Chapter 120: Persuasion
As he said this, a violent explosion of air rang out in the hall, and countless pieces of wood flew out.
"Shut Sugawara Michizane, do you know what you're talking about" Daigo smashed the table, got up angrily, and stared at Sugawara Michizane.
He almost thought that the other party was crazy to say such an inconsequential thing. How strong the Tang army was, how could he not know that he had sent Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty sixty years ago, and at that time, he had never heard that there was such an anti-heaven artifact in the Tang army
What's the matter now, Fujiwara Tadhei was defeated, the sailor was destroyed, Sugawara Michizane hasn't fought with the Tang army yet, just went to see the reality of the opponent's sailor, and he became like this
"Sugawara Michizhen asked you to preside over the battle, it was for you to repel the Tang army, not for you to tell me that the Tang army was invincible, what did you want to express these words, is the country already a dead end?"
Daigo's expression was fierce, trying his best to suppress his anger, and the evil in his eyes was already warning Sugawara Michizane that if the other party dared to say such things again, he would definitely not condone it.
However, Sugawara Michizan really didn't seem to see his eyes, and even affirmed the question that broke out under his anger, "Your Majesty, if the country starts a full-scale war with the Tang Dynasty army, I'm afraid there will really be no way out." The strength of the Tang army is even stronger than what Minister Zuo described, and we have to surrender this way, and only in this way can we protect the people."
As soon as these words came out, Sugawara Michizane flickered in front of his eyes, and then he felt a heavy blow to his chest, and at the same time that the whole person flew out upside down, blood spurted out of his mouth, and his mind was blank for a moment.
Falling to the ground hard, without waiting to get up, Sugawara Michizane saw Daigo's face distorted to the extreme, "Sugawara Michizane, you are looking for death and you want to commit treason"
At this time, there was a sharp pain in his chest, and cold sweat broke out on Sugawara Michizane's forehead, Daigo's hands were very heavy, and his sternum should have been broken, "Your Majesty, what the minister said is the truth, and it is to protect thousands of people across the country."
Before he finished his words, he was thrown out of the main hall by Daigo.
"Tokihei Fujiwara"
As he rolled down the steps, Sugawara Michizane heard Daigo's roar.
Daigo is now furious, everything in the hall has been smashed by him, and the eunuchs and palace maids who are serving have also been torn apart by him. He needed to vent his anger, he needed to act violently to dispel the fear that had risen in his heart.
Yes, fear.
Fujiwara Tadahei was defeated, and Sugawara Michizane's performance was even more unbearable, which made Daigo have to wonder if the Tang Army was really strong to this point
Whether this is true or not, he does not want to admit it, and he cannot admit it. If he wanted to see it clearly, he could have left Heiankyo to observe it himself. But he didn't want to go and couldn't go.
It's not that I'm afraid of danger, but I'm afraid that after I see the Tang Army, just like Sugawara Michizane, I will lose the will to fight in the face of clear facts
He can't lose the courage to fight, if he surrenders, he will be the king of the country, he will leave a lasting reputation, and he will lose all power in the future, how can this be done
"Fujiwara Tadahei was defeated, Fujiwara Tohei has seen the Tang Army sailors, and he still has the fighting spirit. It's good to have a fighting spirit, it's good to be able to preside over the battle No matter what, I will never admit defeat" Daigo suddenly felt lucky, "Fujiwara Shihei is still good, he is worthy of being a hero of the Fujiwara family, and he has to rely on him at a critical time"
Fujiwara Tokihei came to the front of the Taiji Hall and saw Sugawara Michizane, who was sitting under the steps in rags and a cloak, and his eyelids jumped. The other party's appearance is also too miserable, and his chest is sunken in a large lump, if it is not a real human realm, I am afraid that he will be dead.
Sugawara Michizane had saddened himself in front of Daigo before, and he also snatched his military power, and Fujiwara Tokihei was naturally gloating. However, he was thoughtful, and the first thought at the moment was, could it be that Sugawara Dao was really injured by the Tang army, and the battle situation of the army
"Brother Sugawara, what's wrong with you, how did you end up like this" Fujiwara stepped forward to talk without smiling, with a sneering look on his face.
Seeing Fujiwara Shihei, Sugawara Michizane no longer had the same anger in his eyes as before, but as if he saw a savior, he gritted his teeth and got up, rushed over and grabbed the other party's hand, "Brother Fujiwara, you came just in time, go and persuade Your Majesty, don't do stupid things, otherwise the country will be ruined, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has already said that he doesn't mind millions of corpses at all."
Fujiwara Tokihei wanted to taunt the other party for a few words and went to see Daigo, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked, "What are you talking about the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
"It is indeed the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have met him. Sugawara Michizane briefly told Fujiwara Tohei about going to the Lingnan Water Division, and finally blamed himself and remorseed, "I wronged you before, and I underestimated Tang Jun, but I didn't expect them to be so powerful."
"Brother Fujiwara, the responsibility for the defeat of the sailors before is definitely not on you, it is the Tang Army that is too strong
"What you don't know is that when the Tang Army was dealing with you, they didn't use all their strength at all, I went to see it, they have more than 800 magic weapon bed crossbows, tens of thousands of various magic weapons bows and crossbows, more than half of the monks among the soldiers, let alone 200,000 sailors, even if it is 300,000, they can't resist it at all."
Fujiwara Tokihei's face changed greatly, "What do you say, there are really so many more than 800 crossbows in the magic weapon bed?"
He had seen the power of the magic weapon bed crossbow, and the monks in the middle of Qi training were all able to snipe accurately, and there were more than eight hundred of them, how could they resist such a terrifying existence
This is not to blame Fujiwara Tokihei for being unexpected, after all, during the Battle of Tsushima Island, the Lingnan Sailor used his strong crossbow to exert his power, but he only broke Fujiwara Shio's part to lure the enemy, and when he really entered the bay water village and started killing, Fujiwara Tokihei had already run away.
"It's not just the magic weapon bed crossbow, the kind of magic weapon trebuchet that can shoot spirit stone fireballs, there are more than 100 in the Lingnan Naval Division, but when the magic weapon trebuchet is launched, the prestige is too great, and with the performance of a cruiser, it can't support more than ten magic weapon trebuchets to run at the same time. ”
Sugawara Michigan remembered the scene when he saw the rows of magic weapon trebuchets in the cabin that had not yet been assembled, and he felt palpitations, "So the rest of the magic weapon trebuchets were all installed in the warehouse by the Tang army, and they were used to attack the city and plunder the land after the soldiers landed."
Speaking of this, Sugawara Michizane really grabbed Fujiwara Shihei's hand, and his strength was unconsciously a little bigger, "Brother Fujiwara, such a Tang army, let you defend the city, can you hold it?"
Fujiwara Shihei's scalp was numb, and even the back of his hand was rudely grabbed by Sugawara Michizane, and he didn't notice it, and he gasped and said, "If the Tang Army really has so many magic weapons trebuchets, whatever city is still guarded, it will be destroyed by the other party."
Sugawara Michizane then asked, "Can you win the field battle?"
"Can't win" Fujiwara Tokihei looked up at the sky speechlessly, feeling utter despair. There are so many magic weapons and crossbows in the Tang army, and there are so many monks, any battle formation will be broken immediately if they meet them, and the numerical advantage is completely meaningless.
No matter how many people form a battle formation, as soon as the battle starts, the formation is torn apart, the front formation is broken through, and the soldiers retreat in panic with heavy casualties, they will be immediately defeated. If there are more people, more people will die by trampling on each other.
The numerical advantage only works when the battle formation can gain a firm foothold.
The city can't be defended, the battle can't be fought, what else can the Wa Kingdom do Fujiwara Tokihei realized this problem, and looked at Sugawara Michizane suspiciously, "Brother Sugawara, what do you mean by telling me this, what do you want me to persuade Your Majesty?"
"Isn't what I mean simply and clearly, Brother Fujiwara, you have to persuade Your Majesty to surrender?"
When Sugawara Michizane said the word "surrender", one of them couldn't hold back, and he burst into tears again, and his voice became sad and desolate, "The emperor of the Tang Dynasty has already conquered in person, and just looking at the strength of the monks of the Tang army, you can guess how powerful the other party is." If Your Majesty does not surrender, Heiankyo will be breached, and Your Majesty and all the Imperial Family will only be afraid that their lives will be lost, in which case, the Emperor's bloodline will be broken
"Not only that, but Heiankyo and even the people of the entire country will suffer a great disaster, and at that time, there will be millions of corpses, how can I, as ministers, watch such a situation appear"
Fujiwara Tokihei looked at Sugawara Michizane and was speechless for a long time.
If he hadn't fought with the Tang Army and seen the invincible combat power of the other party, he would even think that Sugawara Michizane, who said this, had already betrayed the country.
He gasped and said, "The emperor of the Tang Dynasty is really that powerful."
"A hundred times more powerful than you imagined" Sugawara Michizane recalled the scene of his meeting with Li Ye, and felt his heartbeat disordered. In particular, the other party's assertion of what is the principle of heaven fully demonstrates the domineering of a big country, so that he has no courage to look at it directly.
Such a decisive and extremely strong emperor, what is the difference between him and God in this world
Any of his will will will be absolutely carried out by the most invincible army in the world, and those who dare to disobey his will will will inevitably be wiped out immediately. The so-called "follow the law" is nothing more than that
"Brother Fujiwara, please don't hesitate any longer, we don't have time, think about it, the Fujiwara family is the most prominent nobleman in the country, once the Tang army breaks through Heianjing, what will happen when the time comes, do you want me to say more?"
Sugawara Michizane eagerly pushed to the end, "For the sake of the emperor's bloodline, for the millions of people in Heiankyo to live, and for the sake of giving birth to us and raising our land so that it does not become a scorched earth, please Fujiwara brother fulfill his duties as a minister and stop this impending and meaningless war."
When Fujiwara Tokihei heard this, he finally paid attention, "Okay, I'll go and persuade Your Majesty"
When Daigo saw Fujiwara Tokihei coming in, his heart settled a little, he straightened his clothes, collected his expression, and restored his royal prestige. He is still the master of this country, and he still has to control the power of this country, so he should have a respectable appearance.
"Fujiwara, I have thought about it again and again, and I think that it is most appropriate for you to preside over the war, and the country also needs the Fujiwara family to work hard. Fujiwara, you told me before that you are willing to fight to defend your homeland, so now, let me see your determination."
Daigo said calmly.
Fujiwara Tokihei was respectful, graceful, and did not panic at all, which made Daigo very satisfied. But what Fujiwara Tokihei said made him feel that the sky had collapsed all of a sudden.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are here, not to ask for war, but to ask Your Majesty to surrender. The Tang Dynasty was too powerful to have no chance of winning a battle with them, so there was no point in fighting like this. Please Your Majesty take the common people of the country as your mind, eliminate the soldiers in time, and surrender to the Tang Dynasty"
Fujiwara Tokihei was respectful, but his words were categorical, showing a firm will.
Daigo's body shook, and he felt the world spin. He couldn't believe that this was what Fujiwara Tokihei would say, this was different from what he thought, didn't the other party still bent on fighting a few days ago, why did he suddenly say that he wanted to surrender now
No, this is not true, I don't believe that they are all my humerus ministers, they are very talented, they are full of wisdom on weekdays, and no military and political affairs can make it difficult for them, and now that the Tang army has not landed, they have to surrender anyway
What's wrong, what's wrong
"I, I don't believe it" Daigo spurted out a mouthful of blood from the sky, his body shook, and his hands scratched left and right, trying to find an object that could be held, or be held by the eunuch. But all the objects in the palace were destroyed by him, and the eunuchs and palace maids became corpses, so what else could he support
Daigo fell helplessly to the ground.
Sugawara Michizane, who was sitting at the foot of the steps outside the hall and refused to leave for a long time, suddenly heard a hoarse, desperate and miserable shout from the hall, and the sound was so loud that it spread far and wide.
He shouted "Father"
