"Just now I heard that in the main tent, it seemed that only the chief was giving orders the whole time. The others didn't even say anything. Can't this be called a military meeting? When we were lurking in the Tang Army's camp, as subordinates People have watched them hold military conferences several times. But their military conferences can really be called military conferences. Whether it is the general strategy or the strategies of the generals, they are all discussed very lively, and they also have detailed Map." Having said this, Ye Qingcheng paused slightly, and then said: "I'm not afraid of offending the chief. Your so-called military meeting can only be said to be a gathering of a bunch of northern barbarians."
Although Li Huaixiu's eyes flashed coldly, it was rare for someone to dare to speak like this in front of him, but he soon regained his composure. After all, no matter how hard he tried, he would not dare to be so presumptuous in front of Ye Qingcheng and the others. Although they won't kill him, if they really make them angry, it won't be worth it if they just cast any poison and let him die slowly in a few months. He had heard that the disciples of the Tang Sect had more tricks than anyone else. Although most of them were good at using hidden weapons, there were also many heretics, and he had to be on guard against them.
But he only needs to make these two guys happy, and then there should be no problem. Disciples from famous sects like Ye Qingcheng and others generally have high vanity, and he can make them happy with just some coaxing.
"That's it, that's it. Compared with Brother Li and Brother Zhao, aren't we just a group of barbarians on the grassland? You have to understand that our culture is underdeveloped, so the people are relatively rude and cannot develop. Being strong can only The army can be formed by multiplying the young and strong, and can become stronger by plundering the Han people. By then, after we have ruled the Han people, we will make the Han people our subjects. In this case, it will not matter if we have no culture ourselves. "
Li Huaixiu's words made Huan Chenyu feel quite disdainful, and even sneered, which made Li Huaixiu feel a little embarrassed, but they didn't know that in the future history that was supposed to go, someone would actually implement the plan he just planned. It was completed and ruled the Central Plains for hundreds of years.
However, due to the intervention of Ye Qingcheng and others, as well as the entry of some uncontrollable factors into the mortal world, the history that was supposed to happen has been greatly deviated, and the future has long been unpredictable. Even Taishang Laojun's rumored top treasure, the Heavenly Chakra, was directly destroyed. It can be seen that no one can predict the future, but it can still be done to change it.
"Okay, you don't need to compliment us. I also know that you want to attack the Tang Army's camp tonight. The two of us came here just to ask you, how much do you plan to give the rest of the reward? Now that Li Yanchong has been eliminated, what's the point? Naturally, two thousand five hundred guans cannot be enough to solve the problem." Seeing that Li Huaixiu was about to speak, Ye Qingcheng quickly waved his hand to stop him. Because Xicang was burned, the Xiqi coalition did not have much food and grass, so they could not delay for too long. In any case, they would only start a decisive battle with the Tang army in one or two days.
"This, this, we really didn't bring too much property with us on this expedition, not enough to pay for the two of us, but I can guarantee that I can definitely afford a thousand taels of gold, but I won't be able to pay for it until this battle is over. It will be deducted from the captured supplies of the Tang Army."
A look of disappointment flashed in Ye Qingcheng's eyes. It was exactly as he expected. Li Huaixiu really didn't have that much money. Although he was afraid of the Tang Clan, he would definitely keep his promise and wait until the war was over before paying. But the prerequisite was to win the battle. Both he and Huan Chenyu knew that no matter how the battle was fought, the only thing waiting for Li Huaixiu would be the end of the entire army being annihilated. In other words, this promise could not be paid.
Sure enough, as he expected, there was no gas or water to be gained on this trip.
But just when he felt a little disappointed, Li Huaixiu suddenly said: "But I have an opinion. I don't know what you two think."
"Oh? Let's talk about it?" Ye Qingcheng didn't know what Li Huaixiu was thinking, but he could still make suggestions. Wasn't there no money in him?
"Since you two have guessed that we will attack the Tang Army's camp tonight, I won't hide it from you. It is indeed the case. And I just suddenly thought that if you two join us, our attack will be smoother. So. With the skills of the two of you, if you specialize in killing the heads of enemy generals in the army and making them lose control, then they are no different than lambs waiting to be slaughtered."
Ye Qingcheng stretched out his palm and seemed to refuse: "Great Chief, let's not say that we are both Han people. Although we have killed Wang Zhongsi and are not qualified to say so, we can no longer attack our compatriots. And you Have you forgotten that even if we can really get rid of the Tang Army generals who are commanding you, the individual combat capabilities of your Xiqi coalition are far inferior to those of the Tang Army, even if it is a night attack, why do you have such confidence?"
"Who said we have to fight the Tang army alone?" Li Huaixiu asked with a smile.
Ye Qingcheng and Huan Chenyu were stunned. They couldn't help but think of some secret weapon that Li Huaixiu had mentioned before. Could it be that it was something that could allow the cavalry to cross the river? Moreover, the upper reaches of the Sanggan River are indeed not very deep. Although people's legs cannot step on the bottom of the river, it is only a few feet short. If preparations are made in advance, it is indeed possible for the cavalry to cross the river.
In this way, the cavalry, the Xiqi Alliance's greatest advantage, will be able to be brought into full play. Even if the Tang army sets up an ambush in advance, it will probably fall into a bitter battle. After all, the cavalry combat effectiveness of the Xi Qi coalition is terrifyingly high. Once they cross the river and rush into the Tang army's camp, things will be very troublesome. Even if they win in the end, there will probably be many casualties.
Although the Tang army claimed to have a total of 200,000, and they were all cavalry specially mobilized by Li Longji, in fact they only had more than 100,000 cavalry, and the rest were infantry. Moreover, the combat effectiveness and quality of the cavalry were even worse. There are a lot of these Northern Yi people. In addition, they arranged an ambush battle. In addition to attacking the Hexi Army behind the Xi Qi coalition, the Tang Army in the Tang Army's camp should also engage in infantry combat. In this case, the advantage of the cavalry would be lost.
This immediately made Ye Qingcheng anxious. He had to send this information back to the Tang Army camp. In this case, he wanted to find an excuse to send Li Huaixiu away.
"Great Chief, forgive me for not agreeing. This time we were hired by you to assassinate Wang Zhongsi, who will already be despised by thousands of people. We can't add another level to the crime. No matter how high you increase the reward, it will be useless. ."
Li Huaixiu was not surprised when he heard this. He had already imagined various situations that would happen when he learned that the two of them were waiting outside the camp. He also expected that the two of them would refuse. among.
"If after I go south to the Central Plains, I am willing to do my best to help the Tang Sect, let the Tang Sect develop at its fullest, and even bring the Central Plains martial arts into the Tang Sect's sphere of influence, how about this reward?"
