Xiao Jingke's wine had already woken up, and he also knew that he had accidentally lost the vital Xiangcheng, and when he saw the coach pulling the thorn, he was embarrassed and a little timid, and he smiled at the thorn.

This Xiao Jingke is the personal soldier of the thorn, and in the eyes of the thorn, sending him to Xiangcheng is undoubtedly a kind of appreciation. Who would have thought that the dangerous city that could not be opened by one husband would be lost like this. When he saw Xiao Jingke, who was tied up like a zongzi, he still had a smile on his face, and he was even more angry, and as soon as he reached out and grabbed the teacup, he wanted to throw it on Xiao Jingke's body.

At the moment when the teacup was about to leave his hand, the thorn finally thought of the teacup, and this prop had an unusual meaning in the current scene. had to put the teacup back again, but after thinking about it, he was finally unwilling, so he stood up, walked in front of Xiao Jingke and kicked him fiercely, and couldn't help scolding.

The boy who dragged the thorn knew the main role of Xiangcheng, how could a veteran like Cui Tingxun not know it? He stared at Li Xiang and sneered, "Lord Li is here, presumably to persuade us to surrender?" You die of this heart, we Khitan people would rather die than surrender! ”

The words were sonorous and categorical. The thorn also woke up from the annoyance of not knowing the person. Like a mud tire, the expression that makes people can't see the depth is gone, his body trembles in an instant, his legs and stomach cramp a little, and his heart suddenly changes from Xiao Jingke to let himself down, and jumps to what he should do now? In the sound of the earth-shattering war drums, when he put himself in his shoes and thought about it, he quietly appeared, and there was no way back. He was calm just now because Cui Tingxun told him that as long as Xiang Cheng is there, it is not difficult to break through the siege by using the mobility of the Khitan cavalry... But... Lost to the city... Cui Tingxun's words made him a little frightened, he glanced at Cui Tingxun in a panic, the meaning was obvious, do you really want to burn the jade? Follow the great emperor Yelu Deguang to the south, drink wine and eat meat, he thought; Looting for money, he thought; Seeking pleasure, he also thought about it; As for fighting to the death, he is still only paying lip service ... He wasn't mentally prepared for that at all...

He was afraid that Li Xiang would listen to Cui Tingxun's words and turn around and leave. Hurriedly asked: "Li... My lord, Confucius said: If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. Today, the three of you are here, and you must ... You can be my teacher, you can teach me. ”

I've seen people use famous words indiscriminately, but I've never seen such indiscriminate use of famous words. Li Xiang was happy in his heart, and was about to teach and teach the thorn, but he heard Cui Tingxun say with a straight face: "General Thorn, Your Majesty ordered the two of us to come to Dengzhou, without Your Majesty's order, our Khitan will never surrender." As he spoke, he secretly winked at the thorn. Tubing is a nobleman, even if he surrenders, Yelu Deguang will not treat his family well, but Cui Tingxun is different, Cui Tingxun is a Han, if he surrenders, the old and young in the Youzhou family will be very difficult.

Li Xiang didn't pay attention to Cui Tingxun, but instead hugged his fist at the thorn and said: "General Thorn, I came today to return General Xiao to your country, and I also negotiated peace with the general on the order of my king." The Khitan is also a big country today, and the name of the general who is good at fighting is also spread far away in China, and my king admires the Khitan emperor and the general very much. has always wanted to be friends with the thorn general, so how can he persuade him to surrender? ”

Dragging thorns still spend less time in the Central Plains, Li Xiang obviously sees people talking to people, and has seen ghosts talking about ghosts. But he actually believed it a little, rubbed his hands and asked: "Then dare to be kind, I am also willing to be friends with the King of Chu, but... "Tu Thorn suddenly understands a little, I want to be friends, why do you bring so many little brothers, and you still take the guy to kill from the south of the Yangtze River? It's not persuasion, why do you bother to surround the small city of Nanyang, and it is a formation, and it is a drum beating, and you also capture the only way for my Khitan to return to the north to the city? You are not a weasel who is not kind to the chicken for the New Year, you Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know it, and I naturally know it to the general who dragged the assassination.

Seeing that he was a little deflated, Li Xiang explained: "Shi Jin has no way, and the king of my family went north only to save the people, and he has no intention of fighting with the kingdom. The encounter in Xinye, my king also regretted it. Today, my king sent me to explain one or two things to the general of the thorn, and then to tell the general about the changes that have occurred in these days. ”

No one knows whether the IQ of the thorn is high or not, but the IQ of the thorn is obviously higher than the EQ. These days, the consecutive battles and defeats are a bit of a frightened bird. As soon as Li Xiang's words came out, his face turned a little pale, and he immediately asked anxiously: "But has the emperor returned to the north?" In his opinion, there is nothing worse than that.

Li Xiang took out a letter from his bosom and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor of your country, send someone to send it to the general." At present, the people of the Central Plains and your country are like fire and water, and this messenger finally escaped to my military camp in Dachu. For the sake of the friendship between the two countries for many years, my king specially ordered me to bring the letter to the general. Please read it, General. ”

Dragged Thorn took the letter with a look of surprise and hurriedly skimmed through it, when there was no blood below, pale and terrifying: the emperor ordered himself to act on camera. The worst thing is that the emperor returns north, and what is worse than the emperor's return to the north is that the emperor did not take himself with him...

Seeing that the thorn was a little demented, Cui Tingxun, who had always been quite calm, couldn't sit still, he walked over and asked in a low voice, "General, what is written on this letter?" As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the letter.

Dragging shook his head, handed the letter to Cui Tingxun casually, turned around and took heavy steps, walked to the chair step by step, and sat down dejectedly. It seems that this bad news hit him hard.

Cui Tingxun took the letter, glanced at it roughly, and carefully looked at the letter's signature, which was covered with the small seal of the Khan that Yelu Deguang used in private. He looked at it several times, and finally determined that this letter really did not seem to be forged by Chu Jun. The emperor really returned to the north. He settled down and asked, "The Khitan and the Great Chu have always been better, since Your Majesty has returned to the north, I don't know what your country's plans are?" ”

Pulling thorns like a drowning man, he suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, he raised his head, looked at Li Xiang expectantly, and said, "Didn't His Royal Highness the King of Chu say that the Battle of Xinye was just a misunderstanding?" In this case, can we open a way for our army to return north? When we arrive in Youzhou, we will definitely report the goodwill of the King of Chu to Your Majesty one by one. ”

Li Xiang shook the goose feather fan in his hand slightly, and then said slowly: "When King Wenzhao was king, my Great Chu also sent an envoy to the Khitan, and the relationship between the two countries has always been good. After our king ascended the throne, he has always attached great importance to the diplomatic relations between Khitan and Great Chu. General Drag, your eagerness to return north, my king understands, and is willing to help. ”

Li Xiang said it nicely, but he didn't say a word of truth. Cui Tingxun asked, "I don't know what conditions the King of Chu has?" ”

Li Xiang Zhengse said: "My king guarantees that your army will leave Nanyang safely. An additional 5-day ration per person is provided. What does the general think? ”

Isn't this Chu State an internationalist warrior?

That is, let the Khitans go, and send food?

Thorn blinked, the people of the Central Plains have always had something to say, and he didn't understand what Li Xiang meant. This... How is this possible? He glanced at Cui Tingxun suspiciously, but saw Cui Tingxun coming over with a gloomy face, and said in a low voice: "General Drag, what the King of Chu means is that we have to stay for everything except for 5 days' rations... ”

Choi Tingxun's words are not finished. As if he had been hit by a bullet in his buttocks, he stood up again and said hurriedly: "This is not good, this war horse and weapons are necessary for us to return to the north, and we can't stay." He is not stupid, he knows that only by riding a horse can he come and go like the wind, and only then can he have the opportunity to return to Youzhou. If there were no war horses, it is estimated that he would not be able to go to Bianjing from Dengzhou, and he would be wiped out by the rebels everywhere.

Tu Thorn felt that what he said was not wrong at all, but Cui Tingxun couldn't help but secretly scold him in his heart. As soon as he said this, he didn't show his hole cards - except for war horses and weapons, he could not do anything else. It's like buying something on a stall, the price is 1oo yuan, you should kill at least half of the price, but the thorn is only returned to 90.

As soon as the words fell, Li Xiang immediately knew what he meant, so he said in embarrassment: "Our Dachu road is rugged, it is inconvenient to transport grain, and there is an extreme lack of horses, and your country is located in the desert, and this horse is easy to get." Without these thousands of horses, it doesn't matter to your country, but for my Dachu, it has indeed saved countless people. General Drag, you left the horses to us, that is definitely a good deed for our Great Chu. This... ”

Li Xiang continued to speak, with a bitter face, and said, "Master Li, originally, this... These thousands of horses are not a big deal, but right now, the main force of our army has returned to the north, and if there are no horses, it will be difficult for more than 3ooo of us to return to Youzhou. I hope the King of Chu can be more considerate. ”

The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit bit in a hurry. But people are different, as long as there is hope, they can endure it. Life and death were at stake, and the thorn couldn't help but plead. Li Xiang smiled slightly and said, "Drag the stabbing general, what you said is also reasonable, I agreed for my king." But... Seeing that he was about to express his gratitude, Li Xiang continued: "Your country said that there are more than 3ooo people, this number, I'm afraid it's not quite correct." According to the statistics of our army, there should be only more than 1,000 Khitan sergeants. Those Han people, let them stay, let our army deal with it themselves. ”

"It's not going to work." Before he could speak, Cui Tingxun said: "The rest of the people, although they are Han Chinese, are from a small family in Youzhou, and they are no longer from the Central Plains." They... ”

Seeing that Li Xiang's face was not good, he had the posture of brushing his sleeves away. At the critical moment, the life and death of the individual far prevailed over everything else, and the stab said categorically: "General Cui doesn't need to say much, just according to Lord Li's wishes." I don't know, when will we be able to get out of the city? ”

"Hehe, as long as the general agrees to my king's request, you can stay for a few more days if you want, and you can go whenever you want." Li Xiao said with a smile.

You think it's a tourist attraction or a resort. If you can go, of course, you can go now. The thorn whispered to Cui Tingxun: "We will count the number of people now and leave for the north immediately." General Cui, what do you think? "The official level crushed people to death, not to mention the problem of national status, Cui Tingxun nodded helplessly.

Dragging Thorn immediately stood up, stretched out his hand and patted the table, and said, "Master Li, let's act immediately, our army will go out from the north gate, and your army will enter from the east gate, how about it?" ”

When he stretched out his hand, his sleeve accidentally swept the teacup, and the teacup fell to the ground with a "snap", shattering, and the knife and axe hand hidden in the back hall rushed over in a moment.

Dragged Thorn was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Send off!" Hurry up and escort Lord Li out of the city, if Lord Li is injured in the slightest, I want your life! ”

Li Xiang teased: "General Drag, your way of sending guests is different." ”
