Empress Chu

Liang Ji sighed softly: "General Zhong, I know that you have misunderstood our father and son, but at this time, it is related to the Great Xia battle. Don't think that we have won this battle. General Xie captured the King of Xiliang alive. neither."

Zhong Changrong was furious: "Liang Ji, you are not the commander-in-chief of our army, so it's not your turn to point fingers!"

At the same time, he ordered people to come.

The generals in the camp also looked unhappy.

"General." Liang Ji didn't have the slightest fear, "Please let me finish. I'm not questioning General Xie's bravery and merit. The top priority now is to keep this credit, General Xie's current situation is very critical, he must be besieged now—”

"Don't worry, he will definitely not die earlier than the King of Xiliang." Zhong Changrong said coldly.

"General." Liang Ji seemed a little helpless, "What the general is worried about is the death of the king of Xiliang. Xiliang still has the eldest prince sitting in Xiliang City, and they still have the king."

Zhong Changrong's face froze.

"General, the problem now is not that Xiliang King's soldiers threaten General Xie." Liang Ji said, "It's that they will be ordered to kill Xiliang King."

The king of Xiliang who was captured died, and the eldest prince guarding Xiliang became the new king of Xiliang. The situation changed instantly, and Daxia was still trapped.

Zhong Changrong fell silent, and the other generals in the camp also turned slightly pale. They all knew that what Liang Ji said was the truth. In fact, this was why they persuaded Zhong Changrong before, and even Zhong Changrong himself hesitated.

At this time, it was uncovered and revealed, and I had to face it.

What is more important now is to keep the great victory of Xiliang King being captured. Shipo City should actually give up.

Liang Ji saw Zhong Changrong's expression in his eyes, slowed down his voice, and said, "General, if this is the case, General Xie's bloody battle will be in vain."

The other generals couldn't help but say again, "General, you should lead the troops in person, it won't work if this continues." Gotta keep a—”

Zhong Changrong lowered his eyes and looked at the badge on the table. There was too much news about the king of Xiliang being captured alive. In order to avoid doubts from everyone, Xie Yanlai presented his badge as evidence.

Look carefully, there are still bloodstains on the waist card.

Is that kid already drenched in blood and looking ugly?

Zhong Changrong closed his eyes, raised his head, and said, "Xie Yanlai has already sent more troops to help, but I must keep an eye on Shipo City and never leave."

Everyone present was stunned.

Reinforcements are reinforcements, but if the commander sits in person, the momentum will be different, especially if the battle is against Xiliang Wangjun.

There was a flash of surprise in Liang Ji's eyes, but he didn't convince him?It shouldn't be, Zhong Changrong is all about hegemony, for the sake of power, for the sake of victory, and everyone's persuasion to this point, he should no longer hesitate to lead the army to surround the King of Xiliang.

What's the use of staring at Shipo City like this, it's better to just ignore it, so that he can do things quickly——

This is a good thing for Zhong Changrong, so he doesn't have to bear the reputation of being unfavorable for rescue or ignoring people's lives.

He, Liang Ji, took the initiative to take the blame.

Why is Zhong Changrong so confused?

"General." He stepped forward to say something more.

Zhong Changrong raised his hand to stop him: "You don't need to say more, to me, the death of the king of Xiliang, and the new king of Xiliang's eldest prince are not as important as the safety of the 30 people in Shipo City."

He looked past Liang Ji and looked outside the tent.

"It doesn't matter if the eldest prince of Xiliang becomes the new king."

"Our brave soldiers of Great Xia, if they can kill one king, they can die another one."

……

……

At the same time, in the king's tent of Xiliang, the king of Xiliang was also talking about life and death.

"This king is going to die." He sat on the felt mat with his body tied up, "Little general, you are going to die too."

Beside him on a gorgeous beard bed lay a young man, who was also heavily bound—wounds were almost all over his body.

But even so, he still let himself lie down leisurely, and barely raised his legs.

Hearing what the King of Xiliang said, he smiled and turned his head.

"Then you have to remember who sent you on the road." He said, raised his arm, and pointed at himself with the finger wrapped in the wound cloth, "Master, thank you Yan."

Chapter 53 may

The King of Xiliang turned his head to look at the young general occupying his bed.

It happened very suddenly, the sudden attack in the night, the killing was fierce and fast, but he didn't feel anything at the time, and he went out to see who was not long-sighted to die. A young general covered in blood—seemed to emerge from the ground, and seemed to be a dead body lying on the ground.

The next thing he could see was blood and flesh flying everywhere, and he couldn't see anything else clearly, and then the young general stood behind him with a long knife across his neck.

The cry of Xiliang King being captured pierced the night sky.

Then one piece after another of people fell down, and then people came out one after another and surrounded it like a dense forest.

He was tied up, and the young general behind him also left.

When he saw the young general again, it was dawn. The young general was wrapped in wound cloth, his hair was tied up, and his face was exposed. He was younger than he imagined.

It's also pretty long.

"You remind me of Chu Ling." That was the first sentence the King of Xiliang said.

The young general stroked his chin: "I am similar to him, but General Chu killed your father, and now it is I who killed you. You can remember another name in the future." He reiterated, "Thank you Yanlai."

He was a very proud and showy young man, fearing that others would not remember his name, the King of Xiliang laughed and said it over and over, and nodded.

"Xie Yanlai." He said, "Killing me is not necessarily a victory. What you should do now is to let me go, otherwise, you will die."

Xie Yanlai laughed: "I still don't understand—" At this point, he hissed twice, as if he was in severe pain, he gritted his teeth and called out "Xiaoshan——"

The King of Xiliang saw a young man standing next to him slithering to the side of Hu's bed, holding half a pill and stuffing it into Xie Yanlai's mouth, he hesitated again.

"Master, I can't eat any more." He whispered.

Xie Yanlai snatched it with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth: "I know it." After taking the pill, he continued to speak, his voice was a little muffled, "You powerful people, once you are caught, you still threaten others. I don't know if it's smart. Still too stupid, no, too proud."

He lay on his back, swallowed the pill, took a deep breath, and relieved the pain.

"It's important to think that you are great, but if you fall into the hands of others, why is it so important?"

"Since I dared to catch you, I came here to die together. If I die, I will die. If I am afraid of death, what am I doing here?"

The king of Xiliang said: "What's the use of you dying with me, I'm dead, I still have a son." Speaking of this, he smiled arrogantly, "Do you believe it or not, you should know that the moment I was captured, our Xiliang already had a new son?" Your Majesty? I'm nothing now, don't even think about using me to threaten Xiliang, even if Daxia's reinforcements come, it's useless, you and Daxia can't get anything—"

Halfway through his speech, the young general on Hu's bed was calling for water again. The soldier named Xiao Shan hurriedly fed him water, and after a few sips, he said it was too bad to drink, and complained that Xiao Shan's movements were not gentle enough. his handmaid.

"When I get back, I'll learn from the young master's maids and sisters." Xiao Shan repeatedly promised.

The King of Xiliang didn't mind his gags, and when they finished drinking, he continued, "So, Xie Yanlai, what you should do now is to let me go and have a peace talk with me. I have already sent a peace agreement to Daxia. , since you have captured me, I am willing to make concessions when negotiating peace, so that both you and Daxia will have their own gains—"

"Okay, great king, you don't need to talk." Xie Yanlai lazily interrupted him, and waved his hand wrapped in wound cloth, "Who said I didn't get anything? So what if Xiliang has a new king right away? Kill you The king of Xiliang is the biggest gain for me, Xie Yanlai. I am worth it in this life, and I will be famous in history. This is what I got. As for whether it will affect the battle situation or what Daxia gains, it is none of my business. "

The battle situation and Great Xia have nothing to do with him?The king of Xiliang laughed, so he came to die just to leave his name in history?

"You—" he would go on.

But this time, as soon as he opened his mouth, Xie Yan came to order: "Shut his mouth."

The guarding soldiers immediately pulled some rags and tied the Xiliang king's mouth.

Xie Yanlai snorted: "It's so noisy."

Saying this sentence should be accompanied by a very handsome turning inward movement, but unfortunately he is wrapped up like a wooden man now, thinking that he has turned over, but his legs have not been put down yet, and he does not know where the injury is , making him let out a muffled grunt.

"Master——" Xiao Shan had been staring at him, and immediately rushed over, looking up and down, his voice tense, "Where does it hurt? How is it? Is there any medicine I can take?"

Xie Yanlai put one leg down, and turned the other leg up. She turned her upper body around, and her lower body was still lying flat. She closed her eyes and said, "Noisy! Shut up! Help me up!"

Only now did Xiao Shan see Xie Yanlai's movements, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to move his legs over——

"My lord, it's better to lie flat on your body." He said again, "Why are you lying on your side?"

Xie Yanlai scoffed: "Because it looks good."

What's so ugly about this, Xiao Shan scratched his head in confusion.

"Okay, stop staring at me, go out and stare outside." Xie Yanlai turned his back to him.

Xiao Shan responded, stopped before leaving, and asked in a low voice, "Master, are you okay? Can you hold on?"

"You are really long-winded. If you can't hold it outside, it doesn't matter if I can't hold it." Xie Yanlai said impatiently, but still replied, "I can hold it."

Xiao Shan was answered and comforted, and happily responded and went out.

Xie Yanlai was motionless, lying face inward with a sachet in her mouth, the sachet seemed to be chewed to pieces due to the force.

The sachet is not fragrant, without the aroma of almonds, and the ink aroma of the letter paper, there is only the smell of blood in the mouth and nose——

During the fight, the robes were soaked in blood, and the sachet worn around the neck and hidden next to the body did not escape.

He was biting the sachet tightly so that every time he loosened the sachet when he was about to fall into a coma, he would wake up suddenly.

In this way, he can stay awake.

Although he may die soon, but until the moment of death, he is still in control of victory.

Xiao Shan stood outside the tent, looking at the night that was about to cover the earth, his face became gloomy.

"How are you, sir?" a soldier asked in a low voice.

Xiao Shan sighed: "It hurts so much that I can't even drink a few sips of water, and I can't move my body."

The soldier was silent.

Another soldier came quickly, seeing their expressions, hesitantly stopped.

Xiao Shan looked at him and said, "What's the matter?"

The soldier said: "The west side is also surrounded."

Xiao Shan's face darkened: "It's pretty fast."

"In this case, we will be surrounded on all sides. Even if our reinforcements come, it will be difficult for us to break through." The soldier whispered.

They are too few.

The three of them looked towards the twilight, and there were circle after circle of soldiers outside the king's tent, like a gossip formation, but it was different. If someone looked down from the sky, they would find that it was like a flower that was about to bloom.

This is the army formation that the young master came up with, and he even gave it a nice name, Liuhua formation. (Note 1)

When the army from all sides rushes over, it will bloom strangely and coquettishly.

Then it crumbles into mud.

Xiao Shan snorted, folded his arms and raised his eyebrows: "Break out? Since we're here, we don't want to break out. We're here to kill the King of Xiliang. I'm satisfied with doing this."

The soldier who reported the letter laughed, and said sincerely: "Brother Xiaoshan, you are not at all like the young master. The young master is taller and prettier than you."

Xiao Shan snorted and kicked him: "Get lost and continue to investigate."

The soldier jumped to avoid laughing and ran away.

Xiao Shan stayed outside all night. Although he missed Xie Yanlai very much, he still made up his mind not to return to the king's tent. If these Xiliang soldiers had a new king, and the new king ordered everything to be calmed down, he would rush over for the young master. Hold the last pass.

The night is gradually fading, and in the misty morning light, there seems to be noise all around.

Xiao Shan, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly sat up straight, his eyes covered with red silk sharply looked towards the direction of the noise.

But there was no sound of soldiers and horses fighting, and a group of people and horses were galloping in sight.

"Report—the Xiliang envoy has arrived—"

Xiliang envoy?Xiao Shan frowned. Earlier, some princes and leaders from Xiliang Military Department sent envoys, but Xie Yan told him that the King of Xiliang was here, and no one else was qualified to send envoys.

After a few times, those people didn't dare to come.

Why is it sent again now?Still brought in?

"What's going on?" Xiao Shan shouted, looking at the soldiers and horses getting closer.

In addition to the Great Xia soldiers, there are also people wearing ordinary robes and Xiliang robes——

"Thank you general, it's the envoy from Xiliang City brought by the reinforcements." The guards shouted.

This sentence contains two meanings, reinforcements?Reinforcements have arrived?Koyama's gaze fell on two men in ordinary robes.

"Are you the reinforcements sent by Shuai Zhong?" he asked.

The two men shook their heads and nodded again.

Inexplicable, is it or not?Xiao Shan frowned, the guard had already approached and showed him a badge: "They are indeed holding the badge of Commander Zhong."
