Chapter 409: Li Mu and Xue Libu rendezvous


As Li Mu guessed.

Intense negotiations are underway between Baekje and the Wa Kingdom.

It's strange to say.

Like the king of Silla, the king of Baekje, Buyejang, was officially canonized by the Tang Dynasty.

At the beginning of Wude, Fuyu Zhang was canonized by Li Yuan as the king of Obifang County and the king of Baekje.

Baekje, which is close to the Tang Dynasty, is not close to the Tang Dynasty, but is a distant Silla, and has a deep relationship with the Tang Dynasty.

Baekje, however, had close ties with the Wa Kingdom.

The royal family on both sides is related to marriage.

In this negotiation, Baekje has no bargaining capital, so he has to ask for help.

The only point of support is the close relationship between Baekje and the Wa Kingdom.

But the Wa King Shu Ming Huangtian Village has a great appetite, and he wants the whole of Kangzhou, including Gaya.

With Gaya as a springboard and occupying Connecticut, then the Wa Kingdom has the possibility of going north.

Although Connecticut still has a small half in the hands of Silla, more than half is in the hands of Baekje.

To spit out this piece of fat, the king of Baekje, Fuyuzhang, was obviously reluctant.

Not only was he reluctant, but Fuyu Zhang also understood that if the wolf of the Wa Kingdom was released into the peninsula, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So, the two sides have been arguing over this issue for several days.

No agreement has been reached. 。

Four days later, Silla gathered an army of about 50,000 men with all its might, and launched an all-out counterattack in the south, center, and north towards the Han River and the west of the Nakdong River.

The next day, Shenjiwei went out of the city to attack the Baekje army that was besieging the cities of Myro and Zoro.

The god guard held on for a month, and he was so suffocated that he had worms all over his body.

Now that the ban has been opened, the momentum is like a tiger coming down the mountain, howling.

The Baekje army, which surrounded the cities of Myro and Zoro, quickly collapsed unprepared.

In three days, the North Road Suding Fang Department connected Kebinwen, Shenqiu, Shengyi and other seven cities, and advanced to Xiongjin.

On the south road, Xue Libu Lianke Wuxi, Muzhi and other five cities, the front of the army pointed directly at Sihyun, the capital of Baekje.

After Li Mu received the report, he hurriedly ordered the two armies to immediately stop attacking and occupy the city on the spot for repairs.

In fact, there is no need for Li Mu to order, Su Dingfang and Xue Li have already realized it.

Three days, too rushed, the supply line stretched too long.

At the same time, the lone army is deep, and the supply line cannot guarantee safety.

Fortunately, Baekje was already reckless at this time, because the offensive of Silla in the east was even larger.

Therefore, it gave the god guard the opportunity to rectify and consolidate the supply line.

But the problem is that there is an obvious omission in Li Mu's prediction.

That is, under such circumstances, Baekje can no longer care about the ambitions of the Wa Kingdom.

Immediately agreed to Shu Mingming's request, ceded Kangzhou to the Wa Kingdom, and sent the prince Fuyu Feng to Jibo Osaka as a hostage.

In exchange for this, the Japanese sent troops to cross the sea to rescue.

The day after the agreement was reached, the Japanese sent an army of 50,000 troops that had already been assembled to cross the sea and land at Gaya, and the troops were divided into two routes, east and west, the east road advanced to the Jinjiang River, and the west road went north, attacking Gyeongju, Silla, and approaching Jinseong, the capital of Silla.

The tide of battle was reversed.

When the Japanese army entered the war, Baekje organized an army of 50,000 and cooperated with the Japanese army to launch a counterattack against Silla, and in only one day, the Silla army quickly collapsed, and they scattered to the east of the Han River and the Nakdong River, and only then did they organize an effective defense.

So far, all the gains since the beginning of the war have been lost.

The capital city of Silla, Jinseong, was in danger, and the king of Silla had no choice but to send troops east of the Nakdong River back to Jinseong.

When Li Mu got the information, he found that his judgment was wrong.

The judgment that the Japanese would participate in the war was correct, but Li Mu always thought that the Japanese would cross the sea and land at the mouth of the Baekje River as they would rescue Baekje in later generations.

Now that the Wa Kingdom has landed from Gaya, it is obviously beyond Li Mu's expectations.

Li Mu immediately ordered the Xue Li Department of the South Road to hold on to Muzhi and wait for reinforcements, and ordered the Su Dingfang Department to attack Xiongjin with all their might, striving to occupy Xiongjin City, the former capital of Baekje, before the Japanese army moved north, in order to hold on to it.

At the same time, Li Mu immediately ordered Wendeng 5,000 Shenji guards to cross the river and land in Zuolu to join the Xue Li Department, hoping to block the Japanese army in Muzhi and gain time for Su Dingfang to capture Xiongjin.

The reason why Li Mu did not order the retreat was that the situation had not deteriorated to the point where it could not be saved.

Because Li Tao's 100,000 troops were stationed in Liaodong.

As long as 30,000 people cross the sea to participate in the war, it will be enough to turn the situation on the peninsula.

Li Mu wrote two letters, one to Chang'an, and the other to Li Tao.

After that, he led 5,000 people across the river. 。

A day later, Li Mu and Xue Li rendezvous.

Seeing Xue Li's first sentence, Li Mu asked: "How are the casualties?"

Xue Li bowed his head and replied, "More than 150 people were killed and more than 300 were wounded. ” Before anything was done, the casualties added up to nearly five hundred.

Li Mu's face turned iron-blue.

Xue Li saw that Li Mu's face was not worried, and hurriedly explained: "The last general was ordered to retreat on the way back to Muzhi, and encountered the Japanese army, and a fierce battle broke out. ” Liu Renliang also distinguished Xue Li on the side: "This is not to blame General Xue, at that time, the Japanese army attacked our army in two ways, east and west, and the strength was several times that of me, if it wasn't for General Xue's quick decision and personally led the army to the palace, I am afraid that our army's retreat would have been cut off." ” Li Mu said coldly: "Whoever let you advance alone lose 500 people before the battle, how many soldiers do you plan to let stay in Baekje?"

Liu Renliang distinguished: "Your Highness is angry, in fact, our army does not suffer losses, although there are 500 casualties, but the right side of the Japanese army is almost disabled by our army, and the losses are at least more than 3,000 people. ” Li Mu said angrily: "I also quibble about how much money is spent on each soldier of the Divine Guard, even ten or twenty Japanese soldiers are not enough to compare with one Divine Guard soldier.

Before I sent out the army, I told you not to be greedy for merit, and the result?"

Xue Li bowed and said: "The last general is guilty, please punish His Highness." ” Liu Renliang also fell silent.

Only then did Li Mu restrain his anger and asked, "What is the situation outside the city?"

Xue Li said: "The Japanese army was disabled by me all the way, and I didn't dare to attack rashly, but I just followed all the way to Muzhi City.

Now they are encamped outside the city and confront our army. ” "How is the combat power of the Japanese army?"

"It's not worth it."

Li Mu said with a slight sarcasm: "It's not worth it, and it will make you suffer 500 casualties."

Xue Li said with a little grievance: "Your Highness doesn't know that after the five cities of Shenji Guard, such as Wuxian and Muzhi, the arrows, heavenly thunder, and grain and grass brought by them have all been extinguished, and this battle is completely the victory of the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Guard and the Japanese army.

If the supply is complete, the last army will have 3,000 men enough to crush the enemy forces outside the city. ” Li Mu glanced at Xue Li, "That's not because you are greedy for merit, I told you earlier, remember to advance steadily and ensure the safety of the supply line." ” Xue Li didn't dare to answer again.

Li Mu was almost angry at this time, and he no longer blamed Xue Li.

Calming down, Li Mu asked, "Tell me about the situation of the Japanese army." ”:
