The three other people have indeed arrived at Guye Castle.
Not to mention that this city is not comparable to the big cities in China like Yingtian Mansion, even if it is compared to Luo City, it is quite inferior.
But this is an important city that is located in a dangerous location and needs to be built reasonably. Looking from a distance, it feels like this is not an important place that can be easily conquered.
However, looking from a distance, the city gates are locked and the atmosphere is solemn. It seems that the city is experiencing huge risks of war.
"Is this right here?" Fang Bi turned back to look at Ah Shi.
There were no unnecessary dangers along the way, or in other words, with Fang Bie and Yan Yu escorting them all the way, all dangers could be ignored.
At least most of the dangers.
"Yes." Ah Shi nodded: "Brother must be worried."
Saying this, Ah Shi looked at the city of Guye, his expression suddenly changed, and he jumped on the spot and waved his hands: "Brother! I'm back!"
Amid Ah Shi's shouts, the city in front slowly opened its solid city gate.
…
…
"This is the knight Fangbie."
When he came to Oda Nobunaga, Aichi pointed to Fangbie and introduced his brother: "When I came back, I was ambushed by the Koga ninjas. The guards of the Takikawa family all died because of me. Thanks to Fang Bing’s help, I came back safely.”
Saying this, Aichi looked around, and then said: "Looking at my brother, you should already know the news that the Koga ninja has defected to Imagawa Yoshimoto."
When Ah Shi was introducing him, Fang Bie was also secretly sizing up the man in front of him.
Although the world line of this world has deviated a lot from the original world, when the famous Oda Nobunaga appears in front of you, everyone will feel very excited.
However, what Fang Bie was not so satisfied with was that during this meeting, Oda Nobunaga did not wear his favorite women's clothing. It is said that Oda Nobunaga could compete with Aichi in women's clothing, and the two of them dressed up together to go to the night market. At that time, it was almost a scene in that ancient wilderness.
Fang Bie was really looking forward to Oda Nobunaga's appearance in women's clothing, but now Oda Nobunaga is wearing a white robe and armor, and he also looks quite majestic and handsome. He is quite tall, which makes him stand out among the generally short Japanese people. However, from the perspective of modern nutrition, it is mainly due to the lack of supplies in Japan and the lack of daily nutrition among residents, so it is said that there is widespread stunting.
The Warring States Period in Japan was an era when most people could not even meet ordinary food rations.
But both Oda Nobunaga and Aichi were born in daimyo families, and they never had to worry about food and clothing since they were young. Not to mention Oda Nobunaga, even Aichi himself is white and plump, with a stretched frame. A person's beauty and ugliness are closely related to their childhood dietary conditions.
Oda Nobunaga looked at Fang Bie, who was looking at him. In his opinion, Fang Bie had a moderate figure and a lean frame. Although he looked unexpectedly much more ordinary than expected, looking at the eyes of the young man in front of him, he felt He has tremendous power deep within him.
"Are you interested in becoming my samurai?" Oda Nobunaga asked.
"I'm sorry, I don't have this interest at the moment." Fang Bie said with a smile without hesitation: "But I am interested in watching Lord Oda spread his martial arts all over the world."
"When did my ambition spread so far?" Oda Nobunaga smiled and looked back at Aichi: "Did you talk too much about me to them again, Aichi?"
"Only mentioned a little bit." Ah Shi pouted and said, "Anyway, let's go in and talk first."
Oda Nobunaga patted his head: "If Aichi didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it. Come on, let's go to my mansion and chat slowly."
Saying this, Oda Nobunaga looked back at Yanyu who had been silent: "Are you the person in the recent legend?"
Yan Yu smiled and said, "Until I confirm who Lord Oda is referring to, I can't give you a definite answer."
"However, I'm not worried that Lord Oda will lay an ambush against us."
"Let's talk inside first."
"After walking for so long, my feet are very tired, and I also want to taste Japanese tea."
Now that Yan Yu had spoken like this, everyone soon entered the city together and then entered the Oda family's mansion.
Fang Bie has been paying attention to the layout of the surroundings. Indeed, Guye City is a place he has never been to before. This is his first time here. Out of professional habits, the young man still wants to observe where he can hide and how to escape. , which is the same idea as the bell tower that is suitable for setting up two heavy machine guns to block the street.
Oda Nobunaga noticed Fangbetsu's movements: "The knight Fangbetsu is interested in the structure of the city?"
"It's just out of professional habits." Fang Bie smiled and said calmly: "Of course, not out of professional habits as a secret agent."
The young man made such a supplement, and everyone couldn't help laughing.
When he finally sat down in the living room of the mansion, Ah Shi bowed to everyone and left. At the same time, a maid had already brought tea and snacks.
"Ashi, won't you listen?" Fang Bie stretched out his hand to stop the girl who was about to leave.
"Brother said this is a conversation between men and I shouldn't be here to listen in." Ah Shi whispered.
"In that case, I should leave early." Yan Yu couldn't help but smile.
Oda Nobunaga burst out laughing: "Since you two trust my sister-in-law, would you like to listen to me, Aichi? Maybe I need your opinion too."
Hearing this, Ah Shi couldn't help but bow to Yan Yu and express his thanks: "Then thank you, Miss Yan Yu."
The reason why Aichi left was just because of the previous practice. Although Oda Nobunaga is a person who does not value etiquette and rules very much, if possible, Aichi can be wherever he wants, but he usually discusses matters with his retainers. During the meeting, Ah Shi, who was sitting in the audience, often caused criticism. Therefore, in order to avoid causing trouble to her brother, Ah Shi would leave early on such occasions.
But this time, Oda Nobunaga certainly wouldn't force Fang Bie and Yan Yu to stay.
Tea is poured into the cup, and the aroma lingers.
Oda Nobunaga looked at Fangbie who was sitting opposite him across the tea cup and smiled: "Knight Fangbie, I heard that you are from China."
"China is a good place. I heard that you have a supreme emperor who rules all the land on that continent."
"I have heard a saying that all the people in the world are the king's land. On the shore of the land, are they the king's ministers? Is this true?"
"Yes." Fang Bie nodded: "Although our country is ruled by one emperor in most cases, there will be a huge dynasty change every few hundred years."
"When the decadent old dynasty is on the verge of collapse, poor peasants will rise up and try to overthrow the old dynasty and establish a new dynasty."
"Of course, in most cases, the peasants who rebelled made wedding dresses for the princes, generals, ministers, and officials of the old dynasty."
"Have you seen Oda-sama of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Oda Nobunaga hesitated for a moment: "Are you talking about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
"I have dabbled in the historical art of war books that someone recently brought back from China."
When Oda Nobunaga said this, Fang Bi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Yes, because Japan has lacked sufficient history and culture for a long time, when faced with civilizations that are more advanced than its own, it often shows a state of hunger and thirst, like a sponge, desperately absorbing the water it can come into contact with.
Just like now, because Japan is in the Warring States Period, Oda Nobunaga is not the only one who desires to quell the war and unify Japan. However, how to unify Japan must have unparalleled force and an army that is invincible in a hundred battles. The art of war has instantly become important. The most important thing is that they purchased a large number of so-called art of war books from China.
As for such books on the art of war, there are of course normal military books such as Sun Tzu's Art of War, but compared to the more obscure Sun Tzu's Art of War, there is no doubt that the more ups and downs of history such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are more popular.
So it is true that many Japanese lords and retainers have a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and they follow the military tactics in it in detail, and carry out a large number of so-called night raids, food robberies, fire attacks and other operations. Don't tell me, If these tactics and examples can be properly applied in war, they will sometimes have unexpected effects.
At least it is more deeply rooted in people's hearts than the so-called obscure sayings such as "Ten Sieges and a Last Stand".
Of course Oda Nobunaga has also read Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"Yes." Fang Bie nodded. He didn't care what was in Oda Nobunaga's mind at this moment, but continued following his own thoughts: "The Han Dynasty was a great dynasty in our country. It went through the Han Dynasty and lasted for more than 400 years. It once shocked the world and swept across all directions. However, even such a great dynasty would eventually be unable to return due to various problems, and finally reached the point where the building was about to collapse. Among them, The Yellow Turban Uprising was the death knell for the Han Dynasty."
"However, the Yellow Turban Uprising ultimately failed to destroy the Han Dynasty. On the contrary, this massive uprising was suppressed by the capable soldiers and generals of the Han Dynasty. All the rebels were defeated and their leaders were killed. .”
"Guoheng will be destroyed by weakness, and the Han Dynasty will be destroyed by strength."
"Even when the Han Dynasty was about to fall, he still had a very powerful army. With just the strength of a warlord, he could easily subdue the surrounding barbarian armies."
"These ministers who originally belonged to the Han Dynasty eventually began to covet the artifact. They began to ignore the orders of the Han Emperor, attack each other, and even began to try to gain higher authority by controlling the Emperor himself."
Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but interjected with interest; "Are you talking about Cao Mengde? He is indeed a character I like very much."
So do you know that you are often compared to this good wife, Mr. Cao? Fang Bie secretly cursed in his heart, but still nodded and said: "Yes, it is Mr. Cao Meng De."
"I said it before." Fang Bie looked at Oda Nobunaga: "The vast majority of peasant uprisings were just wedding dresses for these princes and generals. Only a handful of peasant uprisings finally overthrew the old dynasty, so that The feudal warlords who overthrew the old dynasty established a new dynasty themselves."
"However, among the many dynasties in China, only two dynasties have achieved this."
"They all have historical reasons for each other. Does Mr. Nobunaga know which dynasties they are?" Fang Bie asked.
"I have read the history of your country. If I remember correctly, one is the Han Dynasty that Mr. Fang mentioned before, right." Oda Nobunaga said.
Unknowingly, Oda Nobunaga's name for Fang Bie changed from the unfamiliar knight Fang Bie to Mr. Fang. In this regard, he changed even faster than Aichi.
"Yes." Fang Bie nodded: "It was in the Han Dynasty that Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, killed the white snake and rose up. Following the slogan of Chen Sheng, Prince Wu Guang and General Xiang Ning, he finally eliminated the Qin State that once unified the six countries, and established a new dynasty."
"By the way." Fang Bie looked at Oda Nobunaga and said, "When the Qin State still existed, there was a Warring States Period in China."
"At that time, we had an emperor of Zhou who ruled this land for eight hundred years. If he had not been overthrown, then we would also have an emperor."
When Fang Bie mentioned the emperor, Oda Nobunaga's eyes changed.
Fang didn't pay attention to Oda Nobunaga's expression, and then said with a smile: "Can I continue?"
"I would like to hear the details." Oda Nobunaga said, his attitude more serious than ever.
Yes, to this day, Japan still has a nominal ruler, and that is the Emperor in Kyoto.
The spokesperson of the Emperor is the shogun. The shogun nominally has the power to rule the entire Japan. All daimyo are under the jurisdiction of the shogun.
But in fact, the other side of being under jurisdiction is that none of them are under jurisdiction. Just as Imagawa Yoshimoto is coming to attack Oda Nobunaga, if the shogunate is useful, Oda Nobunaga will use such anxious entanglement with the army to Are all hopes pinned on the next life-and-death battle?
Only one thing is certain, that is Imagawa Yoshimoto is really a relative of the shogun.
"Our Emperor Zhou was very much like the Emperor of today at that time, and just like your Emperor, he has lost his authority for many years and has completely lost control over the princes under his command. Today, let's ask a national question The weight of Jiuding, tomorrow a country will come and want the title of king."
"But in the end, the Qin State still swept away Liuhe and swept all directions. Not only did it wipe out all the other six countries in the entire China, but even the Zhou Dynasty itself, which lasted for eight hundred years, showed no mercy."
"I want to ask a question now." Fang Bie looked at Oda Nobunaga: "Do you really want to be the Yingzheng who unified the six countries?"
"Or do you want to be that Duke Cao Meng who holds the emperor hostage to order the princes?"
