"It doesn't look like a Baekje! It doesn't look like a Japanese either!" Wang Wenzuo frowned, thinking to himself that he looked a bit like a European from later generations.
"They should be the barbarians on the Japanese island!" He Bayong said: "I have heard from the Japanese prisoners that there are many barbarians on the big island where they live, and they often come to plunder their villages. Their king also often sends troops. Conquer those barbarians, and some barbarian leaders will surrender to their king after being defeated!"
"It's possible!" Wang Wenzuo slapped his head: "Isn't that monk Dinghui also in the army? Call him over quickly and see if everything becomes clear!"
——————————————————————
"Yes, this person is an Ezo man, living in the east. The bow and arrow he uses are the Diao bow and arrows in your country's ancient books. They are the most powerful!" After checking the corpse and the arrows, Donghui used He replied in a very definite tone.
"Why did the Eni people come to Baekje?" He Bayong's face looked a little unkind: "Aren't they the enemies of you Japanese people?"
Dinghui didn't seem to sense the hidden malice of He Ba Yong: "Colonel He Ba Yong doesn't know something! The Ezo people are divided into more than a hundred tribes, which do not belong to each other. They respect the strong. Some of them have already surrendered to our Yamato country. , and some are enemies of our country. General Abe Hirafu has repeatedly won battles against the Ezo people, and he has deep prestige among the Ezo people. He is the leader of this expedition, and he must have many Ezo people under his command!"
"If you are defeated, you will come out and work for your life. These Ezo people are not as tenacious and unyielding as you said!" He Bayong sneered.
"Colonel Heba doesn't know that General Ampere Hirafu is different from others. His mother is the daughter of an Ezo noble chief. She has the blood of the Ezo people, so the Ezo people regard her as one of their own. , so I am willing to follow him in the war. If it were anyone else, even the Ezo people who surrendered to our country would not go with him!"
"I see, it's no wonder! So, that Hirafu Ampere is also a famous general in your country?" Wang Wenzuo nodded, (Weber would like to add one more thing here, in fact, similar situations were very common in the early days of Chinese civilization. Commonly, for example, Duke Wen of Jin Chong'er, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, whose mother Hu Ji came from the Rong tribe, also married the daughter of his mother country Zhai (i.e. Di) during his escape. After Duke Wen of Jin returned to his country and succeeded to the throne, The relationship between Jin and Rongdi was well handled. Many Rongdi became allies of the Jin army, creating good conditions for Jin's hegemony. The reason was that the matrilineal society was not far away at that time, and my uncle's family The relationship is much closer than that of later generations. For example, the Han Dynasty's relatives and the descendants of the emperor himself are clan members and are included in the ancestral temple. However, the emperor's brothers each established a clan in the fiefdom and established a separate branch from a legal perspective. To the emperor, they were outsiders. .)
"Not bad!" Seeing Wang Wenzuo being so kind, Dinghui became more courageous: "The Eni people in the east are fierce and good at fighting. Few generals stationed there can stay for three years. They either die in battle or are defeated. Sin. Only Ampere Hirafu has been stationed in Dongtu for more than ten years. Not only has he not been defeated, but he has also continued to send troops on expeditions to win the surrender of distant barbarians!"
He Bayong listened impatiently and sneered: "You still call others barbarians without looking at what you are. It's like a crow falls on a pig's back and you make fun of others!"
Wang Wenzuo glanced at He Bayong, who was so frightened that He Bayong quickly lowered his head. After stopping his subordinates from drinking, Wang Wenzuo asked Monk Taiki again about the situation of Ezo and Abe Hirafu. He asked very detailed questions, even many trivial matters. After about half an hour, Wang Wenzuo asked Just then he nodded with satisfaction: "Zen Master, I have gained a lot this time. It is all thanks to you!"
"Don't dare!" Dinghui laughed quickly and said, "This is the duty of a poor monk!"
"Captain Heba!" Wang Wenzuo raised his voice: "Send Zen Master Dinghui to rest!"
"Yes!" He Bayong responded and bowed his hands to the Zen master: "Zen master, please!"
When the two people's departing figures disappeared into the darkness, Wang Wenzuo turned around and looked toward the camp gate. Only a vague outline of Rencun Mountain in the distance was left. The mountains and fields were all dark, and in the howling night wind Mixed with the chirping of birds and animals, it was as if I was alone in the wilderness and there was nothing else. At this time, a huge sense of emptiness seized Wang Wenzuo. In this land east of the sea, he led thousands of athletes to climb on the ice and lie in the snow, drink blood and grow their hair, risk arrows and stones, face sword-fighting, and fight hard for thousands of years. I'm afraid it would be nice if I could leave just one line of words on the bamboo paper. No, if we follow the original trajectory of history, most of my hard work will be in vain in the end, and maybe I will become a villain in a Korean drama who has been transformed beyond recognition.
"This is not possible, absolutely not!" Wang Wenzuo shouted loudly as if to refute a questioner in the void.
"Joining the army, what's wrong?"
Wang Wenzuo turned around and saw He Bayong standing there, his face full of curiosity. Apparently he had sent Ding Hui back.
"It's nothing, just a few nonsense words!" Wang Wenzuo quickly changed the subject: "Has the person been sent back?"
"It's delivered. I personally took him back to the tent and arranged two sentries!"
"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo nodded noncommittally, waiting for He Bayong to ask, but the other party did not speak, he just stood there with his eyes shining.
"What's wrong, why don't you ask me why I asked so many questions just now?"
"I thought joining the army would tell me, so I didn't ask!"
"Okay, okay, Heba, you have made great progress!" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Very good, being able to learn patience is the first step to growth. Okay, let me answer your question now, the Japanese are our primary enemies now, so I I want to know as much as possible!”
"The Japanese are the primary enemies?" He Bayong frowned: "Aren't they Baekje people?"
"No, maybe it was in the past, but not anymore!"
"I don't quite understand. As far as I know, most of the enemy troops here are Baekje, and the Japanese are only four thousand at most!"
"Hahaha!" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Let's go back to the fire first. It's getting late. If we go back later, there won't be anything left in the pot!"
Wang Wenzuo poured the last mouthful of porridge into his mouth and let out a long breath of satisfaction. What could be more comfortable than drinking a bowl of hot porridge after a hard day?
"Join the army, can you answer the question?" He Bayong sat opposite the fire, and the jumping firelight reflected on his face, giving him a funny feeling.
"Question? Yes, yes!" Wang Wenzuo stroked his beard habitually: "The reason is very simple, the Japanese are a guest army!"
"Guest troops?"
