Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 373 Trust the Clown

Chapter 373 Trust the Clown
Nakatomi Dahui knew what the cunning monk Daochen was saying about the military situation. Instead of letting the news become a bargaining chip for others' survival, it would be better for him to tell it himself and maybe save his life.

All information will be leaked, so rather than letting the thieves and monks take advantage, it is better to tell it yourself.

When Dao Chen heard Nakatomi Dahui's roar, his mouth became angry, and he couldn't hide the little look in his eyes that wanted to kill someone.

But soon both of them felt something was wrong.

Although many people and generals in the tent heard the news, which caused quite a commotion, the Grand Governor at the top remained unmoved and just looked at them with a bit of ridicule.

Both of them felt an ominous feeling in their hearts.

Chen Qingsi said: "This outdated news alone cannot buy your lives."

really!

Daochen's face turned gloomy.

Nakatomi Dahui lost his mind and said: "Impossible, impossible! How do you know? Our army acts carefully..."

Our army?

Chen Qingsi then looked at Zhongchen Dahui squarely and asked, "Are you from Japan?"

He had previously thought that those captured were all Bu Yufeng's subordinates and members of the Baekje Restoration Army.

Nakatomi Dahui said timidly: "I am the envoy of Japan."

"Japanese country is Japanese country. His Majesty has not agreed with you to change the name of the country. What qualifications do you have to change your own name?"

Chen Qingsi dismissed it.

Nakatomi Dahui lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. Although they have long called themselves Japan at home, their credentials with the Central Plains still obediently call themselves Japan.

Chen Qingsi didn't want to say more to him, but when the words came to her lips, her thoughts changed and she said with some kindness: "I don't know your name?"

Zhongchen Dahui suddenly saw that Chen Qingsi had changed his tone towards him, and his heart pounded, and he timidly said: "Zhongchen Dahui..."

Nakatomi clan?
Because of the special relationship, Chen Qingsi still had a certain understanding of the situation in the Japanese country, and asked: "What does Nakatomi Kamatashi have to do with you?"

Zhongchen Dahui said hurriedly: "He is my father. Does the governor recognize my father?"

There was a glimmer of hope in his heart. Maybe with his father's reputation, he could avoid death?
When Chen Qingsi heard this, he put his hands together and said: "I have decided to adopt your suggestion. Your Excellency informed me about the Japanese soldiers. I am preparing to set up an ambush in Xiongjin and wait for the Japanese bandits to enter the urn. If you don't have your thoughts, I have the style of the Tang Dynasty and have devoted my service to report this confidential information. Our army cannot accurately grasp the information about the Japanese pirates..."

Zhongchen Dahui was completely dumbfounded, and for a moment he didn't know what Chen Qingsi meant by this.

But he soon figured out that Chen Qingsi must have known their movements through other news.

Now that they are saying this, they are undoubtedly taking advantage of the situation to put the crime of leaking the secret on themselves.

If this spread to the Japanese country, I would not be able to clean myself even if I jumped into Lake Biwa.

For a moment, Nakatomi Dahui felt a mixture of sadness and anger. It would be fine if he could really get benefits, but now he has not got any benefits and is still left with a bad name.

How can this be good?

Chen Qingsi waved his hand and asked people to take Zhongchen Dahui down.

He still has a use for this person and cannot kill him.

As for people like Fu Yufeng and Dao Chen, Chen Qingsi showed no mercy at all. He ignored the calls for mercy and directly ordered them to be killed.

Chen Qingsi's attitude towards the so-called Baekje Restoration Army shocked Heiji Changzhi. He thought for a while and said: "Grand Governor, the Japanese Kingdom is coming. The army should return to Xiongjin to meet the enemy. However, there are still many rebels in Zhouliu City. , most of the surrounding cities and counties are under the control of the rebels. If this group of rebels is not eliminated, they will become a problem in the long run."

As soon as he said this, someone immediately responded, but it was Gu Lan.

"The army has been defeated, the leader of the thieves has been eliminated, and there are only a few remaining soldiers. Why should we be afraid?"

Hei Te Changzhi immediately said: "If the other party mobilizes troops to deal with it, there is really nothing to fear. I am afraid that most of the governor will go to Xiongjin. When the rebels in Zhouliu City learn of the defeat, their fighting spirit is almost gone, and they flee in all directions. Baekje is mountainous. , they are scattered and hidden in the mountains, and they come down from time to time to plunder, so how can we guard against them?”

Gu Lan was speechless for a moment, but there was a bit of dissatisfaction and indignation in her eyes.

Gu Lan was dissatisfied with Hei Te Changzhi.

There is no other reason. When Su Dingfang had a decisive battle with Baekje, Gu Lan faced Black Teeth Changzhi.

The two sides fought extremely fiercely, and both sides paid a heavy price.

Gu Lan's deputy Gao Shuo was killed by Hei Te Changzhi himself.

Later, after Su Dingfang decided the victory, he mobilized three troops to capture Hei Te Changzhi.

Hei Te Changzhi's hands were stained with the blood of a lot of Tang soldiers. Now that he has returned to Baekje, he has also received a reward from Li Zhi, and his status has even surpassed him, which naturally makes him dissatisfied.

In fact, he was not the only one who was dissatisfied and dissatisfied. In the eyes of many Tang generals, Heijia Changzhi was still a defeated general no matter how powerful he was. Now that a defeated general had fallen on top of them, how could he be convinced?

However, their resentment was not as deep as Gu Lan's.

After all, he is not a direct victim.

In fact, Chen Qingsi had already seen the isolation of Hei Te Changzhi by the generals, but he did not interfere rashly. If you are not familiar with them in the first place, rashly interfering in your subordinates' interpersonal interactions as a boss will be counterproductive. Besides, everyone has their own preferences, and don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Even if he controls the sky with one hand in Baekje, he can't be so lenient.

As long as it does not harm national affairs or cause adverse political effects, he will not interfere.

It was the same this time. He ignored Gu Lan's attitude, but said to Hei Te Chang: "Then what is General Hei Te's advice?"

Black Teeth Changzhi said: "The last general is willing to go to Zhouliu City in person to persuade him to surrender. Now that the leader of the thieves has been killed, it is the time to show the benevolence of the court. As long as the governor can pardon the death penalty of the remaining people, the last general is willing to go to the bandit camp alone and persuade the remaining people to surrender. Everyone surrenders."

"No!"

Before Chen Qingsi spoke, Gu Lan's expression changed.

He was dissatisfied that the defeated soldier Hei Te Changzhi was doing better than him, but he was extremely positive about Hei Te Changzhi's strength.

Even though he had the upper hand, he could not defeat Heiji Changzhi. In the end, even when the other troops of Baekje were defeated, Heiji Changzhi was still able to fight alone.

With such strength, Gu Lan felt ashamed.

"The general also feels it's inappropriate."

Zhao Chiman stood up at this time.

Hei Te Changzhi looked at his friends who were very close to him along the way, his eyes were a little stunned.

Chen Qingsi was a little surprised and asked: "Why?"

Zhao Chiman said: "General Mo and Brother Zhou went a long way to find the traces of the Jiebo tribe. Their goal was very clear, they came for the governor. The governor set up his headquarters at Tianchuan River and did not communicate with him. We have discussed that the generals do not know the whereabouts of the Grand Governor. There are no sources of information about the Grand Governor's whereabouts. How can we know the Grand Governor's whereabouts? Someone must have leaked the whereabouts of the Grand Governor. Who is it? And know.”

He paused and said: "General Black Teeth is also suspected. The last general wanted to secretly find out who it was with Brother Zhou and report back. But now... the Grand Governor has really agreed to General Black Teeth's request, just in case. It is true that he will never come back. General Black Teeth is a famous general in the world, and he is both wise and brave. If he is allowed to return and lead the thieves, the consequences will be disastrous. "

As soon as Zhao Chiman finished speaking, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense. Gu Lan, He Qinghao, Kong Cheng and other generals objected.

This is not out of selfishness, but a true recognition of Hei Te Changzhi's strength.

A black tooth is like a fierce tiger. Letting the tiger return to the mountain will cause endless troubles.

Chen Qingsi said: "Okay, don't mention this matter again. I trust General Hei Teeth. If General Hei Teeth is really the messenger, the arrow he shot at Jie Bo will be replaced by my heart. I'm afraid he would have died on the spot. General Black Teeth is not a villain who behaves like this. I will leave this matter to General Black Teeth. I also believe that God has a good heart and does not want to kill indiscriminately."

Hei Te Changzhi had no hope at all, but after hearing Chen Qingsi's words, he bowed deeply and said, "I will definitely live up to the trust of the Governor."

He said, bowing to the generals in the tent who were not friendly to him, and exited the commander's tent.

Chen Qingsi waved his hand to stop the generals from discussing the matter, but said: "There is no need to waste words on the remaining little thieves. The Japanese attack on us, Xiongjin, is a big deal. A clown dares to challenge the power of heaven with his body and not leave them in Xiongjin." , how to explain to His Majesty? "

When he said this, his tone was a little excited.

His city is very deep, but when he talks about the Japanese country, his words will unconsciously reveal some inexplicable emotions.

The generals couldn't tell what they were feeling. They seemed to be filled with excitement, hatred, disgust, and happiness, all mixed together.

All in all, all the generals can feel that the great governor Chen Qingsi attaches great importance to the Japanese country.

In this battle, Chen Qingsi has proven his ability, not only strategizing, but also defeating the enemy between the metacarpal bones. Faced with Jie Bo's life-threatening blow, he personally led his troops to charge and defeated the strong with the weak, which was enough to convince them and they all obeyed his orders solemnly.

As for Chen Qingsi's two flames, they didn't believe it and thought it was just a dazzling sight. After all, no normal person would believe this unless they saw it with their own eyes.

Just when Chen Qingsi was making all arrangements, the rear general Yue Guoshou Abe Hirafu who was on Danluo Island had not yet set off.

He was too greedy and overconfident. He was unwilling to make a wedding dress for the Baekje Restoration Army. He underestimated the strength of the Tang Army and overestimated the strength of the Restoration Army.

In his opinion, even if the Baekje Army loses to the Tang Army, it will not be wiped out by 50,000 soldiers in a single battle, and it will more or less be able to hold on for a few days...

It can only be said that if Sun Bin saw his strategy being imitated and used by the Japanese, he would be angry to death again if he kept it alive.

Abehirov was also worried that the Baekje or Tang armies would be defeated too quickly, so he did not have much time to rest and recuperate. He only delayed for two days before leading his troops to sea.

Forty thousand soldiers, more than a thousand ships...

Abe Hirafu stood atop the double-decker ship and looked at the mighty army behind him. He was full of energy and said to Park City Qinzouda Laijin beside him: "This battle will let the world know the martial name of my Japanese warriors." !”

Qin Zuotian Laijin from Park City was a descendant of the Qin family who came across the sea during the troubled times of the Central Plains. He echoed: "The Echigo defender has the courage of the Central Plains ancestor Ti Zhongliu to attack the enemy. This battle will definitely be successful."

He echoed.

It's exactly like the Yelang Kingdom of yesteryear.

The navy of the Tang Dynasty included warships, Haifal, Mengchong, Huanglong, Shuangli, Pingcheng, Bachu, Jumang, and Xianzi. The ships were also equipped with arsonists. A warship could carry six to seven hundred people...

This is where Datang’s capital lies in fighting across the sea...

The handsome ship Abehirov was on was improved from the envoy ship sent to the Tang Dynasty as a gift from Baekje.

One of the ships sent to the Tang Dynasty could only carry one hundred and twenty people. After improvements, many weapons and arrows were stored, and the number of people it carried was reduced to one hundred.

There is only one such main ship sent to the Tang Dynasty, and the rest are mostly flat-bottomed and narrow boats that can only accommodate about twenty or thirty people.

The two sides are about to face each other on the sea, and they are not on the same level at all.

Historically, Liu Rengui won four battles and four victories, defeating the Japanese army and defeating it.

In fact, it is not really a skill. What he is really good at is turning around the chaos within Baekje, bringing order to the chaos, and determining the overall situation of Baekje.

Defeating the Japanese navy was just a matter of effort.

At Baijiangkou, the advantage of large ships was too obvious. It was only because the Japanese were the victors that it was worth writing about.

But Abebirov had no such awareness at all. Instead, he looked at the densely packed boats behind him and the brave warriors who looked like wolves and tigers, feeling very satisfied.

The group of them traveled very fast and still took the route of Baijiangkou.

He did not go to Xiongjin Port, but went up the Baijiang estuary, intending to attack Xiongjin City by water.

South of Xiongjin City, on a high slope.

"Grand Governor!"

The scout quickly came to a close place and said loudly: "The soldiers and horses of the Japanese country have gone upstream from the Baicun River. There are many of them. There are more than a thousand small boats and there are as many as 30,000 to 40,000 people. They are spread all over the country. A river."

"finally come!"

Chen Qingsi narrowed his eyes slightly. In fact, the best way to deal with this group of Japanese pirates is to directly choose to fight with them at Baicunjiang like Liu Rengui did.

The ships of the Tang navy were large and sturdy, and they could bully the Japanese flat-bottomed long ships at sea.

It's just that he didn't choose to fight Bai Cunjiang again in the end.

This is too cheap for these Japanese pirates.

Although it was easy to win this battle at Baicunjiang River, the damage to the Japanese country was not great.

It's too easy to win, but in the vast sea, the chance of escape is too high.

When the Japanese saw that they were outnumbered, they could immediately run away.

Although the long and narrow boats could not shake the Tang army's large ships, the small boats had the advantage of being more flexible and faster, making it easier to turn around and escape.

If they really wanted to flee, the Tang army's large ships would not be able to catch up with the Japanese boats.

Therefore, this time Chen Qingsi planned to give up the advantage of the navy and put the Japanese country into Baekje territory, so that they would never return.

Of course, the most important point is that Liu Rengui was careful about the situation in Baekje at that time. He just wanted to repel the Japanese country and did not think deeply about it at all.

In fact, after Liu Rengui defeated the Japanese at Baijiangkou, the Japanese were extremely frightened and panicked. They were all afraid that the Tang army would take advantage of the situation to attack their homeland.

However, Liu Rengui did not choose to attack Japan, but was busy stabilizing the situation in Baekje internally.

Chen Qingsi didn't want to let Japan go so easily...

First leave his 40,000 expeditionary troops on the land of Baekje!
Forty thousand soldiers is definitely an unbearable number for the current Japanese country.

They were so ambitious that they dared to covet the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

As a descendant of Saint Confucius, how could he not know the truth that "the hatred of ten generations can still be avenged"! ! !
