Xikaido must be in chaos, and it is still a big chaos, only in the big chaos can Zhen Qian complete the impossible plan, obviously Fujiwara Shuxiong is not Zhen Qian's ideal candidate, even a few grain merchants can't deal with it, how can he compete for hegemony in the Japanese country?

Shao Er Dongshang is a completely different person, when he learned that the Tang envoy was sent to the country of Hizen in a storm at sea, he immediately led his troops to prepare to kill the Fujiwara clan, and his decisiveness can be seen, if it were not for the appearance of Zhen Qian, Shao Er Dongshang's plan would have been successful. Shao Erdong was still unlucky, and was caught by Zhen Qian, not to mention buying himself with gold and silver, and he didn't even blink an eyelid for fifteen thousand taels of gold.

Compared with when Fujiwara Shuxiong was treating the injured in Yangzhou, it was only a few hundred taels of gold at that time, and Fujiwara Shuxiong actually had a pain in his flesh for a while, and Zhen Qian looked down on Fujiwara Shuxiong at that time.

Money is something outside the body, and this sentence is easy to say, but it is not easy to do.

When Zhen Qian only met the Osumi Islands once, in order to get Zhen Qian's full help, Shao Erdong Shang casually gave the Osumi Islands to Zhen Qian, although there was a taste of a loser, at that time Zhen Qian knew that Shao Erdong Shang's plan was very big, and the Osumi Islands were not in his eyes at all.

Such a person's relationship is naturally more dangerous than Fujiwara Shuxiong, Shao Erdong still has the potential to be a hero, knowing that Zhen Qian and Fujiwara Shuxiong have a very shallow relationship, but pretending not to know, the battle plan for attacking Osumi Province was even more informed to Zhen Qian in advance, not worried that Zhen Qian would leak his secrets, if such a person is placed under Zhen Qian's hands, Zhen Qian will not hesitate to deal with it.

Fujiwara Shuxiong seemed to have quickly forgotten about the grain merchants, and discussed with Zhen Qian about the extermination of locusts and the collection of locusts, and finally said: "Zhen Lang, I just received a news that Shao Er Dongshang united Hyuga Province and Satsuma Province and attacked Osumi Province a few days ago, and the guardians of Osumi Country were defeated and died, and now they have occupied Osumi Country, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Zhen Qian pretended to be surprised and said, "What? Shaoji Tosho occupied Osumi Province, how could this be? ”

In fact, Fujiwara Brush Capture Hizen Province made a very bad start, without the permission of the imperial court, he launched a war against the surrounding Reichū country, and afterwards it was said that Fujiwara Nakamaro favored Fujiwara Brush Hero, which was a very dangerous signal, which made many of the guardians of Saikaido feel cold, and at the same time planted the seeds of instability for the chaos of Saikaido in the future.

Fujiwara Shuxiong took out an official document from his sleeve cage and handed it to Zhen Qian, Zhen Qian glanced through the ten lines and put it back on the table, the worried look on his face made Fujiwara Shuxiong feel a little uneasy.

"Zhen Lang! What's wrong? ”

The sadness on Zhen Qian's face became even more, and he said with a heavy heart: "Fujiwara-kun is about to have a big incident, don't you see anything from this official document?" ”

"Now Saikaido is going to be in chaos!" Fujiwara Brush Male is also keenly aware of a trace of uneasiness, Hyuga and Satsuma jointly sent troops to attack Osumi Country, of course, the excuse is high-sounding, but people who understand know in their hearts that these are just excuses, what really worries people is not Shaoer Dongshang, but Hyuga and Satsuma jointly send troops.

All sides of the Saikaido have always been dogs and teeth to restrain each other, just like a crab in a basket, no matter which crab wants to climb out of the basket, it will be dragged back into the basket by other crabs, this is the art of balancing power, and it is also the compromise method adopted by the Japanese court to balance the forces of all parties, so that either side cannot be strong, and there is no strength to threaten.

This pattern made Saikaido peaceful for a long time, and for a long time, although there were wars between the various reichū countries, they did not destroy the country, and this was because the strength of both sides could not be too strong.

"Prepare for war!"

"The next target of Hyuga and Satsuma is probably the Toyogo country and Chikugo country, this time the destruction of Osumi Province is just the beginning, the imperial court may condemn it, but nothing can be done ......", Zhen Qian glanced at Fujiwara Brusho meaningfully, since Fujiwara Nakamaro protected Fujiwara Brush, if you send troops at this time, it will inevitably cause opposition from other forces in the court, why can Fujiwara Brusho invade Hizen Country, and Shaoji Dongshang can't occupy Osumi Country? It's a dead knot that can't be solved!

To untie the bell, you need to tie the bell!

In the final analysis, the Seikaido princely system of the Imperial Court itself planted the seeds of instability, and the imperial court only had nominal rule in Seikaido, and whether the guardians listened or not was another matter entirely.

The reason why there was no such thing as the destruction of the law country before was not because the other guardians did not want to, it was entirely because none of the forces on all sides were strong enough to swallow each other in one bite. Saikaido was originally a land with a vast land, sparse population, and not rich in products, and it was completely impossible for such a place to emerge as a powerful vassal state without hundreds of years of accumulation.

At this time, Zhen Qian appeared, and Shaoer Dongshang's mistake made him lose the Hizen country, but the most fundamental reason was that Zhen Qian completely defeated the living force of the young Erdongshang at one time, so that Fujiwara Shuxiong had the opportunity to occupy the Hizen country.

Fujiwara Shuxiong's official document only wrote the news of the defeat of Osumi Country, but Zhen Qian knew in his heart what was going on, even if Hyuga Country and Satsuma Country jointly sent troops to attack Osumi Country, under normal circumstances, Osumi Country would not be defeated so quickly, and there was every opportunity to ask for help from other Linglu countries, and when other Linglu countries sent troops to contain Hyuga Country and Satsuma Country, and then someone reconciled from it, Osumi Country had no worries about destroying the country at all.

However, after Shaoji Yizhen recounted the entire battle of Osumi Province, it turned out to be roughly the same as the battle situation deduced by Zhen Qian, and the Osumi Province did not fall behind in its frontal resistance to Hyuga Province and Satsuma Province, at least in a short period of time.

In fact, whether it is a war between cold weapons or a war of hot weapons in later generations, as long as the situation of equal strength, it is often impossible to decide the winner in a short period of time, as long as you think about the wars in history, you can find that the war is a contest of wills and logistics in the final analysis, and if you want to defeat the opponent quickly in a short time, as long as the commander of the other party is not a mediocre talent like Zhao Kuo on paper, it is difficult to do it.

Osumi Province itself did not expect that Hyugaku and Satsuma Province would capture Kagoshi Castle in a very short time, and when thunderbolts filled the gates of Kagoshi Castle, a loud thunderous sound completely blew up the defenders of Osumi Province .......

When Shao Eryi Zhen's eyebrows danced in front of Zhen Qian, he was still full of shock, the defenders of Osumi Kingdom in panic were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and the guardian of Osumi Country was standing on the head of the city at that time, after the explosion sounded, when the combined forces of Hyuga and Satsuma rushed into Kagoer City, they were captured alive before they abandoned the city and fled, and the losses of the coalition forces were completely negligible.
