Chapter 270: Liaodong County
Originally, seeing the satisfied look on Zhao Yi's face, Qiu Liju thought that his tribe was saved. I thought that Zhao Yi really wanted to make peace with his tribe in order to preserve his strength, and the so-called wealth was just to find a step down.
Who would have thought that when Qiu Liju put down the big thing in his heart, Zhao Yi put forward another condition, and when he heard Zhao Yi put forward the condition again, the relaxed expression on Qiu Liju's face immediately tensed, and he asked quite unhappily: "What other conditions do you have, when we talked yesterday, you didn't say that there are still conditions, Zhao Yi, I advise you not to gain an inch!" ”
As soon as Qiu Liju said this, several generals around him, along with many soldiers behind him, drew their scimitars one after another and made an offensive posture.
Before Zhao Yi could speak, Tai Shi Ci and other generals were also ready to attack, especially the more than 1,000 crossbowmen led by Tai Shi Ci, and even aimed the crossbow arrows in their hands at Qiu Liju, their eyes showed a fierce light, and the qi machine had already locked Qiu Liju, at this distance, at this angle, as long as Zhao Yi gave an order, these more than 1,000 crossbow arrows would insert Qiu Liju into a hedgehog.
The spears in the hands of the officials and soldiers of Youzhou were all in unison, waiting for Zhao Yi's order, Zhang Fei and Batu were even more hot-tempered, and before Zhao Yi gave the order, they had already crossed the horse to fight, and came to Qiu Liju with weapons in hand to call for battle.
Qiu Liju is very jealous of Zhang Fei, a black-faced man, last time Ji Wei's two generals were killed by Zhang Fei in less than three rounds, this combat power made Qiu Liju tribal generals have an unspeakable fear of Zhang Fei, and when they saw Zhang Fei out of the scolding battle, they were too timid to step forward.
With the power of one person, tens of thousands of soldiers can be disgraced, and I am afraid that there are only strong generals like Zhang Fei.
If an ordinary general comes out to scold the war, whether it is to kill the spirit of the official army, or for the face of his own tribe, Qiu Liju will call people to fight, but after seeing that it was Zhang Fei who was fighting, Qiu Liju did not dare to make such a move, because Qiu Liju was afraid that although his tribe has not reached the end of its life now, but it has also reached a time of great crisis, if a few generals die, it will not only hit the morale of his tribe, but more importantly, it will lose the strength of his tribe.
Now that the force is not the opponent of the official army, Qiu Liju can only argue with Zhao Yi: "Lord Zhao has any conditions to say, come and listen, and see if this leader can satisfy you." ”
Zhao Yi heard Qiu Liju's arrogant words, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes, and he gently flicked his shirt: "Leader Qiu Liju, this official sees that you don't understand the current situation, and this official is not discussing with you now, but asking you to agree." "One discusses and one agrees, but there is a difference between the two, and the consultation means that the two have the same status and have the same say in this matter. But the promise is different, and the promise has a bit of coercion and coercion.
Qiu Liju naturally heard Zhao Yi's words, but Qiu Liju also knew the current situation between the two sides, and the current situation was very unfavorable to Qiu Liju, but now in the face of nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou and tens of thousands of people in his own tribe, how could Qiu Liju pull his face down and say a few good words to Zhao Yi.
Qiu Liju's tone was still strong: "Zhao Yi, don't deceive people too much. If you ...... me" Before Qiu Liju could finish speaking, he saw a black light flash in front of him, and then a miserable scream came from behind him.
When Qiu Liju turned his head to look, he found that a general on his left hand side had an iron halberd inserted in his abdomen at some point, and the general's body shook twice, and he spat out two mouthfuls of blood and fell to the ground.
"Who in the official army has such a stunt?!" Qiu Liju exclaimed in his heart, and just when Qiu Liju sighed, a cold voice suddenly came from the official camp, "Qiu Liju Xiaoer, if you are powerless against my lord again, you will be the next to die!" ”
Glancing at Dian Wei, who was holding an iron halberd like a god descending from heaven, Qiu Liju's cold sweat soaked his back. sighed secretly in his heart, Zhao Yi really has some ability, and he can attract talents from all over the world.
Dian Wei's stunt really shocked many people. Qiu Liju can give up his life for the sake of the tribe, but this meaningless death is not what Qiu Liju wants, and his life is at stake, Qiu Liju had to relax his tone: "What are the conditions, please say." ”
Looking at Qiu Liju's reluctant expression, the corners of Zhao Yi's mouth were full of playful smiles, and he slowly said his conditions: "I want to ask the leader of Qiu Liju to promise me that in my lifetime, I will not be able to invade my Youzhou territory again, and as for the supply of food, I will order the subject country of Liaodong to continue to exchange markets with the leader." ”
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Qiu Liju's eyes flashed, and he secretly said that Zhao Yi was really a good idea, and he wanted to exchange today's events for decades of peace in Youzhou.
Seeing that Qiu Liju's face changed several times, the generals around him persuaded Qiu Liju one after another: "Chief, now that the situation of the official army is pressing, and there have been many battles with the official army, our soldiers have been reduced too much, so we can take this opportunity to recuperate." ”
The words of these generals have already expressed from the side, hoping that Qiu Liju can agree to Zhao Yi's conditions.
After listening to the words of these generals, Qiu Liju's rapidly changing face finally stabilized, the words of these generals were exactly what Qiu Liju meant, and more importantly, Qiu Liju found that as long as Zhao Yi was in Youzhou, if the external Yi clan wanted to invade Youzhou, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky.
"Okay, I promise you." Qiu Liju happily agreed.
Zhao Yi saw Qiu Liju agree, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I hope that the leader of Qiu Liju can keep his promise." Saying that, Zhao Yi waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to move their belongings.
Then the army of officers and soldiers rose up from the camp, and under the gaze of Qiu Liju and others, they slowly walked towards the southwest. Until the nearly 100,000 troops of the official army slowly turned into black spots, the people of the Wuhuan tribe still couldn't believe that what they saw was true.
"Is it true that the officers and troops retreated so easily?" The Wuhuan troops saw the officials and soldiers moving away, and their eyes showed disbelief.
Qiu Liju was also surprised in his heart, the officials and troops who had troubled his tribe and had a chance to win would withdraw so easily. From despair to hope, Qiu Liju, who has always been moody, showed a look of joy that was difficult to hide. hurriedly ordered his soldiers to investigate the movements of the officers and soldiers, fearing that the officers and soldiers would go and return.
During the march, Gao Shun asked Zhao Yi: "My lord, do you think Qiu Liju will keep his promise?" ”
"Naturally not, when Qiu Liju's strength recovers, I'm afraid that he will invade Youzhou again." A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth.
Gao Shun had a surprised expression on his face when he heard this, and even Liu Bei and the others had incredible expressions on their faces. "Since the adults know that Qiu Liju will not keep his promise, then why do you want Qiu Liju to promise?" Gao Shun asked Zhao Yi, "If our troops launched an attack just now, there is an eighty percent chance that the Qiuliju tribe will be uprooted." ”
Gao Shun's tone already had a questioning meaning, and he wanted to ask Zhao Yi why he missed the opportunity.
Zhao Yi didn't care about the questioning anger in Gao Shun's mouth, but explained: "Qiu Liju needs a chance to recuperate, and we also need time to train soldiers. "For Zhao Yi, the two sides are just taking what they need." This promise is just to stabilize Qiu Liju for a few years, and even if Qiu Liju does not attack Youzhou in a few years. Our army will also set foot on the Wuhuan tribe. Speaking of this, Zhao Yi's eyes flashed with coldness.
Immediately afterwards, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth: "General Gao Shun, we still have one more dark chess move to make." ”
"Badun?" Gao Shun's eyes lit up and blurted out.
Zhao Yi nodded, and said in his heart that Gao Shun's reaction speed was good, "The Wuhuan tribe has returned to calm again, everyone in the Wuhuan tribe is full of joy, and the most unhappy person is afraid that there is only one person." "At this time, as long as the official army fanned the wind from the side and lit the fire, it would definitely make the Wuhuan tribe full of internal strife, and then gradually leave the Wuhuan tribe to fight in the dark, and the Wuhuan tribe will not have a peaceful day, Zhao Yi wants to see how Qiu Liju develops.
According to Zhao Yi's observation, the Qiuli tribe will not be able to recover without three years. And Zhao Yi only needed two years to be sure to train an elite soldier.
Zhao Yi stared at the Wuhuan tribe behind him, his eyes flashed, and he secretly said in his heart, one day the people and soldiers of your tribe will be mine.
When the army marched fifty miles, Zhao Yi waved his hand and ordered the army to stop, groped the stubble on his chin, and called Tai Shi Ci: "General Tai Shi Ci, you lead 30,000 cavalry and go to Liaodong County to support Gongsun Du and Wen Chou." ”
Tai Shi Ci bowed down to receive the order, led 30,000 cavalry and did not stop, and rushed towards Liaodong County. Zhao Yi led the official army to the Youzhou Prefecture capital.
Gongsun Du and Wen Chou, who had left Zhao Yi a few days earlier, have now arrived in Liaodong County. Liaodong County Shou was very polite to Gongsun Du and Wen Chou,
"Two envoys, please rest for a while, and wait for the lower officials to explain the situation of Goguryeo to the two of you in detail." Liaodong County Shou politely greeted Gongsun Du and the two.
Looking at the polite appearance of the county guard in Liaodong, the vanity in Gongsun Du's heart rose sharply, the county guard who needed to look up to him as a small leader, now he actually spoke to himself in a humble tone, thinking about Gongsun Du, he felt that the changes in life were really impermanent, if he didn't go to Youzhou that day, then there would be no such posture of raising eyebrows today, thinking of this, Gongsun Du was even more grateful to Zhao Yi in his heart. Listening attentively to the Liaodong County Guard's talk about the situation of Goguryeo's department.
This Liaodong county guard first examined himself, saying that everything was because of his own negligence and did not notice the actions of the Goguryeo tribe, which caused 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers to enter Youzhou, causing incalculable losses to the people of Youzhou.
He also said that everything is his responsibility, please ask Lord Youzhou Mu Zhao to blame him alone, not to blame the many generals of Liaodong County.
"Lord County Shou, please get down to business, I don't think Lord Zhao will care about these things." Gongsun Du waved his hand, and secretly said that if he continued to say this, he would have to ask for an hour, and there would be no way to understand the situation in Goguryeo.
Only then did the Liaodong county guard stop talking, coughed dryly twice, and began to talk about the situation in Goguryeo. "Now there are 30,000 soldiers from the Goguryeo tribe entering Youzhou, and the remaining soldiers are about 20,000. Since the envoy came to transfer troops with a handwritten letter from Lord Zhao Yi, of course the official cooperated. As he spoke, he ordered someone to call the lieutenant and handed over the Liaodong County Troop Talisman to Zhao Yi's hands.
"Envoy, from today onwards, all the 23,000 soldiers in Liaodong County will be dispatched by your lordship, please give orders."
