The entire army of the Sixth Squadron within the imperial siege was wiped out. Li Qianshun did not want his elite troops to take the lead and be used as cannon fodder. However, soldiers have their own dignity as soldiers. In their view, the elite should charge into the battle, so the Sixth Squadron within the imperial siege was wiped out. Various ministries More than half of the 10,000 cavalrymen were lost. This was due to the lack of cavalry in Daliang, and the front and rear armies did not have time to block the cavalry.
With so many casualties, the Xixia soldiers and horses did not rush to the front of the Daliang Central Army. The power of the divine arm crossbow was too great. Everyone was killed when it was shot, and the horses were knocked down. Under the continuous shooting, the cavalry could not get close.
That night, Liang's army set up camp twenty miles away from Deshun's army.
When Chao Yong was about to go to Liupan Mountain with others to have a look, a group of Xixia envoys came outside the camp to ask for a meeting.
Ten large boxes were carried into Chao Yong's tent. Although everyone had guessed a few things, when the boxes were opened, the glittering jewels still made everyone a little distracted.
Chao Yong said nothing and watched the Xixia envoy's performance.
The Xixia envoy Kuma Cai Bu opened the box with his own hands, bent down and said: "This is the wishes of the king of my country. I hope the prince will allow our country to surrender to Daliang."
Chao Yong said: "When you send troops, you shouldn't bring these things with you, right?"
Everyone also reacted. Lu Zhishen kicked the box and cursed: "The Western Xia thieves took our people's things to beg for mercy."
Kumazai buried the cloth and said hurriedly: "If the prince agrees to peace, our country is willing to return all the cities occupied by the troops sent this time."
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "These things originally belonged to us. Even if you don't return them, I can get them back."
Kuma Cai Bu said hurriedly: "I know that there are new firearms coming out in Daliang, which can even blow through the city wall, but I'm afraid these firearms won't be of much use in field battles. There are 90,000 Chinese soldiers and horses outside the Deshun Army. , there are 200,000 soldiers and horses on Huanqing Road, if the prince wants to continue to use force, even if he wins, I'm afraid he will have to pay a heavy price."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Then you can try it."
Wu Song looked at the Xixia envoy fiercely and said: "Anyone who dares to stretch out his claws towards us Han people should have his claws chopped off, and anyone who stretches out his head should have his head chopped off. Since the Xixia Emperor is here, let him stay."
Li Ying said with a smile: "I heard that people in the grassland can dance. I think this king can dance better. In the past, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty caught many kings dancing, so he got the title of Tian Khan. We can also catch some Go back and let the emperor not lose to Tang Taizong."
When Kuma heard Li Ying's teasing, he couldn't help but said with a livid face: "I also heard that the emperor of the Liao Kingdom just wanted Wanyan Agu to dance, so he forced Wanyan Agu to rebel. Now half of the Liao Kingdom is gone. .”
Chao Yong smiled and said: "That's because Yelu Yanxi is incompetent. Maybe Wanyan Aguda will dance in Tokyo in a few years."
Zhong Shidao felt very happy when he saw that the Xixia envoy who had shown off his power in the past was now being laughed at at will by Daliang.
Kuma Cai buried the sermon: "There are still Wang Qing and Tian Hu in the Central Plains. I heard that there is a Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if Daliang wants to wipe out all the countries, it will have to wait until it unifies the Central Plains. I also heard that the prince fought against foreign aggression. I would rather Let Tian Hu and Wang Qing be in power, and they will send troops to resist the invading Liao and Xixia. Therefore, the leader of our country wants to negotiate a peace with the prince. Our country will return the state capital that was invaded this time. The prince only needs to promise not to invade our country in the future. In this way Come, the prince can also return his troops to unify the Central Plains, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Chao Yong said disdainfully: "The Liao Kingdom retreated, what promise did they get?"
Kumazai buried the cloth and bent down and said: "It is precisely because the prince does not make promises easily. The leader of our country wants the prince's promise. Although our country is in a remote place, we also know that the heroes of Liangshan promise a thousand pieces of gold. We invaded the Central Plains also because of the bitter cold in the northwest.
able to plow
There is not enough land for cultivation, so we have to go to war as a last resort. Please forgive us for the sake of survival. Our country will never dare to invade the territory of the Han people in the future. God has the virtue of good life. Please give us a chance of survival.
"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if I destroy Xixia, I won't drive out all your party members. Our emperor is kind, and you will only survive better."
Kuma Cai buried his teeth and said: "The northern front of the Liao Kingdom is tight and it is unable to fight with Daliang for a long time. Our country is different. We have no strong neighbors on the left and right. If the prince does not give us a promise, our country will fight a protracted war with Daliang on the border. Unless you
Troops have been stationed at the border. But since Daliang was recently founded, there may not be many troops in the country. If they all stay in the northwest, the Central Plains will probably belong to Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and the Song Dynasty."
"Bold, even a small barbarian country dares to threaten you."
Mu Hong shouted loudly and glared at Kuma Bubu. His hand had already touched the handle of the knife. As long as the prince gave an order, the blood of this ignorant barbarian would be splashed in five steps.
Kuma Cai Bu said without showing any signs of weakness: "The prince of Daliang has descended from the gods, and with the help of divine thunder, Daliang will definitely be more powerful than the Han and Tang Dynasties. When the Central Plains are unified, all the countries will perish. The Lord of our country knows
This is your last chance, so you sent me to sue for peace. If the prince is kind and allows me to be a vassal of Xixia, our country will not dare to ask for annual coins, and would rather pay tribute to Daliang every year, just to keep my country Zuo of Xixia."
Chao Yong stood up and said: "Xixia has invaded the border for many years and is stained with the blood of our Han people. I will not make any promises. You can take the things away or leave them. I am not in a hurry to get them back."
Seeing that Chao Yong had no intention of continuing the conversation, Kuma gritted his teeth and stretched his hands into his arms.
Liu Qi saw that there seemed to be something in the lapel of Kuma's cloth, so he hurriedly shouted: "Prince, be careful."
Chao Yong, however, took the time to stretch his waist and looked at Kuma in a playful manner.
Kuma laid the cloth and saw Chao Yong put his feet under the handsome case, and knew that there was no chance. No matter what he threw, the invincible Chao Yong could pick up the handsome case with one kick and block the attacking object.
Kumazai buried the cloth and saw that there were people rushing towards him from both sides, but without touching the hidden weapon underneath, he took out a dagger and pointed it at his heart.
The people who rushed towards him saw Kuma Saibu's actions, but they didn't make a move.
Kuma put a cloth on Chao Yong and said with a smile: "The people of Xixia are not afraid of death, let alone watch the destruction of Xixia. If the prince does not give our country a chance, there will be many Xixia warriors who regard death as home. Prince, please look at me Xixia
People’s determination to protect the country.”
After saying that, he exerted force on his hand and stabbed the dagger towards his heart.
"Wait a minute."
Kumazai Bubu could already feel the chill from the tip of the dagger. When he heard Chao Yong shouting to stop, he breathed a sigh of relief, stopped and said, "Prince, what advice do you have?"
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "It is rare to meet a good man who is not afraid of death. It is a pity to die like this. Since Li Qianshun wants to seek peace, he should first release all the Han people in Xixia."
Kuma thought about it and said: "I can't make the decision on the prince's request. I have to go back and ask the king of our country for instructions."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "In that case, then go back and ask Li Qianshun. As long as there is a Han in Xixia, he will not agree to peace talks."
