Li Xiao's words shocked Sheng Lai's body. Takeda shenglai suddenly blushed, and an idea that had been suppressed by him for a long time came out in the bottom of his heart. Takeda shenglai's head was buried low, his hands were like chicken feet, clutching his two knees. It was obvious that he was engaged in a very fierce ideological struggle.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Your Highness shenglai, you don't have to answer me in such a hurry until you think it over."

"No," said Takeda shenglai, raising his head and looking directly into Li Xiao's eyes, "my eldest brother Takeda Yixin is not brave enough to run the Takeda family. If the Takeda family is in his hands, it is likely to fail. One day, I will prove to my father and all my family ministers that I am more suitable to inherit the Takeda family than Yixin. So please help me."

With a smile, Li xiaoha stood up from under the quilt and said solemnly in his underwear: "Well, just now, if you say something about brotherhood, I'll drive you out of the camp immediately and rarely pay attention to you again. What era are we in now? It's an extremely chaotic era! If you still have a woman's heart and don't dare to trample on ethics, then you don't deserve to compete for the world!"

Takeda shenglai's eyes glowed and nodded heavily. It was his ambition to take charge of the Takeda family, but he had always been deeply suppressed. His parents and family ministers just told him how to live in harmony with his brother and be a courtier. Therefore, he never dared to tell anyone, including his uncle and personal attendants.

But this time, he finally revealed his heart, faced up to his purpose, and immediately felt very comfortable.

When Takeda shenglai walked out of Li Xiao's camp and admired a talent that his father and two uncles valued very much, his self-confidence suddenly soared. He walked with a high spirited attitude, as if the world was in his palm.

In the camp, Li Xiao, dressed in clothes, looked into the night sky outside the camp tent and suddenly had a myriad of thoughts.

In history, Takeda Xinxuan's successor is not Takeda Yixin, who is now favored by Xinxuan himself and his family officials, but now Takeda shenglai, the fourth son of Takeda Xinxuan.

Perhaps this time for Li Xiao is a political investment for future success.

The fourth year of Yonglu, 1561, August 29, Chuanzhong island.

Takeda's army withdrew from Chajiu mountain. The whole army crossed qianquchuan and formed an array near Haijin city. However, the Vietnamese rear army still stood still in the face of the crisis that the rear road was cut off. General Uesugi Qianxin seemed to be waiting for some time.

As time wore away day by day, the calm performance of the Vietnamese rear army made the Takeda army unable to sit still. Ten days later, on September 9, Takeda Xinxuan convened a military meeting with all his ministers in Haijin city to decide whether to fight a decisive battle with the Vietnamese rear army.

Nearly 50 officials of the Takeda family participated in the military meeting. These people are absolute important officials of the Takeda family, and Li Xiao was personally designated by Takeda Xinxuan to participate in the military meeting.

The venue of the meeting is the residence of Changxin takasaka, the mayor of Haijin city. It is a standard Japanese courtyard, surrounded by cherry trees.

Lord Takeda Xinxuan was dressed in armor and a very formal military general. He sat on the folding table (tatami) in the middle of the room. Two young surnames stood behind him, one holding his Taidao and the other holding his head pocket.

On the right-hand side of Takeda shinxuan are kaffi family officials who have been with him for a long time, such as sakhang shin, mayor of Gaohai Jincheng City, Machang shinfang, Fanfu Huchang and xiaoyamada SHINMAO. On the left-hand side are Takeda shinfan, Takeda shinlian, Takeda Yixin, a Xinlong, Kayama shinjun and other direct relatives or son-in-law.

After them, Shino family officials, who had not subdued the Takeda family for a long time, were notable. These people were known as the "ancestors". Their representatives included the mayor of matsutai City, Yoshiro Shinda, the mayor of museng Fukushima City, and so on.

When others mentioned Shinda Xinglong, Li Xiaoduo glanced at him. Because he sat far away and didn't look carefully, he only vaguely saw the famous figure of later generations, but he looked like an ugly little old man.

But Li Xiaolian thought of what his sons and grandchildren had done. He looked at what he saw horizontally and vertically. He also looked at the shaper of the Zhentian family, who looked like an ambitious man.

And kizengyikang, who used to be known as the shinono family together with Murakami Yiqing, was subdued after the invasion of Takeda Xinxuan. Although he has ordinary ability, his family background is very prominent. His ancestor is a military general in Japanese history, and his reputation is only second to that of kizengyikang, who originated from the Yijing.

These dozen or so people are all important generals of Takeda's family. They can sit in the house and sit on a stacked mat made of rushes. Their knees are close together and their hips are on their heels. This posture is called "sitting upright". This posture is exactly the same as that of the Han people before the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiao and other Takeda generals could only kneel outside the courtyard and lay a small cushion under him.

The sliding doors and partitions around the room have been removed, leaving only four columns. This rather open design is to facilitate the generals in the courtyard to hear and see all the processes of the indoor military discussion.

All the famous officials of the Takeda family were present at the scene, such as many of the four Takeda officials and the 24 Takeda generals. At the moment, as a military general collecting madmen, Li Xiao would like to take a camera and take a big group photo in the form of graduation photos.

After all the ministers sat down, the first speaker was the master of the eldest male Takeda Yixin and the trusted Minister of Takeda Xinxuan.

The man's face was solemn and unsmiling, and strangers were not close. Under the two thick eyebrows, there was a compelling look in his eyes, which made people feel that the man's temperament was just brave and arrogant, and he was a little headstrong.

Fanfu Huchang is under the command of the Takeda family and commands the "Red Cavalry" known as the first strong army of the Takeda family.

Fan fuhuchang said, "Lord, our army is superior to the Vietnam rear army in terms of military strength and military layout. If we are afraid of modest and public policies and don't take the main attack, we will be ridiculed by all family ministers, so we should take the initiative to attack the Vietnam rear army in a quarter of an hour."

Fan fuhuchang had just finished, and his position was next to another important minister under him, who was also an old acquaintance of Li Xiao. Machang Xinfang echoed: "a long confrontation will affect the morale of the sergeant, and the supply line and reinforcements beyond the rear will reach the enemy camp. We should make a quick decision and cheer up the morale of the army."

These two people's views are consistent, which represents the opinions of the important officials of the Takeda family of Jiafei department. In addition, the mayor of Haijin City, Changxin takasaka, and the fierce general, yuanhuyin, who has been following Takeda Xinxuan for a long time, also agree one after another.

Then the important ministers talked one after another, but they unanimously decided to fight with the Vietnamese rear army.

After the discussion between the family ministers, Takeda Xinxuan solemnly made the final decision: "the purpose of this campaign is to make the Shangshan family dare not peep into our country. In other words, we must wipe out the Vietnamese rear army here, so I ordered a decisive battle with the Vietnamese rear army tomorrow."

Then Takeda shinxuan waved his hand, raised his hand and said: "Whatever the outcome of a battle, more than 50% is the top, more than 70% is the middle, and 10% is the bottom. Why? Because 50% of the odds can inspire the soldiers to forge ahead, 70% is numbing, and 10% will have a sense of pride. Therefore, can we only underestimate the enemy for the number of Vietnamese troops in our army? Shangshan is a famous general in the world and has not lost a war yet. The whole army must be regarded as the only one 50% chance, and go all out, do you understand? "

"Oh."

The generals bowed down to show their obedience.

At this time, a courtier who reported that he was Yamamoto's assistant was waiting outside the house for an interview.

Hearing each other's name, Li Xiao couldn't help but move in his heart and sat up straight and looked out of the gate.
