Li Zhi, don't be a coward

It was just a temptation, and Quan Xiancheng's human nature was fully tested.

Li Qinzai was not disappointed, anyway, to him, Quan Xiancheng was just a stranger, besides, it was normal for a person who came from the royal family to make such a choice.

Power is too tempting. Compared with it, what are beauty, money, human relationship and family affection?
This is also one of the reasons why Li Qinzai has been unwilling to get too close to power for many years. He does not want to become like Quan Xiancheng one day, with that kind of greed for power written all over his face, so ugly that he can't bear to look at it. see.

Of course, Li Qinzai was just probing, and Li Ji's military order was not a joke. Li Ji naturally had Li Ji's considerations when Tang Jun wanted to save Quan boy, and Quan boy must have a reason worth saving.

As Quan Xiancheng said, the prestige of the boy Quan in the Goguryeo army is incomparable to his dogs. Li Ji's decision to save him shows that he is valuable and is more in line with Datang's interests.

Saving people is about saving people, Li Qinzai can't be busy in vain, isn't that a great injustice?

"The Tang Dynasty sent troops to break the siege of Cangyan City. This matter is very troublesome," Li Qinzai shook his head and sighed in distress.

"Yinggong is my grandfather. He is in the north, and I am in the north. I must obey his military orders. However, my tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have been fighting again and again. The soldiers have long been exhausted. There is no one in ten of them. After such a long period of exhaustion Master, if you want to break the siege of Cangyan, you may be powerless."

After Li Qinzai finished speaking, he sighed deeply, like a middle-aged man who has been squeezed dry by his wife.

Quan Xiancheng was astonished and said: "The foreign ministers saw that your army and horses camped, and they are all strong and strong..."

Li Qinzai waved his hand: "False, they are all false, they look strong, but in fact...the whole army will not move."

Quan Xiancheng was taken aback: "Mr. Li, you too..."

"I'm okay, I can still lift..." Li Qinzai paused, and then became a little angry: "Am I talking to you about whether to lift or not?"

"To break the siege of Cangyan, have you ever thought about how many casualties our army will have to pay?"

Quan Xiancheng said shamelessly: "There must be casualties in your army, and it is the fault of the foreign ministers. After the siege is relieved, my father and I will definitely compensate the soldiers of your army."

Li Qinzai snorted, and said, "You will still admit it after the siege is released? The soldiers were fierce and dangerous, and there were countless casualties. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were also born and raised by their parents. Why should they bleed and die to save your father? Are we familiar?"

Quan Xiancheng was startled, as if he understood something.

Cupping his hands, Quan Xian said sincerely and respectfully: "I don't know what conditions Mr. Li has? You can say that as long as you can save your father, the ministers are willing to give everything."

Li Qinzai said slowly: "When your father fled, he brought other things with him besides his generals, right? Ordinary people know how to bring some luggage when fleeing a desert. It is impossible for your father to run away naked, right?"

Quan Xiancheng said: "I also brought some food, weapons, and valuable soft goods..."

Li Qinzai's eyes lit up: "How much did you bring?"

"About thousands of stones of grain and grass..."

"Who the hell asked you about the food, how much valuable soft food did you bring?"

Quan Xiancheng finally understood, and hurriedly said: "In a hurry, my father only brought some not too heavy gold, silver, and pearls and gems, which probably filled several carts. My father said it was for recruiting troops and horses in the future." ..."

"We're surrounded so badly, and we still recruit soldiers and horses. Where do we recruit them? Where do we buy them?" Li Qinzai sneered, "What's the use of keeping something that doesn't come with you when you're born or dies?"

Quan Xian said sincerely and respectfully: "What Lord Li said is right, it is really useless to keep these copper-smelling things. If County Lord Li does not abandon them, after the siege of Cangyan is relieved, the ministers are willing to give all the valuables to Lord Li. Please County Lord Li accepts it with a smile."

Li Qinzai sat up straight, and said with a straight face: "Since His Royal Highness Wang Shizi begged so much, I will accept your kindness on behalf of the whole army. Give me those troublesome things that smell like money, and I will help you solve them."

Quan Xiancheng twitched his cheeks, lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li County."

"Since that's the case, may I ask Your Excellency Li Xiangong, when will you send troops to attack the enemies of Cangyan City?"

Li Qinzai looked at the sky and said, "Send troops tomorrow morning."

…………

Before dawn the next day, Li Qinzai gathered the generals in his tent.

The generals in the tent looked a little tired. After marching for several days and coming all the way from Songshan Hill, the soldiers were indeed a little tired.

Li Qinzai looked at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "The commander in charge of the Liaodong Road has ordered that our army must break the siege of Cangyan. At every moment, our army will launch an attack on the enemy outside Cangyan City."

All the generals clasped their fists together and said in unison: "Take orders!"

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "I'm still a kind-hearted commander. Boy Quan is not familiar with us. Since the military order is difficult to violate and we must rescue him, then I can't let the soldiers work in vain."

"There are less than [-] soldiers of my Tang Dynasty. Regardless of whether they have made meritorious service or not, each soldier will be rewarded with five hundred cash. Depending on the size of the credit, the reward will be determined."

"I said this military order, please generals help me convey it to all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."

The generals were stunned, then overjoyed, the exhausted and depressed atmosphere suddenly changed, the morale in the commander's tent was like a rainbow, and the hearts of the people were excited.

"Thank you Li Shuai for your generosity!"

Jin Yuxin was also in the commander's tent. Seeing that Li Qinzai only said that he would reward the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but did not mention anything about them, he couldn't help saying angrily, "Why is Commander Li so unfair? Why didn't my soldiers of the Silla Dynasty reward them?"

Li Qinzai smiled and said: "The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are going to fight desperately on the battlefield. The rewards are their lives in exchange for it. Are you Xinluo soldiers desperate? Don't talk about the battle of Songshangang, it was our knife on the neck You have to go up."

Jin Yuxin said angrily: "But our Silla army has at least killed the enemy for the Great Tang!"

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "What General Jin means is that you also want rewards?"

"of course."

"In this siege battle, if your Xinluo army is willing to take the initiative to attack the enemy and kill the enemy, I will still reward you, just like the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but if the Xinluo army meets the enemy, they will flee and miss my opportunity , I’m going to kill someone, does General Jin dare to issue a military order?”

Jin Yuxin immediately hesitated.

The rewards belonged to the soldiers below, but Li Qinzai wanted his head if something happened, how could he do it?

Seeing that Jin Yuxin was silent, Li Qinzai glanced at him coldly, then stood up straight, and said sternly: "All generals obey orders!"

All the generals in the tent clasped their fists: "Yes!"

"The whole army buries pots and cooks food, counts the armaments, feeds the horses, brings enough ammunition, assembles at every moment, leaves camp every three minutes, and strikes the enemy who besieges the city."

"The last general obeys the order!" All the generals shouted together.

"In this battle to clear the siege, our army's offensive will focus on the south of Cangyan City, and there is no need for a feint attack on the other three sides."

"Hei Chi Changzhi led the vanguard battalion to attack, Liu Ren was willing to lead five thousand soldiers and horses as the central army, Pei Zhengqing led the Modao battalion to guard the southern mountain road, and cut off the enemy's retreat."

"Wang Fangyi led five thousand soldiers and horses to guard the north, and three soldiers and horses formed a three-sided encirclement against the enemy, striving to wipe them out."
