A cold and solemn killing intent enveloped the gate of Baekje Palace.
More and more reinforcements arrived, but they were blocked by the Suwa family guards and could not move forward. No one knew the situation inside the palace, but Qin Huaidao also did not know the situation of the army outside, but he had to wait patiently. The captured
The people of the Tang Dynasty must be rescued, otherwise their conscience will be uneasy and the soldiers will not be willing to do so.
There may be family members, relatives and friends among the captured people.
As time passed, the city became more and more depressing, like a powder keg that could explode at any time.
The sky gradually brightened, and a red ray of sunshine jumped out of the sky, illuminating the east.
The early morning wind carries the fishy smell of the sea, which makes people irritable.
Not long after, a large number of prisoners were escorted over and connected with ropes. They were all listless, desperate, and helpless, thinking they were being dragged as blood sacrifices.
When they reached the gate of the city, everyone was a little confused looking at the Japanese corpses all over the ground.
"Erwazi!"
"Brother Tie!"
"little six!"
On the city wall, excited voices shouted.
Qin Huaidao saw that he was a soldier from Langying. He saw an acquaintance and hurried to the city wall.
"Sir, please save them." A soldier looked over excitedly.
More soldiers turned to look at Qin Huaidao, who nodded solemnly, feeling that the wait was not in vain.
Luo Ying came up quickly and shouted in a low voice: "Don't shout, let the enemy know that we are so anxious to save people, I'm afraid they won't let go, and will become passive. There are adults in everything, so why panic?"
Everyone realized it was almost a bad thing and nodded quickly.
Qin Huaidao glanced at Luo Ying in surprise. This guy was getting smarter and smarter. Sure enough, he was the most trained man on the battlefield. He smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Soga Ezo who was walking towards him and shouted, "Where are the money and letters?"
"I brought them all." Soga Ezo waved his hand.
More than a dozen carriages came behind him and stopped side by side. Qin Huaidao guessed that there was money inside and shouted: "Have your people step back a certain distance. My people will go down and check and hand them over after making sure everything is safe."
Soga Ezo has learned from Qin Huaidao's style of killing if he disagrees with him, so he has no objection. Anyway, he has arranged a back-up plan, and neither the man nor the money can escape. If the time comes, he will get angry and retreat with a cold face, Soga will retreat.
The family guards also slowly retreated a distance.
"Luo Ying, take some people down to check to prevent Japanese pirates from mixing among the prisoners." Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Ying.
Luo Ying nodded solemnly and shouted: "A few people are here."
The soldiers who called out their names rushed up without hesitation. Luo Ying did not object. He knew a better way and led the people down the city wall, walked out of the city gate, and went up to check the carriage first. Sure enough, there were boxes of silver, and a lot more.
Jewelry, coral, etc. are all very valuable.
Luo Ying was not interested in anything other than practicing martial arts and fighting. He warned everyone accompanying him: "But check your identity to prevent enemies from mixing in the crowd. Then count the number of people to see if there are any missing ones. You must bring them all back."
"Follow the order." Everyone solemnly agreed and left in a hurry.
Luo Ying walked towards Soga Ezo, his face unchanged and full of courage. When he got closer, he shouted: "Letter!"
"The letter is with me. It's unmistakable. I'll hand it over when you give it to someone." Soga Ezo was worried about his son's safety and didn't want to hand it over right away.
Luo Ying could understand, but disagreed, and shouted impatiently: "The letter is a small piece, give it to me first. This shows whether you are sincere in the exchange. Otherwise, I have reason to suspect you have ulterior motives."
"What if you don't trade after getting the letter?" Soga Eni was afraid of Qin Huaidao's cruelty, but he was not afraid of Luo Ying.
"We are all surrounded by you, and you are still afraid that we will run away? Give it to me, or I will leave." Luo Ying urged impatiently.
This is a temptation and a conspiracy.
If they didn't meet, they would be suspected of having ulterior motives, and everything they did would be in vain. In order to save his son, Soga Ezo knew he had no choice, so he gritted his teeth and compromised, handing a letter to the person next to him. The other person took it respectfully and handed it to Luo Ying.
Luo Ying did not read the content of the letter, fearing that he could not control his excitement and expose his thoughts, but Soga Ezo caught him, snorted coldly, and came to the prisoner's side.
After waiting for a while, a soldier came over and whispered: "Commander, the initial count is more than 1,300 people. Not all of them know each other. They come from different states. Everyone doesn't know who is not there. They only know that everyone they know is there."
, no enemies have been found mixed in for the time being.”
"There are a lot of people, go back first." Luo Ying said solemnly, turned around and headed towards the city gate.
Until the deal is completed, Soga Ezo cannot let the captives leave.
Several soldiers comforted the prisoners and followed Luo Ying into the city, all of them furious.
After going up to the city wall, Luo Ying came to Qin Huaidao, handed over the letter, and whispered: "Uncle, be careful that the letter is poisonous. In addition, there are more than 1,300 people outside, and no enemies have been found among them for the time being. The amount of money is about the same."
, Soga Ezo cannot make a deal sincerely, so you have to be careful."
Qin Huaidao nodded, thinking that the letter might be smeared with poisonous powder, so he motioned for Su Worulu to be escorted over, handed the letter over, and said in a cold voice: "Open it!"
Su Wo Rulu didn't think much, he opened the envelope, took out two pieces of paper and unfolded it, revealing the words on it. Qin Huaidao read ten lines at a glance. The words written in front were compliments, saying that he had admired him for a long time, etc. The topic changed and he proposed an alliance. The Japanese State sent troops to help Li
The Li family killed Qin Huaido, and after that, the Li family provided resources to help Soga Ezo win the throne of the emperor.
As for Haizhou, Chuzhou and Yizhou, the Li family transferred government soldiers on the pretext of disaster relief to facilitate the pirates' plundering, which was regarded as hard money. They also provided clues and convenience for the pirates to steal some of the court's disaster relief grain, which was regarded as a reward.
Sincerity.
The signature and seal are signed by Li Shangxiong.
In other words, this is a handwritten letter from Ri Kamio. He was worried that Soga Ezo would not agree to the alliance, so he wrote it in his own handwriting to express goodwill and sincerity while giving Soga Ezo a handle.
With this letter in hand, Soga Ezo can manipulate the Li family of Zhao County at any time and naturally agree to form an alliance.
Of course, Li Shangxiong was not stupid and left the blame to others, but he had to do it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Soga and Ezo to form an alliance. When the matter was completed, Li Shangxiong had many ways to deal with the Japanese country.
Just make use of each other and get what you need!
Qin Huaidao signaled Su Wo to put on deer clothes and go back, put it away close to his body, and said to Yuchi Baolin who had returned from raiding the palace treasure house: "The letter has been obtained, and it is as we guessed. We are going to take action next. Are your people okay?"
"No problem, brothers haven't killed enough yet, morale is very high." Yuchi Baolin said solemnly.
"No deal?" Luo Ying asked in surprise.
"There can't be a real deal. Once Soga Iroka goes back, Soga Ezo will definitely have no scruples and lead his troops in. As long as we die, he will be a great hero of the Japanese country. If he kills the emperor, it will be said that he martyred his country in battle and will be buried in glory."
By winning people's hearts, he can secure his position as emperor." Qin Huaidao said and looked at Emperor Shuming.
Luo Ying's face changed: "That bastard is not simple. Brother Shanbei can still maintain his sanity after death. He is a ruthless character and he can really do it. What should we do? There are more than 1,300 prisoners outside. We have to save him.
.”
"We have been delayed until now because of them. It is impossible to give up at this point. Prepare to break through, Paulin."
Yuchi Baolin looked serious and solemnly clasped his fists.
"Arrange more than a hundred people to carry weapons, rush to the prisoners as soon as possible after leaving, cut off the binding ropes, distribute weapons to everyone, arm them, and protect them as they go." Qin Huaidao warned.
"Understood, let the deputy commander personally lead a hundred people, no problem." Yuchi Baolin agreed.
"Arrange one hundred wounded brothers to be responsible for driving the carriage. Take as many as possible from the palace and outside. The driver does not need to fight, only the wounded can be. The dead and seriously injured are also put on the carriage. Do not leave a step behind.
, even if he dies, he must be buried back in his hometown."
"Follow the order!" Yuchi Baolin responded solemnly.
When many soldiers around him heard this arrangement, they all looked excited and their morale soared.
Death is not terrible, it was already planned before coming, but no one wants to die in a foreign land, let alone be abandoned.
Qin Huaidao's arrangement quickly spread, and the morale of the army was determined.
Yuchi Baolin was already accustomed to Qin Huaidao's style of conduct. During the battle of Goguryeo and the chaos in the north, he never abandoned his soldiers. Without thinking much, he made an estimate in his mind and added: "Protect one hundred prisoners, drive one hundred carriages, plus stay behind."
Of the two hundred people on board the ship, there are five or six hundred people left in the Tiger Camp. How will we fight next?"
