Not long after, Xue Wanche returned from the army to the main tent of the Chinese army. He was covered in blood, and the blood had dried up, showing a dark purple color, revealing the brutality of the battle.
It was not easy for Xue Wanche to escape.
When he led his troops to rest and take stock, there were about 4,000 soldiers around him. The road was narrowed a bit, and another two thousand soldiers came back, and now there are only more than six thousand soldiers around.
Even so, the loss was heavy.
This is almost an unbearable loss.
Xue Wanche walked to the center of the tent, lifted up his robe, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said: "Your Highness, the last general is guilty and has failed the high hopes of the prince. Not only did he fail to kill Liu Heita, but he also lost troops. Thirty thousand troops, The loss of 24,000 people will eventually bear the weight of His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, please punish him."
Li Jiancheng's eyes fell on Xue Wanche with sharp eyes. Under that sharp gaze, Xue Wanche lowered his head, feeling even more uneasy in his heart.
Xue Wanche was able to gain the respect of Li Jiancheng. He thought it was an opportunity, so he was very attentive.
Now, it is a loss of face.
Also lost soldiers and generals.
Xue Wanche knelt his head on the ground and remained silent.
Li Jiancheng did this on purpose. He said in a deep voice, "Xue Qing, did the crown prince ever have the slightest distrust of you?"
"Never!"
Xue Wanche replied.
Li Jiancheng said again: "Is the prince ever not entrusting you with any important tasks?"
"Never!"
Xue Wanche replied again.
Li Jiancheng's voice became higher and higher, and he said, "Xue Qing, how did you repay the prince?"
"The last general, the last general"
Xue Wanche is a warrior, and the most important thing is that the king treats me like a soldier of the country and I repay him with a soldier of the country. Li Jiancheng valued him and trusted him and entrusted him with important tasks, but he failed to succeed and failed Li Jiancheng's trust.
Xue Wanche said: "His Royal Highness, the last general will die!"
Li Jiancheng stood up at this time and walked up to Xue Wanche. He looked at Xue Wanche who was kneeling on the ground, and with a clang, he drew his sword out of its sheath. With a sword in his hand, Li Jiancheng said coldly: "Xue Qing, your defeat in the first battle caused all the plans of this prince to collapse. All plans will be ruined in one day. You, you really deserve to die!"
After the voice fell, Li Jiancheng raised his sword and chopped it down.
Xue Wanche knelt on the ground, narrowed his eyes, as if waiting to die with his eyes closed. He failed in chasing Liu Heita, regardless of whether it was because of the Turkic surprise attack or not, in short he failed.
"brush!"
The blade belongs to.
Xue Wanche only felt that a sword had been swept across his head.
In an instant, his temple hair was disheveled, but his hair fell all over the place, and Li Jiancheng chopped off his hair.
Li Jiancheng put his long sword into its sheath, and said: "Your body and skin, I received it from my parents. Today, the prince cut your hair in a bun, and I received it on your behalf. Xue Qing, the prince hopes that you will be brave after knowing your shame, and remember today's shame." .If you fail, you can start all over again. As long as you are alive, you will have a chance to take revenge. So, this crown prince will give you another chance."
At this moment, Xue Wanche was completely excited.
? I am grateful to Li Jiancheng.
Xue Wanche clenched his fists, knocked his head on the ground, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the prince will surely be ashamed, and he will definitely live up to His Highness's high hopes."
Li Jiancheng stretched out his hand to support Xue Wanche, and said, "Xue Qing, the Crown Prince believes in you."
Xue Wanche's heart was agitated at the moment.
Even his eye sockets were a little red. He lost face and made Li Jiancheng's plan come to nothing. In all of this, Li Jiancheng just cut off his hair, and now he still respects and trusts him, which made Xue Wanche very excited.
Xue Wanche clasped his fists and said, "Young general, I will go all out."
Li Jiancheng said: "Xue Qing, the soldiers in the army need you to appease them. The loss is so huge this time, and the morale of the army is easy to fluctuate. So your task is to appease them and let them cheer up for the next battle. Let them , sharpen the spirit, have the fighting spirit of revenge and revenge, and cannot sink here."
"yes!"
Xue Wanche cupped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the task will be completed in the end."
Li Jiancheng said: "Go!"
"yes!"
After Xue Wanche agreed, he turned and retreated.
After Xue Wanche withdrew, Li Jiancheng returned to his seat. His drunkenness at this moment has completely dissipated, and he has regained his calm and composure.
Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and asked, "Xuancheng, how is the prince doing?"
Wei Zheng said: "The prince is wise!"
There was a smile on Li Jiancheng's face. He didn't delay any longer, and arranged for someone to invite Li Shimin to discuss the matter. Because next, to arrange to send troops to crusade against Liu Heitai, this requires Li Shimin to come forward.
In the tent of King Qin.
Li Shimin and Du Qi sat opposite each other.
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Erlang, Xue Wanche has returned. He brought 30,000 elites, but only 6,000 people came back. In this battle, more than 24,000 people were lost. My son from Tang Dynasty is Such a funeral."
Du Qidao: "This is impossible."
Li Shimin nodded, and said: "According to your inference, after Xue Wanche's defeat, the next step is to let me go. I guess I will arrange for me to attack Liu Heita. But what do you think about the attack?"
Du Qi said with a smile: "Even if Your Highness doesn't talk about it, I will talk about it."
Li Shimin said: "I would like to hear the details."
Du Qidao: "This is an opportunity for His Royal Highness King Qin."
Li Shimin said: "What opportunity?"
A gleam flashed in Du Qi's eyes, and he said: "Li Jiancheng failed this battle, so His Royal Highness Qin Wang was needed to fight. However, His Royal Highness Qin Wang used the excuse that the soldiers in the army had just attacked Mingshui County, and said that the combat power was insufficient, and only with this little force in hand , it is difficult to win."
"Based on Li Jiancheng's mind, he will definitely ask His Highness what request he has, just ask it."
"When the time comes, His Highness will request that Li Xiaogong and Liu Hongji join the battle. As long as the two return to King Qin's command, their strength will be restored."
"Even if it can't be restored to its heyday, at least His Highness has a team."
"This is Your Highness's chance."
Du Qi said: "Haggle over the price and bring back the people who were stripped out one by one. If Li Jiancheng disagrees, His Highness will also excuse that the combat power is insufficient and it is difficult to participate in the war."
"Wonderful!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin had a bright smile on his face.
Indeed.
This is an excellent opportunity to bargain.
"Report!"
At this time, Li Shimin's personal soldiers entered again and reported: "Your Highness, the crown prince has arranged for someone to deliver the news. Please go to the Chinese army's tent immediately to discuss the matter."
"knew."
Li Shimin waved his hand, and the soldiers retreated.
Li Shimin said: "Erlang, talk about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive. If so, this king will go away once."
Du Qidao: "The boy is waiting for the good news of King Qin."
Li Shimin nodded, put on his armor, and left the tent of the Chinese army to go to the tent of the prince. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
