In the face of the menacing Tang Dynasty, Xiao Mo knew that he was invincible, and surrendering to the Southern Sui became a helpless and imperative move. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike Shen Faxing, Xiao Mo did not consider his own interests, which is a very respectable thing in Li Xuanba's view.

The Tiande Hall was empty, Xiao Mo bowed to Li Xuanba, Li Xuanba bowed in return, and the eldest grandson Wuji stood beside Li Xuanba, and also bent his body.

"Previously, Xuanba deliberately delayed entering the city for two days, which is really the heart of a villain, and I hope Emperor Liang will forgive me." Li Xuanba sincerely apologized: "As Mr. Li said, my father guarantees that as long as the Southern Sui does not die, the people of Jiangling and other counties will not be displaced!" ”

"With Mr. Li by your side, it is not strange to delay for two days." Xiao Mo smiled disapprerovingly and said, "Don't hide it from Lord Zhou Guogong, if you enter the city two days in advance, even if you return to the imperial court, you will inevitably be unwilling." After a pause, he continued: "But now, I don't want to be there. ”

Li Xuanba discussed with the eldest grandson Wuji and decided to postpone entering the city for two days, firstly, in the hope that the situation of Jiangling City would be more difficult, which would better reflect their timely delivery of charcoal in the snow; Moreover, Li Xuanba also wanted to use this to tell Xiao Mo that he really had no other reinforcements except for Nan Sui.

"With all due respect, although the Tang Army besieged Jiangling City, there was no turmoil in the city, how could Jiangling Palace be so desolate?" Li Xuanba said softly, for fear of irritating Xiao Miao: "This day is already cold, and there is not even a palace person in the Tiande Hall who makes a fire." ”

"The country is dying, this is the sin of milling, and the whole country is surrendering, so naturally it should be milled alone." Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment, then bowed down and replied: "Please forgive Lord Zhou Guogong, Milling really can't bear to let the civil and military officials and the people of Daliang suffer the pain of losing the country, but Milling guarantees that no one in Daliang will ever resist the imperial court." ”

"The imperial court does not need anyone's guarantee, if anyone dares to violate the laws of the Great Sui, its own government will bring them to justice." Li Xuanba shook his head slightly, and arched his hand: "Since Emperor Liang is willing to submit to the imperial court, there will be no more people of Great Liang in the world, Xuanba wants to make an agreement with you in three chapters, if there is someone you know who violates the law of the Great Sui, please don't intercede for him." ”

"That's nature." Xiao Mo nodded without hesitation and said: "Milling has already decided to surrender, there is no Liang Zi people in the world, and there is no Liang Emperor, and Lord Zhou Guogong is not afraid to call the name of Milling." ”

"If the imperial court does not issue a document for a day, you are still the emperor of Daliang." Li Xuanba waved his hand, signaling that he would not discuss this topic for the time being, and then continued: "Since you are the emperor of Daliang, naturally there will be people who are willing to follow you, for the sake of stability, it is impossible for the imperial court to let you continue to live in Jiangling City. ”

"After the Tang Dynasty retreated, he was willing to go to Jiangdu with Lord Zhou Guogong." The expression on Xiao Miao's face did not change in the slightest, as if the conditions proposed by Li Xuanba were a matter of course.

However, what Li Xuanba said is indeed very reasonable, although Jiangling City was besieged by the Tang army, but the foundation of the Great Liang still exists, if the Tang Dynasty retreats, Xiao Mo flees back to the south, it is really possible to revive the national prestige. When the time came, Nan Sui not only gained nothing, but turned against the Tang Dynasty and set himself on fire.

"At this point, Xuanba won't bother Emperor Liang." Li Xuanba secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You and Mr. Li are old acquaintances, you might as well stay in the palace to catch up on the old days, Xuanba still has some things to do, so he will stay soon." ”

"What does Childe want?" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he hurriedly spoke: "If the prince wants to introduce the soldiers of the Southern Sui into the city, he might as well ask Emperor Liang for an edict to avoid more trouble." ”

"Mr. Li didn't say it, but Xuanba forgot about it." Li Xuanba smiled wryly: "Emperor Liang, I don't know if the Southern Sui army has entered the city, can you rest assured?" ”

"Milling has already passed the order to General Zhu, and obey the orders of Lord Zhou Guogong in everything." Xiao Mo replied: "General Zhu should be waiting outside the palace, Lord Zhou Guogong can go directly to him, the Southern Sui army entered the city to protect my Jiangling people, it is too late to be grateful, how can you not be at ease?" ”

......

The cold wind was bleak, and the Tang army naturally would not always line up outside the city, and the Southern Sui army took advantage of the night to quietly enter Jiangling City, their movements were very light, but they still did not hide from the eyes of the Tang scouts.

Knowing that a large army had entered the city, Li Jiancheng inexplicably had a bad premonition, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he ordered overnight to storm Jiangling City on the second day.

Li Xuanba knew that Xiao Mill had no way to retreat, and Li Jiancheng also knew, even better than Li Xuanba, because it was he who sent a large army to block the reinforcements of Daliang, and the reason why he did not forcibly attack the city was to wait for Xiao Milling to run out of grain and grass and take the initiative to surrender the city.

"Good news came from the north, Shimin led the army to capture Tianshui City, and captured Xue Rengao alive, and Daqin has perished." After giving several orders in a row, Li Jiancheng was a little tired, he poured the warm wine on the charcoal stove into the cup, frowned and said: "According to his temperament, after the triumph of Chang'an, he will definitely ask the edict to help the palace, so the palace must take Jiangling City in advance!" ”

"When Xue Ju died of illness, Daqin was already dead." Wei Ting heard the news for the first time, but he was not surprised at all, he said lightly: "Xue Rengao is brutal and immoral, and has a murderous nature, and if he inherits the throne, Daqin will naturally not be able to last for half a year." ”

"The palace doesn't care about Daqin's affairs." Li Jiancheng took a sip of wine, felt his body warmer, and his brows also stretched: "Most of the civil and military officials who followed his father from Taiyuan to raise troops were friendly with the people, and the palace originally thought that Li Xiaogong died in Guanxian County, and the people of the world suffered heavy losses in attacking Daqin, which would make his status decline, but he didn't expect Liu Hongji to take over the defeat, and the people were not only not punished, but because they interceded for Liu Hongji, they were valued by more people, and now, the palace should have to guard against it!" ”

"Alas, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Qi messing around and losing Taiyuan, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have these troubles?" Wei Ting let out a long sigh and shook his head and said.

Li Yuanji was able to stay in Taiyuan, Li Jiancheng played a great role, but Li Yuanji was not angry and gave Taiyuan to the Turks, Li Jiancheng was angry, but there was no way, after all, Li Yuanji's identity was there. As long as Li Yuanji is alive, it will be of great help to him to compete with Li Shimin in the future.

Seeing that Li Jiancheng was silent, Wei Ting pondered for a moment, and arched his hand: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry, no matter how powerful the King of Qin is, after all, he is only the King of Qin, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not make mistakes, His Majesty will still pass on the throne to you in the future, at that time, in addition to rebellion, the King of Qin is not at the disposal of His Royal Highness?" ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he smiled slightly, he believed in Wei Ting's judgment very much, because he listened to Wei Ting's words, and he had been forbearance since he left Hedong, which won Li Yuan's favor. Coupled with the orderly order of the eldest and youngest, he successfully ascended to the position of the crown prince.

"Who can guarantee that he won't dare?" Li Jiancheng stood up, walked out of the big tent, stared at the direction of Jiangling City, and said: "If you want to ensure that nothing goes wrong, this palace must make some contributions to the Tang Dynasty!" (To be continued.) )
