Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 336 Doubt can be minimized

In fact, Li Jiancheng was very worried about what Li Zhiyun would guess.So after finishing speaking, I am very concerned about Li Zhiyun's attitude.

Even Liu Wenjing was a little worried about what Li Zhiyun could see.

"Xieli is willing to talk about peace. It seems that he is aware of his situation." Li Zhiyun said.

Seeing that Li Zhiyun didn't care who was going to Turkic at all, Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, Li Zhiyun knew it all in his heart.

"but."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Jiancheng became nervous again.

Li Zhiyun continued: "No matter who goes to Turkic as an envoy, our bottom line cannot be changed. Jieli must withdraw from Hedong Road unconditionally, otherwise we will never agree to him."

Wang Gui said cautiously: "His Royal Highness, if you can make the Turks retreat and resolve the crisis in the Hedong Road, it is not impossible to make appropriate concessions. The current priority is to keep the Hedong Road."

Soft bones!
Li Zhiyun resolutely said: "Absolutely not. If it weren't for the lack of strength this time, the king will never let the Turks go. Not being able to avenge my second brother is the shame of my Tang army. How can I give the Turks a chance to make progress? This matter cannot be tolerated again." Discussion!"

His attitude is very firm, the final word.His tough demeanor made Li Jiancheng quite uncomfortable.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng said politely: "Zhiyun, don't act too hastily. If the persecution is too severe, the Turkic people will probably jump over the wall in a hurry. At that time, we will lose more than we gain."

Li Zhiyun shook his head and said in relief, "Brother, don't worry, we have the advantage now. As long as Shi Bobi stays in the grassland, Xieli will not dare to attack us with all his strength. As long as we persist, Xieli will have no choice but to retreat.

The Turks can go, but he puts forward any additional conditions, and this king will never allow anyone to agree.Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless! "

Wang Gui said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, please take care of the overall situation. If Jieli fights to the death, we will suffer heavy casualties. This is not what the court wants to see."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun sneered and said: "Wang Gui, my second brother's blood debt has not been paid, but you let me beg for mercy from Turk?
I tell you, it's impossible! "

After saying that, Li Zhiyun left angrily.

Seeing this, Du Ruhui cupped his hands at Li Jiancheng and said, "Please forgive me, His Royal Highness. The King of Chu is always thinking of using his hand to avenge His Royal Highness Qin. He has lost his composure. I beg His Royal Highness to forgive you King Chu."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "I know."

Following Li Zhiyun's departure, Li Jiancheng, Liu Wenjing and others also returned to their residences.

Wang Gui said angrily: "How can this be? Now seeing that the Turks are able to retreat, there is no harm in making room for a little bit. Is it possible that they are going to fight the Turks to the death because of a little thing?

The king of Chu is too narrow and selfish! "

In his opinion, as long as the Turks can retreat, it’s okay to give them something. It’s better than the Turks directly attacking Hedong Road and threatening those in Guanzhong.

But King Chu's toughness and unreasonableness made him quite angry.

Wei Ting persuaded: "Be safe and don't be impatient. The main reason why King Chu is so tough this time is because of King Qin."

Speaking of this, the faces of Li Jiancheng and others changed slightly.

Liu Wenjing coughed and said, "No matter what, what the King of Chu said makes sense. Jieli is naturally willing to negotiate peace, so this shows that he is worried about the situation in the grassland. In this way, we don't have to be too weak, otherwise we will make Xieli think that we are weak. bully."

"What if Jieli asks to withdraw troops?" Wang Gui asked back.

Liu Wenjing said: "Try to refuse."

"I'm afraid it's not easy to refuse." Wang Gui said.

"Okay." Li Jiancheng interrupted, and immediately said: "That's it, Mr. Liu, you go to see Xieli and see what he has to say. Compensation can be considered, but if you cut the land, it is not negotiable. This is the bottom line for you alone. Understand?"

Li Jiancheng also knew very well that King Qin died in battle, and his support was not enough. It would be difficult for the saint to explain. If the peace talks were made, it would be even more difficult.

"The old minister understands."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Wenjing said, "Your Highness must guard against King Chu's attitude today."

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng thought for a moment, and said: "Now that Jieli has not retreated, I will not consider other things for the time being, and we will talk about them in the future."

"As ordered."

The next day, Liu Wenjing took a dozen people to the Turkic camp for peace talks.

When Li Zhiyun learned that Liu Wenjing was going to Turkic, he recruited Xue Yuanjing and others.

"What do you think Xieli will ask for this time?"

Xue Yuanjing thought for a while, and said: "If Jieli threatens something, I'm afraid Liu Wenjing will give in."

Xue Shou said directly: "Your Highness, as long as we can keep Taiyuan, we will have a chance to regain our homeland in the future. Forgive me for speaking bluntly, it is not appropriate to persecute Xieli too much now. If he puts all his eggs in one basket, we will not get any benefits."

"You mean, everything north of Taiyuan can be handed over to Jieli?" Li Zhiyun's tone was slightly hostile.

Xue Shou was silent, but his attitude was clear.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Du Ruhui stood up, cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, I actually think that if Liu Wenjing's attitude can be a little tougher, Xieli would not dare to threaten anything. Although Liu Wenjing and Xieli have colluded, there is not much evidence.

Besides, if Xieli really sent someone to tell the saint, it would be a headache for the crown prince and King Qi.

The problem now is that both the Crown Prince and the King of Qi want to end this war, and His Highness should not oppose them at this critical moment because of small losses.

In addition, although Shuozhou and other places were under the control of our court before, His Highness is also very clear that Turks will go south to plunder every year.Even if we can control these places, we will inevitably be robbed by the Turks.

Your Highness's ambitions are clear to the subordinates, but Your Highness, now not only you have to hide your strengths and bide your time to wait for the times to change, but the court also has to hide your strengths and bide your time to wait for the times to change.

The Turkic plague has existed for a hundred years. If you want to eradicate it, it will not happen overnight. I hope His Highness can understand. "

Li Zhiyun was silent, he admitted that Du Ruhui was right, but he was very disgusted with the land cession and compensation.

"No, this king will never agree."

Hearing this, the three of them were astonished. This was a rare persistence of the King of Chu.In the past, the king of Chu could listen to their advice.

Li Zhiyun explained: "Keming, as you said, the Turks have been suffering for a hundred years. If the Turks become stronger again, it will take more time to regain what we lost. To tell you the truth, my king I don't want to see people in Shuozhou and other places claiming to be Turkic people one day, this is absolutely unacceptable!
Since Xieli sent someone to negotiate peace, it shows that he is also worried about the situation in the grassland. As long as the consumption continues, he will definitely not last long.

Now that this war has been fought, the king has already lost his second brother, and he must never let the Turkic return home with full rewards! "

Lost brother?

These words sounded particularly harsh in the ears of Du Ruhui and the others.

Xue Shou asked: "What if the crown prince stops you?"

Li Zhiyun said indifferently: "I know what you mean. We can't expose our purpose yet, let alone conflict with the prince. But don't forget, the second brother is dead, and the suspicion on the prince and King Qi can't be cleared at all.

This king guesses that there will be disturbances on the day when our class teacher returns to the imperial court.On this occasion, if this king obeys the crown prince, he may be suspected by the saint. "

Hearing this, the three fell silent.

What King Chu said was correct.

It is a fact that the prince's support is weak, and the sage will inevitably doubt it.If the king of Chu and the crown prince are deeply affectionate at this time, the sage must be suspicious.

Du Ruhui was the first to react, he said with a smile: "Your Highness is wise, King Qin died in battle, His Highness lost his mind, presumably the saint will not doubt it."

Li Zhiyun nodded in satisfaction, in the end it was Du Ruhui who understood him.

In his heart, he didn't want to give anything to the Turkic people. This time, he just took advantage of the death of King Qin to get mad.

After the second brother died, it was normal for him to go crazy as the younger brother.

It's reasonable not to listen to elder brother's words.

In this way, Lao Li's suspicion of him can be minimized.
