    Seeing that the others were silent, Soga Ezo knew that they were waiting for him to speak. After all, as a minister, this was also his responsibility. He pondered for a moment and said: "At first, I just speculated that even if the Tang Dynasty  If they attack us, they will only land on Chikushi Island at most, and the Tang army is too powerful to be defeated. Therefore, I had people withdraw most of the troops on Chikushi Island, and the imperial court mobilized a large army to defend the southwest of Honshu.  The coast where Tsukushi and Tsukushi border."

    After Soga Ezo said this, he looked at Emperor Shumei and the ministers around him, and found that no one dared to show any expression of dissatisfaction. Then he nodded with satisfaction. He had formulated the original defensive strategy, but now it was  It was proven wrong, but despite this, no one dared to take advantage of it, which made Soga Ezo very proud.

    I saw Soga Ezo then said: "I just didn't expect that the Tang army would land directly from the Iwami area of ??Honshu Island. In this way, the court and the army would be separated. For this plan, the first thing is to find a way  Notify the army in the southwest and ask them to rush back to join us as soon as possible while the Tang army has just landed and has not completely blocked the traffic. Then, with the help of the favorable location and people, they will try their best to deal with the Tang army until the Tang army is exhausted and retreats.  At that time, it will be the day of our victory!¡±

    Soga Ezo also knew very well that with the strength of their Japanese country, it was simply impossible to defeat the invading Tang army. Therefore, from the beginning, they never thought of annihilating the Tang army in one fell swoop. Instead, they made up their mind to delay until the Tang army was defeated.  When the delay is exhausted, the other party will naturally retreat without them taking action.

    After hearing Soga Ezo's countermeasures, Emperor Shumei and the ministers looked at each other. Although this method was a bit negative, if you think about it carefully, it was also the most suitable method. After all, facing the behemoth of the Tang Dynasty, they really couldn't think of anything.  No matter how they feel about resisting, we can only hope that they will retreat on their own when the time comes.

    Next, Emperor Shuming asked about the preparations in various aspects of the country.  Soga Ezo also answered one by one, but Emperor Shumei didn't seem to care much about these things. He told Soga Ezo to prepare for war with all his strength and be sure to drive the Tang army out of the country. This court meeting ended, but at the end  Before, Emperor Shumei once again told Soga Ezo to notify the frontline troops as soon as possible and must rush back as soon as possible.  You must not be cut off by Tang Jun.

    Hundreds of miles away in Jiangshuang City, Su Wo Rulu, who was not yet thirty years old, was wearing iron armor and frowning, sitting in the hall of the city lord's mansion. On both sides of him, many military officers were sitting.  of generals.

    Soga Niruka is the son of Soga Ezo and the next family governor of the Soga family. Therefore, although he is young, he has been entrusted with important tasks by his father. This time, he is commanding the domestic army and is stationed near Shuangshuang City.  This was to prevent the Tang army from landing in the state.  Fengshuang Castle is located in the southwest corner of Honshu Island, separated from Chikushi Island by only a narrow strait.

    "General. We have been waiting in Jiangshuang City for nearly a month, but there has been no movement from Zhuzi Island. Could it be that we got false news before and that the Tang army had no intention of attacking us?" A Japanese general below  He stood up and said.

    "Yes, the weather is getting colder and colder, and everyone knows that winter is not suitable for fighting. Presumably the Tang army will not attack our country at this time!" Another Japanese general stood up and said, and others were also talking about it.  .

    And when Su Wo Rulu heard the words of the generals below, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.  This time he assembled 150,000 domestic troops and rushed to Jiangshuang City to set up defenses. However, after waiting for such a long time, there was no movement on Zhuzi Island, which was most likely to be attacked by the Tang Dynasty. This really made him confused. Could it be that  Is it really like what the general said just now, that Datang had no intention of attacking them at all?

    At this moment, a general sitting at the end stood up and said: "General, our army consumes a lot of money every day. Although we have made sufficient preparations and stored a large amount of food and grass in the city, this month has not been enough."  We have almost consumed it, and the supplies from behind have not arrived yet. If this continues, we may not be able to support ourselves without Datang's attack, so we would like to ask the general to give an order to expedite the transportation of grain and grass from behind!  "

    Hearing that there was also a problem with food and grass, Suga Niruka became even more irritated, and said angrily: "Didn't I send someone to urge you last time? Why hasn't the food and grass been delivered yet? Does Ishikawa Maro not want to live anymore?"

    Ishikawa Maro is Soga Rushika's cousin, and he also belongs to the Soga clan. However, the two usually have different opinions and their relationship is not very good. This time Ishikawa Maro served as the chief quartermaster of the rear, but now the food and grass have not arrived.  , this made Su Wo Ruolu feel a great hatred, and secretly made up his mind to give the other party some color after the Tang army's invasion was resolved.

    Suga Ruika and the generals discussed for a long time without any results, so he had to lose his temper about Ishikawa Maro, and then prepared to break up the meeting, but at this moment, there was a sudden burst of panic outside.The sound of footsteps followed, followed by a herald trotting in, holding up a war report: "General Qi, there is an urgent report from the rear, Datang has landed in the Shijian area!"

    "What?" Su Worulu stood up immediately after hearing this, knocked over all the tea bowls on the table, and the hot tea flowed down the table and glanced at him, but he didn't seem to feel it at all.  Before arriving, it seems that they should have been intercepted by the Tang Army, but now their retreat has been cut off by the Tang Army. What should they do next?

    However, Suga Niruka was worthy of being the next family governor of the Soga clan. He quickly calmed down from the panic. He took the battle report and looked at it. He found that the situation was sent from the military town closest to Iwami, and based on the distance,  After all, the imperial court should have received the news a long time ago, and the latest order to him is probably already on the way, and this order must have come from his father Soga Ezo.

    Thinking of his father, Suga Ruuka finally calmed down. Based on his understanding of his father and his judgment of the current situation, Suga Ruuka quickly guessed what his father's order was to him. The top priority now is to let the army and the court  Keep in touch and not let Tang Jun cut off your retreat.

    Thinking of this, Su Ga walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps, suddenly turned around, and said with a determined expression: "The whole army will listen to the order, immediately prepare for deployment, and immediately withdraw to the area east of Ishima early tomorrow morning. Be sure to  Open up the connection with the rear!¡±

    "As ordered!" The generals in the hall responded immediately, then quickly left the hall and returned to their own troops to prepare.  Early the next morning, the 80,000 elites who were the first to prepare immediately set off with Su Wo into Lu, preparing to clear the road before the Tang army established a foothold.

    However, on the night when Su Wo Rulu and 80,000 elites had just left Jiangshuang City, at the port outside the city, a small boat quietly entered the sea under the cover of night, then raised its sail and headed west. On the next day  In the morning, the boat finally arrived at an island not far from Frost City.

    This island is not very far from Tsushima Island. It should be regarded as an affiliated island of Tsushima Island. It is also very far from Frost City. If the big ship is full of sails, it can be reached in half a day. There used to be a few families living on the island, but now  But they had already moved away, and now there are battle camps on the island, with a large number of Tang troops stationed there.

    After the boat arrived at the island, it was immediately discovered by the patrolling boats. However, after the people on the boat showed a special waistband to the patrolling soldiers, they were immediately taken to the big tent in the center of the island.

    Although it was still early in the morning, Su Dingfang got up early and was currently crawling on the desk to study the map of the Japanese country. When he was on Tsushima Island last time, after sending Hu Li and Xue Rengui out, the remaining people did not go with them.  Landing from the Iwami area, he took a boat to this island not far from Frost City.  The Japanese navy has long been defeated by Lu Qing's navy. Now the Japanese navy, let alone the navy, even the fishermen dare not go to the sea, so they are not worried about being discovered by the Japanese country.

    There are now 40,000 prairie cavalry stationed on the island, 6,400 generals from Chang'an, and 1,500 firearms troops, plus 2,000 Kunlun slave camps, but these 3,500  One hundred men have been individually organized into an army, called a firearms battalion.  As for the remaining Silla troops, they still stayed on Tsushima Island.

    "General Qi, Su Wo Rulu has left Jiangshuang City with his people. The number of troops is not clear, but it is at least half. The remaining troops are also preparing to leave!" After the people in the boat were taken to the big tent, they immediately  He bowed.

    Su Dingfang's face lit up after hearing this. He looked at the details of the Japanese fisherman's dress in front of him and said excitedly: "Okay, brother, thank you for your hard work. After this battle is over, I will personally take credit for you!"

    After Xi Zuo thanked him, he immediately went down with the soldiers to rest. Su Dingfang immediately beat the drums and raised the tent, summoned all the generals in the army, and after announcing the news about Xi Zuo, he immediately asked all the teams to prepare and get on the ship before noon.  Set off, aiming directly at Jiangshuang City in Japan.

    In fact, the 14,000 men of Xue Rengui and Hu Li were not the main force of the attack. They had two main tasks. The first was to occupy the silver mines in the Iwami area. After all, in comparison, the entire Japanese country was the most valuable there.  The second task is to alert the enemy. After landing directly from Ishimi, they will cut off the contact between the Japanese army stationed in Jiangshuang City and the rear, and then give the Japanese people an illusion that that is the main direction of the Tang Dynasty's attack.  , in order to attract the attention of Japan.

    Based on the reverence of the Japanese for the Tang Dynasty, after they discovered that the Tang army had landed in the Iwami area, their first reaction was to withdraw the army and open up contact with the rear. However, with an army of only 150,000 people, that did not mean that they would be able to withdraw.  Yes, and when the troops were withdrawing, it was inevitable that the morale of the troops would fluctuate, so Su Dingfang took this opportunity to formulate a main plan. After the first batch of Japanese troops withdrew from Jiangshuang City, he immediately led the main army to Jiangshuang City,Their most important battle plan was to annihilate the Japanese troops who were too late to retreat.
