"That's the end of it... What about our casualties? ”

Looking at the dead corpses in front of him, Cheng Chumo shouted a little unhappily.

"The regimental general... We got two wounded, and because we split so hard, we twisted our arms...! "A tiger soldier came to report.

"What are you doing... I have said it many times, you have to use skill, you have to use skill, how can you still split forward, and when your arms are good, you have to pull them out and practice alone...! ”

"Yes...!"

Just as he was talking, Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing rode over, and as soon as they saw Cheng Shimo, Yu Chi Baolin shouted: "What should I do now... Half of this city has been burned, shall we enter or not? ”

At this time, Cheng Chumo was also stupid, looking at the still burning Hyuga City, at this time, Cheng Chumo also regretted it, he knew that the combat power of this Hyuga family was so weak, Cheng Chumo didn't need fierce fire oil, how good it would be to directly trick these people out of the field.

Now it's okay, a good city has been burned, and the other party is still a group of powerless guys, if Li Zhan knows about this, there may not be punishment, but he will definitely be scolded.

Cheng Chumo looked at the still burning Hyuga City and said a little bitterly: "What is this thing called, I can't even hold on for half an hour, it's really harmful?" ”

What's more, Cheng Chumo was worried that if he went in to fight the fire, he would be attacked by the people of the Hyuga family, but if he didn't put out the fire, he couldn't watch his things being burned.

Just when Cheng Chu was silent, he didn't know whether to go into the city to put out the fire or wait in place.

Hizen Ichifu came over, and he proposed a better solution, that is, the Hizen family entered Hyuga Castle to put out the fire, and then the Tiger Army was on guard outside... Cheng Chumo immediately smiled approvingly: "Okay... Good... This is good, Yifu Jun, you hurry back and call someone, we will tell you how to put out the fire, you must save the fire quickly, and you can't let the fire burn again. ”

Hizen Ichifu also showed an excited look and said, "Yes... I'll go right away...! ”

........................

Hyuga Castle was easily taken down, probably in the afternoon, Hizen Masaya, who was still in Higo's house, got the news of his son, and the Tiger Ben Army captured Hyuga Castle in less than an hour.

The 3,000 troops of the Hyuga family took the initiative to meet the Tiger Army, and were slaughtered by the Tiger Army, and what is even more terrifying is that the Tiger Army has a kind of inextinguishable hellfire, which is very terrible.

With this news, our Hizen Masaya was smiling too happily.

Soon, Hizen Zhengya saw the head of the Higo family again, and this time the identities of the two had been transferred, and the head of the Higo family knelt in front of Hizen Masaya and shouted: "Please introduce Hizen-kun, our Higo family wants to become a retainer of His Royal Highness the eldest son of the Tang Emperor." ”

Hizen Masaya looked at the head of the Higo family who was kneeling in front of him, and showed a faint smile and said, "Very good... This is your correct attitude, I think you may have heard that the Tiger Ben Army of His Royal Highness the eldest son of the Tang Emperor broke through the Hyuga City of the Hyuga family in less than an hour.

What I can tell you is that this is the strength of Datang, so Feihoujun and I went to my home to meet His Royal Highness the eldest son of Datang, and we want to become the closest confidant of His Royal Highness the eldest son.

As long as His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor is willing, then in the future, our Feiqian and Feihou families may also have higher development. ”

"I see... Zhengya-kun... Walk... Let's leave now, and I will definitely be the most loyal person of His Royal Highness the eldest son like you...! ”

The words of the head of the Higo family made Hizen Masaya smile slightly.

Three days later... Li Zhan settled in Hyuga City, and the Hyuga family was officially removed by Li Zhan, and the people who accompanied Li Zhan into Hyuga City were the Hizen and Higo families, and Li Zhan gave the Hyuga City and the armor that originally belonged to the Hyuga family to the Hizen and Higo families, which also improved the military strength of the Hizen and Higo families.

But what is interesting is that just when Li Zhan was preparing to march to Kyoto with his army.

An army of nearly 5,000 people from the Su family, but it attacked the Hyuga Castle where Li Zhan was at this time, at first Li Zhan didn't know what the situation was, and later according to the news of Hizen Masaya, it was said that the daughter of the Hyuga family was married to the general of the Su I family who led the team.

At this time, Li Zhan knew that this was his son-in-law who came to avenge his father-in-law.

You must know that all the troops of the Su I clan add up to about 20,000 people, and this son-in-law of the Hyuga family can lead 5,000 people, needless to say that the other party is also a person with a transcendent status.

Li Zhan also carefully checked the details of this man named Su I Mazi.

I don't know if I don't check this, but I am scared when I check it, this Su I Ma Zi has a martial strategy and eloquence, "wise and courageous, decisive in handling things, and worshiping Buddhism." The house is on the Asuka River, and there is a small pond in the yard, and a small island is built in the pond. For this reason, people called him the Minister of the Island.

The person he loves most in this life is his wife Hinata Shin... Hinata Xin is the daughter of the Hyuga family.

Once there was a conflict between this Su I Ma Zi and the Monobe clan, Ma Zi personally led various armies to attack the Monobu Shou House, and the Monobe clan was defeated again and again, not only the family property was exhausted, but even the grange and people to which it belonged were all confiscated.

Following this Su I Mazi also followed Cao Cao's example, and the prince of Bo Sebe was the king, and he was called the Emperor Chongjun. It was also in this way that the Su family came to the peak of politics, but later the Su I clan got away.

Let the first empress be born, and then start a crazy suppression of the Su I clan, otherwise, the Su I clan will definitely not cooperate with the Monobe clan.

And because the Soga clan wants to cooperate with the Monobe clan, the Soga Mako has been adjusted, and it has been lowered a little in disguise, and it is not inside the Soga clan, and it is put on the side of Hiroshima.

After all, Su I Mazi once killed a lot of people from the Monobe clan.

This time, Li Zhan attacked Hinata's family, and directly killed Hinata's family, of course, it was not killed by Li Zhan, these people were basically killed by the Hizen and Higo families.

But other people's bookkeeping was recorded on Li Zhan's body.

A member of the Hyuga family who escaped from Hyuga City told Su Ma Zi about the Hyuga family, and Su Ma Zi happened to be unhappy during this time, and someone came up to make trouble, and he happened to lead the army to kill him once.

It's just that this Su I Mazi won't know that the person he wants to kill this time is the person he can't provoke, Li Zhan has 6,000 tiger troops, 1,000 people from the Hizen family, 1,000 people from the Feihou family, a total of 8,000 people, and more importantly, this time Li Zhan is the defender, and Hyuga City is in the hands of Li Zhan.

Five thousand against eight thousand defenders, this Su Ma Zi is really crazy, thinking that he is the strongest man in the island country, if he is not so crazy, there will be no such unequal attack.

Night... Li Zhan lives in Hinata's house.

Most of the Wajima has a mild climate, abundant rainfall, and is rich in wood, and the wooden frame and grass roof is the traditional form of Wajima architecture. The house has an open layout with raised floors and far-reaching eaves.

The living room is small and exquisite, and the columns, beams, siding, etc. are not painted. Indoor wooden floors are laid with cushions, usually made of straw mats, called "stacks" (Chinese transliteration of "tatami mats"), on which to sit and sleep.

There is also a rule in Wajima that only one generation will live in one house, and the next generation will build a new house to live in.

This house of the Hyuga family, the master dormitory is in the center, the left, right, and back three sides are the "opposite house" where the dependents live, there is a corridor between the dormitory and the opposite house, there is a garden pond in the south of the dormitory, and a pavilion is set up next to the pool, and the corridor is connected with the opposite house for viewing and recreation.

Li Zhan sat in it, while Xinzi poured wine for Li Zhan, in front of Li Zhan, Zhang Yaozu knelt and sat and talked to Li Zhan, as for the other Cheng Chumo and others, Li Zhan couldn't find it, if nothing else, it should be with the woman of Wadao.

It's time for these people to rectify and rectify, they already know that Su Ma Zi is coming over, these people are not nervous at all, it's really wrong.

"Your Highness... I have already sent someone back to the city, and I believe that I will soon get news from Li Cheng and Xin'an...! ”

"You said that Xin'an is pregnant, how many months?" Li Zhan asked.

"Back to Your Highness, I don't know how many months it will be, but what I do know is that after Xing'an came to Wadao, he found out that he was pregnant, so it is 100% His Highness, if I have a little lie about this matter, please give His Highness death...!" After speaking, Zhang Yaozu knelt down.

"Hey...!" Li Zhan waved his hand and said, "It's not that I don't believe you...!" I'm just worried about Jing'an, Jing'an and I are walking together, I know that Jing'an is a person. ”

"It's... When I was with Jing An, she often missed Your Highness, but her mother was too much! Zhang Yaozu said.

"Satomi Tachibana?" Li Zhan smiled: "I actually think it's okay, there's nothing wrong with using my daughter, but the only thing that's wrong is that Tachibana Satomi takes her son-in-law too lightly, but, even so, my son-in-law has to help Tachibana Satomi this time." ”

"What does Your Highness mean?" Zhang Yaozu looked at Li Zhan with some puzzlement.

Li Zhan said with a smile: "Of course, I helped Tachibana Satomi to secure the position of the empress, by the way, Uncle Zhang, I heard Li Cheng say that there are a lot of gold and silver mines on this island, I don't know if it's true or fake." ”

"I don't know much about that." Zhang Yaozu shook his head slightly.

Don't blame Chang Zhang Yaozu, this guy is a pirate, he doesn't have Li Cheng's mind, so he doesn't know what it should be, but when the two of them were talking, what Li Zhan didn't expect was that Xinzi on the side suddenly spoke.

I saw her bowing down and looking at Zhang Yaozu and asking, "Mr. Zhang, I want to ask you, is it gold that His Highness said just now?" ”

Zhang Yaozu was stunned, but he didn't expect Xinzi to understand some of the words of the two, so Zhang Yaozu nodded and said, "Yes... Your Highness asked me if I knew where the gold was, but unfortunately I didn't. ”

"Ahh There was a scream, and I saw a happy expression on Kaoko's face.

This made Li Zhan and Zhang Yaozu look a little inexplicable, but what surprised Li Zhan and Zhang Yaozu was that Xinzi hurriedly ran away, and then hurriedly ran back, only this time she hurriedly ran back, holding a yellow gold nugget in her hand.

"I picked this up... There's many, many more in Kagoshima... Is this gold? ”

Li Zhan and Zhang Yaozu were directly dumbfounded, in fact, the two of them didn't know that in Kagoshima, just below Hinata's house and Higo's house, there is a place called Ryokari, which is about 45km north-northeast of Kagoshima City in southern Kyushu, Japan, and in the northeast of the Kitasa region!

There is a large vein called the Ryokari Gold Mine, and this gold vein contains at least 100 tons of gold... In addition, the gold and silver mines in Wajima are relatively shallow, which is easy to mine.

For example, China's gold and silver production is now the world's leading, but because most of them are associated mines, it is not until modern times that the output has not gone up, in fact, ancient China has always been a poor silver country, and some people even say that "Ming died in silver".

In fact, the total amount is not very much in modern times, but at that time, when the technology was generally underdeveloped, it was the largest amount of mines that could be mined.

"Holy...!" Li Zhan was surprised, and took the gold in his hand, weighing at least three catties... Then Li Zhan looked up at Xinzi in surprise and asked, "Xinzi, where did you get this?" ”

"Your Highness, I already said that I picked it up in Kagoshima, but that place is very remote, so only I know it, and I don't know if this yellow stone is gold, so I have been keeping it."

"Haha...!" Finally, Li Zhan laughed heartily, he took Xinzi into his arms and said: "Xinzi has made a meritorious service, just say what you want...!" ”

After Zhang Yaozu translated Li Zhan's words to Xinzi, Xinzi, who was in Li Zhan's arms, immediately showed a happy expression and said, "Is it okay if I want a crystal mirror?" ”

followed Zhang Yaozu and translated Xinzi's words to Li Zhan with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Zhan laughed happily again, and then nodded: "Three crystal mirrors, thirty brocades, ten bottles of perfume, soap, and fifteen boxes of soap...!" ”

After Zhang Yaozu translated Li Zhan's words to Xin'er, Xin'er immediately cheered, hugged Li Zhan and kissed her.

This scene made Zhang Yaozu and Li Zhan both laugh loudly.

Li Zhan really didn't expect that there was a big golden vein in the place he had just laid down, and Li Zhan originally thought that the golden veins of Wajima would be concentrated in Kyoto, because Kyoto is the central location of Wajima, where the terrain is flat and there are many hot springs.

In general, where there are hot springs, the probability of breeding gold mines increases.

But it was really too unexpected to enter, Li Zhan just wanted to ask Zhang Yaozu if he had heard of a gold mine, but who knew, so he gave himself a big gold vein.

However, just when Li Zhan was happy, what Li Zhan didn't expect was that a big battle was about to start, at least Li Zhan thought it was a big war at first, after all, the other party was a very famous general in Wajima.

Su Ma Zi traveled day and night, so that what would have taken three days of travel became a day and a half, and just when Li Zhan wanted to send someone to explore the Kagoshima gold mine, the five thousand people of Su Ma Zi had already come to Hyuga Castle.

It can be said that this 5,000-strong army is much stronger than the army of the Hyuga family and the Hichi-before and Higo families, at least everyone in this group has a pair of armor.

It's just that what Li Zhan doesn't know is that most of these armors are bamboo armor, with bamboo armor on the outside and leather armor on the inside... This set was the strongest equipment in Wajima at the time... Very few Wajima people could be equipped with such a suit of armor at this time.
