Chapter 446 Very good, very energetic!
Iyo Onsen Palace.

Nanba Yoshihachiu hurried into the palace and found Emperor Shumei who was taking a hot spring bath.

"Something has happened to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Is it the Tang army that is coming to attack us?"

Emperor Shu Ming seemed to have known about the Tang Dynasty's dispatch of troops long ago, and he calmly asked, "Where have they reached?"

"This time, the Tang Dynasty sent 13,000 elite soldiers, led by Su Dingfang and assisted by Liu Rengui, who have already arrived at Danluo."

"The border garrison commander of Danluo, Jingbian Murakami, is from our country of Japan. In order to effectively consume the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty, he arranged for people to kill Liu Rengui's men. However, he did not expect the matter to be exposed too quickly, resulting in Jingbian Murakami being captured before he could escape."

"The Star Lord of Danluo has obtained the forgiveness of the Tang Dynasty and has warmly entertained the Tang Dynasty soldiers. He also claimed that he would arrange a thousand elite soldiers to accompany the Tang Dynasty to conquer our country!"

Emperor Shu Ming remained unmoved and closed his eyes comfortably as he enjoyed the massage from the palace maid.

Nanba Jishi Banniu couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, are you listening?"

"Listening."

"Jingbian Murakami died. Not only was the Danluo troop deployment map he drew not sent out, but it also led to the merger of Danluo and the Tang Dynasty, which will pose a huge threat to us!"

"What do Goryeo and Baekje say?"

"Goryeo will send 3,000 soldiers and 50 warships, and Baekje will send 2,000 soldiers and 30 warships to help us resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty!"

"That's it?"

Emperor Shu Ming sat up from the hot spring, his face full of coldness, "They don't want their son's life anymore?"

Nanba Yoshibagi: "The Tang Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses. If they were not concerned about the lives of the hostages, I'm afraid they wouldn't send anyone to help."

"Once the Tang Navy has finished resting, it will march straight to Naniwa Tsu with great momentum!"

"That's when."

"Soga no Emishi will certainly seize the opportunity to win over the ministers and regain control of the court!"

"Your Majesty, we must prepare in advance!"

Emperor Shumei slowly stood up, and the palace maid behind him immediately picked up the bathrobe and covered Emperor Shumei with it.

Emperor Shumei glanced at Nanba Yoshihisa Baguio and said calmly, "The Tang Dynasty only sent 13,000 elite soldiers. Even if we add the 1,000 men from Danluo, the total number is only 14,000 soldiers."

"On the other hand, our navy is the most well-equipped, has the largest number of sailors, and has no less than 2,000 warships of all sizes!"

"Even if Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui led a large army from Danluo State, what can we do?"

"We can just stop them outside Naniwazu!"

Seeing that Emperor Shumei was so conceited, Nanba Yoshihachiu could not help but said, "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is strong, especially after the new emperor ascended the throne, its strength has expanded unprecedentedly."

"The Western Regions and the Steppe Turks have all been defeated by them. We must not underestimate them!"

"you are wrong."

Emperor Shu Ming smiled calmly, "Of course I didn't look down on them, but you just imagined them to be too powerful."

"How does the current Tang Dynasty compare to the previous Sui Dynasty?"

Nanba Yoshibagi pondered and said uncertainly: "Maybe it's a little bit worse, but if we give them some time, they may be able to achieve the Kaihuang rule of the previous dynasty."

"now it's right."

Emperor Shu Ming picked up the wine glass and took a leisurely sip. "The Sui Dynasty was so powerful back then, but what happened?"

"Emperor Yang of Sui returned without success after three expeditions to Goguryeo, which led to the collapse of the empire and the scramble for supremacy among various factions."

"The Emperor Li Shimin was very powerful. He fought his way up the battlefield bit by bit, and made all the enemies surrender. He was honored as the Heavenly Khan and appointed as the General of Heavenly Strategy."

"But the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty is Li Chengqian, the son of Li Shimin."

"It's not that I look down on him, but he is far inferior to Li Shimin!"

"If Li Shimin sent troops to attack my dynasty, I might be afraid, but what about Li Chengqian..."

"Not worth mentioning!"

Nanba Jishi Hachiu: "..."

Emperor Shumei continued, "As for the Soga no Emishi you mentioned, they are no longer a concern now that they are suppressed by Kamimeno Katana."

“Perhaps there are still some people in the court who have some illusions about him, but as long as General Kamimono Gatana’s army doesn’t return to the court, they will have no chance of turning the tables!”

"Pass on my order, and summon the dog to the Imperial Field to see you."

The eunuch beside him bowed and stepped back, then went to announce the decree.

Emperor Shu Ming smiled and waved, then walked to the side and sat down. "You don't have to panic. The Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo three times but all failed. It will not be easy for the Tang Dynasty to destroy our country of Japan."

"Do you think that our dynasty is not as powerful as Goryeo?"

Nanbaji Hachigyu shook his head.

Goryeo was just a small country.

In front of their Japanese country, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Otherwise, they would not have sent their sons to Japan as hostages like Baekje did.

Just a moment.

Inugami Oden strode in, "Your Highness the Emperor."

"Have you ever heard of Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, I have heard of Su Dingfang."

Inuugami Mita Kuwa said in a deep voice, "This man was a general of the Tang Dynasty. He had outstanding military exploits and was granted the title of General of the Central Army. His ability to lead troops should not be underestimated."

"As for Liu Rengui, whom Your Majesty mentioned, I have never heard of him. Perhaps he is just a little-known person."

Nanba Yoshiba Gyu shook his head, "Impossible, this man must have something extraordinary to be able to lead the troops as Su Dingfang's deputy general." Inu no Mita looked at Nanba Yoshiba Gyu, "Maybe so, but whether he has the ability or the means, we still have to fight to find out."

Emperor Shu Ming smiled and nodded, saying, "You are right. This time, the Tang Dynasty sent 13,000 soldiers to destroy our dynasty!"

"With such a small number of people, they don't even take Japan seriously!"

"Inugami Mita-shovel, listen to my orders!"

"The minister is here."

"I order you to be General Pingbo, command 20,000 soldiers and 500 warships, and annihilate more than 10,000 Tang soldiers in the East China Sea!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Inuugami Ota Kuwata had a serious look on his face.

"Any questions?"

"Your Majesty, I cannot guarantee that I can completely annihilate the Tang navy, but I can guarantee that I can let them see how powerful our dynasty is!"

Inuugami Otagi responded loudly.

Twenty thousand elite soldiers and five hundred warships against the Tang Dynasty's thirteen thousand troops. They have an absolute advantage both in terms of numbers and warships!
Even though the Tang Dynasty possessed powerful muskets, they in Japan also have them!
It is precisely because they have muskets and know their strengths and weaknesses that he has such confidence!
"The advantage is mine! Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

"very good!"

Emperor Shu Ming smiled and nodded, "Very energetic!"

"Go ahead, let the Tang navy see how powerful our Japanese navy is. Don't lose face!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Inuue Ota Kuwa responded loudly, then bowed and left the palace.

"Your Majesty..."

Emperor Shumei raised his hand and interrupted Nanba Yoshihachiu.

Emperor Shu Ming said calmly: "The Tang Dynasty is strong on land. If Li Chengqian had arranged a hundred thousand troops to come, I would not be so reckless to confront them head-on."

"But he chose to use the navy to defeat our dynasty. This is absolutely impossible!"

"Perhaps it was that poisonous scholar Su Chen who gave Li Chengqian inexplicable confidence, or perhaps it was those fire guns..."

Emperor Shu Ming sneered, "It's powerful, but it reloads too slowly!"

"In a fight on the sea, it's not just the quality of the weapons that counts, it's the numbers that count!"

"One shot from a musket can take a life, but he also needs to be able to shoot accurately and hit the target in a split second!"

"What's the point if you can't shoot accurately?"

"Most of our warships have various types of crossbows. Once fired, it will be like a rain of rain, making it difficult for anyone to hide!"

"Didn't Gao Biaoren think that I was rude to the Tang Dynasty back then?"

"Then be more rude!"

Hearing this, Nanba Jishi Banniu couldn't help but sigh.

It seemed that Emperor Shu Ming had made up his mind, and no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

"Your Majesty, the beautiful girl selected by Lord Kuromaro has been delivered. Please take a look at it personally."

Emperor Shu Ming raised the corners of his mouth, a new concubine has arrived.

As for why the concubine was sent into the palace, it was naturally because of Cui Wei’s absurd behavior.

Otherwise, why would Emperor Shu Ming replace all the concubines in the palace?

"Send them to the bedroom, I will go over to inspect them."

……

Danluo Kingdom.

The 8,000 naval forces led by Su Dingfang have successfully landed on the island.

With the warm hospitality of the Star Lord, the guests had a great time, but Su Dingfang and the other two did not forget the mission of their trip.

After the banquet, Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui came to the room to discuss the next action plan.

Liu Rengui spoke first, "In the afternoon, I have arranged for people to go to the waters near Japan to gather information. According to reliable information, Japan has already seen through the purpose of our military deployment in advance."

"Also, Emperor Shumei has already issued an order, appointing Inujou Mita Kuwata as the General of Hiranami, leading an army of 20,000 and 500 warships to resist the royal army."

"Inugami Mita-shovel?"

Su Dingfang frowned and said, "Why does this name sound familiar?"

Liu Rengui smiled and said, "Your Excellency Marshal is forgetful. This man once represented Japan as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. Later, because Lord Gao Biaoren was ordered to go on a diplomatic mission, he was sent back to Japan."

"At that time, Mr. Gao even argued with Emperor Shu Ming over whether to kneel facing north and accept His Majesty's order, and the argument ended in a quarrel."

Su Dingfang slapped his forehead and laughed, "Hey, look at my memory. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have really forgotten it."

"Mr. Gao is a man of sentiment. He refused to announce the decree if Emperor Shu Ming was unwilling to kneel and bow facing north."

Liu Rengui smiled and nodded: "That's right."

Su Dingfang: "So, the one who greets us this time can be considered an old friend?"

Liu Rengui: "It should be so."

Su Dingfang smiled and glanced at the map in front of him and said, "Then shouldn't we greet each other properly?"

"As it should be!"
