Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

However, before Soga Ezo could take action, Okunoji and Kojima Kaibanao sent information again.

It directly indicated that Chu Mo was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

And after much pleading from both of them, the other party agreed to stay on Fukue Island for five days. If they haven't seen Prince Soga Ezo and Tamura after five days, then the other party will set sail again, go to Honshu Island, and meet directly with the mountain. Contact the eldest brother, the prince.

After hearing the message from the two of them, Soga Ezo suddenly panicked.

Let’s not talk about whether the identity of the other prince is true, nor whether the giant ship mentioned in the letter is real.

It is only said that the total number of guards accompanying the other party is more than nearly 3000, which is enough to influence the current situation on the island and be able to sweep any force.

If the other party is really just passing by for fun as stated in the letter, it would be enough to hand over a letter of credence.

But I'm afraid that if I don't receive them well, they will be bribed by my uncle, and then I won't be able to find a place to cry.

No, I can't miss this opportunity.

Amaterasu guided them to their own territory. If he handed over the envoy from the Celestial Dynasty to his uncle.

Then I'm afraid my uncle will wake up from his sleep laughing every day.

Thinking of this, Soga Ezo no longer remained calm, and directly ordered the gathering of guards, and then notified Prince Tamura, asking him to go to Fukue Island with him to meet with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Prince Tamura certainly did not dare to have the slightest objection to Soga Ezo's request.

After all, whether he can become the Japanese king depends on this minister.

On that day, Prince Soga Ezo and Tamura took a total of 800 samurai and a large number of gifts, and galloped all the way to Fukue Island.

At the same time, Soga Rise's secret agent buried next to Soga Ezo also got the news and passed the news back as soon as possible.

After hearing that the Celestial Empire's mission included their crown prince, and that there was an army around them that could crush any force, Sumama's political situation was similar to Sumama Ezo's.

Immediately, he didn't care that the other party was now in his nephew's territory. After discussing with all the staff in the mansion, he decided to spend all his money to go to Fujiang Island to meet Chu Mo.

After all, if the Chinese envoys sided with their nephew and supported Prince Tamura to succeed the Japanese king, then what awaited him would be house arrest or death, and there would be no other way out.

Now that the decision has been made, Suama Lishi is not a person who is dragging his feet.

At that moment, he gathered all the samurai he could mobilize, leaving only the samurai who were used to resist Soga Ezo's attack.

He directly gathered about 1500 people, took the eldest brother Prince Yamaback, took a boat, and traveled from Kobe around Fukuoka to Nagasaki day and night.

If you want to rendezvous with the men who were ambushing here before, follow Soga Ezo's route and sneak attack them halfway.

Since Solmo Ezo spent a lot of time thinking about and collecting the gifts for the mission when he received them, even though Solmo got the news later than him.

But the other party made a decision as soon as they received the news, and without any delay, they directly assembled their troops and headed to Fujiang Island.

Therefore, both sides basically arrived at Nagasaki on both sides.

Fortunately, Soga Ezo had the advantage in distance after all, so despite the obstruction by the people who had been ambushing here before, after a brief confrontation, he was able to break through the encirclement and fled to Fukue Island with Prince Tamura. .

Seeing Soga Ezo escaping, Soga Rise was of course unwilling to do so.

If he could directly kill his nephew here, then no one would be able to compete with him, and the prince, Shanbei's eldest brother, whom he supported, could successfully ascend to the throne.

The Heavenly Envoy has no other choice and will definitely recognize his orthodox status.

So the two parties chased and escaped, and came directly to the vicinity of Fujiang Island.

Although Fujiang Island is located in a remote area, it is the gateway area of ​​Japan after all, so there are many troops stationed on the island.

And at this time, the garrison is now in the hands of Soga Ezo.

When Okunoji and Kojima Kaibeo heard that their master Soga Ezo was being hunted by his uncle, they took their people to support without thinking.

Soga Ezo had previously set off with 800 people, but after several battles on the road, less than 400 people were left.

Although Sumarishi set out with 1500 people, plus the previously unknown 200 people, the total number reached 1700.

But after all, they were fighting across borders, and there was no time to rest on the road.

Therefore, after several battles, hundreds of people were reduced, and now there are only less than 1200 left.

There were about 500 troops stationed on Fukue Island. After they reunited with the remnants of Soga Ezo, their strength reached 900.

The gap between the two sides has become less serious.

In addition, the garrison on Fukue Island occupies a geographical advantage and is always in a state of recharging its strength.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides came into contact, they were inseparable.

On Chu Mo's side, Ziye immediately received the news that Sumaga Ezo and Sumama Rise had arrived at the same time.

Moreover, the survivor of the island and seaside personally came to the door and asked Chumo to send troops to help his master Soga Ezo suppress the rebellion and defeat Soga Ezo's army in one fell swoop.

However, Chu Mo originally wanted to defeat both of them, so how could he help.

He asked the samurai Yu to directly reject Kojima Haibanao's request.

He also warned the other party that he and others were only here for tourism and did not want to participate in the battle on Daowa Island.

If they want to seek help from themselves, they must submit their credentials as the new Japanese king and then they will consider it.

Seeing that Chu Mo really had no intention of sending troops, and that his side could not ascend the throne for the time being, Soga Ezo gave up the idea of ​​inviting foreign aid, and began to fully respond to the attacks of his own Soga Mori.

As for Suwa Morishi, their confidence immediately increased after they learned that the Chinese envoys would not take part in the fight between the two sides.

You know, there are more than 300 samurai on my side than Soga Ezo.

As long as you don't let them break out to look for reinforcements, you can be sure to annihilate them all here.

Therefore, in order to achieve the final victory and eliminate the opponent on Fujiang Island, the two sides began to fight with all their strength.
