Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3184
Li Ji didn't dare to take it seriously, so he got up quickly, and said in return: "I have seen Zhao Guogong...Your Majesty, I still have important matters, so I will take my leave first."

Looking at Changsun Wuji sweeping away the decadence of the past, his expression was full of excitement and encouragement, not only speculating in his heart, what good thing happened to this?
His Majesty Li Er waved his hands, looked at Changsun Wuji and asked, "What's the matter with the auxiliary machine?"

Li Ji is the head of Zaifu. Although he is very dissatisfied with his usual way of being an official who "does not touch cause and effect" and "eats a vegetarian meal", he is his own humerus minister after all.Between him and Changsun Wuji, there is nothing to avoid Li Ji...

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression unchanged, glanced at Li Ji, nodded and said: "That's true, it happens that the British Duke is here, so you can read about it. Just now Dalang sent news from Pingrang City, Yuan Gai Suwen Trying to get Da Lang to be in the middle to discuss peace matters with His Majesty."

As soon as these words came out, His Majesty Li Er and Li Ji were all shocked.

Li Ji lost his voice: "How is it possible?"

Immediately, he realized that these words were suspected of questioning his eldest grandson Wuji, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Gai Su Wen is headstrong, brutal and arrogant. Such people have a strong temper, and they would rather bend than bend. How can they negotiate peace easily? At this time, negotiating peace is no different from surrendering. It was too unexpected."

That is to say, in front of Changsun Wuji, if someone else ran up to him and said that Yuan Gai Suwen asked for peace, he would kick that person out of the door.

What are you kidding?

In this world, there is always a kind of person who is strong and domineering, who would rather bend than bend, even knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to walk on the mountains of tigers, forges ahead with perseverance, and would rather be smashed to pieces than back down half a step.

Regardless of character and ability, Yuan Gai Suwen is such a person.

Faced with doubts, Changsun Wuji didn't think he was disobedient, he took two steps forward and handed a copy of the letter in his hands to His Majesty Li Er, and said in a deep voice: "The old minister also doubts whether this is a plan by Yuan Bandit to slow down the army, but even if it is a trick, Our army only needs to advance all the way, fighting and talking at the same time, what can the Yuan thief do? The closer the vanguard of our army is to Ping Rang City, the less bottom line the Yuan thief will have. Even if they really negotiate a peace, they will be passive. Our army is constantly attacking and driving straight in, so why should we be afraid of their tricks?"

So what if Yuan Gai Suwen used tricks?

Even if he was desperate and sincerely wanted to negotiate a peace and surrender, it was impossible for Datang to agree immediately and stop ordering the army to stop the attack immediately.From ancient times to the present, such things as peace talks are not uncommon. When is it not a fight while talking, until one party can no longer hold the fight?

Li Ji remained silent.

He naturally understood what Changsun Wuji said, but he didn't believe that Yuan Gai Suwen would have the slightest intention of making peace.If you make false claims with it, it will inevitably shake the army's morale. After all, the other party has the intention of surrendering and negotiating a peace, the soldiers will inevitably lose their temper, and they will no longer be so fierce and fearless in battle.

The left and right are about to negotiate a peace, who will go all out?
If our little life is desperate, and the two countries negotiate peace again in a blink of an eye, wouldn't it be in vain...

His Majesty Li Er finished the letter paper, read it carefully, raised his head, handed the letter paper to Li Ji, turned his head to greet Changsun Wuji and said: "Sit down, this matter needs to be discussed."

"Here!"

The two bowed to the order, and then sat on the left and right under His Majesty Li Er. Changsun Wuji reached out to pick up the teapot on the desk to pour tea, while Li Ji held the letterhead and carefully read it word by word.

After Li Ji finished reading and put the letterhead on the table, His Majesty Li Er took a sip of tea and asked, "What do you think Mao Gong thinks?"

Li Ji pondered for a moment, and then said: "I still prefer Yuan Bandit's strategy of slowing down the army. Our army captured Anshi City, and the momentum was in full swing. Daxing City and Boba City occupied the ferry of Yalu River, and there were famous generals guarding them. It is impossible to stop the footsteps of our army, and at most cause some casualties. And once they cross the Yalu River, they can go straight to the south and attack Ping Rang City. Under such circumstances, even if the abyss thief sends his head How can our army be willing to stop attacking and discuss peace with him? The Yuan Bandits are indeed tyrannical, but they are definitely not brave and foolish people who can take over the power of Goguryeo, and it is impossible not to see this."

This time even Changsun Wuji nodded slightly, thinking it made sense.

The most important thing in negotiating peace is that the two armies are either evenly matched, or the losses on both sides are too great to sustain.Now that the Tang army has an absolute advantage, it will take less than a few days to reach the city of Ping Rang. Under such circumstances, how can the Tang army give up its advantage and negotiate peace instead?
His Majesty Li Er drank the tea in his cup, put the cup on the table, got up and walked to the side of the wall, looked at the map on the wall with his hands behind his back, and sighed softly.

"The abyss believes that it is impossible for our army to negotiate peace with it, so this is just a tactic to delay the army. If our army can shake the heart of the deadly battle, it will be able to suspend the defeat and then arrange it calmly. However, he does not know that this move is wrong. Yang wrong, right in our hearts..."

Both Li Ji and Changsun Wuji were silent, knowing that His Majesty Li Er was referring to the Western Regions and Hexi.

It's not that the two of them have insufficient strategic literacy, they didn't think of this, but they never thought that Yuan Gai Suwen could know the situation in Hexi and the Western Regions tens of thousands of miles away.

Tuyuhun rebelled and raised troops to invade Hexi, but Guanzhong was short of troops. Fang Jun could only lead half of the right guards out of the Hexi counties to resist the rebel attack.

The victory or defeat is yet to be known, but the disparity in the strength of the two sides is huge, and there must be more defeats than victories.

Once Youtunwei was defeated and unable to resist Tuyuhun's invasion of Hexi, the land of Hexi would inevitably be swept away by the flames of war, thus cutting off the connection between Chang'an and the Western Regions.

And the land of the Western Regions is not a pure land.

Many tribes in the Western Regions had rulers who were dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty. Previously, Guo Xiaoke, the Protector of Anxi, was united and killed by various tribes. Fortunately, Li Ji led his troops to the west and wiped out the rebellion.If Hexi was cut off by Tuyuhun, those tribes in the Western Regions who had endured the forbearance might not revive and rebel.

Not to mention the remnants of the Turkic tribe who are not dead, and the big cannibals who are eyeing the Western Regions...

But the difference between Liaodong and Hexi is more than ten thousand miles?Even though Yuan Gai Suwen has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, it is impossible to see the situation in Hexi.

But just as His Majesty Li Er said, Yuan Gai Suwen may have just hit by mistake, but he hit Datang's weak spot all of a sudden.

If a peace can be negotiated, ending the battle of Liaodong as quickly as possible, and immediately dispatching troops to Guanzhong, would be the best situation for Datang...

The idea of ​​"negotiating peace" that Yuan Gai Suwen raised for some unknown reason was in the heart of Tang Dynasty.

Changsun Wuji remained expressionless, and said: "Gou Zi is in Ping Rang City, he has won the trust of the Yuan thief, is responsible for the defense outside the Qixing Gate, and arrests the fleeing common people and merchants. Stealth knowledge of the detailed deployment of the Abyss Thieves. There is one thing that he did not write on the letterhead, but told the sender to convey it verbally: the most elite "Wang Zhuanjun" under the Abyss Thieves has never shown up until today. Quanzi has been inquiring in many ways, but there has been no news. Therefore, he is sure that the Yuan thief must have left behind and wants to fight to the death. However, all kinds of orders in Damo Lizhi Mansion are under Quanzi's control. When necessary, he will The boys from Lianheyuan launched a mutiny, forcibly opened the Seven Star Gate, and allowed the army to attack the city."

His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Really? That's great! With Dalang as the internal response, no matter what tricks the Yuan thief plays, he will definitely lose! However, the auxiliary machine must also tell Da Lang that the Yuan thief is cruel. He must take care of himself, and when he succeeds, I will never break my promise!"

Changsun Wuji hurriedly got up, prostrated himself on the ground, and cried: "The dog was confused for a while, and committed a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. A hundred deaths cannot atone for his crime! Fortunately, His Majesty is magnanimous, allowing him to take the crime and make meritorious deeds. He will do his best to assist the army Break through Ping Rang City to gain a chance to return to the homeland. For this reason, even if you are smashed into pieces, you will not hesitate! My eldest grandson's family is certainly not a hero, but there has never been a person who is greedy for life and fear of death. Your Majesty will do his best and die for himself!"

Li Ji sat aside, his eyelids twitched twice.

Your Majesty's favor and respect for the eldest grandson's family is indeed different from other families.Of course, he didn't think that it was the credit of His Majesty Li Er's caring for the eldest grandson Wuji, no amount of credit would be able to withstand a rebellion, but that it was the shadow of Empress Wende who was caring for the sons of the eldest grandson's family.

Think about it, it has been more than ten years since Empress Wende passed away, but still able to make His Majesty Li Er, regardless of being betrayed by his former son-in-law and the court's laws, make the decision to allow Changsun Chong to commit crimes and make meritorious service.

It's really rare for such a deep love between husband and wife to appear in the thought of the emperor...

His Majesty Li Er was stretching out his hand to help Changsun Wuji up, when he saw the servant never came in quickly, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, urgent report from Chang'an, great victory in Hexi!"
