Chapter 499: Counter-persuasion

Hearing Li Xin talk about this, Xi Chao knew that it was useless for him to say anything! As Li Xin said, with the heart of serving the country, and the ancestor who was born in the northern clan, could not be tolerated by the Jiangzuo court, how could the Huashan army, which was much stronger, be sincerely accepted. Of course, Duke Huan's intentions Li also know! Let's be honest! Over the years, the reason why I have maintained a good relationship with Jiang Zuo is actually because of Duke Huan. Nowadays, in the Jiangzuo court, there are many people who are known as talented and learned, but those who can serve the country and restore the mountains and rivers are only Huan Gong! If there is no Duke Huan, what is there in the Jiangzuo Imperial Court worthy of my attention? Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Li Xin said again.

Of course, these words are a bit deliberately raising Huan Wen's energy. In fact, there are still a lot of people in Jiang Zuo who are really talented and learned, and if others don't say it, at least Xie An and those people are definitely not mediocre.

"Huan Gong did his best to work for the country, and he was also impressed by him!" Xi Chao also said at this time.

"Duke Huan is the mainstay of Jiang Zuo, if he hadn't been there, Jiang Zuo would have been captured by the Yan army a long time ago. With Duke Huan's ability, with his background, he is still feared by the ministers of the court, and every time he goes out on the expedition, there are always people who are hindered in the back, and the incompetence of the court can be seen! If Li enters it, it will be like entering the abalone, and I am afraid that I will not smell its smell for a long time! ”

"The general's words are serious!" Hearing him describe the Jiangzuo Imperial Court like this, Xi Chao was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said.

After all, many people in his family are also officials in the court, and if this is the case, wouldn't he have scolded himself too!

"If Duke Huan can revitalize the imperial court, personally lead the royal division to restore the mountains and rivers, and rebuild the imperial court to eliminate the filthy atmosphere. When the time comes, it will be necessary to visit you in person to show your surrender, how about it? Of course, Li Xin did not say anything to death, but gave a promise.

"Is that true?" As soon as Xi Chao heard this, he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly asked.

"Naturally! In short, this time Brother Jingyu is probably going to return empty-handed! After you go back, tell Huan Gong the truth about what I said! Let him know that the failure of this trip is not your fault, but that I am determined! Li Xin nodded and said solemnly.

With Huan Wen's ability, if he wants to dominate the world and restore the Jin Dynasty, it is almost impossible. In addition to the fact that he himself does not have such a high talent, it is also because those people in Jiangzuo's court will definitely not be happy to see that his power is getting bigger and bigger.

Li Xin is also equivalent to drawing a big pie, let Huan Wen gnaw it slowly!

"The general can rest assured, after returning to Jiangling, he will definitely report the experience of this trip to Duke Huan according to the truth!" Xi Chao hurriedly bowed his hand.

"It's rare for Brother Jingyu to come here, so there is no need to rush to leave! Chang'an City is becoming more and more prosperous, you might as well take a good look in the city! Li Xin bowed his head slightly and said.

The conversation between the two is completely over at this point. Xi Chao, who came out of the General's Mansion, stopped outside the mansion gate for a while, and then walked towards his residence.

He came in a hurry this time, and he was already too tired to work. Now that the matter is over, there is no hurry to go back, just take a good rest. Therefore, after returning to the post house, I fell asleep directly!

I don't know how long I slept, Xi Chao faintly saw someone calling him, and woke up suddenly. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the attendants who followed me were constantly calling for themselves.

"What do you call me?" Xi Chao glanced outside, and at this time, the sun was hanging outside, so he asked.

"The general has sent someone to deliver a letter from Gangneung!" The attendant replied.

"Oh? Give it to me! Hearing this, Xi Chao suddenly sobered up and hurriedly sat up from the bed~

After receiving the letter handed over by his entourage, Xi Chao glanced at it a few times in a hurry, and his face couldn't help but show a look of horror.

"There is still such a thing! It seems that I still have to meet Li Hantang! After reading it, Xi Chao was stunned for a while, and then said to himself.

After that, he got up and dressed directly, and then went out and rushed in the direction of the General's Mansion.

In the General's Mansion, Li Xin was handling official business at this time, and when he heard the guard outside the door report that Xi Chao was here again, he couldn't help but be a little surprised! But he didn't say anything, but he was invited in at once, still in the side hall where he had been meeting before.

"Brother Jingyu only left yesterday, why did he come in a hurry? But is there anything that matters? After seeing Xi Chao, Li Xin couldn't help but say strangely.

"Exactly! After thinking about the previous things for a while, I felt that I should persuade the general that the matter of becoming the king might as well be dispelled! Or, like Liangzhou Zhang's generally, you can also do it! In short, it's better not to make it difficult for Huan Gong in this matter! Xi Chao said with a serious face.

"Oh? Why is Brother Jingyu so conclusive, it seems that if I don't agree, the Huashan Army will be wiped out! Seeing his solemn appearance, Li Xin couldn't help but smile.

"Don't hide it from the general, it's a catastrophe! Please also ask the general to carefully consider the matter of becoming the king, so as not to bring disaster to the Huashan army! Xi Chao replied with a straight face.

After hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but ponder. Since he said this, it is obvious that he will not run to joke with himself, nor will he run to scare himself. Li Xin still knows a lot about Xi Chao's character, he is not this kind of boring person.

If that's the case, then there's such a threat. And when it comes to threatening the life and death of the Huashan Army today, I am afraid that only Jiang Zuo and Yan Guo are the only ones.

But with any one of them, it is definitely not easy to completely wipe out the Huashan Army.

Thinking of this, Li Xin suddenly thought of something, and the thoughts in his heart turned sharply, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. Then, he said to Xi Chao with a smile: "Let me guess, Brother Jingyu said it so seriously, isn't it that Yan Guo sent someone to find Duke Huan, and he wants to destroy my Huashan army with him?" ”

Xi Chao, who originally thought that there was great hope of persuading Li Xin to change his mind this time, couldn't help but look at Li Xin in surprise after hearing this, and exclaimed: "How did the general know about this? Could it be that you have already received the message? ”

"In this way, is it true that Yan Guo sent someone to find Huan Gong to form an alliance and destroy my Huashan army together? It's just that I don't know what Huan Gong means? Seeing his expression, Li Xin knew that he had guessed correctly.

Originally, according to reason, Tu Qi's side should have known about it first. But the problem is that this matter is too important, and presumably only a few people in Yan Kingdom know about it. Therefore, even the spies of the Ministry of Labor did not inquire about the details.

When Xi Chao heard this, he knew that Li Xin should be just guessing. couldn't help but be even more surprised in his heart, he knew how powerful Li Xin was, but he didn't expect that the other party would be able to guess things out just by relying on a few words from himself.

"Li Hantang is really a god! I guessed the key so quickly, and it didn't seem to take it to heart at all, could it be that I didn't expect it? Xi Chao thought in his heart.

After a moment of silence, he replied: "The meaning of Duke Huan is to hope that the general will agree to the previous conditions, either give up being the king, or return to the court!" ”

"If I don't agree, will he agree to Yan Guo's conditions? I really want to know what Yan Guo used to convince Duke Huan and let him forget all the counties that were lost in Yan Guo's hands before! Li Xin said lightly.

"Alas, this time the general's claim to be the king touched not only the imperial court, but also the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom. In order to win over Duke Huan to deal with the Huashan army, they can be said to have paid a big price. On the condition of returning the Xuchang and other places they had captured before, as an alliance agreement, they hoped to jointly send troops against the Huashan army! Originally, these things should be confidential, but Huan Wen told Xi Chao about the matter, in fact, he hoped to use this to exert pressure. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Xi Chao saying it to Li Xin.

As for Li Xin's remarks that he did not agree with it after hearing this, and then strengthened his vigilance, there is basically not much difference between the actions of the two great forces uniting. So, from this point of view, there is no need to worry about the possibility of any leaks.

"Hehe, Murong Jun is really atmospheric! is actually willing to send out all the states and counties in hand, no wonder the Huan Guild is tempted! Such a handiwork, presumably it was the idea of the king of Taiyuan! Hearing that it was this condition, Li Xin did not doubt it at all.

Not to mention that Huan Wen may agree, even those people in the court, after hearing about this condition, I am afraid they will want to agree eagerly. Anyway, in their eyes, Huashan Jun has never been a friend, and if Li Xin is called king, he will become an enemy.

Therefore, in dealing with the Huashan army, they can be said to have no psychological burden.

"How can the general still laugh? This is the autumn of critical survival, so the general should hurry up and decide! Xi Chao saw him laughing, and couldn't help but say urgently.

"Brother Jingyu, don't worry! Although Yan Guo wants an alliance, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it! Since the Murong clan wants to do something to us, then I'm not welcome! Seeing his expression, Li Xin said with a smile.

"What does the general want?" Xi Chao was surprised.

"If I am the king, the court will want to be destroyed quickly, so what about the Murong clan being the emperor and attacking the imperial court and counties? Isn't it even more begging~ Brother Jingyu thinks, how about I join forces with Duke Huan and attack Yan Kingdom together? In this way, the states and counties that were taken away by Yan State last time are not the same, can they be taken back? Moreover, wouldn't it make the Yan Kingdom, which was already about the same strength as the imperial court, even stronger, wouldn't it be a good thing? Besides, even if our Huashan Army takes part of the territory of Yan Kingdom, it will only be another Yan Kingdom after all, and it will not be stronger than the strength of Yan Kingdom, let alone the imperial court! Li Xin looked at him and said slowly.
