Become a feudal king from today

"Lord Sato, you must think of a way to save me and Qi." The lights flickered, and Han Zheng begged bitterly in the imperial study. For him, perhaps the only country that could save Qi at the moment was Japan. After all, Japan was as powerful as the Northern Di and was a mortal enemy of the King of Yan. Otherwise, once the King of Yan learned that the Southern Liang troops had withdrawn, he would immediately launch an attack on Lucheng. At that time, it was difficult to guarantee whether the Xie family, the Liang family, and the Fan family would fight to the death with the King of Yan for Qi. Sato Masahisa chose to remain silent. Not only Han Zheng, but also the retreat of the Southern Liang camp shocked him. He was heartbroken that the Japanese navy was annihilated by the Yan fleet. He had hoped that the Yan coalition forces could work together to fight the Yan king. Even if they could not destroy the Yan king, they could at least seriously injure his vitality to avenge the Yan king's destruction of the Japanese navy. But he did not expect that such a mistake would happen just when the war was about to break out. "Waste, what a bunch of waste. "Sato Masahisa cursed in his heart.

He, Japan, spent a lot of manpower and material resources to curb the King of Yan, and even handed over the forging technology of flintlock rifles, which led to the coalition forces attacking Yan, but failed because of the Southern Liang.

How can he not be angry? How can he not hate?

Looking at Xiang Han Zheng, he wanted to draw his sword and cut him in two.

Save him? How can he save him?

The Japanese navy was destroyed, and Japan can only rely on merchant ships to travel secretly to Dasong. What else can he do to save him?

But as the mastermind of Japan, he can't just deal with this matter based on his likes and dislikes.

Let Japan get the greatest benefits.

So he sighed and continued to incite, "The Japanese navy was destroyed. Even if Japan has a million troops, it can't be transported to Qi. I'm afraid you can only rely on yourselves now. "

After a pause, he continued: "But your majesty, don't worry, even if Qi is defeated, Japan can give your majesty a stable life. ”

He was reassuring Han Zheng.

Han Zheng was most afraid of the demise of Qi and his falling into the hands of King Yan, and then he would have no choice but to die.

Giving Han Zheng a way out might give him the courage to fight King Yan.

After all, even if he lost the war, at least the children of the Han family could continue to enjoy wealth and honor in Japan.

If Han Zheng could trust him, he could continue to stir up civil strife in Dasong, causing Dasong to continue to bleed, while weakening King Yan.

He didn't want to see the alliance against Yan that Japan had worked so hard to promote fall apart.

Even if it couldn't be saved, at least the remaining clans had to fight King Yan.

Even if King Yan finally seized Qizhou, he had to pay the price.

In this way, he would feel relieved. Take some.

Han Zheng felt his hands and feet cold when he heard this.

Sato Masahisa said this, which was equivalent to saying that there was no way.

In fact, he probably guessed that Japan was powerless now, but he could only hold a glimmer of hope to ask Sato Masahisa for help.

Now, he has completely given up.

He is not interested in the retreat that Sato Masahisa left for him.

Japan cooperates with him, relying on the status and strength of his Qi State.

If Qi State perishes, even if he flees to Japan, the Japanese may treat him well in the short term, but what about the long term?

Thinking of this, he suddenly lost interest.

Raising his hand, he was about to let Sato Masahisa go back.

At this time, an eunuch arrived outside the imperial study.

Han Zheng said: "What else?"

The eunuch saluted Han Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, there are three Japanese people at the east gate of Lucheng. They seem to be seriously injured. They want to see Lord Sato and say they have something important to meet. "

Han Zheng glanced at Sato Masahisa and said, "Bring them to the Imperial Study." Sato Masahisa narrowed his eyes slightly.

If it were before, Han Zheng would certainly avoid this matter, but today he seemed to want to listen to this "important matter".

Obviously, Han Zheng's attitude towards Japan has changed.

He was mentally prepared for this. After all, if the fleet of King Yan could not be defeated one day, Japan would no longer be of much use to Qi.

In the final analysis, Japan and Qi were just taking what they needed.

Soon, the three Japanese were taken to the Imperial Study by a pair of imperial guards.

After receiving the order from the shogunate, they hid in a merchant ship and sneaked to Qizhou at night.

During the day, they did not dare to approach the coast, as Yanzhou's warships were constantly patrolling.

Seeing Sato Masahisa, one of them, was about to speak, but suddenly saw Han Zheng, and swallowed the words that were just on his lips, and took out a letter from his arms.

Sato Masahisa smiled, and Han Zheng's plan to spy on the "important matter" failed.

Han Zheng did not try to take it.

Although he no longer valued Japan as much as before, he would not snatch Sato Masahisa's letter. Maybe Japan would be useful in the future.

Sato Masahisa read the letter, and suddenly there was more excitement in his eyes. He murmured: "It's worthy of being a great general. If this matter can be facilitated, Japan will be safe, and the King of Yan will be trapped in Dasong."

Turning to Han Zheng, he said, "Your Majesty has a way."

"A way?" Han Zheng was stunned for a moment, overjoyed.

His face returned to a flattering smile, and he asked: "What way? "

Sato Masahisa handed the letter to Han Zheng.

Han Zheng quickly glanced at it. Although the Japanese characters on it were somewhat different from the Dasong characters, he could roughly understand the literal content.

After learning about this so-called "important matter", his face fell, "This is obviously a good thing for the Liang family, what does it have to do with my Qi country?"

"Does your majesty have a better choice?" Sato Masahisa's eyes were bright.

Han Zheng was suffocated, and then his expression fell.

Sato Zhenjiu patted Han Zheng on the shoulder and continued, "If this matter can be accomplished, with the support of Japan, His Majesty will not be wronged. In the future, he will just change his title and place."

Han Zheng looked struggling. Just as Sato Zhenjiu said, he seemed to have no other choice.

If Qi falls, the Han family will become wandering wild dogs.

But if Japan can really accomplish the "important things" in the letter, the Han family may still have a glimmer of hope.

"Will the Liang family agree?" Han Zheng hesitated.

"He has to agree. King Yan has captured Qizhou and Ningzhou. The next step is to destroy his Wu Kingdom. If this happens, it will be of great benefit to his Wu Kingdom." Sato Zhenjiu was extremely confident.

Then he said: "It's just that this matter will take some time to be completed. Although Nanliang is gone, you must not run away, otherwise it will ruin the matter."

Han Zheng nodded slowly, "Sir Sato, there is no need to say, how could my Han family surrender the territory of Qi to King Yan? Even if the traitor Nanliang withdraws, I will definitely fight with King Yan."

After pondering for a while, he said: "It's hard to say whether the Liang family and the Fan family will stay, but I should be able to persuade the Xie family's troops to stay. Humph, our Qi country is defeated, and it will be his turn to be the Xie family next. Xie Duan cannot be in a hurry. ”

Sato Zhenjiu showed a satisfied smile and said: "That's very good. I will rely on you two from now on."
