Li Taide led the horse and followed the Song army on the rugged mountain road.

The blazing sunshine in June scorches the earth.

Therefore, the army marched very slowly and could only cover thirty miles a day.

However, I heard that after walking this section of the mountain road, you can take the waterway.

It will be much easier then.

"The territory of the Northern Dynasties is really huge!" Li Taide sighed in his heart.

In the past, he had only heard people say that the Northern Dynasty was vast, had a large population, and was wealthy but not powerful.

but now……

Li Taide just wanted to question those who said that the Northern Dynasty was not strong.

Is this also called not strong?

The Northern soldiers set out from Bianjing and fought for thousands of miles, but still hung up Jiaozhi to fight.

Moreover, it is said that the number of Northern soldiers who went south this time was no more than ten thousand.

The rest are soldiers and horses from Guangxi and soldiers and horses from the chieftain.

In other words, the northern soldiers, who numbered less than 10,000, led a group of chieftain rebels, completely defeated and annihilated Dai Viet's tens of thousands of hundreds of battles, killed and captured dozens of generals.

Even military gods like Captain Li Changjie were captured alive!

The Northern Soldiers are so scary!

Exaggeratedly powerful!

What is even more exaggerated is that after many defeated soldiers ran back, they said something like, "There is a thunder male and lightning female in the northern army, who can thunder and speak lightning" and so on.

There are even some people who have said that "when I saw the Bodhisattva in the northern army formation, he struck the elephant soldiers and turned them into powder".

Li Taide didn't believe it at all.

They are all exaggerations and lies.

To believe them, it is better to believe that Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty can summon meteorites!

Nine times out of ten, it was just an illusion caused by the self-awareness of the defeated soldiers after their defeat.

This kind of thing happens a lot on the battlefield.

However, Jiaozhi Middle School was still shocked by these rumors.

Morale has collapsed.

No one dared to fight against the Beibei soldiers who were "shown by the Bodhisattva".

There is only one reason why the Jiaozhi garrison can still defend the Furiang River - the Northern Army has not attacked the Furiang River.

If we really want the northern army, we will form a navy in the north of the Yangtze River and fight across the Furiang River.

The speed at which Jiaozhi's soldiers and horses could be defeated was probably beyond imagination.

This is also the reason why Cochin people are now so willing to deliver the first batch of tribute rice.

Spend money to buy peace!

The first choice of all rulers of feudal dynasties.

As for the consequences?

Who can care?

Dying today and dying tomorrow are different concepts.

Just when he was thinking about this, Li Taide felt a voice coming from behind him: "Your Majesty Chongxian, please stay."

He turned around and saw the figure of Song State General Yan Chen wearing a purple robe.

This man was Yanda, the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty, the son of the pioneer general Guo Kui during his southern campaign more than ten years ago.

He was also the commander of the northern army Yu Longzhi who led the southern expedition.

At the same time, this person's reputation is now prestigious throughout Jiaozhi.

because……

He and the military medical team he commanded saved countless lives on the battlefield.

Among them were a large number of Cochin nobles.

After the peace negotiation, these nobles were judged to have not participated in Li Changjie's massacre of the city, and they were allowed to have their families redeem them.

As these people were redeemed, the news that they were treated by Song Army doctors also spread in Shenglong Mansion.

People will always respect those who can save people's lives.

Otherwise, why are most monks and Taoist priests now skilled in medicine? Many eminent monks and celebrities are even famous doctors themselves?

"General Yan." Li Taide immediately bowed and saluted. He knew in his heart that he was only respectful in front of a Northern Dynasty military general with the rank of ambassador: "What are your orders, General Unknown?"

"You're welcome, Marquis Chongxian!" Yan Chen smiled and returned the courtesy, and asked: "I came here to ask Marquis Chongxian: How has Marquis Chongxian felt since he entered our court?"

"As expected of our great country, the land is vast and rich!"

"Huh?" Yan Chen's eyes widened.

He had just received a secret official order from Bianjing.

"Have you thought clearly, Marquis Chongxian?" Yan Chen quietly put his hand on the scabbard of his sword at his waist.

Although it was just a ceremonial sword, it had almost no actual combat value.

But you can also kill people.

Li Taide was shocked and immediately changed his words: "No... no..."

"The scenery of China is so majestic and beautiful that I can see it in my lifetime, and I will die without regrets!" As he said this, he forced out a tear.

It's just a matter of giving in, it's not that difficult.

Since ancient times, haven't there been many cases in which the surrounding small countries have humbled themselves when faced with the powerful powers of the Central Plains, obeyed and surrendered, then turned around and closed their doors, proclaimed themselves emperors, and overstepped their bounds?

Isn’t this what Zhao Tuo, the last separatist ruler of Jiaozhi, did?

"China?" Yan Chen asked with murderous intent in a cold tone: "Have you thought carefully, Marquis Chongxian?"

"Yes...yes..." Li Taide's brain started to work rapidly: "It's the Holy Dynasty!"

"To be honest, general, I am so impressed by the beauty of the mountains and rivers in the Holy Palace that I wish I could die in the Holy Palace..."

He was so scared.

I was afraid that if this Song general really gave him a sword, he would turn around and report back to him: he would slip and fall to his death.

He rolled a mat hastily for him and buried him on the spot.

He dared to swear that once such a thing happened, his dear brother Li Qiande would never get involved in it.

He would even happily apologize.

He easily took his son into his lap.

Then it will be as if he does not exist.

He, Li Taide, does not exist.

Yan Chen stared closely at the younger brother of the King of Jiaozhi in front of him.

Look at him trembling with fear.

After waiting for a long time, Yan Chen showed a smile and reached out to support the King of Jiaozhi who was about to kneel down in fear.

"It is truly a blessing to the world that Marquis Chongxian has such recognition! It is also a blessing to Marquis Chongxian! It is even more fortunate to Jiaozhi!"

Li Taide swallowed his saliva and felt the calloused hands of the Song general. He seemed to have collapsed and could only say: "What the general said is true!"

I am a fisherman and a fisherman!

Besides bowing his head and being submissive, does he have any other choice?

No!

He didn't even dare to say harsh words, let alone show any dissatisfaction.

Because the Song people were very narrow-minded in this regard.

Except for the Qian family of Wu and Yue, who was always respectful and was regarded as a model by Song and Zhao, who was kind and generous.

The other kings who lost their country did not live a good life in Bianjing.

Yan Chen looked at the Prince of Jiaozhi with a smile and said to him: "As long as you don't forget today, Lord Chongxian, you will always win!"

"Yes... yes... yes... the general is right." Li Taide nodded repeatedly.

"That's not what I said." Yan Chen suddenly looked serious, faced the direction of Bianjing, cupped his hands and said, "This is the sound of today's virtue!"

Li Taide was suddenly sweating profusely, knowing that he had just passed through the gate of hell.
