The Tang army lost the battle, and although the Japanese people did not dare to celebrate it openly, the news was undoubtedly very exciting for them.

It can be seen that the invincible Tang Army in the world is actually not invincible, but it has not found a way before.

This time, in the face of the alliance of more than 20,000 people, won't it be defeated?

Although the process is unknown and incredible, the result will not be deceiving, in short, the Tang army was defeated, and the Japanese kingdom that had fallen finally saw the dawn.

And the reason for the defeat of the Tang army has gradually been revealed.

It was mainly due to the light enemy of Wang Fangyi, the general of the Tang Army, and the delay of military aircraft. was not familiar with the local geographical environment, and Wang Fangyi rashly decided to divide his troops and attack him.

However, after launching a surprise attack, another army of soldiers and horses got lost in the mountains and forests, resulting in a counterattack by the Japanese alliance army when the war was urgent, and the Tang army in the main attack direction could not bear the pressure and had to retreat to protect itself.

It is said that when the news of the defeat reached the Tang army camp outside Flying Bird City, Li Qinzai, the commander of the Tang army, was furious when he heard the news, and he did not know how many cups and saucers were broken in the marshal's tent.

Shocked and furious, Li Xiangong also made a severe punishment to Wang Fangyi, ordered to punish twenty military sticks, and played the Son of Heaven, demoted and reduced his salary, and led his troops to rest on the spot to restore the morale of the army.

This news was also spread, and the subjects inside and outside Asuka City heard about it, so the news of the defeat of the Tang army was finally confirmed.

Needless to say, the excitement of the subjects was even more exciting than the leaders of the alliance army.

A rabble somehow won a battle, and the leaders couldn't help but suspect that their ancestral grave was not only smoking, but even on fire.

Is it a gift from nature that you were caught off guard?

Although it is not clear why the defeat of the Don army is not very clear, the confidence of the leaders skyrocketed and even began to swell.

The Tang army is not enough, and I will kill the Tang army like a dog.

The confident leader immediately decided to march towards Asuka City.

I heard that there are only more than 3,000 Tang troops stationed in Flying Bird City, and the commander of the Tang Army, Li Qinzai, is also there.

So more than 20,000 people in the alliance rushed towards Bird City under the leadership of the leader.

…………

Asuka Castle Palace.

The eldest brother walked out of the dormitory, first set up the incense case, knelt down respectfully in the direction of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, bowed three times and bowed nine times and wished the Tang Dynasty Sect Master Li Zhi a long life and rode a hundred women at night, and then the eldest brother got up slowly.

After the remote wishes, the eldest brother has to eat as usual, and after the meal is a walk, in the past few years of house arrest, the middle brother repeats the monotonous and boring life every day.

In anyone's eyes, the eldest brother behaved very deferentially, he seemed to have already accepted his fate, in order to survive, he was willing to use all postures to meet and kneel and lick the Tang Dynasty.

Even in order to let the Tang Dynasty recognize the legitimacy of the royal family, he did not hesitate to let his daughter seduce Li Qinzai, conceive his child, and later become the prince of the Japanese Kingdom, in exchange for Li Qinzai's support, so that the royal family can be forever for generations.

The eldest brother is obviously subdued by the military authority of the Tang Dynasty, even if there are occasional small calculations, it will not harm the interests of the Tang Dynasty, but it is just for the descendants of the royal family to seek the foundation of the world.

Such a person has been trained by Datang to be tame and cute like an Akita dog, if someone says that he has ill intentions towards Datang, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

A lord who has been under house arrest for many years and whose power has been completely hollowed out, he can't even get out of the palace gate, what else can he do to harm the interests of the Tang Dynasty?

The palace occupies a large area, and the eldest brother waved off the palace entourage and walked alone in the lonely and vast garden.

Before the Battle of Baekgang Estuary, the Wa Kingdom was so beautiful that the Japanese royal family at that time reached its peak of prestige and prestige in the country, and even Baekje Silla and Baekje Silla had to send envoys frequently to make friends with the Wa Kingdom.

In those years, the palace was full of people, and the lords and courtiers often met in the palace, enjoying the flowers in the garden, playing chess in the water pavilion, and boating on the lake......

The territory of the Wa Kingdom is not as vast as that of the Tang Dynasty, but the Wa State inherited the culture of the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty and had a strong military force.

However, after the defeat in the Battle of the White River Estuary, everything changed.

In a naval battle, the naval division accumulated by the Wa State for many years was wiped out, and not only that, but the Tang Dynasty, as the enemy, brazenly sent troops to land on Wa Island in order to take revenge.

Under that kind of magical firearms, more than 6,000 soldiers actually wiped out the whole country's army, and finally hit the capital, occupied the palace, and the king's ministers had to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

The vicissitudes of life, the times are changing, too fast, the eldest brother has not woken up from the prosperous dream, but when he opens his eyes, he is already full of devastation, and the people are not happy.

The country was poor and weak, and the power and wealth he cared about most gradually left him, and even the most basic freedoms were lost.

The outcome of a war can change the lives of countless people, including the lord of the country.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was once the most glamorous Emperor and the Son of Heaven at sunrise, is now a prisoner, and he has to put on a smiling face to meet the enemies who invade and occupy his land.

Who can understand this feeling of humiliation?

At the end of the deserted garden, there was a remote corner with a lot of rubble piled up.

It was many years ago when the Wa Kingdom was still beautiful, and the eldest brother planned to repair some of the materials for the palace, and then the land fell, of course, the palace did not need to be repaired, and these materials were exposed to the wind and sun, and they have been piled up here.

The eldest brother walked to the rubble, a figure flashed in the shade of the rubble, and a middle-aged man wearing a palace uniform walked out.

"Your Majesty, you have suffered." The middle-aged man knelt in front of the middle brother and wept silently.

The eldest brother's face was cold, and he said in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, the palace is full of Tang people's eyeliner." ”

The middle-aged man nodded and wiped away a handful of tears.

"I heard that the Tang Army fought in the north and was defeated?" The eldest brother asked in a low voice.

"Yes, the minister sent someone to visit on the spot, and it was indeed defeated, Wang Fangyi, the general of the Tang Army, led the army to retreat fifty miles, and was severely reprimanded by Li Qinzai, and ordered twenty military sticks, demoted, Wang Fangyi returned to the Tang Dynasty It is said that there are more severe punishments waiting for him......"

The eldest brother frowned, and said uneasily: "Really defeated?" It can't be a trap for the Tang people, right? ”

"It's really defeated, the news is correct."

The eldest brother was silent for a long time, and suddenly showed a smile: "The Tang people are not invincible, how can there be any invincible army in the world, heh!" ”

The middle-aged man said worriedly: "The alliance force that defeated the Tang Army, with more than 20,000 people, is heading towards Flying Bird City, looking at their posture, it seems that they are going to attack Flying Bird City......

The eldest brother was unmoved, and said lightly: "There are still three thousand Tang troops stationed in Flying Bird City, and it is not so easy to defeat them. ”

"Aren't you worried, Your Majesty? That alliance force is all rebellious thieves, if you really capture Bird City, your safety is ...... king"

The eldest brother smiled and said, "So what? Even if they capture Asuka Castle, I will still be the lord of the Wa Kingdom, and if I can capture Li Qinzai alive and drive the Tang army out of the island, then I will be His Majesty the Emperor of Yamato Province! The former glory of Yamato Province, I will revive it. ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a while, and finally understood something, and said in a lost voice: "That alliance force turned out to be ......"

"Shut up!" The eldest brother scolded coldly and said, "Top secret matters, don't publicize them!" Do you think I'm a piece of waste who can't do anything in the palace under house arrest? Do you think that after many years of being the lord of the country, I don't have any power in my hands? ”

"Why should I ask the Tang Army to purge the traitors? Why do you want to set the whole country in turmoil? Why did the Tang army mobilize troops and horses, divide troops between the north and the south, but only 3,000 Tang troops were left in the capital? Why did the forces in the north suddenly ally unite? The smug look on the eldest brother's face was too lazy to hide at the moment.

The middle-aged man suddenly became more and more convinced by the middle brother, and couldn't help but kneel in front of him.

"The king is strategizing, and the ministers are very impressed!"

The eldest brother slowly breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "After many years of dormancy, it is time for the situation in the Wa Kingdom to change, do they really think that I have become a waste?" Hehe, haha! Lie down and taste the guts, God will give it! Now, it is time to wait for the God-given opportunity for me to restore the country and revitalize the royal family! ”

The middle-aged man said excitedly: "If that alliance army captures Bird City and captures Li Qinzai alive, will the Tang army evacuate from the island?" ”

The eldest brother shook his head: "Li Qinzai is not important, and it doesn't matter whether the Tang army evacuates or not......"

"So what's important?"

"The Tang Army's ability to be invincible in the world is the most important, if I take it, not only on this island, I should ask how important the Haidong Peninsula is!" The eyes of the eldest brother were burning, it was the fire of ambition and power.
