Chapter 648: What's the point of agreeing
Xu Ling said in a deep voice: "Now that there are signs of civil strife on the Zhou side, it is impossible for Li Xinchen not to notice it, or Li Xinchen is ready to intervene in it." However, the civil strife of the Zhou people is only a symptom so far, and there has been no movement for a few days, which shows that they are also trying to find a way to resolve the contradiction or transfer the contradiction, and Li Xinchen wants to be involved in the internal fighting of this behemoth alone, which is tantamount to swallowing an elephant, so he needs our help. ”
Chen Ji slowly leaned back on the dragon chair, his fingers lightly tapping on the table.
Li Xinchen was able to change from a white Ding to a general who is now in charge of the party in more than a year, and the speed of his progress is even higher than that of Xiao Maha, Chen Xuan can't even believe how he promoted Li Xinchen.
But the matter has come to this point, the vertical son has become famous, and Chen Ji can only pinch his nose to admit it, and he knows better that Li Xinchen is far more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
And Xu Ling then said: "If Li Xinchen wants to reach an agreement with us, he must show his sincerity, and his agreement to come to the capital is his sincerity, but having to bring soldiers and horses means that he also wants to explain to the court that he is not easy to bully, at least not arbitrarily slaughtered, Li Xinchen at least wants to maintain what he has now." ”
"Bashu has fallen into his control, and it is not so easy for me to bring Bashu back into his hands." Chen Ji snorted and said, "In this way, Li Xinchen proposed such a condition more to express a warning to the imperial court, rather than wanting to completely refuse?" ”
Xu Ling pondered and said: "Li Xinchen is not alone, he also has many officials under him, and obviously these people have shared the honor and disgrace with Li Xinchen, the old minister said a bad word, and asked Your Majesty not to be surprised, once Li Xinchen has any accidents, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be polite to these Li Xinchen's subordinates." ”
Chen Ji did not refute this, he knew that what Xu Ling said was the truth. Once Li Xinchen is settled, Chen Ji does not intend to cheap Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie and others, even if they are inextricably linked with the courtiers of the DPRK, China and the DPRK.
In turn, these people must also know it, especially those Bashu generals and even the Ba people who Li Xinchen has wooed, so they will definitely try their best to oppose Li Xinchen's adventure in Jiankang Mansion, so Li Xinchen's arrival with soldiers and horses is likely to be the result of a compromise between them.
In this way, there is nothing incomprehensible that Li Xinchen will directly put forward such conditions. At this point, Chen Ji was also in a trance, and it seemed that Xu Ling hadn't spoken to him so straightforwardly for a long time.
Thinking of this, Chen Ji sighed softly in his heart, he didn't know who was wrong - at least now Li Xinchen's rise and showing a strong sense of disobedience is no different from what Chen Ji has begun to worry about, indicating that Chen Xu's basic vigilance and suppression are not wrong, although this method did not stop Li Xinchen's rise in the end.
"Your Majesty thinks what the minister said is reasonable?" Xu Ling asked tentatively at this time.
Chen Ji came back to his senses at this time, stretched out his hand to support the table, and said in a low voice: "So according to Aiqing's meaning, you should agree to Li Xinchen's request." ”
Xu Ling immediately solemnly arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks so." ”
After a pause, Xu Ling then said: "As long as the imperial court is sincere to Li Shizhong, Li Shizhong's lone army in Jiankang Mansion obviously can't make any waves. What's more, His Majesty was only concerned about Li Shizhong's request to lead troops and horses into Beijing, but he also ignored one point. ”
"Oh?" The sadness on Chen Ji's face dissipated a little, and he asked curiously, not caring at all that Xu Ling's address to Li Xinchen had eased a lot.
Xu Ling smiled slightly: "Li Shizhong just said that he wanted to enter the capital to boast about his merits, but he didn't say how many soldiers and horses he would carry, it can be said that there is still room for negotiation with the imperial court on this, Li Shizhong may only want to protect himself, in this case, if there is no malice on both sides, why can't Your Majesty give Li Shizhong this opportunity?" ”
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, and looked straight at Xu Ling, and this time Xu Ling did not hesitate or retreat, and directly met Chen Ling's gaze and nodded solemnly.
Chen Ji sighed softly and sat back down, not saying anything, but everything was already silent. The most Chen Ji did was to suppress Li Xinchen, and now letting him agree to this condition is tantamount to admitting that everything he did before was wrong, which is also difficult for Chen Ji to accept.
It is not so easy to get such an arrogant person to admit that he is wrong.
But he also knew that this had to be done, at least Chen Ji's previous efforts had proved that it was almost impossible for Chen Ji to open up the situation in the confrontation between Southern Chen and Northern Zhou, so Chen Ji needed someone to guide him, and Li Xinchen, who had obviously won the two victories of Jingzhou and Bashu, was Chen Ji's best choice.
Nan Chen needs to continue to open up the situation, and Chen Ji doesn't want to let go of this rare opportunity in front of him. But from Xu Ling's statement now, he can clearly see that continuing to launch attacks in the two directions of Jingzhou and Huainan is obviously not enough to get the support of the courtiers, and the previous failures have proved that the defense of the Northern Zhou in these strategic points is very perfect, and the rash direct attack of Nan Chen can only break the head and bleed.
And correspondingly, if it is really as Xu Ling said, the current Li Xinchen also needs an ally, after all, the civil strife in the Northern Zhou Dynasty is such a big mouthful, and Li Xinchen himself cannot swallow it in one bite. As long as Li Xinchen and Nan Chen can be consistent, it is naturally self-evident to take advantage of this infighting.
As long as you take it yourself······ Everything seems to be going in a better direction.
Chen Xuan only felt a little powerless, for Li Xinchen, suppression is no longer the best way, it turns out that the current Li Xinchen has the ability to set up another mountain gate, and this reverse co-optation, I don't know if it is to let Nan Chen have a strong ally, or is there a threat that is even more difficult to deal with than Northern Zhou?
Having made up his mind, Chen Ji closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "As Aiqing said, the possibility of Li Xinchen entering Beijing is very small, so why don't I agree." I ······ Quasi-play. ”
At the very least, it shouldn't allow things to continue to go in a more unfavorable direction as they are now······
And Xu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he didn't have much bottom in his own heart, hearing the word Chen Ji fall to the ground, the big stone room in his heart could be regarded as falling to the ground.
With a solemn arch of his hand, Xu Ling's voice was loud: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
He silently recited in his heart: Li Xinchen, although I don't know what you want to do, the old man can only help you so much.
