Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Eight

"It's unbelievable. In just a few months, Li Xiao really built such a city."

Jiangma Fraser was riding a horse under Shengang City, looking at this new city that had just risen on the territory of Hida Kingdom. Not long ago, it was the site of Fuxin on the old river of Jiangma's Xi's family. Now it has become Takeda's Li Xiao. Of the city.

"Father, you are really unwise to try to prevent the Takeda family from entering the Hida country," Jiangma Huisheng muttered to himself, "With the strength of the Takeda family, if you really get serious, it's not that you want to take Hida. The hard thing is to have the support of the Uesugi family. It is useless. The only way to survive for our little tyrants can only be left and right. When we clarify our position, it may be the disaster of extinction."

"His Royal Highness Jiang Ma, the Lord of the City is already waiting in the castle tower of this city."

Jiang Ma Huisheng gave a hum, and nodded lightly. As the suspension bridge was lowered, he raised his whip and entered the city with his entourage.

At this moment, Li Xiao was on the Tianshou Pavilion in this city, watching from a distance the Jiangma family's ambitious Highness, who was riding up the mountain on the horse path.

In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, the relationship between the Takeda family and the Jiangma family, in standard game terms, is an alliance with a degree of friendship lower than (full score).

In other words, they both look at each other upset, but because of some personal interests, they have to be tied together temporarily.

On the surface, good brothers and good partners, but underneath are the same bed with different dreams, each carrying ghosts, and when necessary, Ranwen Novel.com might stab each other in the back.

After Jiangma Fraser entered the city.

Li Xiao met Jiangma Fraser and his entourage in the evaluation room of the Tianshou Tower of Shenoka City. The two sides had cordial and friendly talks. They highly praised the relationship between the two and welcomed the Jiangma family’s current friendly attitude towards the Takeda family.

The above are all **** on the scene, but in fact, Li Xiao and Jiangma Fraser are well aware of the situation in the castle tower. They can't see a little friendly sincerity from each other.

"His Royal Highness Jiang Ma, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Master Li Xiao, no, it's the Lord of Shengang City now."

Li Xiao laughed and said, "Thanks to His Highness Jiangma's assistance, otherwise, where can I have today, Li Xiao?"

The angry look in Jiangma Fraser’s eyes flashed past, but he calmly said: "All of this is based on your ingenuity, Master Li Xiao, and the franchise has come from the franchise. I really don't dare to take credit for it."

Li Xiao listened to the nails in Jiang Ma Fraser’s words, only smiled, and deliberately asked: "His Royal Highness Jiang Ma, it seems that there is a misunderstanding between us, please speak up."

Jiangma Fraser shook his head and said: "Master Li Xiao, we have no misunderstanding."

Li Xiao sneered secretly and thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, it is Mr. Chang 6 Jie Jiangma, who misunderstood me. When the Sister Xiaolu Army attacked, I asked your family for help, but I didn't see a single soldier. , And as far as I know, Jiangma Chang 6 did not seem to be in a hug at the time."

After listening to Jiang Ma Fraser, he calmly explained his words: "My father is more than 60 years old this year, how can there be some serious and minor illnesses? It just happened to happen."

According to what Jiang Ma Fraser said, Jiang Ma Shisheng’s illness may indeed happen randomly. Li Xiaoyan said: "His Royal Highness Jiang Ma, there is no intention to pursue it here. Everything is over. It is meaningless to care about it. We must look to the future. Things."

Jiang Ma Fraser said: "Master Li Xiao, I am here only to represent my Jiang Ma family. I congratulate the Takeda family on the fortification of Kamoka Castle. If there is nothing wrong, please allow me to say goodbye."

After all, Jiangma Fraser stood up without waiting for Li Xiao to save him.

Li Xiao was slightly surprised. This Jiangma Fraser has always been deep in the city government. Even if his attitude is dissatisfied with himself, it will not be so obvious, and he still expresses his emotions repeatedly, so the only possibility is to show it to his side. Followers watched.

Li Xiao speculated and figured out the general situation. Obviously, the news of Jiangma Fraser and Takeda's internal communication has been leaked, so he deliberately expressed his attitude to clarify the relationship with himself.

Li Xiao stood up and said: "His Royal Highness Jiang Ma, why bother in such a hurry, it is very snowy now, please stay overnight before leaving."

In fact, the snow outside the window of the castle tower was not too much, but the tough attitude of Li Xiao, the host, forcing the guests to stay, made Jiangma Fraser unable to refuse, and even his entourage was helpless and had to stay.

That night, Li Xiao and Jiangma Fraser had a secret meeting in the Tianshou Pavilion.

Li Xiao said aloud: "His Royal Highness Jiang Ma, now there are only you and me. All the words that come out of my mouth will be in your ears. There is absolutely no third person to hear them. I repeat, His Highness Jiang Ma, please Here, Lord Takeda and I have never forgotten about the seizure of Jiangma’s family governor."

Li Xiao paused and continued: "And if the inheritance of my Takeda family remains the same, as long as Jiangma Fraser can let Jiangma family subdue my Takeda family, then my Takeda family will do everything to help your superior and become the Jiangma family. Patriarch."

Regarding Li Xiao’s words, Jiang Ma Fraser pondered for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "The situation has reached this point. What else can I say, Father, I have already found out that I know your Takeda family. I have become the target of public criticism. If there is a slight change, maybe your father will do justice to annihilate the relatives."

"If it is true," Li Xiao nodded, "but it is not difficult for my Takeda family to support your highness. You only need to agree to your Highness. After the high, you will subdue my Takeda family. All plans will continue as usual."

Jiang Ma Fraser thought for a while, then asked, "Master Li Xiao, if I become Jiang Ma's family chief, what good will it do to your Takeda family? Let me guess."

Jiangma Fraser smiled slightly and said straightforwardly: "I think the position of the head of the Jiangma family is the same for the Takeda family, but the most important thing is that the attitude must be inclined to the Takeda family. So relative to his father. For adults, I am a very good candidate for the Takeda family.

"The reason is very simple. If I take the position, then the seat will definitely be wrong. There must be a retainer in the family who explicitly opposed it and secretly refused to accept it. At that time, I would have to rely more heavily on the Takeda family to consolidate my position. It is very possible to use this to coerce Bī into an alliance under the city, or to vacate me and let me be a puppet, and the Takeda family will actually control all this."

"In the end, when our Jiangma Fraser loses its value in use, Ranwen Novel.com will be kicked away by your Takeda family, conspiring to seize the territory of our Jiangma family and make it the territory of your Takeda family. Master Li Xiao, you can acquire all the territories of my Jiangma family and become the name of half of the Hida country. This is your ambition. And my Jiangma Fraser, the final outcome, only to be given to death by you."

Li Xiao laughed, this Jiangma Fraser was really not easy, and he could see Takeda Shingen's plan at a glance.

Jiangma Fraser also smiled, leaned forward, and asked Li Xiao: "Lord Li Xiao, you said, am I right?"

Faced with Jiang Ma Fraser’s contempt, Li Xiao said with a little anger: "His Royal Highness Jiang Ma, you really disappointed me."

"Am I wrong?"

Li Xiao snorted, and said: "His Royal Highness, to say something disrespectful, if you speculate on the intentions of your lord from such a perspective, it is nothing wrong with it, but if you, your Excellency, also speculate on me, Li Xiao, then my ability to your Excellency And judgment, undoubtedly very disappointed."

Jiangma Fraser's eyes flashed and asked: "How to say?"

Li Xiao asked, "It's very simple. If your Excellency is thinking from the perspective of Li Xiao, not from the perspective of the Takeda family, how can I maximize my interests?"

Jiangma Fraser thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Please make it clear, your Excellency."

Li Xiao stood up, put his hands behind his back, and then said: "Hida country, although the geographical position is important, for the lord of the family, it is the main way to attack the center, so we must firmly grasp it. For me, Li For Akatsuki, the land of Hida country is barren and the people are poor. It faces the high mountains all day long. It snows for a small half of the year, and the roads cannot go along. If my future land of knowledge and action is here, do you think I will be happy?"

Jiangma Fraser was taken aback, and said: "Could it be Lord Li Xiao, do you mean that you are in Yuezhong?"

"Yes, as long as I can get a large tract of land in Yuezhong, what does it matter if the mere Shengang City gives you the Jiangma Family," Li Xiao said categorically, "This land of five thousand stones, there is also Shengang City, But I got it by the lord’s order. If I want to get the land of knowledge and action, I will go directly north to Viet-Chong. Viet China faces the sea in the north, and has a vast plain. In the middle, there are rivers such as Shuangchuan, Jintong River, and Kurobe River. It is very conducive to farming. The more China’s stone is ten times as high as the Hida country. Compared with each other, I, Li Xiao, would not go to the rich Yuezhong, but stay in this bitter and cold Hida land. It’s not too stupid. Yet."

After hearing this, Jiang Ma Fraser pondered for a while, and then said with great joy: "If this is the case, I think with the talents of Lord Li Xiao, how can I be willing to know what to do with the five thousand stones in this Hida country? It turns out that your ambition lies in Yuezhong, sir I really admire his ambition."

Li Xiao secretly sneered, and don't talk flattering words. I won't take your Hida. Of course, I am a good person for you. My ambition is just a small Yuezhong. It is really the ambition of the bird.

Li Xiao said in a sincere manner: "His Royal Highness Jiang Ma, it would be good if you can understand me. But your Highness is right to think about it. The Hida country is bound to win for my master’s concerns, not true. Covet the stone height here, but the location here."

"If my Takeda family wants to send troops to Yuezhong, Hida country is the only way to contact our family before Echigo is destroyed. Therefore, to complete the occupation of Hida country and establish a channel to Yuezhong is an opportunity for our family. It must be done. My Takeda family must not allow a family similar to the sister Koru family, so that the influence of the Uesugi family must be eliminated! If the same Jiangma family does not surrender, the Lord Takeda will not be at ease with the Jiangma family in the future. The road is in the hands of others, and one day it will be annexed."

After listening to Li Xiaochi telling the strategic intentions of the Takeda family, Jiangma Huisheng was shocked in a cold sweat. This Takeda Shingen is really uneasy and really wants to send troops to eradicate my Jiangma family.

Li Xiao nodded to Jiangma Fraser, with a look of loyalty, and said sincerely: "So I have been persuading the pavilion to subdue my Takeda family, not to harm Jiangma family, but to plan for you in the long run. If you don’t surrender, you will definitely provoke a crusade from my Takeda family. This is like a paper-thin alliance and it’s useless at all."

"But if it were to surrender, it would be different. Lord Takeda will treat the Jiangma family as the second Sanada family, the second Oban family, and even the second Kiso family. At that time, Ranwen Novel Network, perhaps Jiang The Ma family has lost its independent attitude, but taking all the land of the Hida country into your hands and fulfilling the dream of the three generations of the Jiang Ma family is not an opportunity for your Excellency to reshape the Jiang Ma family into glory?"

Under Li Xiao's carrot and angst, Jiangma Fraser was obviously shaken, with a worried look, it was obvious that his mind was caught in a fierce struggle.

Li Xiao solemnly said: "Master Jiangma Fraser, what are you still hesitating about? If you don’t stop, you should accept it. You must know that you are saving your Jiangma family by taking the position of Jiangma family’s governor. Keeping your stubborn father in charge will only bring Jiangma's family into destruction."

Jiang Ma Fraser suddenly raised his head, then took a step forward, staring straight at Li Xiao and asked: "Master Takeda’s intentions are well understood, but your Excellency is so concerned about the internal affairs of the Jiang Ma family and the interests that I seek. Where is it?"

Facing Jiang Ma Fraser’s questioning, Li Xiao knew that this was his last question. As long as he passed this level, Jiang Ma Fraser would be taken down by himself.

If Jiangma Fraser takes the position, and the Jiangma clan surrenders the Takeda clan, what good is it for Li Xiao?

Li Xiao didn't think too much, and asked, "Isn't His Wisdom as Jiangma not guessing at all?"

Jiangma Fraser was still motionless, waiting for Li Xiao's answer.

Li Xiao sighed and said: "The reason is that I am really dissatisfied with your father. Before, Lord Jiangma was walking in my territory with rumors, which caused the people to misunderstand me and prevent me from recruiting civilian husbands to build a city. And this time the sister Xiaolu family came When I attacked me, Lord Jiangma did not kill a single soldier. Not only me, but the owner of the family was also very angry. So I have reason to question the so-called commitment of Jiangma family to my Takeda family alliance. Such allies are to me. As far as Li Xiao is concerned, it is better to not have it."

"Is it just that?" Jiangma Fraser continued to ask.

"Of course it's more than that. Hida, the Yuezhong site is too big. With my position in the Takeda family today, Li Xiao, the lord of my family, would not give me such a large site alone, and he will definitely give me other retainers. To manage, or both as a parallel constraint. So for me, no matter which retainer comes to Vietnam, there are still variables for me, Li Xiao, in the territory of Hida."

"variable?"

Facing Jiangma Fraser’s question, Li Xiao nodded and replied: “Yes, your Excellency should be very aware of the situation in my Takeda family today. The prosecution dispute is not unique to your Jiangma family, and my Takeda family also No exception, I am from the Takeda family. Your Excellency should have known it a long time ago."

Jiangma Fraser nodded. If you don't even know who the backer behind Li Xiao is, then Jiangma's family really shouldn't continue mixing in Feida country.

Li Xiao continued: "His Royal Highness Yoshinobu will definitely be able to attack my Takeda family in the future Hida country and Vietnam China. This means that it is very likely that in the future my Takeda family will be in Yuezhong, Hida's expanded territory. A large part of it must be brought into the hands of His Royal Highness Yixin's people. For me, this is all harm and no benefit."

"Your Jiangma family is not the same. You are the same, you can't participate in the affairs of the Takeda family center. If you get a territory, there is no pressure for His Highness Yoshinobu and Shiro, and you can acquiesce. So I, Li Xiao Decided to cooperate with your Excellency to expand the power of the Jiangma family, so as to prevent His Highness Yixin from infiltrating Hida and Yuezhong."

"And more importantly, my friendship with His Highness is far from comparable to other people. I believe that His Highness will definitely lean towards me, Li Xiao, after he takes over the position of Jiangma's House Governor, right?"

Jiangma Fraser finally realized it, saying: "So, Lord Li Xiao, even this is worrying about this, so if the Jiangma family really wants to expand, then your Excellency can't allow my father to take the position of Jiangma family's governor. If I am in charge of the Jiangma family, which seems neutral on the surface, but in fact, I am close to Master Li Xiao, after that, our two families will be the Takeda family side by side, in Hida, the important ministers of Vietnam and China. Li Xiao The adults get a strong support, this is a far-sighted move."

Li Xiao nodded heavily, and then said with an extremely sincere expression: "Yes, this is the reason why I support His Royal Highness Jiang Ma. In a word, Li Xiao believes His Royal Highness Jiang Ma, but I can't trust anyone else. That's it."

Jiangma Fraser stretched out his hand and patted his thigh, suddenly making a decision.

Then Jiangma Fraser stood up and said loudly: "Well, Lord Li Xiao, just make such a decision. I will fully cooperate with all your actions."

Seeing that Li Xiao finally persuaded Jiangma Fraser, he dropped the boulder in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ma Fraser’s eyes were piercing, obviously he looked ambitious, but he didn’t get dazzled for a while, and said cautiously: "But with our current strength, it’s not enough to bring down my father and take control of Jiang Ma’s family for me. The situation, everything must be cautious, especially our discussion tonight, absolutely must be kept secret."

Li Xiaochengzhu said in his mind: "This is of course, but it is imperative to bring down Lord Jiangma. I decided that after the new year, I, Li Xiao, will lead my servants to represent my Takeda family to the plateau Suwa city. , To congratulate your father on the New Year. And then Ranwen Novel Network..."

Li Xiao’s conversation turned around ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There was a resolute look in his eyes, and a murderous remark in his tone: "When the time comes, we will join forces to implement military advice and force your father. Step down and give way to you."

Jiangma Fraser was shocked by Li Xiao's bold plan. He originally thought that there would be a buffer period of six months, a year, or even a few years, but he did not expect to carry out this plan in just a few months.

Jiangma Fraser trembled, and said: "Will it be too hasty?"

Li Xiao smiled and shook his head and said, "It's not rushed at all. Next year, after opening net, my Takeda family's Hida Expeditionary Army will be compiled. At that time, if Ranwen Novel Net is Jiangma's family or your father With this attitude today, Jiang Ma’s family is the first target of my Takeda’s Hida Expeditionary Army. Until then, Jiang Ma’s regrets will be too late."

Jiang Ma Fraser thought about what Li Xiao had said, that the Takeda family's conquest of Hida really didn't make any false statements. He was a little secretly thankful now that he made the decision so soon.

Jiang Ma Fraser gritted his teeth and looked like he was ruthless, and then said: "If this is the case, everything is subject to Master Li Xiao's instructions."
