Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "General Teng'er is here to return to duty!" Dozens of prairie cavalrymen came running along the path. When they arrived in front of Xue Rengui, they immediately dismounted from their saddles, performed a military salute and said in blunt Chinese.  In addition to having extraordinary abilities, generals of the prairie people must also know Chinese, and even Chinese is the first requirement. After all, they must understand the general orders issued by the generals, otherwise they will not be able to make sure they are issued.  OK.

    Xue Rengui glanced around and found that not one of the fifty cavalrymen was killed, and on the saddles of several cavalrymen, there were several Japanese people wearing silk. He knew at a glance that they were not ordinary people, which made Xue Rengui's face  Finally, he showed a satisfied smile, but then his face turned serious and he shouted sternly: "Terner, why did it take so long to come back to life?"

    Ten'er clasped his fists again and saluted: "General Qi, after chasing for nearly ten miles, I found the Japanese who had escaped. I could have come back soon, but I found a small town not far away, and there were not many defenders, so  The last general wanted to enter the city to arrest some Japanese officials, but he didn't expect that the Japanese in the city didn't dare to resist when they saw us, so they surrendered immediately. The last general also brought their city lord and several officials, please  The general decides!"

    Xue Rengui was startled when he heard Ten'er said that they had captured a small city and captured its lord, but then he immediately became happy and looked at Hu Li next to him demonstratively, and then  He praised Ten'er and others a few words and asked them to pick up the Japanese city lord.

    Unexpectedly, as soon as the Japanese city lord was brought to Xue Rengui, he immediately turned over and knelt on the ground, and said in very fluent Chinese: "Please spare my life, general. I am willing to surrender and do my best for the general!"

    The Japanese city lord's fluent Chinese made Xue Rengui stunned again, and Ten'er next to him said with some jealousy: "General, this city lord is a Japanese nobleman. According to what he said, he lived in Baekje for a period of time.  So I learned to speak very fluent Chinese, which is much better than what I can speak at the end of the day.¡±

    ???

    Thinking of this, Xue Rengui carefully looked at the Japanese kneeling in front of him.  I saw that the other party was about forty years old, with a long face and narrow eyes. He looked extremely shrewd. His clothes were almost exactly the same as those of the Baekje nobles he had seen. No wonder he said that he had lived in Baekje.

    "What's your name?" Xue Rengui stood up straight and asked arrogantly.

    "General Qi, the villain's name is Ishigami Moriga. He was originally a member of the Mononobe clan, but decades ago, the Monobe clan had political disagreements with the Soga clan, and the clan was almost wiped out by them. The villain's ancestors had to hide the Monobe clan.  I changed my surname to Ishigami. I have been waiting for the opportunity to kill the Soga clan. Now I finally waited for the heavenly soldiers to arrive. I asked the heavenly general to make the decision for our Mononobe clan. He sent his troops to attack Ishikawa and Soga and wipe out the Soga clan.  !" The guy named Ishigami Mori said at the end.  He was almost bursting into tears, and he looked like he had a grievance that was difficult to redress.

    "Monobe clan?" Xue Rengui thought secretly after hearing this. He seemed to have some impression of this name.  Before the war, Su Dingfang gave each general a piece of information, which briefly introduced the current political situation of the Japanese country. It seems that the Monobe clan was mentioned above, but the information was very brief, and Xue Rengui did not know about the Monobe clan.  What is the origin of the Suga family, but he is very clear about the Suga family mentioned by the other party. He knows that it is the largest wealthy family in the Japanese country and controls the military and political power of the Japanese country. Even the Japanese kings are at their mercy, and it is the same as in history.  Like Cao Cao, since the Mononobe clan was able to compete with the Soga clan for power in the first place, they must have been a great wealthy clan in Japan.

    In fact, what Xue Rengui didn't know was that the Monobe clan was still the elder of the Soga clan. The Monobe clan and another Oban clan jointly inherited the position of Dalian. The so-called Dalian was actually equivalent to the regent of the Japanese country, and all major military and political affairs were controlled by Dalian.  Under its control, even the Japanese kings were not as powerful as Dalian, and the Monobe clan, as a hereditary Dalian family, was the largest wealthy family in the Japanese kingdom.

    Unfortunately, this situation aroused the dissatisfaction of the Japanese king, so he supported the Soga clan and the Mononobe clan to fight for power. Later, through the issue of whether to introduce Buddhism, the Soga clan joined forces with Prince Shotoku and the major wealthy families in the country to jointly attack  Monobe clan, as a result, although Monobe clan repelled the coalition forces one after another, in the end Monobe Moriya, who was in charge of Dalian at that time, was killed. Monobe clan was defeated and the clan was wiped out. Only a small part of them escaped, but they never dared to use Monobe clan again.  The surname was changed to Ishigami, and the Ishigami Shouga in front of Xue Rengui was Ishigami.

    Although the other party swore that he had enmity with the Soga family who was in power in the Japanese country, Xue Rengui did not dare to believe it. He just asked Ishigami Moriga to take them to the mine that produced silver, drive out all the Japanese hiding in the mountains, and then separate a group of people.  Thousands of people were stationed there, and then they followed Ishigami Shouga into the small city he occupied. There were many members of the Ishigami clan in the city.Man, this actually made Xue Rengui believe in him a little more.

    News of the Tang army's landing from the Iwami area soon spread to Asuka J¨­migahara, the political center of the Japanese state. The Japanese state was different from other countries. Every time they changed a Japanese king, they had to move their capital, but the area they moved was always in Asuka.  In the region, the political center has always been here. The current Japanese king is named Tamura, and his nickname is Shuming. The Japanese are arrogant and call him the emperor, so they are also called Emperor Shumei.

    In the Emperor's Palace, Emperor Shuming was sitting on his knees in the palace. Although he was only over forty years old, his complexion was white with blue, and he looked extremely normal. He would cough a series of times from time to time, which made people feel like he was declining.

    "Minister Toyoura, the Tang army has landed in the Iwami area. How do you think we can resist it?" Emperor Shumei coughed for a while, then picked up the medicine bowl in front of him and took a few sips. His face now had an abnormal flush. This  Then I asked Soga Ezo on the right.

    Soga Ezo was a powerful figure in the Soga clan's generation. He was the minister of Japan at the time. Soga Ezo was his name, and he was commonly known as Toyoura Minister. Although the names of the Soga clan's minister and the Mononobe clan's Dalian were different,  But in fact, they are similar in nature. They both hold the military and political power of the Japanese country. In addition, Emperor Shumei was helped to the throne by Soga Ezo, so he has a lot of trust in him. No matter what happens, the first thing that comes to Emperor Shumei's mind is  Soga Ezo.

    Soga Ezo is nearly ten years older than Emperor Shumei, but he looks even younger than Emperor Shumei. Although his hair is a little gray, his spirit is extremely strong. His body is not tall and he is very strong, even when he is kneeling.  Sitting there, he looked like a tiger choosing people to eat.

    Soga Ezo had long received the news that King Qi of the Tang Dynasty was preparing to launch troops against them. However, according to his estimation, the Tang Dynasty was likely to land on Chikushi Island, and at most, the entire Chikushi Island would be captured. It would definitely  He didn't dare to attack their Honshu Island, but he didn't expect that the Tang army unexpectedly landed in the Iwami area, which made him feel caught off guard.

    When Soga Ezo heard Emperor Shumei's inquiry, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at a nobleman in his thirties who was sitting opposite him and said: "Yamabeko's elder brother inherited his father's ambition and must have some knowledge of the art of war."  So I want to hear what Brother Shanbei has to say?"

    This Japanese aristocrat whom Soga Ezo called the Yamagata Daisei King had an extraordinary origin. His father was the famous Prince Shotoku in the history of Japan. Originally, before the death of Emperor Suiko of the previous generation, he appointed Yamagata Daisei King to inherit the throne.  However, Soga Ezo supported the current Emperor Shumei, which led to the failure of the Yamabeko brother in the fight for the throne. However, even so, relying on the foundation left by his father, the Yamabeko brother still has a large number of supporters in the Japanese country.  He also has a great say in government affairs.

    The eldest brother Yamabeko was fat and his skin was very fair. He looked fair and tender. When he heard Soga Ezo's question, although he hated him in his heart, he didn't dare to offend him. He could only think for a moment and said: "We were  Sending troops to help Baekje must have angered the Tang Dynasty, especially His Highness King Qi of the Tang Dynasty. He will not let us go. Normally speaking, even if the other party wants to retaliate, it will at most give us a lesson.  That's it, and Tsukushi Island is undoubtedly an excellent target. Not only is it close to Silla and Baekje, but it also doesn't have many troops. But now the opponent has landed from Iwami. Although it is still quite far away from Asuka,  But it¡¯s already on Honshu Island, so it can be seen that Datang¡¯s ambitions this time are not small!¡±

    After hearing Brother Yamabeko's analysis, not only did other Japanese ministers nod in praise, but Soga Ezo also showed approval, thinking that like father, like son, Brother Yamabeko, even if he is not as good as his father, but  But it's not that far apart.

    But then, Soga Ezo looked at Brother Yamabeko with an added layer of vigilance, and even contained a hint of murderous intent. He was the one who pulled him down from the throne in the first place. If Brother Yamabeko was a mediocre person, he would  That's all, but the talent shown by the other party made him look at him with suspicion, so for his own safety, he must not leave this hidden danger in the future.

    Brother Yamabeko did not notice the murderous intent in Soga Ezo's eyes. Instead, after hearing the praises of others, he sat down with a humble face. At this time, Emperor Shumei spoke again: "Brother Yamabeko analyzed it  It makes perfect sense, but since Tang Jun¡¯s intentions are not small this time, how should we deal with them?"

    As soon as Emperor Shu Ming's question came out, all the ministers who had been whispering to each other just now shut their mouths and sat there like Buddha statues. Everyone knew that the Tang Dynasty was powerful, and with the strength of their domestic troops, they would definitely not be able to fight head-on.  , but if they don't fight hard, they have no other choice, so they can only keep their mouths shut.

    In addition, the reason why they did not speak actually had another meaning, that is, they wanted to see how Soga Ezo would deal with this matter. After all, all major military and political affairs in the country were now in the hands of Soga Ezo, and this matter was originally his.  It's my job, so as long as it doesn't hurtConsidering the vital interests of the ministers, they will not be in the limelight.
