Half an hour later, Ling Feng sorted out all the gains and gathered with many famous people in the mansion to discuss matters.
Ling Feng sat upright and said: "Everyone, we have won this battle, and the future is bright. Once Tokugawa Hidetada and others are eliminated, most of their territory will be used for rewards. However, we still can't
If we take it lightly, we must first disintegrate the coalition. I wonder who is willing to contribute to win some big names to join us?"
In fact, Ling Feng also wanted to wipe out all the famous names, and he could do it with his martial arts. But at this time, his foundation was too shallow to complete the task of ruling Dongyi. After all, ruling the world does not rely on personal force, but needs to establish
A ruling class that serves him.
Maeda Toshiie smiled and said: "Sir, there is a way. If you want to reassure all the daimyo, the only way is marriage."
At this time, the coalition forces were defeated, two great sword masters and six great swordsmen were killed, and the top combat power was almost completely destroyed. Even if the troops were still superior, it would be difficult to withstand Horio Yoshiharu's offensive. Therefore, he had already felt in his heart
Deciding to sincerely surrender, he took the initiative to make suggestions. Moreover, if Ling Feng replaced Toyotomi Hideyoshi and established the shogunate, as a meritorious official, he would be able to receive many territorial rewards.
Ling Feng nodded and said: "I understand, you can go ahead and lobby, but my son Zhong is not married yet."
Horio Yoshiharu also has a son who is currently disguised by Ryuu Wei, so there is no problem in marrying several daimyo's daughters.
Immediately, the Nakamura Kazushi, Ikoma Chimasa and other daimyo also expressed their willingness to contribute to persuade some daimyo.
The next step is to select reliable officials to manage Kyoto Prefecture. Now that the coalition forces have retreated, Kyoto Prefecture will soon fall into Ling Feng's hands. But without reliable officials to manage, there is no rule. Most of the original officials can stay in office, but few
Some stubborn elements must be eliminated.
There are also rewards based on military merit, including promotion to military positions and rewards of money and food.
Then they sent out troops to defeat the coalition forces led by Tokugawa Hidetada. Naturally, Ling Feng personally led the attack.
Immediately, Ling Feng's troops divided into two groups, led by himself. There were 50,000 soldiers, including Lin Ziyi and other Dragon Guard elites, chasing the coalition at full speed. The other group had Li Fenghua, Li Ruohua and other Dragon Whale Guards as the core, including Maeda Toshiie, Nakamura
The retainers and generals of the Ichi clan and other daimyo led 40,000 troops, swept through the Kinki area, and quickly restored order. As for Fushimi Castle, only 10,000 troops were left to guard it.
…
Half an hour later, west of Kyoto Prefecture, Osaka Castle.
This Osaka Castle was originally the home base of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces. Ling Feng led an army to sweep it once, but no soldiers were left to garrison it, so it fell under the control of the coalition forces.
At this time, inside the city lord's palace.
The alliance lords were discussing strategies to defeat the enemy. Although the alliance was defeated in this battle and two sword masters and six great swordsmen were killed, the loss of troops was not serious, less than 5,000 men. Therefore, they
He has no intention of admitting defeat and is ready to fight again to eliminate the forces of "Horio Yoshiharu".
Tokugawa Hidetada said: "Everyone, Sword Master Kamiizumi has superb martial arts. If we can't get rid of him, we will definitely suffer heavy losses on the battlefield. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
At this time, Tokugawa Hidetada had the largest territory, and with the support of Tokugawa Ieyasu's retainers and generals, his strength ranked first among the coalition forces. He also led this battle and assumed the position of general. And what kind of battle is the sword master level?
He also understands that almost no one can compete with him in a frontal battle. Unless he has an absolute advantage in military strength, he will send out masters to encircle and kill him.
Mouri Hide said: "I know that there is a brave warrior Sanada Nobushige. He is brave enough that no one can match him. He may be able to resist the sword master Kamiizumi Nobunaga."
Tokugawa Hidetada smiled and said: "Okay, I wonder if you guys have any recommendations?"
Immediately, Uesugi Sadasho said: "The Tsuchimikado family in charge of the Onnyōryō can control the Yokai shikigami, and may be able to deal with Ueizumi Shinobu."
Later, other daimyo recommended several kendo school ancestors, including Tomita Seigen of Nakajo Ryu, who was once the master of Nakamaki Jizhai. There was also his younger brother Tomita Keimasa, of Bato Ryu.
Zu Linzaki Jinsuke and so on.
A moment later, a middle-aged man dressed as a ninja suddenly came in a hurry and said: "My lord, Horio Yoshiharu's army is coming!"
Tokugawa Hidetada's expression changed, and he immediately returned to calmness, saying: "Hattori, please continue to pay attention to the enemy's dynamics."
Hattori Hanzo nodded and quickly excused himself.
At this time, Tokugawa Hidetada said: "Everyone, it's not the time for a duel yet, let's give Osaka Castle to them first. When our masters arrive, we will kill Izumi Nobu first, and then destroy Horio Yoshiharu. When the time comes,
We will divide the acquired territory together."
All the daimyo nodded and immediately led the troops to retreat together.
Not long after the coalition forces retreated, Ling Feng's 50,000 troops arrived at Osaka Castle.
At this time, it was getting close to dusk, so Ling Feng ordered a fire to be made for cooking. After eating and resting for half an hour, the army continued to set off. As for Osaka Castle, only a thousand soldiers were left to maintain order.
However, the coalition forces changed direction and retreated all the way to Nagahama Castle near Lake Biwa in Omi Province.
In the evening, as the sun set, Ling Feng's 50,000-strong army pursued him leisurely. However, when they arrived near Lake Bipa, snowflakes suddenly began to appear in the sky, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply. Moreover, the snow fell heavier and heavier, and the temperature became lower and lower. Long Wei
Officers with samurai level and above can also protect themselves from the cold with infuriating energy. Ordinary soldiers suddenly shivered in the snowy cold wind and could no longer move forward.
Lin Ziyi said to Horio Yoshiharu, played by Han Lei: "Sir, the weather has changed suddenly, like a demon causing chaos."
A surrendered swordsman said: "My lord, it is said that there is a monster called Yukiji who can manipulate the weather and create ice and snow."
Han Lei nodded, looked at Shang Quanxin, played by Ling Feng, and said, "Master Sword Master, do you have any good ideas?"
Ling Feng smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry, wait for me to kill this monster!"
After he finished speaking, his figure flashed, like a fleeting shadow, and disappeared into the distance.
A moment later, beside a vast lake, a beautiful lady in white with long light blue hair, a face like white jade, and skin like gelatin stood out on the ice and snow. A steady stream of ice-cold breath poured out of her body, making the sky freeze with ice and snow.
The power of the water spirit in the lake continued to penetrate into the body of the woman in white, replenishing the demonic power she had consumed.
At this moment, a figure in white appeared in a flash, it was Ling Feng pretending to be the sword master Kamiizumi Nobu, but the cold air around him was like a swallow returning to its nest, quickly entering his body. Ling Feng was like a black hole of spiritual energy, and everything
Water-attributed spiritual energy, demonic power, etc. will be swallowed by him and transformed into his own Canglang True Essence.
Xue Ji's complexion changed drastically, her crystal-clear jade hands were placed in front of her body, the thick ice demon power in her body quickly gathered, and she suddenly pushed out her palms!
The sky was filled with fine white ice cones shooting towards Ling Feng like hailstones in a continuous stream.
Ling Feng's expression was indifferent. The Xuan Shui martial soul that had been refined into the Xuan Ming Ji realm suddenly started to move. A force field of ice suddenly appeared, and all the white ice picks suddenly stopped three feet in front of Ling Feng.
At this moment, one of the white ice cones suddenly shattered, and a white silver needle as crystal clear as ice and snow broke through the ice force field and shot toward Ling Feng's chest.
