"Huh? Huh?" Hearing Li Shimin's sudden words, Zhou Yong panicked and almost threw the small tea bowl to the ground. He quickly put it back on the small table on the side, then stood up and said seriously:
"Well, King Zheng sent me here. Firstly, it's because of General Yin Shijie. Secondly, I dare to ask King Tang if he can exchange Xiazhou City with me, Zhengguo? The city! Jewelry! Food and grass! My king will agree to it!"
"Hahahaha..." Changsun Shunde suddenly laughed, then looked at Zhou Yong and said disdainfully: "What? You can't defeat it, so you want to change it? Chang'an, do you want to change it? I really thought you were Chu with He's Bi.
country?"
"That's not true." Zhou Yong shook his head, looked at his eldest son Shunde seriously and said, "Besides, Chu State has not changed its city, but our Zheng State is still very sincere towards Xiazhou City..."
"You..." Changsun Shunde pointed his trembling hand at Zhou Yongyong and was speechless for a long time. I really didn't know if this idiot was pretending or if he was really stupid. In the end, he had to stop and pick up the teacup and drink it all in one gulp.
"Sincerity?" Changsun Shunde looked away from this person angrily, and Li Shimin snorted coldly. With this cold snort, the atmosphere immediately became tense, and it was no longer as casual as before.
"Go back and tell you, King Zheng, if he dares to offend the Tang Dynasty! He will regret it for the rest of his life! Yesterday's battle was just a lesson. If you don't accept it, in ten days' time, you and I will face each other in the Nine Bends of the Yellow River! Look at the ferocity of our Tang soldiers.
You, Zheng Jun, are still invincible!"
Zhou Yong, who had been keeping calm all this time, suddenly shrank his eyes after listening to Li Shimin's words, and said solemnly to Li Shimin: "Is what your Excellency said true?!"
"Absolutely true!"
"Okay! I will definitely pass your general's words to my king!"
"Whether we want to fight or not is up to you!" Li Shimin said coldly.
Zhou Yonggong cupped his hands to show that he knew. He turned back and sat down, holding the teacup out of habit and thinking for a while, and then said: "Since you are unwilling to replace Xiazhou City, where is our military commander Yin Shijie now?
"
Changsun Shunde turned around and snorted coldly: "The man named Yin was captured alive by us, but he was unlucky. He was injured and hasn't woken up yet! Didn't you just say that you wanted to trade with Xiazhou City? Why don't you trade with him? It's guaranteed to be better than
Xiazhou City is cheap!”
Zhou Yong turned a deaf ear to Changsun Shunde's sarcastic words. He just cupped his hands and said, "We'll discuss this later. Can I see General Yin?"
"Yes!" Li Shimin thought for a moment and answered simply and clearly. Then he turned around and looked at Xiao Han, who was standing behind him scratching his head and ears.
Xiao Han was anxious behind Li Shimin at this time! He had been here for so long, and it was not like he knew nothing about Wang Shichong!
After defeating Li Mi, Wang Shichong's military strength increased greatly! And because of his plot to Chang'an, he concentrated all his troops in Luoyang City. He said he had 100,000 troops and it was no lie!
However, after yesterday's battle in Xiazhou City, there were no more than 15,000 people who could go to the battlefield! With a gap of nearly seven times between the enemy and ourselves, how could Xiao Lizi make such a decision in a flash?! If it hadn't been for this occasion, Xiao
Han Du wanted to jump out and question him!
"Xiao Han, go and bring Yin Shijie!"
"oh……"
Li Shimin ordered Xiao Han, and Xiao Han subconsciously agreed, but his body did not move at all.
"Xiao Han, bring Yin Shijie here!"
Li Shimin felt a little strange when he saw Xiao Han not moving, so he couldn't help but raise his voice a little higher.
"Ah good."
At this time, Xiao Han finally woke up and agreed to go out in confusion.
After walking out of the door, I was blown by the cold wind outside. My fevered mind finally became clearer. I screamed in my heart that it was not good, and turned around to rush in.
Xiaodong and Uncle Lunzi were waiting for Xiao Han outside the door at this time. When they saw Xiao Han coming out, they both stepped forward to greet him. Unexpectedly, Xiao Han's expression changed drastically, and he seemed to be going back again.
"Master Hou? Master Hou, what's wrong with you?" Uncle Lengzi had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed Xiao Han from behind and asked in a low voice.
Xiao Han was impatient and said without even looking at Uncle Lunzi: "Let me go! I have to go in and tell King Qin that this battle cannot be fought!"
"What kind of battle can't be fought?" Uncle Lunzi was a little confused by what Xiao Han said, but he did not let go of Xiao Han. Instead, he and Xiaodong took Xiao Han aside, and then asked: "What? Who said there was a war?
Already? Lord Marquis, you are not a general, you cannot interfere in such matters!"
Xiao Han, who was anxious and angry, was about to get angry, but was silenced by Uncle Lengzi's words: "You are not a general!"
"That's right, I'm not a general! Xiao Lizi never acts out of impatience, let alone the wily Changsun Shunde who keeps silent! Are they sure of victory? Since no professional is in a hurry? Why am I so anxious?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Han suddenly felt that his mind became a little clearer.
In fact, every time he sees blood, Xiao Han always has some inexplicable emotions, such as losing his temper this morning, or subconsciously avoiding the war now.
Holding on to the corner of the wall and standing firm, Xiao Han knocked on his head and ordered his uncle to carry Yin Shijie over quickly. Now he needed to find a basin of cold water to wash his face and calm down his impatient heart as soon as possible.
Irritability and anger are the most useless emotions in the world. They cannot bring people any useful ideas and can only interfere with people's normal thinking.
Xiao Han now somewhat understands why Li Jing has become a famous general through the ages, because every time Xiao Han sees him, he always has the same expression, and does not do anything in a hurry. Even if he is pushed to Xiao Han by Li Shentong, who is like a Japanese translator.
This is a way of looking down on the situation.
Of course, Xiao Han disliked this kind of person the most. The final result of these two brothers was that they were severely tricked by Xiao Han and drank a lot of high-alcohol alcohol until they were completely drunk.
The cool water was splashed on his face, and his heart, which had been restless since yesterday, seemed to have calmed down a lot. He washed his face carelessly, and Xiaodong ran over and said: "Uncle Lunzi has already come back with a few people."
"Master Hou, I haven't woken up yet." Uncle Lunzi entered the door, walked straight to Xiao Han, and handed over his life.
After Xiao Han finished washing his face, he felt that his worries before were purely idle. There was someone tall who was supporting him when the sky was falling. How could he pretend to be a big clove of garlic when he didn't know anything?
"Follow me in!" No more worries, Xiao Han's tone became much lighter. He raised his sleeves and wiped the remaining water on his face, then walked ahead.
After entering the house, there was no movement among the people inside. They all seemed to be waiting for Yin Shijie.
Xiao Han bowed his hands to the people in the room, pointed to the ground in the middle of the hall, and ordered the soldiers behind him to put Yin Shijie there.
The messenger Zhou Yong stood up impatiently as soon as Xiao Han entered the room. Later, he may have felt bad and sat down angrily, but anyone with eyesight could see the impatience on his face. Changsun Shunde saw him
At this, he snorted coldly and turned his head to the side, not bothering to take another look.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Yong saw Tang Bing holding Yin Shijie steady and confessing to Li Shimin. Then he hurried to Yin Shijie, half-kneeling on the ground and called softly: "General Yin?"
If Zhou Yong is so impatient, we really can't blame him. Now Wang Shichong's court has been completely divided into two voices regarding Yin Shijie. One insists that Yin Shijie has surrendered to the enemy, and these more than 10,000 soldiers are his surrender certificate.
Another voice is that Yin Shijie was just captured, and this warrant was issued under coercion, or without any knowledge at all!
For this reason, Wang Shichong didn't know what to do. He thought about it all night and sent him to find out the details today.
But seeing the seriously injured and comatose Yin Shijie now is undoubtedly the best result. Because Zhou Yong knows that it is better to be captured than to go back and tell Wang Shichong: Your brother-in-law has surrendered to the enemy!
