This battle was a huge defeat, and countless people were caught off guard. By the time everyone woke up, most of them had become prisoners in the hands of the Sui army.
After the war, the Sui army counted the results of the battle. In this battle, more than 20,000 people were beheaded and more than 60,000 people were captured. The entire Silla people and the German army were wiped out. Similarly, the Baekje and Japanese troops also suffered heavy casualties. The two troops lost more than 20,000 people, and the remaining officers and soldiers were less than half of the pre-war numbers.
Yunzhong had nothing to do with this result. Although there were heavy casualties, at least the army was in full strength. After so many bloody battles, with some training in the coming year, they will become a strong force.
As for Yunzhong, Huang Mingzhen and others don't care because the major events in Baekje have been decided.
Zhang Changxun has already taken over a large area of ??land south of the Han River, and can only wait for the end of the war to allow Yunzhong to return to Baekje.
Yunzhong was defeated in Songyue City, and the result almost destroyed Baekje. Even after returning home, his fate was doomed. If he was smart at this time, he should take advantage of the friendship from this battle to actively move closer to the Great Sui Dynasty. The Great Sui Dynasty did not care about cultivating several forces in Baekje.
The Japanese, although the two sides are at war, have few contacts and are beyond their reach. Moreover, Huang Mingyuan had no idea of ??invading the Japanese country, so the ministers and his party could only take them as hostages and wait for people to be sent to the Japanese country to negotiate before dealing with them.
In this battle, Huang Mingzhen is really interested in two people, one is Gao Baobao and the other is Jin Yuxin.
Gao Baobao is a member of the Goguryeo clan, and he is also the only leader of Goguryeo who can be recognized by everyone after the death of Gao Rennan. And the most important thing is that Gao Baobao is a man who is flexible and flexible. In order to restore the country, he is even willing to be the grandson of the Silla people.
Of course, since he can be a grandson to the Silla people, he can also be a grandson to others.
As for Jin Yuxin, he is a young guy, but his status is very special.
Huang Mingzhen was actually interested in Jin Shuxuan, the father of Jin Yuxin, but Jin Shuxuan ran away, and Jin Yuxin could barely use it. Although Kim Soo-hyun was a Silla general, he was actually a descendant of Jingguan Gaya (Gyora Kingdom), which was conquered by Silla in 532 AD. His great-grandfather was Jin Qiuheng, the last king of Jingguan Gaya.
After Jingguan Gaya surrendered to Silla, Silla incorporated its royal family into the Jingu royal family, which was known in history as the "New Kim clan" (now the Jinhae Kim clan). He began to serve Silla since Kim Yu-shin's grandfather, Kim Woo-shin.
Although the Kim family of Jinhae was loyal to Silla, Kim Shuxuan and his son, as descendants of Jingguan Gaya, had their uses.
Later generations generally believed that the Korean Peninsula was a three-nation struggle for hegemony, but it was actually four countries. In addition to Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, there was also the Gaya Kingdom. This country is an alliance country established by the Benhan people. It consists of more than ten small countries. Its leader is Jingguan Gaya. Legend has it that the wife of the first king was Chinese and lived to be nearly 200 years old. Although the country is small, it has been inherited for more than 500 years, and it was not destroyed by Silla until the sixth century.
In Huang Mingyuan¡¯s view, it is unstable for Baekje and Silla to confront each other, especially when the Baekje people are allied with the Japanese. A three-legged confrontation, or even four countries competing for hegemony, is the most suitable situation for the Lelang Peninsula.
It is inevitable that the Sui Dynasty will build up some forces to compete with Baekje and Silla.
Huang Mingzhen was in the tent and asked people to bring Gao Baobao and Jin Yuxin together. The two of them, one after Goguryeo and the other after Gaya, are both natural agents.
Gao Baobao and Jin Yuxin were escorted to the tent, and Huang Mingzhen asked someone to untie the ropes for them.
"How are you two?"
Jin Yuxin gave a cold "hum" and said disdainfully: "If you want to kill, just kill, why bother to say more!"
Huang Mingzhen couldn't help but laugh and said: "If Jin Qiuheng had had such backbone when the Silla people attacked them, I would not have died in Gaya."
"How dare you!"
After all, it was the hatred of the subjugation of the country. Although it was a long time ago, Jin Yuxin still did not want others to mention this matter, especially in such a joking tone.
Huang Mingzhen ignored Jin Yuxin, but looked at Gao Baobao and said, "You think so too?"
Gao Baobao lowered his head and said: "Gao Baobao fell into the hands of the general. I know that I will inevitably die. I just ask the general to give me some dignity because I have also been the leader of a country."
Huang Mingzhen laughed "haha" and said: "You have been the leader of a country, but you only want to have dignity?"
As he spoke, Huang Mingzhen couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I thought you would scold me."
Gao Baobao continued to lower his head and said nothing.
At this time, Huang Mingzhen said again: "I'm afraid I can't give you a decent death, but I can give you the position of king. Do you want it?"
Gao Baobao was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his head.
Huang Mingzhen picked up the map and said to Gao Baobao: "I gave you the map of North Korea City.Not for you, but somewhere else. From the east of the Han River, the Namsa River, and the Hongcheon River, to the north to Sijseong (today's Samcheok City, South Korea), and to the south to the former boundary between Goguryeo and Silla, I will allocate it to you. You can see if you can rebuild Goguryeo. "
Gao Baobao¡¯s face was full of disbelief.
"Why?"
Gao Baobao couldn't understand it anyway.
Huang Mingzhen did not hide anything from him, and said: "We don't want the remaining forces of Goguryeo to join Silla, so we might as well let you establish an independent country. As for why I chose you, because you are forbearing enough and will make the smartest choice."
"Aren't you afraid that I will betray you in the future and fight back to Pyongyang?"
Huang Mingzhen said with a "haha" smile: "We are not afraid of Gao Yuan, but we are still afraid of you."
Gao Baobao thought about it again and again, and suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "If the Sui Dynasty supports the restoration of Goguryeo, I, Goguryeo, will always be a minister of the Sui Dynasty, worship the Sui Dynasty from generation to generation, and will never betray."
Huang Mingzhen was noncommittal about this.
If you believe this, you are really a fool.
At this time, Jin Yuxin on the side looked a little stupid. As the leader of the Goguryeo Restoration Organization, why did the Sui people not execute Gao Baobao but instead made him king?
This is not a puppet like the King of Deok established by Silla, but a real king.
"Have you figured it out?"
Seeing Huang Mingzhen smiling at him, Jin Yuxin felt flustered. He wasn't even afraid of death, but now he was panicking.
"me¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤"
"As long as you are willing, you can become the king of Gaya Kingdom. Of course, your father can too. Although Silla Kingdom's true bones are good, how can it compare with the leader of a country."
Huang Mingzhen¡¯s smile, in Jin Yuxin¡¯s eyes, was as ferocious as the face of a demon, making him fearful and palpitating.
"No, the Gaya Kingdom is dead and there will be no more king."
"Maybe it didn't exist before, but Sui Dynasty said it should exist, so it will exist."
Jin Yuxin "muttered" and could not speak.
Huang Mingzhen knows that the seeds of national restoration have been planted and are just waiting to take root and sprout. As long as the slogan of rebuilding the Gaya Kingdom rises, even if Kim Yoo-shin and his son are loyal to Silla, will the Silla people still trust them?
"Goguryeo and Gaya, one in the south and one in the north, are responsible for keeping Silla in check. I hope you two can exchange opinions and give me a satisfactory plan."
After saying that, Huang Mingzhen ignored the stunned faces of the two and asked people to send them away. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
