Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3688 Doubtful
Cheng Yaojin was shocked: "Guanlong doesn't want to form an alliance with the commander? Then why did they come? They are not afraid that the commander will completely surrender to the prince of the East Palace, and then send his division to Chang'an to wipe out these chaotic ministers and thieves, so that they can never be saved?"

Li Ji sat back and waited for the personal soldiers to clean up the broken tea set on the ground, then poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and corrected: "It's not that Guanlong is unwilling to form an alliance with me, but Yuwen Shi and Ji are unwilling to make an alliance with me. ."

Cheng Yaojin also returned to his seat, his eyes were round like a pair of copper bells, full of puzzlement: "What's the difference?"

Yuwen Shiji is the messenger of Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji represents the entire Guanlong. How dare Yuwen Shiji go against Changsun Wuji's will?

Li Ji explained: "Scholar Yuwen and his representative, the eldest grandson Wuji, naturally did not dare to leave behind the reason that he did not want to form an alliance with me. Otherwise, how would the eldest grandson Wuji be willing to quit? As you said, once you push me to the crown prince Over there, Guanlong will face a situation of doom and gloom. However, the interests of Shi Yuwen and the eldest grandson are not the same. Just imagine, if you can successfully persuade me at this moment, the East Palace will be deposed in the future. Under the control of Wuji, their Guanlong clan still clings to Changsun Wuji's wings as before... In this case, what is the purpose of Guanlong clan willing to take risks with Changsun Wuji?"

Cheng Yaojin looks rude, but he is definitely not a political idiot. Hearing the words, he immediately understood: "Yuwen Shi and his representatives are the determination of those Guanlong clan to fight to the death, and strive to grab more benefits and bring the family to a higher level. So they advocated opening peace talks, because once the peace talks are successful, they will dominate the situation and gain the most. But Changsun Wuji is the leader of Guan Long, and he dare not openly refuse or even destroy the alliance that may be reached with you, the commander.”

"Exactly, you gave him this excuse. Even if Changsun Wuji is domineering again, but after Yuwen Shiji went back and said that he was humiliated by you like this, what can Changsun Wuji say?"

Li Ji drank tea lightly. Although he blamed Cheng Yaojin for a few words, he didn't seem to take it to heart.

Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Ji's face, and asked tentatively, "Master... what do you think?"

Li Ji put down the teacup, savored the sweetness of the tea, and sighed: "This Longjing tea has to be a new tea with a mellow fragrance. It has been left for a long time, and it is very dull... What do you want me to think?"

Cheng Yaojin said, "It's not what I want you to think, but what do you think about yourself?"

This was a bit of a tongue twister, Li Ji snorted, and said, "Don't care what I think, all you have to do is follow the orders, don't be in a hurry to disobey the orders and ruin my major affairs, lest the Japanese military law be ruthless and make you Sorry for the first time."

"Ah!"

Cheng Yaojin sneered: "It's true that you are the commander of an army, but even if I disobey your order, would it be possible that you still dare to engage my military law and chop off your head with a knife?"

The military order is as true as a mountain, but it is not without room for change.With Cheng Yaojin's status, qualifications, and title, even if he violates the military order, as long as it is not a major crime of treason, who can kill him?

Li Ji glanced at him and said lightly, "Don't try it."

The tone was very light, but Cheng Yaojin, who knew his character well, trembled in his heart, feeling the strong threat and warning.

motherfucker!

They all say that my old Cheng is a rough piece, and Fang Er is a cudgel, but the two of us together can't match Li Ji's ruthless heart and no scruples...

He nodded sullenly, drinking tea without saying a word.

After a while, he asked again, "If someone comes from the East Palace, how will you deal with it?"

Li Ji took a sip of tea and said casually, "Ignore it, leave him alone, find a house for him, and ignore the rest of the tea, food, and food."

Cheng Yaojin said worriedly: "If it's the second roommate who comes back this time, I'm afraid there will be trouble..."

That stick is the most difficult thing to deal with. If the Eastern Expedition Army ignores it, and even does not provide food and tea, that guy can lift the roof.

Li Ji shook his head and said, "It won't be Fang Er who came here. Right now, the peace talks between Donggong and Guanlong have become mainstream. Yuwen Shi and Gan Shunpo went down the donkey and left. Obviously, the peace talks have made a major breakthrough. How can Fang Jun, the main war faction, be allowed to lobby? Either Xiao Yu or Cen Wenwen... Cen Wenwen is old and frail, and he can't travel long distances, let alone bypassing Guanlong's army. , in case of accidentally falling into Guan Long's hands, he might be killed by a pawn with a knife. It's more likely Xiao Yu, after all, because of his inextricable relationship with Guan Long, even if he falls into Guan Long's hands , and there is no danger of being killed."

This speculation is reasonable and reasonable, Cheng Yaojin nodded in approval, looked up at Li Ji, and hesitated.

Li Ji naturally knew what he wanted to ask, sighed, and shook his head: "It's not because I don't believe you, it's really a matter of great importance, and my choice will affect Jiangshan Guozuo... Wait a minute, it won't take long, you Just do as you are told.”

Seeing his tone was so tight, Cheng Yaojin could only shake his head.

Immediately, he frowned and asked: "Fang Er's servant is a tough fighting faction. Just by looking at his words and actions when he came here, we can see that he is extremely opposed to the peace talks with Guan Long. Do you think this servant will simply stay in Provoking a war outside the Xuanwu Gate and sabotaging the peace talks?"

Li Ji asked back, "You want him to do that?"

Cheng Yaojin nodded and said, "No matter what the intention is in your heart, it is an indisputable fact that the Guanlong army has started the war, and in the name of 'remonstrance', it is an indisputable fact. For the sake of the people, I would never want to see Guan Long finally successfully grabbing the benefits and occupying the court... It's just that Fang Er is extremely loyal to the prince, and if the prince tries to suppress him, he is not allowed to disrupt the peace talks, and maybe he will recognize it with his nose."

"Haha," Li Ji chuckled, put down the teacup, stood up, and said, "Don't worry, he will."

Then go out.

Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Li Ji was so determined?
Perhaps, when Fang Jun came to act as a lobbyist, the two made an agreement in private?But if that is the case, it means that Li Ji is inclined towards the East Palace in his heart, and how can he allow the world's gatekeepers to enter Guanzhong after occupying Tongguan and rush to Chang'an to support Guanlong?
Invite the clan army into the Internet, annihilate it in one fell swoop, and never have future troubles... Just as this idea arose, he was dismissed by himself.It is easy to cut off the clan army that enters Guanzhong, but it is difficult to retaliate the clan in the world. Once these clans in various places rise up, they will sweep the whole world in a short time.

No one has enough prestige to suppress them, and the entire empire will fall into civil war, the country will collapse, the country will collapse, and Li Jizhi will never take the blame for such a tragic world...

But why is Li Ji so sure that Fang Jun will start the war again and try to sabotage the peace talks?

Cheng Yaojin was confused and couldn't guess what was going on...

*****
Xiao Yu took dozens of personal soldiers and hundreds of "hundred cavalry" elites out of Chang'an, crossed the Wei River, crossed Jingyang to the north, and reached Zhengguo Canal.Afterwards, he galloped eastward along the official road along the Zhengguo Canal, and reached the bank of the Yellow River. Crossing the Yellow River by ferry, he finally escaped from the area controlled by the Guanlong army and was safe.

The envoy, who was relieved, went all the way south along the official road along the Yellow River to Fenglingdu...

Fenglingdu is one of the most important ferry crossings on the Yellow River. Even though there are many battles in Guanzhong at this moment, there are still many business trips here and it is quite prosperous.

Running fast all the way, the elderly Xiao Yu suffered from the long journey. His face was pale and haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his legs became weak when he got off the horse. Ass sits on the ground.

Li Junxian dismounted, came to Xiao Yu, and persuaded: "Crossing the river is Tongguan, Song Guogong might as well rest here for a day, restore his energy, relieve fatigue, and think about how to persuade British lord."

This is of course a reason, but he is more worried that Xiao Yu's journey has exhausted his hard work. This state is actually trying to support him. If something goes wrong, he will be blamed as a guard.

Xiao Yu was barely holding on to her spirits, she was so weak that she was panting for breath. She looked at the icy waters of the Yellow River, her tone was weak but firm: "It's okay, this old man can still hold on. Hurry up and cross the river to reach Tongguan. There will naturally be time to rest and recuperate. !"

Li Junxian could no longer persuade him.

The group arrived at the post station of Fenglingdu, and with the assistance of the postmen, they collected a ferry to cross the Yellow River.At this time, the river water has begun to melt, and the ice accumulated in winter is gradually shattered by the backlog, which brings great difficulty to boating. Fortunately, the Yellow River has not yet reached the flood season, which is the dry season, and the current is not urgent. It was smashed into pieces by the rushing ice...

But even so, the boat stumbled on the river, hit by floating ice from time to time, and the hull swayed and jolted extremely violently. Xiao Yu, who was born in the south of the Yangtze River, couldn't stand the shaking, and the seasickness was extremely serious. Only half left.
