Half an hour later, Ling Feng sorted out all the gains and gathered in the mansion with many daimyos.

Ling Feng sat on the main seat and said: "Everyone, we have won this battle, the future is bright, and when Tokugawa Hidetada and others are exterminated, most of their territory will be rewarded." However, for the time being, we must not take it lightly and must first break up the coalition forces. I wonder who is willing to contribute to win over some of the daimyo to our side?"

In fact, Ling Feng also wanted to sweep away all the big names, and he could do it with his martial arts. But his foundation was too shallow at this time to complete the task of ruling Dongyi. After all, it is not by personal force that rules the world, but by establishing a ruling class that will serve him.

Maeda Toshiya smiled: "My lord, there is a way." If you want to reassure the daimyos, the only way is marriage. ”

At this time, the coalition army was defeated, the two great sword masters and the six great swordsmen were killed, and the top-level combat power was almost completely lost, even if the troops were still superior, it was difficult to withstand Horio Yoshiharu's offensive. Therefore, he has decided to take refuge in his heart, so he took the initiative to make suggestions. And if Ling Feng replaces Toyotomi Hideyoshi and establishes the shogunate, he, as a meritorious hero, will be able to get a lot of territorial rewards.

Ling Feng nodded and said, "I understand, even if you go to lobby, it just so happens that my son Zhong's family is not married yet." ”

Horio Yoshiharu also has a son in this identity, who is currently pretending to be Ryuwei, and there is no problem in marrying the daughters of several daimyos.

Immediately, Nakamura Kazuji, Ikoma Kinmasa and other daimyo also expressed their willingness to contribute to convince some daimyos.

Then it was to select reliable officials to run Kyoto Prefecture, and now that the coalition forces have retreated, Kyoto Prefecture will soon fall into the hands of Ling Feng. But there can be no rule without reliable official management. Most of the former officials can remain in office, but a small number of diehards must be eliminated.

There is also a reward according to military merits, one is to promote the military position, but to reward money and food.

Then there was the dispatch of troops to defeat the coalition led by Tokugawa Hidetada. This was naturally led by Ling Feng himself.

Immediately, Ling Feng's soldiers divided into two routes, personally led all the way, and there were 50,000 soldiers, including Lin Ziyi and other elite dragon guards, chasing the coalition forces at full speed. The other route was centered on Li Fenghua, Li Ruohua and other dragon whale guards, including Maeda Toshiie, Nakamura Kazuji and other daimyo retainers and generals, led 40,000 troops to sweep the region and quickly restore order. As for Fushimi Castle, only 10,000 soldiers and horses were left to guard it.

......

Half an hour later, west of Kyoto Prefecture, Osaka Castle.

This Osaka Castle was originally the lair of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces, and Ling Feng led the army to sweep once, but did not leave soldiers to garrison, so it fell under the control of the coalition forces.

At this time, inside the city lord's mansion.

The allied daimyo are deliberating on a strategy to break the enemy. Although this battle was defeated by the coalition forces, with two sword masters and six great sword heroes killed, the loss of troops was not serious, less than 5,000 people. Therefore, they have no intention of admitting defeat and are ready to fight again to eliminate the "Horio Yoshiharu" forces.

Tokugawa Hidetada said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the sword saint Kamizumi Shin is extremely powerful, if we can't get rid of him, we will definitely lose a lot on the battlefield." I wonder what you have to do?"

At this time, Tokugawa Hidetada's territory was the largest, and with the support of Tokugawa Ieyasu's retainers and military generals, his strength was the first among the coalition forces, and he also led the battle and served as the commander-in-chief. And what kind of combat power is the level of the Sword Master, he also understands that almost no one can compete in a frontal battle. Unless the forces have an absolute advantage, then send a master to besiege and kill.

Maori Xiu said: "I know that there is a warrior Sanada Shinshishi, who has the courage of ten thousand people, and may be able to resist the sword saint Kamiizumi Shin. ”

Tokugawa Hidetada smiled: "Okay, I don't know if you have any other recommendations?"

Immediately, Uesugi Dingsheng said: "The Tuyumen family in charge of the Yin-Yang Liao can control the youkai-style god, and maybe it can deal with Kamizumi Shin." ”

Subsequently, the daimyo recommended several ancestors of the kendo school, including Tomita Segen of the Nakajo stream, who was once the master of Kanomaki Zisai. There is also his younger brother Tomita Keimasa, the ancestor of the sword flow Hayashi Saki Shisuke and so on.

After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a ninja suddenly came in a hurry and said, "Lord, Horio Yoshiharu's army is coming!"

Tokugawa Hidetada's face changed, and he immediately returned to indifference, and said, "Hattori, you continue to pay attention to the dynamics of the enemy army. ”

Hattori Hanzo nodded and quickly retired.

At this time, Tokugawa Hidetada said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the time for a duel, and this Osaka Castle will be given to them first." When our masters arrive, we will first kill Izumi Shin, and then destroy Horio Yoshiharu. When the time comes, we will divide the territory we have gained. ”

All the daimyo nodded, and immediately led the troops to retreat.

Not long after the coalition forces retreated, Ling Feng's 50,000 horses came to Osaka Castle.

At this time, it was approaching dusk, Ling Feng ordered a fire to make food, and after eating, he rested for half an hour, and the army continued to set off. As for Osaka Castle, only a thousand soldiers were left to maintain order.

However, the coalition forces reversed course and retreated all the way to Nagahama Castle near Lake Biwa in Omi Province.

In the evening, as the sun set, Ling Feng's army of 50,000 chased after him without hurrying or slowing, but when he arrived near Lake Biwa, suddenly snowflakes fell in the sky, and the temperature around him dropped sharply. Moreover, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the officers above the rank of dragon guard and samurai can still keep out the cold, and the ordinary soldiers are suddenly shivering in the cold wind of the snowflakes, and they can no longer move forward.

Lin Ziyi said to Horio Yoshiharu played by Han Lei: "My lord, this weather changes suddenly, like a demon law. ”

An attached swordsman said, "My lord, it is rumored that there is a youkai called Yukihime who can manipulate the weather and create ice and snow. ”

Han Lei nodded, looked at Shangquan Xin, played by Ling Feng, and said, "Lord Sword Saint, I don't know what the best plan is?"

Ling Feng smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, wait for me to kill this demon!"

After he finished speaking, his figure flashed, like a floating light, and disappeared in the distance.

A moment later, by the edge of a vast lake, a beautiful woman in white with long light blue hair, a face like white jade, and a skin like condensed fat was pretty on the ice and snow. A steady stream of icy aura poured out of her, causing the sky to freeze in ice. And the power of the water spirit in the lake also kept submerging into the body of the woman in white, replenishing the demonic power she consumed.

At this moment, a white-clothed figure flashed, it was Ling Feng's pretending Sword Saint Shangquan Xin, but the cold air around him was like a milk swallow returning to its nest, and it quickly plunged into his body. Ling Feng was like a black hole of aura, and all the aura, demonic power, and so on of the water attribute would be devoured by him and transformed into his own Canglang True Yuan.

Xue Ji's complexion changed drastically, her hands were as clear as jade and in front of her, and the thick ice demon power in her body quickly converged, and she suddenly pushed out her palms!

The white ice picks that were scattered all over the sky shot towards Ling Feng like hailstones, endlessly.

Ling Feng's expression was indifferent, and the Xuanshui Martial Soul that had been refined into the Xuanshen Extreme Realm suddenly operated, and a cold ice force field suddenly appeared, and all the white ice picks suddenly stopped three feet in front of Ling Feng.

At this moment, one of the white ice picks suddenly shattered, and a white silver needle as crystal as ice and snow broke through the ice force field and shot towards Ling Feng's chest.
