Chapter 452: The hearts of the people are scattered
Xue Chong took a glass of wine, put down the wine glass, burped, looked at Xue Jian and said, "Fourth uncle, what are you going to do?" ”
Xue Jian laughed, lifted the wine jug and poured it full for Xue Chong, but when he poured it for himself, there was only half a glass left, and he threw the wine jug aside, he spread his hands and said, "What else can I do?" What else do you think I can do? I have this strength now, I can only follow Tian Ping, he said to kill Wu Wei, I will follow him, he said that he wants to defect to Wu Wei, I can only follow him, what else can I do? ”
Xue Chong fell silent. Xue Jian and Pei Zhiqing are now combined, and they are only in their early 5,000s, and they are the weakest in Luzhou City.
"Fourth Uncle doesn't have to worry too much, isn't there still me?" Xue Chong comforted.
Xue Jian drank half a glass of wine and sneered: "You? I know that you still have nearly 20,000 people, but looking at your current appearance, how long can you hold on, I'm afraid that if you continue like this, you won't last as long as me. You have a lot of subordinates, but there are a lot of people, and your burden is also great. How long will the food in the city last? When will external reinforcements arrive? Is it a month, or two months? What if they don't come at all? ”
Xue Chong covered his face with both hands, kneaded it for a long time, and sighed: "Fourth uncle, haven't you really thought about the future?" I've even thought about surrendering Wuwei, but where is Xue Ping! And where do you hold an important position, you have passed, or you are fine, people like me, in the past, I am afraid that it will be a dead end! ”
Xue Jian was stunned: "So you thought about it too?" ”
"Of course I did." Xue Chong nodded and said, "But it was precisely because I thought about it that I gave up this thought." Xue Ping is only afraid that he hates me so much, if it weren't for me, Zhaoyi is afraid that he won't be where he is today, right? ”
"Zhaoyi has come to this point today, what does it have to do with you? It's all done by this bastard Xue Wei. Xue Jian said angrily.
"In Xue Ping's place, does it make any difference?" Xue Chong shook his head and said.
Xue Jian thought for a while, lowered his voice and said, "You should know what happened in Huguan some time ago, right?" ”
"Of course I do." Xue Chong said angrily: "How could I not know such a big thing?" If it weren't for those things, I'm afraid that the Wuwei army would have entered Luzhou by now. It is precisely because of the delay for this month that we have some confidence to breathe. If it weren't for those things, Xuanwu's reinforcements would have been able to come out so quickly? ”
Xue Jian smiled: "You didn't find some other flavors from this matter?" ”
"What does it smell like?" Xue Chong was puzzled.
Xue Jian stretched out a finger and nodded at Xue Chong: "You, why do you only see the superficial phenomenon?" There's a lot of stuff hidden here. ”
"Please also ask the fourth uncle for advice."
"First of all, we can see that Li Ze and the royal family are not of the same mind. From this incident, we can also see Li Ze's domineering and arrogance, he didn't take the royal family in his eyes at all! When his mother died, he forced the queen to die to pay for his mother's life. ”
"He's got the power." Xue Chong looked infinitely at the tunnel.
Xue Jian looked at Xue Chong and said, "You said such a thing, do the emperor's gang hate Li Ze?" ”
"Needless to say? It's just that the strength is not good, so what can Li Ze do? They are all counting on Li Ze now! Xue Chong said disdainfully.
"That's exactly what happened!" Xue Jian said: "Who is Xue Ping?" Is it Li Ze's people, or the emperor's people? ”
Xue Chong was stunned, suddenly understood, and sat up straight all of a sudden.
"Xue Ping is the emperor's man." Xue Jian said: "Now the emperor's strength is very pitiful, and it can be said that he is trembling under Li Ze's men. ”
"Fourth uncle, are you saying that if we throw in the past, Xue Ping will not be difficult for us, and will try his best to win us over?" Xue Chong's expression was solemn.
"We are all surnamed Xue!" Xue Jian said: "The two of us, plus Pei Zhiqing, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, but they are all veterans of a hundred battles, do you think Xue Ping will treat us as treasures?" As for Xue Wei's death, what is it? Is the relationship between Xue Ping and Xue Wei very deep? Xue Ping is not a thin-eyed person, he also has to calculate! In any case, we can be regarded as a family, and if we really want to pass, he will definitely try his best to connect with us in order to protect the emperor and the prince. ”
"But against Li Ze, I can't see any way out!" Xue Chong said.
"It naturally looks like that now." Xue Jian said: "But what the future holds, who can say for sure, maybe the situation will change in the future?" Think about it, at that time, Tian Chenghe's army entered Zhaoyi, how invincible, but it was such an accident, Wei Bo became what he is now, and everything made a wedding dress for Xuanwu. Oh, by the way, maybe the biggest fruit in the end was Wuwei Li Ze. So the world is unpredictable, and no one can say for sure. ”
"That's right." Xue Chong said.
"The key thing is that we have to have our own strengths." Xue Jian continued: "Even if you take 10,000 steps back, the royal family will not be able to support you, and it won't have much to do with us, Li Ze really wants to treat the royal family as a mud bodhisattva, doesn't he need to empty them and dig up all the forces loyal to the emperor?" When the time comes, we will have to vote again! ”
Xue Chong took a deep breath: "Fourth Uncle has a point, I have to think about it." ”
"yes, we'll all have to think about it." Xue Jian said: "Where is Tian Ping, there is no final bottom yet, if he also makes up his mind, then this Luzhou City will actually be finished." ”
"Fourth uncle, do you think Tian Yue will also have this thought?" Xue Chong asked.
Xue Jian shook his head: "Tian Yue won't, he still dreams of being able to use the power of Xuanwu to repel Wuwei, and then cut Luzhou and become a buffer zone between Wuwei and Xuanwu, swaying from side to side and maintaining independence." Zhu Youzhen also grasped this point of his mind and kept cheering him up, and now that Cao Huan's soldiers and horses have arrived in Weizhou, his thoughts are even more eager. ”
"This idea itself is not wrong, Tian Ping, as a member of the Tian family, why doesn't he support it?" Xue Chong was a little puzzled.
Xue Jian laughed: "If Tian Yue really achieves this goal, what good will it do to Tian Ping?" I'm afraid that at this time, Tian Ping's life will not be guaranteed. Why did Xue Wei kill me and Xue Xiong at that time, it was just because his backer Wuwei was getting stronger and stronger, and he wanted to take this opportunity to kill us, is the family dominant? If Tian Yue cuts the drama Luzhou, will Tian Ping be left behind? Speaking of which, Tian Ping is the rightful successor of Weibo. Among Weber, there are many people who support him. Not to mention Tian Xu and Tian Huai, even if Tian Yue's subordinates are now, there are many people who are afraid of Tian Ping in their hearts. ”
Xue Jian nodded. Yin Jian is ahead! With Xue Wei's example in front, Tian Ping will naturally think more, instead of helping Tian Yue to succeed and his life will be in danger, it is better to vote for Wuwei, or he will lose his independence from now on, but at least his life is worry-free.
"I understand what the fourth uncle means, I'll go back and think about it, and I'll discuss it with my subordinates. Give the fourth uncle an answer as soon as possible. Xue Chong said.
"Okay, anyway, no matter where we go, our surname Xue always has to be twisted into a rope, in this world, it's really not easy to live!" Xue Jian shook his head and said, "Come on, come on, although it's just corn, it's good to pour broth." ”
The two picked up a few bowls of rice, got out of the proud building, and parted ways.
Xue Jian returned all the way to Dongcheng, and did not return to his apartment, but went straight to Tian Ping. It seemed that he had known that Xue Jian would come, and someone was waiting in front of the door, and he took Xue Jian to the study behind Tian Ping's residence. Inside, in addition to Tian Ping, there is another person.
Wuwei general slaughtered the tiger.
"General Tian, General Tu!" Xue Jian arched his hand at the two of them and walked over to do it.
"What does Xue Chong mean?" Tian Ping asked impatiently.
"He has already thought about it, but he didn't say anything, he only said that he still had to discuss it with his subordinates." Xue Jian said.
"That's pretty much it." Tian Ping said with a smile: "In today's military discussion, Tian Yue and Zhu Youzhen joined forces to oppress him, he was already very angry, but he was forced to lack of strength and did not dare to attack on the spot." General Tu, if Xue Chong also joins in, then we will be nine out of ten. ”
Tu Hu smiled slightly: "If Xue Chong also joins, the grasp will naturally be a little greater, but until it is really launched, no one dares to say that he is ten percent sure." General Tian, how much influence do you have over Tian Yue's subordinates? ”
"If you really want to make a move, I dare to guarantee that at least half of Tian Yue's subordinates will maintain a neutral attitude even if they don't help me!" Tian Ping said confidently. "General Tu, when are we going to do it?"
"The matter of Cao Huan in Weizhou will be resolved together with the matter in Luzhou." Tu Hu smiled and said, "General Tian is a little restless, just wait for the news." ”
"Didn't you take Luzhou first and then solve Cao Huan?" Tian Ping looked at Tu Hu in surprise.
"If Luzhou solves it in advance, then Cao Huan will run away!" Tu Hu smiled and said: "Our handsome man is clever, he has already arranged, everything is in the calculation, General Tian just wait and see." ”
Tian Ping and Xue Jian glanced at each other, both a little frightened.
Xue Chong, who had returned to the northern city, stood on top of the city tower, looking at the wall that was much higher not far away and the bright lights of the stars on it.
Today, Xue Jian's words gave him a great impact, it turned out that the Tian clan itself had already fallen apart, and even Tian Ping was ready to surrender, this battle was still a fart!
"Sun Xi, you go out of the city to see Yang Zhihe." Xue Chong said in a low voice.
"Yes."
"Don't say anything to Yang Zhihe, just ask Yang Zhihe to send you to Li Ze." Xue Chong said.
"Understood."
Xue Chong decided to surrender, but he was not ready to follow Xue Jian, his current strength was enough for him to have the bargaining chips to negotiate with Li Ze alone.
