When Li Qiande heard the news that the Liangshan bandits had destroyed the Song Dynasty,
They only thought that the Central Plains would be in great chaos.
In his opinion,
In less than ten years,
It is unlikely that the Central Plains will be unified again.
By then, the Ly Dynasty of Vietnam would be able to completely assimilate Guangxi and Guangdong.
The population and land of the Song Dynasty increased by two routes.
The Viet Ly Dynasty might even be able to expand further north.
They were not afraid of the dynasties in the Central Plains at all.
He just hadn't expected the Great Liang to be unified so quickly.
And they have such powerful weapons.
Of course, without such powerful weapons,
They cannot unify the world so quickly.
One of the Yue generals suggested, "Why don't we sue for peace with the Great Liang?"
Someone immediately retorted, "How do we ask for it?"
"Should we return the people and money we've looted?"
"Then weren't our dead and wounded soldiers killed in vain?"
Li Qiande shook his head and said, "Even if we send back the people and the money,"
"Da Liang may not accept our peace proposal."
"The Western Xia plundered Han Chinese,"
"As a result, the Liang King of Daliang led his troops to destroy the Western Xia."
"The Western Xia must have sought peace at some point."
Nguyen Nhat Thanh said, "Does the King mean that we can only fight?"
Li Qiande nodded and said, "If we want to negotiate peace, we'll have to wait until summer."
"The continuous rain will cause them to suffer from acclimatization problems and lead to epidemics."
"They must want to wipe us out right now."
Nguyen Nhat Thanh has really softened his stance.
He also claimed he wanted to come and rob a fortune.
However, he was a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong.
Now I wish I could escape to the south of the Viet Ly Dynasty in one breath.
"It's only January,"
"It won't get rainy until April,"
Where are we going to fight them for three months?
Commander-in-Chief Zhang Boyu said, "Why don't we send an envoy to Daliang to apologize and seek peace?"
"It would be best to send another envoy to Tokyo to apologize."
"They want to report to Tokyo,"
"Even at top speed, it would take at least ten days to go back and forth."
“We have been constantly seeking peace with them,”
"We can always stall them for a while."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiande
His eyes lit up, and he nodded.
"Commander, your plan is excellent,"
"Then let's use a delaying tactic."
"Who will go to apologize to King Liang of Liang?"
the people heard,
They all immediately lowered their heads.
No one wanted to be an envoy.
Although the two countries were at war,
Do not kill the envoy.
However, they engaged in arson, murder, and looting on Guangxi Road.
They also didn't think that Han people would still adhere to "propriety" as before.
Li Qiande looked around.
Seeing that Zhang Boyu was also bowing his head and remaining silent, he then said,
"This plan was devised by the Commander-in-Chief,"
"Then let the Commander-in-Chief go."
"As long as this matter is accomplished,"
"I'm promoting you to Grand Commandant."
Zhang Boyu watched as the king issued his order.
They had no choice but to accept the order.
Li Qiande had just sent someone to prepare a gift for Zhao Yuan.
Then they heard that the chieftains of the thirty-six caves had come looking for them.
After the thirty-six chieftains withdrew,
They were also wary of the Vietnamese Ly Dynasty robbing them.
Then they escaped back.
Therefore, they did not station themselves in Yongzhou city.
Instead, they camped outside the city.
Seeing the defeated troops retreating from Kunlun Pass
They all rushed over to find out what was going on.
Li Qiande let thirty-six men in.
Chaos immediately erupted in the hall.
"How did Kunlun Pass fall?"
"Why did the troops from Jincheng Post Station and Guiren Post Station retreat?"
"Are you going to run back?"
……
Although the power of the thirty-six caves varied in size,
But there was no leader.
Immediately, everyone started questioning Li Qiande.
Li Qiande still needs the Thirty-Six Caves.
It's not good to fall out with them.
"The Great Liang launched a surprise attack on Kunlun Pass,"
"The troops at Jincheng Post Station and Guiren Post Station are not many,"
"So I had them withdraw."
"We will engage in a decisive battle with the Liang army in Yongzhou City,"
"I urge all the chieftains to be prepared for battle at any time."
One of the cave chiefs questioned,
"Aren't you trying to escape?"
Li Qiande shook his head and said.
"Behind us lies the territory of my Viet Ly Dynasty,"
"How could we have led the Liang army to our country?"
"That's true, you can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple."
"Yes, they shouldn't run away."
The chieftains of the thirty-six caves exchanged their views.
They also felt that it was unlikely that Li Qiande would bring the war to their own territory.
As for the battle in Yongzhou,
They didn't have any objections.
Yongzhou was a city inhabited by Han Chinese.
They have their own mountains, forests, and villages in the thirty-six villages.
As long as we don't fight in their village, it's fine.
Li Qiande watched as the foolish chieftains of the thirty-six caves returned.
He also ordered the troops in the city to prepare for battle.
That night, Li Qiande discovered that the Liang troops had already set up camp at Guirenpu.
They urged Zhang Boyu to come and surrender overnight.
When Zhao Yuan heard that an envoy from Yue was seeking an audience with him...
He immediately spoke to Hua Rong, who was on duty.
"The leader was killed,"
"All his followers were reduced to slavery,"
"Kill them all if they resist."
Chapter 1803 Kill!
Zhang Boyu was waiting for news outside the city with his troops.
Hearing that soldiers were suddenly surrounding them, they hurriedly shouted...
"We have come to seek peace,"
"Please allow us to see the King of Liang."
"Sir, let's rush back."
The guards, however, pulled Zhang Boyu away.
Zhang Boyu looked at the archers on the city wall who had already drawn their bows and nocked their arrows, and shook his head.
"We can't leave,"
"If you don't resist, there might still be a way to survive."
"Otherwise, they would be shot to death by a hail of arrows immediately."
The guards also sensed that a large number of soldiers were closing in from all sides.
