Yipin Tang

Chapter 416 I Like It

When Miyamoto Dazhi and Wang Xiang came to the imperial city, they found that the rebels in the imperial city had gone, leaving only the people of Fusang who didn't know why.

Recapturing the imperial city is a very important matter. Miyamoto Daichi immediately sent someone to notify Matsudaira Ichiro to escort Emperor Jitong to the imperial city. As long as the emperor returns to the imperial city, he can call for more power.

Even if Wang Xiang and Li Yuanba could bear it if they ran for several days, ordinary people like Miyamoto Dazhi couldn't bear it, so after occupying the imperial city, they were not in a hurry to continue their actions, but settled down in the imperial city now.

Suga Ezo still occupies most of the Fusang city, and Miyamoto Daichi still has to send people to investigate where they retreated after abandoning the imperial city.

Wang Xiang, Li Yuanba and others stayed in the Fusang Palace for the time being. After a few days, Ichiro Matsudaira took the Fusang soldiers from Asuka City to escort Shizuka Miyamoto to the Imperial City.

At this time, the fleeing rebels and the people of Fusang passed on the rumors, and the several battles in which Wang Xiang and others rushed to the city were also spread in Fusang. The rumors of the demon god became more and more mysterious. The rebel army occupied Caicheng and voluntarily surrendered to Emperor Jitong. They felt that the demon god was sent by Amaterasu to help Emperor Jitong. It can be seen that Emperor Jitong is orthodox.This result was unexpected by Wang Xiang and Miyamoto Taichi.

After staying in the imperial city for a few days without doing anything like this, the strength of the side holding the emperor has become much stronger. Su Wo Eizi was anxious and angry, but he dared not do anything with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hand.

The Minister of Fusang, who had originally dismissed the rumor of the Demon God, was a little at a loss at this time. Leaving aside the truth and falsehood of the Demon God’s theory, more and more Fusang soldiers who had fled back had already affirmed the dozen or so people from the Tang Dynasty. It is terrifying, that is to say, the battle of Asuka City that Suga Eizo said was true, and the person who can kill a [-] army with one person turned his back on his back and fled. Who would not be afraid of such an enemy.

"Master Suga, the prestige of Emperor Jitong is getting stronger and stronger, and many cities have already taken refuge in them. If this continues, the situation will be very unfavorable to us."

Su Wo Ezo rubbed his head and said irritably, "What can you do?"

The minister who spoke rolled his eyes and said, "If those Tang people are really as powerful as they say..."

"Don't doubt it, what I saw with my own eyes is even scarier than rumors!" Seeing that he was still skeptical, Su Woxi immediately became impatient.

"Yes, I'm just curious why those Tang people helped Emperor Jitong?"

"Hmph, why else, Matsudaira Ichiro was sent to the Tang Dynasty, and those Tang people came back with him, he must be asking for reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty!"

"Master Su, Fusang has not belonged to Datang, and it is still separated by a vast sea. Datang will definitely not send troops to help for no reason."

Suga Ezo frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

The minister said to himself: "I think it must be Ichiro Matsudaira who promised the Tang people the benefits and the Tang Dynasty will send people to help. Since the people who hold the emperor can promise benefits to the Tang people, we can also give them benefits. With our current power, we can give them. More benefits, when these Tang people are used by us..."

Su Wo Eizo nodded when he heard the words and thought about it, and after a while he said: "Send someone to find out what benefits Matsuhei Ichiro promised the Tang people, and... find out why those Tang people are so powerful."

Although he gave up the imperial city, Soga Eizo's power is still much stronger than that of Emperor Jitong, and it was soon found out that Matsudaira Ichiro promised five cities in the southwest. As for Li Yuanba's strength, there was no clue.

Su Wo Eizo was worried that Wang Xiang and others would launch an attack again, so he immediately sent someone secretly to the imperial city.

Wang Xiang met the envoy sent by Soga Ezo, he was a shrewd old man, he could speak Chinese more fluently than Matsudaira Ichiro, and he claimed to be the most trusted minister under Soga Ezo, and he was extremely respectful when he met him. Expressed Suga's admiration for Datang, and then praised Wang Xiang and the Tang army he brought.

Wang Xiang listened to his flattery and compliments with a smile on his face and didn't speak. Seeing Wang Xiang's calm look, the old man secretly sighed and directly explained his purpose of coming.

"You mean Suga Ezo wants me to help him deal with Emperor Jitong?" Wang Xiang still had a faint smile on his face.

The old man couldn't see what was going on in Wang Xiang's mind, nodded his head and said, "Yes, our lord Suga said that as long as Lord Hou is willing to help us, besides the five cities in the southwest promised by Ichiro Matsudaira, our lord will also give additional gifts to Hou. Lord, two more prosperous cities."

"Send two more cities." Wang Xiang said noncommittally.

The old man hurriedly said: "Yes, Lord Hou also knows that Emperor Jitong doesn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, and our Lord Suga has a large army in his hands, which is much stronger than Emperor Jitong. Helping us must be more important than helping Emperor Jitong." easy."

Wang Xiang shook his head when he heard the words: "No, no, I don't think there is any difference between helping you and helping Emperor Jitong. The ten thousand army and the one hundred thousand army are actually the same to me."

This sentence can be described as extremely arrogant, but the old man did not dare to refute. With the power of one person, tens of thousands of troops can be defeated. If Wang Xiang has more than a dozen people with such strength, there is really no big difference between a ten thousand army and a hundred thousand army. .

Wang Xiang smiled lightly and said, "As for the two cities, my subordinates can capture six cities including Fengpu City and Huangcheng in a few days, do you think I will care about the two extra cities you gave me?" ?”

Hearing Wang Xiang's words, the old man opened his mouth and didn't know how to respond. Wang Xiang was right. Whether it was the strength gap between the two sides or the city, it didn't make any difference to him, and he didn't need to think about it so much.

"Then why do you want to help Emperor Jitong?" The old man asked directly in a hurry.

Wang Xiang said casually: "No reason, I like it."

This time the old man was completely out of control, and his whole heart sank. To have strength is to be self-willed, and the three words "I like" are enough.

In fact, for Wang Xiang, it doesn’t make any difference to help anyone. He has already regarded Fusang as his back garden. No matter who is the emperor, he has the final say on the whole Fusang.

The reason why I chose to help Emperor Chitong was because Masaichi Kawamura was on the side of Emperor Chitong. Second, Ichiro Matsudaira also gave Wang Xiang a lot of benefits, whether it was in Datang or in Fuso. Matsudaira Ichiro is very respectful to him, and he is really embarrassed to ask him to help Suga Ezo bully the honest Matsudaira Ichiro.Another reason is that Shizuka Miyamoto, a little loli, looks much more pleasing to the eye than Suga Ezo. I don't know if Suga Ezo will vomit blood in anger if he knows this reason.
