I am practicing in the Nianghua Warring States Period

The heavy clashing of armor, the crisp knocking of weapons hitting each other, the sounds of fighting and shouting combined together.

However, after the two sides engaged, the battle began to tilt one-sidedly almost instantly, and the monks and rioters fell to the ground one by one like leeks being cut.

Especially the area in front of Beidou Xinwei, it was like entering a hell of death. Even enemies that Beidou Xinwei's weapon didn't touch were cut in two (the cooldown of the New Year's Sword Technique is a bit slow, and it needs to be upgraded to reduce the cooldown).

“Buddha!——”

“Namo…Ahhhh!——”

A group of monks were chopped into pieces like melons and vegetables. Beidou Xinwei's sword swing was powerful and swift. He broke away from the army and charged back and forth in the enemy formation, destroying it. Yet he was able to command the infantry of his own camp to attack from a distance.

This is the benefit of the Total War system.

"I have captured the enemy general Myōinji Fukuei!"

"I have captured the enemy general Senjoji Hōru!—"

Whenever he killed a general, Beidou Xinwei would lift him onto his sword and fly him into the air. He would then immediately sever his head mid-air and hold it in his hand. It seemed Beidou Xinwei himself had some special ideas about beheading enemy generals.

After a battle, a human head was hung in front of the horse, and several spears were tied behind the horse, with several heads of people who died with their eyes wide open and filled with fear stuck on the spear tips.

The loud cries of demanding finally drowned out the chants of "Namo". Finally, when Beidou Xinwei cut down a large banner with "Namo Amitabha" written in black on a white background,

The entire monk army began to retreat with wailing sounds, and everyone wanted to retreat back to the city not far away.

However, this is easier said than done.

Another bloody chase ensued, the vests and armor once again stained red with the bloody DLC's blood plasma, blood dripping down like a stream. Human heads were hung in front of and behind horses, waists, and even pierced with spears tied to the horses.

Two hours later, the vanguard of the Matsudaira family saw Hokuto Nobuyuki capture Honshoji Temple in this form.

The background music is the sound of begging for mercy and killing all over the mountains.

The background image shows a burning Buddhist temple and smashed Buddha statues.

Blood, heads, corpses of monks and burning temples.

"Oh, Buddha..." I don't know why. Is he worried about the temple property? Or is he really afraid?

The Matsudaira family, led by Matsudaira Motoyasu, shuddered in unison.

In this life! No, in the next life!

Don't have any conflict with this kind of evil spirit!!!

Chapter 202

"Hey! Hey!"

"Roar!"

The five thousand people outside the Temple of the True God were slaughtered, driven away, and separated. Like a fight between a tiger and a lamb, the Chosen One of Khorne fought his way into the mortal world.

During the Warring States Period in Japan, when chaos reigned, everyone was accustomed to bloody killings. However, this was a bit too bloody. I heard that the battles between the samurai in the Eastern Kingdom were all bloody, and Tōkaidō was also considered a part of the Eastern Kingdom. Matsudaira thought to himself, "Why have I never seen such a bloody battle?"

What’s even more terrifying is, is this something a human would do?

There were roars of arrogance and a well-organized, disciplined massacre. The Beidou family seemed to have trained their soldiers into emotionless shells. Logically, at this time, the burning, murder, looting, and raping would be uncontrollable.

However, after completing the basic killing, Beidou Xinwei's army made an absolute distinction between civilians and monks, and then began to slaughter them by name.

Heads were chopped off, houses were burned down, and all property was looted.

Beidou Xinwei had already finished the battle, and the late arrival of the Matsudaira family was already inferior to them. Now, in front of the murderous army of Beidou Xinwei, they seemed even more ashamed. When Matsudaira Motoyasu found Beidou Xinwei.

What he saw was an explosion. About a hundred Beidou family soldiers, led by Beidou Xinwei, were surrounding a group of monks numbering about three thousand in the square in front of the temple.

Given the narrowness and number of people, it would generally be difficult to control the rioters who had just been defeated. If these thousands of rioters rioted collectively or were instigated by someone with ulterior motives, it would be an absolute disaster.

However, under Beidou Xinwei's suppression, no one dared to resist.

Matsudaira Motoyasu and his retainers were afraid of being stimulated by this scene, but this scene was really too exciting!

"It's your turn! Come here! Kneel down!—"

Under all the orders, the monks could only lower their heads and follow the orders with pale faces. Even if these orders required them to kneel before the butcher's knife, they could only stretch their necks out in fear.

This is a strange and incredible scene.

It is like Mr. Baturu Zhaohui's behavior of making Junggar a place name from then on.

"Settsu no Kami... His Highness Settsu no Kami? His Highness?" Matsudaira Motoyasu walked over tremblingly. To be honest, he was pushed over by his retainers.

He really didn't want to come.

"Oh? Your Highness, Mikawa." Beidou Xinwei lowered his head, his Tang-style armor still dripping with blood. To maintain his dignity, he did not remove his metal mask. "Well, do you think I'm keeping my word? I distinguish between monks and ordinary people. From now on, I will keep all of you, the people of Mikawa, but not a single monk."

"Yes, yes... Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness."

He wanted to say something else, but after he walked to Beidou Xinwei's side, the blazing temple in the distance reflected the bright red color of blood on his golden armor - that kind of tangible blood-red light made everyone present dare not say no.

Intimidated, Matsudaira Motoyasu calmed himself down.

If there were a world where Matsudaira Motoyasu actually evolved into the future Shogun, he wouldn't dare to even utter a single word before Hokuto Nobuyoshi's death. If a force bearing the Seven-Star Flag suddenly appeared during the Battle of Sekigahara, Matsudaira Motoyasu might have been frightened to death on the spot. If the Battle of Osaka hadn't been invaded by the six-coin-wielding Sanada warriors, but by the Seven-Star Flag-bearing Hokuto Nobuyoshi, Matsudaira Motoyasu would have performed seppuku right there to cheer everyone up.

Unfortunately, in this world, Matsudaira Motoyasu could only bow deeply and fawn on the spot, saying tremblingly, "Thank you, Settsu no Kami. I am truly... ashamed, extremely ashamed. I was unable to make it to the battle..."

"It doesn't matter, we won anyway. Oh, by the way, I will take the military merits of these soldiers myself." Beidou Xinwei pointed lightly at the flames rising into the sky.

"Yes... yes, of course, it's as I should, it's as I should." Regarding the phenomenon of "random taking" of his territory, Matsudaira Motoyasu said that it was as if he saw the American troops stationed in Japan.

"But, but... Your Highness." Matsudaira Motoyasu swallowed hard and said, "Couldn't these monks also release some novices? You see... the best way to rule is through fear. Their hatred can be masked by fear. These novices are necessary for ignorant people. Rather than training them again, why not leave a few here so that they will always remember the consequences of betrayal and rebellion."

"...That makes sense. After all, this is your territory. Whatever you wish to do is your business. I am a guest soldier, so it is not my place to interfere. Since His Highness Sanhe has asked for your permission, I will do you a favor."

Beidou Xinwei spoke as if he were gentle and elegant, and nodded lightly: "But Lord Mikawa, I have to say something to you. This Mikawa is yours, but the Oda family needs its allies to be at least somewhat capable. Look at your side, it's almost been infiltrated like a sieve, and so many people surrendered in one Ikko Ikki rebellion. As expected, yesterday's events have leaked out. These monks are well prepared and may even be able to delay your journey for several hours. Ah... I don't want to say much. After defeating the monks in East Mikawa, I hope you can at least hold on to Mikawa!"

"Yes Yes……"

Beidou Xinwei spoke like this as a guest general, and he spoke like this to his own lord. In fact, as the samurai of Mikawa, everyone is very embarrassed to lose face. There is a saying that "a lord humiliates a servant, but under Beidou Xinwei's scolding, it is obvious that the samurai of Mikawa have no great ability to resist.

Matsudaira Motoyasu could only nod like a chick pecking at rice.

"I have a good temper." Beidou Xinwei said this, and the people present did not dare to say anything, but no one believed it.

"Ahem... you scum." Beidou Xinwei strode into the middle of a group of monks, squinting his eyes and shouting in Japanese with disdain: "You don't observe the precepts and are arrogant. You drink alcohol, eat meat, own slaves, collect taxes, lend money, and keep prostitutes - I will eliminate the scum on behalf of the Buddha. However, considering Master Mikawa's plea, I will spare some of you..."

As he spoke, Beidou Xinwei cut off the Chinese characters and shouted, "Japanese monks, you are utterly evil! I learned the Tripitaka Mahayana Buddhism from the Tang Dynasty in the East, and the Vinaya school's teachings are the strictest in observing the precepts. People like you deserve to be sent to the eighteen levels of hell, never to be reborn! Now, who among you knows Chinese best? Come, I want to see who of you speaks the most fluent Chinese and Sanskrit."

More than five hundred years have passed since then.

The monks in Sanhe region speak Chinese better than those in other regions! It's a tradition passed down from generation to generation, a process of survival of the fittest.

But... the next scene is even weirder.

Beidou Xinwei tested everyone present one by one with Buddhist scriptures, and whoever could not give an accurate answer in Chinese.

Click!

Beidou Xinwei has wanted to do this for a long time!

Whoever doesn’t finish their homework—snap!

Yet, the terrifying demon Khorne let go of all the monks who were familiar with the scriptures. He also killed all those who drank, ate meat, and played with women. It seemed like he was really assessing the performance of the Buddhist sect...

Those who stayed were all gentle, respectful, frugal and modest.

Chapter 203: The Ii family was frightened by the notorious Beidou

Good times don't last long.

But good days are worth living.

Beidou Xinwei's time in Sanhe wasn't very long, only a month. War should never be the main focus of a government—Beidou Xinwei focused most of their energy on the military...

Only when we go abroad to fight! Fighting, it's awesome! In Sanhe, Beidou Xinwei has pushed the war to its peak. Wherever you're dissatisfied, you'll be attacked! Wherever you show up, you'll be chopped down!

In less than a month, the entire Sanhe was in chaos.

Almost all those who opposed Matsudaira Motoyasu were killed. Hokuto Nobuo, with his own thousand men and the remaining three thousand men from Mikawa who had become completely obedient, carried out a brutal crackdown in the Mikawa region.

We have focused on the new track of monks' property, deeply grasped the pain points of people's lives, and deepened the perception of the entire Sanhe people with a short, flat and fast killing method.

Fighting is so cool!

He was doing very well in the entire Dongsanhe area.

The Imagawa family's Totomi forces, who were right at the doorstep, were collectively shaken.

It's a tiny place to begin with, barely even 20 kilometers across. If you're playing War Thunder, your planes are barely full of fuel; if you're playing World of Warships, you're barely enough for a proper battleship to fire at; if you're playing StarCraft, you can only throw a radar.

Hokuto Nobuyuki's rampage in Higashi-Mikawa was accompanied by a miraculous ecological backlash among the people of Totomi. The local lords had already been shaken by the decline of the Imagawa family, making them a swing state. Now, despite Hokuto Nobuyuki's massive actions in Mikawa, the Imagawa family surprisingly showed little reaction.

The local lords all said they couldn't stand it any longer! It was time to change the track.

So they sent envoys to the Matsudaira family and even to the camp of Hokuto Nobuyoshi. The main purpose of the envoys was not only to recognize their faces so that they could have an explanation in the future, but also to serve as observers for the army.

For the first time, the people of Yuanjiang experienced Beidou Xinwei's blessings so closely—not just killing, but also destroying their hearts! When Beidou Xinwei was physically rectifying the spiritual problems of the Buddhist community in Dongsanhe, the appearance was a bit too terrifying.

And Yuanjiang has a portal.

It's called Ii.

The head of the Ii family is the female castle lord Naotora.

"Nah... Nani?!" Miss Ii Naotora looked at the person who came back to report with a confused look on her face, as if she had misheard: "Nangjiaduo? What did you say? Say it again?"

"My Lord...My Lord..." The man who came back to report had an expression uglier than crying, and he said tremblingly, "Your Highness, your Highness, Beidou Xinwei, defeated the 13,000-man coalition of monks from the East Three Rivers with only 1,000 soldiers. After the battle, over 2,000 heads were beheaded. The corpses...the corpses floated on the riverbank, flowing downstream and blocking...blocking the river. The heads, the heads were used to build several Jingguans. The local monks were all killed...all...vomit!!!"

The person who came back to report started vomiting.

The report was made by Ii Naotora, a samurai from his own Ii clan, Okuyama Asatoshi. He was a distant relative of the Ii clan, both in-laws and in-laws. He was politically reliable, ideologically strong, and not too lacking in ability. After all, he was a samurai who had been on the battlefield since childhood and was already in his fifties.

As the old man discussed the scene of the Beidou family killing people, the dead memories came back to life! They transformed into zombies and frantically attacked the other party's brain - directly causing him to vomit.

"Okuyama-sama! Okuyama-sama?!"

"Master Chaoli, what's wrong with you? Come here and get a basin!"

Everyone present at the Ii clan panicked instantly. A foul odor washed over them. The young men present finished washing the floor, and the retainers continued their meeting amidst the stench of vomit, their hearts aching with nausea. Listening to Beidou Xinwei's story was even more disgusting.

"This guy is truly an enemy of Buddha, a devil, the embodiment of terror and tyranny. If there is a god of terror and tyranny, he must be the chosen one of Khorne." The other retainers present began to mutter.

"Alas... our family, our family and Lord Saigimoto went to Owari. Three hundred people went, but only about thirty escaped..."

Naotora Ii had a rather dashing appearance, with a strong tomboyish style. In an era when girls, even female lords, wore their hair long, she kept her hair shaved short, just above her ears, giving her a sophisticated look. However, the tomboyish style wasn't something everyone could pull off. This 19-year-old beauty had a very difficult life.

A child was betrothed to a young woman, a girl we'll call A. A's father was murdered by the Imagawa clan, and A fled, returning years later. The Imagawa clan, at the height of their power, disinherited Ii Naotora and forced her to become a nun. Upon returning, A disavowed the betrothal and married the daughter of the Okuyama clan. The Okuyama clan, as distant relatives of the Ii clan, also had ties to the family and had a son.

Then A was secretly killed by the Imagawa family not long ago because he wanted to surrender. Ii Naotora was ordered to act as the agent of the Ii family for his distant nephew.

Ms. Ii Naotora was engaged at the age of five, then remarried for political reasons. She remarried again at the age of six, and then became a nun at the age of seven! She spent ten years as a nun, and she was actually quite happy. Suddenly, she was brought back to be the eldest—and then this happened.

"In the Battle of Okehazama, many members of our family were killed by Hokuto Nobuyuki. My father committed suicide in Okehazama because he was desperate. Many old people in the family were also killed... In some villages, five or six out of ten male adults were killed directly..." When Ii Naotora said this, he shuddered.

Almost everyone present was in mourning, as they were all killed by Beidou Xinwei.

"Zhihu, I don't think this is the time to dwell on the past." A monk at the side said after swallowing hard.

This man was the abbot of Longtan Temple and the great-uncle of Ii Naotora. He also looked to be around fifty years old—Monk Nanxi.

"Granduncle, now is not the time for us to dwell on the past. Now is the time for us to pray that others will let bygones be bygones." Ii Naotora was almost in tears. The beautiful girl spread her hands and said, "I said I wouldn't take over. I wouldn't take over! Look what's going on now! I'm going to be the ruler of a fallen country! It's over..."

"Don't worry, don't worry—we need to think about this from a different perspective." Buddhists have a remarkable way of thinking, and Taizu once praised the Diamond Sutra for its rich dialectical thinking. Monk Nanxi clasped his hands together and said, "Hokuto Nobuyuki has killed so many people, how could he remember who the Qing Dynasty killed? Our Ii family is not in their eyes."

"..."

At this time, everyone in the Jingi family was stunned.

That's right! They don't even take us little reptiles seriously—that's awesome! This is the first time I've felt so blessed by my own low sense of presence.

Chapter 204: The Feminization Warring States Plan

"In other words, we can no longer constantly feel that Hokuto Nobuyoshi has killed so many of our compatriots. In the chaotic Warring States period, this can't be helped. We each serve our own masters." Monk Nanxi continued to analyze the problem: "Now is the time to delay and send another envoy! Rushing to the Matsudaira clan. The main clan is a springboard for attacking Totomi. The Ii territory has long been coveted by the Imagawa clan. Now the Imagawa clan dares not make any major moves in order not to provoke Hokuto Nobuyoshi, who is fighting in Higashi-Mikawa. We can understand this as: the Imagawa clan has abandoned the main clan!"

"...? How could such a good thing happen? I'm afraid he'll give up on rescuing our family today and come to collect taxes tomorrow." Ii Naotora had been a hostage of the Imagawa family for over a decade, so he knew their true character. "Good things don't matter to you, but bad things are your responsibility—the Imagawa family has always been like this."

"Haha, this is the reason why we're heading to the Matsudaira clan. The Imagawa clan doesn't dare to manage us, and Hokuto Nobuyoshi is only a retainer of the Oda clan after all. We can't lead a thousand-man army and fight for Mikawa Matsudaira for the rest of our lives, can we? The Hokuto clan will leave sooner or later, and they probably won't help the Matsudaira fight us in Totomi. At this time, what we should do is to strike a balance - to maintain good relations with the Matsudaira clan, so that the Hokuto clan, as an ally, won't be able to attack us. Now, the Imagawa clan needs us as a buffer zone, and we're happy with that -"

“…” Ii Naotora, who had been a hostage all his life, thought about it.

That's what happened.
