Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 144 Dispute
"Deputy General Jin, it seems that you haven't learned anything from Uncle Yu Xin these years?" Jin Renwen gently stroked the black panther's head, and the beast rested its head on its master's knee and beat it comfortably. Snoring, the strong tendons under the smooth fur are like flowing liquid, as if to warn everyone who dares to approach.

Jin Huicheng's flushed round face suddenly turned purple, he took a step forward subconsciously, and this action seemed to stimulate the black panther, it raised its head, and the pair of blue eyes stared at him vigilantly, Jin Huicheng hurriedly backed away, but didn't want to He stumbled and almost fell.

"You, you!" Jin Huicheng's anger went straight to his head: "Jin Ren asked, have you forgotten who you are? In order to please the people of Tang Dynasty and fight for the throne, you actually let tens of thousands of Silla people die, you are really crazy! "

As if sensing Jin Huicheng's hostility towards its master, the black panther stood up, opened its mouth slightly, and let out a deep roar from its throat. The faces of the bystanders suddenly changed, and they stepped aside to avoid being affected by the leopard's pounce. Unbearable, his legs softened and he sat on the ground, with his mouth open but unable to speak.

"Hwarang, sit down!" Jin Renwen shouted coldly, the panther looked back at its master, and sat down at Jin Renwen's feet obediently, everyone was relieved, and someone stepped forward to smooth things over: " Lieutenant general, it was your fault just now, hurry up and apologize to His Highness!"

"That's all!" Jin Renwen waved his hand: "Deputy General Jin, you are still not convinced, okay. I will make it clear today. If Uncle Yu Xin was with me, he would never leave him alone as you said. The Tang people withdrew their troops alone!"

The tent fell silent, under the intimidation of the black panther, no one dared to argue, but there was suspicion in their eyes: Although Jin Yuxin supported the alliance with Datang, his attitude towards Datang was soft on the outside and hard on the inside. Jin Yuxin's cousin, who has been a deputy for decades, is known for his diligence and diligence. How could a person like this criticize Jin Renwen, who is the king's younger brother and the commander-in-chief of the first army, without Jin Yuxin's prior instruction?

"If, as you said, the luggage is transported to the south of the Yangtze River first, then the army and the luggage will be separated on both sides of the river. If the Goguryeo people go down the river with fire boats from the upper reaches and burn down the pontoon bridge, wouldn't the army staying in the north of the river just sit and wait for hunger?" die?"

"How did you know the Goguryeo people would do this?"

"Of course I don't know if the Goguryeo people will do this, but crossing the river against the enemy is a taboo in the art of war. In fact, it is a matter of both ends for our army to kill the Tang people. The Goguryeo people's navy has been defeated by the Tang people. As long as we retreat to the river Near the mouth of the sea, the waters over there are wide, so naturally we don’t have to worry about the fire attack, and the navy of the Tang people can also protect our retreat.”

Jin Huicheng was stunned. He was originally a person with mediocre intelligence, and his only strength was prudence and reliability. Before he left this time, he was told by Jin Yuxin: Beware of Jin Renwen betraying the Silla people in order to please the Tang people. He risked his life to speak out, but he didn't want to be refuted by Jin Ren after a few words.He thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "You really won't betray us for the people of Tang?"

"Of course not!" Jin Ren asked with a smile: "Although I am a minister of the Tang Dynasty, Silla is the country of my parents. How can I abandon the country of my parents to please the people of Tang? As a hostage, I swore an oath to foreign ministers, so it’s not just about cutting off the heir? Could it be that the previous king also betrayed Silla?”

Jin Huicheng was dumbfounded. Jin Chunqiu, who had just passed away, contributed a lot to the rise of Silla, and he was regarded as a demigod in the eyes of everyone.And Jin Chunqiu's greatest achievement is to facilitate the covenant between Silla and Tang, and because Silla's strength is far weaker than that of Tang, and it is in a critical situation, the terms in the covenant are extremely harsh on Silla. Luo is a vassal state of Datang, and he also left his second son Jin Renwen as a hostage in Chang'an, which means that once Silla breaks the alliance, Datang can completely make Jin Inwen the king of Silla and tear the country apart .Compared with the concession made by Jin Chunqiu, the decision Jin Renwen made now is nothing at all.

"Since there is no objection, let's proceed according to the original plan! First send troops to attack the flanks of Goguryeo's pursuers, break them, and then go west along the north bank of the river and cross the river downstream!"

Seeing the generals leaving the tent, Wang Wenzuo's tense nerves finally relaxed. He squinted at Jin Ren and asked with a smile, "It seems that you don't need me. Just one mouth is enough to deal with them!"

"We've dealt with it this time, but it won't be the case next time!" Jin Renwen gave Wang Wenzuo a meaningful look: "Be prepared, right?"

"Of course, of course!" Wang Wenzuo smiled and said, "But I still have a question!"

"Say it!"

"Before the end of the future, the chief executive once asked me to obey all your orders!" Wang Wenzuo said in a deep voice, "People in Silla are very concerned about your experience in Tang Dynasty, but he doesn't care at all that you are the prince of Silla!"

The air in the tent suddenly froze, and the black panther seemed to feel it. It raised its head and let out a deep roar. Wang Wenzuo gritted his teeth and forced himself not to turn around and run away: "The general knows it's impolite to say this, but as a warrior, Before entrusting your life, you must first understand who to entrust to!"

"Hehe!" Jin Renwen laughed, and he patted the black panther's back lightly, calming down his pet again: "You're right, since you want to trust your life, naturally you have to get rid of it first." I have doubts in my heart. I can answer your question: If I lead the army to flee first, and the Tang army is defeated because of me fleeing first, what do you think will happen to Silla?"

"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty will be extremely furious. If one hundred thousand masters are lost, within ten years, the Tang Dynasty will be unable to look back!"

"Well, what do you think about Silla?"

"I understand!" At this point, Wang Wenzuo has fully understood that the war between the Tang army and Silla against Baekje broke the original balance of power in the peninsula, forcing Baekje to beg for help from the Japanese and introduce them into this situation. .And if the Tang army is frustrated and withdraws from the competition in the peninsula, then Silla will become the target of public criticism and besieged by the Japanese, Baekje, and Goguryeo, and its fate can be imagined.

"Lieutenant Wang, although you are not a high-ranking official, your brain is much stronger than the old man Jin Huicheng! Before destroying Goguryeo and defeating the Japanese, the goals of Datang and Silla are actually the same. Your Majesty and Chief Executive Su can see this clearly, I can see it clearly, my late father and Uncle Yu Xin can see it clearly, and you can see it clearly, but those short-sighted fools can't see it clearly!"
