"Your Majesty, Sugawara Michizane has admitted to bullying the monarch, and I ask Your Majesty to issue a heavy punishment." Fujiwara Tokihei seized the opportunity and pressed forward step by step.

"This..." Emperor Daigo hesitated for a moment, "Sugawara Aiqing, since it is your dereliction of duty, I will remove you from half a year's salary." ”

"Thank you, Lord Ron!" Although half a year is nothing to Sugawara Michizane, it is a bad sign.

"Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, now the Tang people, under the leadership of the new emperor, have become very powerful, and there is an endless stream of merchants and travelers, and they are constantly recovering the land from abroad.

Moreover, this Tang emperor is also a talented person, and his literary attainments are quite high.

Therefore, the minister thought that he could consider sending a new mission to the Tang Dynasty, with Sugawara Michizane as the main envoy, to complete the unfinished task of that year. Fujiwara Tokihei strongly recommended.

"Your Majesty, by no means. Now that Han Kou is in trouble, the imperial court should try its best to pacify Han Kou's trouble, instead of spending a lot of money to go to Tang. Sugawara Michizane stopped.

Emperor Daigo hesitated a little, "Sugawara Aiqing is old, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to sail to Tang." ”

"Your Majesty, now that the country doesn't know much about Datang, I just sent an embassy to find out. If the Tang people supported Han Kou behind their backs, they could protest to the Tang people and ask for forgiveness from the Tang people, and the Han Kou problem would naturally be solved. "Fujiwara Tokihei is bent on eliminating the threat of Sugawara Michizane.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it can't, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

Originally, this meeting was to discuss how to solve the Han Kou issue, but because Fujiwara Tokihei made it a matter of whether to send a new Tang envoy to Tang, he directly deviated from the original track.

However, in the end, it was decided to send troops to recapture Iwami Province, but the matter was handed over to Sugawara Michizane.

Obviously, Emperor Daigo still has a lot of trust in Sugawara Michizane.

However, this made Fujiwara Shihei very dissatisfied.

"The head of the family, it's actually really simple to deal with Sugawara Michi!"

When he saw that his head Fujiwara Tokihei was a little depressed because of Sugawara Michizane, his staff had an idea.

"How?" Fujiwara asked.

"The head of the family, if it was before, it would not be easy to deal with Sugawara Dao. But the year before last, Sugawara Michizane's daughter married Prince Saishi, and the head of the family could do something about it, and even if the emperor trusted him, he would not allow someone who threatened his throne to take power. The staff whispered.

Fujiwara Tokihei suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, but he didn't expect this.

Prince Qi is the prince of Emperor Uta and the younger brother of Emperor Daigo, as long as Fujiwara Tokihei uses a little discord, it will definitely make Emperor Daigo no longer trust Sugawara Michizane.

At that time, Emperor Daigo still had to guard against Sugawara Michizane, lest the other party abolish his throne and let Prince Qi ascend the throne instead.

And the Fujiwara clan, although they may hold the power of the court, will not threaten the throne of Emperor Daigo, which is more important, the latter will definitely know.

"That's a good idea, I've forgotten about it, I'll have to find a chance to talk about it." Fujiwara Tokihei smiled triumphantly.

"The head of the family, this matter cannot be rushed for the time being. If the emperor still trusts Sugawara Michizane very much today, it is very likely that the head of the family will poke this matter out at this time.

Isn't Sugawara really going to pacify Han Kou?

As long as the head of the family finds a way to make Sugawara Michizane fail and return, and then bring up this matter again, he will be able to achieve miraculous results. ”

"Great idea, great idea!" Fujiwara Tokihei nodded, "Then let's make Sugawara Michizane proud for a while." ”

Just when Fujiwara Tokihei was plotting how to get rid of Sugawara Michizane, Sugawara Michizane over there ordered the armies of various countries in the west to prepare for a crusade against the pirates occupying Iwami.

Perhaps in order to fight Fujiwara Tokihei and show his ability, Sugawara Michizane attached great importance to this expedition against pirates, and although he did not personally lead the army to conquer, he also sent his most trusted person to lead an army of 20,000.

At this time, the total population of the Wa Kingdom was more than 5 million, which was much more than that of Silla, and the population of Silla at this time was only more than 1 million, not even 2 million.

There are not many standing troops in the entire Wa Kingdom, and the 20,000 troops were pieced together by Sugawara Michizane after transferring soldiers from more than a dozen countries around Iwami.

After all, the Wa Kingdom is not like a nomadic people, all the people are soldiers, and at this time, the Wa Kingdom does not have any bushido spirit.

The scale of a few thousand people is considered a big war, and the largest war in the last few hundred years was the battle with Baekje with the Tang army more than two hundred years ago, and the result was defeated by the Tang army.

That is, after the Baijiangkou Water Battle, the Wa State sent Tang envoys to study the Tang Dynasty.

This time, 20,000 troops were dispatched because they learned that there were 5,000 or 6,000 pirates, so they recruited 20,000 people to fight to ensure that they could defeat the pirates in one fell swoop and recover Iwami Province.

。。。。。。

Just when the Japanese country was deploying troops on a large scale, the pirates entrenched in the territory of Iwami Province were also a little anxious.

Because Silla and the Wa Kingdom are only separated by the sea, there are many Silla people who can speak the language of the Wa people. Although most of the upper-class people in the Japanese state can speak Chinese, among the ordinary people, Chinese is not very popular, and there are not many people who can do it.

Therefore, the pirates soon learned that the Wakuni would lead an army of 100,000 (claimed) to attack them and recover Iwami Province.

After learning the news, Xue Huzi and other pirate leaders ran to Tsushima and looked for the help of the Tang Dynasty sailors here.

The total number of pirates is not more than 10,000, and not all of them are together, and even if they are together, it is not possible for them to fight the Japanese army on land.

At this time, they can only ask the master behind them for help.

Moreover, Iwami was requested to be occupied by the Tang Dynasty, and they, as pirates, were more of a raider than an occupation.

Although they coveted the country's silver, they also found a small mine to dig up, and the big mines were under the control of the Tang people.

However, this group of pirate leaders has also gained a lot this year, and Xue Huzi is now worth tens of thousands.

He thought that this is, when he doesn't do it one day, he will go to Datang and buy a house to live a luxurious life, wouldn't it be beautiful?

Who will go back to the messy Silla, how good it is to go to Datang!

When Xue Huzi arrived at Tsushima, it happened that Wang Yuanxing was in Tsushima, otherwise Xue Huzi and the others would have to run to Tamluo.

"Commander Wang, you have to help, the Japanese said that they were going to send 100,000 people to attack Iwami and Izumo, and we can't stop it."

As soon as he saw Wang Yuanxing there, Xue Huzi was very excited and hurriedly began to cry.

It is said that crying children have milk to eat, and Xue Huzi began to cry miserably at this time, regardless of whether he was ashamed or not.

"100,000? Xue Huzi, are you crazy? In terms of the national strength of the Japanese people, can an army of 100,000 be drawn in a short time? If you really have that ability, it's no wonder that you can rob so many towns. Wang Yuanxing unceremoniously debunked.

"Commander Wang, it's not a small nonsense, that's what the Japanese said. Even if it's 100,000 people, only a few tens of thousands of people are not something we can deal with.

Those of us who can bully those small Japanese countries are okay, but it is the Japanese army that comes. ”
