Chapter 561: Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times

royal palace.

When Heichi Changyu and Wu Mingfeng arrived at the palace, they saw a group of tall men standing in an orderly manner outside the palace.

When seeing these people, Heichi Changyu and Wu Mingfeng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Because, among these people, they have quite a few acquaintances.

Most of these people are from the residences of major officials, but now they are guarding here in an orderly manner.

Not only that.

When they walked into the palace, they saw boxes of gold, silver and jewelry neatly stacked on one side.

Heichi often looked at the two of them, and they all felt that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty."

The two men bowed and greeted him.

The King of Baekje waved his hand, pointed to the gold, silver and jewels beside him and said, "These things were donated by the ministers of the court with all their strength to resist the Tang army outside the city."

Heichi Changyu couldn't help but frown, and Wu Mingfeng's face changed. When he looked at the ministers, he saw some forced smiles on their faces.

Obviously.

The king asked them to take out all their family assets, but they were extremely reluctant.

But for some reason, he ended up emptying his family's savings.

Wu Mingfeng said slowly, "Your Majesty, are these things really given out willingly by the gentlemen?"

The Baekje king raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "What do you think?"

Wu Mingfeng hesitated when the words reached his throat.

“We volunteered.”

A minister spoke up and said, "You all are as good as the king. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, the most important thing is to defeat the Tang army outside the city."

"It's just a little bit of property, why bother about it?"

"Master Liu said it well."

The King of Baekje smiled and nodded, "If all of you have this awareness, why worry about the powerful enemy not retreating?"

Wu Mingfeng's cheeks twitched.

He now understood a little bit how the king had let these people take the things out.

This is forced.

In this case, how could the many ministers present agree with the King of Baekje?

However, looking at the king's current situation, he seems to no longer care about these things. All he thinks about is how to repel the Tang army outside the city.

Heichi Changyu said in a deep voice: "Thank you all for your support. With these gold, silver and jewels, it will be much easier to defeat the Tang army."

"really?"

Hear the words.

Many ministers showed joy on their faces.

If they could really defeat the Tang army, what would it matter even if all these assets were given to the King of Baekje?

As long as they remain in this position, they will get back the money they took out sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.

Heichi Changyu said in a deep voice: "Today we discovered the Tang army's food and supplies team. After discussing with Lord Wu, I feel that these people are most likely trying to lure us into attacking."

"Oh?"

The Baekje king frowned and asked, "If that's the case, why did General Blacktooth mention this again?"

Heichi Changyu: "Originally, Kodo should have a rough estimate of how many people we have, but now with the elite troops from the lords' houses, this is a surprise force."

"We might as well use this surprise force to give Kodo some fun!"

Lord Liu: "Could it be that General Black Tooth wants to use our people to attack the Tang army's food and supplies?"

Heichi Changyu smiled and shook his head, "No, no."

"Since we have already guessed that the Tang army exposed their food and supplies to us in order to lure us into attacking, why should we ask for trouble?"

"I think that even if we arrange people to launch a surprise attack, we may not succeed. Even if we succeed, who can guarantee that the bags in his carriage are really filled with food?"

"What does that mean, General Blacktooth?"

Everyone was somewhat confused by Heichi Changyu.

Since he didn't arrange the people in their mansion to launch a surprise attack on the Tang army's food and forage train, what was he going to do by having these people serve as a surprise force?
"A surprise attack on the Tang army's camp!"

Heichi often spoke his thoughts to others.

"Oh?"

The Baekje king glanced at Heichi Changyu and looked at Wu Mingfeng, "My dear Wu, do you know what General Heichi is thinking?"

Wu Mingfeng glanced at Heichi Changyu and said frankly, "Your Majesty, I don't know."

"I don't know?"

The King of Baekje frowned, "You really don't know?"

Heichi Changyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have not yet told Lord Wu about this matter."

"The reason why I had this idea is because I saw the people in the mansions of the adults just now, and then I came up with a plan."

"Tell me in detail!"

Heichi Changyu said in a deep voice: "Kodo may have some knowledge of the military strength in our Fengshan City, but he would never have thought that the masters would donate the elite troops from their respective mansions."

The King of Baekje glanced at his ministers and a sneer flashed across his face.

Donate?

I actually praised them.

Many ministers also knew the truth and looked somewhat embarrassed.

If they were not forced, who would be willing to give out all their assets?

"So, we can take this opportunity to catch the other party off guard."

Heichi Changyu quickly revealed his plan.

Although these people may not have received formal training, they must have outstanding qualities to be recruited by many ministers.

Once these people are used well, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the Tang army.

Therefore, it is only necessary to quietly release these people from Fengshan City when the Tang army is unprepared, and let them take a detour to attack the Tang army's food and grass, which will inevitably cause the Tang army to panic.

And this achieved their goal.

The food and fodder transported by the grain and fodder team outside the military camp may not be real food and fodder, but the food and fodder inside the Tang army camp must be real.

However, doing so would be an extremely difficult and dangerous task for those people outside the hall.

There is a high possibility of survival.

After hearing this, the King of Baekje nodded continuously, and when he looked at Heichi Changyu, he couldn't help but show a little more admiration.

It turned out that he lived up to his promise by personally helping Heichi Changyu to this position.

In a short period of time, I came up with such a plan.

Although it is a bit reckless, it may not be impossible to succeed.

As for death, it is inevitable.

War.

How can there be no death?

Wu Mingfeng: "That's a good plan."

The King of Baekje smiled and nodded, "It's indeed good. It is feasible to a certain extent."

Done.

The Baekje king turned his gaze to the ministers present, "My dear ministers, what do you think of General Blacktooth's plan?"

Many ministers looked at each other, all of them feeling disappointed and speechless.

You have emptied out all our family savings. Now whatever you say is the truth. Why do you still need to ask for our opinion?
"General Black Tooth is indeed very wise."

"I think this plan is feasible."

"I second the proposal."

In just a few breaths, many ministers expressed that this plan could be tried.

As for whether it will succeed or not, that depends on God's will. "Okay!"

The Baekje King nodded and said, "In that case, it is up to you to decide how to arrange the sneak attack, General Black Tooth."

"Take away all those people outside the palace."

Heichi Changyu: “Yes!”

Heichi Chang and Wu Mingfeng walked out of the palace with nearly five thousand people and a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.

Wu Mingfeng was a little hesitant about Heichi Chang's proposal just now.

Although the plan is good, are the people they brought with them really willing to do this?

"General Black Tooth, these people are from the residences of the lords."

Wu Mingfeng whispered, "Although he has joined our team now, he may not sincerely join us in fighting against the Tang army."

"If we rashly send them out of the city, I'm worried that they will betray us. Not only will we fail to burn the Tang army's food supplies, but we will also most likely expose the tense situation in our city."

Heichi Changyu nodded, "You are right, I have considered this, so I need to use some tricks."

"Oh?"

Wu Mingfeng frowned and looked over, "What is General Black Tooth's so-called method?"

Heichi Chang said calmly: "Since these people are from the homes of the masters, then their relatives are naturally in Fengshan City."

Wu Mingfeng's face changed, and he understood what Heichi Changyu meant.

They used the relatives of these people to threaten them, went to the Tang army's camp, and burned the Tang army's food and grass.

If they disagree, then their relatives may go before them.

"Master Wu, I know what you are thinking."

Heichi Changyu seemed to have guessed that Wu Mingfeng was about to speak, but he spoke first: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done."

"Now we are in a decisive battle with the Tang army, and we must determine who is superior."

"Either we die in Fengshan City, or the Tang army retreats back to Goryeo! So, I think we should use some tricks when necessary."

Wu Mingfeng sighed, "I'm afraid they may not be convinced in their hearts."

"If that's the case, it will be very detrimental to our plan!"

"I see."

Heichi Changyu said in a deep voice: "I will find a way to make them agree."

After Wu Mingfeng looked at Heichi Changyu, he didn't say anything more.

As the two men entered the military camp with nearly five thousand people, it immediately caused quite a commotion.

after all.

Most of the qualified troops in the city have been drawn out to participate in the defense of the city. How come so many people suddenly appear?

Moreover, looking at the appearance of these people, they are all strong and sturdy, and are obviously good soldiers!
"General, who are these people?"

"Everyone in your Excellency's house."

Black Tooth Chang gave a brief explanation and said, "From today on, they are one of us. Equip them with armor."

"Ben will tell them something later. You are responsible for keeping an eye on them."

"Yes!"

The deputy general nodded and immediately led his men to get the armor.

Two hours later.

Everyone got their own armor, but most of them were leather armor.

For these people, such leather armor is somewhat embarrassing.

Heichi Changyu strode in front of the crowd.

"Everyone, now is the critical moment for the survival of Baekje."

"The Tang army outside the city is eyeing the city covetously, intending to capture Fengshan City and completely destroy our Baekje Kingdom. Once the Tang army breaks through Fengshan City, it will be a disaster for us and everyone else!"

"Not only will we die, but our loved ones will die too!"

"So, we must defeat the Tang army!"

The lofty words that Heichi often spoke did not play much of a role in the important tasks present.

On the contrary, there were quite a few people who showed a hint of sarcasm on their faces.

They were just thugs in the ministers' families, not soldiers of the King of Baekje, so why should they help defend the city?

Heichi Changyu glanced at them and said in a colder tone: "I know what you are thinking, and I can tell you openly."

"I know exactly where your relatives are..."

"Are you threatening us?!"

Hearing what Heichi Changyu said, some people couldn't help but speak out in anger.

Heichi Changyu looked at him and said coldly, "How can an egg remain intact when the nest is overturned?"

"Whether you think I am threatening you or coercing you, I only have one goal now, which is to defeat the Tang army outside the city!"

"If you know what's good for you, I can guarantee that your family members will be safe and sound. If you don't, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"you……"

"All officers and men obey orders!"

At Heichi Changyu's command, many soldiers around him raised their bows and arrows.

At this moment, everyone was shocked.

If they make any unusual movements, the soldiers around them will shoot arrows at them without hesitation!
"I will arrange some personnel to take you out of the city, attack the Tang army's camp, and burn their food supplies!"

"Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you!"

"Now."

"I will give you ten breaths to think about it!"

Heichi Chang looked at the people in front of him coldly, "You don't have much time left, think it over!"

Faced with the threat from Heichi Changyu, everyone present was angry but had no way to deal with it.

If they disagree, not only will they die here, but their families may also be implicated.

If they agree to leave the city and attack the Tang army's camp...

Nine deaths!
Ten breaths passed in a flash.

"Have you thought about it all?!"

Heichi Changyu shouted, "Are you going to fight for Baekje, or are you going to be a coward and let me send you off?!"

"I'd like to leave town!"

"I am willing."

"I'm willing to fight for Baekje!"

Everyone spoke one after another.

Under the coercion of Heichi Changyu, even if they were unwilling, they had no better way.

Faced with everyone's compromise, Heichi Chang nodded with satisfaction.

"very good!"

"Guo Zizhun!"

"The end will be here."

"I will now order you to take them out of the city."

Heichi Changyu turned his gaze to the deputy general beside him and said softly, "Take them out of the city quietly, don't attract the attention of the Tang army, and find a way to attack the Tang army's camp."

"Yes!"

Guo Zizhun nodded heavily.

Heichi Changyu patted Guo Zizhun on the shoulder and said, "Whether you can come back safely depends on you."

Guo Zizhun: "Please rest assured, General. Even if I die, I will die in the Tang army camp."

Heichi Changyu nodded, didn't say much, just waved calmly.

"Come with me!"
