"What Da Lang is worried about is actually nothing." Liu Wenjing fell, her tone was calm and gentle, and she looked confident. Although the ancestors of the Liu family have never appeared in Xie An's and other great talents, there has never been a glorious past of lifting weights and laughing lightly to break the enemy. But as a son of a family, he has been cultivated in this aspect since he was a child, so it is a means to look after the family, not to mention that he does have a successful case in his heart, so he is more calm.

"Parrot Island has always been a den of bandits, thieves attacking each other, and officials and soldiers fighting each other, these are all common things. This time, the Sui army attacked Parrot Island and wiped out a group of thieves, which is not a significant military situation. Now Pushan Gong led the Wagang army to attack Luoyang, and the Sui army was fighting tightly, and the victory and defeat were indistinguishable from the two battles. There are also some fools in the land of Guanzhong who do not know the destiny of heaven and still refuse to submit, and the Khan of the Turks is also very restless now. I heard that his envoys have been traveling frequently to Mayi recently, and they have a close relationship with that Liu Yingzhu, and there are even rumors that Liu Yingzhu may return to the Turks and be canonized by Shibi Khan. If this is true, it will be difficult for Jinyang to be stable. These matters are so important that they cannot be careless, the lord and nobles are busy, how can they take care of a group of thieves thousands of miles away? ”

Li Jiancheng sighed: "I invited Zhaoren to come because I wanted to hear a few words of truth, so there is no need to say these words." You and I are in a heart-to-heart relationship, and a certain concern is clear, so why use these words to prevaricate? Sooner or later, adults will know about this matter, even if they don't care about it now, they must have an explanation in the future, otherwise it will be difficult for Erlang and Uncle Pei to handle it. Sooner or later, things will happen, and you still have to think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible. ”

He also knew that what Liu Wenjing said was not unreasonable, as far as the current Chang'an was concerned, what happened in Parrot Island was indeed nothing. When the Li family raised their troops, they regarded the world as something in their pockets, especially after successfully seizing Chang'an, and they believed that the world would be invincible from now on. The reason why Li Jiancheng, Dou Fengjie and others dared to do something to Xu Le was also because they were sure enough to control the situation.

It's just that I didn't expect that the troubled times are unusual, and the rapid changes in the current situation are often unimaginable. The battle of the Wagang army to attack Luoyang was very different from the imagination of Li Jiancheng and others, and although the Wagang athletes who could fight well won on the battlefield, they never broke through the Luoyang city wall. The Yingyang Mansion in the mainland, which should have been exhausted, under the command of Yang Tong and Wang Shichong, actually broke out with amazing combat effectiveness, and blocked the Wagang army outside Luoyang City so that it could not advance or retreat.

Affected by the Luoyang War, the Guanzhong Yingyang generals, who were supposed to surrender to the wind, gradually became tough, some cities surrendered and rebelled, and some defenders would rather die than surrender according to the city, putting on a posture of fighting to the death with the Li family, which made the Li family father and son feel a headache. In addition, Liu Wuzhou's change in attitude towards the Turks was also a great threat.

The Li family didn't regard Liu Wuzhou, who was born as a local tyrant in the countryside, as an opponent at all, even if he completed the merger of Heng'an and Mayi, he was still a border veteran in Li Yuan's eyes. As long as you move your fingers, you can crush Liu Wuzhou and his people. With the current financial situation of the Li family, dealing with a group of poor soldiers who are unable to even provide for themselves with rations should have been captured.

Unexpectedly, Liu Wuzhou actually lost his sincerity to the Turks. You must know that Heng'an, Ma Yi and these border eagles and soldiers exist to prevent the Turks, and the Turks fight with them every year. It is difficult to calculate the number of people who died at the hands of each other, and the two sides can be regarded as a blood feud. After the meeting, there is no death, and there is no room for manoeuvre.

Liu Wuzhou actually risked the disapproval of the world, and risked the scolding and even mutiny of his subordinates to have a relationship with the golden wolf king Shibi Khan, and the envoys between them kept coming. I'm afraid that it won't be long before he will accept the canonization of Shibi Khan and become a prince under the Golden Wolf.

Regardless of the infamy that his actions will leave behind, the direct consequence of this incident is that millions of Turkic wolf riders may break through the pass and sweep the Central Plains at any time. Originally, Mayi and Heng'an were the gateways to Jinyang, and the border armies of the two places prevented the disasters of the north for Jinyang. Now that the portal has been lost, the original guards have turned against each other, and Jinyang has to face the Turkic soldiers. Don't forget that there is still a young master of the Zhibi family in Jinyang City, not to mention that there are still mountains of wealth in Jinyang Palace, and if the Turks enter the customs, they will definitely not let go of Jinyang City.

In addition, Xue Ju, the captain of Jincheng, raised the flag to rebel not long ago, calling himself the overlord of Western Chu, with "Qin Xing" as the year name, recruiting a group of thieves to capture the city, and the soldiers were unstoppable. It is also an opponent that the Li family cannot underestimate. What I am most afraid of in troubled times is that I don't know when and where there will be an outstanding hero, and the appearance of every hero will bring variables to the world, and the more variables, the more unfavorable it will be to the Li family.

Now the situation of the Li family is like a layout on a chessboard, on the surface, it is difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat from Yang Guang, and if you are not careful, you may quickly collapse and lose the whole game. In this case, Li Yuan may not be able to take care of the affairs of Parrot Island in the spirit, and the Li family will not start a dispute at this time. But as long as Xu Le comes back, this matter will still be troubled, and even become the source of a big chaos.

Li Jiancheng can not be afraid of Xu Le or Li Shimin, but he can't be afraid of his father. He believed that no matter what kind of trouble he caused, his father would cover it up, but once the matter became big and even spread, Li Yuan would punish himself in order to appease the generals or to give an explanation to the deceased in the future. Li Shimin is now riding around with Xuanjia to attack those cities that refuse to be attached, and he has made some military achievements, and even the famous veteran Qu Tutong has surrendered in front of his horse.

With such a brother eyeing him, his slightest mistake may lead to missing the imperial throne, how can he be careless? How dare you be careless? Not to mention that Xu Le is brave and brave, he is not an opponent, or Li Shimin is riding with Xuanjia to seek justice, and he is afraid that he will inevitably lose his face in front of others and become a laughing stock at home. In Li Jiancheng's view, Liu Wenjing's reassuring words are not only useless, but also have no sincerity. If it weren't for the fact that he was asking for someone now, and there was no one under his command to use, I was afraid that Li Jiancheng would have a seizure on the spot.

Liu Wenjing smiled slightly, seemingly casually dropping a piece, and then pointed to the chessboard: "Da Lang, please look, this one falls, can the chess game change?" ”

Li Jiancheng looked patiently for a moment, and then frowned: "Zhaoren's son seems to be a random hand at the moment, but if he is connected with Zhaoren's chess pieces, it will become the key to deciding the outcome of the battle." Now that he is in chaos, I am afraid that he will not be able to solve Zhaoren's wonderful hand. ”

Liu Wenjing still pointed to the chess piece and said: "What if this chess piece has never fallen, or suddenly disappeared without a trace?" ”

"Missing?" Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought. He is not a fool after all, and he knows that Liu Wenjing will not deliberately make fun of himself at this time. He was referring to the chess pieces, and he was talking about Xu Le. This person really seems to have fallen from the sky, from an insignificant little person, to now he has become a powerful minister of the Li family, and may even affect the victory or defeat on the battlefield. It is appropriate to use him as a metaphor for a chess piece. But......

He shook his head: "This chess piece has fallen now, and I don't have the ability to make it disappear from the chessboard." ”

"This ability is not available, but others may not have it. As long as Da Lang pushes it so gently, this chess piece will ......" As he spoke, Liu Wenjing put his finger on the chess piece and pressed it slightly, and the refined jade chess piece flew out of the chessboard and landed on the wooden board on the ground, making a crisp sound.

Li Jiancheng hurriedly said: "Zhaoren doesn't have to fight at this time, if you have anything to say, just say it explicitly." ”

"This is not a sharp edge, but the current situation in Chang'an. Dalang, you should have seen it clearly, but recently you have been so confused by these little things that you haven't seen the trick here. Da Lang, please think about it, what is the most important thing for the lord now? Luoyang? Jinyang? Still is...... Daxing Palace? ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice: "Zhaoren also saw it?" It's just that now that the strong enemy is gone, are we acting in a hurry at this time? To tell you the truth, I have talked about this matter with an adult in private, and the adult is also worried, we have just set up the acting king as the king, and we are afraid that we will be the laughing stock of the world. ”

"That's a mistake! Since ancient times, the name is not right, although the lord is now the king of Tang, but after all, he is not the son of heaven, and the people's hearts will naturally not be attached. The father and son of the Yang family are perverse and devastated, Yang Yu Huangkou is a child with no talent and no virtue, how can he be the master of the people? Besides, now that the heroes are fighting endlessly, if there is no lord in charge, this Chang'an has already changed hands, and it is difficult for the leaders of Yang Yu to be saved, let alone the Zongmiao Sheji. When doing extraordinary things, Yang Yu should be Fayao Chan Shun and hand over the country to the lord, so that he can still be a rich man. Otherwise, I am afraid that if I want to be a rich idler in the future, I will not be able to get it! Once the lord ascends the throne, those recalcitrant people have no hope, so what will happen if they don't return to the Li family? The world's heroes will inevitably respond in groups. Besides, even villains like Xue Ju can be called lonely, does the lord have to condescend to the erection? ”

Li Jiancheng nodded frequently, indicating that he completely agreed with Liu Wenjing's words. In fact, he also knew that his father had never intended to abide by the agreement between Li Shimin and Wei Xuan from the beginning, let alone let Yang Yu always be a puppet emperor. What is the matter with the rebellion of the family? Not for this imperial throne? Let this child stay for one more day, it will be difficult for the father to sleep and eat. For his father, whether it was the Turkic wolf rider or the Wagang Jianrui, it was not as important as the imperial throne.

It's just that Li Yuan wants to maintain his benevolent reputation, so this matter can't be too ugly. Coercing women and children with a sword, Li Yuan would not do it openly, and besides, he had to take into account the thoughts of the old ministers of the Sui family, so he did not dare to act rashly for a while. Besides, even if Li Jiancheng contributed to this matter, when Xu Le came back in the future, Li Yuan would not be able to use this credit to protect himself, and what Liu Wenjing said would not help Xu Le in this matter.

Liu Wenjing shook his head and said, "Da Lang, please think about it, Xu Le is now in Jiangdu, whose hands is his life tied to?" If Yang Guang knew about the lord's proclamation of the emperor, how would he act with his temperament? What will happen to Xu Le's life then? ”

Li Jiancheng came to his senses at this time, Liu Wenjing actually killed two birds with one stone, not only allowing his father to achieve his wish, but also shooting a cold arrow in the air. Rao is Xu Le's skills are strong, no matter how clever his methods are, it is impossible to be wary of this method. Scribes kill people with stratagem, but they are not comparable to military generals, and they are not much worse by their wits alone.

As long as Xu Le died in Jiangdu, there would be no evidence for the matter of Parrot Island, and even if Li Shimin found out any news, he would not be able to ask himself for the crime. Not only can you pass this level, but you can also make a great contribution in front of your father! He was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "How should I act so that Yang Yu'er can understand current affairs?" I hope Zhaoren will teach me! ”

Liu Wenjing smiled: "What's so difficult about this? The person he relies on is Wei Xuan, Wei Gong is too old to be capable, how long can he protect him? As long as Wei Gong understands the stakes in this, he will enter the palace to persuade him, and he is not afraid that the child will not hand over the seal! ”

"But Wei Xuan had an appointment with Erlang that day, and this person is not an idle person, so he is afraid of ......"

"What does Erlang's covenant have to do with me? Besides, this is a major event related to the foundation of the Li family, even if Erlang knows, he should worry about the main public, and he will not help outsiders. Don't worry, this matter is on me! ”
