Wakoku, fifty miles outside Asuka Castle in Kyoto.

An army of 6,000 people, all the way to the withering and decaying, is about to hit the capital, can you believe it?

Li Qinzai had to believe it, and at the same time he was very happy...

Whether it was luck or seizing the opportunity, Li Qinzai made a decision that happened to cater to the right time and place.

In the first battle of Baijiangkou, more than 40,000 people of the Japanese Kingdom were annihilated, and in the first battle of Xiaguan on the Japanese island, 20,000 enemies were annihilated, and the two major battles almost exhausted the warlike soldiers of the Japanese State.

The casualties paid by the 6,000 Tang troops are only more than 2,000 today, and Li Qinzai still has 4,000 brave men in his hands.

The two wars are all due to the power of the three-eyed gun.

Firearms appeared in this era when they should not have appeared, and the effect was shining.

Every encounter with the enemy is almost a crushing advance, and the enemy is crushed at the first touch, and there is no resistance in the face of firearms.

It was really too fragile, just like the pigtailed army in the previous life who relied on the bow and horse to ride and shoot tragically towards the guns of the European and American powers, they fell one after another, but after all, no one broke through the array of firearms.

The same was true when the Wa Kingdom fought against the Tang Army.

In fact, there is no shortage of generous people who die, when they raise their knives, they rush with a strange cry in their mouths, and then they fall unwillingly under the muzzle of the gun with a loud bang.

Li Qinzai had seen too many similar scenes these days, and he had become numb to it, but the Tang army still pushed forward with determination, without any mercy.

Yes, the enemy also has respectable men, but no matter how respectful they are, they must be killed. War and mercy cannot be tolerated in the first place.

When the Tang army advanced outside Asuka Castle in Kyoto, it meant that half of the entire territory of the Wa Kingdom had fallen into the hands of the Tang army, and the destruction of the country did not seem to be far away.

You can imagine what kind of chaotic scene there was in Flying Bird City at this moment, but after Li Qinzai and Cheng Boxian discussed, they decided to rest outside Flying Bird City.

After more than ten days of marching and fighting, the officers and men of the Tang Army were already very tired, and some of them were so tired that they could not move their legs.

Food, grass and water can be looted along the way, but physical strength requires plenty of rest to recover.

Even with the power of the three-eyed gun, Li Qinzai did not dare to rashly order the capture of Asuka City, and there must be a lot of resistance in the capital of the Wa Kingdom, and this battle should not be careless.

After the scouts were released, they chose a place near the water and the mountains to set up camp, and set up tents to make fires and make meals.

After many days of marching, Li Qinzai's face was also covered with dust and exhaustion, and his skin became much darker.

At this moment, he took a branch and roughly drew a map of the entire territory of the Japanese kingdom on the sand, and there were some numbers listed next to it, which were statistics on the number of soldiers killed in battle, surplus grain and grass, and loss of ordnance.

The groans of the wounded soldiers, the blood-stained knives, the camp tents that smelled of gunpowder everywhere, and the heroic laughter of the soldiers as they sat around the fire and roasted meat.

They don't seem to care about life and death, the living people all get together to figure out how many levels of beheading, how much Yongye land can be exchanged, whether the government will reward some more money, and if they go back alive, maybe they can grit their teeth and buy a cow, and it will be convenient to farm in the future.

On the brutal battlefield, they talked and laughed freely, and every word was a beautiful vision of life.

Li Qinzai listened quietly to their conversation with a smile on his face, and he suddenly realized that the Tang Army's invincibility in the world did not depend on the sword in his hand, but on the generous and enthusiastic spirit.

Slogans such as loyalty to the monarch and serving the country are too pale and hypocritical, and the vast majority of soldiers do not have such a high consciousness.

We fought bloodily against the enemy, and we attacked cities and plundered land, in order to accumulate family funds for our children and grandchildren, for this reason.

Before the land was annexed on a large scale by the magnates, the commoners and warriors poured their hopes for the future into their swords, so that their swords could be invincible.

Cheng Boxian hurriedly walked to Li Qinzai's side, squatted down and said softly: "The royal family of the Japanese Kingdom has sent a messenger, can you see it?" ”

Li Qinzai shook his head: "Let him go, before the Tang Dynasty soldiers have not been killed, they refuse all negotiations." ”

Cheng Boxian hesitated: "This time...... I'm afraid it's not good for him to get out. The envoy is the eldest son of the eldest brother of the regent, Prince Iga. ”

Li Qinzai frowned: "What big breasts?" How big are the breasts? Brother Shang Xian, I am a serious person. ”

"I'm also a serious person, people call it 'middle elder brother', it is the honorific title given to him by the imperial family of the Japanese kingdom, after the death of Emperor Huangji, this middle elder brother regent, may not be long before he ascends the throne. The messenger who came today was the eldest son of the eldest brother, Prince Iga. ”

Li Qinzai snorted coldly: "So what? The barbarian monkey also dares to call himself the emperor, I don't know how thick the sky is, do he have to see me when he comes to see me? ”

Cheng Boxian said: "Let's meet, our soldiers also need a time to rest and breathe, it should be a delaying strategy, and I will be beaten again when I have recovered my breath." ”

Li Qinzai sighed: "Okay...... I never thought that I would have to engage in team building and socialization in the war, and I vaguely felt that I had become a social animal. ”

Not long after, a young man in a wide-sleeved brocade robe with a hairstyle on his head like a thickened lightning rod walked quickly with small steps.

Walking in front of Li Qinzai, the young man bowed his head and bowed, and he knelt on the ground in a five-body manner, with a mouth and a stiff and strange Guanzhong dialect.

"Iga, the eldest son of the thirty-ninth emperor of the Yamato Kingdom, meet His Excellency the Major General of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Qinzai didn't know anything about diplomatic etiquette, and sneered when he heard this: "Don't put gold on your face, what Yamato country is, it's obviously a Japanese country." ”

"Also, the monarch of your country is called 'lord of the country', and he is not allowed to call him 'emperor' in the future, do you want to be shameless? The emperor of the Tang Dynasty is embarrassed to call himself the emperor, how cheeky do you dare to call yourself like this? ”

Prince Iga's face was cold when he heard this, but the army of the Tang State was pressing, and half of the country had been lost, so he had to swallow his anger and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency the Major General, forgive me, Iga is only a prince, and he has no right to change the title of emperor." ”

Li Qinzai smiled casually: "It doesn't matter if you don't change it, I will lead troops into your Kyoto, tie up your lord, and ask him face to face if he will change it." ”

Iga continued to endure and said respectfully: "Your Excellency the Young General, Your Excellency has come to your camp as an envoy of the Japanese Kingdom on the orders of your father, and wants to negotiate with Your Excellency the Major General, please allow me." ”

Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Tell me about your charter." ”

Prince Iga said: "My father said that I would like to offer 5,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 beautiful girls, in exchange for the Tang Dynasty's noble army to stop fighting and withdraw from the border of Yamato." ”

Li Qinzai said lightly: "Oh, go back and tell your father, I don't agree." ”

Prince Iga gritted his teeth and said patiently: "Your Excellency the Major General raised swords and soldiers to slaughter the subjects of my Yamato Country, and what he did was nothing more than wealth and beauty, my father gave it with both hands today, so as to save the casualties of the soldiers of our two countries, dare to ask His Excellency the Major General why he did not agree?" ”

"So to speak, I have raised up my sword and destroyed your kingdom, and I have killed all of you, and your gold, silver, and women are still mine. And I'm going to get more, get it? ”

Prince Iga exclaimed, "Your Excellency wants to destroy my Yamato Kingdom? ”

"You'd better take back your face as a victim, isn't it strange to destroy your country? Who started the war between you and me? Who was the first to raid my Datang Water Master? ”

"Now that Baijiangkou has been defeated and begged for peace, he has put on the appearance of a victim, sprinkling and rolling around, and you have all the truths in the world to take possession, thinking that the whole world is your father, and you have to get used to you?"
