Chapter 493: The Enemy Changes, I Change

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the Tang army captured Xinyou Port, and our naval division lost 6 warships."

"Your Majesty, the Tang army has washed Gancheng Town in blood, more than 300 of our people have been killed and wounded, and more than 80 women have been taken captive."

"Your Majesty, the Tang Army has set up a Jingguan in Gaoying Town."

"Your Majesty, the Tang Army is ......"

One of the ministers cried: "Now, a merchant ship in my house has been sunk by the Tang army, and my wife's sister has been taken away by the Tang army. Woo, please save them, Your Majesty. ”

"That's enough, shut up." Martial Wangfu Yu Zhang's face turned pale, and he roared loudly.

There was silence in the palace, except for the minister, who could not help but sobbed quietly.

King Wu pondered for a while, took a deep breath, and said, "What are your opinions?" ”

The prime minister (the official name is difficult to remember, the official name equivalent to the Tang Dynasty is used) said: "Your Majesty, this is not the way. Why don't we just agree to their terms? ”

Hubu Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, the minister has checked, in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the treasury has a large surplus, even if the expenses demanded by the Tang Dynasty are paid, the impact on the entire imperial court is not too great. However, if the conditions of the Tang Dynasty people are not agreed, if this continues, the losses caused will far exceed the expenses demanded by the Tang Dynasty people. The minister suggested agreeing to the conditions of the Tang Dynasty. ”

The general Fu Yuhuai said: "Your Majesty, no, the Tang Dynasty people have caused us such a big loss, if we give in like this, how can we explain to our subjects?" ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "General, what can you do if you don't give in? Can you beat the Tang Dynasty away? ”

A general said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be agreed to them, among the people who went to Dengzhou in the Tang Dynasty to participate in the robbery, many of them are officers and soldiers of our Baekje country, and handing them over will seriously affect the morale of our army." The Tang Dynasty people were so cruel, our army and people were very indignant, if they gave in to the Tang Dynasty people, it would be detrimental to the majesty of Your Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with the conditions agreed to the Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, the minister is against it."

The two factions are arguing.

Wu Wangfu Yu Zhang was a ruthless character, and after careful consideration, he said: "The people of the Tang Dynasty have bullied me too much, and I must not give in to them." From now on, I will show no mercy to anyone who dares to say that they will surrender to the Tang Dynasty. ”

As he spoke, he drew his sword and cut off one of the horns of several cases with one sword. This trick he made was based on Sun Quan's tricks in the Battle of Chibi in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he had read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" bought from the Tang Dynasty, and he liked this book very much.

The general said: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty people rely on their warships to be powerful, and they can invade our maritime frontier at will, which is indeed difficult to deal with. The minister had an idea that could force them to retreat. ”

King Wu said, "What do you have a good plan? Let's hear it. ”

The general said: "Among the so many incidents of wanton harassment of our country by the Tang Dynasty, there is one thing in common, that is, they dare not go deep into the depth of our Baekje country because they have few troops and do not dare to go deep into the interior of our country. They carry limited provisions, and it is impossible for them to stay at sea for long periods of time.

The minister's suggestion was to implement a strong wall and clear the wilderness on the seashore and force the Tang army to fight in depth with us. As long as he dares to enter my deep hinterland, I can gather a large army to encircle and annihilate them. If the main forces of their army are annihilated, they will inevitably retreat. If they don't dare to fight deep into our hinterland, and can't get the grain and grass of our Baekje country to replenish it, it won't be long before they will automatically retreat. ”

The ministers talked a lot, because Baekje is a coastal country, and they have many prosperous places along the sea, and if they implement the clear of the wall, the damage will be great.

Wu Wangfu Yu Zhang thought twice and made up his mind decisively. He said, "I, Baekje, am a country of heroes, and I must not give in to the Tang Dynasty, so I have decided to implement the practice of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness. ”

"The ministers obey." The ministers said together.

The landing and robbery operations for three consecutive days have achieved great results. Li You and the others were full of confidence, and they waited for Yu Zhang, the husband of the martial arts, to come and sue for peace.

Unexpectedly, from the fourth day, the landed Tang army found nothing, and the Baekje people near the sea were evacuated. The landing force of the 2nd Army of the Don Army encountered a counterattack by the Baekje army, killing and wounding more than a hundred people.

On the "Yangzhou", Li You and others held an operational meeting.

Cheng Yanjin said: "These Baekje people really have two hits, and there is nothing they can do for a while. ”

Wang Guoxiang was also a little depressed, and said: "Your Highness, why don't we enter their inland river, which is densely populated, where can they hide?" ”

Liu Renliang said: "It's not proper, their inland waterway is narrow, in case we go in, people get a few sunken ships to block the channel, we can't withdraw if we want to." ”

"It's not a way to go on like this, our food can't support it for that long. We don't have much food in the first place, and you have captured so many prisoners and opened so many mouths, so the food is even more scarce. Zhang Guigui said. He has always been angry that everyone did not carry out Li You's order to kill prisoners.

Li You said: "In the current situation, who has any countermeasures? ”

Xue Rengui said: "Lord Wang, what a big deal." Li You's usual optimistic attitude can always inspire everyone, and Xue Rengui appreciates him very much, and even his mantra has been learned.

Li You smiled: "Yes, what a big deal." ”

Xue Rengui said: "Lord Wang, we are running from the sea, and the depth we can enter is very small, but we can go ashore." We brought 800 war horses, and Jeju Island captured 3,000 war horses, with so many cavalry, where else can the Baekje people hide? ”

"Hahaha, how did I forget about this." Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.

After discussion, Li You and others drove the main force into Xinyou Port, and Xue Rengui led the army to land and establish a camp. The navy continued to blockade the waters of Baekje, and Wang Jue led part of the transport fleet to Jeju Island to transport war horses and grain.

The capital of Baekje is located in Baseong.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the county seat of Gwangju was attacked by the cavalry of the Tang Army and suffered heavy losses."

"Your Majesty, Xinhe Town has been sacked by the cavalry of the Tang Army."

Bad news followed.

The prime minister said: "Your Majesty, our territory is so big, the Tang Dynasty has cavalry troops, this wall is useless." When he said this, he didn't dare to say any more. Because Wu Wangfu Yu Zhang said first, whoever dared to surrender to the Tang army would be killed. But the subtext of his words can be understood by everyone.

The general Fuyu Huai was not discouraged, he said: "It's not that the strong wall is useless, on the contrary, this shows that the strong wall clear field has played a huge role. The Tang army occupied Xinyou Port, and their men and horses were concentrated there, so they could not invade other places. We can just concentrate our forces to fight it. ”

Wu Wangfu Yu Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, forcing the Tang army to concentrate in one direction is a big victory." General, you immediately mobilize a large army to Xinyou Port and annihilate those Tang troops who have landed. ”

Soon after, the general Fuyu Huai mobilized 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry and moved in the direction of Xinyougang.

Geumseong, the capital of Silla.

On this day, when Wang Houtce returned from a trip, an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Silla came to him and said, "Your Excellency Tang Envoy, Her Majesty the Queen of my family has summoned you, please come over to meet you." ”

Wang Xuance touched his head and said, "Oh, I suddenly have a headache and can't go." As he spoke, he walked to the bed, took off his shoes and lay down on the bed.

Officials of the Silla Ministry of Foreign Affairs knew that he was angry, because for so many days, Her Majesty had been pretending to be sick and not seeing him. He persuaded: "Lord Tang Envoy, it is rare for Her Majesty the Queen of my family to summon you, you should hurry over and don't upset Her Majesty the Queen of my family." ”

Wang Xuance said: "Didn't you see me sick? Then he closed his eyes and stopped talking to the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Silla. He knew in his heart that the reason why Queen Jindeman of Silla wanted to summon him was because His Royal Highness King Qi had annihilated the main naval force of Baekje and blockaded the waters of Baekje, and the powerful military power had already shocked the monarchs and ministers of Silla.

Wang Xuance must now take a handful and defeat the arrogance of the Silla people. 8)
