Chapter 11 Leading the Horse
"In my eyes, Imagawa Yoshimoto is not to be feared." Guo Jia's words are full of pride and confidence! Everyone else could hear that his words said that he was indeed not afraid of Imagawa Yoshimoto now, which was self-confidence rather than arrogance.
"Why did Lord Guo Jia say this?"
Finally, wait for this person! The half-soldier guard in Takenaka, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between Guo Jia and Mitsuhide, spoke, he didn't want to wait any longer when he saw Mitsuhide at a disadvantage, since Guo Jia dared to call this name, then he dared to have a good chat with Guo Jia, this is the pride of a powerful strategist!
"Imagawa Yoshimoto, if he goes to Luo, where will he pass by?"
"Owari. There will be a war. ”
"If you must fight, why be afraid?"
"Five-fold force is inflicted on Owari, how can you not be afraid?"
Between the two questions and answers, they even made all the situation in Owari clear, not only analyzing the strength of Enoe Province but also revealing the disadvantages of Owari.
"Maybe Hanbei-kun thinks we are a little embarrassed. Hanging Castle, where is Narumi Castle, haven't you seen it clearly? Guo Jia's voice was mocking. The situation in Owari is indeed as Takenaka Hanbei said, but in the nearest place to Owari, there are two castles in Enoe Province, Narumi in the west, and Tsukiki in the east.
"But if the two cities that are taken by the troops will be attacked by the Yuanjiang Kingdom with all their might, what will Lord Guo Jia do at that time?" Of course, the Takenaka Hanbei knew the connection between these two castles and Owari, and to the north of them was Suemori Castle in Owari.
"Who said I was going to fight for these two cities? I'm not stupid. "Of course, Guo Jia has no intention of fighting for these two cities, once he attacks the Enjiang Kingdom, he will inevitably send troops in a big way, and now Owari can't stop it at all.
"Of course, just wait for them to come, put pressure on these two cities and wait for them to come, there is no need to occupy them." Guo Jia explained with a smile.
"I see." As a powerful strategist, Takenaka Hanbei already understood Guo Jia's thoughts. It's just that he doesn't want to say it, as for what Saito Michizo wants to know, just take the time to say it directly.
"Then what does Master Guo Jia think of the general trend in the world?"
"This world? One day, I will sweep away Liuhe, sweep the eight wildernesses, let the world from now on have a vigorous and resolute method, and there will be no seven-foot soldiers in troubled times, and the world will be martial! Guo Jia didn't even need to think about it, and directly said his true purpose.
"But there are many strong people in the world, how can you fight all the people in the world?" The Takenaka Hanbei had forgotten the usefulness of his goose feather fan, and there was an unbelievable look on his face.
"Dao Sheng, Yi Sheng, Zhi Sheng, Du Sheng, Mou Sheng, Virtue Sheng, Ren Sheng, Ming Sheng, Wen Sheng, Wu Sheng. I have ten victories, but others have ten defeats, why should I fight all the people in the world. Guo Jia moved out of the real Guo Jia set theory, intending to force the Takenaka half-guards to stop.
"Ten wins and ten defeats! I have heard of it in the following, but Guo Jia ...... My lord, I have crossed over under it. Takenaka Hanbei instantly said the source of the ten victories and ten defeats in Guo Jia's mouth, and instantly thought that the person in front of him actually used the article of the ancients thousands of years ago, and then he thought of some impossible things.
"It doesn't matter. Half-soldier, please speak. At this time, Guo Jia was confused by the half-guards of Takenaka, what did this kid say.
"Master Guo Jia, should I call you Lord Fengxiao or Lord Guo Jia?" Takenaka's eyes lit up, waiting for Guo Jia's answer, he knew that there was a possibility that Guo Jia's answer would subvert his view of the world.
"Oda Guojia will always be Oda Guojia, and it is impossible to compare with the ancients." Guo Jia shook his head, yes, although his name is Guo Jia, he is not the person who wrote the theory of ten wins and ten defeats, maybe he can't compare with him in this life.
"There is still something unclear below, and I hope Lord Guo Jia will answer." Takenaka's attitude towards Guo Jia has obviously improved, and his tone has become a lot more polite.
"Half-soldier-kun, please speak." Guo Jia returned the gift.
"I want to know the purpose of the adults coming to our Mino." Hanbei Takenaka didn't hide anything, and directly said the doubts in his heart and in the hearts of Michizo Saito and Akechi Mitsuhide.
"The purpose? Guidie hadn't seen her father for a long time, so I took her back to her parents' house to have a look. Guo Jia smiled, this is the truth.
"What?" The astonishment was mixed with the voices of three people, Michizo Saito, Akechi Mitsuhide, and Hanbei Takenaka! They never thought that Guo Jia would give such an answer. Because when a person in power meets a foreigner, that person is not a messenger. In this way, not only did Michizo Saito come with Akechi Mitsuhide, but he also informed the Takenaka Hanbei.
"It seems that we think too much, the person who comes is a guest, but we dance with the guest, and we think that we are full of economy but we have lost such a big person here." I have to say that there is no simple person seated, and it is Takenaka Hanbei who speaks, and his face is full of shame.
"The three major Daoists, the half-guards retired first." The Takenaka Hanbei stood up, bowed deeply to Michizo Saito, and left without waiting for him to speak. Because Hanbei knew that he couldn't talk about anything more, the person in front of him was not a thing in the pool at all, his words and deeds were really different from others, and this person himself had a lot of suspicions.
"Returning to the butterfly, it seems that being a father is also a little unsatisfactory. Mitsuhide, send an order down and let them prepare a banquet to receive our princess Mino. "Saito Michizo saw that his strongest strategist was gone, and he also knew that his side had lost this war of words! And he also saw that Guo Jia did not lobby their intentions, so he directly asked his subordinates to set up a banquet to entertain Guo Jia.
"Yes." Wise Mitsuhide had already been defeated, and when he saw the strategist he respected also retreated, he knew that the general trend had gone, so it was better to obey his boss and order someone to entertain Guo Jia and them.
Hanbei and Mitsuhide walked out of the council hall one after the other, so that there were only three people left. And Saito Michizo also talked to Guidie without caring about Guo Jia's feelings, and it happened that Guo Jia was idle. Not long ago, he had a verbal battle with two powerful Mino strategists, and if he didn't like to read more ancient texts, he probably might have been defeated. He looked at Michizo Saito and watched him closely.
Saito Michizo used to be an oil seller, but just such an oil seller seized the power of Mino, so in the world, Mino is a country that is inferior to the top, and in the near future, Michizo's righteous son Saito Yoshiryu will kill his father and the monarch to seize his power.
Perhaps after being watched by Guo Jia for a long time, Saito Michizo also felt Guo Jia's gaze and turned his head to look at him.
"Guo Jia, thank you."
"The three major Daoists are serious, and it is not a big deal for the father and daughter to see each other, since Gui Die misses you. Then I should have brought her over to have a look. Guo Jia respects the person in front of him very much, because of his identity, the king of the oil merchant!
"Guo Jia, do you really plan to unify the world?" Suddenly, Michizo Saito asked.
Guo Jia already knew this question in his heart, since he was given the opportunity, why not seize it. Unifying the world is just his small wish, and he has long set his sights on the distant Central Plains, where is his home, and it is reasonable for him to go home, of course, Guo Jiake has no intention of invading the Central Plains, just because it is his home. But Europe is different, the so-called Southern Barbarian Land, if you have the opportunity, of course, you have to go and have a look.
"Unify the world? It's just a gesture, and my goal is the Southern Barbarians! Guo Jia's tone was firm, and he couldn't see Saito's face.
"Then why don't you set your sights on the Central Plains? It's so big and it's so close to us! Saito Michizo's words made Guo Jia stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the man in front of him, who had almost retired, to put his heart so far away.
But Daosan's question stumped Guo Jia, and Guo Jia couldn't answer this question. It is true that the island country is very close to the Central Plains, and if Guo Jia is given a goal, he will definitely choose the Central Plains from an objective point of view, but Guo Jia can't go there, because it was his home. At this time, Guo Jia could only find an excuse to push this matter away.
"Central Plains. The land is vast and rich, but we don't know the strength of the Central Plains, and even the Nanban who travels around the world doesn't know the strength there. Guo Jiaqiang pretended to be calm and shook his head.
"Since we don't know how strong it is, it's better to take a long detour to the land of the Southern Barbarians, if it is quickly occupied by our side, the entire Central Plains will be caught by us, and the east and west will exert force at the same time, so that we will be more sure to seize the Central Plains." Guo Jia frowned, pretending to analyze the strength of the Central Plains and the tactics of attacking it.
"I can't fight a battle that I don't know if I don't know, because it will cost my soldiers and the city-states I control. Nakahara is not my next target. Guo Jia shook his head heavily, overturning Saito's plan.
"Oh, can you tell me what you think of the world?" Saito Michizo's solemn look startled Guo Jia and Guidie.
"The island country itself is very strong, in fact, it is still in the era of cold weapons, and it scoffs at the iron cannon of the Southern Barbarians, but it doesn't know that this thing will one day replace the bow and arrow, and it will also cause more damage than the bow and arrow. The shogun and the shogunate sat in such a small corner, not knowing how deep the sky was. They may not know that on the other side of the distant sea, not only the Central Plains, but also the continents of Western Europe and South America, we are less than one-tenth of them. Those in power are short-sighted and will only blindly seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so that one day he will face destruction! Everything will eventually perish in their hands! ”
"Forehead......" Saito Michizo couldn't say anything anymore, he didn't expect that the person in front of him, who was not yet twenty years old, had such a lofty view, and it was even higher than his own vision, and his vision was only to see this island country.
And the young man in front of him saw the whole world, as if everything was in his hands, everything in the world was in front of his eyes, he didn't expect that when he looked at the island country, someone had already set his goal on the whole world, maybe his retirement was a little early, maybe he should return to power and see how vast the world is with this young man.
Michizo Saito smiled, his laughter with boldness and sadness. Under the gaze of Guo Jia and Guidie, there were tears in his eyes, yes, this world belongs to them, and he can't keep up with the rhythm.
"Father?"
"Father-in-law?"
Guo Jia and Guidie didn't understand why Michizo Saito shed tears in the midst of laughter.
"I think I've lived for decades, and I haven't had the eyes of my son. Your eyes are on this world and I am staring at the power in front of me, and even my successor is only looking forward to how to do the next business in Mino. It's sad and lamentable! Maybe my children and grandchildren will have to be slaves to you after all! ”
