Master Liang understood what Xie Li meant by specifically emphasizing 10%. Jie Li was telling him not to be too greedy. If he was any more greedy, he would hit Xie Li's bottom line.
When Jie Li said this, Master Liang could only reluctantly agree even though he was reluctant in every way.
"Thank you Khan for the generous gift. I will definitely do my best to provide Khan with the arrows and other items needed for the army."
Master Liang stood up and bowed humbly.
Jie Li nodded imperceptibly, without much expression on his face, showing no emotion or anger.
Tu Li stared at Liang Shidu with dissatisfaction.
Master Liang didn't even pay attention to Tu Li's reaction. He bent down and saluted again, "I will go ahead and prepare the arrows needed for the subsequent attack on the city..."
After saying this, Jieli didn't make any statement.
Master Liang knew that Jieli had acquiesced, and immediately walked backwards and left the tent.
As soon as Master Liang left, Tu Li couldn't wait to speak, "Uncle, is Master Liang a little too greedy? You have exempted him from tribute, and he is not satisfied yet."
Jie Li glanced at Tu Li and said with a profound expression: "Greedy is a bit greedy, but if we want to herd horses in the Central Plains, we cannot do without Liang Shidu's help.
This time when we attack Weize Pass, if we don't have the weapons and ordnance provided by Master Liang, we will have to pay the lives of more warriors."
Tu Li gritted his teeth and said: "Without the weapons and ordnance provided by Master Liang, we can still capture Weize Pass."
Jie Li glared at Tu Li angrily, "Can it be the same?"
Without the weapons and ordnance provided by Master Liang, the price they would have to pay if they wanted to capture Weize Pass would increase exponentially.
Tu Li said unwillingly: "But Master Liang wants too much!"
Jieli was silent for a moment, and said in a calm tone: "More is more. Give him whatever you give him now, and sooner or later he will return it doubled."
Master Liang is just a puppet supported by them.
If they want Master Liang to live, Master Liang will be born. If they want Master Liang to die, Master Liang will die.
Everything in Liang Shidu actually belongs to them.
When to get it back depends on when Master Liang loses the value of using it.
Master Liang came out of his teeth and bumped into his younger brother Liang Luoren.
As soon as Liang Luoren saw Liang Shidu, he couldn't wait to ask, "How was the discussion? Have they changed their strategy?"
Liang Luoren was different from Master Liang. From the beginning to the end, he disapproved of Master Liang's use of the support of the Turks to seize the Central Plains.
But Liang Shidu was desperate to cooperate with the Turks. As Liang Shidu's younger brother, he could only advance and retreat together with Liang Shidu.
This time they cooperated with the Turks to capture Weize Pass and provided the Turks with a lot of arrows, crossbows, crossbows, trebuchets and other ordnance.
But the Turks didn't know how to economize at all. Once they had these weapons, they used them desperately.
When I ran out and asked them for more, they didn't prepare much.
Now that most of it has been consumed, if the Turks continue to be so "luxurious", they will not be able to use weapons to help the Turks.
With the temper of the Turks, they will definitely find trouble with them.
So after Liang Luoren inspected the tent where missing arrows and other items were stored, he advised Liang Shi to go talk to the Turks.
Let the Turks use it sparingly.
"Jieli Khan promised to exempt me from Shuofang's tribute for three years. We will share 10% of what we get from this trip south."
Master Liang said to Liang Luoren with a complicated expression.
After hearing this, Liang Luoren was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously: "When did they become so generous?"
As soon as he said these words, he realized something was wrong, stared slightly and said, "What did you promise them?"
Master Liang smiled bitterly and said: "Provide them with more arrows and other items."
Liang Luoren became angry all of a sudden, "Are you crazy? In order to prepare these ordnances now, we have searched all over Shuofang, and we have no spare power to forge more ordnances.
It’s okay if you don’t let them use it sparingly, but you actually promised to provide them with more ordnance?”
Master Liang's expression became even more bitter, "Jieli Khan is determined and doesn't give me any room to refuse..."
Liang Luoren glared angrily, gritted his teeth, and walked towards the dental tent. As he walked, he said angrily: "I'll tell them!"
Master Liang panicked and shouted, "Stop! When did it become your turn to make the decision in our country, Liang?!"
Liang Luoren paused, turned around and glared at Liang Shidu: "You are the leader of the Liang Kingdom. I can't be the master, but I can't just watch them push us to death."
Liang Shidu took three steps at a time and stood in front of Liang Luoren. He could not refuse and said: "Go back immediately, mobilize all the troops and horses, and prepare to cooperate with Jieli Khan to attack Weize Pass together."
"Brother?!"
Liang Luoren shouted.
Master Liang also shouted: "Go quickly!"
Liang Luoren wanted to go around, but Master Liang stood in front of him and refused to give an inch. In the end, he could only leave the location of the tooth tent with an angry look on his face and go to mobilize troops.
…
Time flies and it’s the second watch day.
On the city wall of Weizeguan.
The Turks' offensive has not weakened, and is even increasing.
Li Zhongwen and his men prepared huge logs for Li Yuanji, and after nailing iron nails and bow-shaped nails on them, they returned to the battlefield and ran around on the city wall.
Li Yuanji inspected the giant trees prepared by Li Zhongwen. Due to the rush of time, Li Zhongwen did not prepare many giant trees, only about three hundred, and the nails on them were not stable.
However, Li Yuanji was generally satisfied.
Li Yuanji also ordered people to prepare some bamboo tubes. The bamboo tubes were all in two sections. One section was stuffed with various broken nails, armor pieces, and arrowheads. The other section was filled with kerosene and tied to the giant tree.
He also ordered someone to prepare a large bucket of kerosene and put it aside for later use.
Just when everything is ready.
There was a burst of exclamation on the top of the city.
"Look at the location of the Turks' camp!!"
Someone shouted at the top of their lungs.
Li Yuanji subconsciously looked at the location of the Turks' camp, and saw a series of torches rising from the location of the Turks' camp, instantly turning into a sea of fire that stretched for several miles.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Not long after the flames rose in the Turkic camp, Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen appeared in front of Li Yuanji with a group of Li Yuanji's bodyguards.
Xie Shufang knelt down on one knee in front of Li Yuanji.
The same is true for Li Zhongwen.
The other guards also knelt in front of Li Yuanji.
"The Turks will attack the pass with all their strength, and I will fight to the death to live and die with Weize Pass. However, your highness's safety cannot be compromised. Please come out of the pass!"
Xie Shufang said in a heavy voice.
"Your Highness, please come out of seclusion!"
Li Zhongwen and all the guards spoke simultaneously.
Li Yuanji looked at Xie Shufang, then at Li Zhongwen and the guards, and let out a long breath.
"No need, I've made some preparations, I should be able to help you."
Li Yuanji said sadly.
Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen looked at Li Yuanji without knowing why.
Li Yuanji did not explain anything to them, but slowly ordered: "Whatever you should do, just do it and don't worry about me."
Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen were a little anxious.
The Turks are now trying to push an army of 200,000 towards Weize Pass.
That is an army of 200,000 people. Once an offensive is formed, it will be like locusts, capable of destroying everything inside and outside the pass.
They did not have the confidence to defend Weize Pass, so they asked Li Yuanji to leave.
If Li Yuanji doesn't leave now, if Weize Pass is lost, Li Yuanji will be beheaded or captured.
Even if they all died in the battle at Weize Pass, it would be difficult to accuse them of their crimes.
"Your Highness..."
Uncle Xie called out urgently.
Li Yuanji didn't wait for Xie Shufang to finish speaking, and then said slowly: "In a moment, I will send an order to the soldiers everywhere on the city wall. If you encounter a gathering of Turks, shoot a loud arrow at the place where the Turks gather.
Leave the rest to me."
"Your Highness?!"
Li Zhongwen shouted anxiously.
Xie Shufang also wanted to persuade him.
Li Yuanji's voice rose slightly, "I am the guard in Weize Pass, and you are my generals. You must listen to what I say."
As soon as Li Yuanji said these words, Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen could no longer speak.
Military orders are like mountains, and Li Yuanji's words are like military orders at Weize Pass.
An unquestionable military order.
In order to reassure them, Li Yuanji added: "Don't worry, once Weize Pass is in danger of being breached, I will leave a letter and explain everything to my father."
For the sake of what Li Yuanji said, Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen had nothing to say.
"I obey the order..."
Li Yuanji nodded and told them to do whatever they should do.
Before Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen left, they asked the guards to return to Li Yuanji to protect Li Yuanji's safety.
After Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen left, they passed by about two sticks of incense.
All the Turkic soldiers and horses gathered outside Weize Pass.
The soldiers at Weize Gate instantly felt the pressure doubled.
Missing arrows streaked across the sky inside and outside the pass like raindrops, and the shouts of killing spread throughout the places inside and outside Weize Pass.
"Whoosh..."
A crenel.
Shen Wu had just escaped an arrow, and one of his troops was rolling and crawling in front of him.
"Colonel... Lieutenant..."
The captain's voice was trembling.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Wu bent his bow and nocked an arrow, shot an arrow outside the city, and asked without looking back.
Captain Zheng said in a trembling voice: "All the brothers who were under my humble command are gone..."
Shen Wu was obviously taken aback, suddenly turned around, stared at the team and asked, "You and your team rushed to the crenel to help with less than a stick of incense, how could it be possible that they were all lost?"
A team has two divisions, ten teams, and a total of fifty people.
Time is gone after one stick of incense.
Shen Wu couldn't believe it.
Team member Zheng said with red eyes: "We are a team, but we have to face as many enemies as one mansion..."
After the Turks attacked with their entire army, they made full use of the human sea tactic.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty at each crenel had to deal with multiple enemies.
The school led by Shen Wu only joined after the soldiers on the city wall fought a battle with the Turks. Some places that were taken care of by the Turks, as well as those that were reduced to ruins by Turks' trebuchets and other large ordnance,
