Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4286 Angry
Up to now, Xue Wanche's trick of dark chess has actually not had much effect. On the contrary, if Xiao Yu's plan is followed to launch a fierce attack on the rebels when they join forces, with Xue Wanche's bravery and You Wuwei's strength, it is very likely that the rebels will be defeated. Hundreds of thousands of mobs were defeated and lost.

In case the morale of the rebel army completely collapses, they may disperse in a hurry before they can cross the Bashui River and meet Yuchi Gong...

Then all the previous calculations to lure those disobedient people to jump out were all in vain.

So Xue Wanche can launch an attack, but he must master the scale, and he must not fight happily and completely break up the rebels if he can't control it...

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "This is not what I'm asking, but how to deal with Song Guogong and Chu Suiliang's surrender?"

Not to mention that the current situation is under control, whether there are Xiao and Chu who are destined to suppress the rebels, even if Xiao and Chu need to change their fate against the sky, this kind of person will not be favored by people. Seniors, who would like it?

Keep such a person by your side, waiting for him to be betrayed again when he is in despair?
Li Jidao: "Your Majesty can make decisions arbitrarily, and the ministers have no advice."

When dealing with things, you can speak freely and analyze the pros and cons; when dealing with people, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and hide your clumsiness.

People and things are absolutely different.

The power of the emperor is supreme in the world, and the things he considers are different from ordinary people. Generally speaking, the emperor can delegate power to his subordinates, and let them do whatever they want on a certain matter. Even if there are omissions or even failures, they can be tolerated. But power is not easily given to others.

Employing people is the emperor's greatest power.

This is a line, it is best not to cross it when you are leisurely...

Li Jing also understood this truth, and nodded in agreement: "How to deal with it all depends on His Majesty's wishes. In any case, the old minister supports His Majesty's decision."

After more than ten years of being idle, Li Jing also figured out some ways to be an official when he was depressed. "As long as the emperor decides something, he must support it without principle" is one of them, and it is more appropriate to use it on this occasion.

Li Ji glanced at Li Jing, a little speechless.

You, Li Yaoshi, have always been arrogant and arrogant, not limited to things or lingering in your mind, when did you become so unprincipled and slanderous?

Shame...

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and said: "This matter is not urgent for the time being, and it will not be too late after I have a good balance. Since Song Guogong wants to 'anyway', then we will give him a chance to order Xue Wanche to listen to Song Guogong's 'lobbying' and prepare Cross the Wei River and 'join' the rebels, choose the opportunity to launch an attack, and weaken the strength of the rebels."

"Here!"

*****
The army of the King of Jin bypassed Lishan Mountain in mighty force, and marched along the Bashui River from north to south.

When the army marched to Tongrenyuan, Li Zhi ordered to set up a camp with the mountains facing the water and rest for one night. At the same time, he sent scouts to contact Yu Chigong. They arrived at the source of Bashui two days later to join forces with him, and sent troops to attack Chang'an together.

At night, Li Zhi tossed and turned in the tent, unable to sleep peacefully.

He was precocious since he was a child, and he was used to being a good boy among his brothers, and he was better at being a well-behaved, sensible, docile and filial boy in front of his father.When he became an adult, he received his father's pleading and praise from the government and the public. Even a ruthless person like Changsun Wuji wanted to give up the prince and support him to ascend the throne, which made him more confident. , The ability is not inferior to everyone in the world.

Even if he absconded from the Taiji Palace and set up the anti-flag, the ending of being defeated and killed at every turn never made him timid.

A man stands between heaven and earth, what joy is there in life, and what fear is there in death?
However, now that he is getting closer and closer to Chang'an City, his fate is about to be pronounced, whether he will soar into the sky and become the emperor's hegemony, or will he be defeated and die, and will rot under the loess for thousands of years...

My heart finally became uncontrollably tense, and I began to think wildly, worrying about gains and losses.

"Your Highness, this old slave has something to report."

Wang Shoushi's voice came from outside the door, Li Zhi got up, grabbed a shirt and put it on, stood up and opened the door.

The moonlight outside the door was like water, and the night wind in early autumn was a bit chilly. Looking at Wang Shoushi standing in front of the door, Li Zhi shuddered...

When the two returned to the tent, Wang Shoushi closed the door, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Zhi, and said in a low voice: "This old slave was running around in Chang'an city, and when he was at Liu Ji's mansion, he presented this letter to Li Zhi. Please open the letterhead yourself, Your Highness."

Li Zhi was taken aback: "Liu Ji?"

Ten years after Zhenguan, the two officials most favored by Emperor Taizong in the court were Ma Zhou and Liu Ji.For these two people, Emperor Taizong tried his best to cultivate them, hoping that in the future they could inherit the moral and ability of the ministers of Zhenguan and become the ministers of the new emperor's humerus.

And these two people did not disappoint Emperor Taizong. Ma Zhou was pragmatic and low-key. After taking over the Jingzhao Mansion, he made remarkable achievements, outstanding talents and abilities.And Liu Jie made his fortune in Yushitai, and today he has become Zhongshuling, the nominal head of the minister, only a little bit worse than Shangshu Zuopushe...

How could Wang Shoushi get in touch with such a person?
In an instant, most of the previous apprehension and anxiety disappeared, replaced by endless confidence.

Even the Zhongshu Ling appointed by Li Chengqian secretly contacted me, which shows that the fate is on me!
While opening the envelope, he asked, "How did you gain from this trip?"

Wang Shoushi shook his head, and said: "Those guys don't see rabbits or hawks. If the situation is not clear for a day, they probably won't make a clear statement for a day. It's reasonable, after all, they are all dragging their families, and how many people are there?" Are people willing to take risks? Talk about their loyalty to Emperor Taizong, willing to support Emperor Taizong's last wish, that's all. The most important thing is to arrive at the city of Chang'an as soon as possible, so that those people will see the light, and they will naturally be willing to blend in Come in."

Who would get up early?
Supporting King Jin's success in seizing the throne is of course beneficial, but the risk is also great. More people are willing to wait and see for a while, and wait until the chances of King Jin succeeding are higher, even if the benefits will be correspondingly lower, then they will make a move.

Like Chai Zhewei, like Liu Ji...

Li Zhi looked at the letter paper, his face was stunned at first, and when he finished reading it, his face was red and angry, he pressed the letter paper firmly on the table with a "bang", and said angrily: "Old man Xiao Yu is bullying people too much." , really think that this king dare not kill him? It is simply unreasonable!"

He always thought of himself as a cultivated person, although he was not as profound as Changsun Wuji, and he was definitely not a shallow person who showed emotions, but now that he saw the letter sent by Liu Ji, he was really furious, and then He didn't care about his prestige and cursed loudly.

For a long time, the trust in Xiao Yu was even more than that of Changsun Wuji's uncle. Xiao Yu tried his best to persuade him to escape from the Taiji Palace and rebel. Sell ​​him for nothing!

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

"Immediately send someone to arrest Xiao Yu. This king wants to dig out his heart and liver to see if it is as black as ink? Fortunately, this king trusts him and obeys his words, but it turns out that he is such a cold and treacherous person. Death is not a pity!"

"Your Highness, calm down. At this moment, stabilizing the morale of the army is the most important thing. Liu Rengui and Zheng Rentai have captured Tongguan, rumors are spreading in the army, and the army's morale is in turmoil. Then the morale was slackened and the defeat was crushed."

Wang Shoushi dissuaded in a low voice.

Although the private soldiers recruited by the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have been defeated, Xiao Yu's position in the current army is still very important.After all, Cui Xin, who relied on his status as a private soldier in Shandong, had no achievements in the courts of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Compared with Xiao Yu, he was far behind, and his prestige could not be compared.

Yu Chigong is even a staunch supporter of Xiao Yu. If he wants to deal with Xiao Yu, he has to consider Yu Chigong's reaction.

It is obvious that Yu Chigong must have a sense of crisis for the Jin King's army, which is currently the main force of Shandong's private army, and will definitely not be willing to lose Xiao Yu, an ally...

Li Zhi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned his mind quickly.

This letter from Liu Jie has disclosed Xiao Yu's double-faced stance, and stated that Xiao Yu's letterhead has been sent to the Hall of Wude at this moment, and the emperor, Li Ji, Li Jing, Fang Jun and others must have already begun to prepare, in case Xiao Yu really persuaded Xue Wanche Make it "anyway" and cross the river to "rendezvous", what should I do?
Accepting his "meeting teacher", with Xue Wanche's bravery and his subordinate You Wuwei's fierceness, is holding a "shocking thunder" that will explode at any time but does not know when it will explode, which is really the way to death.

At present, there are [-] troops in the army, but none of them can resist.Yuchi Gongyuan, the only one who can stop Xue Wanche, is on the west bank of Bashui...

If you don't accept it, it means that you have seen through Xue Wanche's conspiracy and know that he has been persuaded by Xiao Yu. Since Xue Wanche has already crossed the river, how can there be any possibility of retreating?It is bound to launch a surprise attack brazenly.

Regardless of the victory or defeat, just being dragged by Xue Wanche in this Tongrenyuan, the situation immediately fell into a passive state. Those who were waiting for him to rush to the city of Chang'an and then responded with troops, might have to change course and turn to support with all their hearts The emperor raised troops one after another to wipe out Li Zhi, the "rebel"...

At that time, the wall will fall and everyone will push it, and the drum will be broken by thousands of people, and defeat will be inevitable.

The more I think about it, the more panic I get, and the more panic I get, the more anger I get. If it wasn't for Xiao Yu, a traitor, how could he be in such a dilemma?
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't think of a solution, so I asked, "What time is it?"

Wang Shoushi said: "It's almost Zishi."

Li Zhi resolutely said: "Only when the order is given, the fire is made to cook food at Yinshi. At the beginning of Maoshi, the whole army pulled out the camp and rushed to Huaxu Mausoleum, crossing the river to join the division of the E State Guild."

Wang Shoushi: "Here! But at this moment, if Xue Wanche crosses the river and follows him, how should we deal with it?"

Li Zhi looked gloomy and said, "Call Cui Xin here."

"Here."

Seeing that King Jin had already made a decision, Wang Shoushi stopped talking and went out to deliver orders, and at the same time invited Cui Xin.
