Chapter 51: Samurai Lu Shen
Li Jian held the hilt of the sword, looked at everyone, and said solemnly: "Everyone, two-thirds of the people in our Baozhou are from the mainland, the homeland is difficult to leave, and it is normal for people to let go, if you really can't let go, you can follow Zhou Bin everything, and I, Li Jian, will never stop it."
"Master Hou, we have no intention of doing this" Hearing this, Wenwu said anxiously.
Li Jian pulled out his sword violently, and bursts of cold light reflected it.
"I, Li Jian, didn't want to rebel, but Your Majesty listened to the villain's words and vowed to take away my military power"
"I don't hide it from my brothers, uncle, I'm unwilling! I am unwilling not to lose the right, but to lose the Li family's hundred years of hard work, these hundred years, the ancestors of the past generations have gone through how many tempering, only to have the prosperity of Baozhou today, and this hard work is not only my Danghai Hou Mansion, but also your ancestors fought together, just like this, it was taken away by some traitors who can only play tricks, I am unwilling."
Looking at Li Jian, who seemed to have been wronged and was like a tiger in a cage, several generals immediately knelt down sadly, hugged their fists and said: "I will follow Hou Ye to the death"
"Follow to the death," Cui Ying and Feng Jing also shouted on their knees with the rest of the people.
Li Jian pointed at the sky and said: "I, Li Jian, swear here today that if I can protect the foundation of my ancestors, I am willing to overcome obstacles with Zhuqing, expand the territory again, and enjoy the world together."
"Master Hou, long live" Cui Ying shouted excitedly.
"Master Hou, long live" The deafening voice sounded, and it was already openly reversed.
In the afternoon of the same day, a large number of naval warships sailed to Penghu from the coastal area, and in the study of the Marquis of Danghai, after Li Jian drank a few bowls of tea, the whole person breathed a deep sigh of relief, and it was obvious that the situation just now also made him panic.
"If it weren't for Hou Ye today, even if he appeared, there would have almost been a problem," Cui Ying on the side sighed.
"Xiang Chi is difficult to leave his homeland, trying to separate the armies of our Baozhou, but he really didn't expect that since Hou Ye took the throne, after he has improved a large number of meritorious deeds, he has a homeland that is difficult to leave, and we have a hundred years of hard work" Feng Jing said solemnly.
When Li Jian completely calmed down, he said solemnly: "Although the words are so, the key is still in the battle of Penghu, if you win, there is no need to say much, but if you lose, a hundred years of hard work will not be able to stop the turmoil in the army's heart, so I must personally sit in this battle."
"Hou Ye is wise, this battle is very important, only Hou Ye personally controls it, can he have a chance to win" Cui Ying agreed.
Li Jian nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Xiao Man, the commander of the Shadow Guard, suddenly walk in with a man with a samurai head, a kimono with wide sleeves, a katana stuck in his waist, and clogs on his feet.
After Li Jian glanced at it, he said unexpectedly: "Lu Shen"
"Lu Xiang, deputy commander of the original shadow guard, meet the Hou Ye" The warrior who followed Xiao Man in immediately knelt on the ground excitedly and shouted.
"Haha, hurry up, hurry up" Li Jian hurriedly stepped forward, helped the person up, and said: "Why did you kid come back, didn't I already pass the book and cancel the cherry blossom plan?" ”
Now that he is exposed, he naturally will not carry out the Sakura plan and harm his own people, because there is no point in that.
And Lu Shen was Li Jian's personal guard back then, and he was also one of the deputy commanders of the shadow guard, and he was the main leader of the Sakura Country three years ago.
"Master Hou, it happened suddenly, so it was Brother Zhu Xiu who asked me to come back in person and tell you" Lu Shen was a little more serious.
"What's wrong," Li Jian said with concern.
"Master Hou, just when you canceled the cherry blossom plan, because of a chance, Brother Zhu Xiu led people to invade Kyoto in the cherry blossom country and took control of the emperor of the cherry blossom country," Lu Shen said in a loud voice.
"What"
"Really"
Feng Jing and Cui Ying were pleasantly surprised at the same time.
"It's true, now the emperor of the Sakura Country is already in the hands of Brother Zhu Xiu," Lu Shen repeated.
"Okay, good, Ben Hou has already said, Zhu Xiu, handsome talent, Ben Hou wants a big Jiashang, go! Reward Zhu Xiu's family with one hundred taels of gold, no! Qianliang" Li Jian said excitedly.
"Master Hou, slow down," Lu Shen hurriedly stopped.
"What's wrong?" asked Li Jian.
"Master Hou, although Brother Zhu was blessed by Lord Hou and took Kyoto, but this time he also broke into a hornet's nest, and the daimyo in all parts of the Sakura Country are ready to eliminate Brother Zhu, especially a Sakura Daimyo named Gennai Dynasty in the Sakura Country has gathered a large number of samurai and is ready to attack Kyoto, so Zhu Xiu asked me to come over immediately and ask Lord Hou to mobilize a large army to go over, and Brother Zhu can let the emperor of the Sakura Country personally order to meet Lord Hou"
"Yuan Naichao, what kind of messy name is this" A chill appeared on Li Jian's face, and then he frowned, and said, "Couldn't Zhu Xiu defeat him?" ”
"Lord Houhou, the power of the Yuan Naichao is very terrifying, some time ago, he just defeated the Ping family, and his strength skyrocketed, with Brother Zhu Xiu's army of only eight thousand people, it is impossible to defeat, and even if he is defeated, the daimyo from all over the Sakura Country will also reap the benefits of the fisherman" Lu Shen replied.
"This bastard is the source of the dynasty, when a certain passes, you have to smash him" Li Jian said angrily.
"Lu Shen, I seem to remember that Zhu Xiu said in the report that the throne of the Sakura Country has lasted for more than a thousand years, and it is extremely respected in the hearts of the people" Cui Yingdao.
"Really, that's why Brother Zhu asked me to come back immediately, because once the emperor is seized by others, it will be more than ten times more difficult for my Baozhou to seize the cherry blossoms" Lu Shen nodded.
"Okay, then I'm asking you, if I divide five thousand soldiers from Baozhou, can I defeat Yuan Naichao" Cui Ying asked again.
"This," Lu Shen frowned.
"What's the matter, could it be that the local power of a mere cherry blossom is already so strong," Li Jian said solemnly.
"Lord Hou, the cherry blossoms have changed very quickly, since the emperor of the cherry blossom country was set up step by step, the daimyo everywhere strongly admired the samurai system, under this system, the samurai and soldiers of the cherry blossom country became very fierce, just like jackals, tigers and leopards, they started a war, risking their lives, killing people when they saw them, regardless of the old and the young, women and children, their kind of momentum, with all due respect to their subordinates, to some extent, even surpassed the army of my treasure continent" Lu Shen said seriously.
"What" Feng Jing was taken aback, originally in their thoughts, cherry blossoms should be in the bag!
"But Master Hou, what my subordinates said is the same situation, if Baozhou can dispatch a large army, with our smelting technology that has surpassed the Sakura Country for at least ten years, we will definitely be able to sweep everything" Lu Shen hurriedly said.
"Now that the big war is imminent, how can a large army be dispatched?" said Xiao Man.
"Master Hou, this is really what Brother Zhu asked me to come back to say, he suggested that Baozhou take a defensive position against Da Chu, with the advantage of the water army, and transfer the army to take the cherry blossoms, Brother Zhu said, although the cherry blossom country cannot be compared with the Great Chu, but compared to Baozhou, whether it is the land area, or the people, it is several times more, and the cherry blossom country is located in the ocean, not as close to the mainland as Baozhou, go there, Da Chu can't crusade at all, in addition, it is also the most critical, the system of the cherry blossom country is strict, and the upper class has this absolute power of life and death to the lower level, There is no need for any reason, in the history of the Sakura Country, there are very few rebellions of the people, as long as the Hou Ye can personally command the army, control the emperor of the Sakura Country, and seize the entire territory of the Sakura, only in an instant" Lu Shen said in a loud voice.
Li Jian was shocked, his eyes moved a little, and said, "The cherry blossoms are really so good."
"Nope! Hou Ye, the cherry blossoms are greatly inferior to Baozhou in terms of economy, geography, and culture, but there is indeed a real land of hidden dragons for Hou Ye, once Hou Ye controls the cherry blossoms, he only needs to cultivate with peace of mind for a few years, and he can seize Goguryeo across the sea, if he can capture Goguryeo, Hou Ye will have the capital to really fight against Dachu."
"This" Li Jian hesitated a little.
"Master Hou, my subordinates feel that what Commander Lu said is very reasonable, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if the Sakura Emperor is being recaptured, then not only Zhu Xiu's three-year work will be ruined, we are thinking of attacking Sakura, and the difficulty will be ten times greater" Cui Ying hugged his fist.
"But the battle with Da Chu is about to break out, and there are not enough warships, how can Ben Hou lead the army to leave!" Li Jian was a little anxious.
"Hou Ye, there is a give-and-take, now you have to take a gamble, two months, with a deadline of two months, build a large number of warships, and then whether you win or lose, you must cross the sea to go to the cherry blossoms, Commander Zhu is right, there is the future, and when you get there, Hou Ye can really recuperate and reserve strength" Cui Ying said resolutely.
Li Jian's eyes froze, and after pacing back and forth for a long time, he looked at Lu Shen and said: "You rest for one night, go back immediately tomorrow, tell Zhu Xiu, let him resist, and in two months, Benhou will personally lead the army and climb the cherry blossoms."
"Yes"
