These words, like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, hit Sugawara Michizane hard.
For some reason, he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, couldn't stand on his feet anymore, and knelt down on the ground. Tears welled up in his eyes, and his face was full of sadness and sadness, as if his parents had died and he had seen his homeland destroyed.
Michizane Sugawara now finally understands why the Battle of Silla ended so quickly. The Tang army with such outstanding military equipment is simply invincible! The most important thing is that for a behemoth like the Tang Dynasty, as long as the emperor is wise and powerful, he can think without problems, and it is difficult to think that he is not powerful and incomparable.
And the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly the hero of a generation.
Just looking at the many advanced magic weapons that appeared in the Tang army, one can get a glimpse of the great talents of the Tang emperor.
Just looking at the current number of monks in the Tang army, one can get a glimpse of the great mind of the Tang emperor.
Just by looking at the speech and behavior of generals like Yang Xingmi in the Tang army, one can get a glimpse of the personality charm of the Tang emperor.
Just by looking at Tang Jun's current battles in all directions, one can get a glimpse of the grand ambitions of the Tang Emperor!
Michizane Sugawara asked himself, how can the country defeat such an opponent
He couldn't find the answer, so he vomited blood in grief and despair.
Yang Xingmi saw Sugawara Michizane finally "kneeling in submission" and vomited a mouthful of blood to prove his "sincerity", with a smug smile on his face.
At this time, Yang Xingmi felt that the time to show off his power was almost ready, so he looked down at Sugawara Michizane, who was in a state of dismay, and said in a benevolent tone: "You are lucky, your majesty is on the boat now, what is rare is that your majesty is willing to lower Long En and give you An opportunity to meet. Sugawara Michizane, can you still stand up? To see His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, there is a minimum requirement of manners."
Sugawara Michizane heard this, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, stood up in great surprise, "Da, is His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty here? If Sugawara Michizane is lucky enough to meet you, it will be a great honor for three lives." !"
...
Li Ye threw the bait in his hand into the air, watched the seagulls flapping their wings and scrambling for food, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, he clapped his hands, and turned to look at the old man kneeling on the deck, "You are Michizane Sugawara? That’s right, it does have a bit of Confucianism.”
Sugawara Michizane didn't dare to raise his head. Facing the emperor of the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty, even if Li Ye didn't release the coercion of his cultivation, he still felt the sky hang down to the top of his head, and every pore in his body was trembling, "My lord, no Dare to be praised by His Majesty... I am very happy to be summoned by His Majesty."
There is nothing wrong with him calling himself a "subject". In an equal country, officials would call themselves so when they saw the emperor of the other country, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty had always been the object of learning from the Wa Kingdom.
Seeing that Sugawara Michizane was extremely restrained, Li Ye naturally understood why, but he didn't say anything to comfort the other party.
Before that, out of curiosity, he wanted to see what the so-called "God of Learning" and "one of the Four Great Wraiths" in the Japanese country looked like. When he really met, he found that the other party was just an ordinary person.
At most, it is more elegant.
However, right now, maybe because of the deep fear in his heart, the manner of this learned person has also weakened a lot, which really made Li Ye unable to arouse his interest in looking high. In comparison, Datang has a lot of people with superior temperament than him.
Sugawara Michizane has a great reputation in Japan, but in fact he is just a general among dwarfs.
At least in this day and age.
Li Ye, who lost his interest, also lost the intention of greeting Sugawara Michizane, and said indifferently: "Sugawara Michizane, you have seen how my army is, and you must be able to see it clearly. I heard that you are now the main battle of the Wa Kingdom. Minister, I ask you, do you think the Wa country can stop my army?"
Michizane Sugawara opened his mouth, wanting to say some tough words, but in the face of the huge gap in absolute strength, any dead duck with a tough mouth is just humiliating himself. Michizane Sugawara also didn't want to annoy the Great Tang Lord in front of him, and bring serious disaster to Wa Kingdom.
He answered with difficulty: "The army of the Tang Dynasty is unparalleled in the world. We cannot stop it, but we are willing to..."
"Willing to fight to the death?" Li Ye said, "Is that useful?"
Sugawara Michizane was speechless.
It is indeed useless. He couldn't even slow Tang Jun's pace. No matter how many lives were lost, they could not withstand the bombardment of the Tang army's magical weapons. If the Wa kingdom fought to the death, the result would be that Ping'an capital fell a few days later, and it would not be too late.
Sugawara Michizane's face was bleak: "Can we negotiate a peace?"
"No." Li Ye turned around and continued to admire the heroic appearance of the seagulls. In his eyes, this was more meaningful than looking at Sugawara Michizane.
"Confess minister, pay tribute, can you?" Michizane Sugawara said in a sad voice, still working hard.
"No." Li Ye's tone was unquestionable and there was no room for negotiation.
"Ceding the land, is it possible?"
This time, Li Ye wasn't even interested in answering.
Michizane Sugawara felt grief, indignation, and helplessness: "Is it true that His Majesty must destroy our country?!"
Negotiating peace, paying tribute, and ceding land will not work. The next thing is to surrender. Surrendering in the current situation, the country must not be preserved, and the Tang army will completely occupy this land.
"If I want to unify the country, the Japanese country will naturally have to perish." Li Ye said lightly.
Sugawara Michizane could no longer control himself, and he didn't know where the courage came from. He stood up straight and looked at Li Ye, spit and complained: "I ask myself, the country has always treated Datang with respect, and has never acted disobediently. Why? The Tang Dynasty suddenly came to attack?! Why did the Tang Dynasty have to destroy our country?!
"Right now, the Tang army has wiped out my 200,000 sailors, 200,000 soldiers, and all of them will be crowned in one day and night. The sea will change color, and the sky will mourn for it. The people of Amaterasu have increased by hundreds of thousands at once. Orphans and widows, this is a human tragedy!
"The Tang Dynasty is rich and the army is strong. I dare not refuse to accept it. However, the Tang Dynasty started a war for no reason, invaded the territory of other countries, and slaughtered the people of other countries. What is the reason? Your Majesty is a wise king. The name of benevolence and righteousness has spread far and wide, but this time he insists on invading our country. , let the soldiers of the two armies suffer countless casualties, and let the common people live in peace, what is the law of heaven?!"
These words are impassioned, righteous, and full of momentum, fully expressing the grief, indignation and powerlessness of a minister of a small and weak country in the face of national crisis.
The two entourages behind Michizane Sugawara, including the disguised general, also looked as if they had suffered great injustice and humiliation, and were so angry that they wanted to fight desperately.
"Bold! Your Majesty, how dare you speak so loudly in front of you? You can't find death?!" Yang Xingmi's eyes sank, he took a step forward with his knife, and raised his hand to scold him. Looking at his cold-eyed, murderous look, it seemed that he would draw his sword out of its sheath and chop these people in half.
Li Ye turned around and waved his hands, signaling Yang Xingmi to be calm and calm, looked at the excited Sugawara Michizane, and smiled: "Tianli? Okay, since you asked about Tianli, I will teach you today what is Tianli.
"When the strong wind blows over the hills, the grasses will lie low. This is called the law of heaven."
"The fire starts a prairie fire, the mountains and forests are reduced to ashes, and the good fields are reduced to scorched earth. This is called the law of heaven."
"Big waves are raging, thousands of sails are broken, and thousands of people sink into the sea. This is called the law of heaven."
"When a big star falls, the earth shakes and the mountains shake, people die, cities annihilate, and civilization dies. This is the law of heaven."
"The law of heaven? The law of heaven is the sky in the eyes of the weak, and the sword in the hands of the strong. The law of heaven is that my Tang Dynasty is stronger than the world, and the army of the Tang Dynasty can conquer all countries and expand thousands of miles! The law of heaven is that your country is weak and small. Your army can only be reduced to the military exploits of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and become a proof of our strength; your country can only be defeated and become another achievement left in our history!
"When the Son of Heaven got angry, he lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles, this is the law of heaven!
"I came here, I saw this, I conquered this, this is the law of heaven!
"As the emperor of the most powerful empire in the world, wherever I point my finger, there will be millions of troops attacking there. Those I like are gods and Buddhas, and those I hate are demons. Those I protect will live and work in peace and contentment. Those who are abandoned have to die, and what they say is the law, this is the law of heaven!"
Speaking of this, Li Ye chuckled, "Michizane Sugawara, do you understand what is the law of heaven?"
Michima Sugawara
He stood there stunned, as if he had been hit by a club, or as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt. Not to mention he couldn't say a word, he couldn't even control his expression.
Not only is he like this, but the Japanese general behind him is also like this.
At this moment, they could not have realized more clearly that Datang's will to conquer the Wa country could no longer be changed. The rare hero in the world in front of him doesn't mind the dead, and he doesn't mind the blood flowing into rivers. What he wants is to push the glory of the Tang Dynasty to a new height.
And the country of Wa is just one of the steps.
Sugawara Michizane had blood flowing from the corner of his eye.
What should the country do? What can the country do
Yang Xingmi and the surrounding Tang soldiers held their heads high and their chests high, full of energy, as mighty as heavenly soldiers and generals. It seemed that otherwise, he was not worthy to stand by Li Ye's side.
...
When Sugawara Michizane left the Lingnan Navy, he seemed to have aged twenty years, with one foot in the coffin, without any energy, and nothing but sadness and panic on his brows.
Before he arrived at the Lingnan Navy, he had been dispatching troops and arranging the defense of the prefecture. This time, he asked Yang Xingmi to find out the reality of the Lingnan Navy so that he could make some targeted arrangements. Therefore, he had already issued an order to guard The guards from all over the state gathered in Ping'an capital to wait for him to arrange military affairs when he came back.
But when Michizane Sugawara returned to Heian-kyo, he walked past the expectant generals, without saying a word, without showing a single sign, and went directly to Miyagi to ask to see Daigo, as dumb as a zombie. This made the generals who had a good fighting spirit look at each other in blank dismay, with a bad premonition in their hearts.
"I heard that Aiqing went to the Tang Army Navy today and stayed for several hours. She must have seen a lot of things. Tell me quickly, does the Tang Army have so many magic weapons in the army like Fujiwara Shihei said? , so unbelievably strong?"
When Daigo asked this, he snorted coldly, "Fujiwara Shihei thought that the navy had already been destroyed, so I can't know how they were defeated? The Tang army is described as like a demon, just to cover up their incompetence!
"Since Aiqing has met the Tang Army navy, she should have a plan in her mind. She knows how to deal with them, right? They should have lost a lot if they defeated my 200,000 navy!"
Previously, Daigo suspected that Fujiwara Shihei was hiding the navy and wanted to rebel, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the possibility was unlikely. These days, Sugawara Michizane found out the whereabouts of the Lingnan navy and confirmed that the Tang army was indeed coming to Honshu Only then did Daigo put away his doubts about Fujiwara Tokihei.
Doubt is gone, but dissatisfaction is greater.
Now Daigo puts all his hopes of resisting the Tang army and defending his family and country on Sugawara Michizane, hoping that the other party can turn the tide when the country is in crisis. With Fujiwara Shihei's lessons learned, Michizane Sugawara will not make some fatal mistakes again, so the war will be much easier to fight.
Daigo looked at Sugawara Michizane with hope, expecting the other party to give him a satisfactory answer. He knew very well that although his right minister was not born in a noble family, he was very capable, even more so than Fujiwara Tokihei, but he was pure and straightforward, not as scheming as Fujiwara Tokihei.
Sugawara Michizane prostrated himself on the ground, and what he said next made Daigo, who was full of hope for him, stunned for a while.
Sugawara Michizane said sadly: "Your Majesty! I went to see the Tang Dynasty navy today, and I realized that Fujiwara Tokihei was right. The Tang Army possessed military artifacts that are worthy of the title of magic soldiers. There is no army in the world that can Compete with it one or two.
"Your Majesty, Tang Jun's magic weapon trebuchet, a spirit stone fireball, can destroy thousands of catties of boulders, and Tang Jun's magic weapon, the bed crossbow, can even shoot through the towers! They have too many magic weapons By the way, monks can be seen everywhere, and there are so many qi-training monks that I can't afford the courage to fight against them!
"Your Majesty, Fujiwara Chuhei's 200,000-strong navy will be defeated in one blow. It is definitely not because of any mistakes, but because the strength is too different. The difference between the two is like clouds and mud! To our army, the Tang army is really It is no different from the heavenly soldiers and generals, who have no power to fight at all... "
