Chapter 664: Jin Rong'en surrendered and Jin Rongxin lost the battle
No matter it is the Tang Dynasty.
It might as well be Li Chengqian.
There was no reason to admit their mistake to Silla.
There is no need to admit my mistake to Silla.
Now, the reason why Li Chengqian came over to negotiate with the other party calmly.
Simply because this matter was indeed his fault, and he had to do some things.
At the very least, I have to make things acceptable, so that I can give an explanation to the people of the Tang Dynasty.
As for what Silla thinks, that is not within the scope of Li Chengqian's consideration at all.
The worst case scenario is to break up and start a fight.
Anyway, Li Chengqian is not afraid of this.
But he is not afraid, but Silla has to be afraid.
Jin Rongen saw those artillery pieces.
One shot directly injured four of our own soldiers, two soldiers died on the spot, and another was seriously injured and died.
And this was just a shot fired by the Tang Dynasty.
If the Tang Dynasty dealt with its own side just like it dealt with the Japanese army, dozens of artillery fire would be fired.
Jin Rongen had no doubt that if the two sides started fighting now, the five thousand men under his command would all be killed by these artillery pieces before they could even rush to the other side.
But if this matter is settled like this, where will Silla’s face be?
How can he, Jin Rongen, convince the public?
Therefore, Jin Rongen gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, King Qin, we really can't do this."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"I told you, Datang will bear all the pensions for your fallen soldiers."
"I, the Tang Dynasty, will give you exactly the money for the medical expenses for your injured soldiers, as well as the expenses for future recuperation."
"If this doesn't work, what else do you want me to do?"
"You really want me to kill my own general?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "Do you think, as far as the alliance between Datang and Silla is concerned, Datang is worthy of sacrificing two of my own generals for you?"
He is now going to be tough to the end.
And what he said was right. As far as the alliance between Datang and Silla is concerned, Silla basically brings no benefits to Datang.
On the contrary, Datang also wanted to provide assistance to Silla and protect them.
No matter how you look at it, Datang is the loser.
Therefore, whether there is this alliance or not, there is no loss to Datang.
But, sometimes things just can’t be done this way.
So after making harsh words, Li Chengqian softened his words and said: "Jin Rongen, sometimes it's important to stop in moderation."
"You have lost some prestige. I will find an opportunity in the future to let you get your prestige back."
"And I, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely remember you, Jin Rongen, for sacrificing yourself today to save this alliance."
"If anything happens to you in the future, you can come to me and treat it as a favor that I owe you. Do you think that's okay?"
Li Chengqian's operation is the so-called hard and soft approach.
And what else can Jin Rongen say?
If he continues, I'm afraid Datang and Silla will have to fight a war.
Kim Ron-eun cannot bear this responsibility.
Rather than taking a big gamble, it is better to accept the reality calmly.
Jin Rongen sighed softly and said: "Since His Highness King Qin has said so, I have nothing to say."
"However, I hope His Highness, King Qin, will never be stingy."
Jin Rongen said bitterly: "After all, I have to give an explanation to my brothers below."
"Don't worry about that."
Li Chengqian said straightly: "I will double all the compensation to you."
"Then thank you, His Highness King Qin..."
Jin Rongen bowed deeply towards Li Chengqian.
What is this thing called?
Stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice?
I originally wanted to
Ask the other person.
As a result, he was suppressed by the other party.
This really makes Jin Rongen feel helpless.
"If nothing happens, I'll leave first."
"After all, my brothers on the front line are still waiting for me to take command."
Li Chengqian stood up and said: "The sooner the war ends, the sooner we can return home, and the sooner you can have peace."
"yes."
"This time, thanks to the brothers of Datang."
Jin Rongen said: "If His Highness the King of Qin doesn't dislike it, say thank you to the brothers of Tang Dynasty for me when you return."
"Don't worry, I will definitely bring it to you."
After saying that, Li Chengqian did not hesitate, stepped out of the Chinese military tent, and took the people away.
Looking at Li Chengqian's leaving figure.
Jin Rongen sighed helplessly: "The Tang Dynasty is really lucky to have such a person..."
Li Chengqian is really amazing.
It was so powerful that it made him feel terrible from the bottom of his heart.
…
Under Li Chengqian's plan, the Tang Dynasty slowed down its march and paved the way for Silla Baishin to build a bridge from behind, trying to win over the people as much as possible.
The Silla side, under the leadership of Jin Rongxin, left Jincheng and went straight to the frontline battlefield.
This time, Jin Rongxin was full of confidence and determined to regain all the face he had lost before.
But is face so easy to find?
Thirty thousand Silla troops and thirty to nearly forty thousand Japanese troops met head-on three times.
The Silla Army only achieved one victory, and it was a miserable victory of three thousand for two thousand.
After hearing the news, Jin Rongxin was furious.
He got angry right in the central military tent.
Just listen to Jin Rongxin yelling at the generals in the room: "Are you all a bunch of stupid pigs?"
"Five thousand people, beating three thousand people, how can he still be like this?"
"Even if these five thousand people are five thousand pigs, then How many enemies can you kill?"
"But mother-in-law actually paid the price of 3,000 people in exchange for less than 2,000 enemy casualties."
"Are you kidding me?"
Jin Rongxin looked directly at the people in front of him and said, "Are you fucking kidding me?"
All the generals in the field lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Only Jin Rongxin was pacing back and forth in the tent, cursing at them.
In the face of these scoldings, these generals really couldn't say anything.
After all, what Jin Rongxin said is true.
The battle they fought was so ridiculous, it was just like a joke.
They never expected that the Japanese soldiers who had been as soft as sand in front of the Tang Dynasty would turn into tigers and wolves in front of their own soldiers.
Five thousand soldiers encircled and suppressed three thousand enemies. No matter how you look at it, this is a battle that is sure to win, right?
However, the enemy managed to break through the encirclement. Three thousand Japanese soldiers fought through the encirclement and escaped smoothly.
Although nearly 2,000 enemy troops and horses were wiped out, the Silla side also lost a full 3,000 troops and horses in this battle.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a victory.
One of the generals said directly: "General, you can't blame us."
"After all, the Japanese army is now a mourning army. Every one of their soldiers came with the thought of fighting to the death."
The general also said a little aggrievedly: "This is really not something our army can resist."
"Sorrowing soldiers? Willing to die? Can't stop it?"
Jin Rongxin was immediately offended.
"Now people are calling at your door."
"Forcing your king to exchange the happiness of his children for the support of his neighboring countries."
"But you don't have the heart to die yet, don't you even want to lose face?"
Jin Rongxin's face was filled with a mixture of bitterness and helplessness.
He looked up to the sky and sighed: "If Silla can only rely on you to save it, it will really be over..."
