Chapter 17 Causing Confusion in the Suspicious Array (Medium)
Seeing Tao Yao fleeing, Li Congjing felt that it should be unlikely that he would call her back again, so he called Mo Li and Du Qianshu over to discuss with them some things that needed to be discussed at this time.
told the two of them about the follow-up discovery of Yelu Min's assassination, including the details of Tao Yaoyao's suspicion that this matter was done by Ye Lu Bei, and Li Congjing said: "Because it is determined that the assassin was sent by Ye Lu Deguang, Ye Lu Min must hate Ye Lu Deguang very much at this time - maybe I was also affected by the pond fish, and Ye Lu Deguang will definitely send someone to connect with Ye Lu Min in order to be sure that Ye Lu Min will be on the same front as him at that time, I am afraid that the situation will be a little unoptimistic." ”
"The people sent by Yelu Deguang will run into a wall in Yelu Min, it is almost a certain thing, the time is too hasty, I am afraid that this matter will not be changed in time, calculate the time, and the people of Yelu Deguang should also go to the West Building." Du Qianshu pondered.
Mo Li agreed with Du Qianshu's analysis, but he was not as heavy as Du Qianshu, and shook his folding fan and said: "It was Yelu Deguang who hit a wall with Yelu Min, and his plan to move things was also ready to be sent, and it was not difficult for him to know the details of Ye Lu Min's assassination, and he should be able to understand Ye Lu Min's attitude towards him at this time." ”
"The key to this matter lies in two points, first of all, although the mastermind behind the scenes is Yelubei, it should be eight or nine or ten, but it also needs to be confirmed." This is the meticulousness of Li Congjing's actions, although logically speaking, Yelu is the most suspicious of those who framed Yelu Deguang and caused the hatred and confrontation between Yelu Min and Ye Lu Deguang, but it does not rule out the possibility of people with ulterior motives making trouble, although that possibility is very small.
Li Congjing continued: "Secondly, we must eliminate Yelu Min's hatred of Ye Lu Deguang as soon as possible, so that things can return to our original trajectory, which requires us to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and come up with evidence that can convince Ye Lu Min - this is where the difficulty lies. ”
"Is there any news for the three escaped Condor Shooters?" Mo Li asked.
"The three Condor Archers fled very quickly, and it was dark at the time, which made it quite difficult to track, and there is no news yet." Li Congjing shook his head.
"That's difficult, there are no other clues at the scene, if you can't trace the traces of the Condor Shooter, the only clue will be broken." Du Qianshu sighed.
Li Congjing rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little tricky, and said after a long time: "This matter can only rely on the Military Intelligence Department, and rely on Taoda to be in charge." ”
"Speaking of the peach master, I just saw her in a hurry, quite flustered, I don't know why?" Du Qianshu asked with a puzzled face, Tao Xiaoxiao has always been calm, and there is a calm heart under her casual appearance, and she basically will not show such a demeanor.
Li Congjing was slightly embarrassed, and in the face of Du Qianshu's serious gaze, he could only look at the left and right and say something else, "It's a good day today, hehe"
Mo Li immediately understood, and suddenly showed a malicious smile, and said, "I see"
Du Qianshu looked at Mo Li suspiciously, and then looked at Li Congjing suspiciously, "What is so?" Your Royal Highness, the head of the peach university looked flustered, has it something to do with the good weather? It can't be."
Li Congjing: ""
Du Qianshu: "Why don't you call the head of Taoda to discuss the next action of the MIA?" ”
Mo Li: "Haha"
Du Qianshu was even more puzzled, "What is Brother Mo laughing at?" ”
Mo Li: "It's nothing like it's a good day today, it's really good, haha"
Du Qianshu glanced outside the house, only to see that the sky was overcast, so he said seriously: "Why did Brother Mo open his eyes and talk nonsense?" ”
Mo Li smiled even more happily, Li Congjing's face couldn't hold back, so he simply sank his face, "Wait and retreat!" ”
On the way back to Miyagi, Yelubei always felt strange in his heart.
According to Li Congjing's statement, on the way here, he had already asked Lu Longjun to prepare, if Yelubei dared to renegade on the agreement signed with the Tang Dynasty, he would let Lu Longjun come north to find trouble with the Khitan, this is a threat, a naked threat.
Naturally, Jerubi was extremely angry at the threat.
But at this time, in addition to the look of anger on his face, it was more of an indescribable complexity.
Originally, Yelu Min was assassinated today, Ye Lu Bei planned to go to appease him, because he temporarily heard that Li Congjing had arrived in the West Building, in order to find out the details of the other party, he couldn't wait to meet him, and now that he returned, he naturally still wanted to see Ye Lu Min.
The arrival of Jelubei did not make the North Courtyard toss, and did not even make much noise, because he was a frequent visitor on weekdays, and as a diligent and sympathetic king, Yelubei patronized the North Courtyard so often that he could almost go to the imperial study - of course, this sentence was a sycophant's flattery to Yelube.
The two walked slowly in the north courtyard, because the layout of the north courtyard was modeled on the Youzhou official office, and then there was a place for the officials to rest, rockery and lake, verandah and curved bridge, covered in the pond water, but unfortunately there was no goldfish in the water, a little bit angry, Yelu Bei comforted Yelu Min with kind words, and then said: "If you feel uncomfortable, you can go back to rest earlier." ”
"Brother don't worry, Min'er is fine, now that the western expedition is imminent, everything is in full swing, and you need to keep an eye on it." Yelu Min was half a step behind Yelu Bei, and his expression was as calm as the water in the pool.
"Brother Wei is just worried that you are too tired and hurt your body." Yelubei's tone was full of concern, and he spoke for a while, pretending to be an understatement, "I went to see Li Congjing today. ”
He felt Jeremia's footsteps pause, but quickly returned to normal.
"Really?" Ye Lu Min brushed the silk hair on his sideburns, "Min'er also saw him yesterday." ”
"Oh?" Jerubi was surprised, "You've already met him?" Then he pretended to be abrupt, "It's not surprising, after all, you and him are old friends, and it's normal for him to go to see you first." ”
Yelubei deliberately only talked about Li Congjing's old friendship with Yelumin, and did not mention anything else, in order to show his trust and no suspicion of Yelumin.
"He suddenly came to the West Building this time, I'm afraid it has something to do with the Western Expedition." Jeremiah continued.
"Oh? What did he say? Jerube's tone was lighthearted.
"I didn't say it explicitly, after all, he didn't have a reason to explain to Min'er about such a national event, but between words, he wanted to find out some news from me." Jeremiah said.
"Of course Min'er won't reveal anything to him, he wants to probe the bottom of my Khitan from you, but his calculation is wrong." Yelubei smiled, very confident in Yelumin.
Yelumin's heart ached faintly, and Yelubei's trust made her feel extremely painful, and it was a taste of guilt. Thinking of what Li Congjing said to her, and then connecting with today's experience, for a moment, she almost couldn't help but explain truthfully, but when the words came out, she still changed the content, "Thank you brother for your trust." I don't know what my brother gained when he met him today? ”
"His plan looks very good, and he uses Lu Long's army to deter the Khitan, so that I don't dare to go west." Yelubei's smile was full of banter, and he was ridiculing Li Congjing very seriously, but the corner of his eyes never left Yelumin's face, and he didn't let go of any change in the expression on the other party's face, trying his best to see something from there.
"The Tang Dynasty has never really been at ease with the grassland, and Li Congjing is scheming, even more so, and it is not surprising that he has such plans." Ye Lu Min said these words, what is the feeling in her heart, I am afraid that only she can understand, "But this time he is destined not to take advantage, Lu Longjun will not go north, if he really dares to mislead and offend the Khitan, he will have his own suffering!" ”
"Exactly!" Jerubi laughed.
Yelumin's words are not untargeted, as the prime minister of the Khitan North Courtyard and the minister of Yelubei's humerus, she naturally knows a lot of inside information.
For this expedition to the west, Yelubei has made a lot of preparations, and since he has a secret saucer division, the information will not be blank. Youzhou and Datong Domain Towns of the Tang Dynasty were important chess pieces of the Tang Dynasty to monitor the movement of the grassland and balance the forces of the grassland.
Since Yelubei decided to go west, he naturally would not have failed to explore Youzhou and Datong Domain, especially Youzhou. But according to the feedback news, there was no change in Youzhou in the previous period, except for sending a team of envoys to the north this time, it can almost be said that there was no movement.
Of course, the Tang Dynasty did not perceive that the Khitan was about to march westward, which may also be the reason why there was no change in Youzhou.
Just like taking precautions against Yelu Deguang, Yelu Bei knew that the Western Expedition was a move to anger the Tang Dynasty, and naturally he had always been on guard against Youzhou, and he teamed up with Xu Zhihe to make a game of chess, wanting to make it impossible for the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army to go north, so as to successfully take the black car Murowei, that is, if the Tang Dynasty only dispatched Youzhou Lu Longjun, Yelu Bei was not afraid.
As a Khitan emperor for four years, he has been constrained by the Tang Dynasty, no matter how he looks at the behemoth of the Tang Dynasty, Yelubei is on guard against the Tang army that may appear on the grassland, including how the Khitan army responds once the Tang army goes north, which involves a series of tactical planning, battlefield selection, and troop mobilization, he has a draft, and has made full preparations for the draft.
When Li Congjing was in Youzhou, in order to defeat Yelu Abaoji, he studied the Khitan tactics and Khitan military habits thousands of times, conducted targeted tactics and battle formation training, and cultivated a group of generals and troops who were specially used for grassland conquests, which led to the later great victory.
In the past four years, Yelubei has naturally made preparations in order to deal with the Tang Army, which may go north in the future.
Therefore, Yelubei was not afraid of Lu Longjun's invasion of the Khitan, not only was he not afraid, he even dug a pit for Lu Longjun, once Lu Longjun dared to jump into it, he was sure that Lu Longjun would never recover.
Because of this, when he heard Li Congjing threaten that once the Khitan expedition to the west, Lu Longjun would wave his army north, Yelubei felt strange in his heart, not angry and jealous.
"When I personally conquer the black car room Wei, the West Building will be handed over to you to sit in the town, and then you will have to face the possible attacks of Yelu Deguang and Li Congjing, and the possible recklessness of some unscrupulous people, and it will be painful for you." Yelubei's eyes showed the love of his brother, "Thinking of the hardships and dangers in this, I often can't bear it for my brother, but looking at the ministers of the West Building, on talent and heart, only you can make your brother completely at ease, you will be more responsible, and when the Western Expedition is successful, I will come back to you for my brother to ask for guilt." ”
Yelubei's gaze became profound and profound, mixed with some unspeakable pain and loneliness, "When the emperor was still there, you and I suffered a lot, and you were forced to leave your hometown and flee to Youzhou, which is a foreign land, and you don't know how much suffering you have suffered in the past few years. However, the fate of you and my brother and sister is like this, so what can I do? Fortunately, the gods have eyes, so that you and I have the opportunity to re-establish ourselves on the top of the Khitan, at this moment, you and my brothers and sisters should work together, and only you and my brothers and sisters are really doing their best for the strength of the Khitan. In order to restore the Khitan hegemony, life and death can be put aside, this westward expedition is a glorious battle for the Khitan to announce the re-strengthening of the world, no matter what the price is paid, there is no room for loss. Min'er, do you understand what it means to be a brother? ”
Yelu Min lowered his head, his eyes were red, "Min'er understands, so she will break her bones and live up to her brother's ambition!" ”
"With Min'er's help, the ambition of being a brother can be accomplished! It's just that I'm bitter for you."
The sky was still gloomy, and there was no sunshine in sight, the water of Quqiao Lake was as quiet as a virgin, but Yelumin's heart seemed to have ignited a fire, burning the entire grassland, she couldn't hold back after all, and the big tears of beans slipped across her face and fell on the cold ground and shattered.
