The warships docked, and the Tang soldiers lined up on the shore, and five guns were removed from each ironclad ship, which was a total of sixty, which was covered by the curtains, and followed the Tang soldiers forward. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Osaka's butler was tied up and held outside Osaka Castle.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty wore bright light armor and rode tall horses, shining under the sun, like divine soldiers and generals who fell from the sky.

"Yushiba Fujiyoshi meets General Datang!" He escaped the bombardment of the city gates, and he was not a loyal man. Seeing that the Tang Dynasty broke the city, he rushed into the public house and tied up the officials and dedicated them to the Tang Dynasty.

"Who are you?" Li Xiaogong asked.

"The commander of the guards of the Four Heavenly Kings Temple, seeing that the power of the Tang Dynasty was irresistible, he led the crowd to surrender." Yushiba Fujiyoshi saluted Li Xiaogong and said: "This is the public house of Osaka Castle, and I have come to dedicate it to the general to show my sincerity. ”

Li Xiaogong nodded, and asked again, "Where is the city guard?" ”

"Back to the words of the Tang general, Osaka Castle Shouben was Masanaga Masashi, and when he defended the city, he was struck by thunder on the castle tower." Yushiba Fujiyoshi replied.

Li Xiaogong glanced around, rode forward, walked in front of the officials who were tied up, and said to them: "The Wa Kingdom and China (the ancient meaning refers to the country of the Central Plains, not the meaning of later generations) have always been friendly. At the time of the former Sui, the country sent the Sui envoy to Chang'an, and the former Sui treated him well, taught him etiquette and law, taught all kinds of skills, and learned his teachings, so that there is today. I have always been friendly with the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Treat the nations with the gift of a holy king. The country sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to cultivate the Tang Dynasty, so His Majesty chose the place of the country's eunuch and set up the Sifang Academy to teach Er. Erguo connived at pirates to plunder Datang, and I, Datang, have never blamed him. However, how does Erguo treat Datang? ! ”

Li Xiaogong suddenly raised his voice, which frightened those who were tied up, but he heard Li Xiaogong say again: "The pirates of the country kidnapped my Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty did not blame you and others, but just taught you and others to find people back." This king trained sailors in the Ryukyus, and came to pick up the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty at the behest of His Majesty. In order not to think too much about the court and the people of the country, they did not bring more warships, but only ten sea-going ships. But how did Kerr do it?! ”

Li Xiaogong shouted and asked, and he didn't dare to raise his head when those people asked.

"Instead of being unashamed, Er Guo attacked this king, burned the ships of the Tang Dynasty sailors, and intended to kill this king along with Jingyang Hou! If it weren't for the fact that this king and Jingyang Hou took advantage of the chaos to pull two trampled corpses to change their clothes, they would have escaped, and now they would have been the souls of the Wa Kingdom! Li Xiaogong screamed sharply and reprimanded: "Erguo has come to this day, and it is all caused by Erguo!" However, this king knows that you can't wait for the ministers, and the affairs of the court and the central government are not beyond the control of these people. Therefore, today this king gives you a chance to wait and not kill you. Then go to the city, gather the people, and tell the people in the city that the Tang soldiers are not bandits, and they will not do anything to innocent people, let alone take the slightest bit of the people. So that the people of the city should not be afraid, but guard their homes. If he finds that there are people in the Tang army who have bullied innocent people, or plundered people's things, they will be reported to the army, and the king should be dealt with by military law. If someone takes advantage of the chaos to make trouble, or does something that hurts the people, whether it is a sergeant of the Tang Army or a Japanese in the city, they can also be sued in the army, and the king should be righteous for the people. However, the benevolence and righteousness of the Tang Dynasty are only for innocent people, and those who have different intentions should be weighed up. Come and let them go. ”

Immediately, a Tang soldier ran over from behind and untied those people.

"Go, and tell the people what the king has just said." Li Xiaogong waved at the men.

Those people were just small sesame officials, and they were already frightened when they were arrested and sacrificed in front of the city. At this moment, seeing that Li Xiaogong let them go, he immediately hurriedly did so.

Seeing those people running away, Li Xiaogong turned around and ordered the Tang soldiers: "Gentlemen, enter the city!" ”

"Yes!" Thousands of Tang soldiers behind him shouted in unison, and then entered Osaka under the leadership of Li Xiaogong and Xia Hongsheng.

The Tang army occupied Osaka, the Japanese government and the opposition were shocked, some manpower owners desperately counterattacked and recaptured Osaka, and some manpower owners apologized to the Tang State and sued for peace. The Imperial Court of the Japanese Kingdom laid a defensive line between Osaka and Fujiwara-kyo and Nakazumi Kamazu and Soga Irishika also gathered tens of thousands of troops each, and together with the 100,000 Japanese army, they marched towards Osaka in an attempt to recapture Osaka and defeat the Tang army.

"100,000 ......" Li Xiaogong put down the intelligence of the spy and said in his mouth: "Can there still be so many soldiers in the Japanese country now?" ”

"The Wa Kingdom is prevalent in supporting generals and samurai, and each family has some of them, plus the defeated soldiers gathered and the conscripted people, this number is still there." Xia Hongsheng thought for a while and said: "There are 3,000 sailors and soldiers in Osaka, and if you want to fight against the 100,000 people of this Japanese country, it is estimated that you will have to dismantle some more artillery." ”

"What about the 100,000 Japanese army? Dingxiang was also more than 100,000 people back then, didn't Senior Brother Yao still take 3,000 men and horses to conquer Dingxiang? More than 10,000 Turkic tents were killed by Su Dingfang with 120 people and fled in all directions? Li Xiaogong smiled very contemptuously, and was very disdainful of the 100,000 Japanese army, and said: "The best thing for the Tang Dynasty soldiers is to attack more with less!" ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "Even so, you can't be careless about the enemy. After all, the Osaka Castle Gate was blown up and hasn't been repaired yet. Fujiwara-kyo is not far from Osaka, so it is too late to build the castle walls. ”

"Hahahaha...... This king was quick for a while, and he blew up the Osaka city wall, which was a bad thing. Li Xiaogong said with a smile, having said that, he didn't regret it at all, and said: "In this way, we have to block these 100,000 people halfway." What does the virtuous nephew think? ”

Xia Hongsheng was about to answer, but saw Li Xiaogong and smiled again: "Wait, why don't you and I follow the example of Zhuge and Zhou Yu, and each book in our hands, how about it?" ”

"Good!" Xia Hongsheng happily agreed, went over and took a pen, and handed it to Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong first wrote a few words in his hand, and then handed the pen to Xia Hongsheng. Xia Hongsheng took the pen and put a few words into his hand.

Putting down the pen, the two put their hands together and slowly unfolded them.

The two of them each looked at the other's hand, and when they read what was written in their hand, they looked at each other and smiled.

"Hahahaha, the virtuous nephew really thinks the same as this king!" Li Xiaogong laughed, and then turned his head and ordered: "Come, the generals of the king, the soldiers on the ironclad ship get off the boat and stay in Osaka, and the three thousand elite horsemen of the rear army will bring half of the artillery, projectiles and gunners, and follow the king to attack Fujiwara Kyo, and meet the enemy on the way!"
