Chapter 1173: Xinxuan sells the pot and wins the blame
After Shingen's death, the Takeda family still had such combat power and strategy, and finally captured Tokugawa Ieyasu's important city, Takaten Shrine Castle. Undoubtedly, this move touched the most sensitive nerves in Ieyasu and Oda's hearts.
The result of this battle further strengthened Oda and Ieyasu's determination to annihilate the Takeda family, especially to kill Katsuyori!
Because Katsuyori continues to grow, in another five years, Takeda Katsuyori will be another Takeda Shingen with explosive combat power. This is not the result that Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu want to see!
……………………
"Lord! Why don't you kill Katsuyori? Keeping him alive will be a source of disaster, and there will be endless troubles in the future!"
Meng Tianfang asked Liu Shiba, and doubts came from under his tightly covered bright red mask.
Liu Shiba had no expression on his face and glanced left and right with his eyes!
He found that Takeda Shingen was explaining his funeral affairs to Baba Nobuka, who was bowing down, and the other retainers were also whispering among themselves, and no one noticed it.
"I also think it would be better to kill Katsurai!"
Li Ergou's voice also fell into Liu Shiba's ears.
"hehe!"
Liu Shiba waved his hands and chuckled, then turned to Li Ergou and Meng Tian who were standing nearby and explained in a low voice in Chinese:
"Of course I am doing this for the good of all of us! Do you really think that just by ordering a meal of steamed buns, the hungry Takeda Army can move across the entire Japanese archipelago, kill Tokugawa, and seize Kyoto?
I tell Tianfang you and Uncle Ergou, you are all dreaming. Do you still think you are martial arts experts from another time period?
Or, perhaps, he hallucinated that he was Captain Mo Jin, or some strong man of the Ten Cultivations, the leader of the Five Elements and Three...?
Let me tell you two, traveling through the space-time tunnel consumes a lot of our energy. Now we are no different from them and are just ordinary people. Do you understand?
Maybe, Meng Tianfang’s Forty-Six and Death Soldiers are just stronger and stronger, but they are by no means an enemy of ten thousand people..."
Li Ergou and Meng Tianfang were stunned when they heard this, then looked at each other and nodded, as if they understood Liu Shiba's explanation.
"Forget it! Let's just treat it as a group of people and there's nothing wrong with keeping this loser Katsurai around..."
Cuihuabai Li Ergou glanced at him and gave a sweet smile.
Liu Shiba's face turned pale and he smiled evilly:
"Who said it's useless? It's very useful."
The old driver also moved behind Liu Shiba at this moment. He seemed to be interested as well and asked enthusiastically:
"What's the use? To show off..."
……………………
Liu Shiba was about to set up a dragon gate array to show off his knowledge from two junior colleges to his group of subordinates with different but mysterious origins, when he heard Takeda Shingen calling in Japanese two meters away...
"Eighteen! Please sit next to me."
Takeda Shingen's face was no longer pale at this moment, but there was a trace of livid and faint black death...
"Is this a sign that the end is approaching?"
Liu Shiba stared at the old monster Shingen who was about to die. This old guy almost single-handedly defeated all the most famous lords in Japan at that time.
He is the immortal legend of Japan's Warring States Period, known as the strongest general - Takeda Shingen!
"I'm going to do business first. I'm trying to fool Shingen's trust. Let's survive first... As for the effect, I should be able to see the answer later."
Liu Shiba turned around and ordered Meng Tianfang, Li Ergou and his wife, and the old driver and his party.
After talking to his people, Liu Shiba stood up with difficulty, moved his skinny seat and the horse stool covered with animal skin mattresses, and finally sat down a few meters away from Takeda Shingen.
"Hey! Shiba, please sit closer. I have almost lost the strength to speak."
Takeda Shingen forced himself to smile.
Little did they know how ferocious and terrifying the smiling face of Lord Shingen was with his livid face...
Seven or eight meters away, dozens of prostrated retainers and generals were obviously paying attention to Shingen, Liu Shiba and others. When they suddenly saw Takeda Shingen's ferocious smile that made the hair stand on end, they couldn't help but be shocked physically and mentally at the same time.
Chill!
Will Takeda Shingen, the god in the Kai Takeda family's territory and in the hearts of the people, finally collapse?
Kai Takeda, where will it go in the future?
A group of retainers and generals couldn't help but worry, and kept exchanging glances with each other...
Only Baba Nobuka and Sanada Masanobu, who had just been kidnapped and were surprised, were wandering among the two groups of people.
The two walked towards each other in circles, which happened to isolate the conversation between Shingen and Liu Shiba, which was relatively the highest level.
The two of them kept walking around to check for traces of lurking ninjas, while making sure that no one was around, and heard the slightest bit of conversation between Shingen and Liu Shiba...
"You look at my face like this, do you know that I am about to leave? This is a return to the light."
Takeda Shingen gasped in pain for a few times, and finally smiled and looked at Liu Shibadao.
Liu Shiba's expression did not change, and he nodded silently in agreement...
"I just made arrangements for my funeral arrangements with Nobufang Bachang and my two brothers Nobuhiro and Nobuhiro, and I no longer have any worries in my heart...
But before I went to see Amaterasu, I overheard some of your shocking descriptions of future generations, and I felt unwilling to do so...
I just reviewed many reasons in detail, and even judged whether the biggest reason why the Takeda family failed and was exterminated was my son Takeda Katsuyori?"
Takeda Shingen looked at Liu Shiba full of hope and asked. There was a desire for life on his face, but what was hidden in his eyes was - helplessness!
Liu Shiba was stunned when he heard this. Is this question similar to the old driver's question?
"Ahem!"
After clearing his throat, Liu Shiba thought about it, and finally thought about his poor Japanese pronunciation, and then looked directly at Takeda Shingen with expectant eyes!
The two stared silently at each other for only three or five breaths...
"Did Mr. Shingen forget? You once said that Katsuyori is the son of Kannosuke Yamamoto and Yubuki?"
Liu Shiba broke the stalemate between the two.
Takeda Shingen smiled mysteriously and said:
"I have to admit, you are very - smart!"
After a pause, Takeda Shingen's complexion suddenly changed from blue to flushing, and he began to pant violently...
Shingen grabbed Liu Shiba's hand and choked:
"I, I'm going to go after all..."
Liu Shiba sighed in his heart that a generation of military leaders had fallen, but he responded firmly:
"The Takeda flag! It will eventually be planted on the Kyoto Castle Tower, I promise..."
"Ahem!"
Takeda Shingen stubbornly held Liu Shiba's equally skinny hands and coughed:
"The Samurai family doesn't value direct bloodline so much, but the family name. As long as Katsuyori has the ability to carry forward Kai Takeda, unify it, and end this troubled world, that's enough..."
Liu Shiba nodded with admiration and said:
"I understand!"
"Before, you told me something about the illusory future! In it was the extinction of the Takeda family and the tragic defeat of Katsuyori.
After listening to this, I really doubted my own vision. In fact, the victory depended on the use of troops and temperament. It was the child closest to me. I didn't believe it, and I wasn't willing to accept it...
But before I die, I still want to hear from Mirai Katsuyori what he did wrong? Is that okay?"
Liu Shiba nodded cautiously, and after thinking deeply, he quietly took out his hands that were turned purple by Shingen, rubbed them a few times, then approached Takeda Shingen and whispered:
"Actually! Takeda Katsuyori has always been a scapegoat in historical records and is regarded as the biggest culprit for the collapse of the Takeda family.
As far as I understand, Katsuyori should actually be the most tragic family governor. Mr. Shingen, you are also cheating on me. Why don't you just pass the family governor to Katsuyori?
Then, he can at least win the support of all the retainers and generals of the Takeda family, so that when the time comes to go to war, the retainers and generals will not listen to the announcement, right?"
Shingen's eyes froze and he said:
"Nani? Taking the blame? Whose..."
Liu Shiba's lips trembled and he said softly:
"Katsuyori is the one who takes the blame. He took the blame for Lord Shingen..."
