Prosperous Tang special forces

Chapter 199 Returning
The King of Baekje, who was still dismissive of the Tang Dynasty, became nervous when he heard the news that the Tang army had killed him.While ordering people to go to peace talks, he began to mobilize troops and horses to prepare for defense.

But at this time, he couldn't raise the slightest confidence. The two superpowers in the north were wiped out by the Tang army one after another. How much strength could a mere Baekje country have against the Tang army.

When the King of Baekje was in a hurry, the three sons of Quangai Suwen were discussing at this time, and the eldest boy, Daquan, said sadly: "The Tang army must have come here to arrest our brothers. This Tang army commander can see clearly. If the three of us stay in Baekje, sooner or later we will be taken advantage of by those who want to."

"Well, that's right, why don't we go to Silla?"

Quan boy was about to shake his head and said: "Second brother, the Lord of Silla will not dare to accept me when we go to Silla at this time, maybe he will kill us and give our heads to the Tang army to claim credit."

"why?"

Boy Quan glanced at the youngest who was speaking, and sighed, "At this time, the Tang army is attacking Baekje. Our departure just happened to let the king of Baekje get rid of this matter, and draw the Tang army's anger to Silla. After all, the Tang army is just a passerby here. , as long as the Tang army destroys the main force of Silla, then the king of Baekje will benefit from it. So not only will the king of Silla not accept us, but he will also try every means to let the Tang army break through Baekje, and they will benefit from it."

"How about we cross the sea and go to Japan?"

"That's not enough. The navy of the Tang Dynasty has already become a climate. In recent years, whether it is the ronin who went to the southern cities of the Tang Dynasty or the warriors who went from our country, they have all suffered devastating blows from the Tang Army. The Battle of Yingkou General Liu Rengui of the Tang Army wiped out all the living forces of the Dongying people at sea. Now they have fled the country and slowly licked their bleeding wounds. They don't say they dare not take us in. Even if they dare, we can't even think about it with the speed of the Tang Army ships. escape."

What Quan Boy said made the three brothers fall into silence. After a long time, he finally said, "It's really not possible. Let's go and surrender to the Tang Army. In order to appease the various ministries of Goguryeo, the Tang Army will not harm the lives of the three of us."

"But the King of Baekje treated us well. If we leave, won't we harm him?"

"That's not bad. He just wanted to take advantage of our three brothers. Besides, what my elder brother said is right. We surrendered to the Tang army, which not only saved the lives of our three brothers, but also prevented the decisive battle between the Baekje army and the Tang army. What's more I think the King of Baekje will hand over the three of us in a short time. To appease Tang Jun’s anger, it’s better for us to speak out.”

Boy Quan nodded and said, "Okay, according to what my second brother said, we'll go find King Baekje."

Baekje Palace, all the ministers are gloomy at this time.Seeing where their king was sitting, some courtiers saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the Tang army is coming in menacingly. Why don't we hand over the three sons of Quangai Suwen. Otherwise, our Baekje may follow in the footsteps of Goguryeo." .”

"Hey, this king didn't know. I thought we had signed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty. At least they didn't dare to attack the city rashly. We took in the three sons of Quangai Suwen, so we won't encounter obstacles in regaining the homeland of Goguryeo. But who would have thought that the marshal of the Tang Dynasty would not play his cards according to common sense."

Hearing their Majesty scolding people, none of those courtiers corrected these mistakes at this time. In fact, they also wanted to scold Tang Jun severely.They don't pay attention to people too much, at least they have fought with Goguryeo for more than ten years, but they have no chance to fight back with Tang Chao.They attacked cities and lands as if they were walking on flat ground.

No matter how sad and indignant Baekje's monarchs and ministers are, it is a fact that they are facing the destruction of the country. As a last resort, the Baekje King ordered: "Go and invite the three sons over here."

"No need, we came by ourselves, Uncle Wang will hand over our brothers to Tang Jun."

Hearing this voice, King Baekje stood up with a face of shame, walked around the table in front of him, bowed to the three of them and said: "The Tang army is powerful, uncle is sorry for you."

Boy Quan said indifferently: "It's an honor for the three of us to save Baekje from the military disaster. Thank you Uncle Wang for your hospitality these days, and we are leaving now."

The three of them turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall. The king of Baekje raised his right hand several times and wanted to ask to stay, but he didn't know how to say it. Although he was helpless in his heart, he also knew that the attack on Goguryeo was a matter of the future. The important thing is to send Tang Jun away first.After waving his hand, he was ready to see him off, and he walked towards his seat shaking.

A day passed in a blink of an eye, and the scouts continued to report the fall of the city. Obviously, Tang Jun did not stop.

In the palace, looking at the scouts who came to report again below, King Baekje overturned the table in front of him and said angrily: "The Tang army is deceiving people too much. Don't we have to send them away? Why haven't they Stop moving forward?"

"They said that their order was to arrest Quangai Suwen, his father and son, and now there are only three and one Quangai Suwen is missing."

"Fart, don't they know that Quan Gai Suwen is dead?"

"Tang Jun and their marshals have orders to see people alive and dead bodies. They will not stop until they see the dead body."

At this time, the king of Baekje's face was black and blue, and he clenched his fists and shouted angrily: "Assemble the army, the lonely king will fight the Tang army to the death."

As soon as the king of Baekje finished speaking, a courtier dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The Tang army's move is to provoke us to fight them. With our current strength, we really cannot fight the Tang army. It is impossible for the Tang army to come here from afar. The time is too long. So we can give them whatever they want, or they will retreat automatically in a few days."

Hearing these words, the King of Baekje slowly loosened his clenched fists, and shouted to the eunuchs outside the palace, "Go, order someone to dig out the bones of Quangai Suwen, and send the coffin to Tang Jun."

Looking at the coffin sent by the King of Baekje, Li Shouyi smiled and said, "It would be nice if it was delivered a few days later, and we can go straight to Baekje City."

Xue Li shook his head and said: "Let's go back quickly. Your Majesty's order is to announce that the Marshal will return to the imperial court and let you be stationed in Wandu City. We have been delayed here for a long time, and the Marshal is not easy to explain."

"Yeah, Baekje wouldn't exist if we were given a few more days."

"We have just defeated Goguryeo. We should not expand Baekje for the time being. Otherwise, it will be a problem that we cannot defend it after defeating it."

The Tang army occupied one-third of Baekje's territory, stopped the attack, and left behind [-] soldiers, Xueli and Li Shouyi, and returned to Pyongyang. Hearing that the Tang army was retreating, the king of Baekje was relieved for many days. down.However, when they heard that the Tang army occupied their land, they had no choice but to send envoys to Chang'an to surrender and hope that the Tang emperor could return the land.

With Xue Li and Li Shouyi returning to Pyongyang, the nearly one-year Eastern Expedition has officially come to an end.

Looking at the coffin pulled back by Xue Li and the others, Long Feiyu shook his head and sighed: "This Baekje king is really hypocritical, after taking advantage of Quangai Suwen's reputation, he even dug his coffin out of the grave This is too inhumane, our Tang army can’t be as shameless as Baekje, our Prime Minister Izumi just has a difference in political views, and in all fairness he can be regarded as a hero of the previous generation, let’s bury him generously and let the dead rest in peace.”

As soon as Long Feiyu said this, a group of generals around him looked at him with weird eyes. If there were not too many soldiers here, they might have rolled their eyes.Just like this, the group of people stared at him with contemptuous eyes. If he hadn't ordered to see people alive and dead, would the King of Baekje dig them out?

However, it is true that Quangai Suwen’s body cannot be placed in Baekje. Regardless of the reason why the King of Baekje dug up Quangai Suwen’s body this time, his reputation in Goguryeo has already been stigmatized. Even if he has The people of Goguryeo will not buy what they think.

In order to cope with emergencies, Long Feiyu did not return to Chang'an immediately, but stayed in Goguryeo and spent the new year with the soldiers of the three armies.Only then returned in the direction of Chang'an surrounded by a group of generals.

Looking at the generals who came to see them off, Long Feiyu glanced at Xiao Jun and the others and said, "This time I may not be able to come back to Chang'an for a long time, Xiao Jun, you are stationed in Sanhe County, you understand the blueprint I gave you ?"

"Understood, it's not the first time I've done something like this, Marshal, don't worry."

Long Feiyu nodded, looked at Li Shouyi and Xue Li and said, "Li Shouyi, you and Xiao Jun are stationed very close. Xiao Jun has heavy tasks, do you know that the two of you will work together to help?"

"Understood, Marshal"

"Xue Li, your place is relatively peaceful, and it is also the most populous and prosperous place. To be honest, the whole Goguryeo Kingdom is the land north of the Yalu River. Xiao Jun needs food for food, people for people, and maximum support. , you need to speed up the progress of the project, and when I return to Chang'an, I will tell His Majesty to immigrate to Sanhe County, the fertile soil here will soon become another Hetao granary, you must do your best."

"Marshal, don't worry, the general will definitely cooperate with them. It's just that there are too many people, what should we do if there is a riot?"

"Riots? Suppress all of them. I only want young and strong women. As for the men who did not commit crimes, they will be treated the same as the people under our rule after the city is built. When they encounter riots, they will be suppressed. I will not allow them in the places ruled by our Tang Dynasty." potential enemy."

"Yes"

After exhorting the three of them, Long Feiyu came again: "That Xue Li, wait for a few days to stabilize and bring your wife Liu Shi over to get married. Among these people, only you and my brother Feiying are left. But the children can almost make soy sauce."

Xue Li chuckled, and argued, "Marshal's words are a little too big, Feihu's son is still in his mother's stomach, so he doesn't know how to make soy sauce at all."

Everyone who said a word burst into laughter, and Feihu hummed dissatisfiedly: "At least it will be soon, it will be better than you." Everyone said goodbye to each other, and returned towards Liaodong.
