Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 151
"Great general!" Wang Wenzuo handed the reins to Sangqiu, bowed to Jin Renwen behind him and said, "Your status is precious, and you can't afford to send me a lowly post in person, not to mention sending it so far away. Degraded!"

"The relationship between big husbands is about congeniality, so why bother to be limited by official position and status?" Jin Ren asked with a smile: "What's more, with the talent of San Lang, the official position and wealth are nothing more than picking things out of one's bag. It can be as long as five years, and as little as three years. You can be a minister with me in Chang'an."

"Don't dare to be humble!" Wang Wenzuo hurriedly bowed and thanked him. Although generally speaking, in the Tang Dynasty, children from foreign aristocrats had a high rank but generally had a lot of value, but Jin Renwen was an exception.Counting from Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty lost at least one million lives in the Goguryeo War, and spent an astronomical amount of food and silk in the armored war. Flank.

If Su Dingfang was the first hero in this battle, then Jin Renwen was the second hero.And in the foreseeable future, no one can replace Jin Renwen's special status in Datang's entire Haidong strategy.

At that time, although the imperial court had many ways to select officials, including imperial examinations, concealment, and promotion of subordinate officials, the best method was the recommendation of powerful and high-ranking officials, such as Jin Renwen, who could directly speak in front of the emperor. The top dignitaries of words are definitely worth ten thousand sentences.

"The ancients always broke a willow as a gift to commemorate farewell!" Jin Renwen broke a willow branch and sighed: "It's a pity that we are not in Chang'an, otherwise the willow trees in Chang'an should have sprouted by this time!" Zhi handed it to Wang Wenzuo: "Sanlang, please cherish this farewell, and we will renew our friendship when we meet again someday!"

"Hongdu!" He Bayong looked back at Jin Renwen's figure in the distance behind him, and said in a low voice, "Why do I think this nobleman treats Saburo differently!"

"It's not what you think, it's the truth!" Cui Hongdu smiled and said, "Let's make a bet, as long as Sanlang returns to the Tang Dynasty this time, his future is limitless. This is an important minister who can serve the emperor, as long as he is in front of the emperor casually Let me mention one more thing, don’t you just do things like assassins casually?”

"The governor can do whatever he wants?" He Bayong's breathing became heavy all of a sudden, he kicked his horse's belly and caught up with Wang Wenzuo, with a slightly awkward expression on his face: "Sanlang, if you are the governor, take me with you! Don't look at me, I'm an old man!" Warriors, you can do one or two judgments!"

"They are all my own brothers who got out of life and death, so why do you need to say more!" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Besides, it's too early to say these things now! Who knows when we will be able to return to Datang?"

"Our term has expired a long time ago!" He Bayong asked back in surprise: "According to the military system, new troops should be dispatched from China to replace us and return home! Hong Duyou said that?"

"Yes!" Cui Hongdu also echoed: "Sanlang, we are in a remote garrison. One day is worth two days in the middle school. The deadline has passed long ago. Moreover, the court failed to siege Pyongyang this time, and we don't know what to do next time." At that time, we were a lone army in Baekje, and we were just working hard for our teachers!"

Wang Wenzuo was a little astonished. His views were at odds with those of his two colleagues. In his opinion, the Baekje Tang army would not only be unable to return to the country, but would continue to stick to it. However, the statements of Cui Hongdu and He Bayong showed that this army seemed to have returned. Arrow, no heart to fight, this is not a good thing.

Sibi City.

Through the narrow high windows of the deep side hall of the Baekje Palace, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the ground. The murals highlighting the achievements of the ancestors of Baekje used to cover the walls, so the walls have already been covered by several tapestries, but in the eyes of Liu Rengui, the whole building The side hall was still immersed in blood red.

Su Dingfang has withdrawn his troops from Pyongyang!
The damn news made the chair under his butt seem to have a lot of needle pricks. Damn it, he felt uncomfortable all over his body, and the back of the chair was too hard, making his waist and butt uncomfortable. Why did Liu Ren want to Choosing this kind of chair, doesn't he know that this kind of chair is not suitable for the elderly?Damn it!Liu Rengui thought gloomyly, the issue we are discussing now should also be damned!
"Can you confirm the authenticity of the news?" Liu Renyuan asked in a deep voice. Everyone around the long table looked gloomy and fidgeted. Du Shuang fiddled with the corner of his clothes, as if there were countless mysteries hidden in it.

"This is the news from the Silla envoy! It is said that Pang Xiaotai, the chief of the Woju Road March, was defeated by the Goguryeo people in Snakeshui, and the entire army was wiped out. General Su had no choice but to withdraw his troops voluntarily!"

"Then we should also withdraw our troops, the sooner the better!"

A voice sounded from the long table, and then someone refuted it, and someone spoke in support, and the debate immediately broke out at the long table. People stared wide-eyed, blushed, and spat at each other.

"Maybe we should go to the court and ask for instructions on what to do!"

This stupid suggestion immediately drew a burst of sneers, and those who advocated the withdrawal of troops or those who persisted scoffed at it. The reason is very simple. This place is too far away from Chang'an. The ashes are cold.

Liu Renyuan listened to the debate at the long table, feeling uneasy in his heart.There is no doubt that he is a brave man, but there are many kinds of bravery. If facing the enemy's spear and strong bow on the battlefield, Liu Ren would never back down; Indecisive.Liu Rengui also saw this.

"There is actually nothing to argue about this matter!" Liu Rengui's voice was not loud, but it immediately overwhelmed all the voices around the long table: "The imperial court only ordered us to guard Baekje, but there was no order to withdraw our troops. Order! Before receiving the order to withdraw our troops, we have no choice but to stick to Sibi City. Retreating is disobedience, and disobedience is a serious crime!"

"Liu Shijun's words are wrong!" Du Shuang said loudly: "The righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, if a doctor goes out of the border, he can secure the society and benefit the country. It's special! We are thousands of miles away from our homeland, and the situation is changing. How can there be nothing? The reason to do it after reporting? Now that General Su has withdrawn his troops, I am a lone army waiting in Baekje, how can there be any reason to stay in an isolated city and wait for death?"

"Du Changshi is only caring about his own safety and disregarding the overall situation!" Liu Rengui said unceremoniously: "If you withdraw your troops as you said, then the Baekje bandits will definitely return to the country, and it goes without saying that all the hard work of crossing the sea and expedition was in vain. , and there is one more Japanese, I am afraid that even Silla will be in danger, and it will be too late to regret."

"Now we have less than [-] soldiers and less than half a year's food, can we stay here even if we stay behind? Isn't that the same? We also buried [-] soldiers." Du Shuang said here: "I heard that Liu Shijun offended The nobles in Chang’an came to Haidong to avoid disaster, and would rather die in Sibi City than return to China and be humiliated by the jailers. At first, I didn’t believe it, but now it seems that it’s true!”
