Chapter 329
Seeing the spy go away so arrogantly made the soldiers who were chasing him all the way to the border feel unspeakable and breathless, but there was nothing they could do, after all, further forward was Xue Ju's territory, and the relationship between Xue Ju and Li Wenyuan was still an alliance and an ally for now. A long time ago, the two sides made an agreement that Li Wenyuan's soldiers were not allowed to enter Xue Ju's territory without reason, and on the contrary, Xue Ju's soldiers were not allowed to enter Li Wenyuan's territory without reason. If any of the armies of either side enter the territory of the other side without permission, then the other side can annihilate or capture the forces first, and then negotiate a settlement through diplomatic channels.
However, the two sides are allies after all, and if any side has an army that needs to enter the territory of the other side to perform some tasks, it must apply in advance and report it layer by layer, and finally Li Wenyuan and Xue Ju will negotiate, and finally reply with a clear attitude of agreement or rejection to decide whether this army can enter the country. Because of the existence of these reasons, the soldiers who came to pursue this spy of Li Shimin stood at the border of the national border, watching this spy go away like this, and they also stared at him without a curse. I could only roughly note down the direction of the spy's escape, and sent the fast horse back to report the situation he encountered here to his superiors. Finally, the matter was reported to Li Wenyuan, and Li Wenyuan was asked to negotiate with Xue Ju to resolve the matter.
This extremely lengthy and complicated method of dealing with this is actually the most inefficient way to deal with it in ancient times when information exchange was inconvenient and in later generations when information exchange was very convenient, and it also shows that both sides actually have the idea of shirking this matter, and no one wants to really solve this problem. Therefore, Li Wenyuan's soldiers were stationed on the inner side of the national border, while waiting for the response from his superiors, and when he reported to his superiors, he especially emphasized that Xue Ju's troops stationed on the border turned a blind eye to this spy and did not prevent him from crossing the national border.
When Li Wenyuan learned of this, he was immediately furious. Everyone is an adult, and it is no longer the kind of time for children to talk and play, not to mention the existence of this agreement, and the forces between Xue Ju and Li Wenyuan can be regarded as allies. Since you are an ally, then it is natural that you should do your duty, even if you Xue Ju don't want to work and contribute to arrest the proof stall for yourself, but people have already sent it to your eyes, and you can capture him by sending someone to stop it, why did you just ignore him and let him cross the border and go deep into Xue Ju's hinterland?
However, after being annoyed for a while, Li Wenyuan also reacted. It is true that everyone is no longer a child, and has become a giant in each other. Now everyone has a big family, and it is no longer up to them to have the final say. Since Xue Ju let this spy cross the border so easily, then it must be Li Shimin's side who doesn't know when he contacted Xue Ju and gave Xue Ju some promises, or what deal the two sides reached.
After all, the two sides are now just an ally, and out of the obligation of the ally, at most, they will help the ally get through the difficulties without harming their own fundamental interests, but once they touch the bottom line that they can accept, any ally that is not an ally will be taken out as a substitute for the dead. This world has always been like this, the icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.
Seeing Xue Ju's attitude towards himself now, Li Wenyuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He used to naively think that his friendship with Xue Ju could withstand the involuntary self-help after they became representatives of interest groups, but as time went by, Xue Ju and Li Wenyuan's respective family backgrounds became more and more abundant, and there were more and more investors, and they began to become interests first and realistic when thinking about problems.
Thinking that Xue Ju was now gradually separating from himself, Li Wenyuan suddenly remembered Xue Renyue, who was far away in Central Asia. In any case, Xue Renyue is the son of Xue Ju, after Xue Ju became the emperor, the eldest son Xue Rengao naturally became the crown prince, and at this time he was leading his army to continue to fight in the east and west, expanding the territory for his father, and the second son Xue Renyue served under Li Wenyuan.
Those who didn't understand why Xue Ju sent his second son Xue Renyue to work under Li Wenyuan finally understood Xue Ju's good intentions. Let the eldest son, who has changed his name as the crown prince, follow him, and at the same time let him be his spokesman in the army and fight for himself on the battlefield. The other son is a civil official by his friend's side and works for his friend. In this way, even if one day Xue Ju's forces are forced into a desperate situation and their strength is exhausted, they will not end up with the tragic end of their descendants. At least there is Xue Renyue, who can continue his bloodline. And after sending Xue Renyue to Li Wenyuan's side, Xue Ju was left with only one son, Xue Rengao, and at the same time, he was his eldest son, so the position of prince was naturally handed over to Xue Rengao. In this way, by the way, he also avoided the intrigue between his two sons for the right to inherit the throne, so as not to end up with a fratricidal ending in the same room, which can be regarded as saving the lives of the two sons in disguise.
Thinking of Xue Renyue, Li Wenyuan couldn't help frowning. It stands to reason that for the sake of his son's life, Xue Ju should have notified Xue Renyue in advance before he separated from him, so that he could prepare in advance, at least in his heart. But the night owl has not relaxed his surveillance of Xue Renyue since the day he came, otherwise Li Wenyuan would not dare to hand over those important tasks to Xue Renyue to do. But so far, Xue Renyue's performance has always made Li Wenyuan unable to make mistakes. In his spare time, Xue Renyue also wrote letters to his father as usual, and what he mentioned in the letters was his recent situation and concern for his father and brother. told Xue Ju to take care of his body and not to work too hard, and also told his eldest brother Xue Rengao to be more cautious in front of the two armies. Other than that, there is no mention of anything related to his work, not even when or where he wrote the letter.
Once Xue Renyue entered his own work state, it was like a different person. will only think about the tasks he needs to complete, and never consider that he is Xue Ju's son, and his identity when he works is only a courtier under Li Wenyuan.
