Chapter 2378: Tokyo Attack and Defense

Hokkaido, Ezo Country, Shigebetsukan Castle.

After seeing the "Message to the People of Japan" issued by Oda Nobunaga, Susano'o, after some reflection, resolutely said to everyone: "I am going to Tokyo to help Nobunaga. Which of you will come with me?"

.”

As soon as this statement came out, although everyone showed signs of struggle, no one stood up to object.

They came here to rescue the leader, but after searching for so long, they couldn't find even a shadow. Instead, Japan was reduced to a state of imminent subjugation.

No one doubts the relationship between Susanoo and Himiko, but continuing to search aimlessly like this is tantamount to sitting back and watching the Japanese nation collapse.

Not everyone can be like Yamata no Orochi, who can abandon the country and the nation without any burden. At least Susano'o, Kagotsuchi, Oyama Tsumi and Shina can't do it compared to the four ancient ones.

Seeing that no one objected, Tsukuyomi was secretly anxious and advised: "Even if a few of us go, I'm afraid it won't be of much use to the overall situation."

Taiyi's immortal-like combat power has caused a great psychological shadow on Tsukuyomi. Now she doesn't dare to go against Da Qin at all, because it is no different from sending death.

The reason why she took the four Susanas away from the army was not only to rescue her sister, but also because she was afraid that the four of them would be targeted by Taichi. The danger would naturally be less if they left the army.

Tsukuyomi no longer has any hope in Japan. Now she just wants to save her sister and preserve the last fire for Shintoism. Naturally, she doesn't want her brothers to go to Tokyo and die.

After hearing Tsukuyomi's words, Susano'o said without thinking, "Are we going to sit back and watch Tokyo be conquered by the Han, and let Nobunaga fight alone until his death?"

Susano'o shook his head and said, "I can't do it for my brother."

"I can't just watch Japan's collapse and live alone," Kagutu said solemnly.

"Me too."

Oyama Tsumi and Shina Hiko said in unison, but their tone was firmer than ever.

Tsukuyomi panicked when he heard this and said anxiously: "But if you go there, you are going to die."

"Men like me, why should we fear death? Sitting back and watching the country fall and living in an ignoble way is the real life worse than death." Susano'o said solemnly.

After saying that, he said no more and left without looking back, but was stopped by Tsukuyomi.

With tears in Tsukuyomi's eyes, he saved Susano'o and cried: "Onii-chan, you can't go. Naruko won't let you go. As long as you listen to Naruko this time, Naruko will listen to you in everything from now on."

of."

Susano'o's heart trembled when he heard this. If he had said what his sister said in the past, he would have happily agreed to it, but this time it wouldn't work.

Even the most beloved sister can't stop Susano'o from boxing to contribute to the country and nation.

After Susano'o took a deep breath, he suppressed the bitterness in his heart, pushed his sister away, ignored Tsukuyomi's cries, and strode away without looking back.

Kagutu, Oyamajin and Shina both followed him without saying a word.

They all knew that the fate of their trip would be very unlucky and that they would escape death, but for the sake of their country and nation, they decided to go to Tokyo and fight until the last moment without regrets.

Wow...

Heavy rain falls.

There were obviously five people when we came, but now there was only Tsukuyomi, crying in the heavy rain.

As he cried, Tsukuyomi's eyes showed a look of determination. He stood up and prepared to catch up with his brother and the others, and follow him to Tokyo to die.

But at this moment, an old man in yellow clothes appeared behind her, with white hair and a childish face, and an immortal spirit. He was obviously in the heavy rain, but as long as the raindrops landed near him, they would be automatically bounced away.

"Donghuang Taiyi?"

Tsukuyomi's eyes were filled with horror. She didn't expect Taichi to appear here. She hated him for killing her parents, but she was more afraid. She wanted to run away, but she was so scared that she didn't even dare to move.

Seeing this, Taichi couldn't help but shook his head and walked forward slowly. The closer he got, the harder Tsukuyomi shivered.

"Little girl, don't be afraid. If I want to kill you, you won't be able to escape from the Shinto Palace." Taiyi said with an indifferent expression.

"You, you let me go on purpose?"

Tsukuyomi looked shocked, but mostly still confused as to why Taiyi let him go alone.

Taiyi did not give any explanation for this and said: "Follow me, I will take you to see your sister."

Watching Taiyi's retreating back, Tsukuyomi suppressed the fear in his heart. After some thought, he wiped away the tears and rain on his face and chose to grit his teeth and follow.

Tsukuyomi followed Taichi all the way, but kept a distance until he entered a cave.

This cave looks like a cave on the surface, but there is something else inside. It is not only magnificent, but also has a large number of bamboo slips.

"here it is?"

Tsukuyomi frowned, but the next moment, a familiar voice came to his ears.

"This is the inheritance place of the Onmyoji lineage."

"Lord Seimei?"

Tsukuyomi was overjoyed when he saw that the visitor was indeed Seimei, and he quickly stepped forward to inquire about his sister's whereabouts.

But as soon as the words were spoken, Tsukuyomi immediately realized that her sister and Seimei were both Taichi's prisoners, so she also...

Not far away, Ye Qingmei was chewing an apple and looking at Yuedou with interest.

"It's really kawaii. It's the type that Brother Hao likes." Ye Qingmei chuckled and said to herself.

Ye Qingmei knew very well that after the war to conquer Japan, whether to maintain the rule of the Japanese country or to assimilate the Japanese country, there would definitely be a large-scale marriage between Han and Japanese.

In addition, during the war between Han and Japan, the total population lost by the Japanese country was probably more than one to two million, and the vast majority of them were young and strong men.

So in the post-war Japanese country, there will inevitably be a large number of widows and a situation where there are more women than men.

There are millions of Japanese women who want to get married but no one can marry them. This is undoubtedly a huge waste.

Da Qin is most in need of bachelors who cannot afford wives, so they can be sacrificed to take care of the helpless Japanese girls.

This can be said to be harmless. It can not only gain the support of the army, but also balance the ratio of men and women, and increase population growth. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.

As the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Hao must set an example when the time comes and invite several Japanese women into the palace to set an example for the generals in the army.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to marry into the Qin royal family, one must have a high enough status.

Currently, the only women in Japan with this qualification are Himiko, her sister Tsukuyomi, and Oda Nobunaga's sister Oda Ichi.

Talking back to Taichi, after he destroyed the Shinto Palace, he took Abe Seimei and Himiko to find the inheritance place of the Onmyoji lineage. After all, this was the main goal of his trip, and he finally found it in Hokkaido.

place of inheritance.

Who would have thought that the true inheritance of the Onmyoji lineage is not found in Honshu Island, nor Kyushu and Shikoku, but in Hokkaido, which is rarely seen among people?

Deep in the cave, Himihu, who is extremely beautiful and charming, is practicing cross-legged exercises to restore his power bit by bit.

Although both her and Abe Seimei's skills were crippled by Taichi, their realms are still there, and their Dantian is not damaged. They can be recovered as long as they take time, and she has now returned to the second-rate level.

After adjusting his breath, Himihu finished his exercise, but his eyes were extremely confused.

So what if she recovers completely? She is still no match for Taiyi, and there is no way she can escape from his clutches.

At this moment, Xiang Yu walked in.

When Beimihu saw Xiang Yu, his whole body tensed up, and his eyes were full of hatred and murderous intent.

Xiang Yu didn't care about Beimihu's attitude at all. After leaving behind a "Letter to the Japanese People", he said: "Let's take a look."

Himiko's face changed drastically after seeing it. She knew that Oda Nobunaga was also forced into a desperate situation, otherwise she would never have sent this message, so she asked with a cold face: "What do you want to do?"

"You should understand that Japan has no hope, and continuing to resist will not change the outcome. It will only cause more people to die in vain.

I heard that before you became the pope, you were the queen of the Yamatai Kingdom, so naturally the Japanese in the Nobi area are also your citizens.

Now your people, under the bewitchment of Oda Nobunaga, have lost their minds and are using their flesh and blood like moths to a flame to resist the Qin cavalry. Their deaths are meaningless.

If you are willing to stand up and ask them to give up resistance, at least the casualties of the people will be greatly reduced."

After saying this, Xiang Yu turned around and left, leaving Bei Mihu alone standing there with a gloomy face.

——————————

While the Battle of Nobi was going on, the war situation in the northeastern region of Honshu also noticed a certain degree of change.

Taking advantage of the main forces of Takeda and Date being restrained by the Qin army, the 50,000 Ming-Japanese mixed army, led by Chang Yuchun, seized the opportunity to raid the rear areas of the two countries and won a complete victory, occupying nearly half of the two houses in one fell swoop.

territory.

However, as Wu Qi and Wang Jian withdrew their troops, the main forces of the Takeda and Date families were liberated and returned to support the rear, and the Ming army's offensive in northeastern Honshu also slowed down.

As a result of seizing the opportunity, the Ming army not only did not lose many troops in the early battles, but instead fought more and more, and the number of troops skyrocketed to 80,000.

On the other hand, the Takeda and Date coalition forces suffered great losses in the early stage, and their total strength dropped to 90,000. Moreover, due to their disastrous defeat at the hands of the Qin army, the morale of the army was low, so that in the subsequent battle, it was still obvious that

The army was defeated step by step.

Seeing that the two families were still defeated by the Ming army despite joining forces, Takeda Shingen sent envoys to Hokkaido to ask for help from the Oyizaki family in order to reverse the situation.

Hokkaido is vast and sparsely populated. Even if there is only one power, the Uyizaki family, it is still the last among the ten Japanese countries.

In the Battle of Tsushima, the navy was completely annihilated. Nobuhiro Uizaki was already frightened, and he did not participate in the subsequent wars.

But this time is different. Hokkaido is only separated from the northeastern region of Honshu by a river.

If the Tohoku region was completely occupied, would the Uyizaki family in Hokkaido be spared? Nobuhiro Uyizaki did not dare to bet.
