In the Xi Qi coalition camp, deep in the Xi tribe camp opposite the Khitan camp, in the main tent of the Xi tribe chief Huaixin King Li Yanchong, countless servants came in and out, busy packing Li Yanchong's luggage and belongings. Around the camp, there were countless Xi clan warriors glaring angrily at every servant who walked in and out, wanting to see if there were any unfamiliar faces.
In the main account, Li Yanchong was sitting on his throne. For the first time, he was not sitting with his concubine. Instead, he kept shaking his feet and asking the attendants around him if they were ready. It could be seen that He was very anxious, even vaguely afraid, and could only cover up his inner fear by shaking his legs.
He is surrounded by more than a dozen of his most trusted servants. These people are all highly skilled and have been with him for a long time. There is no possibility of Li Huaixiu's spies.
If he said he wasn't afraid, it would be a lie. Before, Li Huaixiu entertained those Tang disciples alone, and he was a little gloating about his misfortune. He planned to see if this guy would be willing to spend five thousand guan to hire these Han people who didn't know the details, but he didn't. Thinking that they actually killed Wang Zhongsi, and according to the intelligence from the spies he planted, the Tang Army camp was now in chaos, and it was divided into several forces fighting for the position of commander.
He really didn't expect those guys to succeed. It seemed that the Tang Sect was indeed well-deserved. This was a great opportunity to attack the Tang Army. But he didn't expect that at this moment, he received the news that Li Huaixiu had bribed the Tang Sect disciples to come and kill him. . This really made him unable to sit still. These disciples of the Tang Sect were able to penetrate into an army of 200,000 and kill the commander-in-chief Wang Zhongsi. Doesn't it mean that it would be even easier to kill him, Li Yanchong, in the same camp? Not to mention that the quality of their Xiqi coalition forces was much worse than that of the Tang army, and their military strength was far from comparable to that of the Tang army.
After finding out that these Tang disciples were resting in Li Huaixiu's tent, he gritted his teeth and finally gave up the idea of taking the opportunity to attack the Tang army. Instead, he began to mobilize his troops to prepare to withdraw to Raole, which was the base camp of the Xi tribe. Their tents were also nearby. If the Tang army wanted to pursue them, their losses would not be small.
At this moment, in addition to fear, he also had hatred for Li Huaixiu. If it weren't for Li Huaixiu, how would he be where he is today? He felt like a mirror in his mind. The Tang army nominally wanted to conquer him, but in fact they wanted to take the opportunity to defeat the Khitan, which had risen in recent years. Li Huaixiu vigorously developed the military, and now had tens of thousands of armored men, which had caused Li Longji to have extreme feelings. There was a sense of crisis, and Li Yanchong went to Beijing to report on his duties from time to time, and even had the title of King Huaixin. Even if he wanted to fight, he would fight Li Huaixiu first. How could he get his turn.
It's just that he has also developed military affairs, and it is true that the Xi clan's strength has greatly increased. He cannot deny this, so when the Tang army came, he admitted defeat. And Li Huaixiu was also quite cunning. He knew very well that Li Longji's target was actually him, so he was willing to use all his troops to join forces with him to attack the Tang army. But only today did he realize that Li Huaixiu was so cruel that he actually He had the idea of his army, and even wanted to kill him and replace him. Not only would he be able to get his army, but also let the Xi people take the lead. In this case, if they could not defeat the Tang army, their Khitan casualties would be minimized. Not only that, After returning, the Khitan could even annex the Xi clan. This was Li Huaixiu's real purpose.
No matter what he said, he would not let that guy succeed, but even though he hated Li Huaixiu so much in his heart, he had to admit that Li Huaixiu was an excellent chief. The Khitan could reach this point all because of Li Huaixiu, otherwise it would have been long ago He perished under the repeated suppression of Youzhou Jiedushi. I think you, Li Huaixiu, are too good. He is often compared with Li Huaixiu. Apart from his title, he really has nothing to compare with that guy. It’s like Li Huaixiu is jealous of his title. , he was also jealous of Li Huaixiu's reputation.
"Are you okay yet?" Not long after the last inquiry, he finally couldn't help but ask the most trusted attendant around him.
Although he was quite irritable in his heart, this guy did not dare to show it on his face, and quickly and respectfully replied: "Please wait a moment, Chief, they will be finished soon."
In fact, everyone knows that it is precisely because of the idea of comparison that Li Yanchong brought a lot of things with him on this expedition. His main tent was as luxurious as that of Li Huaixiu not far away, and the interior decoration was even poorer. He was extremely extravagant, as if he wanted people to know that his wealth surpassed that of Li Huaixiu. It was precisely for this reason that these servants couldn't pack it up quickly. There were too many and too many things, and Li Yanchong was reluctant to throw them away. They really didn't know what to say.
"If the chief is really worried, why don't we recruit five hundred warriors of the Xi tribe, plus us servants, to escort the chief back to Raole first, and your luggage will arrive later. Do you think this is okay?" The waiter couldn't stand Li Yanchong's constant questioning, so he made a smart suggestion.
These close servants were actually very scared, because once those Tang disciples really came to kill them, they would be the first to die. Because both Li Huaixiu and Li Yanchong had spies planted in the Tang army, they also learned from Li Yanchong's personal pet. I heard from my concubine about their assassination of Wang Zhongsi. I heard that more than ten of them had sneaked into the Tang army camp for several days. They took action when they found an opportunity a few days ago. Several of Wang Zhongsi's shadow guards and soldiers were directly killed by them. Kill, the leader of the shadow guard was held hostage by them, and he used it to escape from the Tang army camp. They also killed the guy when they approached the river bank here. It was really cruel and ruthless. Moreover, they have also heard many people talking about how these Tang Sect disciples arrived at the dock unscathed under the rain of arrows from the Tang army. Some of them even withstood the rain of arrows with just one hand. Such people, If they were to be killed, would they be able to resist? I'm afraid not, but these Tang Sect disciples want to kill Li Yanchong. If they don't try their best to protect him, even if Li Yanchong dies, they will not survive either. Either way, they will all die.
"What? Do you mean to say that I, the chief, am afraid?" Li Yanchong suddenly exposed himself, slammed the table and shouted.
All the attendants felt their hearts pounding, and cast complaining glances at the guy just now. Is it possible for Li Yanchong to leave like this? The more he provoked the general, the less effective he was. Now they might all be doomed. These guys couldn't help but feel a little desperate.
And the guy also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and buried his head lower, not even daring to speak out.
