Luo Fei didn't expect to be ambushed by this young man again. If he was caught this time, Liu Qi would not spare him.
"Hahaha, everyone in our Luo family is a hero and we are not afraid of death."
In despair, he laughed instead. He was going to die anyway, so it would be better to be more generous and still retain a bit of prestige.
Unwilling to suffer the humiliation of being captured again, Luo Li raised his knife and killed himself while laughing.
The Baijie soldiers had been preparing for a long time, and the hook rope was thrown out again, catching Luo Hai's arm, and tied it with three strokes, five divided by two.
"What a strong man!" Chen Feng picked up the shield on the ground and complained: "General Liu is waiting for the king in the tent. If you commit suicide, how can I get back to life?"
Luo Fei said in astonishment: "Liu Qi is waiting for me?"
Chen Feng smiled and said: "General Liu has already expected that you will attack the camp, and has been waiting for a long time!"
Luo Li remembered what happened in the camp just now and asked in surprise: "How did Liu Qi know that I would come?"
Chen Feng smiled and said: "General Liu has long seen that you are not sincere in surrendering, and you deliberately sent orders to hold a banquet to celebrate your victory. It was just a bait, and you, the snapper, really took the bait."
Luo Fei snorted coldly: "Liu Qi is so despicable and suspicious. He is not worthy of my loyalty at all."
Chen Feng sneered and said: "If you were sincere, how could you easily agree to persuade King Ba to surrender? If the other kings opposed it, they would be killed. Even I can see such clumsy tricks, let alone General Liu?" He was just following a trick, if you didn't come, how could you have been caught by me again?"
"Hmph, you Han people are so cunning!" Luo Fei said coldly: "But our seven surnames work together and only follow the orders of King Ba and the guidance of the Tiger God. What does Liu Qi mean?"
Chen Feng said: "General Liu is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the direct grandson of the great ancestor. He is determined to revive the Han Dynasty. This is enough!"
Luo Li laughed and said: "I am only loyal to the Tiger God. I will kill him if I want. The warriors of the Ba people are never afraid of death."
Chen Fengyan said: "Have you ever heard that General Liu is kind and loving to the people and never kills prisoners? What's more, your ancestors have made contributions to the Han Dynasty, how can you kill the heroes?"
Luo Li was startled and fell into silence. Chen Feng said again: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Your ancestors were so wise that they were able to achieve the glory of the seven-surname royal family. Now General Liu has also given you a chance. If you make the same mistake again and again, you will be Falling into a place of no return.”
As he spoke, he had already arrived outside the camp. Chen Feng untied his bonds and said, "There are still many prisoners in the camp. Your Majesty is the chief of the tribe after all. I will save you some face. I hope you will take care of yourself!"
Luo Lei snorted slightly and moved his arms. He saw two rows of soldiers standing in front of him, holding torches, swords and guns at the same time. He puffed out his chest and moved forward proudly.
Liu Qi had been waiting outside the tent, clasping his fists and smiling: "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for a long time! The banquet is ready in the tent, please come in quickly!"
Luo Fei had a cold face and did not answer. He stepped into the tent first and saw no one inside. As expected, there was a plate of wine and meat.
Liu Qi then came in and laughed and said: "This battle is a great victory, thanks to the king's contribution."
Luo Kai turned around and glared at Liu Qi: "If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please. Why bother?"
Liu Qi smiled and said: "What did your Majesty say? This wine is indeed prepared for Your Majesty, please!"
Luo Li thought that he was going to die anyway, so he might as well eat and drink enough to go on the road. He walked straight to the table and sat down, took a big sip of wine, grabbed the chicken drumstick and started to chew on it.
Liu Qi was unhurried and sat opposite to persuade him diligently. He did not talk about surrendering and sending troops. He only praised the glory of the Ba people with seven surnames who followed their ancestors to pacify the Three Qin Dynasties.
When asked about Luo's achievements, Luo Li couldn't help but talk about it. This was a story passed down orally from their ancestors. Hearing it from his mother's womb was not only the honor of his ancestors, but also to inspire future generations. He talked endlessly as soon as he opened his mouth.
The two of them talked about it until dawn. Luo Hai was full of wine and food, but still had some unfinished thoughts. However, Liu Qi still had military affairs to attend to, so he personally sent him out of the camp gate, handed him back his weapon and let him leave.
Luo Fei asked doubtfully: "You...won't kill me?"
"No matter what, if our ancestors have contributed to our great Han Dynasty, and if they kill them, who will be willing to serve the Han Dynasty again? I only hope that after the king returns, you and I will not meet each other in front of the battle, and the younger generations will kill each other. I think you and our ancestors will Even under the Nine Springs, I don’t want to see it.”
Liu Qi sighed with emotion and turned back to the camp without waiting for Luo Li's reply.
Luo Li stood for a moment while the Jingzhou army killed his cronies and clansmen, but finally refused to serve willingly and headed up the mountain.
After two major defeats, he felt that he had no face to go to see Ba Wang. Now he was alone. Feeling discouraged, he returned directly to the clan through the road.
Liu Qi returned to the camp and saw that Luo Li had no intention of repenting. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and went to the next tent.
Gong Xi sat there with a gloomy face and cursed in a low voice: "Son of a turtle!"
Listening to the conversation between the two, it was obvious that Luo Kai and Liu Qi had known each other for a long time, and they were not sneaking into the enemy camp as mentioned before. Thinking about the fight just now, Luo Kai actually ran faster than a rabbit, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.
Liu Qi smiled and said: "The king must have seen what happened just now. The Luo family has sincerely surrendered and is ready to help me re-establish the Han Dynasty. Why does the king have any doubts?"
Gong Xi said coldly: "The dog thief Luo Snapper betrayed the Tiger God, he will not die a good death!"
After being captured last night, Liu Qi told Gong Xi that Luo Li had actually surrendered a long time ago and deliberately returned to Guanzhong to lure out the defenders and help the Jingzhou army win the pass, and persuaded him to surrender as soon as possible.
Gong Xi was doubtful. He listened to them talking and saw from the window how polite Liu Qi was to them, welcoming them and seeing them off. He couldn't help but not believe it.
Liu Qi said: "To help the Han is to comply with the will of God. If you help the Zhou to abuse, you will be punished by the tiger god. Otherwise, how can the seven surnames have the privilege of black tiger and gold patterns? If you persist in your stubbornness, when the Luo family grows stronger in the future, the royal family of the seven surnames will have to just The only one left is the King of Ba forever!"
The Ba people consider themselves to be a tribe of tigers and use the white tiger as their totem. After the seven surnames performed meritorious services, Liu Bang specially gave the warriors of the seven tribes the imperial black color and a black tiger with gold patterns as a shield to distinguish them from ordinary Ba people soldiers.
Gong Xi fought this battle in confusion and was dissatisfied. He secretly resented Luo Li for betraying his people and wanted to go back to settle the score.
After some thought, he stood up and said, "The seven surnames of the Ba people have long had their ancestral precepts, and they have been loyal to the Han Dynasty for generations. Since the general is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, his subordinates are willing to follow him."
Liu Qi ordered people to hold a new banquet and asked Yan Pu to send people to entertain the captives, inform them again of Zhang Lu's order, and persuade them to go back and persuade their tribesmen not to be deceived by Zhang Wei and cause great disaster.
Liu Qi was overjoyed and handed back Gong Xi's cavalry equipment and released the prisoners together with him, agreeing to light a fire at the gate three days later as a sign of merit.
After Gong Xi left, Yan Pu asked: "Gong Xi has a deeper city than Zhi Luo. If the general puts him back, I'm afraid he won't come again."
Liu Qi smiled and said: "Don't I know that Gong Xi has no intention of surrender? It's just a favor, and it will give the hero a chance to change his mind. If he repented, it would be great. If he still persists, don't blame me for not remembering the old relationship. Now that Gong Xi is gone, it’s time for Luo Xiao to die!”
Yan Pu was suddenly enlightened and praised: "The general really has a clever plan. In this way, the tribes of the seven surnames will definitely be at odds. Once they are suspicious of each other, it will not be difficult to break it!"
