Chapter 2355: The Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei

 The terrain of Bungo Kingdom is mainly mountainous, with many mountains and few plains. The terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

 The Song State was able to easily capture Bungo State mainly because the local forces surrendered, otherwise at least two to three thousand people would have died.

 In such a mountainous and forested area, it would be difficult for a person to hide in and be discovered again.

At this time, in the dense Bungo mountain forest, two figures chasing each other were constantly shuttling through the mountain forest. It was Zhao Yun and Yamata no Orochi.

The reason why Yamata no Orochi fled into the mountains was to use the complex terrain of the Bungo Mountains to get rid of Zhao Yun's pursuit. However, Zhao Yun's pursuit was too tight, and he was seriously injured and could not escape at all.

Yamata no Orochi felt so aggrieved. If he hadn't been injured before the fight with Zhao Yun, how could he have been chased by Zhao Yun for more than a hundred miles like a lost dog?

Seeing a cliff not far ahead, Yamata no Orochi's heart suddenly tightened. He turned to look at Zhao Yun behind him and roared: "Zhao Zilong, what kind of hatred do we have? It's worth chasing me for more than a hundred miles." ? Don’t bully others too much.”

If it were an ordinary person, Zhao Yun might not have answered, but Yamata no Orochi is a strong man among his own, so he would not and would not ignore him.

Zhao Yun: "Yama no Orochi, there is no enmity between you and me, but you have committed a capital crime by killing many people from the Qin, Song and Wu kingdoms. It is Zhao Yun's duty to hunt you down."

Yamata no Orochi was furious: "Don't I deserve to be alive? Do I have to be captured without mercy and let you Han people kill me?

You Han people are massacring civilians in Kyushu, don't you still allow us Japanese people to resist? "

Hearing this, Zhao Yun suddenly fell silent. With a strong sense of justice, he even felt guilty for a moment in his heart, but it was only for a moment. Soon his heart was replaced by determination.

“The common people of Japan are all slaves of the daimyo. They have no human rights at all. Do you, Yamata no Orochi, care about the common people?”

Faced with Zhao Yun's rhetorical question, it was Yamata no Orochi's turn to remain silent this time. How could a person like him care about the lives of civilians?

As for those famous people, except for a few, everyone else is just like him, they are all the same, no one cares about the life and death of civilians.

Seeing the expression of Yamata no Orochi, Zhao Yun's heart seemed to be opened by something, and he said happily: "The killings that the Japanese country is experiencing now are the necessary processes to achieve peace. In the future, their descendants will be grateful to the Qin Dynasty. "

“You are really hypocritical, Zhao Zilong, to talk about killing in such a high-sounding way.” Yamata no Orochi mocked.

"Whether you are hypocritical or upright, no matter what, I will never let you go. If you want to blame me, I can only blame you for being born in a Japanese country and being a Japanese." Zhao Yun said calmly.

Seeing that his words did not dispel the other party's murderous intention, but actually made the other party's murderous intention stronger. Yamata no Orochi, who was already standing on the edge of the cliff, was extremely anxious.

It is definitely impossible to beat him, after all, he is injured all over, and Zhao Yun is almost in peak condition.

You can escape but you can't escape. After all, there is Zhao Yun blocking the way in front, and there is an endless abyss behind.

"Zhao Zilong, you can't win with force. If it's a fair fight, you may not be my opponent." Yamata no Orochi said with a fierce expression.

Zhao Yun shook his head and said confidently: "Even if it's a fair fight, you will definitely lose."

　　"Don't bully others too much. If you really push me into a hurry, I won't let you have an easy life even if you die."

　　Yama no Orochi roared with a crazy look on his face, already having desperate thoughts in his heart, even if he died, he would take Zhao Yun's back.

Zhao Yun held the spear in front of him, not caring about the threat of Yamata no Orochi at all. He hooked his left hand and said provocatively: "You can't ask for anything more, as long as you still have this strength."

"you…"

Yama no Orochi was completely angry, and was about to fight Zhao Yun, but a voice came out in his mind.

　　"Yamata Torochi, if you want to survive, jump from here."

　　Yama no Orochi was startled for a moment, but he immediately realized that there was someone hiding in the dark, communicating with him through secret language.

"Who are you? What is your purpose? How do I know if you are lying to me?"

　　　…”

The man did not answer, but just sent another message: "Jump if you want to survive." Then he ignored Yamata no Orochi again.

When Yamata no Orochi saw that the opponent was unresponsive, although he still had some doubts in his heart, he would definitely die in a battle with Zhao Yun with his seriously injured body. If the man didn't lie to him, this might be his only chance of survival.

"Let's take a gamble. If the bet is right, you can still live. If the bet is wrong, the worst is death. Give it a try."

After Yamata no Orochi made up his mind, he looked at Zhao Yun coldly: "Zhao Zilong, you can't kill me. The only person who can decide my life or death is myself."

After saying this, Yamata no Orochi leaned back and actually jumped off the cliff.

Zhao Yun was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect that the other party would jump off the cliff. He quickly ran to the edge of the cliff and watched the other party's whereabouts disappear from his sight little by little.

"Would you rather commit suicide than die by my gun? You are a man, but it's a pity." Zhao Yun said to himself with a complicated look.

When Yamata-no-Orochi jumped off the cliff, Zhao Yun's mission was completed. He was planning to return directly, but he couldn't bear the thought of his body being exposed in the wilderness and being eaten by jackals, so he decided to go to the bottom of the cliff to collect the body of Yamata-no-Orochi.

What Zhao Yun didn't know was that Yamata-no-Orochi was not dead, but was saved by a mysterious master under the cliff.

 “Thank you so much, senior, for your life-saving grace, I will be grateful in the future.”

Yamata no Orochi said with a pale face and clasped his fists in thanks. Although he was saved by the expert in front of him, he still suffered a lot of impact and his injuries were more serious than before.

The mysterious man turned around, revealing a handsome face that was more beautiful than a woman, looked at Yamata no Orochi and said: "Yamata Torochi, it's only been a few years, don't you even recognize me?"

 “Qing, Qingming? You are Ampere Qingming.”

Yamata no Orochi was immediately frightened, staring at the opponent with a vigilant expression, a hint of hatred in his eyes, and said in a serious voice: "If you hadn't attacked me in a sneak attack and injured me, how would I have lost to Susano'o?

 You brought me to this end, so why did you save me? What is your conspiracy? "

“The reason why I injured you in the first place was to prevent you from continuing to do evil.

The reason why I am saving your life now is because Japan is facing a great disaster and needs to unite all the forces that can be united. "

 At this point, Abe Seimei's eyes showed a look of prayer: "Yamata no Orochi, Japan needs your power now."

Hearing what Abe Seimei said, Yamata no Orochi immediately sneered: "Do you think I care about the survival of Japan? The survival of all countries in this state has nothing to do with me."

“Even if you don’t care about this, it is an indisputable fact that you have offended the three kingdoms of Qin, Song, and Wu. They will never let you go. Currently, only Japan can protect you.

 You can survive only if Japan is here. If Japan dies, you will die sooner or later. ”    Yaki Orochi fell silent immediately. He knew that what Abe Seimei said was right, but he had a big grudge against Oda Nobunaga and was not willing to compromise like this.

Abe Seimei also knew that it would not be so easy to convince Yamata no Orochi, so he said: "Whether you are willing to contribute or not, you should leave this place first and return to the main state. If you continue to delay, Zhao Yun will probably arrive."

The Yamata no Orochi suddenly became excited. Yes, with Zhao Yun's level of caution, he would definitely come down to find his body.

 “Let’s go, let’s go now.”

 …

After Zhao Yun went down to the bottom of the cliff, he found blood stains in many places, but he couldn't find the body of Yamata-no-Orochi. He immediately realized that Yamata-no-Orochi was probably not dead.

 “How on earth did he survive?”

Zhao Yun’s brows furrowed, he held his chin with his right hand, and analyzed to himself: “Could someone be rescuing him? Yes, that’s definitely the case. He can’t save himself alone.

This Yamata-no-Orochi is really cunning, and he got caught accidentally.

Now that the trace of Yamata no Orochi has been lost, and his anti-reconnaissance ability is extremely strong, he will never leave any traces. It may not be easy to catch up with him.

But he will definitely go to the Kanmon Strait. I can just go directly to the Kanmon Strait and wait. "

Having said that, Zhao Yun did not stay any longer and planned to repeat his old tricks and head directly to the Kanmon Strait, waiting for the Yamata no Orochi to come to his door.

After entering Fengqian Kingdom, Zhao Yun immediately contacted Xia Houyuan, hoping that the Wei army could cooperate with him to block the main road and capture the Yamata no Orochi.

After Xia Houyuan captured Chikuzen and Bunzen, he captured a large amount of wealth and grain. If it could be transported back to the country, Wei's finances would be much better.

Xia Houyuan knew that the current captures were just appetizers, and the real feast was still in Honshu, so he increasingly felt that this expedition to Japan was absolutely correct.

If Wei Jun wants to continue to open up the situation in this state, it must keep up with the pace of Qin, so it will naturally not reject Zhao Yun's request, and Yamata no Orochi is also jointly wanted by the four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song, and Wu.

In front of a certain checkpoint, Abe Seimei pointed to the wanted poster and said: "You see, although the princes of the Central Plains are at odds with each other internally, they are in the same spirit externally. If you offend any one of them, you will offend all the forces. "

　　Yamata no Orochi: “…”

 For Kyushu Island, his second hometown where he had lived in seclusion for many years, Yamata no Orochi felt that he could not stay there for even a moment.

Too dangerous.

“If you want to swim back to Honshu from the Kanmon Strait, I advise you not to throw yourself into a trap.”

Hearing what Abe Seimei said, Yamata no Orochi was extremely puzzled. Then Abe Seimei told the Yamata no Orochi exactly what happened there, where Zhao Yunzeng had captured Motoharu alive.

After Yamata no Orochi heard this, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. According to what Abe Seimei said, Zhao Yun was probably waiting for him in the Kanmon Strait at this time. If he went there, he would have fallen into a trap.

“What should we do? Is there any other way to leave Kyushu?” Yamata no Orochi asked anxiously.

 “Of course there is, otherwise how would I get here.”

 …

Zhao Yun waited for three days in the Kanmon Strait, but still did not wait for Yamata-no-Orochi to come. He immediately realized that he might not come.

Although Zhao Yun didn't know how Yamata no Orochi would leave Kyushu, it was not a problem for him to just wait, so he asked Xiahou Yuan to continue the wanted hunt, and then returned to Higo alone. After all, the day of the expedition to Honshu was not far away.

“Yama no Orochi, the next time we meet, it will be your death.” Zhao Yun said to himself.

 After this period of offensive, the entire Kyushu Island has been occupied by the Japanese Allied Forces.

Before the war, the total population of Kyushu Island was about 130 people, but now there are only more than 800,000 people left.

 Nearly half a million people died tragically in this battle.

This is because most of the cities surrendered voluntarily, otherwise the total population of Kyushu would probably be even less.

Except for a few cities that resisted stubbornly, most cities chose to surrender, which also allowed the coalition forces to surrender a large number of Japanese troops.

Including the previous prisoners, the total number of surrendered troops of the coalition now is probably close to hundreds of thousands, which is almost catching up with the total strength.

 When the time comes to officially attack Honshu, these hundreds of thousands of Japanese surrendered troops will be the best cannon fodder for the coalition forces, and they will accompany the coalition forces to conquer Honshu.

"Everyone, Kyushu has become stable now. It can be used as the base of our army in the Japanese country. Next, we can confidently and boldly conquer this state and occupy those gold and silver mountains." Zhou Yu said with a smile on his face. He did not expect this. The success.

The servility of ordinary Japanese people is much deeper than that of the people in the Central Plains. As long as they are given a mouthful of food, they will not resist the rule of Qin.

On the contrary, those elites are extremely resistant to the rule of Qin. However, they now have no money, no food, no soldiers, no power, no one, and with the comfort of Tachibana Michyuki and Otomo Sorin, they neither dare nor have the ability. Resist the rule of Qin.

"The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu also stabilized their respective territories and sent news. Five days later, the four kingdoms sent troops to attack Honshu Island."

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Wu Qi, who was almost recovered from his injuries, stood up and asked: "Grand Governor, when attacking this state, should the four-nation coalition forces join forces together, or should they fight separately?"

“If the four countries join forces together, the army’s combat power will be stronger, but its attack efficiency will be lower, so the three countries will tend to attack each other.”

Zhou Yu sneered. Of course, he was clear about the Three Kingdoms' little thoughts. He just wanted to grab more loot by not acting with the Qin army, but this was exactly what he wanted.

Before Zhou Yu went on the expedition, he had already learned from Ying Hao about the approximate locations of Iwami Silver Mountain, Sado Gold Mountain and Kai Gold Mine. If he acted together with the Three Kingdoms, it would be detrimental to Da Qin's monopoly on these three largest gold and silver mountains. .

“This time to attack Honshu, 40,000 troops will be dispatched, as well as 40,000 Japanese surrender troops, and the remaining troops will be responsible for staying in Kyushu and staying in the rear.”

At this point, Zhou Yu's eyes fell on Xu Huang and ordered: "Xu Huang, you will command an army of 10,000 people and surrender 10,000 troops. Landing from Ishijian Kingdom, you will be responsible for attacking Ishijian, Anyi, Izumo, The land of Zhoufang, Nagato and Bingo."

 “Nuo.” Xu Huang loudly accepted the order.

Although Xu Huang only had 20,000 troops in his hands, 10,000 of them surrendered. However, most of the six western countries he conquered were the base of the Maori family, and Maori Yuanchun had already surrendered.

Although the Mouri family has now appointed Motoharu Motoharu's younger brother, Motoki Motoki, as the fourth new daimyo, with Motoharu Motoharu around, he will definitely be able to recruit a large number of surrenderers, so it won't be too difficult to attack the Maori family. An army of 20,000 is sufficient. That’s it.

  This battle was yesterday, and there is another chapter today, which will be released in the afternoon or evening
