Chapter 1,290 Arriving at Akiye City

Suga Chongjun was immediately frightened and trembled. He didn't know how to answer. The situation was very complicated at that time. He thought it was a joke about the navy, so he didn't ask too much about it.

If he had known that his grandfather would be angry because of this, he would have inquired more clearly.

As for the soldiers killing each other that night, I immediately wanted to ask Orihime for help. Who knew that such a thing also happened to Orihime.

In the end, things got out of hand. The two discussed countermeasures and decided to let the remaining soldiers retreat and all retreat to Akiye Castle.

It was too late for me to escape at that time, so how could I still think about investigating the matter clearly?

Su Wo Chongjun felt extremely wronged and did not want to die.

Emperor Kogi said at this time: "Ezo, this matter is not the time to pursue for the time being. We should go to Akiba Castle now to find out the matter.

The 200,000-strong army has been repulsed by the Tang army, and there is still a 100,000-strong army, which may not be able to stop the Tang army's offensive."

Soga Ezo nodded and said: "According to His Majesty the Emperor's words, let the army move at full speed. Akiba Castle must be reached within three days. Now it takes one more day to reach Akihabara Castle and it will be in danger."

Su Ga Chongjun was dissatisfied and said: "Does Li Feng still want to attack Qiuye City?"

"Hmph." Soga Ezo said in a deep voice, "This man not only wants to attack Akiba Castle, but also wants the entire Fuso. I really shouldn't have given him a city at that time."

Emperor Huangji said: "If Li Feng is not given the city, I am afraid that all the Fuso people in the Tang Dynasty will be expelled from the Tang Dynasty, or arrested, or even killed directly. This will be a disaster for Fuso.

We need Datang's technology and Datang's knowledge, otherwise Fuso will always lag behind other countries.

Baekje, Silla and other countries, once they know that we have broken with the Tang Dynasty, they will definitely attack us, and then the real disaster will come."

"Alas, this is an endless loop, an endless loop with no solution. One will only cause Fuso to suffer disaster quickly, and the other will only cause us to suffer slow disaster." Soga Ezo sighed.

"Grandpa, Emperor." Soga Takajun said, "Don't be so pessimistic. We still have a hundred thousand troops. Plus the soldiers you brought this time, we are enough to compete with Li Feng and the others.

As long as we can capture Li Feng, then everything about Li Feng will be ours. As long as we have time, we can definitely make a comeback. Not only can we make a comeback, we can also compete with Datang for the world."

"You are the only one who can say such a thing. Tell me, who told you this?" Soga Ezo asked in a deep voice.

"Grandpa, what you said is too much. Why can't I say such a thing?" Su Ga Chongjun was very unconvinced.

Soga Ezo sneered: "As the saying goes, Mono's father knows his son. What's more, I am your grandfather. What kind of person are you? I don't know?"

If you had the knowledge just now, I would have handed over the Suga family to you, and I could have enjoyed peace and happiness and lived a few more years.

But, your performance has disappointed me so much, okay, tell me, who told you these words?"

"Ori, Princess Orihime."

Under Soga Ezo's repeated questioning, Soga Takatoshi had no choice but to recruit.

"Alas. The princess is indeed the smartest person in Fuso and the future king. It would be better if she was a boy." Su Ga Chongjun regretted

said.

Emperor Kogichi sneered: "If Orihime were a boy, his surname should be Soga. He has no right to sit in the position of emperor, but he can become the next head of your Soga family and make your Soga family strong for another hundred years or even

longer."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Soga family has always supported the imperial family, otherwise we would not have handed over the 50,000-strong army to Princess Orihime."

"Okay. Let's set off for Akiye City."

"good."

Emperor Kogi didn't want to continue this topic. Although the Soga family supported the imperial family, almost every emperor had blood from the Soga family. In other words, the two families were related by marriage.

If placed among ordinary people, such a relationship would make the two families very harmonious.

But when it comes to the imperial family, it's different. Especially when the Soga family has more power than the emperor, then their marriage is just a political marriage without any feelings.

The army changed its route and its destination became Akiye Castle.

Akiba Castle is a large city, several times larger than Sakata Castle. Because the land here is fertile and the land area is large, it is a recognized food producing area of ​​Fuso.

Sakata Castle is actually the barrier of Akiba Castle, and it is one of the reasons why the Fuso Imperial Court sent 200,000 troops to garrison Sakata Castle.

Unfortunately, as soon as Li Feng arrived, Bantian Castle was captured by Li Feng, and he did so with little difficulty.

Akiba Castle.

Orihime had already received news from Sakata City at this time. Sakata Mi became the new city lord of Sakata City. Because of Li Feng's new policy, they gained the support of the people.

Similarly, it also offended many nobles. Almost all the nobles in Bantian City hated the Tang Dynasty, Li Feng and the group of people who worked for him.

It's impossible to just let them leave Bantian City. Their family property is in Bantian City. If they just leave like this, the person who gets the advantage will be Li Feng, and they will suffer the most losses.

What's more, they are also worried that once the Tang army captures the entire Fusang, won't they be the same wherever they go?

So a group of nobles could only endure their heartache and hand over all their land to the government. Those who refused would be killed.

Originally, some nobles wanted to resist and refuse to hand over the land, but after killing a member of one of the families, they all honestly handed over the land.

Not only is it land, there is also a group of slaves. There is not a single slave under Li Feng's jurisdiction. Even if he was a slave before, he is now a free man.

After some slaves were freed, they began to take revenge on their original masters. After this happened, the government directly intervened and arrested those slaves for the crime of wounding.

According to what Li Feng said, slaves are human beings, and so are those nobles. We are all citizens of Sakata City, regardless of you or me.

Just because they are nobles, they cannot be beaten by others. This makes some nobles have a favorable impression of Li Feng's policies.

Orihime was not surprised by the support of the people, so she didn't feel anything and was not angry at all, because the people were ignorant and ignorant.

But there is one thing that makes Orihime very uncomfortable, that is, Sakata Yuu has become Li Feng's follower.

Moreover, Orihime also learned about the rumors about Sakata Yuu following Li Feng, one of which he firmly believed, that is, Sakata Yuu sold everything about Fuso to Li Feng in order to survive.

As a condition, Li Feng will always protect Sakata Xiong until Li Feng takes down the entire support.

Until mulberry.

"Asshole, Yu Sakata, you are really a bastard without the spirit of Bushido. You should commit suicide by committing seppuku now." Orihime roared angrily.

"See you, princess." A soldier walked up to Orihime and saluted.

Orihime restrained her anger and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

The soldier replied: "Reporting to the princess, there is an army from Sakata Castle heading straight for Akiye Castle."

"How many people have come in total?" Orihime asked in a deep voice. This was not good news.

"About three thousand people. Thirty hot air balloons also came. We were discovered, so they all came back." The soldier said unwillingly.

"They actually sent out hot air balloons, and they are going to fight us." Orihime's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"Princess, we are not afraid of the soldiers on the ground, but there is really nothing we can do about the hot air balloons in the sky," the soldier said.

As a scout, you can use the terrain to find out the enemy's situation without worrying about being discovered, because they can't be discovered at all.

But there was nothing they could do about the hot air balloon in the sky. Looking down from above, they could see it clearly and there was no way they could avoid it.

Even if you avoid the sight of the hot air balloon, they don't dare to move because if you move, you will definitely be discovered.

In order to send information to Akiye City, a group of scouts had no choice but to expose themselves and quickly head to Akiye City.

Orihime sneered and said, "Isn't it just a hot air balloon? Do you really think no one can crack it?"

The soldier lowered his head. There was nothing he could do anyway.

"You scouts continue to inquire for information, don't worry about being exposed." Orihime continued.

"Yes, princess."

After the scouts left, Orihime ordered her soldiers to make Kongming lanterns.

Since the other side used hot air balloons to bomb them, I used sky lanterns to interfere with the balloon's line of sight.

The most important thing is that the Kongming Lantern will pose a fatal threat to the hot-air balloon after it takes off. If any fire falls into the basket of the hot-air balloon, it may ignite the gunpowder of the hot-air balloon and cause it to explode.

One hundred thousand soldiers, if each person folds ten Kongming lanterns, there will be one million Kongming lanterns. By then, thirty hot air balloons will have wings and cannot escape.

At this time, Chai Shao led three thousand Fuso suicide squads to Akiye City. They traveled lightly and traveled for three days before finally arriving at the gates of Akiye City.

After they arrived at the city, they did not attack in a hurry, but set up camp. Their purpose was to tell the people of Qiuye City that the Tang army had arrived.

"General Chai, we are setting up camp now, what if the Akiye City army attacks?" Yoshizawa Ono said.

Chai Shao smiled and said: "Yoshizawa Ono, I understand your worries, but please don't worry, as long as they attack now, then if we retreat now, I won't let them die in vain."

Yoshizawa nodded heavily and said: "I believe General Chai. By the way, why didn't the hot air balloon fly over? Didn't they set off with us?"

Chai Shao said with a smile: "We have traveled for such a long time and need a good rest. They will appear after we have regained our energy. Now our task is to rest, and we don't need to worry about anything else."

"Okay, I will order the soldiers to rest now, but once the soldiers from Akiye City attack, we will retreat immediately," Yoshizawa Ono said.
