Without the regent, Yamatai is in chaos.

The thirty countries of Izumo are not much better than Yamadai.

The king died in battle, and a new king succeeded him, and some countries doubted Himiko's divine power.

After all, in the first battle with the Cao army, the Izumo army did not rely on divine power at all, and the 60,000 soldiers were almost all killed by the Cao army like pigs.

A few days later, Cao Jun appeared in the capital city of Yamatai.

At the head of the castle, Izumo soldiers stood by and armed with their rudimentary bows and arrows in an attempt to defend themselves against Cao's army.

Their walls are different from those of the Central Plains.

The walls here are made of wood, and they are far inferior to those of the Central Plains in terms of strength and height.

Looking at the walls of the capital city of Yamatai, Cao Shuo smiled and asked the generals on the side, "Ladies and gentlemen, how long do you think it will take us to break through this city?" ”

"Two days at most." Huang Zhong said on the side: "It's all wood, and a fire can burn it all." ”

"What General Huang said coincides with me." Cao Shuo said: "I just planned to set a fire here, but I am afraid that two days will not be able to break through the city wall, after all, it will take more than ten days to build a catapult." ”

"Childe is going to set fire to a catapult?" Frustrated asked.

"Exactly." Cao Shuo said: "Throw oil at the city wall, wait until the city wall is full of oil, and then use rockets to ignite it, but the city wall can be burned to the ground in one day." ”

"Childe is going to do everything for Izumo." "I really don't understand why this is happening. ”

"I've said it more than once." Cao Shuo said: "No, it's just because I don't think they're happy." ”

Fu Zhu and the others were all full of black lines, and everyone muttered in their hearts, Childe was too willful, just because he saw that the Yun people were unhappy, the two navies went out at the same time, and the good Izumo was harmed like this.

Cao soldiers build catapults outside the city.

Before I knew it, two or three days passed.

The catapult is still just a prototype, Cao Shuo is sitting in the handsome tent, is studying where to march after defeating the Evil Horse Terrace, Deng Zhan's voice came from outside the tent: "Qi Yu Gongzi, the Queen of the Evil Horse Terrace sent a messenger." ”

"Is it still difficult to lift rice?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Exactly." Deng Zhan answered outside the account.

"Bring him in." Cao Shuo commanded.

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao led the difficult rice to the tent.

Bowing to Cao Shuo, Nan Shengmi said, "I came to see King Huainan on the orders of the queen. ”

"How?" Looking at the difficult rice, Cao Shuo asked, "Soldiers first and then salute?" Send 60,000 troops to meet us, and if you can't defeat us, you have to use diplomatic means? ”

"The queen doesn't quite understand how Izumo offended the king of Huainan." Nanshengmi said: "The Central Plains and Izumo are separated by the sea, and if there is no reason, the king of Huainan should not come here." ”

"There's no reason for it." Cao Shuo said lightly: "I just took the navy around to have fun, I originally planned to make peace with Queen Izumo, but I didn't expect to be rejected." I have a fire in my heart, so I will find you some trouble. ”

"What does King Huainan want?" Nanshengmi said: "The queen said that as long as the king is willing to withdraw his troops, Izumo will be a vassal of Huainan from now on. ”

"There is no Huainan country in this world, there was once and has become a thing of the past." Cao Shuo said: "I am the king of Huainan, but the fief is in Huainan. Your queen really doesn't understand anything. ”

Cao Shuo criticized him to his face, although he was full of anger, because the previous battle made him know that Cao Jun was powerful, and he didn't dare to show it.

"That's what the king said." Nan Shengmi asked, "I don't know what we want to do, so the king is willing to withdraw his troops." ”

"Let your queen come to me." Cao Shuo said: "If she is a young woman, she will sleep tonight." In the future, I will arrange for her to have an outer house lady, and it is unlikely that she will enter the inner house. If she is really an old woman, I will also take her back to the Central Plains and find her a husband. ”

Cao Shuo was arrogant and rude, and every word he said was blaspheming Queen Izumo.

Nansheng Mi said angrily: "The king has no sincerity in peace talks at all. ”

"Peace talks?" Cao Shuo smiled and said, "Why do you want to make peace with me? Now I have led a large army to your capital, and if there is no peace talks, I will be able to break in and capture your queen in ten days. If there is a peace talk, I will have to get the benefits I want. ”

"Is the benefit that the king wants...... "Nansheng Mi asked unwillingly.

"That's right! It's your queen. Cao Shuo interrupted him: "Go back and tell Himiko that in this world, it has always been the fists of the strong who say the count." You are weak now, and you can do whatever I want. I don't want Izumo to be completely destroyed, so she'd better be obedient and return to the Central Plains with me. ”

Standing up and walking in front of Nanshengmi, Cao Shuo's mouth hooked a strange smile, and said to him coldly: "Just let her wait for our army to break through this city and bring her back to the Central Plains." But at that time, it was no longer a kiss, but a random old and ugly slave to marry her. ”

"King Huainan!" Nanshengmi's forehead was bulging, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be too deceitful......"

"What's wrong with bullying you?" Cao Shuo pursed his lips and waved his hand to Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao: "Send him back." ”

Deng Zhan said to Nan Shengmi: "Messenger, please." I don't think we need our help. ”

His face was pale, and the humiliated Nanshengmi turned around and left the handsome tent.

Hand him over to the guards, and Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao returned to the tent.

"Childe, there's something we don't quite understand." Deng Zhan said to Cao Shuo.

"Don't you understand why I'm doing this?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Yes." Deng Zhan said: "There have been many days of following Childe, although Childe used to do everything, but he has never been so aggressive. The words he said just now have no sincerity in peace talks, and no one else will endure it......"

"There is no sincerity because I have never thought of making peace with them." Cao Shuo said: "I came here to destroy this place. Peace talks? It's ridiculous! ”

Cao Shuo's attitude was decisive, and Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao didn't ask any more.

After the two of them withdrew from the tent, Zhu Ao asked Deng Zhan: "General Deng, have you noticed that when Childe mentions Izumo, he seems to be more hateful than he is for the Huns." ”

"The Huns have been harassing the border all year round, and we can all understand that Gongzi wants to destroy them." Deng Zhan said: "Izumo is just an overseas island, there is no threat to the Central Plains, and I don't understand why Childe is more fierce here than the Huns, as if he can't even leave a living person here." ”

Of course, the two of them didn't understand.

Living in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it is impossible for them to know like Cao Shuo what kind of suffering this Izumo has brought to the people of the Central Plains in the long river of history in the future.
