Chapter 30: The Story of Nasuno
Prince Nao was lying in a rice field, covered in mud. He had a mud-covered stone on the back of his head, with only a pair of nostrils and half-open, half-closed eyes exposed.
There was a "poof" sound of boots stepping on the thin mud beside him, and Prince Nao hurriedly closed his eyes. It felt like there were a lot of people walking back and forth around him, and even a spear almost stabbed him in the foot. Prince Nao lay in the muddy water and did not move, and he thought that he was already a dead man. No matter how chaotic the surroundings are, they are even ready to be added to the sword and axe.
Luckily for him, a carpet search didn't find him. Gong Along's two vicious dogs are still in Fukuoka, otherwise the mastiff with a sensitive nose and a special love for human flesh will turn him out.
Yun Xiao sat in the handsome room, his plain silk robe embroidered with goose-yellow hibiscus flowers. A good night's sleep made his eyes seem to be full of energy batteries. His hand tapped on the table, and he looked playfully at the generals standing below.
Below stood the cramped and restless Dayuanjun and the angry goshawk. The mood of the new old man was completely different on his face, after all, Dayuanjun was a newcomer and a rebel. Naturally, I was worried that Yun Xiao would suspect that he intended to let the prince go, and the goshawk was the old man in the family. The kind of qualifications that are so old that they are bubbling up naturally lack that cover in front of Yun Xiao.
"Haven't found it yet?" Yun Xiao asked nonchalantly.
Although Prince Zhi is also important, Yun Xiao has not yet taken it into his eyes. He now had a string of Japanese prisoners in his hands, and the defense of Kyoto must have been very empty. After a few days of rest, Fukuoka sent reinforcements. It was enough to blow open the gates of Kyoto with a gunpowder crossbow and rush in to kill the emperor. Even if a straight prince has the spirit of a king, he can't turn the sky upside down.
"Up and down the mountain, including all the paddy fields, have been rummaged. None of them were found, and the last general was derelict in his duties and asked Hou Ye to punish him. ”
The goshawk leaned over and saluted. With reluctance on his face. The courtyard gentleman was silent on the side, and when he saw the goshawk asking for sin, he hurriedly followed suit.
It's just a mourning dog, don't be busy. This battle made everyone very hard, and the army rested for three days and marched to Kyoto.
Yun Xiao planned to capture the thief Xianqin Wang, facing a large number of county magistrates and township magistrates. As long as the emperor is killed, Yun Xiao is not afraid that they will not surrender.
"Forget it. It's just a disease of scabies. The herald ordered a three-day rest, and then surrounded Kyoto. Give that Emperor Jimmu some time, and let him gather the diehards to fight with us. ”
More than half of the main force of the Guards has been annihilated, and more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers from Kyoto have also been annihilated. Emperor Jimmu must have summoned his men to resist stubbornly and asked him to gather his generals. It is far better than Yun Xiao laboring and looking for them one by one, as for those who are riding on the wall at this time. Let Dai Yu deal with them, after all, he is the default governor of Dongying in his heart.
"Master Hou, Prince Zhi didn't catch it. But I caught this guy. As soon as the courtyard gentleman waved his hand, Fusang outside the tent brought in a guy with a blue nose and swollen face and ragged clothes.
Poor Minamoto Yoshikyo hid in the captives for a night. He thought that by changing into the clothes of an ordinary Japanese soldier, he could avoid being killed. Unexpectedly, the Hyogo soldiers hated him to the bone. It was he who ordered an indiscriminate attack at Shimonoseki, causing heavy casualties among the Hyogo soldiers.
His sinful image was imprinted in the minds of every Hyogo soldier, and he could hide for a while while it was dark. But as soon as it was dawn, he was immediately recognized. The punches and kicks of the Hyogo soldiers made his nose blue and his face swollen. The clothes on his body were also torn apart, and Yun Xiao estimated that he could directly use them to make dun cloth.
"Who is he?"
"Hou Ye, he is the commander of the Guards in the Xiaguan Blockade Battle. His name is Yoshikyo Minamoto. He was an important minister of Emperor Jimmu. ”
"Oh, it's you bastard who killed so many of Benhou's subordinates." Yun Xiao selectively ignored the fact that Dayuan-kun was the commander-in-chief. Families need to be united. The command of the art of war of this courtyard monarch is quite similar to his own, and there are many useful places in the future.
"Master Hou!" Yuan Yijing seemed to see the hope of living, and immediately knelt down and walked a few steps to kneel in front of Yun Xiao, but was kicked over by Tie Wei.
"Pull it down, and the five horses will be separated." Yun Xiao didn't give him a chance to speak, this guy was no longer important to Yun Xiao. Kill him for the goshawk. As well as the casualties, the family will give an explanation. You can't slaughter the compound that has already surrendered!
"Master Hou! I have an important military intelligence report...... "Yuan Yijing can understand what Yun Xiao is saying, and there is no language barrier at all. He knew that the best way to survive was to prove that he was useful. Dayuanjun, this guy has already taken refuge in Yun Xiao, and then he will talk about Dayuanjun, and Yun Xiao will not kill him. Dayuanjun will also have a black hand, and at this time, the matter of Dayuanjun must not be mentioned.
"Oh! There is important military intelligence. Tell me that Ben Hou is satisfied and spare your life. Yun Xiao looked at Yuan Yijing, who was kneeling on the ground, picked up by the iron guard and about to be dragged out.
"Master Xie! The last general ......"
"What identity can you call yourself the last general in front of Ben Hou?" As soon as Yuan Yijing spoke, Yun Xiao opened his mouth to reprimand. Not everyone can claim to be the last general in front of themselves. If Yun Xiao gave him this title, it would prove that Yun Xiao accepted his surrender.
"Yes, yes...... Villain, the day before yesterday, when he reported to His Majesty the Emperor in Kyoto about the siege of Prince Nao. It just so happened that he met Prince Li, the commander of the naval army, and His Majesty seemed to be very taboo about Prince Li, and now Prince Li has been placed under house arrest in the palace. If Hou Ye releases the villain, the villain is willing to go to Yokosuka and persuade the navy to surrender to Hou Ye. ”
Gen Yoshikyo told the bottom of what he had encountered in Kyoto, and Yun Xiao listened with interest. The Prince Rei, who could fight, was also arrested, and the speed at which Emperor Jimmu destroyed the Great Wall was enough. The navy is really a problem for his own henchmen, and nearly 10,000 people have to rely on the sea to eat and chew. In particular, the Yun family mainly fights with bows and crossbows, and the pressure on logistics is very great.
This new situation explains why the Dongying Naval Army, which had dealt a heavy blow to Yunxiao, disappeared and looked for traces. These days, ships from Busan to Tsushima and from Tsushima to Fukuoka have not been disturbed. The sea of Dongying is so unobstructed, like the heart of a young girl in Sichun.
"Then tell me, will your Emperor Xià put Prince Li to death?" Yun Xiao's hand banged on the table, and he lowered his head and asked Origin Yoshikyo.
"This villain doesn't know, but Emperor Jimmu is the most suspicious today. At that time, Prince Li was a powerful contender for the throne, and His Majesty the Emperor had always been suspicious of Prince Li. ”
"Oh! That's it! Yun Xiao's eyes rolled, and suddenly a plan was born.
"Escort him down, since there is a meritorious service table. The five horses were dismembered and changed to ......"
Yuan Yijing's eyes showed a light of hope, and his life and death depended on this Hou Ye's thoughts.
"It's better to change it to beheading, so that he will suffer less crimes."
"Master Hou spares your life, you said that as long as you are satisfied, you can bypass the villain and not die. You can't? The villain can go to Yokosuka to recruit the precipitation army......"
"Ben Hou said that he was satisfied with the answer, and Ben Hou spared you. But Ben Hou is not satisfied with your answer, and besides, it has not been changed to beheading. What else do you want, if I give you over to the goshawk. I'm afraid that he is going to pick your heart and liver again, and when you get to his hands, you will know what it means to survive and not to die. ”
Yun Xiao waved his hand, and Tie Wei ignored Yuan Yijing, who was struggling to scratch the ground. Dragged him out hard, his scratched nails leaving deep grooves in the ground.
The relationship between Dayuanjun and Prince Li is not harmonious, and it is not appropriate for Dayuanjun to do it. If you don't get things right, it will be counterproductive.
An image of a person appeared in Yun Xiao's mind, after retiring from the courtyard king and the goshawk. So he paced to the back camp, where a woman lived. A woman that Yunxiao needs.
Aiko was lonely outside the tent, the warm sun shining on her face. The slight mountain breeze blew the scent of grass, and I had been to Nasuno many years ago. It was when she was a child, listening to the elders of the family tell the story of Tamamo.
Once upon a time, she admired the fox with its nine tails. But now, Nasuno is still that Nasuno. The mountain wind is still the mountain wind, and the meadow is still the meadow. It's just that the scent of grass is mixed with the slightest smell of blood, which is the blood of the Japanese people.
She had listened to screams all night last night, and she was so frightened that she couldn't sleep. This morning, she saw the mountain-like human heads. Many wore Guards helmets, and even more were scattered across the mountains searching for the fleeing Guards. After being caught, most of them are stabbed in the head.
She thought that her husband's defeat was due to incompetence, and that the strong guards of the Wa Kingdom would definitely be able to defeat these arrogant Han Chinese. She also wondered if the Hou Ye of the Han people would send herself to sue for peace at that time.
Things turned out completely beyond her expectations, and Dongying was defeated. His uncle's army was defeated, worse than her husband's.
Nasuno's dirt was soaked in the blood of the guards, and if she really wanted to kill Tamamo out of the stone. Kill all these bloodthirsty Han people in front of you, and help the courtyard monarch to abuse.
Aiko, who was sitting cross-legged, didn't like it or hate, and looked at the one in front of him blankly. Her heart was completely desolate, and she didn't dare to face this cruel image again.
Aiko stood up, and when she turned around, she found Yun Xiaozhen standing behind her. A pair of eyes looked at him uncertainly, and the startled Aiko shivered deeply.
"Hou ...... Master Hou! Aiko saluted to Yunxiao. Although he hated this person in his heart, after all, his own life and that of his family were in his hands. If you offend him, you will probably make your life and that of your family worse than death.
"Why are you so distracted?" Yun Xiao took a breath of the grass-scented air and did a chest expansion exercise. There was a trace of bloody gas in it, which seemed to make Yun Xiao a little excited.
"I didn't ...... Didn't think about anything! ”
The thing in front of Tamamo was during the period of Emperor Toba, and I got here just to set it off. Don't take it seriously, everyone. (To be continued......)
