Chapter 2875 What I have to do today is not to convince people with wisdom, but to convince people with force
Emperor Kotoku looked at his elder brother, whose face was filled with the will to die. The prince, who was older than him, wanted to die. Emperor Kotoku let out a long sigh.
"I...I decided to send the envoy out of the city to see if there is still a chance for relief. What does the prince think?"
Brother Zhong shook his head slowly and finally forced a smile.
"Since Your Majesty wants to do it, then go ahead and do it."
Cheng Sanlang stood on horseback and looked at the city wall, which was only about one foot and a half tall. It was densely packed with countless people standing on it.
On the side, Fang Jun, who had seen the exaggerated power of the flying thunder cannon, couldn't help but shook his head in disgust and said to Cheng Sanlang.
"Brother Chu Bi, if the wall is broken like this, if it were the flying thunder cannon, it would probably be destroyed by one shot, right?"
"..." Cheng Chubi was confused and glared at that bastard Fang Jun with a face. A damn cannon can destroy everything. What I'm playing with is gunpowder bombs, not nuclear bombs.
"No, no, no, brother Chu Bi must not do it. If that happens, wouldn't everyone's visit be in vain?"
"That's right, we still want to take the credit. If you kill us with another cannon, our brothers won't even be able to get a bite of soup."
"You all shut up, General. I already told you that it was an accident."
"Okay, okay, if you say it's an accident, it's an accident. But brother Chu Bi, I think we should let those Silla people attack first. If that doesn't work, why don't you start firing?"
Looking at this group of talkative friends, Cheng Chubi was helpless. Next time he would definitely not bring so many friends out to take credit.
At this moment, Cheng Chubi heard the shouts coming from the front, turned around and saw two hanging baskets lowered from the top of the city.
Two large living people climbed out of the hanging basket, and then began to walk in this direction cautiously.
"Ouch...it's actually those two guys." Cheng Chubi looked at them through the telescope and burst into laughter.
"Who?" Fang Jun on the side also picked up a telescope and looked over, and Xuanji burst into laughter.
"Oh, these two guys were not caught in Luoyang at first, but now they have thrown themselves into the trap."
The two young ministers of the administrative department, Yoshiki Yuomaro and Kuromaro, looked at each other with deathly expressions on their faces, and then continued to walk forward with staggering steps. Soon, they saw several riders galloping towards them.
.
Cheng Chubi watched happily as the two men were escorted in front of them and fell to the ground.
"The minister of the guilty country, the young minister of the administrative department, Jishi Xiongmaru, paid a visit to the superior country, Xiao Cheng Taibao."
"I, by order of my lord, have come to ask Taibao Xiao Cheng to surrender..."
After saying that, Yoshishi Yumaro presented a letter of credence with both hands. Cheng Fa on the side stretched out his hand to copy it and handed it to Cheng Sanlang.
Cheng Chubi only glanced at it and threw it to Fang Jun who stretched his neck to get a closer look with a look of disgust on his face.
"Xiao Cheng Taibao, our Japanese country has always been very respectful to the Celestial Empire for hundreds of years, and regarded the Celestial Kingdom as the suzerain of our Japanese country.
This is just a small mistake. I hope Taibao Xiao Cheng will take pity on me. It is not easy for the Japanese country to inherit the country. The only way to survive is to let the guilty country. The guilty country is willing to give everything in the treasury to comfort the king..."
"Brother Jingren, come here, have you seen it?"
Cheng Chubi ignored the Japanese envoy who continued to chatter in front of him, and instead summoned the little nerd Li Jingren.
"See, the actions of these Japanese people are really in line with what Brother Chu Bi said before. The Tang Dynasty is trying to reason with them, but they are playing hooligans against me, the Tang Dynasty.
Now that I have found that I cannot defeat the Tang Dynasty and have been forced into a dead end, I have begun to try to reason with my Datang Dynasty. Such capriciousness is really depressing."
After these days of intensive indoctrination and education from brother Yiqian, Li Jingren finally saw a little bit more clearly about the complicated hooligan relationships between countries.
Cheng Chubi nodded with great satisfaction. No matter whether he gave up literature and followed martial arts or abandoned martial arts and followed literature, he had to have some brains and don't let others fool him.
After all, we are all old brothers, and Cheng Chubi does not want his team of pure old drivers to have unsophisticated sticks.
"Brother Chu Bi, it seems that Japan can be settled today..." Qin Huaidao, a young man on the side, said very excitedly.
Niu Weituo, who had already experienced the hard work of the battlefield, patted the young man on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"My dear brother, your words are wrong. As long as the enemy chief has not yet been crowned, you must not think that you are sure of victory."
After abandoning literature and joining the military, Fang Jun, whose military strategy skills finally received stable blessings, also agreed with deep approval,
"Yes, in history, there are many examples of people who underestimated their enemies and took advantage of them."
"Brother Chu Bi, please ask me to lead the reconnaissance cavalry to investigate the surroundings. There is a dense jungle outside Feiniao City. If there is an ambush..."
Cheng Chubi looked at the Japanese king's city, and his eyes fell on the fifty artillery pieces, sufficient ammunition, and more than a hundred outstanding grenadiers.
In addition, among their elite team from the Tang Kingdom, there are more than a hundred Japanese nobles. Oh no, they should be the heads of the Japanese kingdoms, princes or important ministers.
Cheng Chubi brought them here, just to let this group of people from the Japanese island countries have a good appreciation of the military power of the Tang Dynasty.
Although it is indeed very skillful to solve the ambush with wisdom, it is far less shocking than showing the bravery of the Tang soldiers and the power of the Tang artillery.
"No, be careful to scare away the opponent's back-up. We are here today to destroy the confidence of the entire Japanese nation to resist."
"What we have to do is not to convince people with wisdom, but to convince them with force."
#####
Emperor Kotoku stood on the top of the city with a worried face, looking forward eagerly. The young ministers of the administrative department, Yoshiki Oumaro and Kuromaro, must have seen the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty at this moment.
I don't know if the conditions I have given can persuade Cheng Sanlang to put down the butcher's knife and leave the Japanese country a way to survive.
At this moment, not only him, but also all the Japanese civil and military officials looked in that direction with anxious expressions, praying inwardly to the gods they believed in.
After a long time, I saw several cavalry galloping out of the Tang army camp in the distance, and Najishi Xiongmaru and Kuromalu staggered at the front.
Emperor Kotoku stared blankly at the two people who were getting closer and closer, and saw the lifeless expressions on their faces. His little heart felt as if someone had directly poured a bucket of ice water on it, which made him feel so cold.
"Then Taibao Xiao Cheng only gave the Japanese country two quarters of an hour, and asked the Japanese country to immediately lay down their weapons and surrender unconditionally."
"If it doesn't surrender, he will launch the first round of shelling in two quarters of an hour."
"... He doesn't agree to any of the conditions given by Gu?"
"..." Yushimaro Yoshishi shook his head slowly and heavily, and said with difficulty. "Your Majesty, there is no other way except to lay down your weapons and surrender immediately."
"I...I would like to ask your majesty to open the door quickly and ask for surrender. Otherwise, Cheng Sanlang will never give me a way out of Japan."
"As long as you surrender in time, as long as His Majesty is still here, everything will be fine..."
