different warring states of japan

Chapter 54 Sword Art
In the early morning of the next day, in the atrium of the Hana Palace, Yoshiki Ashikaga, accompanied by Nobuzuna Fan Shangizumi, a master of war, performed morning exercises.

Muromachi shogunate Wada Yuomasa walked in, glanced anxiously, but didn't speak.

The Wada family is an old samurai family in Minami Omi, and has ties to both the Ashikaga family and the Rokkaku family.

Wada Yoomasa is gorgeous in appearance and elegant in speech, and is responsible for the foreign affairs of the Ashikaga Yoshiki shogunate.

Sighing, Ashikaga Yoshiki didn't want to know what happened.Anyway, the Ashikaga family is already in the shoals of dragons, let those fish and shrimps tease them.

"Teacher Fan, tell me, is there any swordsmanship in this world that can be used by a single rider to kill all rebels in the world?"

Nobuzuna Umizumi froze for a moment, saw Wada outside, and knew why the general suddenly felt depressed.

"Swordsmanship is not witchcraft, and there are limits to what one person and one sword can do."

Knowing that Yoshiki was depressed, but Nobuzuna Shangizumi upholds the way of the sword and refuses to talk nonsense.Yihui nodded, she also understood the truth.

Swordsmanship looks majestic on weekdays, but in fact it is not easy to use on the battlefield.

Once the battlefield is fully prepared, Japanese swords are delicate, and they will be useless if they can't kill a few people.On the battlefield, most of them use guns, bows, or special Nodachi swords.

Second, the battlefield pays attention to battle formation.What is fighting is organizational ability and soldier morale.

Personal bravery is useful, but if you can't integrate into the army's tactics, just relying on personal heroes, even the ashigaru array can make you clear, and death is useless.

Yihui just felt depressed in his chest and wanted to vent some.Seeing her like this, Umizumi Nobutsuna comforted her.

"Actually, there is a saying that there is a kind of swordsman who can do it."

Yihui became interested, and without looking at the anxious Wada in the distance, he motioned for Sensei Uizumi to continue talking.

"All schools of swordsmanship use various methods to deduce and practice the various abilities of the human body, so that they can reach the ultimate level when using swords.

In fact, people themselves have this ability. "

Yihui asked.

"Is it very strong? You don't need to study hard? Hahaha, Teacher Fan is joking."

Umizumi shook his head.

"I'm not joking. Some people moved all the objects out of the house in a hurry because of a fire in their house, even large items that required several people to move."

Yihui smiled.

"Is that the power of greed?"

"There was another person who was walking on a mountain road with a child when a huge boulder suddenly rolled down from her head. In order to protect her child, she struggled to lift the boulder weighing several hundred kilograms."

"This.."

Yoshiki didn't understand a little bit, and Nobuzuna Kamizumi said seriously.

"Then they all died.

Human physical strength is very strong, so strong that people themselves cannot bear the consequences of using it, so they will self-enclose so that people can only use a small part of their strength.

When people will lift the restrictions in times of crisis and burst out with extreme strength, she will be far stronger than usual at that time.

But the shackles of the human body are also protection. Once they fail, they will collapse and die due to the extreme use of strength afterwards. "

Yihui thought about it.

"What Shifan means is that if there is a swordsman who can free herself from the shackles of her body, then she can be as powerful as a thousand and invincible?"

Kamizumi Nobutsuna laughed out loud.

"It's just a joke. There are no such people in the world, and even if there are, they won't live long."

Yihui laughed, and felt much better while talking and laughing.Nobuzuna Umizumi nodded, and walked towards Yuomasa Wada.

At the same time, outside Owari Kiyosu Castle.

Yi Yin and Li Yi led the horses, and immediately hung up the luggage on the road. Takada Yoshino and Maeda Toshihisa came to see him off.

"Xue Nai is gone?"

Yiyin frowned, feeling strange that he didn't see Xue Nai this morning, who knew that this girl would never be seen when she saw her off.

Yang Nai can see it.

"She probably didn't want to say goodbye to you and hid."

Yiyin nodded, thinking that this made sense.

"Master Yiyin, please be careful on this journey."

Yi Yin said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. On the way, I'll let them bring back letters from merchants who are familiar with the Oda family."

Yiyin has not been idle these days, and has been fighting fiercely with several merchants in Qingzhou Castle Town.The footholds on the road have been asked clearly, and the map is also prepared.

I also know a lot about the grievances and hatreds of some Wu families in recent days.He was born in Owari, and he doesn't know much about recent events, so he needs to work hard.

Fortunately, these businessmen are doing business on the Tokaido recently, and the samurai on the road are not familiar with it and dare not take this business route.

It is enough to learn some daily news from them.Of course, if you give money, it’s not impossible to say that some secrets, running thousands of miles is just asking for money.

Yiyin didn't pay, he was going to give gifts to the general, not to fight.It's enough to have an idea in mind, knowing so much why, and spending money, and Nobunaga will not reimburse you.

After Yiyin and Yangnai finished speaking, they talked to Lijiu again.

"Maeda-sama, I will trouble you with family affairs. Just let Yang Nao do your best to do external affairs. After all, it was His Highness Oda who called and chased you."

Riku nodded.

"Lord, don't worry, Li Jiu understands."

Before Yiyin left, the system left behind was that Yang was in charge of internal affairs, and Lijiu was in charge of foreign and military affairs.

But on the surface, Yoshihisa is the one left behind by Yoshinaga, and Riku, who was exiled by Nobunaga, only lives in Ozama Maeda's house in the name of benefiting his adoptive mother.

Both of them have flaws, they need each other's cooperation, and their loyalty is guaranteed.

Such an arrangement would allow Yiyin to go to Luojingdu with peace of mind and not have to worry about family affairs.

Yi Yin and Yi Yi waved their hands back after getting on their horses, and rode away.

In Qingzhou City behind him, there were bursts of shouts from a swordsmanship dojo.

The sword hall here is located in the city instead of the castle town, which shows that Nobunaga favors the owner of the hall.

Most of the cities in the Warring States period were narrow and small, and the buildings that had nothing to do with city defense were located in the castle town. Only the residences of important ministers and horse Hui people were placed in the city.

The owner of the sword hall is named Aizhou Nobuchu, who is from the family of Aizhou Yinliu.After coming to Kiyosu Castle from Ise country's hometown, he won many swordsmanship competitions held by Nobunaga, and was rewarded for opening a sword gym in this dojo in the city.

She was staring at the disciples swinging swords in the arena, and she would scold them for any wrong posture or spirit.

At this time, the door of the dojo was pushed open.A petite woman walked in.

Her hair was tied casually behind her neck, and there was a newly healed cross knife mark on her left cheek. There was a large blemish on her delicate and beautiful face, and she stood a little weakly.

"Shiba Liu Takada Yukino, I ask you for advice."

"you again!"

Aizhou Nobutada was furious.She recognizes this woman, she came to ask about the true teaching of swordsmanship out of nowhere a few days ago.

Can my family's swordsmanship be spread so casually?ridiculous!
The irritable she used the name of the battle to disable the woman's right hand, and then left some marks on her face, so that she would not forget the lesson.

Had it not been for her reporting the name of the Shiba family, she would have taken her life that day.But my kindness didn't seem to be appreciated.

With a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, Aizhou took the knife and stood up.

"Then let me teach you."

The two stood in the dojo, surrounded by disciples of Aizhou.Nobutada Aizhou waved the knife in his hand, posing in the middle.

Xue Nai stood there coldly, as if in a daze.

Aizhou Xinzhong was angry, stepped forward a few steps, and slashed at Xue Nai's neck with his knife.

Suddenly she felt the world turned upside down, and then saw her own body.There are still doubts in my mind, and I have lost consciousness.

The surrounding Aizhou disciples were in an uproar, and Shi Fan's head was chopped off without seeing how Xue Nao drew the sword for a moment.

Surrounded the murderer angrily, but no one dared to step forward.No one is afraid of the invisible knife just now.

Xue Nai coughed twice and shook her head in disappointment.Regardless of them, they walked out, no one dared to stop them.
