Chapter 279 [Conquest of the World]

Since then, Su Dingfang has completed the unprecedented great feat of "destroying the Three Kingdoms before and after, and capturing their masters alive"! No one can surpass it! Su Dingfang can return to the National Day to be rewarded, but the Tang army who stayed in Baekje is not having a very good time, not only is it not good, but it is also very difficult!

Baekje is dead, but there is a problem that has not been clarified, and you may not be concerned, but I still want to point it out. The question is, 'Is the crown prince at the time of Baekje's demise of Buyeo Hyoyo or Buyeo Ryu'.

Since I want to write with my heart and everyone to watch it with my heart, let's try not to leave any doubts. In the historical records of Japan and abroad, there are discrepancies in the historical records of who the last prince of Baekje was, and even if it is the same historical book, there are discrepancies before and after, which confuses me. The reason why this question was not raised in the previous article is also out of fear of confusing everyone.

In this way, I would like to take out all the records on this issue in various historical materials here, and analyze them together! 1 As for this problem, I have analyzed it from many angles (in fact, there is no angle, because it is very messy), but in the end I can't analyze it, maybe it may just be a mistake recorded by Jin Fushi alone.

Although I can't be sure which of them is the crown prince, we can be sure of their current identities - they are all prisoners of war of the Tang Dynasty, and there is almost no record of Fuyu Xiao after this. In 664, after the failure of the restoration movement of the remnants of Baekje, Buyeo was appointed as the governor of the Xiongjin Prefecture by Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

Continue to govern his Baekje homeland, although he didn't dare to take office in the end! Okay, the country is dead, and there's no point in fighting for who is the prince, so let's cut to the chase. This time, our eyes are going to be farther away, and we will fall directly on the Wa Kingdom!

In September 660 AD, the Wa State, the capital of Yamato Prefecture (neither the old nor the new Tang Dynasty books explicitly named the location of the capital of the Wa Kingdom, but it is recorded that the Wa Kingdom first took Zhuzi City as the political center, and then migrated to govern Yamato Prefecture. )

A man hurried to the palace. He presented a recital to Emperor Qi Myeong, who was the king of Wa at the time, and the original Baekje Erpinda led Shami Juecong, and the full text of the recital reads: "In July of this year, Silla made a strong stride. Don't be close to your neighbors, lead the Tang people, and overthrow Baekje! The total prisoner of the monarch and the minister, slightly chewless ('leaving no live mouth' meaning)!

As a result, the western Eun rate (Baekje Sanpin official) Onimuro Fukunobu was furious. According to Ren Sheqishan (the Wa State called Ren Cuncheng as Ren Sheqishan), Da rate (Baekje Erpin official) Yu Zijin according to the middle road Jiuma Nuli City, each battalion one, lured to gather scattered soldiers, the soldiers exhausted the front service, so to 棓 (bàng gather the meaning of gathering) battle, the Silla army was broken, Baekje captured its soldiers, and then the Baekje soldiers were sharp, and the Tang did not dare to enter. Fuxin and other doves (meaning 'gathering') with the country, to protect the royal city, the people of the country respectfully said, 'Zuo Ping Fuxin, Zuo Ping self-advance!' 'Only the blessing believes in the power of the gods and martial arts, and the country of forgetfulness is prospered. ”

I won't translate this passage in detail, to the effect that Silla united with the Tang Dynasty to destroy Baekje, and the remnants of Baekje continued to gather men and horses in various places to oppose the Tang Dynasty and defeat the crusading armies of Silla and the Tang Dynasty. According to the Chinese, this is good news! Why did you send it to the Wa Kingdom?

What's going on here? Soon the answer will be available! In October 660, another Sahei Takachi from Baekje came to the Wa Kingdom. This time, the visitor did not make a detour, and directly said to Emperor Qi Ming of the Wa Kingdom: "The Tang people led me to be a thief, to shake my territory and overthrow my society." Capture my king.

And the Baekje Kingdom relied on the emperor's protection, and even (again) the dove gathered to form a state, and Fang Jin sincerely wished to welcome the Baekje country to send the *** prince Fengzhang (Baekje prince Buyeo Feng who was a hostage in the Wa country) to be the lord of the country! "Now I understand, this is the remnants of Baekje who have come to rescue the soldiers. And I hope to bring back the prince Fuyufeng, who was a hostage in the Wa Kingdom. Gather the remnants of Baekje in the name of Buyeo Feng in order to restore the country!

So what's going on with this qiē? The king of Baekje has fallen, the state of Baekje has died, and the main force of the Tang army has returned home. What the hell is going on here? How did the envoys of Baekje run away to the Wa Kingdom? Who is Fuxin? Who is Buyeo Feng? How did Baekje call Wawang the Emperor? …… In fact, this qiē question is all because of "the re-inflammation of the embers of Baekje"

The embers of Baekje were revived, and the Tang Dynasty pacified Baekje, adopting the strategy of a tiger digging out the heart, that is, a long-distance attack, directly along the river into the hinterland of Baekje, and troops approached the capital city of Sihyun, forcing the royal family to surrender. However, in history, after every country was destroyed for whatever reason, there were always some remnants of the former dynasties who were unwilling to die and continued to organize resistance in various places in a vain attempt to restore the country.

Baekje was no exception, and after the royal surrender, many local armed forces also appeared in various places, gathering the remnants of the forces, raising the anti-Tang banner, in a vain attempt to expel the Tang army from Baekje. Some of the anti-Tang forces recorded in the annals of history have a total of these, everyone is interested in taking a look, and if they are not interested, they jump directly over, because these forces have shown their faces in history and have not set off much storm, but they have suffered from the Japanese kingdom and blindly participated in the cooperation, and as a result, they have left the reputation of "the first war between China and Japan in history" and the annihilation of the whole army!

The main rebel forces were: Fuxin (then the nephew of Sanpin Enlu and Fuyu Yici) and Daochen (monk) who gathered in Zhouliucheng; Occupy the black tooth Changzhi of Ren Cun Mountain (when he was the second grade of the rate and the general of the Fengda County. This person is an exception, and will appear many times in the future) is similar to Shazha; Yu Zijin, who occupied Zhenhyeon Castle (at the time, it was the second grade rate); the late acceptance of the occupancy of the city of Rencun; Shotake who occupied the original mountain of the bean corpse (at the time of the first product of Zuoping); …… The territory of Baekje was surging for a while! And what about the Tang army at this time? When the governor Su Dingfang returned to China, he left only 10,000 Tang soldiers for the Lang general Liu Inyuan, and asked him to guard the former capital of Baekje, Sihyunseong, and in addition, he allocated 7,000 Silla troops led by Kim In-tae, the prince of Silla, to assist him. That's all!

For a Baekje that once had a population of 760,000 households, it was not enough to keep this little force, but it could only give so much, because the Tang Dynasty had been very busy lately: in May 660 (two months before the death of Baekje), the Tang army crusaded against Xi and Khitan; In September 660 (two months after the death of Baekje), the Tang army attacked Tiele; In December 660 (five months after the death of Baekje), the Tang army attacked Goguryeo; In October 661 (more than a year after the death of Baekje), the Tang army crusaded against the Hui Hui; …… Several famous generals we just met, such as Qibi He Li, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, etc., all led troops to fight in the above military operations. So who did Datang leave to Baekje?

After all, this is a country that once had one-fifth of the Tang Dynasty and was far away from the mainland, and a capable general must be sent to guard here, otherwise, all the achievements will be wasted! Rest assured, there has never been a shortage of capable people in China! Then we will get to know them, and I believe that the Wa Kingdom also has a deep memory of them!

Okay, let's go back and see the blessing letter in the mouth of the Baekje envoy who went to the Wa Kingdom, which is the ghost room blessing letter. Although there is no biography of this person in the history books, there is still a lot of ink.

This Fushin and Dochen raised the banner of Baekje in Zhouliuseong, and at the same time sent an envoy to the Wa Kingdom to invite back the Baekje prince Buyeo-bong, who was a hostage there, and planned to establish the Baekje royal family again. to counter the Tang Army, so as to finally restore the country!

If you want to restore the country, you must first drive away or annihilate the Tang army in the territory. Onimuro Fukushin was lucky that he didn't need to look for the Tang army everywhere, and all the Tang troops in Baekje were all stationed in Sihyeongseong, the former capital of Baekje! Thereupon. Onimuro Fushin came with the rebels.

This person has never fought with the Tang army, he doesn't know the depth, he opened the formation when he came, but he was attacked by the Tang army, he was scared, and he knew that the consequences of a direct confrontation with the Tang army were very strict, so he began to build a fence along the city of Siyu, planning to have a long-term siege! The Tang army could only watch the rebels build a fence outside the city, there was no way, there were too few troops. In defensive warfare, it is impossible to send all the troops in the city, and most of them have to be left behind.

It's okay to attack, but it can only be a small group of people who go out to harass, except for scaring the enemy, it won't have much effect! Although there are still 7,000 Silla troops in the city, you can't expect too much from them! Datang is now fighting on multiple fronts such as the northeast, north, and northwest, and cannot send reinforcements for the time being, so he ordered Silla to quickly send troops to rescue Liu Renyuan!

Silla did not hesitate, and the new king of Silla, Kim Famin, after receiving an order from the Tang Dynasty. personally led troops to the rescue, but the combat effectiveness of the Silla army is also relatively clear to everyone, and it was almost not defeated at the beginning of 50,000 and 5,000 in Huangshanyuan, and it was barely won after paying the sons of two generals. From September 660, when Sihyun was besieged. Until March 661, it was difficult to break through the rebels' defensive line, let alone march to Sihyeon, and even enter Baekje again.

In 661, the Tang Dynasty found that Silla could not be counted on, so he personally sent a reinforcement - "Scholar General" Liu Renliang! On the military side. Liu Renliang didn't leave us any achievements before, and he won't leave too much for us in the future, but in government affairs, he is not simple! There is a celebrity, in two positions, both of whom are his successors, one is Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Sanpin, and the other is the governor of Bingzhou, this celebrity is Detective Di Renjie!

Scholar General Liu Renliang Resume Name: Liu Renliang Character: Regular Nationality: Han Ancestral Hometown: Bianzhou (now Kaifeng) Year of birth and death: A.D. 601-685 Career Resume: About 20, because of his good literary talent, he changed a letter for his boss and was awarded Xizhou to join the army and Chen Cangwei; Because of his advice to Taizong, he was awarded the Xianyang Order; Later, he was appointed to the new security order and gave the matter; 659, Qingzhou Thorn History; In 660, he was dismissed because he was framed by Li Yifu; In 661 (now), the inspection school (the meaning of the agent) led the Fangzhou Assassin Shi and led the troops to support Liu Renyuan; …… Main achievements: To be honest, there are almost no bright spots, that is, a letter has been changed and a word has been admonished. Last year (660), I finally had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but I was framed by Li Yifu, and the director was dismissed!

(Specifically, when the Tang Dynasty set out to conquer Baekje, Liu Renliang was responsible for escorting grain and grass by sea, and there was a typhoon at sea at that time, and the fleet could not set off, but he offended Zhongshuling (Prime Minister) Li Yifu, and in order to frame him, Li Yifu forced him to sail immediately, and the guide zhì ship was destroyed and killed, and he was dismissed.) Liu Renliang had never led a soldier before, but he had read a lot of books, fortunately, he was not the kind of nerd, and he knew "the unity of knowledge and action" when he was a child.

Let's take a look at what is recorded in the history books of the first appearance of this scholar general: "The generals of Renliang are strictly organized, turn into battle, and move forward." ""Turn the fight forward, the army is clean, and everything goes down" "The imperial army is strictly organized, turn the fight and move forward, and everything goes down" - "Turn the fight and fall into battle, and there is no way forward"...... Who said that useless is a scholar? Knowledge is power! As mentioned earlier, the reinforcements sent by Datang are Liu Renliang alone, what's going on? Again: Datang is busy!

But you can't get out of the siege alone? It's okay, isn't there Silla, the Silla army is very weak in combat, and there is a reason for that, and the reason is that "there will be a nest of bears". There is a fable: a wolf leading a flock of sheep can defeat a pack of wolves led by a sheep! Got it! Datang sent a wolf to the Silla army. Liu Renliang parachuted into Silla and set off with the Silla army and some of the Tang troops stranded here.

Here, his brilliant career will begin! Liu Renliang's strategy: In March 661 AD, Liu Renliang set out with an unknown number of Tang Luo coalition troops (said to be a coalition army, but the actual number of Tang troops was very small, because many historical sources directly recorded that "Ren Liang sent Silla soldiers to rescue" and the like). Under the fortress of Sihyun, in Baekje, in land battles, in naval battles, and so on, this scholar general will show his extraordinary military talents.

As one of the main initiators of the Baekje Restoration Movement, Onimuro Fukunobu left a glorious record in Korean history such as "national hero" and "famous general", this person is still relatively familiar with the art of war, and is also good at using soldiers! In order to take Sihyun Fortress and drive the Tang army out of Baekje, Onimuro Fukushin made complete preparations. How do I defeat the defenders of the city? How do I repel reinforcements from outside the city? He took both into account.

As for the defenders in the city, I mentioned earlier that the long-term siege strategy adopted by the ghost room Fushin. For reinforcements outside the city, this is a bit difficult, after all, Baekje is definitely not the opponent of the Tangluo coalition army in the field.

Therefore, the ghost room Fuxin decided to build two camps with the back of the Baijiang River, deep ditch barriers, which can be attacked and defended. There's a term for this in the art of war: Fight on your back! Either desperately repel the enemy army, or fall into the river and drown! Very good! The battle against the odds has always been a winning strategy to win more with less, and to defeat the strong with the weak! It has been used by many famous generals in history! It seems that Fushinobu Onimuro is determined to fight to the death with the rebels.

The coalition forces of the Don Army will encounter a fierce battle! Even if the coalition forces can win, they will pay a heavy price! According to my narrative style, at this time, there will definitely be people who will stand up against the ghost room Fushin doing this, so that the Tang army can take advantage of it and win easily.

However, this time it was going to disappoint everyone, and this time there was no objection. Is the Tang Army really going through a vicious and bloody battle? The answer is: no! Although no one objected, Onimuro Fushin did something of his own. (To be continued.) )
