Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Buyeo Yici knew very well that if they refused the Tang army's persuasion to surrender, all the people of Baekje would die.

Especially the heads of the Buyeo royal family were considered military exploits in the eyes of the Tang army.

For the sake of future wealth and glory, what's wrong with him bowing his head temporarily?

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Gou Jian, King of Yue, was defeated and captured by Fu Chai, King of Wu. He endured humiliation but remained silent. After returning to his country, he worked hard and finally succeeded in revenge and made Yue a powerful country.

Today, Fu Yu Yici will imitate King Gou Jian of Yue and sleep on firewood and taste gall!

"Hey~"

"Our Baekje nation is destroyed!"

When the pro-war officials saw Buyeo Yici surrender to the Tang army, they felt completely disheartened.

Their spines, which had been straight for decades, were bent at this moment.

When Buyeo Yici saw that his ministers had a gloomy face, his eyes were filled with complexity and he sighed secretly in his heart.

"How could you possibly know the king's forbearance?"

"I believe that after ten years or so, you will be able to see my painstaking efforts!"

Buyeo Yiji was able to sit on the throne of crown prince honestly for thirty-four years without thinking of rebelling to take the throne early, which proves that he had extraordinary patience.

Shaking his head, Buyeo Yici gave the order in a hoarse voice.

"Everyone in Juba City, follow me to the north gate immediately to welcome the Tang army into the city!"

"As ordered!"

The civil and military officials in the hall responded in a low voice.

As the order was issued, the city of Juba was instantly in turmoil, especially among a group of ordinary people who were completely unaware of the situation, and their opposition was very loud.

"Why did the king surrender to the Tang army?"

"We have many soldiers and generals in Baekje, why should we be afraid of a mere ten thousand Tang troops?"

"I beg the king to revoke his order. Let us work together to drive the Tang army away!"

After surrendering to the Tang army, the territories of Baekje and Silla were under the jurisdiction of the Tang army. The land distribution that the king had originally promised to give them would probably become a pipe dream.

After the officials who notified the people to leave the city and surrender asked the people to calm down, he shouted unwillingly.

"The Tang army has killed 7 of our Baekje troops. Four great generals, Yunchong, Jiebaek, Nishikno and Buyeo Boksin, have died in the battle."

"The people of Xiongjin City, Daye City and Gusha City have all been massacred by the Tang army."

"The Tang army threatens the king. Those who surrender will live, and those who resist will die!"

"Do you still want to resist the Tang army to the end?"

Boom!

When the people heard this important news that was concealed by the court, they instantly became uneasy.

"Such a big thing happened in the court, but they didn't even tell us!"

"Several generals of the imperial court have been killed, and most of the soldiers have been killed. How can we resist the Tang army?"

The people were talking among themselves, their faces full of worry.

Without strong soldiers watching in front, we can't let these old, weak and sick people go to the battlefield and fight the Tang army with kitchen knives and hoes, right?

The people who had been clamoring to fight the Tang army to the death just a second ago suddenly shut their mouths.

After all, the Tang army massacred three cities, and their threats were not just talk.

It doesn’t matter if I can’t get any land, at least I can save my life, which is better than anything else.

The people, who were originally filled with indignation, instantly understood the good intentions of the court.

Two hours later.

The four gates of Juba were opened wide, and all the soldiers took off their armor and laid down their weapons.

Under the leadership of Buyeo Yici, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians from Juba City walked out of the north gate and knelt respectfully on the ground waiting for the arrival of the Tang army.

"Boom~"

There was a burst of dense horse hoof sounds on the surrounding official roads, and soon a large flag with Tang characters appeared in everyone's sight.

"The Tang army is coming!"

Engu said with a little excitement, pointing at the Tang cavalry in front.

Seeing Engu's posture, the group of officials kneeling behind him all stared at him with hatred.

Even Buyeo Yici, who regarded Eun Gu as his confidant, couldn't help but frown at this moment.

"Could this guy be a spy of the Tang army?"

"How can you be happier about surrendering to the Tang army than winning a battle?"

En Gu felt the unfriendly looks from the king and his other colleagues. He touched the tip of his nose angrily and then buried his head deeply.

I swear to God, he really has no connection with the Tang Dynasty at all.

In the formation of the Tang cavalry.

Du He ordered Xue Rengui: "Rengui, you will lead your 2000 cavalry into the city from the west gate and take control of all the city defenses!"

"Especially the houses near the streets, we need to go inside and check if there is anything unusual."

It is better to be safe than sorry, but you can't get caught in the crossfire at a critical moment.

"promise!"

Xue Rengui led his soldiers, bypassed the dense crowd in front, and ran quickly towards the west gate.

It didn't take long.

Du He, Su Dingfang and others came to Buyeo Yici and others.

"Welcome to the Heavenly Army!"

Led by Buyeo Yiji, tens of thousands of Baekje soldiers and civilians knelt down and kowtowed to Du He and others.

Faced with the stern-faced Tang army, Buyeo Yici and all the civil and military officials were filled with anxiety.

The Tang envoys are so arrogant, their commander must be no pushover.

Just as they were feeling extremely anxious, Du He swiftly jumped off his horse, walked up to Buyeo Yici with a cheerful face, and helped him up.

"King Yici, there's no need to be so polite. We are a family from now on!"

Forehead...

Buyeo Yici and a group of officials were all stunned by Du He's good attitude.

Is the Tang army commander so easy to talk to?

It is true that handsome men make people feel like spring breeze!

"Whoo~"

Buyeo Yici secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense expression slowly relaxed.

He stood up, clasped his fists towards Du He and said, "General Tian is right. In the future, under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty, our Baekje will surely live a more prosperous life than it is now!"

Du He nodded slightly, then glanced around and spoke in a low voice.

"King Yici, let's go into the city now. This general has something good to tell you."

"As for the soldiers and civilians, wait until our people enter the city before bringing them in."

Upon hearing Du He's arrangement, Buyeo Yici quickly nodded in response.

"It's all up to God!"

Buyeo Yici's servile performance made some of the ministers behind him shake their heads.

Such a humble attitude would only encourage the arrogance of the Tang army, and there would be no initiative at all in the subsequent negotiations.

Du He patted Buyeo Yici's shoulder with a smile, then jumped on his horse and gave orders to Xi Junmai and Wang Jun'e.

"Keep an eye on the people below you. If there are any who disobey orders or lead a riot, you can execute them first and report later."

"As ordered!"

Xi Junmai and Wang Jun'e clasped their fists with serious expressions.

After giving the instructions, Du Helema walked past Buyeo Yici and spoke in a light tone.

"King Yici, let's go into the city now!"

Buyeo Yici and all the civil and military officials followed hurriedly.
