Wentang

Chapter 744
The situation gradually got out of control, and Wa Guokong had an advantage in military force but could not make use of it, and ran around like headless flies on the sea for tens of miles.

Some Datang warships used more advanced warships and tactics to erode the opponent's vitality little by little.

This battle lasted until dawn, most of the Japanese navy was wiped out, and the rest fled the battlefield seeing the situation was not good.

On the other side, Suga Okagawa sent someone to immediately take Suga, who was attacking the fortress of Treasure Island, to the boat.

Su Wo immediately lost his mind and said: "How could this happen, how could this happen. Tens of thousands of troops, this is a tens of thousands of troops, how could the entire army be wiped out overnight. Even if it is tens of thousands of pigs, with these thousands of Tang people It will take a few days."

Su Wo Okagawa said faintly: "Naval battles are like this. When the ship sinks, everything is lost."

Su Wo immediately glanced at him blankly, then rushed over madly and grabbed his collar and shouted: "You bastard, how did you lead the army? Su my family is about to be destroyed by your hands. Why do you If you still have the face to speak, why do you still have the face to live?"

Suga Okagawa looked at him indifferently, and then stabbed him in the stomach with a "shua".

"Ah!" Su Wo immediately looked down at the knife, then at Su Wo again, and said in disbelief, "Why?"

Suga Okagawa said: "Because I want to save the Suga family. Suga Eizu has aroused public anger at home and provoked powerful enemies abroad. If this goes on, the Suga family will definitely be destroyed by him. As a member of the Suga family Children and grandchildren, how can I watch the family be destroyed."

Su I immediately looked at him puzzled.

Su Wo Gangchuan sneered and said, "Don't understand? I'll let you be a fool. Didn't you just say that I'm not capable of commanding troops? You're wrong. If I can't, how could the Tang people wipe out Su Wo so easily? What about the army built by the barbarians?"

Su Wo finally understood something immediately, but this answer made him even more unbelievable: "What kind of benefits did the Tang people promise you to make you do such a rebellious thing."

Suga Okagawa said: "General Cai promised me that as long as Suga Ezo and his henchmen are killed, the Suga family can be preserved."

Su Wo immediately sneered, "Do you really think Tang Ren will keep his promise?"

Su Wo Okagawa smiled and said, "Of course they will, because the Tang people don't want the interior of the Wa Kingdom to become monolithic. They need the Su Wo family to disrupt the interior of the Wa Kingdom."

Su Wo immediately said: "You...you betrayed your family by killing each other, how can you be worthy of your ancestors, you will go to hell even after you die."

Suga Okagawa suddenly furiously said: "Cannibalism? You still have the face to say cannibalism? The Suga family has been passed down for hundreds of years. Who was the first to confront the same family with swords and swords? It was him, Suga Eizo."

"He sent someone to kill his own uncle because of a dispute 15 years ago, which set a precedent of brotherly cannibalism. Which of the other family members was not afraid of disobeying his will and being killed?"

"Do you think it's me alone who wants to form an alliance with the Tang people? No, it's the common wish of all collateral families. Do you understand now?"

Maybe it was due to excessive blood loss, or maybe it was because he couldn't accept the answer, Suga immediately lost consciousness, his body began to shake, and he let go of Suga Okazawa's collar.

"How can this happen, how can this happen."

Su Wo Okagawa said coldly: "Now you know what you should know, so go to hell with the truth. Don't worry, I will soon send the old man Su Wo Ezo down to reunite with you."

After speaking, he backhanded out the steel knife that was stuck in Su Gali's stomach.

"Pfft..." The blood suffocated in his stomach spewed out like a fountain, and the splashed deck was blood-red. Su Wo immediately fell to the ground and convulsed for a while before dying.

Suwo Okagawa was also sprayed a lot, but he didn't care, put the knife into the scabbard, and then ordered to his personal guards: "Gather the remaining troops and raise the white flag to surrender to the Tang people."

……

Wu Guofeng was still curious about what Cai Yang was selling, but he understood everything when he saw Su Wo Okagawa.

"This battle is related to the survival of the Suga family. The commander chosen must be the most trusted person in Suga. How did you manage to instigate him?"

Cai Yang was not trying to be a joke, and said: "Once some beliefs are broken, they will inevitably develop in the worst direction. Brothers and brothers should not fight each other is the belief that the Suwo family has passed down for hundreds of years."

"15 years ago, Suga killed his uncle. A few years ago, he was defeated by the governor, and he put all the responsibility on his son Suga, and he died inexplicably not long after. "

"Not only did he set a precedent of fratricide, but he also killed his own close relatives. A tiger does not eat its own sons, who can even kill his own sons, who would believe him?"

"The root of the disaster was already planted at that time. The greater his power, the more fearful others will be. When encountering some temptations, betrayal becomes a normal thing."

"Although he is very powerful now, he has actually fallen into internal and external difficulties. Even without us, internal opposition forces will swallow him up."

Wu Guofeng could only sigh with emotion: "A hundred causes must bear fruit, and Su Wo Eizo must have reaped the evil consequences of himself."

Cai Yang said: "Haha... don't care what he reaps, anyway, it's true that we won this battle. How about it, this trip was not in vain."

Wu Guofeng laughed heartily and said, "I would also like to thank Governor Cai for willing to share the credit with me."

Cai Yang said: "Without you, I would not be able to catch this big fish. Hey, if you say this news spread to Beijing, will someone impeach us for provoking border disputes?"

Wu Guofeng said: "Hehe... I guess the sage will be very happy to see this situation. These years, the newly opened territory of the Tang Dynasty is short of people to govern. It just happened to send those people who are full of benevolence and morality to use their justice to influence the barbarians."

"You have time to worry about this, so you should think about how to end it first."

Datang is too far away from the Wa country, so we should send the news back now, and wait for Chang'an to come up with opinions before sending people over, at least four or five months later.

This would delay things too much. As the governor of Xinma Island and the host of this war, Cai Yang must come up with his own opinions to decide the aftermath.

This is even more difficult than fighting a war. If the aftermath work is not done well, or the benefits obtained are not large enough, the DPRK and China will have opinions.

But Cai Yang was not worried, and said: "When the governor was transferred, he expected that today would happen, and he has already given advice on how to deal with it."

Wu Guofeng was surprised at first, and then said in admiration: "The governor is far-sighted, and I can't match him."

……

The timeline was stretched to four hours ago, when the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese navy were at war, and Tokyo, the Japanese country, was in the dead of night.

The only watchman on the street tapped the clapper in his hand once and for all, patrolling according to a fixed route.

"Chachachacha..." Suddenly, a rapid and dense voice came from afar.

He was very puzzled, where did this sound come from at night, so he stopped and stretched his neck to look in the direction of the sound.

Then I saw a shadow that couldn't be seen, like a huge bug, wriggling quickly towards his direction.

"Bing... Bing chaos?" This old watchman has also experienced many turmoil, and he knows what the situation in front of him means.There is going to be a military riot in Kyoto again, and I don't know which big man's family will be unlucky.

But now he can't care so much anymore, no matter who these people are targeting, if he doesn't hide now, he will be the first to suffer.

Looking around, he saw a relatively low wall, and immediately rushed over with a movement that did not match his age, and jumped in as soon as he pressed his hands on the top of the wall.Then curled up in the shadow of the corner, motionless.

"Chachachacha..." The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and soon came to my ears.

The watchman trembled from fear and dared not move.

Outside the walls, thousands of heavily armed soldiers sprinted along the street in a certain direction, making no sound other than the sound of footsteps.

When the sound of footsteps gradually disappeared, the watchman climbed up tremblingly, carefully leaned on the wall and looked out, only to find that there was no one there.

He looked in the direction where the sound was going away, he was too familiar with the capital, and he could roughly guess which important person's home it was just by looking at the direction.

This time was no exception, he did know whose home it was over there.

The seat of Minister Suga's family.

This fact made him even more frightened. What are these soldiers going to Su Wo's family land in the middle of the night?Is it to help them clean up?
There is only one possibility... the country of Wa is about to change.

The watchman was extremely frightened, no, I have to go home quickly and let the children hide.

Thinking of this, he plucked up his courage, barely climbed over the wall with his weak legs, and ran to his home with some scrambling.

The candlelight in the room of the Patriarch Soga Ezo, the family land of the Soga family, is always on.

Chasing away the concubine Ji who came to invite him to rest again, he turned his head and glanced at a gorgeous clock in front of him, was it twelve o'clock in the middle of the night?

I don't know what's going on with Suwo Okagawa, whether he has won Treasure Island or not.If you can successfully win here, you only need to take a brief rest before you can set off, rush to Xinma Island before dawn, and block Tang Jun in the port.

Everything was planned perfectly, and the Tang people were not aware of their actions because of the chaos caused by the alternation of governors.

Su Wo Okagawa is also a rising star in the family, his talent is no less than that of his eldest son Su Wo Rulu, and the chance of success is very high.

For some reason, the image of Su Wo falling into a deer suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.What's wrong with me?I never thought of him before, why do I always think of him today.

For some reason, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.But he didn't want to admit it, so he murmured with a forced smile:
Don't you know that today I'm going to attack Tang?Don't worry, I will definitely kill Tang Ren and avenge you.Please bless your family prosperity in the kingdom of heaven.

After thinking this way, he felt that his mood was much better, and the ominous premonition disappeared.

This made him smile at himself, when did he start to be paranoid.Still, the domestic pressure is too great, but everything will change after today.

His Suwo family will become the heroes of the Wa Kingdom, let's see who dares to oppose it.

"Kill, kill the old Ezo thief Suga."

"what……"

"Stop them quickly."

At this moment, the sound of violent fighting and successive screams came, Su Wo Eizi was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, what happened outside?"

A waiter immediately pushed the door open and said, "I have sent people to investigate, but there is no news yet."

Su Wo said angrily: "Trash, I'm going to investigate."

"Yes." The waiter hurriedly withdrew and ran all the way to the front to check the situation.

Suga Ezo turned around in a hurry in the room, that ominous premonition rose again, and it became stronger and stronger.Wouldn't someone really take this opportunity to think of killing him?

But he immediately sneered again, how could he not have thought of this move, he had built the family into a defensive fortress long ago.

There is a gate built outside the house, and next to it is the armory. Each gate is equipped with a sink, wooden hooks, etc.It can effectively resist enemy attacks and prevent fire attacks.

This time, he also transferred nearly a thousand dead soldiers raised by the family back to defend, no one would be able to attack easily.

And as long as he can hold on for a while, his allies will be able to react and give him support, and then the inside and outside should cooperate to kill everyone who opposed him today.

He even thought about whether he should take this opportunity to abolish the monarch and make himself king.

Soon a blood-stained waiter stumbled in and yelled, "The head of the family is not good. Brother Zhong, the prince, and Zhongchen Lianzu have already broken through the gate and rushed in."

Su Wo was shocked, and said, "How is it possible, the gate is so secure, how could they break in so easily?"

The waiter said: "It was Suga Ishikawa Maro, who opened the gate from the inside to let the enemy in."

"Ah?" Su Wo Eizo staggered back three or four steps, and sat down on the ground.

"How did this happen, how did this happen. Why did you betray the family, why did you betray the family."

"Patriarch, please move to the other courtyard from the secret path as soon as possible, and regroup your troops to fight against these traitors." The waiter urged.

"Secret way? Hehe..." Suga Eizo said with a sad smile, "Ishikawa Maro has rebelled, so there is no secret way to speak of."

"Then what should we do?" the waiter asked anxiously.

After all, Su Wo Ezo is a person who has been in power for decades, and he still has a certain bearing. He quickly stabilized his emotions and said in a deep voice: "Go, go to the front, I want to ask Ishikawa Maro what he thinks, dare you Betrayal of the family."

"Ah. This... yes, I will lead the way for you." The waiter said hurriedly.

Suga Ezo picked up his sword and followed closely behind.

Along the way, there were remnants of retreating soldiers trying to run in, but after seeing Suga Ezo, they all staggered to follow.

Before he could reach the front yard, he saw the dead soldiers of the family retreating while fighting, and quickly entered the middle gate.

Seeing him, the patriarch, appeared as if they had seen the backbone, these dead soldiers were so morale boosted that they stalemate for a while.

Su Wo Ezo came to the front of the battle and shouted: "Stop."

Just as the so-called tiger is still dying, the two sides who are fighting really stopped.

He glanced around for a week, and shouted again: "Prince Zhong Daxie and Soga Ishikawa Maro came to see me."

The group of enemies glanced at each other, and finally one of them turned around and ran towards the front yard.

Su Wo Ezo did not order a counterattack, and those who invaded did not continue to attack, and the two sides calmed down strangely.

Not long after, Brother Naka and Soga Ishikawa Maro came here.

Brother Zhong saluted and said, "I pay my respects to Your Excellency, Minister."

Su Wo Ezo nodded and said in an appreciative tone: "That's right, you are more courageous than your elder brother Gu Ren, and you will be the king of the country in the future."

The eldest brother, the prince, said indifferently: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your praise, I am ashamed to take it. I am not as good as my brother."

Su Wo Eizo didn't believe his words, but he didn't expose it either. Instead, he said, "The Tang Dynasty's ambitions never stop there. I hope you can understand this truth. In the future, don't let the inheritance of the Wa Kingdom be cut off in your hands."

The Prince Zhong's expression became more serious, and he said, "Minister Xie reminded me, I know what to do."

Soga Ezo ignored him, but turned to look at Soga Ishikawa Maro, his expression became angry, and he shouted: "Ishikawa Maro, why did you betray the family?"

Soga Ishikawa Maro remembered the fear of being dominated by the other party, and took a step back in fright, but immediately remembered the current situation, and summoned up courage:
"Betrayal? When you killed my father, did you ever think that siblings should not kill each other? Since then, you are no longer the head of the Suwo family, but a family thief. Killing you is not only to avenge your father, but also to eliminate the thief. .”

Su Wo staggered back a step, and the waiter beside him quickly supported him.He shook off the waiter and asked with the last hope:

"Let me ask you one last question, how is the army conquering Datang?"

Suga Ishikawa Maro was silent for a moment before bowing his head and replying: "Suga Okagawa is one of our people, the people of Tang knew about your plan a long time ago, and have already set up an ambush on Treasure Island."

"Ahaha..." The last ray of hope was shattered, and Su Wo Eizo sank into the bottom of the abyss, laughing sadly.

"You...you are really good. That army is not only the strength of Su's family, but also the essence of our country. You actually sold them just like this. Well, well, you are all good."

Seeing the hesitation of the surrounding soldiers, the eldest brother, the prince, realized that he could not drag on any longer, and shouted:

"All of this was caused by you Suga Ezo. If it weren't for you, why would the fire of Hyogo Port happen, and how would we cede Treasure Island to Datang?"

"You have no ruler in your eyes, you deceive your subordinates and conceal your superiors, you are corrupt and corrupt the law, and neglect human life... Today we will eliminate you, a national thief, and restore the glory of our country."

"Soldiers, get rid of thieves and kill them."

Those soldiers immediately dropped all hesitation and raised their weapons to kill Suga Ezo.

Su Wo Eizo did not panic, and said: "Stop them." Then he turned around and walked towards the bedroom, leaving the soldiers from both sides to fight together.

After returning to the bedroom, Suga carefully looked at everything in the room, as if he wanted to keep them firmly in his heart.

When passing by the lamp, he knocked the lamp to the ground with a scabbard, causing the lamp oil to splash, and the flames spread along with the lamp oil.

A generation of power minister Suwo Eizo set himself on fire in the mutiny, and the relationship between Tang Dynasty and Wa Kingdom also entered a new chapter.

But this is not the end, there are aftermath negotiations waiting for the two countries.
