Chapter 809: Armistice

The recapture of Songpu Castle did not escape Zhen Qian's calculations, the strategic location of Songpu Castle was too important, and controlling Songpu Castle was equivalent to controlling the four Lingyu countries west of Sekaido, which was not only a matter of strategic space, but also related to the grain and grass plundered by the Silla Army in various places, once Songpu Castle changed hands, the Silla Army would be completely annihilated.

Zhen Qian didn't want to let the Silla army be wiped out at this time!

The existence of the Silla Army is an important chess piece for balancing the forces of all sides in Seekaido, and as long as the Silla Army does not disappear in Seikaido, Seikaido will not be able to settle down for a day.

The spring cold is steep, the buds have been pulled out of the branches, and a few unknown birds are looking down to comb their feathers, and from time to time they make a few chirps.

Zhen Gan was covered with a Persian blanket, his eyes were slightly squinted, and the soft light shot down from the sparse vine frame, and landed right on Zhen Gan's body, speckled as if there were countless elves jumping.

A delicate woman, snow-white soft wattle holding a navy blue porcelain bowl, a white porcelain spoon sent to Zhen Qian's mouth, red wolfberries and dates, white white fungus and lotus seeds, a faint sweetness is smooth but not greasy.

Another woman sat at Zhen Qian's feet, the needle and thread in her hand shuttled quickly, vaguely as if she was sewing a pink obscene clothes, her eyes turned to Zhen Qian who was pretending to sleep from time to time, with a seductive smile on the corner of her mouth, and a touch of blush on both sides of her cheeks.

"Sister Yali, it's been the first few days, why hasn't there been any news from Sister Qingyan and Sister Aoiji?" The delicate woman was Xiaolian, and she gently wiped the soup on Zhen Qian's mouth with a handkerchief.

At this time, Zhen Qian opened his eyes, raised his hand to block the light that was shooting down, and said: "What's the hurry, the people sent out have only been gone for four or five days, even if there is any news, it is a matter of these two days." ”

"Can you not be in a hurry?"

Xiaolian pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "Shaoer Dongshang has already sent troops there, the coalition army has already controlled the five Linglu countries, and the strength has reached sixty or seventy thousand, and the next step should be to attack Chikugo and Fengzen countries, once the coalition forces advance to Hizen country, won't Lang Jun's plan become someone else's wedding dress?" ”

"What do you think......!"

Zhen Qian twisted his head to Xiaolian, stretched his legs hidden in the Persian blanket forward, rested on Liu Yali's thighs, and his hands poked out of the blanket, and quietly touched the ...... under Xiaolian's skirt.

What views and suggestions can Liu Yali and Xiaolian have, the two of them consider the problem, most of the time it is to measure whether Zhen Qian suffers losses and how much benefit he can get, especially after hearing that the coalition army led by Shao Er Dongshang has been victorious, many famous lords have submitted to Shao Er Dongshang, if it weren't for the fact that there was something disgraceful between Shao Er Dongshang and the Silla army, the two sides would not have cooperated so tacitly in terms of strategic intentions, and they would not have been touched by famous masters other than Shao Er Dongshang's forces at all.

Once the Silla army retreats from Seekaido, according to the current cooperation between the two sides, Zhen Qian has no hope of occupying Hizen Province at all.

Now all hopes are pinned on Kwai Ji, or rather, on Rui'er born to Zhen Qian and Kwai Ji, otherwise Zhen Qian has no reason to make wedding dresses for others.

"I heard that Shaoji Ichijin has become the guardian of the Toyogo country, and the Higo country has also been divided between the Satsuma country and the Hyuga country, and the Silla army intends to give up the Toyozen country and the Chikuzen country, and then the Silla army will only be left with the Chikuzen country and the Hizen country, and the Silla national naval division in the Toyozen country is also returning to the port of Karatsu, will this war end soon?"

"Hmm!"

Zhen Qian raised his eyes, sat up from the recliner, smiled, and beckoned to the person who spoke: "When did Mr. Kong come back, sit down quickly, and tell me how about this trip to Silla Kingdom?" ”

The person who spoke just now was Kong Ni, who had gone to Silla more than a month ago, and I thought that I would have to wait a while before I could come back.

When Xiaolian heard this, she hurriedly gave up her seat to Kong Ni, poured a cup of tea for Kong Ni, and quietly retreated with Liu Yali.

"Congratulations to the island owner, Matsuura Castle, on his victory! Kill Li Chen, the main general of the Silla Army, and seize a large amount of supplies and ......supplies", as soon as Kong Ni came back, he heard the news of the great victory of Songpu City, and then thought that his plan would soon succeed, and said with a smile: "My subordinates heard that the lord of Silla has the consciousness of withdrawing from the army, and is asking the Tang Dynasty to mediate and negotiate with the Wa State, and is willing to give up Tsushima Island and Iki Island. ”

Zhen Qian didn't hear a little news in Sehaedo, but judging from the signs of the Silla army shrinking its defensive line and plundering on a large scale, the Silla army should not be too far away from retreating.

It seems that the Silla army is preparing to hand over the entire Seekaido to the Japanese opposition after he leaves Seokkaido, although on the surface Silla was defeated, and it also did the Japanese opposition a great favor, but from a long-term strategic point of view, Silla is equivalent to planting a time bomb in the Wa country.

Coupled with the plundering of the Silla army in Seekaido, it is difficult to say whether Seekaido can recover within ten years, so it seems that Silla did not lose this war.

The Japanese opposition controlled the entire Saikaido, and with the power to compete with Fujiwara Nakamaro, the Japanese opposition also got the benefits they wanted.

The most tragic thing is Fujiwara Nakamaro, and with the appearance of the co-subordinate army led by Wang Tianxing in the north of the Wa Kingdom, a large number of weapons and equipment were provided to the Ezo people for a fee, and the Ezo people began to launch a series of attacks in the north of the main island of the Wa Kingdom, coupled with the loss of Saikaido and Shikoku Island, Fujiwara Nakamaro's prestige in the Wa Kingdom was hit unprecedentedly.

The war has been going on so far, and it is not beneficial for either side to continue fighting, and Fujiwara Nakamaro's idea of destroying the Silla army as soon as possible is basically unrealizable, unless Fujiwara Nakamaro can mobilize troops from the northern part of the Wa Kingdom again, but once the northern part of the Wa Kingdom is empty, the Ezo people will drive straight in, and at that time, the Wa country itself is really completely erosive, and Fujiwara Nakamaro is not so crazy.

Since it can't be fought, then it can only negotiate, which is not beyond everyone's expectations, not only the Silla country and Fujiwara Nakamaro want to negotiate, but even the Japanese opposition will be almost unable to support it, and a completely erosive Saikaido will not help, but will become a drag.

Only Zhen Qian hopes that this war will continue, but this idea is not realistic at all, unless both sides are crazy, and in the case of equal strength, negotiations are just preparations for the next big war, and both sides need time to recuperate.

"Since the two countries are going to negotiate, doesn't that mean that our opportunity has come?"
