Chapter 17: The Situation Outside!
Nothing was said all night.
The next day.
It was already three poles in the morning, and when it was close to noon, Li Er and Wei Zheng got up from the bed with some difficulty.
Last night, the emotions of the two were completely hooked up by Su Wen's poem, and when they came back, the two talked a lot about the current situation again.
It's just that.
No matter how the two analyze it, it is already a fact that they are trapped here, and what should happen will definitely happen, and whether they want to or not, it will not change the outcome.
And so.
The two people who were worried didn't fall asleep in a daze until dawn.
"Your Majesty, do you smell anything?" As soon as he got up from the bed, Wei Zheng snorted and turned his head to look at Li Er in some surprise and asked.
"I was awakened by this scent!" Li Er glared at Wei Zheng angrily.
You don't have to think about it to know that this must be what Su Wen is doing again.
During this period of time, they have become numb to Su Wen's endless dishes.
From the time they inadvertently broke into this place until now, it seems that what they eat every day has not been repeated.
For this.
Li Er also sulked silently for a long time.
As a well-deserved Son of Heaven and a supreme existence, he has not eaten well among ordinary people, can he not be angry?
It doesn't matter if Su Wen doesn't eat well, before that, he hasn't even seen it, which is also the most infuriating!
"Your Majesty, have you found out, this old general Cheng has been getting more and more diligent recently, I have no opinion that he recognizes that Su Wen as his master, but if he treats Su Wen more diligently than His Majesty, then the problem will be serious!" Wei Zheng glanced around the room and said to Li Er very seriously.
In fact.
He has long been dissatisfied with the current Cheng Yanjin, and every time he sees Cheng Yanjin following Su Wen's side and obeying this ordinary person, he has a feeling of betrayal.
"What do you mean?" Li Er keenly sensed the deep meaning of Wei Zheng's words, looked at him with a frown and asked.
The old minister was just worried...... After all, what this Su Wen has now is ......"
"Enough!"
Before Wei Zheng's words were finished, he was directly interrupted by Li Er's wave.
"In that case, you don't want to hear it a second time, and besides, you'd better not let the third person know about it, otherwise I don't care if anything happens!"
After saying this, Li Er directly waved his hand and turned around and left the house, leaving only Wei Zheng, who was full of gloomy face, standing alone in place and silent.
Of course, Li Er knew what Wei Zheng wanted to say, but he also knew why Cheng Yanjin was the way he was.
If it weren't for him, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, why would Cheng Yanjin pull down his figure and dignity to serve an ordinary people?
He was very angry now, and this Wei Zheng was disappointing him more and more......
……
Su Wen had owned the manor for months, but it was clear that he had not yet fully understood the hidden properties of the manor, such as the amount of time they had spent.
While Su Wen, Li Er and the others were having a good time in the manor, outside this huge manor, things did not change as much as they imagined.
If Li Er, Cheng Yanjin and the others were outside the manor at the moment, they would definitely feel extremely shocked by the scene outside.
Because.
Having already spent months in the manor, they may not believe that the outside world has only been three days!
The disappearance of the emperor made the Tang army go crazy and generally attack the troops of the Turks.
Tuli and Jieli Khan, who were originally going to sign a contract with Li Er, had a difference of opinion after they suddenly launched an attack and failed to catch Li Er, Cheng Yanjin and others.
In the face of the Tang Army's lifeless attack, Jieli Khan tried his best to retreat.
In his opinion, the disappearance of the emperor has made things very simple, and they only need to bring their troops back to prepare for the time being, and come back when the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil due to the power vacuum.
At that time, they may not need to pay any price at all, and they can easily defeat Datang!
But.
His opinion was strongly disagreed with by the Tuli Khan, and his idea was simpler, now that the emperor had disappeared and they were in the city.
What's more.
They are only a few dozen miles away from Chang'an now, as long as the emperor is missing now, the Tang army has no leader, and they will take Chang'an in one go, and everything will be settled.
Ultimately.
The two finally parted ways because of differences of opinion, Jieli Khan retreated with his own men first, while Tuli Khan insisted on staying and chasing Li Er.
As long as they can hold Li Er's head, their operation to take Chang'an will be half successful.
However.
The reality is always cruel, after Jieli Khan led his troops away, Tuli Khan and his own people surrounded the place where Li Er finally disappeared.
For three whole days, tens of thousands of troops were dispatched, but in the end nothing was found.
During these three days, the angry Tang Army launched no less than ten attacks.
It's just that.
I don't know if it's because of Li Er's disappearance, or because of some other problems, the Tang Army, which has attacked ten times, has not made the slightest progress, and no one on either side can help anyone.
That's it.
The two sides reached a stalemate, and the focus of everything was on Emperor Li Er.
Datang Barracks.
In the big tent.
Wei Chi Jingde kept walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, and around him, there were several generals sitting, and everyone's expressions were extremely gloomy.
"General Wei Chi, can you stop leaving, I came today to reach a consensus with you!" A middle-aged general looked at Wei Chi Jingde who was walking back and forth helplessly and said.
"Does this still need to be agreed? His Majesty the Emperor disappeared inexplicably, and now that life and death are unknown, shouldn't we look for His Majesty the Emperor at all costs? Is this still negotiable? Wei Chi Jingde paused, stared at the middle-aged general, turned his head and roared at the middle-aged general.
"Li Jing, Li Jing, Your Majesty is as kind to you as a mountain, something has just happened, and you are even thinking about giving up? Do you still have humanity in your mother's house? ”
The corners of Li Jing's mouth, who was scolded by splitting his head and covering his face, twitched, and stood up with his fists clenched, and the fearless Wei Chi Jingde also roared: "Keep your mouth clean!" Who here doesn't want to get His Majesty back? ”
"If I can really find Your Majesty, even if I change Li Jing's life, Lao Tzu's eyes won't blink, but is it time to fight hard?"
"Now that all our main forces are here, what should Chang'an do? What if someone in Chang'an takes the opportunity to rebel now? Jieli Khan has already led people away, how do you know that he didn't leave for Chang'an this time? ”
"I want to take the troops back to Chang'an because I am afraid of death? That's for Your Majesty to keep this hard-won inheritance, you know? ”
Faced with Li Jing's series of questions, Wei Chi Jingde was speechless.
This is a debate that will never lead to results, and there is no doubt that both the emperor and Chang'an are crucial and must not be lost.
"You can take three thousand people, if anything goes wrong in Chang'an, don't blame me for not being merciful!" After being silent for a long time, Wei Chi Jingde gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Don't worry! If something really goes wrong, you don't have to do it yourself! Li Jing snorted coldly, got up and walked away with the two generals.
It wasn't until Li Jing and the others left completely that Wei Chi Jingde sighed, looked at the outside of the big tent with blank eyes, and muttered, "Your Majesty...... Where the hell are you? ”
