Chapter 981: Chop Him Off and Send His Head to the King of Xiliang
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. He originally wanted to ask Tantai Qingyue about her situation in Xiliang, but in the end he held back. Now is not the time for the long-lasting love between children.
He glanced at the battlefield and said in a deep voice: "Old Feng, take him to persuade him to surrender!"
"yes!"
Feng Qizheng took Bian Yangze away.
Ning Chen's eyes fell on Lou Guanghe, whose hands and feet were bound by handcuffs and anklets, "I remember that you just said your name was Lou Guanghe?"
Lou Guanghe's face turned pale and his whole body was trembling. He nodded and said, "Yes!"
Ning Chen said sharply: "You are from Xiguan City. What is the situation in Xiguan City now?"
Lou Guanghe recalled the situation in Xiguan City and couldn't help but feel excited. He said in his heart that he must not tell Ning Chen the truth, otherwise he would be dead.
"Xiguan City is a bit dilapidated, but the people can still survive. We left a lot of food for them when we passed by..."
Ning Chen's face darkened, "You are looking for death, how dare you lie to me?"
Xiguan City was looted twice by Xiliang. Now it is covered with heavy snow and the people are hungry and cold. How many people have died?
There's not a word of truth in this bitch's mouth.
Lou Guanghe was so frightened that he lost his mind, "I, I didn't lie to you..."
Ning Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and ordered Mo Daojun, "Cut it down!"
"yes!"
Lou Guanghe screamed: "Don't kill me, please don't kill me... I am the Xiliang royal family, I am Tantai Qingyue's cousin, there is still use for keeping me, please be merciful... "
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you Tantai Qingyue's cousin?"
Lou Guanghe said tremblingly: "Yes!"
"How is she doing in Xiliang now?"
Lou Guanghe said hurriedly: "She, she is fine!"
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that you are impatient and show off your non-existent brain in front of me again and again."
The purpose of Tantai Qingyue's return was to persuade the Xiliang royal family to seek help from the people of Xiguan City.
But instead of saving the people of Xiguan City, the Xiliang royal family sent troops to support Leng Wenyan... It can be seen that Tantai Qingyue's current situation in Xiliang is not good.
Ning Chen was about to order Lou Guanghe to be beheaded, but he heard cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami rising from the battlefield.
The Xiliang army surrendered!
Bian Yangze's persuasion to surrender was still very useful.
.......
In the evening, inside the camp, Ning Chen was thinking about something, and Yuan Long's voice sounded outside: "The general wants to see the prince!"
"Come in!"
The curtain was opened, and Yuan Long, King Wu and others walked in.
"See you, my lord!"
Ning Chen waved his hand, "No need to be polite. Is the battlefield finished?"
Yuan Long leaned over and said: "Yes, plus the 10,000 Xiliang troops in Huxiao Gorge, a total of more than 37,000 enemies were wiped out in this battle and more than 62,000 were captured... 4,000 of our troops died in the battle There are more than 6,000 wounded soldiers."
Ning Chen sighed deeply, this battle was really tragic.
"Let the military doctors seize the time to treat him, and transfer the military doctors from Xiliang to him as well."
Yuan Long said: "What about the wounded soldiers in Xiliang?"
Ning Chen said indifferently: "First try our best to treat our wounded soldiers. As for the wounded soldiers in Xiliang, wait if you can, and die if you can't."
"The general will get the order!"
Ning Chen looked at Lei An, "How much food and grass have been confiscated?"
Leian leaned over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's not much, it's only enough to feed an army of 100,000 people for about ten days.
Xiliang came to support Leng Wenyan this time, so as long as they arrived in Bianzhou, Leng Wenyan would definitely provide food and grass, so they didn't bring much food and grass.
However, we captured 20,000 war horses, tens of thousands of swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, armor and other weapons. "
Ning Chen nodded slightly, then looked at King Wu and said: "Tomorrow morning, you will lead an army of 10,000 to escort the wounded soldiers and the collected supplies back to Bianzhou.
When the time comes, I will lead the army straight to Xiguan City.
After you return to Bianzhou, immediately mobilize 200,000 shi of grain to be transported to Xiguancheng. "
King Wu said: "Why don't I set off now? A quarter of an hour earlier, the people of Xiguan City will have a little more hope for life."
Ning Chen shook his head, "We have just experienced a big battle, and the soldiers have been exhausted for a long time... Marching at this time is not very efficient. Just start as early as possible tomorrow."
King Wu nodded, "Okay!"
Ning Chen looked at Yuan Long, "Go and bring Bian Yangze to me."
"yes!"
Yuan Long bowed and retreated.
In about a stick of incense, Bian Yangze was brought to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "After two years of food in Xiliang, you have forgotten whether the northwest wind is cold or not?
When I led my army to invade Xiliang, you forgot so quickly?
You clowns, you want to take advantage of the civil strife in my Daxuan to split up my Daxuan territory. I think you are looking for death. "
Bian Yangze showed no fear, but had a bitter smile on his face.
"The saint is indeed right. Xiliang has made a big mistake. If we don't make up for it in time, we may be in disaster."
Ning Chen asked calmly: "Are you from Tantai Qingyue?"
Bian Yangze shook his head, "It's hard to talk about it. It's just that he has the same ideals as the Saint."
"In this case, you still dare to lead troops to support Leng Wenyan?"
Bian Yangze smiled bitterly, "As a general, how can I not obey the emperor's orders? Moreover, the saint suggested that I lead the troops. Once I encounter you, as long as I surrender, I can save most of the people's lives.
The saint said that Xiguan City is in ruins with broken wells and ruins. You need a lot of coolies. As long as you surrender, you can save your life! "
Ning Chen shook his head and laughed, "She does understand me... Speaking of which, you Xiliang people are really pitiful, relying on one woman for everything.
You were defeated and captured, but it was she who rescued tens of thousands of captives from me... Aren't you people ashamed? "
Bian Yangze smiled bitterly, the royal family is not ashamed, what is the use of being ashamed?
Ning Chen asked: "Is Xiao Danzi okay now?"
Bian Yangze shook his head, "She is trapped in the imperial city and is not allowed to leave!"
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "I once said that if a commoner in Xiguan City freezes to death, I will kill ten members of the Xiliang royal family.
Does Lou Guanghe have a lot of weight in the Xiliang royal family? "
Bian Yangze nodded, "It seems that the prince does not know our Xiliang royal family very well. The monarch's surname is Tantai..."
Ning Chen reminded with a sneer, "He is the King of Xiliang, and he deserves to be called the king?"
Bian Yangze twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed: "In short, the Lou family is very powerful. Although Lou Guanghe is a bit arrogant, his abilities are pretty good. He is a core figure in the Lou family."
Ning Chen yelled, "Old Feng, go and behead that Lou Guanghe and keep his head. When you get to Xiguan City... send someone to the Xiliang royal family so that the Xiliang King can take a good look at him."
Feng Qizheng leaned over, "If you give the order, I'll go right away!"
Ning Chen sneered and said: "I said that if a commoner in Xiguan City freezes to death, then ten members of the Xiliang royal family will be killed... Since Lou Guanghe has some weight, let's start with him first and just collect some interest. "
After saying this, Ning Chen's eyes fell on Bian Yangze, "Do you think I should chop off your head and give it to the King of Xiliang?"
Bian Yangze shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The defeated general has no choice. The prince wants to kill him, so just do it... I just want to give those Xiliang soldiers outside a way to live!"
