I'm the best catcher in martial arts

"It failed. What did you say? How could it be defeated so quickly? How much loss did the people of the Central Plains suffer?"

The Emperor of Japan turned over the desk in front of him.

The messenger said timidly: "The Central Plains people have landed and occupied the surrounding land. They seem to be waiting for the next group of troops and then continue to attack."

"It seems! It seems! It seems! I give you so much money every year, but you dare to say it seems!"

The Emperor of Japan was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table, but the desk had already been overturned, so he could only throw out the memorial at hand and hit the messenger's head so hard that his head was bloody.

How can messenger soldiers be the ones to decide whether to march, fight, or collect intelligence? He just came to deliver a message.

It's just that at this time, he can only kneel on the ground and admit that he is unlucky. If he is hit, it is considered good luck. If he is unlucky, he will have been pushed out and chopped.

This kind of thing is the same everywhere!

Lao Zhu did this kind of thing a lot back then!

"roll!"

The Emperor of Japan drove the people away angrily.

The messenger hurriedly ran away, thinking that he would become a monk after leaving the palace, eat fasting and chant Buddha's name in this life, and no longer care about the affairs of the world. He only hoped to live for two more years.

Japanese Buddhism is ten times more lax than Central Plains Buddhism in some aspects, especially in terms of precepts.

For example, they can get married and have children.

Some temples in Japan are actually hereditary.

To be a monk in the Central Plains, according to the precepts, you need to eat fast and chant Buddha's name, wear commoner clothes and monk shoes, and be pure and abstain from desires. Japan does not have these precepts and is very loose in this regard.

As for the monks who don’t keep the precepts…

You already don’t abide by the rules and precepts. What difference does it make where you become a monk? They are all evil!

The Emperor of Japan sighed, a treacherous and cunning light flashed in his eyes, and he was not that angry.

Not only is he not angry, he is even a little happy.

The situation in Japan and Central China is different.

The Central Plains was unified more than 20 years ago and rested for more than 20 years. The heroes of Japan have risen together. Many outstanding people are fighting on their own. The emperor cannot control everything.

Now that the Ming Dynasty's army has arrived, whether it is to protect their territory or for profit, the aristocratic families from all over Japan have gathered in the court and sent their family's elite forces to unite and cooperate to resist the Ming army.

This is the emperor's best chance.

He wanted to use a tragic defeat to make those watching stop taking chances and obediently hand over their troops.

He wants to use the huge meat grinder of war to destroy the family that disobeys him and kill people with borrowed knives.

As for the Ming army...

There are really too few of them to occupy the entire territory of Japan. Even if they can occupy it, who will be in charge of Japan with such a large sea area between the two sides?

The emperor of the Central Plains is not afraid of his subordinates supporting their troops and respecting themselves?

According to the analysis of the Emperor of Japan, the Ming army mostly took the opportunity to cause trouble and forced Japan to surrender. They paid tribute every year and became vassals year after year, occupying at most one island.

The Emperor of Japan doesn't care about this.

He even looked forward to this and wanted to use this as an excuse to send envoys to learn from the advanced culture of the Ming Dynasty.

Letting Japanese ninjas steal or letting merchants buy books quietly is too slow, and without the guidance of a master, it is difficult to learn the essence of culture.

If only the literati of Ming Dynasty could teach...

Wait!

Sooner or later you will regret it!

The Emperor of Japan waved his sleeves, and all the lights in the palace were extinguished, plunging into darkness.

Under the dim moonlight, the palace seemed to be a ferocious beast that chose people to eat, giving people endless chills.

…

"laugh!"

Shen Lian used his spear to pierce through the samurai of a certain family, beat back the Japanese allied forces, and asked people to count the casualties.

When he returned to the military tent, Tang Shunzhi was looking through the information and heard Shen Lian's footsteps. Without even raising his eyelids, he waved for Shen Lian to sit down.

"Old Tang, whose soldiers are here this time?"

"Mainly warriors from the Fujiwara family."

"Fujiwara family?"

Shen Lian was a little surprised.

"No, if it's the Fujiwara family, why are they so weak? It's like they're here to die."

Tang Shunzhi nodded: "You're right, these people are here to die, you should understand."

Shen Lian smiled and said: "Not only do you kill people with a borrowed knife, but you can also use it to consume our ammunition and arrows. Our supply line is too long and cannot withstand long-term losses.

When our division's veterans are exhausted, the Emperor of Japan takes the opportunity to launch a counterattack. Not only can he repel us, but he can also eliminate the famous names in various places, and use the prestige of protecting the country to firmly control Japan. This is the best expectation.

Even if we are not beaten back, as long as the elite soldiers in the hands of the daimyo are destroyed by us, he will be able to take the opportunity to occupy more territory and his power will be even greater.

The next step is to kneel down and profess your vassalship, and slowly figure it out.

No matter whether he wins or loses, he doesn't seem to suffer any loss.

The worst case scenario is complete defeat.

At that time, the strategy has lost its meaning, no matter how you calculate it, it is useless, it is better to go crazy once!

——Bet everything you have!

——Bet on how far we can go! "

Tang Shunzhi handed a piece of information to Shen Lian: "This is the most valuable part I found after analyzing the information sent by Jin Yiwei. I agree with your idea. The emperor of Japan is very, very good at forbearance."

"How far do you think he can endure it?"

"There are four large islands in Japan. If we succeed in occupying one, he will be very anxious. If we occupy two, he will be unable to bear it."

"I think he can handle it."

"Don't talk about this, Old Shen, if Miyamoto Musashi comes to attack, can you stop him? Miyamoto Musashi is not only a samurai, but also a superb ninja. This guy has no dignity as a master, and he likes to fight in devious ways."

A figure like Miyamoto Musashi is by no means a rough warrior wielding a katana and slashing wildly, but a famous Japanese military strategist who is both a weapon and a master of war.

According to Jin Yiwei's information, he wrote works such as "Preface to the Way of the Five Directions", "Book of Five Rings", "Thirty-five Solid Articles of the Art of War", and "Mirror of the Way of War".

There are descriptions of various weapons, including detailed discussions on how to use katana swords, spears, and spears, as well as military strategies and tactics, discussing how to march and fight. For this kind of character, the art of weapons and war are inseparable.

When Miyamoto Musashi makes a fight with someone, he never insists on a fair fight, but makes full use of his advantages.

If possible, he hoped to arrange an open duel venue in advance, and then fire thousands of arrows to shoot the enemy into a hedgehog, or drive a chariot to trample the enemy to death.

In fact, Shen Lian is also very willing.

It's just that the weapon Shen Lian is looking forward to is a missile.

If you don’t have missiles, let’s use fists and halberds!

Regarding the Japanese martial arts masters, Shen Lian had already had many assumptions, and he immediately said: "Unless all the masters in Japan swarm up, I can defeat them even if there are only three or five, or even three or five families."

"Currently, four families want to surrender, and two families have submitted letters of surrender. Should I accept it?"

"Uh... military and national affairs are not something that a rough and reckless man like me can understand. Just think about it slowly and do whatever you want with the power His Majesty gives you."

"Are there any deviant practices?"

Tang Shunzhi is obviously not a pedantic and rigid person.

He wanted to know how unimaginative Shen Lian's mind was and what weird ideas he had.

Shen Lian said with a smile: "I heard that during the Wu Zhou Dynasty, there was an inspector of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, saying that he had the power to inspect the Yangtze River, and then he came..."

"Where?"

"The source of the Yangtze River, Tanggula Pass."

"It's just lucky he didn't get chopped."

The two looked at each other without saying anything.

Many official positions have extremely flexible operational flexibility.

For example, the Jianghuai Inspectorate, in theory, is to inspect the Jianghuai area, such as Yangzhou, Huai'an, Hefei and other towns. If you have to dig deeper, it means that you can inspect the entire Yangtze River, from the Yangtze River Delta all the way to Tanggula Pass, then you have to Depends on luck.

If he can accomplish enough feats and the emperor has enough trust in him, this matter can be over.

If you steal the chicken but lose the rice, and your own cleverness leads to countless disasters, you will definitely not be able to save your head.

This kind of thing is also common.

For example, Di Renjie, a famous minister of Wu Zhou, often jumped around Wu Zetian's psychological bottom line. One day he would recruit an internal guard as a student, and the next day he would adopt a traitor as his niece.

…

Shen Lian never cared about marching or fighting.

Tang Shunzhi was an all-rounder among all-rounders. Whether it was naval warfare, warship attack and defense, land warfare command formation, or surveying the terrain, and drawing maps, there was nothing that Tang Shunzhi couldn't do. Even if he couldn't, he could learn it.

The Japanese Emperor's plan is indeed brilliant, but it cannot be hidden from everyone. Whoever can separate one side is not a famous hero? How can we be led by the Japanese Emperor? Everyone has their own response.

Faced with such powerful enemies as the Ming Dynasty, Japan was uniting vertically and horizontally. Tang Shunzhi laid out his plans wantonly, stirring up troubles in various places and conquering cities and territories without any disadvantage.

The battlefield is unfavorable.

The martial arts world is also unfavorable.

Shen Lian never refuses challenges and defeats as many as they come. There are three heads of the nine major ninja families in Japan who are hung on the flagpole of the gate.

Those Shinto onmyoji masters are good at vicious and evil spiritual arts, and can easily induce the mental impact of all desires and negative emotions. Shen Lian broke through it with a loud roar, causing the tiger's roar to shake the sky, and to slay demons and conquer demons.

Feng Siniang raised her sword to show her power and fought bloody battles one after another.

Rely on high-intensity battles to quickly regain the state you were in when you were wandering around the world and give full play to your potential.

If he were to fight the Shuiyue Sect again, he would be able to win even without the help of Zuo Shi's bow and arrow.

Zuo Shi is the most calm.

Unless the ninja used earth escape to launch a surprise attack, or used the substitution method or the substitution method to escape instantly, Zuo Shi would hardly participate in the battle, and there was nothing to worry about.

What's there to worry about?

Can they break through Shen Lian's absolute defense?

Since the beginning of the war, among so many warriors, no one has been able to make Shen Lian use three moves to activate the King Kong Transformation.

Japanese warriors have a very good advantage, that is, they are not afraid of death. The more they face a powerful enemy, the more they dare to draw their swords and fight them to the death, seeking breakthroughs in battle.

Japanese martial arts does not emphasize the accumulation of knowledge, but emphasizes actual combat, breakthroughs in battle, and killing the enemy with a sword.

Many famous sword gods and sword masters learned the skills of swordsmanship in one fight after another. When they formed a complete system of swordsmanship, they were able to create sects.

Although Shen Lian's killing was fierce, it could not scare away the Japanese warriors, and there was an endless stream of people coming to challenge him.

On this day, Shen Lian was discussing the next march plan with Tang Shunzhi. He wanted to be a vanguard general instead of a grain transport officer. His face turned red with anxiety when suddenly there was a cold and fierce message from outside, and he immediately left the military tent.

Outside the military camp, stood a Japanese warrior.

His clothes are not luxurious, just ordinary coarse linen clothes. His hands and feet are thick and weather-beaten. He does not look like a warrior inherited from his family, but looks like a farmer.

There was a sword hanging from his waist.

The sword was not unsheathed, and the soul-stirring murderous aura was already pounding into his mind, making people feel like there was a river of blood in front of them, with numerous corpses floating on it.

This is an innocent soul who fell by the sword.

Every time a person is killed, the sword becomes sharper and the evil spirit becomes stronger. If the concentration is not strong enough, the moment you hold the scabbard, you will be overwhelmed by the evil spirit.

It stands to reason that such a weapon will not recognize its owner. There are only users from generation to generation. They can use the sword and defeat powerful enemies with the help of the evil spirit of the blade, but they cannot combine man and sword to perfectly control this magic sword.

The old farmer-like warrior in front of him had the demonic sword that had killed countless people obediently surrendered in his hand.

Other warriors are just swordsmen, but the old farmer is the real master of the sword. He has perfect control of the magic sword. He can be as sharp as you want, cut through steel with his sword, be gentle as he is told to be gentle, and cut through willow leaves without damaging them.

He stood quietly in front of the military camp, obviously not using any moves, but the extremely rich murderous aura condensed into an evil ghost, floating in the sky above the military camp.

Master!

A real master!

This person's martial arts skills are by no means flashy. They are all honed step by step in actual combat. He stepped on the corpses of countless Japanese warriors to reach the peak of swordsmanship.

"Send your name."

Shen Lian's eyes flashed with a faint green light, like a tiger that chooses people to devour, and his energy was like the sky hanging upside down.

"Yagyu's sword."

Yagyu Ikken is very calm. He neither pursues superior power nor fame. The reason why he comes to challenge Shen Lian is to compete in martial arts.

He wanted to see the peak of swordsmanship.

He wanted to make the final breakthrough in battle.

Japanese warriors cannot satisfy Yagyu's sword.

Anyone weaker than him can be killed instantly with one knife.

Those who were similar to him would draw their swords and die together.

Those who are stronger than him either live in seclusion in the mountains or forests, or prefer to use devious tactics rather than face-to-face confrontation.

Yagyu's sword is eager for a head-on confrontation. For this reason, he even breaks into the Yagyu family alone, defeats all the masters of the Yagyu family, and changes his surname to "Yagyu".

"Shen Lian, you are an excellent opponent. I hope to have a fair duel with you. If I die under your Tiger Roaring Emperor Fist, it will be my honor. If you are unfortunately killed by me, I will remember it forever. Stay with you."

Yagyu Ikken's tone was stiff, but not arrogant, and he even took the initiative to bow.

"Jun Shen, please take action."

"You just poured out too much murderous intent, and the true energy in your body is depleted, so you can't attack with all your strength. There is a high mountain not far from here. I will wait for you at the top of the mountain tomorrow."

"What time?"

"It's up to you, I'm free all day."

"Jun Shen, thank you very much!"

Yagyu bowed his sword and left quickly.

The spy lurking not far away heard what Shen Lian just said and immediately recorded the information.

——The Ming army will not attack tomorrow!

This is very important information.

If we do not launch an attack tomorrow, it means that we will not attack this afternoon, tomorrow, the whole day, and the morning after tomorrow. During the two days of rest, we can make a lot of preparations.

The spy was worried about being discovered by Shen Lian, so he did not continue to spy on Shen Lian, nor did he leave the place. He endured it for more than two hours and made sure that no one had discovered him. Then he quickly returned and informed his master of the information.

…

"Old Shen, what do you think of ninjas?"

"How damn can I bear it!"

"ah?"

"There are a few stalkers outside. In order to hide their tracks, they pretended to be a fool for three hours."

"How did you know?"

"I watched him for three hours!"

Tang Shunzhi: You are so damn boring!

"Old Shen, how much information did you leak?"

"I told that tough ninja that we won't attack tomorrow until noon the day after tomorrow."

"so what?"

"When marching and fighting, General Tang makes the decision!" (End of Chapter)
