Chapter 22: The Strategies of Delaying the Troops
canyon
Li Guo had ordered the rebels to retreat to the entrance of the canyon and re-arranged the formation, and the other side of the rebels were slowly stooping the whole team.
"Hi! What a great opportunity? Now I can only watch them retreat!" Hao Yaoqi said unwillingly.
Li Yan frowned and said nothing. He turned to see Li Guo. He saw Li Guo sitting on the marching stool and silently, his face turned black, as if it was raining heavily.
After a while, Li Guo opened his mouth: "It is useless to say more about things at this point. If it really doesn't work, prepare to evacuate."
Li Yan stepped forward and asked, "What should I do if the major general?"
Li Guo raised his head suddenly and glared: "Luo Cao Cao robs everything, we don't need it. At worst, we can return all the heavy and heavy ones. If not, there will be these rebirths, and we can always get double happiness."
After hearing this, Li Yan thought it was a method. First, they were already planning to retreat, and they could reduce the burden after paying it back heavily. Second, what they originally wanted was food, but population was not important.
"I'll go talk to them later?" Li Yan suggested.
"No need, you organize the retreat, I'll talk. I want to see which force this Daqin is!" Li Guo gritted his teeth.
Li Yan was naturally happy, but he still said with concern on the surface: "Okay, general, please pay attention to safety, shake the flag to protect the general."
Hao Yaoqi agreed happily: "Okay, military advisor, don't worry!"
Li Yan suggested again: "General, I suspect that the Qin army should have that kind of firearm, so try not to get too close to them."
Li Guo nodded without saying a word. Now he just wants to see the guy who has fooled him several times soon, and it would be better to kill him with his own hands!
Li Yan was still a little uneasy when he saw Li Guo's condition, but he was not convenient for him to say more. He then clasped his fists and went down to arrange for evacuation.
Li Guo and the others were sitting in the canyon, waiting for the opposite side to ask them to meet. Now they no longer have the initiative...
On the other side, Mali, who was in a mess, hurriedly got off the horse, but he was beaten up, which made the young man in the Hui family beside him worry.
At this time, Mark came over on a horse. There were dozens of men with drums next to him, a young man with white robe and a big man carrying sacks.
When Mark saw his father, he quickly stepped forward, held him and asked with concern: "Father, are you okay?"
Mali saw his son crying, and he almost fell into trouble this time.
Mali’s war skills are not very good, but he is still very good at dealing with people, so he did not talk to his son much, but asked directly: “Child, father is fine, are these people?”
Mark then remembered that he had forgotten his business, and immediately introduced: "This is General Wang Li of the Great Qin, and this is the warrior Zang Shuo. These are the new military cavalry of the Great Qin, and the emperor's imperial guards..."
Mali was also a little surprised when he heard this. How could Hui tribe He De get the support of the Emperor's Imperial Guard? The Qin Dynasty attached too much importance to them, right? But why did he send the imperial guards so much?
Just when Mali was frightened and confused, and wondered how to speak, Wang Li clasped his fists and said, "Is it okay to point... the commander?"
Wang Li said, Mali could not be frozen, and quickly saluted and responded: "For the concern of Your Majesty and the General, the old minister is safe. Thank you for sending the general and all the heroes to help."
Wang Li was also a family member who had been invading human relationships for many years. Naturally, he heard that there was something in Mali's words. Doesn't it mean that there were few people in their help?
Although he was a friendly army, Wang Li could not deteriorate the might of the Qin Dynasty, and then spoke:
"The emperor ordered us to come and suppress the bandits. Now I will go to negotiate with the bandits. Commander and go together."
After hearing this, Mali was stunned and thought: What big things are you talking about at such a young age? You can’t beat others even if you have more than two thousand. You can negotiate with dozens of them? And you can suppress bandits?
However, Mali also knew that it was the other party who saved him and Huimen after all, and now he was under the banner of the emperor, so it was difficult to stop him, so he didn't say much.
Then Wang Li raised his hand, Zang Shuo next to him put the sack containing Li Laiheng on the ground, and unbuttoned his mouth again.
Wang Li ordered Zang Shuo: "Wake him up."
Zang Shuo first clasped his fists, then took out a sheepskin kettle and poured it directly on Li Laiheng's head.
Although Wang Li just shouted that he had captured Li Laiheng, in fact, he didn't know Li Laiheng at all. He just came to the Former Qin Zheng to introduce him to several leaders of the trespassing army to facilitate his actions.
"Ahem..." Li Laiheng finally woke up.
Wang Li asked expressionlessly: "But the king's nephew, Li Guo's adopted son - Li Laiheng?"
After all, Li Laiheng was a teenager. Even if he became a prisoner, he would not have surrendered. Otherwise, he would not have resisted the Qing Dynasty for decades in history.
During this time, he glared and shouted: "My master, I am Li Laiheng. If you want to kill me, you can do whatever you want. I will cry and say that I am your son!"
The children of the Wang Lishi family had never heard such harsh words, and they couldn't help but laugh: "You little thief is very interesting, not bad, you are a man."
"Hmph!" Li Laiheng snorted angrily.
Wang Li continued to ask: "I guess the master general is either Li Guo or Li Zicheng, I don't know why the King of Chuang invaded our Great Qin this time? How do you plan to give Your Majesty an explanation for the dead Qin people and Hui tribe?"
Wang Li didn't know that Li Laiheng and Chuangjun were actually here for the first time, so he just thought that Cao's army was also under Li Zicheng's subordinate, so he was so angry that he was punished.
Li Laiheng spoke directly: "What's the point of asking? The Zhu family is unrighteous and the people are not full, so they naturally become bandits. If they become bandits, they will rob you nobles, local tyrants and evil gentry. After that, let me have a happy time!"
Wang Li was naturally not satisfied with this answer, but it was really difficult for him to deal with Li Laiheng's attitude of not eating soft and hard. Then he waved his hand and asked someone to seal the sack back.
"It seems that I can only find the thief directly. Commander Ma, please follow me." Wang Li made a gesture of asking for help, and Mali immediately followed after seeing it.
At this time, dozens of Qin soldiers stepped forward one after another. Half of them prepared the drums, but the other half took out a large puffer roll and drove them to the drummer.
Then a few drummers began to beat the music. When the crusade army and the Hui army heard this, they became nervous and began to enter the combat post, as if the drummers were their commanders.
Wang Li waved his hand, and the drummers stopped one after another. Zang Shuo also took a big sheepskin tube and put it in front of Wang Li.
Wang Li shouted to Tongzi: "Is it the King of Chuang or Li Guo opposite? This is Wang Li, the general of the Qin Dynasty. Please come forward to negotiate with your friends."
Wang Li shouted, Li Guo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up from the stool, and shouted a few steps forward: "I am Li Guo, I'm talking nonsense, let's get the conditions."
Wang Li didn't expect the opposite side to be so direct, so he turned to Mali and asked, "Are there any conditions?"
Mali naturally wanted to let them keep the things and the people and hand over the murderer, but this was obviously not a negotiable condition. You must know that Huimen was defeated...
So Mali could only think about it: "At least, all the people in the Hui tribe must be returned."
Wang Li nodded after hearing this, and continued to shout: "I want you to hand over all the returning troops and supplies, then hand over the bandits who have killed people and surrender on the spot. Finally, he submitted a letter to beg for surrender and sent Li Chuang's son to Chang'an as a charity!"
After Wang Liyi said this, Mali was stunned. It seemed that this was not his request. Since that was the case, why should I ask him? Isn’t this a force for the bandits to fight to the death?
Before Mali could ask, Li Guo was already angry. After all, this condition was no different from asking him to commit suicide directly.
Li Guo roared angrily: "Qin thief, bullying people too much!"
In fact, what Li Guo was worried about was Li Laiheng and was afraid that the loss would be too great. Otherwise, he would not take it seriously if he returned to the level of war in the army.
Now Wang Li's attitude is inevitable. Fortunately, both sides have hostages and are not afraid of the other party "tearing up votes".
"Damn it! What about the military advisor? How are you preparing for the rear? If you don't work, take back all your men. If you win, we will leave. I don't believe that if you return to the army, you can go to heaven?" Li Guo was furious.
However, just as Li Guo was yelling to attack, Li Yan rushed over and whispered: "No, the Qin army's activities were detected at the exit of the valley!"
Li Guo was shocked. It turned out that Wang Li did not want to negotiate at all. This was just a delaying strategy. He had been waiting for the Qin army to go backwards!
