"All of you come with me and tell the brother above to pay attention to my gestures."
Niu Jinda pointed to several guards around him and prepared to go over to negotiate with them, but during the negotiation process, our artillery must be given a chance to fire.
When we were negotiating with Silla and Baekje, Niu Jinda was there. Our prince used this method, using our artillery to let them see how powerful we are. After seeing this scene, most people would bow their heads, and those who didn't would lose their lives.
"General, isn't this too dangerous? If they arrest you..."
The subordinates said with some concern that they knew what Niu Jinda meant. Now the two sides have not met each other. If we rashly open fire, it would be equivalent to attacking the other side. Even if the other side is so timid, the hundreds of thousands of troops will rush over directly, and then we will mess up the task assigned by His Highness.
His Highness has made it very clear that a small-scale battle should let the other side know how powerful we are, and then make them admit defeat at the negotiation table. This is your mission, not actually fighting with the other side, which is a last resort.
"Just be at ease. Just look at those cowards. Considering the current prestige of the Tang Dynasty, if they really had the guts, would they still be standing there? 100,000 people facing 2,000 people would have sent people to charge. Even though I only have a few of us, we have the mighty Tang Dynasty standing behind us."
Niu Jinda's words instantly boosted the morale of his men. Our general was right. Our Tang Dynasty is now at its peak, and all the surrounding countries that should be destroyed have been destroyed. As long as you have no problem with your brains, you will definitely not cause trouble for us at this time. Even if we turn our heads sideways, do you really dare to strike us?
"General, it seems someone is coming over here."
General Kang Ying's personal soldiers also saw this scene. The Tang army on the distant hillside did not move, but just stood there. A team of more than 30 cavalrymen came over.
"Come with me and see what's going on."
General Kang Ying also understood this rule. When the two armies were not fighting, a small number of the enemy troops came out, which meant they wanted to say something to the enemy commander. They had only more than 2,000 people and they dared to do such a thing, but we have more than 100,000 people. If we didn't dare to go out, not only would we be laughed at, but the soldiers under us would also look down on us.
"No one can act rashly without my order."
Before leaving, General Kang Ying issued another order. He was also a man who was well-versed in military books. Many people lost their lives in this military meeting. At that time, they were all in the central area of the two armies. If someone in the rear made any small moves, the generals who went there to talk would be in great danger.
Several people General Kang Ying trusted nodded, and then galloped towards their respective troops. With these people, General Kang Ying knew that the rest of the people would not act rashly.
When they arrived in front of the two armies, both of them recognized each other.
"So it's General Niu. Did you know this is no longer Gaochang's territory?"
As the landlord, General Kang Ying said with some dissatisfaction that the 100,000 people behind him were also his confidence.
"General, you are so polite. I don't want to come to a place like this. I am here for serious matters..."
Niu Jinda made up a story, saying that the enemy's scouts had beaten up our people and were almost dying in the barracks, so now we must bring those scouts back.
Hearing Niu Jinda's words, General Kang Ying's face was filled with suspicion. He had already instructed his scouts to stay away if they encountered Tang troops. His men were very obedient. How could they possibly go up and beat them up? Moreover, the gap in equipment between the two sides was so huge. If a fight really broke out, we would be the ones who suffered the most.
"General Niu, have you found out? Where did our scouts attack you? How many of you are there? What kind of flags did they have?"
General Kang Ying is not a fool. He would not arrest someone just because of Niu Jinda's casual words. He must get to the bottom of this matter. If such a thing really happened, General Kang Ying is willing to hand the person over. What he fears most is that Niu Jinda will make trouble out of nothing.
"Yesterday morning at Lunxipo, there were fifteen of you and only two of us. You came to borrow water bags, but after giving them the water, you beat us up."
Niu Jinda knew very well the configuration of the Western Region Allied Forces' reconnaissance forces, and someone did pass by there yesterday morning. Even if they were looking for trouble, we had to do our homework.
After hearing what Niu Jinda said, General Kang Ying turned around and said a few words, and then the two cavalrymen quickly returned to their camp. They wanted to find out all the people who patrolled Lunxipo yesterday morning.
Niu Jinda also got off his horse, put his hands behind his back, and did not say anything to General Kang Ying.
Under the watchful eyes of so many people, most people would not dare to get off their horses. If the enemy suddenly attacks, you would be at a disadvantage if you don't have a horse. They only need to draw their swords and chop you diagonally, and your head would most likely be gone.
But Niu Jinda didn't care about this at all. His courage was admired by the Tang Dynasty soldiers behind him, and it also made all the coalition soldiers see that this man was extremely brave.
Less than half an incense stick of time passed before the sound of horse hooves could be heard behind them. It turned out that all the soldiers who had gone out for reconnaissance that day had been brought here. There were fifteen people in total, not one less. After hearing what General Kang Ying's guards said, these people suddenly felt very aggrieved. They had been outside for a whole morning, and not only had they not beaten up a Tang Dynasty soldier, they hadn't even seen a hair of a Tang Dynasty soldier. How could they leave?
These people reported to General Kang Ying in a hushed voice. Listening to their reports, General Kang Ying also paid attention to their expressions. When they finished speaking, General Kang Ying's heart skipped a beat. It was clear that these people were not here to call for punishment. These people were really here to cause trouble. If someone was lying, fifteen people couldn't all lie, not to mention that such a thing could not be concealed. This was troublesome...
