"Satomi Tachibana will pay for her actions...!"

Monobe Ooyu let out his own roar, why is Monobe Ooyu still so angry, because just now Tachibana Rimitto came over with a message, saying that the alliance between the two families has been temporarily suspended.

This made Monobe Oyu, who was ready to be the groom, feel humiliated.

You must know that Monobe Oyu is not a good bully, and Tachibana Satomi's behavior directly angered this Monobe Oyu, so Monobe Oyu wants to give Tachibana Satomi some hardship.

Just when Tachibana Satomi sent an envoy to Shimane to find Li Zhan, Monobe Oyu also tore his face with Tachibana Satomi, and the army of the 5,000 Monobe family officially declared war on the Tachibana clan.

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

A few days later, before Li Zhan, who had returned to Shimane, could start deciding whether to attack Kyoto or let the fleet return, Li Zhan suddenly received a report that the Kyoto envoy had arrived.

"Satomi Tachibana's messenger...!" Li Zhan was slightly stunned.

followed Li Zhan out to meet with the Kyoto envoy, but after Li Zhan went out, he heard Li Cheng's scolding before he saw the Kyoto envoy.

"Kibi Majima... You return my daughter, you bastard, if you hadn't lied to my daughter, how could my daughter have been arrested...! ”

On the other side, there was a panicked explanation: "Chengjun, I'm really sorry, but I really don't know, I was also deceived." ”

"Phew... Do you think I'm going to believe your nonsense, you've been deceived, and you and Satomi Tachibana are the same thing...! Li Cheng scolded loudly, his tone was full of anger.

At this moment, Li Zhan walked over.

Seeing Li Zhan, Li Cheng stopped scolding this time, and then bowed down and said, "Your Highness...!" ”

As soon as he saw Li Cheng calling Li Zhan His Royal Highness, Jibei Zhendao on the side also hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Jibei Zhendao, meet His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Tang Emperor...!" ”

"Are you an envoy from Kyoto?" Li Zhan asked with a smile.

As soon as he finished asking, Li Cheng shouted: "Your Highness, don't be deceived by this guy, this Kibi Majima is Tachibana Satomi's number one loyal minister, he must have come to play some tricks, that is, this Kibi Majima traveled thousands of miles to Datang and deceived us to Wajima." ”

"Oh... It was you who came all the way to the Tang Dynasty, so you can be regarded as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty? Li Zhan asked with great interest.

"Your Highness...!" Jibi Zhendao slowly knelt down and said: "The subordinates have always admired the Tang Dynasty, so they went to the Tang Dynasty twice, and the two trips benefited the subordinates a lot, and let the subordinates know that they are loyal to the monarch."

However, the subordinate really didn't deliberately deceive people, and there were some things I didn't want to, but the subordinate couldn't change it...! ”

Looking at the sincere Kibi True Island, Li Zhan nodded and smiled: "I understand what you said... Mr. Li is also heartbroken because of the loss of his daughter, right... Tell us about the purpose of your trip? ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."

Kibi Majima thanked Li Zhan in fluent Tang, which made the conversation between the two not need to be translated at all, so it could be a more accurate conversation.

Soon after, I heard Kibi Majima say: "Your Highness, in fact, the empress of my family is also helpless, although the empress of my family is called the empress, but the power is only in Kyoto."

And around the empress, there are three major forces, namely the Soga clan, the Monobe clan, and Nakamaro.

In order to protect the people of Kyoto, the empress of my family had to form an alliance with the Monobe clan... Using his own daughter as a condition for forming an alliance is actually the same as Datang's harmony.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also married his daughter to people outside the Guan, in fact, it was all to protect his people, this is great love...! ”

Looking at Jibei Zhendao, Li Zhan can be very sure that this person really understands the culture of the Tang Dynasty very well, and even his relatives can say it so clearly, thinking of this, Li Zhan also sighed in his heart, although Li Zhan didn't want to admit it, but what people said was the truth.

As the most powerful dynasty in history, the Tang Dynasty was more enthusiastic about harmony than any other dynasty.

Harmony is a means of marriage, which binds both parties together for common prosperity and disgrace, from primitive social tribes to feudal dynasties, since ancient times.

With the strong victory of the Tang Dynasty, both military and economic can kill the surrounding small countries in seconds, in fact, they are not afraid of other foreign states to provoke, but from time to time the border disturbance still makes the rulers helpless, and the most simple and crude means to maintain peace is to be friendly, and tie the relationship between the two countries to the princess of the harmony, which not only expresses the grace of the princess of the Celestial Empire, appeases these small border countries, stops the war but also maintains the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the usual political means of the Tang Dynasty, the entire Tang Dynasty, there are 20 times of harmony and 16 successes.

Of course, these princesses are real and fake, and what is real and false.

The general princess refers to the emperor's daughter or sister, and the relative, is to marry far away, although the emperor's family is more affectionate, but the princess represents not only the individual but also the royal family, if it can, the emperor will not choose the princess to marry far away.

So there is a suitable candidate from the clan to be crowned a princess, or the emperor will be a talented palace maid or the daughter of an official as a righteous daughter, crowned the princess, and marry far away.

In the Tang Dynasty, among the 20 negotiations with the relatives, there were a total of 6 princesses who participated in the peace and kiss, and two were unsuccessful, one was Princess Yong'an, the daughter of Tang Xianzong, who was the other party and the relatives of the Khan died, and the peace was declared a failure.

There is also the daughter of Tang Taizong, Princess Xinxing, who is said to have been canceled because there was a problem with the dowry of the other party at that time, and most of the livestock died, resulting in insufficient dowry. Therefore, among the 16 successful marriages of Datang, only four are true princesses.

It's just that Li Zhan doesn't like this kind of harmony, Li Zhan hates to put peace on women's bodies, Li Zhan likes the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has been in existence for 276 years, no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.

Of course, the above words are compiled, and the real original text is even more domineering: "The respect of our dynasty is beyond the ancient times, and it controls the western oceans of the northern captives and the western islands, and there is no harmony between the Han and the Tang Dynasty, no alliance with the Tang Dynasty, no small coins of the Song Dynasty, and no gift of brothers and enemies." ”

These words were said by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty when he returned to the dynasty during the Second Northern Expedition to Mongolia.

Li Zhan likes such domineering, and also hopes that Datang will have such domineering, and pro.. Li Zhan is refused, and is disgusted.

Just when Li Zhan was full of thoughts, Li Cheng on the side shouted loudly: "Kibi True Island... Don't say that your empress is so nice, your empress is for her own throne, I have said many times with Xin'an, Xin'an is married and pregnant.

Xin'an's husband in the Tang Dynasty is His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor, but... Your Empress is completely blind, is... I also admit that we Datang also have affinity, but we Datang don't use our married daughter and relative, let alone our pregnant daughter and relative.

After all, it is your empress who is shameless. ”

Li Cheng's scolding made Kibi Majima on the side lower his head slightly.

Li Zhan smiled at this time: "Messenger... Your empress is indeed too shrewd, and you can come here as an emissary, and I think you should have made an alliance, but you will not return my wife to me.

Until now, I still want to take my wife into my own hands, how... You still want to use it to blackmail me? ”

"It's not... By no means...! Kibi Majima hurriedly explained: "Please don't misunderstand, it's not that we don't want to send Her Royal Highness the Princess, it's actually that Her Royal Highness the Princess is now unable to move, and it is likely that she will give birth, if we bring her, it will be very unsafe." ”

"Excuses... It's all excuses...! Li Cheng said hatefully: "Tachibana Satomi wants to form an alliance with us, there is no door, we will definitely enter Kyoto and kill all the people in Kyoto...!" ”

"Your Highness... Please Your Highness must open the net...! Kibi Majima knelt down again in panic.

At this time, Li Zhan looked at Kibi Majima and said, "Messenger... I need food, a lot of food, I have silk here, crystal... Don't know if you can change it? ”

Li Zhan's words made Kibi Majima's eyes light up, and he hurriedly said, "Yes... And His Highness can have as much food as he wants, and we can still not collect money first, and His Highness can use food first.

Our granary is in Harima, less than three days away from Shimane, and if His Highness wishes, we will have the first batch of grain delivered in three days. ”

Looking at the surprised appearance of Kibi Majima, Li Cheng on the side shook his head angrily and left without looking back, because Li Cheng knew that Li Zhan at this time did not want to attack Kyoto, which made Li Cheng angry.

After leaving, I happened to run into Cheng Chumo, Xue Rengui and others... After seeing Li Cheng, Cheng Chumo and the others immediately surrounded him, wanting to ask what this Kyoto envoy was doing here, and what was Li Zhan's attitude.

Looking at the expectant crowd, Li Cheng said angrily: "You guys, it's no fun, Your Highness has agreed to form an alliance with Kyoto!" After speaking, Li Cheng left in a huff.

Seeing that Li Cheng was gone, Cheng Chumo and the others also showed regretful expressions.

Among them, the most disappointed is Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui seems to be able to do a good job, what is this called... Before it began, the alliance was formed.

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

Li Zhan and that Kibi Majima talked very well, Kibi Majima told Li Zhan that Tachibana Satomi had informed the Monobe clan that the two sides would no longer form an alliance, and would not let his daughter marry the Monobe clan, and that Tachibana Satomi invited Li Zhan to go to Kyoto, not only Li Zhan, but Li Zhan's army, the Tiger Army, could also drive straight into Kyoto.

Why is Satomi Tachibana so generous.

It's very simple, Tachibana Satomi knows that Li Zhan loves Li Jing'an, otherwise Li Zhan wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles from Datang to Wajima, as long as Li Zhan loves Li Jing'an, then Tachibana Satomi will not worry that Li Zhan will covet Kyoto.

So Tachibana Satomi welcomes Li Zhan to Kyoto, because Tachibana Satomi has her own support, that is, her daughter.

Three days later... A large amount of grain was shipped from Kyoto, which should have been a good thing, but after the grain arrived, bad news also came.

The Monobe clan made a move against Tachibana Satomi, and the Monobe clan united with Nakamaro, a total of 10,000 troops, converged just three days ago and are now heading to Nara to prepare to capture Nara.

Nara is an important prefecture in Kyoto, located in the middle of the Kii Peninsula on the island of Wajima, surrounded by Osaka Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture, Wakayama Prefecture, and Mie Prefecture.

It consists of the Kii Mountains, known as the "Roof of", and the plains that extend to the north, and accounts for about 1% of the country's land area, with a large proportion of mountainous areas, with a forest coverage rate of 77%, and about 90% of the population is concentrated in the Nara Basin and its surrounding areas in the northern part of the prefecture.

Nara has also become a barrier to Kyoto, as long as Nara is defeated, then Kyoto will be exposed, and Kyoto at this time is a mouthful of good fat that can be slaughtered by others.

Because of this, Tachibana Satomi has also led 5,000 troops to fight, but 5,000 against 10,000, the odds of winning this time are not great, and more importantly, I am worried about whether the Soga clan will suddenly attack Kyoto, it can be said that Kyoto is in the most critical moment this time.

So just after the food was delivered, Kibi Majima immediately went to see Li Zhan, knelt in front of Li Zhan, hoping that Li Zhan could help rescue Nara, Li Zhan was bound to win for Kyoto, so when Li Zhan learned that Kyoto was in trouble, he also agreed to rescue Nara for the first time.

Li Zhan sent Xue Rengui's Tiger Cavalry Regiment as the vanguard, and cooperated with the Hizen family, the Higo family, a thousand cavalry, plus Zhang Yaozu's 500 cavalry, a total of 2,500 cavalry to aid Nara.

Subsequently, Cheng Chumo's regiment and Qin Huaiyu's second regiment will also go to Nara to garrison.

As for Li Zhan, he will take the three regiments of Yu Chi Baolin, Yu Chi Baoqing and Su Ningbao to Kyoto ... Li Zhan's direct trip to Kyoto was something Kibi Majima did not expect, originally Kibi Majima wanted to stop Li Zhan, and he hoped that Li Zhan could also go to Nara.

It's just that Li Zhan didn't agree, the reason Li Zhan gave was that his wife was in Kyoto, so he was going to Kyoto, and as soon as he said this, Kibi Majima didn't know how to stop it.

In this way, Xue Rengui was full of spirits, and he could finally take his tiger cavalry regiment to fight, this time Xue Rengui also showed himself vigorously, so he galloped along the way, without doing much extra rest, so that the original three-day journey was shortened by one day, and two days later, he entered the territory of Nara.

On the other side, the Monobe clan actively contacted the Soga family, hoping that the Soga clan could also send troops, so that the three sides could attack Nara, to be honest, this proposal was agreed by Soga Izuka at the beginning.

However, fortunately, at this time, Su I stood up, and he loudly reprimanded those who wanted to attack Nara's Su I family together, and he told the people of Su I's family that the eldest son of the Tang Emperor would send troops, and the Monobe clan and Zhong Ma Lu would only ask for their own hardships, and the Su I clan had been wiped out by the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty by 5,000 people, can't they still remember the lesson?

This remark calmed down the hot-headed clansmen of the Soga clan, and then, Soga Irilu quickly revealed his attitude, that is, not only will he not fight Nara with the Monobe clan and Nakamaro, but will also provide protection to Kyoto for a period of time.

This attitude is really scared, if it weren't for Li Zhan's annihilation of the 5,000 men and horses of the Su family, the Su family would definitely participate in the joint attack on Nara this time.

This is human nature, don't be afraid if you don't fight... Only when you suffer a loss will you stand upright!
