In October of the eighth year of Zhenguan, the very anxious Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu received the good news that Goguryeo had withdrawn its troops. They left Silla directly without leaving any room for imagination.

At first, Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu doubted whether the other party would set up an ambush, so they sent people to investigate very carefully. The result was that Goguryeo had indeed withdrawn its troops. They finally confirmed their previous guesses and confidently and boldly took back the lost territory one after another.
The news spread back to Jincheng, and the dark clouds of war that had previously filled Silla finally began to dissipate. Unlike Jincheng's happiness, Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu were full of black lines after regaining their lost territory.
Because all the recaptured cities were in dilapidated condition, the people were displaced and miserable, and the material reserves were plundered. The fierce battles between Silla and Baekje had already consumed all the domestic food and grass, and the gold
Regardless of the situation, Yu Xin and Jin Chunqiu immediately counterattacked Goguryeo after the battle with Baekje, in an attempt to recover the lost territory, which made the impoverished treasury even worse.
The question now facing Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu is whether to help these displaced people rebuild their homes?
Will Baekje give them this opportunity?
The problem is serious and makes them very worried.
"It can't be controlled." Jin Chunqiu said decisively: "Baekje may temporarily stop its troops and wait until the weather gets warmer next year before attacking again, but we have no time. We must return to Jincheng immediately to rest our troops and prepare for the war against Baekje. If we waste time here,
When Baekje comes back, we will be caught off guard."
"But regardless of these people, are we going to watch them die in the winter?" Jin Yuxin looked at the crowd under the city wall with a very dark mood.
Population is the foundation of a country. These people roughly add up to hundreds of thousands. How can we do it if we see that they cannot survive this winter. However, what Jin Chunqiu said is also true. If we spend our energy to control these people, then hundreds of thousands of people will not be able to survive this winter.
What should Ji do?
The wars that broke out one after another have almost exhausted their supplies. How can they ensure that they can fully cope with Baekje's attack if they use them to relieve refugees?
Disaster!
Jin Chunqiu said cruelly: "If Silla cannot be saved, they will die sooner or later. Only by thoroughly hurting Baekje can peace be restored. This is helpless."
He couldn't bear it in his heart, but he had no choice. If he didn't do this, what could he do? All the materials in Silla were used in the war, and there was no extra left for the people of Silla.
"Okay, I understand." Jin Yuxin sighed softly. Although he was helpless, he had to do this.
The next day, Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu led their troops back and did not take care of the Silla people who suffered from the military disaster. It was not that they did not care, but that they could not take care of them.
Because Baekje is still watching.
Baekje Royal Fortress, Sixie.
Buyeo Yiji was a little unhappy when he learned that Goguryeo had withdrawn and that Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu had returned with their troops. He plotted against Goguryeo, but was also plotted against Goguryeo. Goguryeo did not compete with Silla as he thought.
Instead of fighting to the death, they chose to plunder once and leave. Although Goguryeo brought a lot of trouble to Silla, it was far different from what Buyeo Yiji wanted.
"A very smart choice." Buyeo Yiji said to King Buyeojang of Baekje: "If Kim Yushin and Kim Chunqiu stay in the north, I will attack Silla immediately."
Buyeo Zhang asked: "So, you plan to stop the army completely?"
He always knew that the previous retreat was a helpless move, and everyone in Baekje wanted to attack Silla again.
Fuyu Yiji shook his head, "Not completely, I just don't plan to attack Silla again for the time being. After all, it is getting colder and colder, which is not suitable for our soldiers to fight. I plan to wait until next year to attack Silla again. Moreover, I will not
I will keep my hand. Before, I was just testing Silla's bottom line, but now I have completely figured out Silla. Furthermore, after such a long time, how much food and grass reserves can Silla still have?"
"Yes." Fuyu Zhang nodded and said, "Since you have decided, then prepare well."
Fuyu Yici continued: "This war has been going on for so long, but the Tang Dynasty has never responded. It can be guessed that the Tang Emperor has no intention of getting involved here, which is a good thing for us."
Although Baekje has been showing goodwill to the Tang Dynasty, they are still worried that the Tang Dynasty will interfere in this matter. But now there is no movement from the Tang Dynasty, which makes them completely relieved. Although Buyeo Yiji has no intention to care about the attitude of the Tang Dynasty, but
He didn't want to offend the Tang Dynasty if he could.
"Just go ahead and do it." Fuyu Zhang said.
Buyeo Zhang had great trust in his prince.
"Yes, Father."
Fuyu Yici smiled slightly, full of confidence.
After Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu returned, they did not return directly to Jincheng, but immediately went to Jitong.
They were still worried that Baekje would take advantage of the situation and rob them.
Goguryeo just wanted to gain benefits and blackmail Silla, but Baekje wanted to destroy Silla.
Which of the two is more important is obvious at a glance.
Ji Tong.
"The Baekje Army has no sign of attacking." Jangchuan said to Jin Yuxin: "Before this, they made it look like they were going to attack, but they didn't take action. I guess that Baekje also wanted to wait for us and
Both sides of Goguryeo suffered losses, so they took advantage of the situation."
Having said this, Yan Chuan smiled easily.
Jin Chunqiu snorted, "Fuyu Yici doesn't have this chance anymore, and I will never give him the slightest chance again."
Jin Yuxin sighed softly, put his hands on the wall, and said melancholy: "I thought that as long as we work hard, we can keep Silla intact. But now, it seems that it is still difficult."
Jin Chunqiu pursed his lips and said: "If Baekje comes again, it will only be death. There is nothing to fear."
"What a spirit." Anchuan smiled and said, "It's good to have such a heart. As long as we work together, no matter how many times Baekje comes, they are destined to fail."
"The general is right."
Jin Yuxin said: "Although the Tang Dynasty did not send anyone to help us this time, we cannot give up asking for help from the Tang Dynasty. As long as the Tang Dynasty takes action, we can get a chance to breathe, otherwise we will be completely desperate to fight Baekje."
"Yes." Jin Chunqiu said: "The Tang Dynasty still needs to send people for help."
Although they were very disappointed that the Tang Dynasty failed to help Silla this time, there was no way. The only one who could help Silla was the Tang Dynasty. Baekje was a mortal enemy, and Goguryeo was a despicable country. The only one who could help Silla was the Tang Dynasty.
They have no choice.
What's more, the one who has the ability to help Silla is actually the Tang Dynasty. With the strength of the Tang Dynasty, they don't need to send troops. They only need to warn Baekje to make Baekje timid and even dare not attack Silla.
Of course, it would be better if Baekje offended the Tang Dynasty, so that Silla could use the Tang Dynasty to counterattack Baekje.
Anchuan hummed: "No matter what, as long as we get through it, we will be able to turn around. After this war, whether it is Baekje or Goguryeo, they must all understand that if they want to eat our Silla, there is no way
so easy."
"That's right." Jin Chunqiu said: "We can't get real peace if we blindly seek peace. Only by defeating Baekje and causing them heavy losses can we completely save Silla."
"Yes."
Everyone agreed.
Although Silla is weak, she will never let others bully her. Jin Chunqiu told himself silently in his heart.
