The night rain poured down, and the sky and the earth were dimmed.
The rain tonight was ridiculously heavy. Teams of soldiers and horses marched in the heavy rain, and the sound of wind and rain added a murderous tone.
The eldest brother, wearing the royal robe from before the country was destroyed, sat expressionlessly in the palace hall.
In front of him were more than a dozen loyal Japanese officials.
Everyone in the hall looked excited and a little uneasy.
Tonight, everyone is betting on their own wealth and their lives, and if they don't succeed, they will be punished.
Brother Zhong is full of confidence, and his expression is even a little proud.
The Tang army divided its forces and attacked north and south. There were only 3,000 defenders left in Feiniao City, and the more than 20,000 alliance troops he secretly funded were only more than 30 miles away from Feiniao City.
As the troops approached the city, dark clouds pressed down on the city.
No matter how powerful the weapons of the Tang army were, how could three thousand men defeat twenty thousand men?
Besides, there are internal forces in Feiniao City. Once the war starts, it will not be a simple attack and defense of the city. The Tang army in Feiniao City will also face a series of troubles.
The fleeting opportunity, Zhongda brother seized it, this is his ability.
In today's battle, the Japanese country will drive the Tang army away from the Japanese island, and the royal family will regain its former glory. The name of his eldest brother will become a wise monarch no less than Prince Shotoku and will shine in the history books for thousands of years.
"Gentlemen, success or failure, life or death, only depends on tonight, please!" The eldest brother knelt down in front of the ministers and saluted with his body bent to the ground.
The courtiers returned the gift in fear. When they raised their heads, everyone's face was filled with extreme excitement, which was even more morbid and crazy.
"Success leads to benevolence, that's all!" The ministers raised their right arms and roared.
A palace official hurriedly entered the palace, his face full of fear.
The eldest brother Zhong frowned. Tonight, the incident was taking advantage of the Tang army's mobilization. Most of the Tang army's imperial guards in the palace were mobilized, so the courtiers had to enter the palace to discuss matters. However, the frightened look on this palace man's face made him feel very unlucky.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, the eldest daughter of the Emperor, is requesting an audience outside the palace!" the palace man said nervously.
He is also a person trusted by Brother Zhong, and he vaguely knows that there may be a huge change tonight. If things fail, he, a humble little person, will not escape death.
"No!" Brother Zhong said decisively, brushing his sleeves.
The incident was imminent, and he would not allow any extraneous matters, not even his own daughter.
The palace attendant did not leave, however, and Qiqi Ai Ai said: "The emperor's eldest daughter said that the matter involves the life and death of the king and his ministers, and the king must see her."
Brother Zhong hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the courtiers kneeling in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "You will leave the palace quickly, follow the plan, and retreat!"
The ministers resigned one after another.
Not long after, the figure of Kono Sanliang appeared in the hall.
Brother Zhong looked at her with complicated eyes.
Tonight, Sanliang Tono's expression was no longer calm.
Entering the palace from the Tang Army camp, she clearly noticed that the surrounding environment was different.
Not only the mobilization of soldiers and horses of the Tang Army, but also the various shops and residences in the city seemed to be hiding murderous intent. Although there was no sign, she could clearly detect the tense atmosphere of the two forces in the air.
Corono Zan's heart trembled.
She quickly thought of her father, and she could guess what he was going to do.
How could the once powerful and glorious leader of the Japanese country, who had been under house arrest by the Tang army for several years, really be willing to lose everything and become a dispensable puppet of the Tang Dynasty?
The eldest brother of her father had never been a groveling person. In her childhood impression, her father was stern, strong and headstrong, and he was so cold-blooded and ruthless towards everyone.
Who dares to imagine such a person nodding and bowing in front of foreigners with a shy face?
Therefore, his forbearance and compromise in the past few years are just a waste of time.
On the way from the camp to the palace, Sanliang Kono finally figured it out.
The more this happened, the more frightened Kono Sanliang felt.
She has been working as a maid in the Li family's courtyard in the past few years, and has become more and more familiar with Li Qinzai. She is very aware of Li Qinzai's abilities, and she knows even more clearly the purpose of the transfer of the Tang Army's camp just now.
There is no chance of winning. No matter what choice he makes, Li Qinzai has already opened his pockets and is waiting for you to enter the urn.
And if his father is defeated tonight, he will not only lose the throne of Japan, but also his own life and even the lives of his entire family.
"Father, please stop all actions, please!" Sanliang Kono begged as he knelt down in front of Brother Naka.
Brother Zhong frowned: "What are you talking about? What should I do?"
"Father, stop pretending. There is a tense situation inside and outside Asuka City. How can you hide it from me? Please stop all actions and apologize to Li Qinzai personally. Maybe there will be a way to survive!" Sanliang Kono sobbed.
"What are you talking about!" Brother Zhong was angry, but his heart became increasingly uneasy.
Kouno Zanliang cried loudly: "Father, you can't defeat Li Qinzai. His ability is not as simple as what you see. Even my daughter can see the arrangements. Do you think you can hide it from him?"
Brother Zhong was horrified and shocked: "Did he see it?"
Kono Zanliang shook his head, but cried: "I don't know, but my daughter thinks that he should have noticed that the soldiers and horses in the Tang Army camp have been mobilized, and it should be aimed at her father."
The muscles in Brother Zhong's cheeks trembled violently. I don't know if he was hiding the fear in his heart. He sneered: "No matter how he mobilizes, he only has three thousand soldiers and horses!"
Kono Sanliang looked at him with eyes full of regret: "His methods will not be exposed for you to see. The person who can be introduced by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty as an important minister of the country will be what you imagined." Is it that simple? Father, you have made a big mistake!"
Brother Zhong trembled all over and opened his mouth to say something, when the dark sky outside the palace suddenly burst into flames, and then the southern firelight of Feiniao City lit up half of the sky.
Kono Sanliang's eyes widened suddenly, full of horror and despair.
But the eldest brother laughed like crazy: "It's too late to say anything! I've already started an attack!"
…………
On the horse path of the city wall of Feiniao City, Li Qinzai stood with his hands clasped in his hands, quietly watching the fire burning in the south of the city on a rainy night.
In the dark night when the rain was pouring, a fire suddenly broke out in the city, which was obviously man-made.
The fire burned the houses, and countless Japanese people screamed and fled from the fire, looking for their relatives in panic.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and there seemed to be a trace of kerosene smell in the air coming from a distance.
Li Qinzai squinted at the chaos in the distance, but his figure remained motionless.
On the walls of Asuka City, three thousand armored soldiers were waiting in full formation, and the silence exuded a murderous intent.
Li Qinzai smiled and murmured: "These people are not stupid. They are reluctant to burn their own houses, so they will start burning the civilian houses first."
Liu Asi came over and whispered: "Fifth Young Master, the soldiers are ready. Please give the order, Fifth Young Master."
Li Qinzai turned to look at the empty plain outside the city and said, "Where is the alliance army to the north?"
"The scouts have come to report that they are less than five miles away from Beicheng and can reach the foot of Feiniao City in half an hour."
Li Qinzai nodded: "Send the order to seize the Internet cafes. By the way, it's best to kill one to serve as a warning. Those who give up resistance and surrender will be spared. This time I am willing to take prisoners. ... They are all my labor!"
