The opening and Xu Xiao's front

Chapter 98
"General Xiyan, you should know that I don't have the courage to attack and kill another country's prince in the street. All this is the order of the lord, and I can't help myself." Baili Yinba restrained himself a little in the dark He said to Xi Yan with his arrogance.

Xi Yan thought about it for a while, and he could roughly guess the reason. It was nothing more than the king who lost face and wanted to get it back. He wanted to prove the combat effectiveness of his troops and frighten Zhang Yicai.

After all, the prerequisite for forming an alliance is that the strengths of the two parties must be equal, otherwise it would be an annexation. Baili Jinghong, a scheming old fox, must have known what happened on the city wall just now, so he specially dropped the elite to kill this Beilu Prince, prevent him from rising up with contempt,
There is a sense of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. Hundreds of people dare to attack his city wall. If he doesn't kill his prestige, then when his follow-up troops arrive, won't they want to destroy his country?
"The lord asked you to kill him. The prestige of killing him is not the prestige of asking you to kill yourself. According to the rules in the army, soldiers should be punished without reason. It's better for you to kill him directly. Let me ask Captain Baili. What's wrong?!" Xi Yan gritted his teeth and asked Baili Yinba,

Baili Yinba still acted like that, listening to Xiyan Yang Junzhong's rules and talking to him, he couldn't help but pick out his ears and reply,
"General Xi Yan, what rules? They are just a bunch of cannon fodder in my eyes, will anyone care about him?
Even if I'm just a pariah, if I make trouble with the lord, I'll pay a few dollars at most and finish the matter. I don't understand, General Xi Yan, why you pester me endlessly over these trivial matters?Shouldn't we be discussing how to kill the prestige of that Northern Capital prince..."

"Snapped"

Xi Yan slapped him directly. Baili Yinba had been pampered since he was a child and grew up. After being slapped, his face was full of disbelief. He opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something more. Xi Yan was on the street I kicked it and flew it to a roadside stall,
The surrounding soldiers were also shocked by this change,

"If it wasn't for her, I would kill you right now!"

Xi Yan felt that he had lived for so many years, and it was the first time he felt so angry. How could a commander who didn't care about the soldiers' lives win the love of the soldiers?Because of Su Shunqing, he was lucky enough to want to give him a hand, but he didn't expect Baili Yinba to be so arrogant,
Xi Yan gave Baili Yinba such a definition in his heart, so he no longer just fell to the ground Baili Yinba,

"The lord ordered that all those who let Prince Qingyang enter the palace and stop him will be punished as treason!"

Xi Yan shouted loudly to the surroundings, and dispersed the soldiers blocking the way in the street. The purpose of intimidation has been achieved. Didn't you see that Zhang Yicai's soldiers have raised their shields, ready to fight another tough battle?
The reason why deterrence is called deterrence is because no one will be killed. If there is a death, it is not called deterrence, but it is called shopping. Originally, Baili Yinba restrained himself a little, even if it was a pretext to show off in the name of catching thieves It's enough to have a look at the military power,

But this idiot just wanted to give himself a sense of presence, surrounded Zhang Yicai, and killed a soldier of his own, making the soldiers on his side panic. Xi Yan looked at the army marching in full swing,
As a general who has fought wars all the time, he knew that if he did this again, Zhang Yicai would probably make a serious move, and it would be really difficult to end at that time.

Baili Jinghong would not protect him no matter what. After all, Zhang Yi was the guest, and he killed people in front of the guest. Although the guest was not very friendly, he was still a guest.

Zhang Yicai's army looked at the road that was gradually giving way, but they still didn't put down their weapons, especially Zhang Yicai's guard captain, Tuo Huan, was still firmly guarding Zhang Yicai's identity.
Seeing this situation, Xi Yan sighed deeply, the seeds of distrust had already been planted, and it would not be so easy to dig them out, but he was willing to do it no matter how difficult the idea was.

"Your Highness, don't worry, go forward this time. I will go with you this time. If someone plots against me, I will die first." Xi Yan said as he walked up to Zhang Yicai, who was heavily guarded. weapon,

Zhang Yicai patted Tuo Huan's head, let him go up and play, Tuo Huan's life and death would not leave, Zhang Yicai had no way to let the Wolf King take this idiot away,
He looked at the situation on his side like a gunpowder pot that exploded at the touch of a button. Xiatang's several malicious attacks had already made his soldiers distrust people in this country from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhang Yicai understood that he would stay here for a long time, and he couldn't make the relationship so rigid. He was a guest, so how could a guest bully the host?
"Put down the weapon, what are you doing, want to rebel?! It's normal for us to be wronged as guests. You can't demolish the house of other people's master just because you suffered a little bit of wronged."

Zhang Yicai's words are very useful. Basically, as soon as his words came out, all the soldiers under him changed back to the formation state and were no longer in that kind of fighting state. Although the eyes were still vigilant, they were really the kind of eyes full of enemies. up,
This is why the gap between hundreds of troops is so heavy, and after more than ten days for Asule's troops to arrive, then there will be no rush?You know, life in the military camp is boring, and the only joy is these gossip and conflict news as entertainment,

Moreover, the army pays attention to brotherhood, most of them are brothers, or they are from the same village, or they are the robes who trained together. Zhang Yicai can't imagine that the tens of thousands of troops under A Sule will be hostile to Xiatang at the same time. Press down, press down, will these videos breed greater hatred?

Can't Zhang Yicai wake up in the morning and go out to find that his troops have already started a bloody fight with Xia Tang?
Thinking that Zhang Yicai took off his heavy armor and walked ahead in order to set an example to further break down the barrier between his troops and Xiatang troops,

This time there was really nothing tricky, except that there was no one on the street the two of them passed by,
After confirming that Zhang Yicai and them were not in any danger, Zhang Yicai's troops began to look around in a normal state of mind.
Delicious candied haws, fun and novel tricks, actors in brothels, scripts in teahouses, the bustling Xiatang has begun to show its charm in a short while,
At the beginning, Zhang Yicai's troops slowly let go of their hostility and began to strike up conversations with Xiyan's troops who were also nearby, but they were limited to conversations, without any further actions.

Zhang Yicai was also happy with this, it just prohibited harassment of the common people and didn't say no to talking, as long as it didn't cause noise in the army Zhang Yicai would turn a blind eye to it now.

After a while, Zhang Yicai and Xi Yan arrived at the palace of Xia Tang,

Xiatang is indeed the most prosperous among the vassal states. The imperial palace is extraordinary. The soldiers patrolling on the city wall look like good soldiers in the army. All of them have square faces, big ears, and flushed faces. They look like veterans in the army. ,

It was not a bit stronger than the defenders that Zhang Yicai saw on the outer city wall just now.

And the defenders on the city wall shouted loudly after seeing Xi Yan from a distance:

"Ahead is General Xi Yan?"

Now, Xi Yan, who was only wearing a coat, tidied up his clothes and replied,

"Exactly, please open the city gate quickly."
