The whole world seemed to be quiet at this moment.
It was just a somewhat ordinary summer afternoon at this time.
There are lush trees here, and the air is filled with a slightly moist smell of grass and trees. After all, it just rained heavily not long ago.
But just under the shadow of the trees, Fang Bu stood there, put a finger on Tsukahara Buden's eyebrows, and quietly declared the victory of the duel.
Compared to the previous battle with Shang Jiuge, this battle seemed more understated.
Even effortless.
This is the most difficult thing for most people to understand.
After all, to them, Shang Jiuge was just a young swordsman from China. Even if she had some ability, it was definitely insignificant compared to their own sword master.
But as a reference system, Fang Bie had a lively fight with Shang Jiuge before, and even said that the situation was back and forth for a while, but the battle with Tsukahara Bu Chuan was more one-sided.
But it was Tsukahara Buden himself who finally broke the tranquility.
He looked at the fingers in front of him and smiled: "If it were you, even one finger could easily take my life."
"If you insist on saying that, I have nothing to refute." Fang Bie said softly: "If this is the case, I won't want to eat with this hand for a month."
Saying this, Fang Bi gently retracted his finger.
Tsukahara Buden nodded, turned around and walked behind him: "You still have the strength to leave, Professor."
Jiaoqing Beigu nodded. Even his master had lost and he was seriously injured. There was no point in carrying out this order of protection.
Now it seems that Imagawa Yoshimoto's most reliable bodyguard is actually Shang Jiuge who was drawn in a lottery outside.
"Wait, wait." Only at this moment did Imagawa Yoshimoto feel his fate in a daze. He struggled forward and shouted for his two killer secret weapons: "You haven't completed the commission yet, you must You have to take me out of here alive."
"There is no need for this anymore, Lord Imagawa." Tsukahara Fuden looked back at Yoshimoto Imagawa, his expression changed subtly: "Everyone has his own ending, and Lord Imagawa's ending will probably be met here. It’s time to finish.”
"You..." Imagawa Yoshimoto instinctively wanted to curse, but then he realized that even though Beigu Jiaoqing no longer had the ability to fight, Tsukahara Buden hardly suffered any damage, even though he was facing Fang Bi was completely suppressed at that time, but it can only be said that Fang Bi's strength was really much higher than this sword master.
But if he really angered Tsukahara Buden and made him turn around and become his enemy, wouldn't that add fuel to the already critical situation?
After thinking this way, he swallowed back the curse at that moment.
But at this time, Oda Nobunaga, who had been waiting for a long time, finally spoke happily: "I really like what Mr. Fu Chuan said."
"Everyone has their own ending. I don't know where my ending will be yet, but I have seen your ending, Mr. Imagawa."
Saying this, Oda Nobunaga walked closer step by step, looking at his prey as he walked: "I have watched so many real sword duels that are a real feast for the eyes today. I am afraid that I will never be interested in such a similar thing again in the future. I am interested in the performance, after all, it is almost impossible for an event that can surpass today’s performance to exist in this land.”
"In that case, what do you think about ending with a duel between you and me?" Oda Nobunaga looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto and said: "If we really want to fight the whole army, no matter the number of people or the elite level of the soldiers, , I am on top of Imakawa-sama, and when the battle comes to an end, we should not increase the number of killings."
"Today you and I have a duel, and I hereby make a promise. If you win, then I, Oda Nobunaga, will meet my end in this tub. Lord Imagawa will win a great victory, reverse the defeat, and be able to I will take advantage of the situation to capture my Owari country."
"And if Imagawa-sama loses, I will let your subordinates leave on their own without harming them in the slightest. What do you think?"
"Sir, you can't do that." Kinoshita Tokichiro, who was standing by, tried to dissuade him.
In his opinion, now that Fang Bie has defeated three swordsman masters in a row, it seems that he is still able to do it with ease. The safest solution is to let Fang Bie kill Imagawa Yoshimoto again.
As for the central strategy, it is easy to drive the Oda army at this moment to kill the Imagawa army, which has lost all morale in front of them. This is also a sure-fire decision.
The worst of the worst was the daimyo duel proposed by Oda Nobunaga.
What the hell is this? Do you think you are watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
Even in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when have you ever seen Cao Cao and Liu Bei fight each other for 300 rounds?
At most, Cao Cao sent his subordinate Xu Chu and Liu Bei's subordinate Zhang Fei to fight against such a plot. But hasn't such a plot been staged just now?
Is it possible that there is still a repertoire of monarchs participating in battles?
Although Imagawa Yoshimoto is now obese and has difficulty moving, even if he had practiced martial arts hard when he was young, at this time, his body was probably drained by drinking and sex, and he was addicted to pleasure and was weak.
Oda Nobunaga was in his prime, and his swords, spears, and horses were both good, so there was at least a 90% chance of winning in such a duel.
But the only remaining achievement is that Oda Nobunaga himself was beheaded by the formation. In that case, I am afraid that the Oda army will really collapse on the spot and give up the fruits of victory that are already within easy reach.
This is too hasty and aggressive.
"There's nothing wrong with it. I've already won the Battle of Okehazama, so now I need a beautiful ending. I think this kind of ending is good. Even if I really lose here, it's just what I deserve." It's just the ending." Oda Nobunaga looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto and smiled: "So, is Imagawa-sama willing to agree to my request?"
All the personal guards around Imagawa Yoshimoto were silent. The previous defeat of Tsukahara Buden had exhausted their last bit of morale. If Oda Nobunaga came to cover up the attack, then he must have abandoned his armor and fled in defeat. .
And the suggestion that Oda Nobunaga put forward now is really too attractive.
Really end this battle with minimal losses.
However, even so, no personal guard dared to let Mr. Imagawa agree to this duel with almost no chance of winning.
"Hahahahahahahahaha." Imagawa Yoshimoto couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He looked at Oda Nobunaga: "I didn't expect that at this time, you still have such courage."
"I admit, I underestimated you, and I didn't expect that God would be on your side like this. I lost the battle. In this case, I, the defeated one, really need to give an ending to this war. .”
Saying this, Imagawa Yoshimoto stretched out his hand and shouted: "Sword!"
Before he finished speaking, he was handed swords from left and right.
"This sword is called Sozo Zumonji. It was made by the swordsman Zuo Anji. It originally belonged to Miyoshi Sozo and was later given to the Takeda family. I asked Takeda Nobutora to marry his daughter, so this famous sword came to me as a dowry. In my hand, Takeda Nobutora said when he handed it to me, the person holding this sword will eventually take over the entire world, as an encouragement to me."
"Normally, I won't use this famous sword, except for this expedition. I want to hold this sword and become the one who conquers the world, but I never thought that my father-in-law might have said something wrong."
"That means the final owner of this knife may not be me."
Imagawa Yoshimoto held the sword in his hand and looked at Oda Nobunaga: "But even so, I still hope to hold this sword in my hand for the final battle with you."
Oda Nobunaga smiled: "I like this knife very much."
"Then leave it to me for safekeeping."
Saying this, Oda Nobunaga stepped forward with his sword drawn.
…
…
"So this is the end of Okehazama?"
Under the starry sky, He Ping sat on the roof and drank.
The moonlight shone on this woman in green clothes, and her words were a little lazy.
"Oda Nobunaga used three thousand elite soldiers to attack Imakawa Yoshimoto's tens of thousands of troops in Ozazama, and finally won a complete victory, and killed Imagawa Yoshimoto in formation. The streams in Ozazama were dyed red with corpses, and the rivers It is almost blocked and cannot pass." Yan Yu looked at the woman in front of him and said quietly: "Now Oda Nobunaga's reputation has become great. Not only did he form an alliance with Tokugawa Ieyasu who quickly established himself in the city after the defeat of Imagawa Yoshimoto, And he also began to free up his hands to conquer the Mino country left by his father-in-law. At this point, the trend of unifying the entire Japan was already in the hands of Oda Nobunaga. It just depends on when he chooses to go to Kyoto to meet the emperor. At that time, There will be next steps.”
"It sounds like it will happen very quickly." He Ping sighed: "It seems that my work is almost over as soon as it starts."
"I have to say that working in Japan is easier." Yan Yu looked at He Ping: "Your power here is almost foul."
"By the way." After saying this, Yan Yu paused and said, "I'm very curious about the taste of your wine."
"I advise Your Highness not to drink it. After all, if you have never touched this kind of thing, it is best not to touch it for the rest of your life." He Ping gently covered the mouth of her cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"In this case, our work in Japan is almost over?" He Ping looked at Yan Yu and said.
"That's really stingy. I'm just curious about the taste of the wine in your glass. I really don't think I've ever drank anything like this." Yan Yu looked at He Ping and said.
"From my experience, His Highness has really never drank, otherwise there would be no such thing as curiosity." He Ping smiled: "However, I can agree to everything else, but this is the only thing I choose to refuse. "
"Okay, okay." Yan Yu sighed: "By the way, Ashi from the Oda family is very interested in Fang Bie. That girl Ashi is really stunning. I think you should keep a close eye on her."
"Isn't it exciting to look at something, to see my friend running away after flirting with you again?" He Ping was obviously a little drunk, with a slight blush on her face, but the woman's words were still very calm, with a bit of teasing. smell.
"So has it been decided? Let Oda Nobunaga unify the entire Japan?"
"If that's the case, have the future been decided?"
"The total number of combatable soldiers in the entire Japan is now almost more than 500,000. This is a very huge number. It can even complete a country-destroying conquest, so that such a huge army can finally be unified, instead of Continuous internal friction is not a good thing for China."
"Even if it is said that after the unification of Japan, this troubled world can indeed be ended, so that the chaotic ronin warriors no longer have to vent their excess force everywhere, but is this really good?"
He Ping looked at Yan Yu: "Your Highness."
She said softly, Your Highness.
Yan Yu smiled.
She looked at the starry sky: "I didn't expect you to think about so many things."
"We came to Japan just to borrow power, but what kind of power we want to borrow is of course something we need to think about." He Ping said quietly.
"This country, although chaotic, has great potential," she commented.
"It's still a very interesting country." Yan Yu said lightly.
"Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor and I have an agreement."
"When Japan is completely unified, I will return to the mainland with this army."
"Then with this army, have a good talk with that person."
"After all, in this world, even the most disobedient people can understand one language, and that is war."
He Ping smiled and looked at Yan Yu: "Is this the whole purpose of His Highness?"
"Even a mediocre person like me who doesn't like to use my brain would feel this is stupid."
"Wu Zixu borrowed troops from the state of Wu to destroy Chu and avenge the king of Chu. Although this would be very satisfying at first, it was really a short-term stupidity."
"I believe His Highness is not such a stupid person."
Yan Yu nodded: "Yes, such a stupid person has no meaning."
"But you should know why His Majesty the Emperor agreed to my suggestion with such an obvious purpose."
"Why would Oda Nobunaga, the actual controller of power, be inclined to launch this meaningless war?"
"All meaningless wars have their ultimate purpose."
"I will also use this war to achieve my goals. At that time, it will be time to return to Yanjing in a grand manner to finally settle the accounts."
"It sounds very interesting. I do want to go back. After all, the food here is not suitable for me, and the sake is a bit too weak." He Ping nodded.
She looked back at Yan Yu: "So, where will the battlefield be?"
She asked: "If possible, I don't want the battlefield to be in the southeast."
"No." Yan Yu objected quietly.
"Mainly because there are not enough ships and they are not big enough." The girl smiled.
“But there’s also my advice in it.”
"The battlefield is in Korea."
she said calmly.
The stars shine overhead.
