Listen to the strings and know the elegant meaning.

As soon as he heard Gongsun Changming's question, Cao Xin knew that this was an answer that Jiedu's subordinates, including Li Anguo himself, were eager to know, but they were not easy to ask.

If they ask, it means that they are suspicious of Cao Xin, and if they don't ask, this knot is hidden in their hearts, and it will cause a wordless rift and distrust between the two sides. At a time when it is necessary to work together to fight the enemy, it is of course extremely disadvantageous to have such problems internally.

Gongsun Changming is the best person to ask this question. He is detached from the outside, and has a very good personal relationship with Li Anguo and Cao Xin, and now he is doing a job like a military advisor in Chengde.

"It's a long story, let's go in and talk!" Cao Xin smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood what the other party meant, but Li Ze's matter was obviously not good to talk about in public.

The group walked into the hall, although they had not yet received an answer, but overall, everyone's mood was still very good. No matter what the reason is, at the most critical time in Chengde, Cao Xinneng led the army over, which in itself is enough to explain the problem.

Because of the entry of 20,000 reinforcements into the city, the city of Shenzhou has suddenly become much easier.

"Jie Shuai, the little boy went to look for me." After sitting down, Cao Xin got straight to the point.

In the lively hall just now, there was a sudden silence, and most of the people were embarrassed, some looked down at their toes, some turned their heads to enjoy the scenery outside, and some looked at Cao Xin in horror, most of these people were officials from Shenzhou, such as Du Teng, Huang Shang, etc.

The situation is really delicate.

In the past, everyone had only one son, Li Che, and Li Che was very good, so naturally there was no problem. But now it has been revealed that there is such a guy as Li Ze, and this freshly baked little boy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is still nesting in a small village, which has already made the eldest prince and Suning Su Thorn Shi eat a lot of depression.

But even so, no one thought that Li Che would lose in this competition, because everyone was used to Li Che, not only used to his existence, but also used to his way of doing things, and the little boy Li Ze, everyone didn't even know what his temperament was, so naturally they wouldn't support him.

But now the situation is different.

Li Che was defeated in Hejian Mansion, and his life and death are unknown. If he unfortunately loses his life, then this little boy may immediately ascend to the sky and become a new major general of Chengde.

If this is the case, it is simple, I am afraid that Li Che will come back unharmed, then the matter will be troublesome. Li Che, who returned from defeat, has suffered a big blow in both his prestige and strength, and now it seems that the little boy seems to have won the support of Cao Xin, and the scene of the two sons fighting for each other is afraid that it will be placed in front of everyone.

When the time comes, everyone will have to stand in line.

And the political side is the most terrifying.

Once you stand wrong, you will never recover.

The hall was very quiet, and Li Anguo was naturally embarrassed, and coughed a few times before saying, "A little doll that smells like milk, what are you going to do?" ”

When this sentence was spoken, everyone in the hall naturally disagreed. From his father's point of view, fifteen-year-old Li Ze is naturally still stinky, but from the perspective of everyone, he will never look at it like this. Can a doll kill hundreds of Suning's elite cavalry silently? A doll can make Cao Xin treat it so seriously?

"Jie Shuai, the little boy found me and gave me a detailed analysis of the various situations that may occur in this war, which especially emphasized the possibility of Zhenwu turning against the water, combined with some unreasonable situations that Zhenwu showed on the battlefield at that time, my subordinates I was shocked into a cold sweat." Cao Xin looked at the crowd: "Cao someone doesn't know that gathering a large number of government soldiers during this time period will indeed make people uneasy, but Cao would rather let others be suspicious, and he has to do this, just in case." And Cao also believes that the festival commander will never think that I Cao has any bad intentions because of this matter. ”

Cao Xin directly tore the matter apart, and although everyone was a little embarrassed, they were really relieved.

"Everyone also knows that there are many water systems in Yizhou, and flood control after spring ploughing every year is the top priority of the year. Speaking of this, Cao Xin sighed: "I would rather all my preparations were in vain, but I expected that as soon as I completed the assembly, bad news had already come from Shenzhou, and I immediately led the army here." ”

Speaking of this, everyone thought that Cao Xin had already finished speaking, but after he paused, he slipped out again: "The little boy's judgment of the current situation and the accuracy of his grasp of people's hearts made Cao someone impressed." ”

There was another unspeakable embarrassment in the hall.

After a long time, Li Anguo said with some annoyance: "Since that little beast knew that something was going to happen in this battle, why didn't he lead his command to the rescue?" ”

The heads of the people were lowered.

Gongsun Changming said softly: "Gong Li, he didn't come, not because of anything else, but because of his reputation. In what name did he come? ”

One sentence immediately blocked Li Anguo back.

Gongsun Changming didn't make the words completely clear, but everyone in the room understood the meaning of the words.

If Li Ze comes, the battle between the big and small sons will be on the table.

If Li Ze comes, maybe Chengde will have to do it first.

There was still laughter outside, but there was silence in the hall, which was supposed to be a good thing, because Li Ze suddenly jumped out and threw everyone into a bad situation.

It's not good to say this, and it's not good not to say it.

But one thing that everyone knows is that after the end of this battle, Chengde will have to face internal disputes.

In the night, Li Anguo and Gongsun Changming stood in the shadows, looking at Suning's angry face on the lighted window not far away.

"Let me out, let me out!" Suning roared.

"Du Teng told Suning about today's daytime." Ang Lee National Road.

"Gong Li, you can't release Suning now." Gongsun Changming persuaded.

"I know." Li Anguo said quietly. "Now that Cao Xin has almost made his attitude clear, Suning will have more trouble when he comes out. And now, Shenzhou's persistence is inseparable from Cao Xin. Suning getting into trouble with him will only make us centrifuge internally. ”

"Cao Xin is pouring out of the nest this time." Gongsun Changming said: "Now that the little boy has thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, Cao Xin can be regarded as handing over his old nest to the little boy, which fully explains the problem, Li Gong, from now on, you really have to seriously consider this problem." ”

"What kind of virtue does that little free cub have, how can he convince Cao Xin?" Li Anguo was a little puzzled.

"The little boy not only convinced Cao Xin, but I am also convinced now." Gongsun Changming looked at Li Anguo: "Actually, after we arrived in Shenzhou, the little prince also sent me a letter to talk about the risks of this battle, but at that time, I didn't take the things he analyzed to heart, thinking that it was impossible to happen." Now, however, the fact is that it slapped me in the face, and if I had seriously considered this matter at that time and strongly opposed Li Che's exit, perhaps the situation would have been much better now. I was blinded by hatred, Li Gong, it was my dereliction of duty. ”

Li Anguo shook his head: "Changming doesn't have to say that, in fact, whether you oppose it or not, I will decide to fight this battle, because it is related to the survival of our Chengde in the future." Lu Long is the danger of the present, and the court is the danger of the future, no matter which one it is, he will eventually want to destroy my Li clan. ”

Gongsun Changming looked up to the sky and sighed: "The mountain rain is coming, internal and external troubles, Li Gong, I seem to have seen the world, and I am about to return to the situation more than ten years ago." But we are all old. ”

Both were silent.

Chengde's situation is too special, if there is no grievance between the Su and Wang clans, Li Anguo may still be able to find a way to bridge the rift between Li Che and Li Ze, but with the blood feud between these two families, there is no way to reconcile.

"Anyway, let's wait until this battle is won. If you lose this battle, it's useless to think about anything now. Li Anguo lost his way.

Gongsun Changming thought for a while and said, "Gong Li, with all due respect, if something happens to the eldest son, naturally there is nothing to say, if the eldest prince returns safely, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Anguo's body suddenly froze when he was about to turn around and leave, and it took a long time before he said with some difficulty: "If Che'er comes back, I will naturally support him, Cao Xin, I will naturally tell him." It's been a decades old brother, and I think he'll still be on my side. ”

Gongsun Changming nodded silently and did not speak again. Li Anguo and Li Che have been together for more than 20 years, and Li Anguo has grown up watching little by little since he was a child, and this kind of affection is far from being comparable to Li Ze. Emotionally speaking, Li Anguo's choice is not wrong. Choosing Li Che, in Li Anguo's view, is the simplest and safest way. In any case, everything Li Anguo did in Chengde can be said to have been snatched from the hands of the Wang family, and his subordinates are more or less stained with the blood of the Wang family.

From this point of view, no matter how optimistic Gongsun Changming is about Li Ze, he is afraid that he will not be able to change Li Anguo's decision.

Unless, Li Che is dead, Li Anguo has no other choice.
