Liu Xiang watched Xie Fulou's body slowly fall down, and the blood sprayed from his neck was scattered on the ground. Before it was completely eroded by the soil, it was like a black flower withering on the ground under his feet.
But in the end, Liu Xiang also understood something, which was Xie Fulou's heartfelt praise for His Royal Highness Prince Li Hong, and Fu Yufeng's last words of advice: 'Be an honest and well-behaved minister of the Tang Dynasty. It was the Tang Dynasty's good fortune to have such a prince who was capable of fighting, but it was the misfortune of Baekje, Silla, Goguryeo and other countries. '
As Li Hong walked, he kicked Jin Famin, who was sweating and panting. His fat body was wearing clothes that looked like he had just been fished out of the water. He leisurely asked Liu Ingui why he appeared behind the Silla and Baekje coalition forces.
It turned out that Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan originally planned to tell Li Hong, but because it was too late and Li Zhi's strong order ordered them to go out immediately in the name of the emperor, they were in a hurry and could not tell Li Hong. A sound.
But when they led the Tang army and Goguryeo soldiers not far from Liujing City, they already noticed that someone had discovered their army, and they didn't care at first.
However, Liu Rengui had mistakenly linked the fact that His Majesty sent him and Liu Renyuan to go on an immediate expedition to Gao Zang. He secretly wondered in his heart whether it was Gao Zang who had instigated His Majesty to allow him to go on an expedition, and then took advantage of the fact that the Tang Dynasty did not have many troops in Liujing. In this situation, do you want to capture His Majesty
So they secretly sent people to counter-investigate those who discovered them. Unexpectedly, they discovered that they were the allied forces of Silla and Baekje. So Liu Ingui and Liu Inyuan secretly discussed, on the grounds that His Majesty had other orders, so they Let Liu Renyuan lead the light cavalry troops and Goguryeo soldiers to the border.
Liu Ingui, on the other hand, led the heavy cavalry troops, waiting for the opportunity to launch an attack from the enemy's rear when the Silla and Baekje coalition forces were preparing to attack the city.
So, there were three will-o'-the-wisp semaphores at night.
The flag language is unique to the Anxi army and has not been fully popularized in other places. However, when Xue Rengui, Liu Rengui and others talked about their harvest in Anxi over the years, they specifically mentioned that these flags were more complicated than what they used, but There is also the benefit of a more concise semaphore.
So along the way, Liu Rengui and others began to learn this semaphore from Xue Rengui. Unexpectedly, they actually used it in a short period of time.
Li Hong smiled and kicked Jin Famin again so that he rolled on the ground several times. The ministers of Silla next to him could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out. They looked at their king with a sad expression and tears. He was kicked around like a pig by the generals of the Tang Dynasty.
The originally bright and gorgeous royal clothes had long been dirty, covered in blood and dust, mixed with the unique smell of sweat of obese people, exuding a smell that made flies rejoice.
At this time, his face was already covered in bruises and purples, and with the dust covering his cheeks and being washed away by the sweat on his forehead, black marks were all over his face, giving him the appearance of a painted face.
If we say who among Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, Li Hong had the deepest prejudice against, and whom he was most wary of, it was definitely Silla.
In the original historical process, Silla teamed up with the Tang Dynasty to destroy Baekje and Goguryeo and signed a friendship treaty. However, in the end, Silla's ambitions grew. In order to imitate the Tang Dynasty and establish a social system like the Tang Dynasty, Silla began to fall out. He refused to recognize anyone and eventually started a war with the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, when Li Hong looked at this fat and ball-like Jin Famin, he would definitely not feel any fondness for him. Treating him like this was already too light. If Liu Rengui and others hadn't stopped him, Li Hong would have wanted to kill him at the first moment. !
Fu Yufeng, who was in his sixties, was pulled off the carriage by Liu Xiang. The prisoners of Silla and Baekje had now been driven out of the Tang Dynasty by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and all of them were driven into Liujing City. The Goguryeo soldiers After the expedition, the empty barracks came under supervision.
Jin Famin, who was kicked out by Li Hong, staggered and rolled around, and happened to be standing with Fu Yufeng who had just got off the car. The two looked at each other in embarrassment, their eyes full of Feeling deep regret and bitterness, the scene in front of them was something they never expected.
"My husband, Yu Feng, has met His Highness the Crown Prince." Fu Yufeng, leading about thirty ministers behind him, knelt down and saluted respectfully.
Before Li Hong had time to wonder why Fu Yufeng knew his identity, Jin Famin, who looked like a beggar and was covered in filth, stared at his round eyes and lowered his head to look at Fu Yu, who was kowtowing respectfully. rich.
Then he quickly reached out and pointed at Li Hong: "You are..."
After realizing that he was disrespectful by pointing at His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Jin Famin quickly put down his arm, raised a burst of dust with a common sound, led the ministers who had just stood behind him, and knelt down all of a sudden, speaking urgently. He said: "I, Jin Famin, have met His Highness the Crown Prince. Please forgive me for my rudeness just now."
Li Hong ignored the group of people kneeling in front of him. He looked around and found no suitable place to sit, so he had to pull a few corpses to cushion them. As everyone was stunned, several people were stabbed with huge thorns. He sat down on the piled corpses.
Liu Xiang walked up quickly and told Xie Fulou everything in detail.
Li Hong nodded approvingly: "It's rare that you have sympathy for each other. Yes, our Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Naturally, we uphold the principle of being open to all rivers and being tolerant when dealing with neighboring countries. Remember to bury him properly later."
"Yes, Your Highness. I would like to thank Your Highness for not pursuing any further investigation." Liu Xiang said respectfully.
"You're welcome. A general has the attitude and recognition of a general. You are right." Li Hongyang started to look at Liu Xiang. The sun was now hanging high in the sky, and it was the hottest time of the day.
The slightest hint of cool breeze blew by, but it did not bring cool and fresh air to anyone here. Instead, the stench of blood became much stronger.
Li Hong had no intention of immediately escorting Fu Yufeng and Jin Famin back to Liujing City. Naturally, Liu Rengui and others would not remind or advise the Crown Prince on what the party should do at this time.
Moreover, some of them thought that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to accuse the two kings of Silla and Baekje on this battlefield where the smell of blood was strong and pungent, and intermittent screams could still be heard.
"Lift your head." There were several corpses sitting under Li Hong's buttocks. His helmet had been taken off, but he still took the white handkerchief handed over by Hua Meng, made it into a mask, and tied it around his mouth.
Jin Famin and Fu Yufeng lowered their heads and looked at each other. They originally thought that they would be escorted to Liujing City for questioning, but they did not expect that His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty was indeed practicing unnatural ways and would end up in this sea of blood and corpses. Ask them on the wild battlefield.
"It's a fait accompli that there's no need to ask why. Why did you dare to attack Liujing City? Why did you dare to come even though you knew that our Datang garrison was here? I won't ask any of these. Now let me ask you the first question, do you want to live or not? Die?" Li Hong asked in a relaxed tone with his hand on the ground.
"Live..." Jin Famin and Fu Yufeng said in unison, raising their heads and speaking quickly at the same time.
"You actually brought a woman with you to the battlefield? It's interesting, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the strength to protect his maids. It's so sad." Li Hong glanced at the two pretty maids kneeling behind Jin Famin. The Silla maids are indeed well-deserved. This beautiful woman obviously fits the aesthetics of wealthy people in the Tang Dynasty who bought slaves.
"Your Highness, please spare your life. I was just confused for a moment and listened to the minister's slanderous words, so I was deceived by lard and coerced by him to this point." Fu Yufeng reacted much faster than Jin Famin and immediately All the blame was placed on the dead man Xev Lou.
"Yes, yes, I was also slandered and persecuted by Wen Junjie, and I was forced to come over by him as a last resort. I don't have the courage to confront the superior country at all. I still ask His Highness the Crown Prince to spare my life." Jin Famin's fat body trembled, Turning his eyes, he saw that Wen Junjie was not there, so he followed suit and put the blame on Wen Junjie, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
Li Hong was not interested in their explanation at all, and he dared not take it seriously. This was the best show of Silla, Baekje, and especially Goryeo Bangzi in the previous life, so he did not ask the reason at all.
"Since you want to live, it's easy. Send your ministers back to get money to redeem you two." Li Hong is not for anything else, only for money. After all, after taking away all their money, they will have no strength in the short term. If the army is formed within a certain period of time, the three families will be able to coexist peacefully for a period of time.
"I wonder how much silver your Highness needs?" Jin Famin's eyes immediately lit up when he heard that he asked for silver. As long as his life is spared, the money is easy to talk about, just tell him the amount.
"How much money do you think you are worth?" Li Hong looked at Jin Famin with disdain, and then at Fu Yufeng, who had a solemn look on his face, and asked lightly.
"This... I'm afraid this fat body of yours is not worth much, how about ten thousand taels?" Jin Famin showed off his cleverness while his ministers behind him were frightened.
"Ten thousand taels? Jin Famin, what do you think if I kill you now, and then attack the Silla King's City to support another noble to become the king? I think they must be able to give me more than you, right?" Li Hong was not in a hurry, Because the sound of horse hooves was heard just now, it turned out to be Father Long, who was riding towards here on a war horse under the tight protection of a group of Jinwu guards.
"By the way, there is also your husband Yufeng. In addition to your nobles, Baekje also has seven nobles, such as... the Sha family, the Yan family, the Guo family, the Mu family, etc. They are probably hoping that you will die during this expedition. On the battlefield, or captured by our Tang Dynasty, right? In this way, they can rely on their long-term close relationship with the Japanese Onishi Fukunobu to usurp your throne. So, if you don’t want Baekje to perish, hurry up. Send someone back to raise money. As for how much your throne is worth, you can weigh it yourself." After Li Hong turned to Fu Yufeng, he stood up to welcome his father Long.
He had never seen such a person before. The battlefield was so pungent and disgusting that it made people vomit. He had to come over to join in the fun.
