Chapter 177 I know you have a hard time making a choice, but I still want to force you to make a choice
Outside Kyoto, Mingxin Lake.
On the hazy lakeside, a breeze carrying cool water vapor blew in his face, blowing Qin Wei's hair elegantly flying.
In the mist, fishing on the blue waves.
The quiet breeze and floating mist linger around Qin Wei, making it hazy and difficult to see clearly.
In the distance, Li Ji was walking slowly along the lakeside path.
He looked at Qin Wei's hazy figure. He was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and bowed: "General, I will pay my respects to Your Highness!"
Qin Wei turned his head and looked at him with a smile, "Master Hou, long time no see!"
Li Jidao: "Yes, after two years of separation, seeing His Highness again will give me an unreal feeling."
Qin Wei smiled, pointed to the stool next to him, and said, "Sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Ji sat down and looked at the rippling lake surface.
Qin Wei didn't speak, he just held the fishing rod and quietly looked at the fishing line deep into the lake.
The two of them sat like this for a long time before Qin Wei suddenly pulled up the fishing rod, and a big fat fish was pulled up by him.
"That's right, a stupid fish actually took the bait!"
He said happily.
It had been all morning, and he finally met a silly fish and was overjoyed.
However, Li Ji looked at the struggling fish, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"Your Highness probably didn't come here to fish."
"Well, no, I am mainly here to see you." Qin Wei handed the fish to Xiao Shunzi next to him and said, "Steam it at noon."
What you catch yourself should be especially delicious.
Sitting down again, Qin Wei did not continue fishing, but looked at the misty lake lightly.
"What do you think of this king?"
"What?" Li Ji was puzzled.
"How about being an emperor?" Qin Wei's lips curled up slightly.
Li Ji was shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.
What he couldn't believe was not that Qin Wei wanted to be emperor, but that Qin Wei actually said such words blatantly in front of him.
After a moment of shock, he quickly lowered his head and said, "I don't know what will happen."
Qin Wei didn't care about his emotional changes and said: "You are not a stupid fish and will not take the bait. That's why I came to find you."
"You should be very clear about the situation in Kyoto. There must be someone to sit on the throne. Prince Ping, Prince An, and Prince Ning can all do it. Of course, so can I."
Qin Wei smiled softly and said: "When I left the capital, you went out of the city to see me off and offered you a favor. This favor has always been fresh in my memory."
Li Ji lowered his head and remained silent.
When he went out of the city to see Qin Wei off, he just felt that Qin Wei's abilities were very outstanding, and by the way, he formed a good relationship. He has been paying attention to Qin Wei in the past two years, and Qin Wei's actions have proved that his original decision was right.
.
It's just that the situation in Kyoto is complicated now, and he is in a very important position. He faces countless temptations and temptations, and for a while he doesn't know how to choose.
"This is a huge gamble. If you make the right bet, you will become famous and prosperous, and your life will be rich. If you make the wrong bet, you may not be able to save your wealth or life."
"I know you have a hard time making a choice, but I still want to force you to make a choice."
"Because your position is crucial."
Qin Wei said in a calm tone.
Li Ji took a deep breath and said, "What if the general is unwilling?"
Although he already had some guesses in his mind, he still wanted to ask.
"I will spare your life!" Qin Wei said softly.
There was no emotion in the voice.
Li Ji trembled when he heard this.
Just leave him alive!
He did not doubt Qin Wei's words. Maybe when others said this, he would think it was shameless, but when these words came from Qin Wei's mouth, he had to believe them.
After a moment of silence, he asked again: "The general would like to know what His Highness is going to do."
Qin Wei glanced at him and said, "I won't do anything now. You will know when the time comes."
"I know your concerns, don't worry, I will never use force until His Majesty dies."
This is the prestige of Emperor Li. As long as Emperor Li is alive, none of the civil and military ministers, noble families, and generals of the imperial army in the court, inside and outside Kyoto will dare to take action.
Li Ji would not and did not dare to betray Emperor Li. Even if he was willing to join Qin Wei, he would not use force against Emperor Li.
After listening to Qin Wei's words, Li Ji lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "The final general is willing to follow your highness!"
After a moment of panic, he made his choice.
There is no way!
If he didn't make a choice, he might not be able to leave here today.
Seeing that he finally agreed, Qin Wei immediately showed a gentle smile on Junyi's face, "This is your wisest choice."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and in the hazy mist, a dozen vague figures slowly retreated, and at the same time, another figure slowly came forward.
If Li Ji is different today, Qin Wei is already ready to get rid of him.
He would rather have no commander in the 12th Regiment Battalion than have the commander of the 12th Regiment Battalion surrender to someone else.
…
Inside Yunyan City.
Wuhel was dressed in silver armor and his face was full of excitement, because their soldiers had climbed onto the city wall and saw victory in sight.
As long as they can climb the city wall, he will not pay attention to the mere 20,000 defenders in Yunyan City. To put it bluntly, there are 300,000 troops behind him. Even a spit from one person is enough to destroy Yunyan City.
The defenders were drowned.
However, while Uhel was excited, he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.
These soldiers who attacked the city were really too weak. Even if they were used as cannon fodder, they were too weak. More than 100,000 people were thrown into battle, and it actually took them a day and a night to scale the city wall. It was simply embarrassing.
The 500,000 troops in the Rong tribe's camp come from the four royal courts of the Rong tribe. Although the other three royal courts have recognized Uhel's alliance leader, it is impossible for them to hand over all their wealth to Uhel.
you.
Therefore, what Wuhel can really command is only the hundreds of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled in front of him and the 100,000 elite troops belonging to their Wuhuan Royal Court.
The remaining more than 200,000 troops are still in the hands of the generals of the other three royal courts.
Even he can't command it.
However, it is enough to be able to break through Yunyan City.
As long as Yunyan City is broken, they will be able to enter the hinterland of Dali. At that time, even if he does not give orders, the armies of other royal courts will prey on Dali's city like wolves.
Thinking of this, Uhel's eyes sparkled, he took a small flag and waved it gently.
A group of well-equipped Rong soldiers rushed towards the city wall.
Seeing that the defenders on the city wall could no longer stop him, he couldn't wait any longer and couldn't help but send out his elite guards.
On the city wall, shouts of killing were already heard.
Yuwen Chengdu stood on the blood-stained wall. He danced the heavy gold-plated phoenix wings like a fan. Once an enemy appeared within a few feet, he would fly them away.
"kill!"
Yuwen Chengdu's eyes were cold and stern, he jumped up, waved his gold-plated phoenix wings, and directly knocked down a dozen Rong soldiers who had just climbed onto the city wall.
He roared loudly while killing the enemy, and his silver armor was dyed into blood armor.
All around, the garrison soldiers of Yunyan City seemed to be infected, and they were desperate to die.
At this time, the soldiers were so red-eyed that they even forgot about life and death. There was only one thing in their minds, and that was to kill!
The tragedy on the battlefield prevented them from thinking too much. As warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles, they knew very well that in the face of such a situation, they had no choice but to fight to the death.
The city walls were piled with corpses, blood flowed into rivers, and the rich blood was pungent and made people panic.
However, as the elite of the Rong tribe joined the battle, the situation of the Yunyan City defenders became increasingly dangerous.
They could no longer defend the city wall. Even if Yuwen Chengdu came to support them, they still could not contain the enemy's offensive.
It’s not that Yuwen Chengdu is not strong enough, it’s that this city wall is too long, and even Yuwen Chengdu cannot take care of everything.
In the city, Wuhel narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuwen Chengdu who was fighting endlessly, with a sneer on his face.
What about innate warriors?
Perhaps an innate warrior has the ability to take the enemy's general's head out of thousands of troops, but the prerequisite is that the enemy does not have an innate warrior and cannot entangle with the large army.
Otherwise, let alone ordinary innate warriors, even warriors in the third innate realm would be killed by thousands of troops.
Seeing victory in sight, Uhel felt more and more comfortable. He had even seen himself galloping around the territory of Dali, and seemed to have seen the scene when he was respected as Khan by countless Rong tribes.
The beautiful delusion made him tremble with excitement.
suddenly.
His mind trembled.
But he felt the ground shaking, and the violent shaking made Uhel's face reveal a hint of astonishment.
What's going on?
Where did the cavalry come from?
The ground shook, naturally there was a large-scale cavalry attack.
But now they are busy attacking the city, so naturally they can't let the cavalry run around.
Just when he was doubtful, a scout rushed towards him rolling and crawling.
"The king is not good! It's not good!"
The scout had a look of horror on his face and pointed in the northeast direction.
"There is a large-scale cavalry attack from the northeast!" the scout said.
Uhel was startled, then his pupils shrank, he turned over and dismounted, and grabbed the scout's collar.
"What did you say?"
"How could there be another cavalry attack from the northeast?"
"Did you know that our main camp is in the north!"
The camp of their Rong army is located less than ten miles north of Yunyan City. Hundreds of thousands of troops camp together, with a length of more than ten miles from east to west.
If there are enemies coming from the northeast, they must first break through their camp.
When the scout was asked like this, his face turned pale with fright.
"The incoming cavalry carried the flag of the Dali Border Army. They came from the east. The camp did not send troops to intercept them. At present, they are already attacking and killing our army outside the city!"
Uhel's body trembled and he took a step back.
"Damn it!"
"What are those bastards doing in the camp?"
Uhel clenched his fists and roared angrily.
As the leader of the Four Royal Courts Alliance, he, King Wuhuan, led an army to go on an expedition. However, a group of guys behind him did not dare to attack in the face of the enemy. This made him feel angry and uneasy.
"These short-sighted bastards!"
Uhel laughed angrily.
It was just that they were unwilling to accompany the army to attack Yunyan City, but they actually ignored the enemy troops as they crossed the border.
If the rear cannot stop the opponent's attack, what's the point of conquering the city wall in front of him?
Uhel got on his horse and rode towards the north.
soon.
He saw a well-equipped army already fighting with the elite troops under his command.
Under the charge of the opponent's cavalry, many of his soldiers were killed and abandoned their armor.
Bai Qi stood among the troops, wearing cold armor and a big red robe rolled up behind his back.
Soon, he saw Uhel coming on horseback.
However, he ignored Uhel and led the cavalry towards the west.
He only has five thousand cavalry, and the Rong army outside Yunyan City at this time has tens of thousands. He just caught the opponent off guard, but if they continue to struggle, they will be swallowed up by the opponent soon.
Wuhel's face turned dark as he looked at the Dali border troops who were starting to move away.
"What are you idiots waiting for? Why don't you chase me?"
A mere five thousand cavalrymen frightened him, which made him a little angry.
And seeing that his army was almost broken through by five thousand cavalry made him extremely angry.
As he cursed
The surrounding Rong soldiers finally reacted, riding horses and waving their weapons, chasing the departing Bai Qi army.
In fact, it's not their fault. Bai Qi led five thousand cavalry who came and left quickly, taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared.
They originally thought that the enemy was in the south, but they never expected that a group of enemies would suddenly appear from the north.
For a moment, they didn't react at all. Even when the battle broke out in the rear, the soldiers in the front didn't know what happened.
After the attack, Bai Qi led his army to flee towards the west without any hesitation.
This is all he can do now.
On the southern wall of Yunyan City, Yuwen Chengdu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Rong army whose offensive had slowed down a bit.
He didn't know that Bai Qi had helped him just now. He just felt a little weird and looked towards the north. Unfortunately, he was on the south wall of Yunyan City and couldn't see the situation to the north at all.
