Chapter 40: Not next time
More than a month later, the army was stationed.
"What? Do you want me to stay where I am and play? Shi Biao's head shook like a rattle, "Don't do it, don't do it, I won't do it!" β
"I'm not consulting you, I'm giving orders." Li Qing said lightly, "I'm Qincha, do you have to disobey?" β
"It's not...... Why? Shi Biao was unconvinced, "I've come all the way to be full?" If you don't let me go with you, then why should you let me do it?
Am I not a useless person? β
"How can it be useless?" Li Qing could only coax, "You came to the town, with you, the Tatars knew that it was the Ming army that came, so he didn't dare to come nonsense, besides, when there are so many family members, don't they all have to rely on these people you brought to watch?" β
Li Qing persuaded with good words: "The establishment of military merit is not only about winning battles, those family members add up to 10,000 people, and importing so many people for the Ming Dynasty is also a great achievement!" β
"Yes, that's it." and Yong praised, "If you go to this station, who dares to touch us?" On the contrary, if we really bring a large army into the other party's camp, it will give people a sense of declaring war;
In that case, even if the other party doesn't want to fight, they have to fight. β
Li Qing nodded: "If you stay here, you will be our solid backing." β
"I'll go with you and let him stay." Shi Biao pointed at He Yong and said, "No matter what, I can't let you take the risk alone. β
"No," Li Qing decisively refused, "He's just a Jinyi envoy, he can't control the army, and no one listens to him." β
Seeing that Shi Biao still wanted to continue to insist, Li Qing said again: "In this way, after I go back, I will teach you the kung fu of pressing the bottom of the box." β
"I knew it!" Shi Biao said angrily, "You really left me a hand." β
"Less nonsense, don't you learn?"
ββ¦β¦ It's too dangerous, you don't take me with you, but it's okay to bring five thousand elites, I'll look at the remaining fifteen thousand supply soldiers. Shi Biao said, "In this way, even if the talk collapses, you can hold on until I go to the rescue." β
"If you really want that, even if there are five thousand elites, even if you wait for you to rescue, it won't be enough to see." Li Qing still refused, and said coldly: "Shi Biao, you don't want to be rash, I brought you here for the sake of the overall situation, if you really want to fight, I will take your uncle." β
There was a pause: "Everything is in the interests of the Ming Dynasty, listen well, I'm not discussing with you, but ordering." β
ββ¦β¦ Take your liking! Shi Biao didn't look around, "I'm not too rare to go." β
"That's right." Li Qing nodded with a smile, then patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously, "Have you forgotten what I told you in the past?" β
Shi Heng was stunned.
Li Qing continued: "You are a military general, not a reckless man. β
He pointed to the soldiers everywhere, "You have to be responsible for them, responsible for the Ming Dynasty, as the main general, the most taboo is to act rashly, calmly analyze the situation, weigh the pros and cons and make the best choice, this is the ethics of the general, not just morality." β
"Alas...... I understand. Shi Biao sighed dejectedly, his shoulders collapsed, and he said weakly: "Give me time." β
Li Qing said with a smile: "Five days, if you don't come back for more than five days, it proves that something happened to us, you can directly lead the army back to Beijing and tell the emperor truthfully." β
"Ang, Cheng." Shi Biao said in a sullen voice, "Be careful, if you really fold on the grassland, the emperor won't spare me." β
"Don't worry, they don't dare, and they can't keep me." Li Qing smiled confidently, "Wait for our good news." β
~
In the afternoon of the next day, Li Qing and his entourage were stopped near the Tatar camp.
The Ming army of 20,000 is not far from Tatar, and the spies have already detected it, and at this time, seeing that Li Qing and his party are all Han costumes, they can't help but get nervous.
- Da Ming shouldn't have come to declare war, right?
"Let your new master come to see us." He Yong Lang said.
Two years have passed, and with Heyong's dress and temperament, he has changed a lot, and this group of Tartars didn't recognize him.
"What is Da Ming going to do?" The leader asked.
"We're not here to declare war, we just want to talk to you about something." Li Qing added with a smile, "We have less than fifty people in total, so it's impossible to hurt your Taishi, right?" β
A group of Tartars looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
"If he doesn't come, it's okay to take us in, right?" Li Qing said with a smile, "Tatar tribe, afraid of dozens of us? β
Hearing this, a group of people couldn't help but have a hot face, and the leader stepped forward and said, "Da Ming really didn't come to declare war on us?" β
"If Da Ming wants to go to war, do you need to engage in intrigue and trickery?" Li Qing smiled.
The man was stunned, and immediately stopped hesitating, "Please." β
~
By the time we arrived at the Tatar camp, it was already evening.
Li Qing was leisurely, but He Yong was full of emotion and sighed.
"What, you still want to stay in the grassland?" Li Qing quipped.
He Yong smiled bitterly: "That's not it, I just feel that the efforts in the past, now looking back, I feel quite naΓ―ve, the grassland has long completely lost the strength to win the Central Plains, it's just wishful thinking." β
He sighed lightly: "Even if the king really unifies the grassland, he can't subvert the Ming Dynasty. β
Li Qing smiled and sighed: "If everyone on the grassland is as transparent as you, then Daming will save a lot of heart, and frankly speaking, it is also their blessing to become a citizen of Daming." β
"It's hard." He Yong shook his head, "Nine out of ten people are still immersed in the glory of the past, and they refuse to recognize the reality, nor do they want to recognize the reality. β
"yes, but... Someday they will see clearly. Li Qing is full of confidence, "I believe that with the passage of time, more and more people will recognize the reality." β
He Yong just smiled and didn't refute.
After a while, a rugged man, surrounded by his guards, entered the tent.
"Is that you?" Li Qing and He Yong spoke in surprise at the same time.
"Is that you?"
The rugged man couldn't help but be surprised, and then, he couldn't help but feel weak.
At that time, the last battle belonged to him as the fastest runner, and it was he who ran the fastest, so he was the first to return to the grassland.
Feeling that he couldn't get along in the Tatar department, he began to gather resources as soon as he came back, and he wanted to defect to Warat and bring money into the group, but he received the news that the boss had been captured.
So he simply didn't do anything, and he didn't stop doing it, and he directly came to a big integration, and became the new leader of Tatar in one fell swoop.
Now facing the former boss, he can't help but feel a little ashamed, after all, he sold someone's house at the beginning.
Then, he remembered something and asked, "Last time, it was you too?" β
"Not bad." Li Qing happily admitted and said with a smile: "Master, please take a seat, we are here this time just for the last time." β
The rugged man looked at him smiling, but his scalp was a little numb, and he hesitated and refused to step forward.
Li Qing's force value, as well as ruthlessness, he fully understood.
This is a person who even his own emperor dares to stab, how is he not afraid.
"If there is something to say directly, there is no need to fix those imaginary." He spoke hard, but his legs moved back behind the guard.
"Da Ming is not here to fight, of course, if you want to fight, Da Ming is also willing to accompany you." Li Qing said with a smile, "Master of the Majesty, you are so cowardly, can I still eat you?" β
The rugged man's face flushed, thinking that this was his own territory, and Li Qing had dozens of people here, so he also put his mind at ease.
"Stand down." He waved his guards away, stepped forward and sat down, "Tell me, what's the matter?" β
Li Qing said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, didn't you take away four thousand warriors last time?" β
"What, you still want to play that game?" The rugged man's face sank.
"No, we're here to help you lighten your load." Li Qing said with a smile, "Without the loss of young warriors, those old and weak women and children will not have much value, it is better to hand them over to Daming, which can also reduce food consumption." β
"Who said it was useless, they can herd cattle and sheep." The rugged man retorted.
Li Qing said lightly: "Listen, I'm not discussing with you." β
"You're ......!" The rugged man said angrily: "Yes, we are far from being the opponent of the Ming Dynasty now, but you don't have to go too far, stealing people yesterday, robbing people today, don't you have a temper when Lao Tzu?" β
"You give these people to me, and Daming will not come to steal or rob people again in the future." Li Qing said, "This is what our emperor meant, look at this." β
Li Qing took out Zhu Qiyu's guarantee, "You don't believe me, don't you believe in Emperor Ming?" β
The Son of Heaven said a word, and when the rugged man saw the document stamped with the imperial seal, his excitement slowly calmed down.
"This is the last time." He muffled, "Not next time." β
