Courage
Qingyu shouted: "Wait, the two of us didn't want to use force today, but negotiated with the marshal." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Meng Ge also said: "Yes, father, they are the envoys of the Han people, since the ancient saying 'two soldiers fight without killing them', how can you kill them without asking the reason? This is not in accordance with the rules." ”
Li Tingshou said: "This is an adult's business, Meng'er, you don't understand, go see your mother first, she knows that you are lost, and you are about to die." Then he said to the two, "Do you want to negotiate? It depends on whether you have the qualifications or not." ”
Qingyu asked, "What is qualified?"
Li Tingshou said: "If you want to talk to me, unless you have to kill my thirty-six dead soldiers first, hum! I'm afraid you don't have the ability." ”
Qingyu said: "Okay, since the marshal wants to use force first, and then he is willing to sit down and negotiate, we have no choice but to obey orders." He choked and drew his sword.
Bingchen said: "Here, we have to try our best to preserve our strength, and we will never fight with our lives until the end, young master, please rest first, just let me come." ”
Qingyu knew that the big war was still ahead, and what she had to deal with today was likely to be another day, so she nodded and said, "Be careful." "Get out of the way.
Bingchen said: "You go up together." ”
All the dead soldiers did not go up to besiege them, but a group of twelve people stood up, and a team of six people swung their swords to attack them. Bingchen knew that there were many people on the other side, and he had to fight quickly, not softly, and when the twelve people approached, he suddenly took a step forward and didn't wait for the six people in front of him to swing their swords and slash down, a cold light swung out, and at the same time jumped up, avoiding the six swords that came from behind him, and the long sword in his hand swung out like lightning and fell to the ground. The twelve people behind him stood for a long time, and suddenly fell to the ground at the same time, and there was an extremely thin sword mark at the place of Burgan, and blood gushed out.
Everyone changed color when they saw it, and Meng Ge screamed and hid behind Beitian, saying, "Dead man, dead man, master, he has killed many people!"
Li Tingshou said: "Tingting, send Meng'er back quickly, don't scare her." ”
Li Tingting's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly picked up Meng Ge and walked away.
Qingyu said: "Don't fight anymore, otherwise it will only hurt more people's lives." ”
Li Tingshou said: "So you want to pass the test, it's not that easy." He waved his hand and said, "Go up together, kill him, and reward each with five thousand taels of silver." The remaining twenty-four dead soldiers were completely unmoved, and they waved their swords and besieged them, with the twelve men in front attacking with all their might, and the twelve men in the back defending with all their might, and they cooperated closely. Bingchen preemptively attacked quickly, but unfortunately the twelve people defended it without leaking all of them and blocked it back, but the attack of the other twelve people was followed by Bingchen with all his might. Twenty-four dead soldiers swirled in a circle to attack, trapping Bingchen on their guard, and the blades of the two sides intersected, and the sound of clanging bells sounded like a torrential rain.
Bingchen was half attacking and half defending, and after forty or fifty moves, he didn't have the upper hand at all, and he was quite bored, and jumped up, trying to jump out of the circle from the top of the heads of the dead soldiers. When the twelve dead men saw him leap up, they kicked on the thighs of the other twelve's hands and bounced up, still forming a circle in the air, sealing the way to death. The twelve swords in the ice and dust were suppressed back to the ground, standing and holding the sword in both hands, watching the twelve people keep running around and looking for a breakthrough. When he saw a relatively thin dead soldier, sweat flashed in front of his eyes, his brows were slightly wrinkled, but he did not take out the sword, until he turned behind him and suddenly pierced forward and swung his sword to shoot down, and when the dead soldiers saw him move his full defense, they did not know that the ice dust reversed back, slashed back three times in a row, and the swords fought together and sparks splashed everywhere, and the other dead soldiers barely blocked it, but the thin dead man was shocked and retreated half a step. Without waiting for other dead soldiers to help, Bingchen stabbed out with a sword, and the dead man was killed instantly. Bingchen swung two more swords to separate the left and right attacks, flashed out, turned around with two swords and four people killed each other, and a big gap immediately appeared in the encirclement.
Without waiting for the dead to turn around, Bingchen was in three columns in succession, and four people were suddenly killed at the place where they landed. The dead were killed and scattered, and it was difficult to form an encirclement.
Li Tingshou scolded: "Waste, it's all waste, hurry up and kill him for me." ”
The remaining eleven dead men didn't seem to know what death was, and committed suicide without saying a word. Bingchen had already seized a powerful terrain, just waiting for eleven people to kill, brushing and brushing three swords in a row, and then returning the sword into the sheath and walking towards the love jade. His sword is extremely cold, and if he wants to kill people, he will not drag his feet and strive to kill with one sword, and never exert more than half of his strength. Eleven dead soldiers who had no cooperation, rushing up with a ruthless force that was not afraid of death, for him there was no combat power at all, and there was no difference between killing eleven people and killing one. I saw that the eleven dead soldiers stretched out their hands to cover their necks, their bodies trembled a few times and fell to the ground together, blood continued to spill out between their fingers, and they were all dead.
Li Tingshou and his generals are all brave people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, killing countless people, and the tragic scene of blood flowing on the battlefield, fragmented and corpses like mountains has long been numb, and they can't afford to be shocked in their hearts. But the people killed by Bingchen were all fatal with a single sword, and when they died, they did not say a word, leaving only a narrow and short wound in an instant, which made them seem to be ten times worse and ten times more terrible than the scene on the battlefield. Looking at the ice and dust, the generals felt chills on their bodies, and felt that they were not facing a living person, but a god of death from hell who could destroy all life.
Bingchen said coldly: "Now you are qualified to speak, right?"
Li Tingshou said: "What is there to say, the two countries fight against the strongest, my Western Xia army has conquered the 'Juyang Pass' and defeated your Song army, captured Wen Zaiye alive, and will soon send troops to the east, and the remaining remnants of the army will be annihilated, and the Central Plains will be swept away. If you two are wise and come down as soon as possible, you will not only save your life, but also seek a great future. If you are obsessed, there is only one way to die. ”
Qing Yu said: "Do you really think that we will die today? The two of us risked our lives to capture the noble son, treated him politely without persecution or interrogation, and then sent him back unconditionally, at this time, the two of us came to the marshal's mansion alone, which may die at any time, does the marshal think we are crazy?"
Li Tingshou and his subordinates were suspicious when they heard this, according to the information collected by the spies and the stories they had seen and heard in Middle-earth the other day, all of which proved that Qingyu was a resourceful person, but unconditionally released Li Tingting, did not mention the matter of saving the commander, and at this time he took the risk to come here, which is completely contrary to common sense and does not conform to the practice of a smart person. The more Li Yanshou thought about it, the more terrifying he felt about the two of them, and he wanted to kill them immediately, but he was afraid that this was the other party's trick and the consequences were unpredictable.
Li Tingshou asked, "What are you doing here?"
Qingyu said: "Come and see Uncle Wen to say goodbye to him, and at the same time advise the marshal to withdraw from Kangcheng as soon as possible, evacuate the 'Juyang Pass' and lead the troops back to Western Xia." ”
Li Tingshou laughed and said: "It turns out that your intentions are not enough, but it is too ridiculous, it is impossible to save Wen Zaiye, and it is even more foolish to say that you will bring troops back to Western Xia." I have 200,000 soldiers in Western Xia, first break through the 'Xiangyang Pass' and then take Kangcheng, and half a month ago beat your army to the desert and fled, and will take the Central Plains directly in the near future. Isn't it ridiculous for you to let me go away with just one word?"
Qingyu said: "The marshal really thinks that he can lead the army into my Chinese land? For more than a hundred years, you have committed countless crimes in Western Xia, but which one did not return from a great defeat? Can the marshal be considered better than the ancestors of his predecessors?"
Li Tingshou said angrily: "In the past, our army retreated, and that was just because you Zhu asked for peace. I, the monarch of Western Xia, do not want to lose his face. But how can you count the gold and silver, cattle, sheep, horses, silk and silk sent by your Great Song Dynasty for this purpose, and who will win in this way?"
Qingyu sneered: "Superficial, with your knowledge, if you can take another half step forward, it can be regarded as my Great Song Dynasty is really no one?"
Li Tingshou said: "What kind of talent do you think there is in the Great Song Dynasty? Hmph! It's all straw bales, I'll show you now." Before he landed on the ground, Bingchen frowned and took out his sword. Li Tingting was forced by his murderous aura, and suddenly felt like an electric shock, hurriedly retracted his feet and took a step back, suddenly thinking that he was the commander of the first army, and it was too embarrassing to be scared like this with so many people around him, and his face turned red for a while.
Qingyu said: "I'm not talking about this but the battlefield, don't be embarrassed by this, marshal." ”
This sentence added fuel to the fire, and Li Yanshou couldn't stand it, and he was trembling with anger for a while, and he wanted to drink so that the generals would rush up and break the two of them into pieces.
Qingyu ignored Li Yanshou's expression, and then said: "Have you ever thought that my Great Song Dynasty has a vast land, a large number of people, and a prosperous world, but why would I rather send gold and silver to sue for peace than fight with your Western Xia? Is it really because your Western Xia army is fierce and strong?"
Li Yanshou said: "That's natural, you Song people are thin and small, weak in physique, weak in qi and like a sick man, you are already trembling with fear when you see my Western Xia army, where is there any reason not to seek peace?"
Qingyu said: "Don't forget the last battle, my vanguard battalion only has more than 100 people, defeated your three generals in an instant, and crossed through the thousands of troops and horses as if they were in a no-man's land, how can your Western Xia army stop us?"
Li Yanshou's face changed, and then he smiled: "That's just an exception, there are only more than 100 people in the rivers and lakes who can fight, and it will be difficult to stop the defeat, and our army will defeat the Song army in a brave and wise fight." ”
Qingyu said: "There are only more than 100 people who have seen the marshal, and I have a lot of martial arts talents in the Middle Earth, how many tens of millions, and there are countless people who are better than us in martial arts, and this 'Canglong' must be the clearest." ”
Bei Tiandao: "What you said is true, the martial arts of Middle Earth are indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but they are all selfish people, abandoning the interests of the country, fighting bravely and killing each other, and only fighting for fame and hatred, it can be said that there are all kinds of harm to the safety of the country but no benefit." As far as I know, the Hanging Moon Sect is on the verge of annihilating you all at this time. Isn't it ridiculous that you are talking about national interests and national security here when you yourself are already in a difficult situation?"
What other days said is true, but how can the momentum be suppressed here, so Qingyu chuckled and said: "What Canglong said is true, but it's a pity that you don't know us Han people, and what you see is only a superficial phenomenon." When the country is stable, it is normal for the people in the martial arts to fight for each other's interests, but isn't it the same in your Western Xia? But if the country cannot be protected, the nation will perish, and everyone will become prisoners of the ranks, how can there be any interests of each person. The hatred of the country and the hatred of the nation is above all else, and at that time, all the martial arts people will inevitably fight against foreign humiliation with the same enemy, and who can stop such a force?"
Li Yanshou laughed and said, "Nonsense, if you are really so powerful in the martial arts of Middle Earth, why don't you come to attack my Western Xia army now?"
Qing Yu said: "The words of the marshal are bad! My martial arts people from Middle Earth have already come, and the more than 100 people who broke into the army are only a small number, and they have come as a vanguard, and more people will come to help in the future." ”
Li Yanshou heard that more martial arts people would come soon, and he was a little more frightened in his heart. If the people who come are like love jade and ice dust, then there is no need to fight this battle, and they will be stunned for a while. He is not a martial artist, and he doesn't know about the martial arts of Middle Earth, how can he know that martial arts like Qingyu and Bingchen have reached the top level, and there are really not many people who can beat the two.
Qingyu saw that what she said had suppressed Li Yanshou, so she continued: "My Great Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette, a peaceful place, and the people have always been not warlike. My Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is even more generous and benevolent, and understands the hearts of the people, so when there is a war, he always retreats three points in order to seek a peaceful solution. It's not because I'm afraid, it's just because I don't feel worth it. Just imagine, a war often uses a large army of 200,000 or 300,000, and the cost of gold and silver is not less than 10 million taels, and the need for grain and grass is even greater, while the domestic labor force is insufficient, all industries are not prosperous, women are worried about mothers, and all the people are sad and have no intention of working, and the losses caused by this are several times the cost of war. It is really unwise to lose so much for a victory, so my Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty made peace with you in the Western Xia, comforted with gold, silver, cattle and horses, and ensured the well-being of all the people, but in fact it was a great victory and a special victory. ”
Li Yanshou is a martial artist, how have he thought about these many great truths, originally always thought that the Han people were afraid of the Western Xia, at this time listening to Qingyu's remarks, Mao Sai suddenly opened, and said secretly: "The Song people are so cunning, it seems that even if this battle is not won, it will be necessary to scrape him fiercely to strengthen the national strength." So he said, "You came today to make peace on behalf of the Song Emperor?"
Qingyu said: "No, people's patience is limited, you Xixia have invaded the realm one after another, my Song Emperor has reached the point where he can't bear it, and the people are also angry about it, so he decided to win this battle, no matter how big the loss is, he must earn a breath of back for my Chinese people." I don't want to see the tragic sight of soldiers of the two armies fighting each other and corpses strewn all over the field, so I specially advise the commander to withdraw from the army. ”
Li Yanshou said: "I, the Emperor of Western Xia, have long said that we must win this battle, even if there is only one soldier left, we will never be allowed to take half a step back." ”
Qingyu said: "So there's no need to talk about it?"
Li Yanshou said: "I don't have to talk about it!"
Qingyu said: "Dashuai really thinks he can win this battle?"
Li Yanshou said: "We will win." ”
Qingyu smiled: "Very good, before the war, we might as well have a competition to see who has a better chance of winning." ”
Li Yanshou said: "How to compete?"
Qing Yu said: "If you want to fight, you will naturally test the strategic martial arts during the battle. ”
Li Yanshou was still hesitating, and one of them leaned forward and whispered: "Commander, promise him, just take this opportunity to explore the strength of the Song army." "This person is none other than Richie. He stood behind Li Yanshou without saying a word before, to see what kind of powerful character Qingyu was, and at this time, seeing that Qingyu proposed a test battle, which could be used to explore the opponent's reality and reality, he hurriedly stood up.
Li Yanshou said: "Okay, but the content of the competition has to be proposed by us." He said to Li Qi: "Archie, this matter is handled by you, and this handsome man can trust you." ”
Li Qi said: "Xie Dashuai." Said to Qingyu: "Are you willing?"
Qingyu said: "Yes, but I have a proposal, how about we bet on this? I am willing to bet my life on my side to win." ”
Bingchen said: "And my life." ”
Li Qi felt quite embarrassed, the outcome of this competition is difficult to distinguish, if it is unwise to use his own life as a bet, but if he does not agree, it seems that his side is afraid, and he must not show weakness. His mind turned sharply, and he said secretly: "His purpose is definitely not to kill me, he must be to save Wen Zaiye, why don't I push the difficult things on others." He smiled and said: "The lives of the two of you have some weight, which is worth a hundred dead soldiers on our side, and you can make a note, and you can put forward what you want us to use as a note." ”
Qingyu said: "I said earlier, the two of us are only here today for two things, one is to persuade the marshal to withdraw from the army, and the other is to see Marshal Wen and say goodbye to him." Since the first thing doesn't work, the second thing is a bet. ”
Li Yanshou said: "What does it mean to say goodbye?"
Qingyu said: "The commander has changed in the army at this time, and all the military power of Marshal Wen has been taken over by Deputy Marshal Dong Haotian and Marshal Dong, so he is no longer a marshal, just an ordinary Song soldier, you Xixia is useless to keep him, and if you don't fight, you will definitely take his life when he is defeated." My father was a good friend of him, so I came to see him for the last time as the son of the ancients, to bid him farewell, and to do my best on my father's behalf. ”
Li Yanshou exclaimed: "What, your army has changed commanders?"
Qingyu said: "How can an army fight without a handsome, Uncle Wen was captured by mistake, how can the position of commander be vacant?
Li Yanshou was so angry that his face turned blue, he worked hard to capture Wen Zaiye and used it to coerce the Song army, at this time, the Song army suddenly changed commanders, and his efforts were not in vain. Li Qi thought more deeply than him, although he couldn't be sure whether Song Jun had changed his commander, but he knew that Qingyu must have come to save Wen Zaiye, as long as Wen Zaiye was controlled, he was not afraid that his Qingyu would mess around, so he said: "Do you just want to see Wen Zaiye? I can take this as a bet, this gamble is over, and he should die." ”
Qingyu said lightly: "That's right, I can collect his corpse, if the soldiers see his corpse and are excited, this battle will be won." ”
Li Yanshou said: "You are really inhuman, I won't let you take away his body." ”
Qingyu said: "What to bet on, answer you." ”
Li Qi said: "Archery, the art of war, martial arts, two wins in three games." ”
Qingyu said: "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”
Li Qi said: "We don't have to go to the school field, the back garden is wide, and the competition is enough." Let the first general lead the way, he lagged behind, and said to Li Yanshou: "Dashuai, these two must not stay, we must send heavy troops to lie around the garden, and after the competition, no matter whether we win or lose, we will immediately order the two to be eradicated." ”
Li Yanshou said: "It's exactly what I want." "Immediately passed the order to go.
Qingyu and Bingchen, who were walking in front, also knew that they were in a dangerous situation, and they had to decide a way to get out. Qingyu said in a low voice: "After the competition, they will kill them." I'll try to distract the other party's attention, and you wait for the opportunity to try to take down Li Yanshou. Richie is cunning, you must pay attention to him. ”
Bingchen said: "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely fight with all my might." "This is related to the life and death of the two, at this juncture, if you don't fight, you will die, naturally there is no room for it, and you will fight to the end.
