Chapter Ninety-Five: My Life Is Over
The old handsome Li Jing looked at the team of Tang envoys in front of him, puzzled, and a little worried at the same time, this stall Chang'an should be fighting to the death, how can he still send envoys? Could it be that the battle was won? It's impossible, it's not easy for 10,000 people to hold Chang'an, and you can still win a big victory? I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the city at all. Since this is the case, there is only one reason, Tang Jian, the Qing of Honglu Temple, was defeated and sued for peace.
Thinking of this, Li Jing's heart suddenly changed, and the secret way was not good.
At this time, Li Ji leaned closer and muttered in a low voice: "Pharmacist, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, what should we do for now?" ”
Li Jing was silent for a moment, thought of a crazy solution, gritted his teeth and said: "Mao Gong, I have a bold idea, maybe I can save the dead chess!" ”
Li Ji: "You mean ......?"
They looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Needless to say, if Chang'an is broken, the 100,000 army is a capital crime, the death and life of the puppet are small, as soon as Chang'an is broken, His Majesty and all the officials will suffer, and the Tang Dynasty will fall soon, and the 100,000 army will become homeless wanderers in an instant, so life and death are already trivial matters.
Therefore, at this time, Li Jing's idea is to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, desperately stop, if he can catch Jieli and exchange it for His Majesty, then the dead chess will be alive. Even if His Majesty suffers an accident and disperses the main Turkic forces, he can rebuild the Tang Dynasty.
Just when the Tang army gathered to discuss countermeasures, the Turkic side Jieli boldly walked out, stood beside Tang Jian, pointed at Li Jing and shouted: "Listen to the commander of the Tang Dynasty, your Chang'an has been broken by the 40,000 army of my Zuoxian King, and the envoys sent by your Majesty to seek peace are here, why don't you quickly dismount and beg to surrender?" Ben Khan can spare your life, otherwise when I stabilize the situation, I will definitely leave you chickens and dogs behind! ”
Well? Tang Jian was stunned beside him, what was the situation?
Well? The Tang sergeant was stunned, how could this be?
Li Jing and Li Ji had bitter faces, and said in their hearts that they couldn't hide it, and they had a good trick to punish their hearts.
The adjutant of the envoy said to Tang Jian in a low voice: "Tang Gong, look at this situation, Marshal Li Jing is taking advantage of the victory to pursue Jieli, and our Tang army has the upper hand, it seems that we are not at the right time, do we want to continue this peace discussion?" ”
Tang Jian turned his head with a bitter face and whispered, "My life is at stake!" Don't you see that? There were 100,000 troops in front and behind, and there was a misunderstanding, and if we were not careful, our team would be all over. ”
"No, Tang Gong, our people have the upper hand! Marshal Li Jing will save us. The adjutant reminded.
"Li Jing? Our appearance interrupted his pursuit of victory and gave the Turks a chance to breathe, and Li Jing was afraid that he would hate us to death. ”
When the two were muttering, Li Jing stood up, pointed at Jieli and shouted: "Jieli, you don't bluff, no one can save you today, I'm the Tang Dynasty Chang'an Chengjian, don't say that you have only 40,000 cavalry, even 400,000, I can't help it!" Find an anonymous little envoy pretending to be an envoy? Still trying to fool my army? Generals, who will take the false envoy from me! ”
What?
Tang Jian and the others looked confused, and the adjutant was about to cry in fright, "Tang Gong, why doesn't Li Dashuai know you?" You are Honglu Siqing, the Duke of Ju Guo of the Tang Dynasty! ”
……
Tang Jian is also secretly scolding, Li Jing is so ruthless, in order to win, he even cares about my life? I don't have a grudge against you.
Seeing that someone had already stood up to ask for battle, Tang Jian was in a hurry, and immediately sent someone to report a box, personally opened it and took out the contents inside, raised it in his hand and shouted: "The head of the Turkic Zuoxian King is here, and the Tang Dynasty is victorious!" The old husband Honglu Temple Qing Tang Jian, came here by the emperor's order! ”
What???
At this moment, everyone was stunned, and the biggest reaction was Jieli, who was closest to Tang Jian, he just looked at the head of King Zuo Xian in such a daze, full of impossibility.
After a while, when he came back to his senses, Jieli shouted: "Kill my beloved general, I can't wait with you, suffer death!" ”
After shouting, he drew his knife and killed Tang Jian, Tang Jian only had two hundred guards, and his skills were average, but he was not the opponent of Jieli's personal guards.
But after all, Tang Jian came from troubled times, and he drew his sword and slashed like he was in chaos.
Seeing that Tang Jian was outnumbered and about to die, when he was under the knife, a spear flew to block the killing blow, "Don't panic, don't panic, Qin Qiong is here!" Jieli, take your life! ”
What? When I looked up, it was Qin Qiong, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, and Jieli didn't care about revenge, so he turned around and fled.
So, at the moment when the battle situation resumes again, the Turks cannot escape, and the Tang soldiers and horses chase after them. Only this time, the Tang soldiers and horses did not chase endlessly, but only pursued for twenty miles and stopped.
Why? Previously, it was a Ouroboros chase aimed at draining the enemy's vital strength, and he must not be allowed to take a breath to rest.
This time it doesn't work, everyone is sleepy and lacking horses, with this halfway rest, both sides are powerless, but after all, the Turks are all on horseback, and most of the Tang soldiers and horses are on foot, and after they are vented in one breath, they are powerless to chase anymore.
Jieli did not flee far, camped fifty miles away from Li Jing's army, which was not close to Chang'an, and at the same time kept a safe distance from Li Jing, which was conducive to escape.
In Li Jing's big tent in the army, everyone was beaming, Tang Jian was really dangerous this time, and he almost died, because Li Jing's previous words, Tang Jian didn't have a good face for him, if Li Ji hadn't made peace from it, I was afraid that Tang Jian would have turned around and left.
"Ju Guogong, it was my idea before, I misled the marshal, thinking that His Majesty was in trouble, and I wanted to capture Jieli in exchange for prisoners to protect the Tang Dynasty, so don't blame the pharmacist." Li Ji apologized.
Old Li Jing stood up and snorted coldly: "Mao Gong, is the old man a person who shrinks his head in battle?" Tang Jian, to tell you, it's all the old man's method, the misunderstanding is indeed a misunderstanding, but the old man won't apologize to you. Because of your sudden appearance, interrupted our pursuit of victory, if not, Jieli is a lost dog, we must have captured him and won a complete victory, not killing you is already merciful. ”
You...... Tang Jian was so angry that he couldn't speak.
After a while, he took out the edict, "Your Majesty decrees, we negotiate peace with the Turks, and we will slowly plan for the revenge of this war, and we will repay it in the coming day!" ”
What???
How so? We have won a great victory, so how can it be a peace? There was chaos in the tent immediately.
Li Ji held down everyone and explained: "There have been more than ten times of war along the way, our original 100,000 people, now only 70,000, and the Turks still have the main force of 100,000. You must know that around our Datang Dynasty, there is not only one enemy of the Turks. ”
Tang Jian nodded appreciatively, "What Duke Mao said is all in the truth, and His Majesty is thinking about it like this. ”
Saying this, most people quieted down, and the few who were not angry only regretted that they did not kill Jieli.
Old Li Jing opened his mouth and asked, "How did Chang'an City be kept?" That Turkic Zuoxian King is known as a Turkic wise general, we are a disadvantage, how can we still win by killing generals? ”
Hearing this, Tang Jian smiled, "This matter, not only are you strange, but even King Zuo Xian feels wronged when he is underground at this time, because we not only defended Chang'an City, but even his 40,000 troops have captured prisoners without missing a single one." ”
"It can't be!"
…… No one believed this result, everyone looked at Tang Jian with strange eyes, and said in their hearts that this old man is telling a story, right?
