Chapter 1058: Two people drinking together and betting on their fates
Shen Tang drank it all in one gulp, and when King Wumeng saw this, he also drank not a drop left!
"Hahaha! King Wumeng, how do you like my wine?"
Shen Tang asked with a smile.
King Wumeng nodded, "It's really a good wine!"
"Come!"
Shen Tang refilled the wine, "This wine was used for the banquet of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom in the North. It is a lucky thing that you and I can drink together here today!"
"I have long heard that the mountains of Wumeng Mountain are undulating like a vast sea of smoke. Now that I see it, it is indeed well-deserved! The Wumeng tribe has been here for hundreds of years, which is really enviable!"
Puller smiled slightly, "Wumeng Mountain only stretches for thousands of miles, so how can it compare to the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty! The south of the Yangtze River is richest in the world, Jinghu has outstanding people, and the Chengdu Prefecture where the commander is located is even known as the land of abundance. , compared with it, Wumeng Mountain is just an out-of-this-world place!"
The two of them sat opposite each other like this, chatting from south to north, from food to beautiful scenery, from beautiful scenery to beauties! It is really unimaginable that the commander of an army of tens of thousands on one side and the king of a land thousands of miles away on the other side, the two of them are like people on the street. Like a leisurely man, drinking and talking!
It took more than an hour for the two of them to finish the entire jar of wine!
Shen Tang shook the empty wine jar in his hand and threw it into the roaring river below!
"Drinking with King Wumeng is really a pleasure! It's a pity that although the words are endless, the wine has an end! This is a bit regretful!"
"It's already an honor to have a drink with the Marshal. I dare not ask for more!"
After drinking, the words gradually stopped! After the two sat opposite each other for a while, Shen Tang suddenly asked, "Is it okay if King Wumeng submits to my command?"
Puller thought carefully for a long time, and then solemnly said, "Yes! But I am unwilling to do so!"
Shen Tang nodded calmly, "King Wumeng, do you think I can cross the Shimen River? Can I conquer Quediden?"
Without waiting for Lale's answer, Shen Tang continued, "This Shimen River is indeed a dangerous place, but it is tens or hundreds of miles from north to south. Even if your department wants to completely defend it, it is impossible! This river is only a few dozen feet long, and I am You can cross the river from any place, but it is impossible for your department to seal off all these miles!"
"After crossing the river, I commanded 20,000 troops! I ordered some of them to be fake troops and horses to attract the main force of your army, while the real main force was divided into two groups, heading around the Tongwu Mountains and the Zhenlu Mountains, and finally to the east of Quedi. Meet at about thirty miles away!"
"Your city is strong, but it cannot compete with the strong city of the Song Dynasty! Under my command, there are hundreds of catapults and dozens of ladders! Attack the city with this, and within three days, Que Di Di will be defeated! Wumeng The king thinks that what I said is just lies?"
Pulle was silent for a long time, "What the commander said is not false, and it can definitely be done! However, I have tens of thousands of warriors, and they are all brave and fearless of death! Even if the commander captures Quedi, he will still be damaged. heavy!"
"good!"
Shen Tang nodded, "I can do this only if at least half of the 20,000 soldiers and horses under my command are damaged.
However, the entire Quediden will be a river of blood! Except for the warriors of your tribe, all of your tribe will suffer the disaster of this war!"
This time, Lale remained silent, knowing that what Shen Tang said was the truth.
Shen Tang stood up, looked at the surging river water at his feet, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "King Wumeng, I understand where your unwillingness lies! However, I want to make a bet with you, but I don't know that King Wumeng Dare or don’t you dare!”
"With this beautiful Wumeng Mountain, with the invincible warriors under your command! It's a matter of life and death!"
Puller also stood up, "Why bet?
How to bet?"
"I came here just to let the power of all the tribes in Wumeng Mountain be used by me. Now, five tribes have joined me. If you take your tribe, the entire Wumeng Mountain area will fall into It's under my control.
Precisely for this reason, I am not here to exterminate tribes and kill! King Wumeng should also know that of all the tribes that have joined me, except for those who resisted desperately or were killed or injured in the war, I have not killed anyone indiscriminately!"
"If you and I fight to the death, I will lose troops and generals, and all of you in the Wumeng tribe will definitely pay an unbearable price! Therefore, in order to prevent the situation from falling into the worst situation, I took a gamble!"
"It's up to you to designate the battlefield! You and I will each lead 10,000 troops! There will be three betting battles!"
"How about winning?
So what if we lose?”
Puller asked curiously.
Shen Tang turned around and faced Wumeng King Lale, "If I win! If your department is subordinate to me, your department can still exist as it is now. Moreover, I will ask your majesty to confer you with the title of Wu Meng." In the name of King Meng! The elite warriors of your clan need to be brought under my command, and the clan will still survive in the current territory safely!"
"If I lose, I will abandon your unit! And if anyone comes to attack your unit, I will do my best to help!"
Having said this, Shen Tang paused, "Moreover, your department only needs to win one of these three gambling battles to be considered a winner.
Only when I win three games in a row can it be considered a victory!"
"More than nine hundred years ago, on this same land, Zhuge Kongming fought against Meng Huo, the ancestor of your tribe! Seven captures and seven vertical moves demonstrated Zhuge Kongming's wisdom and the bravery of his ancestors.
And, in the end, it became a good story! Therefore, in this gambling battle, I can swear to the emperor and the empress that I will never regret it! I respect King Wumeng, so for you and my subordinates, and for the countless people, I choose Such a way!"
"In this battle, you and I will use our own methods, regardless of life or death! The winner will be the king, and the loser will surrender!"
Shen Tang's strong aura and belief in victory made Wumeng King Lale look solemn. Having an opponent like Shen Tang was a blessing, but also the greatest misfortune.
"I don't know. With this statement, if I win, will King Wumeng be willing to do so?"
Pulle took a deep breath, and then responded loudly, "I, King Wumeng of the Wumeng tribe, report to my ancestors that at the request of Shen Tang, the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty, we will engage in a life-and-death bet! The outcome is determined by fate!"
"One day later, I will tell the commander the location of the battlefield. Three days later, you and I will order our troops to fight! The winner will be king, and the loser will be contented!"
"good!"
"Snapped!"
The two clapped their hands and swore an oath. Then, Shen Tang raised his hands and said, "I am waiting for the message from King Wumeng! It's getting late now. You and I will meet on the battlefield! Farewell!"
"Take care, Commander!"
"King Wumeng, take care!"
The two of them got on their horses and turned back! On the horseback, Shen Tang finally showed a smile on his face. He did not need to fight with all his strength, but adopted this method, which was naturally the best for him! And with The temperament of these tribes is such that they are not afraid that they will go back on their word! They avoided casualties as much as possible and were able to achieve their goals. This meeting with King Lale of Wumeng was a successful conclusion.
