Li Kui straightened his back and said, "Don't worry, Madam. As long as I'm here, Your Majesty will be fine. If you want to harm Your Majesty, step over my body first!"
Shi Jin had no choice but to sigh and said, "Don't worry, my Majesty, I will obey your orders!"
Wang Lin cast his profound gaze on Seiko Fujiwara.
Fujiwara Seiko knew the emperor's intentions and wanted her to be his guide.
Fujiwara Seiko sighed and said: "The Holy Son is willing to lead the way for His Majesty."
Murong Wan'er's eyes flickered, and she suddenly smiled and said: "Sister Shengzi, come with me, I have a few words to say."
…
There was a strong wind on the sea, and fog gradually began to form.
Wang Lin and Li Kui Shijin took Fujiwara Seiko with them and boarded an ordinary battleship.
And the emperor's ship sailed to the coast of Goryeo as usual.
Dozens of warships carrying 5,000 armored cavalry rode the wind and waves and sailed toward the center of Japan's main island at high speed in the thick fog.
Wang Lin's plan was to forcefully land on the coast of Kyoto, take the Japanese people by surprise, and attack Ping An Jing.
Two days later, the decisive battle in the direction of Kyushu Island had begun, but Wang Lin's lone army quietly landed from a small port in the middle of the Japanese island.
To the east of the beach, there are large tracts of fertile fields. As the red sun rises, the Japanese farmers working on the fertile fields suddenly feel that the earth is shaking. Thick smoke is billowing in the direction of the sea. They think it is an earth dragon turning over, and they all run away in panic.
Not long after, I saw a group of military horses with foreign flags marching through the fertile fields in a neat formation, coming over the mountains and plains.
The emperor took the lead and galloped at the front of the entire military formation.
Alongside him, besides Li Kui and Shi Jin, there was also Seiko Fujiwara.
Fujiwara Seiko's pretty face is calm and his eyes are clear.
Wang Lin felt a little surprised in his heart. He didn't know what Murong Wan'er told Fujiwara Seiko before leaving. But since then, Fujiwara Seiko seemed to be a different person, and the beautiful eyes that occasionally projected him still showed...
Show some tenderness.
Although there were other Japanese natives in the army as guides, Wang Lin did not completely believe in Seiko Fujiwara after all.
The army galloped through the central wilderness of the Japanese island like a strong wind, passed through the long and narrow valley, and arrived at the Heiankyo Wilderness of the Japanese in the evening.
The Japanese people had received the news of the Yan army's raid. The Japanese nobles in Ping An were in panic. The gates of the entire Ping An Capital were closed tightly. The two thousand Japanese soldiers and horses left behind were in full formation, guarding the hundreds of thousands of nobles across the country.
The moon and stars are sparse, and the night sky is vast.
The five thousand cavalrymen in brocade did not set up camp, but only temporarily dismounted and rested under Zhao's orders.
With his beautiful eyes, Fujiwara Seiko saw the strict discipline of the Yan army soldiers. There was no chaos in the temporary camp of 5,000 men and horses, only the occasional horses neighing, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
Then she saw the soldiers around her sitting quietly on the ground, silently eating some kind of dry food that she had never seen before. The food that Emperor Yan called compressed biscuits made her feel even more confused.
She suddenly felt her heart heat up, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the Emperor Yan who was standing there not far away, his back unmoving and graceful, and she felt a mixture of emotions in her heart.
She knew that Murong Wan'er planted the kind of poison called love poison for her.
From then on, her life was connected with Emperor Yan, and there was no possibility of any dissent.
After sailing with Emperor Yan on the sea and marching for several days, she realized that her affection for the Han emperor in front of her was growing day by day, and was beyond the control of her reason.
And along the way, what made Fujiwara Seiko even more puzzled was where the food for these five thousand soldiers and horses came from.
These five thousand people were all cavalry. They did not bring food when they disembarked, only drinking water. Where did the logistical supplies come from?
This is one of the places where Emperor Yan makes her feel more and more mysterious in the heart of Seiko Fujiwara.
…
Wang Lin quietly looked at the dim Ping An Jing under the night.
The light of dawn gradually penetrated, and the entire city was clearly visible.
This is a large-scale Japanese capital that is quite similar in style to Han cities.
There is also a moat that goes around the city and flows towards the sea.
"Miss Shengzi, according to your judgment, how many defenders should there be in Ping An Capital? How many people are there in the city?"
Fujiwara Seiko let the breeze blow a strand of messy hair on her forehead, and said softly: "Our army and horses have all gone to the direction of Kyushu Island to defend the Yan army. Heian Jingli, plus various samurai, there are only two to three thousand troops at most.
There are almost more than 100,000 people in the city, most of them are nobles."
Fujiwara Seiko paused, then suddenly bowed and begged: "Your Majesty, please be merciful and don't kill wantonly when the city is broken. I'm grateful to you!"
Wang Lin smiled calmly: "I am here to conquer, not to kill. Miss Shengzi, please order someone to send a message to Ping An Jing. If the Emperor or below can lead his troops out of the city and surrender to me, I can be open to one side, otherwise, I will be destroyed."
Come to this city."
Hearing the emperor's cold voice, Fujiwara Seiko's heart trembled. She bowed and bowed, then left and went to deliver a message to Heian Capital.
…
The Yan army descended from the sky like a divine army and arrived at Ping An. The city became a mess among the powerful and dignitaries of the Eastern Ying Dynasty.
If the Han people walk into the city, they will find that the Heianjing of Japan is actually modeled after Chang'an and Luoyang during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The entire building complex is arranged in a rectangular shape, with Zhuque Road running through the north and south as the axis, and is divided into east and west capitals.
Tokyo is modeled after Luoyang, Xijing is modeled after Chang'an City, and the imperial palace is in the middle.
Outside the palace city is the imperial city, and outside the imperial city is the capital city.
The streets in the city are in the shape of a chessboard, with order from east to west, north and south, and a neat layout, clearly dividing the palace, government offices, residential areas and commercial areas.
After all, this is also a traditional market-based city.
Ouchi-ri, where Emperor Sotoku lived, is located due north of Heian-kyo. With Suzaku-dori as the center, the city is divided into two symmetrical parts, Ukyo and Sakyo.
Fujiwara Kei, the second son of the Fujiwara family who stayed in Heian Kyo, hurriedly walked into the Ouchi. Outside the palace gate, a large number of Japanese dignitaries had gathered in a dark crowd. Except for the courtiers, most of them belonged to the three major aristocratic families or relied on the three major Japanese aristocratic families for their survival.
The head of a small or medium-sized aristocratic family.
Fujiwara Kei controls the only 2,000 troops left in Heian Kyo.
Everyone watched Kei Fujiwara walk into the palace with a gloomy expression. The scene that was originally filled with excitement turned silent.
Emperor Sutoku Hianhito was only seventeen years old this year, with a look of horror on his slightly immature face. He stood in the palace courtyard and saw Fujiwara Kei who came in a hurry. As if he had seen a savior, he walked quickly
He ran over and grabbed Fujiwara Kei's arm and said urgently: "Fujiwara, how is the situation outside the capital? How many troops are there in the Yan army? Can our army hold Kyoto?"
Fujiwara Kei took half a step back, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I have just received a message from the Holy Son. The Holy Son said that Emperor Yan is personally on the march, and his 100,000 troops are crossing Kyushu Island to fight our Japanese Allied Forces. The Yan Army
The momentum is so great that our army may not be able to resist it. But this time, the Emperor of Yan personally led the elite Yan army to attack Ping'an Jing. There were nearly 10,000 men and horses. They were all veterans of the Yan army who had fought fiercely with the Jin army for many years. They were brave and difficult to defeat. The Holy Son advised
I will discuss with Your Majesty to leave the city and surrender in order to save my life."
Emperor Sutoku's face turned earthy when he heard this.
