Chapter 415: I Like It
When Miyamoto Daichi and Wang Xiang came to the imperial city, they found that the rebels in the imperial city had been emptied, leaving only the unknown Fuso people.
The recapture of the Imperial City was a very important matter, and Miyamoto Daichi immediately sent someone to inform Matsudaira Ichiro and asked him to escort Emperor Jitong to the Imperial City, as long as the Emperor returned to the Imperial City, he could call on more forces.
Even if Wang Xiang and Li Yuanba could withstand the continuous attack for several days, ordinary people like Miyamoto Dachi couldn't stand it, so after occupying the imperial city, they were not in a hurry to continue to act, but now the imperial city is settled.
Soga Ezo still occupies the vast majority of Fuso Castle, and Miyamoto has to send someone to investigate where they retreated after abandoning the Imperial Castle.
Wang Xiang, Li Yuanba and others stayed in the Fuso Imperial Palace for the time being, and a few days later, Matsudaira Ichiro escorted Miyamoto Shizuka to the Imperial City with the Fuso soldiers of Asuka Castle.
At this time, through the fleeing rebels and the people of Fuso, Wang Xiang and others rushed to the city several battles also spread in Fusang, the more the legend of the demon god spread, the rebels suddenly panicked, and even many were occupied by the rebels before the city took the initiative to surrender to the emperor, they felt that the demon god was sent by Amaterasu to help the emperor, it can be seen that the emperor is orthodox. This result was unexpected by Wang Xiang and Miyamoto Daichi.
After staying in the imperial city for a few days and doing nothing, the strength of the emperor's side was much stronger, and Su I Ezo was anxious and angry, and he didn't dare to do it with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands.
The Minister of Fusang, who was originally dismissive of the Demon God, was also a little at a loss at this time, not to mention the truth or falsehood of the Demon God's statement, from the mouths of more and more Fusang soldiers who fled back, they had already affirmed the horror of the dozen or so Tang people. In other words, what Soga Ezo said about the Battle of Asuka City is true. Those who can kill 30,000 troops with the strength of one man will flee on their backs, and the lord will flee into the wilderness. Who can not be afraid of such an enemy.
"Lord Soga, the prestige of the ruling emperor is getting stronger and stronger, and many cities have already taken refuge in them, and if this continues, the situation will be very unfavorable for us."
Su I Ezo rubbed his head and said irritably, "What good can you do?" ”
The minister who spoke rolled his eyes and said, "If those Tang people are really as powerful as rumored......
"Don't doubt it, what I've seen with my own eyes is even more terrifying than rumors!" Seeing that he was still skeptical, Su I suddenly became impatient.
"Yes, yes, I'm just curious why those Tang people would want to help Emperor Jitong?"
"Hmph, why else. Matsudaira Ichiro once sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and those Tang people came back with him, so it must be the reinforcements he asked for from the Tang Dynasty! ”
"Lord Su, Fusang is not attached to Datang, and it is separated by the vast sea, Datang will definitely not send troops to help for no reason."
Su I Ezo frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
The minister said confidently: "I think it must be Matsudaira Ichiro who promised the Tang people benefits, and the Tang Dynasty will send people to help, since the person who holds the emperor can promise the Tang people benefits, we can also give them benefits, with our current power, we can give them more benefits, and when the time comes, these Tang people will be used by us......"
Hearing this, Su I Ezo nodded and pondered, and after a while, he spoke: "You sent someone to inquire about what benefits Matsudaira Ichiro promised the Tang people." And also...... Ask why the strength of those Tang people is so terrifying. ”
Although the Imperial City was abandoned, Soga Ezo's power was still much stronger than that of Emperor Jitoi. It soon found out that Matsudaira Ichiro promised five cities in the southwest, but there was no clue about Li Yuanba's strength.
Su I Ezo was worried that Wang Xiang and the others would not know when they would attack again, so they immediately sent someone to secretly go to the imperial city.
Wang Xiang met the envoy sent by Su I Ezo, he was a shrewd old man, he spoke more fluently than Matsudaira Ichiro, and claimed to be the most trusted minister under Su I Ezo, and he was extremely respectful when he met, first expressing Su I Ezo's admiration for the Tang Dynasty, and then touting Wang Xiang and the Tang Army he brought.
Wang Xiang smiled and listened to his praise and compliments and did not speak, the old man saw Wang Xiang's calm and relaxed appearance, and secretly sighed and directly explained his intention.
"You're saying Soga Ezo wants me to help him deal with the Emperor?" Wang Xiang still had a faint smile on his face.
The old man couldn't see through Wang Xiang's thoughts, nodded and said: "Yes, our Lord Su I said, as long as Lord Hou is willing to help us, in addition to the five cities in the southwest promised by Matsudaira Ichiro, our Lord will also give Lord Hou two more prosperous cities." ”
"Send two more cities." Wang Xiang said noncommittally.
The old man hurriedly said: "Yes, Lord Hou also knows that the Emperor does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands at all, and our Lord Su I has a large army, and our strength is much stronger than that of the Emperor of the Emperor, so it must be easier to help us than to help the Emperor." ”
Wang Xiang shook his head when he heard this: "No, no, I don't think there is any difference between helping you and helping the Emperor, 10,000 troops and 100,000 troops are actually the same for me. ”
This sentence can be described as extremely arrogant, but the old man did not dare to refute, with the strength of one person can defeat tens of thousands of troops, if more than a dozen people in Wang Xiang's hands have such strength, there is indeed not much difference between an army of 10,000 and an army of 100,000.
Wang Xiang chuckled and said, "As for the two cities, in a few days, my men will be able to take over six cities, including Fengpu City and the Imperial City, do you think I will care about the two more cities you give?" ”
After listening to Wang Xiang's words, the old man opened his mouth and didn't know how to respond, Wang Xiang was right, whether it was the difference in strength between the two sides or the city, there was no difference to him, and there was no need to think about it so much.
"Then why are you helping Emperor Jitong?" The old man asked directly.
Wang Xiang said casually: "No, I like it." ”
This time the old man was completely out of line, his whole heart sank, strength is willful, and the three words "I like" are enough.
In fact, it makes no difference to Wang Xiang to help anyone, he has already regarded Fusang as his own back garden, no matter who is the emperor, in the end, the whole Fusang is still up to him.
The reason why I chose to help the Emperor was because Kawamura Shoichi was a person on the side of the Emperor, and secondly, Matsudaira Ichiro also gave Wang Xiang a lot of benefits, and whether it was in the Tang Dynasty or in Fuso, Matsudaira Ichiro was extremely respectful to him, and he was really embarrassed to help Su I Ezo bully the honest Matsudaira Ichiro. Another reason is that Shizuka Miyamoto, a little Lori, looks much more pleasing to the eye than Su I Ezo, I don't know if Su I Ezo will be so angry that he vomits blood if he knows this reason.
