Chapter 548
"General Ren!" Wu Siyuan sat next to Ren Ning in full view.

"Long time no see," Ren Ning casually chatted with him, "What is General Wu doing recently?"

"Do nothing." Wu Siyuan shook his head with a wry smile, "The weather is getting warmer, let's continue training recruits."

"By the way. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank your legion for providing us with training venues and basic instructors."

Ren Ning shook his head with a strange expression.

"General Wu was joking. This is the Baekje Peninsula, and all the land belongs to you. We are the guests."

As he spoke, he looked up at Li Chengde who was opposite him.

"King Li, I don't know if what I said is right?"

Li Chengde nodded embarrassingly, "What General Ren said is true."

"But I, Baekje, is originally a vassal state of Yunchui. Only under the strong protection of your country can we live a stable life from the invasion of Japanese pirates. Therefore, all Xingluo soldiers can regard this place as their own home."

Ren Ning grunted and twitched the corners of his mouth, "But this is not Yunchui's native land after all, is it?"

As soon as this remark came out, the hall where needles could be heard became even quieter.

Everyone looked at Ren Ning, who was sitting above the head, with evasive eyes.

One of the prime ministers, Wang Ming, saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly raised his wine glass.

"General Ren occupies a high position, and it has been difficult for me to come to the capital. I am full of glory. Come, come, everyone, respect General Ren."

He laughed.

"As we all know, Unchui is famous for its food and wine. Even in Baekje, we have heard of it many times. In previous years, caravans even traveled thousands of miles to sell wine."

"This is our local wine in Baekje. It may not be as good as Yunchui's, but it has a long aftertaste after drinking it."

"General Ren, please!"

All the civil and military officials responded enthusiastically and raised their glasses one after another.

However, Ren Ning sat still, as if he had never heard of it.

It wasn't until the Baekje officials stopped in embarrassment that he looked at Li Chengde on the opposite side with no expression on his face.

"King Li, brewing requires a lot of food. It seems that your country has enough food."

He changed the subject.

"In the past three or four years, I think that my Xingluo Army and the Pingwa Army have nearly [-] soldiers and horses. They brought their food and grass and moved thousands of miles from the mainland. They are not afraid of life and death or the severe cold. hard work."

"Now that the land route is blocked, we don't have much food in our hands, why don't you share some for us?"

Now, whether it was Li Chengde or Wang Mingzhi, they suddenly felt that the wine glasses in their hands were not fragrant.

"General Ren taught me a lesson." Li Chengde didn't dare to take over Ren Ning's words, and said embarrassingly: "The Japanese pirates are still continuing to invade Baekje, and we are toasting and drinking in the back. It is indeed inappropriate."

"Come here! Withdraw the alcohol and order the whole country to ban alcohol from now on."

After speaking, he winked.

All civil and military officials put down their wine glasses together.

As for Ren Ning asking for food, everyone pretended not to hear.

Ren Ning did not chase after him.

"My Majesty, I cherish the friendship between the two countries. I heard that Baekje is in trouble, and I sent a large army to fight against the Japanese pirates, so we came. But..."

Having said that, he raised his voice.

"But as the general said before, Baekje is your land and your hometown after all, and you need to protect it yourself. Everyone, do you understand?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Ren Ning wanted to say for a moment, and it took a long while before someone nodded one after another.

"clear."

Ren Ning nodded in satisfaction, and his eyes fell on Wu Siyuan who was sitting upright beside him.

"General Wu, I would have hoped that the situation during the battle of Xilong Island last year would not happen again, otherwise we would evacuate Baekje."

"Remember, Ben will walk the talk."

Everyone present was shocked and looked towards Wu Siyuan one after another.

"What happened?" Someone couldn't help but make a sound.

"I do not know."

"Xilong Island is near the Yuanning Mountains, far away from the capital. How do we know?"

……

cough!
Someone in the know coughed lightly.

"Last year in the battle of Xilong Island, Naoto Kudo has been fighting against the East China Sea barrier at sea, and he has flawlessly taken care of the defense east of the Yuanning Mountains. At that time, General Ren sent a message to General Wu, asking him to attack the east coast with all his strength. However..."

Baekje did not dispatch any troops.

Wu Siyuan's face flushed and turned pale, and he stood up abruptly.

"General Ren, it's not that this general is timid and unwilling to go out to fight, it's that this general is subject to too many restrictions from various aspects. Although he is called the general who guards the pass, he can't mobilize many troops at all."

"When I received the general's information at that time, I knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as the army in Yuanning Mountain was dispatched, it was very likely that the entire east coast would be recovered in a normal manner. But things were contrary to expectations. There were too many generals who opposed sending troops. This general In the end, I can only watch the fighter plane slip away..."

"It can be said that missing that opportunity is the most regrettable thing in my life."

Ren Ning nodded expressionlessly.

"The opportunity to regain the entire east coast is gone. If you miss this opportunity, you will be dismissed from the army or even killed directly in the Starfall Legion."

Wu Siyuan understood that Ren Ning was helping him.

He quickly connected.

"General Ren, Baekje learned everything from Yunchui, whether it is knowledge, writing or etiquette, and military discipline is no exception. So I will return to the capital now and become a recruit instructor."

Ren Ning's face softened slightly, and his eyes fell on Li Chengde who was facing him with annoyed expression.

"King Li, if it weren't for those who restrained General Zhiwu, maybe the entire Baekje Peninsula would have returned to your embrace by now. You can't let them go easily."

"Yes yes yes!" Li Chengde's eyes flickered and he nodded repeatedly.

Ren Ning didn't ask whether he was sincere, and turned his eyes back to the sumptuous banquet in front of him.

"Now that the weather has gotten warmer, the information we have received shows that Naoto Kudo on the east coast is ready to move, and it is very likely that he will launch another attack on the Yuanning Mountains in the near future to open up a passage into the hinterland of Baekje."

"Once they succeed, everyone here must know what the consequences will be."

All the civil and military officials in the hall all had serious faces and nodded one after another.

After passing the Yuanning Mountains, we almost arrived at the capital of Baekje.

At that time, not only the Japanese pirates will come to the city, but also the land around the capital will not be able to be cultivated, and life will be even more difficult.

"It's good to be clear." Ren Ning didn't talk nonsense, "The generals stationed in the Yuanning Mountains of your country have been repeatedly defeated in battles, and they are hard to use. For the sake of our lives, it is better to let General Wu go."

"This..." Li Chengde's face was a little unhappy.

Just as he was about to speak, the prime minister Wang Mingzhi next to him took the conversation away.

"General Ren, whether in Yunchui or Baekje, the matter of dispatching the leading general is of great importance, and we must be cautious. General, let me wait for careful consideration and study before making a decision."

"Think carefully, study carefully?" Ren Ning looked at Wang Mingzhi with burning eyes, "Well, I will also go back and suggest that our general reconsider some things."

For example, evacuate the peninsula as soon as possible.

"As for this meal, I won't eat it, everyone, enjoy it slowly."

After finishing speaking, he stood up straight and walked out with his personal guards.

"General Ren, General Ren..."

Li Chengde turned pale with shock.

He had never seen such a resolute person, so he hurriedly asked Ren Ning to stop him.

"Everyone stand in the way," Ren Ning said in a sinister tone, "Are you going to put this general under house arrest?"

"Bold!" Lei Eryi waved his hand, "Let's see who dares to be presumptuous!"

The guards quickly drew their weapons to protect Ren Ning, looking around murderously.

There is a tendency to fight if there is a disagreement.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Li Chengde hastily moved out of the way, "It is difficult for General Ren to get my capital. This king just wants to treat me well, and has no other intentions. Generals, please don't misunderstand."

Ha ha.

Ren Ning smiled, "There's no need for entertainment, everyone should worry about the future of the front line and Baekje. Let's go!"
