    "Boom boom boom~"

    The roars of artillery continued, and the black shells hit the Japanese camp, sending mud flying every time. Although the lethality of the solid shells was not too strong, and not many Japanese actually died under the shells, but  The psychological deterrent effect of artillery is extremely powerful. Each round of artillery firing will reduce the fighting spirit of the Japanese by one point.

    After Su Dingfang arrived at Yezu City with his army, he immediately launched a general attack on Suga Rulu's army under the city. After several days of siege battles, Suga Rulu's 80,000 army only had less than 60,000 left. This shows that before  The siege was brutal.  Moreover, the morale of the Japanese was completely depleted at this time, so it was a good time to launch a general attack.

    This time Su Dingfang brought an army of 40,000 grassland barbarians and more than 6,000 generals. The main reason why they came so slowly was because they were delayed in transporting artillery. After all, the roads of Japan were extremely inferior.  It took a lot of time to let the artillery pass through many places, so it was several days late.

    Although Su Wo Rulu knew that the enemies from behind would come sooner or later, he did not expect that as soon as the main force of the Tang army came up, they would use a strange weapon to fire heavy iron balls, destroying all the camps they had set up before, and the morale of the soldiers was even worse.  He hit rock bottom, and even the delivery of his orders became very slow, and sometimes he was resisted by some generals.

    Faced with this situation, Su Wo sighed deeply, knowing that he was doomed this time. The wisest thing to do was to immediately order the army to put down their weapons and surrender to the Tang army on the spot. However, as the next governor of the Su Wo family, he  No matter what, he cannot surrender, otherwise the family behind him will be wiped out by various wealthy families in the country immediately, and there will be no possibility of turning over.

    The army in his hands was out of control, and Soga was determined not to surrender. In the end, he simply took the Soga tribe with a thousand people.  A desperate attack on Su Dingfang's army resulted in countless artillery bombardments. In the end, Su Wo Rulu's horse was hit by a cannonball. As a result, both the man and the horse were smashed into a pulp. It was impossible to tell which was human flesh and which was horse.  Meat.

    As soon as Su Wo entered the deer and died, the tens of thousands of remnant troops under his command no longer had the fighting spirit, and were immediately led by the superior generals to surrender one by one. Su Dingfang also knew that these prisoners of war could be sold for money.  Therefore, they do not kill indiscriminately. Some people who are even slightly injured will be treated by someone, but those who are seriously injured are destined to be disabled even if they are treated.  Of course no one will care.

    It took several days to receive prisoners and clean up the battlefield, and the final number of prisoners of war was more than 45,000. Of course, there are many injured people here who need treatment, and they can only be sold after they are cured.

    In the battle of Nojin Castle, all 150,000 Japanese elites were wiped out in one fell swoop.  He no longer had the strength to resist, and when Li Min, who was far away in Shijian, received the news, he laughed three times happily, and then in front of many people.  He hugged Wu Meiniang and spun her around three times, until the beauty in his arms turned red with embarrassment, then he put her down.  But that night, Li Min and Wu Meiniang had a dark night.  Use this to vent the joy in your heart.

    And when the news of the battle of Nozu Castle reached the Emperor's Palace in the Asuka area, Emperor Shumei, who was already in poor health, fainted from fright.  A few days later, he finally died of illness in the palace, two years earlier than in history.

    As for the throne of the emperor, Soga Iruka fought with the ministers who opposed him. Soga Iruka supported Emperor Shumei's empress to ascend the throne, while the ministers who opposed him supported Prince Shotoku's son, Yamabeko.  The reason why the eldest brother succeeded to the throne was that the throne should have belonged to the eldest brother Yamabei. Now that Emperor Shumei has died, it is natural that the eldest brother Yamabei should inherit the throne.

    Originally, Soga Ezo was in power. The Soga family was not only extremely powerful, but also had a large number of party members. In the past, the ministers who opposed him in the government were no match for him when they united together. However, this time because of Soga's  The death of Rulu in battle caused the prestige of the Suga clan to plummet. Many people who originally supported Suga Rulu turned to support the eldest brother Yamabei, resulting in a dispute between the two parties.

    However, Brother Shanbei is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration. He understands that the Tang army has already invaded the country and can enter the Asuka area at any time, so their first priority now is to deal with the Tang army, not to compete for the throne of the emperor.

    It was precisely because of this consideration that in the end, the Yamagako elder brother took the initiative to compromise with Soga Ezo and proposed that he agreed to let the princess succeed the emperor. However, Soga Ezo had to use all the power of the Soga family to drive away the Tang army.  Leaving the territory of Japan.

    The reason why Brother Yamabeko made this request was mainly because during the battle of Nozu Castle, the army led by Soga Iruka were all members of the various wealthy families in the country. As for the direct descendants of the Soga clan, they brought very few with them. Mainly  In order to preserve their strength, the main military strength of the Soga clan is still retained. This is why Shanbei DaThe reason why my brother voluntarily gave up the position of emperor.

    However, taking this opportunity, Brother Yamabei proposed that the Soga clan must mobilize the elites of the clan to drive out the Tang army, and the treacherous Soga Ezo immediately agreed, which allowed the treasure girl to ascend the throne smoothly, and also  This is Emperor Kogoku in history.

    As the most powerful wealthy family in Japan, the Soga family's military strength should not be underestimated. Soga Ezo quickly gathered a tribe of 20,000 people, and then ordered the major wealthy families in the country to piece together the army again, and finally finally succeeded  Another 60,000 troops were gathered.  Then Soga Ezo personally led the troops, but this time he did not dare to take the initiative to fight the Tang army. Instead, he used a large army to guard the Asuka area tightly, and then sent envoys to beg Li Min for surrender.

    Ishigami Castle is not far from Ishigami Silver Mountain. This was originally Ishigami Shouga's home base and was called Ishigami Castle. However, after this small town was occupied by fifty prairie cavalry, Ishigami Shouga also surrendered on his own initiative. Li Min saw  The location of this city is good, so it was renamed Shijian City and used as a logistics base for Xue Rengui and Hu Li ahead. He usually stationed himself here with his guards.

    In the palace of the city lord of Shijian City, Li Min was sitting in a somewhat small hall. He was looking at the Japanese envoy in front of him calmly. He saw that the envoy was about thirty years old and short, a full head and a half shorter than Li Min.  , The figure is very strong, and it seems that he should be a martial arts practitioner.

    "What's your name?" Li Min asked absentmindedly as he tasted the tea he brought from Dengzhou.

    "I would like to report to Your Highness, King Qi, that the envoy from a small country is named Soga Chi-nii. This time I have been appointed by the Emperor to discuss with His Highness"

    "Bold!" Before Brother Su Gaochi could say anything, Li Min suddenly slammed the table, stood up and glared angrily, "A small Japanese country dares to falsely claim to be the emperor. It is simply too much to bully others. Come on, give this to me."  Drag him out and behead him!"

    Hearing Li Min's words, Brother Sugachi was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He also understood that he had let something slip. It was okay to call him emperor in China, but emperor was a specific title for His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. Now he was in the Tang Dynasty.  He actually called himself emperor in front of the prince. This was undoubtedly a great insult to the Tang royal family, and they were really dead now.

    However, just when the guards in the hall were about to drag brother Su Wa Chi down, Wang An, who was standing next to Li Min, suddenly said: "Your Highness, if the two countries are fighting, the envoy will not be killed. Although this Japanese envoy is rude, after all,  He is here to seek peace. If he is killed, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future, so it is better to spare him this time and listen to what they plan to use to seek peace!"

    Hearing that Wang An was interceding for him, Brother Su Wachi looked at him very gratefully.  After hearing this, Li Min deliberately pondered for a moment, and then said angrily: "Okay, for the sake of being an envoy, I will spare him this time. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped.  Come on, slap the mouth twenty!"

    When Brother Su Wa Chi heard that it was just a slap, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed to Li Xun repeatedly. However, when he saw the person who came up for execution, he was stunned. The guard who came out was eight feet tall and had two arms.  The arms are long and thick, almost like a gorilla.  It's a pity that brother Su Wachi didn't know that the big man in front of him was Xi Junmai, Li Min's personal bodyguard. He had the strength of a thousand pounds when his arms were raised. If he let go, he could be slapped to death.

    However, Xi Junmai knew that His Highness did not want the Japanese envoy to die, so he saved some strength when he struck. But even so, after twenty slaps, Brother Suwachi's cheeks were swollen like a water-filled balloon.  It is estimated that water will come out when pricked with a needle.

    But even though the swelling was like this, Brother Su Wochi still had to thank Li Min after being beaten, and the humility on his face did not change at all. This made Li Min feel a little jealous of Brother Ya Su Wo Chi.  Interested, he asked: "Brother Su Wa Chi, what do you, the Japanese king, want to discuss with me?"

    "Your Majesty Your Majesty!" Brother Su Wochi's face was as big as a bucket, and he was a little embarrassed when he spoke. "My Lord sent this person here mainly to discuss the surrender with Your Highness. Our country of Japan is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and the King of Qi.  Your Highness surrenders, and will pay tribute every year in the future. I just ask His Highness to show mercy and let the heavenly soldiers withdraw from our country!"

    "Hahahaha~" When Li Min heard Brother Su Wachi's words, he raised his head and laughed like a good person after hearing the funniest joke in the world. Finally, he suddenly stopped and said with an angry look on his face: "You Japanese kings are the ones who are responsible for this."  Is the king a fool? After fighting for so long, your main force has been destroyed, but now you just want to admit your mistake and let me withdraw. How can anything in the world be so cheap?"

    After hearing this, Brother Suwachi said anxiously: "Your Highness is serious. However, although our Japanese country helped Baekje fight against the heavenly soldiers last time, it did not lead to the destruction of the country. Now His Highness has sent a heavy army to conquer our country, which has severely damaged our country's vitality.  In this way, it can be regarded as compensation for the sin we committed last time. If His Highness persists,If you want to destroy our country, wouldn't it mean that others would say that the Tang Dynasty used the great power to bully the small ones and deliberately made small mistakes to destroy our country?  "

    Hearing Brother Su Gaochi's sophistry, Li Min deliberately showed an angry look, ordered the guards to carry a box of things, and threw it heavily at Brother Su Gaochi's feet, and then roared: "Look at what you Japanese people have done.  Good thing, isn¡¯t this enough to destroy your country?¡± (To be continued)
