Chapter 961 Reconciliation
"Take it back after losing it!" The one who couldn't stand Bai Bai'er the most was Liu Xin, who blew his beard and stared at him and said, "If you want to make sarcastic remarks again, I will not be polite!"

"Hmph! Vulgar!" Bai Baier tilted his head, but shut up obediently.

"Private Liu's words are a little rough, but the truth is right." Prime Minister Wang Xian shook his feather fan lightly at this moment, and said with a slight smile: "The King of Han has only 10,000 soldiers, and their quality is far worse than before. Our army in the Song Dynasty Collectively, there will be more than [-]+, and with the support of the people, why be afraid of the King of Han?"

"Indeed, Zhu Gaoxu should be afraid of us!" Liu Xin said loudly.

"Hmm!" Although Tang Tiande was still very afraid of Zhu Gaoxu, but the battle was imminent, he couldn't uplift others' prestige and lower his own ambition.Then he took out a posture of swallowing mountains and rivers and said: "Soldiers come and cover the water and earth! Since Zhu Gaoxu wants to fight, let's have a good fight!" He looked at the generals and said, "Everyone, gather all the soldiers and horses, and wait for tomorrow. The King of Japan personally led you and others to take back Linzi City and take Le'an Prefecture directly!"

"Follow the order!" Liu Xin, Hao Yunzhong, Ding Gugang, Dong Yangao and others suddenly accepted the order, and hurriedly split up and went down to form the army.

After everyone left, Tang Tiande looked at Wang Xian and said, "Prime Minister, how to fight this battle is up to you!"

"Don't worry, His Majesty, everything has been planned long ago, and the students have already figured out the plan." Wang Xian nodded with a smile.

"Haha! There is a gentleman here," Tang Tiande laughed loudly, "What is there to worry about, old man?!"

.

Coming out from Elder Tang, Wang Xian returned to the "Prime Minister's Mansion" that Elder Tang bestowed on him. The so-called Prime Minister's Mansion was actually the former Qingzhou Tongzhi Yamen, on the side of the former Zhifu Yamen.

"Sir," as soon as he saw Wang Xian, Deng Xiaoxian greeted him, and reported softly: "There is an urgent letter from the capital. The emperor has indeed appointed the King of Han to replace the Marquis of Anyuan." The time of the news is only one day later than Hanwang, which is already very remarkable!
"So that's how it is." Wang Xian was not surprised by this. At the beginning, he urged Tang Tiande to build a state and become the king, just to anger Zhu Di and let the emperor force Liu Sheng to use troops against Qingzhou.However, Wang Xian knew very well that Liu Sheng did not dare to enter Qingzhou easily because of the three-legged rivalry in Shandong and the King of Han's ulterior motives.So Wang Xian asked Wei Yuan to send a message to Liu Sheng, asking him to postpone sending troops for one month, and promised that the situation would change drastically by then!

Liu Sheng thought that Wang Xian had some plan to make the White Lotus Sect go into chaos without a fight, but in fact Wang Xian was just using him to achieve the goal of getting the King of Han to come to the fore!Wang Xian knew Zhu Di very well, and he was also very clear about the virtues of King Zhao. He knew that once Liu Sheng refused to obey the order, Zhu Di would put the risk behind him and use Hanwang desperately!
Now this news just confirmed that Wang Xian's calculation was successful.

"At the beginning, we advocated to fight Linzi so that the King of Han could take Linzi back again. Now Tang Tiande should make up his mind to go to war with the King of Han, right?!" Deng Xiaoxian asked happily.

"I'm afraid not yet." Wang Xian shook his head slowly and said, "Tang Tiande and his group are very afraid of the King of Han in their bones. It would be fine if the King of Han keeps fighting, but I'm afraid..." After a pause, he said, "Zhu Gaoxu will suddenly stop fighting, Tang Tiande will definitely hesitate!"

"If His Royal Highness can withstand the pressure, Zhu Gaoxu will definitely withdraw his troops." Deng Xiaoxian said softly.

"Well." Wang Xian said lightly: "Don't worry, even if the grandson shrinks his head, His Royal Highness will definitely keep Liu Sheng!"

"Sir, I'm a little confused." Deng Xiaoxian looked at Wang Xian with doubts and said, "You let Liu Sheng provoke the emperor, and let the prince or grandson keep him. Why?"

"Hehe, there are three purposes for doing this." Wang Xian slowly sat cross-legged on the kang, stretched out three fingers and said: "First, I must let the King of Han take the initiative to attack Tang Tiande! Before, I thought that Linzi would be defeated, and he would be severely injured." Reinforcements can make the King of Han furious and retaliate against all odds. Who knows that after three days of farewell, the King of Han actually held back. Is it tolerable or unbearable, so I understand that no matter what you do in Shandong, Nothing will change Hanwang's determination to be a coward!"

"Why did the king of Han change so much? Naturally, it was because he had so little intention." Wang Xian continued, "Obviously, he hopes too much to make a comeback and get the chance to take charge of the military and political power in Shandong. For this reason, he is willing to endure everything he can't bear. If we want to deal with him, we can only start with his desire."

"So, we have to help him so that he can replace Liu Sheng." Deng Xiaoxian suddenly said: "Once the King of Han knows that he will replace Liu Sheng, he will definitely send troops before the news spreads, and while Tang Tiande is still in the dark Here, capture strategically important locations and strive for the initiative on the battlefield!"

"Yes, that's why I attacked Linzi in the first place. If Linzi is still in the hands of the King of Han, then he doesn't have to be so impatient, he can wait until the order arrives before attacking." Wang Xian nodded, and said: "But I can't I really let him succeed, that fierce tiger is released from the cage to kill people!" He said with a faint smile: "So I have to find a way to make the emperor take back his life and let him be happy for nothing."

"The only ones in this world who can make the emperor take back the imperial decree are the crown prince and grandson!" Deng Xiaoxian was originally a very smart person, but now he knew everything, clapped his hands and said: "So you wrote a letter to the grandson at the same time, Please fight for a month!"

"But even if it is the emperor's favorite grandson, it is impossible for the emperor to take back his life, unless..." Wang Xian said after a pause: "Unless he goes all out and uses his reserve position to protect Liu Sheng..." Said At this point, Wang Xian's eyes darkened and he said: "But I guess it will be very difficult for His Highness the Grandson to do this."

"If Mr. can disclose our plan to grandson, even if only a part of it is revealed, grandson should give it a go." Deng Xiaoxian said softly.

"No..." Wang Xian shook his head and said: "One, our purpose is revenge, and helping the court to solve the White Lotus Sect is just incidental. Telling the grandson of the plan may cause trouble instead. Two," said here, Wang Xian lowered his voice and said: "I deliberately didn't tell the grandson, because I don't know what I'm going to do, and I can't convince the emperor, so I can only use my own reserve to gamble!"

"But you said just now that your grandson might not bet on this..." Deng Xiaoxian frowned and said, "If that's the case, aren't we going to be self-defeating?"

"The reason Taisun may not be able to gamble is that someone can gamble for him." Wang Xian felt a little heartbroken. Today's Taisun is no longer the 'little black boy' who was commensurate with his brother back then.But after thinking about it, what is the current self?Fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps, why feel sorry for others.

"You mean the prince?" Deng Xiaoxian asked softly.

"That's right." Wang Xian nodded, this time his guilt is real, because His Royal Highness has never changed, he has always trusted him wholeheartedly and supported him with all his strength.It's really not right to use the prince, but as long as he can get revenge, Wang Xian is willing to sell his soul to the devil.His eyes flickered coldly, and he said in a very gloomy voice: "If you use the position of grandson to gamble, King Zhao may not be interested, and he will try to persuade the emperor not to change his will."

"But if you gamble with the position of crown prince, King Zhao will definitely take the bait, and will never stop the emperor from changing his course!" Deng Xiaoxian nodded heavily and said, "It's not profitable to get up early, King Zhao has tossed so much, isn't it just for the position of heir?! He must not be able to stand this temptation!"

"This is the foreshadowing of our separation between the King of Han and the King of Zhao in the future." Wang Xian took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and said, "I've exhausted all my tricks, and whether I can succeed or not depends on the number of days!"

Deng Xiaoxian looked at Wang Xian reverently. After going through summer's purgatory, this man who was reborn from the ashes became even stronger!There seems to be an invisible thread in Wang Xian's hand, which can easily influence anyone to act according to his will!Although it is far away in the corner of Qingzhou, it can count the hearts of the people in the world. Whether it is the emperor in the Jinluan Hall, the son and grandson of the dragon in the imperial city, or the prince of Le'an Prefecture, or the general of Jinan City, everyone thinks about it. In his grasp!
"Tomorrow, there should be a result, right?" Deng Xiaoxian asked softly, seeing that Wang Xian closed his eyes and said nothing, he stopped talking, bowed and quietly retreated.

.

The next day, the news from the capital had not yet come, but Wang Xian already knew that his plan had succeeded.Because the troops of the King of Han who attacked Guangrao and Shouguang suddenly withdrew, if the King of Han decided to attack Qingzhou, he would definitely not take these two places.Giving up halfway like this only shows one problem, that is, the situation has changed, and King Han will continue to be his coward for a while!
It's just the cancellation of the capital's decree, and it's not enough to make King Han retreat. He must have received some guarantee from King Zhao that the situation will change a lot in a month's time!

"If I'm not wrong, the King of Han will soon send someone to negotiate peace." At that time, Wang Xian was dealing with military affairs in the Yamen, and after hearing the news, he was still writing quickly, without looking up.

"Peace talks? You just robbed our Linzi, and you want peace talks? Why!" Liu Xin, who was a little bored at the side, suddenly jumped up.

"Using war to promote peace is the best strategy." Wang Xian put down a copy of the memorial, and glanced at Liu Dao: "If the King of France agrees to reconcile, we may be in trouble. The general must be prepared."

"What do you mean?" Liu Xin didn't believe it at all: "There have been two battles! I don't believe that the King of France can reconcile with the people of the King of Han!"

"If..." Wang Xian looked at Liu Xin and said with a slight smile, "The King of Han agrees to return Linzi and formally signs the covenant. Do you think the king will be moved?"

"Then..." Liu Xin lost his confidence now. After thinking about it carefully, he sighed helplessly and said, "Maybe..."

Wang Xian nodded and did not speak again.

Liu Xin wanted to ask another question, but suddenly heard a report from his subordinates outside, saying that Zhu Zhantan, the heir of the King of Han, had arrived outside Qingzhou city!
