The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1118 Fuso’s Patriots

When Li Xiang came out, Mr. Suzuki also came in a carriage from a distance. He must have heard the news. Li Xiang should have many questions to ask him, so he didn't wait for Li Xiang to send someone to find this guy. He asked his men to bring the carriage over.

"The situation is a bit urgent. Let's talk on the carriage. Now we will go to the military camp in the northwest."

The capital of Fuso is surrounded by the sea to the south and land to the north. The Futian family's army came from the northwest, so Li Xiang had to go to a military camp in the northwest first.

There are not too many troops stationed in the capital at present, only 500 people. There are also more than 7000 Fuso troops, but these people have just surrendered. Although Lord Suzuki has found a new general to take over, But how many people these people can control is actually unknown.

Fuso's troops are now staying in the barracks and patrolling the city every specified time. On the surface, they have accepted the leadership of Datang. That's because there have been no changes now, but if Futian If the family's army arrives outside the city, it's hard to say who these 7000 people will help.

If he had known this, Li Xiang would not have sent out Fujii Jiro. This guy has some ability for the army.

"We don't fight uncertain battles. You should immediately write a letter to Su Dingfang and ask him to send reinforcements from Fukuoka and Nagasaki."

Li Xiang did not take Su Dingfang with him this time, because General Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin had returned to China, so they had to leave someone there. Before the new general came, Su Dingfang stayed in Fukuoka. .

As a naval general, Ding Tu could also guard one side, but regarding matters on land, Li Xiang felt that it was better to let Su Dingfang handle it.

Hearing Li Xiang's arrangement, Mr. Suzuki nodded beside him. He has been with Li Xiang these days, and he also knows how Li Xiang succeeded. That is, many things are not risky, and they start immediately after they happen. When mobilizing the troops around you, the most trustworthy thing is not the so-called odds, but the troops with weapons in their hands.

Only when the Tang Dynasty troops are stationed around will Li Xiang feel absolutely safe. This is not just what Li Xiang thinks. More and more people in the Tang Dynasty think this way, so when the Futian family rebels When he came over, Li Xiang's first thought was to mobilize the army.

"How many other armies around the capital can be used? What I said is absolutely certain. If you are in that ambiguous situation, transfer them as soon as possible so as not to let them stay there to cause trouble for us. Can we do it at the critical moment? Any sloppiness.”

Li Xiang knew that there were many Fuso troops around the capital, but it was hard to judge how much of these people could be trusted. After all, everyone had expressed their loyalty, and so far no one had done anything excessive. Son, I just don't know if they can still perform like this after the Futian family's army comes.

"Your Highness, please give me one day." Suzuki Chutai is a pragmatic person. He cannot answer Li Xiang's question casually. Li Xiang thought for a while that one day would be enough to defeat the troops around the capital. It was clear that although the day was a little tight, Li Xiang didn't have much time left.

According to intelligence, the army assembled by the Fukuda family is less than two days away from the capital. The Fuso army is not moving very fast, but Fuso's territory is too small. The Fukuda family and the emperor are on Honshu Island together, so if they want to come over , it was also very fast. If it were not for waiting for the armies of other princes, I am afraid they would have killed them long ago.

After arriving at the military camp, Li Xiang found that the place had entered a state of combat readiness. These were all troops of the Tang Dynasty Navy. When the Datang Navy was established, Li Xiang asked them to form an army similar to the Marine Corps. Unexpectedly, Use it now.

According to these people's thoughts, the Fuso people should have been subdued, but they did not expect that such a situation would happen again. If this is the case, then we can only use heads to silence them and not kill them. The main resistance force is scared. I am afraid that similar things will happen more often in the future. According to what our Highness said, if you want peace, you must go to war first.

Why were the officials in the capital and the emperor's ministers afraid?Just because they all know how powerful Li Xiang is, why doesn't this Fukuda Yasukawa know?It was because the two sides had never fought each other before, and he believed that he could assemble tens of thousands of troops, which would also be an opportunity for the Futian family.

When the emperor was announced to go to Chang'an, Fukuda Yasukawa thought that the opportunity had come. The emperor's reputation among the common people had plummeted. No one thought that this person could continue to be the emperor of Fuso. If Fukuda Yasukawa could If the Tang army is driven back, then some things may be different. This is the savior of the entire Fusang.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Fukuda Yasukawa secretly contacted several other princes, and then assembled an army of nearly 20, claiming to have [-] troops. They were going to Chang'an to ask the emperor.

Asking the King is an ancient saying in Fuso, that is, when there is a problem with the emperor's rule, the princes and kings will gather their troops and go to the capital to ask the emperor what is going on. Of course, this is rebellion. A more beautiful way of saying it is actually to put it bluntly, it means rebellion.

Although the armies of the Tang Dynasty are very powerful, it is unlikely that they only have a few thousand troops. There are also some other armies scattered in the city, and the total number of them is less than 4000. Use these 4000 people to fight against the Futian family. Even Li Xiang has no confidence in commanding the [-]-strong army.

Li Xiang has been staring at the sand table for a long time. We don't have much chance on land, but there are still many opportunities on the ocean. But in the end, he shook his head helplessly. Although the naval guns of the naval warships are powerful, But the bombardment range is limited.

If they come from the north, they will only have a chance to retreat into the city. If they keep fighting outside the city, the artillery of the naval warships will not be able to reach them.

Now that the capital has just stabilized, Li Xiang will never abandon the capital and let them in. If that happens, the newly built confidence will be shattered, and the chaos in the city will happen again, even more serious than the last time.
