Currently, the only people in Weize Pass who are qualified to negotiate with Jie Li are him, Xie Shufang, and Li Zhongwen.
It was impossible for him to go. If he went, it would be a door-to-door delivery, and Jieli could give up attacking Weize Pass and directly "return to the court".
As long as he holds him in his hand, Jie Li can bargain with Li Yuan freely.
So the only ones who could go were Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen.
He was a little reluctant to let Xie Shufang go.
If Li Zhongwen is allowed to go, Xie Shufang may not be able to control the soldiers at Weize Pass.
Although during the previous war, Xie Shufang deployed troops and generals on the city wall as a general, it did not mean that the soldiers at Weize Pass had been 'surrendered' by him and were willing to obey his orders unconditionally.
After all, Weizeguan is Li Xiuning's place and Li Zhongwen's place.
In the absence of Li Xiuning, Li Zhongwen is the leader of all Weizeguan soldiers.
With Li Zhongwen assisting Xie Shufang, the soldiers at Weizeguan would naturally obey Xie Shufang's orders unconditionally.
Without Li Zhongwen's assistance, no one can say whether the soldiers at Weizeguan would have unconditionally obeyed Xie Shufang's orders.
After all, Li Xiuning's private soldiers had certain special characteristics in the Tang Dynasty.
They only recognized Li Xiuning and the generals under Li Xiuning.
The orders of other people in Datang were not easy to use in front of them.
Xie Shufang saw that Li Yuanji was having a hard time making a decision, so he took a step forward without hesitation, "Your Highness, you and General Li are still needed to guard Weize Pass, so let me go."
Li Zhongwen also took a step forward and said boldly: "Xie Shufang, no matter what you say, you are still a guest of my Weize Pass. How can I, the Weize Pass, let my guests risk their lives to fight for the life of our Weize Pass.
After the news spread, others thought there was no one in Wei Zeguan.
So, don’t argue with me about the matter of going to negotiate with Jie Li this time."
Li Yuanji felt a little emotional when he saw that both Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen were willing to die for Kang De without any hint of acting.
It is not unreasonable that the Tang Dynasty could be strong, dominate the world, and be powerful both at home and abroad.
"Just let..."
Li Yuanji spoke slowly.
Before Li Yuanji finished speaking, a guard rushed into the city gate building and knelt on the ground with one knee, "Su Tongjun is back."
The guard's voice was trembling.
Li Yuanji, Xie Shufang, and Li Zhongwen all heard something different.
Li Yuanji suddenly stood up and asked quickly, "Are you injured?"
Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen were both stunned and looked at Li Yuanji in astonishment.
Shouldn't we ask first if we have caught up with Liu Heitai?
Compared to Liu Heita, a few injuries are nothing.
However, Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen immediately came to their senses after a brief daze.
Xie Shufang puffed up his chest slightly with a smile on his face and glanced at Li Zhongwen beside him.
Li Zhongwen glared at Xie Shufang in disgust.
The reason why Li Yuanji asked Su Dingfang if he was injured was because he obviously regarded Su Dingfang as more important than Liu Heitai.
Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen both knew what Liu Heita meant.
But Li Yuanji didn't care much about this, he only cared about Su Dingfang.
It can be seen from this that Li Yuanji is a person who values the lives of his subordinates more than his great achievements.
Uncle Xie was naturally happy and proud to be able to follow such a loving and righteous lord.
Li Zhongwen was obviously a little envious.
"Su Tongjun just sent people to rush back to deliver the message. I don't know whether there were any injuries or not."
The guard reported truthfully.
Li Yuanji immediately put aside the matter of sending people to negotiate with Jie Li, and hurriedly led Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen down the city wall and ran all the way to the pass.
After arriving at the pass, Su Dingfang and his party did not appear.
Until the time when the gastrodia is bright.
A group of sixteen riders appeared on the official road at the pass.
With a little light from Gastrodia, one could vaguely see that each of them seemed to be carrying a lot of things on their backs.
Only when a group of sixteen riders approached did Li Yuanji see clearly.
Each rider carries heads one after another.
The leader, Su Dingfang, was clean on horseback, but there was a head stuck out on the tip of his spear.
Seeing this, Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen both stared in shock.
As Su Dingfang and his party approached, a strong smell of blood came from them.
Some people's armors and horses were still dripping with blood.
"Your Majesty Su Dingfang, I am fortunate to have lived up to my command..."
When Su Dingfang saw Li Yuanji standing at the pass to greet him, he hurriedly urged his horse and quickly ran in front of Li Yuanji. He jumped off the horse, supported the horse's saddle, and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Yuanji.
Su Dingfang's whole body seemed to have been soaked in blood, and blood was still dripping from the corner of his armor.
Two more arrow wounds emerged from the gaps in the armor, and there were also large and small scars on his face, neck, and hands.
It was obvious that Su Dingfang had gone through a bloody battle.
Not long after Su Dingfang knelt down on one knee, the other fifteen riders also rushed to the pass. Someone fell off the horse and lay on the ground as a salute.
After someone got off the horse, he couldn't hold on and fell to the ground, which was regarded as a salute.
After a day and night of bloody fighting, although they had horses to help them, they were already exhausted.
Su Dingfang raised his horse's horse, took off the head from the horse's head, and respectfully handed it to Li Yuanji, "I have brought Liu Heitai back to you..."
Li Yuanji looked at the head in Su Dingfang's hand and didn't know what to say.
If he snatches the head away, throws it out with all his strength, sheds a few tears, and says, "Fuck Liu Heita, I almost lost one of my tiger generals."
Everyone present will definitely be trembling with excitement.
But that's too fake.
He can deceive others, but he cannot deceive himself.
Li Yuanji opened his mouth, but did not say a word.
Seeing this, Su Dingfang moved Liu Heitai's head closer to Li Yuanji and said, "Your Highness, please take a look!"
Li Yuanji took a deep breath and finally spoke, "How to do it?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Su Dingfang said solemnly: "After I broke through Liu Heitai's camp, Liu Heitai led the crowd to escape, and I chased him out with fifty cavalry.
On the way, Liu Heitai frequently forced people around him to stay, blocking Chen's progress.
But they were all dealt with by the minister.
After chasing for thirty miles, they encountered an ambush that Liu Heitai had hidden in advance.
Liu Heitao intended to use an ambush to capture his subordinates, so he led his troops to charge and kill him, and finally killed Liu Heitai."
Although Su Dingfang said it simply, Li Yuanji, Xie Shufang, and Li Zhongwen could all hear the danger in it.
It is indeed not easy for Liu Heita to bring trouble to Hebei.
He was actually able to prepare a retreat for himself when the Turks led 200,000 soldiers and horses to help him break through, and hid the ambush thirty miles away in advance.
You know, there are less than 20,000 horses in Weize Pass.
However, the Turks led 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack them. Liu Heitai himself led more than 3,000 people to help the Turks disperse the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty in Weize Pass, weakening the power of Weize Pass to guard the pass.
This situation can almost be said to be a sure win.
In this situation, Liu Heitai was able to prepare an escape route for himself, which shows that Liu Heitai's thoughts are quite deep.
Therefore, the number of soldiers and horses he hid should be quite large.
After Su Dingfang chased Liu Heitai for thirty miles, he was able to defeat Liu Heitai's hidden troops and behead Liu Heitai.
The process is definitely not as simple as Su Dingfang said.
Just from the soldiers and horses brought back by Su Dingfang, you can see how brutal that battle was.
When Su Dingfang pursued Liu Heitai, he brought a full fifty cavalry with him.
Although they are all light cavalry, they are all beaten out of more than 100,000 refugees in Luoyang with punches and kicks, and their strength is definitely not weak.
Now they have only brought back fifteen riders, which shows that their fight was quite brutal.
"Help brothers mount their horses!"
Li Yuanji took Liu Heitai's head and handed it to the guard beside him, then stepped forward and helped Su Dingfang up.
Xie Shufang, Li Zhongwen and others heard Li Yuanji's instructions and hurried forward to help the others.
"Your Highness?!"
Su Dingfang knew what Li Yuanji was going to do and hurriedly spoke out.
Li Yuanji did not respond to him, but put him on the horse, took the horse's reins and walked towards the pass.
Li Yuanji said that if Su Dingfang and others returned with a great victory and he personally led the horses for Su Dingfang and others to show his merit, then he would definitely do it.
Su Dingfang sat on the horse and watched Li Yuanji lead the horse towards the pass step by step, his eyes a little red.
Li Yuanji was not overjoyed because he beheaded Liu Heitai, nor did he hold Liu Heitai's head in his hands like a treasure.
Instead, he handed Liu Heitai's head to the guards, put aside his status as a prince, and personally led the horse for him, who had just surrendered to the Tang Dynasty less than two months ago.
"You treat each other as a soldier of the country, but I have no ability to be a soldier of the country, so I can only repay you by sacrificing my life..."
Su Dingfang said in his heart.
"Su Dingfang, the deputy commander of the Third Army of the Royal Palace, went into battle and won the battle. He killed more than a thousand enemies and killed Liu Heita in battle!"
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
"Su Dingfang, the deputy commander of the Third Army of the Royal Palace, went into battle and won the battle. He killed more than a thousand enemies and killed Liu Heita in battle!"
"..."
The guards who were holding Liu Heitai's head and leading the way for Li Yuanji immediately loudly announced to everyone in Weize Pass without Li Yuanji's orders.
The Tang Dynasty had very clear standards for the gains made by soldiers in battles.
If you hit more with less, it is considered to be in the battle; if the troops are equal, it is considered to be in the middle of the battle; if you hit more with less, it is considered to be the next attack.
Annihilating 40% of the enemy or capturing more than 40% of the enemy is regarded as a high gain; annihilating the enemy or capturing less than 40% and more than 20% of the enemy is regarded as a medium gain; wiping out an enemy or capturing 20% or less of the enemy is regarded as a low gain.
.
If you go into battle and gain something, that is a great victory.
The craftsmen in Weize Pass, as well as some soldiers recuperating in the pass, woke up when they heard the shouts of the guards, rushed to both sides of the main road in the pass, and shouted together.
"The Tang Dynasty is victorious!"
"The Tang Dynasty is victorious!"
"..."
They took this opportunity to celebrate that the Tang Dynasty had once again defeated a powerful enemy, and also to express their respect to the heroes of the Tang Dynasty.
The soldiers fought bloody battles for the Tang Dynasty and deserved the respect of everyone in the Tang Dynasty.
