After these people finished their report, they all stood in front of the anti-British general with terrified faces. There have been all kinds of rumors in the military camp in recent days. In short, they don't want to fight with the Tang army. They also know how powerful the Tang army is. If they really go up to fight, they will have no way to survive.
If it were an ordinary army, they might not know how terrifying the Tang army was, but this army was a scout army, constantly active near the border. They saw much more than an ordinary army, so they naturally knew how powerful the Tang army was.
If someone else came to cause trouble, their coalition forces would not joke around, and the cavalry behind them could attack instantly. But now it was the Tang army that came to their door, so they were unsure. Although General Kang Ying looked aggressive, it was hard to say what he would do next. Maybe in order to please the Tang Dynasty, he would hand them over directly to the Tang army.
General Kang Ying slowly turned around, and the people present breathed a sigh of relief. But who knew that the next sentence almost drove them crazy.
"Tie up all these people for me."
At General Kang Ying's words, dozens of soldiers nearby came over with ropes. It was obvious that they had been prepared long ago. It turned out that General Kang Ying had given the order long ago that no matter how you did this, in order to calm the anger of the Tang people, we must hand you over to them.
"General, we really haven't done this."
"We are all performing our official duties and we have done nothing out of line."
These soldiers panicked instantly and began to shout loudly, hoping that the soldiers around them could give them some encouragement, but the soldiers around them watched it all indifferently.
They also knew that these people were performing their official duties and following orders from above, and they did not do anything out of the ordinary in the process of executing the orders. However, the Tang army in the distance was already on high alert. It took only a few days for the Tang army to capture Gaochang, a powerful country in the Western Regions. Was this a joke?
Now the Tang army has set its sights on them. No matter what reason they use to cause trouble, they must listen. If they ignore the Tang army, the two thousand people in front of them may become 20,000, or even 200,000. After all, they all know that the Tang Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of troops to the east to attack Goguryeo.
Kang Ying's move to attack the general made Niu Jinda on the opposite side dumbfounded. According to Niu Jinda's idea, General Kang Ying would definitely refuse. As long as you refuse, then we can take out what we should prepare next, but General Kang Ying directly brought these people over.
"It has been verified that everything General Niu said is true. We wish to maintain peace with the Tang Dynasty and do not want these people to hinder the relationship between the two sides. I will hand these people over to General Niu directly. You have the final say on whether to kill or chop them up."
Now, not only Niu Jinda was dumbfounded, but also his men, their brains were a little confused. How could you not play by the rules? They had thought of countless possibilities before, but they had never thought of this.
"Um...oh...bring it here."
Niu Jinda was a little confused for a moment, but since they did it, he had to respond. He originally wanted to get angry here and show them the military power of the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect that they didn't give him a chance.
Many soldiers in the Western Regions coalition were dissatisfied, but they didn't dare show it. They all knew how powerful the Tang army was. What was the point of wrongly accusing a dozen of you? If you really dared to resist, you might attack at any time, so the sacrifice of these dozen soldiers was nothing.
The dozen or so people who were tied up had tears in their eyes. They didn't know how to explain this. We just went out to perform the mission according to the orders of our superiors. We didn't attack the Tang Dynasty patrolmen. We even hid far away when we saw them. Is this not okay?
The Tang soldiers stepped out quickly and took over these dozen soldiers. The soldiers of the Western Region coalition quickly retreated. They didn't want to have any contact with the Tang soldiers. Niu Jinda was a little worried at this time. How can I get angry when you do things like this?
"General Niu, is there anything else?"
General Kang Ying felt uncomfortable, but he had to say what he had to say. He had to find a way to explain to his subordinates the peace that was achieved by sacrificing more than a dozen soldiers, so he didn't want to entertain Niu Jinda here.
"Oh, nothing..."
Niu Jinda didn't know how to use all his strength. This was because this guy was quite honest. If it was Su Dingfang, wouldn't it be easy for him to cause trouble?
General Kang Ying said nothing, staring at Niu Jinda with his eyes. General Niu immediately understood what to do. Now that people have been handed over to you, do you still want to stay here?
Li Xiang was already prepared, and his 5,000 men were ready to support Niu Jinda at any time. However, instead of receiving a distress signal, Niu Jinda returned with his men.
Niu Jinda described the incident in detail. Li Xiang and Lord Zhao listened carefully. They didn't expect that after planning for such a long time, it would be resolved in this way.
It's like you go to seek revenge on someone, you kill their eldest son, and then they send you their second son as well. How can you still get angry?
"He's a ruthless person."
Li Xiang also admired him sincerely. Such a man led an army of hundreds of thousands and sent his brothers out to die. It seemed that his life would not be easy in the next period of time.
"I can't do such a thing. My brothers strictly followed your orders, and in the end you used them as scapegoats. If I found such a person in my army, I would drag him to death with a horse."
Niu Jinda said angrily, how did these people go and come back, with a hint of confusion on their faces. They obviously went there to look for trouble, but they came back without looking for anything.
This is also a very normal thing. People have already done things to this extent. If you still find fault with their military rank, then you will not be able to justify it no matter what. You can only come back and make plans later.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has arrived at the royal city."
When Li Xiang was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates: we are experts in fighting, but novices in finding faults. Now there is someone who knows how to find faults, so let him go and talk about this matter.
