There are tens of thousands of people under Lu Yuanjun's command, and it sounds like there are quite a lot of people under Liu Rengui, but everyone, including Lu Yuanjun, would not think that he can fight Liu Rengui head-on with more than ten thousand people.

Except for the three thousand Japanese troops who came with him, the remaining people were just soldiers, and were just rioters or bandits who were entangled in the chaos. They usually pretended to be powerful and bullied the people. When they met the elite Tang army, they could only escape from the distance.

The Japanese army was able to survive until today, not because of the Japanese army's own strengths, but to a large extent because of Liu Rengui's indulgence on them. If it weren't for Liu Rengui's playful suppression of bandits, even ten Luyuanjuns would not be enough to die.

For Liu Rengui, Lu Yuanjun is just a vicious dog he raised. Liu Rengui wanted him to bite Silla, so he still had some use. He could live, but once Liu Rengui felt that he was useless, he would be not far from his death.

Now Liu Rengui has chased the Japanese army to disrupt the entire Silla. He came to Jincheng, the capital of Silla. Lu Yuanjun and his Japanese army have completed their mission and have completely lost their value.

So, that night, Liu Rengui suddenly ordered the Tang army's light cavalry to go out quickly, and three thousand elite troops took advantage of the night to attack the Japanese army camp.

In the past few days, because Liu Rengui was indulging them and did not kill them all, Lu Yuanjun had already begun to take it lightly, and the marching and camping was not as cautious as before. In addition, Liu Rengui marched at night again, Lu Yuanjun had no preparation at all and fell into Liu Rengui's trap.

The Tang army robbed the camp late at night, and the Japanese army caught off guard. In addition, the Japanese army was not as powerful as the Tang army, so they were killed and defeated. The Japanese army in the camp became a lamb to be slaughtered under the sword of the Tang army. In just one hour, they were all killed and injured.

Outside the capital of Jincheng, on the hillside of Ulsan, five miles away from the Japanese army camp, the Tang army commander Liu Rengui stood on the hillside and looked at the Japanese army camp that caught fire at the foot of the mountain, with a deep expression on his face.

"The Grand Governor suddenly ordered the attack on Lu Yuanjun. It shouldn't be because of Silla Jin Chunqiu's request?" Sima Qinling, who came to Silla with Liu Rengui, stood behind Liu Rengui and asked Liu Rengui.

Liu Rengui smiled and did not directly answer Qin Ling's words, but asked back: "What do you think?"

Qin Ling originally asked Liu Rengui with the answer, so he replied without thinking: "A mere Jin Chunqiu should not have such a face in front of the Grand Governor."

The border generals at the level of the governor of the Tang Dynasty never bought the account of the king of the small country, let alone Liu Rengui was the emperor's confidant, and Jin Chunqiu was just a powerful minister in Silla, so Liu Rengui did not take Jin Chunqiu seriously. How could Liu Rengui suppress the bandits because of Jin Chunqiu's words?

Liu Rengui smiled and said, "Yes, you said this correctly. I suddenly ordered the suppression of the Japanese army not because of Jin Chunqiu."

Qin Ling asked, "It's not difficult to guess this matter, but there is one thing that the boy can't figure out. I hope the Grand Commander will give you advice."

Liu Rengui replied: "You are your Majesty's student. You should teach you, so it is impossible to teach me, but you can listen to it. If you understand it, I will not hide my own private parts."

Qinling asked, "Why did the Grand Governor tell the people of Yu Silla about the renovation of the Jincheng after the war? Wouldn't this give them the opportunity to prepare and refuse? Why didn't the Grand Governor respond to this matter first? Today, he defeated the Japanese army first. After defeating the Japanese army, he drove to Jincheng overnight and caught them off guard. Wouldn't he be more sure."

In fact, what Qin Ling said is a little reasonable. Now that the garrison of Jincheng is empty, if Liu Rengui really leads the army into Jincheng, he will definitely control the city defense. At that time, no one in the country of Silla can balance Liu Rengui, and Jincheng will become the Jincheng of the Tang people, and Silla's monarch and ministers will be at the mercy of Liu Rengui.

Before defeating the enemy today, Liu Rengui told Jin Ren about his idea of ​​leading the army to Jincheng to repair it in the future. This was tantamount to telling the Silla people that the Tang army intends to take advantage of this battle to get involved in Silla.

Although Silla was a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, it was not under the jurisdiction of the Tang army. Naturally, they were unwilling to hand over the capital to Liu Rengui. They would most likely refuse and mobilize troops in advance. It would be difficult for the Tang army to attack the city at that time. It was indeed not as Qin Ling said. After defeating Luyuanjun, he went to Jincheng overnight and forced the Silla people to open the city gate with their troops, caught them off guard, and saved their efforts.

Liu Rengui shook his head and said, "What you said is, but not all. What you said is the way to fight, but not the way to the country."

What Liu Rengui said was exactly what Qin Ling wanted to hear, because with Liu Rengui's ability, even Qin Ling could see the problem. How could Liu Rengui not know that Liu Rengui must have a deep meaning. Only when Liu Rengui denies Qin Ling's words did not think about hiding Qin Ling.

Qinling hurriedly said, "I would like to hear the details of it."

Liu Rengui asked Qinling, "In your opinion, will the monarch and ministers in Silla allow me to lead the army to Jincheng for repair?"

Qinling said: "The Silla people will never open the city gate. The Silla people in the city are not strong enough. With the strong city wall, the Silla people may be able to stop the Grand Governor, but if the Grand Governor enters the city, the Silla people are definitely not the opponent of the Grand Governor, and the Silla country will undoubtedly perish."

With Baekje and Goguryeo before, the Tang army's ambition to annex the Sanhan on the Peninsula was fully exposed. It has become a fact that Silla will bring wolves into the house. He will never open the city gate and give Jincheng to the Tang army again.

Liu Renguidao: "Yes, they really won't open the city gate, but that's exactly what I want."

Liu Rengui's words made Qin Ling more and more confused. Qin Ling continued to ask, "Why is this?"

Liu Rengui: "After all, Silla is different from Goguryeo and Baekje. Silla is my vassal of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is not settled, it is easy to attack Wuming. If you want to attack them, you still have some reason to attack them."

As soon as Liu Rengui's words came out, Qin Ling immediately understood what Liu Rengui meant. As for now, Silla is not wrong. The Tang army rashly conquered the city and finally captured Silla, which would also make the states in the world afraid and worry about becoming the next Silla and being alienated from the Tang Dynasty.

But it would be different if Silla voluntarily refused the Tang army to enter the city to repair it. The Tang army killed the enemy for Silla, and if they were rejected by Silla people after defeating the enemy, it would be the reason for the Tang army to attack, which is justified.

Qinling paused and asked Liu Rengui: "If you attack Jincheng this time, will the Grand Commander have a designated vanguard candidate?"

Liu Rengui replied: "It's not yet decided. It's not too late to make a decision after the news from Silla comes."

When Qin Ling heard this, he suddenly leaned over and said, "If the Grand Governor does not abandon it, I will be willing to be the Grand Governor's vanguard and capture the new city for the Grand Governor."

Liu Rengui did not expect Qin Ling to suddenly ask for his order because Qin Ling was a Tubo native. For Qin Ling, this was not just a simple siege battle, but also a letter of surrender given to the Tang Dynasty by Qin Ling. Once this matter was done, he would be a Tang minister and would never go back.

Liu Rengui asked, "Have you thought about it?"
