Chapter 856 Scheme

Gaochang troops retreated, the city gate was lost and recovered, Li Ji and the guards and people of the entire Suzhou city were excited, on the night of repelling the Gaochang army, after arranging the city wall defense, Li Ji personally presided over the opening of an open-air celebration banquet, one for Gongsun Wude and His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and the other is to reward those who performed well in this battle.

The matter of receiving the wind is nothing more than some vulgar etiquette, and I don't mention it much.

When it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, the most dazzling thing is the white-clothed guard who came with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Xue Rengui. In this battle, if it weren't for Xue Rengui leading his troops to block the city gate in time, whether Suzhou City could be kept in the end was still between the two, so whether it was Li Ji or Gongsun Wude, they all coincidentally put the biggest credit in this battle on Xue Rengui's body, and after asking if he intended to join the army, he directly mentioned Xue Rengui to the same position as Gongsun Helan's deputy general, which can be described as a step in the sky.

Of course, Xue Rengui was able to win this honor, in addition to the fact that he really made a lot of contributions, and there were also Li Ji and Gongsun Wude who wanted to show favor to Li Zhi, the king of Jin.

The prince rebelled and missed the East Palace, King Wu had a gap in the bloodline of the previous dynasty, King Yue had no support and a lonely palm, and King Jiang regarded wealth as his life and had no ambition, counting and calculating, among all the princes under the emperor's knees, only the little highness in front of him, who had the support of the eldest grandson behind him, was most likely to take Li Chengqian's position and enter the East Palace.

For such a little prince who is most likely to inherit the unification, Li Ji and Gongsun Wude dare not slack off, after all, it is very likely that they will eat under Li Zhi's men in the future, and some face still has to be given.

The person was brought by His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and he has a good ability, plus Xue Rengui did show a big face today, so it is logical to be able to do this favor on him, and others can't find any reason.

What's more, now is the time to employ people in the army, and a brave and resourceful tiger general like Xue Rengui, no general is willing to push it out, and if he can take him under his command, it will add a little help.

Xue Rengui showed his face in front of the army, and was valued by Li Ji and Gongsun Wude, the two old generals, as Xue Rengui's introduction, Li Zhi's face naturally had a lot of brilliance, no matter how it was also recommended by the teacher, although he stayed in the Jin Wangfu for less than a day, but he was also branded with his Jin King lineage, Xue Rengui can have such a future, Li Zhi is naturally happy to see it.

"Why did you suddenly think of joining the army?" At the wine table, Gongsun Helan and Xue Rengui drank several glasses in a row, and Gongsun Helan asked Xue Rengui softly without changing his face: "Didn't you want to be a guard in Liufu before, how could you give it up?" ”

"I had a contract with the owner before, and I was able to protect Liufu for three years, so I can't be treacherous and run around at will." Carrying the pot and pouring a cup for Gongsun Helan, Xue Rengui said: "If it weren't for the owner this time, Brother Wei wouldn't have thought about coming out so quickly." ”

"Big brother, I don't want your ability to be buried," Gongsun Helan nodded quite understandingly and said: "Now that the war is happening, it is a good opportunity for us and other men to make contributions, how can a brave hero like Brother Xue miss it?" ”

"Brother Helan is serious, Rengui is just a horse's ear." Xue Rengui shook his head and pushed**.

"Brother is too modest." didn't want to dwell on this topic, Gongsun Helan changed his words and asked Xue Rengui one after another: "I don't know how my big brother Liu is now, is the family okay?" ”

"Everything in the house is worry-free, and the Helan brothers don't have to worry about it." After speaking, Xue Rengui was stunned and said, "It's that the owner said a month ago that he was going to go on a long trip, and I don't know if I can return to the house now." ”

"Oh, and," as he spoke, Xue Rengui reached into his arms, took out a bamboo letterhead and handed it to Gongsun Helan, and said, "This is entrusted by the owner to Brother Yu Xian before leaving, please check it out to see if there is anything important." ”

"Oh? Big brother's letters? Putting down the wine glass, Gongsun Helan took the letter box casually, and said softly to Xue Rengui with a smile on his face: "Big brother too, if you have anything to say directly for Brother Xue to relay, why do you have to write such a letter?" ”

"Huh?" When the letter was opened, Fang looked at the two lines, and Gongsun Helan's face changed, and the whole person instantly became much more cautious and nervous.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that the momentum was a little right, Xue Rengui also put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his head and asked Gongsun Helan: "But what happened?" ”

"Big brother, he's gone to Gaochang." After reading the letter in one breath, hearing Xue Rengui ask, Gongsun Helan glanced left and right, and saw that no one was looking at them here, so he said a word to Xue Rengui in a low voice.

"What?!" Xue Rengui's face couldn't help but change, and he also lowered his voice and asked Gongsun Helan: "What is he doing in Gaochang at this time?" It's the realm of Hou Junji, so he's not afraid ......? ”

"Could it be that the owner wants to cut off Hou Junji's important foot in Gaochang, or is it ......?" As if thinking of something, Xue Rengui raised his eyes to Gongsun Helan in surprise and disbelief, and whispered to ask for confirmation.

"The stakes are very high, the little brother has to go and give a return to the marshal!" While lamenting the boldness of the eldest brother in his heart, Gongsun Helan got up and confessed to Xue Rengui, and walked directly to the seat where Li Ji and Gongsun Wude were. Whether the things mentioned by the eldest brother in the letter can be completed in the end depends on whether the two marshals will effectively cooperate.

Gaochang National Capital, 'get drunk' on the third floor of the private room.

Liu Yiyi, Chu Yi, and Princess Jin Ye, who arrived later, would sit in front of the table, and the three of them ate the delicacies on the table unhurriedly, and then there was a sentence of gossip such as business and wine.

After three rounds of drinking, Koji Baobao put down the chopsticks, and first asked Liu Yiyi in a reluctant voice: "Mr. Liu's plan, Chu Yi had already mentioned it to the palace before he came, and now the most immediate problem is, if the palace really cuts off the military supplies of the front-line soldiers, how can Mr. Liu ensure that Hou Junji will not immediately lead the army back, and Ji'er will put the palace in danger?" ”

"You know, more than ninety percent of my soldiers in Gaochang are now under the control of Hou Junji," Koji Baobao continued: "If Hou Junji comes back with troops, those guards in the hands of this palace will not have the ability to fight against hundreds of thousands of troops." ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't need to bother with this question," Liu Yiyi shook his head disapprerovingly, and said confidently and confidently to Koji Baobao: "Before coming to your country, Liu Mouquan had already entrusted his confidant brother to secretly trust General Li Ji, the commander of the Northern Expedition, that as long as Hou Junji made a slight move, they would send troops to fight him. ”

"It doesn't matter if you win or lose," Liu Yiyi said indifferently: "But it can still be done by dragging Hou Junji and the 130,000 soldiers of your country." ”

"When the time comes, as long as Her Royal Highness the princess cuts off the supply to the front line," Liu Yiyi said eloquently: "Hou Junji is far away in Suzhou, there are chasing soldiers in front, and there is no food and grass in the back, even if he has great ability, it will be in vain." As long as Hou Junji falls and thinks about using His Highness's means, the so-called eldest prince and the third prince will not become a threat to His Highness, and His Highness's throne will be unbreakable. ”

"Say that," Koji Baobao raised his head and glanced at Liu Yichi, and said crisply: "But how can this palace distinguish the truth of Mr.'s words?" This palace can't put himself and all the subordinates who follow this palace in danger because of his husband's words, right? ”

"Before the matter is completed, Liu will not leave this store for half a step, and Liu will also fund three million yuan of silver to Her Royal Highness the princess as the cost of this action," looking up at the koji baby, Liu Yiyi said with a light smile: "I don't know if this can show Liu's sincerity and make Her Royal Highness the princess more confident?" ”

"Mr. Liu is so bold and courageous, I admire this palace!" Nodding lightly, the koji baby sincerely praised Liu Yiyi and two sentences.

"The matter in front of me has come to an end," Koji Baobao continued, "But after the matter is completed, Mr. Liu may guarantee that the Tang Emperor will no longer pursue my previous rebellion against Gaochangguo?" If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty intends to pursue it and insists on destroying my Gaochang, then this palace is working so hard now, wouldn't it all make wedding dresses for others? ”

"Your Highness is a little forward-looking, and it is also difficult for a strong man to talk about it like this." Liu Yiyi shook his head lightly, and said in his heart, I am not your nanny, why do you want me to come forward to solve everything? If I have that much ability, why should I sit here and fight with you?

"After the war is over, the rest belongs to the issue of diplomatic relations between the two countries," although there was dissatisfaction in his heart, Liu Yiyi still calmly said to Koji Baobao: "Whether you can obtain the understanding of the Tang Emperor and whether you can extinguish the anger in the heart of the Tang Emperor depends on the attitude and means of His Royal Highness." ”

"As for Liu," after speaking, Liu Yiyi glanced up at Koji Baobao and said, "Could it be that His Highness really thinks that I, Liu, have so great powers that I can affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries?" ”

"Huh?" was asked by Liu Yiyi like this, and the koji baby, who knew that he was wrong, couldn't help but blush, glanced at Liu Yiyi, and after snorting lightly, he said to Liu Yiyi again: "You are right!" ”

"Then what we discussed, is it so decided?" Seeing that the koji baby was no longer messing around, Liu Yiyi asked again.

"In three days, the palace will temporarily take charge of the government." After speaking, Koji Baobao got up and left his seat, and went straight out of the room, leaving this sentence, which can be regarded as giving Liu Yiyi an exact answer.

"Liu will also send all the funding as promised, and he will never miss the major events of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Liu Yiyi got up to send him off, and said loudly to the koji baby who had walked to the door: "Your Royal Highness the princess, go slowly!" ”
