Snowflakes are also falling here at this time, but hundreds of kilometers away in Kyoto city there are thousands of lights, and in Fujiwara Fuchu there is also a warm family of three having dinner together, but the food is a bit shabby at best.
At this time, it was like a funeral in the Genji Mansion. All the family heads and warriors had serious faces. Others seemed to be preparing for the New Year, but they were all preparing for a funeral.
"The coalition forces totaled more than 15,000 people, including nearly 5,000 samurai, dozens of swordsmen, and one great swordsman. They all died in Kyoto, and no one returned..." The Koga ninja held the
The information from the investigation was read out.
"Kyoto has lost a city wall and a thousand acres of buildings. The total number of deaths is less than 200. Most of them were caused by unknown weird things. Among them, the casualties caused by our army to the enemy were...zero..."
Everyone fell silent, not even daring to take a breath.
If General Minamoto no Yoritomo behaves very angry, it is actually not a big problem, as long as the anger subsides.
However, at this time, Minamoto Yoritomo did not have any anger, but glanced at everyone present with his hawk-like eyes.
It was precisely this situation that made the people below even more hairy. Even the aura protecting the body seemed unable to withstand the cold.
Although the temperature was close to zero, many of them were sweating coldly and dripping on the ground under the oppression of silence.
"There are 15,000 people in total, less than 20 days have passed since the expedition, and they are all dead. There is not even a single person left alive. Even the 15,000 domestic dolphins cannot be solved by the Fujiwara clan in such a short time. I need
An explanation."
Minamoto Yoritomo's tone was very calm, but this calmness seemed to strike everyone's heart.
Neither Levi nor Yoritomo Minamoto could have imagined that super-level guys like Iki and Demon Monk Bankai would appear in Kyoto and be able to destroy an army of more than 10,000 people in just a few minutes.
Although Li Wei can also do this, he can only do it when all the enemies gather together and do not resist.
And on the other hand, the Faceless Ghost helped Levi a lot. The Faceless Ghost almost single-handedly wiped out all the ninjas and subordinates of the Genji Shogunate in Kyoto.
If it had been smarter and told all this information, maybe Li Wei would have let it go and it could have realized its ambition.
Therefore, more than half a month passed, and the people in Shendu did not receive any news for more than ten days before they sent out ninjas again. They found that the entire army had been wiped out, not a single person alive, not even a body left.
The ninja investigated outside the city for a long time before reconstructing the scene and reporting back.
When Minamoto Yoritomo first got the news, he was so angry that he hacked countless maids to death, but now he can't be angry anymore.
After all, he was the one who created the entire shogunate system. No matter how angry he was, all he could think of at this time was how to properly resolve this incident and how to deal with the Fujiwara clan in Kyoto.
If this incident is not handled well, he may be overthrown like his old rival the Ping clan and become a piece of history, leaving an infamy for future generations.
Instead, he needs to calm down, calmer than anyone else.
"General Minamoto, it is not the fault of our soldiers. It is the Fujiwara clan's lack of martial ethics and the civil war among the human race. They colluded with demons and released weird things. They are really unjust and cannot be tolerated by nature. We should send troops again to carry out the divine punishment on the Fujiwara clan."
Execute!" said one of the family heads.
"Yes, our soldiers basically died from monsters and monsters. The Fujiwara clan just relied on others. It was our soldiers who clearly prioritized the fate of the human race and chose to fight monsters and monsters first, but the Fujiwara clan stopped halfway.
A despicable way!"
"This must be the case, General Minamoto. We should continue to send troops, contact other daimyo, and attack the city directly this time without giving the Fujiwara clan any breathing space."
"General Yuan, we should block the news and announce to the people below that we have won a great victory. We have beaten Kyoto so hard that we can only retreat inside the city. And we will recruit more troops. This time we will send a large army to press the border and completely defeat it.
Kyoto.”
None of the family heads said that they basically believed that the victory was only possible because of the strange collusion between the Fujiwara clan of Kyoto and the demons. Kyoto's own fighting power was just that of a chicken and a dog, vulnerable to a single blow.
"General Minamoto, that's not right. Winter is coming soon. We have already been severely weakened. Even the head of the Kamiizumi family and the great swordsman Yagyu died in Kyoto. We should rest and recuperate and wait until the next spring to take advantage of it!"
Of course, there are also those who are more rational. The food stocks in their divine capital are actually not very sufficient. Moreover, they took away a large amount of food and grass during the expedition some time ago, and the remaining mess needs to be dealt with.
If you go out to fight again in a short period of time, you will really destroy your foundation.
However, whether they are doves or hawks, they basically hold the view of war, but one side believes that troops will be sent out again immediately, while the other side believes that they should wait until the next year to recuperate before sending out troops.
At this time, another person's voice came.
"General Minamoto, we can directly recognize the identity of the Fujiwara clan, which can save many people from the suffering of war. After all, our enemies are more monsters, weirdos, and Ezo people." One of the advisers said
.
The generals of Sakura Country can also be called strategists or counselors.
What this counselor said has always been what he said from the bottom of his heart. He had previously disagreed with marching into Kyoto because he always believed that the enemies of the human race were monsters and monsters first, followed by the Ezo people, and only then did they consider internal fighting.
There are only demons and weirdos left outside the city, and there are even demons or weirdos that sneak into the city from time to time and cause numerous evil consequences. Not to mention the country, even all human beings seem to be walking on a tightrope. If they are not careful,
The entire human race will perish.
But under such circumstances, the shogun and a group of warriors only wanted to fight among themselves.
The counselor only felt chilled. He often doubted whether such a master was really a wise master.
At this time, the whole scene suddenly cooled down and returned to the previous depressing atmosphere.
Minamoto Yoritomo looked at him with cold eyes, but the counselor did not take a step back.
"Drag him out and make him commit seppuku." He calmly told the fate of the counselor in front of him.
"General! Even if I commit seppuku immediately, we should not fight among ourselves anymore. We are still human beings no matter what, but now our greater threat is monsters and weirdos! General Yuan..."
But he has already been dragged down by the samurai, and it won't be long before he is so ashamed that he will have his belly committed.
