Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 999
The Tang army was defeated. Although the Japanese did not dare to celebrate openly, the news was undoubtedly very exciting to them.

It can be seen from this that the invincible Tang army is not actually invincible, but it has not found a way before.

This time, facing an alliance force of more than [-] people, wouldn't it be defeated?

Although the process is unknown and unbelievable, the result is not deceiving. In short, the Tang army was defeated, and the country of Wa finally saw the dawn of dawn.

The reasons for Tang Jun's defeat were gradually spread out.

It is mainly attributed to Tang Jun general Wang Fangyi's underestimation of the enemy and the delay of military aircraft.Already unfamiliar with the local geographical environment, Wang Fangyi hastily decided to divide his troops and encircle and attack.

However, after launching the surprise attack, another group of soldiers and horses lost their way in the mountains and forests. As a result, the Japanese Allied Army fought back when the war was urgent. The Tang Army, which was mainly attacking, could not bear the pressure and had to retreat to protect itself.

It is said that the news of the defeat reached the Tang army camp outside Feiniao City. Li Qinzai, the head coach of the Tang army, was furious when he heard the news, and broke countless cups and saucers in the commander's tent.

Shocked and furious, Li County Duke also severely punished Wang Fangyi, ordering [-] army sticks, and reported to the emperor, demoting his post and reducing his salary, and led his troops to rest in place to restore the morale of the army.

This news was also spread, and the subjects inside and outside the Bird City heard it, so the news of Tang Jun's defeat was finally confirmed to be correct.

It goes without saying that the subjects are excited, and even more excited are the leaders of the alliance army.

A group of rabble won a battle inexplicably, and the leaders couldn't help but suspect that their ancestral graves were not only smoking, but even on fire.

Is winning so caught off guard, is it a gift from nature?

Although it is not clear why the Tang army was defeated, the confidence of the leaders skyrocketed and even began to swell.

Tang Jun is only mediocre, and I kill Tang Jun like slaughtering a dog.

The leader bursting with confidence immediately decided to march towards Bird City.

I heard that there are only more than [-] Tang troops stationed in Feiniao City, and Li Qinzai, the commander of the Tang Army, is also there. If Feiniao City is captured, Li Qinzai is captured alive, and the invaders of the Tang Army are defeated, wouldn't it be our decision in the Wa Kingdom?

As a result, more than [-] people from the alliance, under the leadership of the leader, rushed towards Bird City.

…………

Asuka City Royal Palace.

Brother Zhong walked out of the bedroom, first set up an incense table, and bowed down respectfully facing the direction of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. Swallowed up.

After wishing far away, Brother Zhong had to eat as usual, and after the meal, he went for a walk. In the past few years under house arrest, Brother Zhong repeated his monotonous and boring life every day.

In anyone's eyes, Brother Zhong behaved very submissively, he seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, in order to survive, he was willing to use all postures to meet and kneel and lick Datang.

Even in order to let Datang recognize the orthodoxy of the royal family, he did not hesitate to let his own daughter seduce Li Qinzai, conceive his child, and later become the crown prince of the Wa Kingdom in exchange for Li Qinzai's support, so that the royal family can last forever.

Brother Zhong was obviously subdued by Datang's military prestige, even if there were some small calculations occasionally, it would not harm the interests of Datang, but it was just for the sake of the royal family's descendants.

Such a person has been trained by Datang to be as docile and cute as an Akita dog. If someone says that he has evil intentions against Datang, no one will believe him.

A king who has been under house arrest for many years and his power has been completely emptied, he can't even get out of the palace, what else can he do to harm the interests of Datang?
The royal palace occupies quite a large area. Brother Zhong dismissed the palace attendants and walked alone in the vast and lonely garden.

Before the naval battle at Baijiangkou, the country of Wa was so beautiful. At that time, the royal family of Wa reached its peak of prestige and prestige in the country. Even Baekje and Silla had to send envoys frequently to make friends with the country of Wa.

In those years, people came and went in the royal palace, and the king and his ministers often met in the palace, enjoying flowers in the garden, playing chess on the waterside pavilion, and boating on the lake...

The country of Wa is not as vast as the Tang Dynasty, but the country of Wa has inherited the culture of the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty and has a strong military force. In those years, the country of Wa was full of flowers and flourished to the extreme.

However, after the failure of the Baijiangkou naval battle, everything changed.

In a naval battle, the entire navy accumulated by the Wa Kingdom for many years was wiped out. Not only that, the enemy, Datang, brazenly sent troops to land on Wa Island for revenge.

Under that miraculous firearm, more than [-] soldiers wiped out the whole country's army, and finally reached the capital and occupied the palace. All the king's officials had to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

The vicissitudes of life, the times are changing, too fast, Brother Zhong has not yet woken up from the dream of prosperity, but when he opened his eyes, he was already devastated, and the people were in dire straits.

The country is poor and weak, and the power and wealth that he cares about the most are gradually drifting away from him, and even the most basic freedom is lost.

The result of a war can change the lives of countless people, including the king's.

His Majesty the Emperor, who used to be the most glorious emperor, is now a prisoner. He still has to put on a smiling face to cater to the enemies who invaded and occupied his country.

Who can understand this feeling of humiliation?
At the end of the deserted garden, there is a remote and uninhabited corner, where many debris are piled up.

It was many years ago when the Wa country was still in its glory, Brother Zhong planned to repair some materials for the palace. Later, the country fell, and of course the palace did not need to be repaired. These materials have been piled up here all the time.

Brother Zhong walked up to the pile of rubble, and a figure flickered in the shadow of the rubble, and a middle-aged man dressed in palace clothes came out.

"Your Majesty, I have suffered." The middle-aged man knelt in front of Brother Zhong and wept uncontrollably.

Brother Zhong looked cold, and said in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, the palace is full of Tang people's eyeliner."

The middle-aged man nodded and wiped away his tears.

"I heard that the Tang army was defeated in the northern battle?" Brother Zhong asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I sent people to conduct a field investigation, and it was indeed defeated. The general of the Tang army, Wang Fangyi, led his army back fifty miles, and was severely reprimanded by Li Qinzai. There are still more severe punishments waiting for him..."

Brother Zhong frowned, and said worriedly: "Is it really lost? It can't be a trap by the Tang people, right?"

"It's really lost, the news is correct."

Brother Zhong was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled: "The people of Tang are not invincible, there is no invincible army, heh!"

The middle-aged man said worriedly again: "The coalition force that defeated the Tang army has more than [-] people and is heading towards Feiniao City. Judging by their posture, it seems that they are going to attack Feiniao City..."

Brother Zhong remained unmoved, and said calmly: "There are still [-] Tang troops stationed in Feiniao City, and it will not be so easy to take down."

"Aren't you worried, Your Majesty? The alliance forces are all rebels. If you really capture Asuka City, your Majesty's safety..."

Brother Zhong smiled and said, "So what? Even if they capture Asuka Castle, I am still the ruler of the Wa Kingdom. If I can capture Li Qinzai alive and drive the Tang army out of the island, then I will be His Majesty the Emperor of Yamato Kingdom! Yamato I will restore the country to its former glory."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a long time, and finally understood what he said, "The alliance force is..."

"Shut up!" Brother Zhong yelled coldly, and said, "Don't let the top secret matter out! Do you think I'm really a waste who has been under house arrest in the palace and can't do anything? You think I have been the lord of the country for many years, and I don't have anything in my hands!" Any power available?"

"Why should I ask the Tang army to wipe out the rebels? Why did I cause the whole country to be in chaos? Why did the Tang army mobilize troops and divide them into the north and the south, but only three thousand Tang troops remained in the capital? Why did the forces in the north suddenly form an alliance?" Brother Zhong said on his face. The proud look on the table is too lazy to hide at this moment.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man became more and more sincerely convinced by Brother Zhong, and couldn't help but knelt down in front of him.

"Your Majesty has strategized, and I admire you very much!"

Brother Zhong let out a sigh of relief slowly, and sighed: "I have been dormant for many years, and the situation in the Wa Kingdom should change. Do they really think that I have become a waste? Haha, haha! God will give you a reward! Now, it is waiting God-sent opportunity, let me revive the country and rejuvenate the royal family!"

The middle-aged man said excitedly: "If the alliance army captures Bird City and captures Li Qinzai alive, will the Tang army withdraw from the island?"

Brother Zhong shook his head: "Li Qinzai is not important, and it is not important whether the Tang army withdraws..."

"What's important then?"

"Tang Jun's ability to be invincible in the world is the most important thing. If I take it, it will not be limited to this island. I will ask how much the Haidong Peninsula is worth!" Brother Zhong's eyes were burning, it was the flame of ambition and desire for power.
