Chapter 156
Of course, what Uesugi Kenshin said was not serious.
If the governor of the Uesugi family was such a joke, he would not be able to become a famous general who can be compared with Takeda Shingen.But in his opinion, neither Oda Nobunaga nor Takeda Katsuyori is the person he wants to help, especially for Uesugi Kenshin who once became a monk, it is not right for him to commit evil deeds such as burning Buddhist temples. Oda Nobunaga, who has the trend of exterminating all the monks of the Ichizong sect, arouses his resentment even more.
It's just that the current situation cannot be changed by his own will.Even if Uesugi Kenshin does have a strong military strength, he is not willing to stir up the whole troubled world into a deeper muddy water because of a momentary emotional bias.After learning the information about Zhizhi City, all he has to do is to judge whether it is more beneficial for the world that is already in chaos now to stand by and meddle.
What Takeda Katsuyori lacks is only prestige, and this attack on Akechi Castle is precisely for the purpose of making up for his own prestige-Takeda Shingen skipped his own parent and son Katsuyori, and passed the position of family governor to Katsuyori's son Nobukatsu. It is justifiable, but it is a great contempt for Takeda Katsuyori himself.The morale of the Takeda army is supported by Sanada Yutaka, and Takeda Katsuyori himself is also very talented. In contrast, the Oda family who just won Omi and Echizen, and even Echizen was out of control because of Ikki, really lacks confidence.
But Oda Nobunaga implemented the policy of separation of soldiers and peasants, but the Takeda family did not.If the two sides can continue in such a stalemate, Nobunaga Oda will suffer little loss, but the Takeda army may miss the spring plowing, resulting in a reduction in grain production in the territory.
Which side do you want to lean towards?
When sitting alone in the room before, Uesugi Kenshin really seriously considered the strength of both sides.
In the long run, Hojo and Takeda still maintain an alliance. However, since the Sangahara War, Tokugawa has not been wiped out by Takeda Shingen in one go, so that now it has regained its vitality and regained the territory previously taken by Takeda Shingen. Part of it came back.The alliance between Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa has not yet been broken, so the two parties joined forces to block the road leading to Kinai by the Takeda army-from this point of view, it is not wrong to call it the anti-Takeda encirclement network.As long as Takeda Katsuyori fails to defeat Oda before Yukitaka Sanada dies, the Oda family will have the upper hand in the next fight.
But if you only look at the present, Oda's overall strength is slightly weaker than Takeda.Once Akechi-jo Castle fails to resist and allows Takeda Army Commander to drive straight in and point directly at Gifu, the Oda family will undoubtedly lose. Takeda can open the way to Kyoto by capturing Mino, and fulfill Takeda Shingen's unfulfilled last wish.
If you look at it this way, it is still...
Going to help Oda Nobunaga.
Uesugi Kenshin was almost disappointed when he came to this conclusion.
When Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked him to go to Luo, he was already moved, but because of the failure of the crusade against Hojo and the failure of Usui Castle to conquer twice, the power of the Uesugi family in Kanto gradually shrank, so he had to give up assisting Ashikaga Yoshiaki Shangluo's thoughts.Therefore, when Oda Nobunaga finally helped Ashikaga Yoshiaki Shangluo become a general, Uesugi Kenshin breathed a sigh of relief—until he saw that Oda Nobunaga did not have the sincerity to help the country, "the world is clothed with martial arts" The slogan is just a big banner pulled out for this man's ambition.
People who dare to attack even monks, what else can they not do?
It's just that if you don't contain Takeda Katsuyori at this time, and wait for Takeda Katsuyori to grasp the power of the Takeda family, the world that is already at war will continue to indulge in boundless chaos because of Takeda's ambitions, and the Takeda family has always been fighting against each other. The Uesugi family, it will be very difficult to deal with the Takeda who has swallowed the Oda family and has greatly increased in strength.If you support Oda, at least you can win a short respite for this troubled world. For a period of time before Sanada Yutaka died, Oda and Takeda had to maintain an equal posture.
Oda Nobunaga's strength has risen too fast, and the lack of foundation is an inevitable result. It is probably the limit of this man to be able to compete in the world now.Even if the balance between Oda and Takeda is finally destroyed, and Oda Nobunaga is lucky enough to have the upper hand, at that time, his Uesugi family can give the Oda family a heavy blow.
Uesugi Kenshin originally did not believe in destiny.
He has heard of several coincidences with Oda Nobunaga, but he has always held a cautious wait-and-see attitude.It wasn't until this moment that he chose to help Oda that he felt sincerely that Oda Nobunaga was a very lucky man—because no matter in terms of the future of the Uesugi family or the current overall situation, he turned out to be a non-help weaver Tian Nobunaga can't!
This made Uesugi Kenshin couldn't help feeling a subtle sense of unease.It's just that as the governor of the Uesugi family, he judges things rationally in most cases, and quickly puts this ominous feeling that heralds his fate behind him.
Uesugi Kenshin's entanglement is not something that the Five Tigers can see.Although the five tigers retreat is Fusangshen, and he has been with Uesugi Kenshin for a long time, and the body "five tigers retreat" is also stored in Uesugi's family in later generations, but he is still an existence that was born not long ago.The only thing that can prove that he has experienced hundreds of years is not his ability to perceive words and emotions, but a clear and unshakable heart.
Therefore, regarding Uesugi Kenshin's joking proposal, he just tilted his head hesitantly, and with a childlike and innocent smile on his plain white face, which was no weaker than Xue's, he replied without doubt: "Yes! I , I will defeat Master Jing Hu! Not only for the sake of the lord, but also... I want Master Jing Hu to see my ability."
He answered so easily that Uesugi Kenshin, who originally just wanted to tease this innocent child, was a little lost.He stretched out his hand amusedly, snapped his middle finger on Wu Hutui's forehead, and smiled under Wuhutui's bewildered and unbelievable eyes: "I can't answer like this in the future. As a ninja, I made such offensive words." , It’s not a strange thing to be beheaded. Also—even though I’m old, I’m not something a kid like you can easily overcome. Do you have so much confidence in yourself?”
Uesugi Kenshin is only 44 years old now. From the perspective of a general, he is already a veteran, but his physical fitness has not declined much, and he has become more difficult because of his rich combat experience.Unlike Saburo, who came to this era halfway, and Akechi Mitsuhide, who was sick since childhood, Uesugi Kenshin can be said to be both civil and military. In addition to his ability to lead soldiers, he himself is also very strong in force, but his military talent is too great. So outstanding that his personal swordsmanship is not well-known.
In contrast, although the status of the five tigers retreating ninja has been acquiesced, but the small arms and legs are not half as big as Uesugi Kenshin.If he could use his body, he would probably be able to take advantage of his agility by virtue of his weapon and petite figure. However, due to the difference in status between the two, the body of the Five Tigers was taken away when they met Kenshin Uesugi. After that, it was never returned to him, and it has been kept in the hands of the ninjas of the Uesugi family. Without a suitable weapon, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Five Tigers want to defeat Kenshin Uesugi.
But Five Tigers Tui himself seemed completely unaware of this extreme disadvantage.He raised his hand in a daze, and stroked the forehead that was blushed by Uesugi Kenshin, and his tone contained the confidence that Uesugi Kenshin thought was due to ignorance: "No, can't you?"
"Okay." Uesugi Kenshin didn't tease him anymore, and the corners of his brows and eyes jumped out in a relaxed and happy arc, "It's a pity to be a ninja with such ambition."
He only said this as a final response to the five tigers' confidence, and then asked the maid to fetch two wooden knives.Taking into account the figure of the five tigers and the weapon they held when they first met, the one that was given to Shirato was a wooden dagger similar in length to the "five tigers", while the one given to Uesugi Kenshin was the same as his usual one. A wooden Taichi with the same length.
The difference in length has aggravated the disadvantage of the five tigers retreating.
Weakness in the eyes of others is nothing to Fu Sangshen's Five Tigers Tui.At this moment, he was still wearing a uniform that was too strange for this era. His pale skin was exposed to the test of the cold weather, but he still stood upright, without even shaking physically.After waving the wooden knife a little to find the feel, he looked up at Kenshin Uesugi—seeing the eager and admiring look in his animal-like yellow eyes, Kenshin Uesugi couldn't help but nodded slightly.
With the permission to attack, the faces of the five tigers retreated were filled with excitement.Those animal pupils should have shown a beast-like cold-blooded gaze under his high fighting spirit, but unexpectedly they are still so gentle that it makes people feel unbelievable, just like the five little pets beside him who are obviously tiger cubs but look like cats Same, no danger at all.
He bent his knees to accumulate strength, and then kicked his thin legs back, and his body jumped out instantly. When he landed, he stepped on his toes, and his body jumped forward again, which looked no heavier than a snowflake.Toujian Fusangshen's agility far surpassed that of ordinary people was completely exposed under the unintentional concealment of the white-haired short sword. In the blink of an eye, the five tigers retreated across a distance of several meters and swung the sword towards Uesugi Kenshin!
In the same blink of an eye, Uesugi Kenshin, who was holding the wooden knife with a relaxed expression, put it on his left side as if putting the knife into its sheath, his eyes sharpened. The gauntlet on the finger immediately became a little hot from the friction.It was obviously a wooden blade, but when he pulled it out, it looked like a real sharp sword, and even the sound of breaking the air was extremely penetrating!
Iai!
Even though he appreciated Wuhu Tui, he was also confused by the thin body of the white-haired dagger, and he had no intention of holding back. The beginning of the move was to draw the sword instantly and kill the enemy in front of him!
The wooden Taidao and the short sword collided, and after meeting each other, they made an unusually loud noise, which sounded like they were overwhelmed.The five tigers retreated by nature, and it was even more impossible for them to kill Uesugi Kenshin who they valued. Therefore, the point of the knife fell on Uesugi Kenshin's shoulders, but he didn't expect that Uesugi Kenshin would stay where he was, but he would cut him with a knife. The wooden Taidao drew a semicircle, met the leaping Five Tigers at the highest point, and forced the short sword Fusangshen to retreat out of the Taidao's attack range.
In terms of reaction speed alone, Uesugi Kenshin has already surpassed most people in the world.
Even if they missed a single hit, the Five Tigers were not discouraged when they retreated.Relying on the reaction force of the point of the knife, he fell to a later place, only three or four steps away from Uesugi Kenshin.The moment he landed on the ground, he held the knife forward, saw Kenshin Uesugi's blade stabbing towards him quickly and accurately, and held the short knife vertically with his backhand, almost sticking to his other arm, with a slight edge to the side of his body. With an imperceptible swipe, he brushed against Uesugi Kenshin's Taidao precisely and dangerously. The short blade of the short sword came into contact with the blunted edge of the Taidao, and slid down along the blade with a whirring sound, intending to hit Uesugi Kenshin's wrist with momentum!
This is something that only Token Fusangshin can do.
Not to mention children, even a normal male would not choose this method of confronting the enemy, just because of insufficient strength, it is difficult to stabilize the blade itself.Once the strength is lost to the opponent, it is not only possible that the upper body will be cut off by the opponent's change of hand, but also because the knife that is resisted will be suppressed by the opponent, which in turn will stab yourself.
Even if the victory in strength can be guaranteed, it is difficult to quickly change hands to attack after getting close.The Five Tigers should have used the two-handed sword method—blocking with a threat and then attacking with a sword. However, due to Token Fusangshin's terrible physical fitness and the fact that he had to fight against the time retrograde army in the Oda family, The one-to-many battle experience finally brewed a dizzying way of changing moves.
Uesugi Kenshin's expression remained the same - if he was distracted at this time, he could directly face the defeat, but when he recalled these after the battle, he couldn't help feeling that the Five Tigers retreat at this time really had the superiority of "ninja" skill.
It's just that the tactics are still too aboveboard.
At this time, the Uesugi Family Governor, who was devoted to the battle, did not panic, his wrist sank, and the five tigers' retreating momentum disappeared in smoke.
Once close, the person using the Taidao is more restrained, but his moves are still as natural as flowing clouds and flowing water.After suppressing the five tigers to retreat, he didn't even have the tendency to withdraw his knife, and even directly took advantage of his current position to slap the five tigers back on the arm!
If it was a real sword, it would probably be able to retreat the five tigers by two stages.
The short-knife boy's eyes are still animal pupils similar to his cubs, and the expression inside is still as docile as a deer.When he raised his sword against his former master, his demeanor was still full of trust.At this moment, he didn't hesitate at all, the boy's short body suddenly squatted down, and Uesugi Kenshin missed it, but Uesugi Kenshin has practiced kendo for many years, and the blade stopped firmly when it failed to hit. The original position was lost, and there was no more progress.
As a result, the five tigers retreated to use Uesugi Kenshin to attack the gap in his abdomen when he swung the air, but this plan came to naught. He could only retreat to the side when the Taidao was naturally pressed down, looking for a suitable attack opportunity.
"You can't say you want to beat me like that." Uesugi Kenshin resisted the attack of the five tigers, and took the initiative in his own hands, finally having time to speak.
He said with a tolerant smile.
"Show me more skills, back."
I originally planned to write three thousand words, but because the battle cannot end so sloppily, it became four thousand words...
I don't know if Uesugi Kenshin is good at using swords, so this is also a private setting.I read that Baidu said that if it is kendo, Kenshin Uesugi should have learned the Xinyin style or the Wo style, but I really don't know what moves the Xinyin style has...that's all nonsense.Juhe existed in the early days of Heian, and I am right about that.
The statement about the Takeda siege network was seen from the Baidu entry.But I looked at the map at that time. At that time, Hojo was still in an alliance with Takeda. If he had not hooked up with Oda at that time, it could only be regarded as Oda and Tokugawa cut off Takeda's way forward, showing a A semi-enclosed state.
And the analysis of the battle situation this time was all made up by me.
