Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Defeating Baekje and Japan Joining the War

Baekje is like a pile of ashes that have just been burned. Once the wind blows, it will definitely be able to rekindle. The fate of Baekje was tortuous, so God arranged two winds for it. The first one is a monk named "Dao Chen".The second group is the old general of Baekje, named "Fuxin", whose surname is Guishi.The two recruited the old people and occupied Zhouliu City (Buan County, North Jeolla Province, South Korea). After a quick rest, they rushed to the capital and surrounded Liu Renyuan.If only these two people were alone, the rest of Baekje would definitely not make trouble with them.As long as there is an incident, there is no serious reason.

The two found an irresistible reason for others - the royal family of Baekje is still there! Since Li Zhi detained all the members of the Fuyu family, Baekje has no backbone anymore, but not all the Fuyu people whose surname has changed are in Baekje. Even if you keep them all in the Tang Dynasty, there are still some other places.Baekje once signed an agreement with a certain country, and Fuyu Yici agreed to take one of his sons as a hostage there.This country had an ugly name at that time—Waguo (Wo means "short". Later, the Japanese thought it was ugly, so Empress Wu Zetian decreed to change the name of our country to Japan. The Japanese name has been around for a long time, but it was established at this time. up)

Prince Fuyufeng, whose Japanese name is "Fuyu Fengzhang", for him, the difference between Waguo and Baekje is nothing more than that when I love you, I don't say Salang, but Auntie Xitalu.Fu Yufeng, a Baekje man, wanted to go home, but the Japanese would not let him go back.Things have dragged on until now, and things are a little different.The Japanese will not let themselves go easily, unless Baekje shows some sincerity. The Koreans sent envoys to urge Japan to send troops to support the restoration of Baekje. In the eyes of the Japanese, the Koryo people are the most hateful. They will only sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, let Baekje, Japan and Datang fight, and he is waving the flag and shouting.When everyone has suffered heavy losses and Gai Suwen is full, he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.The Wa Kingdom had a difficult choice between sending troops or not sending troops, that is to say, they needed to choose between expanding their force to the Korean peninsula and accepting Gaisuwen's conspiracy.

... Making this kind of decision really feels a bit like a red deer wild man! However, the sincerity of Onimuro Fukunobu arrived, and he offered the 106 Tang soldiers who had just been captured (these Tang soldiers were placed in Qibu County, central Honshu, Japan by the king of Japan, and they would multiply in the future). Finally, Emperor Qi Ming made a difficult decision: send troops! Then he died. In accordance with Emperor Qi Ming's wishes, the special general Sakai Betel led 5,000 soldiers to go to Baekje first with Baekje Prince Fuyu Fengsang.The old general Guishi Fuxin, who was in the siege of the capital in Baekje, greeted Fu Yufeng's leader. He said that Liu Renyuan only had a few hundred people, and it should be easy to fight.He showed a respectful side in front of Fu Yufeng, and then went to the battlefield again, showing a capable side.Waiting for Liu Ren to surrender, the two sides have been in a stalemate for a long time, and no one has yet to give in.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the rear army. Liu Rengui led the coalition forces of Tang and Silla to attack Guishi Fuxin.Because of being attacked by Su Dingfang last time, the Baekje soldiers were very afraid of Tang Bing's murderous state, and everyone ran away.As a last resort, Onimuro Fukunobu led the troops to retreat, and finally saved the vitality of Fuguo. The Baekje soldiers had no enthusiasm for fighting. If it wasn't for lack of food, no one would want to seek death with Tang Jun here for the rice in the pot.Gai Suwen was very disappointed with Baekje's performance. He knew that it was impossible to count on his useless comrade-in-arms. Right now, the only way to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan is to urge the Japanese army to act quickly.

Japan may not be sincere in anything else, but it is absolutely sincere in fighting the war.The death of Emperor Qi Ming was heroic!Everyone expressed deep condolences to the emperor. The newly enthroned Emperor Tianzhi continued the method of Emperor Qiming and sent tens of thousands of troops to the battlefield of Baekje.The tens of thousands of Japanese troops were divided into front and rear armies. The front army was led by Atsubirov, and the rear army was led by Abe Hikita Birov. Amaterasu, please cover me! The two dear friends traveled across the ocean, with extremely firm beliefs in their hearts.

Baekje became a sea of ​​bloody battles, and Liu Rengui joined forces with Silla to conquer several cities in Baekje one after another.The extremely excited coalition forces were about to continue their onslaught, but Silla issued a very strange order-withdrawal. why? Lack of food, hungry panic. What do you ask Tang Jun to do? You go to the capital and join Liu Renyuan, we will help you when we are full! It's too cheating. Silla unilaterally announced the withdrawal of troops, which gave Baekje a rare chance to breathe, and also bought precious time for the Japanese army's voyage.At the imminent moment, the god of luck visited Liu Rengui again.In order to rewrite history more like the plot of the dog-blood TV series, the screenwriter named God is determined to let the two comrades Fuxin and Daochen fight among themselves, so as to achieve an unexpected and reasonable effect and win more people. Ratings.

In this way, Baekje internal strife broke out, and the siege against Liu Renyuan was also relaxed.But things couldn't just be delayed like this. After Li Zhi received the battle report, he immediately wrote a letter to King Jin Chunqiu of Silla, asking him to support him quickly. Only then did Jin Chunqiu send General Jin Qin to lead the rescue, and Jin Qin went, taking the care of the Emperor of Tang! Jinqin's rescue team failed to reach Fucheng because they were stopped by Fuxin on the way.Because they couldn't defeat Fuxin, everyone was defeated and fled. Silla's rescue ended when Baekje sent countless free supplies.

General Jin Qin's route was to abscond from Geling Road. I don't know how he will live in the future, anyway, he never dared to show his face again.Onimuro Fukunobu's revolution was not for the restoration of Baekje, but for himself.Because of his discord with Dao Chen, he hacked the monk to death.Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan, who were in the capital of Baekje, almost collapsed. It is impossible for Silla to come, and they can only wait for the imperial court to send someone to rescue them. However, this is also impossible. The army of the Tang Dynasty had already gathered at the border of Koryo. Led by Su Dingfang, they broke through the city of Koryo one after another and pushed them all the way to the city of Pyongyang.

Wanting to move reinforcements is tantamount to moving troops from Pyongyang. At this juncture, whoever draws troops from where they are most needed is short-sighted.Besides, Goryeo is the most worthy target.Li Zhi was delighted by Su Dingfang's continuous battles and victories. He was in Luoyang, so happy that he was going crazy, and even discussed with the ministers about the imperial conquest. It has to be said that Li Zhi is still a good emperor who likes to do things by himself and wants to achieve some achievements. The courtiers understood one by one, they knew that Li Zhi wanted to imitate Li Shimin, but the situation was completely different.Li Shimin was a soldier at any rate, but in the end he was injured by an arrow.Li Zhi stayed in the palace since he was a child, went out to hunt, he had seen shooting a bird, killing a pig, etc. He had never seen a war in the true sense.In the end, it was Empress Wu who had the strength. She tried her best to oppose Li Zhi's imperial conquest. Seeing that everyone opposed it, Li Zhi gave up.

Poor Liu Ingui stayed in the neglected Baekje battlefield and was oppressed by Onimuro Fukunobu and the Japanese army. This can't be blamed on others, because since the Tang army crossed the Yalu River, Li Zhi has already dispatched Qibi Heli's troops and sent him to fight in the Western Regions.Before Qibi Heli was transferred away, tens of thousands of elite soldiers led by Gai Suwen's eldest son Yuan boys gathered on the banks of the Yalu River, intending to prevent the opponent from breaking through.Qibi Heli waited until the end of September, when the temperature in the northeast dropped sharply, and the Yalu River was covered with a thick layer of ice. The soldiers and horses walked across the ice and successfully crossed the river.Yuan Boy, who was caught off guard, was chased by Qibi Heli for dozens of miles and lost more than 30,000 people. The removal of the chief general at this time was a huge blow to our army. Later stories tell us that this was a last resort. On February 14th, the second year of Longshuo (AD 662), Ren Yaxiang, the head of the Weijiang Road, died in the army.Five days later, Pang Xiaotai, governor of Baizhou, general of Zuo Xiaowei, and chief of Woju Road, fought with the Koryo army on the Snake River.Most of Su Dingfang, who had besieged Pyongyang for seven months, could not stand such cold weather.Between the ice and the snow, there were numerous and endless snowfalls, which made the soldiers understand the meaning of suffering from hunger and cold.In desperation, the army announced its withdrawal, and Tang's second expedition to Korea ended in failure. In the past few months, the actions of Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui who were waiting for rescue have exceeded everyone's imagination. Li Zhi issued an edict that it was very, very dangerous for Liu Rengui to guard an isolated city if the Pyongyang army had all withdrawn.It's better to go to Silla. If Jin Famin is willing to let them guard, they will stay there first.If you don't need it, just cross the sea and go home.Li Zhi's edict excited the soldiers who had stayed in Baekje for nearly a year.They began to pack their bags and prepare to cross the sea to go home. What is strange is that Liu Rengui has no intention of going home. He expressed his opinion on the emperor's edict, "The lord wants to destroy Goryeo, so let us suppress Baekje first. Although there are many rebels here, our defense is also very strict. It is reasonable to attack with all our troops and horses. " Seeing that everyone still didn't understand, Liu Rengui said, "Do you know why the imperial court didn't send troops? It's because we didn't have any results! , must be a teacher!" Now, right now, if you give up Baekje, you will give up guarding. If Koryo has not been defeated, and there is no foundation for the rear, when will Baekje be destroyed?When will Goryeo be destroyed? Liu Rengui waited quietly, but in the disappointed eyes of everyone, he calmly said to everyone: "We can't go to Silla, Fucheng is located in the center of Baekje, and the location is very good. , Under the eaves of others, unhappiness is inevitable. Wait, Fukunobu Onimuro is a vicious and brutal person. He has already killed the monk. What will happen next is not the bombardment against us, but against their own people massacre!" "All we have to do is wait!" Onimuro Fukunobu's situation is still very aggrieved, whether it is Datang, Korea or Japan, he can't afford to offend him.Gui Shisang pondered for several days, and heard that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued an imperial decree to let Liu Rengui, who was in Fucheng, withdraw his troops. This envoy was really good enough. He succinctly revealed the thoughts of Fu Yufeng and Guishi Fuxin. When he saw Liu Rengui, he said, "When will the ambassador return? We will definitely see you off!" Liu Rengui smiled and said It must be time to leave, because the sacred order is hard to break. The envoy, Pi Dian'er, left. Looking at the back of the Baekje envoy, Liu Rengui ordered that all the Tang soldiers in the city who could breathe be ready to rush out of the city gate! Baekje Zhiluocheng (Korean Huaide), Yincheng, Dashan, and Shajing were captured by Tang soldiers successively, and countless prisoners were captured. Fukunobu Onimuro never imagined that the little Tang soldiers in Fucheng would dare to fight out and occupy so many camps.He occupied Zhenxian City (Cen County, South Korea) and gathered all the elites here. Then, he analyzed the situation and made a wrong judgment.Onimuro Fukunobu expressed nervously that Tang's soldiers were few and must be exhausted after conquering several cities one after another. Guishi Fuxin is right, Liu Rengui is really tired and stupid. In the middle of the night, he led a group of people, carrying ropes and weapons, to the foot of Zhenxian City and began to climb the wall.In the early morning of the second day, the battle came to an end, and the Tang Army occupied Zhenxian City along the Baijiang Estuary, and the Baekje soldiers in the city launched a special escape contest.What I have to say is that because Liu Rengui's people are too few, he can't take care of the other side if he can take care of one side. Although Zhenxian City has been occupied, the soldiers of Guishi Fuxin have almost run away. Li Zhi received the good news from Liu Rengui, and he was moved by Liu Rengui's courage. He decided to send some troops to Liu Rengui, and the imperial edict required the treasury troops in Zizhou, Qingzhou, Laizhou, Haizhou and other places to gather and go to Baekje by boat.Due to the limited number of ships, a total of 7,000 soldiers from the Shandong Peninsula crossed the sea and became the main force in the battle of Baijiangkou.Things were developing according to Liu Rengui's prediction. Someone told Fu Yufeng that the ghost Fuxin wanted to use tricks to get rid of him, the new king. In the barracks, Onimuro Fukunobu pretended to be sick and asked soldiers to carry him to a cave to recuperate. Fu Yufeng expressed strong doubts about the violent general of soldiers and horses who went to the cave to recuperate his wounds. Oni Shi Fuxin, his brain was kicked by a donkey. Fu Yufeng knew that Guishi Fuxin was deceitful, but he readily agreed to visit the general.When Fu Yufeng came to the cave, Onimuro Fukunobu realized the seriousness of the matter.He didn't see the scene where his own people knocked Fu Yufeng down to the ground and chopped them into meat paste, because Fu Yufeng brought too many people, so he directly squeezed the killers he deployed into the corner of the cave and couldn't move. Seeing that he was seriously ill and still whimpering in pain, Fu Yufeng asked with concern: "Ghost Lord, are you okay?" Shi Fuxin chopped it into a meat paste.Subsequently, Fu Yufeng sent envoys to ask Goryeo and Wa to send troops to help out again.Since the last time they conquered the occupied area of ​​the Tang Dynasty together with Onimuro Fukunobu, the Japanese army paid a huge price, and they don't like to give up halfway if they can't get a cheap one. Japanese general Mao Yezhizi led 27,000 Japanese troops to support Baekje. This time, they knew the strength of Silla, so they landed directly from Silla (Silla in the east and Baekje in the west) without any detours, and first occupied several cities in Silla.People in Silla felt like they couldn't find the north, and they lost several important cities such as Shabiqi and Nujiang.The 7,000 soldiers led by Sun Renshi, the marching chief of Xiongjin Road in the Tang Dynasty and the general of Youweiwei, also joined Liu Rengui smoothly. According to the plan, Sun Renshi, Liu Renyuan, and Jin Famin will lead 5,000 troops to Zhouliu; Liu Rengui, Du Shuang, and Fuyulong will lead 7,000 sailors and grain ships from Xiongjin Port to Baijiang. Fu Yufeng went crazy, he asked the Japanese army to show some sincerity.The Japanese army agreed with Fu Yufeng's opinion, but demanded that the whole Baekje should pay tribute to Japan after the event was completed.What happened next, I was afraid that the Chinese information would be unfair to Japan, so I read it from the twenty-seventh volume of "Nihon Shoki" (a book completed in 720, the official history written by the Japanese themselves) "Dull out the information to describe the scene of Liu Rengui's battle at Baijiangkou. There were 170 large pine ships in the Tang Dynasty Navy, with 7,000 Tang soldiers on board. The ships of the Japanese navy were smaller but numerous, with tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers on board. Liu Rengui had been waiting for the Japanese attack at Baijiangkou. On August 17, the Japanese army launched the first wave of provocation.On August 27, the follow-up troops of the Japanese navy arrived one after another to fight Liu Rengui.The shocking killing sound lasted for several hours, and then the Japanese army retreated unfavorably, and the Tang army stood firm.On the twenty-eighth day, all the Japanese troops arrived and assembled with the Baekje King Fuyu Fengshui army, covering the ocean and making it endless. The Japanese army always had slogans before the battle. This time their slogan was: "We march forward bravely, and the enemy will retreat!" (The slogan is too much) With the belief of victory, tens of thousands of Japanese troops began to attack Liu Rengui. big ship. Tang Jun remained motionless. After the third impact, the ships of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be unable to hold on, and even opened a hole, giving way to the interior of the Baijiang River.The Japanese army moved forward bravely, opened the gap, and the wooden boats rushed into it one after another.However, they didn't expect that this was just a trick of Liu Rengui.When the Japanese ships rushed enough, he commanded from a distance, and the big ships of the Tang Dynasty immediately closed up and surrounded all the ships that came to die. The water turned red. More than 400 Japanese ships were burned, and more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers were beheaded and drowned. Seeing that the situation was over, Fu Yufeng led his cronies to flee to Korea.
