Chapter 1017: Arrogance
The gate of the city was opened, and the king of the southwest took Yan Dusk and Tuoba Siqi, two prisoners, with good wine and meat, and passed towards the military camp not far away.
When they came to the barracks, they were stopped by the soldiers of the guard.
"Wait a minute, our men have already gone to report to the boss."
The king of the southwest glanced at the mountains of corpses of the people in front of the camp, then at the young people tied to the wooden frames, and finally at Sikong Qingyun.
For two or three days he had not eaten or water, and he drooped his head and did not move, not knowing if he was still alive. In the end, it was his nephew, and the king of the southwest was really distressed, so he walked over there.
"Qingyun?" He patted Sikong Qingyun on the shoulder.
After calling several times, Sikong Qingyun reacted and raised his head with difficulty. When he saw the king of the southwest, his eyes immediately showed excitement.
"Second Uncle...... Help me......"
The king of the southwest hurriedly took out the water bladder and fed Sikong Qingyun to drink water, but just after taking a sip, a sharp arrow shot over and shot through the water bladder. The king of the southwest didn't have time to be shocked, so he hurriedly stood upside down, and let Sikong Qingyun take a few sips before the water leaked.
"Don't worry, the second uncle will definitely save you."
Whispering, the king of the southwest turned around and walked over, walked to the front of the barracks, and looked up at the king of Liang, who was crossing his waist with a proud face.
"King Liang, what do you mean by this?" He asked in a deep voice.
King Liang snorted, "It doesn't mean anything, it's just that this king agreed to give him water to drink?" ”
"I have already sent Yan Du and Tuoba Siqi, according to the agreement, King Liang should let them go."
King Liang tilted his head and glanced at Yan Du and Tuoba Siqi, and then raised his eyebrows, "Just the two of them?" ”
"What if not?"
"They were rescued by your daughter."
"What do you mean?"
"Prison robbery is a big crime, you can't ignore it just because she's the daughter of your southwest king, right?"
The King of the Southwest narrowed his eyes, "Mingyue is indeed at fault, I have already taught her a lesson." ”
"Bring her to you, and the sin will be with them."
"Impossible!"
"King of the Southwest!" King Liang snorted, "This king didn't ask you if you agreed, but ordered you to hand over Sikong Mingyue." ”
The King of the Southwest lowered his head, was silent for a long time, and then raised his hand and bowed to King Liang, "King Liang, please be gracious and let my daughter go, I only have this one daughter." ”
The humble attitude of the king of the southwest pleased the king of Liang, and he laughed loudly.
"This wine and meat is our southwest honor you and these soldiers, we don't want you to hand over the people who killed our people, we just ask you to spare the sons of these tribes, let my daughter go. This battle cannot be fought, once it is fought, our southwest will be ruined, please be merciful. ”
The king of the southwest bent down to make amends, put down his dignity, and was as humble as an ant.
Listening to these words, Tuoba Siheng was even more proud.
"We Xianbei people have always treated your twelve tribes preferentially and allowed you to live in the southwest, but you must know that this land is our Xianbei people, and if we want to take it back, you will have to leave in a hurry."
"But we have lived in this land for generations......"
"You are just the bedbugs of this land, we are the masters!"
“……”
Seeing that the king of the southwest lowered his head and did not dare to refute, Tuoba Siheng smiled contemptuously: "The imperial court means that you can continue to live here, but you must move to the southwest plateau and return the plains to us in the north." ”
"I, I'll go back and consult with the chiefs of the tribes before I give you an answer." The King of the Southwest whispered.
"This is an order, and you can only obey and carry it out. Also, hand over Sikong Mingyue, I can be extra generous and let go of these tribal sons. ”
"Yes, thank you King Liang for your grace."
Tuoba Siheng smiled, and asked his subordinates to escort Yan Du and the others back, and bring back the wine and meat.
"King of the Southwest, this king has given you three days, and if you don't give us a satisfactory answer, you should know the consequences."
"Only three days?"
"This king doesn't have a lot of patience."
Seeing that the king of the southwest left with his back bent, Tuoba Siheng scolded: cowardice.
"Your Highness, this meat can be stewed tonight, but this wine?" A soldier took a sip of water and asked.
Tuoba Siheng lifted a jar, opened the lid and smelled it, and the aroma of wine overflowed. He is also a little greedy, but he has some brains, and he is afraid that the other party will poison it.
He thought about it and pushed it to the subordinate next to him.
"This king will reward you with a few sips."
"You can't drink alcohol in the barracks, it's ......" The subordinate hesitated.
Tuoba Siheng was stunned, "This king is military discipline, and this king has the final say!" ”
The soldier was greedy, so he no longer hesitated, picked it up and poured several sips in a row, "Your Highness, good wine, mellow and sweet." ”
Tuoba Siheng stared at the soldier for a while, and when he saw that he was fine, he relieved himself, snatched the wine jar, and poured a few sips with his head up.
He was a heavy drinker, how could he resist the temptation.
"It's really good wine, happy!"
"So save the wine first?" The soldier asked.
"When the war starts, I'm afraid this wine will be ruined." Tuoba Siheng thought for a while and said, "Tonight's banquet, everyone drinks wine and eats meat!" ”
Hearing the excitement outside, Yan Duan knew that this Tuoba Siheng had been fooled. He shook his arm and a dagger fell out of his sleeve, severing the rope tied to his wrist.
With a movement of his wrist, he picked the rope from his ankle and untied it.
Tuoba Siqi was very angry, and wrote in the palm of Yan Dui's hand: "The war is imminent, and he actually took the whole army to drink!" ”
Yan Du smiled, "First, he thought that the southwest would not dare to fight this battle, and the attitude of the king of the southwest made him even more convinced. Second, he had an army of 20,000 and the other side only 8,000, and he thought that the battle was doomed from the beginning, and he would definitely win. Because of this mentality, he lowered his vigilance and even treated it as a game. ”
As he spoke, Yan Dusk came to the door of the tent and looked out through the gap. Sure enough, the big banquet had been set up, and the soldiers drank wine and ate meat, so happy.
"What about you, in the end, you are a Xianbei person, there is no need to get involved in these, after the fight starts, you can just see the form and escape." Yan Du said to Tuoba Siqi.
Tuoba Siqi nodded, he was not only a Xianbei person, but also a royal person, and he really shouldn't be involved in this battle.
At this time, he was not in a hurry, and after waiting for a while, Yan Du saw that these people were almost drunk, and then sneaked out, first solved the two guards, and then took advantage of the moonlight to touch the door of the barracks.
He needed to free the sons of the tribes before they were taken hostage.
When he walked over there, Yan Du saw that those soldiers, ordinary soldiers could not share two sips of wine, so they were still sober, but those generals had received a lot of wine, and they had begun to be confused.
Especially that Tuoba Siheng, holding a large jar of wine, was already drunk on the wine table.
He quickly reached the front of the barracks, untied the people tied to the wooden frame one by one, and told them to flee to the city. Finally, there is Sikong Qingyun, he has been tied up for the longest time, and he can't stand at this time, Yan Dui let the two of them take him away.
After doing this, Yan Du touched it back again, lit a tent, and the fire immediately rushed up.
