Chapter 391: Western Xia Sues for Peace
The six squads in the imperial siege were wiped out, and Li Qianshun didn't want his elite soldiers and horses to take the lead as cannon fodder, but the soldiers had the dignity of soldiers, and in their opinion, the elite should charge into battle, so the six squads in the imperial enclosure were gone. More than half of the 10,000 cavalry of each department was also lost, which was still due to the lack of cavalry in the main beam, and the front and rear armies did not have time to block the cavalry.
There were so many casualties, and the Western Xia soldiers and horses did not rush to the front of the Chinese army in Daliang. The power of the divine arm crossbow is too great, shooting people to death, shooting horses and horses down, and under the continuous shooting, the cavalry cannot get close.
That night, the army of Liang State camped twenty miles away from the Deshun army.
When Chao Yong was about to go up Liupan Mountain with everyone to have a look, a group of Western Xia envoys came to the camp to ask for a meeting.
Ten large boxes were carried into Chao Yong's big tent, although everyone had guessed some, but when the boxes were opened, the flickering jewels still made everyone a little distracted.
Chao Yong didn't say a word, watching the Western Xia envoy perform.
The envoy of Western Xia, Kuma Caibu, opened the box with his own hands, bent down and said: "This is a little bit of the heart of the lord of my family, I hope that the prince will allow my country to be a vassal to Daliang." ”
Chao Yong said: "When you send troops, you shouldn't bring these things, right?" ”
Everyone also reacted, Lu Zhishen kicked the box and scolded: "The Xixia dog thieves took our people's things to beg for mercy. ”
Kuma hurriedly said: "If the crown prince agrees to peace, my country is willing to return all the cities occupied by the troops this time." ”
Chao Yong shook his head and said, "These things were originally ours, even if you don't return them, I can get them back." ”
Kuma said busily: "I know that there is a new firearm in the girder, and it can even blow up the city wall, but I am afraid that this firearm will not have much effect in the field." There are 90,000 soldiers and horses in our country outside the city of Deshun Army, and there are 200,000 soldiers and horses on Huanqing Road. ”
Chao Yong smiled: "Then you can try." ”
Wu Song looked at the Western Xia envoy viciously and said, "Those who dare to stretch out their claws to my Han people should cut off their claws, and those who stretch out their heads should cut off their heads." Since the Western Xia Emperor is here, let him stay. ”
Li Ying said with a smile: "I heard that the grassland people can dance, and I guess this lord dances better." Back then, Tang Taizong caught a lot of lords dancing and got the title of Tian Khan. We can also catch some and go back, so that the emperor will not lose to Tang Taizong. ”
Kuma Caibu heard Li Ying's banter like this, and couldn't help but say with a blue face: "I also heard that the emperor of the Liao State just wanted Wanyan Agu to dance, so he forced Wanyan Agu to rebel, and now half of the Liao Kingdom is gone." ”
Chao Yong smiled: "That's Yelu Yanxi's incompetence, maybe in a few years, he will be dancing in Tokyo after Yan Aguta." ”
Seed Master Dao looked at the Western Xia envoy who showed off his martial arts in the past, but now he was being laughed at arbitrarily by Da Liang, and his heart was also very happy.
Kuma buried the sermon: "There are still Wang Qing and Tian Hu in the Central Plains, and Jiangnan heard that there is also a Song State, even if the Great Liang wants to sweep away the countries, it will have to wait until the Central Plains are unified." I also heard that the crown prince resisted foreign aggression, and would rather let Tian Hu and Wang Qing sit big, and collect troops to resist the invading Liao State and Western Xia. Therefore, the lord of our country wants to negotiate peace with the prince, and our country will return the state capital that we have invaded this time, and the prince only needs to guarantee that he will not invade our country in the future. In this way, the crown prince can also return to the army to unify the Central Plains, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. ”
Chao Yong said disdainfully: "The Liao State retreated, what promise did they get?" ”
Kuma bent down and said: "It is precisely because the prince does not promise easily that the lord of our country wants the prince's promise, although my country is in a remote place, but I also know that the heroes of Liangshan have a promise." Our invasion of the Central Plains was also due to the bitter cold in the northwest and the lack of arable land, so we had no choice but to use our troops. I also ask the prince to forgive us for the sake of survival, and say that our country will not dare to invade the territory of the Han people in the future. God has the virtue of a good life, and he asked the prince to give us a glimmer of life. ”
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Don't worry, if I destroy Western Xia, I won't wipe out all of your party members." My emperor is merciful, and you will only survive better. ”
Kuma Cai buried his teeth and said: "The northern front of the Liao Kingdom is tight, and it is unable to fight with the Great Liang for a long time. Our country is different, there are no strong neighbors on the left and right, if the prince does not promise our country, our country will fight a protracted war with Daliang on the border, unless you have been stationing troops on the border. But Daliang has recently opened the country, and I am afraid there are not many soldiers and horses in the country. If they all stay in the northwest, the Central Plains will only be Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and the Song Dynasty. ”
"Bold, even small barbarian countries dare to speak out and threaten."
Mu Hong shouted, glared at Kuma, his hand had already touched the handle of the knife, as long as the prince gave an order, he would immediately make the blood of this barbarian who didn't know whether he was alive or dead splashed five steps.
Kuma buried the cloth but said without showing weakness: "The prince of Daliang is descended to earth, and with the help of gods and thunder, Daliang will inevitably be stronger and stronger than the Han and Tang Dynasties." When the Central Plains is unified, it will be the time when all the countries will perish. My lord knew that this was the last chance, and that was why he sent me to sue for peace. If the prince is gracious and allows me to be a minister of Western Xia, my country does not dare to ask for extravagant coins, and would rather pay tribute to Daliang every year, just to keep my Xixia country. ”
Chao Yong got up and said: "Xixia has been guilty of the border for many years, stained with the blood of my Han people, I will not give any promises." You can take things with you or you can keep them, and I'm not in a hurry to get them back. ”
Kuma saw that Chao Yong had no intention of continuing to talk, gritted his teeth, and stretched his hand into his arms.
Liu Qi saw that there seemed to be something in Kuma's buried clothes, and hurriedly shouted, "Prince be careful." ”
Chao Yong stretched out his waist for a long time, and looked at Kuma in a playful manner.
Kuma saw Chao Yong put his foot under the handsome case, and knew that there was no chance, no matter what he threw out, the invincible Chao Yong could pick up the handsome case with one kick and block the attack.
Kuma saw that there were already people rushing on both sides, and he didn't move the hidden weapon underneath, took out a dagger, and aimed it at his heart.
The people who rushed to the front saw Kuma burying such a move, and they didn't make a move.
Kuma Cai buried the cloth at Chao Yong, and said with a smile: "The Tangut people are not afraid of death, let alone watch the destruction of the Tangut people, if the prince does not give our country a chance, there will be no fewer Tangut warriors who regard death as home, please see my Tangut people's determination to protect the country." ”
After saying that, with the force of his hand, the dagger stabbed towards the heart.
"Wait."
Kuma had already felt the chill at the tip of the dagger, and when he heard Chao Yong shouting to stop, he also breathed a sigh of relief, stopped and said, "What advice does the prince have?" ”
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "It's rare to meet a good man who is not afraid of death, it's a pity to die like this." Since Li Qianshun wanted to sue for peace, he first put back all the Han people in Western Xia. ”
Kuma thought about it for a moment and said, "I can't make the decision about the prince's request, and I have to go back and ask my lord." ”
Chao Yong said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then you can go back and ask Li Qianshun, as long as there is still a Han in Western Xia, you will not agree to negotiate peace." (To be continued.) )
