After Umegawa Yuda went back, he found a relatively white prisoner from among the death row prisoners, disguised himself a little, and became Li You, whose head was cut off and thrown to feed the dogs.

Junzo Ono has been supervising the formation and training of the new army outside, but the army that has been incorporated has not been able to keep up with the number of dead and wounded and captured on the battlefield. When he came back, he heard that the king had killed the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he was so frightened that he almost fell on the ground, and said: "Your Highness, you must not kill the King of the Ryukyus, that is the son of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." In case our Wa Kingdom is defeated, with the prince in hand, good life and preferential treatment, as long as the prince of the Tang Dynasty does not die, it will be impossible for the Tang Emperor to kill the royal family and the family of the Wa Kingdom in the future. "Junzo Ono knows something about the gentleman's integrity in the Central Plains, but if the other party breaks the rules of the game first, then what awaits them is crazy revenge. If the lord of the country makes a wrong step, and now he takes a wrong step, does God really want to kill us?

The lord of the Wa Kingdom was stunned, he has now been attacked by the Tang Dynasty in a corner of peace, according to this situation, it is only a matter of time before he is captured by the Tang Dynasty. He was so angry that he didn't think about it. Now when I heard what Umegawa said, I regretted not being at the beginning, but he gave the order, so naturally he couldn't slap himself in the mouth and said, "Is that really the case? ”

Junzo Ono replied, "Your Highness, this matter can still be used to talk nonsense. The Tang Dynasty is like this against the enemy Turks and Tuyuhun, we are now the first to kill Li You, can the Tang Emperor still be able to let us go with kindness? ”

The lord of the Wa Kingdom said stiffly: "But it is said that Li You is not favored by the Tang Emperor. ”

Ono Junsan listened to it, whether the lord of the country was old and confused, no matter how bad Li You was, it was also the Tang Emperor, and said: "The Central Plains said that it depends on the owner to beat the dog." Not to mention the son. If the Tang Emperor has something to do, if you can kill his son, he will think that you also have a save to kill him, so we are very tricky now. ”

The lord of the Wa Kingdom was anxious and stood up suddenly, now the defeat has become a foregone conclusion, and Takagi Juncai, who went to the Tang Dynasty to seek peace, is no trace, and eighty percent of the land has been occupied by the Tang Dynasty, what should I do now?

"Ladies and gentlemen. So what's going on now? The employer hurriedly asked, "Everyone hurry up and think of a way to get through this difficulty." If we continue like this, we will really die. ”

Umegawa Yudai listened to Junzo Ono's words just now, and was extremely glad that he had saved Li You's life by stealing the beam and changing the pillar before. But he had already said that he had executed Li You before, and now he would not admit to bullying the monarch. If someone from the royal family dies. Then he, the one who saved Li You. may be able to get the support of the Tang Dynasty and become the new lord of the Japanese state.

Everyone was silent, thinking that after returning home this time, they would immediately evacuate the house slaves and arrange for their wives and concubines to go to the countryside to recuperate, and they could not continue to stay here. They all have tips. In the place captured by the Tang Dynasty, the inferior people lived the most comfortably.

Junzo Ono smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the 150,000 soldiers recruited before were all defeated. If you don't die, you will be captured, and now you can only recruit troops in the suburbs of Wangcheng, and you can only find 30,000 soldiers after a full battle, plus the original 30,000 city guards, now we only have 100,000 troops, and we don't know how to resist the attack of the 200,000 army of the Tang Army. "Junzo Ono hasn't said yet, the 200,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all fierce soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, and they are not comparable to the recruits he recruited.

According to the statistics on the battlefield, the ratio of casualties between the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom reached 1 to 20, what is this concept? That is to say, the Tang Dynasty killed and injured one person, and the corresponding Wa Kingdom had to die twenty people, and after a few major battles, there were still a few people left.

Just when the Japanese country was worried and the people were panicking, Takagi Toshicai came back with two people in embarrassment. To say that this Takagi Juncai is indeed a talent, he was caught by Datang, and he escaped cunningly, a small boat, fortunately, was not overturned by the sea, and actually floated to Silla.

If Takagi Juncai can't reach the Tang Dynasty, then he can't fool the Tang Emperor, so he launched his mouth, fooling Silla and Baekje, and even Goguryeo, left and right, and actually said that he moved the three families and "advanced and retreated" with the Wa Kingdom.

When Takagi learned that most of the land had fallen, he thought about tempting them with these fallen lands, and Silla and Baekje, which were already small countries, often made big moves for big things and small things, and in the final analysis, it was because of the problem of too little land. Now that the Wa Kingdom has given such a large piece of cake, it readily agrees that all the land and people that have been stolen are theirs.

Goguryeo, too, had this kind of thinking, and was even more greedy, not only preparing to send troops to the Wa Kingdom to grab territory, but even moving troops in the places bordering the Tang Dynasty, thinking that they knew that the Tang Dynasty had sent 200,000 troops, and the northwest, southwest, and Youzhou needed to be heavily guarded, so the troops were insufficient. Even if Goguryeo sends troops, the Tang Dynasty will not carry out it without authorization, after all, the Tang Dynasty is using troops in the Wa Kingdom, and if it is a mercenary with Goguryeo now, it will cause a two-sided army, and the soldiers are taboo.

Besides, Goguryeo believed that Emperor Yang of Sui, who had once lost millions of dollars in three wars, and his confidence skyrocketed, believing that their army was the most powerful, so he took advantage of the fact that the Tang Dynasty had no time to look north, so he thought of this way of expanding his territory.

If you want to say that this Goguryeo is insidious, then no one can compare with it, and this Goguryeo even conspired to take advantage of Silla and Baekje, busy going to the Wa Kingdom to grab territory and capture Silla and Baekje. These two effects are in front of me all day long, and they have long been unpleasant to look at. Therefore, the mistake sent by Goguryeo to the Wa Kingdom was just a pretense to fight Silla and Baekje.

Junzo Ono and the others looked at the embarrassed Toshicai Takagi and asked, "What's wrong with Takagi-sama?" ”

The lord of the Wa Kingdom was now impetuous, and he had no mind to continue to wrestle, and said, "How is the matter of seeking peace? ”

Takagi Juncai knelt on the ground and said: "Your Highness, the minister is incompetent, he was caught before he got off the boat, and the guards around him desperately rescued me." But the ministers did not dare to return to China, so they went to Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje, begging them to send troops to save us from fire and water? ”

"Nonsense, then Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje are all vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, if you go over like this, won't you attract three more wolves. You must know that we can't deal with one tiger now, and three more wolves will have to eat us alive. The lord of the Wa Kingdom scolded that although he was afraid of death, he did not want to be the king of the dead country.

Takagi Juncai knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is angry, the minister still has something to say." The minister is not talented, he has read the history books of the Central Plains Dynasty since he was a child, coupled with his understanding of current political affairs, although Goguryeo is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty on the surface, he has always been hostile to the Tang Dynasty inside. The former dynasty Goguryeo defeated Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and occupied the northeast region of the Tang Dynasty, unwilling to spit it out, and the Tang Dynasty took back these lost territories, it is imperative, this is their irreconcilable contradiction, sooner or later there will be a war, now the Tang Dynasty is on our mercenaries, they can just take advantage of the weakness, as long as Goguryeo moves troops, the forces of the Tang Dynasty are bound to be transferred to the northeast to deal with Goguryeo. As for Silla and Baekje, they are just clowns, they can't beat Goguryeo, the two countries have been pinching each other for a long time, and now the ministers are bold enough to lure them and let them send troops, the lice are small, but they can also disgust people. ”

When the lord of the Japanese kingdom heard this, his eyes lit up, and it was indeed a good idea, and he said: "Your plan is good, but how can you tempt it? ”

"Lure them with land, as long as they snatch the land from Datang, it's all theirs." Takagi replied, and before he could say anything about it, he saw the angry lord of the country walking quickly and slapped him twice.

"Bastard, you didn't drive away the tiger and replace the wolf, not a glance." The lord of the Japanese kingdom said angrily that none of these ministers were useful, and he was angry with him.

"Your Highness is angry, the minister hasn't finished speaking, Silla, Baekje is just a clown, they occupy our land, it is better than being occupied by the Tang Dynasty, and after we take a breath, we can still grab it. Along the way, I have also seen the wealth of the people in Datang with my own eyes, and the taxes are very light. Datang only collects 20% of the tax, and the remaining 80% is all for the people. Even if Ryukyu and our own country were occupied by the Tang Dynasty, only 30% of the taxes were collected, and 70% remained in the hands of the people. In the long run, the people feel the benefits of becoming the people of the Tang Dynasty, who wants to be the people of His Royal Highness. "Takagi Juncai was stupid by the lord of the Japanese country, and he even said what he thought in the second half.

The lord of the Wa Kingdom was angry and wanted to fight again, but Junzo Ono had the foresight and hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Highness, what Takagi-sama said is not unreasonable. Silla and Baekje are clowns, the land is occupied by them, we can still take it back, but if it is occupied by the Tang Dynasty, we can't take it back. Central Plains nine sentences, there is milk is the mother, those lowly people get benefits from the Tang Dynasty, they will support the Tang Dynasty, and even in order to protect seventy percent of their labor income, and we are enemies, at that time, we are really hopeless to restore the country. ”

The lord of the Wa Kingdom took two steps back in despair, sat down on the couch decadently, and said, "Are we really at this point?"

Ono Junzen smiled bitterly, but he also had to nod, he knew that if there was no lord, he would be nothing, so he could only swear to protect his current status and honor and follow the lord.

"Since this is the case, then I will write a letter of state, and I would like to ask Takagi Aiqing to get Silla and Baekje, and Goguryeo, and say that this king agrees. How much land they grab, it's all theirs. "The lord of the Wa Kingdom has the meaning of breaking the cauldron and sinking the ship, if Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo can contain the Tang Dynasty, maybe there will be a turnaround.

Only then did Takagi Juncai put his mind at ease and said, "Yes, Your Highness, the minister will not fail in his mission." "He also has to fan the flames and make the three small countries suspicious of each other, so as to pave the way for him to get back his land in the future.

Umegawa Yuda bears the status of ninja Tianzun and shoulders hundreds of years of samurai inheritance, so he doesn't care who is the lord of the country, as long as he can carry forward the samurai spirit and expand the ninja team, it is the best explanation to his ancestors, so he is ready to do both, and if the country loses, he will take Li You to surrender; If the Wa Kingdom wins, then he will continue to be his prime minister.
