Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 2179

"I want to remind you, even if we can escape, what are our chances of winning against the nearly [-] coalition forces of Fusang and Baekje on Zhangjiadao?"

"This..." the bearded man gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay! Five or five, I bet!"

Xu Fengnian said: "My lord, please think again!"

"Brother Xu, you don't need to talk too much! This old man has figured it out. Now that things are up to now, there is still hope of winning if you gamble. If you don't gamble, you will have to be cut with a blunt knife and slowly bleed to death."

Then, holding the command in his hand, he said, "Wang Bodang!"

"The end is here!"

"The lonely king ordered you to take the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, set fire to the northwest, and burn the **** for me!"

"As ordered!"

Wang Bodang quickly stepped off the flagship, and after a while, soldiers from Fuyu Kingdom ignited the rocket wrapped in tarpaulin in the northwest direction.

"put!"

With one order, thousands of arrows were fired, dozens of Fusang warships were set ablaze, and thick smoke billowed up!

……

……

On the flagship of Baekje.

Sha Zhai Qixian, the commander of the expeditionary force, saw the thick smoke billowing in the distance, his face changed drastically, and he said, "Master, look! Look!"

The master that the beggars in Sha Zhai talk about is the wild Taoist priest in Chang'an City, the national teacher of Baekje, the cheap father-in-law of Sun Zishan, the secret spy sent by Guo Ye to Baekje, and the abstinence monk!

Among the several letters sent by Guo Ye, one was addressed to him, strictly ordering him to find out whether Fusang had colluded with Baekje this time and sent troops together.

If not, of course it's best.If there is such a thing, we must do our best to destroy the relationship between the two countries and cause Baekje to withdraw from the battle.

His own daughter is the wife of disciple Guo Ye, for the sake of her daughter's happiness, even if this task is extremely difficult and dangerous, the rebooting monk can only do his best.

In the end, the sky paid off, and he really found out.

It is true that Baekje and Fusang jointly dispatched troops.As for the leader of the army, he is the brother-in-law of King Wu of Baekje and the younger brother of Queen Sha Zhai, Sha Zhai Qixian!

After hearing this news, the rebooting monk couldn't help chanting Amitabha several times.

To put it bluntly, he is just a jester in Baekje, and it is difficult to affect the country's plans.If someone else is leading the army, he really has nothing to do, but this Uncle Sha Zhai is different.

This person was born in a wealthy family, and he didn't know anything about soldiers at all.That is to say, Queen Sha Zhai saw that she would win this trip, so she encouraged Fu Yuzhang to let her younger brother go to the record.

In addition, this person has another feature that makes the rebooting monk very satisfied.This feature is that Sha Zhai Qixian is very superstitious, and really believes that he, the national teacher, has magic power.

I don't know Bing and I don't have a good brain, so I just fool around.

Therefore, the rebooting monk immediately approached him, and persuaded Uncle Guo to bring himself with him when he went out to fight, so that he could pray for the army.

For this request, Sha Zhai Qixian, of course, has no reason to agree.

However, after going out to sea, what the rebooting monk did was no longer related to praying for blessings.He secretly pulled aside the begging gods in the sand house, saying that he had received a hint from the Buddha that he would lose this battle, and if he wanted to survive, he had to retreat quickly.

Uncle Sha Zhai is just incompetent, but not really stupid, so of course he won't fully believe it.Just dubious, ready to play by ear.

As for the rebooting monk, he also knew that there was no rush for this matter, so he could only keep making sidelines.

Seeing black clouds drifting by, it is said that it is bad luck.When you see white clouds coming, say white is unlucky!Even if they saw a row of seabirds flying towards them, they would all say that their screams were shrill and ominous!

After a few days of walking by sea, Qixian in the sand house was so scared that his heart trembled.At this time, seeing thick smoke billowing in the distance, it became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel.

The Jiesex monk now understood the reason, and said: "What did I say, it's fierce! It's fierce! This battle will definitely be defeated."

"But... now it seems that the Fuyu Kingdom has surrounded Fusang's army and has not yet attacked, but only burned a small number of ships. Let's go up and cooperate with each other. Is there still a chance?"

"Uncle Guo, why are you so confused! Why didn't Fuyu Kingdom destroy Fusang's army immediately? This will lure us into the bait. If you are unwilling and really step forward to join the battle, it will be too late for regret !"

"You mean to say that the Fuyu Kingdom did not destroy the Fusang Navy on purpose?"

"exactly."

"But..." Shazhai Qixian said: "After all, this is just our guess. If we retreat here, the Fusang army will really be finished. At that time, the people of Fusang will file a complaint. My brother-in-law blames it, then But what should I do?"

"It's simple, don't tell the truth."

"Then what should I say?"

"You said that you saw that the Fusang Navy was almost burned, and it was useless to save it?"

"Can my brother-in-law believe it?"

"Why don't you believe it? No matter how close Fusang people are, how close can your sister be?"

"That's true. But..."

"No, but. Uncle Guo, think about it. This time, the Fusang navy is gone, but Baekje is retreating. Of course, the Fusang people can say that you missed the opportunity, but we can also say that we are saving our strength when the opportunity is wrong. This kind of If there is a pen and ink lawsuit, I am afraid that even Emperor Fusang will have a headache."

"So, is it reasonable for us to retreat?"

"That's natural."

"My brother-in-law won't blame me?"

"of course not."

"Fusang people can only suffer from being dumb?"

"Certainly so!"

"Okay!" Sha Zhai Qixian slapped his thigh and said, "The whole army is back!"

Chapter 1989

Crown Prince Fuso Sokabe, sitting high on the flagship, has a clear view of the entire battle situation.

Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived in the distance, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, saying: "It's okay, it's okay. Although the Lord of Fuyu Kingdom used his troops like a god, he tricked us once. But what he didn't expect was that we still There is a way out."

Su Wo Lianzi said: "Although Zhang Zhongjian is good at using troops, that's just a little cleverness. It's great wisdom for you to mobilize Baekje's reinforcements secretly."

He paused, and continued: "Hmph, what kind of bearded man Zhang Zhongjian, who claims to be fighting for the world with the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, is nothing more than that when we meet today. How can we Fusang people keep our promises and fight him fairly? He believes that it is purely a disease of the brain."

Cao Bi said: "You can't say that. This man is good at using troops, he can be regarded as a general. But in terms of his ability to grasp the overall situation, he is still slightly inferior to this prince."

"Hey, poor Zhang Zhongjian, you thought we were going to fight him in a fair and fair decisive battle to force the Fuyu Kingdom to surrender. How could we know that our real purpose is to wipe out his main force. The rich women on the island don't need him to offer, Let's get it ourselves!"
