Seven hundred and fiftieth eight chapters without fighting and subduing soldiers
During the meal, Li Qi and Richard had an in-depth discussion on the general plan for cooperation between the two countries. With Li Qi's omnipotent mouth, the discussion was naturally unreasonable. He also hinted that Richard
How to deceive their emperor.
Richard naturally laughed and accepted them all. In fact, he also knew very well that it was their fault in this matter, and the ten thousand soldiers could not be recovered. The reason why he had repeatedly claimed the ten thousand lives was nothing more than
Wanting to clear one's name is tantamount to explaining why those ten thousand people appeared there. Although the reason is very far-fetched, it at least gives them an excuse to continue talking.
After that, the two sides discussed the withdrawal of troops for a long time. Li Qi's idea was very simple, withdraw the troops, okay, you retreat first, who said you were the one who caused this.
Richard knew he was in the wrong, so he agreed.
Richard stayed in the camp for one night and rushed back to resume his duties the next day.
Li Qi sent him off to the barracks instead of watching him off. Zhong Shidao finally saw Li Qi's eloquence with his own eyes. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Li Qi, I have convinced you, but this matter doesn't count.
Small, but you made it clear to him in two or three sentences."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "What the stud said is wrong. Any negotiation is based on strength. Moreover, as the saying goes, a biting dog cannot bark. If they want to fight, why bother to shoot him? Just
It's okay to start a war. Obviously, they don't want to fight, and we don't want to fight. Since both sides don't want to fight, then the war will definitely not be fought. Since it can't be fought, why should we talk about this impossible thing?
Let’s talk about something practical, that’s why this negotiation is so enjoyable.”
Zhe Yanzhi looked at Richard's back and said coldly: "Shuai Bu, do you think they are trying to trick us into being deceived?"
Li Qi shook his head and said, "No. Have you forgotten the purpose of Ji Minren doing so many things?"
Zhe Kecun frowned and said, "What does Bu Shuai mean?"
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, they are not after the tens of thousands of stones of food, but for your Zhejia Army. You know, the Zhejia Army is a serious problem for them in the northwest, and they hate you to the core and want to eradicate you in their dreams."
, with you here, they will be unable to move forward. In fact, their original plan was to sow discord between the Zhe family army and the imperial court. If they really succeed, not to mention the emperor sending troops, even if the emperor loses all control of you.
If you trust them, then they can take advantage of the chaos to attack Lanzhou and the Hehuang area. At that time, they can also say that you are colluding with them. In that case, your Zhejia Army is really justified and cannot be explained, and you will be in a dilemma. By then
, it is difficult for the Zhong Family Army alone to independently support the situation in the northwest."
Zhe Kecun was frightened after hearing this, and couldn't help but glared at Zhe Yanzhi fiercely. The latter's gut turned green with regret, and he lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Qi continued: "But now we have tried out their plan. Ji Minren and the thousand Xixia soldiers were wiped out. Moreover, they don't know when we learned about their plan, and they also
We were worried that we were using our own tactics to lure them into being deceived. In addition, Yue Fei wiped out their vanguard army, and our troops took the initiative and drilled arrogantly at the border. This made them even more afraid. Another thing is that they chose to do so at such a moment.
The reason for taking action is simply to rely on the Jin State, but how can the two big countries of Song and Jin fight at will? Not to mention that we are still in alliance with the Jin State. Even if we are not, the Jin State will not rashly take action because of the interests of Xixia. If the Jin State
If the country wants to go to war with us, the Song Dynasty, it must also go through careful deployment. However, the ambiguity of the Jin Kingdom made them understand that if they forcefully take action again, it is likely to cause a devastating blow to their Xixia.
Because Xixia has aided the Liao Kingdom in the past two years, they have suffered a lot of losses. The people are in dire straits. It would be better if they win. They can transfer internal pressure to diplomacy. If they lose, they will suffer internal and external troubles, and it will be difficult for them not to die!
Therefore, they will never take action if they are not sure of victory."
Zhong Shidao nodded slightly, patted Zhe Yanzhi's shoulder, and said earnestly: "My dear nephew, this can be regarded as a lesson for you. Your Zhe family army is the gateway to the northwest of our Song Dynasty and the gateway to our Song Dynasty."
As the backbone of the force, even a small mistake by you may have very serious consequences. Therefore, whatever you do in the future, you must put the overall situation first and never act arbitrarily, because you represent
It’s not you alone, it’s your family’s army!”
Zhe Yanzhi nodded and said, "Uncle Zhong's teachings, Yan Zhi will keep them in mind."
Li Qi smiled and said: "But this shows how much Xixia is afraid of your Zhejia Army. They would rather waste such a big effort and face the danger of adding insult to injury to eradicate your Zhejia Army. This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing.
.”
Zhe Kecun suddenly said: "Shuai Bu, our Song Dynasty really wants to cooperate with Xixia."
Li Qi nodded and said: "This is necessary. The current situation does not allow us to make strong enemies anymore. Now our Song Dynasty is in the recovery period and must hide its strength and bide its time, so all current plans are expedient. But
, Cooperation is cooperation, and what should be guarded against should be guarded against. After all, there are no absolutes in the world, and I dare not say that I am absolutely sure, so we have to prepare for the worst. Don’t worry, I will ask the emperor to increase your Western Army when I return to Beijing this time.
With the military expenditure, you must form an indestructible defense system between Hehuang and Taiyuan. Only in an absolutely safe environment can the economy develop rapidly."
Master Zhong said: "I'm ashamed to say it. In fact, apart from the Imperial Guards in the capital, our Western Army's military expenditure is already the highest. I'm afraid the Emperor will not agree."
Li Qidao: "You can rest assured about this. Now all the troops in the north have withdrawn to the south of the Yellow River. Although military expenditures have been reduced to a minimum, the door to the north has been opened to the outside world, and Taiyuan is our support in the north and northwest."
point, so no matter what emergencies occur, Taiyuan and Hehuang must not be lost. This is our bottom line."
Yue Fei suddenly said: "Commander Bu, I have a question, can I ask you for advice?"
"Of course!"
Yue Fei said: "Everything Bu Shuai did seems to be to prevent the Kingdom of Jin."
Li Qi was stunned and thought to himself, is what I did so obvious? Then he smiled and said: "Yue Fei, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. I believe that no one can fall asleep in the face of a big insect.
"
"me!"
The alcoholic master and apprentice said at the same time.
Sweat! I forgot about these two perverts. Li Qi said angrily: "There are exceptions to everything."
Everyone burst into laughter immediately.
Not long after Li Chaer returned, Xixia began to withdraw its troops one after another, and Li Qi and others also returned to Lanzhou City. As for the Zhongjia Army and the Zhejia Army, they all also retreated. In fact, for their two armies,
It was just a field training. Because they were stationed there, it could be said that they didn't even go out and didn't even need to bring food and grass, so it didn't cause much commotion.
This war was declared aborted.
In fact, the Song Dynasty still had some advantages. Although Xixia gained tens of thousands of grains for no reason, they lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
However, Li Qi did not relax because of this. They were here anyway, so they worked together to strengthen Lanzhou's defense. After all, Lanzhou was standing on the border between Song Dynasty and Xia Dynasty and could be attacked at any time.
After arranging the defense system, the task of cultivating the teacher's knowledge and converting it into a viable one has been completed. They can go back to their respective homes and find their respective mothers. In fact, they can't even talk about going home, because Lanzhou is their home. But Li Qi still
There are more difficult tasks waiting for him. He also has to help the Western Army consolidate the rear, solve the mess in Fengxiang Mansion, and develop the northwest.
The night before the withdrawal, Li Qi called on the three armies to hold a large bonfire party. This was to increase the friendship between each other. Of course, the most important thing was to increase his relationship with the Zhe Family Army and the Zhong Family Army.
The local residents were also very enthusiastic and brought a lot of food.
The soldiers gathered together with great enthusiasm. The only regret was that Li Qi had issued a ban on alcohol, and anyone who drank alcohol should be dealt with according to military law. Now everyone knows that this seemingly amiable commander has always been unreasonable in this regard.
.
The drunkard expressed great dissatisfaction with this. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had drank. It was not difficult for him to drink with his ability, but the problem was that Li Qi always used those hundreds of archers to scare him.
He, which made him very disappointed, quietly sat next to Li Qi and whispered: "I said Bu Shuai, do you still remember what you promised me?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course I remember, but I can't do it now. I'll go back to Fengxiang tomorrow and drink as much as I want. You just have to endure it for a day or two."
When the drunkard saw that Li Qi was trying to prevaricate him again, he felt extremely depressed and said: "Commander Bu, we soldiers are all bloody men. How can we do without alcohol?"
He deliberately raised his voice just to use collective power to force Li Qi to submit.
It's a pity that he chose the wrong person. Li Qi is a very principled person. Before anyone could react, he said resolutely: "Don't think about it tonight. If you are really bored, there are so many people here.
Just find a few of them and try a few tricks, aren't you also a martial arts practitioner?"
But as soon as he said these words, he regretted it. This guy was a pervert. Anyone who wanted to play with him was not looking for trouble.
However, some people do not believe in evil. Zhe Yanzhi suddenly came over, first saluted Li Qi, and then said to the drunkard: "This drunkard uncle---."
"Excuse me, call me an alcoholic. I don't have a stupid nephew like you, who is being manipulated by others and still looks like something." The alcoholic raised his hand, interrupting Orihiko.
Then, he mocked Orihiko mercilessly.
My God, after all, every teacher must have his disciple! Li Qi quickly gave Zhe Kecun an apologetic look.
Although Zhe Kecun was very unhappy, the other party was not wrong after all, so he could only smile bitterly.
Zhe Yanzhi was even more depressed. This may be an indelible stain in his life. Holding back his anger, he said: "Not long ago, I heard from my brothers that your skills are very good, but this boy is not talented.
I’d like to learn a few of your moves, and I hope you’ll give me some advice.”
He was martial by nature, and it was already difficult to find an opponent in the Zhejia army. He also heard from his soldiers that this drunkard could not help but escape unhurt when dozens of them were rounding up him, and he could also cause damage to them, which made him feel
Unbelievable, he had long wanted to have a fight with an alcoholic, and now that Li Qi has made the move, he will naturally not let it go.
"Are you here again?" The drunkard snorted and said, "I've already said that if you want to fight, you can fight with my young apprentice first. If you don't win against him, don't come to me." As he said that, he suddenly said towards me.
He pointed at Yue Fei, who was standing aside, and said: "By the way, Xiao Fei, I heard that your marksmanship is pretty good, and you even hit my small bridge without the ability to fight back. I'd like to see it."
Xiao Fei? Yue Fei groaned and looked at the drunkard blankly.
Ma Qiao was unhappy and said: "Drunkard, don't talk nonsense. I admit that I lost at that time, but I was not helpless to fight back. Bu Shuai, you saw it with your own eyes!"
Li Qi said unscrupulously: "I don't understand this thing, but I seem to remember that Yue Fei knocked off your kitchen knife within three moves."
The drunkard jumped up excitedly and said: "Wow haha. Xiaoqiao, did you hear that, within three moves, you still have no power to fight back, but don't worry, Xiaoqiao, I will stand up for you as a teacher.
Within one move, I will knock off this kid's spear."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the drunkard with wide eyes. They had seen Yue Fei's ability before. How could they believe that the drunkard could knock down Yue Fei's spear in three moves?
Ma Qiao turned his head and hummed: "Bragging."
The drunkard said: "Well, if I defeat Xiao Fei within three moves, you will end up making a fool of yourself so that I can be happy."
Ma Qiao said coldly: "Deal."
At this time, a disdainful voice suddenly sounded, "With such a small body, I don't know who made a fool of myself."
Small body? Ma Qiao's eyes flashed coldly, and he looked for fame. When he saw that the person speaking was Zhe Yuemei, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said to himself: "It turns out to be a woman. That's all, that's all."
But this look from Ma Qiao made Zhe Meiyue's heart tremble, and a cold feeling rushed up from the soles of her feet.
Yue Fei frowned and couldn't help but look at Li Qi.
Li Qi also felt embarrassed. This drunkard is unfathomable. The key is that his brain is not working well and he can't control it. What if he really hurts Yue Fei? But if he expresses his worries, it will undoubtedly make him angry.
Yue Fei's face was damaged, which was a big blow to a general.
At this time, Master Zhong suddenly said: "Yue Fei, just come out and let him show you a few tricks." Yue Fei was his beloved disciple, and the words of the drunkard were so insulting that even he couldn't stand it.
Li Qi saw that Master Zhong had already spoken, but he couldn't say anything. He smiled and said: "That's fine, there is nothing to do while sitting here." (To be continued...)
