Yagyu Jubei already knew the reason why Tokugawa Iemitsu did this, and in order to let him vent, he agreed. ~Top Novel,

With their protective gear and wooden swords in hand, the two sides began to confront each other cautiously, while trying to find an opportunity to attack.

The timing of the attack is related to many factors, such as breathing, changes in strength, sensation and movement, etc.

When everything is in their favor, they will strike the hardest at their opponents.

This is what Miyamoto Musashi said in "The Thirty-five Solid Rules of the Art of War".

At the same time they retreat extremely slowly, and then free up a certain distance.

Free up distance is very advantageous for both the attacker and the defender, and long enough distance for the defender to give him enough time to react.

It is also possible for the attacker to increase their own impact.

At this moment, Tokugawa Iemitsu had a smug smile on his face.

The blinding sunlight shone on Yagyu Shibei's eyes, causing him to squint tightly.

Before Yanagi arrived, Tokugawa Iemitsu had already occupied a favorable position, so that the sun would only shine in Yanagi's eyes.

Despicable, it's this trick again, Yanagi Shibei scolded secretly.

I saw Tokugawa Iemitsu yell, and then he slashed at Yanagi Shibei.

Yagyu Shibei's one-eyed was neither sad nor joyful, and the wooden sword in his hand was like a divine help to accurately block Tokugawa Iemitsu's downward slash.

It's just that because of all kinds of disadvantages, coupled with the fact that the Demin family is quite amazing. It made Yanagi Shibei's body shake slightly.

Tokugawa Iemitsu also noticed this detail. It made him feel a little happy.

So he then attacked Yanagi Shibei fiercely. The wooden swords in the hands of the two kept fighting together, making bursts of sounds.

I saw that Liu Sheng's ten guards stepped on the yin and yang steps, and their two feet flickered left and right, forward and backward.

Advance with your right foot and follow with your left foot immediately.

Step back with your right foot and immediately retract your left foot.

The whole pace was like a cloud of water, and it soon blocked Tokugawa Iemitsu's approach.

I don't know why, Tokugawa Iemitsu feels that he is getting braver and braver today.

There were a few times when Yagyu Jubei wanted to move to his right. But they were all beaten.

His attacks were like a storm, and wave after wave attacked Yanagi Jubei.

It didn't take long for the Yanagi Shibei, who was usually "half a catty and eight taels" with him, to be defeated by him.

Seeing this, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt even more excited.

So he stepped up his offensive, one move after another, and forced Yanagi Shibei to be embarrassed.

I don't know when, the gloomy Yanagi Zongju came here.

Seeing the mighty Tokugawa Iemitsu, Yagyu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

But he didn't bother with the competition, but watched it all quietly.

After about three minutes, Yagyu Jubei finally 'stopped'. The sword in his hand was swept away by the Tokugawa family.

Seeing this, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but laugh. The depressed mood in my heart has long been swept away.

It was the first time he had fought with Yagyu Shibei so heartily, and it felt so refreshing.

Yagyu Shibei couldn't help but touch his head a little swollen, and it was not easy to cooperate with the shogun just right.

Tokugawa Iemitsu stepped forward, picked up the wooden sword of the Yagyu Ten Guards, and handed it into the hands of the Yagyu Ten Guards.

"Well, has my swordsmanship improved a lot?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu said proudly.

"Shogun-sama Kamui, how can Yagyu-sama be your opponent."

Several samurai next to him slapped their ass.

Hearing this, Yagyu Shibei felt speechless for a while.

But soon he nodded, there are too many troubles for the general, so let him be happy.

Yanagi Zongju was slightly puzzled, could it be that Yanagi Shibei, who had always disliked the general, also opened up?

Seeing Yagyu Jubei nodding, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt even happier.

He felt that his swordsmanship had really improved a lot, and he might have obtained a lot of true inheritance from the Yanagi sect.

What he didn't know was that a few years later, he felt that his swordsmanship had become a success, and he planned to go out of the palace masked to find a samurai to compete.

As a result, he was discovered by Yagyu Jubei, who was leading the team on patrol at the time, and Yanagi, who did not recognize his own general, made a full move, and as a result, Tokugawa Iemitsu was knocked to the ground with one move.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was so angry that he swept Yanagi Shibei out of the house, and since then Yanagi Shibei has embarked on his own path of martial arts cultivation.

At this time, Yagyu Munyoki coughed lightly, and Tokugawa Iemitsu found out that Yagyu Munyoki was coming.

"When did you come, and is there anything wrong?"

Seeing that Yagyu Muneki's face was a little serious, Tokugawa Iemitsu hurriedly asked.

"I just got the news that the enemy dispatched about 100 warships and about 20,000 men and horses to capture Tsushima Island."

Yanagi said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but be surprised.

Did the war really break out?

Tokugawa Iemitsu suddenly felt a little panicked, when the war did not break out, he was extremely contemptuous of the Ming Dynasty.

He believed that their kingdom would be able to defeat the weak Ming Dynasty, and that he would surpass Toyotomi Hideyoshi for the greatest feat since the founding of Japan.

But when the war really broke out, he felt a little scared of himself.

After all, he was fighting against a real behemoth, and the first war in Korea had proved that the Ming Dynasty's combat power was far above Japan.

He was not Tokugawa Ieyasu, nor Oda Nobunaga nor Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

He's just a teenager.

And I'm afraid that even if they are against the Ming Dynasty, they will not dare to win easily.

The first great war was about to be fought against such a powerful enemy, and he felt a little frightened.

Yagyu easily spotted the fear in Tokugawa Iemitsu's eyes, which made Yanagi Soki sigh softly.

After all, he is a young man, and he has never experienced war.

If it's Tokugawa Ieyasu. I'm afraid that even fear will not move.

Yagyu munchi coughed softly. Then he reminded him, "General." Let's go and gather the ministers to discuss this matter. ”

"That's right! Right!! Go and call Naotaka Ii, Toshikatsu Doi, and Tadashi Sakai, and let's discuss how to deal with the enemy. ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu said in a hurry as if he had found a straw to save his life.

Yanagi glanced at the samurai around him, and those samurai quickly sent people to these elders, elders, and elders to discuss matters.

Tokugawa Iemitsu also felt his gaffe, so he forced himself to calm down, and then invited Yagyu Muneki into the main hall, and the others, including Yagyu Shibei, were turned away.

It didn't take long for one shogunate elder after another to be invited. Then he went into the temple and took counsel about the matter.

Yanagi Shibei watched all this silently from outside the hall.

The discussion was that in the evening, after the change of Yanagi Shibei, his father did not return home until after dinner.

"How's the discussion going?"

Yagyu Shibei asked as he took a sip of tea.

"How can it be, of course it's hit. The Shogun has ordered all the daimyo to gather their troops and go to Kyushu to prepare for a great battle with the Ming Dynasty. In addition, he also ordered to start recruiting wandering samurai and ninja troops, preparing to fight the Ming army to the death. ”

Yanagi said a little tiredly.

"Can we win?"

"Is this ...... It's hard to say. ”

Yanagi Zongju sighed and said, "I can only do my best and listen to the destiny of heaven." ”

Hearing this, Yanagi Shibei couldn't help but tighten the sword in his hand.

When he got to the battlefield, all he could rely on was this sword.

Wakoku Nara. A six-foot-tall, three-eyed, high-nosed samurai armed with two katanas was walking downstream along the Kamo River.

He had a mustache on his lips, and his beard was slightly curly. The eyes have a somewhat amber tint, and the eyes look very sharp.

He also exuded a murderous aura, which made some civilians see him hurriedly get out of the way.

As the war subsided, Nara became prosperous.

A large number of makeshift cabins slowly appeared in a clearing on the banks of the Kamo River.

In front of the hut there is a red and yellow curtain.

A large number of singers were sold here, holding the popular shamisen, singing market songs, seducing passing customers, and from time to time there were some prostitutes' debauched laughter and gasps in the house.

The samurai frowned, ignoring the hook-ups of these prostitutes, and quickly left the place and walked towards a place in his memory.

"Soin Manju Shop" is a famous manju shop in the neighborhood, and it is said that the owner of the shop is a descendant of Hayashi Kazuyasu, a Japanese-Chinese.

When he came here to taste his favorite steamed buns, he found that the door of the steamed bun shop had been smashed down, and the shop was covered with cobwebs, and it was obvious that no one had been running here for a long time.

Seeing this, the samurai couldn't help frowning, then grabbed a passerby and asked, "What's going on?" Where is the owner of this shop? ”

Seeing that it was a samurai, this passer-by did not dare to slack off.

"The owner of this shop is a descendant of the Tang people, so the store was smashed not long ago, and the owner is nowhere to be found."

Hearing this, the samurai's face showed a thoughtful look before letting him go.

Looking at the flow of cars and people, Miyamoto Musashi was a little blind.

"Is it Miyamoto-sama Musashi?"

At this time, a soft voice came from the side.

The samurai looked to the side and saw a young woman in a kimono looking at him cautiously.

"So it's you?"

The samurai seemed to remember something when he saw the young woman.

Isn't this a maid at this steamed bun shop?

"It's really Musashi-sama."

After confirming that it was Miyamoto Musashi, the maid couldn't help but be overjoyed.

That's right, this samurai was the famous Miyamoto Musashi both at the time and in later generations.

He fought with the famous swordsman Kojiro Sasaki, and he is even more well-known in Japan.

Later Japanese boasted about him to the point of shamelessness, hailing him as the number one swordsman in the world throughout the ages, completely ignoring the fact that he had never taken a step out of Japan at all, and even Yagyu Shibei had to bow down to him.

At this time, Miyamoto Musashi had already killed the famous swordsman Sasaki Kojiro in the battle of Yanliu Island and became a famous swordsman in the world.

Just after killing Kojiro Sasaki, Miyamoto Musashi began his samurai training path again and almost disappeared from sight. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
