Chapter 397 Guo Daifeng's decision

Baekje wants to restore its country, but it can't do it on its own, so it can only seek foreign aid.

Although Goguryeo was Baekje's ally, that was in the past. Now Baekje has been destroyed, why would Goguryeo help you restore your country?

Whether it is Silla, Baekje and Goguryeo, they are actually the same. They all want to destroy the other two countries and complete the great cause of unifying half of the island.

Now Baekje has been destroyed, why would Goguryeo help Baekje restore its country?

The most important point is that if the country is not restored, but the territory is occupied by Goguryeo, Baekje will not do the stupid behavior of inviting wolves into the house.

In this case, Japan becomes their first choice for foreign aid.

"So that's how it is. If that's the case, then we can understand why the Baekje survivors, instigated by Buyeo Bok-sin and others, all stood up to resist the Tang Dynasty." Guo Daifeng looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

Only in this way can it be explained why a few small fish and shrimps can stir up the storm. It turns out that there are big fish behind them.

"In my opinion! I should send troops immediately to capture Zhouliu City and cut off the possibility of Buyeo Feng returning to Baekje."

"As long as they are blocked overseas, the Baekje survivors will lose their backbone, and their chaos will collapse without a fight, and you and I can report to the higher authorities." Liu Renyuan said.

Liu Renyuan's idea was simple. As long as he could take Zhouliucheng and block Buyeo Feng overseas and prevent him from coming back, the Baekje survivors would lose their confidence in him over time.

At this time, the court would select a pro-Tang royal family from Buyeo Yici and his son to become the king, and Baekje could be completely pacified.

By then, even if Buyeo Feng could return to Baekje, it would be useless. Everything had already become a foregone conclusion.

"No, it's not the time yet. It won't be too late to talk about Zhouliucheng later." Guo Daifeng rejected Liu Renyuan's proposal.

"Why? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you can quell the rebellion in Baekje, it will add a significant achievement to your resume and will be beneficial to your promotion in the future." Liu Renyuan said. He did not expect Guo Daifeng to reject his proposal.

"The matter of Zhouliu City is not urgent. What we have to do now is to wipe out the bandit gang of Shazha Xiangru. Shazha Xiangru and his gang are too close to us. Once we send troops to attack Zhouliu City."

"He will definitely attack our army from behind. By then, let alone attacking Zhouliu City, even Wangcheng and Xiongjin may be broken by him. Then we will become rootless duckweed."

"What should we do then? We can't allow others to snore beside our bed while a beast is sleeping next to us."

"If we don't wipe out Shazha Xiangru, how can we feel at ease to wipe out the rebels in Zhouliu City? So I decided to wipe out Shazha Xiangru first, and it will not be too late to send troops to Zhouliu City." Guo Daifeng said.

In fact, Guo Daifeng had his own little calculations. Since he knew about the existence of Fuyu Feng, he had other ideas.

The extermination of Shazha Xiangru was just an excuse for him. His real goal was Fuyu Feng. He wanted to capture Fuyu Feng alive and present him to the emperor.

Although suppressing the Baekje rebellion was a great achievement and could add a strong mark to his resume, how could it be compared with the achievement of capturing the king of a country alive?

He, Guo Daifeng, looked down on small shrimps like Fuyu Fuxin. His target was the big fish Fuyu Feng.

He, Guo Daifeng, either did not make any achievements, or he would make the greatest achievements, which would be enough to make him an existence admired by all generations.

"Shazha Xiangru is defending a strategic location. We want to attack Shazha Xiangru, but we have no way to take him down. Zhouliu City is easier to attack."

"If you are worried that Shazha Xiangru will come to take the city after we send out our troops, we can leave some people behind to guard it."

"I calculated that based on the current situation of Zhouliu City, we only need to send out 15,000 troops to take it down. The troops left behind can completely stop Shazha Xiangru's attack. You don't have to worry at all." Liu Renyuan advised. "

What Mr. Liu said makes sense, but we should be prepared for the worst. If something really happens and His Majesty blames us, who will bear the consequences, you or me?" Guo Daifeng said.

"This..." Liu Renyuan didn't know how to answer for a moment. He didn't dare to guarantee that what Guo Daifeng said would not happen.

"So, for safety's sake, you should do as I said. First, wipe out Shazha Xiangru, and then send troops to Zhouliu City." Guo Daifeng said while the iron was hot. " In that case

! Then I will go back and prepare immediately, and send troops to wipe out Shazha Xiangru and his gang of bandits as soon as possible to ensure that we have no worries."

Guo Daifeng got up and left without giving Liu Renyuan any chance to refute. What

Guo Daifeng had to do now was to encircle and suppress Shazha Xiangru in a high-profile manner, so that Fuyu Fuxin and others in Zhouliu City would relax their vigilance and bring Fuyu Feng back as soon as possible.

Only then could he send troops to Zhouliu City to capture Fuyu Feng alive and present him to the emperor. He was now eager to capture Fuyu Feng.

As for the reinforcements brought by Fuyu Feng, Guo Daifeng did not take him seriously at all. How could a small island country in Japan, which was isolated overseas, be a match for the heavenly soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?

After Guo Daifeng returned, he immediately ordered the army to set out to encircle and suppress Shazha Xiangru.

Looking at the back of Guo Daifeng who was walking away without looking back, Liu Renyuan sighed helplessly. He felt helpless that Guo Daifeng did not listen to his advice. Guo Daifeng was not his subordinate, and he could not command him.

Now he could only hope that Guo Daifeng could quickly eliminate Shazha Xiangru, and then send troops to attack Zhouliu City.

If he had not been short of troops, why would he have asked for help from a young man like Guo Daifeng?

"General! Guo Daifeng may not be reliable. We need to find another way." The military officer who had been silent spoke up.

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Renyuan asked.

"I am worried that before Guo Daifeng can kill Shazha Xiangru, Buyeo Feng will arrive with the Japanese reinforcements. By then, our army will be attacked from all sides and will be doomed."

"General, have you ever thought about how to explain to His Majesty? Baekje is the bridgehead for attacking Goguryeo. If Baekje is lost and His Majesty blames us, losing our job is a small matter, but I am afraid that my life will be in danger!" said the military officer.

Liu Renyuan was terrified when he thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what the military officer said made sense. He could not let his reputation be ruined by a young man like Guo Daifeng.

"In your opinion, what should we do now?" Liu Renyuan asked.

"Write a letter immediately and send it to Chang'an to ask His Majesty to send reinforcements. We should report everything about Guo Daifeng and Japan to His Majesty without missing a word." The military officer said.

"Okay! Just do as you say. I will write a letter and send it to Chang'an." Liu Renyuan said, and immediately went back to the study to write a letter to Li Chengqian.
