"The tributes have been prepared, and the war horses and weapons are almost ready. However, they are 30% less than the gift list. Will the court be careful?" Jie Cheng asked carefully.
?b?i?q?u?g?
"There is no need to worry, Your Majesty. I will take care of myself in the court."
"The general is kind and kind, and the Xirong people will be grateful and remember it in their hearts." Jie Cheng bowed deeply and thanked him.
Li Luo looked at Jie Cheng's pretense indifferently, feeling a little tired. He interrupted everyone in Xirong's salute and said, "There are two more things."
"Please tell me, General."
"Your Majesty will follow me back to Zhuocheng. After three years, I will return to Shuoxi. In addition, the city wall on the east side of Shuoxi will be lowered by three feet. Do you have any objections?"
Jie Cheng paused, his saluting hand froze in mid-air, and everyone behind him whispered. Jie Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, General, for not killing."
"You don't have to thank me. When we get to Zhuocheng, fortunes and misfortunes are unpredictable. The king is so talented and resourceful that Li Luo dare not leave the king alone on Shuoxi." Li Luo looked at Jiecheng coldly and said in a deep voice.
A person behind Jie Cheng came forward and knelt down and said: "General, the war in Xirong has just stopped, and everything is waiting to be done. If the king goes to Zhuocheng..."
Jie Cheng interrupted: "Stop talking. The defeated ministers have no excuses. Now is the best outcome for Xirong. Jie Cheng takes the order."
"Your Majesty." The people behind him cried sadly.
"Fortunately, there are still three days left, which is enough for me to pass on the throne." Jie Cheng glanced at Jie Ketian and smiled slightly.
Li Luo was a little surprised to see Jie Cheng being so free and easy. Li Luo glanced back at Shen Xiangdong and Yun Wuyan, both of whom were slightly surprised. Jie Cheng also understood that Li Luo's discussion with Ji was just for Xirong.
He saved some face, otherwise, Shuo Xi was already under the control of the Dagan soldiers, and people inside and outside the city would not be left to their own devices. Everyone bowed to Li Luo and the others again, and Jie Ketian supported Jie Cheng and slowly
Exit the hall slowly.
The Dagan generals looked at the retreating figures of the Xirong people. Yun Wuyan suddenly said: "General, will Jie Cheng commit suicide?"
Li Luo was slightly startled and said, "Probably not."
Shen Xiangdong muttered: "How could it be possible? How could an ambitious person like Jie Cheng die so easily? In my opinion, it is also a variable when we arrive at Zhuocheng. It is a pity. If only we could have had more time when the city was destroyed. I would have been able to
Put an end to this trouble."
Yun Wuyan nodded and said: "This Jie City didn't mention Qiang Mo at all. It seems that they have guessed our army's intentions and are afraid that they will slander our army when they get to Zhuo City."
"Only relying on his one-sided words, the court will not believe it. Our army has won a great victory. No one will disturb the emperor's interest at this time. However, what General Yun said must be guarded against. It is inevitable that there will be no villains in the court to interfere."
Li Luo said indifferently: "Jiecheng cannot return to Shuoxi."
"I'm afraid that there are people in the court who don't know the depth. Jie Cheng is definitely not a kind person. If he uses some means secretly, it is indeed a variable as Mr. Shen said." Yun Wuyan said in a cold voice.
Li Luo took a breath and said: "To make a country successful, only one or two people are not enough. If we want Xirong to have no disloyal intentions, I must prosper first. This is the most difficult thing."
Shen Xiangdong nodded and said: "What General Li said is true. Dagan is so powerful that no one in the four borders dares to stroke the beard of a tiger."
Li Luo swept away the sadness on his brows and said loudly: "In three days, we will return to Yingchou Gorge and pass through Lue Xifu."
"General, I will obey the order." All the generals responded in unison.
Dagan soldiers withdrew from Shuoxi one after another. More than three feet of the city wall on the east side of the city was blown up, and bricks and stones were left on the city wall. It would probably take several months to repair it.
Jicheng set off with the army, and the remaining people in the city stood by the road to see Jicheng away. However, seeing that Li Luo treated him with the courtesy of a king, they all thanked him loudly. Except for a few knowledgeable people, no one had time to make a living here.
In difficult times, ponder the hidden meaning.
Li Luo personally ordered Jie Fenghuo to lead the guards of Xirong, and appointed Jie Ketian as the king of Xirong. After the two battles between Yingchou Gorge and Shuoxi, the wise king of Xirong had been killed by Li Luo and lost his courage. He also loved the people more than fighting, so Li Luo Ji
People felt free to leave him in Shuoxi.
It's just that Jie Cheng had only heard about it a few times, but he was willing to pass on the throne to Jie Ketian. His scheming mind made Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong a little worried.
This time when I went to Zhuocheng, Jie Cheng brought many family members with him. Except for Jie Nirvana, who was called Jie Zhe, most of the royal family members he brought with him were women. Even his own wives, concubines, and maids also brought many of them. At a glance,
There were over a hundred people there, and among the crowd was the woman who Li Luo had given back the jade bracelet. Many of them looked sad about leaving home, but still looked forward to it with excitement.
Li Luo sighed slightly, I'm afraid no one knows better than him what Zhuocheng is like. If these women enter Zhuocheng, they will probably be like pebbles thrown into the mire, sinking without a trace.
Jie Fenghuo prepared for the battle and came with Jie Cheng to report to Li Luo. Li Luo glanced at Jie Cheng lightly and said: "There are still more than a hundred maids in Yingchou Gorge. Let's just bring them all to Zhuocheng.
"
Jie Cheng felt a slight chill in his heart and hurriedly replied: "Those are for the general. The tributes have been prepared."
"Tribute?" Li Luo's tone turned cold, he glanced at Jie Cheng, rode away, and said from a distance: "Let's set off."
Jie Cheng and Jie Fenghuo looked at each other, the sharp look in their eyes flashed away, and turned back to the battle, preparing to leave the city.
Li Luo came to the front of the formation, saw Ni Qing, and asked, "Is Miss Qing here too?"
"Go back to the general, I have informed them and are waiting for you in front."
"Well, don't let Jie Cheng see it."
"The general will obey the order." Ni Qing saluted and took one step ahead of his horse.
Li Luo glanced at Yun Wuyan and nodded slightly. Yun Wuyan raised his spirits and shouted: "The whole army leaves the city and returns to Yingchou Gorge."
The army slowly broke out of camp and left the city. In the past few days, the people of Xirong had been grateful to the Dagan soldiers. Many people prepared food and stuffed it into the hands of the Dagan soldiers regardless of whether they knew each other. The soldiers just refused and refused.
, and left quickly.
After entering the city, the Dagan officers and men under strict orders did not harm the Xirong people in Qiu. Compared with worshiping fire and Hui Meng, there was a huge difference, and they were sent back to Zushan Shengyin. The Xirong people only thought that the officers and soldiers of Li Luo's subordinates were helping the poor.
There was not much hostility after the siege was rescued. Shen Xiangdong and Yun Wuyan were very satisfied when they saw this. Except for the generals in the army and the important ministers in the court who understood the reason, Li Luo and the others left a good reputation. After hearing this, Li Luo smiled solemnly,
Nothing much was said.
The army was several miles away from the city. Qingsang and his men were waiting for him early, but there were only less than ten people. It seemed that in the battle of Shuoxi Imperial City, many men were lost in order to protect Jie Ketian. Seeing Li Luo, a few people were far away
After giving a salute, Li Luo rode his horse and walked over slowly, followed by Chu Ying'er and several others. The troops in the army did not stop and galloped towards Yingchou Gorge under the leadership of Helian Chengxian.
Li Luo glanced at it and said, "Why is there no carriage?"
Qingsang smiled and said: "We are all staying in Shuoxi, how dare we slow down the general."
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Miss Qing. Let's go on our way. Ni Qing, take Miss Qing, the others and Mr. Shen with you." Li Luo nodded in return, turned the horse around, and was about to leave, when suddenly a man in white suddenly stood in front of Li.
Before falling off his horse, Li Luo was slightly startled. When he lifted the reins, the horse neighed, jumped up with its front hooves, turned to the side and stepped down firmly. (To be continued.)
