"For you will pay the price of blood for what you have done! The price of blood can only be repaid with blood! ”

Lu Yan looked at Ze'an's eyes and said categorically.

From Lu Yan's eyes, Ze'an saw infinite killing intent and extremely firm determination, which made him feel a little distressed.

Why is Lu Yan so aggressive, doesn't he know how many civilians will die in this way.

"You go back and tell Tokugawa Hidetada that if he is willing to surrender unconditionally, I can spare the Tokugawa family. Otherwise, once the Japanese kingdom is defeated, I will behead the Tokugawa family. ”

Lu Yan said again.

Ze'an sighed, and then said, "Doesn't the prince want to think about his descendants?" I am afraid that the Buddha will blame him for such a heinous killing. ”

Lu Yan said with a sneer.

Thousands of lives, what does that mean?

For a moment, Sawaan was a little confused.

"Tell Tokugawa Hidetada what I say, either surrender unconditionally or fight me to the death. There is no other way. In addition, I have the news that my army has launched an attack on Kyoto, and perhaps your emperor has fallen into my hands. ”

"It can't be!"

Zean couldn't help but scream.

Although he was a high-ranking monk, the Emperor of Japan still held a high position in his heart.

In the minds of the Wakoku people, the emperor is a descendant of Amaterasu. It is the existence that nurtures all souls.

For almost a thousand years. No matter who is in power. The position of the emperor has always been unshakable.

Lu Yan didn't explain too much to him, but continued: "You better go back, if he doesn't surrender, within a month, I will personally lead a large army to level Edo Castle." At that time, the fate of the Tokugawa family will not be up to him. ”

Hearing this, Ze'an's face was extremely ugly.

Later, no matter how he persuaded him, Lu Yan never had the intention of changing his mind.

If China wants to rise, the Japanese state must be defeated.

So in the end, Sawaan had no choice but to leave here. With Lu Yan's extremely harsh conditions.

Nara, formerly known as Yamato, is bordered by Osaka to the west and Kyoto to the north, and is one of the cradles of Japanese culture.

In the Middle Ages, a country called Yamato in Nara unified Japan, and later the Japanese called themselves the Yamato nation, which shows the importance of Nara to Japan.

At this time, Nara was completely devoid of its usual beauty, and you could see the teams fleeing from the Wa Kingdom everywhere.

The war in Kyoto frightened them, and they wanted to avoid the spread of war. More and more people are fleeing from Kyoto.

Such contingents were everywhere on the official roads, but due to the Mongol grain requisition.

As a result, these refugees are suffering from an extreme shortage of food. Therefore, in order to live, these refugees often make cameo appearances as robbers, and even rape and plunder by the way, so the corpses of some refugees will be encountered from time to time on the official road.

"Deliver all the gold, silver, and grain, and if anyone dares to hide it, we will kill you all."

On an official road, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers stopped a team of hundreds of refugees, and then said viciously to them.

The first samurai even looked at the women with obscene eyes, hoping to pick out a satisfactory one of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we can hand over the gold and silver, but can you leave us some food?"

An old man in his forties pleaded bitterly.

In times of war, the most precious things are always food and weapons, sometimes money may not be able to buy food, and those Mongols have robbed a lot of food, and now food is definitely the most precious thing now.

Therefore, the old man preferred to give up the gold and silver to keep the grain.

"Yaga Yalu!"

A spear-wielding ashigaru stepped forward and kicked him to the ground, "If you don't give us food, what will you let us eat, you old man has a very bad conscience." ”

After the old man was knocked to the ground, an unknown cruelty flashed in his eyes.

He is a person who has survived from the Warring States period, and he has killed many people during the Warring States period, including not only bandits, but also deserters.

In order to protect the village, many people in their village practiced martial arts and owned a large number of swords.

But the abundance of weapons among the people has raised fears among the rulers that they will use them to overthrow their rule.

So starting with Oda Nobunaga, all the way to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, they all worked to collect all kinds of weapons from the people.

So now, there are not many weapons left in their village.

This filled the old man's heart with incomparably hatred, if he had a weapon in his hand.

Even if the Mongolian grain convoy comes, they will not be without the power to resist. Even these dozen or so routers will be killed by them.

After kicking the old man to the ground, the spearman punched and kicked him again, scolding him as he returned.

In order to prevent these people from going on a killing spree, he could only endure bitterly.

The rest of the rout stepped forward to collect the refugees' money and food, some of whom were reluctant to give them money and food, but the rout did not hesitate to slash them.

Suddenly, there were bursts of screams from the team.

At this moment, the rumbling of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance.

Hearing this, both these routs and refugees were terrified.

Could it be that the Mongol cavalry is coming?

In their eyes, those Mongols were no different from demons.

Thinking of this, these defeated soldiers and refugees couldn't care about the problem of robbery, and they scattered like birds and beasts.

It didn't take long for a large number of cavalry to rush in a whirlwind.

The evil Wa State Armor, the dwarf Kiso Horse, and the Wa State Cavalry.

Judging by the dust they kicked up, there were at least a few thousand of them.

Some refugees who did not flee far couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this, it turned out to be their own cavalry.

But the defeated soldiers were not happy. Just committed a bloody crime here. I came across a large number of cavalry. It's just a little worse than running into the Mongol cavalry.

Seeing the refugees screaming in a pool of blood, a somewhat elderly cavalryman led by him couldn't help but frown.

Then he gave the order, and hundreds of cavalry immediately pursued the rout.

It wasn't long before a scream came from afar.

The routers were slaughtered by these cavalry.

Seeing this, the refugees stopped one after another, fearing that one of them would accidentally provoke the cavalry, so that they would not go on a killing spree.

Soon, the refugees were captured by some cavalry.

Look at these shivering refugees. The old cavalryman asked with a grim face, "Do you know what the situation is in Kyoto now?" ”。

Those refugees, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all shake their heads.

However, some of them looked at the people behind them, and they knew that they had escaped from the city of Kyoto.

One of them, a black-faced young man of about twenty years old, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Lord Kaiyu, those Mongols have already attacked the city of Kyoto yesterday. ”

"What do you say? They stormed Kyoto? ”

"How is His Majesty the Emperor?"

Hearing this, those samurai couldn't help but be taken aback, and then asked one after another.

The old cavalryman also had a worried look on his face, and looked at the young man with a nervous expression.

"His Majesty the Emperor should be fine, the Imperial City has not yet been captured. At that time, rumors spread throughout the city that the Mongols were going to slaughter the city. Lord Sekihaku called on everyone to take up arms to defend His Majesty the Emperor, and many people responded to Lord Sekihaku's call. Fought with the Mongols. ”

Speaking of which, the black-faced young man looked guilty, and it was obvious that he had escaped from the battle.

Hearing this, those samurai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But soon, they all looked at the young man with contempt, what a cowardly coward.

"This matter must be reported to the Shogun immediately, and if we go late, His Majesty the Emperor may be in danger."

The warrior thought for a moment and said.

The other samurai also nodded, and although their army had already reached Nara, it would take some time to reach Kyoto.

If His Majesty has three long and two short, then it will be bad.

The samurai at the head glanced at his men, he was the new old Naka Abe Shigeji, who was trusted by the Tokugawa family.

This time, he was ordered to lead all the cavalry to come to the rescue of Kyoto, and the composition of this cavalry team was very complicated.

There are cavalry directly under the Tokugawa family, as well as cavalry of various daimyo and imperial families, and even some of them are not good at cavalry and only know how to fight under the horse.

However, in order to rescue Kyoto, Tokugawa Iemitsu sent them out in one go.

"Ladies and gentlemen, His Majesty the Emperor is now in danger. With Kyoto in front of us, we may encounter enemy cavalry at any time, so we should be prepared for battle. ”

Abe Shigeji said.

"Lord Abe, are we just rushing over like this? You must know that the enemy has tens of thousands of cavalry, and if we go like this, we will definitely die. I don't know if you have any plans, but it's best to say it now. ”

At this time, a young samurai said.

Abe Shigeji took one look at him and found that he was one of the three royal families, Yui Masayuki, a subordinate of Tokugawa Yorinobu.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but snort coldly.

In the Ming Dynasty, the three families and the loyal chief played a very disgraceful role.

As an important minister of Tokugawa Iemitsu, he knew this.

"Of course I do, so our purpose is not to fight the enemy. Our goal is to foil the enemy so that they cannot attack Kyoto with all their might, and wait for the arrival of the Shogun's army. ”

After saying that, he told his detailed plan.

Listening to his plan, everyone nodded again and again, feeling that the feasibility was very high.

Yui Zhengxue's eyes flashed, and he did not continue to object.

After a short rest, the army marched again to Kyoto. (To be continued......)
