460. Is the city of Champa ruined?
When Shi Lihe arrived outside the east gate, Bao Bao Bald Flower was already waiting here.
There were dozens of feet apart, and the two looked at each other.
The sword and sword shadow in his eyes were eager to stab the other party in a hole.
In order to prevent the two rivals from really fighting, Cao Lie kept the two armies farther apart.
With the East Gate Road as the central axis, the 2,000 people who kept the bald flowers lined up on the south side, and the 1,800 people who released the bald flowers lined up on the north side.
The two sides are already hostile, and they are both elites, and after the formation, they are murderous, and it looks like the two armies are facing each other.
If it weren't for the cavalry of the Song army patrolling back and forth in front of the two formations, it would have been possible to start a fight.
In fact, Bao Bao Bald Flower has been beating the drum in his heart, secretly praying that Shi Lihe pear will not go crazy.
Don't look at the number of people on his side is more than two hundred, but Shi Li Hanli has three hundred cavalry, and his combat power is much higher.
Bao Bao Bald only regretted not bringing all the three thousand guards, even if he didn't fight, he could earn some momentum back.
And at this moment, Shi Li Hali has no interest in doing anything to Bao Bao Bald Flower.
Because he understands very well that the person who can decide the future of Zhancheng from now on is the Great Song Yan King.
If you can't get the support of King Yan, then what's the use of killing Bao Bao Bald Flower.
For the arrival of King Yan, Shi Li Hali's mentality has changed from initial resistance to expectation, and even a little eager.
In his mind, the letter he had swayed from Qian Long should have been delivered to King Yan.
With Qian Long's guarantee, King Yan should choose to stand on his side.
And Bao Bald not only failed to protect the mission, but even carried the suspicion of the murderer, most likely to be questioned.
In anticipation, Shi Li Hali kept looking to the east, looking forward to it.
But I waited left and right, and I waited for most of the hour and didn't see any movement.
I asked Cao Lie several times, but I only got a few words of patience.
It's just past noon, and the sun isn't scorching, but it's unbearable to be basking all the time.
The cavalry of the Song army could still take turns to rest in the woods, but Shi Lihe Li and Bao Bao Bald could only lead their respective armies to suffer under the scorching sun.
After waiting for nearly an hour, there was finally movement in the east, and the movement was not small.
The flags are like clouds, the light of the armor reflects the sun, and countless marching phalanxes, one after another, slowly approached with sonorous steps.
Shi Lihali was dizzy, her heart trembled, her body trembled, and she almost fell off her horse.
Originally, I thought that no matter how out of line King Yan was, he would come to the vassal country recklessly, and at most bring a few thousand soldiers and horses as an escort, claiming that leading an army of 50,000 was just to scare people.
But the current situation must at least be more than 10,000 people to have such a scale.
How dare King Yan?
How dare he run around with tens of thousands of troops?
Could it be that no one in the huge Song Dynasty can control him?
Even if you want to conquer a country that is not a subordinate, you have to get the permission of the Emperor and the court of the Great Song Dynasty.
But it's only a dozen days, and it's not enough to contact Lin'an.
According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, even the emperor can't do what he wants, how can he produce such a willful crown prince?
On the other side, the bald flowers are shocked.
After getting closer, I felt that with the military might of the Song army, it was estimated that it would take less than 10,000 people to wipe out the current Buddha Oath City.
Immediately, Bao Bald left the protection of two thousand personal guards, and only took these ten or so relatives with him, and eagerly greeted him in the direction of the army.
Coincidentally, Shi Liheli also turned over and dismounted, took Pu Chongmo with him, and greeted seven or eight guards, and hurried to greet him.
However, to their disappointment, King Yan did not arrive, and it was two other Song Dynasty generals who led the army.
"These two are His Royal Highness's confidants and favorite generals, Xue Jin is in control, Zhang Shijie is in charge, and each leads His Highness's pro-army and a brigade......
Cao Lie introduced to Shi Lihe pear and Bao Bao Bald Flower
After a pause, he smiled at Xue Zhang and the others, "These two people in front of you are both ministers who occupy the city, and when I first arrived, the two sides were fighting to the death." c0
"Civil War?" Xue Jin didn't seem to know about the situation of the city, and he didn't smile, "They started fighting by themselves, so wouldn't there be no place for us?"
Zhang Shijie also lowered his face and said very unhappily, "Let's mobilize the people to come here, we can't come in vain, right? Regardless of whether they have a civil war or not, it is a fact that they occupy the city and do not submit to it, and they must be taught a lesson!"
"That's right, this city has not paid tribute for nearly a hundred years, and our Great Song Dynasty didn't have time to take care of it before, and we didn't bother to care, but I didn't expect this small country to become more and more rampant, and dare to rob my merchant ships and harm my mission, and the injustice is not enough to stop him!"
Xue Jin glanced at Shi Li Heli and Bao Bao Bald Flower, as if he was looking at two corpses.
Then Zhang Shijie climbed Xue Jin's shoulders and smiled as if he wanted to borrow money.
"Lao Xue, let's discuss, wait for your brigade to rest for a while, let me attack the city, just give an hour, if I don't fight it by the time, let you go again, what do you think?"
"Not good!" Xue Jin shrugged his shoulders and shook Zhang Shijie's palm, "You are really good at calculating, it will be dark in an hour, I still have a fart, let me come first, it won't take an hour to break the city!"
Seeing that the general of the Song army didn't even look at himself, he was already very embarrassed to protect the bald flowers and the release of Lihe pear.
It is too insulting to compete for their own city in front of them, as if the capital of a country is within their reach.
The most important thing is that looking at their eagerness to try, this is probably not bragging, but they really have such strength.
So the somewhat panicked Bao Bao Bald hurriedly spoke, "Generals, listen to what the foreign ministers say, I occupy the city and have no intention of not being subordinate to the kingdom, there are many misunderstandings here, and it is not worth fighting, and please allow the foreign ministers to face His Royal Highness King Chen Yan, whether His Royal Highness wants to be beaten or punished at that time, I am willing to bear the city."
Shi Lihali also said sincerely, "Occupy the city in the Great Song Dynasty, the children of Judah are in the parents, the children may make mistakes, the parents should also be based on teaching, and it is difficult to convince the public if they do not teach, presumably with the benevolence of His Royal Highness King Yan, he should not want to misunderstand other vassal states."
Cao Lie said disdainfully, "Hehe, you two know how to talk very well, but when Your Highness wanted to talk to you before, you turned a deaf ear, and you had to come to the city to be afraid, so you thought of reasoning with Your Highness?" Bow to the front, villain!"
Zhang Shijie sneered, "That's it, don't think of clever words to escape responsibility!"
Xue Jin squinted his eyes, and his tone was impatient, "Why are you talking so much nonsense, I think it's better to take the Buddha Oath City as soon as possible, otherwise you can't let His Highness stay in the wilderness."
Shi Li Heli looked at the words of a few Song generals, and seemed to be determined to capture the Buddha Oath City, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed in his heart, could he have guessed the wrong mind of King Yan?
King Yan not only wanted to take advantage of the defeat of both sides in the civil war of Zhancheng, but also to capture the Buddha Oath City by force.
And he also deceived himself and Bao Bald Flower in advance.
This Yan King's methods are too insidious and despicable, right?
Aren't the Central Plains people the best face?
Isn't King Yan afraid of making his reputation stinky?
Even if it is an upright attack, with the current situation of the Buddha Oath City, the remnants of the army will break through the city, and I am afraid that even the Song army will not be able to stop an offensive.
There's no need to use such a criticizing trick in this way.
If King Yan is really so unscrupulous, the goal will definitely not be just a Buddha oath city, but the entire city.
But what else can the city of Champa use to resist now?
Could it be that the city of Zhancheng will be destroyed?
Shi Lihali's heart turned a thousand times, and he was speechless due to emotional agitation.
Bao Bald is not as thoughtful as him, and only thinks about trying to remedy the current predicament.
"The foreign minister has ordered someone to clean the palace and wait for His Highness at all times, and the foreign minister will now ask someone to open the city gate, and the generals will send troops into the city to receive the defense, as a way to express the courtier's respect, but... There is still a part of the city that is not under the control of the foreign ministers......
Keeping off the bald flowers is out of the way
, anyway, it can't be held in the first place, so it's better to simply sell it to Song Jun.
This behavior surprised Xue Jin and the others, and they didn't know how to continue to threaten.
And Shi Lihe pear even looked at the bald flower differently, this dog thief, can he be a little more shameless!?
Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said, "If His Highness is willing to enter the city, the foreign ministers will naturally withdraw all the troops!"
I didn't expect the two of them to be so intimidated, lying flat unexpectedly, Zhang Shijie was a little numb.
"Uh... Since you have the heart of this fist, then it is better to wait for His Highness to arrive, and I guess that in a quarter of an hour, His Highness will come."
Hearing this, the two wrongdoers of Shi Lihe Pear and Bao Bao Bald Flower breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
It's just that they didn't expect that at this time, the Buddha Oath City had begun to break away from the control of the two of them, and they couldn't call the shots.
