Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Takeda Nobushige and Li Xiao met at Sekigahara, the Takeda family army continued to move along the Nakasen Road.

    The army followed the Nakasen Road, starting from Imasu in Fuwa County, Mino Province, and entered Kashiwahara in Omi Sakata County.

    With more than 100,000 troops, plus 25,000 surrendered troops of the Oda family, the army became stronger and headed straight for Kyoto.

    On Zhongshan Road, smoke and dust were billowing into the sky.

    The main force of the Takeda Army was not marching very fast, but when they heard that Mitsuhide Akechi burned Azuchi Castle, he led his troops to Kinki.

    But Takeda Nobushige gave the order for the forwards to speed up.

    Right now, on the shore of Lake Biwa, the burned Azuchi Castle is also visible.

    Li Xiao stood on the slope of the ruined castle town, looking at the castle tower of the Oda family that still stood alone.

    Thinking of the burning of Azuchi Castle, which marked the Azuchi-Momoyama era in history, it also represented the destruction of Oda.

    The world has changed hands!

    An era is over, and a new overlord has emerged.

    "Major General of the Guards, you are in such a leisurely mood, look at this scene."

    Li Xiao¡¯s vest moved and he turned around to look. It turned out that Takeda Chaoyue and Mochizuki Nobunaga were leading a group of horseback warriors and riding up.

    Li Xiao waved his hand and asked Li Zheng and Shi Gang Yiyu to lead the way and retreat one horse away.

    Takeda Chaoyue, Mochizuki Shinaga and his men rode up the hillside.

    There are clear barriers to subordinates on both sides, each living on one side of the hillside.

    But Li Xiao and Takeda Nobushige rode forward and stationed their horses at the highest point on the hillside, refusing to give in to each other.

    Li Xiao can easily see behind Takeda Nobushige.  Mochizuki Shinaga and those around him looked unkind to Li Xiao.

    And Takeda Nobushige's moon-white monk's robes fluttered in the wind, but the two of them stared at each other without giving in.

    Li Xiao seemed to feel that Takeda Nobushige was showing off his sharp edge at this moment. This was not his usual modest style.

    Takeda Nobushige was the first to speak: "Major General Konoe, why are you stationed here?"

    Li Xiao smiled and said: "Chao Yue Gong, I just lamented the rise and fall."

    Takeda Nobushige pointed at the ruins of Azuchi Castle with his riding whip and said: "Major General Konoe, two generations of governors of the Oda family have all died in your hands. It seems inappropriate for you to come to pay your respects to the Oda family."

    Li Xiao smiled and said: "It's just luck, it happened to allow me to achieve great success."

    Takeda Nobushige slowly shook his head and said: "I feel even more that Major General Konoe has been planning for this day for a long time, right?"

    Li Xiaoze said: "I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Chao Yue."

    Takeda Nobushige looked at Li Xiao and said: "The Battle of Sekigahara. I don't want to mention it anymore because Major General Konoe used troops without authorization. I just want to calm down the world in the future. How will Major General Konoe prepare to find his own way out?"

    As soon as he said this, behind Li Xiao, Li Zheng and Shi Gang Yiyu looked tense.

    At this moment, Li Zheng instructed one of his subordinates to approach.  Secretly go down the mountain and find the direct troops of my family.

    Li Xiao narrowed his eyes and said: "Mr. Chaoyue, no matter what happens in the future, I, Li Xiao, will always be a retainer of the Takeda family. I will never forget the great kindness that Mr. Shingen and Mr. Katsurai have shown to me."

    " Takeda Nobushige was stunned, but he didn't expect that Li Xiao suddenly said such a sentence.

    At this time, Li Xiao mounted his horse and moved forward, taking a step closer to Nobushige Takeda.

    This scene shocked Mochizuki Shinaga and others.  They had almost forgotten that Li Xiao himself was the most brave general in the world back then. In terms of fighting alone, a hundred Takeda Nobushige was no match.

    Faced with Li Xiao¡¯s persecution, Takeda Nobushige remained calm and waved his hand to signal his men not to act rashly.

    Li Xiao stepped forward and said solemnly: "Mr. Chao Yue. Now, Lord Chao Yue is old. According to Katsurai's last words, after three years, Lord Chao Yue should return power to Lord Chao Yue. Now it's four years."  It has passed, but Your Excellency has made no movement at all. Li Xiao dares to ask Mr. Chao Yue, why is this?"

    Takeda Nobushige smiled slightly and said: "There are still powerful ministers in my family. If I personally withdraw, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos."

    Li Xiao put his hands on his chest and said: "Chaoyue Gong, there is no need to be vague. After the success of the expedition to Luo, I, Li Xiao, will be relieved of my post as the general of the Hida Yuezhong Army. I will not hold military power and will not care about the world."  Just one thing, what do you think?"

    "That may not be possible," Takeda Nobushige said.

    Having said this, Takeda Nobushige glanced at Li Zheng behind Li Xiao.

    In the Battle of Sekigahara, Li Zheng led Li Xiao's banner army to launch a surprise attack on Tianman Mountain. His martial arts shocked not only the Takeda family, but also the famous names in the world.

    After the war, Li ZhengHe even inspected the entire army on behalf of Li Xiao.

    " Takeda Nobushige has deeply felt in his heart that this young man under the age of twenty is already a formidable enemy. In comparison, his two sons Takeda Nobutoyo and Mochizuki Nobunaga are both greatly inadequate.

    Takeda Nobushige guessed that Li Xiao wanted to use a counter-attack method to force him to go out with him, so that in the confrontation between their two generations, the Li family would still have the upper hand.

    Li Xiao sneered, stared at Takeda Nobushige, and said: "Chaoyue Gong, you are not willing to do this, and you are not willing to do that. Do you want to force me, the Li family, to cut off the vassal status in order to reveal your true feelings?"

    " Takeda Nobushige thought, this is even more impossible. Not to mention Sekigahara's heroic achievements in the deadly battle against the Hida Etsuchu Corps, but also the past achievements. The Takeda family can't be what it is today without the help of the Li family.

    "If the Li family is not rewarded for their great contributions and continues to cut down the vassal vassal, then the Takeda family will arouse all the martial arts families in the world to attack.

    Seeing Takeda Nobushige forced into a corner by Li Xiao with a few words.

    At this time, he suddenly said something irrelevant and regained the disadvantage in one breath.

    "This time when Xiaoyaoxuan went to Sekihara and was attacked, was it the work of Major General Konoe?"

    Takeda Nobushige stared at Li Xiao. He had investigated and found that it was the Koga ninja who attacked Xiaoyaoxuan.

    It will take some time to find out who hired the Koga ninja to attack Takeda Noburen.

    But the other party was very careful in their approach. They did not kill Takeda Nobuyan, they just wanted to cut off his way and delay his attack.

    Based on this alone, people with normal intelligence can guess the instructions behind the scenes.

    Li Xiao glanced at Takeda Nobushige, turned his horse's head to look at the ruins of Azuchi Castle, and said casually: "It's me, so what?"

    Hearing Li Xiao¡¯s self-confessed words, Takeda Nobushige was stunned at the time. He thought that Li Xiao might be pretentious or silently refuse to answer. Anyway, there was no evidence for the time being.

    ¡°But Takeda Nobushige did not expect that Li Xiao would admit the matter so simply.

    How arrogant this is!  Arrogant about everything!

    The battle of Sekigahara can explain everything. The winner is not blamed.

    Li Xiao smiled calmly and said: "Mr. Chao Yue, this is all I have to say. If I, Li Xiao, want to be a loyal minister, I am only loyal to the clan and to Katsurai Gong's lineage. Chao Yue Gong, please think twice."

    Having said this, Li Xiao folded his whip and saw two groups of troops coming toward the hillside. One group was under Takeda Nobunaga's command, and the other group was from his own army.

    "Does it have to be so lively, Mr. Chao Yue?"

    After saying that, Li Xiao looked at Takeda Nobushige.
