Chapter 370: Night Detective Li You
Liu Muxiang smiled and said: "I'm not stupid, the task is the task, I still have a family, I love my father-in-law, lovely daughter." I'm just going to deliver a message to Li You, and if he can hold out until our army is overwhelmed, we can rescue him. ”
"yes, that's it." The eldest grandson Chong said in a deep voice, for Li You, he is benevolent and righteous.
"Without further ado, I'll pack my things and leave tonight." Liu Muxiang replied, "According to the instructions on the map, it is estimated that there is a distance of five hundred miles, and it will take me five days, and ten days back and forth. Don't worry, don't worry about me. ”
The eldest grandson Chong found the clothes worn by the samurai of the Wa Kingdom, the men's ones, tied his hair high, and also found a Katana of the Wa Kingdom, and even put on the clogs of the Wa Kingdom.
"Is this appropriate for me?" Liu Muxiang looked at the clothes and asked, especially the clogs, how can there be shoes with a thousand layers of soles that are comfortable to wear.
Changsun Chong said: "But you don't change your clothes, you are dressed in Hanfu, others will recognize you as a Tang Dynasty person when they see it, and you can still be peaceful along the way." ”
"But I don't speak the language, I'm going to set off at night and rest during the day, and I don't seem to need this thing." Yanagi explained that she had no intention of showing up in front of people.
Eldest Sun Chong shook his head and said, "Just in case, if you don't speak Japanese, there is no problem, you can pretend to be dumb." In addition, you don't like to wear clogs, and there are cloth shoes in the style of the Japanese country. Bring it, listen to me, put it on, even if you meet a widow, you can still pretend, and don't do it if you can. ”
Liu Muxiang saw that what Changsun Chong said was quite reasonable, so he went to change his clothes, took a katana, took dry food, and set off. The goal of horseback riding is Tai, Yanagi Xiang is walking.
Fortunately, they all walk at night. It took four days to finally arrive in Osaka and find an inn to rest. The food was sent to the house, and Lu Tianxiang used all gestures, because she couldn't speak Japanese, but she was also fooled by her. In the afternoon, Liu Muxiang walked around the city to get an idea of the approximate location.
In the evening, at midnight, the willow wood fragrance was cleaned up. flew out of the window and went to the place where Li You was being held. It is an ancient annex with quaint wooden houses everywhere and a lot of cherry blossoms planted in the yard, which looks very meaningful. However, Liu Muxiang did not have the leisure to watch. Lying on top of the house, he searched for the yard where Li You was according to his memory.
It took half an hour. Finally found the courtyard where Li You was being held. It was the middle of the night, and Li You hadn't slept yet, and there seemed to be a woman in the room. Liu Muxiang really wants to scold her mother, what is the matter, they are worried about Li You, the cheap prince, all day long, but what about others. There was a red sleeve to add fragrance, grandma's, I knew I wouldn't come.
Liu Muxiang was determined to wait for half an hour, if the woman did not leave. She is leaving, it seems that Li You should not lose her life easily, as for sending a message, just as if she didn't come this time.
But fortunately, Li You was not confused, and he didn't correct the little woman on the spot, and in a quarter of an hour, the woman in red went out. The oil lamp in the house was blown out, and it could be seen that Li You had fallen asleep.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Liu Muxiang lightly climbed in from the window, walked to Li You's window, covered Li You's mouth with one hand, and said, "Lord Wang, I'm Liu Muxiang!" I let you go, and you must not scream. ”
Liu Muxiang's voice, Li You could hear it, and nodded.
Liu Muxiang took away his hand and said, "How is the prince?" ”
Li You believed in the prince, and if he loses, he will not lose, and said: "This king is okay, are you here to save this king?" "I was very happy that there was still someone to save him, and she was also the concubine of Changsun Chong. However, he heard that this woman's martial arts are very high, and she once defeated Cheng Chumo, Li Yexu, Duan Qian and others.
Liu Muxiang chuckled: "If your martial arts have my Yicheng, I may take you out today." It's okay for me to come and go here, but I'm not sure if I can bring you. In case it is discovered, it will make the prince very passive. ”
Li You's face turned pale, and he was not going to save him when he heard the meaning, and said, "If you rescue me, I will give you whatever you want." ”
Liu Muxiang refused: "I don't want anything, this time I will inform you on the orders of my minister, you must save your life in the Wa Kingdom." When it's time to show weakness, don't be strong. When our army is overwhelmed, we can safely get you out. ”
"I know that Eldest Sun Chong is not so kind." Li You muttered, "You don't plan to save me." ”
Liu Muxiang explained: "Lord Wang, I am alone, running hundreds of miles on foot, if this does not show that my father-in-law cares about you, then my subordinates really don't know what it is." Now there are Japanese people inside and out, even if I can rescue you from this courtyard, but I can't get out of the city of Daban, and when the time comes, the two of us will be finished, and we will still be scared. ”
Li You listened to it, and also knew that what Liu Muxiang said was true, and said: "Thank you, presumably the eldest grandson's eldest cousin also sent you privately, and my father will never affect the great cause because of a prince who does not do his job." If it is replaced by the prince's brother, the father may still think about it. ”
"As long as you live, you can get the arrival of the army. As long as the army surrounds Osaka Castle, when the time comes, we will be safe as long as we escape from Osaka Castle. Liu Muxiang comforted, "My husband is worried that you will have a bad temper or swear to die, so let me tell you, nothing is more important than being alive." ”
When Li You heard this, fortunately, there were still people who were worried about him, although he also hated this person, and said: "Okay, I know, I will wait for you to save me, and I must not die in the hands of the Japanese people." ”
"That's good, here are some drugs, you put them away, don't use them until you have to." Liu Muxiang took out a small package from her arms, "Be sure to hide it!" ”
"Yes, by the way, thank you to the eldest grandson and eldest cousin on my behalf." Li You said softly, "You hurry up, after a while, it is estimated that someone will come to check the night and be discovered, it will be bad." ”
Liu Muxiang clenched his fists and said, "Take care, prince!" "Fly out of the window, and in the blink of an eye, you can't see the shadow. If it weren't for Li You still holding a small package in his hand, he would definitely think that it was a dream just now.
Yanagi returned to the inn and quickly fell asleep, preparing to leave Osaka Castle tomorrow afternoon.
When I went back, Yanagi Xiang was like an arrow, and it took three days to reach Fukuoka in Kyushu. Seeing that Liu Muxiang had lost a lot of weight, Changsun Chong hugged Liu Muxiang tightly and said, "Wife, I don't want you to do such a dangerous thing in the future." ”
Liu Muxiang chuckled: "Hehe, didn't I come back safely?" You don't know my martial arts? The one who can catch me has not yet been born. ”
"I don't care, I won't allow it in the future anyway. How's that kid Li You? Dead or not? Eldest Sun Chong asked.
Liu Muxiang said with a smile: "Li You lives a very moist life, and there are beautiful women with red sleeves to add fragrance." Don't worry, he is already mentally prepared, and it is estimated that he is seventy percent sure that he will be able to rescue Li You. ”
"That's good. It just so happens that the army has arrived, and in three days, we will encircle the Japanese kingdom in a big way. Changsun Chong explained, "At that time, I'll just send some secret guards over." ”
The next day, Li Jing saw Liu Muxiang and didn't ask much, knowing that she was going to carry out the special task assigned by Changsun Chong.
Three days later, when the army was marching out, Li Jing took out a jade pendant from his arms and threw it into the sea, which was regarded as money for the opening of the sea god, and prayed for the protection of the sea god. Although Changsun Chong didn't believe this, he tried to be auspicious, and he also threw a small thing in the sea.
The navy from Weihaiwei was personally led by Zhang Daliang and attacked the Japanese from the north; The navy from Quanzhou attacked from the east; Then the army led by Li Jing besieged from the south.
Tactically, a siege on three sides is to give the enemy six points of life, so that there will be no situation where the enemy is left to death and then reborn.
The Japanese people have admired the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and when they saw the Tang army coming, they would resist at first, but when the artillery fire blew open the city gate and the bright Tang knife entered, they laid down their weapons one after another. Just because the Tang soldiers said that those who surrender will not hurt their lives; Those who stubbornly resist will be killed.
Each town had to go through several repressions before it really controlled the local people. A steady stream of merchant ships, loaded with captives, were transported to various parts of the Tang Dynasty. The people left behind in the Japanese country are deeply exploited people, these people have no lethality, as long as they are good to them and give them benefits, they can be controlled.
For this part of the people, in order to concentrate his troops and appease them, Changsun Chong gathered them one after another, distributed their land, and told them that they only needed to pay 30% of the rent every year, and the rest was all theirs. For the people of China's semi-serf-and-semi-feudal country, having seventy percent of the harvest is much more than they imagined, and it is completely the opposite of before, when they kept thirty percent and handed over seventy percent. At the end of the year, I can't get enough to eat.
The lower-class people in our country have been given ten acres of land per person, and they have become very honest, so that they can keep their one acre and three points of land regardless of the hot fighting in the city.
Without the support of the people, the royal family of the Wa Kingdom is like a castle in the air, crumbling. As long as it was a place that was captured by the Tang Dynasty, it was out of the control of the Wa Kingdom.
A month later, only a few surrounding towns remained, including Daban. The original white and chubby face of the lord of the Japanese kingdom is now skinny, he never thought that his country would be so vulnerable, and in only half a month, it has already become a piece of meat in the mouth of the Tang Dynasty.
"Mei Chuan Xiongda, what is the use of you arresting a prince, kill him immediately, to vent the hatred in my heart." The lord of the Wa Kingdom was furious.
Umegawa Yudai grimaced and said, "Yes, Your Highness." ”
Umegawa Yuda went back, preparing to find someone to cut it and hide Li You secretly, in case he was captured by the Tang Dynasty, there was still a card in his hand, and he might be able to save his life. (To be continued......)
