"The last general, Teng'er, is here to restore his life!" Dozens of steppe cavalry rushed along the path, and when they arrived in front of Xue Rengui, they immediately threw off their saddles and dismounted, gave a military salute and said in stiff Chinese. In addition to their own extraordinary skills, the generals of the grassland people must also know Chinese, and even Chinese is the first requirement, after all, they must understand the general's orders, otherwise there is no way to do the orders.

Xue Rengui swept his eyes and found that the fifty cavalry did not lose a single person, and on the saddles of several cavalrymen, there were also a few widows wearing silk lying horizontally, and they knew at a glance that they were not ordinary people, which made Xue Rengui's face finally show a satisfied smile, but then his face turned pale, and he roared sharply: "Teng'er, why did it take so long to come back to life?" ”

Teng'er clasped his fists again and saluted: "General Qiyu, the last general chased out nearly ten miles before discovering the fleeing Japanese people, who could have come back quickly, but found that there was a small city not far away, and there were not many defenders, so the last general wanted to enter the city to arrest a few Japanese officials, but I didn't expect that the Japanese people in the city didn't dare to resist at all when they saw us, and they surrendered all of a sudden, and the last general also brought their city lord and several officials together, please decide!" ”

Hearing Teng'er say that they captured a small city and arrested the city lord of the people, Xue Rengui was also startled at the moment, but then he immediately became happy, and glanced at Huli next to him demonstratively, and then praised Teng'er and the others a few words, and asked them to put the Japanese city lord up.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Japanese city lord was brought to Xue Rengui, he immediately turned over and knelt on the ground, and said in very fluent Chinese: "Lord Heavenly will spare his life." The villain is willing to surrender and do his best for the general! ”

This Japanese city lord is so fluent in Chinese. It made Xue Rengui stunned again, and Teng'er next to him was also a little jealous at this time: "General." According to him, the lord of the castle was a Japanese nobleman, and according to him, he had lived in Baekje for a while, so he learned to speak Chinese very fluently, which was much better than the last general. ”

Xue Rengui also came to his senses at this time, the other party knew Chinese and it was much easier to communicate, and seeing that this guy surrendered to himself so simply, it seems that he is also a soft bone, this kind of person is the best to use.

Come to think of it. Xue Rengui carefully looked at the widow kneeling in front of him, and saw that the other party was about forty years old, with a long face, thin eyes, and an extremely shrewd look, and he was dressed almost exactly like the Baekje nobles he had seen, no wonder he said that he had lived in Baekje.

"What's your name?" Xue Rengui stood up straight and asked with an arrogant expression.

"General Qiyu, the villain's name is Shishang Shou Me. It was originally a clan of the Monobe clan, but a few decades ago, our monobe clan and the Suga clan had a political disagreement, and they were almost wiped out. The villain's ancestor had to hide the surname of the Monobe and change it to Ishigami, waiting for the opportunity to kill the Su I clan. Now that I'm finally waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Soldiers, I'm asking the Heavenly Commander to make the decision for my Monobe clan. Wave your troops into Ishikawa and Soga and wipe out the Soga clan! "This guy named Mamoru Ishigami said to the end. almost burst into tears, looking like he had been wronged.

"Monobe?" Xue Rengui thought secretly after hearing this, he seemed to have some impression of this name, before the war, Su Dingfang had given a piece of information to various generals, which briefly introduced the current political situation of the Wa Kingdom, as if the above mentioned this Monobe clan, but that information was very brief, Xue Rengui didn't know what the origin of this Monobe clan was, but he was very clear about the Su I clan mentioned by the other party, and knew that it was the largest wealthy family in the Wa Kingdom, controlling the military and political power of the Wa Kingdom, and even the Wa King was at their mercy. Like Cao Cao in history, since the Wube clan was able to compete with the Su I clan for power, it must also be a great wealthy family in the country.

In fact, what Xue Rengui didn't know was that the Wube clan was still the old-timer of the Su I clan, when the Wube clan and another big companion clan jointly inherited the position of Dalian, the so-called Dalian is actually equivalent to the regent of the Wa Kingdom, and the military and political affairs are controlled by him, and even the Wa King is not as powerful as Dalian, and the Wu Bu clan, as a hereditary Dalian, is the first wealthy family in the Wa Kingdom.

It's a pity that this situation caused the dissatisfaction of the Wa King, so he supported the Su I clan and the Monobe clan to fight for power, and later through the question of whether to introduce Buddhism, the Su I clan united Prince Shotoku and the major wealthy families in the country, and jointly raised troops to attack the Monobe clan, as a result, although the Monobe clan repelled the coalition army one after another, but in the end, the Monobe Shouya in Dalian was killed, and the Monobe clan was defeated, and only a small part escaped, but they no longer dared to use the surname of the Monobu, changed to the Ishigami clan, and the Ishigami Shou I in front of Xue Rengui was the Ishigami clan.

Although the other party swore that he had a grudge against the Su I clan who ruled the Japanese state, Xue Rengui did not dare to believe it, but just asked Shi Shang Shou I to take them to the mine that produced silver, and drove out all the Japanese people hiding in the mountains, and then divided a thousand people to garrison, and then followed Shi Shang Shou I into the small city he occupied, there were many Shi Shang clansmen in the city, which made Xue Rengui believe in him a little.

The news of the landing of the Tang army from the Iwami area soon spread to the political center of the Wa Kingdom, Asuka Jo Gohara, the Wa Kingdom is different from other countries, every time they change a Wa king, they have to move the capital, but the relocation area is always in the Asuka area, so the political center has always been here, the current Wa King's name is Tamura, the number is Shu Ming, and the Wa people are arrogant, called by the emperor, so it is also called Shu Ming Emperor.

In the Emperor's Palace, Emperor Shu Ming knelt and sat in the hall, although he was only more than forty years, but his face was white and blue, looking extremely normal, and from time to time he let out a series of coughs, which made people sound like they were getting weaker.

"Minister Toyoura, the Tang army has landed in the Iwami area, how do you think we can resist?" After Emperor Shu Ming coughed for a while, he picked up the medicine bowl in front of him and drank a few sips, and his face was now an abnormal flush, and then he asked Su I Ezo on the right.

Su I Ezo is the leader of Su I's generation, then the Minister of the Wa Kingdom, Su I Ezo is his name, commonly known as the Minister of Fengura, although the Minister of the Su I clan and the Dalian name of the Monobe clan are different, but in fact, the essence is almost the same, they all control the military and political power of the Wa State, plus Emperor Shu Ming is the one who supported the throne of Su Izo, so he trusts him, no matter what happens, the first thing that Emperor Shu Ming thinks of is Su I Ezo.

Su I Ezo is nearly ten years older than Emperor Shu Ming, but he looks younger than Emperor Shu Ming, although his hair is a little gray, but his spirit is extremely vigorous, and his body is not very strong, even if he kneels and sits there, he is like a tiger that chooses people to eat.

Su I Ezo had already received the news that the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty was going to move troops against them, but according to his estimate, the Tang Dynasty was likely to land on Tsukushi Island, at most, it would capture the entire Tsukushi Island, and he would never dare to attack their Honshu Island, but he didn't expect the Tang army to land unexpectedly in the Iwami area, which made him feel a sense of surprise.

Su I Ezo heard Emperor Shu Ming's inquiry, but he didn't answer immediately, but looked at a nobleman in his thirties sitting opposite him and said, "The eldest brother king of Shanbei inherited his father's will, and he must also have some experience in the art of war, so I want to hear what the opinion of the eldest brother of Shanbei is?" ”

This is called the Yamabei eldest brother king by Soga Ezo The Japanese nobleman has an extraordinary background, his father is the famous Prince Shotoku in the history of the Wa country, originally the previous generation of Emperor Suiko died, designated the Yamabei eldest brother to inherit the throne, but Soga Ezo supported the current emperor Shu Ming, so it led to the failure of the Yamabei eldest brother to compete for the throne, but even so, with the foundation left by his father, the Yamabei eldest brother still has a large number of supporters in the Japanese country, and he also has a great say in court politics.

The eldest brother of the mountain back is obese, his skin is also very white, he looks white and tender, I only saw and heard Su I Ezo's question, although he hated the other party in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend, so he had to ponder for a while and said: "When we sent troops to help Baekje, this move must have angered the Tang Dynasty, especially His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty, and he would not let us go, originally according to common sense, even if the other party wants to retaliate, at most it will teach us a lesson, and Chikushi Island is undoubtedly an excellent target, which is not only close to Silla and Baekje, And there are not many troops, but now the other party has landed from Iwami, although there is still a considerable distance from Asuka, but it is already on the island of Honshu, which shows that Datang's ambition this time is not small! ”

Hearing the analysis of the eldest brother of the mountain, not only the other ministers of the Japanese kingdom nodded and praised, but even Suga Ezo also showed a look of approval, thinking that if there is indeed a father, there must be a son, even if the eldest brother of the mountain back is not as good as his father, but it is not far behind.

But then, Su I Ezo looked at the big brother of the mountain back but there was an extra layer of vigilance in his eyes, and even contained a trace of killing intent, he was the one who pulled the other party off the throne at the beginning, if the big brother of the mountain back was a mediocre person, it would be fine, but the talent shown by the other party made him look sideways, so for his own safety, he must not leave this hidden danger in the future.

The eldest brother of the mountain back did not find the killing intent in Su Izoyi's eyes, but after hearing the praise of the others, he sat down with a humble face, and Emperor Shu Ming spoke again at this time: "The analysis of the eldest brother of the mountain back is very reasonable, but since Tang Jun's plan this time is not small, how should we deal with it?" ”

As soon as Emperor Shu Ming's question came out, the ministers who were still talking to each other just now all closed their mouths, and sat there like Buddha statues one by one, everyone knew that the Tang Dynasty was powerful, and with their domestic troops, it would definitely not work hard, but if they didn't fight hard, they had no other way, so they could only keep their mouths shut.

In addition, the reason why they didn't speak actually had another meaning, that is, they wanted to see how Su I Ezo dealt with this matter, after all, the major military and political affairs in the country are now in the hands of Su I Ezo, and this matter was originally his business, so as long as it did not hurt the vital interests of the ministers, they would not be in the limelight.
