Chapter 479: Get the Letter
A cold killing intent enveloped the gates of Baekje Palace.
More and more reinforcements arrived, but they were all blocked by the Su I family guards, unable to come forward, no one knew the situation in the palace, but Qin Huaidao also did not know the situation of the army outside, but he had to wait patiently, the captured people of the Tang Dynasty must be rescued, otherwise their conscience will be uneasy, and the soldiers will not be reconciled.
Among the captives may be family members, relatives and friends.
As the minutes passed, the outside of the city became more and more depressing, like a powder keg that could explode at any time.
The sky gradually brightened, and a red sun jumped out of the sky, illuminating the east.
The early morning wind blows with the smell of the sea, which makes people irritating.
Not long after, a large number of captives were escorted over, strung together with ropes, all of them in a state of despair, desperate, and helpless, thinking that they had been brought in as blood sacrifices.
When they walked to the city gate, everyone looked at the corpses of the Japanese kingdom all over the ground and was a little confused.
"Second baby!"
"Brother Tie!"
"Little Liu!"
On the city wall, excited voices shouted.
Qin Huaidao saw that it was his wolf camp soldier, and he saw an acquaintance, so he hurried to the city wall.
"Your Excellency, please save them." A soldier looked over excitedly.
More soldiers turned their heads to look at Qin Huaidao, and Qin Huaidao nodded solemnly, feeling that it was not in vain.
Luo Ying hurriedly came up and shouted in a low voice: "Don't shout, let the enemy know that we are in such a hurry to save people, I'm afraid we won't let go, and we will fall into passivity, everything has adults, what's the panic?" ”
Everyone realized that it was almost bad and quickly nodded.
Qin Huaidao glanced at Luo Ying with some surprise, this guy is becoming more and more shrewd, and sure enough, he is the most trained person on the battlefield, he smiled with satisfaction, and immediately looked at Su I Ezo who came and shouted: "Where are the silver and letters?" ”
"I've brought them all." Soga Ezo waved his hand.
More than a dozen carriages came behind him, stopping side by side in front of the front, Qin Huaidao estimated that there was silver inside, and shouted: "Let your people retreat a distance, and my people will go down to check and hand over after making sure that they are safe." ”
Su I Ezo has already understood Qin Huaidao's style of acting with a dead hand if he disagrees, there is no objection, anyway, a back hand has been arranged, and no one can run away from the silver, and when the time comes, he will be angry in his heart, and he will retreat with a cold face, and the Su I family guard will also slowly retreat a distance.
"Luo Ying, take some people down to inspect and prevent the Japanese from mixing in the captives." Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Ying.
Luo Ying nodded solemnly and shouted, "Come a few people." ”
The soldiers who shouted their names just now rushed up without hesitation, Luo Ying didn't object, he knew a better way, took people down the city wall, walked out of the city gate, and went up to check the carriage first, sure enough, there were boxes of silver, as well as a lot of jewelry, coral, etc., all of which were very valuable.
Luo Ying was not interested in anything other than practicing martial arts, so he told the entourage: "But identify the identity to prevent the enemy from mixing in the crowd, and then count the number of people to see if there are any omissions, and you must bring back a lot of them." ”
"Obey." The crowd solemnly agreed and hurried away.
Luo Ying walked towards Su I Ezo, his face did not change, he was full of guts, and when he got closer, he shouted: "Letter!" ”
"The letter is with me, and it can't be wrong, so I'll hand it over when you hand it over." Soga Ezo was worried about his son's safety and didn't want to hand it over right away.
Luo Ying could also understand, but disagreed, and shouted impatiently: "The letter is a small piece, give it to me first, this means whether you are sincere in exchanging it, otherwise, I have reason to suspect that you have ulterior motives." ”
"What if you don't trade the letter when you get it?" Su I Ezo is afraid of Qin Huaidao's ruthlessness, but he is not afraid of Luo Ying.
"Surrounded by you, are you afraid that we won't be able to run away? Give it or not, don't give it to me. Luo Ying urged a little impatiently.
This is a temptation, and it is also a conspiracy.
In order to save his son, Su I Ezo knew that he had no choice, gritted his teeth and compromised, and handed a letter to a person next to him, who respectfully took it and handed it to Luo Ying.
Luo Ying didn't read the content of the letter, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his excitement, and he was caught by Su I Ezo by Su I, snorted coldly, and came to the vicinity of the captive.
After waiting for a while, a soldier came over and whispered: "Commander, the preliminary statistics count more than 1,300 people, they don't know all of each other, they come from different states, everyone doesn't know who else is not there, they only know that they know everyone else, and they haven't found the enemy mixed in for the time being." ”
"There are quite a few people, go back first." Luo Ying said solemnly, turned around and walked towards the city gate.
The deal is not completed, and it is impossible for Soga Ezo to let the captives leave.
Several soldiers comforted the captives and followed Luo Ying into the city, one by one angry.
Up to the city wall, Luo Ying came to Qin Huaidao, handed over the letter, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, be careful that the letter is poisonous, in addition, there are more than 1,300 people outside, and the enemy has not been found mixed in for the time being, and the amount of silver is about the same, Su I Ezo can't really trade, so you have to be careful." ”
Qin Huaidao nodded, thinking that it was possible to smear poisonous powder on the letter, motioned to escort Su I into the deer, handed the letter over, and said in a cold voice: "Open!" ”
Su I didn't think much about it, opened the envelope, took out two pieces of paper from it and unfolded it, revealing the words on it, Qin Huaidao glanced at ten lines, and what was written in front of him was a compliment, saying something that he had admired for a long time, and so on.
As for Haizhou, Chuzhou, and Yizhou, the Li family transferred the government soldiers on the pretext of disaster relief to facilitate the piracy looting, which was considered a hardship fee, and it also provided clues and convenience for the pirates to rob part of the imperial court's disaster relief food, which was considered sincerity.
The signature and seal of Li Shangxiong are on the sign.
In other words, this is a handwritten letter from Li Shangxiong, worried that Soga Ezo will not agree to form an alliance, so he wrote it himself, releasing goodwill and sincerity while giving Soga Ezo a handle.
With this letter in hand, Su I Ezo can take control of the Zhao County Li clan at any time, and naturally agree to form an alliance.
Of course, Li Shangxiong is not stupid and gives the handle to others, but has to do it, otherwise it is impossible for Su and I to form an alliance, and after the matter is completed, Li Shangxiong has a way to clean up the Japanese state.
Use each other and take what you need!
Qin Huaidao motioned for Su I to go back into the deer, put it away closely, and said to Yu Chi Baolin, who came back from copying the palace treasury: "The letter has been obtained, it is the same as we guessed, and then we are ready to do it, your people are fine, right?" ”
"No problem, the brothers haven't killed enough, and the morale is high." Yu Chi Baolin said solemnly.
"No deals?" Luo Ying asked in surprise.
"Can't really trade, once Su I go back, Su I Ezo will definitely have no scruples, lead the troops to kill in, as long as we die, he will be a great hero of the Wa Kingdom, and then kill the emperor, and say to the outside world that he will be martyred in battle, and the scenery will be buried to buy people's hearts, and he will be able to sit firmly in the position of the emperor." Qin Huaidao said and looked at Emperor Shu Ming.
Luo Ying's face changed: "That bastard is not simple, Brother Shanbei can still keep his sanity even after he dies, he is a ruthless character, and he can really do it, what should we do?" There were more than 1,300 captives outside, and they couldn't help but save them. ”
"For the sake of them, they have been delayed until now, and it is impossible to give up when they come to this point, and they are ready to break through, Baolin."
Yu Chi Baolin's expression was grim, and he solemnly clenched his fists.
"Arrange for more than 100 people to carry weapons, rush to the captives as soon as they go out, cut the ropes that bind them, distribute weapons to everyone, arm them, and escort them with them." Qin Huaidao admonished.
"Understood, let the deputy commander personally bring a hundred people, no problem." Yu Chi Baolin agreed.
"Arrange for another hundred wounded brothers to be in charge of driving the carriage, and take away as much as possible from the palace and outside, and those who drive the carriage do not have to fight, the wounded soldiers are fine, and the dead and seriously wounded in battle are also placed on the carriage, and they are not allowed to drop a single step, even if they die, they must be buried back in their homeland."
"Obey!" Yu Chi Baolin replied solemnly.
When many soldiers around him heard this arrangement, they were all excited, and their morale soared.
Death is not terrible, it has been predetermined before coming, but no one wants to die in another country, let alone be abandoned.
Qin Huaidao's arrangement spread quickly, and the army's heart was settled.
Yu Chi Baolin was already accustomed to Qin Huaidao's style of acting, the first battle of Goguryeo, the chaos in the north, did not abandon the soldiers once, did not think much about it, estimated it in his heart, and added: "Protect a hundred prisoners, drive a hundred carriages, plus the two hundred people left on the sea boat, there are still five or six hundred people left in the tiger camp, how to fight next?" ”
