Chapter 44: The Western Response
After putting aside the affair for the time being and returning to Owari's side, Miyoshi Nagakei and Oda Nobunaga discussed various matters and returned to the western country with a very satisfactory result.
What is the satisfactory result? Well, how do you say it? The first point is naturally the cultivation of the dream evil, although the three good Changqing can't see through the dream evil, but because of this, it can be proved that the cultivation of the dream evil is much higher than the three good Changqing, you must know that in the entire western country, only Maori Motoshi, Ouchi Yoshixing and Nizi have given Miyoshi Changqing a similar feeling. But that feeling is nothing compared to the dream evil.
Cultivation is high, this is naturally the best result, although the territory of the dream evil is small and has few troops, but those are nothing compared to a real powerhouse. To put it simply, if Mao Liyuan had his current strength at the beginning, he would have formed the Three Kingdoms long ago, where would he have to stay up until he was 5 or 60 years old and not destroy the Nizi family?
And it's not just Dream Evil, although Miyoshi Changqing can't see all the combat power under Dream Evil, but what he sees alone is enough to frighten him. Yes, frightened, the former overlord once again showed the expression that only showed when he heard that this world turned out to be the ghost of the Eight Snakes. There is no way, there are too many strong people under the dream evil, and each of them is so powerful, from the perspective of Miyoshi Changqing, with his own strength, if he is under the hands of the dream evil, it is estimated that he can only engage in logistics.
The second point is the existence of Oda Nobunaga. Well, whether Miyoshi Nagasegi admits it or not, Oda Nobunaga, as the only person in the entire history of Japan who has a unique vision and can cut through the times, has no need to question his personal charm and ability. How so? If you go back to the original era, Miyoshi Chokei was just an ordinary ronin, then after he talked to Oda Nobunaga. You will definitely be conquered by her charm and become her retainer.
And it's not just his personal charm, Oda Nobunaga's vision that can cut through the times, his incomparable martial arts, and his terrifying personal strength are all reasons why Miyoshi Nagakei is obedient.
And the last point is some nonsense. For example, the terrifying strength of the samurai and ninjas under the command of Dream Evil, for example, they can still make countless foods when they have nothing, and it is said that after Miyoshi Changqing ate a meal in Cheongju City, he really didn't want to leave too early. In his words, "Nima! That's what people eat! ”
Well, although the food problem in the west has been solved, but ...... Ahem, don't expect too much from the taste and variety. But then again, even in their original era. There's nothing good to eat. Well, the fact is that in those days, in a slightly poorer country, a fish could already hold a banquet. Ahem, we don't mean to reflect anyone.
But fortunately, this kid has a strong sense of mission, huh...... Coupled with Oda Nobunaga's repeated urgings. Finally returned to the western country. Anyway, if this kid goes a little later. Then you really don't have to go back. You must know that now the entire army has been occupied by the Yaki army, and everyone led by Hei Jiangmen is frantically searching for the Emperor Tuiko who ran away, well, but this will be talked about later.
Well...... Incidentally, the distribution of various benefits was not within the scope of negotiations between Oda Nobunaga and Miyoshi Nagakei, because they both understood. It's ridiculous to argue about interests at such a time. To put it bluntly, when their combined army began to attack the Eight Miscellaneous Army, until they stood in front of the Eight Miscellaneous Snake, how many people could be left at that time. There is no way to estimate this, the only thing that can be determined is that there will definitely not be too many people left. After all...... It was the Great Snake of the Eight Folds, an existence that could compete with the gods in legend.
Okay, back to the present tense, it is said that after Miyoshi Chokei returned to the mountain castle of Yoshida County, he was immediately greeted by Mori Yuan and others, and on the way, he couldn't wait to start asking about the alliance. In fact, it is not without reason that they are so anxious, because not long ago, they had just received news that could not be worse, the Yaki army had occupied, Sakagami Tamura Maro and Honganji Xianru had been killed in battle, and Emperor Suiko had disappeared.
Hawkers,For the legendary character of Sakagami Tamura Maro and the fake monk of Honganji Temple, everyone obviously doesn't care too much.,The only thing they care about is that Emperor Suiko is missing.。 You must know that although in this world, the authority of the emperor is basically gone, but no matter what, this name can be regarded as one of the hearts of everyone...... Well...... Whether it's sustenance or faith, there should be such a person in the name of the emperor anyway, and it doesn't matter whether that person is old or young, male or female.
At that time, Maori Yuan wanted to send troops to rescue, but unfortunately, they only got such a little information, no way, now is full of rebels and demon beasts, not to mention those ninjas under them, even if it is the group of ninjas under the dream demon to what time it is, they can only rely on the Hyuga clan to monitor from afar, and they can't get close at all.
In the absence of any information, rashly dispatching troops is obviously not in line with the consistent style of these three bigwigs of Maori Yuan, which is the so-called not fighting a war that is uncertain. Moreover, the Yaki army captured in just one day, although they don't know how the other party did it, but think about it, at least they also have a very strong force, and maybe the Yaki Orochi has come to.
If this is the case, then they rushed to the rescue, and there was only one result, that is, the total annihilation...... This is obviously not what they want to see, so they have been waiting for news from Miyoshi Changqing.
After understanding the situation, Miyoshi Chokei immediately explained everything he knew, and after listening to it, Mori Moto immediately ordered to summon all the daimyo of the alliance army, including the group of people from Kyushu, to Yamaguchi Castle for a meeting. Well, the reason why I went to Yamaguchi Castle was naturally because it was closer to Kyushu, which further showed Mori Moto's own attitude.
Yamaguchi Castle assessment room.
A group of cattle who used to be able to make the world shake three points by stomping their feet gathered here, but their faces are very, very ugly now. Well, it's very simple, because they all know about.
"I can't imagine that the Yaqi Army is moving so fast, how long has it been? Didn't you even get a day, did you destroy the other forces? It's unbelievable! "The head of the Changzong and my department sighed.
"yes. Could it be the hand of the Eight Miscellaneous Snake? According to our information, His Majesty the Emperor has the existence of two military gods, Sakaue Tamura Maro and Kusunoki Masari, and is assisted by two famous generals, Nitta Yoshisada and Kitabatake Hideya, plus Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Prince Shotoku, even if Genji has been sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, it is impossible to lose so quickly! Ryuzoji Takanobu echoed.
"Huh. Then there was only one possibility, Genji and they didn't sit idly by, but joined the fight......" Mori Moto said with a chuckle. As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
"Impossible! The Genji clan is the family closest to His Majesty the Emperor, how could they betray the Emperor? Miyoshi Changqing was the first to react and objected loudly at the same time, no way, Mao Liyuan's words are too unacceptable. Because if even the emperor's close relatives Genji would rebel, then who wouldn't join the command of the Yachigo Orochi? If so, then they ...... Miyoshi Changqing didn't dare to imagine it anymore.
"It's not impossible. Who in this world would really take the emperor seriously? If you add the coercion and temptation of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes to them, it is not difficult to win over a few forces, you know, now judging from our intelligence, the general of the Eight Qi Army in charge of is not the Eight Miscellaneous Giant Snake, but the ...... of the Ping General," Nizi said lightly.
"Not bad. If it's Heishomon, he doesn't care if the emperor is not the emperor at all. It should be that he must know the other party's thoughts very well, so as to win them over, because he is already the kind of person who belongs to the Yuan Yorichao and them! And I want to know more about what the king of Toei is doing now than the current situation in, and if you look at his words, Shinano, Tokaido, and Hokuriku have all been occupied by the Yaki army. Now with the addition of, they have been completely surrounded......" Ouchi Yoshiko also used an indifferent tone.
In other words, why are these three guys so calm? Do you already have an idea in mind? Well, in fact they don't have much thought at this time, just habits and experiences that have always been there. They have learned to be unusually calm in any situation. This may be why Ouchi, Niko, and Mori have reached prosperity in the hands of these three heroes.
Hearing the words of the three of them, the daimyo suddenly fell silent, obviously this situation was very unfavorable to them. There was silence for a while, and everyone began to think about what they should do if the Yaqi army attacked the western country, is it a war? Or is it down? Well, don't say anything about human traitors or anything else, for this group of people born in war-torn times, there is nothing more important than preserving the family.
However, the war? How to fight? Although there are three wise commanders such as Mori, Niko, and Ouchi, as well as three famous generals such as Tachibana Michiyuki, Tao Jingxian, and Yoshikawa Motoharu, it is just ...... Even if there is no eight-fold snake, the other party is not an easy person! One Kiso Yoshinaka alone is the strongest god of war in the hearts of many samurai? And falling? Well, they could do anything to save the family, but just surrender? Obviously, it doesn't work, it's not because of those bullshit things like righteousness and morality, the reason is very simple, if they surrender at this time, they can see their future destiny, that is, they will become cannon fodder for the Yaqi Army...... And when the time comes, it is obvious that the human alliance will not let go of its own group of betrayers......
"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to the next word." At this moment, Miyoshi Changqing suddenly stood up and said loudly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time I went to Owari Qingshu City, not only did I reach an alliance agreement with the Dongying Kingdom, but I also saw some of the strength of the other party, not to underestimate you, to be honest, all our forces combined, we may not be able to defeat them, because with the cultivation of the lower ones, I actually felt several unfathomable powerhouses there. It's just that Lord Oda didn't explain to Zai Xia at that time, and he didn't want to ask too much. After Miyoshi Changqing finished speaking, he sat back directly.
Well, that's it? It's over, because Miyoshi Changqing said these words for only one purpose, which is to make everyone have confidence in the dream evil them. What confidence? Naturally, it is the confidence of the battle! After all, this world is not the world where wars are fought only by numbers, strategy, and command. Overmatch! The ultimate strong man is the only force that changes everything!
"Huh? Oda-sama? Could it be? At this moment, Mao Liyuan suddenly asked with some curiosity, in his impression, among the people surnamed Oda, it seems that there is only one person who can be called a strong person.
"Not bad! It's Nobu-sama Oda! Miyoshi Changqing said loudly. As soon as this statement came out. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Hawkers, it can't be helped, because Oda Nobunaga in that era was too brutal, and most of the people here have also suffered her losses, such as the Nagamune family, the Miyoshi family, the Maori family, and the Utaki family surrendered directly.
"So there's still Oda-sama...... So it seems. It is not so simple for the Yaki army to quickly take down Ono. Mao Liyuan thought about it and said lightly. Well, it's not that Maori Yuan is really optimistic about Oda Nobunaga, but at this time, if you want to retain everyone's morale, then Oda Nobunaga is the only lifeline, after all, compared to the dream evil that has never been heard of, Oda Nobunaga is a guy that everyone is familiar with. It will undoubtedly boost morale even more.
Hawkers, it's okay, these things Dream Evil doesn't know, otherwise he would definitely kill them directly and let this group of bastards get to know him well. Uh, digress again.
Of course, although Oda Nobunaga is awesome, not everyone is familiar with her, at least Niko and Ouchi Yoshiko don't know how awesome Oda Nobunaga is. But see the expressions of the crowd. I also know that it must be an immortal lord, all right. Asking Oda Nobunaga who is doing such a thing at such a time would never have been possible with these two.
"In that case, let's vote, and now we plan to raise our troops and attack!" Niko said loudly for a long time. Well, raise your hand to vote. What an old way.
"Boom......" everyone raised their hands. Well, no matter what they think in their hearts, but nowadays, going to war is the only option, because they simply don't have time to develop now. If you don't fight, you can only wait to be destroyed. Although some people already have the idea of surrendering in their hearts, after all, it is just a thought, and even if they want to act, it is not now. In any case, none of the people here are simple characters.
"Very well, now that everyone is on the same page, let's quickly return to your respective territories and prepare your food and armaments. After that, all of you in Kyushu set out directly from the sea route and joined the Nagamune Ibe family and the Miyoshi family at the location of the former Raising Castle in Shikoku, while I joined the Utaki family at the location of Toshiyama Castle, and the Niko family and the Ouchi family met at the location of the Haroroi Stone Castle, and 30 days later, the Niko Ouchi attacked the territory of the Yamana family, and the Utaki family and I attacked the territory of the Toyotomi family, and the rest of the people attacked directly from the sea to! Mao Liyuan said loudly.
Well, 30 days? Isn't it a bit long? But there is no way, this time it is a concentrated operation of the three major alliances of Kyushu, Shikoku, and Western Kingdoms, and 30 days is very, very little. After all, this was not the historic Siege of Odawara or the Siege of Osaka, in which one side attacked the other with overwhelming forces. This time, it is said that those who are going to attack the Yaki army have a large number of people from the world in a certain era, such as the Genji, the Taira clan, the Kiso clan, the Toyotomi clan, the Hosokawa clan, etc.! Moreover, there is also the help of the Yaki Orochi.
It can be said that most of the people here will die in this attack, but ...... had to fight, even if it failed, at least it had resisted. Ahem...... It seems to be a bit literary and artistic~
Well, having said that, Maori Yuan does have a set for this old man, and he can figure out the offensive route and personnel allocation in minutes. And the people below were also quite cooperative, and they all responded loudly, and did not have any doubts about Maori Yuan's order. It's easy to say, here, the Mori family is undoubtedly the strongest, then the Niko and Ouchi, and then the people of Kyushu Shikoku.
And the strength of the Maori family is not because of how awesome it used to be in history, but just because of one point, the governor of the Maori family is called Maori Yuan, the brave champion of the three armies, and the unparalleled Maori Yuan!
Of course, it's not that the strength of these three combinations is equal, because no matter how you look at it, the alliance of the four countries of Kyushu is the strongest, but their task is also the heaviest. On the other hand, the task of Niko and Ouchi is much easier, because there is only one enemy on their route, and that is the other protagonist of the Onin Rebellion, Yamana Soquan.
As for the Mori family and the Utaki family, their enemies should be the Hosokawa family and the Toyotomi family. Of course, all this is only an expected enemy, and now that has been captured by the Yagi Army, they can only think on the bright side.
Well...... By the way, have they forgotten something? And Mao Liyuan seemed to notice this, and did not let everyone disperse, but for a while, he really couldn't think of what he had forgotten.
And at this moment, a ninja suddenly appeared in the middle of the assessment room, "Report! Outside, two people claimed to have something important and wanted to see the three highnesses. (To be continued......)
