Chapter 728: The Unfinished War
The battle for Kyoto was full of twists and turns, but in the end, Kyoto was won, and His Majesty the Emperor saved his Kyoto and successfully defeated the rebels.
After reading the battle report in his hand, Li Wuchen sighed: "I really can't imagine that this war in Fusang will be so fierce, it is even more shocking than any of our Datang's conquests of neighboring countries." ”
As he spoke, Li Wuchen raised his head and looked at Lu Xiusi again, handed the battle report back to Lu Xiusi and said, "However, the war is not over yet, after all, Pei Yan has not yet appeared, and Zhuge Mo has also escaped, not to mention that the southern part of Fusang is not under your control." ”
Lu Xiusi smiled slightly, picked up the wine cup and took a sip of the wine in it, and then said: "It seems that Brother Li still refuses to admit defeat, do you think Pei Yan and Zhuge Mo can still turn the tables?"
"Of course, Master Pei is very powerful, even in Fusang, he is also known as one of the three major think tanks around the Second Sage, it can be said that except for Master Di, no one can be smarter than Master Pei, you are just taking the lead for a while. ”
Shuang'er hurriedly said, obviously she was very confident in Pei Yan, and felt that Pei Yan must have a follow-up plan, it was impossible for Lucius to defeat Pei Yan like this, and Pei Yan could not completely lose his combat effectiveness like this.
Regarding Shuang'er's thoughts, Lucius didn't refute them, but just said indifferently: "Then let's continue to wait and see, I think soon, there will be news from the south of Fuso." ”
Hearing Lu Xius say this, Li Wuchen was a little uneasy, he felt that since Lu Xiusi dared to say this, I am afraid that he really had something to arrange in the south of Fusang, if that was the case, I am afraid that Pei Yan and Zhuge Mo really did not have any chance of turning the tables.
After all, for Fuso, they were outsiders, and they did not gain the approval of the people of Fuso, let alone the support of Emperor Fuso.
Therefore, they are inherently less advantageous than Lucius, in the battle with Lucius. Naturally, they will fall into disadvantage, even if they are resourceful, but without the support of the right time, place and people, I am afraid there is no way to perfectly display their wisdom.
At present, the situation in Fuso is very clear, at least the north has become clear, and the north, including Kyoto, has completely fallen into the hands of the emperor, and the original book and the emperor's rule have been restored, and the emperor has become the only voice in the north now.
As for the daimyo who had heavy troops, including the great shogun Tokugawa Iehiko, they all had to think about the emperor's surrender. Acknowledging the Emperor's rule over them, and even surrendering their military power in exchange for the Emperor's complete trust in them.
However, the war in the south of Fuso has not subsided, and although the south has lost Kinoshita Hideyoshi's rule, the south has already lost the emperor's rule for many years, and it can be said that after the defeat of Kinoshita Hideyoshi's army, the south may return to its original state.
This is not a good thing for the emperor, but for Pei Yan and Zhuge Mo, who want to turn the tables, it is definitely a chance for them to make a comeback.
It can be said that if the two join forces. With just a new spokesperson, they were able to quickly unite the entire southern part of the country, and then move north again, posing a new threat to Kyoto and Edo.
This is also why Li Wuchen feels. The reason why the war in Fusang is still not over, because he also feels that Pei Yan and Zhuge Mo will definitely not admit defeat, and will definitely go to the south of Fusang to reconvene the army and attack the north again.
But Lucius was confident. In his opinion, he has an absolute advantage, even if Pei Yan and Zhuge Mo can get some support from the south, they will not have a chance to turn over.
Lucius and Li Wuchen were still drinking on the castle tower. The two continued to pay attention to the situation in Fuso, but to Lucius's surprise, the emperor did not take the opportunity to consolidate the results of the battle, and did not intend to send troops to the south of Fuso, but continued to carry out some rectification in Kyoto City.
This result made Lucius a little disappointed, feeling that the emperor had now regained power, and he was probably a little defensive of himself, and planned to dismantle and digest all his power while his power was not completely formed.
Li Wuchen was unusually happy about the emperor's actions, and he teased Lucius for several days: "Hahaha, Your Highness Lucius, it seems that your wishful thinking has failed, and that Fuso Emperor doesn't want to be controlled by you." ”
In the face of Li Wuchen's ridicule, Lu Xiusi responded disapprerovitically: "Don't worry, some things are not until the last moment, no one knows what the ending will be, in short, even if I and I manipulate Fusang, you Datang can't manipulate it either, and the two of us are just holding each other back now." ”
Li Wuchen's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he said with a bitter face: "Lucius, in fact, the two of us don't have to contain each other like this, you can let me go, so that you can also free your hands, first control that emperor, and then we will have a fair and honest duel, isn't this good? Why do you have to make both sides lose?"
"Hehe, it turns out that you like to fight in other people's countries? Don't you plan to put our duel on the land of your Datang, and you want to use the advantage of the home field to suppress me?"
Li Wuchen didn't expect Lucius to grasp this sentence, so he smiled again and said, "Okay, okay, can you not always hold on to one point like this? Things are changing, can't you change some of your own concepts? Hey, you're really a dead brain." ”
Lucius took a sip of the wine in the wine cup, looked at Li Wuchen and said, "We have been drinking here for more than a month, don't you know my character? ”
Hearing this, Li Wuchen was completely helpless, thinking that he was restrained by Lucius, and he drank wine with him in Edo City for more than a month, but he didn't do anything when he came to Fusang for more than a month.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt, the purpose of his trip was to put pressure on Fusang, forcing Fusang to compromise with the Tang Dynasty, so as to gain the power of the sea area of Fusang.
But now, he is trapped in Edo Castle by Lucius, and in addition to drinking and drinking every day, not only can he not interfere in the war of Fuso, but even the purpose of his trip has not made any progress so far, and he is simply wasting time.
Thinking of this, Li Wuchen couldn't help but complain a little in his heart about Pei Yan and Zhuge Mo: Those two guys are really waste, there is no way to defeat Emperor Fusang, and there is no way to capture even a Kyoto.
In fact, in this matter, Li Wuchen really blamed Pei Yan and Zhuge Mo, the plan formulated by Pei Yan was already perfect, and Zhuge Mo was specially sent to Kyoto City, just to use Zhuge Mo's machine beast to contain Lu Xiusius's mechanical corps, and give the army time and opportunity to conquer Kyoto City.
But what Pei Yan didn't expect was that Zhuge Mo's Mechanical Beast was actually no match for Lucius's Mechanical Corps, and in the formal battle, the Mechanical Beast could be described as a fiasco, that is, Zhuge Mo was almost captured by the Mechanical Corps.
The plan formulated by Pei Yan collapsed, and Pei Yan had to give up his plan to supervise the war, and chose to march to the south, deciding to go to the south to find an opportunity to rebuild a large army and turn the tables.
At this moment, Pei Yan has already contacted several powerful names in the south, but he has not yet found the most suitable person, which is also the reason why Pei Yan has not counterattacked for a long time.
Of course, Pei Yan is actually waiting for Zhuge Mo, waiting for Zhuge Mo to join him, with the mechanical beast in Zhuge Mo's hands, his strength will be stronger, so that he will have more confidence in his heart and lead the southern daimyo to counterattack the north.
However, after Zhuge Mo was rescued by the old scalper, his whereabouts were unknown, not only those who were tracking him could not find his whereabouts, but Pei Yan also did not know Zhuge Mo's whereabouts.
Pei Yan could only wait quietly in the south, waiting for Zhuge Mo to arrive and strengthen the forces in his hands.
It can be said that when Li Wuchen and Lu Xiusi were drinking all day, Pei Yan had almost finished everything he could do in the south, just waiting for Zhuge Mo to arrive.
Even Pei Yan used his strategy to let the daimyo who was accused by him gain most of the land in the south, and his military strength had reached a peak state, and he almost had the strength of the sixth or seventh layer of Kinoshita Hideyoshi before.
I have to say that Pei Yan is indeed a very resourceful guy, or a descendant of the King of Hearts, who is born with a strategic ability that ordinary people can't reach, and for them, wisdom and strategy are their most powerful weapons, which can be described as a plan to calm the world.
After waiting for more than a month, Pei Yan finally came to Zhuge Mo, the master of the organ who had been missing for more than half a month, and rode an old ox to find Pei Yan.
The first thing Zhuge Mo said when he saw Pei Yan was: "My organ beast has recovered, now we will immediately send troops to attack that Edo City directly, I must seek revenge from His Highness in the West." ”
Hearing Zhuge Mo's words, Pei Yan was immediately excited, laughed and said: "Hahaha, Mr. Zhuge don't worry, we can send troops here, as long as you are here, Edo City is in our bag, and now Emperor Fuso has begun to erect Lucius, he is now a lonely man guarding Edo City, we will definitely succeed in this trip." ”
On the same day, Pei Yan informed the southern daimyo, and then under the opening of the Zhuge Mo Trap Beast, he went straight to Edo City, and even the cities along the way They didn't deliberately attack, the purpose was to point directly at that Edo City.
After getting the news of the attack of the army, Li Wuchen was very happy, and teased Lucius: "Your Highness Lucius, it seems that you are a little dangerous, Pei Yan and Zhuge Mo are coming straight to Edo City like this, I'm afraid their target is you." ”
Lu Xius took a sip of his wine indifferently, looked at the smile on Li Wuchen's face on the other side, and responded calmly: "Brother Li, in fact, I have been waiting for them for a long time, but I didn't expect them to start getting sick for so long, which really disappointed me."
