However, when the Baekje fleet was on its way back, after just an hour of sailing, the Baekje coastline could already be seen, but it was besieged by a large fleet in front.
This fleet did not fly any flags, but the entire fleet consisted of more than fifty large ships, which directly surrounded the Baekje fleet. As soon as it came up, there was a hail of arrows, including blazing rockets.
After a great battle, the Baekje general saw that something was not going well. He quickly ordered his lieutenant to take several large ships and the three captured large ships to stand out from the fleet and run away.
The rest of the Baekje fleet was pestering the sudden appearance of the fleet, and even if they tried to sink the ship, they would not let any ship in this fleet leave the fleet.
Seeing that the duck in hand flew away like this, this fleet without any markings was obviously very angry, so it caught Baekje's fleet and started a chaotic fight.
Unfortunately, it is very close to Baekje.
Therefore, after more than an hour of chaotic fighting, more than 20 large ships came to support from Baekje Harbor.
Seeing this, the unmarked fleet quickly broke away from the battle and fled to the other side of the sea.
"General Sha, this fleet is the Tang Navy?"
The generals of the Baekje fleet who came to support looked at the fifty or so large ships slowly leaving the warships with a gloomy look on their faces.
"It's not the Tang Navy, but the Goguryeo Navy!"
General Sha said with a face full of hatred, "Although those Goguryeo thieves have been covering up, I can still hear the words of the Tang people and Goguryeo people!"
"Goguryeo navy?"
Hearing this, the general of the fleet who came to support couldn't help but be stunned, and then his face was full of hatred and he gritted his teeth!
"It's these thieves again. If I had known this, I should have chased them and left them all in the sea to feed the fish!"
"well!"
General Sha glanced at the scarred fleet around him and sighed helplessly, "General Xie, there is no need to be so upset. The Goguryeo bandit fleet is as numerous as our fleet. Even if we try our best, we can't bring them down."
Leave them all!”
Hearing this, General Jie, who came from behind to support him, sighed and ignored the Goguryeo fleet that was leaving. Instead, he turned around and asked, "General Sha, did you rob the Japanese ship?"
"Don't worry, General Xie. I will personally lead the troops, and the Japanese ships will not be able to escape!"
"Where are the Japanese ships?"
"Don't be anxious, General Xie. When I saw that the war was going badly, I asked my lieutenant general to take a few ships to protect the three Japanese ships and break out! Presumably, after a while, the lieutenant took the three ships and returned.
came back!"
"That's good!"
After bandaging the injured soldiers roughly, several large ships were sent to bring them back. The remaining ships continued to float in the middle of the sea, and several large ships were sent to follow the previous few ships.
I chased the fleet in the direction it was leaving.
However, two hours later, the sky began to gradually darken, and all the ships that were sent returned, but the sea in the distance was still empty without any ship.
"Perhaps those ships have returned to the harbor!"
General Sha smiled awkwardly, with a hint of luck in his tone.
After waiting for another half an hour, the fleet returned to the harbor in a mighty manner.
It's a pity that those big ships didn't go back.
General Sha and General Xie were naturally anxious.
However, the sea is not only vast, but also easy to get lost.
The two of them still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts. Maybe those large ships were just lost and would be back in a day or two.
However, five days later, more than ten large ships were sent out to explore the sea, but those large ships were never found.
In this way, the two of them looked desperate, something had really happened.
As for whether the deputy general would escape with the three large ships, they had never thought that all the generals on the ship were close relatives of their families, and besides the Japanese and Tang Dynasties, there were no countries around the sea that they could go to.
Similarly, Goguryeo and Silla, which had been paying attention to Baekje, were filled with joy when they saw that the Baekje ship had not returned, but began to speculate everywhere again.
Because only the three of them can destroy those large ships silently.
And the Japanese country...
As a result, an atmosphere of tension began to spread among the four countries.
But I don’t know.
The several large ships of Baekje and the three Japanese cargo ships were pulled back to a secret seaport in Qingzhou by several huge Cangzhou ships a few days ago.
The ten bottles of liquor on the Japanese ship, as well as 70,000 guan of goods and 20,000 guan of copper coins, were neatly placed in a large warehouse.
The blood drops on the armor on several bodies had not yet solidified. The old Shacai was staring at the tightly wrapped small box with a happy face. After opening it, it turned out to be bottles of white wine.
Soon, everyone was holding two bottles of liquor in their hands, grinning almost to their earlobes.
"As expected, His Highness the King of Jin can mobilize the navy of the Three Kingdoms and hundreds of ships with just one hundred thousand guans!"
"Now, the Japanese and Baekje children are in dire straits!"
"Hey, no matter what, we, the Tang Dynasty, are not involved anyway. I just can't bear the evil and send troops to quell the chaos!"
"I didn't expect that I would get ten bottles of liquor during a trip to sea. What a great joy!"
"I've been staying in Cancheng and Shicheng for the past few months. I almost feel like I'm having fun in my mouth. Let's try it first!"
"Oh, you bastard..."
In an instant, the entire warehouse was filled with the aroma of wine.
Afterwards, more than forty wooden boxes were opened, all containing Kaiyuan Tongbao.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jin is indeed willing to spend money!"
"Every soldier who goes to sea will receive a share of the money!"
"There are also these silks, beef jerky, tea leaves, refined salt..."
"Give some of the refined salt, beef jerky, and pickled vegetables to the soldiers, and send the rest to the shops in Qingzhou and Dengzhou to sell them!"
"good!"
In this way, the three large ships of Japan and the several large ships of Baekje truly disappeared into the sea, and no one knew their whereabouts.
Only in Lijiazhuang, which is far away in Chang'an City, there are hundreds more boxes of Kaiyuan Tongbao in the warehouse!
And because of the disappearance of these large ships, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Japan, the four countries also began to eye each other, and even started to fight against each other.
Half a month later, the Japanese nation sent hundreds of ships and ten thousand soldiers to suddenly attack Suwon Castle at the southernmost tip of Baekje.
In less than a day, Shouyuan City was destroyed and all the people in the city were slaughtered.
And just two days after the Japanese attack, Silla sent 20,000 troops to attack the cities of Longhua and Gulu in Baekje!
For a time, Baekje was faced with enemies on both sides.
At the same time, Goguryeo also sent troops with tacit understanding to attack Yurae, Coral and other cities in Baekje.
A few days later, after Silla captured several cities such as Yonghwa and Gulu in Baekje, it stopped attacking Baekje and instead sent troops north to attack Goguryeo.
Baekje, which lost its troops and generals but also lost several large ships, was also full of anger. Facing the attacks of Goguryeo and Japan, it directly mobilized the whole country to resist.
Even, filled with anger, the Baekje soldiers directly repelled the Japanese soldiers and even pursued them all the way to the Japanese mainland.
Chaotic wars began between Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla and Japan!
However, as the culprit of these wars, Li Xuan still did not pay too much attention to these matters.
