Chapter 620: The cavalry enters the city
At the same time, the Dongying Imperial City was in the forbidden palace.
Toshio Kamitake stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the window with solemn eyes. He was in a very nervous mood, even more nervous than he had been in the most critical battle with Lady Long Ji many years ago. Although the form of the year was also in crisis, even if he was defeated in that battle, Toshio Kamimu's life was not in danger.
But today is different, the fate of the entire Shenwu clan has been completely controlled by Li Hao, if this plan fails, Shenwu Junfu will definitely become a laughing stock for future generations.
"Mr. Abe, the Linghui Army now has the upper hand, and it only takes two more months to spend with us, and our clan will definitely collapse without a fight, will King Zhen'an really be invited?"
Abe Qingri sat aside and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor, please rest assured, Li Hao is pretentious and thinks very highly of himself, and it is impossible to damage his morale at the most critical time and not come to meet!" ”
"How so?"
"Your Majesty, although our army is at a disadvantage, how much better can the Linghui Army be than us? The Tang Dynasty and the Li Kingdom fought for many years, especially more than half a year ago, and they went on their own expeditions to the north, losing their troops and greatly hurting their vitality. If it weren't for the unfavorable battle at sea in Uesugi Onimai, it would have been impossible for their army to reach Toei and fight to Nara Castle. ”
"The reason why our army is at a disadvantage is that 100,000 elite soldiers at sea were defeated in a battle, and the soldiers were afraid of the Linghui army. Uesugi Onimai and Taketori Sayo betrayed one after another, and openly rebelled in the name of Mrs. Ryuhime, leaving my military division unknown and at a disadvantage. If you exclude these two points, does Your Majesty think that our army really has no strength to fight with the enemy? ”
When Toshio Kamitake heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The defeat of Nara Castle was because Li Hao's public opinion offensive made Toshio Shenmu lose his mind, wantonly killing officials and people, causing panic in the hearts of the people, which led to civil strife. But even if things come to this point, in the Imperial City of Kyoto, Toshio Shenmu still has 100,000 elite soldiers guarding the Imperial City.
In Li Hao's hands, in addition to the 100,000 troops of the Tang Regiment Army and the Linghui Army, there were only tens of thousands of troops who had newly surrendered to Taketori Xiaoye. It can be described as a mixed bag, embarrassing and embarrassing. If it weren't for the previous battle, the momentum of the Dongying army was wiped out, and relying on the walls of the imperial city to defend it, it would not necessarily lose.
Abe Haruchi continued: "It seems that Your Majesty also understands the stakes, the Linghui Army and the Tang Heavenly Army are the main local forces. But they had just experienced a big war, and they were already physically and mentally exhausted, and now they had crossed the ocean to conquer the land of Dongying, and their strength was even less sufficient. Don't look at him

They are now extremely brave and sharp, but Li Hao also understands that if this army is accidentally defeated, the advantages accumulated before will be wiped out. The exhaustion of their battles over the years will also erupt like a chain reaction, and they will completely lose their combat effectiveness. ”
"Once the main force of the army is exhausted, the rabble in Taketori Koyo's hands will also be scattered, completely abandon Taketori Koyo, and return to our command. Therefore, since landing in Dongying, whether it is the Linghui Army or the Tang Heavenly Army, Li Hao has not let them fight a hard battle. It was all thanks to the morale accumulated in the naval battle that it was fought until now. ”
"I see what the gentleman means! The battle of the Imperial City is much more difficult than the previous battle, and Li Hao is not completely sure that he can take it in one fell swoop, and the main force of the enemy army can't withstand a defeat, so in order to be complete, he will definitely come to the Imperial City tomorrow to meet us! ”
"Your Majesty is wise! That's what the minister thinks! ”
Having said this, Toshio Shenwu's hanging heart finally put it into his stomach, and he bowed to Abe Qingri: "The future of the Shenwu clan depends on Mr.!" ”
Abe was flattered and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The Abe family has been loyal to the Shenwu clan for generations, and they will not swerve until death, and the micro-ministers will go to the soup to fight the fire, and they will also protect the safety of the Shenwu lineage!" ”
——
The next day, the gate of the Linghui military camp was opened, and Li Hao rode a sweaty dragon horse, with twenty-four falcon warriors and more than a thousand Linghui cavalry, and set off towards the imperial city of Kyoto. After all, he is the king of a country, no matter how bold Li Hao is, he dares to go to the meeting to participate in this Hongmen banquet alone, but he must not lose the pomp, he represents the face of the Li Kingdom.
The army did not sit idle, and immediately pulled out its camp and moved forward, and did not stop until it was outside the city.
Craftsmen set up siege equipment such as catapults, and hundreds of thousands of troops lined up to march in front of the city gates. The strong wind blows, and the flag with the spirit character flutters in the wind, making the sound of hunting. The so-called actions of the army, but that reality alone is enough to make the people in the city tremble.
At this time, the gate of Kyoto City was opened, and dozens of Dongying officials stood neatly inside the city gate, and the moment they saw Li Hao, they immediately bowed and saluted, with a sincere and respectful attitude, without the slightest arrogance on weekdays.
"The ministers meet the prince of Zhen'an! Welcome to the Holy Cross of the Prince! ”
Looking at the Dongying officials kneeling together, Li Hao sneered: "There are really a lot of officials in Dongying who use our Central Plains language!" Did you learn it all when you burned, killed, and looted? ”
This teased and said
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
A group of people were red-faced, but no one dared to talk.
Li Hao didn't bother to pay attention to them, shook the reins, and rode his horse in.
"Take me to your emperor!"
"Yes, Lord Wang, please come here!"
A group of officials hurriedly stood up and respectfully led the way for Li Hao.
In the imperial city, the people of Dongying were on both sides of the road, their faces were full of fear, and they didn't dare to look at Li Hao with their eyes.
This is the rear of the Dongying battlefield, and presumably their image in their hearts is not much better.
Soon, Li Hao followed a group of Dongying officials to the imperial city.
But after entering the imperial city, the officials did not take Li Hao to Dongying's meeting hall, but went to the side palace meeting room.
Compared with the grandeur of the Emperor's Palace, the side palace is much simpler, full of low buildings, and Japanese-style buildings abound, exactly the same as Li Hao's impression.
At this time, an official opened the door of a building, bowed down and said, "Lord, His Majesty the Emperor is in the palace, please come into the house for a while." ”
Li Hao sneered, raised his right hand and waved.
More than 1,000 Linghui cavalry immediately dismounted and scattered, surrounding the entire house.
After searching and confirming that there were no ambushes here, Li Hao turned over and dismounted. With twenty-four falcon warriors, he walked towards the house.
"Lord, His Majesty the Emperor said that there is something to discuss with the prince, and your subordinates ......"
"Are you qualified to tell me the terms now?"
Without waiting for the official to finish speaking, Li Hao squinted, and a majestic dragon aura burst out, and the power of Huanghuang Tianwei was irreversible.
The official was sweating profusely and hurriedly stopped his mouth.
Li Hao snorted and walked in with someone.
This room occupies a large area, and it passes through several doors in a row before entering the reception hall.
The empty room was covered with tatami mats, and a man in a kimono kneeling in the middle of the room appeared in everyone's sight, none other than Toshio Kamitake, the current emperor of Toei.
"Emperor Dongying Shenwu, I have seen the monarch of the Li Kingdom, Lord Li Hao, the king of Zhen'an!"
Toshio Kamitake respectfully possessed his body and had a modest attitude, not at all like the man who killed innocents indiscriminately in Nara Castle in the first place.
Li Hao wondered in his heart, how long has it been, this guy has regained his composure, could it be that today's banquet is really fraudulent?
