After receiving the letter and looking at it, Jie Li looked extremely ugly and cursed secretly that Xiao Rui was too difficult to deal with. You pretended to be dead and escaped and just hid it. Why do you dare to come out and block my way with 3,000 people? Such a blatant provocation...
Zhao Deyan said in a low voice: "Khan, be careful. Xiao Rui is unrivaled in the world in terms of his military strength. Removing the heads of enemy generals from the midst of thousands of troops is like picking out an object from a bag. I only caught him once, so... it's better not to see him."
Jie Li's face darkened, "I'm missing? Doesn't missing mean that I'm afraid of this little kid with a bad mouth? Just let three thousand of his men block our way? Then let's not fight this battle. We'll all retreat to the royal court and Dingxiang." Give the city to them."
Zhao Deyan said with a smile: "Why don't you reply to him? Our 30,000, no, 50,000 troops will meet with the Xuanjia Army. If they can survive, then they can agree to see him."
Fifty thousand versus three thousand? No matter how you look at it, it is a cowardly price reduction behavior.
Jieli waved his hand and said: "No need. Since he dares to visit openly, he just wants to suppress our morale and will not do stupid things like assassination. Let him come. I have been in charge of the Turks for many years. If I am frightened by a doll, I will still How can we quarrel with the King of Tang? Send an order, set up camp on the spot, and allow the Xuanjia Army to come and pay homage."
This...obeys the order!
Zhao Deyan stopped trying to persuade him. He really wanted to say that Xiao Rui never acted according to common sense, but at this moment Jieli had made up his mind and he would be scolded if he talked any more.
After receiving the reply, the Xuanjia Army marched forward neatly.
Zhang Shigui said worriedly: "Master Marquis, do we also want to enter the camp? Once we are surrounded by the enemy, if something unexpected happens, it will be difficult to break out. Why don't General Zhai and I lead the troops and wait outside? In this way, even if something unexpected happens, we can't break out." Able to rush into the rescue."
Xiao Rui smiled, "Come into the rescue? Three thousand versus eighty thousand? These 80,000 are the elite cavalry of the Turkic Royal Court, not Dou Jiande's 100,000 infantry. In such a formation, are you inside or outside the circle? It doesn't matter. difference."
"Staying outside the circle will show cowardice, so why not follow them in generously and observe the enemy up close? This time the battle is all about courage, and whoever shows cowardice will lose. Have you read the Three Kingdoms I wrote? Do you know about the Empty City Strategy? "
Ahem...
Zhang Shigui nodded quickly, "I have read it. Your book Three Kingdoms is now regarded as the second sacred book of Sun Tzu's Art of War by us military leaders. Usually, military books are obscure and difficult to understand, but your book is interesting and easy to understand. Reading it feels like being there, and the general also learned a lot of good tricks from it, and I want to try it out in this battle."
Zhai Changsun agreed: "Yes, those who do not read the Three Kingdoms are not considered good generals in the Tang Dynasty. The book is strictly controlled by Your Majesty. Only the transcripts are given to loyal ministers and generals who have meritorious service, and they are not allowed to be passed on to the outside world. However, those who leak the secrets will Immediately behead without mercy."
Xiao Rui's ears felt hot when he heard it. Three people became tigers. How could a novel be so magical? Why is Sun Tzu's Art of War second? I'm afraid Mr. Luo Guanzhong wouldn't dare to think of such a high evaluation. These people are so flattering.
While walking and chatting, the Turkic camp was soon in front of us. Looking at the rigorous camp and the size of the welcoming teams on both sides, Xiao Rui couldn't help but sigh, Jie Li is indeed a person, and his bearing is still like that of a king.
Zhao Deyan stood at the gate of the camp to greet them, "Turkic military advisor Zhao Deyan, on behalf of His Majesty the Khan, welcomes the generals of the Xuanjia Army. Everyone, please dismount and follow Zhao into the account."
Everyone got off their horses, Xiao Rui laughed and walked at the front, "Commander Zhao, we meet again, don't you recognize me, Xiao Rui?"
Um? Xiao Rui?
A name was passed so clearly to the ears of the welcoming team at the gate of the camp. Everyone looked here. Some people had participated in the Battle of Yumen Pass last time and had seen Xiao Rui with their own eyes. At this time, they almost left the battle. Fall down immediately.
The entire welcoming team was restless and even began to whisper, it was him, the murderous devil Xiao Rui...
It’s over…confirmed. At first, the Great Khan sent someone to explain that the Tang Dynasty was setting up a false flag and deliberately frightened us. What to say now? I have met a real person, is this still fake?
Zhao Deyan looked unhappy and said: "Who are you? How dare you pretend to be the Champion of the Tang Dynasty? The Champion is dead and everyone knows it. Although Zhao was defeated by the Champion, he admires the Lord in his heart and will never allow anyone to Such false slander. Where are General Zhang Shigui and General Zhai Changsun of the Xuanjia Army? We, the Great Khan, are here to invite you!"
Um? What the hell does this mean?
Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was playing me.
"Commander Zhao, who said that I, Xiao Rui, am dead? Rumor!"
Zhang Shigui and Zhai Changsun came forward and loudly echoed: "Commander Zhao, we are here to meet sincerely. How dare you be so rude to my Marquis? This person is indeed none other than Hou Xiaorui, the champion of the Tang Dynasty. "
Zhao Deyan quickly approached Xiao Rui and lowered his voice and said: "Master Hou, if you don't want to see the prince killed and sacrificed to the flag, you'd better cooperate. If you dare to disturb the morale of our army, everyone will die."
puff……
Xiao Rui almost laughed out loud. How come these threatening words are so funny when you say them like this? Are you blackmailing me or begging me? It seems that the Turks are afraid of me.
Hahaha...good thing. If it weren't for my bluffing and lack of martial arts skills, I really wouldn't be acting with you today. Now...you play me, I play you, it's okay to cooperate with each other. Alas, it’s all because of this cheater Li Chengqian! Such a cheating prince should have been deposed a long time ago. With his luck alone, he is not suitable for being a prince.
What the hell is going on, asking me, Xiao Rui, to pretend to be Xiao Rui? Jieli, you guys are so shameless.
Patting Zhao Deyan on the shoulder, Xiao Rui lowered his voice and warned: "Okay, I don't mind exposing you. You owe me a favor. You have to speak to me later. Today's things can't be done, so everyone breaks up. Stop playing."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Deyan to agree, Xiao Rui laughed, "What's that? I thought I was pretending to be similar enough, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape the eyes of Military Advisor Zhao. My Lord Marquis has no skills and didn't come today. "
You...you should say he's dead. Zhao Deyan rolled his eyes and secretly scolded Xiao Rui for not practicing martial ethics.
Xiao Rui returned the favor, but I won't tolerate you. I don't have your script in hand, so why should I listen to you?
Zhang Shigui, Zhai Changsun and others looked at Xiao Rui in confusion.
Xiao Rui winked and said: "Two generals, let's check in. Don't keep Jieli Khan waiting."
Mr. Hou...
"For the sake of the prince's safety, please feel aggrieved for now. Let's put it into account later."
So under the leadership of Zhao Deyan, Zhang Shigui, Zhai Changsun, Li Junxian, Fang Yiai, and Xiao Rui entered the big tent.
It was only then that the Turkic soldiers who greeted the guests outside breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay, okay. I was scared to death. Did I think it was Xiao Rui? The person who has been making trouble for a long time is a fake who looks very much like him. Thanks to the military advisor's sharp eyesight, Xiao Rui would have been in trouble.
"That's right, the Tang people are really insidious. They deliberately raised a flag and sent a fake one to scare us..."
"That's not right. Didn't the Great Khan say that Xiao Rui had been assassinated? What did the fake say just now? The real Xiao Rui was too busy and didn't come today? Does that mean Xiao Rui is not dead yet?"
"Who is telling the truth?"
"Tell me, is it possible that Xiao Rui just now is real?"
…
