Chapter 769: The Beginning of the Great War

Across the strait of the Tozen country is the Shimonoseki camp on the main island of the Japanese country, which is stationed in half of the elite troops of the Japanese country all the year round, and the number is as many as 100,000 at the most, and it was sent to the north of the island to fight against the Ezo people three months ago, but the Ezo people really did not need to fight, and they did not hold out for more than a month and collapsed, and those Japanese troops should have returned a long time ago.

Although Zhen Qian did not know the distribution of the Japanese army, he knew that the Japanese army in the Xiaguan military camp was the strongest one, and it was also the army that Silla and the Japanese opposition feared the most, and it had not even started a war with Silla until now.

Now Zhen Qian didn't bother to guess why, seeing that the Silla Kingdom was approaching the Fengqian Kingdom, even a dead person might not be able to sit still at this time.

If the Toyozen Kingdom is really occupied by the Silla Kingdom, then Zhen Qian can only think that Fujiwara Nakamaro is ready to give up Saikaido, and this possibility is not impossible.

Fujiwara Nakamaro's biggest enemy is not the Silla Kingdom, but the opposition that has always been against Fujiwara Nakamaro, these people are hidden in the shadows, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, under normal circumstances, Fujiwara Nakamaro will not let go of these people at all, and it is possible to temporarily abandon the entire Saikaido.

Did the Silla Congress and the Wakoku opposition share Seekaido?

The answer is obviously impossible, and the contradiction lies in the fact that no one can be allowed to snore next to the couch, not by the Silla State, nor by the Japanese Opposition Party.

And the time when the contradiction broke out should be when the Silla Kingdom attacked the Toyozen Kingdom!

Zhen Qian waited quietly, very much wanting to know how the three parties were going to play their cards next in this game.

In fact, the war has been going on so far, and it is no longer a contest of the strength of the three parties, but a political game, and war has always served politics. Zhen Qian, a half-insider and half-outsider, doesn't understand, this is the difference between position and height, so he can only wait and see what happens.

However, Zhen Qian did not wait long, Liu Liang and Zhen Jiu hurriedly returned, bringing Zhen Qian an expected and unexpected news: the first batch of 50,000 troops of Fujiwara Nakamaro had appeared in Fengqian Kingdom, and 30,000 troops were gathering in the future.

At this time, the strength of the Silla Kingdom also increased to 70,000, and the 70,000 Silla army set up a decisive battle against the 80,000 Japanese army in the Punzen Kingdom, and a major war was about to break out.

At this time, Shao Er Dongshang, who had been silent for almost two months, also made a move, and actually gathered 30,000 miscellaneous troops and pounced on the Higo Kingdom, which could not resist at all, and retreated to the Fenghou Kingdom, and joined forces with the Fenghou Kingdom, barely blocking the attack of the Young Er Dongshang.

However, Shao Er Dongshang's dispatch of troops at this time was interesting, which made the entire battlefield appear a strange scene.

If a war is compared to a fight between two people, the appearance of a third party next to it will inevitably cause great pressure on both sides who are fighting to the death, and it is necessary to be vigilant against the actions of the third party at all times, so as not to lose both sides in the end and gain the fisherman.

"Tell me, why did Shao Er Dongshang choose to send troops at this time?" Zhen Qian asked.

Liu Liang's sniper mission was completed very well, perhaps because the bow and crossbow were very tightly guarded in this era, but he did not understand the characteristics of the musket, so Liu Liang successfully approached the enemy's senior generals within 200 steps, and killed four generals below the deputy general of the Japanese army in a row.

But the good luck ended here, when preparing to kill the fifth senior general, the other party's precautions were very thorough, although Liu Liang successfully found an opportunity, but there was still a little trouble, besieged by the other party's senior generals, if it wasn't for Zhen Jiu's side to respond, Liu Liang would probably be captured.

The musket sniper distance in this era is only 200 paces, and Liu Liang can't guarantee the hit rate beyond this distance.

This sniping is also a very good training opportunity for Liu Liang, the mountainous terrain of Xikaido gives Liu Liang a lot of protection, if it is in the city, in the barracks and on the plains, Liu Liang has no chance to snipe senior generals at all.

"This time, both the Silla Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom have dispatched the most elite troops, and the outcome is difficult to predict, at this time, Shao Erdong Shang is a little unwise to send troops, and the purpose is unknown, which has made Fujiwara Nakamaro vigilant, and it is difficult to take chestnuts from the fire?" Liu Liang said.

But the problem is that Shao Er Dongshang has already sent troops, and it is impossible not to know this.

Zhen Jiu couldn't be sure: "Could it be that Shao Erdong still doesn't want this war to end as soon as possible?" ”

"Makes sense!" Zhen Qian also knew that this war between Silla and the Japanese would be more beneficial to the Japanese opposition the longer it dragged on, and it could even be said that it was equally beneficial to Zhen Qian.

It's just that Shao Er Dongshang is doing this, and the changes on the battlefield are very weird.

Zhen Qian looked at the map in front of him, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart, if this war drags on for too long, I'm afraid that the first one who can't hold it should be Silla, judging from the situation in Zhen Gan's hands now, the national strength of Silla simply can't support such a long war.

Then Silla must be hoping for a quick victory, but Fujiwara Nakamaro wants to? Is Shao Erdong still willing?

At this time, an inconspicuous news came from Kim Yong-san that Da Xixun, the mediation envoy of the Tang Dynasty Rite Department, appeared in the Toyozen Kingdom, hoping that the Silla Kingdom and the Japanese Kingdom would make a truce, and preparing to go to the Japanese Kingdom Kyoto to meet the Emperor and the Great Nayan Fujiwara Nakamaro, hoping that the two sides could sit down and negotiate a truce.

"Datang's mediation envoys are really stupid, at this time the two sides are already ready to fly, and they will not stop until they know the winner. Silla wants to maintain the current occupation zone, claiming that Sekaido is the inherent territory of Silla and that it is the land of Silla that the Wa State forcibly occupies. Zhen Jiu said with a smile.

"The Japanese state demanded that the Silla state withdraw from the occupied territory and compensate the Japanese state with five million taels of gold as war compensation, otherwise they would swear to fight the capital of the Silla state!" Liu Liang also plays with taste.

Zhen Qian was also speechless, the war has been fought to this point, and the two countries can't stop at all, even if Silla wants to make a truce, will the Japanese Congress agree?

Just when Zhen Qian was guessing the next step of the two sides, the Japanese state suddenly launched the first attack on the army of Silla, and the two sides fought on land for the first time, so they invested 100,000 troops, and the battle lasted for a whole day.

When the news came, Zhen Qian was taken aback, he didn't expect that Silla still had such combat effectiveness and could reach a draw with the Japanese army.

"Shao Erdong still hasn't done anything?"

"Nope! Shao Er Dongshang has been quietly stationed on the border of Higo and Toyogo, harassing Toyogo from time to time, and there is no change? Zhen Jiu also couldn't understand it.

"What the hell are Silla and Fujiwara Nakamaro doing?" Zhen Qian didn't believe in the rise of Silla and Fujiwara Nakamaro at all, after this war, Sekaido was completely devastated, could this be the result that the Japanese opposition wanted to see?
