(There were three shifts yesterday, and this is the first shift today.) Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere will be more in the next few days. ）

Yelu Enemy Lie wanted to withdraw because he knew that if this battle continued, the Raozhou army would definitely be defeated. As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, he must be able to recognize the situation on the battlefield, and similarly, as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, it is also painful to have such an awareness.

"It's not easy to withdraw troops. The terrain around this area is empty, and Lu Longjun occupies a high place, and their rangers are everywhere, Raozhou Army cannot escape at all, and once Lu Longjun finds out that our army retreats, it will definitely not let it go, and if Lu Longjun makes a big move at that time, it will be a disaster for our army. ”

Han Zhongxi's words were heart-to-heart, but Yelu Enemy Lie also knew that it was the truth.

"It's better to send the elite to break the rear, drag the Tang army, and cover the retreat of the main force."

This suggestion was not endorsed by Jerodreh. If it hadn't been for last night's battle, Yelu Enemy Lie might have been able to send his elite to cover the withdrawal of the army, but the elite suffered a lot of casualties in last night's hard battle, but they no longer had the combat strength to complete such a task. The elite of the descendants are not good, and the morale of the other departments is even more low, and they can't withstand the Tang army's rush.

"Why don't you pretend to withdraw the army, but actually set up an ambush in the middle of the road, and when the Tang army pursues it, you will kill the Tang army and return to the horse gun?"

Those who said this were met with an angry and disdainful gaze from Jerod.

This kind of trick may work against Yong generals, but against Li Congjing, it is simply self-defeating. There is no shortage of elite rangers in Lu Long's army, and the grassland is vast, if Li Congjing can be ambushed in this way, then he will not be able to let the Raozhou army get to this point.

After various opinions were rejected, no opinions were raised for a long time.

Because there are no more comments to make.

So everyone sadly found that if this battle continued, the Raozhou army would be defeated, and if it didn't fight, it would leave, but the Raozhou army would not be able to leave.

How good is that?

Han Joong-seok prides himself on being wise, and now he has no idea.

It's not that there is no way at all, Han Zhongxi's final advice is: "At this point, the king can only choose one person to be loyal to Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang first, and then ask him to divide his troops to help cover the retreat of my army." ”

This is a possible solution.

The reason why the Raozhou army could not cover each other and retreat was not because the troops were insufficient, but because the whole army had no morale and could not withstand the Tang army's several charges. And if there is Yelu Bei or Yelu Deguang's troops to help, on the one hand, it can make the Raozhou army regain its fighting spirit, and on the other hand, the new force is also an important combat force.

And once the Raozhou army gets out of trouble, whether it is joining Yelu Bei or Yelu Deguang, it will be enough for them to become strong and strong, and form an absolute advantage over the other side - that is to say, as long as Yelu Enemy Lie is loyal and asks for help, Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang are very likely to agree to Yelu Enemy Lie's request.

I have to say that this is the last resort, and it is also a good solution.

But after some consideration, Jerevi did not take this opinion.

Time was running out, and Yelu Dilie finally made a decision - to negotiate with Li Congjing.

Of course, everyone disagrees with Yelu Dilie's risk, they don't disagree with this plan, in all fairness, this is also a method, and it is the most direct way to solve the problem in front of them, if you can't fight, you can talk about it, this is also a common thing for the two armies to face each other, but everyone disagrees with Yelu Dilie to go to the Tang army camp, saying that he wants Li Congjing to come out, and the two talk in front of their respective formations.

"What is the situation of our army, you know it, so how can Li Congjing not know? If we fight for another three or five days at most, our army will undoubtedly be defeated, and at that time, you and I will not be spared if the Lu Long army is in the direction of the front. Li Congjing has the general momentum in his hands, how can he come to negotiate with this king before the battle? Only when this king goes to Tang Ying can he show his sincerity. What Li Congjing said was also the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and his reputation was famous, and he had to take into account the judgment of the people of the world in his words and deeds. Don't worry. ”

So said Yelu Dilie. I have to admit that he knows Li Congjing quite well.

Everyone couldn't dissuade him several times, Han Zhongxi volunteered to go to the Lulong military camp for Yelu Dilie, but in the end Yelu Dilie still didn't agree, Han Zhongxi insisted, Yelu Dilie couldn't resist, so he agreed to take him with him.

In this way, Yelu Enemy Lie left the camp with only Han Zhongxi and went to the front of the Lulong military camp.

In any case, as a character, Yelu Martyr's courage is still admirable.

Li Congjing was eating, and when he heard that Yelu Enemy Lie came to negotiate alone, the chopsticks in his hand stopped, and he was a little surprised, but then he thought of Yelu Enemy's intention, and continued to pick up vegetables after laughing.

Yelu enemy martyr came to negotiate, or to sue for peace, Li Congjing naturally had no reason not to agree to meet.

Li Yanchao asked if he wanted to put up a strange knife formation to give Yelu Enemy Lie a dismount, Li Congjing shook his head and denied it, his weapon is not so small, and he has to rely on this kind of vulgar tricks to deter and embarrass Yelu Enemy Lie.

While waiting for Yelu Enemy Lie, Du Qianshu asked curiously: "Although the defeat of the Raozhou army has been decided, Yelu Enemy Lie has not yet reached the time of desperation, at least he has one last choice: ask Yelu Bei or Yelu Deguang for help." Why didn't this old man make such a choice, and was willing to take the risk to negotiate with our army? ”

"It's not about taking risks, he is sure that the Lone King will not do anything to him, so it is nothing to go to our army's camp, and I can't say that I can see the reality of our army, and confirm whether our army is as strong as it shows, and whether there are any signs of lack of stamina."

Li Congjing wiped his mouth and asked people to clean up the food, "As for why Yelu Dilie didn't ask Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang for help, it is not difficult to speculate on the root cause. ”

"Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear."

"Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang are already facing each other in the West Building, and the two of them are now at the time of the real sword and gun, not to mention this. Let's just say that the Raozhou army joining any of them will certainly boost the momentum of that side, but it will not be able to gain an overwhelming advantage. Because the Raozhou army joined one of the parties, Lu Longjun could help the other side, so it was difficult to say who would win and who would lose. ”

Li Congjing's tone was not in a hurry, "You must know that the Raozhou army is just the combat power of tens of thousands of soldiers, and once my Lu Longjun helps any of them, it represents the Tang Empire, and the weight is not the same, and the impact on people's hearts and morale is not comparable to that of the Raozhou army." That is to say, the Raozhou army's return to help can protect itself at most, and it cannot influence the situation on the battlefield in Xilou - in the long run, it can't even talk about self-protection. In this way, what is the point of Yelu Enemy Lie's reinforcement, what can he get if he returns to help? ”

"This ...... Even if you protect yourself, isn't it enough, doesn't Yelu have other extravagant hopes? Du Qianshu was puzzled.

"It's nature." Li Congjing took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, "People always want more!" ”

Putting down the tea bowl, Li Congjing got up and came to the door of the big tent, under the hillside, Yelu Enemy Lie had been led into the camp, he continued: "Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang are two tigers fighting, Yelu Enemy Lie has been waiting for the price from the beginning to sell, and it is the idea of harming the public and private interests. Now that there is no need to return to the West Building, it is better not to go back to the West Building, beg me, and let me let him go back to Raozhou. ”

"Huh?" Du Qianshu was stunned.

"Back to Raozhou, no longer meddle in the West Building, sit and wait for the situation in the West Building to be clear, and then be loyal to the victorious side. As long as he still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, he will still be a big man in the Khitan military circle in the future, and his power and position will not decay - no matter what, now Yelubei and Yelude are evenly matched, and the winner of the West Building in the future will be the one supported by my Tang Dynasty, it is precisely because he sees this that he Yelu Enemy Lie does not fight to the death with Lu Longjun at this time, in order not to make too much enmity with the Tang Dynasty, and he has saved a lot of Khitan military strength in front of Lu Longjun, how can it be enough for him to explain to the Khitan Emperor. ”

Speaking of this, Li Congjing couldn't help laughing and asked Du Qianshu: "Compared to going back to the West Building now, it is very likely that you will end up with a fiasco and nothing, isn't this the best ending?" ”

Du Qianshu was speechless.

"What an old fox and old horseman!" After a long time, Du Qianshu scolded indignantly, and then gave up his hand, "Your Highness can see it thoroughly." ”

Li Congjing waved his hand, "This is the most likely scenario." Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Yelu Dilie's visit was only to delay time under the guise of negotiations, so as to gain time for him to ask for help from Yelu Bei, Yelu Deguang, or other intentions - if he was bent on his country and wanted to defeat Lu Longjun. ”

There is also a slight possibility of this possibility, but Du Qianshu obviously doesn't believe it, what he cares about is Li Congjing's plan, "If Yelu Enemy Lie really comes to ask His Highness to let him live and let him go back to Raozhou to stay, will His Highness agree?" ”

Li Congjing was noncommittal, "Then it depends on how much price he is willing to pay." ”

Suddenly, Yelu Enemy Lie arrived outside the tent, Li Congjing had already returned to the tent at this time, Li Yanchao brought the other party into the tent, Li Congjing sat on the main seat and did not move, he had no intention of getting up at all, and looked at Yelu Enemy Lie and saluted him.

"The king of the Khitan Southern Courtyard, Yelu Enemy Lie, has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty!" Yelu's posture was very good, and his salute was also in order, showing considerable sincerity.

But Li Congjing was not satisfied, which can be seen from his performance without the slightest return salute.

Yelu Enemy Lie bowed down and waited for a while, but he didn't hear any reaction from Li Congjing, so he had no choice but to salute again and said loudly: "Yelu Enemy Lie, the king of the Khitan Southern Courtyard, has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty!" ”

This time, Yelu Enemy Lie got a response from Li Congjing, but what responded to him was not the warmth and politeness he imagined, but a sneer. Then, there was no sound again......

Yelu knew that Li Congjing was giving him a deterrent, as a negotiating party, at this moment, of course, he couldn't keep soft, otherwise the momentum would be suppressed, and the negotiations would not be able to proceed later.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, what does this mean? Could it be that the princes of the Tang Dynasty responded to the envoys with such a 'courtesy'? Jerevid looked up.

Li Congjing let out a sneer, "You also know the word 'etiquette'? The lonely king thought that the one standing in front of him was an uncivilized savage. ”

There was a look of anger on Yelu Lielie's face, "King Qin insulted him for no reason, it really made the world laugh!" ”

"Gratuitous?" Li Congjing smiled coldly, "It seems that you don't know what you're doing wrong, so it's okay, the Lone King might as well teach you, lest you be blasted out of the camp later, and you don't know why." As he spoke, Li Congjing leaned forward slightly, his expression was serious, his tone was aggravated, and the words were loud, "King Gu told you that the Tang Dynasty is the king, and the Khitan is the minister!" When the courtiers see the king, they should call themselves subordinates and bow down, instead of saying what the king of the southern courtyard is, and give me the waist pole to stand so straight! No matter how high your official position is, no matter how many titles you have, it is all given by the king! In front of the king, you are only a courtier, no different from a hundred officials and ministers! There are many courtesies in the world, and the courtesy of the monarch and the minister is the first, as a courtier, don't you know that you abide by the duty of a courtier? ! ”

The words were like thunder falling to the ground, and the enemy couldn't help but be stunned.

"Jerod Enemy!" Li Congjing's expression was wide, and the majesty between his eyebrows could not be violated, "Don't kneel down for the lonely king yet!" ”
