Rao is Li Jiancheng is usually gentle and elegant, but he was still angered by Li Xuanba, who was pretending to be stupid, and his words began to carry a bit of threat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Xuanba looked at Li Jiancheng's eyes and read what Li Jiancheng wanted to express: If you withdraw from Jiangling City, everyone will still be brothers in the future, otherwise, don't blame yourself for not talking about brotherhood.

"If Xuanba retreats from Jiangling City today, and the Tang Dynasty army is under the Jiangdu City in the future, will Xuanba also abandon Jiangdu?" Li Xuanba raised his eyebrows and said: "Since the eldest brother is no longer beating around the bush, then Xuanba will also say it bluntly, will you retreat today?" There was also a menacing tone in his tone.

"Jiangling has become an isolated city, facing an army of 100,000, Xuanba, are you really sure that you can defend it?" Since becoming the crown prince, no one has dared to speak to Li Jiancheng in this tone, he frowned, and said in a cold voice: "Jiangling is not Luoyang, and the Tang Army is not a rabble under Yang Xuangan back then!" It means that Li Xuanba should not expect one person and one horse to defend Jiangling.

"In the first battle of Guanxian, Xuanba only had 2,000 soldiers in his hands, and Li Xiaogong led tens of thousands of people to attack the city, what was the result?" Li Xuanba smiled faintly and said: "Xuanba persuaded the eldest brother to withdraw from the army, but it was for the good of the eldest brother, and I hope that the eldest brother will not live up to Xuanba's kindness." ”

The east was white, the fog gradually dissipated, and in Li Jiancheng's eyes, Li Xuanba's appearance gradually became clear.

"If the eldest brother insists on attacking Gangneung City, what should you do?" Li Jiancheng didn't understand where Li Xuanba's confidence came from, he was silent for a moment, and said: "Big brother came here to meet you, not because he was afraid of you, but because he didn't want his brothers to kill each other!" ”

"Big brother doesn't want to kill each other, why shouldn't Xuanba?" Li Xuanba glanced back at Jiangling City, and said calmly: "Jiangling City has been replaced with the banner of the Great Sui, and the imperial court has the obligation to protect the safety of the people of Jiangling City. ”

Jiangling can become the capital of Daliang, it has its own advantages, maybe it is not as difficult to attack as Chang'an and Luoyang, but no one dares to say that it will enter Jiangling City within seven days.

Li Jiancheng was silent, and Li Xuanba continued: "There are nearly 20,000 soldiers in Jiangling City who can defend the city, plus the 5,000 Southern Sui troops brought by Xuanba, there are 25,000 soldiers defending the city. ”

"The grain and grass in the city will be exhausted, and if the palace continues to besiege and not attack, at most two months, the city will be starved to death!" Li Jiancheng sneered: "Or are you going to lead the army to fight to the death with my Tang army?" ”

"Big brother, do you really want to know the hole cards in Xuanba's hand?" Li Xuanba said with a smile. He knew very well that the reason why Li Jiancheng was willing to chat with him for so long was just to find out whether Li Xuanba was playing tricks or really relying on him.

Li Jiancheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, and his face still remained calm: "Since you followed Yang Tong to Jiangdu, you have always acted vigorously and resolutely, and since you are willing to talk to this palace for so long today, you can't allow this palace not to doubt." ”

"I see." Li Xuanba came to his senses: "Don't hide it from the eldest brother, if Xuanba wants to fight you to the death, there will not be only 5,000 Southern Sui soldiers who come to Jiangling." Xuanba has always believed that he can persuade his eldest brother to withdraw from the army, as for the five thousand Southern Sui soldiers, it was just to prevent accidents, and now it seems that accidents have appeared. ”

Li Xuanba's words are obscure, and although Li Jiancheng is extremely smart, he still doesn't know the point. So he frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean by accident?" Why do you firmly believe that this palace will retreat? ”

Although Li Jiancheng is the crown prince, he is always facing the threat of the King of Qin, so he has always been cautious in his actions, no matter whether Li Xuanba really has a hole card or not, he must take it seriously, otherwise a misstep will become a hatred for the ages!

Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Li Xuanba did not rush to answer, but motioned to Li Jiancheng to wait for a while, and then took off two futons from the horse, one was placed under him, and the other was thrown in front of Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng looked at the futon in front of him for a while, smiled bitterly, and sat down.

"As the eldest brother said, Jiangling City is short of food and grass, and the Tang army wants to capture Jiangling, the best strategy should be to besiege but not attack, but the eldest brother now wants to storm Jiangling City, if Xuanba is not mistaken, the eldest brother should have a last resort." After Li Xuanba sat down, he first talked eloquently, and then said with deep meaning: "Xuanba heard that Daqin has died. ”

Li Jiancheng's pupils shrank and his face changed slightly, he didn't expect Li Xuanba's insight to be so keen.

Li Xuanba couldn't see the change in Li Jiancheng's expression, and continued: "If the eldest brother insists on attacking Jiangling, Xuanba only needs to hold Jiangling City for seven days, and more than 100,000 Southern Sui troops will appear behind the Tang army, and it is difficult to say whether the eldest brother can return to Chang'an City alive, even if the eldest brother can go back alive, I am afraid that the position of the crown prince will become unstable." ”

"That's your hole card?" Li Jiancheng's face became even more ugly, and he stared at Li Xuanba on the other side tightly, feeling a trace of fear, because he knew that what Li Xuanba said was not impossible: "Since you have already planned, why don't you take the opportunity to weaken the forces of the Tang Dynasty, but tell the palace?" ”

"If the eldest brother loses power, the person who gains power is naturally the second brother, and it just so happens that Xuanba has some festivals with him, so he doesn't plan to compete with the snipe and mussels, so that the fisherman will benefit." Li Xuanba sneered: "Xuanba has not forgotten the affairs of Guanxian, and the eldest brother must still remember the affairs of Hedong, right?" There is one more thing, the eldest brother may not be clear, but Xuanba has already understood the truth of the matter, and naturally it is impossible for him to live happily. ”

Although Li Jiancheng and Li Xuanba are now enemies, hearing Li Xuanba's words, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but be curious: "What is that thing you are talking about?" ”

"Xuanba raised a hammer to scold the sky at the beginning, and the responsibility is not on you, because it was the second brother's person who instigated Xuanba to do that." Li Xuanba said hatefully: "Xuanba has forgotten the past, but Xuanba knows that Xuanba had the best relationship with his second brother in the past, but I didn't expect that the person who wanted to harm me in the end was him." ”

"You're saying that he started what happened back then?" Li Jiancheng's expression changed and changed, revealing a look of shock, and then he was puzzled: "How did you know?" Is it trying to sow discord? ”

"The relationship between the eldest brother and him, do you still need Xuanba to provoke it?" Li Xuanba laughed loudly and said: "There is a strategist next to the second brother, named Changsun Wuji, who is the elder brother of Princess Qin. ”

"If Bengong didn't guess wrong, the eldest grandson Wuji you said should be Li Zhu, right?" Li Jiancheng thought for a moment, believed Li Xuanba's words, and said, "Where is he at this time?" ”

"The plan to kill Xuanba was planned by him and his second brother, how could Xuanba still let him live?" Li Xuanba said lightly: "When the eldest brother returns to Chang'an, you can tell the second brother that the eldest grandson Wuji has been chopped into meat sauce by Xuanba and thrown into the river to feed the fish."
