~.&1t;>-~Chapter 367 Combat Power
Kato Yoshiaki was frightened by Ishikawa Goemon's words, he couldn't help but shudder, and said eagerly: "This ...... This...... Lord, after three months, can Ishikawa Goemon help his subordinates remove this 'blood interception'? ”
Liu Yu smiled faintly and said in a deep voice: "This depends on your work attitude." Assuming that one qiē is good, you can rest assured that before the deadline, I will let Goemon unravel the 'Blood-Intercepting Force' for you, but if you are half-hearted and creacherous, then you will inevitably have to try the taste of ten thousand ants before you die......"
Dripping with cold sweat, Kato Yoshiaki said with dry lips: "Yes...... Be...... The subordinates remembered ......"
Nodding, Liu Yu said again: "Now, you tell me first, what is the combat power that Toyotomi Hideyoshi can call on now!" ”
Kato Yoshiaki replied without hesitation: "Because of the endless uprisings in various places, Oda Nobunaga has allocated manpower to various places to suppress them. Therefore, the Nizi Ten Banners and others who were originally under the command of Toyotomi Hideyoshi have all left, and those who remain in the territory of Sumamata Castle and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's territory are all direct samurai of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Among them, the most outstanding are Kato Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori, Takenori Kakuya, Katagiri Kazumoto, Hirano Nagayasu, and Wakisaka Yasuharu, who are nicknamed 'Shigatake Seven Guns', and although their subordinates are not talented, they are also ranked fifth. Each of the seven of us had a number of samurai ranging from 200 to 300 in his hands, and he was the most important foreign expeditionary force for Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
The combat effectiveness is under the 'Shidake Seven Guns' is the 'Five Commissions', they are Ishida Mitsunari, Maeda Genyi, Asano Nagamasa, Masuda Nagamori, and Nagashu Masaka. Each of these five people has more than a hundred subordinates, and although they are not as elite as the Hachimoto samurai, they are also better than the average Toei samurai.
The Gojo was not responsible for frontal combat, they mainly did some 'dirty work', such as helping Toyotomi Hideyoshi to take care of the land trade, chasing down thieves and criminals, intimidating ordinary people and merchants, and forcibly seizing mine land...... By the way, some time ago, my subordinates heard that Genyi Maeda went to chase down Lord Ishikawa Goemon with his subordinates, and it seems that he hasn't come back yet, so I don't know if it's ......"
Liu Yu also remembered that Maeda Genyi had practiced in some temple, but he was a little strange why the news of his death reached Kato Yoshiaki's ears, knowing that he did not clean up the scene at that time. However, these are all end-of-the-minute problems, so there is no need to dwell on them, so he just nodded and said, "Maeda Xuanyi and the corpses of his subordinates, I'm afraid they have turned into agricultural fertilizer at this time......"
Kato Yoshiaki looked terrified, and continued the previous topic under Liu Yu's gesture: "In addition to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's direct subordinates, there is also a 'Bee Suka Party', whose leader is Bee Suga Koroku, and the deputy leaders are Maeno Nagayasu, Inada Daisuke and Aoyama Shinshichi......"
"Bee Suga Xiaoliu...... "Liu Yu still remembers this guy who pretended to be a ghost warrior and tricked him. It can be said that in this world, in addition to Ransen Maru and Yamanaka Shikanosuke, the two guys who have executed him, the character of Wasuka Koroku, who deceived Liu Yu, is what he wants to eradicate the most. Even, on the list of characters that Liu Yu wants to eradicate, Bee Suga Koroku is ranked above Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Oda Nobunaga!
Noticing the undisguised murderous aura on Liu Yu's face, Kato Yoshiaki shuddered, and explained obediently: "Beesuka Koroku is a local tyrant power leader in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's territory, and he took refuge in the past long before Toyotomi Hideyoshi was appointed as the lord of Sumamata Castle, and he can be regarded as deeply trusted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Because Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself failed to get the effect of a powerful ninja, and Wasuka Koroku was proficient in disguise and tracking, he was appointed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the head of intelligence, and with the help of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's henchmen Inada Daisuke and Aoyama Shinchi, he established an espionage organization called the 'Beesuka Party'......"
Liu Yu nodded and said softly: "After you return to Momata City, it seems like a way to let these people gather, so that I can solve it at once, lest I have to chase and kill them one by one at that time!" ”
Kato Yoshiaki was stunned, and said tentatively: "Lord, in fact, the combat effectiveness of Sumamata Castle itself is very strong!" Although the 'Shichihongun' was the most commonly used combat unit under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it was not the unit he relied on the most. His most trusted unit was the Yellow Mother, a guard he established in imitation of Oda Nobunaga's Black Mother, numbering about 500 men!
This yellow mother is led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself, and his deputies are Kuroda Kanbei and Kinoshita Koichiro! In addition, there is also the mountain patrol unit led by the Nakamura Kazuji, and the main defense object of this unit is the 'skylight', which is the place where extraterrestrial demons often appear. Although this force is the weakest in combat, it has a large number of people, 1,800 people......"
Waving his hand, Liu Yu said disapprenosingly: "It's okay, tomorrow my reinforcements will arrive in 66 consecutive rows, and they will all be assembled in three days." Although the number of troops and masters at that time cannot be compared with Oda Nobunaga's headquarters, it is no problem to deal with only one Toyotomi Hideyoshi! ”
Kato Yoshiaki's expression was relaxed, but he immediately made a loyal appearance again, and said: "My lord, although the strength of our side is superior to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, in order to avoid losses, it is better for us to break them individually......"
"No need." Liu Yu frowned slightly and said, "I don't have that much time, I need to do my best to seize Momata City and stabilize this territory...... You don't need to say any more, all you have to do is gather all of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's men and let me get rid of them all at once! ”
Liu Yu also knew that his decision would cause a lot of losses to his side, but he didn't care, what did you Dongying people do to him? As long as he can achieve his goal!
Moreover, in addition to the wise family and the Uesugi family, there are many loyal subordinates of the daimyo who were exterminated by Oda Nobunaga, and the role of "cannon fodder" can be played by them.
Anyway, there is an Ishikawa Goemon in the wise family, and there is a Uesugi Chiano in the Uesugi family, and the other forces have no clampers, so it is easy to have two hearts towards Liu Yu and it is difficult to obey the discipline. Even if Liu Yu uses ruthless means to suppress it for a while, once Liu Yu is not in this world for a long time, it is impossible to say that those characters will have other ideas.
Even if Liu Yu has such miraculous skills as charming, he can't "seduc~ confuse" or "convince" those people one by one, right? Rather than trouble in the future, it is better to let those people and Toyotomi Hideyoshi lose both......
It is estimated that he was frightened by Liu Yu's frowning appearance, and Kato Yoshiaki, who was still in a state of "intimidation", shuddered again, and nodded busily: "Lord...... You can rest assured that your subordinates will do their best to complete the task and gather all of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's direct subordinates...... In three days, your subordinates will be waiting for you under Sumamata Castle...... However, my lord, please keep it a secret, otherwise with Toyotomi Hideyoshi's vicious nature, his subordinates will definitely die ugly......"
Liu Yu said: "Don't worry, how could I reveal your identity." ”
Swallowing his saliva, Kato Yoshiaki said again: "Please be sincere in my heart...... When the March period comes, I must ask Ishikawa Goemon-sama to unravel the 'Blood-Intercepting Force' for me. ”
Liu Yu smiled and said, "It depends on how your watch is...... Kato Yoshiaki, as long as you are worthy of me, then I will never treat you badly! ”
Kato Yoshiaki said with a sad face: "Certainly, certainly...... The lord is relieved......"
As soon as his right hand was loosened, the three fingers that threatened Kato Yoshiaki's life left his neck, and Liu Yu said in a low voice: "If you just retreat unharmed, won't Toyotomi Hideyoshi suspect you?" ”
Shocked, Kato Yoshiaki said painfully, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not a fool, he will definitely be suspicious...... All of my men are dead, and I am personally present without any injuries, how can he not pursue it? ”
Liu Yu thought for a while and said, "Then, I think you have to have some injuries to be realistic, and besides, the injuries you bring must be trustworthy!" ”
Kato Yoshiaki said fearfully: "But...... Lord, I can't hurt too badly...... In three days, I'm going to wait for a dispatch from Sumamata Castle......"
"Your injuries should look scary, but in fact, they can't hinder your mobility......" Liu Yu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "You prepare, it may be a little painful!" ”
Gritting his teeth, Kato Yoshiaki said in a trembling voice, "Okay...... Lord...... You can do it......"
Liu Yu's right hand came so fast, it was like a lightning flash in the sky, and it slashed to Kato Yoshiaki's waist in the blink of an eye, an instinctive reaction of a martial arts practitioner prompted Kato Yoshiaki to dodge involuntarily, but Liu Yu's right hand was even faster, suddenly slanting down, and had hit Kato Yoshiaki's back ruthlessly and accurately.
Although it was only a blow, dozens of bloody and terrible scars appeared on Kato Yoshiaki's back, and in the butterfly-like rags, Liu Yu's left hand gently landed on Kato Yoshiaki's chest, and the "click" sounded, breaking Kato Yoshiaki's right two ribs!
Kato Yoshiaki's face was like white paper, his anger was like a gossamer, he almost fainted in pain, and he couldn't help but sit on the ground, his whole body twitched, and even his lips were blue!
Standing quietly aside, Liu Yu leaned down slightly, and said in a low voice: "Kato Yoshiaki, although the scars on your back look blurred with flesh and blood, they are all flesh and skin wounds, and they have not been implicated in the muscles and bones, after applying the medicine, you will recover after resting for two days, in order to prove that you have indeed lost your ability to fight on the spot tonight, I have to break your two ribs again, the broken ribs can still be connected, and you can still move reluctantly, but at the time of the broken ribs, it is enough to make people fall down in pain, about this knowledge, I believe Toyotomi Hideyoshi will also know......"
With a "silk" in his mouth, Kato Yoshiaki gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and under the beads of sweat the size of soybeans, he moaned: "Thank you, lord...... So thoughtful...... But...... I'm a little ...... I can't take it anymore......"
Liu Yu smiled and said, "It'll be fine if you endure for a while, Kato Yoshiaki, you must understand that the bitter meat plan should be like the bitter meat plan, and those who learn to go undercover should first know how to suffer ......"
Choking for a moment, Kato Yoshiaki said with a knot in his tongue, "Yes...... Be...... The lord is wise......"
Liu Yu looked around left and right, and did not look at the shadow of any living person, there was silence all around, it was a silence like death, and he said with satisfaction: "Very good, that's it, Kato Yoshiaki, only the three of us know about our secret agreement, and I have never seen that there are other living people who can eavesdrop." ”
Suddenly, Kato Yoshiaki muttered, "I want to ...... The samurai stationed in Mikawa Town don't dare to go this way again......"
Ishikawa Goemon shook his head and said, "I don't dare for the time being, but after a while, if there is no movement here, I think they will still come over to investigate...... Kato Yoshiaki, you just lie down and pretend to be dead for the time being, and the lord and I will take the first step, and we will meet at noon in three days under Sumamata Castle! ”
When Kato Yoshiaki took the opportunity to lie down and pretend to be dead to "recuperate", Liu Yu and Ishikawa Goemon had already left quietly under the cover of darkness......
##############################################
Mikawa-cho suburban trade road, dusk.
Liu Yu and Ishikawa Goemon are still dressed the same as they were last night, but they don't have dust-proof face covers. They are not afraid that someone will see something, after all, Kato Yoshiaki's headquarters samurai have been killed, and the samurai stationed here in Mikawa Town have already been killed, and they themselves are panicking, for fear that someone will kill the door again, how can they run out to "search for suspects" before reinforcements come?!
Therefore, Liu Yu and Ishikawa Goemon will appear near Mikawa Town. Now, they are sitting in a tea shed on the side of the road, two people facing each other and drinking tea from a clay bowl.
Nowadays, the sunset is slanting in the west, the sky is full of red clouds, and the scenery is miserable and gorgeous, so beautiful. On the post road in the distance, there was suddenly a sharp sound of horses' hooves, the dust was high, and it was a horse team!
There were no other guests in the shed except for Liu Yu and Ishikawa Goemon, and as soon as the noisy and sharp sound of horses' hooves came, the two were alert, and Ishikawa Goemon looked sideways at the window.
The group of iron horsemen numbered about fifty, and the horsemen were all dressed in pure white shiny brocade white robes, turbans of the same color, white and black boots, and each of them was carrying a black sheath katana diagonally behind their backs, all of them had a fierce expression and a fierce bearing, and at a glance they knew that they were all elite samurai at the flag level!
The two are thin and cold, the other is fair-skinned and beardless, heroic and handsome; The other, with a strange and burly figure, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a big black face full of beards, looks brave and fearless!
Sitting still, Liu Yu raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "But they are here?" ”
Ishikawa Goemon nodded with a smile and said, "It's them, and the leaders are the masters that my stepfather trusted and relied on the most. The handsome one is the wise Samahashi, and the rough one is the Saito Toshizo ......"
"Wise Left Horse Bridge?" Liu Yu touched his chin and said, "I think I've heard of it......"
Ishikawa Goemon explained: "Akechi Samahashi is a member of the Akechi family, his original name was Miyake Yaheiji, and he was the eldest son-in-law of my stepfather, and before the collapse of the Akechi family, he was the lord of Fukuchiyama Castle. At that time, his position in the wise family was still above his subordinates, and he was one of the five elders of the wise family, and he followed my stepfather to various places and made a lot of contributions. At the time of the Honnoji Incident, Samahashi followed my father-in-law and acted as the vanguard of the attack on the territory of the Oda clan in Kinai, and then captured and defended Azuchi Castle.
After capturing Azuchi Castle, which was garrisoned by the old Niwa Nagahide of the Oda family, Samahashi served as the garrison of Azuchi Castle of the Akechi family. When I got the news that my father-in-law was defeated and killed in Yamazaki, Samahashi led the defenders of Azuchijo Castle to the rescue, but was defeated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the way, and finally escaped single-handedly, wandering the world in search of an opportunity to avenge my father-in-law......"
Frowning slightly, Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "In this way, the influence and control power of this wise Zuo Maqiao in the wise family are above you?" Liu Yu pondered whether to let the wise left horse bridge "heroically and righteously" in this battle against Sumamata Castle, otherwise, it would bring strong resistance to the Ishikawa Goyouemon control zhì wise family forces.
However, Ishikawa Goemon's answer made Liu Yu temporarily put aside the idea of plotting wisely Zuomaqiao: "Don't worry, my lord, Zuomaqiao can't hinder our career!" His direct subordinates have long been killed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and for those wise family forces who are hidden in the shadows, the position of the righteous son of the wise family under him is the same as that of the son-in-law of the wise family, and they will not have the psychology of favoring anyone.
And Saito Rizo's influence and influence in the wise family are not under the left horse bridge, and he is absolutely loyal to my godfather, and after his subordinates showed the family heirloom of the wise family in their hands, the Chidori incense burner, Saito Rizo is also the first person to swear allegiance to his subordinates. Because on his deathbed, the father-in-law said that whoever obtains the incense burner of a thousand birds will inherit the position of governor of the wise family. Therefore, even if Zuomaqiao wants to seize the power of the wise family, it is impossible......"
As he spoke, Ishikawa Goemon said again: "Lord, they are near, and the subordinates will go out first and call them in?" ”
Liu Yu nodded and said, "You go." ”
So, Ishikawa Goemon immediately got up and jumped out of the tea shed, he stood on the side of the road and waved his hand repeatedly, wise Zuomahashi's sharp eyes, and immediately felt Ishikawa Goemon's movements, he was stunned and laughed and said: "Saito Toshisan, look, that guy from Goemon is greeting us......"
Saito Rizo looked at it and couldn't help but nod and smile; "It's really a young master...... By the way, you can't call him 'Young Master', Goemon said that he helped our wise family find a wise and promising lord, and let us call him 'Lord'...... Since he appeared here, I guess the mysterious lord must be nearby......"
At this time, they had come to five meters in front of Ishikawa Goemon. Saito Rizo raised his left arm and let out a roar from his mouth, and the cavalry stopped their horses.
Saito Rizo turned over and dismounted, and the wise Zuomaqiao immediately followed, and with a fist, Saito Rizo stepped on two steps: "Subordinates see adults!" My lord, is it here? ”
Ishikawa Goemon smiled and gave Akechi Samahashi and Saito Toshizo a hug respectively, and said, "The lord is in the tea shed." ”
