Yellow Springs, Canyon.

There are usually two possibilities for the terrain of canyons to appear in Yingzhou, the first kind of cliffs is caused by earthquakes; The second type is the Phaseless Blade Narrow...... That is, the artificial terrain cut out by the peerless powerhouse.

This is the latter.

Two hundred years ago, a sword master swung a sword at Huangquan after drinking, killing hundreds of demons and ghosts, leaving this canyon with a height of more than 300 meters on the earth.

It has no name, just the prefix of Yellow Springs.

Over the past 200 years, this canyon has been often used by people with good intentions.

Because this terrain is too suitable for pit killing.

The Onmyoji of the Tuyumen family once drove the beasts to kill more than 10,000 demons and ghosts here, and made great military achievements and laid the foundation of their own Onmyoji clan.

But what few people know is......

In this canyon, the human corpses left behind are also mountains of bones.

Because it's a dead end, once you step into the canyon, there's only one way back.

In the face of the high mountain, even the transcendent cannot climb with bare hands.

In this regard, Amamiya Masaki is well aware.

I decided early in the morning that I should stay away from this terrain, but I was still caught up in it.

She shouldn't have made such a careless mistake.

Unfortunately, the situation is chaotic.

After Bai Yu led Cortilia away, she continued to stay on the front line of Yellow Springs.

However, because many swordsmen have begun to kill each other under the influence of the Pipers, the trust between the factions has been lost.

By the fifth day, the front line had collapsed and the crowd was scattered.

On the sixth day, the living forces reunited and began to discuss what to do.

At this time, it is too late to retreat, but once you withdraw from Huangquan, your military merits will definitely be gone, and you may be held accountable and beheaded.

The seppuku culture of the Yingzhou samurai has always existed, and they can die in battle but not be humiliated.

So the option of retreat does not exist.

At this time, the Fujiwara clan, a high-ranking Chinese clan from Kyoto, proposed a plan to kill demons and ghosts in this area of the canyon, and invited the onmyoji of the Tuyumen family to conduct a sand table deduction, and after a brainstorming decision, everyone reached a consensus.

Although we can't expect to rebuild the front line and stabilize the front, as long as you kill a sufficient number of demons here, you still have a chance to make military achievements.

Even if it is to make up for the fault, it can relieve the pressure on the shogunate military.

At that time, Amamiya Masahiro was just a single person and had no right to speak, and the policies determined by the shogunate samurai and the Kyoto Chinese were all set by the Shogunate samurai, and the Tsuchigomon family only played the role of a military staff officer in the process.

Since it is a pit killing, it is inevitable to take a few steps.

Guidance, bait, formation, and finally plugging the gap.

The people who were responsible for acting as bait were both Chinese and samurai.

In the battle plan, all decisions are relatively fair...... Everyone has merit, everyone has the opportunity to pick up military merits, and the risks are shared equally among all parties.

However, as the plan progressed, some problems began to emerge.

The incomplete execution of the decoy tactics, the inaccurate timing, and the chaos caused by the lack of communication led to many routs and clashes before the demons were introduced into the canyon, but fortunately, the strategy designed in advance by the Tuyumen was effective.

The plan to kill demons and ghosts has been completed without danger.

But when the evening of the sixth day came, the samurai, exhausted from a long day of fighting, sensed that something was wrong.

On the battlefield full of demon corpses, there were almost no Chinese people in sight, and they were surrounded by their own people from the martial family.

When they looked up, they found that on the crack in the canyon, a group of Chinese people happened to be standing upwind and watching them bleed.

This is actually part of the plan.

The plan planned by the Chinese is a double ploy.

On the surface, he cooperated with the shogunate samurai to attract demons and ghosts to the canyon to carry out pit killings and strive for military merits;

The real purpose inside is to consume the strength and heritage of this group of martial artists, even if it is to kill demons and ghosts in the canyon, it will take time...... They deliberately introduced an excessive group of demons to increase the number of demons in the canyon, and in the process of chaotic fighting, they quietly evacuated.

It took several hours for the Chinese to quietly withdraw from the canyon, leaving only the warriors of the martial arts family to fight bloodily here.

This group of people was kept in the dark, because of the tragic fighting, they didn't realize that something was wrong, and even if they realized that they wanted to evacuate, it was too late.

They have no route to evacuate!

At this time, the intersection of the canyon had been sealed by the piercing, and some samurai realized this and wanted to evacuate, but they were hacked to death in the canyon rift.

Even if more martial artists noticed it, they could only continue to kill the demons at this time, and they would not be able to form an effective impact on the mouth of the canyon at all.

After thousands of demons and ghosts were killed, the number of remaining living people on the martial arts side had been sharply reduced from the original hundreds to less than fifty.

The fifty people who survived here were even more exhausted.

On the other hand, the Chinese side still retains more than 150 living combat forces to work at ease.

The combat power is already disproportionate.

Unfortunately, Masaki Amamiya is one of those here.

She is not a cherished target, but a member of the group.

Who would have thought that the contradiction between the samurai and the Chinese would erupt in such a form at such a time, and it would be so bloody.

In the scene that should be consistent with the outside world, I am still thinking about fighting in the nest.

There has never been such a result in the past, and even if there is a killing of each other, it is all an individual act, and there are few who form a group.

This time it was an exception.

The samurai was extremely angry, and the armor worn by the Shibata family, who had the highest status in the shogunate, was already in tatters, and he angrily drew his sword and angrily reprimanded: "If you do this, you are not afraid of being ridiculed by the world?!" ”

Fujiwara said lightly: "You all died here, and no one will know what the truth is...... Rest assured, the military exploits are still yours, at least the family behind you can be glorified. ”

Shibata Moriwa stared at the faces of the Chinese clan and looked over one by one: "Do you really think that what you have done can be hidden?" I can hide it from the shogunate and the shogun! ”

"You are so naïve, no matter how many people die in the Yellow Springs, it is tacitly allowed." Fujiwara touched the knife on his waist: "The general won't make a move at all, otherwise when the swordsmen fought with each other before, why didn't he stop it?" ”

"Originally, every Huangquan Purification was to kill people."

"But this time, it will be more people from your martial arts family."

Tomohiro Fujiwara pushed his glasses and slowly narrowed his eyes, although he himself was Chinese, he also had a residence in Edo.

As a top student who once studied abroad, he has witnessed the prosperity of a big country and has been exposed to many advanced ideas.

Having been here for several years, I know how fast the shogunate is growing, and Edo is growing too fast compared to the unchanged Kyoto.

If this continues, Kyoto will sooner or later be widened by Edo, and the result will be that the land-based landlords and Chinese will gradually fall behind the samurai who have grabbed huge wealth through industrial upgrading, which is the result of irreversible results, and the foundation of the two sides determines that they are irreconcilable, just like the two sides of the Civil War, which will inevitably lead to wars, conflicts, and contradictions...... And in the end, the Chinese and the emperor will lose.

Because the emperor, who is canonized by the will and faith of the people, will lose the support of the people because he cannot stop the people's vision and yearning for a better life;

Old beliefs will be replaced by a new world.

If he was a member of the shogunate, he would have gladly accepted this result, but he was a Chinese, and he knew that his roots were in the land, relying on a pyramidal structure, trapping the people at the bottom in a piece of land to consolidate his position.

So the more he learned, the more he panicked about the changes in the shogunate, and the equilibrium of the past few hundred years was being broken by this generation of shoguns.

The general was undoubtedly sharpening his knife.

So Fujiwara Tomohiro practiced the advanced ideas he learned from abroad, thought of many methods, and thought about how to solve this problem.

He soon realized that he could not change the trend of history.

He was troubled by this for a long time.

Tomohiro Fujiwara didn't think about getting to this point at first, because he didn't have the opportunity to do so before.

Because he is only a three-realm transcendent; The real right to speak on the Huangquan front is in the hands of the sword heroes who have stabilized the front.

Even if he had an idea, it would not have been possible.

But change is always so coincidental.

The swordsmen killed each other to the point of few and eventually withdrew from the front line.

Tomohiro Fujiwara immediately realized that the opportunity had come.

Even if you can't stop the shogunate's changes, you have to delay as much time as possible.

This is a unique opportunity.

If a large number of samurai die here, then a fault will be formed in one of the generations of the samurai, which is the backbone of the shogunate!

What is the result of the death of a generation of young people?

The history of certain countries on the planet speaks of this clearly.

At that time, not only will many samurai families decline, but even the shogunate itself will be greatly affected, the progress of reform will be slowed down, and without the support of young people, the balance between the left and right wings of the shogunate will be broken, and the conservatives of the older generation will have the upper hand, which can buy a few more decades.

Others can't see it, but the emperor can't not see it, and he will definitely keep him;

It is also impossible for the shogun to make a move when the wood is already in the boat, he will not tear his face!

He will step on the bones and heads of this group of people, and lead this heavenly merit to the top of power!

Decades is enough time for him to go through half of his life.

As for what happens next, that's not something he can decide.

Therefore, even if Shibata Moriwa below knelt down and begged for mercy, he still had to die.

The contradiction between the two sides is not just a clash of positions, but involves the future trend, and it is a fundamental conflict between life and death.

Fujiwara Tomohiro pushed his glasses and announced in a deep voice, "All the samurai present today must die...... You will live on the praise of people as heroic legends, and they will remember you for at least fifty years. ”

He smiled faintly sarcastically.

"For the samurai who regard death as their home, it can be regarded as the supreme glory."

In the eyes of the Chinese, the samurai family is nothing more than a group of domestic dogs that usurp power, and they are not qualified to share the world with them at all.

Shibata Moriwa didn't understand this meaning at all, and roared: "You can come at me alone, I'll be one-on-one with you, if I win, let all of us go!" ”

Under the twilight, Fujiwara Tomohiro sneered and disdained to answer, he ordered to the surrounding Chinese clan: "For the sake of the emperor, kill!" Don't leave a single mouth alive! ”
