Chapter 629: The Native of the Wa Kingdom
"Lord Wang, is it really King Yan?"
Su Dingfang was a little unconvinced, the edict of Dali Temple was designed by Li Yuanba, which can be said to be an iron wall, not to mention that the people inside can't get out, and even the people outside need to go through a lot of procedures if they want to enter.
Without the approval of Li Yuanba or Li Shimin, no one can enter!
"Day and night, house thieves are difficult to prevent!" Li Yuanba squeezed the gilded poster in his hand and said: "Although this king doesn't know how this guy sent this bronzing poster out of the edict of Dali Temple, but looking at this trace and seal, it does belong to Li You!" It seems that this matter has been checked for time! ”
"Lord Wang, what should I do next?" Zhao Sanpao saw that Li Yuanba's mood was a little wrong, and he was silent for a while before continuing: "Do you want to arrest all these guys and escort them back to Chang'an?" ”
"Well, arrest them all!" Li Yuanba suddenly had some meaning, because of this cannon, he went to Silla to conquer the Japanese kingdom, but he didn't expect this main reason to come from their Tang Li royal family.
There is cause and effect, as it is!
……
Jiyang City, in the city lord's mansion, the three brothers Li Ke and the high-ranking officials of the gods and guards all gathered together.
"Uncle Four Emperors, according to what you just said, those hand cannons and stone throwers and other drawings were all sold by Li You to the Wa Kingdom?"
Li Ke looked shocked, "But I can't figure it out, what is he selling these things for?" There is also the fact that according to Su I Ezo, the Wa Kingdom spent a full 1 million taels of silver, which is a lot of money, and his dignified Prince of the Tang Dynasty has no worries about food and clothing, food and clothing, what do you need so much money for? ”
"Third brother, look at what you said!" Li Ke glanced at him. said: "Who in this world is too rich? ”
"Remember when you raided the Yan Wangfu, you didn't find so much gold and silver?" Li Yun was still a little dazed.
"Isn't it stupid?" Li Yu patted Li Yun's head angrily, and said: "According to the time, when this bronzing post arrived in the Wa Kingdom, Li You had already entered the Dali Temple Imperial Prison, even if the transaction was completed." That one million taels of silver could not appear in the Yan Wang's Mansion! ”
"Ah, yes! Reasonable! Li Yun clapped his hands and muttered, "But that's not right?" Who's to say it's not prepared beforehand? Maybe the fifth brother had already explained before he went in, just to get revenge on us......"
"What did you say?" Li Yuanba's eyes lit up and said, "You say it again?" ”
"I, I didn't say anything!" Li Yun blinked his eyes, looking at the Four Emperor Uncles who were a little 'fangs and claws', and his liver trembled.
"Alright, repeat what you just said!" Li Yuanba saw that this kid was a little timid. Said with some relief: "Take it easy, I didn't say yours is not!" ”
"Yes...... That's not right......" Li Yun thought for a while and recalled.
Li Yuanba shook his head and said, "Later, the next two sentences!" ”
"Who's to say it wasn't prepared beforehand? Maybe the fifth brother had already explained before he went in, just to get revenge on us......"
"Yes!" Li Yuanba had a gloomy face and said, "Xiao Qi is right, with Li You's character. It's entirely possible to do such a ridiculous thing! Then everything is explained! ”
"Won't it?" Li Ke still couldn't believe it, "The fifth brother is my prince of the Tang Dynasty after all. How could he betray the secrets of our Datang to the Wa Kingdom? ”
"Hmph, he has even done such rebellious things as plotting to usurp the throne, what is the point of betraying the country for profit?"
Li Yu snorted unceremoniously and said, "What I'm more curious about now is how these things flowed out of the Divine Machine Mansion, and who helped Li You go to the Wa Kingdom to trade?" And also. Where did the million silver go? ”
"You're a money junkie!" Li Yuanba suddenly turned his previous gloomy face and laughed: "Don't worry, when we return to Chang'an City this time, I believe that we can get what we want from Li You!" ”
"Then when will we go back to Chang'an?" Li Ke asked.
"Wait!" Li Yuanba thought for a while and said, "Tang Zhong." You go and arrange to spread the news of Su Izo's capture alive to the Wa Kingdom, and let him do it according to the plan he has drawn up before! ”
"No!"
……
Yamato Province, which is located in the Asuka region, is the birthplace of the Wakoku Kingdom.
A hundred years ago, the Yamato Kingdom in the Asuka region slowly defeated the surrounding large and small countries, and finally ruled the entire territory of the Wa Kingdom, which was the neon country except for Hokkaido in Li Yuanba's previous life.
However, the government of the Wa State did not rule the local area completely, resulting in a large and small number of wealthy clans in the country, and the areas ruled by these Hao clans imitated the Tang system, also known as the state, which was controlled by various Hao clans.
And the entire Asuka region is divided into mountains, and, rivers, springs, and sets, and the land of five states, that is to say, the entire Wa Kingdom is really controlled by the Tang Dynasty, that is, the land of Hezhou and Shanzhou.
In the palace of the former Japanese king in Shanzhou, Li Jing, the chief of the Pingwa, sat on the large throne of the palace and listened to the black-clothed Tianji Guard report the battle report from Silla.
"So, His Royal Highness King Wu has successfully captured the Wa King and a number of high-ranking nobles?" Li Jing's face was obviously happy, he clapped his palms and laughed: "Hahaha, good, good, good!" In this way, the plan behind my Datang can be implemented! ”
"His Royal Highness the Martial King said the same!" The heavenly guards who came to report also nodded,
"Where are Cheng Zhijie, Niu Jinda, and Wei Chi Jingde?" Li Jing suddenly stood up from the throne and said loudly.
"The last general!"
The middle-aged old men, who had already put on their armor and were like a vicious wolf, stood up directly and arched their hands to Li Jing: "What do you command?" ”
"The five states of the Wa Kingdom, Shanzhou, Hezhou, Hezhou, Quanzhou, and Setzhou, among which Hezhou and Shanzhou are either under the control of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, or under the rule of the nobles of the Wa Kingdom who are attached to my Tang Dynasty. At present, only Hezhou, Quanzhou, and Setzhou are left in the Wa Kingdom, and the land of the three states is not under the rule of my Tang Dynasty! ”
Li Jing looked at the three battle-hardened Tang generals below, and directly pulled out three arrows from the table in front of him, and said:
"Cheng Zhijie, this general ordered you to be the general of Pinghe, lead 10,000 of my Tang soldiers, gather 20,000 Japanese slaves as slave soldiers, and immediately go to the land of Hezhou to pacify Hezhou; Niu Jinda, this general ordered you to be the general of Hiraizumi......"
"No!"
Cheng Yanjin and the three of them took the arrow from Li Jing's hand, and turned around and walked out of the palace hall by themselves.
Looking at the distant backs of the three of them, Li Jing muttered: "The pace of my Datang expansion has finally begun!" ”
……
As a result, the Wa Kingdom fell into an era of war.
Among the other three continents, the wealthy clans of the Wa Kingdom in various places held military power, and their control over the local area could be said to be pervasive.
It is still a little difficult to destroy the wealthy clans in these three states with the power of the Tang Dynasty alone, not that they cannot be eliminated, but that a lot of time will be wasted.
Therefore, Li Jing asked Cheng Yanjin to gather the soldiers of the Wa Kingdom in Shanzhou and Hezhou that they had already occupied, and use them as the vanguard army.
In Li Jing's words, it is not their Tang Dynasty people anyway, if they die, they will die, and if they die, they will not feel distressed, and they will fully consume the strength of the Japanese State, which is really a bit of a double benefit.
When all three armies were ready, it was already three days later.
In the early morning of the fourth day, the three-way army set out from Shanzhou and rushed to the battlefields of the other three states.
Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda and Wei Chi Jingde, they are all masters who have been following Li Shimin's side and fighting in various places, whether it is battlefield experience or troop arrangement, throughout the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid they are rare.
Therefore, the three-way army was overwhelming, attacking the city, and it almost didn't take much effort to hit the area where the core of the wealthy clans from all over the country gathered in three weeks.
For these three armies, or the entire Pingwei army, the various wealthy clans in these three states have finally united for the first time.
But although they have been desperately resisting, it is just that the Japanese soldiers in their hands are bullying and bullying the Silla soldiers, and they are also Japanese soldiers who have the support of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, but they are only waiting to be slaughtered.
There is another point, that is, in the eyes of these Japanese slaves, the city that has always been impregnable is like paper paste under the attack of the Tang army, and the city cannot play its role at all.
……
In the banquet hall behind the Shanzhou Palace, Li Jing held a grand banquet to entertain Li Yuanba, Li Su and Li Yun, who came here.
It has been four days since I came to the Shanzhou Palace, and there are good news coming back every day, and Li Yuanba has been very nourishing these days.
This time he came to Shanzhou, the kingdom of Wa, and Li Yuanba only brought Li Yu and Li Yun, as well as thousands of Shenwu guards.
As for the remaining Shenwuwei army, it was left in Silla by Li Yuanba, and was under the control of Li Ke, the third prince of the Tang Dynasty, that is, King Wu, with the assistance of Su Dingfang, the general of Shenwuwei.
In Li Yuanba's words, Li Ke has reached the time to exercise alone, and I believe that with Li Ke's ability, he should be able to do very well.
"Lord Wang, calculate the time, it has been more than a month since I sent troops to the Japanese Kingdom from the Tang Dynasty, and it should be almost over!" Li Jing sat directly opposite Li Yuanba, his slightly old face full of joy.
"Niu Jinda and Wei Chi Jingde have successfully captured Quanzhou and Setzhou, it stands to reason that this Hezhou should be the best one to fight, but Cheng Zhijie, an old man, has wasted twenty days of time, and he has not yet sent back the final good news!"
Li Yuanba shook his head a little helplessly, drained the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said, "What the hell is this old thing's idea?" ”
Li Jing laughed and said, "Your Majesty did not set a time limit for this war to exterminate the Japanese. In the past, if it involved the border or attacking the enemy's country, it was often more than three months, and more than a month is considered a short time! (To be continued......)
