Chapter 2378 The Snake’s Backlash

Chapter 2374: Snake’s Backlash

The army led by Zhao Yong was attacked by Oda Nobunaga, and the entire army was annihilated.

Zhao Yong was a strong man. In order to avoid being humiliated after being captured, he was about to draw his sword and kill himself. However, he was stopped in time by Yamata no Orochi, and he was eventually captured alive and imprisoned.

Neither Oda Nobunaga nor Yamata no Orochi meant to humiliate Zhao Yong, but wanted to use him in exchange for prisoners of war.

This also made Zhao Yong breathe a sigh of relief and gave up his plan to commit suicide. After all, who would want to die if he could live?

 Zhao Yong was a member of the Song Dynasty clan and had a very close relationship with Zhao Guangyi. He was not a real brother but looked like a real brother, so he was absolutely certain that Zhao Guangyi would definitely redeem him.

 But neither the left nor the right came. Zhao Yong immediately realized that the two sides definitely did not reach a consensus on the exchange of prisoners of war, and it was 80% that the price demanded by the Japanese side was too high.

Zhao Yong guessed right. Although Zhao Guangyi was a sinister and ruthless man, he was still very kind to his own people. So when he learned that Zhao Yongai was alive, he immediately and actively carried out rescue operations.

After Oda Nobunaga learned of Zhao Yong's identity, he realized that Zhao Yong was a rare commodity, so he demanded a sky-high price and even asked the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces to release all captured generals and mid-level officers.

Oda Nobunaga was very smart. He knew that it was unrealistic for the coalition to give up all prisoners of war, so he turned to officers. As long as the officers came back, he could quickly expand the army and build up a new combat force. It was not strong but it was enough. The army defending the city.

 Note that what Oda Nobunaga requested was not the Song Dynasty, but the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

Is it possible for Zhao Guangyi to be the master of Xia Houyuan and Sun Ce?

 This is obviously impossible.

Zhao Guangyi also felt that the price demanded by the other party was too harsh, so it was naturally impossible for him to agree, so the negotiations became deadlocked.

Oda Nobunaga didn't care about this. Instead, he concluded that Zhao Guangyi would not give up Zhao Yong, and at worst, they could just talk slowly.

What Oda Nobunaga didn't know was that this would be the most wrong decision he had ever made in his life. If he had just accepted it when it was good and put Zhao Yong back, so many things wouldn't happen in the future. But because of his one thought, the entire Japanese country will be destroyed.

After realizing that he would not be able to go back in the short term, Zhao Yong also thought about saving himself, but unfortunately there was no way until the Yamata no Orochi took the initiative.

 Zhao Yong initially thought that Yamata no Orochi was using him to fake a surrender, so he planned to pretend to have a good reputation and secretly use them to escape.

But later it was discovered that something was wrong. If Yamata no Orochi and Shuten Doji were really pretending to surrender, their behavior would have gone too far.

 Zhao Yong immediately realized that the two men were not pretending to surrender, but really wanted to rebel.

After some questioning, Zhao Yong found out that it turned out that the Shinto sect was destroyed overnight. Both of them were frightened and did not dare to be enemies with the Central Plains Allied Forces anymore.

Zhao Yong was completely relieved now, and persuaded Yamata no Orochi and Shuten Doji to join the Song Dynasty, but neither of them obviously looked down upon the Song Dynasty.

Through Zhao Yong's narration, Yamata no Orochi and Shuten Doji learned that they killed many people in the coalition and offended the Qin, Wei, Song and Wu states.

But given their ability, if they sincerely surrender, there is still a high chance that they will be accepted and that they can be punished and make meritorious deeds.

 Of course, except for the state of Wu.

The Yamata-no-Orochi killed the Wu clan, Sun Hao and Sun Yi, and the two sides had formed a deadly feud. It was absolutely impossible for the Wu State to accept the Yamata-no-Orochi.

Of course, even if he did not form a deadly feud with Wu, Yamata no Orochi would not seek refuge with Wu. After all, among the four choices of Qin, Wei, Song and Wu, the strongest Qin was obviously the best option.

Although Yamata no Orochi almost died at the hands of the Qin army twice, once by Zhao Yun's gun, and the second time by Dian Wei Xu Chu, this made him the most dissatisfied with Da Qin.

 But the next choice will, after all, involve wealth and life. Da Qin is the most powerful country in the Central Plains, and its development situation is still very good.

　　Although Yamata no Orochi is not broad-minded and he is not a generous person at all, he is not stupid. Compared with his life, he can still let go of this grudge.

Seeing that Yamata no Orochi and Shuten Doji both looked down on the Song Dynasty and obviously wanted to surrender to the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Yong suddenly had the urge to vomit blood.

He had no idea that he almost died at the hands of the Qin army twice, but Yamata no Orochi was still more willing to surrender to Qin.

Zhao Yong has wasted so much talk. Is it to strengthen the enemy? This is obviously impossible.

But neither Yamata no Orochi nor Shuten Doji are stupid, and they are easy to fool. But what can be done to make them change their minds and abandon the Qin Dynasty to join the Song Dynasty?

Zhao Yong was secretly worried. Although he thought he was good at eloquence, it was too difficult and he could only rely on deception.

After some careful consideration, Zhao Yongxin had already organized his words and sneered: "Two generals, if you are not afraid of death, you can go and join Da Qin."

Both Yamata no Orochi and Shuten Doji knew that Zhao Yong wanted them to defect to the Song Dynasty, so they both looked disapproving.

Jiutun boy sneered and said: "Your Excellency Zhao Yong, I know that you want us to vote for Song Dynasty, but if you were us, what would you choose?"

If Zhao Yong were Yamata no Orochi, he would definitely have surrendered to Qin. After all, this was the most correct choice. However, he was a member of the Song clan and was destined to become an enemy of Qin, so it was naturally impossible for him to tell the truth.

"If I were you, I would not surrender to the Qin Dynasty, because it would be equivalent to going to die on your own initiative."

 Zhao Yong said with determination, his acting skills were so superb that even he believed it.

Shuten Doji still had a look of disbelief on his face. He was about to refute, but was interrupted by Yamata no Orochi.

Yamata no Orochi asked with a serious face: "What do you mean by this?"

“You may not know that Qin and Wu were married to each other..."

Before Zhao Yong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yamata no Orochi.

"We not only know about the marriage between Qin and Wu, but also know that Qin, Wei, Qin and Song Dynasty all had marriages." Shuten Tongzi sneered.

“Then do you know that Qin and Wu are not only allies by marriage, but also that the Qin army general Zhou Yu and the Wu prince Sun Ce are sworn brothers?”

"What?"

 Yama no Orochi and Shuten Doji exclaimed at the same time. They had thought that Zhao Yong would use various reasons to deceive them, but they did not expect it to be this reason at all.

Zhao Yong saw that both of them looked frightened and struck a chord while the iron was hot: "Being able to form brothers with different surnames shows how good the relationship between these two people is.

Your Excellency Baqi killed the Wu clan and completely offended Wu to death, which is equivalent to completely offending Qin to death. "

　　Hearing this, Yamata no Orochi's face instantly turned extremely ugly, but Shuten Doji retorted: "This is just your speculation."

 “No, this is not speculation.”

Zhao Yong shook his head and said confidently: "I dare to conclude that if the two of you defect to Qin, General Shutun may be able to save his life, but it will be difficult for General Baqi.

Sun Ce only needs to say a word, and his good brother Zhou Yu will definitely kidnap you and give you to Sun Ce on the grounds of maintaining relations between the two countries.

  General Yaki, do you dare to bet? "

"But..."  Shuten Douji subconsciously wanted to refute, but he found that the temperature in the room dropped several degrees in an instant. When he looked at Yamata no Orochi's face again, he found that it was indeed uglier than before, and there was a look in his eyes when he looked at him. alert.

Shuten Doji's face also became ugly. Zhao Yong's words just now alienated the relationship between himself and Yamata no Orochi.

On the surface, Zhao Yong said it to the two of them, but in fact, he said it to Yamata no Orochi alone.

After all, judging from the information in Zhao Yong's words, if Yamata-no-Orochi surrendered to Qin, it would indeed be the same as surrendering to death.

The current situation is like this: both Shuten Doji and Yamata no Orochi want to surrender. Yamata no Orochi cannot surrender to Qin, but Shuten Doji can.



 This is obviously impossible.

Even though Shuten-Douji had just saved Yamata-no-Orochi's life not long ago, if such a matter of life and death was contrary to his own interests, Shuten-Douji had no doubt that Yamata-no-Orochi would kill him.

The two of them have never been good people. If Shuten Doji were in the position of Yamata no Orochi, he would definitely do the same thing.

At this thought, Shuten Doji was also secretly wary of Yamata no Orochi, and at the same time he looked at Zhao Yong with murderous intent in his eyes.

 Just a few words separated the relationship between him and Yamata no Orochi. This guy's mouth is much more powerful than a knife.

Although Zhao Yong's strength is not weak, he obviously cannot withstand Shuten Doji's murderous intent. He trembled under the murderous intent, but still stood stubbornly until Yamata no Orochi helped him resolve the murderous intent.

Yamata no Orochi blocked Zhao Yong's life, looked at Shuten Dozi with a serious face, and said, "Brother Shuten, you will make the same decision as me, right?"

Shuten Doji clenched his fists, but after weighing the pros and cons, he finally loosened his fists and snorted with an unhappy look on his face: "Hmph, don't worry, I will advance and retreat together with you, but only this time."

Yamata no Orochi was secretly relieved. He knew that this would make Shuten Doji feel resentful, but he had no choice but to take the gamble.

Yamata no Orochi turned around, looked at Zhao Yong, and said coldly: "Your Excellency Zhao Yong, I will go back to verify what you said. I hope you didn't lie to me, otherwise..."

Yamata no Orochi didn't say the rest, but the threat was self-evident.

Zhao Yongze said with a nonchalant look on his face: "Just check it, it's not a big secret anyway."

Yamata no Orochi nodded. He was not stupid, so it was impossible for him to believe whatever Zhao Yong said. However, Zhao Yong's fearless attitude was enough to show the confidence in his heart, so it was unlikely to be a lie.

Jiutun boy was extremely dissatisfied with Zhao Yong's plan and sneered: "Even if you can't vote for Qin and Wu, there are still Wei and Song to choose from, so why choose Song instead of Wei?"

 Yama no Orochi nodded. This time he stood up for Shuten Tongzi. After all, in his opinion, the Wei State with Erai and Yu Rongwang was obviously stronger than the Song State with no one who could fight.

Hearing this, Zhao Yong secretly cursed the drunken boy for being difficult to deal with, but he still calmly said: "How can Wei State be compared with our Song State?"

Hearing such self-proclaimed words, Yamata no Orochi and Shuten Doji were speechless, obviously not believing that the Wei State was inferior to the Song State.

“The Wei State does have more top generals than the Song State, but its national strength is far inferior to that of the Song State. You may not believe it, but this is the fact.

Among the countries in the Central Plains, Wei was not only the weakest in national power, but also the poorest. It was also the country most controlled by Qin.

The reason why the Wei State conquered the Japanese was to rob the wealth and then develop its own national power, so as to get rid of the control of the Qin Dynasty..."

Zhao Yongbabala talked for more than ten minutes, degrading the state of Wei as worthless. Of course, what he said was all the truth.

Yamata no Orochi and Shuten Doji looked at each other in disbelief. They couldn't believe that the Wei State, with such a strong army, was so weak in terms of national power, and all aspects were controlled by the Qin State. Then this country was too deformed, wasn't it? How did it exist until now?

“If Song, Wu and Da Qin are brother states, then Wei and Da Qin are father and son states, and their status is slightly higher than that of the tributary state Tang.

Although Wei is trying its best to get rid of Da Qin's control, it has not completely gotten rid of it so far.

So Mr. Baqi, if you defect to Wei, Zhou Yu has an order for Wei to hand you over. What do you think Wei will do? Or not? "

 Zhao Yong's words made Yamata no Orochi clench his fists. If this were the case, he would have no other choice but to seek refuge with the Song Dynasty.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Yamata no Orochi exhaled a long breath and said calmly: "What you said, I will go back and verify it next time."

After saying that, he left the prison with the drunken boy.

Looking at Yamata no Orochi's leaving figure, Zhao Yong showed a smile on his lips. He was 80% sure that he would succeed.

As Zhao Yong expected, the Yamata no Orochi came to him again the next day and made a clear decision to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

After Yamata no Orochi returned, he immediately began to check the intelligence and found that what Zhao Yong said was true. In this way, he had no other choice. He could not seek refuge in any of the other three countries. Instead, Song was the best choice.

"Your Excellency Baqi, our Song Dynasty lacks strong generals. With your strength, if you submit to our Song Dynasty, you will definitely be put into great use by the King of Song."

Zhao Yong said with a smile, his tone no longer as cautious as before.

“From now on, we will all be colleagues. Please give me your support, Brother Zhao.”

Yamata no Orochi bowed his hands, Zhao Yong held his hand and said with a smile: "Naturally."

Zhao Yong probably never imagined that the fierce generals he recruited for the Song Dynasty would actually become one of the driving forces behind the destruction of the Song Dynasty.

"Brother Baqi, since you are ready to submit to the Song Dynasty, I don't know how to submit a petition?" Zhao Yong asked with burning eyes.

Yamata no Orochi pointed to the land at his feet: "How about using this city and an army of 30,000 as a certificate of surrender?"

 “Not enough.” Zhao Yong shook his head.

"What?"

Yamata no Orochi was stunned, and even thought that he heard wrongly. Oda Nobunaga was on guard against him. He only had so much power in his hand, and he was ready to hand it over. Isn’t it enough?

"The general is sitting in this Kinki area, but he only wants to leave one city first. How can this be possible?" Zhao Yong said meaningfully.

Yamata no Orochi was not stupid. He immediately understood what Zhao Yong meant and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhao, you have such a big appetite."

“If God doesn’t take what he wants, you will suffer the consequences. Oda Nobunaga has calculated this for you, how can you still be grateful to him?”

A flash of coldness flashed in Yamata no Orochi's eyes, and he thought: Oda Nobunaga, since you were unkind in the first place, don't blame me for being unjust.

Make up a chapter, and owe the best chapter, wait for the next vacation to have time to make up.
