Chapter 212: The Verge

Li Yuan coughed slightly and said, "It's okay, it's just that I don't know anything under my hands." Xie Dutong, I have to correct you, the so-called soldiers of the Great Han Kingdom under your command were all my Tang people in the past, but the imperial dynasty suffered a disaster fifty years ago, and had to rebel for a while. As for whether it's elite or not, you have to try it. Based on last night's performance, it doesn't seem to be as good as you boasted. ”

Xie Gui shook his head disdainfully and said, "Rebellious? Li Yuan, the dynasty surnamed Li in your mouth has been dead for many years! Heaven is a good reincarnation, in the past, Li Tang favored the traitorous eunuchs and made the heavens angry and resentful, and the Central Plains did not know how many times the dynasty had changed! Do you dare to call the Tang Dynasty a small country? Young man, take a long-term view, you should follow the will of heaven, it is not a wise move to serve the pseudo-Tang after all. ”

Li Yuan smiled and said, "It turns out that after talking for a long time, you are here to persuade me to surrender." ”

Xie Gui nodded and said: "Bendu Tong saw that you were young and talented, and he loved your talents, so he told you some sincere words." My Han Emperor Zuo held the tail of Luan, swept the South Mountain at night, and now sits on the fertile soil of Lingnan for thousands of miles, which is really like the sun in the sky, and the world is also the master! If you wish to surrender, you will be introduced to your majesty in person!

In time, you will be valued by Your Majesty, and in the future, you will be in the picture, and you will be famous in history, wouldn't it be happier than doing a small festival in this pseudo-Tang Dynasty? ”

(Note: Tang Lihe's "Immortals": On the stone wall of playing the piano, an immortal is overturned.) Holding the white luan tail, sweeping the clouds of the South Mountain at night. The deer drink under the cold stream, and the fish return to the seashore. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the book and newspaper Peach Blossom Spring)

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Do you want to leave a name in history?" Are you sure it's not a stench for 10,000 years? I am not uncommon for the lord of your country to be valued. Holding a luan tail in his hand, sweeping Nanshan at night, the fishermen dare to compare with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? Dare to pretend to be a descendant of the emperor and Han thousands of years ago? It's a big joke, and you don't pee on yourself!

My Majesty is the eighth son of Tang Xianzong, after the founding king Li Ke, by the mandate of heaven, ascended to the great treasure, although now he is in Jianghuai, but he has the ......world in his heart."

Xie Gui suddenly had murderous intent on his face, and scolded loudly: "Presumptuous! Li Yuan, Bendu advises you, it's best to think twice, don't be stubborn and hurt yourself, it's too late for him to regret it in the future! ”

Li Yuan smiled and said: "The first time I saw that the persuasion was so sincere, then I will also give you Xie Du a unified face, so I will seriously consider it!" Well...... It's better to be like this, I don't obey the lord of your family, but I obey you and thank you. If you Xie Gui Xie Dutong ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, you can consider following you in the future. ”

This kind of usurpation and disrespectful words, Xie Gui was immediately startled, how dare he answer indiscriminately? Hurriedly said angrily: "Vertical Zi'an dares to slander me? Bendu is loyal to the Lord, how dare he have different intentions? ”

Li Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "Oh, since you don't have this heart, forget it, I really don't look down on your lord, one day you Xie Du will raise troops and work alone, let's discuss this matter again." ”

Xie Gui was speechless, his face began to twitch subtly, and what others didn't expect was that Li Yuan's seemingly joking words actually poked at the secret of the Lingnan native's heart. Tracing back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, as a branch of the Xie family, Xie Gui's ancestors moved to Lianzhou, Lingnan, with their families, to live, which has been more than 600 years old and has long taken root here.

It was not until the second year of Tang Tianyou (905 AD) that Liu Yin officially served as the envoy of the Qinghai Festival, and suppressed various Lingnan clans including the Xie clan in a bloody way, that he was able to entrench himself here and claim the title of emperor, but now it is only forty-seven years.

Xie Gui, who regarded himself as a Lingnan family and had long been dissatisfied, was now the leader of the Xie family, and he had long been secretly dissatisfied, not to mention that the monarchs of the Han Kingdom were more moody and cruel and murderous, even though Xie Gui had made countless meritorious contributions in the army for many years, his heart had to be tense all the time.

Therefore, when he dreamed back at midnight, some secret thoughts always echoed in Xie Gui's mind, and today he was suddenly ordered by Li Yuan in the court, and his expression was very flustered.

However, he quickly calmed down, frowned, and said: "Li Yuan, don't say these useless words, Ben Dutong will last advise you, good birds choose trees to perch, and those who know the times are handsome, don't make any mistakes." Once Pontus gives the order to attack, if you want to surrender again, I'm afraid you won't have a chance. ”

Li Yuan laughed softly: "Hehe, Xie Dutong, don't brag." What do you attack? With the flesh and blood of your soldiers? There are millions of crossbows in Bendu, and they are all prepared for you. Again, the number of people does not determine the outcome of the game. ”

Xie Gui sneered: "Pondu Tong is also dizzy, it seems that he overestimated you, a hairy boy!" Do you know that Pontus is under the command of the famous giant elephant army of the Great Han, that-"

"You know, aren't you just some brutes?" Li Yuan interrupted as if he didn't care.

Then he squinted his eyes and probed the dazzling light in the sky, yawned and said: "Xie Dutong, let's not fight here, I thought you were going to fight to the death, but now it seems that you are just here to play tricks." I set fire to your camp last night and made a lot of noise, and now I am still a little sleepy, I believe you haven't slept well.

Whether you fight or not, if you don't, we'll break up. I want to go back and catch up on sleep. ”

Xie Gui was so angry that he was about to speak, but Li Yuan on the opposite side waved his hand and led the people, and slowly returned to the formation all the way. Xie Gui was helpless for a while, so he had to turn his horse back, eager to immediately order an attack, catch this lazy boy and rectify it well, but finally reason overcame impulse. At present, he and his more than 100 sergeants are only a hundred steps away from the enemy, so it is better to endure it for the time being.

The commanders of the two sides returned to their respective positions, and the generals and soldiers at the end of the Wuping army had already heard it clearly, and Li Yuan, the governor of his own capital, was obviously better at fighting the mouth cannon, while the soldiers of the Han army did not know the details, but when they saw Xie Gui's face full of gloom, they immediately knew that the war was about to break out.

As the long horn sounded in the front line of the Han army, Xie Gui took the lead in launching the signal to attack. But I saw that the soldiers of the 5,000 former army began to move forward slowly, gradually forming an orderly phalanx, with neat footsteps and the sound of stomping on the ground.

What made all the officers and soldiers of the Wuping Army look at each other was that the way Xie Gui, the commander of the Han army, arranged his troops and arranged his troops was obviously completely different from the enemies he had encountered in the past. It does have its own uniqueness, but its subtlety is unknown at the moment.

The military array in front of him was changing, Xie Gui showed a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and then waved his hand slightly, and the crossbowmen located at the rear of the army formation rushed forward in a straggler formation, but they seemed to be using the neat rows of bodies in front of them to cover up, deliberately keeping a distance from the front army, while the five thousand front troops were one and the same, and even the offensive formation had to be kept neat.

"Da Da Da" rows of soldiers neatly walked hundreds of steps away to approach the Wuping military formation, compared to the swarm of Mengchong, this kind of calm phalanx march seems to have more oppressive force and shocking force, the opposite Wuping sergeant is holding his breath and concentrating, and his expression is serious.

"Archer prepare!" Li Yuan raised his hand and shouted.
