"No! I'm going too!"
When I heard Liu Qi say that he would go to Beiping Pass without him.
Liu Yin didn't even care about the pain in his butt. With a ferocious face, he stood up immediately.
Liu Yin thought to himself that since his third brother dared to lead the army to Beiping Pass, he must be completely confident.
How could he helplessly watch such an opportunity to win military glory fall on Liu Qi alone?
Seeing his excited look, Liu Qi was slightly surprised, but he understood what he was thinking in a blink of an eye.
"you sure?"
Liu Yin thought for a while.
Well, Liu Qi must be blowing himself up, that's why he said this.
So, without any hesitation, he nodded heavily.
"I am sure!"
"Okay, as expected of my Liu family's son, then you can go with me, but you are so injured..."
Hearing this, Liu Yin endured the great pain and patted his butt.
"It's all healed."
Liu Qi smiled and nodded, then asked him to prepare his luggage immediately and went with him to Beiping Pass.
...
On the way, Liu Yin was still thinking about how he would start the battle with his father and how he would perform in this battle.
However, Liu Yin regretted it from the moment he reached Beiping Pass.
When we stepped onto the city wall to take a look, we could see that the Huns army in front of us could be said to cover the sky and the sun. They formed a whole row and could not even see the edge.
To be honest, Liu Yin was scared.
Now including the original defenders of Beiping Pass, they are only more than 40,000 people, while the other side has an army of nearly 300,000 people.
Let alone a duel, even if it was defending a city, it would probably be considered an egg against a stone.
You know, this is only in the case of huge disparity in military strength.
The more important issue is that Beiping Pass is not a particularly large pass. It has only just been repaired since the Huns invaded.
If the opponent attacks the city with all its strength, it will be extremely difficult to just defend the city wall.
The guard general at Beiping Pass is a very young general. Judging from his age, he seems to be not much older than Liu Qi.
After he introduced the current situation at Beiping Pass, Liu Qi spoke.
"Put all my handsomeness on the city wall."
The guard had no doubts and began to follow the instructions after hearing the instructions.
After a while, the walls of Beipingguan were filled with the royal family's unique red handsome chess pieces.
After doing this, the sound of drum beating on the Xiongnu side really stopped.
After a while, I saw a Huns riding a black horse galloping towards me in the distance.
In this case, naturally we are not here to fight.
After Liu Qi's permission, the Beiping Pass guard immediately sent several soldiers to inquire about the Huns' intentions.
When the soldiers who left the city came back, they brought back a message from the Huns.
"The Xiongnu said that they did not want to be at odds with Daqing, but Daqing had attacked the Xiongnu in the country of Yin before. Within fifteen days, they needed to be prepared to compensate them with money, countless jewels, and the money they spent on this expedition. Military resources..."
"if not..."
"Otherwise, don't hesitate!"
After Wood shouted sharply, the soldier quickly followed.
"Otherwise, we will immediately send troops to Daqing and crush the city of Beiping!"
However, when everyone was filled with indignation, Liu Qi smiled instead of getting angry.
"Haha, the Huns are so brave."
Then, he looked at the soldier who reported back.
"Have you told them that the king is already here?"
The soldier nodded immediately.
"As I said, I will tell the Huns when we meet that the crown prince of Daqing has personally led the reinforcements to support him, and ask them to retreat quickly, otherwise, they will declare war on me, Daqing."
At this time, Liu Yin on the side walked over in a panic.
"Third brother, let's leave quickly. With just a few of us, how can we withstand the Huns' army? We can retreat to other city passes and wait for reinforcements from the court to arrive. It's not too late to discuss it again!"
Liu Qi chuckled.
"Retreat? Retreat to where? Are we going to hand over Beiping Pass to the Xiongnu and let the people of Pingzhuang suffer the same catastrophe again?"
Seeing Liu Qi's firm attitude, Wood stepped forward to speak.
"Your Highness, since you are determined not to retreat, you should hurry up and ask the court to send reinforcements to Beiping Pass as soon as possible. Fifteen days will be enough for our reinforcements to arrive."
After hearing Wood's words, Liu Yin suddenly stepped forward.
"No need, just a few days ago, I reported all the situation here to the court. I think after my father knew about this, he called on the ministers to discuss it. Now he has sent a large army to go to Beiping Pass to carry out the investigation. Support!"
Liu Yin felt that now that we had reached this juncture, the only thing Liu Qi could do was to ask the imperial court for help.
And he had passed the news to the court in advance. If the reinforcements could arrive in advance and force the Huns to retreat, it would be a great achievement for him.
However, what neither Liu Yin nor the other generals expected was that upon hearing this, Liu Qi instantly became furious!
"Liu Yin, have I ever said that no one should ask the imperial court for help? Who the hell allowed you to make your own decisions?"
Finished.
Snapped! Bang!
Grabbing Liu Yin's collar, he not only slapped him hard on the face, but even kicked him hard on his injured buttocks.
Liu Yin grimaced in pain, jumped away quickly, and looked at Liu Qi with an unconvinced expression.
"Why do you beat me? Now that the Xiongnu army is approaching the pass, shouldn't we call for reinforcements?"
Liu Qi looked at him angrily.
"Do you know anything about hammers? Can't you all see it? Although the Huns sent so many troops, in fact, they don't want to fight at all!"
When Liu Qi glanced at him, everyone's eyes were full of doubts.
Even the battle formations were arranged, and the ladders for attacking the city were also brought up. It was clear that they were going to attack the city. The prince actually said that the Huns did not want to attack? Maybe he is confused.
However, Liu Qi's explanation made everyone suddenly realize.
In fact, from the very beginning when the Xiongnu mobilized troops, Liu Qi concluded that the Xiongnu would not really start a war with Daqing.
First, it was winter, and the Huns were giving birth to lambs, and they were also conducting serious cattle and sheep transactions with South Korea. Going to war with Daqing would only bring harm but no benefit to them.
Secondly, the leader sent by the Xiongnu this time was Zhamuhe, the king of Zuo Ri.
Zhamuhe has always advocated peaceful coexistence with Daqing. If the Xiongnu is determined to fight against the Xiongnu, just send Hatir, who is hostile to Daqing. Could it be that Shan Yu still couldn't tell the nature of his subordinates?
Thirdly, if the Xiongnu came this time and wanted to invade the country, they would have already started to attack the city. Why wait for such a long time and engage in these useless negotiations.
Isn't it too late to wait until Beiping City is actually captured before negotiating with Daqing?
After hearing what the prince said, the generals on the city wall were shocked, especially Liu Yin, who was even more stunned.
How could he have thought about this? He also felt that he had made a great contribution by mistake.
At this time, Liu Yin seemed to have forgotten the pain on his body, and walked up to Liu Qi as if he was still a little dissatisfied, and raised his voice to question.
"Impossible! If that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You are clearly trying to escape the Emperor's punishment. Is this just a random excuse?"
