The immortal body is called Teevat

Chapter 212: The Sorrow of Rice Wife

"What? Is this really what you mean?" Kujo Takayuki looked at the other party in astonishment and disbelief. His voice unconsciously rose octaves, as if he was greatly offended.

Kujo Takayuki was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, and could even be said to be extremely angry. He stared at the person in front of him with his eyes wide open, veins popping out on his forehead, and his hands clenched into fists, as if he could explode at any time.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kujo Takayuki," the other party's tone was polite, but the indifference revealed in it made people shudder, "Due to some changes in the domestic situation, we can no longer provide assistance to you and your Tenryo Bugyo Shogunate Army. I hope you can understand this."

Shelev, who was sitting below, was the diplomatic attaché in charge of the negotiations between Inazuma and Tenryo Bugyo. He sat upright, with a serious expression, and exuded a uniquely arrogant temperament of the people of Zhidong.

Kujo Takayuki's anger was instantly ignited, and he roared in anger: "You fools have taken so much benefit from Inazuma, aren't you satisfied? I just asked you to provide some supplies, but you have to shirk your responsibilities like this?"

Kujo Takayuki's voice echoed in the room, making people's eardrums hurt. His anger erupted like a volcano, and people couldn't help but be surprised by his loss of composure.

But thinking about it carefully, his anger is normal. Kujo Takayuki has always been a thorn in the side of Kaiki Island. Even though the previous two war situations failed, this guy still wanted to continue fighting.

Kujo Takayuki naturally blamed others for his past failures. It was either the excessive corruption at the front and in the rear that led to poor supply, or the incompetent command of the generals at the front, or... In short, Kujo Takayuki was not wrong.

The Fatui sensed that Kujo Takayuki wanted to continue the war, so they sent a series of treaties to the desk of the head of the family who temporarily held the highest power in Inazuma.

As a condition of the signing of these contracts, the Fatui will provide as much material support as possible in the subsequent war between the Shogunate Army and the Haiqi Island Army, at least no less than 10 billion Mora per month until the end of the war.

So Kujo Takayuki sent several of his most trusted confidants to secretly negotiate peace with Coral Palace Xinhai.

Kujo Takayuki's instructions to his trusted men were also very simple, that is, no matter what conditions the other party proposed, they must find ways to delay the time so that the shogunate army can be mobilized before fighting.

After the strange organization Isshinkai appeared, Kujo Takayuki followed suit and began to learn about personality cult. He not only fostered a large number of family factions among the middle and lower-level officers.

Moreover, on the premise of sufficient military pay, these middle and lower-level officers were allowed to brainwash the soldiers, making them all aware that they would fight for the last bit of their strength for the Shogunate Army and become the Shogunate Army's last blade against the enemy.

And because the original power division among the three magistrates was completely out of control, Kujo Takayuki became more and more crazy. Since he was no longer restrained by the other two magistrates, the feeling of being the only one in power made him obsessed, poisoned, and gradually lost himself.

He needed this victory so much, and this victory would bring him a continuation of this wonderful feeling, but the brainwashing effect was obviously a copycat.

Now that the military pay is sufficient, these soldiers can shout a few words at the critical moment and be willing to die for their superiors, but if they are really asked to carry out suicide attacks, that is another matter.

However, there is always a small number of people who have been successfully brainwashed. People from their family faction are even more fanatical. How far has it gotten?

They hoped that Lord Kujo Takayuki could directly eliminate the other two magistrates and bring all power to one magistrate, thus completing the unification of the Inazuma government.

All of these brainwashed fanatics were promoted by Kujo Takayuki to at least lower-level officers. Then, Kujo Takayuki used the powerful military force of the shogunate army to develop a theory of victory in one battle.

This means breaking the traditional stalemate of attrition war, using the absolute overwhelming force and rapid momentum of the military to break down the resistance's defenses, and then achieving victory.

But he never considered what would happen if he couldn't break the resistance line in one fell swoop? All he could see now was that it was as easy as an elephant crushing an ant.

But if you want to implement this plan, you must have sufficient supplies, otherwise you can't expect the soldiers under Kujo Takayuki to attack while eating grass like cattle and horses.

And the transportation of supplies also takes time. Because of the problem of the evil spirit left over from Yayuki Island, Kujo Takayuki has only expanded two supply lines, so it really takes enough time.

And while there is enough time, the wise leader of the resistance army must be kept in the dark, but Xinhai is obviously not someone who can fool himself like Kujo Takayuki.

She actively arranged defenses and deliberately gave up all the difficult-to-defend positions on the beach, allowing the already small number of Haiqi Island soldiers to rely on the mountains to defend the terrain.

The range of the Guobeng cannon is simply beyond reach here, and the intersecting terrain of various small islands around also makes it basically impossible for the Guobeng cannon to be transported to Haiqi Island. So this is actually the safest way.

Of course, it would be best for Haiqi Island if peace talks could be reached. The war has lasted for four or five years now. Even the witch of Haiqi Island is tired and bored with the war, not to mention others.

The peace talks naturally fell apart a week later, and then Kujo Takayuki began to spread propaganda frantically in a certain area, mainly saying that Coral Palace Xinhai of Haiqi Island was determined to continue the war. So the shogunate army had no choice but to send troops to wipe out this gang of traitors.

Moreover, before going on the expedition, Kujo Takayuki deliberately spent a lot of money to raise the morale of his own army to the highest level, just to win the battle in one go.

On the third day after the peace talks broke down, the shogunate army began to turn to the offensive again, and used the fierce attack of the national artillery to plow the beach, creating conditions for the landing of their own army.

The surrounding small islands, Kujo Takayuki, were not spared and were all bombarded. Soldiers were then sent to occupy them. However, all these were resolved by the arrangements made in advance by Xinhai of Coral Palace.

Now the police's filial piety only got a few small islands that were pockmarked by bombing, and nothing else.

At the beginning, the morale of these well-paid shogunate troops was high. Even when they encountered a desperate resistance from the rebels, they could advance slowly. Moreover, those fanatical diehards would tie elemental explosives on themselves and rush into the rebel positions to detonate them.

Although this method was quite successful and the rebels were beaten back, by the time they retreated to the mountains, the shogunate army began to run into trouble.

During the first month of the Continuation War, the rebels could only hide in the mountains and forests. As long as they captured this place, they would be able to enter the Coral Palace.

Kujo Takayuki naively believed that his one-strike victory theory had been successful and the resistance forces scattered in the mountains and forests could no longer form any resistance system. As long as he worked harder, he could completely suppress the chaos on Haiqi Island.

After this, the outnumbered rebel soldiers began to harass the guerrilla shogunate army and attack their vulnerable supply lines in the rear.

Under the leadership of General Goro, the shogunate army not only failed to stabilize the occupied land, but was instead firmly sucked into the deep mountains and forests and fought guerrilla warfare with the rebels.

In addition, the Isshinkai began to "revive" due to the large-scale mobilization of the shogunate army. They began to constantly harass the transportation routes of Myojin Island, making the transportation on the road seem a little tiring.

Fortunately, the Fatui's ships were able to transport supplies to the front line as quickly as possible, which meant that Kujo Takayuki's fierce offensive continued.

As a result, by the end of the second month, the shogunate army had suffered too much damage, and this meaningless attack only increased casualties.

Moreover, almost all of the diehard members that Kujo Takayuki had spent huge amounts of money to cultivate had been used as human bombs and blown to pieces.

Now, those who are left, if they still have a bit of common sense, will never do such a stupid thing that will lead to their death.

Under such circumstances, the middle and lower-level generals repeatedly asked Kujo Takayuki to continue the offensive. Kujo Takayuki had no choice but to give up his so-called "one strike to win" argument and re-adopt the old-fashioned, slow-moving tactics.

But who could have imagined that in the third month, the Fatui actually stopped the transportation of supplies!

This time, Kujo Takayuki could no longer sit still. He immediately asked his men to find Liao Xiefu and ask him to come over so that he could find out what was going on.

However, when Kujo Takayuki saw Liao Xiefu, his anger was not responded to at all. Facing Kujo Takayuki's roar, Liao Xiefu seemed unusually calm.

Even the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a contemptuous smile. He said slowly: "Mr. Kujo Takayuki, I know you are very angry now, but I still have to remind you that sometimes violence can indeed solve many problems."

"But in my opinion, even if you kill me, the will of Her Majesty the Queen will never be shaken by the death of one person. So, you'd better not do this trick of threatening people again." He gently deflected the blade of Kujo Takayuki, and then the smiling monk's expression disappeared instantly.

"And Mr. Kujo Takayuki, there is no benefit in killing my father, and we the Fatui will also change the objects of our support. By then, it may not be so easy for you to take over Haiqi Island."
