Apparently, he had forgotten that he had received the news that the Tang court did not allow anyone to mobilize the Tang army to leave the border of the Tang Dynasty.
What's more, the granary of the Tang Dynasty's border army was burned down.
Wherever the army would come to help him.
Cheng Chumo couldn't bear to break the illusion of the King of Silla.
But at this moment, apart from staying in Silla to support himself, Cheng Chumo could only hope that Zhao Chen could come and help him.
At the same time, Qin Huaiyu also returned to the Baekje Palace.
Compared to the King of Silla who gave all his trust to Cheng Chumo, the King of Baekje actually wanted to lead Baekje to surrender directly to the Japanese.
The King of Baekje believed that with their strength, it was impossible for them to be the opponent of Japan.
Rather than fighting the Japanese and ending up with numerous casualties, it would be better to surrender before the war even begins.
At least this way, most of the people in Baekje can save their lives.
But such an idea was sternly rejected by Qin Huaiyu.
Qin Huaiyu did not expect that the King of Baekje called him back because he wanted him to surrender to the Japanese country with his army.
Although Qin Huaiyu is now a general in Baekje, he has always been a general of the Tang Dynasty.
How is it possible for him to surrender to Japan?
Qin Huaiyu was very angry.
He did not expect that Baekje's monarchs and ministers were so greedy for life and fearful of death that they would sacrifice thousands of miles of territory in order to survive.
It's ridiculous that when he and Cheng Chumo said goodbye, they would definitely help each other and jointly protect the safety of Silla and Baekje.
But I didn't expect...
"Your Majesty, have you really decided this way?" Qin Huaiyu asked the King of Baekje one last time.
The King of Baekje's eyes darkened slightly. In his opinion, Qin Huaiyu was a good general and one of the best among them in Baekje.
But this Baekje is, after all, our own Baekje.
He is the king of Baekje.<
br>
What the future of Baekje will look like is decided by him, the king.
Now Qin Huaiyu is questioning himself like this, what does it mean?
"General Qin, I have made a decision and the whole country will surrender."
"As for General Qin, if you hand over your military power, go back to where you came from!" King Baekje said slowly.
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of guards with sharp weapons suddenly appeared from all around the palace, looking at Qin Huaiyu with eager eyes.
Obviously, the King of Baekje had already prepared.
He was not discussing surrender with Qin Huaiyu!
Qin Huaiyu turned around and looked around, then slowly looked at the King of Baekje in front of him, and sighed: "People who are greedy for life and afraid of death often end up not having a good death."
"Presumptuous!" A guard yelled at Qin Huaiyu.
But he was stopped by the King of Baekje.
The King of Baekje didn't want to do anything to Qin Huaiyu.
After all, Qin Huaiyu's identity is not simple, and it is said that His Highness the King of Han in the Tang Dynasty treated Qin Huaiyu as a brother.
There is a 90% chance that His Highness the King of Han will become the new monarch of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
No matter how stupid he, the King of Baekje, was, he would not be stupid enough to kill Qin Huaiyu and offend the future monarch of the Tang Dynasty.
Besides, Qin Huaiyu was very capable. Although he only had one arm, if he was not careful and was killed by him, he would really be in big trouble.
"General Qin, take care!" King Baekje held the military talisman handed over by Qin Huaiyu and held it in hand with Qin Huaiyu.
Qin Huaiyu turned around and left without saying another word.
…
"Zhao Chen, Cheng Chumo has sent you a letter!" As soon as Zhao Chen returned to his residence in Shacheng, Wu Xu came over with Cheng Chumo's letter.
Zhao Chen took the letter and started reading it.
"What did you say?" Wu Xu asked curiously.
"Your Highness, a letter has been sent from Qin Huaiyu." Qin Sanpao knocked on the door, holding a letter in his hand.
Zhao Chen put down Cheng Chumo's letter, opened the door and took Qin Huaiyu's letter from Qin Sanpao.
After reading it, Zhao Chen's face was obviously not as good-looking as before.
Obviously Qin Huaiyu's letter made Zhao Chen feel a little bad.
"Show me?" Wu Xu stretched out his hand, and Zhao Chen handed the letter to her, then sat on the chair and drank a sip of tea without saying a word.
"How could this be?"
"Is there something wrong with the King of Baekje? He is preparing to surrender to Japan without sending any troops?"
"Won't his ancestors go to him to settle accounts at night?" Wu Xu was obviously very angry after reading Qin Huaiyu's letter.
In the letter, Qin Huaiyu told Zhao Chen about his military power being taken away and being driven out of Baekje, as well as the king of Baekje's preparations to surrender the country to Japan.
Zhao Chen can actually understand the thoughts of Baekje monarchs and ministers.
It is impossible for Silla and Baekje to be rivals of Goguryeo and Japan. Baekje is not a rival at the same level as Japan.
Rather than being defeated and annihilating the country, it would be better to surrender directly to the Japanese. This way, the status of Baekje's monarchs and ministers can be preserved, and the safety of Baekje's people can also be guaranteed.
But the king of Baekje didn't understand the Japanese country. Even if Baekje surrendered, the Japanese country would not let them go.
Not to mention the distance, if Goguryeo attacked Silla, the Japanese would definitely ask the King of Baekje to send troops to fight for Silla's territory.
Baekje wants to be alone, it’s just a dream!
"Zhao Chen, why don't you say anything?" Wu Xu felt very strange when he saw that Zhao Chen didn't express any attitude towards this matter.
"What did you say?" Zhao Chen looked at Wu Xu.
"impeach
Attack these Baekje monarchs and ministers who do not distinguish right from wrong and have no eyesight."
"What's the use of criticizing them?" Zhao Chen smiled and said: "They thought that surrendering to the Japanese country would be fine, but the facts will make them regret it."
"They regret it. Are you going to deal with Baekje?" Wu Xu looked at Zhao Chen strangely.
"Deal with Baekje?" Zhao Chen shook his head: "The Japanese will let them live quietly?"
"Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, Japan, and even the Tang Dynasty, no one can escape this whirlpool!"
…
Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.
Lao Li rubbed his eyes, his face full of exhaustion.
He really didn't sleep well these days.
Xu Shiji's news came, saying that Goguryeo and Japan might jointly attack Silla and Baekje.
But Lao Li was shocked.
It was not because Goguryeo and Japan were attacking Silla and Baekje, but because he was worried that Zhao Chen, who had gone to Shacheng, would lead his army to participate in this war.
That time in Quanzhou frightened Lao Litou for a long time.
He was worried that something might happen to Zhao Chen and he would never see Zhao Chen again.
He had already made up his mind for this.
Zhao Chen has no problem walking around in the Tang Dynasty. Zhao Chen must not be allowed to leave the territory of the Tang Dynasty, especially when he leads an army on an expedition.
Zhao Chen's military exploits have surpassed almost all the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Chen's status absolutely no longer needs any military exploits to stabilize.
Although he never really spoke, he was sure of Zhao Chen's identity as the prince.
But everyone knows that Zhao Chen will be the prince of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
What Li Shimin needs to do is to ensure the safety of the prince.
Moreover, this war would not endanger the safety of his country, so Zhao Chen could not take such a risk.
