Chapter 2327: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Susana
After receiving the news that Zhou Yu was sending troops in advance, Oda Nobunaga was panicked.
There is not much time left for Japan to prepare, and most of the naval forces have not yet arrived in Kyushu.
If the Qin army suddenly sends troops in advance at this time, this will make the Japanese army, which is already ill-prepared, even more panicked.
In this regard, Oda Nobunaga had no other choice but to send people to urge the daimyo to get their navy to Kyushu as soon as possible.
Although all the Japanese daimyo agreed to dispatch sailors to support Kyushu Island, it would take time to mobilize troops and generals.
In addition, the locations of each country are different. Those that are close to Kyushu will naturally arrive quickly, while those that are far away will naturally not be able to arrive so quickly.
After receiving the message from Oda Nobunaga, the daimyo from various countries also felt a sense of urgency, but no matter how urgent they were, they could not fly to Kyushu. However, they all assured Oda Nobunaga that they would rush to Kyushu before the Qin army arrived. .
After Oda Nobunaga learned this, he was secretly relieved, and then prepared to lead the last batch of naval troops to Kyushu and personally command the 70,000 naval troops to fight Zhou Yu.
Before leaving, Oda Nobunaga made a special trip to meet a person, who was none other than his first wife and the titular queen of the Japanese Empire, Himiko.
Himiko and Oda Nobunaga had long since separated, so they did not live in the Emperor's Palace, but in the Shinto Palace.
The Shinto Palace was built specifically for Himiko by Oda Nobunaga. It was twice the size of the palace where Oda Nobunaga lived.
As soon as he entered the palace, Oda Nobunaga was stopped. The person who stopped him was Himiko's sister Naruko, and her name in Shintoism is Tsukuyomi.
"What are you doing here?"
Tsukuyomi said with an indifferent expression. It turned out that she, like her sister, admired this talented man, but now she felt sick when she saw this man.
Oda Nobunaga didn't care about Tsukuyomi's attitude and said shamelessly: "Sister Naruko, I know you sisters don't want to see me, but I really have something important to discuss with your sister. Please go and inform me."
"Wait, then."
Tsukuyomi glared at Oda Nobunaga coldly, then turned and left, leaving only a fragrant breeze.
Even if Oda Nobunaga was the Emperor of Japan, he still needed to report if he wanted to see Himiko. However, he did not wait long and soon met his nominal queen, Himiko.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman wearing the robe of the Yin Yang Cult in front of him, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but have a flash of fascination and reminiscence in his eyes.
She is still so young and beautiful, like a god. Time has not left any traces on her body, but she is gradually getting older, living up to the splendor of her youth.
It should be every man's dream to have such a beautiful woman by his side.
He once had such a dream, and successfully realized it, capturing the heart of a beautiful woman, but because of the word 'right', he took the initiative to push this woman away.
However, Oda Nobunaga has no regrets. He cares more about power than women.
What woman doesn’t have power?
Besides, how can a man be restrained by love?
Seeing that Oda Nobunaga dared to come to see him alone, Himiko's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, and then he sneered: "Why didn't you let the swordsman named Miyamoto Musashi follow you this time?"
The predecessor of the Japanese Empire was the Yamatai Kingdom, Himiko was the legitimate queen of Yamatai, and Oda Nobunaga was just a son-in-law.
But it was this son-in-law who usurped the military and political power of the Yamatai Kingdom while his wife was in seclusion.
After Himiko came out of seclusion, he was completely ignored by Oda Nobunaga. If he forcibly seized power, the country would be in chaos, so he allowed Oda Nobunaga to continue to control the country, while he devoted himself to practicing and cultivating Shintoism.
Oda Nobunaga was ready to completely break up with Himihu, but he didn't expect Himihu to take the initiative to give up power to him, which made him feel ashamed and afraid of his wife.
He was ashamed of his ingratitude, but what he was afraid of was Himihu's strength and background.
Hemihu was a half-step grandmaster when she came out of seclusion, and now she has broken through to the realm of grandmaster. She is the only grandmaster on the surface of Japan, not to mention that she has Shintoism and the Onmyoji lineage behind her.
Although Himiko created Onmyoji herself and later changed its name to Shintoism, she was also an onmyoji and studied under the great onmyoji Abe Seimei.
Most people in Japan thought that Seimei was dead, but Oda Nobunaga knew that this legendary onmyoji who had lived for more than a hundred years was still alive and well. He even saw it with his own eyes when he married Himiko. Pass one side.
Even if she is not a disciple of Himiko, with her own strength and identity, if she wants to kill Oda Nobunaga, there are many ways. There are no fewer masters in Shinto than Oda Nobunaga's men.
Oda Nobunaga knew Himiko very well and knew that she was a vengeful woman. He was extremely afraid that she would kill him out of hatred, so every time he saw Himiko, he was surrounded by a large number of expert guards.
The reason why Oda Nobunaga didn't bring any bodyguards this time was mainly because he wanted to seek help from Himiko. If he had a large group of bodyguards around him, it would be difficult for him to play the emotional card.
After hearing Himiko's words, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but remain silent. Then he showed a kind smile and said with a smile: "Hemihu, you and I are husband and wife. When a husband sees his wife, why should outsiders follow him?"
"Haha, husband and wife? When you first seized power, did you ever think that we were husband and wife? Did you ever think that everything you had was given by me?"
Hearing this, Himihu could not help but sneer, and then said indifferently: "Also, you are not allowed to call me by this name. You are not worthy. I have become a monk, and now my name is Amaterasu."
Oda Nobunaga's face suddenly changed and he said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry for this. I won't make any excuse for myself, but you can't deny that Yamatai became what it is today because of my hands. brilliant."
"Otherwise, why do you think you can survive until now?" Himihu sneered.
Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga's face suddenly became a little ugly.
Himiko's words showed that she still hated Oda Nobunaga's original betrayal, but she did not kill him because he had grown Yamatai so much. This was tantamount to an explicit threat to Oda Nobunaga.
Since Oda Nobunaga proclaimed himself emperor, he had never been threatened like this before. Naturally, he was very angry, but he did not dare to get angry. After all, with Himiko's strength and such a close distance, it would be too easy to kill him.
But after thinking about it, this also shows that Himihu still cares about Yamatai, which is now the Japanese Empire, so it can be used.
Just when Oda Nobunaga was thinking about how to speak, Himiko said impatiently: "You came to see me this time just to talk nonsense, right? Just tell me what your purpose is."
"Bimihu, no, Amaterasu, if that's the case, then I'll tell you straight away, Da Qin has sent troops to conquer the Japanese."
Oda Nobunaga went straight to the point, which made Himiko's expression change immediately. She was so smart that she naturally knew what this meant.
The Qin Dynasty was a powerful country with a population of 30 million before it was unified, while the total population of Japan was only five million even if it was unified, not to mention that it was not unified yet.
At war with such a powerful country, Japan is like a mantis trying to control the chariot, and its situation is obviously dangerous.
After being silent for a long time, Beimihu said: "It seems that Great Qin came to avenge the Japanese pirates. That Qin Emperor is really determined to retaliate.
Now that the trouble has been caused, whoever caused the trouble will naturally be responsible for solving it. Why did you come to me, a woman? "
"Of course I know that Da Ming and I will send troops to deal with Da Qin's army, but there are also a few masters in Da Qin, and they may even send out Grand Masters."
Oda Nobunaga knew that in order to deal with the Tang Kingdom, Great Qin ignored the agreement of hundreds of families and dispatched ten great masters, directly destroying nearly half of Chang'an City, forcing the Tang King to surrender.
Although the Qin Dynasty later made a statement, saying that it would not easily use the Grand Master against the Han princes, such a promise could only be heard. What's more, Japan was still a barbarian, and the Qin Dynasty obviously would not talk about morality towards Japan.
As a barbarian island country, the Japanese country would definitely not receive the same treatment as the Tang country. The Qin Dynasty would not necessarily send out great masters. Even if it did, it would only be one or two at most.
Oda Nobunaga didn't dare to bet that Great Qin would not send a great master to Japan. To take precautions, he could only call for help from Himiya, who was in charge of Kidō and had the Onmyoji lineage behind him.
"Only a Grand Master can deal with a Grand Master, so I hope..."
Before Oda Nobunaga finished speaking, he was interrupted by Himiko.
"You hope that Shintoism will help you resist the great master of Qin?"
Himiko's eyes widened and he said with a look of disbelief: "Oda Nobunaga, have you forgotten what you did to me back then? Why do you think I would risk my life to help you, a man who betrayed me? Great Grandmaster of Great Qin?"
When Oda Nobunaga heard this, he secretly thought something bad, and said quickly: "Amaterasu, I know you still hate me, but now the Great Qin is coming fiercely, this is a crisis for the entire Japan, do you hope that five million Japanese The people were enslaved by the Qin Dynasty?"
Hearing this, Himihu suddenly fell silent.
Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga realized that there was something going on in the secret, so he took advantage of the victory and pursued it: "I found out a secret. The Onmyoji lineage in Japan is actually a branch of the Onmyoji family among hundreds of schools of thought.
During the Pre-Qin Dynasty, Xu Fu, the elder of Yin and Yang, Yunzhongjun, took three thousand boys and girls eastward to Fusang in search of the elixir of immortality for Qin Shihuang, but they never returned.
Xu Fu is the founder of the Onmyoji lineage. He left the Onmyoji lineage in Japan, and today's Ghost Taoism and many other sects belong to the Onmyoji lineage. "
Hearing this, Beimihu's expression suddenly changed and he said coldly: "What on earth do you want to say?"
Oda Nobunaga didn't take it seriously and said to himself: "I heard that two years ago, the Onmyoji family sent people to Japan to contact the Onmyoji lineage in the country, hoping that the Onmyoji lineage would return to the Onmyoji family. However, not only was they rejected, but they also He was chased all the way and fled back to the Central Plains.
This move of the Onmyoji lineage can be said to have offended the Onmyoji family to death, and the Onmyojia family has a very high status in the Qin Dynasty.
It is said that Queen Da Qin’s biological brother is the leader of the Yin Yang family.
So, Amaterasu, if this battle is defeated and Japan is captured by the Qin Dynasty, do you think the Onmyoji family will let go of Shintoism and the Onmyoji lineage behind it? "
Hearing this, Himihu's face became even more ugly, and he cursed in his heart that those who were chasing Jie Siyun were idiots.
Jie Siyun, the elder of Yin Yang family, went to Japan to contact the Yin Yang master lineage, but was chased all the way and was driven back to the Central Plains.
Himiko only found out about this news after the fact. At that time, she was in seclusion to seek a breakthrough as a great master. By the time she came out of seclusion, it was a done deal, and the Yin Yang family had been offended to death by those idiots.
Himihu doesn't care much about this. After all, the strong dragon has not yet conquered the local snakes. Even if the Yin Yang family takes revenge, it is impossible to directly kill them in Japan.
In the land of Japan, the Onmyoji lineage is the master, and the Onmyoji family is just a guest. Even if the great master of the Onmyoji family comes, on the master's territory, things must be done according to the master's rules.
But now the situation is different. Da Qin sends a large army to conquer the Japanese. If the local forces of Japan are defeated, once Da Qin is allowed to occupy this land, Da Qin and those behind it become the masters, then the Onmyoji lineage and Shintoism will become the masters. Guests.
Will the Onmyoji family really let go of the traitorous Onmyoji lineage then?
Even if you think about it with your toes, it is absolutely impossible.
Seeing Himiko's expression constantly changing, looking uncertain, Oda Nobunaga knew that he had almost succeeded, so he said again: "Amaterasu, it seems that you have also realized that there is a huge gap between the Onmyoji lineage and Japan. , have long been completely tied together, sharing both glory and disgrace.
Dealing with Da Qin is not only helping us, but also helping yourselves. "
Himiko was unwilling to help Oda Nobunaga from the bottom of his heart, but he had to admit that he was right.
The Onmyoji lineage and Japan have long been tied together, and they are both honored and humiliated.
If the Japanese countries were defeated, the fate of the Onmyoji lineage would not be the same.
"This matter is very important and cannot be decided by me alone. I need to ask Master for advice. Please come back first." Himihu said with an indifferent look.
When Oda Nobunaga saw that he had already said what he had said, Himiko still didn't agree on the spot, he suddenly became anxious and immediately prepared to approach and continue to persuade.
Oda Nobunaga just took a step and then stopped, with a lot of cold sweat on his forehead, as if he was curious about seeing some horrific scene.
Oda Nobunaga noticed that there was murderous intent behind him. Nobunaga turned around and saw a burly man over two meters tall. He didn't know when he appeared behind him. He exuded an extremely powerful aura and used murderous intent. Locked himself.
"Sasuke, you..."
"Oda-dono, please come back. Also, my current name is Susanoo."
Susano'o suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, and then picked up Oda Nobunaga, the emperor, like a chicken, and threw him out.
Seeing this, Himihu felt something was wrong, but he didn't stop it.
Susano'o knelt down in front of Himiko and said, "Sister, that man has no good intentions. He just wants to take advantage of Shintoism for the sake of justice."
"But what he said is true."
Hearing Himiya's words, Susano'o wanted to refute, but was speechless.
"Everything is decided by Master." Himihu sighed lightly.
