Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 107 The Intruder

"Isn't that what it is? Is it good for me to let these guys kneel in the mud? I'm not a psychopath!" Wang Wenzuo sneered: "It will only remind them that they are being oppressed by the invaders, and encourage them to find ways to get rid of us." Drive away, causing us endless trouble."

Sancho stared at his master with wide eyes, showing a puzzled expression: "But, but you are indeed an intruder! This is the truth!"

"I am indeed an intruder, I admit it!" Wang Wenzuo said feebly, "But we can do our best to make Baekje people forget about this as much as possible. This is good for them and good for us!"

Sancho tried his best to understand what Wang Wenzuo said, but it might be too difficult for him.Wang Wenzuo also noticed it, and he sighed: "Sancho, if I don't die, sooner or later I will get you a piece of land, hundreds of subjects, and make you a lord, so there are some reasons you must understand: we are holding People of the bow, killing is inevitable, kill or be killed, this is our way of life.

But bullying and insulting others is foolishness. Let’s take it as an example, if someone draws a knife and stabs him, and you kill him, no one will hate me except his family and friends, because it is a matter of course for the murderer to die But if I let them retreat to the side of the road and bury their heads in the mud when I pass by, anyone with a little blood will hold a grudge and wait for revenge.It is true that I am an intruder, but this is already a thing of the past, time will always dilute everything, as long as I don't be so stupid as to stimulate the other party to keep reminding him! "

Sancho nodded half-understood, Wang Wenzuo knew that it might be difficult for him to understand this now, but at least the seeds had been planted.He smiled: "Let's go, let's go back to the city!"

Pass through the fish market and walk along the embankment for more than 200 meters, you can see the north gate of Sibi City, where the city wall extends to the northeast and climbs up a hill, which faces the river directly, forming a steep cliff.Wang Wenzuo and his party came to the north gate and were about to enter the city. Suddenly, Wang Wenzuo saw a lot of people gathered by the cliff of the hill, as if they were doing something, so he asked the captain guarding the gate: "What's going on over there?" ? Why are there so many people gathered?"

"Not too clear!" The captain shook his head: "I saw a lot of Baekje people going there with incense this morning, maybe they are offering sacrifices to some river god!"

"Jiang Shen?" The sensitive string in Wang Wenzuo's heart immediately tensed, and he swore before the god that Huming Yushu was a classic routine of rebellion in ancient times.Right now Tang Jun was standing on dry firewood soaked in grease, and any spark that fell on it could set off a fire that would burn everything into the sky. At this point in time, we couldn't be too careful.He pointed at the cliff with his whip, and said in a deep voice, "Sancho, go over and find out what those Baekje people are doing!"

"Yes!" Sancho replied, turned around and was about to leave, but Wang Wenzuo hurriedly called him back: "Change your clothes, your outfit is too conspicuous!"

Sanqiu didn't keep Wang Wenzuo waiting for long, and he came back about half an hour later. He lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, today is exactly the day when Baekje died!"

"By the way, why didn't I expect that!" Wang Wenzuo slapped his thigh, and then he remembered that it was the day when Su Dingfang commanded the Tang army to approach Sibi and force the Baekje people to surrender. His nerves immediately tensed up. He got up: "Are these people offering sacrifices to their homeland? You are so bold, who is the leader? Do you remember?"

"No, no!" Sancho quickly denied: "My lord, those people under the cliff are not offering sacrifices to their homeland, but female officials who jumped off the cliff!"

"Female officer?" Wang Wenzuo was stunned: "What female officer?"

"That's what happened!" Sancho explained in a low voice. It turned out that when the Tang army broke through the city, the female officials in the palace and some noble women fled to the small town on the cliff mountain.Finally exhausted, the female officials committed suicide by jumping from the cliff into the river.This day happened to be the anniversary of the death of those court ladies, and the people of Baekje gathered under the cliff to worship these strong women who would rather die than be humiliated.

"That's how it is!" Wang Wenzuo couldn't help laughing wryly. After Su Dingfang destroyed Baekje, Tang Jun's food was not generally ugly. As a result, as soon as Su Dingfang left, the Baekje rebels came up everywhere. If it weren't for Liu Rengui risking his life in the belly of a fish to cross the sea to borrow Silla soldiers to help, the situation in Baekje might be even worse.

But from Wang Wenzuo’s standpoint, he can’t criticize his own robes: fighting Turks, Tuyuhun, and Khitan is to defend the country, and fighting Goguryeo is to avenge the grievances of his father and brother, and Baekje and Datang have no borders at all, and there has never been any incident with Datang What a conflict.Soldiers leave their fields at home, parents, wives and children cross the sea and go on an expedition. There must be a way to go, right?The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had no military pay, so they had to get rewards from the Baekje people, so that the military discipline would be good.

"Lang Jun, why don't I take some people to drive those Baekje people away?" Sangqiu asked in a low voice seeing Wang Wenzuo's pained expression.

"No need!" Wang Wenzuo hurriedly restrained his overly diligent subordinates. He still knew what the road and the goal would be. He thought about it, and finally decided to find a way to do something. After all, he was also sitting on this crater. If you don't want your butt to be burnt, it's better to find a way to remedy it.

In the lobby, there was an extra map next to the map around Sibi, but it was a large map covering Shandong, Liaodong, and the Korean Peninsula.Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui sat beside the map, listening to Du Shuang's gesticulations on the map. Therefore, when Wang Wenzuo walked into the hall, no one paid any attention to him. He came carefully behind the pillars and waited carefully for their discussion to be completed.

"According to the information from the north, General Manager Su's fleet broke the Goguryeo thieves' defenders on Wei Island in Weijiang (now Datong River) seven days ago, went ashore to build a camp, and the next step is to encircle Pyongyang!"

"Then we will naturally send troops to respond!" Liu Rengui's voice was a little hoarse. He had caught a cold a few days ago and hadn't recovered yet. He looked a little haggard. Resentment, I'll wait—" At this point, he suddenly coughed violently and couldn't continue.

"Brother Zhengzheng, brother Zhengze, drink some water first and breathe slowly!" Liu Renyuan hurriedly picked up the cup and handed it over, and only sighed after Liu Rengui's cough subsided: "I didn't know that I should send troops to respond, but the Baekje thieves are in trouble right now. The power is still strong, but there are less than 3000 soldiers in my city, and no more than [-] people can be dispatched to the north. This number of troops may not even be able to kill the Baekje bandit's control area, let alone Pyongyang?"
