Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 409 Liu Rengui invites himself to stay in Baekje (2)

"King Wu, my lords, I remember clearly that after receiving His Majesty's edict that day, all the officers and men were asking Liu Rengui, the governor of the party, to lead everyone back to the Central Plains, but Liu Gong persuaded them to stay Continue to guard Baekje." Wang Jin said.

"Then tell us about the situation at that time in detail, how did Mr. Liu show emotion and reason, we all want to hear Mr. Liu's high-spirited remarks." Xu Jingzong smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Di Renjie on the side smiled and said nothing, obviously he had the same thoughts as Xu Jingzong, and everyone else nodded in agreement with what Xu Jingzong said.

Even Li Chengqian, who was reading the imperial memorial, raised his ears and listened carefully.

"Liu Gong saw that the soldiers were making a fuss and the situation was difficult to control for a while, so Liu Gong called everyone together and said to the soldiers."

"The ministers know what is beneficial to the court, and they will be firm in their will. Even if they die, how can they think of their own self-interest first."

"The lord wanted to destroy Goguryeo, so he had to kill Baekje first, leaving a large army to guard here and contain its vital points. Although the rebel army is strong, it doesn't have enough soldiers to work hard."

"Now we should prepare our troops and prepare our horses and horses. Only by attacking those who are unprepared can we be invincible and foolproof. Then divide our troops to occupy dangerous places, spread out the formation, and then send documents on flying horses, requesting the imperial court to send troops for reinforcements."

"If the court knows that this matter can be successful, it will definitely send reinforcements to support it, so that the enemy can be wiped out."

"Now that Pyongyang has not been conquered, if Woongjin gives up again, then Baekje may revive. If you want to destroy Goguryeo, you don't know that you have to wait until the year of the monkey."

"And now occupying a city in the center of the enemy, if you move your foot, you will be captured."

"Even if we go to Silla, we are tourists, and if something unsatisfactory happens, we will regret it."

"What's more, Fuyu Fuxin is vicious, rebellious, cruel and vicious. Their monarchs and ministers are suspicious of each other, and sooner or later they will kill each other."

"We should wait and see what happens now, and wait for their civil strife, and we take the opportunity to attack and take them down. We should not act rashly now." Wang Jin said Liu Rengui's words verbatim.

After listening to Wang Jin's narration, everyone here admired Liu Rengui, how difficult it was for Liu Rengui to make such a decision.

It's not that everyone can have such a vision and insight, and how many can do what he does.

"Mr. Liu is worthy of being a minister of the Tang Dynasty! You all have a look at the memorial that Mr. Liu gave me." Li Chengqian said, showing everyone the memorial in his hand.

Wang Quan took the memorial from Li Chengqian, first handed it to Wu Wang Li Ke, and after Li Ke read it, everyone passed it on one by one.

"Liu Gong's vision is far-sighted, and his true knowledge and insight are beyond our comparison."

"Liu Gong really deserves to be the minister of my Great Tang, and it is really my great fortune."

After seeing Liu Rengui's memorial, everyone admired him and praised him.

"Liu Gong mentioned in the memorial that Liu Ren would like to tell him that he asked the imperial court to send 7000 soldiers from the four states of Zi, Qing, Lai, and Hai to Xiongjin for assistance."

"What do you Aiqing think about this matter? Should I accept this matter?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty! Liu Gong is loyal, for the foundation of our great Tang Dynasty, and the peace of the Liaodong border, he alone led the army to guard Baekje at the age of 62."

"I think that it is reasonable to send 7000 soldiers from the four states of Zi, Qing, Lai, and Hai to rescue according to his request." Li Ke said first.

"I agree with Wu Wangke's words. I think it's only seven thousand, even if it's ten thousand. Your Majesty shouldn't have any hesitation. This matter benefits the country and the people, and the destruction of Goguryeo is just around the corner." Di Renjie said with his hands crossed in salute.

"My minister seconded the proposal!" Xu Jingzong hastily echoed, and he also supported sending troops to help Liu Rengui and the others on this matter.

"Seniors and others!" Others also agreed to send troops to help Liu Rengui.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with their statement. It was so rare for them to work together on such a big issue.

It would be great if they could work together as they do now and do their best for the court every time they discuss matters.

"Since everyone has no objection, let Zhongshu Sheren draft an edict, and issue an edict to recruit 7000 soldiers from the four states of Zi, Qing, Lai, and Hai to go to Baekje on a warship to help Liu Rengui." Li Chengqian said, asking the eunuch Go and send a message to Zhongshu Sheren to ask him to draft an imperial edict.

Soon Zhongshu Sheren drafted the imperial edict that Li Chengqian wanted, signed by the officials of the three provinces, and finally Li Chengqian drew an edict on the imperial edict and stamped it with a seal.

This edict to levy [-] soldiers and horses from the four states will only be considered effective and have legal benefits.

"Grand Liu is guarding Baekje. Does he have a good strategy to put down the Baekje rebels? What if Fuyufeng asks Goguryeo and Wa to send reinforcements?" Li Chengqian asked, he wanted to know what countermeasures Liu Rengui would have next.

"When I returned to Chang'an from Baekje, Mr. Liu once said that if your majesty asks about Baekje, you should tell your majesty what he said."

"Liu Gong said that the rebels are suspicious of each other, Fuyu Fuxin and Daochen are in harmony on the surface, but secretly they are fighting each other."

"Fu Yufeng doesn't trust Daochen and Fuyu Fuxin even more. He is always on guard in everything, for fear of being persecuted by these two people."

"Liu Gong said that as long as he uses a little trick, he can let them kill each other. At that time, our army will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman!" Wang Jin said.

"That's great! It's just how to solve the problem of Baekje rebel reinforcements?" Li Chengqian said again.

"Liu Gong said that what Fuyufeng can rely on is the country of Wa. After all, he has been a hostage in the country all the year round. As for Goguryeo, even if Fuyufeng would ask him for help, he would definitely have reservations."

"At that time, only one Chen Bing and the border will be needed to stop the Goguryeo army one or two. At that time, the imperial court only needs to make a posture to attack Goguryeo in Liaodong, and Goguryeo will inevitably throw a mouse."

"And Liu Gong will personally lead the main force to go out to sea and fight against the Japanese army. As long as the Japanese army is eliminated, the rebellion in Baekje will be put down." Wang Jin said.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian discussed with the ministers, and they all felt that Liu Rengui's analysis was in place, which could indeed solve the problem of the Baekje rebellion.

"Liu Gong's plot is not something we can figure out, but after the suppression of Baekje, how should we deal with Baekje?" Xu Jingzong said.

"Baekje is isolated overseas, and Goguryeo is blocking it. The imperial court can't directly govern it. It's better to exchange it with the Buyeo royal family for governance." A minister said.

"I feel that I should send capable ministers to Baekje to manage the people's livelihood, reclaim the fields, educate the people, and make them turn to the court." Li Chengqian said.

Now that Baekje has been brought down, it is natural to manage it well. How can he be brought back into the hands of the Buyeo royal family.

If some of them had other ideas and revived Baekje again, wouldn't it be that Baekje was handed over to others, and all previous efforts would be in vain.

It's better to control Baekje in your own hands.
