Chapter 502: Lies
Coming out of Qinyi Courtyard, Jiang Xuan accompanied Lu Qingrong and walked slowly towards Yu Courtyard.
The maids and servants followed from afar.
Lu Qingrong sighed at this time: "Mrs. Wu seems to be really scared by you just now!" ”
Jiang Xuan suddenly raised his eyebrows: "How do you know that I am just scaring her?" ”
Lu Qingrong chuckled, and did not answer directly: "Of course I know!" ”
She still knows her ......
Jiang Xuan finally had a smile on his face.
Lu Qingrong was in a good mood, and dragged him to explain: "Looking at Daqi, I'm afraid there are few people who want Mobei to recover stability as soon as possible more than you, how can they target the Mobei coach for their own personal grudges!" What's more, I see that you have always been very good to Jiang Ke, and before he left, you told him a lot of things......"
Lu Qingrong's words are true, but when they are expressed in words, they are a little deliberate.
Jiang Xuan smiled even deeper, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch her nose: "You don't have to praise me like a flower......" He paused, and then became much more serious, "I'm fine." ”
Lu Qingrong was surprised, but pretended to be unconvinced: "I'm not exaggerating, this is all obvious!" ”
Jiang Xuan looked back at her with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that such an obvious thing can scare Mrs. Wu like that, it can be seen that not everyone can see it!" ”
Although he was not uncommon with Madame Wu's approval, the feeling was still somewhat subtle.
Lu Qingrong immediately shook his head: "It's not that she can't see it!" ”
Xu is mood swings are a little big today, and Jiang Xuan didn't react for a while.
Lu Qingrong slowly explained: "I want to come." In Mrs. Wu's mind, it doesn't matter whether you will put those words that scared her into reality. Important: You have the ability. For her, that was enough to scare her. ”
Jiang Xuan looked at Lu Qingrong's serious expression, and felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.
After a moment of silence, he spoke again, pretending to be serious: "I can't say what she is afraid of, but I know it." What she regrets the most! ”
"What?" Lu Qingrong was confused.
Jiang Xuan's joking meaning was fully revealed: "It must be a matter of doing everything possible to marry you into the Hou Mansion!" ”
Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh and glanced at him with disgust.
Jiang Xuan smiled heartily and took her hand. Keep going......
In the next few days, there was no progress on Sun Yiming's side for the time being.
On the side of Qinyi Courtyard, because of Jiang Xuan's warning, there was no recurrence.
Merely. Although Jiang Xuan did not intervene in any way in the Mobei war. But there was still an accident.
On this day, news came.
The Fanmeng people sent envoys to Beijing and directly sent a letter of state to the imperial court to discuss the matter of peace.
When Lu Qingrong heard this, he only felt ridiculous.
Seeing Jiang Xuan's serious expression, it didn't look like a joke.
Lu Qingrong was puzzled: "It was the Fanmeng people who invaded my territory first, burned, killed and looted, and caused trouble to the people. You have wiped it out once, and now you have come back to take revenge...... Now Daqi has already sent troops there. Seeing that victory was in sight, they remembered that peace had come! Can the emperor agree! How to negotiate peace? I'm afraid it won't work just to surrender, even if I compensate for more silver taels ......"
Lu Qingrong took it for granted that the Fanmeng envoy was here to beg for mercy.
Jiang Xuan interrupted her with a wry smile: "Not only do you have to compensate for the silver taels, but you also have to cede the land." ”
Lu Qingrong had already sensed a hint of strangeness, but instinctively avoided it, and only said, "What does Daqi want their land to do?" The name is not right! ”
Jiang Xuan reluctantly told the truth: "You said the opposite, it was they who asked Daqi to cede the six states of Mobei and return them to Fanmeng forever." ”
Lu Qingrong was stunned: "Why! ”
"With them, almost all the soldiers sent by Daqi to Mobei were captured. Now on the border of Daqi, only the original defenders remain, and their strength is weak, and it is difficult to resist. ”
Lu Qingrong was extremely shocked, and after a while, he could only repeat: "All captured? ”
Jiang Xuan nodded: "Including Jiang Ke, including your eldest brother." Coupled with the fact that the emperor's eldest grandson voluntarily surrendered to the enemy, there are really a lot of chips in the hands of the Fanmeng people now. ”
Hearing that Lu Chengjie was also captured, Lu Qingrong felt even more empathy, and only hoped that this was not true: "Since the remaining defenders of Daqi are already vulnerable, why did the Fanmeng people not directly occupy the six states of Mobei, but instead came to negotiate peace?" ”
"In order to cut off the back road of Daqi. If you agree to cut the land this time, the six states of Mobei will become the land of the Fanmeng people, and if you want to get it back in the future, you will lose your morality first. Moreover, through the negotiation of peace, you can get a lot more silver taels, I am afraid that the Fanmeng people will not pay so much tax in a few years! Jiang Xuan's heart was no better than Lu Qingrong, but he could only tell the truth, "Whoever is changed, in this kind of good situation, he will earn as much benefit as possible and go back......
It's not hard to understand.
Lu Qingrong could only think of something else, and asked again: "However, a few days ago, there was good news coming back from Mobei...... How did such a big reversal occur in just a few days? ”
Lu Qingrong still hopes to find a flaw in it.
Jiang Xuan shook his head and hesitated for a moment before saying, "According to the current situation, the biggest possibility is that Jiang Ke was lying about the military situation before......"
Jiang Xuan himself was unwilling to face this speculation.
Lu Qingrong's eyes widened: "He...... Is that bold?! ”
"I wish he hadn't, too. However, all kinds of indications now show that it was his greed for merit and recklessness that caused the entire army to be captured. Jiang Xuan let out a long sigh, "The envoy of Fanmeng did not hide this. According to the time calculation stated by the envoy, when Jiang Ke sent the good news, it was the day they fell into an ambush and were captured. ”
Lu Qingrong frowned: "So...... Is it that Jiang Ke has not finished the battle yet, so he is in a hurry to send out the good news? ”
Jiang Xuan's face could not hide his anger, obviously acquiescing to this statement.
"Can you be sure that the Fanmeng people are telling the truth?" Lu Qingrong still had a trace of luck.
"Even if it's not all true, it's not too far off." Jiang Xuan explained, "Over there in Mobei, since the last good news, there has been no news, which is very unusual. If our army is still strong in Mobei, it is impossible for the envoys to enter the court this time without receiving any news! More than 100 people from Fanmeng and his entourage entered Beijing, and only Shuntianfu hurriedly came to report, and it was only half a day in advance! ”
This is tantamount to a great shame for the Great Qi court.
Thinking that at the beginning, Jiang Xuan and Cui Yan left a good situation in Mobei one after another, and it was obvious that as long as they sent someone casually, this military feat would be captured......
No one expected that the bargain that everyone grabbed their heads would be picked up like this by Jiang Ke.
Greedy for merit, the whole army was captured, and a lie about the military situation...... This level of absurdity has not occurred in the Great Qi Dynasty for decades.
