Du Qi sits here, and more than 80,000 elites under his command are also here. Du Qi's mission this time is very simple, to stop Li Shimin's army, and even seize the opportunity to destroy Li Shimin's army.
The army lined up, and they had already dug trenches and built fortifications with the help of the mountains along the Changbai slope. It was almost impossible for Li Shimin's army to kill them. At the moment Du Qi is hiding from the sun under a tree. After all, the weather in July is still quite hot.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, a sentry came galloping.
The whistle came to Du Qi's side and reported: "Your Majesty, Li Shimin's army is about to arrive at Changbaipo."
Du Qi nodded, and waved his hand to let the whistle back.
After the sentinel retreated, Du Qi immediately gave the order to prepare for the battle. All the soldiers who need to participate in the battle on the mountain are already for you quickly, and the follow-up soldiers are stationed at the other end of Changbai Slope so that they can participate in the battle at any time.
Du Qi also waited quietly.
Time passed little by little, and soon after, a soldier reported that someone was approaching.
Du Qi picked up the binoculars and looked at the official road in the distance.
At the farthest point of sight of the telescope, about seven or eight hundred steps away, Du Qi has already seen the figure appearing. At such a distance, the current telescope can't see it clearly, but can only see it roughly.
Tang Jun continued to move forward.
When the distance was shortened to four or five hundred steps, Du Qi was able to clearly see Tang Jun's situation through the telescope. The mighty Tang army advanced rapidly, but when it was about two hundred steps away from the advance, it had already reached the foot of Changbaipo Mountain, and the Tang army stopped advancing and stationed in place.
In the Tang army's formation, there was Gao Shilian who volunteered to fight.
Gao Shilian came out with the detained merchants from the Xia Kingdom, and arrived at the foot of the mountain about a hundred steps away. He raised his head, stared at the mountain, and shouted: "Where is Du Qi?"
Du Qidao: "Gao Shilian, what do you want to say when you come to see me?"
Gao Shilian said: "Du Qi, have you seen the people around me? These people are all businessmen from the Xia Kingdom. Their life and death now are all in your hands. You immediately lead your army to withdraw from Shazhou and Guazhou , go back to the territory of your country of Xia. Then all the merchants of the country of Xia will be released, and their lives will not be endangered. If you insist on going to war, then the lives of the merchants of your country of Xia will be in danger. Now their lives and deaths are at stake. It's in your hands, how do you decide?"
"Hahaha¡¡"
Du Qi laughed when he heard it.
In the laughter, there was even more disdain.
In the laughter, there was even more contempt.
Gao Shilian sneered and said, "Du Qi, what's so funny about this?"
Du Qi said: "What I'm laughing at is, is Datang threatening like this before every war now? Last time, when Li Shimin and I fought in Guazhou, Li Shimin threatened people's lives like this. This time, Li Shimin didn't go forward by himself. Come, but let you threaten me with a businessman from Xia Kingdom. It seems that Li Shimin also cherishes feathers, and he is unwilling to come out on his own! Gao Shilian, it is really shameful for a war to be reduced to the threat of people's lives!"
Li Shimin is at the rear.
And it is located in the crowd, so it is not easy to be found.
This is to avoid being bombed.
His cheeks also twitched slightly, because Du Qi's words really made him lose face. He was indeed considering his face, so he didn't go in person, but let Gao Shilian speak out.
Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Yu Shinan said with relief: "Your Majesty, don't pay attention to Du Qi's words, he just said that on purpose to hit you. If you are affected, then you have been tricked. This is a fight on the battlefield. As long as you can win, there is nothing you can't do. The final result is written by the winner. If I, Tang Jun, were defeated, Du Qi would do his best to smear us. If Du Qi lost, we also want to control it If you want to control public opinion, you can manipulate public opinion.¡±
Li Shimin nodded and said, "I know."
Even though Li Shimin knew it, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. After all, Li Shimin was also a very proud person.
Today, this method is used.
However, Gao Shilian did not have the burden of Li Shimin. He heard Du Qi's reply, and shouted: "Du Qi, don't use your tongue. If you have the ability, or blow me up directly, and take all The merchants of the Xia Kingdom were also killed. Or, you immediately withdraw your troops and make way for the road. Otherwise, all the merchants of the Xia Kingdom will die."
Du Qi said: "Gao Shilian, the threat isUseless. I am not threatened. If you want to kill Tang, I can't stop you. But I can clearly tell you that you can't afford my revenge for slaughtering the merchants of our Xia Kingdom. You slaughtered the merchants of my country of Xia. Once the Great Tang is defeated, I will capture you, and people will cut you into pieces and shatter your bones into ashes. "
In fact, this situation is difficult for Du Qi to handle.
According to Du Qi's original intention, Gao Shilian's threat was such that Gao Shilian died in one shot.
The problem is that Gao Shilian has businessmen from Xia Kingdom by his side.
These people will be affected.
At least, Du Qi can't let these people die in his hands.
So Du Qi chose a strong reply.
Gao Shilian was not afraid of Du Qi's threat at all, and said with a sneer, "Du Qi, you are really stubborn! Anyway, it's just a verbal confrontation right now, let me show you the real blood. Come on, Kill a Xia country merchant."
He ordered directly.
In the previous plan, he has full authority to make decisions.
Now that Du Qi wants to be tough, he will be tough.
Immediately, a soldier dragged a businessman from the Xia Kingdom out, but the businessman looked up at Changbaipo and shouted: "Your Majesty, take revenge, avenge the grassroots!"
Xia Guo merchants have the character of Xia Guo merchants.
Xia Guo was founded on business.
For Xia Guo, countless businessmen have a strong sense of belonging, because in Xia Guo, even though they are businessmen, they have never been despised or suppressed, but have enjoyed many benefits. So under this premise, businessmen respect Du Qi very much, especially Du Qi was also a businessman in the early years.
After Du Qi heard it, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhen, I will definitely avenge you."
"kill!"
Gao Shilian gritted his teeth and gave the order.
His original intention was to force Xia's businessmen to beg for mercy, and then kill Xia's businessmen. In this way, it was the most distressing scene for Du Qi. Unexpectedly, the merchants of the Xia Kingdom would rather die than beg for mercy, but asked Du Qi to take revenge.
The blade swung out, cutting the neck of the businessman from Xia Kingdom. After the blood splattered, the merchant's body slowly fell down, but the eyes he looked at Gao Shilian and the others were full of hatred.
Gao Shilian didn't even look at the dead businessman, and said again: "Du Qi, give way or not. This is just the beginning. If you don't give up Changbaipo and leave Guazhou, then all of these detained businessmen will live." No."
Du Qi said in a deep voice: "I will never give in."
Gao Shilian waved his hands again and ordered: "Pull the two out."
Immediately, two businessmen were pulled out.
These are two young people.
I am in my early twenties, and they are all doing business in Suzhou. Knowing the result, they were even more angry at Datang's cruelty, and both of them shouted for Du Qi to take revenge.
That shrill voice echoed in my ears.
The voice is extremely decisive.
Gao Shilian ignored the businessman's words, looked at Du Qi again, and shouted: "Du Qi, you are so hard-hearted. Do you really care about their life or death?"
Du Qi said: "I am not threatened."
Gao Shilian waved his hand and said, "Kill!"
Another soldier attacked outrageously, and the two businessmen were killed in an instant. Three bodies fell to the ground, forming a pool of blood. And the three corpses irritated the rest of the Xia merchants.
The merchants of Xia Kingdom were even more angry.
There are more than 30 other detainees, ranging from young to old.
In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, kill Gao Shilian, kill him, we are willing to die."
"Kill Gao Shilian!"
Someone else agreed.
"Kill Gao Shilian!"
"Please Your Majesty kill Gao Shilian!"
More and more people shouted, and finally more than 30 people shouted together. They are young and old, and some are old. But without exception, they all chose to shout, and no one begged for mercy.
Because they are from Xia Kingdom.
Xia people, don't give in. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
