Li Chengqian had been standing behind the crowd, looking at a group of old guys who were going crazy there and shaking his head with a wry smile.

As the saying goes, if you don't know the price of firewood and rice, if you don't raise children, you don't know the kindness of your parents, and the first war of the Japanese kingdom almost made him feel anxious, even if he saw the grain harvest in the field, he was a little unhappy.

And Li You, who was far away in the Wa Kingdom, also had such an idea at this time, when he was in China, he felt that Datang had advanced equipment and warriors who had survived a hundred battles, and he could naturally win a hundred battles on the battlefield.

But it wasn't until he actually went to the Wa Kingdom and fought a few battles that he realized that fighting a war would eventually kill people, especially in the face of a group of irrational and extremely ferocious enemies, everything he had imagined had become so ethereal and unreal.

People on the battlefield are irrational, and behind the victory often represents the loss of countless fathers to their sons, wives to their husbands, and sons to their fathers.

These are all things he didn't think about before, he only saw the glory of the flowers and horses before the triumph of the Tang Dynasty, and only saw the majesty of the Datang Iron Horse when it galloped, but he didn't see how many people behind the glory and might paid for it.

A man who has not been on the battlefield is not a mature man, Li You doesn't know who said this, maybe he summed it up himself, anyway, such a sentence flashed in his mind inexplicably.

Then I thought of what I used to look like when I was walking across the streets in Chang'an City and showing off my might.

Thinking about it, Li You actually laughed, at this time he suddenly found that he was so naïve and ridiculous at that time, no wonder the old man in the family always looked at him, it turned out to be .......

Li You, who realized this, seemed to have matured a lot all of a sudden, and became a lot more silent, he no longer asked for a strong attack on Pingchengjing, because he knew that it was unrealistic, and he also began to get used to listening, listening to the opinions of Songtsen Gampo, listening to Li Zhen's opinions, listening to Yang Tian's opinions, and finally synthesizing their opinions and thinking slowly.

Time passed little by little, and as the weather became colder and colder, the Japanese attack began to ease up, after all, they also needed to survive the winter, and they also needed reserves for the winter, so the war stopped unconsciously.

At this time, the Wa Kingdom was actually in a very embarrassing situation, the Suga clan, the Wubu clan and other major families had ceased war, and in the face of the attack of the Tang Dynasty, they also knew the truth that the outside must first settle the inside.

However, although there was a truce between them, the hatred between them still existed, and several teams did not belong to each other and fought separately, and at the beginning, because they needed to break the Tang army's encirclement of Pingchengjing, they launched an attack at all costs.

But now, the siege of Pingchengjing has basically been lifted, and Emperor Shu Ming has also left Pingchengjing, and there is no point in continuing to fight with the Tang army.

Because for those clans, controlling the emperor in the future and achieving greater benefits for the family is the right way, as for when to drive the Tang army out, I'm sorry, aren't there other families!

Emperor Shu Ming has no way to deal with forces like several major families, and his subordinates are basically organizing defense in Pingchengjing at the moment, and they have not withdrawn with him at all, so what he is worried about at this time is how to keep his throne, after all, there are still many people in the country who have the right to inherit the throne, and it is not that he can't do without him.

Therefore, although he was angry at the practice of several major families to preserve their strength, he did not dare to bring it up at all, and finally for the sake of everyone's face, he simply found a reason to hoard materials and wait for the spring of the next year to drive the Tang army into the sea in one fell swoop to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere between several waves of reinforcements.

Osaka, the prince's palace of the Yamaguchi Elder Brother, can also be said to be the temporary residence of Emperor Shumei.

This time, the lords of several major families who participated in the rescue operation gathered together to discuss the specific plan for fighting the Tang Army in the future.

I could only hear the voice of Su I Ezo echoing above the main hall: "My Su I clan suffered a lot of losses in the battle of the dock, and I am no longer able to launch a frontal attack on the Tang army, so this matter will be left to the Monobe clan." ”

The head of the Monobe clan just waited for Su I's Ezo voice to fall, and then immediately said, "Nonsense, the loss of less than 20,000 people is quite large? Are you really so weak? ”

"The head of the Monobu family, please don't cross the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, so that my clan has also eliminated a defender on the docks, but what about you? What have you been doing for so long? What are the special achievements? ”

"You ......" The head of the Monobe clan was glared at by the angry blowing beard, but there was nothing he could do.

He is facing the most elite sea hero 'Sea Wolf' in the Tang Dynasty, don't look at the number of only 5,000, but the combat power is not comparable to the more than three noons on the dock.

After several months of fighting, they attacked the obstacles of the 'Sea Wolves' no less than fifty times, but each time they were beaten back before they could get close to the battle distance, not to mention the heavy losses, and they did not achieve any results.

"Okay, don't quarrel with the generals, this time we are preparing to make a battle plan for the coming year, let the past pass." Emperor Shu Ming saw that the Su I clan and the Wubu clan were arguing, and hurriedly played round fields and thin mud.

But at this moment, a slightly mocking voice came: "The battle plan for the coming year? Your Majesty is thinking a little too much? ”

"What is the opinion of the big brother king of the mountain? Why don't you listen to it? Facing his most powerful competitor back then, an unnatural smile flashed on Shu Ming's face.

is the so-called king and defeat, when he Shu Ming won the throne, the prince who was supposed to be the emperor was sent to Osaka by him, but now that the situation is reversed, he, the emperor, needs to ask for help from his previous competitors, how can this make Shu Ming happy.

The eldest brother of the mountain, Wang, was sitting in an inconspicuous corner at this time, and after hearing the words of Emperor Shu Ming, he was not polite, stood up and walked to the center of the conference hall, and said loudly: "We actually all know that the strength of Datang is definitely more than the more than the more than 50,000 people outside, on the other side of the sea, they still have an army of nearly two million, why are you sure that Datang has no reinforcements here?" On what basis do you think the next battle will be tomorrow spring? ”

I have to say that the words of the big brother king of the mountain back almost made a heavy hammer hit everyone's hearts, making these pillars of the Japanese people who had a fluke mentality change color.

Yes, none of them can be sure that Datang will have reinforcements, nor can they be sure that the next big battle will be in the spring, these are just their wishful thinking, nothing more.
