Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 499 Do You Dare to Fight?

Tao Jinwang laughed: "Wanyan Qingtian, why didn't you say something like this when you massacred a large number of people in Zhenxi?"

"Alas, this is a different time now. When will this cycle of revenge end? This is all for the country. There is no personal grudge. Now..."

"Stop talking nonsense. The Zhenxi Army has already reached here. You can't just give up if you want to."

Tao Jinwang waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Yes, yes, yes. We went to Zhenxi, and you went to Baruxishi. No one suffered any loss, and neither of us gained much advantage. However, if this continues, the losses of both countries will be even greater. What do you think?"

Wanyan Qingtian felt aggrieved, but he had to say nice things.

"You didn't take advantage? How much money and supplies did you rob from Zhenxi? How many people did you kill? How many civilians and soldiers did you abduct to become your slaves? Don't you have an idea?"

Tao Jinwang stared at Wanyan Qingtian coldly.

"You, Master Tie, can't defeat our Zhenxi Army today, so you want to give up and negotiate? How can such a good thing happen in this world?"

Wanyan Qingtian smiled and said, "Hey, General Tao, we are talking now. Feel free to ask for any conditions you have. We will do our best to compensate you for your losses. When two countries interact, peace is the most valuable thing."

"Don't try to talk about peace, it's impossible. Let your emperor wait and see if my Zhenxi Army can capture the Tiezhen Imperial City."

Tao Jinwang's tone was very firm.

"General Tao, please stop saying these angry words. Our intentions are very clear. It's best to let General Lin know our sincerity in the peace talks."

"Where is your sincerity? How come I didn't see it? How dare you go to see General Lin?"

Tao Jinwang glanced at Wanyan Qingtian and sneered.

Wanyan Qingtian said sincerely with a smile on his face.

"You want to talk? You can put forward your conditions. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

"We don't have the time. Let's go back. If two armies fight and don't kill the envoys, I can't guarantee that I can suppress my soldiers next time."

Tao Jinwang was firm in his attitude.

Wanyan Qingtian continued to ask without giving up.

"General Tao, we have to ask General Lin to give us a general framework, right?"

"No, show me your sincerity first, then we can talk about other things."

Tao Jinwang waved his hand unceremoniously.

"Let's go. I won't see you off."

Seeing Tao Jinwang's firm attitude, Wanyan Qingtian stood up helplessly and walked out with regret on his face.

After a group of more than ten riders left the city gate, Wanyan Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning to look at Song Yi.

"Song Yi, how do you feel?"

Song Yi hurriedly pulled his warhorse forward and came to Wanyan Qingtian.

"Sir, this General Tao's tone suggests he's alive and can be negotiated, but I feel something is amiss in the city."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Where are Lin Feng's 30,000 troops?"

Both of them are veterans on the battlefield and have a high sensitivity to the military.

Indeed, from the moment I arrived outside the city to the moment I walked into the city, I discovered the problem.

Wanyan Qingtian was still a little short, but Song Yi was very familiar with Lin Feng's team, and he didn't see anyone familiar.

Not even a single senior general of the Qingshui Army was seen.

Where did this General Tao come from?

At worst, at least a few of Lin Feng’s close associates will show up.

In short, there is something weird.

After Wanyan Anxu was defeated, the Tiezhen intelligence system collapsed, and there were no Tiezhen cavalry near the city of Baruxishi.

There is no way of knowing about Lin Feng's withdrawal.

Wanyan Qingtian was also puzzled.

"Song Yi, where did Lin Feng go?"

"Sir, should we turn a corner and take a walk here?"

Song Yi did not answer his question, but instead made a suggestion.

"Oh, that makes sense. Let's go over there."

Wanyan Qingtian immediately understood Song Yi's meaning, turned his horse around, and strolled in another direction with his guards.

According to Wanyan Qingtian's understanding, the Qingshui Army at that time had set up a camp outside the city.

The exact location is unknown, but we probably know the direction.

But as they walked along, they did not see the Qingshui Army's camp.

Wanyan Qingtian and Song Yi looked at each other and felt that the problem was even bigger.

"Sir, there are two answers. One is that Lin Feng is heading deeper into Tiezhen from another direction."

"Where's the other one?"

"As for the other one... Lin Feng withdrew his troops."

Song Yi is an old soldier, so he naturally knows all about this.

Wanyan Qingtian frowned: "Which one do you think is more likely?"

"Sir, if we haven't received any battle reports recently, I'm afraid the latter possibility is more likely."

"But Lin Feng was in the midst of a great victory, why would he suddenly withdraw his troops?"

Song Yi shook his head, feeling confused.

Wanyan Qingtian changed his perspective and asked, "How many soldiers do you think are there in Baruxishi City?"

He asked this question not only to Song Yi, but also to the dozen or so guards around him.

Everyone was frowning and thinking, recalling the situation in the city.

It was Song Yi who answered first: "Sir, I don't think it will be more than 5,000 people."

The other guards all nodded, agreeing with Song Yi's judgment.

Wanyan Qingtian stroked his chin and squinted his eyes as he looked at the endless wilderness.

"Interesting, where did Lin Feng go?"

Song Yi was brought to Wanyan Qingtian's side. She was well fed and warmly clothed, and her mind began to become active again.

At this moment, his eyes lit up and an idea that made him tremble with excitement came into his mind.

"Sir, do you dare to give it a try?"

Wanyan Qingtian also realized what Song Yi wanted to say, and his eyes twitched slightly.

"Sir, taking over the city of Baruxisi will be a great opportunity for you to turn things around."

Song Yi stared closely into Wanyan Qingtian's eyes.

Since I have followed Wanyan Qingtian, my fate will be tied to his, and we will prosper and suffer together.

Wanyan Qingtian was hesitating and struggling in his heart.

He knew very well that Lin Feng was not someone to be trifled with. If he made a mistake in judgment, he and his entire family would be doomed.

He looked at Song Yi's excited face.

This man from the Dazong clan had his mind twisted by hatred, and he only wanted to deal with Lin Feng.

Originally, Wanyan Qingtian wanted to negotiate terms with Lin Feng, which would be nothing more than a large amount of property, or ceding land as compensation, etc.

Finally, when they are arguing over the conditions, he can offer Song Yi to her.

This is Lin Feng's enemy. Lin Feng will definitely give in on other conditions in order to kill his enemy.

Who would have thought that things would turn out like this.

Lin Feng withdrew his troops, leaving behind only about 5,000 men.

Is this an opportunity or a trap?

Inside the city of Baruxi, Tao Jinwang sat in the house in a daze.

He was also helpless. If he refused to allow more than a dozen Tartars to enter the city, he would appear too guilty and would inevitably be exposed.

Although he had arranged his soldiers to appear busy, groups of people ran through the streets from time to time.

But it still cannot cover up the problem of too small a military force.

After Wanyan Qingtian left, Tao Jinwang pondered for a while.

"Da Zhuang, do you think the Tartars will attack the city?"
