Chapter 163: The envoy Gongyun was beheaded to beg for mercy, and the enemy was provoked to scold the enemy with his sword (2)
Li Gongyun said: "Your Majesty, it is better to keep this person in custody temporarily and make a decision at the end of the war. If we, Qu Yue, win, we will have to kill or cut him into pieces. But if I, Qu Yue, lose, we can also use it."
Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to save his life, my territory in Qu Yue, and your supreme throne than to kill him now?"
Li Huan nodded approvingly and said with a smile: "Well, you are indeed smart, and this method is indeed feasible. Then I will hand him over to you. Don't let him escape under any circumstances, otherwise you are the only one asking!"
Li Gongyun cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the general will personally take him to the prison and will never let him escape."
Li Huan looked at Li Gongyun and showed a rare sincere smile, "Okay, I believe you." Then he waved his hand again and said: "I agree to you if you want to go with me on the expedition, but on the battlefield, swords and guns are blind.
, if you want to protect me, you must first protect yourself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Gongyun bowed down excitedly, and then made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Zongquan. Zhang Zongquan saw that Li Gongyun not only begged for him, but also treated him with courtesy, which was completely different from Li Huan's irritable and arrogant attitude just now.
He couldn't help but feel good about him, he bowed his hand to Li Gongyun, and then slowly walked towards Tianlao under the escort of everyone.
More than ten days later, Yongzhou Prefectural Government.
Hou Renbao sat in the middle of the back hall with a gloomy face. There was no expression on his face. Only occasionally when his eyes turned, he showed a little nervousness and anger. Kou Zhun sat on the chair next to him, staring at Hou Renbao, waiting quietly.
He spoke.
After a long while, Hou Renbao said: "Brother Kou Xian, the government sent Mr. Zhang as envoy to Qu Yue, but he was detained by Li Huan without reason. What do you think we should do about this?"
Seeing that Kou Zhun was thinking silently, he asked again: "According to Kou Xiandi, should we inform Liu Cheng and Sun Quanxing and others immediately send troops to accompany us to defeat Qu Yue and rescue Lord Zhang?"
Kou Zhun looked at Hou Renbao and said: "Sir, if we stand still at this time, we will be underestimated by Li Huan, and the morale of the army will be shaken. But the officials have not yet issued an edict, accusing Li Huan of being a traitor. If we rush to send troops, it is inevitable that our troops will be unknown.
, I hope you will think twice about the pros and cons."
Hou Renbao wondered: "What Brother Kou Xian said is true. At this time, we are too passive. It is not right to send troops, and it is wrong not to send troops. What can we do?"
When the two were undecided, a government servant suddenly ran in from outside the door. He ran straight to Hou Renbao and said breathlessly: "Sir... sir, good... good news. The government sent someone to send an imperial edict to your Majesty.
Send troops immediately!"
Hou Renbao stood up suddenly and asked: "Where is the angel now?"
The officer pointed in the direction behind him and said, "The angel is now in the hall."
Hou Renbao and Kou Zhun looked at each other and walked quickly towards the main hall.
Soon, the two came to the door of the main hall, and Hou Renbao took the lead to enter the hall. They saw a young eunuch, holding an imperial decree in his hand, standing in the hall. He hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "See you, my official, Hou Renbao."
More than an angel."
The young eunuch said: "Master Hou, this is the holy decree. I would like to ask you two to take over it."
Hou Renbao and Kou Zhun hurriedly knelt down in front of the young eunuch and paid homage. The young eunuch smiled, held up the imperial edict in both hands, and said loudly: "The National Shengjiao Institute is Tan, Wei Lingxianji. Therefore, it is the realm of the kite site, and it has not returned to the territory."
Picture of this area. It is close to Wuling. In the late Tang Dynasty, there was chaos. Part of the area became a tyrannical state. Favor became the custom of deafness and blindness. When Panyu was established, Zhengshuo was first promulgated. Although the head was called a vassal, it was quite
Repair the troops and consolidate yourself. Is this the great etiquette? It is a last resort to punish the people. It is better to go to heaven to attack, use pi to change the barbarian army, and it is better to use Hou Renbao, Liu Cheng and others to lead the army to attack."
After hearing this, Hou Renbao hurriedly said: "The official family is a sage, and the lower official Hou Renbao will accept the order!"
The young eunuch handed the imperial edict to Hou Renbao, and then said: "Master Hou, the mission of the Za family has been completed, and I will leave now."
"I respectfully send you off to the angel." As they said this, they stood up and sent the young eunuch out of the government office.
Hou Renbao looked at the back of the young eunuch and asked: "Brother Kou Xian, the official sent a secret envoy here this time, presumably to let us send troops as early as possible so as to seize the opportunity. I wonder, brother Xian, when do you think it is safest for us to send troops?"
Kou Zhun said without thinking: "My lord, since the official has sent an imperial edict, it is better to do it sooner rather than later. I will go and write a few letters to inform Liu and Sun that in ten days a force will be sent to Quyue!"
"
Hou Renbao nodded, "Okay, Brother Yu has been planning to conquer Qu Yue for a long time, and today the time is finally ripe. You go and notify the other armies to get ready, and then invite Miss Murong and Shaoxia Wan to go with you. Brother Yu will call soon."
Li Huan knows how powerful my Song Dynasty is!"
After receiving the order, several armies quickly gathered their troops, mobilized food and fodder, and got ready to go. Ten days later, Hou Renbao led the army out of Yongzhou, and Liu Cheng led the navy out of Guangzhou. Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked by water, and set off for Quyue in a mighty manner.
The two armies marched straight into the territory of Quyue and were invincible, advancing towards Hualu with an irresistible momentum.
Near Lang Son, there is an open hilly area.
The hills were covered with endless weeds, without flowers, sheep, or horses. The weather was slightly overcast at this time, and the strong wind blew the weeds, which were half a man tall, up and down like waves, making a "sand" sound. At a glance,
It gives people an inexplicable feeling of desolation.
Suddenly, at the end of the hill, a team appeared faintly. At first, it was just a few blurry black spots, but the black spots soon became larger and denser, and in a blink of an eye they gathered into a mighty formation.
Tens of thousands of troops.
The leader was a middle-aged man. He was wearing armor and had a long sword on his belt. His brows showed shrewdness and bravery, but he still couldn't conceal his scholarly aura. To his left was a man in red robe, holding a sword.
A middle-aged military general with a broadsword. On his right is a handsome and elegant civil servant. The expressions of these three people are very serious, and their official aura clearly reveals their identities.
Behind the three of them were two young men, a girl in purple and a ruffian young man. Not only did these two people have no official air, their expressions were more casual than ordinary people, and they had no trace of the pre-war spirit.
Serious and nervous.
The girl in purple was riding on the back of a thin horse, slapping the horse's butt hard and complaining: "What kind of broken horse is this? It can't walk as fast as this girl. How can you ride it into battle to kill the enemy!"
The naughty young man rode on a majestic horse and joked: "Little witch, since you said this horse can't walk as fast as you, then why don't you go on and walk? Why are you relying on others' backs?"
The girl in purple glared at him after hearing this, "You stinky beggar, if I don't kick you a few times, your butt will be itchy, right? Be careful, I will snatch your horse and let you go!"
The ruffian young man smiled and said: "You are a girl, but you still want to ride such a tall horse? Be careful if you don't ride it well, it will throw you off. You kid is a tiger to begin with. If you break your brain again, you will be killed."
You are so stupid!"
The girl in purple was about to fight back, but she heard the soldiers behind her laughing. She turned her head and glared at everyone angrily, and then fell silent. The arrogant young man took off the wine gourd from his waist and took a sip of wine.
, and then said to the soldiers: "Brother, this is what's wrong with you! How can you laugh at others in front of them?"
The girl in purple snorted coldly: "That's right, do you have any rules?"
When the soldiers heard this, they stopped smiling. They were about to say a few words of apology, but the arrogant young man saw this and said: "If you want to laugh at her, you should find a place where she can't hear you and laugh secretly, otherwise she would be so embarrassed."
, you are so stupid, so angry, can I punch you and send you to the West?"
The girl in purple slapped the horse's ass, leaned against the naughty young man's horse, raised her hand and grabbed the naughty young man's ears, and said angrily: "You stinky beggar, tell me! Do you always secretly laugh at me behind my back?"
"
The arrogant young man shook his head quickly, "No, no, how dare I dare?"
The girl in purple snorted, "I'm sorry you don't dare!"
The arrogant young man grinned and said: "You little witch is just doing bad things. If I kept laughing at you secretly, I would have died laughing so many times. There are still so many delicious things in the world that I haven't eaten.
However, there are still so many good wines that this young man has not tasted. It would be really not worth it to waste this life in vain!"
