There was something blocking his throat, making Fuyu Fengzhang speechless. He grabbed Fuyu Zhongsheng's arm and hugged him: "If great things can be accomplished, you and I will share this country as brothers!"
Ren Cun City.
Onimuro Fukunobu raised the crossbow, put the crossbow handle against his shoulder, aimed at the target fifty steps away, and pulled the trigger. There was only a soft sound and he felt a bump on his shoulder.
"Hit! The Prime Minister was shot!"
"Yes, the Tang people didn't play any tricks this time. What a surprise!" Fukunobu Onimuro threw the launched crossbow to the guards behind him and said with a smile: "I originally thought they would sell me a batch of junk. !”
"The general thought so too, so I checked it very carefully during the transaction!" Hei Te Changzhi said with a smile: "It's a pity that I couldn't buy the Tang Dynasty's repeating crossbow and scorpion."
"The weapons of the military will definitely not be sold!" Onimuro Fukunobu shook his head and refused the strung crossbow handed to him by the guard: "But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully. They are about to withdraw their troops. These The arsenals of the Eastern and Western Tang Dynasties are plentiful and more sophisticated, so it would be better to exchange some money for silk and use them yourself."
"That's what the Prime Minister said!" Hei Te Changzhi hesitated for a moment and whispered: "After all, there is no solid evidence that the Tang people are about to withdraw their troops-"
"Isn't this the best certificate?" Onimuro Fuxin smiled and pointed at the crossbow in the guard's hand: "Two hundred iron armors, one thousand horned bows, three hundred crossbows, and one hundred thousand arrows , these things are not fake. If the Tang people do not withdraw their troops, they will be life-or-death enemies with us, and these soldiers and armors will cost the lives of thousands of soldiers!"
Black Teeth often remained silent. He could not refute Onimuro Fukunobu's words. The Restoration Army actually had no shortage of soldiers. The civil war between the three countries on the peninsula had lasted for hundreds of years, and the societies of the three countries all showed the characteristics of "Warring States" - that is, All social activities revolve around war, and all members are potential soldiers.
It is recorded in Shang Jun's book: "Three armies: one army of strong men; one army of strong women; one army of old and weak men and women. This is called the three armies. The army of strong men makes food rich, soldiers strong, and Chen. Wait for the enemy. The army of strong women will prepare food, carry the base, and prepare it for orders. When the guests arrive, they will make soil to prepare for dangers and to cultivate the grid traps. There was no help and preparation. The army of the old and the weak had to herd cattle, horses, sheep and pigs, and harvest and eat the edible vegetation in order to obtain food for the strong men and women." This is a vivid portrayal of this kind of Warring States society.
What restricts the combat effectiveness of the Fuguo Army is sophisticated weapons. If the Tang Army had not captured the capital city of Sixian in one fell swoop and controlled a large number of weapons in the arsenal, the Tang Army would probably have fallen into the quagmire of a long-term war and could not extricate itself.
"Prime Minister, someone is coming to Zhouliu City, just outside the city!" A guard came to report.
"Oh? Who is coming? How many people are accompanying him?" Onimuro Fuxin showed a rough smile. This smile with black teeth seemed very familiar to Chang Zhi.
"This is Fuyu Zhongsheng, accompanied by three hundred people. He said that he learned that you fell from your horse and came here to visit you!"
"Why is it him?" Onimuro Fukunobu shook his head in disappointment, just like a hunter who saw his prey bypassing his carefully set trap.
"Do you want to see him?" Black Teeth Changzhi asked.
"Although I don't want to see him, how is it possible? This guy must be here for his brother!" Onimuro Fukunobu sighed: "I have no choice but to act out a play for him. Come on, do my makeup first. , paint your face yellow to avoid letting this guy see his flaws! Changzhi, go out and greet him!"
"Yes, Prime Minister!" Hei Te Changzhi couldn't help but sigh. He didn't like acting, but what could he do? Now that he has won the trust of Onimuro Fukunobu, he must repay this trust. In life, he will always do something he doesn't like.
"How is the condition of the Prime Minister now?" Fuyu Zhongsheng looked sad and his voice trembled slightly, as if he was asking about the condition of his parents. This was a skill he learned when he was in Japan. Being a hostage made people grow up quickly, and they would die if they couldn't learn it.
"Still lying in bed, unable to get up!" Hei Te Changzhi suppressed the disgust in his heart and recited the lines he had prepared: "But you can already take the medicinal porridge!"
"That's good, that's good!" Buyeo Zhongsheng raised his hand and said, "God bless Baekje! If my brother and sister-in-law know the news, they will definitely be relieved!"
"The Prime Minister is in the front room, please come with me!" Heiji Changzhi didn't want to continue this useless conversation, and quickened his pace to get ahead of Fuyu Tadakatsu. Fuyu Tadakatsu noticed this detail, with a proud smile on his face.
The door was pushed open, and the room was filled with the unique bitter smell of herbs. Onimuro Fukunobu was lying on the brocade couch next to the bed, with a withered face. A maid was kneeling next to the brocade couch, feeding porridge, and saw Fuyu Tadakatsu enter the door. , Onimuro Fuxin struggled to get up, porridge water left from the corner of his mouth, making the front of his robe wet.
"Prime Minister, don't move. Just lie down and talk!" Fuyu Tadakatsu rushed forward, held Onimuro Fukunobu's arm, and pushed him back to the couch. His fingertips felt the strong muscles under his clothes. I already have a number in mind.
"I'm so old and incompetent that I actually fell off my horse... It's really a sin that Brother Laowang came to visit..." Onimuro Fukunobu's words were difficult and intermittent, as if he was about to die.
"What did the Prime Minister say? The public said that the Prime Minister has made great contributions to the establishment of the country; the private said that the Prime Minister is the brother's wife and brother, and both the public and private brothers should come to visit in person. It's just that state affairs are at hand and cannot be separated. Zhou Liu, that’s why he asked me to come here on his behalf! Please don’t be offended by the Prime Minister!” As he spoke, Fuyu Tadakatsu pretended to arrange the front of Onimuro Fukunobu’s clothes, pulled open a corner of his collar, and discovered that the other party’s face was The skin was much sallower than the throat, and I couldn't help but smile to myself.
Fuyu Zhongsheng chatted a few more words, and suddenly pretended to be unintentional and asked Heiji Changzhi: "General Heiji, I am afraid that the Prime Minister will not be able to personally take charge of military affairs. What is the situation in Rencun City these days?" Who can take my place temporarily?"
"This -" Hei Tejisangzhi was stunned. Onimuro Fukunobu was pretending to be ill. Naturally, no one in the city would be in charge of military affairs for him. Moreover, he did not expect Fuyu Tadakatsu to ask this question in advance, so naturally there was no agreement. Subconsciously, he looked towards the ghost room Fuxin on the bed.
"Is it possible that there is no temporary replacement? How can that be done?" Fuyu Zhongsheng pretended to be angry: "If the Tang Dynasty comes over at this time, do you just sit back and wait for death? What a nonsense! Go and arrest the city's general Sado Recruit him so that the Prime Minister can choose a temporary replacement!"
"Yes, yes!" Black Teeth Changzhi glanced at Onimuro Fuxin who was lying on the bed, confirmed that the other party had no objection, and then hurried out to find someone.
