and said: "Master of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you are wrong. Although Ieyasu is only older than me, He is four years old, but his knowledge and strategies are far superior to those of you and me. Do you think he will die when he goes to Northern City?"
"Isn't it true? There are more than 100,000 troops of the Oda family in front of the northern city. How can they resist it?" Ota said honestly.
"That's wrong. As long as the Major General of the Guards is here, Ieyasu will not be able to hurt a hair."
Satake Yishige made this decision simply and neatly.
"When we first launched an army to attack Sakura Castle, Major General Konoe generously supported the Satake family's 500 iron cannons. Compared to Takeda Sozuki, who repeatedly showed no faith, I have more trust in Major General Konoe."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
Li Xiao read the reports from the ninjas and sneered on his face.
Thinking back to the time in Beizhizhuang City, if Li Xiao had not gritted his teeth and withstood the pressure of the Oda Army on his own, he would have annihilated the Shibata Army at a great cost.
??Where did Takeda Nobushige come from? He has subdued Hojo and has awe-inspiring prestige in Kanto.
" And how Takeda Nobushige repaid himself, including all the rewards, including today's surprise.
"Report to my lord, Lord Ieyasu has arrived."
oh?
Although he had expected it, Li Xiao still had a smile on his face after hearing that Tokugawa Ieyasu was coming in person.
??????????? It is said that this is the first time for Li Xiao to see this person except Nagashino, the man who founded the Tokugawa shogunate in history.
"Please come quickly."
Li Xiao immediately got ready and walked out of the battle to greet Tokugawa Ieyasu personally.
Li Xiao saw from a distance that under the flag of San Ye Kui, a man in his thirties wearing a feather woven fabric came riding a horse.
The other party seemed to see him coming to greet him, so he dismounted from a distance, then ran all the way towards him, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "This must be Mr. Yakata."
Li Xiao looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu and couldn't help but feel that this person was a fake. Is this person Tokugawa Ieyasu? Why is your stature so low? Isn't it said that Sanhe people are the most upright people?
Why do you look like a sycophantic villain?
Li Xiaoyan said: "Master Sanhe Shou, I am none other than Li Xiao. I have admired his name for a long time."
Tokugawa Ieyasu continued with a smile and said: "A mere name is not enough to talk to Major General Konoe. I would like to thank Major General Konoe for taking care of him and saving Heihachi. I am extremely grateful from the bottom of my heart!"
When Tokugawa Ieyasu said this, Honda Tadakatsu, who was standing next to Li Xiao as a guest, the brave general also cried and said: "My lord!"
Li Xiao nodded reservedly and said: "This is an alliance, and it is our duty to help each other."
Then Tokugawa Ieyasu saw Honda Masanobu behind Li Xiao and said: "Masanobu, long time no see."
Honda Masanobu had a strange look on his face. He took a step forward and said politely, "Your Highness Mikawa, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Your Excellency is as healthy as ever."
Tokugawa Ieyasu chuckled, his eyes slightly red, obviously remembering some old feelings, and said: "Masanobu, what happened back then is in the past. I have my stubbornness, so I regret losing a good minister like you. However, It is a blessing for you."
Honda Masanobu lowered his head and said: "Mikawa-den's words are serious."
Afterwards, Honda Masanobu quietly withdrew.
Li Xiao looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu and thought that among the three heroes of the Warring States Period, in terms of talent and ability, Tokugawa Ieyasu was obviously inferior to Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
But when it comes to winning over people's hearts, Tokugawa Ieyasu deserves to be ranked first among the three heroes.
Before the Sekigahara War, Torii MotoTadashi defended Fushimi Castle for Tokugawa Ieyasu.
After the city was destroyed, Torii Motochu looked up to the sky and said: "My lord, I wish you good military fortune." Then he committed seppuku and committed suicide.
When others asked Tokugawa Ieyasu what treasures Mikawa had.
Tokugawa Ieyasu replied without hesitation, five hundred Mikawa samurai.
Li Xiao looked at this man with a dark face and a slightly fat figure. Although the haori he wore when he went into battle looked very neat, it had already faded.
I suddenly forgot that this leader of the Warring States Period had another very distinctive characteristic, which was frugality or stinginess.
Li Xiao put away his previous opinions, pointed toward the formation, and said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Your Highness Mikawa, please come inside."
A screen separated the inside and outside. Li Xiao and Tokugawa Ieyasu were both sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Li Xiao and said sincerely: "Major General Konoe, to be honest, the rise and fall of our Tokugawa family depends on your thoughts." (To be continued.
