During the meal, Li Qi and Richard had an in-depth discussion of the general plan of cooperation between the two countries, and with Li Qi's omnipotent mouth, the conversation was naturally not the same, and he also hinted at how Richard should fool their emperor.
Richard naturally laughed at it, in fact, he also knew that they were at fault in this matter, and the 10,000 soldiers could not be recovered, and the reason why he repeatedly used these 10,000 lives in front of him was nothing more than to clear his name, which was equivalent to explaining why those 10,000 people appeared there, although the reason was very far-fetched, but at least it also gave them a reason to continue talking.
After that, the two sides discussed the withdrawal of troops for a long time, and Li Qi's meaning was very simple, withdraw the troops, okay, you retreat first, who told you that you made this matter.
Richard knew that he was wrong, so he agreed.
Richard stayed in the camp for the night, and then rushed back to his life.
Richie sent him out of the barracks and changed it to a sight. Master Dao finally saw Li Qi's eloquence with his own eyes, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Li Qi, the old man has convinced you, and this matter is not small, but you made it clear in two or three sentences." ”
Li Qi shook his head and said: "The words of the seed prince are wrong, and any negotiation is based on strength. And, as the saying goes, the dog that bites doesn't bark, if they want to fight, why bother to shoot him, just start a war, obviously, they don't want to fight, we don't want to fight, since both sides don't want to fight, then this war will definitely not be fought, since it can't be fought, then we still talk about this impossible thing to do, it is better to talk about the actual point, so this negotiation will be so pleasant. ”
Orihiko looked at Richard's back and said coldly: "Bu Shuai, do you think they are playing tricks and luring us into being fooled." ”
Li Qi shook his head and said, "No." Have you forgotten the purpose of Ji Minren doing so many things? ”
Zhe Kecun frowned and said, "What does Bu Shuai mean?" ”
Li Qi nodded and smiled: "Yes, they are not for the tens of thousands of stone grain, but for your army." You must know that the Zhejia army is in the northwest is a big trouble for them, and they hate you to the core, and they want to eradicate you in their dreams. In fact, their original plan was to provoke the relationship between the Zhejia army and the imperial court, if they really succeeded, not to mention that the emperor sent troops to come, even if the emperor lost his trust in you, then they could take advantage of the chaos to attack Lanzhou and Hehuang, and then they could also say that you colluded with them. ”
Zhe Kecun was frightened when he heard this, and couldn't help but glared at Zhe Yanzhi fiercely, and the latter's intestines were repentant, and he bowed his head and said nothing.
Li Qi then said: "But now that we have tried through their strategy, Ji Minren and the thousand Xixia soldiers have all been wiped out, and they don't know when we know their plans, they are also worried that we will be able to plan and lead them to be fooled, plus Yue Fei completely annihilated their vanguard army, our army took the initiative to attack and swaggered on the border, which made them even more afraid, and one more thing, they chose to do it at such a moment, it was nothing more than to rely on the Jin State, But how can the two great powers of Song and Jin say that they will fight, not to mention that we are still in alliance with Jin, even if it is not, Jin will not act rashly because of the interests of Western Xia, if Jin wants to start a war against our Great Song, then it must also be carefully deployed. However, the ambiguity of the Jin State made them understand that if they made a strong move, then it was very likely to deal a devastating blow to their Western Xia, because their Western Xia had assisted the Liao State in the past two years, and the losses were quite large, and the people were not able to make a living, and it was okay to win the war, they could turn the internal pressure to diplomacy, if they lost, they would have internal and external troubles, and it would be difficult for them not to die! Therefore, without the certainty of victory, they will never do it. ”
Seed Master Dao nodded slightly, patted Zhe Yanzhi's shoulder, and said seriously: "Virtuous nephew, this can be regarded as a lesson for you, your Zhejia Army is the gateway to the northwest of my Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the backbone of my Great Song Dynasty, even if you have any small mistakes, it may cause very strict consequences, so you must pay attention to the overall situation in everything you do in the future, and you must not do it arbitrarily, because you represent not you alone, but your Zhejia Army!" ”
Zhi Yanzhi nodded and said: "Uncle Seed's teachings, Yan Zhi keep it in mind. ”
Li Qi said with a smile: "But it can be seen from this that Western Xia is afraid of your Folding Army, wasting such a great effort, and would rather endure the danger of making matters worse, and seek to eradicate your Folding Army, which is a good thing, but also a bad thing." ”
Zhi Kecun suddenly said: "Bu Shuai, our Great Song really wants to cooperate with Western Xia." ”
Li Qi nodded and said, "This is a must." The current shape does not allow us to build a strong enemy anymore, and now our Great Song Dynasty is in the recovery period, and we must be taoguang and obscure, so the current qiē plan is an expedient measure. However, cooperation is cooperation, and what should be prevented is still to be prevented, after all, there are no absolutes in the world, and I dare not say that I am very sure, so we must prepare for the worst. You can rest assured, when I return to Beijing this time, I will ask the emperor to increase the military expenditure of your western army, and you must form an impregnable defense system between Hehuang and Taiyuan, and only in an absolutely safe environment can the economy develop rapidly. ”
The seed master said: "It's also ashamed, in fact, in addition to the forbidden army of the Beijing Division, the military expenditure of our Western Army is already the highest, I'm afraid the emperor will not agree." ”
Li Qi said: "This kind of Gongda can rest assured, now the army in the north has all withdrawn to the south of the Yellow River, although the military expenditure has been reduced to the minimum, but the gateway to the north is also open to the outside world, and Taiyuan is our support point in the north and northwest, so no matter what emergencies occur, Taiyuan and Hehuang's generation must not be lost, this is our bottom line." ”
Yue Fei suddenly said, "Bu Shuai, can I ask you if I have a question?" ”
"Of course you can!"
Yue Fei said: "It seems that the qiē that Bu Shuai has done is to prevent the Jin Kingdom. ”
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and said secretly, is what I did so obvious? Then he smiled and said: "Yue Fei, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to defend people." I believe that anyone who faces a big insect can't fall asleep. ”
"Me!"
The drunkard master and apprentice said at the same time.
Sweat! Forget about these two. Li Qi said angrily: "There are exceptions to everything. ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Not long after Richard went back, Western Xia began to withdraw troops one after another, and Li Qi and others also returned to Lanzhou City, as for the family and the Fold family army, they all retreated, in fact, for their two armies, it was a field training, because they were originally stationed there, it can be said that they didn't even go out, and they didn't even have to bring grain and grass, so they didn't cause much movement.
This war was declared stillborn.
In fact, if you want to calculate, the Song Dynasty still took some advantage, although the Western Xia seized tens of thousands of stone grain for no reason, but they lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
However, Li Qi did not relax because of this, he came here anyway, so they worked together and began to strengthen Lanzhou's defenses, after all, Lanzhou was stepping on the border line of Song and Xia, and it could be attacked at any time.
After arranging the defense system, the task of planting the master and saving can be regarded as completed, and they can go back to their own homes and find their own mothers, but in fact, they can't say that they go home, because this Lanzhou is their home in the first place. However, Li Qi has more difficult tasks waiting for him, he also has to help the Western Army consolidate the rear, solve the mess in Fengxiang Mansion, and develop the northwest.
The night before the withdrawal, Li Qi called on the three armies to hold a large bonfire party to increase their friendship with each other, and of course, the most important thing was to increase his relationship with the Zhejia army and the family army.
The local residents were also very welcoming and brought a lot of food.
The soldiers gathered around and were enthusiastic, and the only regret was that Li Qi issued a ban on alcohol, and anyone who drank alcohol should be dealt with by military law. Now everyone knows that this amiable and seemingly commander-in-chief has always been unreasonable in this regard.
In this regard, the drunkard expressed great dissatisfaction, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't drunk, and it was not difficult for him to drink with his ability, but the problem was that Li Qi always used those hundreds of archers to scare him, which made him very unhappy, and quietly sat next to Li Qi, and whispered: "I said Bu Shuai, do you remember what you promised me?" ”
Li Qi smiled: "Of course I remember, but not now, Ming Ri returns to Fengxiang, you can drink it, you can bear it for a little more." ”
When the drunkard saw Li Qi prevaricating him with these words again, he was very depressed in his heart, and said: "Bu Shuai, those of us who are soldiers are all bloody men, how can we do it without wine!" ”
He deliberately raised his voice, just to use the collective power to force Li Qi to comply.
It's a pity that he chose the wrong person, Li Qi is a person with a very strong principle, and before everyone could react, he said resolutely: "You just think about it tonight, if you are really bored, there are so many people here, you can find a few to make a few moves, aren't you also a person who practices martial arts." ”
But as soon as these words came out, he regretted it, this guy is one, whoever wants to play with him, it's not looking for guilt.
But some people don't believe in evil, so Zhe Yanzhi suddenly walked over, first saluted Li Qi, and then said to the drunkard: "This drunkard uncle." ”
"Excuse the uncle, let the drunkard get it, I don't have a stupid nephew like you, being played with in the palm of his hand, and he looks like he is angry." The drunkard raised his hand and interrupted Orihiko's words, and sarcastically sarcastically mocked Orihiko mercilessly.
I dripping the sky, sure enough, there is a teacher and there must be a disciple! Li Qi hurriedly glanced at Zhe Kecun with two apologetic expressions.
Although it is very unpleasant, after all, the other party is not wrong, so he can only smile bitterly.
Zhi Yan is even more depressed, this may be an indelible stain in his life. Holding back his anger, he said: "Not long ago, I heard from the brothers that Your Excellency's skills are very good, and the boy is not talented, and I am willing to learn your Excellency's one and a half moves, and I hope Your Excellency will not hesitate to give advice." ”
He is very martial, it is difficult to find opponents in the army, and he heard his soldiers say that this drunkard can not help but retreat in the face of the roundup of dozens of them, and can also kill them, which makes him feel incredible, and he has long wanted to have a few tricks with the drunkard, and Li Qi has opened this mouth now, he naturally will not let it go......
"You're here again?" The drunkard snorted and said, "I already said, if you want to fight, you can find my little apprentice first, and if you don't win him, don't come to me." Saying that, he suddenly pointed to Yue Fei on the side, and said, "By the way, Xiao Fei, I heard that your marksmanship is good, and you have no power to fight back against my small bridge, I want to see it." ”
Dumbo? Yue Fei sighed and looked at the drunkard blankly.
Ma Qiao was unhappy and said: "Drunkard, you have to talk nonsense, I admit that I lost at the time, but I am not powerless to fight back, Bu Shuai, you saw it with your own eyes!" ”
Li Qi said unscrupulously: "I don't understand this thing, but I seem to remember that Yue Fei knocked down your kitchen knife within three moves." ”
The drunkard jumped up excitedly and said, "Wowhaha." Xiaoqiao, did you hear it, within three moves, this is not without the power to fight back, but Xiaoqiao, you can rest assured, for the teacher to stand up for you, for the teacher within three moves, you will shoot down this kid's spear. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the drunkard with wide eyes, they had seen Yue Fei's skills, how could they believe that the drunkard could shoot down Yue Fei's spear within three moves.
Ma Qiaotou tilted his head and snorted: "Bragging." ”
The drunkard said: "That's okay, if you are a teacher within three moves, you will also make a fool of yourself, so that you can make the teacher happy." ”
Ma Qiao said coldly: "Deal." ”
At this time, a disdainful voice suddenly sounded, "With this small body, I don't know who is making a fool of myself." ”
Small body? Ma Qiao's eyes flashed, looking for prestige, and seeing that it was Zhiyuemei who spoke, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and said to himself: "It turned out to be a woman." That's it, that's it. ”
But Ma Qiao's eyes made Zhe Meiyue's heart froze, and a coldness rushed up from the soles of her feet.
Yue Fei frowned, and couldn't help but look at Li Qi.
Li Qi also felt embarrassed, this drunkard is unfathomable, the key is that his brain is not good, and he can't control it, if he really hurts Yue Fei, how can it be good, but if he says the worry in his heart, it will undoubtedly make Yue Fei lose face, which is not a small blow to a general.
At this time, the seed master suddenly said: "Yue Fei, you just come out and ask him to guide you a few moves." "Yue Fei is his beloved apprentice, and the drunkard's words are so insulting that even he can't stand it.
Li Qi saw that the seed master had spoken, how could he say anything, and said with a smile: "It's okay, anyway, there is nothing to do sitting here." (To be continued.) )
