Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 477
After sending off King Bodu, Zhu Jian returned to the camp again.

But Li Shi, Luo Qi, and Yuan Bin frowned.

Sitting down in front of the table again, Zhu Jian asked: "Several, just now what King Bodu said, what do you think?"

Among the three people on this mission, Zhu Jianwei is respected, Li Shi is good at debating, and Luo Qi is good at planning.

Therefore, although Zhu Jian was the one who asked all the questions, his eyes fell on Luo Qi, who frowned and spoke after a while.

"Nine truths and one falsehood!"

Hearing this, Yuan Bin on the side asked, "Where is it true? Where is it false?"

Luo Qi raised her head, thought for a moment and said.

"In what King Caibodu said just now, it is true that Oara suffered heavy losses, and it is true that he sent it back to the emperor sincerely, and it is true that he needs to share the tribute envoys with various parts. Only one point is false."

"That is, King Bodu said that the peace talks had to be interrupted because of the pressure from the ministries. I am afraid this is not true."

Luo Qi spoke these words very slowly, obviously, he was also constantly thinking.

There was a moment of silence in the tent, and Yuan Bin asked.

"I don't know why Master Luo said that? I have served the Supreme Emperor in Yibei for a long time, and I know a little about Oara. Oara is different from me in Ming Dynasty. All the tribes have leaders. If the tribes jointly oppose it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a decision. .”

Although these words were suspected of defending the other party, they were indeed questions from other people present, so Zhu Jian and Li Shi looked at Luo Qi in unison, waiting for his analysis.

"What General Yuan said is indeed reasonable, but from what Luo observed in the two days since I entered the camp, it is not the case."

Luo Qi pondered for a moment and asked.

"I don't know if you guys still remember, what was the scene when we first met each other on the grassland?"

The three of them thought about it in unison, and finally, Yuan Bin said.

"At that time, King Bodu led me to wait outside the camp, and he went out to greet me first. The scene was quite big, and Ye Xian was also very enthusiastic. Lord Luo, what's wrong?"

Luo Qi shook her head and said: "There's nothing wrong, but I noticed a detail at the time. When we first met King Bodu on the grassland, he was very arrogant. After meeting you, General Yuan, his attitude changed a bit. .”

"However, at that time, we were the first to go out to meet us. Before we could react, King Bodu and all the cavalry he brought immediately dismounted and knelt down to greet them. He greeted us and told King Bodu and others to stand up, what does that mean?"

Hearing what Luo Qi said, Yuan Bin also sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out exactly where it was.

At this time, Zhu Jian also remembered the scene at that time, and a look of understanding suddenly appeared on his face, and said.

"That's right. Thinking about it carefully, his reaction at that time was more like a subconscious fear, but Ye Xian was obviously used to this, so he first greeted me and waited, and then called Bodu King."

"It's not that he also values ​​us first, but more like his habit."

Luo Qi nodded, and said: "That's right, but the problem is that King Bodu is Yexian's younger brother, so he shouldn't be so formal."

"What's more, at the beginning of today's peace talks, the chiefs of the tribes that King Bodu mentioned, before they also came first, looked relaxed and chatted happily."

"But I brought people to appear first, and there were still dozens of steps away, so they didn't dare to be late for a moment, stood up and stood, holding their breath."

"This behavior doesn't look like it at all. If you can coerce him, force him to put conditions on me..."

At this time, Li Shi also reacted, slapped the table, turned to Yuan Bin, and asked.

"General Yuan, I still remember that last night, when you came back from visiting the Supreme Emperor, you said that you were chatting with two soldiers. You mentioned that the morale of the army has been low recently and there are many deserters. Has a bad temper and often kills servants for no reason?"

Yuan Bin nodded. Although these soldiers were secretive and dared not speak out, based on their performance and every single word, they could actually deduce a lot.

Therefore, Li Shi and Luo Qi looked at each other and said, "From this point of view, they are defrauding us first."

Yuan Bin frowned, still did not understand the connection, and asked, "My lord, why is this so?"

This time it was Luo Qi who spoke.

It should be said that this time the court also made up its mind to try its best to welcome the Supreme Emperor back, and the envoys and deputy envoys selected were all experienced in the military.

In contrast, although Yuan Bin was a warrior, he was just a captain of Jinyiwei, but by chance, he became the attendant of the Supreme Emperor.

There are some things he still can't see through.

Luo Qi said: "General Yuan doesn't know something. The first thing a general in the army pays attention to is military prestige. The first thing that many generals do when they lead troops is to find a small mistake, beat them with a majestic stick, and kill chickens to warn monkeys. Only in this way can they establish prestige."

"So generally speaking, when the generals and the army are just beginning to get along, the military is often the time when the rules are the most strict and the atmosphere is the most depressing."

"The reason for this is that the generals have not established their own prestige, so they have to rely on superficial rules to act."

Having said that, Li Shi continued.

"However, this is Yexian's headquarters camp, all of which are his trusted and close officials. Although the soldiers in it may come from many tribes, they all fought big battles after Yexian. Logically speaking, this kind of army , the atmosphere should be more relaxed.”

"Because by this time, the general's personal prestige is enough to intimidate everyone, so there is no need to be demanding on many details."

"However, what I saw when I entered the camp, from the king of Bodu to a group of nobles to ordinary soldiers, all were trembling, as if they were very afraid of making mistakes."

"What's more, during today's peace talks, when Lord Luo mentioned Marquis Dingxiang, there was no response yet, and a group of Vala nobles all jumped up immediately."

"I've heard it for a long time, and I'm very suspicious. After the battle of Shawo, I was defeated because of a broken arm. I think I don't trust the people around me even more."

"Combining with what Mr. Luo said just now, it can be basically concluded that after the battle of Shawo, the jurisdiction of the tribes will be stricter and more arbitrary. Therefore, those nobles and the king of Bodu will be so cautious."

While talking, Li Shi picked up the cup on the case, took a sip, and found that it was a stream of milk tea that he was not used to, instead of the clear tea he was used to. He couldn't help frowning, put the cup down, and continued.

"So, in this situation, even if the ministries are dissatisfied, they will never dare to discuss any conditions with Yexian. At this time, Yexian is like those generals who have just led the army, always ready to arrest people and come out." Liwei."

Yuan Bin suddenly realized, and said: "So, from the beginning to the end, it means Yexian?"

Li Shi and Luo Qi nodded, and immediately, Li Shi spoke to Zhu Jian.

"My lord, once you figure this out, everything will be easy. I think, when I meet the emperor tomorrow, I can..."

Li Shi lowered his voice for the following words, Zhu Jian seemed to hesitate and asked after listening.

"Master Li, is this a bit risky? If it doesn't work, then all previous efforts will be for naught."

Li Shi squeezed his fist and said after a while.

"My lord, I still believe that if our previous judgment is not like this, I am afraid that we will have to delay it. The longer it is delayed, the more likely it will be changed."

Zhu Jian thought for a while, then turned to Luo Qi and asked, "What does Master Luo mean?"

After thinking for a while, Luo Qi also nodded.

So, Zhu Jian let out a sigh of relief, and said, "In that case, tomorrow we will do as Master Li said, but..."

While speaking, Zhu Jian turned to look at Yuan Bin and said.

"General Yuan, this matter is a bit risky and cannot be leaked out in advance, so..."

Although Yuan Bin felt that their ideas were a bit risky, he also knew that he was powerless to change their decisions.

So, he could only nod his head and said, "My lords, don't worry, Yuan will definitely cooperate."

Only then did Zhu Jian heave a sigh of relief, and the few of them looked at each other. Under the light of the flickering candlelight, their expressions were incomparably firm...
