Chapter 656: Liu Renliang Meets the Khitan King (Third Watch)
"Report to the king, an envoy of the Tang army came from outside the camp. said that Li Tai, the king of Yan, had something to convey to the king. The Khitan soldiers entered the Chinese army tent of the Khitan king and said.
"King Yan sent an envoy to see this king, is he ready to surrender to this king?" The Khitan King said with a laugh.
"Great King, it is better to let the envoys of King Yan come in and see what he has to say, and he has something to say to the king." Xiao Motie said to the Khitan King.
"As the saying goes, the two armies do not fight to make envoys, if this king does not see him today, the envoy sent by the king of Yan. I'm afraid that people who come will be laughed at by him, and they will bring the envoys of King Yan into the big tent of the Chinese army. The Khitan king spoke.
Not long after, Liu Renliang was brought in, the Khitan King's Chinese army tent. After entering the big tent, Liu Renliang not only did not worship the Khitan king, but said domineeringly: "Could it be that the Khitan king is so hospitable, he is not even willing to give up a chair?" β
"The bold and arrogant man has entered the big tent of the king's army, and he dares not to worship the king. Do you think that your neck is harder than the steel knife of this king? The Khitan King pulled out the steel knife at his waist, pointed at Liu Renliang and said angrily.
"King Khitan, you seem to have made a mistake. I came to meet the Khitan King this time on behalf of His Royal Highness the King of Yan. Does the Khitan King feel that His Royal Highness King Yan also needs to salute when he sees you? Liu Renliang said solemnly.
"He, Li Tai, is also the king of a country, and I, the king of Khitan, are also the lord of a country. Even if he himself sees this king, he must be polite to this king. How can you be so arrogant and rude. The Khitan King said angrily.
"Although His Royal Highnesses the Khitan King and the King of Yan are both kings of the same country. But there is a world of difference between the two. It can even be said that there is no comparison between the two at all. β
"My Royal Highness King Yan has it in his hands, and the Son of Heaven has given him a whip to drive the mountain. But under the Son of Heaven, any rebellious ministers and thieves will be cut first and then played. I don't know if the Khitan king has it? β
"His Royal Highness King Yan of my family is in charge of the current emperor, and he has the right to conquer the army. I don't know if the Khitan king has it. Liu Renliang looked at the Khitan King and said.
The Khitan king was speechless by Liu Renliang's words, because he really didn't have these two things. And how could the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty give such a thing to himself.
"Now that this king's soldiers are in the city, I don't know how your Yan King is going to deal with it. Are you going to kill this king with the mountain whip in your hand, or are you going to use the white yellow Yue to destroy my 100,000 Khitan iron horsemen? The Khitan King laughed and said to Liu Renliang.
"King Khitan, it seems that you haven't figured out the key to the matter yet. Do you think that with your 100,000 cavalry, you can occupy Youzhou City. I'm afraid the Khitan king is too naΓ―ve. Liu Renliang said with a wild smile.
"Hahaha, don't pretend in front of this king. This king has long known that your Yan King only has more than 100,000 troops in his hands. Now he has been taken away by Fan Yanglu's family for more than 100,000 yuan. β
He sent tens of thousands of horses to pursue Fanyang Lu's family to the Yalu River. I'm afraid that there are not even 20,000 horses in this Youzhou City now, right? The Khitan King said with a laugh.
"Khitan King, I don't know where you got the news. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a person named Changsun Xiang, who told you, right? Liu Renliang said to the Khitan King with a smile.
Hearing Liu Renliang say the name of Changsun Xiang, the Khitan King couldn't help but be stunned. Because all along, the person responsible for contacting him on behalf of the crown prince Li Chengqian is this eldest grandson Xiang.
Seeing the expression of the Khitan King, Liu Renliang continued to smile and said: "It seems that the Khitan King has fallen for the conspiracy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Xi. was used as a gun. β
"What did you say, you said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince united with King Xi and was ready to calculate this king. Where does this begin? The Khitan King pretended to be calm and said to Liu Renliang.
"The matter has come to this, why should the Khitan king be so dead and refuse to admit it. If it weren't for His Royal Highness King Yan, the person who intercepted your messenger would have intercepted you. How could they make preparations in advance and drive the Fan Yang Lu family out of Youzhou. Liu Renliang said to the Khitan king.
Liu Renliang's words had already made the Khitan King uneasy. After all, what Liu Renliang said is reasonable and well-founded. If Li Tai hadn't been prepared, how would he have responded to the mutiny of the Fan Yang Lu family.
Seeing the expression on the Khitan king's face, it became cloudy. Liu Renliang took advantage of the victory and said: "If the Khitan king doesn't believe it, he can send troops to attack Youzhou City." At that time, you will know how many defenders there are in Youzhou City. β
"His Royal Highness the King of Yan sent me here because he didn't want to see the Khitan King, and he lost his troops for others, but in the end, he was reaped by others for the benefit of fishermen."
"At present, this king and Li Tai, the king of Yan, can also be regarded as two countries. Since we are both enemies, why did he send you to remind the king? What is the purpose of His Royal Highness King Yan of your family, just say it directly. After thinking about it, the Khitan King said to Liu Renliang.
"As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Now His Royal Highness King Yan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are fighting for the position of the crown prince. I'm afraid that everyone in the world knows about it, and everyone knows it. β
"This is also the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will find the Khitan King. In order to use the hand of the Khitan King to eliminate His Royal Highness the King of Yan of my family. β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should promise the Khitan King that he would cede the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan in the future. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid this sentence was not only said to the Khitan king alone. Liu Renliang said.
"Are you saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promised the sixteen states of Yanyun to the King Xi of the Xi Kingdom?" The Khitan King opened his mouth and asked Liu Renliang.
"I'm afraid that what was promised to King Xi was not only the sixteen states of Yanyun. There should still be the Khitan King, your Khitan Kingdom. Liu Renliang said to the Khitan king.
"Hahaha, Li Tai'er used a divisive tactic, and he dared to get an axe in front of this king. How can this king be deceived by your little skill of carving insects? The Khitan King said with a laugh.
"It's understandable that the Khitan King doesn't believe it, but I have a way to make the Khitan King understand. Is His Royal Highness King Yan a kind persuasion, or sowing discord. Liu Renliang said to the Khitan king.
"Your Majesty, let him tell me about it. After all, planning ahead isn't a bad thing. If that's what he says, I'm afraid we'll be really passive. Xiao Motie whispered to the Khitan King.
"What the hell is there to say. If it turns out when the time comes, your Yan King is sowing discord. Then the king will give him back your head. The Khitan King had murderous eyes in his eyes and said to Liu Renliang.
"If the Khitan King does what I do, then it must be seen that there is a greasy relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Xi. Otherwise, I, Liu Renliang, am willing to give it to the Khitan king. Liu Renliang said to the Khitan King without fear.
"In that case, then this king will believe you once today." After the Khitan King nodded, he said to Liu Renliang.
"The Khitan king can send someone to inform King Xi and tell him that he will launch an attack on Youzhou City tomorrow. I hope he will send troops to cooperate with you in capturing the north gate. β
"I dare to guarantee that King Xi will definitely not contribute to the work at that time. It's just a pretentious feint, and it will definitely not be a sincere siege. Liu Renliang said to the Khitan king with confidence.
