Chapter 3808 Sharp turn down
Changsun Wuji turned his head, looked coldly at Dugu Lan who had been dragging his feet since the incident, and said gloomily, "This is the end of the matter, is there another way to go?"
Dugu Lan's heart trembled when he was stared at by Changsun Wuji's poisonous snake eyes, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and dared not say more.In fact, many families in the Guanlongmen Clan do not approve of Changsun Wuji's risky rebellion, but because of Changsun Wuji's majesty, they dare not speak out when they are dissatisfied, precisely because the Dugu family has expressed it repeatedly Unwilling to cooperate with the will of the uprising, those small family members dared to jump up and down from time to time, which caused disagreements within Guanlong, because Changsun Wuji hated the Dugu family to the bone.
Normally, the Dugu family is naturally not afraid of the eldest grandson Wuji, but the current situation is unfavorable, and there is a disaster of overthrow at every turn. With the viciousness of the eldest grandson Wuji, if he decides to drag the Dugu family back before he dies, it will be troublesome... …
Yu Wenshi and he didn't want Dugu Lan to be too embarrassing, which would lead to more and more resentment in his heart, so he opened his mouth to help him and said: "But the peace talks should still be the main thing at the moment, otherwise wouldn't it be just a free wedding dress for Li Ji?" What's more, there may not be much chance of winning in a desperate fight. The East Palace has a six-rate ratio, and the Youtunwei is too aggressive... Even if you win, you still have to face Li Ji's hundreds of thousands of troops, and the gains outweigh the losses."
Regarding Yuwen Shiji, Changsun Wuji naturally couldn't be as strong as he was with Dugu Lan, and patiently explained: "It's not because I don't want peace talks, but because Donggong has always resisted peace talks, especially the prince and Fang Jun! Yu, Liu Ji and others presided over the peace talks with a very good attitude, but Fang Jun sent troops without authorization from time to time, and the prince even acquiesced. Who knows if this is a strategy they discussed? Once caught in the rhythm of the other party, we will miss the opportunity. No matter how the situation collapses step by step, if peace talks fail in the end, we won't even have a chance to fight to the death!"
Several people were speechless for a while, and had to admit that this was indeed true.
Yuwen Shiji said depressedly: "Fang Er's stick is nothing more than that. He always eats soft but not hard. When he becomes crazy and domineering, it is impossible to predict with common sense. However, when will the prince be so bold and tough? If it was like this before, your majesty? How can you be dissatisfied with him repeatedly to generate a heart of easy storage?"
His Majesty Li Er's dissatisfaction with the prince lies in his lack of courage, lack of decisiveness, easy to be swayed by others, and possible connivance of powerful officials, resulting in the decline of imperial power.
Changsun Wuji said: "What's the use of thinking about it now? It's best if you continue the peace talks over there. If Fang Jun and the crown prince continue to conflict and even destroy them, we'll be fully prepared on our side. The big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken, so give it a desperate fight!"
It is naturally best to negotiate peace with the Eastern Palace directly. If not, it is the same to negotiate with Li Ji after winning the Eastern Palace.
It's just that the hard bone of Youtunwei is really hard to crack, which makes everyone feel uncertain...
*****
Inside the heavy door.
The dense rainwater falls from the sky and gathers into a stream in this square inch of land blocked by high walls. It flows to the corner of the wall and the low-lying place under the eaves, and flows into the Yong'an and Qingming canals along the buried underground channels.
In the residence of the prince, the concubine was preparing dinner for the prince, Liu Ji came in a hurry, seeing that the concubine was there, he hurriedly saluted.
The concubine smiled gently, and after returning the gift, she told the prince to enjoy dinner on time, and then went back to the back hall with lotus steps, leaving the monarch and his ministers with a graceful and graceful back...
Liu Jie said: "It's my fault for disturbing His Highness's meal."
Sitting behind the table, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "It's okay, Liu Shizhong is so busy, but what's the matter?"
Although he is weak and gentle, he has received a good etiquette education since he was a child, and he is extremely polite in his bones. He will only relax a little in front of those who are close to him, otherwise his etiquette is strict and meticulous.If it were His Majesty Li Er, even if the sky fell at this moment, he would enjoy the meal carelessly while letting Liu Jie report, and he would even invite Liu Jie to have a drink or two...
Liu Ji didn't care to be modest, and asked the prince to talk about business after eating, and said in a loud voice: "Just now I heard that the private army of the Duan family in Nanyang slaughtered several villages in the suburbs of Zheng County in the middle of the night yesterday, raping, burning, killing, and looting. Food and fodder is outrageous! And after dawn, Lu Guogong, who was stationed on the east side of Tongguan, led his Zuowu guards to raid the Nanyang Duan's barracks, annihilating all the private troops of thousands of clans!"
Li Chengqian was taken aback, and immediately became dissatisfied. This is military affairs. The person who came to report was Fang Jun outside the Xuanwu Gate, or Li Junxian who was in charge of the "Hundred Knights", or Li Jing who ruled the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace. Are you a waiter to mix in?
Liu Jie didn't seem to realize that he had "crossed the line", excitedly said: "This move may be an opportunity for the British to start a war with Guan Long. The day of our victory is not far away!"
Although Rang is keen to promote the peace talks in order to gain merits, but until the final victory of the East Palace is the premise of everything, otherwise, no amount of merits will be useless, and he will even bear the infamy of "the alliance under the city" and "disgrace the master and humiliate the emperor"...
Of course, if Li Ji really went to war with Guan Long, then Guan Long would definitely throw away all bottom lines and strive for peace talks with Dongsong as soon as possible.
The current situation is that Donggong, Guanlong, and Li Ji are afraid of each other and contain each other. After Donggong and Guanlong shook hands and made peace, although the power is still not inferior to Li Ji, but they occupy the righteousness. Unless Li Ji rebels, otherwise, he can only Obediently bowed his head and surrendered.
As long as Li Ji starts a war against Guan Long, Guan Long can only obediently negotiate peace with the East Palace, otherwise he will have to kill himself...
Li Chengqian was still contemplating the entanglement of interests and interests, and his servant came to report, and Li Junxian came to report with urgent military affairs.Glancing at Liu Ji, this gentleman calmed down his excited expression, and took a step back, as if he also knew that such military affairs should be reported by the military or Baiqisi. What's the point of making such a gesture after "crossing the line" and intervening in military affairs?
Li Chengqian hated such a pretentious gesture in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, and called Li Junxian in.
Li Junxian strode in, saw Liu Ji was there, and paused slightly.
Liu Ji's face remained unchanged, and he sneered in his heart.
Li Chengqian said: "General Li has something important to do, but it doesn't matter."
But in his heart, he was wondering where did Liu Ji get the news, that he was one step faster than Bai Qisi?
Li Junxian then said: "I just received the news that the Nanyang Duan's private army stationed outside Zheng County last night robbed the village, massacred, raped, set fire and plundered, and was wiped out by Lu Guogong's army..."
While speaking, he looked at Li Chengqian's expression, and seeing that he was not surprised, he was not only secretly surprised.For a long time, Li Ji stayed out of the matter, put on a completely neutral posture, and watched the tigers fight from the sidelines.Now that Cheng Yaojin suddenly dispatched troops to wipe out the Nanyang Duan Clan's private army, it is of great significance, and it is very likely that it is a harbinger of Li Ji's intention to end, why does the prince seem indifferent to such a major event?
Li Chengqian said: "Liu Shizhong has reported this matter just now."
Li Junxian frowned, and glanced at Liu Ji, no wonder Fang Jun was very jealous of this person, as expected, he was too powerful and stretched his hands too far...
But Fang Jun went to fight Liu Jie for such things. He continued: "... In the afternoon, Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun, was ordered by Duke Ying to enter the city to pay condolences to Princess Baling. The Duke of the State met privately. However, the guards were extremely strict, and the content of the discussion was not known for the time being. Afterwards, the Duke of Yun went out of the city and returned to Tongguan, and the Duke of Zhao returned to Yanshoufang. A group of Guan Long nobles, because they blocked the left and right during the discussion, the content is also unknown."
"what?!"
Liu Ji was shocked. He didn't know about Zhang Liang's entry into the city. That's fine, he actually met with Changsun Wuji in private... Since Zhang Liang came to the city to express condolences on behalf of Li Ji, his words and deeds must also be entrusted by Li Ji. Li Jizhi was ordered to contact Changsun Wuji.
This is enough to make the situation in the entire Guanzhong usher in another drastic change!
If it is said that Li Ji might formally start a war against Guan Long before, which would be of great benefit to the East Palace, then once Guan Long forms an alliance with Li Ji, the East Palace will usher in a catastrophe...
Liu Jie couldn't care less about avoiding suspicion, and said quickly: "Your Highness, something is not going well! The whole army should be ordered to take strict precautions, or let go of the bottom line to speed up the peace talks. Otherwise, once Changsun Wuji reaches a certain contract with Li Ji, the East Palace will Falling into passiveness, the situation is not good!"
Before, he was very excited about Cheng Yaojin's extermination of the powerful and private army, but in the blink of an eye, the situation took a turn for the worse.
