Will Ming

Chapter 440 Are you still unwilling to say it?

Changsun Wuji opened his mouth and said 20 armor and equipment, and 100 million stones, food and grass are not just talking about it, not to mention these things, if they are doubled or tripled, Tang Gong Li Yuan's mansion can also get them.It stands to reason that Li Yuan is cautious and cautious. Although his family is well-off, he has always been suspected by Yang Guang when he was an official these years. Where is Yang Guang.

Before the third conquest of Liaodong, Li Yuan's official career was extremely unsatisfactory.From being a high-ranking official of the third rank at the beginning, he was demoted again and again by Yang Guang, and he only led a small official of the fifth rank to protect the grain with the title of Duke.Fortunately, he was cautious enough and devoted enough to his duties when he was in Huaiyuan Town, Western Liaoning, so Yang Guang's suspicion of him gradually disappeared, and there were fewer and fewer veterans in the court, so Yang Guang re-trusted this cousin and appointed him. He was the Xuanfu ambassador of Hexi Road, and later he was appointed as the left-behind in Taiyuan. Only then did Li Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.

But even so, Li Yuan still didn't dare to be too presumptuous after arriving in Taiyuan. Even if he was presumptuous, how could he accumulate so much wealth in just one or two years?

There is no other reason, because he has a supporter in Taiyuan.

Pei Ji.

Li Yuan is staying behind in Taiyuan, and he has a lot of power in his hands, but he is absolutely incapable of amassing so much wealth.But Pei Ji can, Pei Ji is one of Yang Guang's most trusted courtiers, so Yang Guang let him sit in Jinyang Palace.The supplies in Jinyang Palace are enough to equip 50 troops, that is to say, Li Yuan's wealth is also thanks to Yang Guang.

Pei Ji repeatedly persuaded Li Yuan to raise troops, and he was willing to take out all the supplies Yang Guang had hoarded in Jinyang Palace and give them to Li Yuan.This is also one of the reasons why such a cautious person as Li Yuan finally made up his mind to fight against the Sui Dynasty. With the supplies in Jinyang Palace, he was able to arm hundreds of thousands of people to the teeth in an instant, and the equipment was as sophisticated as the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty.

With such great support, what is there to fear for Li Yuan?

What's more, no one in the north can threaten him.Luo Yi and Dou Jiande were the only ones who could challenge him in the northern part of the Great Sui Dynasty, but their soldiers and horses could not threaten Hexi at all. The endless mountains were Li Yuan's strongest barrier!

Therefore, when Li Yuan sent troops, the Turkic people were the most scruples.If he settles the Turkic people, Taiyuan has no worries, he can safely and boldly lead the army to go south to take Chang'an.

With his current strength, it is obviously impossible to deter the Turks with military power.So he can only win over and buy well, turning the Turkic people from enemies into friends.

Li Yuan did not give Changsun Wuji any rights, but only told him to form an alliance with Li Xian.An old fox like Li Yuan had long thought that Li Xian would never join him.Although Tang Gong Li Yuan's name can be regarded as a gold-lettered signboard, Li Xian's strength lies there.The name of the Li family alone could not seduce Li Xian, so Changsun Wuji added four words before leaving.

Play cheap.

These four words are actually the greatest right.

Changsun Wuji listened to his younger sister Changsun Wugou's persuasion, and no longer insisted that Li Xian belong to Duke Tang.Although he wanted to make this unworldly achievement, in fact, he didn't know how to do it.

Simply, according to Changsun Wugou, he would agree to whatever Li Xian wanted.As long as he can provide such strong support for Tang Gong, and there is still a secret relationship, Tang Gong Li Yuan will definitely not blame him.In fact, Changsun Wuji knew very well that as long as Li Xian could stand on the side of Duke Tang's mansion, Duke Tang would never be stingy with food and supplies.Of course, the premise is that what Changsun Wuji promised is not too much for Li Yuan to bear.

"Send it later"

Li Xian's indifferent words almost drove Changsun Wuji crazy.

From Taiyuan to Juyeze in Dongping County, not to mention thousands of miles away, but with so many rebels along the way, how could it be possible to transport the food supplies here?

"If Duke Tang can successfully take down Chang'an, the general can go to Chang'an to get all the supplies."

Changsun Wuji paused and said.

"I'm here on behalf of Tang Gong. Tang Gong has always been loyal and will not deceive the general, but the general also knows that thousands of miles away and they have to cross the Yellow River. There are not thirty or twenty rebels along the way. There are so many supplies and food. Does the general want to give those grassroots cheap?"

Li Xian smiled and said: "Even if Duke Tang took Chang'an, there is still Wang Shichong and Li Mi between Dongping County and Dongping County. Your prevarication is too irresponsible. Could it be that you mean that if I If you want to get some food and supplies, you should kill Li Mi and Wang Shichong first, and then go back after you clear the way?"

He said with a smile: "If Wagangzhai and Luoyang, the eastern capital, are taken down, can I still value the 100 million shi of grain and grass?"

Changsun Wuji was startled, and found that he was in a deadlock again.

Li Xian would never agree to him if he didn't get benefits, but there is no way to send the benefits now.

"Can the general give me an indication?"

Changsun Wuji asked after taking a breath.

Li Xian smiled and said: "If it's not like this, you stay. When will the benefits promised by Mr. Tang arrive, and you will go back? Don't worry, sir, I will not be stingy with good wine and food. If you are too busy, You can also help me do some things to get by, but there is definitely no salary. This giant wild lake has beautiful mountains and clear waters, so you won’t feel wronged if you stay here.”

"Can I ask you a question?"

Before Li Xian could answer, Changsun Wuji looked into Li Xian's eyes and asked very seriously: "The general thinks that Changsun Wuji's head is worth 100 million stones of grain and grass? Even if I are detained, the general thinks Tang Guild will With 100 million stone grain and grass, 20 armor and equipment in exchange?"

Li Xian said innocently: "Isn't that what you said? Didn't you ever think about whether you are worth these things when you said it?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned, and cursed two words in his heart.

Shameless!

……

……

"Is it useful to detain the eldest grandson Wuji?"

Daxi Changru looked at the strong wine in his hand but didn't seem to have the desire to drink it down. He suddenly sighed and turned to Li Xian, "He's just a lobbyist sent by Li Yuanli. The status in the mansion is not very high either. As far as I know, Li Yuan would never waste a million stones of food and grass for him, unless Li Yuan gets mad."

"useless"

Li Xian placed a lot of small wooden sticks on the ground, and then took out his black knife to chop and play.This was what Li Xian had to do every day when he was on that unnamed mountain in Saibei. The seemingly simple training was so difficult that it made people hit the wall and commit suicide.Today, he seems to use his sword at will, but after cutting off dozens of small wooden sticks, there is not a single knife mark on the ground.The wooden sticks were completely broken, and there was almost no difference in length. It can be seen that the strength and stability of Li Xian's wrists had reached a shocking level.

"At most, it just makes Li Yuan feel a little disgusted."

Li Xian collected all the small wooden sticks, counted them boredly, and found that it was an odd number.

He searched around, and inadvertently raised his head and saw a small wooden stick sticking to Zhang Zhongjian's beard.And the bearded man was staring at him with piercing eyes.

"Don't you think it's a bit boring to detain Changsun Wuji just to disgust Li Yuan? It's worth not doing something meaningless."

Zhang Zhongjian took off the small wooden stick from his beard, threw it on the ground, and said angrily, "I don't see any benefit in making enemies like this innocently. Li Yuan is about to send troops to the south. With the appeal of the Li family, it is by no means someone on the Green Forest Road." Those people can be compared. I bet that he can gather at least 15 horses before he reaches Chang'an after leaving Taiyuan! As long as Li Yuan shows a little bit of strength, those big families who are still waiting to see will immediately post them. With those aristocratic families With the support of the big family, if Li Yuan wins Chang'an again, who can stop the rise of the Li family?"

"I can't believe you can't see this!"

Zhang Zhongjian spoke in a heavy tone.

"I can see it"

Li Xian said indifferently: "Once the Li family raises an issue, the loyal officials of the Sui Dynasty will probably rush over like flies that smell the smell. If they think that Li Yuan can achieve great things, how can they give up the merits of being a dragon? There must be an army of 15, as well as the support of wealth and connections accumulated by various families over countless years."

"Compared to Li Yuan, Li Mi is even worse."

Daxi Changru sighed: "Since you know, why do you still do something that is meaningless and even has hidden dangers for Yanyun Village? From the present point of view, no matter what, it is better to form an alliance with Li Yuan than to fight against him. Of course, The alliance is only temporary, in the future Li Yuan will go south to distract the attention of the rebels, and Yanyun Village will be able to take advantage of the situation!"

Zhang Zhongjian said: "When Li Yuan goes south, he must take advantage of the emptiness of Chang'an to kill him directly. Yang You, the acting king who sits in Chang'an, is just a child who doesn't understand military affairs. How could he be Li's opponent? The rebels are all targeting Li Yuan, and the pressure on our Yanyun village will be greatly reduced, and then we will take advantage of the situation to expand our territory and increase our troops, and when Li Yuan and other rebels are fighting fiercely, wouldn't it be better to kill him by surprise?"

Daxi Changru said: "If you have any better plans, you might as well tell us. The two of us are not as flexible as you, but at least we have experienced a lot, so we can give you some ideas."

Li Xian stuck the black knife on the ground, looked at the two people in front of him who were so kind to him, and bowed solemnly.

"Master, grandpa."

Li Xian straightened up, then took a deep breath, and said in a serious tone: "After so many years, I rarely ask you, whose child am I. When I first met Master, Master said that my parents are just Common people, it is possible to take refuge and go to the Saibei grassland. Grandpa said that when the old nun handed me over to you, he didn't mention who my parents were. I never doubted what you said, but it was a coincidence a while ago Now I know something that proves that you all lied."

Li Xian said calmly: "I don't know if you are
