There are three countries on the Korean Peninsula, Goguryeo in the west, two countries in the east, Silla in the north, and Baekje in the south.

Geumseong, the capital of Silla.

Since Wang Hyunce's mission to Silla, he has not seen Queen Seondeok in front of Jindeman, and the diplomatic officials who are responsible for receiving him (the official names of Silla are too difficult to remember, so I won't list them all) accompany him all day long to eat and drink, be accompanied by beautiful women, and have scenery to see, but there is nothing serious to talk about.

Queen Kindman has always refused to meet Wang Xuance on the grounds that she is unwell.

Wang Hyun Chaek was sent by Li You to discuss with Queen Seondeok Jindeman about sending troops to Baekje, but Queen Jindeman was skeptical about whether the Tang Dynasty could defeat the powerful Baekje naval division, and she waited and saw the results of the battle between the Tang Dynasty navy and the Baekje naval division. She had already calculated that if the Tang army won, she would unite with the Tang army and send troops to attack Baekje. If the Tang army loses, she will not offend the Tang Dynasty, so she will let Wang Xuance go back and forth.

Not long ago, Queen Kindman received news that the Baekje Naval Division had mobilized hundreds of warships to Jeju Island to besiege the Tang army's warships, and she felt that the Tang army was more than lucky.

On the battleship "Yangzhou", Li You looked at the outline of the continent that appeared in the distance with a telescope, and ordered: "The whole army stops advancing. ”

Yoo In-rail gave the order to stop advancing, and the entire fleet lined up, looking in the direction of Baekje.

A fifth-class sail battleship continued forward, and when it came to the shore, it lowered a yacht from above and rowed towards the shore.

The patrol warships of Baekje also discovered the fleet of the Tang Army, and they knew that the fleet sent by their country to attack the Tang Army must have had an accident, otherwise the fleet of the Tang Army would not have appeared here.

The patrol warships of Baekje did not dare to come forward to challenge the Tang warships, and they fled to the shore to avoid the Tang warships with a deep draft. When they saw the yacht rowing, they greeted it.

"Don't let go of the arrows, I'm Yan Changhan, the general of the Sailor Town." A man on the yacht stood up and shouted.

"It's a stroke rate." The Baekje soldiers on the patrol warship shouted.

Yan Changhan boarded the patrol warship and hurriedly said, "Take me to see His Majesty King Wu." ”

The capital of Baekje is located in Baseong, the royal palace.

Yan Changhan came to the palace and didn't dare to go directly to see Wu Wangfu Yu Zhang, so he first went to see the queen's sister, who was 18 years younger than him, and asked her to accompany him to meet Wu Wangfu Yu Zhang.

Yan Changhan knelt on the ground, snorting and tearful to tell what happened to him, in his mouth, those Tang Dynasty people were no longer weak and bullied, but a group of flood beasts.

The ministers of civil and military affairs, who had great hopes for this expedition, were in an uproar when they heard that this was the result.

Yu Zhang, the husband of Wu Wangfu, heard that Yan Changhan had lost half of the sailor warships of Baekje at once, and he almost fainted. He pointed at Yan Changhan with trembling fingers and said, "You, you, you are really damned." ”

The beautiful queen hurriedly interceded for her brother, and under her persuasion, Yu Zhang, the husband of the martial arts, finally did not punish Yan Changhan on the spot, and he said angrily: "What did the Tang Dynasty people do when they let you come back?" ”

Yan Changhan said cautiously: "The Tang fleet has sailed to our coast, and they ask Your Majesty to promise them a few conditions, otherwise they will attack our capital." ”

Wu Wangfu Yu Zhang asked, "How many people are they coming?" How many warships are there? ”

Yan Changhan said: "Count about forty or fifty warships, tens of thousands of people. "He slightly exaggerated the strength of the Don Army.

Wu Wangfu Yu Zhang said angrily: "Dozens of warships can wipe out your entire army?" What a useless thing. ”

Yan Changhan said: "Your Majesty, the warship of the Tang Army is really too big, there are nine masts on board, and our warship is not anyone's opponent at all. ”

Wu Wangfu Yu Zhang's warship still understood, and when he heard that the Tang Dynasty's warship was so big, he was also a little stunned, and the other ministers were also a little frightened, so he had to ask: "What conditions did the Tang Dynasty people offer?" ”

Yan Changhan said: "First, let us hand over 300 people who participated in the Dengzhou pirate operation, and their identities must be real. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the ministers said, "Your Majesty, no, if you hand over these people, you will disappoint your subjects, and think that you cannot protect them, and it will be too detrimental to your prestige." ”

"yes, yes." The ministers said one after another.

"What else?" Wu Wangfu Yu Zhang asked.

Yan Changhan said: "Second, let us pay 5 million yuan of coins from the Tang Dynasty." In order to redeem the captured Baekje officers and soldiers, pay an additional 2 million kan. ”

"Huh? So much, huh? It's equivalent to more than half a year's treasury revenue. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said.

"What else? Say it all at once. Martial Wangfu Yu Zhang said angrily.

Yan Changhan said: "Give up jurisdiction over the country of Diera and recognize Jeju Island as the territory of the Tang Dynasty. That's all, no more. After speaking, he wiped the cold sweat from his head.

Yu Zhang, the husband of King Wu, was a hero, and under his rule, the Baekje Kingdom was now the most powerful period in history, and although the conditions of the Tang Dynasty were not too many, if they agreed to their conditions, it would be a huge blow to the prestige of King Wu.

In the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, there is a strange phenomenon that the common people speak Silla, while the ruling class of Baekje speaks Buyeo. King Mu's ancestors were Buyeo, who came to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and relied on eight nobles to establish Baekje Kingdom, and they once forced the people to learn Buyeo language, but they were strongly opposed by the people, so they fled to Silla one after another. Later, the king of Baekje saw that this was not the way to go, so he made a compromise and allowed the people to continue to use the Silla language, and they continued to speak Buyeo. This situation is similar to when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, allowing Han Chinese to continue to speak Chinese.

As Silla became stronger and stronger, the Silla Kingdom, which spoke the same language, had a stronger sense of identity with the people of Baekje. If the prestige of Yu Zhang, the husband of King Mu, is dealt a major blow, Silla will inevitably make a big fuss, and the ruling class of Baekje will face even greater challenges.

After discussion, Wu Wangfu Yu Zhang and the leaders of the eight nobles decided to fight the Tang army, repel the attack of the Tang army, and appointed Fu Yu Huai, the cousin of Wu Wangfu Yu Zhang, as the general.

Fuyu Huai believed that the Tang army had come from afar and carried insufficient logistical materials to stay at sea for a long time. Their land forces are not numerous, and a landing operation can completely repel them. Although the warships of the Tang army were tall, they had a deep draft and could not fight close to the shore.

According to these weaknesses of the Tang army, Buyeo Huai ordered all the warships of the naval division to sail into the estuaries of various rivers and rivers, or the coastal areas with many islands and reefs and complex terrain, so that the Tang army could not see and fight, and gave full play to the advantages of the Baekje naval division being familiar with the terrain to interfere with the landing operations of the Tang army.

The agreed time passed, and Baekje did not send people to reply to the conditions offered by the Tang Dynasty, but continued to mobilize troops to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army.

On the "Yangzhou", Liu Renliang reported to Li You and Cheng Yanjin about the movements of the Baekje people.

Cheng Yanjin was very angry, he said: "These Baekje people just owe a beating, if they don't hurt them, they won't be honest and obedient." ”

Li You said: "Su Guogong is right, since they are shameless, then they are giving them some color." ”
