Chapter 2362 The Eight Great War Gods of Dongying

Chapter 2358: The Eight Great War Gods of Japan

In addition to the Takeda family, the Date family also received a request for help.

Today, in the northeastern part of Honshu, there are only two factions left, namely the Takeda family and the Date family.

The Date family is a local force in the northeast of Honshu, while the Takeda family is a foreign force.

After being defeated by the Oda family, the Takeda family had no choice but to retreat all the way to the northeast of Honshu and establish a country again.

The northeastern part of Honshu is a barren land. The resurgence of the Takeda family in the northeastern part of Honshu naturally affects the interests of the Date family. There is constant filth between the two countries.

In order to prevent the fight between the snipe and the clam, which would benefit the Oda family fishermen, Takeda Shingen wisely promised the Date family that once the original land was regained from the Oda family, he would voluntarily withdraw from the northeastern part of Honshu.

Date Masamune would not believe the verbal promise of Takeda Shingen, but if the two families continue to fight, it will indeed benefit the Oda family fisherman, so he took advantage of the opportunity to take over this step, and the relationship between the two families has also changed. The confrontation turned into a joint confrontation with the Oda family.

Date Masamune is also a hero of the generation, but he has to admit that Takeda Shingen is better than him.

The Takeda family was once destroyed by the Oda family. This hatred cannot be resolved, and it will never die. However, Takeda Shingen was able to temporarily put aside his hatred for the Oda family for the sake of righteousness, and joined hands with Oda Nobunaga to the outside world.

This kind of heart and courage is something that Date Masamune does not possess, so he, who was originally hostile to Takeda Shingen, gradually changed his attitude and became more and more respectful of Takeda Shingen.

Date Masamune didn't want to pay attention to the robbery of Uesugi's house this time. After all, it wasn't his Date's house that was robbed, and God knows that once he sent troops, the Han coalition forces would suddenly land in his country?
It can be seen that Takeda Shingen was so decisive that he even personally led the army to support the Uesugi family. This made Date Masamune realize his shallowness again, so he changed his mind and decided to also personally lead the army to help the Uesugi family.

Uesugi Kenshin was overjoyed when he learned that the Date family was also willing to send troops to help.

The Takeda family had [-] reinforcements, and the Date family had [-] reinforcements, bringing the total strength of the two families to [-].

In addition to the 15 troops of the Uesugi family, the total strength of the Uesugi, Takeda, and Date families has reached an astonishing [-].

The total strength of the Qin army is less than [-], and even with the [-] or [-] surrendered troops from the Echigo Kingdom, the strength is less than half of the three alliances.

What's more, Uesugi's family is in the south, Takeda's family is in the north, and Date's family has also entered the mountainous area, and is about to come from the east, as if to be surrounded on three sides.

Once the three-sided encirclement of the three families is formed, the Qin army will undoubtedly be passive, which is something Zhou Yu can't bear no matter what.

Therefore, after some discussions, Zhou Yu decided to adopt Guo Jia's strategy and divide his troops to resist the enemy.

The strength of the Qin army is not large, and if it is divided, it will only further weaken its strength.

In this regard, except for a small number of people such as Wu Qi and Wang Jian, most of the generals such as Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu were puzzled, and they did not understand until after listening to Zhou Yu's explanation.

"The two countries of Echigo, Etsu and China, facing the sea on one side and surrounded by mountains on three sides, can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If our army hadn't landed from the sea and attacked directly, I'm afraid it would take a lot of effort.

Now the army of the Takeda family came from the north, and if they wanted to enter the Echigo Plain, they had to cross this mountainous area in the north.

Zhou Yu stood in front of the one-person-high map, and as he spoke, he planted the small flag in his hand in the position of the mountain, and then continued: "Similarly, when the Date family came from the east, they had to cross the mountains to the east. , to enter the plains smoothly.

If our army can occupy first, and rely on the geographical advantage to set up a camp for defense, we can use a small amount of troops to block the two [-] troops and buy time for the main force to destroy Uesugi. "

This is why Zhou Yu decided to divide his troops despite knowing that dividing his forces would disperse his forces, because his purpose was to resist the enemy and buy time for the main force to defeat the Uesugi family.

Although the strength of the Qin army is small, its combat effectiveness is strong enough. Depending on the location, it will definitely buy enough time for the main force, and this period of time is the golden time for the main force to destroy the Uesugi family.

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, most of the generals present were stunned, only Wu Qi, Wang Jian and a few others looked indifferent, as if they had guessed it long ago.

"In order not to affect the ensuing battle, the two split divisions this time can only have a maximum of [-] troops. I wonder which general is willing to take on this important task?"

As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, Wang Jian and Wu Qi seemed to have expected it, and immediately stood up and pleaded in unison: "The last general is willing to go."

Seeing this, Gao Shun, Zhang He, Ju Yi, etc. who were a beat behind, also hurriedly stood up and asked for orders.

In the eyes of the generals of the Wei, Song and Wu Three Kingdoms, it may be an extremely difficult task to fight against [-] to [-] Japanese troops with an army of [-], but in their eyes, it is just like that. If they are lucky, they may still win.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Generals Gao Shun, Zhang He, and Ju Yi, you are all commanding an elite battalion. In the battle with the Uesugi family, the enemy is defending and we are attacking. The elite battalion must contribute. Just do it."

Hearing this, General Gao Shun showed helplessness, and then retreated together, Zhou Yu's eyes also fell on Wu Qi and Wang Jian.

"Wu Qi (Qi) and Wang Jian (Jian) ​​obey orders." Zhou Yu shouted in a low voice.

"Mo Jiang is here." The two of them clasped their fists together in response.

"The governor of the capital ordered you two to lead five thousand troops each. Wu Qi went north to resist the army of the Takeda family, and Wang Jian went east to resist the army of the Date family. We will never allow the two armies to come over with one soldier."

"promise."

Wu Qi and Wang Jian responded in unison.

Wang Jian glanced at Wu Qi subconsciously, but found that the other party was also looking at him, and both of them saw a strange look in the other's eyes.

Wu Qi: (￣ω￣)
Wang Jian: (￣︿￣)
Zhou Yu only asked them to guard the two directions to the northeast to buy time for the main force to destroy the Uesugi family, but the two of them didn't just want to buy time.

Even if they only have [-] troops in their hands, and the enemy's strength is more than six or seven times that of their own, they still think about defeating the enemy, not passive defense.

"I will not accept military orders abroad."

Both Wang Jian and Wu Qi saw the meaning revealed in each other's eyes, and their decision was destined to add a lot of color to this battle.

Faced with the siege of Uesugi, Takeda, and Date, Daqin not only did not hesitate at all, but instead divided his troops to face the three coalition forces.

This courage and boldness made Uesugi Kenshin startled again, and then increased the conscription for defense.

"His Royal Highness, you can't continue to recruit soldiers. If you continue to force the conscription, the common people will not be able to bear it." Usami Dingman, one of the Uesugi Four Heavenly Kings, said.

"No, conscription cannot stop, it must continue."

Uesugi Kenshin's eyes were full of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhou Yu is a man of wisdom and courage. Since he dared to divide his troops to fight on three fronts, he must have a certain degree of confidence. , destroy my Uesugi family."

Uesugi Kenshin has been lurking beside Zhou Yu for more than a year, asking himself that no one in Japan knows Zhou Yu better than her, and it is precisely because she knows Zhou Yu well enough that she can come to such a conclusion.

"Why is Zhou Yu so confident? What are his trump cards? We don't even know.

The only thing we can do is to continue to recruit troops, improve ourselves as much as possible, and narrow the gap with the Qin army, so the conscription must not stop. "

Hearing Uesugi Kenshin's words, Kakizaki Keiya, Naoe Ketsuna and the others couldn't help showing helplessness, and felt that the governor was too cautious.

The Uesugi family has [-] troops, but Zhou Yu only has [-] in hand, and the Uesugi family is on the defensive, and Zhou Yu is the offensive side.

So, is it really necessary to be so cautious?Even at the expense of conscription?
Uesugi Kenshin saw the expressions of his subordinates, but he didn't listen to her words, but he didn't care, as long as his own family governor treated it carefully.

"By the way, have you contacted Master Amaterasu yet?"

Uesugi Kenshin asked, she also belongs to the lineage of Onmyoji, when facing Himiko, the leader, even a daimyo, she should respectfully address her as 'Master'.

"We got in touch. Lord Amaterasu attached great importance to receiving the summons, and decided to send Susanoo and two guardian gods to support our family."

Uesugi Kenshin couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when she heard the words, she was afraid that Amaterasu would refuse her request for help, after all Amaterasu didn't even help her husband Oda Nobunaga, she didn't expect to come to help Uesugi's family now.

Uesugi Kenshin clearly knew that the gap between the Uesugi family and the Qin army was not only the overall quality of the soldiers, but also the strength of the generals.

Uesugi Kenshin is the person with the highest force in the Uesugi family, but she can't even rank among the Qin army, so if you want to block the Qin army's offensive, you must have a general who can match the Qin army in terms of force .

The overall strength of Dongpu generals is indeed not that strong, but it does not mean that Dongpu has never produced strong men, but these masters are all concentrated in Shintoism, and the most famous ones are the five guardian gods.

The five guardian gods of Shintoism are: Susanoo (God of the Sea), Jianyulei (God of Thunder), Kagutsuchi (God of Fire), Oyama Tsumi (God of Mountain), and Shinazuhiko (God of Wind);

To put it bluntly, even Japan's number one fighter, Zhongsheng Honda, is no match for any of the above five.

In addition to these five people, there are three top powerhouses who were labeled as demons by Shintoism. As far as Uesugi Kenshin knows, their strength is not weaker than these five male gods.

These three demons were all fierce generals who were active in Japan during the Yamatai period, but they were successively defeated by the powerful Shintoists during the rise of Oda Nobunaga, and then they never showed their traces of the country again, and their life and death are unknown.

They are: Yamata Enluzhi (Yaki no Orochi), Jiu Tun Doji, Ah Yurui (Dayue Maru);

The strongest Yamata no Orochi among the three great monsters has even singled out the other three of the five great male gods except for Susanoo.

Although Yamata no Orochi suffered a disastrous defeat in the end, he was able to retreat completely, which is enough to prove his strength.

As for the other two demons, Shuten-douji and Otakemaru, they are also not weak. If they are one-on-one, they are not weaker than the other four gods except Susanoo.

The five male gods and the three demons are all top fighters born in Japan.

It can also be seen from this that Dongpu has been brilliant for a period of time, and there are not a few masters.

Until Himiko was retreated and broke through the Grand Master, Oda Nobunaga took the opportunity to usurp the throne and seize power, and after the establishment of the Dongying Empire, the conflict between religion and the country broke out completely.

In the previous Yamatai Kingdom period, the state system implemented was the Communist model, and the people were all Shinto believers, and the prophets taught and then knew the country.

Oda Nobunaga felt that the long-term implementation of this model would be harmful to the country, so the Dongying Empire he established implemented a model of separation of church and state.

Oda Nobunaga's strategy is correct. The state system with separation of church and state is indeed superior to the Communist Party, but it also offended a large number of high-level Shintoists.

The five guardian gods headed by Susanoo are all dissatisfied with Oda Nobunaga's usurpation of the throne and the separation of church and state, and even want to kill Oda Nobunaga.

But Oda Nobunaga is Himiko's husband after all, and Himiko, who is the leader, doesn't nod, so Susanoo and others naturally dare not attack Oda Nobunaga.

Although Susanoo and others couldn't kill Oda Nobunaga, they would never serve for the Dongying Empire, so they all announced their retirement, which also severely damaged the strength of the Dongying Empire.

With the retreat of the five male gods protecting the law, and the life and death of the three great monsters unknown, the strongest general in Dongying's face turned out to be the number one general of the Tokugawa family, Honda Tadashi.

But Tadakatsu Honda is only a god general, not even the strength of a rudimentary god of war, so how can he bear the title of 'the strongest'?
Since then, Japan has also fallen into a period of incomplete top generals.

Uesugi Kenshin knows that Dongying is not without masters, but that the real masters are unwilling to go out of the mountain, and the only one who can let them out is Himiko, so he asks Himi for help through the relationship of Onmyoji.

After receiving the news, Himiko immediately convened high-level Shinto leaders to discuss, and came to the conclusion that once the Uesugi family was destroyed, the situation in Dongying would also deteriorate completely, so he decided to let the most powerful Susanoo, with two guardian gods Go to support the Uesugi family.

Long before the Tsushima Sea Battle, the Onmyoji lineage and the Shinto religion had reached a consensus and decided to help the local forces expel the Han coalition forces.

Facing the Han coalition forces including Daqin, Himiko, Abe Seimei and other onmyoji lineages knew that all forces that could be united must be united, so Abe Seimei went to Kyushu Island alone to find Yamata no Orochi.

In addition to Seimei Abe, Tsukuyomi was also sent to Hokkaido to find Otakemaru who lives in seclusion, while Himiko went to invite Jiu Tundoji himself.

That's right, none of the three major demons including Yamata no Orochi died, and they were deliberately let go by Shintoism.

Himiko originally wanted to subdue her and absorb her into Shintoism, but she didn't expect that her husband Oda Nobunaga, whom he had placed high hopes on, betrayed her instead.

Now that the Yamatai Kingdom has perished, and the Eastern Empire has separated church and state, it is meaningless to subdue the Three Demons.

Yamata no Orochi and the other three demons didn't know Himiko's intentions. The reason why they hid in Tibet all these years incognito was not Oda Nobunaga, but the Shinto religion headed by Himiko.

　Since there are really no warriors at the level of God of War among the historical figures of the country of Wa, the eight gods of war in the country of Wa are all mythical figures.

　　This time there are a lot of war gods in the Wa country, but the really powerful ones are only Susanoo and Yamata no Orochi. Some war gods will choose to surrender and appear in the Central Plains War.
