Chapter 2862 Please His Majesty the Emperor immediately decrees for help to Baekje
In Sixiang City and the Baekje Palace, Buyeo Yiji listened to the report of the courtiers in front of him with a pulled face.
When I heard that the Baekje Navy was defeated, nearly half of its warships were lost, and countless soldiers were killed or wounded.
All the civil and military officials in Baekje were in an uproar. The important thing is that everyone felt it was a bit incredible.
"Didn't the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty already tell the world that the Tang State was going to raise troops to attack Goguryeo? Why did it suddenly conflict with me, Baekje?"
"Have you forgotten that the Emperor of Tang Dynasty issued an edict before, ordering me, Baekje, not to attack Silla?"
"We are now facing Silla. We have an advantage. We can just stop..."
"The navy of the Tang Dynasty is so powerful. If they continue to invade along the Baijiang River, then Baekje will be in danger..."
"The navy's defeat was clearly due to Na En and Guo Guang's bravery and incompetence. Otherwise, how could hundreds of warships not be the enemy of the Tang Kingdom?"
Buyeo Yiji listened to the noise of the civil and military officials below, and felt very depressed. As the king of Baekje, he was also a handsome man who was very good at military strategy.
Fuyu Yiji was keenly aware that the Tang Navy's appearance behind him at this time must have come to rescue Silla.
But now, Baekje is raising troops to attack Silla. After he personally led the army to capture Daye City, he continued to advance eastward.
Encountered a sneak attack by Silla's elite led by Kim Yu-shin, the most powerful general of Silla, resulting in a major defeat and had to withdraw and rest for the time being.
Just two days ago, news was received that the Queen of Silla appointed the Grand Superior Kim Bi-dam as commander-in-chief and Jin Wenying as deputy commander-in-chief. She once again raised tens of thousands of troops with the intention of seizing the lost territory.
Fuyu Yici had already organized his troops and was preparing to rush to Daye City to ask for help. As a result, at this time, a huge rout occurred at Baijiangkou.
"The current situation is very unfavorable for Baekje. Silla won a great victory before, but now it is making a comeback."
"The Tang navy cooperated with Silla, which caused heavy losses to our Baekje navy. If the Tang navy took advantage of the fierce battle between the king and Silla to land in the hinterland of Baekje via the Baijiang River, then our Baekje would be in danger...
…”
"Our Baekje Navy has suffered heavy losses and is unable to fight again, but it should be okay to defend the mouth of the Baekjiang River."
#####
"But have you ever thought about it, what if the Tang navy does not land at the mouth of Baijiang River, but uses a part of the navy to block our Baekje navy in the mouth of Baijiang River and choose another place to land?"
"If you choose another place, do you think that I, the Baekje warrior, are dead? Although the navy of the Tang Dynasty is strong, I, the Baekje warrior, are not friendly people."
"Haha, then why, except for the fact that the king of the country can win in person, you and other generals have been defeated in consecutive battles. No matter whether it is Goguryeo or Silla, you are no match."
"At this moment, you are actually claiming that the Tang Dynasty is vulnerable in front of the king. Are you deceiving the king?"
"What do you mean, you think we are incompetent?"
"Ha, I didn't say that, you said it yourself..."
"You bastard, you have the ability to fight to the death with someone."
"You two, don't be too excited, be calm, be calm..."
Listening to the argument below getting louder and louder, Fuyu Yici raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
"That's enough. I called you here to let you think of ways and make decisions, not to complain to each other."…
Hearing Fuyu Yici's low roar, all the ministers shut their mouths and stared honestly. After all, the Tang Dynasty had started to intervene, this was a big deal.
With Baekje's strength, it is possible to deal with Silla, but the problem is that the Tang Kingdom is a kingdom of heaven. Even just the navy of the Tang Kingdom is enough to scare the whole country of Baekje.
"Your Majesty, Goguryeo is currently at war with the Tang Dynasty, so it is hard to spare any effort to help Baekje. Silla, on the other hand, is a hawk of the Tang Dynasty and wants to kill Baekje.
Nowadays, the navy has suffered a new defeat, and it is difficult to compete with the Tang Dynasty navy. The only option is to retreat to the mouth of the Baijiang River to defend against the enemy. After all, Baekje can only ask for help from the Japanese country as soon as possible."
"The isolated island of Japan is hanging offshore, and there are always many boats. It has always had a close relationship with Baekje."
"What's more, the Japanese state also severely offended the Tang state by changing its name. I believe that as long as the king sends a message to the Japanese king, the Japanese state will definitely send troops."
"Your Majesty, Zuoping Chengzhong's words are very true. I also feel that only the Japanese country can help us defeat Baekje's enemy."
All the important ministers of Baekje expressed their agreement one after another. After thinking about it, Buyeo Yici thought that there was really no other way to think of.
The important thing is that the relationship between Baekje and the Japanese state is indeed very close. It can be said that when Baekje was almost unable to survive several times before, it was the Japanese state that came to help.
"In this case, Engu... you are the most eloquent. This time, when you are sent as envoy to the Japanese country, you must convince the Japanese country to send troops."
Eungu bowed respectfully to Fuyu Yici and replied loudly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely convince the eldest brother, the prince. As long as the eldest brother, the crown prince, is interested, it will not be difficult to borrow troops."
Eungu, the important minister of Baekje, left the palace immediately, led the escort, and galloped southward. He wanted to rush to the south, and then board a ship from the south to go to Japan to ask for help.
The commander of the Baekje Navy, Guoguang Junyong, was severely reprimanded by Buyeo Yici and told him to perform meritorious service and defend the mouth of Baekjiang River.
As for the exaggerations made by Junyong Guoguang in the emergency report, such nonsense as how the warships of the Tang Dynasty could breathe fire, throw iron ingots nearly two miles away, explode and burn the ships, etc.
All the kings and ministers of Baekje thought that this bastard who was greedy for life and fearful of death was talking such nonsense in order to avoid the responsibility of his poor command.

"Now, whether it is the Mononobe clan, the Otomo clan, the Kibi clan, or the Kaya clan, they have all lost consecutive battles in front of the imperial army, and their decline has been revealed."
"I believe it won't be long before these rebellions will be suppressed by the imperial court."
"But now, Baekje is being invaded by the Tang Dynasty's navy, and after Silla has received help from the Tang Kingdom, it has now formed a two-sided encirclement with the Tang Kingdom."
"If we don't ask for it, then our country's many years of arrangements on the peninsula will be destroyed."
At this moment, in the palace, the Crown Prince, who was older than the Emperor, was making a speech, and all the important Japanese officials were silent.
Emperor Xiaotoku sat on the throne and listened attentively, but he was quite disapproving in his heart. After all, now, it has reached a critical moment to attack those wealthy families who are rich and self-respecting and do not respect kings.
At this time, the prince, Zhongda brother, believed that Baekje had reached a critical moment of survival and the court needed to send troops immediately.
"I ask His Majesty the Emperor to immediately issue an order to gather all our naval forces and rush to the sea outside Baekje immediately to cooperate with the Baekje Navy inside and outside to relieve Baekje's difficulties."
"As long as we can defeat the Tang Dynasty navy, we can also imitate the Tang Dynasty's tactics and use the navy to copy the east of Silla, making Silla lose sight of one thing."
"At that time, not only will Baekje's difficulties be solved, but we may also be able to seize all the land of Silla..."
