Zhao Xi was not thinking about what to do with An Nanjun this time.
With less than 10,000 soldiers, they could not do much to Annan's army if they were intercepted and killed on the way. To put it bluntly, it was just a scare. If you can't defeat a drowned dog, you can still play with the frightened bird.
If you really have greedy thoughts, I'm afraid that if someone calms down, you may not be strong enough to fill the gaps in someone else's teeth.
Therefore, after throwing a round of gunpowder bombs, the escort battalion quickly retreated. It was a truly rapid retreat.
In other words, you can catch the opponent off guard and keep the other party stunned.
The battle was over, I was very happy, and neither side wanted to get entangled. It was just like they had agreed upon it, there was only one confrontation, and then everything stopped.
Zhao Xi went to bed, and the possibility of Annan returning again was very small, unless the eldest prince was also a little crazy. The key was that the soldiers were not afraid of being beaten.
The next day, it was time to continue fighting, but it was just a verbal fight.
Li Yichen didn't sleep all night. He heard the explosion. It must not have come from his house. He didn't have any gunpowder bombs at home.
Therefore, he waited for Song Jun to sneak away, and then he couldn't help himself whether to kill or behead him.
But until dawn, he still maintained his sitting posture, but was not dragged away.
Alas...it's good to still be alive!
If the Song army didn't delay, he would have to go himself.
As soon as Li Yichen entered Langsong's government office, he saw joking looks in their eyes...
"What the hell...did you sleep well last night?"
"Take this person to visit the prisoner camp, and also visit the wounded... By the way, what Chen, let me tell you, there are nearly ten thousand wounded and prisoners in Guangyuan."
"Go back and talk to your master and tell him, I told you, this place is not far from Shenglong Mansion. If you still want to play like this, I'll accompany you!"
"The other thing is, take these rags back here! What the hell? I have no shortage of rags!"
Zhao Xi didn't look like a prince at this time. If he didn't know his identity, Li Yichen would definitely think that he was a reckless man.
But being insulted by others using country slang, Li Yichen's expression changed several times, and he was too aggrieved to say a word.
If you lose, you lose. If you can survive, you still have a role to play.
As for the ugly words and country slang... Given my situation, I can't expect others to respect me.
What is said on the stage is only said to those who can get on the stage. Annan, an upright person... Zhao Xi really doesn't have the patience to be polite to him at this time.
If you don't kill him, you just want him to take a message back. Of course, the country is a country of etiquette, and some rules must be followed.
Zhao Xi's nonsense didn't look like a prince at all... But even Yu Jing felt that he had to say this at this time, so he was very angry!
If you win the battle, you should be arrogant.
This time Annan should have beaten Annan well. That afternoon, that Li Yichen came back again... I felt quite anxious.
He was really anxious. The eldest prince of Annan hoped to get the matter done as soon as possible so that he could return to Shenglong Mansion as soon as possible.
There was no other way, and he didn't know if it was due to the war in the north. His father suddenly died... Inheriting the unification was more important than entangled with the Song Dynasty.
Besides, he can't beat others.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Yi Chen sincerely asks His Highness to make it clear..."
He relayed the words of His Highness the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty, and the result of the discussion was that the Song Dynasty had no intention of occupying Langson and Gaobang, and had no intention of massacring Annan's captives and wounded.
Therefore, he needed to know Song's requirements and test whether there was any room for bargaining.
To be honest, Zhao Xi has no idea. From the bottom of his heart, he wants to directly occupy the northern part of Annan, but he also knows that it is impossible.
Today's comprehensive strength of the country, especially the quality and armament of the imperial army, does not have the foundation to station in Annan.
What's more, he was not sure that the proposal to occupy Annan would be passed in court.
The reason why he went through so much trouble was, first of all, to train troops and let the guard battalion show their talents. Secondly, he wanted to draw some war reparations.
"Bachelor, rectify Guangnan, settle the people, and restore Guangnan to the time before the rebellion by the peasants and thieves. After completing this series of actions, how much food will the court need?"
"How much food did the Western Army consume in this southern expedition? After the conquest of the Nong bandits, how much food will the court reward the soldiers?"
"How much food will be needed to care for the fallen soldiers and take care of their families for the rest of their lives? Guangnan will immediately appease the Nong people and pacify the entire Guangnan Jimi Prefecture. Will they still need money and food..."
"Your Highness, the preface is to make up for the annual tribute..."
Looking at Zhao Xi, Yu Jing estimated that the more Li Yichen listened, the more he sweated? What does that mean? Is it possible that we have to pay for all this?
That won't work!
The sneak attack after the agreement can only be negotiated on the basis of annual tribute. How can we also bear the responsibility for the rebellion of the Nong people?
Not caring about being afraid anymore, he quickly interrupted, interrupting Zhao Xi's continued talk.
"To make up for the annual tribute? What a shameless statement! Zhongzheng, take out those letters with Annan's seal and let the ambassador read them too!"
Li Yichen saw it and was dumbfounded. He didn't even know there was such a thing...
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I need..."
"Go back! Come back after figuring out the situation. Is there no one left in Annan? Or does he still not care about our army? He actually sent you and others who don't know why to negotiate!"
The words were hard to hear, but Li Yichen didn't listen at all. His mind was filled with those letters.
This is the result of trying to steal the chicken, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to bargain based on your own words.
By fighting, it was obvious that not only was he unable to beat him, but the eldest prince no longer had the intention to fight.
The situation in Shenglong Mansion is grim, and they are pressing harder and harder here... Alas! The eldest prince may be in a bit of trouble this time.
He really can't make the decision. Sui Gong can make the decision. As long as the negotiation is based on Sui Gong, he can make the decision. The eldest prince gave him the authority. The problem is that now he has little relationship with Sui Gong. It is even said that Sui Gong is just a piggyback.
.
"Your Highness, it is difficult for Annan to agree to such a request. I think we should prepare for war."
It's this kind of temperament. To put it nicely, it sounds like a gentleman. To put it harshly, it's just that I'm used to being bullied, but I haven't learned how to bully others.
With the battle reaching this level, it was obvious that fear had arisen in the hearts of Annan's soldiers, and they probably didn't have much courage to fight against Master Wang.
But when Yu Jing said this, he seemed to be a bit unreasonable.
Sigh... The old boy is right, he is just worried, and he really doesn't mean to blame.
"Bachelors, gentlemen, do you think there is anything wrong with what Annan, the Zhengdan envoy, did?"
He couldn't explain it, but Zhao Xi always felt that the other party was a little anxious, or very anxious.
It was a fact that he was afraid of being beaten, but he would never be so anxious. Especially after the sneak attack failed, Zhao Xi thought that there would be several more confrontations, at least there should be a real confrontation between the two armies, so he came to discuss it that day.
"urgent?"
Yu Jing didn't think much about whether he had been in the circle of fighting or talking. At this time, Zhao Xi reminded him... the person who had been in the court was not a fox, and he quickly started to think about it.
The current Li Dynasty usurped the throne not long ago, and has not yet formed a fixed form of succession.
The princes of the Li Dynasty all have their own forces and teams...
