Chapter 28: Chapter 5: Princess Doro (6)
"How?" the Emperor asked.
"With all due respect. Kong Fangdao.
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. The Emperor said.
"First, he sent Ieyasu to the West and canonized him as emperor. Kong Fangdao.
"Ieyasu is a guilty man, and his crimes deserve to be punished. Qi Guanyan said.
"Since Emperor Tenmu returned to the west, Silkworm Island has become a borderless land, and it has been fighting each other for hundreds of years. This time, the great prince of Yamato was ambushed, and Emperor Tenmu only had one son left, Ieyasu, and only Ieyasu was the emperor who could command Silkworm Island. Kong Fangdao.
"It's just that Ieyasu has been away from Silkworm Island for too long. The Emperor said.
"As long as he is the son of Emperor Tenmu, it is enough," Kong Fang said with a smile, "Once Ieyasu is proclaimed emperor in the West, the Western daimyo will have the banner to expand to the south and the north. As long as the Western daimyo move, the siege of Lion Rock can be solved. ”
"Kong Lao has a clever plan. Qi Guanyan praised.
"The southern daimyo are ambitious, and they have long had the ambition to dominate Silkworm Island. Once it was learned that Ieyasu had arrived in the West to become emperor, he would inevitably obstruct it. And the north is the direct line of Emperor Tenmu, and he will inevitably not accept it. In this way, Yamato will be in chaos. Kong Fang continued.
"What about the second one?" the Emperor asked.
"The second is that His Majesty decreed that Ieyasu would be justified. Kong Fangdao.
"That's good, but you should let that Kang come and plead with me. What about the third?" asked the Emperor.
"I would like to be Ieyasu's envoy," Kong Fang continued, "and the third is to block the news of Prince Yamato's ambush." Dispatch the army to Lion Rock, join Qi Wei, and be sure to exterminate the northern daimyo army. ”
"Why is this?" Qi Guanyan said, "According to what Elder Kong said, as long as Ieyasu arrives in the West and becomes emperor, Yamato will definitely be in chaos and retreat without a fight, and the siege of Lion Rock can be solved." Why do you need to use soldiers?"
"The elders of the country don't know," Kong Fang said, "The northern daimyo are brave and good at fighting, and they are the backbone of the Yamato army, and if they are defeated, the combat effectiveness of the Yamato clan will no longer exist." This time, they poured out of their nests to garrison the west side of Lion Mountain, which was really a god-given opportunity for annihilation. If they are let go this time, it will be a big trouble for the Celestial Empire in the future, and Ieyasu will also be aborted in the West. ”
"As Old Kong said," Qi Guanyan said, "the southern daimyo have long had ambitions to dominate Silkworm Island, and presumably their strength is not on par with the northern daimyos, but they also dare not underestimate it. Looking at the battle of encirclement and suppression of birds of prey and beasts, the orcs are bloodthirsty and extremely ferocious. Even if the Celestial Empire used the strength of the whole country to annihilate the main force of the Northern Daimyo Army, it would surely be a defeat for both sides. What if the southern daimyo took advantage of the situation?"
"The elders of the country have a lot of concerns," Kong Fang said with a wave of his hand, "After completely annihilating the main army of the northern daimyos, Ieyasu will be proclaimed emperor in the West." The place where the Western daimyo are located can be described as a barren land in the barren. When Ieyasu becomes emperor, the Western daimyo will not waste such an excellent opportunity, and they will coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to launch a war to unify Silkworm Island in order to achieve the goal of expanding their own power. The first target of this attack was the old imperial family, the northern daimyos. At this time, the northern daimyo have been severely injured by me, and they will definitely turn to the southern daimyo for help. As for how the southern daimyo chosen, we don't need to know. We just need to know that they won't march into the Celestial Empire. ”
"How could Kong Lao get lucky and let the great names of the south not take advantage of the situation?" Qi Guanyan wondered.
"If the southern daimyo ventured into the Celestial Empire, it would be tantamount to giving up their ancestral business to the Western daimyos, not to mention that the result of entering the Celestial Empire was unknown to the southern daimyos. As far as I can see, the southern daimyo should sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and Taoguang should be obscure. As for which side to favor, when the time is ripe, it may even reap the benefits in order to achieve its ambition of hegemony and even unification of Silkworm Island. The Emperor said.
"Holy Wisdom!" Kong Fang said.
"I see. Qi Guanyan said.
"Just how do you get Ieyasu to gain the support of the Western daimyos?" the emperor asked.
The old minister just said that the place where the Western daimyo lived was hit by typhoons all the year round and was plagued by seawater inflow, which can be described as a barren land. Kong Fang turned to a smile and said, "Lao Chen Jian took out a part of the inner money and temporarily stored it in the Western Daimyo. ”
"This matter must not be done, how can the royal family be reckless?" Qi Guanyan said hurriedly.
"If such a large sum of money were to be withdrawn from the treasury, it would be alarming. Anyway, it will be transferred from the internal funds. The Emperor then laughed, "It's just that it should be three times as long when it is returned." ”
"Mo Dao three times," Kong Fang said with a smile as he stacked his two index fingers together, "It should be returned ten times!"
