Chapter 37 Brave, Qin Qiong!
"I don't know what the general is called?" Li Xiu smiled and said to the yellow-faced general. In contrast, he prefers to deal with military generals, which may be influenced by Ma Ye. In fact, most military generals are not good people, but coincidentally, Li Xiu is not good people either, so he and these military generals are also considered to be in a bad mood.
"Qin Qiong!" The yellow-faced general said with a constant expression, and then continued to lower his head to eat noodles.
"Idol!" Li Xiu almost called out when he heard this familiar name. He grew up with his grandfather when he was a child. Influenced by his grandfather, he also liked to listen to storytelling. Among them, "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" was heard countless times. Among the many generals, his favorite was Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao who was good at Yibo Yuntian. Later, after going to school, he realized that most of the contents in storytelling were fictional, and most of the stories of Qin Qiong in the Romance were compiled by others. He was sad for a while.
It is precisely because he grew up listening to Qin Qiong's stories since childhood that Li Xiu also had an idol-like feeling towards Qin Qiong. After traveling to the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong was definitely among the top three of the people he wanted to see the most, but he didn't expect to see the other person under such circumstances.
"It turned out to be General Qin. I have heard that the general is extremely brave. It is easy to take the general's head among thousands of people. It is fascinating to think about it!" Li Xiu said enthusiastically at the moment. Suddenly, he met his childhood idol, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
In the storytelling of the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Qin Qiong's military power was not very powerful, and he was only ranked last among the thirteen heroes. But in the real history of the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, Qin Qiong's bravery was the best. When Li Shimin met a powerful general in the enemy's army on the stage, he often let Qin Qiong take action, and he was always invincible. Even when facing the enemy's large troops, Qin Qiong dared to charge with only dozens of cavalry, and often defeated the more with fewer. The most famous time was that Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande's 100,000 army with thousands of cavalry, and Qin Qiong played a key role.
"It's too good!" Qin Qiong seemed to have the habit of cherishing words and saying goodbye to gold. This is very similar to Lao Qi around Ma Ye. Is this the occupational disease of being a bodyguard?
After Qin Qiong finished speaking, he still lowered his head to eat noodles. It seemed that Li Xiu was not as attractive to him as a bowl of noodles, which made Li Xiu feel a little embarrassed. However, he was not the one who gave up easily. He asked a series of questions deliberately: "General Qin is so old this year, where is he from? Is there a marriage?"
"Thirty-six, Qizhou, there is a wife!" Qin Qiong was still cold and still answered Li Xiu's three questions in three words, which made Li Xiu suddenly feel like he was interrogating a prisoner. If Qin Qiong had always communicated with others like this, it would be too boring.
"How about it, are you defeated?" At this moment, Ma Ye pulled Li Xiu aside with gloating expressions and said, "But don't mind, Shu Bao is always like this, and he can't make a fuck with three slaps. But if he treats you as a friend, then you will have another brother who can entrust your life in your life."
Li Xiu believed that the words of Ma Ye were talking about Qin Qiong, and that the words of placing a knife for his friends were about Qin Qiong. Such a person is definitely a trustworthy friend. However, he suddenly thought of Lao Qi beside Ma Ye, and asked immediately: "Uncle Ma, why does General Qin speak so much like Lao Qi? Is it related to them?"
"Haha, it's okay to tell you. Lao Qi was originally Shu Bao's personal soldier. He didn't learn anything else, but he learned a lot when he spoke." Mr. Ma replied with a smile.
"Huh? No, since Lao Qi is General Qin's personal soldier, how could he keep following you Uncle Ma?" Li Xiu asked strangely again. The personal soldiers around the general are not something that ordinary people can do. They must be all confidants, and they are usually selected from the army. Loyalty is the first. Since Lao Qi is Qin Qiong's personal soldier, it should be impossible for him to leave him.
"Then don't worry, anyway, Lao Qi is my person now following me!" Mr. Ma said proudly at this time, but he pretended to be mysterious and unwilling to say more. This made Li Xiu guess with some malicious speculation. Could it be that there is any relationship between Mr. Ma and Qin Qiong that transcends the worldly understanding?
After the meal, Li Shimin stayed here for a while, but he might have suffered too much psychological trauma, so he just talked to Ma Ye and the others about military affairs, and then left. Li Xiu stayed there honestly and listened. From the conversation between Li Shimin and Ma Ye and the others, Li Xiu could feel Li Shimin's tough attitude towards the Turks. It seemed that Jie Li would not take advantage of him again this time.
Three days later, Jie Li sent an envoy into the city and demanded to negotiate with Li Shimin on the battlefield. Li Shimin also agreed immediately. On the day of the negotiation, the Turkic army took the initiative to retreat for several miles, and Li Shimin only brought hundreds of personal guards out of the city. Both sides showed sincerity in the negotiation.
Li Xiu and Ma Ye stood above the head of the city. Princess Pingyang sat on the chair between them. Because the negotiation was too important and Princess Pingyang was worried about her brother's safety, she ignored her injuries and asked someone to lift her to the head of the city to watch. Li Xiu, as her attending doctor, naturally had to take care of her. Ma Ye was not relieved, so he followed closely. As for the other generals in the city, they all led their troops to prepare. If the Turks did not keep their promises, it would be detrimental to the King of Qin, they would immediately break out of the city to rescue.
After Li Shimin left the city, the Turkic army opposite also walked out of a cavalry of hundreds of people. Because it was too far away, it was not real, but Jie Li should be among these cavalry. At this time, Li Shimin also commanded his own personal guards to step forward, and the two sides stopped when they were about one mile apart.
Li Shimin had seen Jie Li before, and at first glance he saw Jie Li among the Turkic cavalry. He lifted the reins and urged his horse to move forward, with only one general behind him to protect him. At this time, Li Xiu on the top of the city recognized him at first glance, and the general who followed Li Shimin forward was Qin Qiong.
"Can Khan come forward and talk?" Li Shimin and Qin Qiong walked forward a hundred meters, but Jie Li Khan on the opposite side was not moving at all. At that moment, Li Shimin also stopped and whispered loudly, he was not such a rash person. In fact, he had already made complete preparations when he dared to go out of the city to see Jie Li.
Just as Li Shimin finished speaking, a sudden change occurred on the field. Five Turkic generals suddenly rushed out of the cavalry on Jie Li, and rushed towards Li Shimin with their weapons waving in front of him.
"Not good!" Li Xiu, who was on the top of the city, couldn't help but scream in fear when he saw this. There was only Qin Qiong beside Li Shimin, but the other party rushed out five people at once. Although the Tang army behind him could also rescue, the two sides had already set a distance apart, and there were also many Turkic cavalry on the opposite side. If there was a real conflict, Li Shimin might be in danger.
"Don't worry, with Uncle Bao here, the King of Qin will not be in danger!" Compared to Li Xiu's panic, Ma Ye and others seemed very calm, and even Princess Pingyang, who was sitting on the chair, did not show too worried.
Seeing the five Turkic generals getting closer, Li Shimin and Qin Qiong had no intention of escaping. Just as the other party had just rushed to a hundred steps, Qin Qiong suddenly saw him reaching out to take off the bow and arrow from his horse. "Bang bang bang~" three bowstrings sounds were almost connected together, and three long arrows rushed out like lightning.
What shocked Li Xiu was that Qin Qiong shot out three arrows and didn't look at them. He hung the bow again and slapped out the horse. After his horse rushed out, the three Turkic generals who rushed in front were then caught in the arrow. This magical archery technique and the confidence that the arrows would surely hit, Li Xiu on the top of the city couldn't help but cheer.
However, Li Xiu became nervous again. Although three Turkic generals were shot to death, the remaining two Turkic generals still rushed over without changing their faces. There was only Qin Qiong on the opposite side. They were all warriors from the Turkic ones, and they had absolute confidence to knock down the not-strong Tang general.
"Kill!" Just as Qin Qiong and the two Turkic generals intersected horses, the three of them shouted almost at the same time. Li Xiu only heard a few short sounds of weapons colliding, but he didn't see the movements of Qin Qiong and the others clearly. When the three horses intersected, one of the Turkic generals turned over and fell off the horse, while the other Turkic man was already carried by Qin Qiong with one hand on the horse spear. The blood stained the spear body red. The entire battlefield was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Qiong.
"What happened? Why was it so fast?" Li Xiu said in disbelief at this time. The actions of Qin Qiong and the other two had exceeded his eyesight just now. He still didn't know how Qin Qiong did it.
"When the two sides intertwined, Shubao stabbed the Turkic general on the right with his spear in his right hand, pulled out his treasure mace with his left hand, and smashed the weapons of the Turkic people on the left with his mace, and even smashed his head!" At this time, Ma Ye helped Li Xiu explain, with a hint of fascination in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
With Ma Ye's explanation, the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield finally reacted. At that moment, the Tang army was cheering, but the Turks on the opposite side looked at each other, and many of them looked even more frightened. The five Turkic generals who died were all famous warriors in the army, but were killed by the other party in the blink of an eye. This kind of courage was like a god of war.
"Dadada~" At this time, Qin Qiong picked up the body of the Turkic general with one hand, slowed down his horse and came to Jie Li Khan's cavalry, and then threw the body into the Turkic cavalry with one wave. As a result, the cavalry company in front was so scared that they retreated, and no one dared to come forward to stop him, allowing Qin Qiong to ride alone and return to Li Shimin's side.
Seeing that Qin Qiong had lost all the morale of attacking the Turks with his own strength, this made the Tang army burst into an endless cheer again. I don’t know who was the one who started it. The shouts of “God, Qin Qiong!” were connected, and everyone was shouting Qin Qiong’s name. For a moment, the morale of the Tang army also reached its peak.
On the other hand, the Turks had low morale, and Jie Li, among the cavalry, secretly called unlucky. Originally, he sent five generals not to really kill Li Shimin, but wanted to use this method to slash the spirit of the Tang army, but he did not expect to backfire, which would make the Tang army more morale. It would be difficult for the subsequent negotiations to gain any advantage.
