Real Cthulhu Running Game

"So, Duke Gundogan died suddenly after the war?" Liu Xing asked with raised eyebrows.

Alice nodded and said seriously: "Yes, Duke Gundogan died suddenly within half a month after receiving those awards, so his sons became what they are now; therefore In my opinion, that treasure is probably related to Duke Gundogan, and I now have a bold guess, that is, Oda Nobunaga may have entered this mirage."

Hearing what Alice said, Li Hanxing patted his thigh and nodded and said: "Yes, maybe that treasure was taken out of this mirage by Oda Nobunaga himself, because from a historical perspective we can I found a problem, that is, Oda Nobunaga can be said to be two people before and after he succeeded the family head. After all, there are many people in this world who have the wrong name, but there are still very few people who have the wrong nickname, so' The two nicknames, Owari’s Big Idiot and ‘Sixth Heaven Demon King’, don’t seem to be referring to the same person, right?”

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Oda Nobunaga deliberately concealed his clumsiness, but from the perspective of future generations, we can clearly know that the Oda family at that time was a typical example of being less than the superiors and more than the inferiors; because Oda Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobuhide, was in an unfair position. First, he used various means to gain control of the Owari area from the Shiba family, and then in order to seize the later Oda family's main city, Nakono Castle, which is now Nagoya, Oda Nobuhide also played a conspiracy and deceived the trust of the Lord of Furuno Castle and then pretended to be ill and brought his men into the city to launch an attack."

"It is worth noting that the lord of Furuno Castle at that time was named Imagawa Ujitoyo. It is said that he was probably the younger brother of Imagawa Yoshimoto. Therefore, when Imagawa Yoshimoto later sent troops to attack the Oda family, he mentioned that he was fighting for this Imagawa Ujitoyo recaptured Nakono Castle, so this can be regarded as an important conflict between the Oda family and the Imagawa family; in addition, the Oda family also faces the threat of another family, that is, the Saito family in the Mino area to the north of the Oda family. The head of the family, Saito Michizan, was a young boy like Oda Nobuhide. He was originally just an ordinary businessman and acquired the Mino area by poisoning."

"Saito Douzan knows that although he is in the same unjust position as Oda Nobuhide, Oda Nobuhide is also a noble, and he is a commoner. Now that he occupies such a large area in the Mino area, it will definitely attract people. He coveted her, so Saito Douzan thought of marrying the neighboring Oda family and letting his daughter Guidi marry Oda Nobunaga. However, as the 'Viper of Mino', Saito Douzan wanted to In addition to wanting to form an alliance with the Oda family, the other big reason for marrying the Oda family was that he heard that Oda Nobunaga was 'Owari's big fool', so he wanted his daughter to control Oda Nobunaga. "

"Because the inheritance system here in the island country is also quite weird, so if Oda Nobunaga continues to be stupid in history, or fails in the Battle of Okehama, then Saito Douzan will have a good chance of annexing the Oda family. Here he can A very interesting thing happened, that is, Oda Nobunaga directly exposed Guidi's intention as soon as he arrived; here we first make an assumption, that is, this matter is a real thing and not a posthumous attempt to promote it. It was fabricated by Oda Nobunaga, so here we can see that Oda Nobunaga may really be a hypocrite and quite smart, so what is his purpose?"

"escape!"

Liu Xing said with certainty: "If Oda Nobunaga is really a smart man, then he should know very well that the Oda family was on the verge of danger at that time. Firstly, it was because the Oda family was not in the right position, so Owari's orthodox manager Shiba The family has been trying to find ways to get back what belongs to them, and the head family of the Oda family, the Qingzhou Oda family, is also dissatisfied with his younger brother. Of course, because at this time, the Oda family has already been bullying the store with customers, and its strength Far superior to my own family, the Seiju Oda family, so although the Seiju Oda family is on good terms with the Oda family on the surface, there are actually cracks in the relationship between the two parties."

"The last and most important point is that the powerful Imagawa family is not far away from the Oda family. At that time, the Imagawa family was much stronger than the Oda family. On paper, it could completely crush the Oda family. In addition, the Imagawa family had the power to Ujitoyo's attempt to recapture the Furuno Castle was a fair and just excuse to start the war, so Oda Nobunaga should have been very aware at that time that the Imagawa family might go north to destroy his own family at any time; and Oda Nobunaga heard that Saito Douzan planned to return his daughter to Butterfly. When he married himself, he should also have known that the Saito family was also eyeing the Oda family's fat piece."

"That's right." Li Hanxing continued: "According to historical records, Oda Nobuhide's subordinates at that time were either a group of young men, or they were just dawdling around as monks beating the clock. There were not many people who were truly loyal to the Oda family. , everyone was waiting for Oda Nobhide to die like Zhu Bajie, and then they would divide the Oda family's "baggage" and go their separate ways. Therefore, after Oda Nobunaga realized this at that time, he most likely substituted himself for Liu Chan. He is a character who is preparing to pretend to be a fool to make a living for himself, and judging from Oda Nobunaga's reputation at the time, it is really possible that he can successfully live in the Imagawa family or the Saito family for the rest of his life."

"Then, Oda Nobunaga encountered one of the most important turning points in his life, which was Oda Nobunaga's untimely death at the age of forty-one. This made the young Oda Nobunaga determined that he would Continue to pretend to be crazy, because Oda Nobunaga knew very well that his foundation in the Oda family was unstable, and Imagawa Yoshimoto would soon come to trouble the Oda family when he learned that his father had passed away, so it is said that Oda Nobunaga was He chose not to keep a vigil for his father and just ran away in the dark."

"Because ancient cities basically closed their gates at night, not to mention the sudden death of the head of the Oda family. I think the gates of Na Furuno Castle must have been closed at that time, and the guards stepped up patrols, so Oda Nobunaga had no choice but to leave Na Furuno Castle. Easy, so Oda Nobunaga at that time should have chosen to find a place to hide first, and then he most likely came to the future location of Restaurant No. 5, and then was teleported to this mirage, and finally returned with the treasure In the real world, and after having that treasure, Oda Nobunaga had the ambition to spread weapons all over the world, and he stopped acting."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and felt that Li Hanxing's statement was quite reasonable, because if he looked at the problem from the perspective of Oda Nobunaga at that time, he would definitely think that he was facing an unsolvable problem, so As an island native who is deeply influenced by China, Oda Nobunaga may really regard Liu Chan as his role model.

"If that's true, doesn't it overturn the legend that Oda Nobunaga got the treasure after burning Mount Hiei?" Alice said with a frown.

But before Li Hanxing could speak, Alice figured it out and said: "This seems to be easy to explain. That is, Oda Nobunaga wanted to give a reasonable explanation for his previous performances, and it was impossible to tell others about him. Were you really cowarded before? As for why the legend mentioned the burning of Mount Hiei, I think it was very likely that someone on Mount Hiei got clues about the treasure, so Oda Nobunaga thought of silencing him."

"Yes, many island temples at that time can be described as a nest of snakes and rats. Many bandits and bandits took their own money to become ordained and became monks after they could no longer survive. Of course, there were also many children of aristocratic families and even family heads because of I became a monk for various reasons, so the temple at that time can be said to be one of the most well-informed places in the island country, because there are everyone there." Liu Xing nodded and said: "Besides, Oda Nobunaga is very fond of Western culture. Clothes, so this can be regarded as evidence that Oda Nobunaga may have been to this mirage.”

"I think so too."

Sun Huiwen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Maybe Oda Nobunaga regarded wearing Western clothes as a condition for the use of that treasure, or maybe he was envious of the aristocratic life in this mirage. After all, today's dinner is extremely luxurious."

Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but smile and said, "Perhaps this is the ancient version of the transformation plan? Although the economic conditions of the Oda family were good at that time, because the local products of the island country were not rich, Oda Nobunaga's food and clothing expenses It is definitely not comparable to the aristocratic life in this mirage, not to mention that this mirage is not a real world in the first place. It is not a problem to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, even mythical creatures, so all this is very important to Oda Nobunaga, who was still a young man at the time. It has great impact, so it is normal for Oda Nobunaga to start imitating it after he developed."

Alice sighed, shook her head and said: "If this is the case, then we might be able to find the traces left by Oda Nobunaga in this castle, because the Mirage will basically not do anything before it is cleared. Otherwise, we would not be able to find the yellow piece of paper, but now the question arises again. Oda Nobunaga could only have left the mirage as the last survivor, so how did he get the treasure? ?Although the side effects of that treasure are great, its effect is also great."

"This is also the question I want to ask." Li Hanxing shook his head and said: "Other people who were the last survivors and escaped from the Mirage were basically considered to have left home. Not only did they say they did not receive any rewards, Moreover, under the surveillance of careful people, they did not reveal any clues until their death, so how did Oda Nobunaga become an exception? Is he really the chosen one?"

"If he is the chosen one, then he will not become the main dish at the Honnōji BBQ." Liu Xing complained: "Do you think there is such a possibility, that is, the mirage is a mirage except for those who are ever-changing? In addition to the side missions, there are actually one or even multiple main missions, and the side missions will only be started after the main mission is completed."

"Liu Xing, you mean that Oda Nobunaga actually got the treasure and left after completing the first stage of the Mirage's main mission, and we are now in the second stage?" Li Hanxing said in surprise.

Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "That's what I think. Maybe the background story Alice just mentioned is the first stage of the main mission - Duke Gundogan leads the troops to fight, and the people who enter the mirage are Became his helper; if I remember correctly, Alice, you said that Duke Gundogan's abilities in all aspects are not outstanding, and he always relies on luck to turn the tide, but I have other opinions here, That is, Duke Gundogan has Oda Nobunaga beside him to make suggestions.”

Having said this, Liu Xing looked at Alice and continued: "Although there was the Silk Road that connected trade between the East and the West, there were very few exchanges between the two sides in other aspects, which led to extreme differences between the two sides in many aspects. Big difference, let me just ask a question, Alice, do you know how many books on the art of war there were in ancient Europe?"

"Uh." Alice frowned and said, "There don't seem to be many, because the ancient military books on Europa are basically based on military notes and memoirs, and the authors are all based on a famous general. Describe his performance in the battle. Although there is also mention of troop formation, it basically does not go into too much detail. The main content is still focused on the origin of the war and the ideological collision between various characters, so Liu Xing you If I were asked to name a military book like Sun Tzu's Art of War, I really can't think of it right now."

At this time, Li Hanxing raised his hand and said: "My captain also mentioned this matter before. He believed that the West in ancient times, especially in the Middle Ages, was somewhat similar to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States events in China. Although countries Conflicts happen from time to time, but because everyone is more or less related to each other, it is rare that a fatal blow occurs, and war is only a part of resolving conflicts, a not too important part. So the war at that time was that the two sides first found a large plain to start their battle, and then the battle started after the formation was ready."

"This is the reason why Cao GUI's debate would go on and on, then fade away, and then be exhausted. Because after the drum was beaten, the troops of both sides began to fight. Both sides would fight casually for a while and then withdraw their troops; and the situation in the West It's almost the same. If they feel they can't win, they will surrender directly. If they pay enough ransom later, they can go home, so the art of war at that time was basically just a tack, and it was still a little early before it officially appeared."

Liu Xing nodded.
