A group of family heads walked out of the gate, and they found that Chen Shuda was outside the gate, but they did not panic, but each got into the carriage with a cold face, and the family guarded the carriage and drove away, and no one greeted Chen Shuda. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Wei Yunqi also saw Chen Shuda, and walked forward with a smile and said: "It turns out that Chen Xiangguo is here, it's really rude, why don't you send someone to say it, and it's good to wait at the door to greet you." ”

Chen Shuda smiled bitterly and said, "Wei Xiangguo is too busy, I'm embarrassed to send someone to disturb." ”

Of course, Wei Yunqi understood what he said, he looked at a few carriages in the distance, and said with a smile: "It's just an accident, I'll explain to Xiangguo when I go back, Xiangguo, please come in!" ”

"Wei Xiangguo, please!"

The two walked into the inner hall, and at this time, several entourages had already packed up the teacups of the six guests, and the couch was also laid out again, Wei Yunqi invited Chen Shuda to sit down, and let the entourage serve tea.

Chen Shuda was also not polite, and asked openly: "A few days ago, the Yuyun incident unfortunately happened in Chang'an, which caused a little misunderstanding between the emperor of my family and the nobles of Guanlong. ”

Chen Shuda frankly expressed his dissatisfaction with the scene just now, and asked Wei Yunqi sharply.

Wei Yunqi took a sip of tea and said lightly: "I set out from Zhongdu ten days ago, and the Yu Yun incident only happened four days ago, to be honest, I just learned about this matter, I regret it, I believe that my son of heaven will be equally sad, Yu Yun is a very diligent and upright official, his death is a huge loss to the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a loss to my Great Zhou Empire." ”

Chen Shuda hurriedly apologized and said: "I was so angry just now, I didn't think about it and talked nonsense, please understand Wei Xiangguo!" ”

Wei Yunqi shook his head and said solemnly: "I'm not angry, I just feel sad, because this is not the first time that a similar incident has happened to Yu Yun, with all due respect, if the emperor of the Gui Dynasty does not strictly restrain the king of Chu and allows him to act so recklessly and kill innocent ministers, he will completely destroy the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, today Chen Xiangguo also saw with his own eyes, these Guan Long families are usually silent, but what is the performance today, just like what I said during the day, justice is in the hearts of the people." ”

Chen Shuda sighed, "Wei Xiangguo's golden and jade words can be described as the stone of his mountain, in fact, I also understand in my heart that these Guanlong noble family heads came to visit Wei Xiangguo openly today, not just to express their dissatisfaction with the Yun incident, the Yu Yun incident is just a medicine primer, there are deeper reasons for their dissatisfaction, but it is difficult to be humane to outsiders, as for whether His Royal Highness the King of Chu has done too much, I think this is like people drinking water and knowing themselves." ”

"Alright! We won't mention this matter, I think Chen Xiangguo came to visit tonight, he must have wanted to know the purpose of my visit this time, right? Wei Yunqi said bluntly.

Chen Shuda nodded hurriedly, "It is for this reason, if I don't even know the intention of Wei Xiangguo's envoy to the Tang Dynasty, we don't know how to negotiate with Wei Xiangguo, please make it clear!" ”

Wei Yunqi smiled, and asked several people to take a map and hang it on a wooden shelf, Wei Yunqi stood up and walked to the map and said with a smile: "I came to Chang'an this time, in fact, I want to make a deal with your country." ”

"Oh? What exactly is the transaction, and can you elaborate on it? Chen Shuda also walked to the map.

Wei Yunqi pointed to the Taiyuan County on the map with a wooden pole and said, "We want to exchange three counties for the Taiyuan County of your country. ”

Chen Shuda's face changed greatly, but he didn't say anything, and when Wei Yunqi continued, Wei Yunqi continued: "Specifically, Shangdang County, Changping County and Diaoyin County, this is the real intention of my envoy to Chang'an, if your country has other ideas, I can also negotiate with your country on behalf of the Great Zhou Empire." ”

"In addition, does Wei Xiangguo have any other purpose for this trip?"

"I also want to negotiate with your country on the issue of opening up trade, and send envoys to each of the capitals of both sides to facilitate timely communication."

........

"Nonsense!"

Li Yuan was furious, he was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded: "Taiyuan is the land of my dragon prosperity, does he want to cut off my dragon vein?" In my dream, I won't change with him, tell Wei Yunqi to leave today, I don't welcome such a messenger! ”

Several ministers in the imperial study looked at each other, they didn't expect the Son of Heaven to be so impulsive, almost without thinking about denying the other party's plan, in fact, they were a little tempted when Chen Shuda recounted, in fact, the so-called Taiyuan County They can only hold Taiyuan City, and the rest of the counties are basically controlled by the other party, Zhang Xuan's army came down from Loufu County, passed through Taiyuan County to Shangdang County, and Hebei's army also came directly from Jingcheng, through Taiyuan County to Loufan County.

These are all open secrets, even Li Shenfu, who guards Taiyuan, complains that he can't control the counties, and now Zhang Xuan is willing to exchange the three counties for a city in Taiyuan, not to mention that there is Diaoyin County inside, where there is a big iron mine in the Red Iron Mountain!

Since the loss of Jiangxia County, the Tang Dynasty's pig iron source has basically been cut off, the army can only rely on the tens of millions of catties of pig iron transported from Jiangxia at that time to build equipment, with a little less, only a few months, the inventory has been used up half, if they can't find the source of pig iron, when the stock of pig iron is exhausted, what should they do?

Several Xiangguo gave Chen Shuda a look and asked him to persuade the saint again, but Chen Shuda's expression was very embarrassed, he didn't know whether to say whether to say that the six Guanlong nobles collectively visited Wei Yunqi, and said that the Son of Heaven was afraid that he would be even more angry, causing monstrous anger, but if he didn't say it, it would be his own dereliction of duty, and the Son of Heaven would know sooner or later, so Chen Shuda was entangled in his heart, but he didn't notice everyone's eyes.

At this time, Dou Jin coughed lightly and asked Chen Shuda: "I heard Chen Xiangguo say just now that we can also propose a plan ourselves, and we don't necessarily have to exchange it for Taiyuan, is that so?" ”

All eyes looked at Chen Shuda, including Li Yuan, the Son of Heaven, as if he was also very concerned about this sentence, Chen Shuda had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to his mouth, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, he did say so, if we don't accept his plan, we can also put forward our own plan, he has the right to decide, and there is no need to report to Zhongdu." ”

With Chen Shuda's words, Dou Jin immediately said: "Your Majesty, since Wei Yunqi has expressed his position like this, then we don't need to think about Taiyuan City, and use it to merge with other places in the state, and then we will talk to him." ”

Liu Wenjing next to him shook his head, "I think there's a problem here!" ”

Everyone looked at Liu Wenjing again, and Liu Wenjing said unhurriedly: "If we don't agree with the other party's plan, then let's just mention one, such as using Lishi County and Longquan County in the west of the state to exchange Shangdang, Changping County, or Diaoyin County, are they willing?" Jang Hyun is not a fool, will he give the iron ore back to us? And there are no garrisons in Lishi and Longquan counties, and now our two sides are still at war, if he wants to, just send troops to occupy it, can he use his own bleeding? ”

"Then what does Liu Xiangguo think the other party means?" Dou Jin asked a little unconvinced.

"I think the other party just wants Taiyuan City, because Taiyuan City has 30,000 garrisons, and Taiyuan City is tall and strong, and it is extremely difficult to attack, so they proposed to use the method of replacement, once we hand over Taiyuan County, the army will withdraw to Shangdang and Changping Counties, and Zhang Xuan's army will attack again, and which city in these two counties can withstand the enemy's attack?"

Liu Wenjing's analysis was very thorough, and everyone finally understood Zhang Xuan's methods, and used negotiation to let Tang Jun go to strengthen his shield, Li Yuan sneered, "He wants my Taiyuan, unless I give him Chang'an as well, otherwise he won't have this dream!" ”

Liu Wenjing said again: "Your Majesty, in fact, through this incident, Zhang Xuan's next war direction has also been exposed, it must be Taiyuan, if 200,000 troops attack, I am afraid that 30,000 troops alone will not be able to hold Taiyuan, we must increase our troops, at least 50,000 troops to be able to hold it." ”

Liu Wenjing did the Jinyang Order, he knew the city defense of Taiyuan City very well, although there was a precedent that Liu Wuzhou 150,000 people could not attack Taiyuan City, which was only defended by 20,000 people, but those were just a rabble, and even the simplest siege ladder could not be done.

But Zhang Xuan's army is completely different, 80,000 troops can capture the 30,000 garrisoned Taiyuan City, and Li Deliang, the new county king who is now guarding Taiyuan, is not a famous general, which is why Liu Wenjing is very worried.

Li Yuan paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, they were going to enter and suppress Song Jingang entrenched in Yan'an County this year, 80,000 troops gathered in Shangjun in the name of military training, and even the second son Li Shimin went in person, if they recruited troops from Taiyuan City again, where would they still draw out the army, could it be the army of Longyou or the army of Bashu?

At present, the Tang army still has 250,000 troops, of which there are 30,000 troops in Jingzhao area, 10,000 in Fufeng County and Tongguan, 10,000 in Hangu Pass, 30,000 troops in Longyou and Hexi, 30,000 troops in Bashu, 10,000 garrisons in Shangluo County, 30,000 troops in Taiyuan City, 5,000 troops each in Hedong County and Pujin Pass, and the remaining 80,000 troops are concentrated in Shangjun.
