The well-known dandy bastard in Chang'an City has some strength after all. Although his temper has changed, the bastard's words that blurt out still retain the charm of the past.
It was almost dawn when Master Sun Ren and his personal guards arrived at the Tang Army's camp. . .
Unfortunately, Li Qinzai, who did not die in battle, had to stand outside the camp gate with Cheng Boxian and several Tang military generals to greet Sun Renshi.
Sun Renshi looked at him with a complicated expression. His weathered old face showed both anger and joy, and he didn't know how to express his emotions.
Li Qinzai and Cheng Boxian stood in front of him with guilty consciences, laughing.
After a long time, Master Sun Ren asked coldly: "Who made the decision to change the waterway without authorization and land in Japan?"
Li Qinzai and Cheng Boxian raised their hands at the same time, each pointing at the other: "Him!"
Immediately, Cheng Boxian was startled and then became furious: "Li Jingchu, you are so despicable!"
Li Qinzai ignored him and asked tentatively: "The general manager landed in the Japanese country without authorization and went to war with the Japanese country against the order, but we also occupied half of the Japanese country's land. Is this matter... a credit or a fault? What does Chang'an say?"
Master Sun Ren said angrily: "You still want credit? Now it's a matter of whether to kill or not!"
Staring at Li Qinzai, Master Sun Ren said: "A child from the Cheng family cannot do such a lawless thing. I know that this idea must be yours."
Li Qinzai said seriously: "General Manager, there is spring for wild lilies, and bad boys have always done one or two good deeds. How can the General Manager say so arbitrarily that I did it?"
Master Sun Ren was stunned: "Isn't it you?"
Li Qinzai was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled brightly: "You're really good at reading people!"
Master Sun Ren was so angry that he kicked him away, but Li Qinzai quickly passed by.
After all, he can be regarded as the commander of an army that destroyed half of the country. Li Qinzai's skills are much more agile than before.
After he was angry, Master Sun Renshi stared at his face and suddenly said: "You don't seem to be worried about your own fate? Disobeying orders before the battle is a serious crime of beheading. Even if your grandfather is here, he will definitely not be able to protect you."
Li Qinzai glanced at the densely packed ten thousand soldiers with flags flying behind Sun Renshi, and said with a smile: "If you really want to question me, the chief manager will not bring so many soldiers for reinforcements. Since the imperial court has reinforcements, it means that your majesty has approved it." He was determined to take Japan into his own hands, right?"
Sun Renshi twitched the corner of his mouth and finally showed a smile, but then his expression quickly turned cold: "You are too bold and reckless. When the military report reached Chang'an, His Majesty Long Yan was so angry that he almost ordered you to be executed."
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Fortunately, I kept up the good work. Before His Majesty beheaded me, I had destroyed half of the country. Otherwise, this head would be a bit unsteady."
Sun Renshi smiled and pointed at him: "Don't be too happy too early. Go back to Chang'an and wait for the court officials to impeach you. The matter is not over yet."
Turning around and pointing at the 10,000 reinforcements he had brought, Master Sun Ren said with a serious expression: "According to His Majesty's order, I am ordering you to lead a water force of more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry troops to reinforce Li Qinzai's troops. At the same time, he will bring food, grass, three-eyed guns, gunpowder and other baggage. A certain amount will be transferred to Li Qinzai."
Sun Renshi said in a deep voice: "Since you have destroyed half of the country, there is no reason to do things half-way. With these ten thousand reinforcements, you and the children of the Cheng family can work together to take down the Japanese country. The Japanese country is in your hands, and it will be useful to the court." Very useful."
Li Qinzai bowed and said: "I will obey the chief manager's orders."
Master Sun Ren shook his head: "No, I will not lead the troops in this battle. Your Majesty has decreed that you and Cheng Boxian will still command this battle. I will lead the navy to suppress the formation in the waters near Kyoto to respond to you."
"In response to the war, negotiations with the Japanese envoys and other matters are all decided by you two. Your Majesty said that generals cannot be changed before the battle. Since you have done a good job, there is no need for me to interfere."
As he spoke, Master Sun Ren smiled and said, "Your Majesty's favor and trust in you is truly unparalleled in this world. Jingchu must not let down His Majesty's trust."
Li Qinzai was moved in his heart and saluted: "Jingchu will definitely fulfill his mission and destroy the Japanese country within one month. Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
…………
With reinforcements, grain, grass and gunpowder, the original plan agreed upon by Li Qinzai and Cheng Boxian was naturally overturned.
Originally, he only planned to withdraw his troops after occupying Asuka Castle in Kyoto. However, today there are 10,000 reinforcements and sufficient supplies of food, grass, gunpowder and luggage. When he was exhausted, Li Zhi sent him a powerful potion to revive his soul.
So what are you worried about? Just do it and that's it.
When Sun Renshi's 10,000 reinforcements arrived at the Tang army camp outside Asuka City, the Japanese monarchs and ministers in Asuka City were completely panicked.
The situation took a turn for the worse. At this time, it was no longer a matter of resisting or not, but how to escape.
The thousands of exhausted troops led by Li Qinzai were unable to fight back against the Japanese. Now that the Tang army had added 10,000 elite soldiers, what else could they do except run for their lives?
If it were a year ago, even if the Tang army landed on the Japanese island mainland, the Japanese army would still be able to resist. After all, they were fighting with real swords and guns on the battlefield. Even though the Japanese army was not as powerful as the Tang army, the difference in casualties would not be too much, and it would not lead to the situation where the country is about to collapse today.
But now the Tang army had a new type of firearm inexplicably, something that could make loud noises, smoke and spit fire. It could knock over a large area of magical weapons with one shot, making it really difficult for the Japanese to resist.
With this kind of weapon, the combat power of the two sides was instantly extended. The Japanese army was simply a group of helpless babies in front of this new weapon.
With the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Army, the Japanese monarchs and ministers in Asuka City were in a panic. They didn't even bother to discuss. They each packed up money and soft goods in their mansions, prepared their families and servants, and fled out of the city overnight to the north.
On March 24, the second year of Longshuo, the Tang army captured Feiniao City in Kyoto, Japan.
On the day they entered the city, the Tang army slaughtered the city and killed more than 30,000 Japanese men. Countless people looted the treasury and civilian property. The Tang army officers and soldiers all had bulging backpacks and gained a lot.
Three days after massacring the city, the Tang army continued to march north. Before leaving, the Tang army set fire to the city. The city burned for three days without being extinguished, and the survivors' cries and howls shook the sky and filled the countryside.
On March 29, Japanese dignitaries gathered 20,000 private soldiers to block the Tang army's northward march and fought outside the Japanese city of Ishikawa.
On that day, the two armies met and fought fiercely day and night. The Tang army fell into battle and the 20,000 Japanese army retreated to Kanto.
This may be the last resistance force that the Japanese monarchs and ministers can organize.
After this battle, the Tang army advanced forward without encountering any large-scale resistance. The army advanced all the way to the vicinity of Nagano Castle in the center of Kyushu Island.
At this point, three-quarters of the land of the Japanese Kingdom had fallen into the hands of the Tang army. The whole country was frightened and the subjects panicked. The conservative forces of the Japanese court who had retreated to the north once again forced the eldest brother in the palace and urged the Japanese royal family to beg for peace from the Tang army. The eldest brother agreed.
Early April is the time when spring flowers bloom.
Outside the Japanese city of Nagano, a Japanese team marched five miles away from the gate of the Tang army's camp. The team carried more than a hundred large wooden boxes, and in the middle was a soft sedan with a bead curtain hanging down.
The soldiers of the Tang Army outside the camp watched the team with vigilance and sent people to warn the camp commander.
The Japanese team of more than a thousand people stopped two miles away from the camp gate. The soft sedan slowly landed on the ground, and an attractive woman wearing a wide-sleeved round robe walked towards the camp gate with the support of a palace maid.
When she was still tens of feet away from the camp gate, the stunningly beautiful woman suddenly knelt down and bowed, speaking loudly in blunt Guanzhong dialect: "Brother, the regent of the Yamato Kingdom, would like to offer the praise of Princess Kono to the young general of the Tang Dynasty, and beg the country to stop the war. Talk about peace, and the two countries will never stop fighting!"
