Chapter 585: The King Who Chooses Forbearance
After the more than 300,000 troops of the Broken Army left Dawan City, the Dawan army outside the city re-entered Dawan City and took over the capital of Dawan Kingdom.
On the evening of September 19, in the mansion of the eldest prince Idris in Dawan City, the second prince Imad gritted his teeth and said to the eldest prince Idris: "The Broken Army is too ruthless, almost every family in Dawan City is wearing filial piety, in the past few months when the Broken Army captured Dawan City, Dawan City has lost at least nearly a million people, and almost all of them are young and strong, and a lot of wealth in the city has also been looted away by the Broken Army, and the Broken Army is also looting beautiful women in Dawan City, and even more than a dozen of my wives and concubines have been taken away by the Broken Army. I'm worried that the dozen wives and concubines have ...... I must let the Broken Army return ten or a hundred times the revenge! ”
Then the second prince Imad slammed his fist at the wooden table in front of him and slammed it hard, "I really want to lead the troops to kill all the hundreds of thousands of broken troops out of the city now, if these hundreds of thousands of broken army are allowed to leave our Dawan country with a swagger like this, our Dawan country will definitely become a joke in the entire Western Regions!" ”
The eldest prince Idris's face was extremely gloomy at this time, not only the wife and concubine of the second prince Imad, but even more than a dozen wives and concubines in his mansion were abducted by the Broken Army.
The third prince Charari sighed and said: "The Broken Army withdrew from Dawan City this time, did not release the father, and took away a large number of royal members of our Dawan Kingdom as hostages, including the dozen or so young children of our three brothers. ”
The eldest prince Idris said in a deep voice: "Everything is based on the safety of my father, for the sake of my father, our Dawan Kingdom has paid an unimaginable price, and we can't affect the overall situation because of some women, but this shame, our Dawan Kingdom will definitely get it back!" ”
The second prince Imad said a little unwillingly: "Big brother, are you just watching those hundreds of thousands of broken captives leave the Dawan Kingdom with great strength?" ”
The eldest prince Idris said with a calm face: "Otherwise, what else? Do you want to kill your father? ”
The second prince, Imad, opened his mouth and didn't say anything more, just shook his head gloomily.
The eldest prince Idris may have felt that his tone was a little stiff, he walked to the side of the second prince Imad, patted the shoulder of the second prince Imad and said: "Second brother, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and after my father is safe, it will be the time for us to settle accounts with the Broken Army!" ”
"Big brother, I understand that I can only endure it now, but I am really a little unwilling in my heart, this time Dawan City was captured by the Broken Army, and the loss of our Dawan Kingdom is too great!"
The eldest prince Idris then said to the second prince Imad and the third prince Charari: "Dawan City will be handed over to you two first, and I have to personally welcome my father back to Dawan City." ”
The 320,000 broken troops who evacuated Dawan City filled nearly 40,000 horse-drawn carts because they carried too much gold, silver, treasure, grain and grass, and almost a quarter of the carriages were loaded with gold, so that the marching speed was not fast, and they could travel more than 70 miles in a day.
And just near the team of the Broken Army, the two cavalry corps and three infantry legions of the Dawan Army have been following the movements of the Dawan Army, monitoring the movements of the Broken Army, these five Dawan Army Corps are all troops that originally gathered outside the Dawan City, because there is the King of the Dawan Kingdom Yeman and many royal family members as hostages, these Dawan Army does not dare to make any rash moves against this Broken Army, and can only follow all the way.
As this broken army went all the way to the west, more and more Dawan troops appeared around, and when Liu Ji led 320,000 broken troops to arrive in the original Dawan Kingdom Kedemila Province, at least more than three million Dawan troops appeared around this broken army, and it was the beginning of November in 431 of the Great Jin Dynasty.
The province of Kedemira has now been ceded to the Breaker Army by the Dawan Kingdom, and is one of the ten provinces ceded by the Dawan Kingdom.
And so many Dawan army troops, basically all the Dawan army that fought with the Broken Army on the territory of the former Gaochang Kingdom before, were led by Duke Fawaz, the younger brother of the King of Dawan Kingdom, Yeman, to monitor this broken army that captured Dawan City, of course, even if more troops were gathered on the side of Dawan Kingdom, they would not dare to attack the 320,000 Broken Army.
On the evening of November 3, in a tent, Liu Ji invited the king of Dawan as a hostage to dinner, Liu Ji looked at Yeman, who seemed to be ten years old, picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "King Yeman, we have known each other for so long, this is the first time you and I have sat down to eat, come!" I, Liu Ji, toast you with a glass of wine! ”
Yeman, the king of Dawan Kingdom, glanced at the wine and food on the wooden couch in front of him, sneered and said, "There is no good banquet, could it be that you invited me to drink the severed head wine?" ”
Liu Ji shook his head and continued to smile and said: "King Yeman, don't get me wrong, this is not about to arrive in Kedemira Province, as long as our team enters Kedemira Province safely, I, Liu Ji, will definitely abide by my promise and restore the freedom of King Yeman and many members of the royal family of Dawan Kingdom, I, Liu Ji, am very honest!" ”
Yeman heard Liu Ji mention Kedemira Province, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble, Kedemila Province was originally the pearl of the eastern provinces of Dawan Kingdom, not only the land is fertile, but also rich in gold, it can be said that it is the second largest gold producing area in Dawan Country, and the largest gold producing area in Dawan Country is Karawan Province where Dawan City is located.
"Liu Ji, aren't you afraid that after you let Lone go, Lone will come to you with the tens of millions of troops of Dawan Kingdom to take revenge?" Yeman asked in a deep voice.
Liu Ji smiled slightly and said: "King Yeman, if I Liu Ji were afraid of your Dawan Kingdom, I would not have provoked the previous war, and your Dawan Kingdom can gather tens of millions of troops, do you think that our broken army will not be able to gather tens of millions of troops?" ”
Yeman picked up the wine glass on the wooden couch in front of him, and after drinking it all, he said to Liu Ji in a deep voice: "Lone is looking forward to competing with the Broken Army on the battlefield in the future!" ”
Liu Ji also immediately drank the wine from the wine glass in his hand, "King Yeman, our Broken Capture Army is waiting for you to bring troops to take revenge at any time, but I have to remind you that you have to be prepared to cede dozens of Dawan Kingdom provinces to our Broken Army." ”
"Hmph-Lone will definitely return what Dawan Kingdom has lost!"
After Liu Ji and Ye Man had dinner together, Ye Man was escorted down by the puppet bodyguards, and Jiang Wei, who had been accompanying him in the tent, hesitated for a moment and said to Liu Ji: "Lord, Ye Man has a monstrous hatred for our Broken Army, if Ye Man is let go, he is really likely to gather the strength of the Great Wan Kingdom and come to our Broken Army for revenge, it is better to ......"
Liu Ji waved his hand and said: "If you really kill Yeman, then Dawan will really gather the strength of the country to find our Broken Army to take revenge, Yeman is also a hero, this time the big battle between our Broken Army and Dawan has made Yeman see the strength of our Broken Army, before a certain certainty, Yeman should not dare to provoke a war between the two sides, and even if Dawan wants to continue the war, what is our Broken Army afraid of!" ”
Jiang Wei smiled bitterly, his lord had occupied so many princesses, daughters and daughters-in-law of Yeman, after letting Yeman leave, could Yeman give up? Jiang Wei was worried that once Yeman returned, maybe a larger war would break out between the Broken Army and the Great Wan Kingdom!
Jiang Wei then said: "My lord, this time, after all, our Broken Army forced the Great Wan Kingdom, ceded all the territory of the original Gaochang Kingdom, as well as the ten provinces in the eastern region of the Great Wan Kingdom, and killed so many people in the Great Wan City, after releasing Yeman and many members of the royal family of the Great Wan Kingdom, our Broken Army must guard against the retaliation of the Great Wan Kingdom." ”
Liu Ji said with a smile: "According to the news just sent by Zhang Liang with carrier pigeons, now the five elite troops of the Tiger Ben Army, the Xuanjia Soldiers, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the White Horse Congyi and the Modao Soldiers, as well as the main forces of the Western Regions Legion, the Western Frontier Army and the Guards Legion, as well as the ten cavalry brigades and twenty infantry brigades newly formed by the Western Regions Protectorate, have all been stationed in various parts of the former Gaochang Kingdom and ten provinces in the eastern region of the Dawan Kingdom, and the total number of troops gathered has exceeded four million, which is enough to defend the Dawan Kingdom. ”
Jiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are four million troops, which should be enough to resist the invasion of the army of the Great Wan Kingdom. ”
On the morning of November 5, Liu Ji led 320,000 captives to finally enter the former Dawan province of Kedemila, and joined forces with the troops stationed in Kedemila Province, and then Liu Ji ordered the release of Yeman, the king of Dawan and many members of the royal family of Dawan who were taken hostage.
Yeman and many members of the royal family of the Dawan Kingdom were immediately taken back to the millions of Dawan troops, and in the temporary camp of the Dawan army in the desert, Yeman met his eldest son, Prince Idris, and his own brother, Duke Fawaz.
"Father, the child is incompetent, and you have suffered, woo-" The eldest prince Idris, when he saw King Yeman, could not help but feel sad in his heart.
Duke Fawaz also said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, you have finally returned safely!" ”
Yeman stepped forward and patted his son Idris on the shoulder, then turned around and patted his younger brother Duke Fawaz on the shoulder, and then sighed and said: "For the sake of Lone's life, the price paid by our Dawan Kingdom is too great, what is the current situation in Dawan City?" ”
The eldest prince Idris hesitated for a moment and said: "Because of the spontaneous resistance of the civilians in Dawan City to the Broken Army, so that they were brutally suppressed by the Broken Army, according to rough statistics, in the few months that the Broken Army captured Dawan City, nearly a million people were lost in Dawan City, and a large amount of wealth in Dawan City, including hundreds of millions of taels of gold in the palace and treasury, was also robbed by the Broken Army, and ......"
Speaking of this, the eldest prince Idris couldn't help but pause, and King Yeman glanced at the eldest prince Idris, and then asked in a deep voice, "What else?" Idris, just say it! ”
The eldest prince Idris continued: "The Broken Army is still looting beautiful women in Dawan City, including dozens of princesses of my father, as well as more than a dozen princesses who have been married or have not been married, as well as more than a dozen of my wives and concubines, all of whom have been taken out of Dawan City by the Broken Army, and now these people have not been released back by the Broken Army. ”
When King Yeman heard the words of the eldest prince Idris, his temples suddenly burst into bruises, and an irrepressible anger flashed in his eyes, "Liu Ji! You're a deceitful! Lone must crush your bones and ashes! ”
At this time, Duke Fawaz suddenly asked in shock: "Your Majesty, could it be that the Broken Army that captured Dawan City was personally led by Liu Ji, the commander of the Broken Army?" ”
King Yeman took a deep breath, nodded slightly and said: "It is indeed Liu Ji who personally led the troops to capture Dawan City, but unfortunately Lone has not been able to spread the news, otherwise Lone would rather burn the jade with Liu Ji, if Lone dies, our Dawan Kingdom still has Idris, and if there is no Liu Ji on the side of the Broken Army, the threat to our Dawan Kingdom will plummet!" ”
Duke Fawaz said with a wry smile: "Liu Ji is too bold to dare to go deep into the hinterland of our Dawan Kingdom, lead troops to seize the capital of our Dawan Kingdom, and let him succeed, this is really shocking, Your Majesty, what should we do next?" ”
The eldest prince Idris immediately said: "Father, at this moment, we have gathered eighteen cavalry legions and twenty-five infantry legions in this desert west of the province of Kedmira, so it is better to send troops directly and recapture the ten provinces ceded to the Broken Army!" ”
King Yeman turned to Duke Fawaz and asked, "What do you think, Fawaz?" ”
Duke Fawaz pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the two cavalry legions and three infantry legions brought by the eldest prince all suffered a lot of losses when attacking Dawan City, and the sixteen cavalry legions and twenty-two infantry legions brought by the minister this time also lost a lot of troops in the previous successive battles with the Broken Army, and now we have gathered eighteen cavalry legions and twenty-five infantry legions in the desert west of the province of Kedmila, and the total strength is three million. If His Majesty is going to retake the ten provinces ceded to the Breakers, it would be best to wait for these dozens of legions to recover. ”
King Yeman then was silent for a long time before he spoke to the eldest prince Idris and Duke Fawaz and said in a deep voice: "The strength of the Broken Capture Army is strong, if we want to take revenge in Dawan Kingdom, we must make adequate preparations, and now we have a serious shortage of many legions in Dawan Kingdom, so we can only hold back this breath first, and we will go back to Dawan City first." ”
The eldest prince Idris sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that his more than 20 wives and concubines can't be saved, "Father is right, to deal with the Broken Army, our Dawan Kingdom must make sufficient pre-war preparations, gather enough troops, and strive to completely solve the Broken Army, the henchman of our Dawan Kingdom, in one battle!" ”
