Empress Huangji said indifferently: "There is a saying among the Han people in the Central Plains, which is called doing everything to obey the destiny of heaven, let's do what we should do, and be worthy of our hearts." ”

The eldest brother and prince nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right, you can't pin your hopes on Takahashi Kazuki alone. The plan you have made, the minister will continue. ”

Empress Huangji said: "Qianyu still has an accident, that's a good boy, it's a pity." ”

The eldest brother said with some sadness: "My cousin volunteered, she is a heroine of the Yamato nation, and history will definitely record her heroic deeds." ”

Empress Huangji said: "It can be seen that the northwest king of the Tang Dynasty is very difficult to deal with, and the failure of this matter will make him more vigilant, and the next thing must be treated more cautiously." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister knows." The eldest brother said the prince.

Minister's Residence.

In the large back garden, hundreds of cherry trees are in bloom at this time, and a large area of pink and white cherry blossoms is blooming, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Under the beautiful cherry blossom trees, dozens of samurai wearing cow helmets and silver-gray armor stood in a circular and scattered circle, vigilantly observing the movements around them, and in the middle of them was a tall pavilion where Soga Irika was talking to two generals in armor.

The tall and thin middle-aged general sitting opposite Su Ijinlu was called Jushi Deduo, who was the commander of the army of the Japanese slave country, and the young general who was sitting on his right was of medium height and missing an ear, and his name was Shi Suopo, who was the commander of the Japanese navy.

Jushi Dedo said: "Minister, according to your decision, your subordinates sent someone to inform you, most of the lords obeyed your decision and handed over the ministry, and the two lords did not obey your decision and have been exterminated by their subordinates.

So far, the number of troops handed over by the lords has reached 42,000, and their subordinates have incorporated them into the army, and only some members of the royal family have not yet been released. ”

Su I is extremely talented, otherwise, he would not be able to control the government just by inheriting the power left by his father.

With the fall of Goguryeo, Su Irilu strengthened his defense against the Tang Dynasty, and he sent a large number of spies to Sanhan, the coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty, and Chang'an very early, and knew quite well about the situation in the Tang Dynasty. He knew Li You's status in the Tang Dynasty, and he also knew that the Tang Dynasty's foreign wars were mainly led by Li You, and Li You was the biggest enemy of the Japanese slave state, so he sent his cousin Qianyu to assassinate Li You.

In order to cope with the imminent large-scale attack of the Tang Dynasty, Su Irulu reorganized the army, expanded the army from 70,000 in normal times to 180,000 today, and adopted a major measure - mobilizing the nobles to hand over the troops.

The Japanese slave state was a semi-slave and semi-feudal state, and the slave owners raised a large number of private armed forces in order to protect themselves.

These people are equivalent to the generals of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, but there are many more of them, and these people are highly skilled in martial arts, and after being integrated into the army, they can improve the combat effectiveness of the army in time. In the last battle, the defeat of the Tang army and the injury of Taro Takahashi were due to the large number of troops added to the army of the Japanese slave state.

In fact, Su I took a big risk by doing this, and the trilogy is people's private property, which will offend many people. For the sake of the country's interests, Su Irilu, as an archon minister, also fulfilled his duties.

Shi Suo Po said: "The navy has seized 615 warships of various kinds from the lords, and the warships in the hands of the relevant personnel of the royal family have not yet been put on board. ”

Su I nodded and said: "You have done a good job, I will personally go to the royal family and say that you should step up the training of the army, I have received the news that the Tang Dynasty army has been heading towards Sanhan, and the big war is about to begin." ”

Su I discussed with the two generals again, and said, "I'll go into the palace to see Your Majesty." ”

There are many members of the royal family, coupled with the in-laws of the seven aunts and eight aunts, it is a huge ethnic group, and the subordinates in the hands of these people add up to a large number, and I am afraid that all of them can reach 100,000 people. Su I have to do the work myself.

Fujiwara Palace.

Su I entered the deer and said: "Your Majesty, seeing that the Tang Dynasty army is about to invade, I have ordered the nobles of the whole country to hand over the troops, but most of the royal nobles have only handed over a few people with extremely poor quality to make up the numbers, you have to convince them." ”

Empress Gokuten, who had been very supportive of Soga in the past, said with some embarrassment: "Minister, first of all, your decision is correct, when the country is in danger, all the subjects of Yamato should come out to serve, and the imperial family should take the lead."

But there is a certain degree of difficulty in this matter.

It's not that I don't support you, but now there are many people who have opinions about you, and they say that your family has the most parts, and if you hand it over, they will hand it over. ”

The Empress was right, the Soga clan had the largest number of troops, reaching 3,000 men, and these people were well-equipped and well-trained, and their combat effectiveness even surpassed that of the Royal Guard.

Su Irulu was a little hesitant, because he knew that he had offended too many people, and he had to leave enough strength to protect himself.

Emperor Huangji said: "You see if this will work, I will take out the palace guards, and the subordinates in Fujiwarakyo will also be released, and you will also hand over the subordinates, and the two of us will take the lead, and the others will not dare to do it." ”

Su I was still a little hesitant to enter the deer.

The empress said: "I know what you are worried about, in fact, I am also worried, with you, my safety can be guaranteed, without your support, my throne would have been unstable." You see if this will work, you can hand over the troops first, and then follow the army to the border for a circle, and then secretly transfer it back. ”

Emperor Huangji is the aunt of Su I into the deer, and she is the empress who was canonized by Su I into the deer, and she obeyed his words in the past, and Su I still believe in her. Su Irulu felt that this was a solution, and he decided to leave 500 people behind and hand over the rest of the troops first.

He said, "Okay, you just hand over some of the parts, and the palace guards will forget it." Just do as you suggest, and I'll hand over the part. ”

Su I have done another big thing in the deer, and I feel that I am a little more sure of dealing with the Tang army's attack, and my heart is much more steady.

The cherry blossoms are also in full bloom in Fujiwara Palace, and Soga Irishi walks on the road surrounded by a sea of flowers, and the mood is very happy.

At this point, he didn't realize that a conspiracy was quietly approaching him.

After Su I entered the deer and left, the empress called the eldest brother and the prince, and she said: "Su I have already agreed to Jiao's trilogy, and the key now is not to let him know that the Tang Dynasty people will not attack my Yamato country." You quickly contact Kazuki Takahashi and start executing the plan as soon as possible. ”

The eldest brother said happily: "That's good, the minister will contact him immediately." ”

Empress Huangji said that the Tang Dynasty would not attack the Japanese slave country, did Li You really decide like this?
