Chapter 718: The Lion Opens His Mouth
"General, our soldiers are out of the city!"
On the east bank, Xiang Yan and a group of soldiers suddenly found that the defenders of Lankouju had left the city.
I can't help but be happy.
The friendly forces on the other side did not forget them.
Soon, however, they witnessed the tragic battle on the other side.
Everyone gasped.
All dead.
Fight until the last moment.
The 7,000-strong army was defeated by the cavalry of the Great Zhou.
There is hardly any suspense in death.
"Blow the trumpet and see off the brave soldiers on the other side!" Xiang Yan took off his helmet and drew his sword.
The generals under him showed regret and respect.
Take off your helmet.
The trumpets in the army blew and the mournful screams were long and deep.
Two moments later, Xiang Yan really ordered: "Withdraw into Dabie Mountain, go to Jiangxia, kill the war horses, and leave no horses, including mine!" ”
When they entered the mountains, the war horses were a burden.
He, the dignified general of Zhenxi, also had to walk.
What aristocracy, what family status, it's not easy to use.
West Bank!
Gather out the soldiers who died in battle,
The leader of the team wanted to burn the corpses of Chu Yueguo's soldiers.
Lu Xun said: "General, I think it's better to bury them collectively, in the erection of a monument, although this army is not a strong army of Chu Yue Kingdom, but the courage they showed is still worthy of respect." ”
"Erect a monument to them?" The Lord will be somewhat reluctant.
Lu Xun explained: "I will conquer more Chuyue Kingdom after Sunday, and the people of Chuyue will also be the subjects of my Great Zhou in the future."
Treating the heroes and the dead well will bring us benefits in the future, and those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times will win the world, this ...... It is also the will of the people. ”
The Lord General thought for a moment and said, "Good! As you said, gather them all together, bury them under the mountain in the southeast of the city, set up a monument for them, and tell Chu Yueguo that my Great Zhou is the real teacher of benevolence and righteousness.
It was Emperor Chuyue who had no way and kept having wars! ”
After capturing Lankouju, the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry did not continue south.
Instead, pontoons began to be erected at the pier.
Then the army used the pontoon bridge to cross the east bank and joined Di Qing to pursue Xiang Yan's army.
Three days later, the Great Zhou soldiers who chased into Dabie Mountain withdrew.
In the past three days, Xiang Yan's army of more than 100,000 people has been left behind.
Or maybe you're too hungry to walk.
Either starve to death.
Either they deserted and ran away.
Because the deeper you go to the depths of Dabie Mountain, the more difficult the road becomes, and the more barren and populated it is.
It's all reckless jungle.
Whether or not they can get out of no man's land alive is a question.
So the more you go to the end, the more people desert.
The Great Zhou soldiers followed behind, arresting people and picking up corpses.
"Marshal, after the statistics of our army, in this pursuit, 50,000 enemies were captured and 30,000 enemy heads were captured!"
"Eighty thousand people, that Yan army, most of them are gone, don't worry, return, don't chase them, let them fend for themselves!"
Xiangyang City!
Zhaohong came to see Ye Qing again.
This time the attitude is more humble.
Because Gangneung gave a quasi-letter.
Real negotiations, no more virtual play.
Below Xiangyang, Lankouju was also lost.
Jiangling was always exposed to the military peaks of the Great Zhou.
If you don't talk about it, you have to talk about it.
Ye Qing is not in a hurry.
only said: "Come on, serve tea to Zhao Aiqing, good tea!" ”
Good tea!
It's nothing short of sarcastic about yourself.
This is only true for our valued guests.
I came over with Chu Yueguo's sincerity and cut the meat to Da Zhou.
It's not just a guest.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Akihiro sat down.
"Your Majesty, our two countries can stop fighting, I, Chu Yueguo, am willing to give up Nanyang and recognize Nanyang as the land of the Great Zhou."
Ye Qing looked at Guo Jia
Guo Jia stood up and said: "Noble envoy, now that the entire Nanyang is actually occupied by our army, even a part of Nanjun is in the hands of my Great Zhou, you are too insincere!" ”
Zhaohong arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Nanjun is related to the safety of my Chu Yue Kingdom, and the Great Zhou Dynasty occupies Xiangyang, and my Chu Yue Kingdom is also willing to give Xiangyang to the Great Zhou."
I hope that Your Majesty can be more considerate of my Chu Yue Kingdom, and other conditions can be improved by my Chu Yue Kingdom. ”
Ye Qing was still unmoved.
Guo Jia stood up and said: "If Chu Yueguo thinks that we are excessive, then we can be even more excessive, as if Lankou gathered in Jiangling, only separated from Dangyang City."
Otherwise, we will fight Gangneung, or we will fight Gangneung and talk again! ”
Guo Jia smiled evilly.
Akihiro was so angry that he wanted to go crazy.
Lankou is only 200 miles away from Gangneung.
You can ride a gallop and kill it in one day.
Guo Jia didn't say it like a joke.
Zhaohong is really afraid that Da Zhou will continue to be reckless.
Then Chu Yueguo will play with eggs.
If you lose the national capital, how can you rule the huge Chu Yue Kingdom.
What do the princes of the world still think of Chu Yueguo.
"Mr. Guo said as much as he could, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were divided into many places, and the soldiers and horses going south were also stretched.
I'm afraid that the combat effectiveness will shrink in the south, so it's better to stop it as soon as possible and get it real, so that everyone can still talk about it. Zhao Hong took a deep breath, he knew that Da Zhou would really meet and talk this time.
Because it's a fact.
There are a lot of soldiers and horses in the Great Zhou, but they are arranged in all aspects.
In the southeast, the number of people is limited.
In the big week, the gains outweigh the losses.
Ye Qingdao: "Fengxiao, since Chu Yueguo wants to talk, then give them some sincerity, talk about hemp slowly, don't worry!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Guo Jia got up and answered, and then clapped his hands.
A soldier was carrying the sand table.
Guo Jia picked up the long pole and pointed to Yicheng and said: "Let's take a step back, the north of Yishui will belong to my Great Zhou, and the Ruoguo and Lankouju in the south can be returned to you."
But what sincerity do you have to show up? ”
Seeing that Lankouju could be returned, Zhaohong knew that this Yijing was very valuable.
It is a bit unrealistic to want the Great Zhou to return the cities of Yicheng, Jiguo, and Zhonglu in Nanjun.
Because Xiangyang City also needed these outposts to block the Northern Expedition of Chu Yue.
It is impossible to regard Xiangyang as the front line and let Chu Yue Kingdom attack.
Zhaohong thought for a while and replied: "I, Chu Yueguo, can pay 200,000 taels of silver and 500,000 stones of grain!" Opened trade with Da Zhou. ”
Ye Qing didn't say anything and picked up the teacup.
Anything to the effect is dissatisfied.
The huge Chu Yue Kingdom gave 200,000 silver and 500,000 stone grain, and really sent it to Huazi.
You dare to quote a low price, Guo Jia is not ambiguous, and sneered: "Chu Yueguo's lower limit of sincerity really opened my eyes, since you are unwilling to give the truth, then let me say it!" ”
"Chu Yue Kingdom needs to pay me 20 million taels of silver and 5 million stones of grain, in addition to opening commerce, I also need to apologize to Da Zhou, send a prince-level mission to the mausoleum of my former emperor to repent, and at the same time return Ye Mao, a traitor, to our country for processing.
And sever the alliance with South Korea, not to support South Korea openly and secretly, and to return the capital of the country that occupied the East China Sea to the East China Sea country! ”
Twenty million taels of silver!
Five million stone grain!
I also want our country to send a prince to apologize.
Go to repentance.
Zhaohong's face changed dramatically when he heard this.
