Chapter 331
Not long after, Li Wenyuan received this reply letter from Xue Ju, and after reading the letter word for word from beginning to end, a burst of anger rose in Li Wenyuan's heart, and he laughed out loud in anger. At the same time, he secretly scolded Xue Ju as a hypocrite in his heart, if he really wanted to tear up the alliance agreement signed with Li Wenyuan before, he could say it bluntly, and Li Wenyuan also respected him Xue Ju as a man. For Li Wenyuan, his strength has long been enough to protect himself, and he doesn't care much about losing Xue Ju, an ally, to say that when he expands externally in the future, he may have to take care of some of his rear. On the contrary, after Xue Ju lost Li Wenyuan, he would have nearly twice as many national borders that needed to be defended for no reason. Therefore, this alliance relationship is actually not very important in Li Wenyuan's eyes, if the two sides are well, they will naturally be happy, but Xue Ju tore up the agreement, and Li Wenyuan didn't mind meeting him in arms.
After reading Xue Ju's reply, Li Wenyuan thought about it for a long time, and then picked up his pen and replied to Xue Ju with a complicated feeling. This time, Li Wenyuan did not use any diplomatic rhetoric. At this time, the use of diplomatic seasons was just a chance to change the topic for Xue Ju. In this reply, Li Wenyuan directly asked Xue Ju whether he was sure that he wanted to end the cooperative relationship between the two sides and turn it into a competing diplomatic relationship.
Xue Ju was silent for a while after receiving this letter, and he also knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to change the topic this time. As the head of a faction, Li Wenyuan asked this topic so bluntly, and he never thought of leaving an opportunity for Xue Ju to change the topic. What's more, as for Li Wenyuan's attitude, Xue Ju had a fixed number in his heart early on, but he didn't say it clearly for various reasons. At this time, since the two sides have already talked about it in a hurry, they will directly push the boat down the river and formally put forward their views.
Although Xue Ju had already made up his mind to make it clear to Li Wenyuan, he did not immediately reply to Li Wenyuan's letter. Xue Ju was not afraid to meet Li Wenyuan's troops, although Xue Ju knew in his heart that if his army confronted Li Wenyuan's army, there was almost no chance of victory. But Xue Ju was born as a military general after all, although he was pampered by the emperor for many years, he still had the blood of a soldier in his bones. For his own judgment, he only holds about seven points of trust, and as for the remaining three points, he still has to meet on the battlefield to make the most correct assessment. For Xue Ju, he very much hoped that his army could fight Li Wenyuan's army on the border.
But Xue Ju was now doing his best to delay time. That is, delaying the time to turn his face with Li Wenyuan. His purpose is not for the peace of the people, although in order to prevent his brother from sending his second son to Li Wenyuan as an official, but after all, he is his own son, and he can't ignore it. If he rashly turned his face with Li Wenyuan, in case Li Wenyuan took his second son in his hands as a hostage, wouldn't he lose more than he gained? The relationship between him and Li Wenyuan is now in jeopardy, and his reply is like a dagger, once the two sides make a move, it will be a situation of endless death, and it is absolutely impossible to stop halfway. Therefore, for the sake of the personal safety of his second son Xue Renyue, Xue Ju first delayed his reply to Li Wenyuan, and at the same time sent someone to bring a message to Xue Renyue, telling him all the causes and consequences of the incident, and asking Xue Renyue to leave immediately and rush back to Jincheng under his command as soon as possible, so as to get out of Li Wenyuan's control over him, so as not to throw himself into a trap at that time.
After receiving this message, Xue Renyue refused his father's request without the slightest hesitation. He has been by Li Wenyuan's side since he was very young, but Li Wenyuan did not ignore him because he was Xue Ju's son, nor did he deliberately raise him. On the contrary, he did his best to provide Xue Renyue with various resources, as if he treated Xue Renyue as his own son. In addition to these, it is just said that Xue Renyue served under Li Wenyuan after he became the governor of Central Asia, and it took a long time. After a lot of experience, the vision is naturally not comparable to those who are trapped in the Central Plains and only fight for that little bit of power in the Central Plains.
Xue Renyue knows more and more about Li Wenyuan's plan than others, and if the grand blueprint in Li Wenyuan's heart is known to those old foxes who have been immersed in the power field for many years, they will definitely scoff at it, and even laugh at Li Wenyuan for not knowing the height of the sky. But such a grand blueprint is very attractive to young people like Xue Renyue. The kind of hot-blooded Changhong who opened up the territory and expanded the territory for the country and fought the surrender of all the people is enough to stir the hearts of these milky hairy people. In all fairness, in Xue Renyue's eyes, Li Wenyuan's vision is much higher than that of his father Xue Ju, and following Li Wenyuan's side is far more promising than following his father's side, so he refused his father's request without the slightest hesitation.
At the same time, the message brought by this person sent by Xue Ju made Xue Renyue a little restless. He knew that the position he was sitting in was a fat gap, and he also knew how important the Central Asian region was in Li Wenyuan's future planning. It can be said that the stability of Central Asia will directly determine whether Li Wenyuan can smoothly continue to expand westward in the future. Li Wenyuan's ability to entrust such an important matter to Xue Renyue is enough to prove that Xue Renle's status in Li Wenyuan's heart can be seen. Xue Renyue has been in the officialdom for so long, so he naturally has already figured out these things. For Li Wenyuan's trust in himself so much, Xue Renyue had no way to reciprocate, but to do his duty faithfully and conscientiously for Li Wenyuan to hold down the stability of the Central Asian region further west of the Western Regions, so that Li Wenyuan could expand outward with peace of mind and would not be disturbed by the Central Asian region.
But the arrival of this person still made Xue Renyue feel an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart, there is no impermeable wall in the world, he also knows something about military owls and night owls, and when integrating Central Asia and appeasing the contradictions between immigrants and aborigines, these military owls and night owls often cooperate with Xue Renyue, and even the Central Asian region can settle down so quickly, and military owls and night owls have contributed a lot. If you talk about which outsider in this world knows the most about the military owl and the night owl, then in addition to the prisoners who have been interrogated by these two intelligence systems, it should be Xue Renyue.
