Chapter 312: Annan's Arrogance!
A few more days later.
When Hu Jichen led the Annan army and arrived at the Shiqiu River, he saw that the Ming army was still building ships, and he couldn't help but sneer.
Especially after seeing the Annan Navy crossing the river, Hu Jichen looked even more complacent.
In order to hit the morale of the Ming army, Hu Jichen's dark thoughts suddenly came to his heart, and he decided to ridicule the commander of the Ming army in front of everyone, and by the way, increase the morale of the Annan army.
Thinking of this, Hu Jichen arranged to Chen Zheping, the king of Annan on the side:
"Your Majesty, the next thing I need you to do is to personally repair a letter to the commander of the Ming Dynasty, and tell the commander of the Ming army that negotiations between the two countries will be held on the river early tomorrow morning, and they must be present."
Negotiation?
After hearing this, Chen Zheping was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion:
"It's... How is the Prime Minister prepared to negotiate? ”
Chen Zheping couldn't help but think in his heart:
Ready to negotiate before you fight? Could it be that this old man has some other bad intentions?
Who knew that Hu Jichen smiled very arrogantly:
"The so-called negotiation is just a beginning, and I will arrange for the soldiers to mock this group of Ming people tomorrow."
"Humph! It can also boost the morale of our army! ”
"Now that the Ming army has been blocked by us in the city's Qiu River, we have won the victory, take this opportunity, I have to scold these Ming people."
Chen Zheping shook his head after hearing this, with a look of embarrassment:
"At this time, it is the time when the two countries are facing each other in terms of strength, and we should not provoke the Ming army, so as not to cause them to jump over the wall, and in the end, we will lose more than we gain."
"Fart!"
Hu Jichen squinted his eyes and whispered to Chen Zheping:
"At this moment, where do you need to consider the thoughts of the Ming people, we have 150,000 troops in our hands, this is the confidence, the king must not grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige."
Hu Jichen seemed to have forgotten the courtesy of the monarch and minister, and his words were full of threat:
"If the king does not write now, I am afraid that in the end the king will have to write, and then ,... Hum! ”
In the end, Hu Jichen's voice was even more ruthless, Chen Zheping looked frightened, his face was timid, but he was resentful in his heart, but now he had no choice but to do what Hu Jichen told him.
After Chen Zheping personally wrote the war letter, Hu Jichen asked the envoy to go to the Ming military camp to deliver the message.
The envoy crossed the river by boat and came to the place where the Ming military camp was.
As soon as he stepped into the barracks and saw the scene in front of him, the envoy of Annan was suddenly a little stunned and a little incredulous.
I saw that the teams of Ming troops in front of them had lost their previous spirit, and they all looked listless at this time.
What's more, the whole person looked sick, not like a normal soldier, but like a sick seedling, his face was depressed, and his eyes were gray and lackluster.
There were felled trees everywhere, all around, axes thrown everywhere, trees, tools, but no one started building a ship.
Lying down, sitting and sitting, where is this like a military camp, it is simply a fight with the refugee slum, the envoy can't help but sneer in his heart, just the waste state of this group of people, I still want to fight with Annan, do your spring and autumn dreams!
With a look of arrogance on his face, the envoy continued to move forward step by step, and after half an hour, the envoy finally arrived at the main tent of the barracks.
As soon as he entered the tent, the envoy casually glanced at Li Jin, who was on the top, with his head raised and his chest straight, and he did not salute, his expression looked very arrogant, as if he looked down on Li Jin.
Seeing the envoy's attitude, Fu Youde on the side immediately turned angry, and got up to clean up this arrogant and rude guy, but was stopped by Li Jinzhi with his hand raised.
Looking at the straight messenger standing with his hands behind his back in front of him, Li Jin sneered, and then asked in a cold voice:
"Did your king send you to your death?"
Having said that, the envoy did not show the slightest fear on his face, and still replied with an unchanged face:
"Even if I die, you will bury me with you, and I deserve to die."
Li Jin smiled and said:
"It's a big breath, but for the sake of you being the messenger, this official won't kill you."
"Tell me, what did your king tell you to do?"
The messenger made his intentions clear:
"Our king wants to see you tomorrow and advise you to quit, I don't know if you dare to see you?"
Hearing this, Li Jin showed a surprised expression, as if he was very puzzled and asked:
"I didn't expect your king to have such courage?"
"Isn't your king afraid of death? I have 100,000 soldiers, as long as I fight the city, I will wipe out your Annan. ”
"At this time, why don't you hurry up and kneel down and ask for surrender?"
Regarding Li Jin's self-confidence, the envoy was very disdainful:
"Even if you have an army of 100,000, what does it matter, but it is just a rabble, and our prime minister and the king personally command an army of 150,000 to march in person, what can you do?"
"Wait until tomorrow, when you see the military strength of our army, I am afraid that you will be so frightened that you will never dare to speak wildly again."
"If I were you, I would sneak away with my tail between my legs today, or when my army crosses the river, it will be your death!"
Li Jin didn't speak, but Fu Youde, who was on the side, instantly shouted angrily:
"Presumptuous, the shaft is so big."
"Your grandfather, I'll wait here to see if you grandsons dare to lead the army across the river!"
"A group of clowns who jump off the beam, and they still want to be presumptuous in front of the Ming army, they really don't know whether to live or die!"
The envoy's face was extremely ugly when he was scolded by these words, but he still sneered with a hard mouth:
"Hmph, your soldiers are already sick, about to be infected with the plague, and they are dying, and you are still daydreaming here?"
"I advise you to wake up quickly, I don't know if it's not me who is alive or dead, but you."
"You're looking for !! death"
While yelling, Fu Youde was about to cut down the messenger as soon as he pulled out the weapon on his waist, but Li Jin suddenly stopped him:
"Wait!"
After waving his hand slightly towards Fu Youde, Li Jin said coldly to the envoy:
"Don't talk nonsense, you take your little life, hurry back and tell your king, see you by the river tomorrow!!"
...
The next day, the city ball on the river.
Chen Zheping and Hu Jichen, the kings of Annan, led the 150,000 troops of Annan to line up on the riverside.
I have to say that for today's battle, Hu Jichen really arranged it very well, at least in terms of momentum, even Li Jin's side can't compare.
Li Jin only brought dozens of people to the riverside, the number of people was not only pitiful, but also looked extremely shabby, and the Annan army across the river formed a sharp contrast.
