Chapter 438: The Destruction of the Sun (13)
Bai He looked at Fujiwara Faithful, who looked aggrieved, and looked at the ministers below who didn't even dare to raise their heads, and only felt that the world was under their control, and after this battle, Guan Bai's force would be greatly reduced, and it was actually not bad to think about it.
If the Song people can be successfully expelled.
"Your Majesty! The messenger is back! A waiter came in and said, followed by the waiter who had gone to deliver the letter.
Shirakawa looked at the waiter and asked, "You arrived at Heiankyo?" What's going on inside the city? ”
From ancient times to the present, diplomats have had the mission of spying on the enemy.
"Weichen went out of Mt. Otowa, and when he didn't go to Mt. Hedao, he met the rangers of the Pingyin army, and followed them into Heianjing, there was no chaos in Heianjing, and all the prefectures and offices were guarded, and the shops on the streets were open, and the people went to the streets, but there were fewer thieves, and it was more prosperous." The waiter replied honestly.
Bai He sighed, "In the past, when the Song people were in charge of taxation, they knew that they were incorruptible, and they were really capable ministers, did you see the Pingyin Marquis?" ”
"Weichen saw the Marquis of Pingyin, handed over the letter of state, and reprimanded him for encroaching on our territory, the Marquis of Pingyin smiled and said nothing, and wrote a letter back, let me bring it back."
Bai He waved his hand and said, "Read!" I'd like to see if he still wants the face of the Song people! ”
The waiter nodded, opened the scroll and began to read: "I heard that the three kings are the poles, and the five emperors are Zen; China has a lord, and Yidi also has a king. The king lives in the vicissitudes of life, has been handed down for a long time, so far there are sixty cities and countries, and the territory is three thousand, which is a mercy of heaven rather than a human virtue, but the king has no heart of contentment, and the intention of thieves is reversed. Arrogant, wanton destruction of neighbors, indulgence of the people for thieves, make the army for thieves, rob ships in the waves, loot on the road and wilderness, the son said that Yi Di has a king, it is not as good as the death of the summer, what I see today, I am honest!
I also heard that Jun was a Japanese king in the past, and now he is the emperor, and he should have served the ancient Buddha with a green lantern, but he became a jackal, close to the evil and evil, cruel to the loyal and good, and forced the king to prostitute his daughter-in-law. What man and god are jealous of, heaven and earth do not tolerate.
The husband sends a killing machine to move the stars and change the night; The ground kills the machine, and the dragon and snake go to land; People kill the machine, the heaven and the earth repeatedly, and now I have tried my best to fight against the king, not human desire, but the sky is false to my hands and ears, such as the king can be reversed by the sky. Why don't you meet in front of Mt. Otowa and talk about play? I bring my own wine to you, will you come? ”
When the waiter read the middle, his voice was already trembling, Jiang De's document almost completely humiliated Bai He, and Bai He was angry and his hands were trembling, for decades, where would anyone dare to talk to him like this.
"Wow, wow!!" Bai He stood up abruptly and said, "I want to see if the army of the Song people is descended from heaven to earth!" Mandate of Heaven! Ha ha!! I want the Song people to know that in the Wa Kingdom, the Mandate of Heaven is here alone! ”
"Yes! Be!! The waiter was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, and went out to deliver the message.
A monk said, "Your Majesty, that Song thief is the enemy of the Buddha!" We are all willing to fight to the death! ”
Bai He nodded and said, "The words of the Master of the Phantom Sun are exactly what I think in my heart, the ginger thief is a wicked person from the sky, and the Buddha said that there are six places in the heavens, the first, the four kings and the heavens; second, thirty-three days; third, the time and the day; Fourth, contentment with heaven; Fifth, Lehuatian; Sixth, he is free in the sky, and the rest of the heavens are the places of gods and Buddhas, but the sixth day is the lord of the desire realm, and he takes pleasure in destroying the joy and happiness of others. ”
Jiang De, who was enjoying the massage of Tamamo's small hands in Heiankyo, couldn't help but sneeze.
"Your Majesty, please give the order to go to war!"
"Yes! Let's fight!! ”
The magnates of the Wa Kingdom, who were deeply influenced by Buddhism, heard that Bai He characterized Jiang De as an enemy of the Buddha and the demon king of the Sixth Heaven, and they all expressed their hearts to destroy such a demon with their own hands, and when the phantom sun said that even if they died in this war, they would enter the Buddha country and become a Buddha, everyone had no fear.
"Good! Tell the order to go down, rest for a day tomorrow, and fight a decisive battle the day after tomorrow, and tell the ginger thief that in the morning of the day after tomorrow, he will hunt at the foot of Mt. Otowa and in the Yamashina Plains! ”
- Heiankyo
Jiang De looked at the handwritten letter sent by Baihe, and smiled at Xu Guanzhong, who had already arrived, "Mr. Xu, look at it, the Japanese are full of confidence." ”
Xu Guanzhong coughed, then took the Baihe handwriting, looked at it, and said, "Guan Baifu has been captured by our army's artillery, and the personnel inside have laid down their weapons under the leadership of Fujiwara Tadamichi, and only one or two regiments of troops can be defended in the city, and our army can dispatch four regiments of the Guards Division, two regiments of the Cavalry Division, and more than 10,000 people in six regiments.
Compared with the two armies, the advantage of our army lies in the elite of sergeants and equipment, and the Japanese army lies in the fact that the number of people far exceeds our army. ”
Jiang De said indifferently, "The Japanese army is not united, and the second is not the army, I see it as a chicken, a dog!" ”
Xu Guanzhong nodded and smiled, "This is natural, it's just a soldier, and it's tricky, since the Japanese lord has a decisive battle on the day of prognosis, and our army has the advantage of cavalry and artillery, the lord can make the tired soldiers!" ”
As soon as Jiang De heard this, he understood Xu Guanzhong's thoughts, and waved his hand and said, "You go and arrange it, in addition, how many soldiers can be gathered in this day?" ”
Xu Guanzhong replied: "Tomorrow, Mu Hongtuan will arrive in Heianjing!" ”
"Okay, one more person, one more strength..."Jiang De said that he didn't care about the number of the Japanese army, but the number of nearly 100,000 Japanese soldiers has always been the thing he is most worried about.
Xu Guanzhong said, "The key to this battle is not here, but not to fall through." ”
Jiang De sighed: "I can only trust Cheng Min and them." ”
—May 26
Bai He's face was black and dazzling, and his eye circles were even darker than his!
From the beginning of the war to the present, Baihe has not slept peacefully, there will always be spies of the Song people to touch the side of the barracks, and then throw a few bombs into the barracks, the loud sound and even the flames are the reasons for the army to bomb the camp, only one day, hundreds of people fled from the barracks or were killed because of panic.
The only thing Bai He is glad for is that the time to fight with Jiang De is not too far away, otherwise he doesn't know what will happen.
The Yamashina Basin, which is a basin surrounded by Mt. Otowa, Mt. Omonji and Mt. Inari, is eight miles wide and ten miles long, and the ground is flat, making it a naturally good battlefield.
Mt. Otowa and Mt. Omonji are located in the north and east of the Yamashina Basin, Mt. Lotus is located in the west, and further west is the capital of Heian Castle, Mt. Lotus is said to be a mountain, but it is only less than 100 meters high, more like a highland, and Jiang De's main camp is located here.
To the south of the Yamashina Basin is a narrow entrance, less than a kilometer wide at its narrowest point, split in two by a small hill three hundred meters wide.
It can be said that fighting here, either win or die, there is almost no possibility of escape.
Baihe is betting that Jiang De's military strength is small, and he can rely on his military superiority to win a battle here, and Jiang De also has a similar mind.
At Mt. Omonji and Mt. Otoba, the Shirakawa Army and the Hara Fujiwara Faithful Army were stationed on either side, and when the first rays of the sun shone down, groups of Japanese troops appeared on the eastern side of the basin.
These Japanese soldiers were all dressed in uniforms, chanting Buddha names in their mouths, and holding spears or bows and arrows, which were the elite of the White River Army.
A big flat banner was erected in the middle, and under the banner was Ping Zhengsheng, the actual commander of the White River Army in this battle.
"In this battle, our army is 100,000, and the thief army is only 10,000, our army will win, and you must fight forward!" Ping Zhengsheng said loudly to the people around him.
"Hey!!"
The sun gradually rose, and Ping Zhengsheng also saw that there was a military formation at the foot of the lotus rice mountain opposite, and Ping Zhengsheng was not in a hurry to attack, but tried to let more soldiers enter the basin battlefield, he believed that as long as the army all entered the battlefield, this battle would not be lost.
"It is worthy of being the pillar of the Ping family, the advantage is already so, and it is still so calm." Jiang De put down the binoculars and said, "Yuan Weiyi, you are an old acquaintance of the Ping family, you should know them very well, how do you use soldiers in the Ping Zheng Festival?" ”
Yuan Weiyi replied, "I'm afraid that this battle will be stable and prosperous, when the troops are slowly marching in, the peasants and soldiers are the first, draining my morale, shooting with bows and arrows, and attacking the cavalry sideways, so as to determine the future!" ”
"Bows and arrows... Then I'm afraid he is going to miscalculate, what is the position of Lei Jiong's group? Jiang De asked.
"It's all in place!"
"Good!" Jiang De looked at the sun, because the sun was rising from the east, the Pingyin army at this time was facing the sun, which couldn't help but be a little dazzling.
"This is not good," Jiang De said, "Someone, go and send a message to the Japanese army, I have prepared water and wine, and I want to talk with Emperor Shirakawa in front of the battle." ”
"Yes!"
Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "Does the lord want to use a delaying tactic?" ”
Jiang De nodded and said, "The discipline of our army is strict, the training is hard, and the ordinary army can be compared, it is already summer, the weather is hot, as long as the time is delayed slightly, the sergeant will feel miserable, in comparison, the morale of the enemy army will dissipate faster." ”
After that, Jiang De smiled and said, "Shirakawa should be in Otowa Mountain at this time, and it will take an hour to come and go." ”
Jiang De's guess was right, after Ping Zhengsheng heard Jiang De's request, he saw that the opposite army really set up a banquet, and immediately made a difficulty, in his judgment, it was best to attack when morale was high, but he was not the real boss, the coach was watching the battle in Mt. Otowa Shirakawa, and when it came to Shirakawa, he didn't dare to act arbitrarily, so he could only report, and naturally, the attack stopped.
The Pingyin army has also completed the formation, due to the shield and banner obscure, Ping Zhengsheng can't see the Pingyin army's formation at all, only knows that this is a defensive formation.
If you look down from the sky, you will find that the layout of the Pingyin army is extremely strange, the two wings are infantry, but the Chinese army is cavalry, but there is a thin column of infantry in front of the cavalry.
Bai He was watching the battle on a peak of Dawen Mountain at this time, and when he learned that Jiang De had asked him to talk before the battle, he shook his head and said, "What is there to say?" Don't talk about it, just let Ping Zhengsheng attack the past. ”
Next to him, the minister persuaded him, "Your Majesty, this battle will definitely be recorded in history, if you don't go, I am afraid that I will be laughed at by future generations." ”
Bai He thought about it, so he sat in a sedan chair and went down the mountain to the front of the formation, and when he arrived, the time had changed from five or six o'clock in the morning to more than nine o'clock.
Shirakawa didn't notice that many of the people in the Heimasato army were already sitting on the ground because of the heat and exhaustion, because everyone knew that they couldn't fight all at once, and even the samurai didn't stop these ashigaru slack.
On the other side, the Pingyin army had already set up a simple shaded place with spears and cloths, and the sergeants took turns to rest, and due to strict military discipline, the rest was orderly.
In front of the two armies, Jiang De brought Niu Gao and Toyotomi Hideyoshi to the banquet, and next to Shirakawa stood two samurai from the north.
"Jiang Xinzhi, the Marquis of Song Pingyin, has seen the King of the White River." Jiang De smiled and said, "Today's events will definitely be recorded in the history of the two countries, so I specially invite Your Majesty to come here to drink and add to the conversation of future generations." ”
Saying that, Jiang De clapped his hands, and a team of dancers walked out of Jiang De's army, led by Yuzao, these dancers were all dressed in the service of the Wa Kingdom, and walked forward in broken steps, Jiang De said, "It's not okay to have wine without beauty, why don't you and I drink and watch the dance first, talk about the gains and losses of the past and the present, and pass on the good stories of future generations." ”
Bai He's eyes were straight, drinking and watching the dance before the battle, talking about the gains and losses of the past and the present? Elegant! Daya!! In particular, Yuzao's appearance made him secretly complain in his heart why the people below didn't find such a beauty, otherwise where would she fall into the hands of the Song thief, but when he thought that after this battle, these dancing girls would become his trophies, Bai He was happy again.
As Tamamo and the others began to dance, Shirakawa also sat down with Jiang De to talk about the past and the present, and drank wine.
Ping Zhengsheng looked at the scene in front of him, worried that it was not a plan of the Song people, so he said to a minister who came with Baihe, "My lord, I think the Song thief's move must be a trick, let's let Your Majesty come back." ”
The princess was intoxicated by such an elegant scene in front of him, and was brewing an article in his heart, when he heard Ping Zhengsheng's words, he immediately said unhappily, "Ping Gong, this is an elegant thing, how can you stop it?" You... Just don't read! ”
Ping Zhengsheng was nothing, Ping Zhongsheng almost wanted to pull out his knife and cut him, but he was pulled by Ping Zhengsheng, nodded, and retreated.
"Let the armies not slack off, you see, they are all lying together, if there is an enemy attack, how can they be the enemy?"
"Yes!"
The sun rises higher and higher, and in a blink of an eye it has reached almost twelve o'clock in the later generations, more than two hours, Jiang De is talking endlessly, talking about the past and the present, and using the ability of the later generations to use the mountain to the fullest, Bai He listened to Jiang De from the political, cultural, military, economic, educational, medical aspects of the Song and the shortcomings of the Wa Kingdom, eager to find a small book to write down on the spot, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi and several other Japanese people are shocked by Jiang De, almost every time Bai He raises a problem, Jiang De can immediately say the solution, It turned out that the two northern samurai had the idea that it might be really good for the Wa Kingdom to let Jiang De rule the Wa Kingdom.
Jiang De took a sip of wine and felt hungry, so he peeked at the sky, the sun had risen to the highest point, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty King Baihe, today's things will surely last for a hundred generations, and the literature has been completed, why not hunt for Bo Yile?" ”
Ping Zhengsheng was sitting in the Chinese military account, and suddenly felt a little dazzling, and when he looked up, he saw the fireball sun hanging high in the air, and immediately shouted, "It's not good!" We've been tricked! ”
The minister next to him was puzzled: "Aren't we good?" What's the plan? ”
"Ahh The time is no longer favorable for our army, let Your Majesty come back!! Saying that, Ping Zhengsheng said to Ping Zhongsheng, "Quick!" Go and let Your Majesty return to the battle!! ”
Ping Zhongsheng hurriedly climbed on the horse to deliver the message, and before he could get out of the battle, he saw Bai He coming back sitting on a sedan chair.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, are you back? ”
Bai He waved his hand and said, "Song thief is also talented, you can't stay, kill!" ”
Pingzheng Sheng said happily: "Obey the order!" Herald, armor! Get ready to go into battle!! ”
