Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 462 Playing the long game to catch the big fish
As soon as Liu Rengui finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Everyone could hear the strong murderous intent in Liu Rengui's words.

Yes.

Liu Rengui brought his troops here today, ready to take over the silver mine, and Soga no Emishi sent people over. Isn't this provoking others?

It is understandable that Liu Rengui wanted to chop him off.

"That's it for today."

Liu Rengui stood up, and everyone else stood up as well.

Liu Rengui said coldly: "I am here, and he is here too. It is obvious that he wants to teach me a lesson."

"In that case, I won't be polite."

Originally, Liu Rengui and Su Dingfang had discussed not to take action against Soga no Emishi and others until the Tang Dynasty's troops and personnel arrived here.

After all, they don’t have many troops, and they need to control the Japanese royal city and silver mines!
now.

Soga no Emishi actually came to him on his own initiative, so he didn't need to be polite.

Even though Soga no Emishi still had nearly 10,000 troops, Liu Rengui believed that the weapons they had were enough to prevent Soga no Emishi from fighting back.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to find out where Soga no Ezo is hiding!

Koizumi Jiro echoed in a deep voice: "General Liu is right. Since Soga no Emishi is shameless, we don't have to show mercy."

"I will immediately arrange for some personnel to cooperate with General Liu to capture Soga no Ezo!"

Liu Rengui nodded.

"How many people can you organize?"

"This……"

Koizumi Juichiro's gaze turned to Heiyi at the well.

He Yi at the well said with understanding, "General Liu, although we don't have many soldiers in our hands, we still have a lot of able-bodied men."

"If we organize ourselves and bring weapons, we might be able to form a team of a thousand men."

One thousand people...

There should be more than that.

Liu Rengui thought to himself, if there were only a thousand people, how could the surrounding villagers allow them to sit in the county government office with peace of mind?

However, more than half of the 300 elite soldiers they sent out first had been killed or wounded, and now sending out another 1,000 strong men would be almost their bottom line.

"One thousand people is one thousand people."

Liu Rengui smiled and said, "I am very pleased that you are so concerned about the suppression of bandits. After this is over, I will reward you all."

Koizumi Jiro and others laughed immediately.

"You are too polite, General. I dare not think about what reward you will give me. I just ask you to let us keep our family property."

"That's natural."

Liu Rengui laughed and said, "Everyone, please arrange some personnel to follow me and wipe out the Soga no Ezo!"

"Yes!"

……

After a stick of incense.

He Yi and others at the well gathered a thousand able-bodied men.

Although these strong men look very sturdy, it is obvious from their steps that they are just a group of scattered soldiers.

Moreover, what puzzled Liu Rengui was why all the strong men that Jingbian Heyi and his men had found seemed to be malnourished.

They were all thin and short, and their physiques were not as good as those at the well.

but.

After all, there are a thousand strong men, which is better than no men.

"Have everything been explained?"

"Don't worry, General. I have explained everything."

Koizumi Juichiro said in a deep voice, "This time I will personally lead the troops and follow the general to capture Soga no Ezo."

Liu Rengui raised his eyebrows and looked at Koizumi Juichiro, expressing great approval for Koizumi Juichiro's loyalty.

"If General Koizumi can successfully capture Soga no Ezo, regardless of life or death, I will give you credit for the first achievement."

"Thank you, General."

"Set off."

Liu Rengui waved his hand.

Under their leadership, the group left Okayama Prefecture and headed straight for the seaside.

at the same time.

Cheng Feng looked at Tuoye who was leaving on the boat with a smile on his face.

Of the more than 300 people he brought this time, more than half were killed or injured. If he hadn't intentionally let them go, all of them would have died here. How could they have left smoothly by boat?

"Captain, the general is here."

"it is good."

Cheng Feng nodded and immediately led people to greet them.

"General."

"What about people?"

"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I have already let them go."

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "However, before Takuya and the others escaped, I had already caught some of them and learned from them where Soga no Emishi was hiding."

"very good!"

Liu Rengui nodded.

I have to say, Cheng Feng is really good at what he does.

"Where is Soga no Ezo hiding now?"

"Kagawa!"

"Okay."

Liu Rengui raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He didn't expect that Soga no Ezo would actually run to Kagawa.

Cheng Feng continued, "I have already arranged for someone to quietly follow."

Cheng Feng made very good arrangements.

As long as people catch up, they can determine the military strength of Soga no Ezo. Although the deployment issue may not be known for sure, the general personnel arrangement should be able to be explored.

This was of great help to them in sending troops to encircle and suppress the Soga no Emishi.

Liu Rengui turned his gaze to Koizumi Juichiro and others standing aside and said, "You heard it, Soga no Ezo is hiding in Kagawa now."

"I will need you to prepare your own warships and follow us to Kagawa."

"no problem."

Koizumi Jiro nodded immediately.

The thing Japan has the most is ships. Although there may not be many warships, there are plenty of small ships.

Liu Rengui immediately gave the order, and the soldiers quickly got busy. An hour later, Liu Rengui led 4,000 elite soldiers and hundreds of warships and headed straight for Xiangchuan.

"General, are you really not going to inform General Su?"

"It's not necessary."

Liu Rengui smiled indifferently.

Seeing Cheng Feng's worry, he smiled and explained, "The reason why I didn't inform General Su about the encirclement and suppression of Soga no Ezo this time is not because I am reckless and want to take the credit."

"It's because the opportunity cannot be missed!"

"Takuno and his men fled back to Kagawa in a panic. Soga no Ezo must have been alert and started deploying defensive forces."

"If we inform General Su, we will definitely not have enough time to go back and forth. If we want to encircle and suppress them again, we will definitely have to face the defense of Soga no Ezo."

"Secondly."

"We have a great advantage in fighting by ship this time."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Each warship is equipped with a large number of Renyi guns and bomb launchers.

These things are definitely a dimensionality reduction attack on Soga no Emishi.

Just like how he dealt with Inuami Ota Kuwata before, he was able to defeat Soga no Emishi's army without any effort.

and.

Why did Soga no Ezo choose a place like Kagawa?
Isn’t it because it’s convenient to run away?
Whether by water or by land, once he senses something is wrong, he can escape at the first opportunity.

but.

Liu Rengui came here on a warship this time!

If Soga no Emishi wants to take the water route, it would be seeking its own death!

Xiangchuan, inside the county government office.

The original simple layout had long since disappeared, and the entire county government office was decorated magnificently. Its level of luxury was in no way inferior to that of the imperial palace.

"Master, Takuya is back."

"So fast?"

Soga no Emishi stood up from the arms of several geishas, ​​frowned and said, "Call him in."

Takuya strode in and knelt in front of Soga no Emishi, "Please punish me, my lord."

"What happened?"

Looking at Takuya's miserable appearance, Soga Emishi couldn't help but frown.

Tuoye said in a deep voice: "There are already Tang troops stationed in Okayama County. If I hadn't reacted quickly and led the troops to evacuate immediately, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."

"The Tang army is stationed in Okayama County?"

"Exactly."

Soga no Emishi fell silent.

The Tang army moves so fast!
After landing at Naniwazu, they headed north, captured Empress Shu Mingtian, and even turned back to control the silver mines.

Fortunately, in order to prevent accidents, Takuye only brought more than 300 people this time. If the number of people was more, they would have been discovered by the Tang army before entering Okayama County.

"Do you know how many troops the other side has?"

“I haven’t seen it clearly.”

Tuoye shook his head. "Although I don't know their exact number, the number of people who attacked us before was definitely no less than 500."

"It seems that the Tang army is also very concerned about the silver mine."

Soga no Emishi touched his chin and a hint of coldness appeared on his face.

Silver mines are the source of wealth, how could they fall into the hands of the Tang army?

What is Kamimono Kaname doing!
and many more!

Soga Emishi's expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something, "You said the other side has at least 500 people?"

"Exactly."

"Did they use muskets?"

"Yes."

"That……"

Soga Emishi's face was cold, "Why were you able to escape back?"

"Because the other party didn't expect..."

Takuya was stunned in the middle of his words.

Even if the other party did not expect that these three hundred people were not the surrounding villagers but an elite force, five hundred people would be enough to keep them there.

Why did they escape back alive?

“Play the long game and catch the big fish!”

Soga Emishi said slowly, "Their target is not you, but me!"

"They were afraid that you had been discovered when you were close to the silver mine, so they deliberately let you go and let you lead their spies to find our location."

"Please punish me, my Lord!"

Takuya grabs the ground with his head.

No matter how dumb he was, he understood it now.

but.

Soga Emishi waved his hands, "Now is not the time to punish you!"

"Somebody come!"

"Call Chengtian Jingwu and others to come see me immediately!"

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Soga Emishi said slowly, "It seems that the other party is targeting us."

"Takuya."

"exist!"

"You can arrange personnel to patrol the perimeter now. If you find any disturbance, report it immediately!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Tuoye also understood the importance of the problem.

If the Tang army surrounded them before they could react, they would be in big trouble.

after all.

The combat effectiveness of the Tang army is not comparable to those good-for-nothings under Kamimeno Kaname.

Especially those muskets and bombs.

The power is amazing.

Thinking of the men who died in front of him, Tuoye couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

I don’t know if they can stop it this time.
