Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 485: With morale high, why should Goryeo fear the Tang Dynasty?
When everyone learned the attitude of the King of Silla from Xue Yuanchao, there was no surprise and no hesitation. That afternoon, the army set out and headed straight for Goryeo.

but.

If you go north from Japan to Goryeo, you naturally have to pass through the waters of Silla.

This is inevitable.

As for what specific measures the King of Silla will take, we will have to wait and see.

On the boat.

Li Jingheng and others have already performed their respective duties.

Su Chen stood on the deck, looking at the coastline in the distance with great anticipation.

Will Kim Jin-deok, the King of Silla, who was named the Prince of Lelang by two retired emperors, give them a big surprise on the sea?

however.

What made Su Chen a little regretful was that the King of Silla did not prepare any surprises for them.

Even near the waters of Silla, there were no cargo ships or fishing boats. It seemed that the coastal people in Silla had received an order from the King of Silla, forbidding them to go out to sea.

The sea was calm.

"Your Majesty, we are about to sail out of Silla waters."

"Then speed it up."

Su Chen said calmly, "The King of Silla is not ready to have friendly exchanges with us, and there is no point in staying in his waters."

Sun Qiang nodded happily.

Subsequently.

The flag signals spread among the ships.

Hundreds of warships sailed towards the Goryeo waters in a mighty manner.

……

Open Beijing.

The capital of the Goryeo Dynasty.

Kaifeng, which should have been bustling with a large number of pedestrians and business travelers coming in and out, now has a feeling of panic.

Most of the people coming and going were postmen from various places, riding their horses at a rapid speed.

"Report!"

"Urgent report!"

"Get out of the way!"

A postman ran straight to the palace at an extremely fast speed.

All the Goryeo officials, who had already learned of the Tang's military expedition, gathered together. As the postmen walked in one by one to report the movements of the Tang army, the hall was dead silent.

King Rongliu had a blank expression on his face. His eyes swept over the ministers below one by one, and then fell on Quan Gaisuwen.

These pieces of news about the Tang army did not seem to make him feel much pressure.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, we have discovered traces of the Tang navy in Quanjing, and the county lieutenant Jin Wucheng has dispatched 800 soldiers to the coastal checkpoints!"

Tang Army Navy.

King Rongliu's expression became more serious.

Although they have not yet come into contact with the Tang Dynasty's navy, the Japanese navy had fought a fierce battle with the Tang Dynasty's navy on the sea before.

As for the result, it is naturally chilling.

Can Goryeo's navy withstand the Tang Dynasty's navy?

King Rongliu lacked confidence, and it was for this reason that he felt uneasy.

"What good ideas do you have, my dear ministers?"

"Your Majesty, those rumors are all false. They are just an excuse for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to Goryeo..."

"Is there any point in talking about this now?"

Quan Gaisuwen sneered, interrupted the minister who was about to speak, and said in a cold voice: "The Tang Dynasty wants to break through our Goryeo city, just to let the people of the world see that what Emperor Yang of Sui could not do, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has done."

"As for the reasons and excuses, they're all bullshit!"

"What we need to do now is to mobilize troops and resist the 100,000-strong Tang army in Liaodong, as well as the Tang navy coming from the Dongying Protectorate!"

"Instead of sighing here and talking about whether the rumors are true or false."

Faced with Quan Gaisuwen's scolding, those uneasy civil officials fell silent.

Quan Gaisuwen turned his gaze to the generals in the hall and spoke again: "Now, the Tang Dynasty has sent troops to invade for some unknown reason. Are you willing to join me in resisting the Tang Dynasty army?"

"I'm willing!"

"very good!"

Quan Gaisuwen smiled and nodded.

When facing the powerful invasion of the Tang Dynasty, with so many soldiers willing to fight them, they may not lose!
"Please give the order, my king."

Quan Gaisuwen looked at King Rongliu with a serious face.

King Rongliu smiled and nodded, "Morale can be used. In this case, then the general will lead the army to fight against the Tang army!"

"This time, in the fight against the Tang army, I will lead all the officials to fully assist the general."

"The general has the final say on how the war will go. I guarantee that the general will have no worries at home!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After receiving the order from King Rongliu, Quan Gaisuwen asked loudly, "Is General Fubo Gao Zhensheng here?"

"The general is here!"

As Quan Gaisuwen's voice fell, a burly man came out and said respectfully, "General, please give the order."

"You can dispatch 10,000 naval forces to Quanjing and cooperate with Quanjing County Lieutenant Jin Wucheng to stop the Tang Dynasty navy!"

"The last general takes command!"

"Where is Captain Zhenwei?"

"The humble position is here."

"You lead two thousand elite soldiers to assist General Gao. You must not allow a single Tang navy soldier to land!"

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

After arranging the navy to meet the enemy, Quan Gaisuwen said in a deep voice, "As for the Tang soldiers in Liaodong, I will go to meet them in person!"...

Spring well.

As a port in Goryeo, various cargo ships often appear here.

However, because the Tang Dynasty sent troops to the north to conquer Goryeo, the ships heading towards Quanjing had long disappeared without a trace.

Even a fool could tell that Goryeo would become a battlefield.

If we stay in Goryeo for supplies, we will have to risk our lives and might even lose our heads.

not to mention.

Rumor has it that Tang Dynasty's King of Side by Side with Su Chen has already arrived at the Protectorate of Dongying, and there is also news that the King of Side by Side with Su Chen has contacted the King of Silla and wanted to borrow his passage.

What is this doing?
It is obvious that they are targeting Goryeo.

Regardless of whether Silla agrees to borrow the passage or not, the Japanese navy will definitely go all the way north to Goryeo.

Therefore, not only were there no ships sailing in the direction of Quanjing, but even the people of Quanjing were on high alert.

County government.

The county magistrate, county lieutenant and others are all here.

They had already received the news that the Tang Dynasty navy had set out from Japan, and they also knew who was leading the troops this time.

That's why they become more and more nervous.

That's the man who did the wheel chopping.

If the well was captured, they would be dead without a burial place.

"Lieutenant Jin, has the message been sent out?"

"Reporting to the county magistrate, the news of the Tang navy's invasion has been sent to Kaifeng. However, it will take at least two or three days for Kaifeng to respond and mobilize troops to rush to the rescue."

County lieutenant Jin Wucheng said in a deep voice, "We must stop the Tang navy on the sea for two or three days before we can get support from Kaifeng."

"Two or three days..."

When Jin Wucheng's voice fell, the officials present changed their expressions secretly.

They had long heard of the power of the Tang Dynasty's navy. How could the military force in Quanjing withstand the attack of the Tang Dynasty's navy?

I'm afraid that if we meet face to face, the person will die.

"Your Excellencies, there is no need to panic."

Jin Wucheng smiled calmly, "I have already arranged for people to go to Bilie. If nothing unexpected happens, Bilie's reinforcements will arrive at Quanjing this afternoon."

"really?"

Hear the words.

The officials present all showed their delight.

Bilie is not far from Quanjing and has thousands of soldiers. If all of Bilie's troops can be mobilized to help defend Quanjing, they may hold out for two or three days and wait for the troops from Kaijing to come to their rescue. There may be a chance!

Jin Wucheng nodded, "That's natural."

"Lieutenant Bilie Qiao has replied to me. After receiving the news, he immediately led the soldiers of Bilie to come to Quanjing for help. He should be on his way now."

"As long as we hold on for two or three days, the Tang Navy will surely return empty-handed!"

"Good good!"

"Well done, County Lieutenant Jin."

"With County Magistrate Jin here, the springs and wells will surely be safe!"

Faced with everyone's flattery, Jin Wucheng did not show too much pride.

Jin Wucheng said slowly, "Although we have the support of the soldiers from Beilie, the strength of the Tang Navy should not be underestimated."

"Everyone knows that the Japanese navy of 20,000 to 30,000 was defeated as soon as it met the Tang navy!"

"And the navy we have in Quanjing only has a few hundred people."

"If we fight them head-on on the sea, we will simply seek our own death. Therefore, I think we should take advantage of our familiarity with the terrain and actively allow a group of Tang navy to enter the well and share the spoils."

Allow the Tang navy to land, and then rely on the advantage of terrain to attack them in batches?

Everyone thought that this might be a good plan.

but.

"Have you ever thought about the fact that if the Tang navy lands, the weapons in their hands will cause us great trouble?"

"You mean the musket?"

Jin Wucheng smiled calmly, "They are just some weapons. We can't defeat them but we can hide them."

"I don't believe that he, alongside Wang Suchen, would really disregard the safety of the people."

"what?"

Everyone looked shocked.

Could it be that Jin Wucheng's plan is...

"Use the village as a base and lure them into the village. In this way, their weapons will be useless, and we can rely on the advantages of the village to encircle and suppress them!"

"If they don't care..."

"Which is more important, the death of some civilians or the king's kingdom?"

"..."

Everyone was silent.

No matter what they say, people will find reasons to attack them, so the wisest choice is to keep their mouths shut.

As for what happens afterwards, it has nothing to do with them. After all, the plan was proposed by Jin Wucheng.

Even if you want to apologize, you should hold Jin Wucheng's head!

"it is good!"

"Just follow County Lieutenant Jin's plan!"

"Our goal is to delay the progress of the Tang Navy as much as possible. The later they arrive at Quanjing, the safer and more secure we will be!"

"Your Excellency is wise."

"I'll trouble County Lieutenant Jin with this matter. This officer and my colleagues will fully assist you!"
