Chapter 2361 The Eight Great Gods of Japan
Chapter 2358: The Eight Great Gods of Japan
In addition to the Takeda family, the Ida family also received requests for help.
Today, in the northeastern part of Honshu, there are only two forces left, namely the Takeda family and the Ita family.
The Ida family is a local force in the northeast of the capital, while the Takeda family is an external force.
After being defeated by the Oda family, the Takeda family was forced to retreat to the northeast of Honshu and established a country again.
The northeast of Honshu is a barren land. The Takeda family re-emerged in the northeast of Honshu, which naturally affected the interests of the Ida family. The two countries are constantly dirty.
In order to prevent the snipe and clam fighting, which led to the profit of the Oda family fisherman, Takeda Shingen cleverly promised the Ida family that once the original land was regained from the Oda family, he would voluntarily withdraw from the northeastern part of the present.
Origin Takeda Shingen''s verbal promise, Masato Ida naturally would not believe, but if the two families continue to fight, it will indeed make the Oda family fishermen benefit, so they took this step with the flow, and the relationship between the two families has changed from confrontation to uniting the Oda family.
Ida Masamune is also a hero of his 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 will never end. However, Takeda Shingen was able to temporarily put down his hatred for the Oda family for the sake of justice and join forces with Oda Nobunaga to the outside world.
This mind and courage are something that Ida Masato Sect does not have, so he, who was originally hostile to Takeda Shingen, gradually changed his attitude and became more and more admiring Takeda Shingen.
This time, Masato Ida originally ignored the Uesugi family''s robbery. After all, it was not his Ida family who was robbed. And God knows that once he sends troops, the Han coalition will suddenly land in his country?
It can be seen that Takeda Shingen was so decisive that he even led the troops to support the Uesugi family in person, which made Masamune Ida realize his shallowness again, so he changed his mind and decided to lead the troops to support the Uesugi family in person.
After learning that the Ida family was willing to send troops to aid, Kenshin Uesugi was overjoyed.
The Takeda family has 30,000 reinforcements, the Ida family has 40,000 reinforcements, and the total strength of the two families has reached 70,000.
In addition to the 80,000 troops of the Uesugi family, the total strength of the Uesugi, Takeda and Ida families has reached an astonishing 150,000.
The total strength of the Qin army is less than 60,000. Even if the six or seven thousand surrendered troops of Echigo Kingdom are less than half of the three alliances.
What''s more, the Uesugi family is in the south, the Takeda family is in the north, and the Ida family is also entering the mountainous area and is about to come from the east, as if it is surrounded by three sides.
Once the three sides of the three families are formed, the Qin army will undoubtedly be in a passive state, which Zhou Yu would unbearable.
Therefore, after some discussion, Zhou Yu decided to adopt Guo Jia''s plan and divide his troops to resist the enemy.
The Qin army has not had much force, and if they divide the troops, it will only further weaken their strength.
In this regard, except for a few people such as Wu Qi and Wang Jian, most generals such as Lu Bu, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were puzzled, and they did not suddenly become enlightened after listening to Zhou Yu''s explanation.
“The two countries, both sides are facing the sea and surrounded by mountains on three sides, which can be said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack.
If our army had not landed from the sea and attacked directly, it would have to take some measures.
Now the Takeda family''s army is coming from the north. If you want to enter the Echigo Plain, you must cross this mountainous area in the north.
Zhou Yu stood in front of a map that was high, and said as he inserted the small flag in his hand into the mountainous area, and then continued: "Similarly, the Ida family came from the east and had to cross the mountains to the east to successfully enter the plains.
If our army can take the lead in occupying and rely on the advantage of territories and set up battalions to set up defenses, it can use a small amount of troops to block the two 70,000 troops and buy time for the main force to destroy Uesugi. ”
This is why Zhou Yu knew that division of troops would disperse his power, but he still decided to divide the troops, because his purpose was to resist the enemy and buy time for the main army to defeat the Uesugi family.
Although the Qin army has few troops, its combat power is strong enough. If it is a good place, it will definitely gain enough time for the main force, and this period is the golden time for the main force to destroy the Uesugi family.
Hearing Zhou Yu''s words, most of the generals present showed a sudden look, only a few people including Wu Qi, Wang Jian, etc. looked calm, as if they had guessed it long ago.
"In order not to affect the next battle, the two partial divisions assigned this time can only have a maximum of 5,000 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 asked in unison, "I am willing to go there."
Gao Shun, Zhang He, Ju Yi and others who were slowing down saw this and hurriedly stood up to ask for their orders.
To fight against 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese troops may be an extremely difficult task in the eyes of generals from the Wei, Song and Wu, but in their eyes, it is just that. If you are lucky, you may still win.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu thought about it for a while and said, "The three generals Gao Shun, Zhang He and Ju Yi, all you command are elite battalions. The battle with the Uesugi family is the enemy defending and attacking us. The elite battalion must do its best."
Hearing this, Gao Shunsan General showed helplessness and then retreated together, and Zhou Yu''s eyes also fell on Wu Qi and Wang Jian.
"Wu Qi (qi) Wang Jian (jian) obeyed the orders." Zhou Yu shouted softly.
"Don''t be there." The two of them responded with fists together.
"I ordered you two to lead a 5,000 army each. Wu Qi went north to resist the Takeda family army, and Wang Jian advanced east to resist the Ida family army, and never let the two armies come over one army and one soldier."
"No."
Wu Qi and Wang Jian responded in unison.
Wang Jian subconsciously glanced at Wu Qi, but found that the other party was also looking at him, and both of them saw a strange look in each other''s eyes.
Wu Qi: (￣ω￣)
Wang Jian: (￣︿￣)
Zhou Yu only asked them to defend the northeast direction and buy time for the main army to destroy the Uesugi family, but what they both thought was not just to buy time.
Even if they only have five thousand troops in their hands and the enemy''s strength is more than six or seven times their own, what they want is to defeat the enemy rather than passive defense.
"The military orders will not be accepted by the foreign military."
Wang Jian and Wu Qi both saw the meaning revealed in each other''s eyes, and their decision was destined to add a lot of color to this battle.
Facing the siege of Uesugi, Takeda and Ita, Daqin was not afraid at all, but instead divided his troops to fight against the three coalition forces.
This courage and courage made Kenshi Uesugi again shocked, and then increased the recruitment for defense.
"Your Highness Daming, you can''t continue to recruit troops. If you continue to recruit so hard, the people will not be able to bear it." Usa Mita, one of the four kings of Uesugi, said in a statement. “No, the recruitment cannot be stopped, it must continue.”
Kenshin Uesugi''s eyes were full of solemn expressions, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhou Yu is a man of wisdom and courage. Since he dares to divide his troops to fight on three fronts, he must be sure to destroy our Uesugi family before Takeda and Ida break through the two fronts of the north and east."
Kenshi Uesugi was lurking around Zhou Yu for more than a year, asking himself that no one in Japan knew Zhou Yu better than her. It was precisely because she knew Zhou Yu enough that she came to such a conclusion.
"Why is Zhou Yu so confident? What exactly is his trump card? We don''t know.
The only thing we can do is to continue to recruit soldiers, improve ourselves as much as possible, and narrow the gap with the Qin army, so recruitment must not be stopped. ”
Hearing this statement from Kenno Uesugi, Keika Kashizaki, Keika Naoe and others couldn''t help but look helpless, and they all felt that the family governor was too cautious.
The Uesugi family has an army of 80,000, but Zhou Yu only has 50,000. And the Uesugi family is on the defensive side, Zhou Yu is the attacking side.
So, is it really necessary to be so cautious? Even overloading recruitment?
When Kenshi Uesugi saw the expressions of his subordinates, he just didn''t listen to her words, but he didn''t care. As long as his family supervisor was cautious, it would be enough.
"By the way, have you contacted Lord Amaterasu?"
Kenshin Uesugi asked, she also belonged to the Onmyoji lineage. When facing the leader of Himeji, even as a daimyo, she would respectfully call her "Master".
"I''ve contacted it. After receiving the message, Lord Amaterasu attached great importance to it and decided to send Susano Mama to lead two charity gods to support our family."
Kenshin Uesugi couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this. She was afraid that Amaterasu would refuse her request for help. After all, Amaterasu didn''t even help her husband Oda Nobunaga, and she didn''t expect that she would come to help the Uesugi family now.
Kenno Uesugi clearly knew that the gap between the Uesugi family and the Qin army was even greater in addition to the comprehensive quality of the soldiers.
Kenshino Uesugi is the most powerful person in the Uesugi family, but she can''t even be named in the Qin army. Therefore, if you want to block the Qin army''s offensive, you must have a general who can compete with the Qin army in terms of force.
The overall strength of the Japanese generals is indeed not very strong, but it does not mean that Japan has never had strong men. It’s just that these masters are all concentrated in Shintoism, and the most famous of them are the five male gods of the sect.
The five major male gods of Shintoism are: Susano Male (Sea God), Jianyu Thunder (Thunder God), Kagutu (Fire God), Oyama Tsumi (Mountain God), and Shinabi (Feng God);
To be honest, even if Honda Tada, the most powerful general in Japan, is not the opponent of any of the above five people.
In addition to these five people, there are three top-level strong men who have been beaten to be demons by Shinto. As far as Uesugi Kenshin knows, their strength is no weaker than these five male gods.
These three demons were all powerful generals who were active in Japan during the Evil Matai period, but on the way Oda Nobunaga''s rise, they were defeated by the powerful Shintoists one after another, and they never showed their national traces again, and they were not aware of life and death.
They are: Hamata Toru Yooki (Orochi Yamata), Shuitun Toko, and Ayuru (Ogatamaru);
The strongest among the three demons, Yamata Orochi, even had the record of fighting against the five male gods alone, except Susano.
Although Yamata Orochi was defeated in the end, he was able to escape unscathed, which proves his strength.
As for the other two demons, Shuitun Boy and Ogata Maru, their strength is also not weak. If it is one-on-one, it is not weaker than the other four gods except Susano.
The five male gods and the three demons are all top-level generals born in Japan.
This shows that Japan was once glorious for a period of time, and the number of masters was still numerous.
Until Hiyahu was retreated and broke through the Grandmaster, Oda Nobunaga took the opportunity to usurp the throne and seize power, and established the Japanese Empire, conflicts between religion and the country broke out completely.
In the previous period of the Ema Tai Kingdom, the national system implemented was a model of unity of politics and religion. The people were all Shinto believers, and they could only know the country.
Oda Nobunaga felt that long-term implementation of this model would be harmful and useless to the country, so the Japanese Empire he established implemented a model of separation of church and state.
Oda Nobunaga''s strategy is correct. The national system of separation of religion and politics is indeed more superior than the integration of religion and politics, but it also offended a large number of Shinto''s senior leaders.
The five guardian male gods led by Susano, were all dissatisfied with Oda Nobunaga''s usurpation of the throne and separation of church and state, and even wanted to kill Oda Nobunaga.
But Oda Nobunaga is Hiyaku''s husband after all. As the leader of the school, Hiyaku did not nod, so Susano and others naturally did not dare to attack Oda Nobunaga.
Although Susano-oka and others could not kill Oda Nobunaga, they would never serve the Japanese Empire, so they all announced their retirement, which also greatly damaged the Japanese Empire''s vitality.
As the five guardian male gods retreated, the three demons were unaware of their lives and deaths. The strongest general in Japan became the number one general of the Tokugawa family, and Honda Tada won.
But Benduo Zhongsheng is just a **** general, and he doesn’t even have the strength of a first-level war god. How can he bear the title of “strongest”?
Since then, Japan has also fallen into a period of disconnection between top generals.
Kenshin Uesugi knows that Japan is not without masters, but real masters are just unwilling to come out. The only one who can get them out is Himeji, so he called for help from Himeji through the relationship between the Onmyoji lineage.
After receiving the news, Himeya immediately summoned the senior Shinto sects discussions and concluded that once the Uesugi family is destroyed, the situation in Japan will completely deteriorate. Therefore, he decided to let the strongest Susano, take the two guardian gods, go to support the Uesugi family.
Long before the Battle of Tsuma Hai, the Onmyoji lineage and Shintoism had reached a consensus and decided to help local forces expel the Han coalition.
Faced with the Han coalition forces including the Qin Dynasty, the Onmyoji lineage of Himeji, Abe Seimei and other Onmyoji knew that they must unite all forces that can be united, so Abe Seimei went to Kyushu Island alone to find Yamao Orochi.
In addition to Abe Harumaki, Tsukido was also sent to Hokkaido to find the secluded Ogamaru, while Hiyaku went to invite the boy Shuitun himself.
That''s right, the three major demons including Yamata Orochi were not dead, and they were deliberately let go by Shinto.
Himeyahu originally wanted to subdue it and absorb it into Shintoism, but he did not expect that his husband Oda Nobunaga, whom he had high hopes, would betray her instead.
Now that the evil horse-Taiwan Kingdom has perished, the Japanese Empire has separated from church and state, and it is meaningless to conquer the three demons.
The three demons including Yamai Orochi did not know what Himeya Hu meant. The reason why they hid in hiding in the past few years was not Oda Nobunaga, but Shintoism led by Himeya Hu.
?Because there are no strong generals of the God of War among the historical figures in Japan, all the eight God of War in Japan are mythological figures.
??There are a lot of war gods in Japan this time, but the only ones who are really powerful are Susano and Yamata Orochi. Some war gods will choose to surrender and appear in the Central Plains War.
