Kumamoto Castle, the mansion of the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

After arriving at Kumamoto Castle, Nakatomi Kamazu was imprisoned at the Flying Tiger Army's garrison, and that morning he was taken to the Grand Marshal's Mansion of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, where he was received by Li You, along with acquaintances such as Pei Dilan, Chiba, Wang Xuance, Monobe Kazuki, and Monobe Kumiko.

For Li You's portrait, Zhongchen Kamazu has seen it many times, and he recognized Li You at a glance. Faced with the number one enemy of the Yamato Kingdom, Nakatomi Kamada was furious.

When Wang Xuance finished introducing their identities, the middle minister Kamazu said: "Your Highness, my Yamato Kingdom has never had contradictions and entanglements with your Tang Dynasty, why do you have to target my Yamato Kingdom?" You've tried your best to exhaust all kinds of conspiracies, and your methods are a little too despicable. ”

"Shut up." When Wang Xuance saw that he actually attacked the prince, he immediately scolded angrily.

Nakazu Kazuzu is conceited and smart, but this time, because of his reasons, he directly buried the most elite main force of the Japanese slave country, and it can even be said that it will bury the Yamato country because of this. For such a result, he couldn't bear it, and he was a little annoyed and angry. He was full of grief and indignation, and when he saw Pei Dilan, Qian Yu, Wang Xuance, Monobe Kazuki and Monobe Kumiko and others, he felt that he had been deceived by these people, and he couldn't help but be angry.

He pointed at everyone and said, "And you people, all of whom are involved in the conspiracy to subvert my Yamato country, are all despicable and shameless. ”

When Li You first saw Zhongchen Kazuzu, he saw that he was delicate and elegant, and he could even be called handsome, plus he was originally in his heart and had a position for his position in history, so he had a good impression of him. But seeing his current performance, Li You couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

Therefore, Li You frowned slightly and did not make a sound.

In the face of the accusation of the middle minister, the two female generals quit first.

Monobe Kumiko narrowed her eyes, pointed at Nakatomi Kamakazu and said, "You still have the face to say such things, you are the one who is truly despicable and shameless."

At the beginning, in order to get rid of Su I, you wanted to use my father's power and my father's feelings for Yamato, and deceive him with rhetoric. But when you have achieved your goal, you will do everything possible to treat my father as you did with Su I.

You and the empress and others don't talk about credibility, cross the river and tear down the bridge, are despicable and shameless, and have the face to accuse others here? ”

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, she simply stood up and said loudly: "You pretended to sign a contract with the Tang Dynasty, but you wanted to deceive His Royal Highness the Northwest King to Fujiwara Jing and wanted to murder him, isn't this kind of means despicable enough?" ”

Qian Yu was not as excited as Monobe Kumiko, she said lightly: "Lord Zhongchen, I am just a weak woman, but out of love for the country and the royal family, I once risked my life to go to distant Chang'an and assassinate His Royal Highness the Northwest King. His Highness, however, was magnanimous and did not embarrass me.

On the other hand, you, the empress and others completely disregard family affection, do not care about my feelings, and manipulate my fate at will, what you do is really disgusting. ”

Wang Xuance said solemnly: "According to the information I have, you and Su I Zhulu used to be classmates and friends, although you were born with a huge disparity in status, but you have deep feelings for each other, but because of your trust in you, Su I Zhulu died tragically under the conspiracy of you and the eldest brother prince and others, and you yourself personally participated in the assassination of your former friends. Is such an act glorious?

You may say that you are loyal to the royal family, but there is not a little selfishness in this to satisfy your own desires? ”

Li Daozong said slowly: "You accuse the Tang Dynasty of targeting your Japanese slave country for no reason, let me ask you, the royal family and clan of your Japanese slave country were originally just one of the hundreds of clans on the Dongying Islands, and they conquered other clans with cruel and bloody means, and finally unified the Dongying Islands.

Excuse me, what do the other clans think?

The countries themselves are for the sake of profit, and it is very common for them to fight each other. Your Japanese slave country has sent troops to the Korean Peninsula many times, did they invite you to go? ”

The counterattack of the crowd made Zhongchen speechless, his face was pale, and he was no longer silent.

Pei Dilan knew that Li You had the intention of subduing Zhongchen's sickle, and he said with a pleasant face: "Lord Zhongchen, since the two sides have exhausted each other's means for their own interests, there is no need to accuse each other. Now that the winner has been decided, Your Excellency should have the dignity that a loser deserves. ”

Zhongchen Kamazu was a well-cultivated person in the end, he was silent for a moment, and then saluted Li You and said, "Your Highness, I admire your wisdom so much, I admit that I have failed. As a loser, I have no right to ask for anything, but only to beg His Highness to grant my small wish. ”

Li You is satisfied with the current performance of Nakazu Kamazu, which is in line with the image of the famous historical figure in his mind.

He said politely, "Lord Zhongchen, please speak." ”

Nakazu Kamazu said: "Because of my incompetence, I have fallen into a siege of 30,000 elite soldiers of Yamato Country, and I am ashamed of Yamato Country, Her Majesty the Empress, and those soldiers, I really don't have the face to see them again."

Allow me to take my own stride and retain a little bit of decency at the last of my time. ”

After speaking, he knelt down again and saluted Li You.

Li You said: "Lord Zhongchen doesn't have to be like this. Get up. ”

The white tiger stepped forward and helped the middle minister up with his sickle feet.

Li You said: "You can't die now, or you are not qualified to die. 30,000 of your country's elite soldiers have been caught in a desperate situation because of your mistakes, and it is your duty to rescue them. ”

Nakatomi Kamazu asked eagerly, "How are they?" ”

Li You said: "They were surrounded by 100,000 troops of our army, and they suffered heavy losses when they forcibly broke through, and now only about half of them are left. The remaining 15,000 people also have parents, wives and children, do you want to rescue them? ”

The minister Kamazu asked, "What will Your Highness do with them?" ”

"If you can convince them to lay down their arms, I can save their lives," Li said. ”

Nakatomi Kamadashi was well aware of the situation of the besieged Japanese army, they had no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, and they couldn't hold out for long. He is the only one who can save them.

He said decisively: "Your Highness, I am willing to persuade them to surrender to the Tang Army. ”

Li You said with satisfaction: "Okay, this is the responsibility and the right choice that Lord Zhongchen should fulfill. ”

Li You had already guessed that Zhongchen Kamazu would choose to commit suicide because of shame, and he gave Zhongchen Kamazu a responsibility, which gave him a reason to live.
