The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 1065 Paying Tribute, Claiming to Be a vassal
"Baekje, it really is a weak chicken."

Staring at the progress of the Japanese invasion of Jeju Island on the forum, Mo Xiaobai shook his head secretly.If he hadn't asked Wang He to send a warning letter to Baekje through the big man, it would probably take less than two days for the Japanese kingdom to invade the city smoothly.

As for now, the situation is actually not much better.

Traveling slowly eastward in the flying boat, Mo Xiaobai was not in a hurry to make a move. After all, weakening Baekje was also a good thing.And so far, he hasn't had a good reason to intervene.

"Now, it depends on how long Baekje can hold on."

Recited silently in his heart, Mo Xiaobai began to close his eyes and meditate.

It's just that he can rest in peace, but Baekje can't.With the outbreak of the war, the situation became more and more dangerous, and all the officials in the main hall of the Baekje Palace were like ants on a hot pot.

Weak and powerless.

"I said before that all the troops defending the eastern border should be transferred to Jeju secretly. But you disagree. Take a look now. Look at the current situation. We can't teleport even a single soldier."

"Fart, if we agreed before, not only would Jeju still be in danger, but Silla would also take the opportunity to kill us. If so, all of us here will be the eternal sinners of Baekje."

"What should I do now? If I don't want to come up with a strategy, Jeju will belong to the Japanese."

There was a commotion in the court hall, and the ministers of Baekje really had no good plan at the moment.Looking at a group of ministers with royal salaries who have nothing to do with it, the King of Baekje felt an unknown anger in his heart and had no way to vent it.

After enduring it for a long time, I couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the table angrily, and said coldly: "Enough, my king never counts on you in times of crisis, I have made up my mind, I ask the big man to send troops to help."

Ask the big man to send troops?
All the ministers look at me and I look at you, but none of them answered.

Not to mention that the big man repeatedly bullied Baekje, which caused Baekje to be in trouble. It was a sentence that the big man mentioned in his warning before, and none of the insiders agreed so much.

"Don't my king know the conditions for the big man to threaten him?"

At this time, a Baekje official came out and clasped his fists, angrily said: "The big man is not satisfied with occupying our country, and now he wants me to pay tribute to the emperor from Baekje. How is this different from asking us to be a vassal to the big man?"

"Your Majesty, this must not be the first of its kind."

"How can I, Baekje, submit to the big man?"

"Impossible~"

There was another commotion, but the King of Baekje, who was sitting on the throne, looked on coldly. After a while, he sneered and said, "Then according to your intentions, Jeju Island is not wanted? Do you know that there are now [-] elites on Jeju Island? It is the remaining half of our strong soldiers in Baekje, if we lose the [-] elites and Jeju Island together, how can we protect Baekje?"

"Just rely on your lips? Or rely on those pawns who can only become cannon fodder on the battlefield?"

After Baekje King finished his questioning, the noise gradually stopped.

The most embarrassing thing about Baekje today is not that its territory is being eaten away by other countries, but that after repeated twists and turns, there are very few soldiers left who can be regarded as middle and high-level elite soldiers.Coupled with the fact that Baekje does not have any high-level technological support, and lost the last elite soldiers, it is not far from the country's subjugation.

"My king's words are not unreasonable."

Another Baekje veteran came out, saluted and said: "But if you can mediate with the big man a little bit, we can pay tribute at the beginning of each year, but don't pay tribute to the big man. In this way, maybe we can save some face."

"Mediate?"

The King of Baekje pondered for a while, and finally raised his voice: "Do you have time to mediate, or do I have time to mediate? If you are sure that Jeju can survive for half a month, when the teleportation blockade is broken, this king will bet on the fate of the country." , and will also transfer soldiers and horses from the eastern border and many noble lords to Jeju to fight against Japan. The question now is, are you sure that Jeju Island can survive for half a month and break the teleportation blockade?"

Not waiting for me is the most helpless thing that King Baekje has to face at this moment.

Scanning the silent hall, the King of Baekje exhaled and said, "There is no need to discuss this matter again. I have already drawn up the letter of credence, and let the foreign envoys of the Han Dynasty enter the palace."

.........

In the afternoon of the same day, with a letter of credence "respecting the emperor and proclaiming his ministers" was taken out by the foreign envoy from the Baekje Palace, the three pigeons took off at the same time.

One of them went straight to the Jindo Concession.

In the evening, the biography was sent to Su Lie.

Seeing Su Lie open the biography from afar, Liu Rengui immediately asked, "Dingfang, but is there any news from the north?"

"good."

Su Dingfang glanced at it, and then passed the letter to Liu Rengui beside him.After the latter finished watching, his face showed great joy: "Okay, Baekje is willing to bow its head and surrender, shouldn't it be time for us to dispatch?"

"Why should you and I be in a hurry?"

Su Lie squinted his eyes and shook his head unhurriedly, and said, "I will stay at Jindo in this battle, in case the Japanese make any further moves, and you and Xingba don't need to go south to Jeju so soon."

"Wait? Jeju is at stake."

"It's not that serious. From what I've seen, Jeju can last at least ten days with all his strength. Even with a discount, it should last seven or eight days." Su Dingfang's eyes were concentrated, looking at the chart beside him like a wolf's eyes: " Let them fight first, you and Xingba can do another thing first."

"What's the matter?"

"Drove the Japanese over here, and cleaned up the nest of sea snakes that were used as bait. If it goes well, the Jeju soldiers who were tricked out can also be rescued. The lord said that this person is useful."

Su Dingfang pointed to a point on the chart with his right hand, and Liu Rengui immediately understood it.

Perhaps, he was indeed too impatient.

"When will Xingba and I set off?"

"Just tonight, Xingba should have already prepared the warship."

Su Lie nodded in response, and Liu Rengui clasped his fists immediately.

Half an hour later, Liu Rengui and Gan Ning left Zhendao with a large fleet of [-] warships.

After driving for one night, another thirty warships were separated.

It wasn't until noon that they approached an inconspicuous cone-shaped island.

As soon as it approached, the warship was attacked from the bottom of the sea.

Liu Rengui and Gan Ning looked at each other, the latter bit a short dagger in his mouth and jumped down.

Behind Gan Ning, [-] dragon inspectors jumped down, they were specially stayed by Mo Xiaobai when he left Zhendao.

"Disperse!"

Raising his hand to make a gesture, Gan Ning took the lead and rushed forward.

When the three giant snakes saw him, they immediately opened their mouths and spit out a series of water cannons.

The water cannon came straight to Gan Ning's face, but Gan Ning moved freely like a loach, swimming among the huge waves, and quickly approached the snake.

"The ultimate stab!"

As the energy around him exploded, Gan Ning's figure almost disappeared in the sea.

Immediately afterwards, a line of blood appeared between the long body of a demon snake.

After a while, large streams of scarlet blood gushed out, and the twenty-foot-long magic snake was almost split into two sections by Gan Ning.

"It's really useless."

In less than a dozen breaths, the three magic snakes were seriously wounded and dying.

As a stream of air gradually slowed down, Gan Ning's figure emerged from the other side.Looking back at his masterpiece, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows proudly: "After you've been dealt with, I'll be able to see what the level of immortal beasts is."
