Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 205 Reinforcements Landing
Wa country is now in the period of emperor vacancy, the previous generation of Emperor Koji was a woman, and Brother Zhong was her son.

After Emperor Huangji's death, the crown prince's elder brother Zhong should have assumed the throne. However, before the new emperor ascended the throne, he always pretended to evade. Therefore, elder brother Zhong acted as regent with almost the same power as the emperor.

Prince Iga is the eldest son of Brother Zhong, and he came to negotiate on behalf of Brother Zhong, and the result of the negotiation was basically equal to the standard that Wa Kingdom could accept. Judging from the identity of Prince Iga, Wa Kingdom did negotiate with sincerity.

It's a pity that Li Qinzai refused to accept no matter how sincere he was.

I can clearly occupy your entire country, but if you come here and say a few words, it will only occupy half of it?No matter how big the face is, it can't be justified.

Prince Iga is obviously used to domineering in the country, and his temper is not very good, but at the moment he has a mission, so he can only swallow his anger.

"You and I just had a small conflict at the mouth of the Baijiang River. Datang is the majestic sovereign of the Central Plains. Why do we have to destroy the country in a small conflict?"

"This time, our Yamato country sent more than a thousand warships and more than [-] soldiers, all of whom were buried at the bottom of the sea. We have paid a heavy price. I also ask the Major General of Shangguo to show mercy and retreat."

Prince Iga prostrated himself on the ground and asked.

Li Qin laughed angrily: "You were wiped out at Baijiangkou, and half of your country was lost. So, you are the victims? We Datang made a mistake. When you beat us, we should stick our heads out for you Cut it off, otherwise it will not conform to the grandeur of the suzerain Shangguo?"

"The minister did not say that Yamato was the victim, but Yamato has admitted defeat. Why should the major general be so aggressive and insist on destroying Yamato? Doesn't your country respect Confucius' way of benevolence and forgiveness?"

"What the hell are you talking about Confucius? Have the wild monkeys read books? Confucius also said, 'Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue? Complain straightly, and repay virtue with virtue', do you understand?"

Prince Iga was dumbfounded, wanted to refute but didn't know how to speak.

Li Qinzai looked at him coldly, and realized that this hozen had actually read Huaxia's sage books, and he obviously understood what he said just now.

Li Qinzai walked up to him, habitually wanting to pat him on the shoulder, but suddenly realized that humans and animals travel different ways and was afraid of getting dirty, so he retracted his hand as soon as he stretched it out.

"Learning from the scriptures of my Central Plains sages, I learned a half-baked thing. What I just said is the true essence of my Central Plains sage culture, and the 'way of benevolence and forgiveness' you mentioned is called moral kidnapping. It is very low-key, understand. ?"

Speaking of which, Li Qinzai's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Go back and tell your father, since Datang has come, he has no intention of stopping the war. It is up to me, Datang, to pay the price for the war you started first." Decided, go back and wash your neck to fight."

Prince Iga's heart sank, but he also said with a cold face: "Young General, you can think clearly, your army is only a few thousand, if our Yamato country is determined to attack it with all the soldiers of the country, the thousands of your army will be there On the land of my Yamato country, it may not be able to last for a long time."

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Just for your unrepentant threat, I will treat you well today and send you away in style."

Li Qinzai suddenly yelled, "Come here, break his legs and throw him out of the camp."

Prince Yihe was shocked: "The two countries are fighting each other, if they don't kill the envoys. Does the major general not even want the honor of the upper kingdom?"

Li Qinzai said innocently: "Did I kill you? No, I just disabled you. The two countries didn't say they can't disable envoys, did they?"

Prince Yihe said angrily, "Why did the young general abuse the envoy?"

Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes: "It's just to remind you to be polite when speaking. Since you know that I am a major general of Shangguo, if you dare to threaten me face to face, and don't give me a small punishment, why do you want to imitate others?"

As he spoke, Li Qinzai waved his hand, and the two parts supported him one by one from the left and one from the right, and dragged him out of the tent.Prince Iga kept struggling and cursing, but under Buqu's strong arms, it was in vain.

Only two screams were heard outside the tent, and then there was no movement.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Prince Iga's entourage carried him out of the camp and fled to Asuka City.

Inside the tent, Cheng Boxian said with a wry smile: "My dear brother, it's better to delay him for a few days at least, so that my soldiers can rest for a few more days. You broke his leg without saying a few words, and you will start fighting again later."

Li Qinzai said with an apologetic smile: "Talk to this wild monkey and you'll get to the top. Humans and animals have different ways and it's hard to communicate. Once we start talking, I can't help but want to kill him."

Cheng Boxian said with a smile: "That's right. Before the negotiation, those hozens should inquire about the reputation of the good brother in Chang'an City in the past. If there is a disagreement, the ruthless characters who tear down the shop and set fire to it will not allow them to be rampant in front of the good brother."

Cheng Boxian said again: "What should we do next? We really want to destroy the Japanese kingdom? I want to destroy it, but we only have a few thousand people. The prince was right just now. If they put all their hearts and souls into fighting to the death with the whole country's soldiers, how many of us will die?" Thousands of people really can't last long."

Li Qinzai said nonchalantly: "Actually, I didn't have any goals before the war. It counts wherever I go. The main purpose is to beat them badly and hurt them so that they will not dare to challenge me again from generation to generation."

"Since it won't last long, let's forcefully occupy Asuka City, and then retreat. It's not bad to see the monarchs and ministers of the Wa Kingdom fleeing from Kyoto in a panic."

Originally, he really had the idea of ​​destroying the Japanese country, but he always had to consider the reality. Thousands of soldiers were buried here, and Li Qinzai felt very sorry.

And if everyone died in the war in Japan, the taste of this landing battle would change. Li Qinzai and the others would become Jing Ke who assassinated Qin, which would never return to the Tang Dynasty.

But in the future, the Wa Kingdom will only boast that they wiped out all the invading enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and their history books are not yet sure how disgusting China is, which will only increase the arrogance of the Wa Kingdom.

In the big tent, Li Qinzai and Cheng Boxian discussed briefly and set the goal of Tang Jun.

After the capture of the Japanese capital, the most important thing for a human being is to be happy. I am already very happy after occupying half of the country.

…………

After Prince Iga was carried back with broken legs, the Japanese monarch and officials were furious. Countless officials knelt in front of Brother Zhong and wept bitterly, saying that it was a century-old national humiliation.

The next day, the family generals and warriors in the mansions of the officials in Asuka City were organized, led by a courtier named "Nakami Kamazu", and more than [-] warriors attacked the Tang Army camp outside Asuka City.

Unsurprisingly, this attack was easily defeated by the Tang army.

The improvised army was led by civil servants and ruthlessly crushed by firearms. The chances of Japan's victory were really slim.

But the Tang army also paid the price of hundreds of casualties in this battle.

The logistics supplies were cut off, the soldiers of the Musket Battalion did not wear heavy armor, and the bows and arrows of the Japanese Kingdom were also fatal. The Musket Battalion in the front line would inevitably suffer casualties after all.

This is also an important reason why Li Qinzai's troops were unable to occupy the entire territory of the Wa Kingdom. Although the firearms are invincible, if casualties cannot be avoided, it is indeed difficult to support thousands of people.

After the first battle outside the city of Kyoto, the Japanese army was defeated again. The Tang army needed to rest and the Japanese army needed to gather troops.

March nineteenth in the second year of Longshuo.

A cavalry team of [-] people landed in Nagasaki, Japan, lined up outside the ruins of Nagasaki City, and then galloped towards Asuka City.

Li Zhi's decree was sent to Baekje, and Sun Renshi immediately ordered troops and horses to rush to rescue Li Qinzai.

The naval battleship was fully loaded with more than [-] soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time brought food, ordnance, three-eyed blunderbuss, gunpowder and other supplies, and hurried to Feiniao City.

The situation changed abruptly, and the sky over the country of Wa was once again clouded with battle clouds.

Half of the enemy country has been destroyed, and it is absolutely impossible for Datang to withdraw its troops.

What's more, after occupying the entire territory of the Wa Kingdom, it has extremely important strategic significance for the Tang Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo in the future. Li Zhi must completely grasp the Wa Kingdom in his hands.

Two days later, in the middle of the night, Li Qinzai was sleeping comfortably in the tent when Liu Asi, who was on duty outside the tent, woke him up suddenly and told him excitedly that the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty had arrived!

The [-] cavalry team has arrived [-] miles away from the Tang Army's camp, and Sun Renshi, the head of the Navy Division, is rushing towards the camp.

Li Qinzai was pleasantly surprised at first, but his heart sank when he thought of his behavior of landing in Japan against the order without authorization.

If you see Master Sun Ren, I'm afraid it's time for the accompanying swordsman to appear on the stage.

After thinking for a while, Li Qinzai said solemnly: "No! Tell Master Sun Ren with deep sorrow that I died in battle and was buried under the cherry blossom tree in my hometown. You can find a wild grave and take him to pay homage and burn some paper money or something. "
