Chapter 059: Be reasonable
The fog was filled, the sky was gloomy, and the firelight on the Jiangling city wall looked a little strange, like an eye hanging in mid-air, staring closely at the movement of the Tang Army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Tens of thousands of Tang troops carried siege equipment and slowly approached Jiangling City, and the mist wet their yellow robes, making them feel a chill in the cold wind.
Li Jiancheng has bright armor, rides a red horse, and is in the middle of the army, with the air of a king. Wei Ting and the others accompanied Li Jiancheng's side, and everyone looked calm, looking at Jiangling City with cold eyes, and the atmosphere of slaughter became more and more intense.
Everyone can see that Li Jiancheng is determined to win Jiangling City, and unless the sky stops it, there will inevitably be a river of blood today!
The Tang army stopped two miles outside the city, and a military general came out of the ranks, rode his horse to the edge of the moat, and shouted for Xiao Mo to leave the city and surrender. The walls were so quiet that no one paid any attention to him.
The military general snorted coldly, pulled the reins in a very chic manner, and was about to return to the formation, Li Jiancheng in the distance sighed slightly, and was very ashamed of Xiao Milling for resisting to the death regardless of the lives of the people, and felt that Xiao Milling was not worthy of his previous reputation.
A piercing "squeak" sounded, the gate of Jiangling City slowly opened, and the military general of the Tang Dynasty frowned slightly, stopped turning around, clenched the weapon in his hand, looked at the person and horse who came out of the city.
The war horse under the crotch of the visitor was black, tall and handsome, with powerful hooves, raised its head high, and walked out of the city leisurely, but the speed was very fast, and after a while, it looked across the river from the military general of the Tang Dynasty.
"His Royal Highness King Wei?" The military general of the Tang Dynasty saw the person clearly, his face changed, and he said in a trembling voice. Li Xuanba was wearing armor, holding a double hammer, and his eyes were cold, as if a killing god had descended into the world, which made the military general feel suffocated.
"The Tang Dynasty and the Southern Sui have always been peaceful, I don't know why the general attacked my Jiangling City in the Southern Sui?" Li Xuanba raised his hammer and pointed at the general, and said in a cold voice: "Could it be that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants to start a war with the Southern Sui?" Since you came out to call the battle, my father will come and will not you! ”
The military general was stunned for a long time, he was ordered to come to call the battle, he never thought that Xiao Mo would really go out of the city and surrender, the purpose of his call was just to improve the morale of the Tang army, so that the next siege could be smoother.
But who would have thought that the city gate was really opened, and what was even more unexpected was that the person who came out was not Xiao Miao, nor any of the generals of Daliang, but Zhou Guogong of Southern Sui!
"His Royal Highness King Wei, when did Jiangling become the city of Southern Sui?" The military general endured the shock and saluted: "You are the number one warrior in the world, how dare the last general compete with His Highness?" ”
In the face of Li Xuanba, the military general had to admit it, not to mention that he couldn't beat Li Xuanba, and it was very likely that he would be killed by Li Xuanba with a hammer, even if he could fight, just by virtue of Li Xuanba's identity, he wouldn't dare to fight against Li Xuanba!
"This is a matter of the Southern Sui Imperial Court, do you still have to inform you?" Li Xuanba put down his weapon and said contemptuously: "Since you don't dare to fight me, go back and tell your boss and ask him to send some useful people out, and my father is waiting here!" ”
That military general has been fighting for many years, and there are dozens of souls under the gun, when has he been so despised? But he dared not speak angrily, arched his hand, and returned to the formation with a cold face. The general's face was indeed very ugly, because from beginning to end, Li Xuanba had never asked his name.
"What, Xuanba came to Gangneung City?" When Li Jiancheng heard the report, his head instantly became much bigger, he was always worried that there would be an accident in the attack on Jiangling, but he didn't expect that the accident really happened, and it was still an extremely difficult Li Xuanba to deal with.
"In this way, the army that entered Jiangling City yesterday was not the reinforcements of the Great Liang, but the soldiers of the Southern Sui." Wei Ting sighed and said, "Since King Wei dares to do this, he must have something to rely on, His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that you have to go and meet him in person." ”
Li Jiancheng nodded helplessly, he didn't want to face Li Xuanba now, because he couldn't guess Li Xuanba's thoughts.
There was a bridge on the moat, and Li Xuanba stood on the bridge with the night breeze on his face, with a smile on his face, watching Li Jiancheng come under the dozen guards who accompanied him.
When he arrived at the bridge, Li Jiancheng jumped off his horse and asked the guards to stop and wait, those guards heard this, their faces changed slightly, they glanced at Li Xuanba in fear, and just about to speak, Li Jiancheng had already taken steps onto the bridge.
"Chang'an, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." The two were two steps apart, and Li Jiancheng said: "The matter of Wangyue Tower, you did a very beautiful job, and you didn't leave any handles, and the eldest brother admired it very much." ”
"What Mochizuki Tower?" Li Xuanba was puzzled: "Xuanba doesn't understand what the eldest brother is talking about. After speaking, he looked at Li Jiancheng with an innocent face, and his eyes were as clean as a child.
Li Jiancheng smiled, there are some things that everyone knows, and it is pointless to say and argue, and he didn't come here for the sake of Wangyue Tower: "Xiao Mo has nothing to do with you Nansui, why do you want to get involved in the affairs between Datang and him?" ”
"What the eldest brother said is not right, Lord Xiao is an important minister of the Southern Sui, Jiangling is an inseparable part of the Southern Sui, the Tang Dynasty provoked a war for no reason, and Xuanba naturally led the army to the rescue." Li Xuan replied calmly.
"Jiangling is the city of Southern Sui?" Li Jiancheng laughed angrily, squinted his eyes and said: "Two days ago, the banner of the Great Liang was still hung on the wall of Jiangling, and you actually said that it was the land of the Southern Sui, wouldn't it make people laugh and lose their teeth?" ”
"Really?" Li Xuanba touched his head, it seemed that he was also very strange about this matter, he thought about it for a while, and said: "It is possible that Lord Xiao forgot about this matter, Xuanba will punish him on behalf of the imperial court, thank you for reminding the eldest brother." ”
"Ming people don't say dark words, there are no outsiders here, big brother wants to ask you, do you really want to go against big brother?" The smile on Li Jiancheng's face disappeared and turned into a cold face.
"Don't hide it from the eldest brother, Lord Xiao has indeed already surrendered to the Southern Sui Imperial Court, when Li Xiaogong attacked Jiangling, Xuanba led the army to raid thousands of miles and capture Guanxian, preparing to cut off Li Xiaogong's back road and force him to withdraw his army, so as to achieve the role of encircling Wei and saving Zhao." Li Xuanba sighed and said very seriously: "You should know what happened later, so it's not that Xuanba wants to go against the eldest brother, it's really the eldest brother that you attacked Jiangling and forced Xuanba to come!" ”
What Li Xuanba said, Li Jiancheng believed nine out of ten, and summed it up, he didn't believe it at all.
When Li Xuanba captured Guanxian, he was not in a hurry to transfer troops, but stayed in Guanxian for a long time to clean up the mess left by Zhu Cang, and it was precisely because Li Xuanba did not leave in time that Li Xiaogong gave Li Xiaogong the opportunity to besiege Guanxian!
"Are you an idiot to be a big brother?" Li Jiancheng reprimanded: "Big brother just asked you, will you let you go?" (To be continued.) )
