Chapter 399 Letter from Liu Renyuan

"You are right. I cannot only care about my own achievements and ignore the country and people of my ancestors. I have decided not to lead the army in person!" Li Chengqian said.

You should stop while you are ahead. People have given you the stage. Just follow the trend. Don't be too naughty, or you will be embarrassed if you can't get off the stage.

What's more, there are so many foreign guests here. Don't make it an international joke.

Zhangsun Wuji and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Chengqian insisted on leading the army in person, they didn't know what to do! Especially in front of so many foreign guests.

A group of foreign guests were in a state of confusion. They still didn't understand what happened. Didn't the emperor want to lead the army in person?

Why didn't he lead the army in person suddenly? What was going on?

The banquet continued.

A soldier ran over and came to the general of Jinwu Guard who was in charge of vigilance. He whispered something and handed something to the general of Jinwu Guard.

The general felt that the situation was urgent and immediately reported the matter and submitted the things together.

"Everyone! Liu Renyuan from Baekje sent an urgent message of 800 miles!" Wang Quan whispered in Li Chengqian's ear.

"Oh!" Li Chengqian put down the wine glass in his hand, took the handkerchief from the maid to wipe his hands, and took the information sent by Liu Renyuan from Wang Quan.

"I guess the Baekje rebellion has been quelled, and Liu Renyuan is announcing the good news to everyone! I congratulate you all!" Wang Quan said on the side.

After Li Chengqian read Liu Renyuan's information, his originally happy face turned cold. Seeing this,

Wang Quan's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Oh no, maybe he guessed wrong!" The Baekje King's rebellion has not been quelled, and it is very likely to be more serious than imagined. Then his congratulations just now...

Thinking of this, Wang Quan suddenly broke out in a sweat and did not dare to think about it further.

The abnormality here quickly attracted everyone's attention. Everyone was whispering and stretching their necks to look over here, trying to figure out what happened?

"Let's end the banquet today!" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Wang Quan accepted the order, turned and stepped forward, shouting: "Everyone, be quiet!"

Everyone stopped whispering and stared at Wang Quan, watching what he would say next.

"Your Majesty said: I am a little tired, so I will stop here today, everyone please go away!" Wang Quan shouted.

Li Chengqian stood up and left, and everyone hurriedly saluted and sent him off. After Li Chengqian left, Changsun Wuji and others were invited to go over.

"Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji and others saluted to Li Chengqian.

"No need to be polite! Everyone, please sit down!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone took their seats to express their gratitude. Li Ke asked, "Your Majesty! I just noticed that Your Majesty didn't look too good. What happened?"

"I just received an urgent report from Liu Renyuan." Li Chengqian said.

"Didn't Guo Daifeng already arrive in Baekje and serve as the governor of Xiongjin? He has 20,000 troops. Is it possible that even with Liu Renyuan's troops, he still can't wipe out the Baekje rebels?" Xu Jingzong asked in surprise.

At the banquet that just ended, Li Chengqian's face suddenly changed from joy to coldness. They didn't need to see Liu Renyuan's urgent report to know that it was definitely not a good thing.

Everyone was also guessing that Liu Renyuan and Guo Daifeng had not been able to deal with the Baekje rebels after joining forces, so what kind of chaos was Baekje in now?

It was probably impossible to rely on the old land of Baekje as a springboard to attack Goguryeo from both sides.

What on earth was Guo Daifeng doing? With 20,000 troops in hand, he couldn't put down the rebellion in Baekje.

"Liu Renyuan said that after Guo Daifeng arrived in Baekje, he helped him defeat the rebels in Baekje. He should have pursued the victory, but Guo Daifeng changed his mind at the last minute and went to suppress the bandits." Li Chengqian said.

"What? Guo Daifeng is from a military family after all. Doesn't he have any idea about which rebels and bandits should be eliminated first and which should be eliminated later?"

"If the rebels gain a firm foothold and ally with Goguryeo, they will suffer! How can Guo Daifeng be so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter?" Changsun Wuji said.

Buyeo Fuxin didn't need to ally with Goguryeo, but Guo Daifeng would still suffer. Why did he have to provoke Shazha Xiangru, one of the famous generals of Baekje?

To be honest, Guo Daifeng is not as capable as Shazha Xiangru.

Guo Daifeng was destined to suffer if he went to fight Shazha Xiangru.

"Let's not talk about whether the rebel leaders such as Buyeo Bok-sin in Baekje will unite with Goguryeo. It is still uncertain whether Goguryeo will support them."

"But one thing is certain, Buyeo Bok-sin and Monk Daochen have sent people overseas to welcome Buyeo Feng, who is a hostage in Japan, back to be their king to rally the hearts of the people of Baekje."

"This time, Japan will definitely send their troops to assist Buyeo Feng to return to Baekje to inherit the throne and control Baekje."

"In order to quell the rebellion in Baekje and the future strategy of conquering Goguryeo, Baekje must not fall into the hands of others. I have decided to send people to lead troops to Baekje again to solve the Baekje problem." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty, who is going to be sent this time? And how should Guo Daifeng be dealt with?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Who to send is a serious question. If the person who goes is someone who does not have much ability, he will just be sending his head to the other side.

This person must not only be a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, but also must be familiar with naval warfare. Otherwise, even if he is a brave and skilled general, it will be useless.

After all, this time it is necessary to confront the Japanese army on the sea, and if you don't understand naval warfare, you will only die.

"Your Majesty! I, Liu Rengui, am willing to lead the troops to Baekje to quell the rebellion, and I am familiar with naval warfare. If we are really unlucky this time and meet the Japanese army on the sea, I will definitely tell them to go back to where they came from." Liu Rengui stepped out and saluted.

"Okay! This time Liu Qing will lead the troops to Baekje, and unite with Liu Renyuan and Guo Daifeng. I order you to be the governor of Daifang Prefecture and the governor of Andong to suppress the rebels in Baekje. You will be fully responsible for the affairs of Baekje and control Guo Daifeng and the other two." Li Chengqian said.

Even if Liu Rengui did not stand up, Li Chengqian would have named him to go to Baekje to quell the rebellion in Baekje. After all, the Battle of Baekgang was commanded by Liu Rengui.

Although, if someone else went, relying on the shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty, they might not lose to the Japanese, but for safety reasons, he decided to send Liu Rengui.

After all, no one knows whether sending someone else will trigger a butterfly effect.

If a battle that should have been won ended in failure due to the butterfly effect caused by the change of personnel, he would have no place to cry even if he wanted to.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, it would be safer to let Liu Rengui go.

"I obey your order!" Liu Rengui bowed.

After the meeting, Liu Rengui went back to pack up and set off for Baekje.
