As soon as Oda Nobunaga's words fell, Date Masamune, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Akechi Mitsuhide and others were all overjoyed, and at the same time surprised: "Aren't the strongest killers on my Japanese island the three people of Wind Demon, Hanzo, and Miyamoto, and there are also hidden masters of the world?"
The corners of Oda Nobunaga's mouth curled slightly, and he reached out to caress his thick beard: "The person this seat is talking about is the real body of Wind Demon Kotaro." ” "The true body of the wind demon Kotaro" Date Masamune and others were confused when they heard this, and the second monk was confused.
Oda Nobunaga stroked his beard and said, "Wind Demon Kotaro is not a person, but a code name.
He is the leader of the Wind Demon, and the heir of each generation will call himself Wind Demon Kotaro, and for hundreds of years, no one in this world has been able to see his true face. ” "Including Sekihaku-sama, you," Toyotomi Hideyoshi asked with a surprised expression.
Oda Nobunaga nodded: "Including me, I only know that it was the current Wind Demon Kotaro who went to the Tang Kingdom to help Li Shimin assassinate the eldest grandson Wuji, and the person I am talking about is his master, the previous Wind Demon Kotaro." ” "I didn't expect the Wind Demon Kotaro to be so mysterious, then this senior must be extraordinary, if he can get his shot, assassinating Gongsun Qi will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Shibata Katsuie, who had not spoken, was overjoyed when he heard this, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was more thoughtful: "Since this old gentleman is so mysterious, Shenlong can't see the head and the end, I'm afraid it's not easy to invite him out of the mountain."
Oda Nobunaga pointed in the southeast direction and said solemnly, "There is a Asuka Temple in Nara Prefecture, southeast of Edo, and there is a large bronze bell standing upside down in the temple.
The last Wind Demon Kotaro, the legendary strongest ninja in the last hundred years, will take on the task and complete it within a month. ” "Such a trick can't be a trick of the charlatan," Date Masamune said with his arms folded in front of his chest, his hand stroking his chin.
Oda Nobunaga said solemnly: "I also heard this secret from the mouth of this Wind Demon Kotaro.
You have also seen his skills, in terms of martial arts, he may not be as good as Hattori Hanzo and Miyamoto Musashi, but in terms of killing methods, he is even better. ” He picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, and continued: "As the leader of the Wind Demon, there are no less than hundreds of ninjas under him, and he is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, so he shouldn't be able to talk to me, and he doesn't dare. ” After listening to Oda Nobunaga's words, the audience was silent.
Although the wind demon Kotaro and the ninjas under him are powerful, they are still small in front of the Japanese overlord, just like the gangsters who fought against the government before Liu Wei crossed over, purely self-defeating, not at all of an equal weight.
As a famous person who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, even if this Wind Demon Kotaro is still young, he should not have the courage to tease Oda Nobunaga.
If he can't complete the task, even if he fills up the Asuka Temple with gold, I'm afraid that he will have a life to earn and a life.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was the first to nod in agreement with Oda Nobunaga's opinion: "What Lord Sekihaku said is extremely true, as the leader of the Wind Demon Realm, they should not dare to say anything.
I just don't know how big the bell of Asuka Temple is and how much gold it takes to fill it" "Open the treasury and fill this bell no matter how big it is," Oda Nobunaga commanded domineeringly, standing in front of the giant map, looking at Asuka Temple, which was the size of a grain of rice.
As soon as the words changed, the treacherous one appeared: "Gongsun Qi is the chief general of the Han army, and his subordinates control 50,000 male divisions, even if the Wind Demon Kotaro assassination is successful, how sure is it that he will retreat to the whole body At that time, these gold are still our military salaries, but they are only stored for a few days through the big bell of the Asuka Temple." ” Listening to Oda Nobunaga's words, all four people present showed expressions of joy and convincing: "Oh, it's still Lord Sekihaku's foresight and foresight, but I'm too short-sighted." ” Oda Nobunaga reached out and patted Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the shoulder: "Monkey uh, no, Hideyoshi" Toyotomi Hideyoshi showed a flattering smile: "Hehe, Lord Sekihaku, you say that I am a monkey and I am a monkey, who made me look so like a monkey?"
As he spoke, he made a monkey tickling motion, and said with a hippie smile: "I'm just a monkey, Lord Guan Bai, you don't see that my movements look like monkeys, if they don't look like them, I will raise a few monkeys at home and slowly imitate them." ” Akechi Mitsuhide next to him clasped his arms in front of his chest, his face was full of disdain, and he was disgusted with Toyotomi Hideyoshi's former and posterior Kyoshi, and secretly scolded in his heart: "Could it be that Nobunaga said that you are a dog, are you a dog, I think you are not even as good as a dog" Oda Nobunaga smiled and patted Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the shoulder: "Haha it doesn't hurt to make a few jokes, your skin is thick enough, and you will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future."
If you want to get ahead in this world, you must either have a thick face or a black heart, young man, I am optimistic about you."
"Hehe, thanks to Lord Guan Bai's praise, the little one will definitely take you as an example."
Toyotomi Hideyoshi bowed one hundred and eighty degrees, hating to touch his face to the ground.
Oda Nobunaga got down to business, patted Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the shoulder and said, "Hideyoshi, this matter is entrusted to you, open the treasury overnight, use a carriage to transport enough gold to Asuka Temple in Nara Prefecture, and hire the older generation of Wind Demon Kotaro to assassinate Gongsun Qi, there must be no mistake" "Hi" Toyotomi Hideyoshi bowed and turned away.
Looking at Hideyoshi's back, Oda Nobunaga sighed: "I hope this story is true, and I hope that this ninja, who is known as the strongest ninja in the island country for a hundred years, will not let us down." ” Date Masamune stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lord Sekihaku, there is another plan for the humble position, maybe you can give it a try."
If it can be successful, it may be better than assassinating Gongsun Qi Oda Nobunaga was shocked when he heard this, and said with an expectant face: "I know that no one in the entire Japanese national strategy and commander can surpass Masamune, what good plan do you have, hurry up and listen to it." ” Date Masamune lowered his voice and said: "Now that the Han army is strong, and the three-way march is carried out, even if Gongsun Qi is killed, isn't there still Lu Xun and Qi Jiguang and the Han Dynasty has many talents, this Gongsun Qi is just a little-known nobody, and he is so powerful with soldiers, if he assassinates Gongsun Qi, Liu Wei will send Zhuge Liang, Xu Da, and Xue Li to invade our country, and where will he find another Wind Demon Kotaro when the time comes."
Listening to Date Masamune's words, Oda Nobunaga looked stunned, and sighed: "Yes, the Han Dynasty is really a treasure of things, outstanding people, and it is so good for a nameless person to use soldiers at random, if it is a commander of the level of Li Jing and Wu Qi who comes to crusade against our country, I am afraid that our Yamato has already perished." ” Oda Nobunaga paced back and forth in the council hall as he spoke, and his words gradually became sonorous and powerful: "However, the matter has come to this point, and we can only take one step at a time, and if we can kill Gongsun Qi, we can at least delay the offensive of the Han army."
As long as the Tang army can inflict heavy losses on the Han army in Qingzhou, we will be able to usher in a desperate opportunity to survive. ” "Maybe in addition to us, there are not a few countries waiting to see the Qingzhou battlefield" Shibata Katsuie, who didn't say much, interjected again, "In addition to us and Cao Wei, I'm afraid that the rest of the West and Rome are also looking forward to it, waiting for the dust to settle in the Qingzhou War." ” Oda Nobunaga bowed his head and said: "That's true, if the Tang army is defeated and Qingzhou, Liu Wei can stabilize the entire east within three years, and the west within ten years."
If the Tang army wins, it will be able to go all the way south, from Xuzhou to Jinling, and then it will not be necessary who will die."
Date Masamune took over and continued to state his plan: "In my opinion, if you want to defeat the Han army, maybe the key lies in Himiko."
"Himiko" Oda Nobunaga looked surprised, "How can Masamune say that her kingdom was shattered by me, and she fled to the Han Dynasty for help in embarrassment, how could she help us defeat the Han army?"
Date Masamune smiled slightly: "Lord Sekihaku listened to me and slowly analyzed, this Himiko is a woman with a strong desire for power, and she went to ask the Han people for help when she was desperate.
And now, as the Han army conquered the city all the way, set up our Japanese island as Yingzhou, and sent Thorn Shi, Taishou and others to govern the place, completely treating our island country as the territory of the Han Dynasty, which was definitely the result that Himiko did not expect at the beginning. ” "Yes, this Himiko is really a traitor," Oda Nobunaga scolded hatefully, "This bitch lured the wolf into the house, and would rather let the great mountains and rivers be ravaged by the Han than let the virtuous live there."
Now it's okay, the bamboo basket is empty, and the Han people have taken the benefits of the fisherman in vain, and she also gave birth to a wild seed for Liu Wei, even if she dies, it will be a shame for the island country."
Date Masamune analyzed: "This humble midi is still unwilling to marry in her thirties, which shows that she is not interested in the relationship between men and women at all, and she has suffered a lot of humiliation when she was forced to give birth to a son for Liu Wei.
And now watching the land of the Japanese island being taken into the hands of the Han people step by step, she herself has not even caught a puppet, but she is afraid that her hatred for Liu Wei will become stronger and stronger."
"I see, Masamune means that he wants to rebel against Himiko" Oda Nobunaga's spirit was shocked, and he stroked his beard and groaned, and suddenly felt that this plan was indeed worth trying.
Date Masamune nodded: "Himiko still has a certain prestige, with no less than hundreds of thousands of supporters from all over the country, and tens of thousands of troops.
If she can be tricked into cooperating with our army to repel the Han army, there is great hope for dividing the island country equally in the future. ” "The Han army has now gained a firm foothold on the island, and even if Himihuken cooperates with our army, the odds of victory can only increase by one percent at most."
After listening to Date Masamune's narration, the light in Oda Nobunaga's eyes involuntarily dimmed a lot.
Date Masamune pinched his chin and laughed: "To borrow a sentence from Lord Guan Bai, it is easy to dodge the open gun and difficult to defend against the dark arrow, if you let Himiko find a name to set up a banquet and poison Gongsun Qi, Qi Jiguang, Lu Xun and others, then the Han army is leaderless, wouldn't it be a great opportunity for our army to counterattack." t1706231537:
