Xiao Jing listened to Zhenyi's pleading, but still said unhurriedly: "A few months ago, when I came to Baekje from Stone Town, I passed by Tamna, and I saw that there were people from the Central Plains on the island who had bought a piece of land to reclaim wasteland and graze cattle and sheep. Therefore, I went to inquire out in curiosity, met with the leader of the group, and had a very happy conversation, so it can be regarded as some 'friendship'! ”

Zhen Yi looked at Xiao Jing excitedly, and said, "Since Brother Xiao knows the details of these people and has some 'friendship' with them, I also hope that Brother Xiao will save me from Baekje for the sake of his past relationship with me!" If I can reconcile the other party with my Baekje and don't come to attack, I should be grateful to Baekje! ”

Seeing that Zhen Yi was 'strong' on the road, Xiao Jinggu reluctantly agreed with a pretended embarrassment after a few difficult excuses.

Next, Xiao Jing, at the request of Zhen Yi, began to introduce the so-called details of the other party's island, and directly exaggerated Wang Ze's strength several times.

deliberately pretended to inadvertently reveal how majestic and mighty the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains people on the island were.

And Zhen Yi paid more and more attention to Xiao Jing, and after a general understanding of the situation, he hurriedly confessed and rushed to report to the king of Baekje.

The Baekje monarchs and ministers who heard the news were overjoyed when they heard Zhenyi's report, and immediately regarded Xiao Jing as their savior, and asked him to take Baekje's negotiation envoys to Jeju Island.

So this time, the Baekje envoys followed Xiao Jing's arrival.

Wang Ze listened carefully, and after Xiao Jing introduced the ins and outs of the matter, he was a little surprised, and asked, "Are you sure that the Baekje envoy is the nephew of the king of Baekje?" ”

Xiao Jing nodded affirmatively and said to Wang Ze: "Yes, Xiao Langjun, I have already inquired with Zhenyi before I came, and Zhenyi explained to me that the envoy of the mission is Fuyuwang, the son of the second disciple of Fuyuchang, the king of Baekje. He is also a very talented prince in Baekje! ”

When Wang Ze heard this, he nodded, this guy had a bad idea in his heart, so he ordered: "It's evening now, and it is inconvenient to welcome the Baekje mission, so let the Baekje envoy get off the ship tomorrow!" ”

Then he summoned Jiang Chuan, Zhou Tong, Zheng Kui and his second uncle Cheng Chong and others, and after 'handing' them to each other, they prepared to go.

On the boat, the anxious Fuyu Wang, who had been waiting for Xiao Jing for a long time, was helpless when he heard Wang Ze's order conveyed by Xiao Jing, so he had to stay on the ship for another night.

Early in the morning of the second day, Buyeo Wang got up early, and the left and right entourages had been arranged, so he prepared to get off the boat and fight with the other party.

Fuyu Wang thought in his heart that anyway, Mr. Xiao was familiar with the other party, and for Mr. Xiao's sake, there should be no danger.

The king of Baekje, Fu Yu Chang, thought the same in his heart, so he appointed his nephew Fu Yu Wang as the chief envoy to negotiate with Wang Ze and others.

When Buyeo Wang returns, he will be vigorously promoted, so as to increase the power of the royal family to balance the eight major families.

Fuyu Wang thought in his heart, and was about to get off the boat, when he heard the sonorous footsteps and the impact of weapons in the distance, he suddenly didn't dare to get off the boat, thinking that it should be the other party who repented and wanted to kill himself and others!

After a while, thousands of 'elite' soldiers in armor and armed with sharp blades arrived at the port dock and lined up.

Just when Buyeo Wang hesitated, he heard a voice coming: "Lord Buyeo, General Wang has already sent soldiers to welcome you ashore, why don't you come down yet!" ”

Fuyu Wang followed the voice and looked over, it turned out to be Xiao Jing, hurriedly walked over, and complained to Xiao Jing: "Mr. Xiao, you are here, these soldiers were fierce and vicious just now, no matter how you look at it, they don't look like they came to greet me, I thought they were here to ask for my 'life'." ”

Later, Buyeo Wang and Baekje Shituan and others, accompanied by Xiao Jing, came to the dock, only to see thousands of soldiers lined up on both sides of the road ahead, all of them mighty and majestic, and they were indeed strong soldiers.

Look at the armor on these soldiers, although it looks like leather armor, but there are many important points and steel armor.

Looking at the strict military formation, Buyeo Wang was envious, although Baekje is a strong country, the armor rate of the soldiers is less than ten percent.

Buyeo Wang didn't know that only the front row of those soldiers were 'elite' soldiers, and the back were just militia young men who had been trained for a period of time.

Out of the dock, Fuyu looked left and right, and saw several military camps nearby, only to see that the soldiers inside were also 'fine' in armor and high morale, and they couldn't help but become more and more dignified.

Along the way, Fuyu looked full of thoughts, and when he came to the lobby where Wang Ze and the others were, Zhou Tong led 500 people from the ironclad battalion to line up on both sides.

Looking at the past, all of them were big men about 1.8 meters tall, all holding shiny swords with shiny swords, staring at the Baekje Mission with fierce eyes.

These murderous butchers had just experienced a few major battles, and it was the time when the murderous spirit was at its peak, and they didn't dare to come forward to see a group of people from the Baekje Mission.

Buyeo Wang was quite better, but there was a deputy envoy behind him who was directly scared of 'urine', and even Buyeo Wang couldn't help but shake his head. Fortunately, at this time, a voice came from the hall: "Please invite the Baekje envoys to speak in the hall!" ”

Zhou Tong and the others stopped staring at these poor people, but the sword in their hands remained the same, not moving at all, Fu Yuwang thought about it, and walked in with his head down as soon as he stomped his feet.

"I don't know the general, why did you attack my Baekje vassal state Tamna without authorization?" As soon as he entered the house, Fuyu Wang raised some courage, which made Wang Ze appreciate it a little.

So Wang Ze said what he had said to Fuyu Rong and to Fuyu Wang again.

Then he said to Buyeo Wang: "Now that Tamna is a place watered by the blood of our people, it is impossible to give it up again." ”

Buyeo Wang himself also knew about Tamna, and the wood was already in the boat, and it was already irretrievable, so he got off the donkey down the slope and said: "Since the matter of Tamna is the responsibility of the Lord of Tamna and the prince, I, Baekje, will no longer dwell on this matter, but I hope that the general will release the captured soldiers!" I, Baekje, would like to reconcile with you! ”

Wang Ze pretended to ponder, and only after half a burnt of incense did he continue to speak: "If Baekje is friendly with me, it will be possible, but those soldiers want Baekje to redeem it with cattle and sheep grain!" ”

When Buyeo Wang heard that those soldiers could be redeemed, he immediately agreed, saying, "According to the general's words, I, Baekje, will redeem the soldiers, but can I add to the covenant to fight with me Baekje against the Silla Wa Kingdom?" Silla and the Wa Kingdom have always been eyeing Tamna, so you and I can protect ourselves by joining forces! ”

Wang Ze thought to himself, your guy finally brought it up by himself, if you don't mention it again, I'll have to say it myself, won't it take much advantage?

So Wang Ze said to Buyeo Wang: "What Brother Buyeo said is very much in line with me, if there is a war between our side and the Wa Kingdom in the future, Baekje must attack against Silla so that it cannot reinforce the Wa State. And if Baekje is at war with Silla, it will be convenient for me to stop the Japanese kingdom from reinforcing Silla at sea! What do you think of this? ”。

"What the general said is extremely true, but the alliance still needs to be carefully discussed by us, and then approved by the king, but I will convey Lang Jun's intention to my king as soon as possible!" When Fuyu Wang heard that Wang Ze had agreed to form an alliance, he was also overjoyed.

Then he asked Wang Ze again: "A few years ago, my third uncle Fu Yu Shun's son Fu Yu Rong came to assist Prince Tamna on the order of my king, but now he has fallen into the hands of the general?" I also hope that the general will let him go back to Baekje, and I, Baekje, am willing to pay money to redeem him! ”

Of course, Wang Ze agreed without an opinion on this point, a Fuyu Rong can exchange a lot of cattle and sheep grain, but it can't be 'wasted' in his hands.

On the day after the negotiation with Wang Ze, Buyeo Wang took a fast boat sent by Wang Ze and returned to Sihyeongseong, the capital of Baekje.

When facing Buyeo Chang, Buyeo Wang immediately said that Wang Ze agreed to conclude an alliance, which was the result of his own efforts, and was praised by the king of Baekje.

Fuyu Chang asked Fuyu Wang: "I don't know how many people and horses there are on that island?" How strong is it? ”

So Buyeo wanted to report what he had observed on the island.

According to Buyeo Wang's statement, it is roughly estimated that there are at least more than 10,000 infantry on Tamna Island, and most of them are "elite" elite infantry wearing "fine" armor.

There were three or four thousand cavalrymen wearing full armor, and there were hundreds of ships of all sizes on the side of the sailors.

In fact, Buyeo Wang didn't know that most of the hundreds of ships of the sailors were captured Baekje warships, and there were hundreds of ships, but Wang Ze did not have a sufficient number of sailors to drive these ships.

Of the tens of thousands of infantry, only the soldiers are nearby, and the barracks in the distance are basically played by some ordinary young people who have been trained.

The number of thousands of cavalry is also constantly changing banners, changing clothes and appearances, which makes Fuyu Wang and others have a delusion.

Fuyeo Wang reported what he had seen and heard on the island to the king of Baekje, Buyeo Chang, and Buyeo Chang and the important ministers who were listening below took a big breath.

If Buyeo Wang's statement is true, then the strength of the other party is really very strong, such a force may not be anything in the Central Plains, but it is already a very powerful force in the East China Sea region.

If you want to defeat the opponent and drive them away, unless Baekje sends the troops of the whole country to go, it will only be a difference between victory and defeat.

Fortunately, we have already made peace, and the Baekje monarchs and ministers can't help but rejoice that they still trust Buyeo Wang, after all, Buyeo Wang is not only the nephew of the Baekje King, but also has a reputation for being virtuous in China.

In the following days, even when Wang Ze and others on the island were celebrating the New Year, Buyeo Wang did not rest, and went back and forth between Jeju Island and Sihyeon City more than a dozen times, and Baekje finally reached a preliminary agreement with Wang Ze to negotiate.

Buyeo Rong, who had been captive for several months, finally met his relatives for the first time and prepared to return to Baekje with Buyeo Wang.

The black-toothed Mozhi, who was captured before, was only let go on the day Wang Ze and Gao Canghai fought, which can be regarded as fulfilling Wang Ze's promise, but now he doesn't know where to go.

After several successive talks, finally on the 20th day of the second month of the 'spring' of the ninth year of Tianbao (558 AD), the two sides signed a covenant:

1. Baekje and Wangze coexist peacefully and are not allowed to attack each other.

2. Baekje recognizes the absolute sovereignty of Wang Ze's side over Jeju Island (i.e., Tamna Island) and must not support the so-called restoration of the Tamna royal family.

3. Baekje will never send warships to the 100-mile sea area of Jeju Island without the permission of the economic island. Otherwise, sink immediately.

4. The two sides signed an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly oppose the military alliance between Silla and the Japanese state.

5. Wang Ze's side sold a batch of 'fine' weapons to the king of Baekje at a relatively favorable price.

6. Nearly 3,000 prisoners of war were returned to Baekje, and Baekje provided a large number of cattle, sheep, and grain to its allies.

After signing the covenant, Wang Ze suddenly asked Buyeo Wang: "Brother Buyeo, when you attacked Silla before, what about those Silla people in those villages and towns you passed by?" ”

"Of course it's the one who deserves to be killed, what else can I do?" Buyeo looked at it, the question you asked was so strange.

Wang Ze criticized with regret: "How can you be so 'wasteful'! What a good labor, what a good maid 'girl', next time you attack Silla, grab more Silla young 'women', I will buy them at a high price, and use the best silk, woolen wool, cloth to exchange with you, and even the swords, guns and weapons in the army can also be exchanged! ”

When Buyeo Wang heard this, his eyes lit up!
