Zhao Shan led the army on the road, getting closer and closer to Guzhu City.
The news of Zhao Shan's arrival was discovered by the sentry arranged by Tuo Bahong, and the news quickly spread back to Tuo Bahong's ears.
Tuoba Hong was confused.
In order to negotiate with Zhao Shan, Tuoba Hong had arranged for Murong Tao to go as an envoy. Why was there no response?
Under normal circumstances, the two armies were fighting without killing the envoy. Zhao Shan should have met Murong Tao no matter what. Why was there no news of Murong Tao's return, but only news of Murong Tao's disappearance?
With doubts, Tuoba Hong came to the tower and waited.
Tuoba Yanran also came.
She looked at her stubborn brother and persuaded: "Brother Emperor, you sent Murong Tao out to negotiate, but there was no news at all. On the contrary, Daqian's army came directly. I have already said that Zhao Shan is not threatened by anything and can fight head-on." It didn’t work out.”
Tuoba Hong snorted and said, "Little sister, if you can't speak, then don't speak."
Tuoba Yanran said: "Brother Emperor, if Daqian is just tyrannical, then fight when you have to, without thinking about anything. However, there are tens of thousands of prisoners in Daqian, as well as generals such as the emperor and Yu Wenxiong. Do you not care about this? Negotiations for war are naturally not conducive to us. If the losing side takes the initiative to negotiate, there will be no good results at all."
Tuoba Hong frowned deeply.
My heart sank even more.
However, Tuoba Hong was also stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat. He took the initiative and said: "Da Wei and Da Qian are different. Da Wei is united, and Da Qian has internal and external troubles. I don't think Zhao Shan can have any confidence."
"well……"
Tuoba Yanran sighed again.
Big brother is really stubborn.
Tuoba Yanran did not continue to talk to Tuoba Hong and waited quietly. It didn't take long before I saw a dark army coming outside the city.
The distance was getting closer and closer, and Zhao Shan's army came to form an array outside Guzhu City.
Zhao Shan rode his horse towards the city tower and said loudly: "Tuoba Hong, I am here in person. Your envoy Murong Tao will also return it to you."
Zhao Shan waved his hand, and the soldiers brought Murong Tao up and threw him directly to the ground.
Murong Tao lay on the ground, his body shaking with pain, like a dead dog. He grinned in pain and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am suffering, you have to make the decision for me."
Tuoba Hong saw Murong Tao's arms were limp and one of his legs was bloody, and his anger rose.
Zhao Shantai doesn't care about martial ethics.
He even insulted the envoy.
Tuoba Hong's eyes were cold and stern, and he said loudly: "Zhao Shan, you are going too far!"
Zhao Shan chuckled and said: "Tuoba Hong, are you having a problem with your brain being kicked by a donkey? Who is bullying others too much?"
"Who brazenly sent troops to invade my territory of Daqian; who arranged for people to sneak into Jixian County to assassinate me? You are also an emperor, why are you so indifferent to good and evil?"
"If you can't speak, don't speak. Just start a fight."
Zhao Shan's eyes turned cold and he waved his sleeves and said, "But before the battle, I will kill Tuoba Shao, Yu Wenxiong and others first."
hiss!
Tuoba Hong's pupils shrank.
Zhao Shanzhen was sharp-tongued and snarled him as soon as he opened his mouth.
Tuoba Hong was not one to admit defeat. He said forcefully: "If the two armies are fighting and don't kill the envoys, you humiliate the envoys of the Wei Dynasty. Is it the rule and etiquette of Daqian?"
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "I haven't killed Murong Tao yet. He is lying on the ground fine. What are you anxious about? Besides, Murong Tao is reckless and arrogant. It is normal for me to punish him with small punishments and big warnings. Otherwise, he doesn't know how high the sky is."
Tuoba Hong said angrily: "Murong Tao's arms were broken and one of his legs was broken. Is this a small punishment but a big punishment?"
"Is not it?"
Zhao Shan didn't take Murong Tao's matter to heart and said directly: "If I wanted to care about him, his head would have been moved."
Tuoba Hong said coldly: "You have such a loud tone."
Zhao Shan looked calm and contented, and continued: "I have such great confidence, do you want me to chop off a few heads to help you entertain? For example, people like Yu Wenxiong and Murong Tao are of no importance anyway, so I'll chop them off first. How about it?"
Tuoba Hong was suddenly speechless.
He instantly thought of Tuoba Yanran's words, Zhao Shan was really not threatened.
Too strong.
Tuoba Hong felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have let Tuoba Yanran negotiate, so that it would not be so difficult.
Now that things have come to this, Tuoba Hong will not change his ways, let alone admit that he made a mistake.
Tuoba Hong stopped talking to Zhao Shan about Murong Tao and Tuoba Shao, and said forcefully: "Zhao Shan, you insist on starting a war with me, but do you know the current situation in Daqian?"
Zhao Shan smiled softly and said: "What's the use of knowing? Is there any loss if you don't know? My only purpose is to defeat you first."
"You can't make it."
Tuoba Hong had a strong attitude and said loudly: "There are internal and external troubles, but you are always my enemy. You can't stand it. I have deployed more than 30,000 elites in Guzhu City. If you want to destroy Guzhu City, there is no way It’s impossible to do it with more than 100,000 troops.”
"I will defend Lone Bamboo City, all your plans will be useless."
“You’re going to get into trouble instead.”
"If I were you, I would give it up as soon as possible and return to the DPRK immediately to solve the domestic problems in Daqian."
Tuoba Hong said loudly: "This is your only chance. If you miss this opportunity, you will be doomed."
Zhao Shan clicked his tongue and said: "I really don't want to pay attention to your argument. There are people who can deal with the domestic situation, so I don't need to worry."
"If you want to fight to the death, that's fine."
"So much nonsense, a waste of my time. Come, chop off Murong Tao's head first."
Zhao Shan gave the order.
To intimidate Tuoba Hong, using ordinary methods is useless, you must show sufficiently ruthless methods.
The soldier stepped forward and slashed with his sword.
puff!
Blood splattered.
Murong Tao's head fell to the ground, and his body fell completely to the ground. There was disbelief and shock in those eyes till death.
how so?
They had already returned to Lone Bamboo City, why were they killed?
When Tuoba Hong saw Zhao Shan killing as many times as he wanted, like a madman, his eyes widened and his body couldn't help but tremble.
How dare Zhao Shan?
How dare you kill someone directly?
Tuobahong was skilled in power and had mastered the power of the Wei Dynasty, but this was the first time that he went into battle to fight. When Zhao Shan directly killed someone, Tuoba Hong was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
Tuoba Hong was extremely angry and gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao Shan, you killed my envoy. This is an irreconcilable hatred."
Zhao Shan counterattacked: "Since the Northern Wei Dynasty invaded the Central Plains, plundered my people, and seized my territory, we have been sworn in. It seems that you want to fight to the death with me and are unwilling to negotiate."
"In this case, I will kill all the prisoners first and then consider the next attack."
"Come here, drag Yu Wenxiong out and kill another sacrifice flag."
Zhao Shan ordered again.
The soldiers dragged Yu Wenxiong out. He was even more panicked and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, save me, save me!
Gudong!
Tuoba Hong swallowed.
I'm very confused inside.
Murong Tao was killed directly. He died anonymously and worthless. Although Murong Tao was born in the Murong tribe, he was from a remote small sect and was not a true direct descendant of the Murong tribe.
Yu Wenxiong is different. This is the son of Tuoba Hong's confidant Yu Wenke.
Regardless of Yu Wenxiong's life, how could Yu Wenke still support him? After Zhao Shan kills Yu Wenxiong, he will kill Tuoba Shao next. Does he care about Tuoba Shao?
Tuoba Hong watched the soldiers drag out Yu Wenxiong. At the moment when the soldiers were about to strike with their swords, he shouted loudly: "Zhao Shan, stop!"
Zhao Shan raised his hand to stop him.
The soldier stopped and Zhao Shan joked: "Brother, what advice do you have? Before Yu Wenxiong dies, should you encourage him so that he will be loyal to the Northern Wei Dynasty even after his death?"
Yu Wenxiong was extremely afraid of death. He once again asked for help and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, help me, I don't want to die!"
