The war began abruptly and ended more quickly, from beginning to end in a single day and one night, but the impact was enormous.

First of all, inside the Yan Kingdom, the entire high-level was completely boiling.

The entire army of the Navy Division was wiped out, and even the camp was burned, and the Yan Kingdom had not fought such a defeat for many years.

And the loss here is too great, so big that Yiyan's family is a little painful.

The point is that the loss is inexplicable, and it can even be said that I don't even know what to say, it's too humiliating.

Many people have spoken out to cure Mu Yugen's crimes, especially Murong Ping and others, who supported the war against the Tang State at the beginning, have the most resolute attitude, demanding that Mu Yugen be killed with military justice.

On the contrary, Murong Ke, Yang Que and others, who originally opposed the war with the Tang State, thought that this defeat was not a crime of war, and Mu Yugen had made great contributions to the Yan State, how could he kill him because of a failure.

If so, who will dare to fight for Yan in the future?

They also accused Murong Jun of having a problem with his policy and that he should not have done anything to Tang Guo in the first place. Even if you really want to do it, you shouldn't start a war without knowing it.

This kind of indifferent war is meaningless at all, and defeat is completely justified.

Murong Jun's face was like frost when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to cut Mu Yugen with a thousand knives. Do you have everything under control? That's the good news you're making me wait?

But his sanity was still there, and he didn't really do it, and looking back, there were too many doubts in this battle, and he desperately wanted to solve them.

After reading the battle report again, he said, "Let Mu Yugen come in and see me." ”

Immediately someone ran out to give the order.

Mu Yugen had been kneeling outside for more than four hours, and when he heard that Murong Jun was going to see him, he knew that his life had been saved, and the string in his heart was loosened.

Then he fell down in front of him.

The people around him hurriedly held him up, pinched and poured water, and it took a long time to wake him up.

After waking up, he struggled to see Murong Jun, but after kneeling for so long, how could he still stand up, and in the end, several people carried him to the palace.

"The guilty minister knocks before His Majesty." Mu Yugen struggled to kneel and bow, but his legs did not obey the call, and he did not kneel well for a long time, but fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Murong Jun already knew that he had fainted on his knees, and the anger in his heart had disappeared by six or seven points when he saw him so embarrassed at this moment, but he still pretended to be impatient and said:

"Okay, okay, you just sit honestly, lest others see me and say that I am abusing the minister."

Mu Yugen cried and said: "The criminal minister really has no such intention, please let Your Majesty calm his anger." ”

Murong Jun said with a gloomy face: "How can I not be angry? Do you know what the outside is saying about me now? ”

"The minister is guilty and has lived up to His Majesty's expectations, please punish Your Majesty."

"Do you think you'll be able to escape? But before I punish the crime, tell me what happened, and even if I lose, I will know where I lost. ”

Mu Yugen explained the situation at that time in detail, but he himself didn't know much.

Roughly discovered the caravan of the Tang Kingdom, and sent Cao Biao to lead the troops to intercept it on the way back, and the Tang caravan found that the goods were abnormally abandoned and fled, and Cao Biao went to chase them.

Then he lost news of Cao Biao and was attacked by an unknown enemy at night.

On the way to escape, I heard the enemy's conversation and realized that it was the Tang army that attacked them, and I also heard the news of the annihilation of Cao Biao's army.

After that, he was escorted by his guards to the garrison thirty miles away.

Because he didn't know the strength of the other party, he didn't dare to send troops easily, and by the time dawn passed, the enemy army had already withdrawn.

Moreover, the enemy also captured all the craftsmen and their families.

Hearing this, Murong Jun's anger surged up again, and he almost hacked him to death without drawing his sword.

Although he didn't know how to fight in the water or build a warship, it didn't prevent him from understanding the importance of craftsmen. Without these craftsmen, his idea of rebuilding the Sailor for revenge was completely shattered.

It may even affect his great cause of conquest of the Jin Kingdom in the south.

Thinking of this, I almost fainted without mentioning it in one breath.

Taking a deep breath to force himself to calm down, he asked, "That means you don't even know how many enemies there are?" ”

Mu Yugen looked ashamed and said: "I believe in Cao Biao's ability, and I also believe in the combat power of my Yan army, if Tang Guo wants to annihilate them, he must send several times more troops." ”

"From the fact that they still have the strength to launch a night attack, it can be inferred that the Tang State dispatched at least 30,000 troops in this battle."

"When I arrived that morning, I saw the warships of the Tang Kingdom, more than 100 of them. There were at least ten fifteen-zhang large ships, and the smallest warships were five or six zhang ......"

"From these ships, it can be seen that the sailors of the Tang State must be very powerful. Moreover, when they attacked the camp that night, they only sent out fifty cavalry, and it is likely that there were no cavalry in the country. ”

"Based on this, I speculate that the Tang State should be in the south, only the naval division has no cavalry, so it is impossible for them to pose a threat to us on land."

Murong Jun sneered: "You still need to say this, who can't guess?" ”

But the expression on his face looks a lot better.

Although the battle was lost, some useful information was finally obtained, and the most useful thing was, of course, the lack of cavalry.

At that time, people only saw the land and did not pay much attention to the sea, nor did they pay much attention to the threat from the sea.

In his opinion, as long as the Tang State could not threaten them on land, it was easy to say anything else.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked, "Have you noticed anything strange?" ”

Mu Yugen nodded approvingly and said, "Afterwards, the minister also thought about it, there are too many strange things about this matter. The first question is, how did Tang know that we were going to do something to their merchant ships? ”

"They also accurately grasped the movements of our army and knew where our main camp was located...... Even the place where the families of the craftsmen are housed knows about it......"

"We haven't revealed anything about Tang Guo's actions, only a few people know, how did the Tang people know about this information?"

Murong Jun bowed his head and said, "This is exactly what I want to ask, have you found anything abnormal these days?" Especially...... King Wu's side. ”

Mu Yugen was shocked, he knew that His Majesty was very jealous of his own brother Murong Chui, King Wu, but he didn't expect it to have reached this level.

Although he likes to figure out his intentions, he knows better that he will not be able to bring down King Wu by his own words, but will let himself fall into this dispute.

At that time, a bad one is likely to be broken bones, so even if he knew what the emperor meant, he still deliberately pretended not to know:

"The minister has no friendship with King Wu, how can he contact the minister."

Seeing that Murong Jun's face was gloomy, he hurriedly said, "The minister suspects that this matter has something to do with Baekje. ”

Murong Jun was stunned for a moment and said, "Baekje? ”

Seeing that his attention was diverted, Mu Yugen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Yes, Baekje, don't you think there are too many coincidences. ”
