Chapter 178: Surrender

PS: Ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month, occupy a potential class ranking, and it's time to go to the day shift again, so try to keep changing. Thank you.

"Boom."

Loud noises and dust filled the valley, Li Ke found that gunpowder in addition to killing people will become very terrible, in the road construction and quarrying, it is still quite easy to use, after studying a gunpowder application theory given to him by Yanglin, coupled with the actual operation during this time, he has become a small blasting expert, using gunpowder to open the road, directly shortening the time to build this road from Yizhou into the mountains several times, although a day is only three or five miles to advance, a month down there are one or two hundred miles, a year to repair, The roads in Guangxi will be smoother than the current Jiangnan, of course, Jiangnan is also being repaired now, and the development of Jiangnan and Lingnan is carried out at the same time, but on the one hand, there is war oppression, and tens of thousands of engineers are responsible for road repair, and on the other hand, the people are mainly forced to do it, and the army assists in spurring the road construction.

Li Ke lived a happier life during this period of road construction, whenever he saw the mountains and rocks in front of the army being blown into pieces and used by the sergeants to fill the ravines, he could proudly feel that he had made a great contribution to this road construction cause.

Li Er's edict arrived, Li Ke's mood changed again, he knew that his father would not look for him if he had nothing to do, and now, the war against An Miao has come to an end, and in the final decisive battle, it is inevitable that Li Er will let him use white phosphorus bombs again, but he is so reluctant in his heart, although he has been mentally prepared for a long time, but when it comes to the end, he still feels that he will not be able to do it.

In Li Er's imperial tent, Li Ke's face was ugly, and several bigwigs in the army were anxiously waiting for his reply. Although the 5,000 vanguard army is less than one-fifth of the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army, it is the most elite among them, if the Chinese army attacks the mountain pass on its back, without the live firepower of the Shenwei cannon to open the way, the casualties may be even worse, who called the road here so difficult, even if Li Ke sets off now, the trapped vanguard army when he arrives at the mountain pass has been out of water for at least three days, which is an extremely dangerous number.

"Father, do you really want your son to become a murderer? Those things are not supposed to be in the world. It was specially made for killing, Erchen didn't think that we had to kill people to conquer southern Xinjiang, we could still negotiate, and we could also use some more gentle methods" Li Ke also wanted to try to persuade Li Er one last time, but Li Er's firm eyes made him stop.

"Ke'er! My father knows that you are kind-hearted, so why do I want to cause too much murder? But if we can't beat the rebellious An Miao hard in one fell swoop, beat him with fear, and beat him until he loses the ability to resist, we will face more difficulties in the future. There will also be more people who will die, do you expect their people to die or ours to die? Xiao Linzi must have a purpose in getting such a weapon for you, today we will kill these rebellious Miao people, tomorrow. We can compensate for bringing a better life to their descendants, and for the sake of the big picture, we have to carry such small things on our backs, if there are still others in this world who know how to do these things. My father will never send you, but you know that this thing is in the hands of any outsider. It is a disaster for Datang, so, as my son Li Shimin, you should bear these responsibilities for Datang and for my Li family, I believe you can understand what I am talking about. ”

Li Er's kind and firm tone is not refusal, but Li Tai on the side wants to take over Li Ke's errand that can show Xi àn in front of Li Er, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to launch rockets, he doesn't know how to use white phosphorus bombs, looking at Li Tai who is eager to try and Li Ke who is full of unbearable expression, Li Er's heart is also very complicated, although Li Tai is the most loved by him, but he knows that this kid has a strange ruthlessness in his heart, if he doesn't pay attention to it, he can walk on the path of a tyrant like Yang Guang, Li Ke can be superior to the princes in all aspects, But some benevolence and righteousness are excessive, lack of ruthlessness, and are not taken by the emperor's successor, both of which have obvious advantages and obvious shortcomings, the eldest son Li Chengqian, has some ruthlessness, benevolence and righteousness are average, but there is a big difference in talent, and he can't see the general trend and the essence of things, which is easy to make him listen to and believe partially, and he is full of tricks, and is swayed by others, and the three sons who are close to adulthood are not the most ideal monarch heirs in Li Er's heart.

"Erchen is going too." Li Ke still did not disobey Li Er's order in the end, and it was difficult for him to face the scene of Cheng Chumo being in a deep predicament, and he could not save himself when he saw death, Li Tai also followed, or under the pretense of learning to steal the teacher, Li Ke, who was bent on handing over this skill, was naturally not unwilling, and he was smart enough to know that as long as the position of the prince was not his, and mastering these killing methods was his own way of death, so that those who knew, especially the royal family, were more, maybe he would be safer.

The three-day period will soon come, on the dock of Yingji Harbor, you can even faintly see the tall warships of the Tang Army, the battle of Anmiao's side Yanglin didn't know at all, he only knew that the king of Yingji in front of him seemed to be hesitating, and the words of a patrol team didn't seem to be very credible, so he adjusted the assembly place of the fleet on the third day to less than five miles outside the dock of Yingji Harbor, and when the sun rose on the fourth day, if King Yingji didn't appear at the dock with a letter of surrender, then the marines under Yanglin would have landed, Launched an assault on the castle of King Inghi.

In the palace of Yingji Royal City, the slender King Yingji has not eaten and slept well for the past three days, the ancestral foundation has only been three generations to him and is facing the danger of overturning, I don't know when it started, how did his enemy become so strong, the snail-like ornaments have long been torn to pieces by him, this morning he rode a fast horse to the port to watch the fleet of the Tang Army, he no longer doubts that the captured team is bringing back, indeed as they say, taking Yingji City is a matter of hand-to-hand for them, But he handed over his big family business in vain, and there were a few people who were willing, and he couldn't make a decision in the desperate fight and grievances to survive.

"Brother Scorpion, this king's personality seems to be a little indecisive! Shall we help him make a decision? "Xie Feiyu and Scorpion have not returned to the ship since they went ashore with Chachai, and it is the task given to Scorpion by Yanglin to push King Yingji to surrender when necessary, so since entering King Yingji City, Scorpion and Xie Feiyu have infiltrated the Yingji Palace, a place that is not as big as the mansion of a wealthy merchant in Chang'an City.

"You kid is smart, if he doesn't make a decision before dark, let's tie him back, the guards in this palace can't stop me, you just need to take it away." The scorpion-like trip is on the wide mahogany beam of the Yingji Palace, to say that this Yingji Palace is good, that is, the beams and furniture made of mahogany everywhere are considered top-notch, the value of these things in the Tang Dynasty is high, but there are many here, it is said that the rubber trees that the horse master is looking for are also here, a large area, and even to Nanzhao, I am really looking forward to Yanglin can use those things to make some strange things.

The conversation between the two was heard by King Yingji, who was not deaf in his ears, and in a panic, he began to look for the source of the sound in the hall, and even forgot to call out to his own guards, even some of the guards who couldn't solve the problem of King Hongdu's subordinates, how could they be helpless against the two of them! I wanted to be speechless, and the two who shook their heads with a wry smile had to show up in advance, the gentleman on the beam for three days was not easy, although the food that King Yingji didn't eat was the wine that King Yingji didn't drink, but the cat was not comfortable on the beam for a long time!

"Who are you, and why are you in this king's palace?" King Yingji pointed to the two scorpions who suddenly jumped down from the high beam, and their bodies kept retreating.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are the people of the Tang Dynasty who gave the horse, if we want to hurt you, we will do it three days ago, but my master of the horse said that we will give you three days to consider surrendering, and we will wait until the time is up to see your table before deciding whether to kill you or not."

Xie Feiyu This is the threat of the naked red fruit, but it is said that King Yingji's face turned pale for a while, and he could have killed him three days ago? Could it be that these two have been hiding in their palace for three days?

In the middle of this conversation, a team of more than a dozen King Yingji guards had rushed into the palace, and the king's shouts just now had alarmed them, but the scorpion did not take these guards in his eyes, but clasped his hands on his chest and said arrogantly: "Look at the appearance of your guards, even if I am an auxiliary soldier who does not go to the battlefield, it is better than their equipment, and then look at your nondescript palace, even the mansion of a merchant in our Datang is not as good, Dawangcheng, the name is loud, put it in my Datang, It's just a small county town, and 20,000 troops dare to be kings, do you know how many soldiers there are under this Xie Dutong next to me? More than 10,000, a soldier who is more well-equipped than your subordinate generals, and his official position is not ranked in my Datang, just a grass king like you, demoted my Datang, and you are considered to have upgraded your level, what else is there to resist, the master is too lazy to do anything with you, just these two legs, within ten breaths, your guards are still standing, the master is in charge, whether you descend or not, I will not kill you. ”

After the scorpion's cruel words were released, his legs moved like lightning, this move was the mandarin duck chain leg that he recently learned from Ji Wutong, not only the action was fast and chic, but the person who was kicked would also be kicked for a long time because of the heavy force of inertia, which was a ruthless move that the scorpion learned from Ji Wutong, of course, he also had some tricks that Ji Wutong learned, but Xie Feiyu, whose martial arts realm was not as good as the two of them, could only envy and watch him bully people with a handsome and fierce posture.

Sure enough, more than a dozen guards were kicked to the ground by scorpions as if they were blown by a whirlwind, and the whole process was only five or six breaths, not only Xie Feiyu, but even King Yingji was stunned, it turned out that his life was in the hands of others three days ago.

"Xiao, Xiao Wang is willing to surrender to Datang." King Yingji stammered out this sentence when Xie Feiyu's big hand pressed on his shoulder, and immediately the scorpion and Xie Feiyu laughed, laughing extremely presumptuously. (To be continued......)
