Chapter IV: Pre-War Assessment (I)
Xuankong suddenly remembered that there were three people, Ming Shan, Ming Hai and Master Xianfa. The three of them are good to themselves, and they have to find a way to rescue them. Thinking of this, Genku felt that he had a heavy burden on his shoulders again, and tomorrow no matter what, he would have to ask Nobunaga to agree to go out of the house, and even if he didn't succeed, he would come back alive and borrow the three of them and go to other temples in the region together.
Thinking about it, he closed his slightly tired eyes in the air. In his dream, he saw his parents, teachers, and friends, and maybe now they are worried about him.
The next day, Genku got up early and went to the place where Akechi Mitsuhide had gathered all the samurai. Xuankong is dressed as a monk and soldier, coupled with his tall figure, which is really eye-catching. The samurai talked a lot, and several close attendant samurai yesterday came forward to greet Xuankong when they saw Xuankong coming. Xuankong also responded one by one.
Soon after, a wise Mitsuhide, dressed in a gorgeous curly belly, came to everyone. The samurai immediately stopped talking and bowed their heads. Akechi Mitsuhide also said a few words of encouragement to the samurai, and then selected seven samurai from these samurai to follow him to Nobunaga's main camp. Among them, Xuankong is naturally indispensable.
On the way, Xuankong followed the back of the line with a large naginata, and his mind was full of ways to show how to show his ability. Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the paper in his hand from time to time and whispered something. The rest of the close samurai watched around vigilantly, for fear of a sneak attack by the monks of Mt. Hiei.
It didn't take long for Akechi Mitsuhide and his party to arrive at Nobunaga's main camp, which was heavily protected. Oda Nobunaga did not live in the army like many generals. Instead, he requisitioned the small courtyard of the nearby wealthy clan and temporarily lived in it to recuperate.
Akechi Mitsuhide explained to Ma Hui, who was guarding the front of the courtyard (who had just beaten it for convenience), and brought Genku into the courtyard. The weapons of the two were naturally kept by Ma Hui. The rest of the Akechi Mitsuhide attendants stood not far from the door, waiting for Akechi Mitsuhide to finish pacifying.
After Akechi Mitsuhide entered the courtyard with Genku, he ordered Genku to kneel in the courtyard and wait for his summons. Then Akechi Mitsuhide walked towards the house in the courtyard. The middle and low-level samurai around Xuankong all looked at Xuankong dressed as monks, and many of the samurai glared angrily at Xuankong. Genku ignored these glances and concentrated on organizing the language of Nobunaga's meeting later.
Soon, a strong samurai dressed in bright armor walked into the courtyard, and when the samurai in the courtyard saw it, they shouted, "Lord Shibata, the martial arts are prosperous." Xuankong looked up at the strong warrior at this time, just in time to intertwine his gaze. The strong warrior stopped and asked a warrior beside Xuankong, "Liubei, who is this Shamen?" ”
When the samurai named Rokbei heard this, he immediately replied, "Shibata-sama, this is brought in by Akechi-sama. After Xuankong heard the conversation between Shibata and the six soldiers, he got up and said to Shibata Katsuie: "Under is the Ming Kingdom Zen Shamen, Your Excellency is 'Cutting Bottle Shibata', Shibata Katsuya-sama?" ”
After hearing this, Shibata Katsuya smiled and said to the tall samurai behind him: "Sheng Zheng, it seems that my uncle, my name, is already known to the world. And the tall warrior also smiled and said, "Yes, my uncle is brave and brave, and the whole world knows it." At this time, a samurai sitting near the front row in the courtyard got up and walked up to Xuankong, bowed to Xuankong, and said in Chinese: "Fortunately, in Shimosasa, I will help Seimasa." ”
Genku was also a little surprised now, but he didn't expect to see one of the four heavenly kings of the Oda family and two famous warriors at once. Then another samurai, who was sitting in the front row, got up and came to Genku's side and said in Japanese, "In Shimo-Maeda, Maemon Toshiya." ”
Genku immediately said to everyone in Japanese: "It is a great honor to meet all the fierce generals under the command of Nobunaga today. After listening to Xuankong's words, the samurai's malice towards Xuankong suddenly decreased a lot. At this time, the high-ranking samurai, who was sitting in the room, thought that his face was serious, and said to everyone, "The lord is coming, so you should sit down quickly." ”
After hearing this, Shibata Katsuya and the others nodded at Xuankong, and then each returned to his place. Genku also sat down again, but by this time, a few of the samurai beside him had already come up to talk. And the man named Liubei whispered to Xuankong and asked, "Master Mingguo, what are you doing here?" Do you have to dissuade the lord from giving up the attack on the mountain gate? ”
After hearing this, Xuankong said to the six guards: "When I came down here, I meant to be from Nobunaga. The six guards were a little excited when they heard this, and said to Xuankong: "If you have a skill, the lord will definitely allow you to go out of your own family." After that, the six guards said to Xuankong again: "In Shimokawajiri six soldiers to show filial piety, I hope to give a lot of advice." ”
Just as Genku was thinking about the surname Kawajiri, Oda Nobunaga, who was holding a folding fan and wearing a delicate carcass, entered the courtyard where everyone gathered. The samurai who had been communicating instantly fell silent and bowed to Oda Nobunaga. Nobunaga, on the other hand, walked briskly into the house with the little surname behind him.
Afterwards, the generals in the house reported to Oda Nobunaga on the recent work. Genku sat away from the house, still excited to see the real Oda Nobunaga, and didn't care about what was reported in the house at all.
Until Oda Nobunaga's little surname came to Xuankong and said to Xuankong: "The lord of this family invites Mingguo Shamen House to speak." Xuankong came back to his senses from the fugue, and immediately got up and followed Oda to the front of the house.
As soon as Xuankong came to the front of the house, he heard a more sharp voice coming from the house, "Since it is the Shamen of the Ming Kingdom, there is no need to perform the salute of our country." After hearing this, Xuankong sat on the futon prepared by Oda's surname, and said to Oda Nobunaga in the house: "In the Shamen Xuankong of the Lower Ming Kingdom, meet Nobunaga." ”
After listening to Xuankong's words, Oda Nobunaga in the house asked directly at Xuankong, "I heard that you want to go out of the Shihon's family?" After hearing this, Xuankong immediately replied: "Exactly, I heard that Nobunaga knows how to use people well, and his strategy is unparalleled, and he can become the overlord of the world, so I came to see Nobunaga's spirit." ”
After listening to Genku's words, Oda Nobunaga laughed and said: "Don't say anything hypocritical, listen to what Mitsuhide said, you are not only knowledgeable in Buddhism, but also proficient in the art of war and military strategy, if so, I will test you." Oda Nobunaga didn't wait for Genku's answer, and then asked, "In your opinion, where is the Buddha?" ”
As soon as Oda Nobunaga said this, Genku suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the assessment room had become delicate. At this time, a general in the room came out and said: "Lord, Hiei Mountain is a holy place, Yanqing Temple has countless scriptures, and there are many monks and soldiers to protect it, so you must not attack it easily." After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga suddenly got up and shouted, "Nobumori shut up, why are you so rude." With that, he walked towards the sky.
Genku took a few deep breaths, and when Oda Nobunaga walked in front of him, he said, "The Buddha is here. When Genkong said this, everyone was shocked, and Oda Nobunaga laughed and asked, "Who can be called a 'Buddha' here?" ”
