Chapter 8: The Ninja Army
The cold wind swept away the fallen leaves, and the weather gradually became colder, especially in Owari Province, which is not far from the sea. People have added clothes to keep warm, and the caravan pedestrians on the road of the ancient wild city have gradually decreased, and the cold wind of the winter solstice has swept away the last yellow leaves in the ancient wild city. The training has been arranged by Nobuhide, and on the first day of winter, Owari will have an additional detailed explanation of the training.
After all, it is a soldier of a country, although there are few people, but it can also be regarded as a strict military discipline. Before the first day of day, nearly a thousand troops had gathered at the gate of the ancient city. The strength of the entire Owari Province is only 7,000 troops. And from these 7,000 troops, how can it be so easy to form the sixth regiment of the army. With the general's horseback whip, the mighty group also officially set off, and Guo Jia, who was standing on the city tower, also walked back to the house slowly. I don't know if the so-called wind volcanic forest will appear in Guo Jia's field of vision.
"Let's take a trip to Inuyama Castle tomorrow." Guo Jia wanted to take a look at the training progress of the other three cities, after all, the Sixth Regiment of the Army was a powerful boost, and this kind of thing could not be delayed and could not be lazy.
Guo Jia tiptoed into her room, took off her plush coat and watched Gui Die, who was sleeping on the tatami mat, slowly lying down beside her, staring at the ceiling in a daze. Gui Die whispered softly beside him, and at this time, Guo Jia also recalled the first time he appeared here, and his heart was mixed. "I don't know how my parents are doing now."
Guo Jia has not fallen asleep since he came back, he has deduced the situation of the entire island country in his mind, deduced a series of possible scenarios, and is also carefully looking for loopholes in his plan. Unify the entire island nation within thirty years. Yoshimoto Imagawa; Michizo Saito; Shingen Takeda...... A figure came to his mind, and plans for them gradually appeared.
The winter sun is always lazy, and he was late for work again today. Guo Jia, who had been lying on the tatami mat for nearly two hours, felt a glimmer of light from the outside world.
Guo Jia got up lightly and turned his head to look at Gui Die, who was already sleeping, put on his clothes and walked towards the city tower again. At this time, the ancient wild city was still sleeping, the doors and windows on the street were closed, and before people could wake up, Guo Jia slowly walked to the highest point of the ancient wild city and looked into the distance, and the soldiers in training had not yet appeared in his field of vision.
"Shao Hao is a false situation, I don't know what the soldiers want, the public is a small number of people, the soldiers are like gods, the soldiers are afraid of it, the enemy is afraid of it, and this martial arts is also victorious." This is an article written by the real Guo Jia to Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, and its intention is to inspire Cao Cao to fight against Yuan Shao. The meaning of this sentence is to lead the army, win more with less, and obey the fear of the enemy.
"A good sentence to defeat the crowd with less, a good sentence to win with martial arts!" The voice sounded behind Guo Jia.
Guo Jia had already heard the footsteps behind him, and this passage was not so much for himself as for the person behind him, no matter who he was, he would understand Guo Jia's way of using troops. That will make people more convinced. But what Guo Jia didn't expect was that the owner of the footsteps behind him was his father Nobuhide.
"Father." Guo Jia turned around and planned to bow, after all, etiquette is indispensable.
"Forget the red tape." Shin-so walked over directly and stopped Guo Jia with one hand on his shoulder. "Guo Jia. Are you checking your training progress for yourself? ”
"Yes." Guo Jia nodded and looked into the distance.
"Can you tell me how you plan to use these three months to form the Wind Volcano Forest?" Xinxiu stood beside Guo Jia and looked in the direction of Guo Jia's gaze.
"Its speed is like the wind, aggression is like fire, it is not moving like a mountain, its Xu is like a forest, it is difficult to know like a yin, and it is like a thunderstorm, which means that the military discipline of a legion is strict, but I don't think so, since it is divided into so many types, why not divide these six types into six legions in detail."
"It is as swift as the wind, and the army marches as swift as the wind. In the winter training, those present set off to catch up with the task of serving the general, and the fastest ones are not the so-called swift as the wind. In the process of returning to the city, the fastest person to return to the city can eat a hot meal, so isn't the fastest group of people just like aggression. ”
"It is as slow as a forest, and the army marches slowly, as neatly and strictly as a forest. In the second month, let the civilian official lead the team, isn't it because the civilian official is slow, let this group of soldiers follow him, and he will always see some people with this qualification. Immovable as a mountain means that they will become a team that cannot be broken by thunder and stability in the most difficult environment. ”
"It's hard to know what to say, I've already solved it for you." Nobuhide patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and handed him a strange token with the four characters Oda Guo Jia engraved on it to represent the owner.
"Thank you, Father!" Guo Jia's eyes showed excitement, he knew that the ninja legion he once wanted to build, Oda Nobuhide, had already helped him solve it. Is it hard to know what Yin can do? That's the ability to conceal and intelligence the horror! Imagine an all-ninja legion that would have infiltrated the enemy camp in advance and what horrific feats they would accomplish when war broke out!
"Your ninja legion is not very large, less than three hundred, and they are now in Takigawa Ichiyi to take over." Nobuhide tells Kakuka about his bribery of Koga and Iga ninjas, and that he doesn't do it for himself, but changes his employer's name to Kakuga. In other words, this is Guo Jia's own ninja army!
"The most important thing in this troubled world is a group of people who are hidden in the dark, intelligence, everything that moves will be done by this group of ninjas." Guo Jia smiled slowly.
"Look, they're back." Nobuhide looked at the horizon in the distance, where a group of people were rapidly approaching Nakono Castle, and the soldiers who had come out of training had returned.
"Let's train like this, in a few days I will personally go to Inuyama, Kiyosu, and Suemori to see the progress." Guo Jia didn't say anything when he saw this group of soldiers running over, so he let them train on their own.
"What's your next plan?" Nobu-su asked curiously, he knew that once this training was successful, Guo Jia would really start his plan, but he didn't know who Guo Jia's first target was.
"What's next? Unification Owari gives Imagawa Yoshimoto some pressure. Guo Jia said lightly.
That's right, once Owari Province is unified by Guo Jia, he will attack other surrounding cities, and once Imagawa Yoshimoto feels threatened, he will inevitably send troops to attack Owari. And now in the hands of Imagawa Yoshimoto, there are about 20,000 troops, if Imagawa Yoshimoto is not so arrogant in this era, basically this battle will be a one-sided trend, and even say that once Guo Jia makes a wrong move, he will lose everything! Don't forget that there is also a snake in the north that is also eyeing Owari Province.
"Unified Owari? Then I need to abdicate. Nobu-su had a smile of relief on his face. That's fine. Leave this era to you, a young man. ”
"Father, what are you talking about! Unified Owari is not something that can be done in a day or two, what will you think once you say that you want to give way to my brotherhood in the family. Let's take a long-term view of this matter. Guo Jia looked at his father in astonishment, but he didn't expect that this man had already planned to give way to him.
Although the establishment of the king is a great thing, but if you think about it carefully, since Owari is divided into four cities, once Nobuhide abdicates, then Guo Jia will face the strength of three cities, so he will have to start infighting before he can send troops to fight. What a waste of time.
"Good boy, then listen to you." Oda Nobuhide also looked at Guo Jia in surprise, how could anyone be disgusted after hearing that he was going to be the lord of a city. "Aren't you going to check out your ninja legion?"
"Huh? Good! Guo Jia's eyes lit up when he heard Xinxiu's words, and his face was full of joy.
The two of them walked slowly towards the main city tower, that is, while they were chatting, the ancient wild city gradually woke up, and there were scattered pedestrians on the road, and some shops had also opened. In fact, the renovation of the ancient city has been going on, but the speed is extremely slow, and some of the houses closest to the main city tower have been renovated, where are there still the appearance of broken grass houses in the past.
Guo Jia and the others finally returned to the city tower. The two of them walked and talked to the ninja legion's residence. It's just a simple thatched house, or the kind that has not been seriously renovated, but this thatched house is the size of a council hall, and it is still a little insufficient to accommodate two or three hundred people. There were four or five people standing outside the room, and their breath was well hidden. If it weren't for Guo Jia's eyes, he would really skip these people.
"Looks like this is a ninja." Guo Jia looked at these people excitedly, they are not dressed in black and full of mystery like anime, but they will disappear when they blend into the crowd like ordinary residents, and this is exactly what Guo Jia needs!
"Where's Takigawa Kazuki?" Guo Jia's voice came out, just enough for those few people to hear.
"The subordinates are here." Before a few people could speak, there was a sound of rustling above the house, and a figure appeared directly in front of Guo Jia, it was Takigawa Yiyi.
"Is this what a ninja is called?" Guo Jia had little contact with him before that.
"Enkaga, where are the Iga ninjas?" Guo Jia took out the strange token from his chest, but in an instant, nearly three hundred people appeared in Guo Jia and Xinxiu's field of vision. Some of the people were standing on top of the house, some were by the wall of the grass house, and two people also appeared next to Takigawa Kazuki.
Guo Jia had never seen such a situation, and his whole body trembled violently at the moment.
"Don't panic. They are all your men. Xinxiu patted Guo Jia on the shoulder, and Guo Jia also relaxed when he heard Xinxiu's words.
"Koga and the Iga ninjas, you are neighbors yourself, and now you are gathered together for the purpose of money, and the purpose of the people you assist is only this world!" Guo Jia settled down and said unhurriedly.
"What is your credo?" Guo Jia remembered a game he had played in the past and wondered if these ninjas also had their own creed.
"Survival." The two people behind Takigawa Ichiyi spoke.
"So are you willing to live a good life and be active on this battlefield for me? Do you want to live well and witness the scene of my unification of the world? Guo Jia asked two questions in a row, and some excitement flashed in the eyes of the group of people.
Almost all the employers of this group of ninjas ordered them to protect their employers, but this person gathered nearly three hundred ninjas in front of him, but his purpose was to unify the world!
"Willing to serve Guo Jiagong!" The voices were heard in unison, and now they were only saying it for money, and of course they would say it again from the bottom of their hearts before long.
"From now on, your numbers are as unknowable as a cloud!" Guo Jia's voice sounded, and he knew in his heart that these ninjas didn't really work for him, after all, they hadn't seen Guo Jia's methods. "The head of the regiment is Takigawa Kazuki."
In this way, Sun Tzu's Art of War, one of the six regiments, was officially established, and in the near future, this team will complete a lot of impossible things for Guo Jia, but this is a later story.
