Chapter 68: Luo Yi's Worries

In fact, Luo Yi knew very well the purpose of the second son coming to him, not only him, but also several confidants and generals who were seized power by Li Yuanji also came to him, everyone was extremely resentful and demanded to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, Luo Yi didn't want to, just ......

Luo Yi sighed: "I can understand your feelings, but have you ever considered what your eldest brother would do if we surrendered to the Sui Dynasty?" ”

This is Luo Yi's biggest heart disease, his eldest son was a hostage in the East Palace, once he surrendered to the Sui army, how could Li Jiancheng spare his eldest son?

"But...... Didn't the eldest brother come to Hanzhong to deliver a letter last time? Or his father said that he was seriously ill and asked his eldest brother to visit his father, since Li Jiancheng prides himself on filial piety first, then he should let his eldest brother come to Hanzhong to visit the sick. ”

Luo Yi shook his head, "This time, that time, now the situation is critical, the Sui army has been killed in Hanzhong, how can Li Jiancheng put your eldest brother back in this situation, and am I sick, Li Yuanji will not know?" Li Jiancheng is not stupid, this kind of thing can't be hidden from him, your eldest brother should have been monitored at this time. ”

Luo Xin wanted to say more, at this time, a report from his own soldiers came from outside the door: "Chief Qiqi, Cangcao joined the army Wang Jian asked to see him outside the mansion, saying that there is an important matter to report." ”

Luo Yi waved his hand and said to Luo Xin: "You go and ask him what is the matter, if there is something important, you can bring him to see me, if there is nothing important, you can just talk to him and comfort him." ”

In the past two days, there have been subordinates asking to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, Luo Yi has been disturbed, he doesn't want to see him again, Luo Xin nodded, turned around and left the study, and walked towards the door of the mansion......

There were two people standing outside the gate of the mansion, one was Cangcao Shen Military Wang Jian, more than forty years old, of medium stature, quite capable, and the other was Wang Ji, a scout of the Sui army, who had been promoted to lieutenant, Sima Yao Jindong did not send another envoy, and directly ordered him to be a messenger to send a letter from Xu Shiji to Luo Yi.

Wang Ji was a little nervous, although he was a very good person, he was a businessman before he joined the army, talking about business and dealing with people, it was his forte, but after all, he had never done this kind of messenger thing, especially when dealing with an executive like Luo Yi, he was even more uneasy in his heart.

"Don't be nervous, with me, he won't do anything to you, he has to give me this face." Wang Jian, who was next to him, saw his cousin's nervousness and comforted him in a low voice.

Wang Ji nodded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a low voice: "What if he refuses to surrender?" ”

Wang Jian understood Luo Yi's situation very well, and smiled, "Don't worry!" There are many things he can't help himself, let's not worry, take your time, it's really not good, just do it according to the special method I thought. ”

The two were talking, at this time, Luo Xin walked out of the mansion, he joined the army in the office, and Wang Jian was very familiar, as soon as he went out, he smiled and said: "I heard that Wang has been very busy in the army for the past two days, how can you have time to come?" ”

Wang Jian replied: "There is something important to report to the manager, no matter how busy you are, you have to come." ”

Luo Xin was about to ask something, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Wang Ji, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Who is this?" ”

Wang Jian stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, Luo Xin was taken aback, this turned out to be the envoy of the Sui army, and he hurriedly said: "Please come in!" ”

Luo Xin invited the two into the house and placed them in your room to rest and wait, while he hurried to find his father.

"Father, the child has a big report."

"Come in and talk about it."

Luo Xin walked into the room, bowed down and said, "Father, Wang Jian brought an envoy from the Sui army to ask to see his father. ”

Luo Yi frowned slightly, Wang Jian was just Cangcao joined the army, and he was a native of Nanzheng, how could he know Sui Jun, Luo Yi was a little worried that this was a trap set by Li Yuanji to harm himself.

Luo Xin understood his father's worries, and said: "It was a cousin of Wang Jian who was a lieutenant in the Sui army, and this person came with a letter, which was written by Xu Shiji. ”

At this time, Luo Yi had already figured out that in fact, with Li Yuanji's character, if he wanted to harm himself, he would kill himself directly, and then casually charge himself, it would not be so troublesome, this must be the envoy of the Sui army, he nodded, "Bring them to my study." ”

Luo Xin walked out quickly, and after a while, he led Wang Jian and Wang Ji to his father's study, and Wang Jian stepped forward to give a deep salute, "See the manager!" ”

"You don't have to be polite when you join the army."

Luo Yi's eyes were fixed on Wang Ji behind him, he was so short and fat, was this the envoy of the Sui Dynasty? As soon as he thought about it, he understood that it should be his relationship with Wang Jian that was used as an envoy.

Wang Ji also stepped forward and bowed deeply, "See General Luo." ”

"Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite, I heard that you have a letter for me, can you bring it now?"

Luo Yi was not interested in this messenger, only interested in Xu Shiji's handwritten letter, Wang Ji hurriedly took out the letter from his arms, presented it with both hands, Luo Yi took the letter, took out the letter and read it again, as he thought, that is, the general trend of the world has been decided, please recognize the situation and follow the trend, which can ensure his future future.

After all, it is not Yang Yuanqing's handwritten letter, there is nothing to look forward to, but it can be seen from it that the Sui army's intentions are not intended to attack the city, but to surrender the army without a fight, if it is Yang Yuanqing's handwritten letter, Luo Yi may consider it, but it is Xu Shiji's letter, Luo Yi's interest is not very big, he must first consider the safety of his eldest son.

However, Luo Yi did not refuse, so he said lightly: "Please ask Captain Wang to go back and tell General Xu, just say that the matter is very important, I need to think about it for a few days, and once I think about it, I will reply to him immediately." ”

Father's answer made Luo Xin next to him sigh secretly, he knew his father, his father's answer was actually a delay, neither agree, nor refuse, and he would not express his position until the last moment, which made Luo Xin extremely disappointed, so that he lost the initiative to control his fate, and his future career will be a little difficult.

"Xin'er, send off guests for your father."

Luo Xin was so helpless that he had to send Wang Jian and Wang Ji out of the house, he stood on the steps and arched his hand: "Please give my father a little time and let him think about it." ”

"This is nature, then let's take our leave."

The two brothers boarded the carriage and took their leave, and Luo Xin watched them go away, only to let out a long sigh and enter the house worriedly......

In the carriage, Wang Ji asked his cousin worriedly, "What does my brother think Luo Yi's statement means?" ”

Wang Jian sneered, "His statement is very ambiguous, neither agreeing nor refusing, saying that he wants to consider, but he refuses to give a specific deadline, is it to consider three days or a month?" He refused to say anything, which shows that he has no sincerity. ”

"So what do we do?" Wang Ji asked nervously, he was just a small businessman and had no opinion on this kind of militaristic affairs.

After all, Wang Jian has been in the officialdom of Hanzhong for more than ten years, he knows what to do, and more importantly, this is related to his vital interests and whether he can become the Sima of Hanchuan County, of course he will work hard to do this well.

"Let's just force him to make a statement according to the method we discussed in advance." ……

Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, only returned to Hanzhong three days ago, he was forced to hand over the military power of Bashu to Duan Zhixuan, and led more than 100 henchmen to leave Chengdu, but in the secret decree given to him by his father, he was ordered to seize the military power in Hanzhong, Li Yuanji understood that this was his father's uneasy Luo Yi, but his father did not want to trigger the competition between the prince and the king of Qin for the military power in Hanzhong, so he secretly ordered him to seize power.

Li Yuanji showed the sword of Shang Fang Tianzi and forced Luo Yi to hand over power by strong means, unless Luo Yi rebelled directly, otherwise he would not hand over power, Li Yuanji could kill him directly, Li Yuanji ate Luo Yi, his son was an official in the East Palace, did he dare to rebel?

However, Li Yuanji is a little regretful that he does not have many henchmen, in addition to removing more than a dozen henchmen under Luo Yi, other civil and military officials, he can only use Luo Yi's old people.

In the past two days, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was also quite nervous, he had just seized Luo Yi's military power, and he got the news that Xu Shiji led 40,000 Sui troops to kill Hanzhong, this news made Li Yuanji regret it, and he knew that he would return to Chang'an directly, and it was useless to seize this military power, and clean up the mess for Luo Yi in vain.

But at this time he was helpless, at this time he left Hanzhong again, fled back to Chang'an, his father had to kill him, he had to order the army to defend the city, and at the same time urgently asked Chang'an for help.

Li Yuanji's residence is the back house of the Taishou Mansion of Hanchuan County, at this time, the night has been dark, Li Yuanji is sitting alone in the room drinking stuffy wine, if according to his temper, he will inevitably send his own soldiers to rob him of women, without a woman to accompany him, he can't sleep at night.

But he was not in the mood tonight, he had just received information that the Sui army had entered Hanchuan County, and it was less than fifty miles away from Nanzheng, that is to say, early tomorrow morning, the Sui army would appear outside Nanzheng City.

Li Yuanji took the wine glass and drank it all, and at this moment, a guard reported at the door: "Your Highness, King Cangcao joined the army and urgently asked to see him, saying that there is a major event to report." ”

Li Yuanji was already half-drunk, so he ordered: "Bring him to me!" ”

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the guards reported: "Your Highness, the king is here to join the army." ”

"Come in!"

The door opened, and Cangcao Counselor Wang Jian walked in, knelt down and saluted, "Meet His Royal Highness King Qi!" ”

Li Yuanji glanced at him, he had only seen this Cangcao join the military once, it was said that he was a local, he liked the local, he was not Luo Yi's henchman, Li Yuanji's tone became softer, "Wang joins the army, do you have any major things to report?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, just now Chief Luo went to his mansion with Weichen."

Li Yuanji shook his head and suddenly became interested, "What is he looking for you to do in the mansion?" ”

"He asked Weichen to write a list for him, how much military rations are there in Nanzheng City, how much forage, how many arrows, armor, etc., all the war materials, he wants me to provide a detailed list, Weichen doesn't know why he wants these lists, I don't know what to do? I have come to report to His Highness and ask His Highness for instructions. ”

Li Yuanji was stunned, his eyes gradually narrowed, these are extremely important military intelligence, why does Luo Yi want it? To whom does he want to give this information? …… (To be continued.)
