Li Xiu has always felt that he is a very unprofessional person, although he is an official of the Tang Dynasty, but unless he is forced to do so, he would rather go home and take care of his children, but after seeing Tang Jian today, he found that there are more unprofessional guys in this world than himself, and Li Xiu heard Xu Jingzong say that Tang Jian usually does not leave his wine, even if he gets up in the morning, he has to drink a few glasses to improve his spirit.

In the face of such a drunkard, Li Xiu had no choice but to let Tang Jian's entourage help him into the carriage again, and send someone to arrange Tang Jian's residence, no matter what, let him sober up first.

Early the next morning, as soon as Li Xiu had breakfast, Tang Jian came to ask for a meeting in person, and as soon as he saw Li Xiu, he immediately apologized: "Yan Guogong atoned for his sins, yesterday the old man was greedy for a cup and misbehaved, and I hope Yan Guogong will not take it to heart!" ”

"Ju Guogong is polite, I heard the name of Guogong early in the next morning, but unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to see it, I saw Ju Guogong yesterday, only to find out that Guogong is really a free and casual person, it is really enviable!" Li Xiu also half-jokingly said at this time, Tang Jian is a reckless person, and there is no need to be too serious when dealing with this kind of person, a few jokes can get close to the relationship between the two.

Sure enough, hearing the joking tone in Li Xiu's words, Tang Jian also laughed, and then pointed at him and said: "Actually, I was drunk yesterday, and most of the reason is to blame on you!" ”

"Huh? How can you blame me? Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this.

"Hahahaha~, then I have to ask, the distilled liquor is made by a horse?" Seeing Li Xiu's puzzled appearance, Tang Jian immediately laughed and asked.

"Yes, but distilled liquor is mainly for the production of alcohol, and then sterilize the wounded, Ju Guogong, you won't use it as wine, right?" Li Xiu asked again at this time, because of the lack of food, the alcohol produced by the distillation workshop can only be used for military purposes, but there are the most alcoholics in the army, so there are often some people who drink alcohol as alcohol, and even a few stupid people don't know how to add water to the alcohol, so they directly drink the high degree of alcohol into their stomachs, which results in stomach bleeding and almost didn't drink to death.

"Hehe, that's not it, this time Your Majesty asked me to come to reward the three armies, and specially ordered a batch of distilled liquor to be made, among which there are a few jars of good wine that Your Majesty has kept privately for several years, let me reward Li Jing and Qin Qiong, but yesterday I finally couldn't help but taste it, and I got drunk this time!" Tang Jian licked his face and said, as if he didn't feel that it was a shame to drink secretly.

Li Xiu saw that Tang Jian's face was so thick-skinned, and he couldn't help but be speechless for a while, and then laughed again: "It's really my fault to say this, but although this wine is good, Ju Guogong still has to be restrained, after all, the wine hurts his body!" ”

"I've heard for a long time that the horse doesn't drink alcohol, and today I saw that it was the case, but you don't like to drink, and the natural experience will not taste the true taste of wine, for people like me, you can usually eat no meat, but you can't drink no wine!" Tang Jian smiled again when he heard Li Xiu's advice, but his tone of voice was very sincere, indicating that he might not be able to do without wine in his life.

One doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, and the other is addicted to alcohol, so from this point of view, Li Xiu and Tang Jian are really two completely opposite people, but the next conversation seemed very relaxed, because Li Xiu found that although Tang Jian was addicted to alcohol, his other hobbies were also very extensive, and he spoke funny, without the slightest shelf of an elder, and Tang Jian also found that Li Xiu was also very easy-going, without the talent and arrogance of young people, which made the conversation between the two of them very pleasant.

After chatting some gossip, Tang Jian brought the conversation to the point, and said with a solemn face at the moment: "Don Ma, the news over there in Chang'an is still a little inconvenient, I don't know where the current battle situation is going?" ”

"The current situation is very favorable to my Tang Dynasty, just a few days ago, Li Ji's army was defeated in Baidao, and finally the other party fled to the Tieshan area to collect the remnants, but now there are only tens of thousands of troops left, and there are not even 20,000 people who can really fight, so Jieli sent Zhizhi Sili as a messenger to our army to seek peace, I have just sent out this news, and it is estimated that it will take a while to reach Chang'an." Li Xiu also said with a solemn face at this time.

Whenever this time, Li Xiu is very nostalgic for the developed information network in later generations, if placed in the later generations, such news only needs a phone call, and can be transmitted back to Chang'an in a few seconds, but now it is necessary to send the news back to Chang'an with a fast horse, which also makes the news in the rear often very lagging behind, of course, sometimes you can also use the flying pigeon of the Fei Nu Division to send the message, but because the letter carried by the carrier pigeon is very small, the information that can be recorded on it is extremely limited.

"Since Jieli has been forced to this point, why didn't Li Jing directly send troops to take Jieli down?" Tang Jian asked with some confusion when he heard this, after all, for Datang, keeping Jieli would only become a scourge, either kill Jieli directly, or capture him, so that there would be no future troubles.

"Ju Guogong doesn't know, Jieli's position is very ingenious, after crossing the Iron Mountain, it is the boundless Mobei wasteland, but the conditions in Mobei are bad, especially when it is about to enter winter, so Jieli does not dare to break into Mobei for a while, but if we force it too quickly, maybe Jieli will take a risk, and it will be difficult to catch him then." Li Xiu patiently explained at this time.

"I see, I guess Li Jing must have pretended to agree to the peace talks, but he excused himself that he couldn't make the decision, so as to delay time, right?" Tang Jian squinted his eyes and smiled at this time, knowing the current stalemate from Li Xiu's words, he immediately guessed Li Jing's countermeasure.

"Ju Guogong guessed well, now the army can only take the opportunity to delay, so that Jieli will not risk escaping to Mobei, and then look for a suitable opportunity to seize Jieli in one fell swoop, but now Jieli is also very careful, so he has not been able to find an opportunity to attack for the time being!" Li Xiu also looked at Tang Jian with great admiration at this time and said, although this Ju Guogong is a drunkard, he is also a shrewd and capable person, otherwise Li Shimin would not have paid so much attention to him.

"In this way, the war has entered a stalemate!" Tang Jian stroked his beard and pondered at this time, as if he was thinking of a way to solve this deadlock.

"It's really a stalemate, but it's not impossible, for example, you can wait until the snow falls heavily and the road is blocked, and then it's too late for Jieli to escape, but I'm worried that Jieli won't wait until that day to flee directly to Mobei." Li Xiu also touched his chin at this time and said, he has been thinking about this matter these days, but there is really no good way.

"Instead of relying on God, we should rely on ourselves, I have a way, maybe we can take a risk!" Tang Jian suddenly raised his head and smiled at this time, and a confident expression appeared on his face.

"Oh? What's the solution? Li Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard Tang Jian's words, and he immediately asked.

"It's very simple, doesn't Jieli want to negotiate peace, then let's make peace with him, it just so happens that I also came, and I have also sent a Turkic envoy before, so I simply act as the messenger of this peace negotiation, personally go to Jieli to negotiate, and then sign a covenant, in this way, Jieli will definitely relax his vigilance, and when I come back, the army will immediately launch a surprise attack, and Jieli will definitely be captured in one fell swoop!" Tang Jian said his plan with blazing eyes at this time.

"This ...... We haven't gotten His Majesty's will, Ju Guogong, you just rushed to negotiate peace with the Turks, will you be blamed by Your Majesty in the future? And if Guogong and Jieli sign an alliance and then tear it up, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right? Li Xiu said very hesitantly when he heard this.

Although Li Xiu said so, in fact, he was very much in favor of Tang Jian's plan, because he was also a person who would do whatever it took to achieve his goals, as for any morality and covenant, all of them were fake, after all, the history books have always been written by the victors, so no matter how disgraceful the means, they can be easily erased in the future.

"Haha~, those who become big things are not informal, the mere covenant is just a piece of papyrus, at the beginning, the Turks and my Datang also agreed never to offend each other, but later when His Majesty ascended the throne, Jieli did not raise troops to the south, since the Turks can tear up the covenant, why can't I Datang, and I am not a real envoy, the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, Jieli himself did not see through my plan, and in the end he should naturally suffer the corresponding consequences!" Tang Jian laughed out loud and said with a look of indifference.

Li Xiu was originally unspeakable, but when he heard Tang Jian say this, he also slapped the table and said: "Okay, since Ju Guogong dares to take such a risk, he is also extremely admired, if there is anything that needs to be cooperated, please ask Ju Guogong to command!" ”

"The horse is polite, I am just doing my duty as a courtier, and I am worried that Li Jing's side will not be able to hold his breath, so I also asked the horse to send someone to inform Li Jing as soon as possible, and tell the other party my plan, so that they can cooperate, and Jieli will definitely be more relieved when he hears that the envoy of the peace talks is coming!" Tang Jian saw that Li Xiu agreed, and immediately ordered.

Li Xiu didn't dare to delay time when he heard this, and immediately found Ma Ye over, and this kind of thing to pass on the news was naturally indispensable to their Fei Nu Division, but after Ma Ye heard Tang Jian's plan, he immediately admired it very much, and decided to run it himself, after all, it is not safe to use flying pigeons to pass the book, and Dingxiang is only a few days away from Li Jing, and this plan must not be leaked out, so it is more secure for him to run it himself.

Without further ado, Ma Ye immediately left Dingxiang, and Li Xiu and Tang Jian also personally sent him away, but Tang Jian couldn't leave immediately, because Jieli had just proposed peace talks, and if Tang Jian appeared too early, it would definitely arouse Jieli's suspicions, so he could only stay in Dingxiang for a while, and it happened that Li Xiu also had to prepare a batch of grain and grass materials to be transported to the front line, and Tang Jian could leave with the transport team at that time.

However, what Li Xiu never expected was that just after Ma Ye left Dingxiang, a sudden change disrupted their plan, because it suddenly snowed.
