Chapter 610: Big Things Turned into Small Things

Murong Ke and the others thought about coming and going, and after discussing for a long time, they finally decided to bow their heads for the time being. After all, endure the calm for a while and buy yourself time to recover for the time being. After all, those who have achieved great things are not informal, and as long as they can get it back in the future, there will be nothing.

Especially with the urgent official documents coming from various places from time to time, the entire Taihang front line is already full of beacons. Under this situation, the Yan Imperial Court could not afford to think too much.

In the end, Murong Ke and others promised to compensate some of the money and treasures, and called off the army for a truce, admitting their mistake in provoking the war this time. In exchange for Datang's strike, he retreated to the previous line of defense.

But this is their idea, what they are most worried about is whether Li Xin will simply take advantage of this excuse to take the opportunity to attack and destroy the Yan Kingdom. Therefore, he also specially sent a messenger to Chang'an, and while apologetic to Li Xin, he confessed his mistake and said that he was at stake.

In short, to the effect that Yan Guo is willing to admit his mistake, it is better for Datang to accept it when it is good. Otherwise, if you really want to destroy the Yan Kingdom, everyone will be killed by the net, and no one will be able to please you.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Xin agreed to Yan Guo's mistake this time. Subsequently, Li Xin ordered the soldiers and horses on the front line of Taihang to withdraw. Seeing this, Yan Guo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the two sides returned to a peaceful state again.

In Chang'an City, in the palace, after sending away the envoy of Yan State, Tian He and others should pay a visit to him.

"Your Highness, this time is a good time to send troops to the Yan Kingdom, why did you let it go lightly?" Tian He was a little puzzled and asked.

According to his thoughts, even if he didn't completely destroy Yan Guo, he would have to suppress a few counties and counties, and bite a piece of meat from Yan Guo.

"Do you think that with our current strength, we can really destroy the Yan Kingdom in one fell swoop? Even if we can do it, how much will we lose in the end? For the long term, it can be endured for a while! Li Xin said lightly.

"Yes! Although the Yan Kingdom has been weakened a lot over the years, it occupies the Central Plains, and there are more loyal ministers such as Murong Ke and Murong Chui, and there are many generals. It is indeed not easy to eliminate it in one fell swoop! Tian He nodded, quite agreeing with this.

"That's why this time it's over! However, the lesson of this time could not be forgotten, so the military department ordered Shao Zisong and Yao Chang and other generals to reprimand and order them to introspect! Guards everywhere must take this as a warning! By the way, the money compensated by Yan Guo this time will be given to the soldiers who died in battle, especially the families of the soldiers who died in the fire in the valley! This hatred, let's remember it for the time being! Li Xin sighed, and then commanded.

"The minister understands, and then he will deal with this matter!" Tian He bowed and said.

On the Tang side, with the issuance of the military order, the matter calmed down. On the side of Yan Kingdom, Murong Chui, who returned in defeat, was soon recalled to Yecheng by Murong Ke.

"This king asked you to go to Yanjun and other places to preside over the defense, not to let you cause trouble for the imperial court! Don't you know what the state is like today? Are you doing this because you want to kill me? Murong Ke looked at him and scolded.

Murong Ke is Murong Chui's elder brother, and his official position is also higher than him. In public and private, if he wanted to scold Murong Trai, Murong Trai would have to accept it honestly.

After hearing this at this time, he could only say helplessly: "How can I mean this!" I just didn't expect that this time things would end up like this. It was a good plan, but in the end, it was in vain, but it also affected the court, and I regret it! ”

"I know that you want to solve the threat for the imperial court, and after taking the county seat of Guangchang, you can ease the situation in the north, which is beneficial to me, but you can do it~ It's a little too impulsive. Are you the Tang Army's Jiangzuo soldiers and horses, or those miscellaneous hus who are nomadic in Saibei? They are brave men who have experienced a hundred battles, and the generals are also good generals, how can it be so easy for you to defeat them with just one strategy! If it was so easy, we wouldn't have been defeated by them several times before! Hearing this, Murong Ke sighed, as if he was a little disappointed in him.

"I was careless! Now that the matter is over, after I go back, I will train my soldiers and stick to the defensive line, and I will not take the initiative to attack without the order of the imperial court! Murong replied.

"It's good to know! As long as you take charge of the northern defense line and block the Tang Army to the west of Taihang Mountain, it will be a great credit! Go ahead! Murong Ke glanced at him, and finally waved his hand and let him leave.

Not long after Murong Chui left, Feng Yi and Yang Lu came over.

"What, you've talked to King Wu?" Feng Yi asked.

"Everything that needs to be said has already been said, presumably, after this lesson, he should not be careless anymore. He was originally a smart person, but in the face of the Tang Army, he was too strong in his desire to win, so he would do ~ something impulsive. If you remove this, it will be a general of the auxiliary country and the country! Murong Ke nodded.

Murong Ke has high hopes for his half-brother, and if it weren't for his strong advocacy, Murong Ke would have been transferred to an idle post long ago.

After all, the previous emperor Murong Jun hated him, and the current emperor Murong Wei had no affection for him, not to mention that the Empress Dowager was disgusted with him.

"That's it! At this point, the matter finally settled down. As long as it takes a few more years for our national strength to recover, we will no longer have to tolerate Datang like this time! Feng Yi nodded, seemingly relaxed.

"Having said that, I think this time Li Xin's approach is unusual. He didn't take advantage of the problem to play and attacked us in a big way. It's definitely not because we threaten him with a few words, I'm afraid there is something bigger hidden in it! Yang Lu thought for a while, and then wondered.

"The tiger is not invincible, let alone our Dayan! If I were Li Xin, I wouldn't have chosen to start a big war at this time, after all, I really didn't have any certainty about that. Once the war is stalemate, Datang will also fall into the quagmire. At that time, many people may jump out, with Li Xin's character, it is impossible not to think of this! Murong Ke didn't seem surprised at all.

"Dazai's words are reasonable! Li Xin's temporary concession is probably for the greater benefit in the future, but we still can't take it lightly! Datang is now in a big trend, and its national strength surpasses our Dayan, but it is not enough to wipe us out in one fell swoop. If it is as expected, when the national strength of Datang rises to a higher level and forms a comprehensive advantage over us, it will be the beginning of the war between the two countries to destroy the country! Feng Yi nodded, and seemed to have the same opinion.

"If that's the case, we'll have to guard against it. Nowadays, all things in the country are complicated, the people are poor, and the national strength is poor. We must take advantage of this rare period of stability to strengthen our national strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will definitely not be able to resist the large-scale attack of the Tang army! Yang Lut suggested.

"It is precisely for this reason that this king will choose to compensate and sue for peace! The most important thing now is time, for us, and for Li Xin. The longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for us, but we don't know how long it will take Li Xin's side. Therefore, I hope that the princes of the imperial court will do their best to make my Dayan strong and prosperous as soon as possible! Murong Ke looked at the two of them, as if he meant to be respectful.

"Dazai-sama is serious, since we are Yanchen, we should devote ourselves to state affairs, Dazai doesn't need to say much!" Feng Yi and Yang Lu hurriedly bowed.

In the end, under a certain tacit understanding between the two countries, the Changshanguan incident chose the practice of turning big things into small things and small things into nothing. But obviously, this is only a superficial situation, and what is really going on underneath is still unknown.

In Guangchang County, Shao Zisong came back from Changshan Pass. The ashes of those soldiers who died in the war have been collected, and then they will be sent back to their hometowns for burial by special personnel sent by the Ministry of War.

"Go in peace! Soon after, we will avenge your vengeance! When Shao Zisong sent these people away, he said silently in his heart.

In July, another big thing happened in the Yan Kingdom, and Murong You, the king of Fanyang, was assassinated by Liu Ba, who joined the army.

This incident caused a lot of shock to the Yan Imperial Court, because many people wondered if the Tang Dynasty had bought Liu Ba to do this.

The princes in other places also became nervous, and many of them began to strengthen their guards. Especially the princes who led the troops to confront the Tang army, they were always worried about whether they would follow in Murong You's footsteps.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Datang, but in today's atmosphere, it is inevitable that people will think of it together.

Yan Guo, who had just experienced a round of fear, was once again overshadowed by this incident. And this also made Murong Ke realize something, so he sent someone to secretly recall Murong Ke again.

But this time their meeting was very secret, and no one was present except for the two people involved. But obviously, it must be an important thing to be able to make them so careful.

The spies of the Ministry Division only found that Murong Chui had quietly returned to Yecheng, and they didn't know what he was doing when he went back. In this way, after Li Xin knew about it, he couldn't make any response, he could only wait and see what happened.

In this way, time went round and round to the end of the year, and a year passed quietly. Except for the soldiers and horses that were moved once in the middle, basically the whole world is quite peaceful.

In December, there was a solar eclipse, which frightened the people. After all, this is not a good sign to everyone!

Even Si Tianjian also played for this, making it serious, and some ministers directly admonished, saying that this was because Li Xin did not appoint a crown prince, so God warned him.

However, the solar eclipse is very common in Li Xin's opinion, so he didn't take it seriously at all.
