Chapter 161: A Land of a Country

"Sister Xiaolu's family has withdrew."

After Jiangma Shisheng said this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but there was no joy on his face, because he looked at the flying Takeda Rhino Banner fingers on the other side of the city and the flag seal with the sun and moon patterns, and a sharp look appeared in his eyes.

"I didn't expect Takeda's army to be so strong." Jiangma Shisheng said lightly.

After the defeat of Heshang and Ren's army, the more than a thousand troops of Sister Xiaolu's family under the city were slowly retreating without showing any haste.

Obviously, Sister Xiaolu Lianglai was also a good general to command the troops. He arranged enough troops to be in the palace and the army of his own formation slowly retreated. However, the remaining soldiers under Shi Sheng, the army under Jiangma, had no ability to pursue them at all.

Compared to his father's expression, Jiang Ma Huisheng's eyes were a little brighter, but his expression was introverted and there was no strange color on his face.

"My father, why didn't the Takeda army take advantage of the victory to attack the rear army of the Sister Xiaolu family? With the momentum of winning the battle now, the Takeda army is at least sure to defeat the rear army of the Sister Xiaolu family." Jiangma Huisheng asked.

Jiangma Shisheng snorted coldly and said, "This is the Takeda family's good idea. Sister Xiaoji Ryora is not a mediocre person. It is a different story to pursue whether she can win. But as long as the country of Hida has Sister Xiaoji's family stays for one day, my Jiangma family will have to obey Takeda Shingen."

"I believe Takeda Shingen is even more grateful to the sister Xiaolu family. If they hadn't invaded my Jiangma family, would he have intervened in Hida so easily? Now, my Jiangma family has to rely on the Takeda family everywhere and follow the other party's mercy. This is the value of the existence of the sister Xiaolu family."

Jiang Ma Huisheng was stunned. He always felt that his father was timid, cowardly, indecisive, and had no determination. Especially when he was about to break the city, he was ashamed of being the lord of a city. At this moment, he realized that his father had settled down and had a far-sighted side.

Jiangma Shisheng glanced at Jiangma Huisheng and said, "Huisheng, I have known your little thoughts and plans for our family for a long time, but I just didn't say it out loud, but I can understand what you did. Now the Takeda family has forced me to the land of my Jiangma family. Now, everything depends on the foundation of our family, so you have to put away any plans. Only by passing on the name of my Jiangma family is the key."

Jiangma Shisheng suddenly had cold sweat on his back. It turned out that Jiangma Shisheng had always known about the matter between him and Li Xiaonei of Takeda's family, but he just didn't say it out.

At that moment, Jiang Ma Huisheng quickly knelt down and bowed, saying, "My father, everything is my fault. I am obsessed with profit. In the future, I will definitely put my family first."

Jiangma Shisheng nodded and said, "It would be great if you can think like this. As long as my father and son of the Jiangma family work together, if Takeda Shingen wants to annex my Jiangma family, it will be so easy."

At this moment, Takeda's army slowly approached Suwa Castle, and asked the defenders on the castle to enter and exit the castle.

When they heard the news, Jiangma and his son changed their faces. This was the Takeda army's action to test the Jiangma family. After all, the other party was also a rescue of the Jiangma family's allies. It would be too rude to keep them out. However, if the other party had any other intentions and wanted to seize the city in one fell swoop, what should we do if the Jiangma family destroyed the Jiangma family at this weakest opportunity?

Jiang Ma Shisheng's eyes flashed, obviously in pain of worry and struggle, and Jiang Ma Huisheng's palms were sweating at this moment.

At this time, a warrior rushed to the top of the city.

"Report to the Lord, the Kamiyo family and Yoshimura family's military forces appeared on the flanks of the city."

"Oh?" Jiang Ma Shisheng's face was a little surprised, but a hint of joy appeared on his face.

He, Huisheng, Ema family, and several samurai warriors rushed to the other side of Honmaru's chronobara. Sure enough, he saw two armies here, under the banner of the Kamiyo family and Yoshimura family, coming towards Suwa Castle, the Kakaland.

A samurai from the Jiangma family was indignant and said sarcastically: "The Kamiyo family and the Yoshimura family came "just right". Sister Xiaoji's family retreated and arrived. Did they come here to collect our bodies?"

"It's better to come than not," said Shisheng Ema, but his expression was refreshed. He said to everyone, "The Kamiyo family and Yoshimura family are also rich people in my Hida country, and they are a hundred times better than the wolves and ambitions of the Takeda family. With their military power, at least we can have more confidence when facing the Takeda family."

"Oh!" All the generals agreed after hearing this. The Ema Shisheng understood the meaning very clearly. For them, the Takeda family was an outsider, and it was inevitable that it would be possible for them to be rejected.

"Open the city gate and let the Takeda army enter the city. And when you meet the heads of the two Yoshimura families, you must not be rude at all. Do you understand? Now they are the biggest aids for my Jiangma family to fight the Takeda family." Then, I am the subordinates of Jiangma Shisheng took over his head and put them on again, restoring his confidence and the majesty of a wealthy family. "Let's go, let's meet Li Xiao from the Takeda family for a while, and you can show your spirit, but you can't let the Takeda family underestimate the warriors of my Kitahida."

"Oh!" the generals agreed.

Li Xiao, Katsumotoshi Shikazuoka, and Shiokaoka Kazuoka were under Suwa Castle, Takara, looking at the towering mountain city.

The Suwa Castle in Takara is built by the Ema Shisu, the former head of the Ema family.

After passing through Jiangma Shizhi, the management of the two generations of family supervisors of Jiangma Shisheng and his son has been very strong. There are mountains and rocks in the city. Obviously, it is not easy to find such a large piece of rocks in a place like Hida.

What fluttered above the city wall was the third-level Qi of the Hojo family of the Hei family.

Li Xiao had already seen the Kamiyo family and Yoshimura family's army was slowly moving towards the city, and it was at this time that the castle soldiers on Suwa Castle on the Takarachi sent invitations to Li Xiao and the others to enter and exit the city.

Li Xiao rushed to Shimasato to force the general to stay outside the city, and he and Shigang Yiyu could enter the city.

Shimasaki was worried about Li Xiao's safety and asked him if he wanted to bring more attendants, but Li Xiao didn't care. The Jiangma family would never dare to turn against the Takeda family at this time.

You should know that although the Sister Xiaolu family retreated in this battle, the actual loss of troops was not large. On the other hand, the Jiangma family suffered heavy losses, and the four ministers had left the second one, and the remaining two families also began to have secret gaps with the main family. At this time, only by relying on the Takeda family can they maintain their status in Bei Hida.

If you guess correctly, the Uchishima family in Guiyun City will take further action in the future. They will continue to support the sister Xiaoliu family, or take this opportunity to jump out and stage the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of Hida. This is unknown.

Therefore, the Uchijima family should be considered a variable that affects Hida Country.

Li Xiao can only take the tiger skin of the Takeda family and be proud of Hida Country. In fact, from the Takeda family's grand strategy, before next year, Takeda Shingen was powerless and pulled out of the battlefield in Nishi Ueno and sent troops to support Li Xiao.

Takeda Shingen had written a letter to Li Xiao before and explained this clearly to Li Xiao, so all the current strategies of Hida Country can only be grasped by Li Xiao alone.

Li Xiao and Shigang Yiyu rode their horses and galloped on the horse road in the city.

Before we arrived at Honmaru, Ama Shisheng, Ama Huisheng and his son, as well as a group of samurai from the Jiangma family were all waiting there.

Li Xiao handed the horse whip to Shigang Yiyu, jumped off his horse and greeted Jiangma Shisheng.

Jiangma Shisheng and the generals of the Jiangma family thought that since Li Xiao was a brave general, he should be very generous. But now, except for his taller figure than them, he looked like a very gentle and polite young man.

The surprise of Ema Shisheng just showed his feelings, and then said, "I am very grateful to Ema Shisheng for the Takeda family for helping us."

Li Xiao smiled heartily and said, "It's just a trivial matter. With the relationship between Takeda and Jiangma's family today, it's too polite to say these."

Jiangma Shisheng nodded and said, "Mr. Li Xiao, you are not polite. Let me reiterate it. According to the previous agreement, the Takeda family and the Jiangma family are only ally, not vassals."

Li Xiao glanced at Jiang Ma Shisheng and asked, "Mr. Jiang Ma is still too dissatisfied. It's okay, this is your decision, everything is followed."

Jiang Ma Shisheng smiled slightly, and when he saw that he had a little advantage in his face, he felt a little balanced.

Next, Jiangma Shisheng received Li Xiao in the Tianshou Pavilion. After both sides entered, they sat down with the guest and host.

Li Xiao asked Shigang Yiyu to take out a document and said, "Mr. Jiangma, this is an agreement we have proposed before and made some changes. If you have no objection, please sign the poker."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, a warrior from the Jiangma family took Li Xiao's Chinese book and handed it to Jiangma Shisheng.

After Jiangma Shisheng took the document, he looked at several lines and changed his expression. He threw the document heavily on the ground and shouted: "Your Excellency is too much to do this. After I promised you Takeda's family to rescue you, the territory of rewards will be 3,000 stones high. When will it become 5,000 stones high?"

Li Xiao said calmly: "Mr. Jiang Ma, you're too anxious, why don't you wait until you finish reading the document?"

"No need, you have no sincerity in the alliance. I refuse here. Please, please let Mr. Shin-Chun-Chun come to Hida in person another day. Only by talking like this will it be sincere." Jiang Ma Shisheng's face darkened, and he said something in a stern tone, and even showed off his appearance of seeing off guests, asking Li Xiaoshi-Kun-Ki-Yi-yu to go back.

Suddenly the atmosphere on the scene became tense.

Shioka Ichiyu was furious and asked Takeda's army to go home. Takeda's army saved the Jiangma family after a bloody battle. Jiangma Shisheng did this, undoubtedly a move to destroy the bridge and kill the donkey across the river.

Just a sound of a sudden sound,

Shigang Yiyu couldn't help but draw his sword on the spot.

After this, the warriors of the Jiangma family also changed their colors and stood up and reached out to press the knife.

The evaluation room was filled with the smell of gunpowder for a while, showing a tense momentum.

Jiang Ma Shisheng sneered and said, "Sir Li Xiao, you want to use force here. Isn't this too unwise?"

Jiang Ma Shisheng closed his palms and the paper sliding doors on both sides of the evaluation room were broken open. More than 20 Jiang Ma's warriors holding swords and guns surrounded Li Xiao and Shigang Yiyu and two others.

At this moment, Jiang Ma Shisheng sat down calmly, looking like I was ready.

Li Xiao reached out and pressed, stopped Shigang Yiyu's move to draw his sword, looked at Jiangma Shisheng, and said, "Sir Jiangma, can you stop us with this little person? Even the eight thousand troops of Uesugi Kenshin can't do it. Do you think that only a few hundred remaining soldiers in Suwa Castle in this plateau can do it."

Speaking of this, Li Xiao pointed his hand at Jiangma Shisheng's nose and said sternly: "Sir Jiangma, since we dare to come alone, we are confident that we can leave here. There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty that it is within a short distance. If you can win the enemy, do you really want to try your life?"

After Li Xiao said this, Jiang Ma Shisheng felt a cold air flowing in, and his face suddenly changed drastically.

If someone else said this, he would definitely sneer, but Li Xiao and his subordinate, the bravery of these two people, had just seen them at the city.

Within a short distance, all the enemy's country was invincible. Although the Jiangma Shi Sheng Hanwen was not very good, he knew that this was Li Xiao's intention to threaten him. If he had torn his face, he would have to act as Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin.

Jiang Ma Shisheng felt that the cold sweat was wet with his vest. He waved his hand, and the warriors on his left and right bowed to him lightly, and then retreated together.

Jiangma Shisheng took a breath and said, "Mr. Li Xiao, it's because your subordinate is too impulsive. If you don't have any other ideas, we certainly don't want to get into evil with the Takeda family."

Seeing that all the warriors around him retreated, Li Xiao said, "Do you think you won't betray my Takeda family this way?"

Jiang Ma Shi said angrily: "I did not break the contract, but you temporarily added conditions. I originally agreed with your secret envoy that if you clear the siege, you can reward the Takeda family with a land of 3,000 stones. But now you have increased it to 5,000 stones at once. Is this a manifestation of your Takeda family keeping your promise?"

Li Xiao sneered and said, "But before, when I agreed to come to rescue the siege, you only said that I would like to repel the military power of the Sister Xiaolu family, but you didn't say that in addition to the military power of the Sister Xiaolu family, there are also the military power of the Heshang and Heren family?"

Under Li Xiao's retort, Jiangma Shisheng was speechless for a while.

Jiang Ma Shi was so angry that his beard was raised straight, and then pointed at Li Xiaoyan with trembling fingers and said, "You are trying to make a point."

Li Xiao snorted coldly when he heard this, saying, "I don't know if it is a slander, but since you are so sincere in detail, I think my sister Xiaolu family or Uchishima family are more interested in it. Let me listen to my slander."

When Jiang Ma Huisheng saw Li Xiao and his father, he was stalemate between them and hurriedly came out to smooth things over.

Jiang Ma Huisheng walked forward and picked up the documents on the ground, saying, "My father, Lord Li Xiao, please calm down. This kind of conversation will be fruitless."

At this time, a warrior from the Jiangma family suddenly spoke: "Mr. Li Xiao, do you have any explanation for the territory that has been added to the two thousand stones?"

Li Xiao pointed out and said, "Yes, the extra two thousand stones are added. It is precisely the sincerity of our Takeda family to the Jiangma family alliance. Let me reveal the news first. The Lord Takeda will send more than 5,000 troops to enter Hida next year."

"Five thousand troops?"

All the generals were surprised when they heard this. If the five thousand troops of the Takeda family really entered Hida, even if all the powerful troops in the entire Hida country were combined, they would not be enemies.

By then, it will really reach the point where those who follow Takeda will prosper and those who go against Takeda will perish.

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Master Takeda, I have explained before. What our Takeda army really seeks to eliminate Kenshin Uesugi, so the acquisition of Hida territory is not important. What our Takeda family values ​​more is the alliance relationship with the various Heida families."

As soon as Li Xiao said, the generals of the Jiangma family secretly sneered at him. It was not like this to deceive a three-year-old child. They had no territorial ambitions towards Hida? A joke.

Li Xiao continued to speak seriously: "The sister Xiaolu family rebelled against the enemy and destroyed the Yuanguosi. They also stole the name of the family and deceived the court, and obtained the official title. Such a famous scholar is really unworthy of being dominated by Hida. Therefore, the Lord Shin-Chun-Chun meant that I asked me to discuss the alliance with the Jiangma family, and then attack the Sister Xiaolu family, and the two families will divide their territory equally. The two thousand stones are the guarantee for your Jiangma family to give me Takeda family."

When the Jiangma family heard Li Xiao's words, they were all shocked. The Takeda family and the Jiangma family shared the territory of Sister Xiaolu's family equally, which was too tempting.

The stone heights of the sister Xiaolu family are as high as 16,000 stones, and the two families are divided equally, which means that the Jiangma family can get the eight thousand stone heights. At this moment, Lianjiang Ma Shisheng was also moved when he heard Li Xiao’s proposal.

He carefully picked up the document and read it again. It really contained a treaty on it that the Takeda family and the Ema family shared the territory of Sister Xiaoji's family.

At this moment, Li Xiao looked at the reaction of his sister Xiaolu's family and sneered in his heart.

There is a reason why he raised the 3,000 stone high that he originally agreed to be 5,000 stone high in one breath.

Before leaving the country of Hida, Li Xiao wrote a letter to Takeda Shingen to complain, saying that the country of Hida was small and barren, and the people were tough and tough, and it was really difficult to capture, so he asked Takeda Shingen to ask soldiers, money and food.

Seeing this reply to Li Xiao, Takeda Shingen said that the Takeda family's strategy was all inclined to the West, so he had no money to ask for soldiers and no food to ask for them.

However, Takeda Shingen also gave one. For Li Xiao, if he could capture the territory of Hida Country by himself, he would give it to Li Xiao as a place of knowledge and action.

So now it is understandable why Li Xiao risked his rebellion with the Jiangma family and raised the original 3,000-strait high territory from Jiangma Shisheng's mouth to 5,000-strait high.

Because these things that have been defeated are actually Li Xiao’s own territory in the future.
