During the Ming Dynasty, although the Japanese were plagued, in Japan, most of the nobles were proud to understand the culture of the Central Plains.

Although Oda Nobunaga was uninhibited, he also studied the culture of the Central Plains, but he only stopped at the surface, and he only heard his words and did not understand the meaning of such esoteric knowledge as the I Ching.

"I hope Mr. will solve his doubts."

The green bamboo in Song Xing's hand was lightly touched on the ground, and a copper coin flicked into his hand: "When you encounter this hexagram, it is beneficial to the southwest and not to the northeast." It is good to see the noble princes and get auspicious signs. ”

Oda Nobunaga's heart moved when he heard this, which was not conducive to the northeast trip, which made him think of his biggest enemy in unifying Owari at the moment, the Iwakura Oda family.

A hundred years ago, the Onin Rebellion broke out, ushering in Japan's Sengoku period.

After the war, the power of the shoguns, guardian daimyos, and manor lords and nobles weakened even more, and Japanese history entered the Sengoku period, in which the emerging Sengoku daimyo fought each other.

The Owari Province guardian Spo family weakened, and the guardian Oda family eventually turned against each other due to internal conflicts, and the family was split into two.

Oda Nobuyasu, a descendant of the Oda family, became the guardian of the four northern prefectures of Owari and guarded the family for Oda Yose.

In addition, Oda Nobuyomo is the main body, supporting Owari to protect the Spo family, managing the four prefectures in southern Owari, and serving the Oda Yamato family.

The two main forces of the Oda family were hostile to each other and continued until the time of Oda Nobunaga.

Oda Nobunaga's Oda Danmasa family is a retainer of the Oda Yamato Mori family, in other words, Nobunaga's lineage is a side line of the family, and at the same time has the identity of a retainer.

In the twenty-first year of astronomy, Oda Nobunaga's father Nobuhide died of illness, and Nobunaga, who was the heir, succeeded to the Oda Danmasa family and was nineteen years old when he succeeded to the throne.

After Oda Nobunaga succeeded to the throne, the peep from the lord Oda Yamato Mamoru family, the retainers of the Oda Danmasa family were dissatisfied with Oda Nobunaga, and in the voice of opposition to Nobunaga's succession as the family governor, Oda Nobunaga began the road to victory in many unfavorable circumstances.

Oda Yamato Mamoru attacked his lord Spo family and eliminated Spo Yoshitsugu. Nobunaga joined forces with the Sovereign's Spo family, and Oda Yamato Mamoru took the lead in eliminating the Spo family on this ground, starting a large-scale infighting among the Oda family.

Oda Nobunaga officially launched a war against Oda Yamato Mamoru under the pretext of killing the lord, and because of his moral high ground, his own strength was not weaker than that of Oda Yamato Mamoru, and finally Nobunaga eliminated his own lord and became the new ruler of the four southern prefectures of Owari, and the strength of the Oda Danmasa family began to expand.

Hearing that the southwest trip in the Song Xing hexagram was not conducive to the northeast trip, Oda Nobunaga immediately thought of Owari's only remaining enemy, Oda Yin Se of the four northern prefectures of Owari, Oda Nobuyan, and Nobuyen's father and son.

Oda Nobunaga bowed: "Sir, if I send troops to the northeast, can I win?" ”

Song Xing smiled lightly, put down the copper coin between his fingers, and asked, "What is your ambition, is it Owari?" ”

Oda Nobunaga was stunned, this question was asked for the first time in his life, and he muttered, "No." ”

Song Xingdao: "Is it Donglu?" ”

Oda Nobunaga shook his head and said, "No." ”

Song Xingdao: "What about Beilu?" Oda Nobunaga still shook his head.

Song Xingdao: "Western country, Kyoto? ”

Oda Nobunaga still shook his head.

"What an ambition!" Song Xing didn't feel it, "Your ambition is all of Japan!" ”

Oda Nobunaga smiled and didn't say a word.

Song Xing sighed: "Those who have taken the world since ancient times are nothing more than the time, place, and people. The place where Owari fought four battles, there is no danger to rely on, and it can be said that there is no geographical advantage; In addition, the people were scarce, the army was weak, and the Oda family was infighting, and the people and superiors were greatly reduced. ”

Oda Nobunaga nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Song Xing clicked the green bamboo in his hand again, and another copper coin flicked into his fingers: "Those who get this hexagram are physically and mentally miserable, and it is difficult to move, so they should keep the right path, and they should not act rashly, and those who are involved in danger will have disasters." ”

"The kan is the water, and the Gen is the mountain. The mountains are high and the water is deep, there are many difficulties, life is dangerous, and it can be described as wisdom to stop when you see danger, and to protect yourself wisely. ”

Oda Nobunaga frowned slightly, "Sir, is it that my trip is difficult, if I am wise to protect my life, there is still a glimmer of life?" ”

Song Xing shook his head: "The sixth day of the first month moves, and the water and fire are both good. The kan is water, the separation is fire, water and fire intersect, water is on fire, water potential overwhelms fire, and the fire is done. At this critical moment, only by facing difficulties can we break through the crisis and unify the end. ”

"Since your ambitions are in all directions, you can't hinder your ambitions. Li Nanxing, in fact, has already pointed out the direction for you. ”

When Oda Nobunaga heard this, a look of thought flashed in his eyes, and then he was shocked, and his eyes flashed: "Southwest, Southwest, what Mr. Fei said in the hexagram is Kyoto." ”

Song Xing nodded: "The children can be taught." ”

Oda Nobunaga's heart was shocked, and he leaned over and said, "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

Song Xingdao: "If you talk about the land, troops, military exploits, and prestige, how do you compare with Hojo Shiyasu, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, and Mori Terumoto?" ”

Oda Nobunaga said, "Nobunaga is far inferior. ”

"But there's one thing they're not as good as you." Song Xing's tone turned deeper, "That is the Owari country located in, threatening Kyoto." If Owari is a small country, if it wants to unify Japan, it must take advantage of the time to be in Kyoto and respect the king. ”

Oda Nobunaga muttered, "Venerable Wang, is Mr. asking me to learn from Cao Mengde?" ”

The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms was written in the Western Jin Dynasty, and during the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to bring back the Central Plains culture such as the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms to Japan. Since the Nara period, the upper echelons of Japan have been frantically pursuing the Three Kingdoms, and Oda Nobunaga has also been familiar with the Three Kingdoms since childhood.

Song Xing said: "Today's situation, you can first get rid of internal troubles, stabilize Owari, and then make friends from afar and attack closely, marry the Takeda clan of Kai, and attack the Imagawa clan with it from east to west, and divide its country, and then connect Asakura in the north, Asai in the west, and Saito in the south." ”

"When your territory grows wider and your prestige grows, you will surely be heard of in Kyoto. The Ashikaga shogunate was weak and hostage, and was held hostage by the Rokkaku and Miyoshi parties, and did not want to get rid of self-reliance all the time. ”

"Under the banner of supporting the shogunate and protecting the emperor, you can defeat the Miyoshi Party, invade Kyoto, and then use the name of the emperor to conquer the Quartet."

Oda Nobunaga was ambitious and eloquent, and when he heard this, he understood it.

Song Xing's words changed sharply, and he said: "But to conquer the world, it is not enough to have a strategy alone, among the three talents, you have already obtained one of the time, and you have to rely on yourself to find a way to find a way." ”

"In the land of Owari, how many troops can be combated?"

Oda groaned, considered his words, and said, "I can organize 10,000 people, and 2,000 soldiers in this camp. ”

Song Xing bowed slightly: "Two thousand soldiers, less is less, your opponents have their own strengths, Takeda and Uesugi are good at horse warfare, the Maori clan is good at water warfare, and what kind of tactics are you good at in the Oda clan?" ”

Oda Nobunaga thought for a moment and said, "I have a hundred bird guns, I wonder if it can be considered a method of warfare?" ”

Song Xing shook his head and said, "One hundred is too little, if you want to unify Japan, you have to have five thousand birds." ”

In the twelfth year of astronomy, three Portuguese drifted to Tanegashima Island in Japan due to a typhoon, and carried Western-style muskets.

At that time, the fourteenth generation of Tanegashima was the main Tanegashima Shiyao and his father Tanegashima Megumi realized its power, and purchased it with a large amount of money and handed it over to the local master Yaban Jinbing to imitate it.

Tanegashima belonged to the Shimazu family in Satsuma at the time, and through Shimazu Takahisa, the head of the Shimazu family at the time, Tanegashima spread the technology of firearms to inland areas.

Oda Nobunaga was also keenly aware of the changes brought about by this new weapon, and after becoming the governor, he spent a lot of money to form a 100-person bird guard.

Song Xing looked at Oda Nobunaga and said leisurely: "In the future war, whoever masters a large number of firearms will be able to dominate the world, the era of gold is coming to an end, and the era of fire is coming." Owari is the second time in the firearms, and even whether you can fulfill your ambition in the future also depends on the firearms. ”

Oda Nobunaga was stunned for a long time, and then his expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Sir, Nobunaga is willing to pay half of his money, please be my military advisor." ”

"Your ambition is to unify Japan, and my ambition is to practice on my own, and now I help you, but I just take what I need."

Song Xingqingzhu tapped, and the two copper coins jumped into his palm one after the other, and said suddenly: "The first ninety-two hexagrams, both, already; Ji, Cheng also. It means that things have been successful, but things will change. There are still infinite variables to unify the world, and if you hesitate a little, I am afraid that your ambition will all come to naught. ”

Oda Nobunaga, the historical one, died in the Honnoji Incident on the eve of the imminent unification of Japan.

Song Xing really wanted to know, because of his joining, how Oda Nobunaga's life would change, and could he escape that fate?

Oda Nobunaga said with a smile: "People only have fifty years to live, and even if they live to the age of turning into heaven, it is like a dream. ”

Song Xing nodded approvingly, worthy of being the Three Heroes of the Warring States, and then said: "Whether it is a source of soldiers or weapons, a lot of wealth is needed. If you want to accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time, Zhiduowan and Yin Shiwan must be in your hands. ”

Oda Nobunaga looked up at Song Xingdao: "If you want to get Yin Shiwan, Yin Shi's house is the biggest obstacle at present. ”

Song Xingqingzhu pointed out, and the last copper coin jumped into his finger and said, "The ninth day of the first month." Pan Huan, Li Juzhen, Li Jianhou. Within three days, I will take the heads of Oda Nobuyasu and Nobuyoshi and his son, and help you to dominate Owari. ”
