Murong Liang snapped his fingers.
"Murong Canglong, you and I are old acquaintances. Tell me what exactly happened."
Murong Canglong may lack combat skills, but he certainly has a talent for boasting.
This guy is making things up and distorting the truth.
This guy has such a foul mouth, he could make straw sound like gold.
"General Murong, our 100,000 troops fought a bloody battle and beheaded more than 300,000 cavalrymen of the Great Xia Dynasty. General Murong Yunhai fought bravely and died for his country."
Upon hearing this, Murong Liang clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.
The same was true for Murong Fu and Murong Bo, who were standing nearby.
"How many soldiers are left in the Great Xia Dynasty's army?"
"There are still a few hundred thousand left, but their fighting strength is far inferior to ours."
"Murong Canglong, where do you want to go this time?" Murong Bo asked from the side.
"Our force of over ten thousand men is already exhausted. If we continue to fight against the Great Xia Dynasty's army, we will not gain the slightest advantage."
"My goal this time is to go back and get reinforcements. As long as we have two or three hundred thousand troops, we can defeat them and make them flee in disarray."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"How is the war going in Japan now?"
Murong Canglong lowered his head and remained silent for a long time: "The capital of Japan has been captured, and our army has been basically wiped out."
Upon hearing this, Murong Fu exclaimed, "These guys even promised to give us over 10 million taels of silver!"
"If their supreme ruler, the Emperor, dies, who will we ask for the money from?"
Murong Bo glanced at everyone and said, "General, I think we should withdraw our troops. Their capital has already been captured, so there's no point in us advancing any further."
Murong Liang shook his head, and suddenly, he burst into laughter.
"I've fought the cavalry of the Great Xia Dynasty before. They're just a bunch of useless, easily defeated people."
"Murong Yunhai's 100,000 cavalrymen alone could wipe out 300,000 to 400,000 of them."
"I, the general, will personally lead the troops; I am confident we can rout them, leaving them in utter disarray and fleeing in disarray."
"They occupied Kyoto, the capital of Japan. If we take down Japan's capital, then Japan will be ours."
Murong Fu and Murong Bo nodded repeatedly.
"By then, Commander Murong Chui will definitely look at us with new respect."
Murong Liang stood up.
"We have destroyed the army of the Great Xia Dynasty, and we will be the emperors of this Eastern Japan."
"We can take whatever women, land, gold, and silver treasures we want from Japan."
"Just thinking about it excites me."
Murong Fu and Murong Bo quickly cupped their hands and said, "General, you are wise. We swear to follow you to the death."
"Murong Canglong, lead the way. I'm going to storm their capital and sit properly on their throne."
This great general also wants to experience being the Emperor of Japan.
Murong Canglong dared not go back.
He knew that if he went back, he would die.
“General,” Murong Canglong shook his head, “I received a message from the commander-in-chief yesterday. He knows that we have suffered heavy casualties and wants us to go back and rest.”
Once we have rested and prepared, we will march into the Great Xia Dynasty from the formidable Great Wall.
"General, when the time comes, our two armies will be positioned one in the east and one in the west, and the destruction of the Great Xia Dynasty will be just around the corner."
Murong Liang nodded: "Since the commander has given you the order, I will not force you to comply."
Murong Liang mounted his horse: "My Xianbei warriors, follow me and charge forward! Let's take Kyoto of Japan!"
At this point, Murong Liang's face was beaming with joy.
"Let's storm into their capital, rob them of money, women, and territory."
"Yes..." the Xianbei cavalrymen responded in unison, their voices booming with overwhelming force.
"Warriors, follow me to rob money, women, and territory!" Murong Liang spurred his horse and headed straight for the capital.
"Follow the general to plunder money, women, and territory!" The Xianbei cavalrymen quickly cracked their whips and followed.
As he watched 100,000 Xianbei cavalry surge past him, Murong Canglong felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
"General, aren't you sending them to their deaths?" the centurion whispered to Murong Canglong.
"They want to die, it's not my fault."
"Besides, Murong Liang's cavalry has always been stronger than ours."
"If Murong Liang's cavalry also suffers heavy losses, the commander-in-chief will not blame us."
"I actually hope that these 100,000 cavalrymen will be completely wiped out, leaving not a single one alive. That way, our Xianbei can thrive even more."
After saying that, Murong Canglong burst into laughter.
"Pass down the order for our main force to speed up its march and strive to return to Xianbei within a month."
"promise……"
…………
Hokkaido.
This place was also known as Ezo in ancient times.
They are called Ezo because the local people are unkempt.
They were dressed in thick animal skins from head to toe.
Their hair and beards, due to long-term neglect, had become exceptionally dirty, looking just like lobster whiskers.
Nishi Ezo.
Rows of low houses stretched out in one place.
At the heart of this area of houses is a royal palace.
Although this palace doesn't look as grand and imposing as the palaces in Kyoto, it has its own unique characteristics.
This is the place where Susanoo fled.
Susanoo sat in the main hall of the royal palace.
“Grand Master,” Susanoo said, holding a sake jar in his hands. He tilted his head back and gulped down a large drink. “My heart has been pounding wildly lately. What’s going on?”
My right eye has also been twitching a lot lately.
The imperial advisor stepped forward, gently closed his eyes, and began to perform a shamanistic ritual.
"Your Majesty the Emperor." The Imperial Advisor slowly opened his eyes. Susanoo had been living in Hokkaido since he escaped from Kyoto.
This guy considers himself the legitimate Emperor of Japan.
"This is a sign of impending doom. Your Majesty, you must be careful in your actions recently and refrain from rash behavior."
Susanoo snorted coldly upon hearing this: "Be cautious? If I always have to be cautious, when will I ever be able to retake Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku?"
"I've stayed in this harsh, cold northern land long enough."
I think about going back as soon as possible all the time.
To be honest, I had a dream last night.
Susanoo threw the sake jar he was holding onto the ground.
With a loud crack, the wine jar shattered into pieces in the royal palace.
Susanoo slowly stood up: "Yesterday I dreamed that I returned to Kyoto. That bastard Ōmono-no-shu knelt respectfully before me, asking me to ascend the throne."
"Imperial Advisor, please tell me what this dream of mine means."
The Imperial Advisor stood there, stunned.
"Since you can't tell me, then let me tell you: I will reclaim the throne, and I will be the Emperor of Japan. That bastard Omono-no-shu has no right to compete with me for the position of Emperor."
