Chapter 206 Son’s Revenge

Outside the Northeastern Pass of Dayan, the two armies faced each other, the war horses neighed, the armor blocked the early spring sunlight, and the iron hoofs trampled the thin snow on the ground.

King Xiao Ming of Qi invited the Grand Marshal of the Beidi Army to meet with him.

The two sides had been fighting very intensely before, battling wits and courage. This was the first time the coaches from both sides had met.

King Xiao Ming of Qi put on his helmet and led more than 20 cavalry to the front of the battle. The Marshal of Beidi on the opposite side also only led more than 20 cavalry.

The two sides approached. Xiao Ming clasped his hands and gave a brief salute to the other party on his horse.

Although he was facing a barbarian state, the Beidi Generalissimo commanded his troops well and advanced and retreated in a measured manner. No wonder after Xiao Zhuo was deposed, all the generals sent by Emperor Yongde were defeated and had to ask him to send troops.

Now he can only push Beidi outside the pass, and it is difficult to continue to advance. The front line is deadlocked here. There are more important things waiting for him to do at this time, and he decided that both sides should stop fighting. Today is to discuss this matter. Letter It has been submitted to the other party before.

The Grand Marshal of Beidi was very young. He looked to be in his thirties, not even forty, so he was young and promising. He also returned the greeting to Xiao Ming on the horse, and said a few words sideways to the Beidi sergeant next to him.

The sergeant nodded, rode out of the formation, and said in blunt Dayan dialect: "King Qi, our marshal respects your character. Since you want to call off the troops and make a truce, our marshal originally agreed."

Xiao Ming frowned.

Originally he agreed, but that means he didn't agree to the truce?

He said to the sergeant next to him who was proficient in Beidi language: "Ask him why he didn't agree to a truce."

The Yan Army sergeant also stepped forward to convey Xiao Ming's message. The Beidi Grand Marshal said to the sergeant who was responsible for delivering the message. The Beidi sergeant who delivered the message said: "The Grand Marshal's son died in the hands of your son. .He can't let you go like this. If so, he will feel sorry for his dead son."

Xiao Ming was startled, there was such a thing. Why did the Beidi Marshal in front of him still have contact with his son Xiao Beiheng?

The Beidi sergeant who sent the message continued: "The generalissimo only has two sons, and one of them was killed by your son. Now that you want to call a truce, he wants you to hand over your son. He will retreat immediately and will never regret it."

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "This is such a mouthful. Beiheng has been heading west since he left the customs. He did not come here with me. How could he hurt his son?"

A general next to him rode up to him and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness once burned down a village and killed many people..."

As the general stated, Xiao Ming's smile gradually froze.

After listening, he slowly said: "Why have you never mentioned this matter?"

"Your Highness, this..." the general hesitated, "That village is Beidi's village, and it is an enemy's village. We all feel that His Highness's actions are not inappropriate, so we did not inform the Prince."

"What about the generals who followed Beiheng? Why didn't they say anything?" Xiao Ming's anger surged, "What's the use of my king asking them to follow Beiheng!"

When the general saw King Qi's anger, he was too frightened to speak and lowered his head.

"This kid is so ridiculous once he takes charge of an army!" Xiao Ming was furious, "The two armies are fighting and they take pleasure in massacring civilians!"

The Beidi sergeant on the opposite side shouted: "King Qi, if the generalissimo can see that you don't know, then your son did it without telling you. That would be a personal grudge between him and your son and has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Ming was having a fit, but when he heard what the Generalissimo Beidi on the other side meant, he suppressed his anger again and said to the sergeant in charge of delivering the message: "What does the Generalissimo mean?"

The sergeant reported it exactly as it was. The sergeant on the other side said:

"The grand marshal's son was shot to death by your son with a bow and arrow. If one day your son falls into his hands, he will also use a bow and arrow to avenge his murder. He will not let him go because he admires you as a person. If you

Agree, both sides will call off their troops and have a truce, and you can go back to Dayan to handle your affairs. If you don't agree, the two sides can continue to fight. But outside the pass, it will be the world of our Hu people and cavalry, and your Yan army will no longer be like inside the pass.

That gives you an advantage."

Xiao Ming replied: "It is only natural and right for a father to avenge his son, but the Grand Marshal of Beidi must do it himself. I agree."

The Beidi Generalissimo nodded, gave another salute with both hands, turned his horse and ran towards the Beidi Camp.

"Your Majesty, will he keep his word?" A general watched the Beidi Marshal leave with some worry. "Once we withdraw our troops, they will come back."

"No, the Generalissimo of the other side is not that kind of person." Xiao Ming also turned his horse around, "Now the Second Prince is attacking the Hunjun. We must also respond."

A general asked: "Your Majesty, are we going back to the army and going to Beijing now?"

Xiao Ming said: "That's right. This king has always tolerated Emperor Yongde for the sake of all sentient beings in the world. Now he is acting recklessly. He not only killed Prince Jing, but also killed Concubine De's whole family. I heard that many innocent palace ladies also died tragically, and Concubine Xian was also involved.

Leng Gong. Such indiscriminate killing of innocent people is already a heinous crime. In addition, he indulges in drinking and sex all day long and ignores government affairs. If such a foolish king is allowed to reign, it will be difficult for the people of Yan to see the light of day."

These are all obvious reasons. What's more important is that he dared to kill Prince Jing, who also had the surname Xiao. If he didn't act decisively, the knife would fall on his neck, Xiao Ming.

He saw both the killing of Prince Jing and the killing of Concubine De, but firstly, there was a fierce battle in Beidi, and secondly, the timing was not right. Now that the second prince was sending a message to the world to attack the foolish king, it was just the right time to send troops.

The surrounding generals all cheered. One person said: "Emperor Yongde has been stealing the throne from the prince for twenty years. It's time to return it!"

Under the command of King Qi, many generals knew that King Qi was the one whom everyone expected, but unfortunately it was a step too late and Emperor Yongde took the lead.

A general asked: "Then shall we recall His Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible?"

"No need, Hun Jun's son Xiao Zhuo is in Xiliang," Xiao Ming looked to the west with some worry, "Hun Jun named him King Zhao and gave him an army of 50,000. I'm afraid Beiheng is no match for him."

With Xiao Zhuo's ability to have experienced hundreds of battles, Xiao Beiheng may not be able to compete with him.

Although he was worried, the army was going to Xiliang, which was not something he could do in a short time.

The general said: "My lord, there is no need to worry. His Highness is a hero that we have never seen before. He is flexible and has many different strategies. Even if Xiao Zhuo has the means, I am afraid he will not be a match for His Highness."

The general said: "Your Majesty, now that the king is ignorant, the world is responding. Xiao Kai of the Jingzhou Army is leading his army to confront Xiao Zhuo. Why not write a letter asking the Jingzhou Army to assist His Royal Highness? In this way, even if Xiao Zhuo has

With three heads and six arms, how can he deal with an army five times his size?"

Xiao Ming nodded and said: "This plan is okay. When I return to the camp, I will send a letter to Xiao Kai and Beiheng, the princes of Prince Jing. With Xiao Zhuo here, it may be difficult to remove this faint king. He needs to be cut off first.

With his wings, I can deal with the Hunjun himself."

Everyone was very excited and said to Xiao Ming: "Our troops are divided into two groups. His Royal Highness will destroy Xiao Zhuo's group. The prince here will directly lead his army to Beijing. Without Xiao Zhuo, Emperor Yongde will be unable to survive alone."

After an agreement was reached, King Qi's army set up camp and marched toward the capital.
