In the face of Takeda Xinxuan's solicitation, Li Xiao disguised his joy, but hesitated for a while and said, "thank you for your kindness. Although I have no relatives in Daming, I am a military general of the imperial court. How can I leave another country?"

Li Xiao's refusal was somewhat unexpected to Takeda Xinxuan.

However, Takeda Xinxuan had determined in his heart that Li Xiao was a strong general of the three armed forces. How could he easily let him go? So he opened his mouth and advised him, "Jiafei is thousands of miles away from the Ming state, and there is an ocean barrier. Although you have your hometown in mind, I'm afraid it's a difficult and dangerous way to go."

Machang Xinfang also said, "yes, I heard businessmen from Vietnam say that the sea ban in the Ming Dynasty is strict. If you rush to ferry home, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble."

Li Xiao thought it was true when he heard this from Machang Xinfang. Of course, the Ming Dynasty banned the sea because of sea disasters. If he rashly returned home, he might be accused of adultery with Japanese pirates.

Seeing that Li Xiao seemed to be hesitating, Takeda Xinxuan felt that there was a play and replied, "Li Xiao, I know you are worried that it is difficult to adapt to the environment. It's better to do so. During your official career, all the etiquette of my Takeda family followed the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. You don't have to follow the rules here. Even if you see me, you don't have to pay homage."

Just to my liking, Li Xiao came forward with a look of great joy, hugged his fist and said, "the Lord is so kind to Li, Li will serve to the death."

After hearing this, Takeda Xinxuan laughed and came forward with both hands holding Li Xiao's arms. The two staged a touching picture of the meeting of kings and ministers.

After that, Takeda Xinxuan not only rewarded Li Xiao with 100 yuan of gold, but also gave him a pair of top-grade armor. He also specially selected a "tall horse" for Li Xiao. This proportion is relative to the small Japanese horse.

Li Xiaoxin knew that these objects were given by Takeda Xinxuan in order to win over himself.

Just like in the past, when playing games on their own, if they reward a weapon or armor for the newly recruited ronin with low loyalty, their loyalty immediately jumps from more than 70 to 100, such as Yida Zhengzong and Honda Zhongsheng.

Although playing Xinchang game, Li Xiao once worked as a military general to collect madmen. He bought and gathered famous generals of the Warring States period under his command, and each one was 100 loyal. It was difficult to think about it. It was easy to get bored after playing such a game for a long time.

In reality, human nature is too complex. Everyone's "loyalty" is invisible to the Lord, and the generals have different understanding of the word "loyalty".

As for Li Xiaodi's loyalty to the Takeda family, only God knows.

While Li Xiao was constantly YY thinking about his prospects in the Takeda family, a line of twelve or thirteen Takeda cavalry arrived at the array. As far as Li Xiao knows, among the samurai, there are high, middle and low-level samurai. Generally speaking, the samurai who can ride a horse are high-level samurai.

So Li Xiao stared at the cavalry of more than a dozen people to see if he could see one or two famous Takeda generals.

"Jiro, you finally came," Takeda shinxuan strode over and came to the riding general. The horseman immediately jumped off his horse, took off his armor, knelt on his knees and said, "see you, brother."

As like as two peas, Li Xiao looked closely at the red armor of the Wu Tian family, which was much smaller than the letter of age. The two looked very similar, even with the same beard and hairstyle.

According to less detailed information, Takeda Xinxuan had two younger brothers who looked very similar to him. When he was not in the battle, one of them often served as a "Shadow Warrior", pretending to be Xinxuan and commanding the whole army as the main general.

This is also a false and real strategy in the art of war. For example, using the "Shadow Warrior" as a substitute and deliberately letting the enemy's detailed work, he mistakenly thought that Takeda Xinxuan himself was still in charge in Jiafei state and had no intention of invading, but in fact, Xinxuan himself had personally led a large army to the other party's city.

This man is naturally his second brother, Takeda Xinfan.

"Brother, Haijin city has reported that the Vietnamese rear army has set up its own array in the wife and daughter mountain by the Bank of qianqu river."

Takeda Xinxuan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "what is Changxin doing?"

"Lord takasaka, seeing that he is outnumbered, has set fire to the town under the city and retreated to the city, and the Vietnamese rear army seems to have plans to attack the city. Should we speed up our March?"

Takeda Xinxuan thought for a while and said, "no, our army is marching rapidly and is falling into the big net laid by the Vietnam rear army. The Shangshan family has always sought a decisive battle with our army. If our army advances quickly, the other party will wait for work with ease, so it will fall into the trap of the opponent."

After a pause, Takeda Xinxuan obviously didn't want to say more. He looked at Li Xiao nearby and said, "Jiro, I'd like to introduce you to a general from the Ming state. He is now a warrior of his family."

At the moment, Li Xiao was dressed all over, quite a bit of the temperament of a Japanese warrior general in the Warring States period. At the sight of Takeda Xinfan, he couldn't help exclaiming: "what a majestic military general, are the people of the Ming Dynasty so majestic?"

Takeda Xinxuan said proudly, "I believe this man can fight against the three armies."

Takeda Xinxuan immediately called Li Xiao to come to him and said, "Li Xiao, this is my brother Xinfan. He is proficient in the culture of your Ming Dynasty. He has a deep research on the four books and five classics and the calligraphy of Chinese characters. In the future, you will follow him for a while, worship him as a teacher and learn the language here."

Li Xiao looked at him and smiled at Takeda Xinfan. He thought that this man was a Chinese expert. Don't show any tricks in front of him.

Of course, Li Xiao came forward to see him. Takeda Xinfan also looked very happy.

In most of the Japanese Warring States games, Takeda Xinfan is a very short-lived character, but for the Takeda family at the moment, he is the No. 2 character, both civil and military, second only to his brother.

In his early years, Takeda Xinhu, the master of Takeda's family, had planned to abolish his legitimate son Xinxuan and let his beloved second son Xinfan inherit Takeda's family business. But later, with the support of his family officials, Takeda Xinxuan exiled his father Xinhu and became the owner of the family.

In the dilemma between his father and his brother, Xinfan chose his brother. It was precisely because of his support that after Xinhu left, the Takeda family officials united under Xinxuan from beginning to end.

Since then, Xinfan has always supported his brother and participated in every war of the Takeda family. He follows Xinxuan like a shadow. His strategic and tactical ability is not inferior to his brother, and he is firmly in the second place of the Takeda family.

According to Xinxuan's instructions, Li Xiao, as a messenger, was sent to Xinfan's command, but Li Xiao didn't expect that his defeated general Takeda shenglai was sent to Xinfan's uncle's command with Li Xiao.

Takeda Xinxuan actually wanted Li Xiao to teach shenglai martial arts.

Sitting on the big chestnut horse, Li Xiao was extremely nervous. Being a modern man, he had no problem driving his own bike, motorcycle, even BMW, Mercedes Benz and other means of transportation.

But if he wants to ride a horse, Li Xiao's riding skills can't be mentioned at all. Let alone riding a horse, even the simplest walking is not safe.

Walking along the bumpy Xinnong mountain path, coupled with a suit of armor with inconvenient movement, especially the two exaggerated large sleeves on his shoulder (that is, the armor to protect his shoulder), he couldn't control his balance with both hands. Moreover, the two waist knives between the waist are long and short. According to the Japanese, the short one is called rib difference and the long one is called Taidao. These two knives are so cramped that he can hardly twist his waist, which makes him particularly uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Li Xiao didn't wear the throat wheel covering his chin, cheeks and neck, otherwise he would really suffocate.

But now the situation is not very good. Fortunately, Li Xiao's hip is quite docile. If he really wants to dismount Li Xiaodian, he will be ashamed and lose his hair.

"Li Xiao, I'm afraid it's the first time to ride a horse?"

Li Xiao turned his head and saw Takeda Xinfan's smiling expression. He rode steadily and spoke to Li Xiao on his horse.

Li Xiao couldn't help adjusting his sitting position on the saddle and fidgeted like constipation. He knew that he was undoubtedly in a mess now. Most importantly, he declared that he was a military general of the Ming Dynasty, but he obviously couldn't ride, which was obviously incompatible with the status of a military general.

Li Xiao used an awkward expression to hide his inner panic and said, "I really don't know how to ride a horse. Most of the Fujian guarded by Li is hilly and watery, so although there is no lack of horses, it is difficult to gallop. Even as a general, I mostly walk."

Takeda shinfan then showed a clear expression and said with a smile, "I see." at this time, after losing to Li Xiao, Takeda shenglai, who was still somewhat unconvinced, interrupted: "it's a shame that a warrior can't ride a horse."

With that, Takeda shenglai took a heavy whip and galloped in front of Li Xiao, leaving him far behind.

Seeing Takeda shenglai's fighting spirit, Li Xiao couldn't help laughing. At the same time, he felt Takeda Xinfan beside him, still staring at himself. Li Xiao is secretly wary that both Xin Xuan and Xin fan are careful people. It's difficult to prevent each other from seeing a clue in the details.

At present, Li Xiao can only take one step at a time. Only by adapting to the identity of the Warring States generals as soon as possible and integrating into the atmosphere of the Takeda family, this is the most critical thing at present. So Li Xiao immediately asked Takeda Xinfan for advice on horsemanship.

Takeda Xinfan doesn't keep secrets. He tells his experiences and opinions on equestrian. After Li Xiao studied, he immediately became good at equestrian, which makes Takeda Xinfan feel very successful. With the rise of one teacher and the other happy, their "Friendliness" soon increased.

After Li Xiaoshi's horse bumped under his crotch, the two began to talk. Takeda Xinfan introduced the origin of Takeda family to him.

Starting with shinro Sanlang Yiguang, the ancestor of Yiguang, the son of Yiguang changed his surname to Takeda and became the first generation master of the Takeda family. After that, the Takeda family experienced civil strife. The 24 master Takeda Xinhu rose again and unified the Jiafei country. Now the territory is the current master. Takeda Xinxuan has achieved brilliance and basically annexed the Xinnong country.

Li Xiao has already been skilled in all this, but he now cares more about when he was in the Warring States period of Japan. The current year is certainly not astronomical years, nor the later Tianzheng years. It is most likely to be Yonglu years.

As for Li Xiao, who has passed through customs countless times, it is a very basic common sense to be familiar with the starting age of each script. Just like the ashes players who are used to the Three Kingdoms series, they can say with their eyes closed that the script of the Yellow turban rebellion began in 184.

If at this time, Xinxuan had occupied the whole territory of Xinnong country. Then it will inevitably conflict with Shangshan Qianxin, the northern country of Vietnam, known as the "dragon of Vietnam". In history, after receiving the strong support of Shino, who was expelled by the Takeda family, Shangshan Qianxin led troops to fight with Takeda Xinxuan five times in the area of central Sichuan island.

This history has been described in detail in the film heaven and earth.

Takeda Xinxuan and Shangshan Qianxin are called the heroes of the world. Their military strategy and military strength are equal. It was these two men who fought in Shinano for more than ten years, consumed too much time and made no progress, so that they both missed the best opportunity to unify Japan. This is a pity for countless later history readers.

With Takeda Xinfan's story, as Li Xiao expected, the Takeda family not only started a war with Shangshan family, but also faced off with Shangshan Qianxin's army in Central Sichuan three times before.

Now in 1561, in the fourth year of Yonglu, Japan, Takeda Xinxuan led the army for the fourth time to go north from Jiafei and fight with Shangshan Qianxin near Chuanzhong Island, which is called the fourth joint battle of Chuanzhong island in history.
