A few days later.
When Hu Jishen led the Annan army and arrived at Qiujiang River, he saw that the Ming army was still building ships, and he couldn't help but ridicule him.
Especially after seeing the Annan Navy crossing the river, Hu Jisao looked even more satisfied.
In order to lower the morale of the Ming army, Hu Jiyou's dark thoughts suddenly came to mind. He decided to ridicule the commander of the Ming army in front of everyone, and at the same time boost the morale of the Annan army.
Thinking of this, Hu Jiyou made arrangements to Annan King Chen Zheping on the side:
"Your Majesty, I need you to personally write a letter to the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, and tell the commander-in-chief of the Ming army that negotiations between the two countries will be held on the river tomorrow morning, so that they must be present."
negotiation?
After hearing this, Chen Zheping was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion:
"This...How is the Prime Minister going to negotiate?"
Chen Zheping couldn't help but think in his heart:
Are you ready to negotiate before the fight starts? Could it be that this old man has some other bad intentions?
Unexpectedly, Hu Jiyou smiled very arrogantly:
"The so-called negotiation is just a pretext. I will arrange for the soldiers to mock these Ming people until tomorrow."
"Hmph! It can also boost the morale of our army!"
"Now that the Ming army has been blocked by us at the Shiqiu River, we have a sure chance of victory. Taking this opportunity, I must scold these Ming people."
After hearing this, Chen Zheping shook his head, looking confused:
"At this time, when the two countries' forces are facing each other and their swords are arrogant, we should not anger the Ming army, lest they cause them to jump over the wall in a hurry. In the end, we will lose more than we gain."
"fart!"
Hu Jiya squinted his eyes and scolded Chen Zheping in a low voice:
"At this moment, there is no need to consider the thoughts of the people of Ming Dynasty. We have an army of 150,000 in our hands. This is our confidence. Your Majesty must not emulate others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige."
Hu Jiya seemed to have forgotten the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, and his words were full of threats:
"If the king doesn't write it now, I'm afraid he will have to write it in the end, and by then,...hum!"
At the end, Hu Jiyou's voice was even more sinister. Chen Zheping looked frightened, timid, but filled with resentment in his heart. But now he had no choice but to follow Hu's instructions. Do what Ji Yao tells you to do.
After Chen Zheping personally wrote the letter of war, Hu Jisao asked the envoy to go to the Ming Dynasty military camp to deliver the message.
The envoy sailed across the river and came to the Ming Dynasty's military camp.
As soon as he stepped into the military camp and saw the scene in front of him, Annan's envoy was stunned and couldn't believe it.
I saw that the Ming troops in front of them lost their energy and energy. At this time, they all looked listless.
What's more, the whole person looked sickly. He didn't look like a normal soldier, but like a sick man. His face was depressed and his eyes were dull and dull.
There were cut down trees everywhere, lying in a mess, and axes were scattered everywhere. There were trees and tools, but no one started to build a boat.
You can lie down or sit down. This place doesn't look like a military camp. It's almost as good as a refugee slum. The envoy couldn't help but sneer in his heart. With the useless state of this group of people, they still want to fight Annan. Go ahead and live in your spring and autumn dreams. !
With an arrogant look on his face, the envoy continued to move forward step by step. Half an hour later, the envoy finally arrived at the main tent of the military camp.
As soon as he entered the tent, the envoy glanced casually at Li Jin, who was standing above him. He raised his head and chest, without saluting. He looked very arrogant, as if he looked down on Li Jin.
Fu Youde on the side immediately became furious when he saw the envoy's attitude. He stood up and was about to deal with this arrogant and rude guy, but was stopped by Li Jin who raised his hand.
Looking at the upright messenger standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, Li Jin sneered and asked coldly:
"Did your king send you here to die?"
Even so, there was no trace of fear on the envoy's face, and he still replied calmly:
"Even if I die, you will be buried with me. I deserve to die."
Li Jin smiled and said instead:
"That's a big statement, but since you are the envoy, I won't kill you."
"Tell me, what did your king ask you to do?"
The messenger explained his intention:
"Our king wants to see you tomorrow and advise you to stop fighting. I wonder if you dare to meet him?"
Hearing this, Li Jin showed a surprised expression and asked in confusion:
"I didn't expect your king to have such courage?"
"Isn't your king afraid of death? I have a hundred thousand soldiers. As long as I cross the Shiqiu River, I will defeat your Annan."
"At this time, why don't you kneel down and ask for surrender?"
Regarding Li Jin's self-confidence, the envoy was very disdainful and said:
"It doesn't matter if you have an army of 100,000, but you are just a bunch of rabble. We, the prime minister and the king, command an army of 150,000 to march in person, so what can you do?"
"When you wait until tomorrow, when you see the strength of our army, you will be so frightened that you will never dare to utter arrogant words again."
"If I were you, I would sneak away with my tail between my legs today. Otherwise, when our army crosses the river, you will die!"
Li Jin didn't say anything, but Fu Youde on the side suddenly became furious and shouted:
"You are presumptuous, Zhu Zi, you have such a loud tone."
"Your grandpa, I will wait here to see if you grandsons dare to lead an army across the river!"
"A bunch of clowns still want to show off in front of the Ming Dynasty's army. They really don't know how to live or die!"
The messenger looked extremely ugly after being scolded by these words, but he still said sarcastically:
"Hmph, your soldiers are already sick, and will soon be infected with the plague, and are about to die. Why are you still daydreaming here?"
"I advise you to wake up quickly. It's not me who doesn't know whether to live or die, but you."
"you wanna die!!!"
While roaring, Fu Youde pulled out the weapon from his waist and was about to kill the messenger. Li Jin suddenly stopped him:
"Wait!"
After waving slightly towards Fu Youde, Li Jin said coldly to the envoy:
"Stop talking nonsense, just take your little life and go back quickly to tell your king. See you by the river tomorrow!!"
...
The next day, we went to the Qiu River in the city.
Annan kings Chen Zheping and Hu Jiyou led Annan's 150,000 troops to line up on the riverside. At first glance, they saw a crowd of people, with no end in sight, and an extraordinary aura.
I have to say that for today's battle, Hu Jishen had really arranged everything in place. At least in terms of momentum, even Li Jin couldn't match it.
Li Jin only brought a few dozen people to the riverside. Not only were the number of people pitiful, but they also looked extremely shabby. They were in sharp contrast to the Annan Army across the river.
