Chapter 270: Upheaval (Part II)
Roddy sighed and whispered to Nitis beside him, "You taught him these words, right?"
Nidith glared at Roddy, "Of course. Look at the present, the thousand cavalry general and Kikukawa Yasuichi are fighting endlessly, as long as Kikukawa Xingcheng can help the thousand cavalry general get the right to command the army, he will naturally be able to sell him a favor, and he will also get a different look at the thousand cavalry generals in the future. How can you not seize such a good opportunity to sell favors?"
Roddy was silent for a few seconds and said two words lightly.
"Not necessarily. ”
Kikukawa Yukinari had already said aloud: "My question is very simple, first, although the Roland people and we were not at peace, peace has lasted for hundreds of years! Why did they suddenly start a war! If we don't even know the purpose of their war, this war will be too unjust!"
"Hmm......" everyone nodded.
"Second ......" Kikukawa Yukinari's heart gradually calmed down, and his voice became a little louder: "We have already stationed 50,000 soldiers in the south, and the commander of the army, Lord Wu Youqianbei, is also an experienced general under my father's command, why has he been defeated again and again by the Roland people? From the beginning of the war to the present, it has almost been defeated! The Roland people seem to know the situation of our army all the time! Doesn't my father think it is strange to have such a situation?"
His two questions were completely copied from the words that Nedis used to deceive him a few days ago. But when he said it suddenly, it really made everyone present fall into deep thought.
Yasuichi Kikukawa looked at this younger brother of his. There was a complicated look in his eyes. He really couldn't figure out how this younger brother of his went to Kawado and came back as a completely different person. These few words, although they are only general, are not empty - in fact, these questions have long existed in the hearts of everyone.
"Young Master Kosei's words do make sense!" Oda Nobunaga suddenly said aloud, he glanced at Kikukawa Konari deeply, suddenly his tone changed, and continued: "It's just that these two issues are too complicated, if they are investigated one by one and investigated slowly, I don't know when we will get it! Now that the situation is tense, the point is to immediately fight! The more time we sit here to discuss, the tighter the south becomes!" After speaking, he looked directly at the old general Kikukawa above with a firm gaze, and said in a deep and steady voice: " General, please give the order!"
Kikukawa Yasuichi suddenly said in a loud voice: "Father." Brother's words, I think it's necessary to think about it!" he turned his head and glanced at Xingcheng deeply, and said slowly: "Especially why the army of the Roland people can defeat our army in the south, if this matter is not understood, I am afraid that even if someone is changed and the troops are brought there, it will be impossible to escape the fate of failure!"
After he said this, without waiting for Oda Nobunaga to speak, he suddenly raised his palm and slapped it twice.
I heard footsteps outside, and then the sliding door of the council hall was opened, and two samurai guards of the shogunate walked in, one by one, supporting a bloodied soldier.
The armor on the soldier's body was already in tatters, and the blood stains on his face blurred the original face of his head and face, although the wounds on his body had been treated. But when I walked, if it wasn't for the support of the two people next to me, I am afraid that I would have fallen down a long time ago.
"Everyone!" Kikukawa Yasuichi had already stood up, looked around and said loudly: "This is the soldier who came back from the front line, he can explain it to everyone." Why did Lord Wu You Senbei lose so badly in the south!"
Nitis sighed: "It seems that I did guess wrong, Kikukawa Yukinari's move was completely in vain. ”
This Kikukawa Yasuichi actually prepared such a soldier who had retreated from the front line outside the door, so he had naturally prepared it a long time ago......
If you continue to think about it deeply, then the position of the commander of the army is naturally already in the heart of the old general, and this position must be Kikukawa Yasuichi!
Otherwise, why would they prepare a wounded soldier outside the door? What kind of place is this? The shogunate of the Yaki Kingdom! The council hall! Put a person outside the door here, without the permission of the general, is it possible?
This is simply arranged in advance by the father and son!
They did a full set of plays. This wounded soldier was dressed professionally - but if he was really a wounded soldier from the front, he would have changed his clothes and cleaned himself before coming in Kyoto.
"You!" Kikukawa Yasuichi pointed to the wounded soldier who came in, and said in a deep voice: "You tell me about the front line!"
"Yes!" the man immediately fell to his knees and began to narrate in a loud voice.
"Six days ago, the Rolanders suddenly came from the sea and pulled out the two military towns of Kamigawa and Nagaki on the southern coast of our country! Because we were not alerted by the navy, our defenders were attacked and defeated! Lord Wuyou Senbei hurriedly stopped us from resisting, but the enemy seemed to know very well where and when our troops were assembled, and several of our armies were defeated before they could converge! Lord Wuyou Senbei could only lead us to retreat to the southern mountain and river mouth of Kawado City to stop the Rolanders on the spot!" The soldier said all this in one breath, and after a moment of respite, he continued: "On the first day of engagement, we stubbornly held on. But the next day, the Rolanders suddenly sent a strange army!"
"What kind of army? Tell everyone!" Oda Nobunaga said suddenly.
"It's a chariot!" the soldier had a look of fear in his eyes, "It's a monster, our bows, swords, arrows, shields, can't stop them......"
Roddy sighed, he had seen the power of the specially cultivated chariot in the kingdom of Sauron. Ordinary soldiers are indeed no match for the kind of monster-like chariots, and it is no wonder that these dwarves have been defeated so badly.
There is no suspense for the rest, Kikukawa Yasui was prepared early in the morning, and found such a soldier who came back from the south to narrate the defeat, which has fully shown that he knows the situation in the south well!
Now there is no need for him to speak, everyone knows that the position of this commander's reinforcements belongs to him!
Besides, none of these people here are stupid! Without the permission of the general, how could such a wounded soldier be prepared outside? Since this is what the general meant, then there is no need for everyone to say anything.
Luo Di suddenly narrowed his eyes, and instinctively felt that something was wrong......
Oda Nobunaga really said loudly: "Young Master Kangyi is really thoughtful! I just don't know if you already have a claim on the way to win by leading the army south?"
Kikukawa Kang nodded a little and said lightly: "It's a kind of thing." But ......" He raised his eyes and seemed to glance at the thousand cavalry generals, and added: "But if you want to win, you still need the cooperation of the cavalry under the command of the thousand cavalry generals!"
After saying this, Kikukawa Yukinari's face turned pale -- he decided in his heart that his brother was going to take this opportunity to take the military power in his hands! If he got all the cavalry, he would not have any more thoughts in the future.
Nidith suddenly pulled Roddy and whispered, "It seems that we have been doing this guy for nothing this time." ”
Roddy glanced at Nidis and said lightly, "Wait and see." ”
That Oda Nobunaga took a deep look at Yasuichi Kikukawa beside him, and suddenly said loudly: "General, I insist on asking you to send me south!"
Everyone felt that this thousand horsemen were a little ignorant of current affairs, and Kikukawa Yasuichi had already turned to face Oda Nobunaga and said coldly: "Why did you make such an rude request?"
Oda Nobunaga suddenly pulled out half of his katana. He shouted: "Just rely on my 'rain village'! And my windward cross slash!" His eyes were full of essence, and he looked around and said loudly: "My eight different warriors and martial arts will last forever! The fight on the battlefield is about martial courage and courage! Do Young Master Kang Yi think that you can defeat the sword in my hand? If not, you can talk in a warm room and tell the enemy away! On the battlefield, you still have to use the knife to speak!"
Speaking of this, he had already pulled out his narrow katana, held it with both hands, and said loudly: "The great god bless me with eight misfortunes, and my martial arts are prosperous!"
The old general's face had sunk, and he seemed to be a little unhappy. He was about to speak, but that Kikukawa Yasuichi had already stood up proudly. looked at the thousand cavalry generals in front of him with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice: "Master Shin, do you really want to compare?"
Oda Nobunaga didn't say a word. He nodded with a solemn expression.
"Okay!" Kikukawa Yasu said this loudly, turned his head to look at the old general above, and shouted: "Father, since the Thousand Cavalry Generals said so, I am willing to accept this condition! We will decide the victory by force! The winner will lead the troops south!"
The audience was in an uproar!
Luo Di looked at everyone's reactions, and it was already clear that this Kikukawa Koichi's force was definitely not comparable to Oda Nobunaga, and everyone's surprised reaction could fully illustrate this point.
Nidith also frowned: "I'm a little confused, isn't that Kikukawa Yasuichi already got the position of commander......
Roddy narrowed his eyes and looked at Koichi Kikukawa, and then at Oda Nobunaga, and always felt that the two seemed to have a tacit understanding. He suddenly leaned over and whispered in Nice's ear: "Quiet! I'm afraid we're going to see a good show here today!" After a pause, he looked at Kikukawa Yukinari next to him, and added in a low voice: "If there is something later, you take good care of that little Kikukawa and don't let him have something!"
"What about you?" Niceh was puzzled.
Roddy shook his head and didn't say anything more.
Oda Nobunaga glanced Kang up and down for a moment or two, and suddenly smiled and said loudly: "Young Master Kangichi, I'm not bullying you. Your force is under me, everyone here knows it, and if I win this competition, there will be no glory!" He looked hideous, and said coldly: "Why don't you choose someone under your command to compete with me! If the people under your command can win against me, then I will definitely no longer compete with you for the position of commander!"
Luo Di smiled lightly: "Look, the show is coming!"
Nidith secretly pulled Kikukawa Yukinari to her side, and she was puzzled in her heart - what kind of trick was this Kikukawa Yasuichi and Oda Nobunaga doing?
Kikukawa Yasuichi let go of the commander-in-chief position that had been set, and preferred to use his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths, and promised to fight Oda Nobunaga alone.
But Oda Nobunaga was even more strange, obviously he could win alone, but he refused to take advantage of the other party, and asked the other party to send another samurai to fight with him......
The old general had already frowned, it was obvious that the matter was no longer under his control, and it was far beyond his expectations.
"In that case, let me fight with the Thousand Cavalry Generals on behalf of Young Master Kang Yi!" a majestic voice suddenly sounded from the side. It was the middle-aged samurai who had been sitting in a position below Kikukawa Yasuichi. This person is stout, his face is full of fierce appearance, there is a scar on his face, and a pair of big hands and bones are thick, and he is a powerful person at first glance!
Oda Nobunaga glanced at him, his eyes showed a hint of fierceness, and said fiercely: "Okay! It's you! You are indeed worthy of being my opponent!" He glanced at Yasuichi Kikukawa: "What do you mean?"
Kikukawa Yasuichi stood there, his expression was calm, and he said lightly: "I agree!"
The old general Kikukawa, with a solemn face, said loudly: "You have really decided to decide the position of the commander by force?"
All three nodded at the same time.
The old general snorted coldly, obviously quite dissatisfied in his heart, but seeing that everyone was looking at him at the moment, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Then I will agree to your request...... The original great god bless me with the prosperity of the Eight Miscellaneous Martial Arts!"
Everyone left their seats and leaned back, and there was a large open space in the lobby. Kikukawa Yasuchi leaned towards the door quietly, and the expression on his face was a little incomprehensible.
In the middle of the field, the middle-aged samurai and Oda Nobunaga stood opposite each other, and they both slowly pulled out their katana and held it in their hands.
Oda Nobunaga's fingers gently stroked his blade, and said Sen Ran: "This 'Rain Village' sword of mine is a treasure given by His Majesty! I have drunk the blood of many samurai so far, you should be careful!"
The samurai's face was indifferent, and he slowly clenched the hilt of his sword - but Roddy seemed to see a faint hint of tragedy in his unchanged demeanor!?
A lightning thought suddenly sprung up in Roddy's heart...... Don't......
The Thousand Riders had already raised his long sword and shouted, "I, Oda Nobunaga, have no regrets if I die by your sword today!"
"Me too!" the middle-aged samurai said coldly, "I, Shinyuemon." For the rest, please!"
With a loud shout, the two of them had already rushed forward, and the two katanas slashed together with a loud bang, sparks shot out!
