Chapter 310: Domineering Wang Xuance
Wang Xuance said: "Prime Minister, is it interesting for your country to do this? In the past, we discussed sending troops to Goguryeo, but you said that we would wait until the Tang army crossed the Yalu River before sending troops to Goguryeo. We have acceded to your request in consideration of your concerns and difficulties.
Now, the Don army has crossed the Yalu River and hit near Pyongyang. Silla has already sent troops as agreed. But you are still holding back here. What does that mean exactly? ”
Peng Tong, the prime minister of Baekje, said with a smiling face: "My king has already gone to transfer troops, we have our difficulties, and my king is sincere." We have done our best to send troops in the near future.
I hope that your envoy will wait patiently for a while. ”
Wang Xuance said angrily: "At the beginning, the three of us had an agreement. After such a long time, your country should be prepared for any difficulties.
Silla has sent troops as agreed, but you are still delaying. I can only think that you Baekje are not sincere. ”
Peng Tong said: "This is not the case, we were already prepared. Recently, however, there has been a slight change in our country. So, we're going to make some adjustments. I look forward to your understanding. ”
Wang Xuance said: "The joint dispatch of troops is a military operation, how can it be said that change will change? Since your country is not sincere, then I will take my leave. Go back and tell me His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
It doesn't matter if you send troops or not. I, the Tang Dynasty, have a million heroes, and without your Baekje participation, we can defeat Goguryeo. Farewell. ”
After speaking, Wang Xuance arched his hand at Peng Tong, turned around and left.
Prime Minister Peng Tong didn't expect that Wang Xuance's personality was so impatient, and he didn't have the patience and bearing that an envoy should have.
He couldn't make up his mind, so he said, "Your Excellency, please stay." Do you think that's good? I will go and ask my king at once. If there is anything you can do with my king face to face? Otherwise, I would not be able to account for it. ”
Wang Xuance said: "Okay, you go to your king now." I'm just waiting here, and at three o'clock this afternoon, if I don't see your king, I'll leave Baekje immediately. ”
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Prime Minister Peng Tong personally came over to inform Wang Xuance. As soon as he saw Wang Xuance, he said, "Your Excellency, His Majesty the King of my family has returned. What's the situation, you and my majesty the king talk face to face. ”
Wang Xuance was tired of his heart. He was thinking, "Baekje is so discredited, and there is absolutely no hope for cooperation on the battlefield in the future." Maybe they will betray them at a critical time. ”
However, Wang Xiance thought that it was still necessary to meet with the king of Baekje.
Soon after, Wang met with the king of Baekje and his ministers.
Wang Xuance stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Tang Dynasty envoy Wang Xuance, see His Majesty the King." ”
The king of Baekje, Fuyu Yici, said, "Your Excellency, are you still used to coming to live in my Baekje?" ”
Wang Xuance didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, so he asked directly: "When will you send troops, king?" ”
The Baekje King Fuyu Yici was embarrassed, and he said, "Your Excellency, we were already ready to send troops. But something went wrong in my country.
Although it is inconvenient to publicize the ugliness of the family, we are not afraid of the jokes of your envoys, and a tribal leader in our country is afraid of rebellion, and we have just suppressed him. It will take a little bit of time to readjust the troops. Thank you for your understanding. ”
Wang Xuance laughed and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, you can adjust slowly." Farewell! ”
With that, he bowed, turned and left. The king of Baekje, Fuyu Yici, gave Prime Minister Peng Tong a look.
Prime Minister Peng Tong hurriedly stopped Wang Xuance and said, "Your Excellency, please stay, there is something to discuss." ”
Wang Xuance said directly: "There is nothing to discuss. Just give me a good word, can you send troops today? If you can't send troops, don't talk nonsense, I have a million Tang Dynasty heroes, and I don't have any troops like you. ”
Baekje King Fuyu Yici was a little embarrassed, and he was just about to speak. The Baekje general, Luo Mingming, said: "Bold, you are just an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and you dare to speak to my majesty the king like this. ”
Wang Xuance didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said directly to the king of Baekje, Fuyu Yici; "Your Majesty, can you give me a good word today?"
Luo Mingzhi was dismissed and was very angry, and he shouted loudly: "Bold and fanatical, dare to be unreasonable to my king." Come on, take him down for me! ”
Several former samurai of the Baekje Hall came up to arrest Wang Xuance.
Wang Xuance laughed and said, "Thank you so much! I'm worried that I can't explain it to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, thank you for it! ”
Then he said to the warriors, "Don't push Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will go by himself!" So saying, he walked out of the main hall.
The king of Baekje, Buyeo Yici, did not have the courage to kill the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. He shouted: "Presumptuous, you all step down for me!" ”
The warriors let go of Wang Xuance.
The king of Baekje, Fuyu Yici, accompanied him with a smile and said, "Your Excellency, please don't be angry, we have something to discuss." ”
Wang Xuance said disdainfully: "What is there to discuss?" Just give me a good word, can you send troops today? ”
The king of Baekje knew the identity of Wang Xuance, and knew that he was just a small seven-rank envoy. However, Wang Xuance was so arrogant.
Although Fuyu Yici was annoyed, he didn't dare to attack. Because behind Wang Xuance stood the powerful Tang Empire.
Buyeo Yoshiki originally planned to wait until the war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo and the decisive battle in the Pyongyang area was over, and then see which direction the wind went.
He saw that it really couldn't be delayed. He pondered for a while and felt that between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty had a better chance of winning. So, he decided to send troops.
His idea was that I would send troops to Baekje, but in battle, it depended on the situation. I couldn't fight hard with Goguryeo and lost my strength.
So he said, "Your Excellency, my Baekje country is sincere. At six o'clock this afternoon, we will send troops to attack Goguryeo. I would like to ask your Excellency to attend the departure ceremony. ”
For Wang Xuance, he didn't believe in the sincerity of Fuyu Yici at all. He also knew that on the battlefield, he could not count on the king of Baekje. However, as long as Baekje sent troops, it would put pressure on Goguryeo. At least a part of Goguryeo's forces can be contained.
Wang Xuance then said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will report the sincerity of your country to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Wang Xuance has something to say, what he means is that you can do it yourself. All your actions, I, Wang Xuance, know in my heart.
From this moment on, Wang Xuance did not leave the Baekje king Fuyu Yici, and always supervised them to hold the military dispatch ceremony. And follow the army of Baekje and go out together. Until they were seen crossing the border.
Next, Wang Xuance reported to His Majesty the Tang Emperor about Baekje's troops, reminding Li Shimin not to trust Baekje's army, and at the same time continuing to stay in Baekje's army and monitor their movements.
Silla's dispatch of troops put a lot of pressure on Goguryeo. Baekje sent troops to attack Goguryeo, and Goguryeo also had to send a part of its troops to meet the battle. Goguryeo was attacked on both sides, and in the face of the four-nation coalition, the pressure was extremely great.
At this moment, Hou Junji's army was sailing the sea.
