Chapter 847 Silla's Choice

The [-] people under Lu Yuanjun's command sounds like a lot, not even inferior to the number under Liu Rengui's command, but no one, including Lu Yuanjun himself, thinks that he can fight head-on with Liu Rengui with these more than [-] people.

Lu Yuanjun's subordinates, except for the [-] Japanese soldiers who came with him at the beginning, are still considered soldiers, and the rest are just extra heads, rioters or bandits who were coerced into the rebellion army, usually pretending to be powerful and bullying the people It's okay, if you meet the elite of the Tang army, you can only escape from afar.

The reason why the Japanese army can survive to this day is not because of the strengths of the Japanese army itself, but to a large extent because of Liu Rengui's connivance with them. If Liu Rengui hadn't suppressed the bandits in a playful way, even ten Luyuan Lords would not be dead enough of.

For Liu Rengui, Mr. Luyuan is just a vicious dog he raised. Liu Rengui wants him to bite Silla, so he is still useful, he can live, but once Liu Rengui thinks he is useless, then he will die Not far away.

Now that Liu Rengui had driven the Japanese army to disrupt the entire Silla, and came under Jincheng, the capital of Silla, Lord Luyuan and his Japanese army had completed their mission and were completely worthless.

So, on that night, Liu Rengui suddenly ordered that the Tang Army Qingqi go out quickly, and the three thousand elites took advantage of the night to go straight to the Japanese army's camp.

In the past few days, because Liu Rengui indulged them and did not kill them all, Lord Luyuan has begun to take his guard lightly, and he is not as cautious as before when he marches and camps. Without the slightest preparation, he fell into Liu Rengui's trap.

The Tang army robbed the camp late at night, and the Japanese army was caught off guard. In addition, the Japanese army was not as powerful as the Tang army. In an hour's time, there were already many casualties.

Outside Jincheng Wangji, on the hillside of Ulsan, five miles away from the Japanese camp, Liu Rengui, the chief general of the Tang army, stood on the mountainside, looking at the burning Japanese camp below, his face as dark as water.

"The commander-in-chief's sudden order to attack Lord Luyuan was not at the request of Jin Chunqiu of Silla, right?" Sima Qinling, who came to Silla with Liu Rengui, stood behind Liu Rengui and asked Liu Rengui.

Liu Rengui smiled, and did not directly answer Qin Ling's words, but asked instead: "What do you think?"

Qin Ling came to ask Liu Rengui with the answer, so he replied without hesitation: "A mere golden spring and autumn should not have such face in front of the governor."

The border generals at the first level of the Tang Dynasty have never bought the account of the king of a small state, let alone Liu Rengui is the emperor's confidant, and Jin Chunqiu is only a powerful official in Silla, so Liu Rengui doesn't take Jin Chunqiu seriously. What about Liu Rengui? The bandits will be suppressed because of Jin Chunqiu's words.

Liu Rengui smiled and said, "That's right, you're right about this matter, it's really not because of Jin Chunqiu that I suddenly ordered to kill the Japanese army."

Qin Ling asked: "This matter is not difficult to guess, but there is one thing that I still can't figure out, and I hope the governor can enlighten me."

Liu Rengui replied: "You are His Majesty's student, and His Majesty will teach you, so it's out of the question to teach me, but if you speak clearly, I will not hide my secrets."

Qinling asked: "Why did the governor first inform the people of Silla about the post-war garrison in Jincheng? Wouldn't this give them a chance to prepare and refuse? Why didn't the governor respond to this matter first, and break it down today?" The Japanese army, after defeating the Japanese army, marched directly to Jincheng overnight, and forced them to be caught off guard, wouldn't it be more confident."

In fact, what Qinling said is also true. Now Jincheng is defenseless. If Liu Rengui really leads the army into Jincheng, he will definitely control the city defense. At that time, there will be no one in Silla who can check and balance Liu Rengui, and Jincheng will become the Jincheng of the Tang Dynasty. Up and down are also at the mercy of Liu Rengui.

Before defeating the enemy today, Liu Rengui told Jin Ren about his thoughts on leading the army to Jincheng for repairs in the future. This is tantamount to telling the people of Silla that the Tang army intends to take advantage of this battle to invade Silla.

Although Silla is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, it is not under the control of the Tang army. Naturally, they are unwilling to hand over the capital to Liu Rengui.It is indeed not as good as what Qin Ling said. After defeating Lord Luyuan, he went to Jincheng overnight and forced the Silla people to open the city gate with his troops. They were caught off guard, which saved effort.

Liu Rengui shook his head and said, "What you said is true, but not entirely true. What you said is the way of war, but not the way of serving the country."

What Liu Rengui said was exactly what Qin Ling wanted to hear, because with Liu Rengui's ability, even Qin Ling could see the problem, how could Liu Rengui not know, Liu Rengui must have other deep meanings, Liu Rengui can only deny Qin Ling's words He didn't intend to hide it from Qinling.

Qin Ling hurriedly said, "My boy would like to hear the details."

Liu Rengui asked Qin Ling: "In your opinion, will the monarchs and ministers of Silla Kingdom allow me to lead the army to Jincheng for repairs?"

Qinling said: "The Silla people will never open the city gate. The Silla troops in the city are weak. With the strong city walls, the Silla people may be able to stop the governor. But if the governor enters the city, the people of Silla will It is definitely not the opponent of the Great Governor, and the Silla Kingdom will surely perish."

With the incidents of Baekje and Goguryeo in the past, Tang Jun’s ambition to annex the three Koreas of the peninsula has been fully exposed, and Silla’s introduction of wolves into the house has become a fact. He will never open the city gate again and donate the golden city to Tang Jun.

Liu Rengui: "That's right, they really won't open the city gates to me, but that's exactly what I want."

Liu Rengui's words made Qin Ling more and more puzzled, and Qin Ling continued to ask: "Why is this?"

Liu Rengui: "In the final analysis, Silla is different from Goguryeo and Baekje. Silla is my vassal of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is not peaceful, it is easy to attack people who are unknown. To attack them, there is still some reason. .”

As soon as Liu Rengui's words came out, Qinling immediately understood Liu Rengui's meaning. As far as the moment is concerned, Silla is not wrong. To be honest, the Tang army hastily attacked the city and finally captured Silla. Become the next Silla and separate from Datang.

But it would be different if Silla voluntarily refused the Tang army to enter the city to recuperate. The Tang army killed the enemy for Silla.

Qin Ling paused, and asked Liu Rengui, "If we attack Jincheng this time, does the Grand Governor have any established vanguard candidates?"

Liu Rengui replied: "It has not been decided yet, and it will not be too late to decide after the news from Silla."

Hearing the words, Qinling suddenly bowed down and said, "If the governor does not give up, the general is willing to be the vanguard of the governor and conquer the new city for the governor."

Liu Rengui did not expect that Qinling would suddenly ask for orders, because Qinling was from Tubo. For Qinling, this was not just a simple siege battle, but also a certificate of honor handed over by Qinling to Datang. If he did, he would be Tang Chen, and he would never go back.

Liu Rengui asked, "Have you thought it all over?"

Qin Ling immediately replied: "The boy has already made up his mind, and I hope the governor will agree."
