Chapter 2935 Yagyu Sandog and Himura Kenshin

Chapter 2931 Yagyu Sandog and Himura Kenshin

The former governor of Qin Zheng did well, not only because of his strong enough ability, but also largely because of the strength of his teammates.

For example, when he was the governor of Jingzhou, his partner was Yue Fei. When not fighting, the two had a clear division of labor, one for civil and one for military. During the war, the two of them cooperated with each other tacitly, one for offense and one for defense. The two of them teamed up to even Liu Xiu. Liu Ji Lianhe is not afraid.

As for when Qin Zheng was the governor of Yongzhou, although the area under his jurisdiction was only one and a half counties, Li Tang was beaten to half a disability by Ying Hao, and the chief governor was the more powerful Li Jing.

In this situation where Li Tang was declining and being targeted, no matter how strong Li Shimin's personal ability was, he could only survive. Although he could still jump up and down from time to time, he could not break through Qin Zheng's blockade.

But the situation in Yingzhou is completely different.

It's not that Wang Jian, a teammate, is not as good as Yue Fei and Li Jing, but Da Qin is fighting alone in Yingzhou, almost surrounded by enemies. At the same time, the local Qin army is still deep in the Central Plains battlefield and cannot provide support in the short term.

Under such extremely bad circumstances, it was undoubtedly a great test for Qin Zheng and Wang Jian.

Wang Jian is naturally very reliable, but due to Wang Mang's interference, Yingzhou was divided into two battlefields: Honzhou and Jiuzhou. He and Qin Zheng were no longer on the same battlefield.

Wang Jian is on the battlefield in Honshu, while Qin Zheng is on the battlefield in Jiuzhou, so Wang Jian naturally cannot help Qin Zheng, and Qin Zheng needs to deal with it alone in Jiuzhou.

Since there is no Wang Jian, it would be fine to have other powerful helpers, but Qin Zheng looked at the generals in the hall and found that there were only six generals in Qin: Ying Qian, Ying Si, Ying Shixi, Zi Cheying, Feng Jie, and Ren Bi. .

Among them, the son Chaying was injured by Yeon Gaesumun and could not go back to the battlefield until the injury recovered;

On the contrary, there are more local generals in Yingzhou than Qin generals. In addition to Tachibana Michiyuki, Shimazu Tokuhisa, Shimazu Tadashi, and Ashina Isshin, there are also: Nabeshima Naoshige, Tame Gentada, Honda Masanobu, and Katakura Ko Twenty-six generals including Juro, Shigehide Suzuki, Keiji Maeda, Masakei Yamagata, Koshige Mori, Ishimune Kakuma, Yoshitsugi Otani, Genichiro Ashina;

Among them: Naoshima Naoshima, Tame Gentada, Honda Masanobu, and Katakura Kojuro. These four people with intelligence over 90 have all become counselors of the Qin government;

Tachibana Michyuki, Suzuki Shigehide, Maeda Keiji, and Ashina Genichiro, these four are all **** generals with over 100 martial arts points, and Ashina Isshin is the peak **** general with a base strength of 104;

In fact, Meng Yi, who was originally at Jiwu 103, was also transferred to Qin Zheng by Wang Jian. After all, he also knew how powerful Yeon Gaisu Wen was. However, before Meng Yi could reach Kyushu, a large-scale rebellion broke out in the four countries.

If the entire Shikoku Island fell, both Kyushu and Honshu would be threatened, so Wang Jian urgently dispatched Meng Yi to support the Shikoku Island, so that the entire Shikoku Island did not fall.

In fact, just looking at the lineup of generals, Qin Zheng has not only the peak **** general Ashina Isshin, but also the high-level **** general Ren Bi, as well as Ying Qian, Ying Shixi, Hanamou Yuki, Suzuki Shigehide, Maeda Keiji, Ashina With the six great generals like Genichiro, such a general lineup is definitely not weak.

But compared with Wang Mang's side, not only the quantity of high-level combat power is much worse, but also the overall quality is also much worse.

If Qin Zheng hadn't used a trick to severely damage Yuengai Suwen, making Wang Mang's first combat force unable to fight, the gap between the two armies would have widened further.

"Your Majesty, the Governor, Abe Yuyo and Abe Yasichika of the Abe family have agreed to serve our Great Qin. They have now gone to Wang Jian's army to serve as guards." Yagyu Tajima Mamoru said respectfully.

Both Abe Yuyo and Abe Yasuchika are descendants of Abe Seimei. They are also the most famous onmyoji in Japan during the Heian period. Among them, Abe Yasuchika was also one of the originators of the later Tsuchimikado family.

Even the great grandmaster Seimei of the Abe family surrendered to the Great Qin, let alone the two grandmasters Youse and Taiqin. However, the two had not joined the Great Qin before, and the Great Qin was powerful in Yingzhou at the time, so naturally they would not care. There are two masters, so I don't care about these two people.

But now the situation is different. With the outbreak of the Central Plains War, Great Qin's main energy is focused on dealing with the four kingdoms of Wei, Song, Ming, and Sui. It has transferred back many masters such as Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Long Yang, Mi Houwang, and Long Yang. The Central Plains has put Yingzhou into a situation where high-end combat power is insufficient, so at this time, even grandmaster combat power is rare and valuable.

Hearing Yagyu Taimashou's words, Qin Zheng couldn't help but frown slightly and asked: "What about my bodyguard? Are you the only one, Mr. Yagyu?"

The reason why Qin Zheng did not personally participate in the battle of Renji City was that he was worried that he would be assassinated by the enemy's grand master after learning that the enemy had the strength of a grand master.

In fact, Qin Zheng also knew in his heart that the probability of the opponent's grand master directly assassinating him was not high. After all, this would not do them any good except forcing Da Qin to overturn the table.

Although the probability is low, it is still possible after all. What if the enemy's grand master has a bad mind and is a lunatic?

Qin Zheng didn't want to pin his life or death on others, so he naturally tried his best to avoid the possibility of assassination. However, domestic support did not arrive so quickly, so he could only recruit experts on the spot in Yingzhou.

It happened that the Abe family still had two masters of Jaya, so Qin Zheng sent Yagyu Taimamomo to recruit them, but he didn't expect that both of them were summoned by Wang Jian as bodyguards, and none of them were left for him.

After hearing Qin Zheng's words, Yagyu Tajima Mamoru, who was in the middle stage of the Grand Master, smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. In addition to me, there will naturally be a Grand Master who will act as your bodyguard."

"Are they the other two who are known as Yagyu's three-day dogs?" Qin Zheng asked with a frown.

Although "dog" is not a good word in Chinese, it represents loyalty in Japan and is a proper compliment. The Yagyu Three-Day Dog refers to Yagyu Munen, Yagyu Munenki, and Yagyu Jubei.

Yagyu Munegen was the disciple of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna. He had learned the Shinto-ryu and Nakajo-ryu swordsmanship. Later, he became the disciple of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and learned the Shinin-ryu swordsmanship. In the end, he mainly focused on the Shinin-ryu swordsmanship and joined the other two swordsmanships. The swordsmanship skills of this school created the largest tributary of the Shinin-ryu: Yagyu Shinin-ryu.

Yagyu Munenomi is the son of Yagyu Munen, and he is actually Yagyu Taimamomoru. It’s just that the historical figure Yagyu Munenomi merged with Yagyu Tajimamoru in "Tenka no 1", and now Yagyu has the potential to catch up with his father. Taimamomo.

As for Yagyu Jubei, he is the son of Yagyu Munenomi, and like his father, he is a fusion of Yagyu Jubei from "Tenka No. 1", and his potential is also greatly increased because of this. Although the Yagyu family is very loyal to the Qin Dynasty now, before the fall of Japan, the resistance was quite strong. The head of the family, Yagyu Soen, led his children and followed their master Nobutsuna Kamiizumi to fight to the death, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries among the family members. .

In the end, after Yagyu Sogan and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna were captured, Yagyu Taimamoru succeeded as the head of the family and led his people to surrender to the Qin Dynasty, thus avoiding the fate of annihilation.

As for Yagyu Muneyan, he would not surrender if his master Nobutsuna Kamizumi did not surrender. However, because of the Yagyu family, Da Qin did not make him a slave, but imprisoned him.

It was not until Kamiizumi Nobutsuna was subdued by Nong Yu that Yagyu Munegen completely surrendered. However, due to the tragic deaths of many relatives, he was still unwilling to serve the Great Qin. However, he also swore that he would never be the enemy of the Great Qin again, so he was released. .

After Yagyu Zongyan saw his son defecting to the Qin Dynasty, he not only kept the Yagyu family in good order, but also became one of the leaders of Yingzhou Black Ice Terrace.

With his tough character, it was naturally impossible for him to compete with his son for the throne, and he believed that it was himself that caused the Yagyu family to suffer such a disaster, so he had no shame in staying in the clan, so he simply crossed east to the Central Plains and went to join his master. Izumi Nobutsuna.

Nongyu never expected that by subduing Nobutsuna Uizumi, she would also be accompanied by Yagyu Sogan and two master-level swordsmen as her bodyguards, protecting her every step of the way. Even his husband Chiyou was there. There is no such treatment.

"Isn't it Master Yagyu Jubei?"

Qin Zheng asked again. He naturally knew that Yagyu Sogan went to Nanman, and since it was not Yagyu Soyan, it could only be Yagyu Jubei. After all, these were the three masters of the Yagyu family.

Yagyu Jubei has the cultivation level of an early master, but his strength may not be as strong as Qin Zhengqiang.

Although Qin Zheng's strength is still in the early stage of being a master, his technique is the Ancestral Dragon Technique, and his swordsmanship and spear skills are also among the best in the world. However, his enemy experience is slightly worse than that of Yagyu Jubei, so Yagyu Jubei Wei Huazhen may not be Qin Zheng's opponent.

It is impossible for Qin Zheng to let someone who is not as powerful as himself be a guard. If something happens, it is not necessarily who will protect whom, and he will not leave such hidden dangers to himself.

"My lord has misunderstood. Jubei is still under orders to gather information. Even if he wants to protect your lord, he is unable to do anything at all. The person next to you who is your **** is the famous swordsman Kawakami Hikosai." Yagyu Tajima Mamoru explained.

Qin Zheng was overjoyed when he heard the name, because Kawagami Hikosai was a hero as famous as Ashina Isshin.

Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance, let alone Yingzhou, where martial arts is extremely popular. Wei Ming is not the only knight who resisted the tyranny of the Han people, but there are only a handful of people who can escape the pursuit of the five kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song, Ming, and Wu. Countless of them include Kawakami Hikosai, and he has become as famous a hero as Ashina Isshin.

Kawakami Hikosai was a loyalist who respected the king and fought against the barbarians during the Meiji period. He was one of the four assassins at the end of the Tokugawa period. He once assassinated the famous founding thinker Sakuma Shozan. After the Meiji Restoration, he continued to oppose the founding of the country and was executed. He is also the protagonist of "Rurouni Kenshin". The prototype of Kenshin.

Since Qin Zheng had conquered Ashina Isshin, he naturally also wanted to conquer Kawakami Hikosai, who was as famous as him, but he had never had the chance. Unexpectedly, he was now persuaded by Yagyu Taimamomoru.

"Where is Mr. Heshang? I want to meet him personally." Qin Zheng said happily.

"Right outside the door."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng ran out immediately and saw Kawagami Hikosai dressed as a warrior.

"Mr. Kawakami, I have long admired your name."

Qin Zheng grabbed Heshang Yanzhai with enthusiasm, and then led him into the hall.

Heshang Yanzhai was also surprised by Qin Zheng's courteous and virtuous corporal. He immediately came to sit down and lowered his head and said: "See the governor, I was an enemy of Qin before. Now I have repented. Please forgive me."

Although Wei Mingyixin killed many Han people, he never killed anyone from the Qin Dynasty. Heshang Yanzhai's hands were stained with the blood of officials from the Qin Dynasty, but his status was not high.

Qin Zheng knew that Heshang Yanzhai had killed Qin officials, but that kind of low-level official, and also a corrupt official, would naturally not be taken seriously by him.

Sacrificing these worms that beat you up in exchange for the allegiance of late master masters like Heshang Yanzhai, Qin Zheng only felt that the death of these people was really worth it.

"It doesn't have to be this way, Mr. Kawakami."

Qin Zheng immediately helped Heshang Yanzhai up and said at the same time: "The people you killed are all the people who deserve to be killed. If you don't kill them, I will kill them when I find out. If you kill them, it will save me trouble, so why not There is reason to blame.”

Hearing what Qin Zheng said, Heshang Yanzhai was moved and at the same time completely relieved. He then saluted and said: "Your Excellency, if you can ignore the past grudges and have no retribution for me, I will sacrifice my life to serve you."

Qin Zheng's face changed when he heard this. He glanced at the expressionless Yagyu Tajima Shouhou and said with a smile: "I don't need you to sacrifice your life to serve, sir. I just need you to live to serve the Great Qin and do your best." Just do your part.”

Heshang Yanzhai was startled, then nodded and said: "No."

"By the way, sir, I have changed my name to Himura Kenshin. From now on, you can call me Himura or Kenshin. It is better not to call me Kawagami Hikosai anymore."

Yes, Kawakami Hikosai, like Yagyu Munenomi and Yagyu Jubei, also integrated another self, and he is also the protagonist of "Rurouni Kenshin", Himura Kenshin.
