Jerezab's face was wonderful. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
He had the heart to roar angrily, "Li Congjing, don't deceive people too much", but he really didn't have the courage to let it go.
The agreement of the West Building four years ago was clearly written in black and white: the Khitan declared itself a vassal to the Tang Dynasty. If it is a normal day, Yelu Enemy Lie is the king of the Khitan Southern Courtyard, and no Tang envoy will ask him to kneel, but today is different, sitting in front of him is the real Prince of the Tang Dynasty, no matter from which level, Li Congjing asked him to kneel and bow is not too much.
Of course, Jerod can refuse.
However, at present, Lu Longjun defeated the Raozhou army so that he could not find the north, and he took the initiative to come to sue for peace, which was not a matter of confidence, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers were in the hands of others, and Yelu was not angry. Moreover, looking at Li Congjing's posture, if Yelu Enemy Lie did not perform this bowing salute, he might really treat him for a great crime of disrespect, and then reprimanded him with a rod and threw him out of the camp.
After all, Li Congjing kept saying that the courtesy of the monarch and the minister occupied the name of righteousness, and it was justifiable to ask him to salute, even if he was scolded by the rod today, no one would accuse Li Congjing in the future, maybe he would stretch out his thumb and praise the "King of Qin is really majestic"!
- Then it's really a thankless loss, and it's a shame to be thrown home.
People had to bow their heads under the eaves and struggle, and in the end, Yelu Enemy Lie could only hold back his anger, obediently leaned over, and bowed down to the whole courtesy, "My minister...... Yelu enemy martyr, meet His Royal Highness King Qin. β
At the moment when he bowed his head, Yelu Enemy Lie could only comfort himself in his heart: the big husband can bend and stretch.
Then he heard Li Congjing's salty voice, "Get up." β
Li Congjing holds a strong army, has a strong back, and is also a strong person, don't say that Yelu is here to sue for peace, even if Yelu is here to declare war, Li Congjing should ask him to bow down, and he will not give the other party a chance to discount. Holding the general trend, you can't raise your eyebrows wantonly, that's really unreasonable.
"Tell me, why did you come to my camp on this trip?" Li Congjing leaned at Yelu Enemy, the old god was there, and that look was almost holding two walnuts in his hand.
Yelu Enemy Lie stood up straight, and said with full of anger: "The two armies have been fighting for days, and the soldiers have suffered countless casualties...... Minister, please take a break from the sword soldiers. And my Khitan and the Tang Dynasty are already good relations, although there is a reason for this war, but it is not in line with the will of the people, and it is not conducive to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the minister intends to ......"
"That's it, there's no need to talk about it, the lonely king doesn't have the leisure to listen to you drop your book bag!" Li Congjing waved his hand impatiently, looking at Yelu Enemy Lie, "Get straight to the point, say it directly, do you want to ask King Gu to let you live and let you return to Raozhou?" β
Yelu Enemy Lie opened his mouth, speechless for a while, his heart was wrong, this Li Congjing doesn't act according to common sense, I haven't heard that this guy is so hot and so impatient......
Li Congjing saw that Yelu Enemy Lie didn't speak, and Meizhou frowned, "You have to have other plans, but it can be said that the Lone King has no time to guess your mind." β
"This ......" Yelu Enemy Liexin said I didn't say that it wasn't like this, you speak too fast, not stable at all, and even if this thought is right by you, can I easily admit it? Everything is expected by you, so I'll talk about it......
Without waiting for Yelu Dilie's words to finish, Li Congjing waved his hand again, "That's it!" Since you don't want to say it, it's better for the lonely king to say it. If you come to sue for peace, the lone king also agreed to stop the sword soldiers, this will be easy to do, the Raozhou army will be disarmed and disarmed on the spot, and the generals above the centurion in the army and below you will all enter my Lulong military camp, and then you can take the 'Raozhou army' back. If you didn't come to make peace...... Then you don't have a reason to make this trip, you really didn't come to ask for peace, right? β
Li Congjing spits out words very quickly, and ordinary people talk about conditions, but they are afraid that the other party will not be able to hear what they say, but Li Congjing seems to be afraid that the other party will hear every word clearly. Yelu Dilie was thinking about the conditions that Li Congjing proposed, and his heart said that it was too fucking harsh, is this a fucking condition that people can mention?
- If there is no armor and ordnance, and there are no officers left in the army, what kind of army is it called? You can't win when you encounter bandits. With these two, even if they can return to Raozhou this time, but in less than a year and a half, the Raozhou army will not be able to breathe at all, and it will not take three or five years to restore its former combat strength......
Before he could figure it out, he immediately heard Li Congjing's question again, and Yelu Dilie had to answer, "The minister is here to ask for a temporary rest of the sword soldiers......
"In that case, there is no need to say more. The Lone King gives you half a day. Half a day later, Lu Longjun came to receive officers, armor and ordnance. Li Congjing stretched his waist and yawned, "You talk to Li Yanchao about the details, the lonely king is a little tired, you can step down." β
Yelu Enemy Lie had a gloomy face, "The conditions proposed by His Highness are inevitably too harsh, and it is really a bit deceitful to not give people room to maneuver like this." Although the Raozhou army is unfavorable in battle, it has not tasted the strength of a battle, His Royal Highness is so persecuted, is he not afraid of provoking the excitement of the Raozhou army, losing to the death, and breaking the net with Lu Longjun? β
"Then fight!" Li Congjing shrugged indifferently, "Don't blame King Gu for not reminding you, Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang will start a war tomorrow at the latest, presumably the battle will be very fierce at that time, this is not far from the West Building, and the news of the battle in the West Building will be very pleasant." King Gu heard that there are many deserters in your camp these days, I'm afraid that if you wake up the day after tomorrow, you won't need Lu Long's army to fight, and your camp will be half empty, right? β
Li Congjing looked at Yelu Dilie with a tangled expression playfully, "Fight? Yelu Martyr, what do you do to fight the lonely king? I advise you to leave early, otherwise once the Lone King changes his mind, your Raozhou army will ...... He will be removed from the world! β
Yelu Lie trembled, and after a long time, he finally accepted his fate and said sadly: "Your Highness can really keep your promise? β
"You don't joke." Li Congjing waved his hand.
Seeing that Yelu Enemy's expression was gray, and he seemed to be ten years old for a moment, Li Congjing sighed and said seriously: "Win the battlefield, fight for the general trend, win and win the general trend, you are not wronged when you lose, why do you want to die or live like this?" β
In the end, Li Congjing waved his hand, as if driving away flies, "Li Yanchao, take him down." Before dusk, let Raozhou Jun get out, and the lonely king is still waiting to go to the west building to watch the big show. β
"Yes, Your Highness!"
......
Soon after, Lu Longjun set up a formation and left the camp, and the sharp soldiers of the ironclad forest descended in front of Wanmapo.
Tens of thousands of Raozhou sergeants, unloaded their armor, went to their weapons, hung their heads blankly and divided into several large groups, black and pressed like a flock of sheep. In front of them, the armor and weapons were piled up in the mountains, and the spring breeze blew, and the mountains whispered softly, as if to mock their cowardice and incompetence.
In addition to this, hundreds of other sergeants were separated from the brigade and placed at the front, but their hands were tied. There are many of these generals who are hateful and fierce-looking, but at this time, their hateful gaze will only make people feel powerless and sad.
Some time ago, they were the mainstay of the Raozhou army, the elite backbone of the Khitan army, and now, they are outcasts.
In the future, they will be displaced, sent under the fence, and will never have the opportunity to ride a horse and a bow for the rest of their lives.
As warriors, they were deprived of their last dignity, and as an army, there was nothing left of their glory trampled on at this moment.
Xu Jing led the elite cavalry to surround these hundreds of Raozhou generals, looked at them with scrutinizing eyes for a moment, and then waved his hand to let someone check their identities. At this moment, these people in front of him are no longer enemy generals, but just a batch of goods without life and soul, waiting to be handed over.
After a long time, after Xu Jing got the report, he rode back to the formation in front of the hillside and conveyed all the correct information to Li Yanchao. Li Yanchao glanced back at the barracks, and on the highest corner tower, Li Congjing watched the process coldly.
"Take it back." Li Yanchao ordered.
The corners of Xu Jing's mouth moved, and there was a habitual hideous look in his smile. His troops were already on standby, and at this moment he waved his horsewhip and drove the Raozhou officers to the barracks like shepherds driving cattle and sheep.
The sky is fine, the four fields are not desolate, and everything is full of life in this erection season. However, when the hundreds of generals were driven to the barracks, they were like a pool of stagnant water, so that the grass under their feet was breathless, their backs were indescribably desolate, and the eyes that occasionally turned back seemed to shed strings of blood and tears.
After the handover, Yelu Enemy Lie came to Li Yanchao and made a courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and after getting Li Yanchao's approval, he was relieved, thanked him, and then couldn't wait to turn around.
Tens of thousands of young men who can no longer be called soldiers, turned around silently in this bloody twilight, and moved towards Raozhou, they are people who are seeking to survive in death, and they have a chance to live at this moment, but no one feels happy, let alone the slightest cheerful atmosphere.
They are the waning sun, the old men in the twilight.
"This army, even if it has complete armor and ordnance in three or five years, even if the centurions, thousands, and 10,000 commanders in the army are all replenished, it is not an army that can win the battle." Li Congjing looked at the black cloud full of apocalyptic atmosphere, "Their fate is over." β
"Yelu Dilie, the king of the Southern Courtyard?" Li Congjing snorted coldly, and the disdain in his eyes was no longer hidden.
Even if the battle is defeated, and only a few thousand people are left to retreat to Raozhou, the situation is much better than now.
At least, the dignity is still there, the military spirit is still there, and the blood is still there.
As long as there is only one person left in an army, it will be able to get back on its feet in time.
Without these, even if tens of thousands of people were saved, they were nothing more than a fleshless skinβand the army would be completely dead.
"Order the whole army: pull out the camp tomorrow and send the troops to the West Building!"
