Chapter 660: Xu Liang (Second Watch)
"King Xi, now you should believe that the minister did not lie to you King Xi. If it weren't for King Xi's timely return to the army, I'm afraid that the camp would have been occupied by the Khitan army at this time. Xu Liang said to King Xi with a smile.
"In vain, the king believed in the crown prince so much, but he didn't expect that he would unite with the Khitan king and prepare to calculate the king. If it weren't for General Xu Liang's reminder, I'm afraid that this king would have been in a different place at this time. King Xi said angrily.
It turned out that just now, King Xi followed Xu Liang's explanation. There was no real attack on the north gate. And at this time, there was a probe to report to the king.
It is said that at the back of the battalion, many soldiers in the uniforms of the Don Army were found. is slowly approaching the company camp. I'm afraid it's preparing to secretly attack the camp.
It stands to reason that King Xi should think that there is a Tang army preparing to attack from behind. But Xu Liang was beside him, so it naturally made King Xi think that the Khitan army disguised itself as the Tang army. is ready to take advantage of his own troops to attack Youzhou and stab himself in the back.
"King Xi, I'm afraid things won't be so simple. If the minister didn't guess wrong, the Khitan would not stop there. Xu Liang said to King Xi.
"Xu Liang, since you are here to see this king on the order of King Yan. Then let's listen to King Yan's words. This king will not believe it, and King Yan will be kind enough to remind this king. King Xi said to Xu Liang.
"What King Xi said is right, His Royal Highness King Yan will naturally not remind King Xi for no reason. In order to reach an offensive and defensive alliance with King Xi. ”
"Now the enemy of His Royal Highness King Yan is Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the dynasty. Only by overthrowing the crown prince Li Chengqian of the current dynasty can His Royal Highness King Yan be expected to become the prince of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"And King Xi's enemy is the Khitan King, as long as King Xi can destroy the Khitan King, the 100,000 troops brought by him. You can immediately return to the army and annex the territory of the Khitan. ”
"At that time, on the land of Yan Zhao, there will only be His Royal Highness King Yan and King Xi. And His Royal Highness King Yan will naturally not stay in Youzhou forever. Because His Royal Highness King Yan will return to the capital sooner or later to inherit the throne. ”
"At that time, the vast land of the land of Yan Zhao will naturally be yours King Xi. I don't know what King Xi wants? Xu Liang said to King Xi with a smile.
"I'm afraid it's King Yan, who is ready to use this king to resist the Khitan King's 100,000 iron horses. When the time comes, he will lead his troops out of the city and put the king and the Khitan king to death together. ”
"When the time comes, on the land of Yan Zhao, what remains is not this king and the king of Yan. And he's the only one Yan Wang, right? King Xi sneered and said to Xu Liang.
"Hahaha, this land of Yanzhao is a bitter cold land. Historically, only those who made mistakes in the court and China would be assassinated and exiled here. How could His Royal Highness King Yan put this in his eyes. ”
"If King Xi doesn't believe in the sincerity of His Royal Highness King Yan. Then King Xi can send someone to cut off my Xu Liang's head, send it back to Youzhou City, and hand it over to His Royal Highness King Yan. Xu Liang said with a disdainful expression.
"If you don't dare to kill you as the king, you can't do it, and now the king will cut off your head. Tomorrow use your head to sacrifice the flag, and then send troops to attack the north gate of Youzhou City. ”
"When the city is broken, this king will definitely let you monarchs and ministers meet again in the underworld." King Xi laughed and said to Xu Liang.
Then King Xi gave an order, and there were naturally knife and axe hands on both sides. rubbed Xu Liang's shoulders and put his arms together, and directly tied a strong knot.
"This king will give you another chance, and now tell the Yan King's conspiracy and tricks. This king may consider letting you live. If not, then don't blame the king for being ruthless. King Xi looked at Xu Liang, who was tied up strongly, and said.
"Since King Xi doesn't believe it, then I, Xu Liang, am willing to use the head. to prove that His Royal Highness King Yan did not deceive King Xi. Xu Liang said with a straight face.
"Since you are so ignorant of lifting, then this king has fulfilled you. When you get to the Netherworld, don't blame the king for not giving you a chance. King Xi said to Xu Liang with a hideous face.
"Today, I, Xu Liang, are one step ahead, but I will wait for King Xi on Huangquan Road. It is estimated that I, Xu Liang, will definitely not wait too long, and the Khitan King will send you to meet my Xu Liang. Xu Liang said with an expression of death.
Hugh made a big fuss there, and someone came to push the Tang army's spies out of the noon gate and behead them. Hang his head above the gate and let Li Tai, the king of Yan, know that this king is not a three-year-old child. King Xi said angrily.
Xu Liang was pushed out, and at the same time followed a military general by King Xi's side. Also under the signal of King Xi, he walked out with the knife and axe hand.
Seeing Xu Liang being escorted to the gate for beheading, King Xi sighed and said: "Tang Dynasty Man doesn't have a good thing, his own brothers can calculate each other. So I have to guard against it! ”
Xu Liang originally thought that King Xi was testing him, but he didn't expect that in the end, he really bet himself on the court. Now he has been pressed against the stake of his head.
There was a burly executioner standing beside him, holding a ghost-headed knife that shone with a cold light in his arms. Just wait for the prison officer to give an order, and he really has to report to the Netherworld Mansion.
Xu Liang couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, feeling that he had absolutely no chance of surviving this time. However, from beginning to end, Xu Liang never even said a word of forgiveness.
Only listening to the order of the prison officer, the executioner slashed the ghost head knife in his hand towards Xu Liang. Xu Liang's ears heard a gust of evil wind coming, so he closed his eyes helplessly.
But at this critical moment, I only heard a crisp sound. The ghost knife in the executioner's hand was directly picked up and flew out.
originally thought that he had become a ghost under the knife Xu Liang. was escorted back to King Xi's Chinese army tent again. This feeling of being in a different world made Xu Liang a little unsure of joy and sorrow.
Seeing that Xu Liang was escorted back, King Xi laughed and got up and came to Xu Liang. personally untied the rope on Xu Liang's body.
Then he said to Xu Liang with a smile: "Please also ask General Xu not to be surprised, after all, this king has been deceived by the crown prince Li Chengqian once." So you can't be more careful. ”
"King Xi, you can't make such jokes again in the future. Otherwise, even if King Xi doesn't kill the minister, the minister will be scared to death by the executioner's ghost-headed knife. Xu Liang said to King Xi with a shocked expression.
"There is no next time this time, and now I would like to ask General Xu Liang to tell me what King Yan's plan is. It is up to the king how to cooperate with him. King Xi said to Xu Liang with a smile.
"Now that King Xi is ready to form an alliance with His Royal Highness King Yan. Nachen did not hide King Xi, and now there are 200,000 defenders in Youzhou City. ”
"It's not difficult to eliminate the Khitan king in one fell swoop. It's just that His Royal Highness King Yan is ready to deceive His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Make the illusion that Youzhou City is lost. That's why I will unite with King Xi. Xu Liang said to King Xi.
King Xi never expected that there were 200,000 defenders in Youzhou City. So he naturally didn't believe it in his heart, and felt that Xu Liang was deliberately deceiving himself.
Seeing King Xi's disbelieving expression, Xu Liang continued: "If King Xi doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate." Look at how big the loss of the Khitan king is today, and it will be clear at a glance when the time comes. ”
