Chapter 1012: Hypocritical Friendliness

Some people handed over the list to Yu Wenshi, who took the list and spread it out and looked at it carefully, only to see that there was a long list written on it, 53,555 war horses (not counting wounded horses), 850 camels, 37,000 sets of armor, 26,400 prisoners of war, 9,400 taels of gold, flags, war drums, and utensils........

Ling Jing, the deputy envoy next to him, explained: "You also know that the flesh injury of the war horse can be ignored, here it only refers to a fracture or eye injury, this kind of injury is difficult to heal, and only half of the war horses that can heal and survive are at most, and they can no longer be used as war horses, they can only be used as animal power, so we don't count the injured horses."

Yu Wenshi and yesterday and the prince Jiancheng, Xiangguo Chen Shuda carefully discussed until late at night, basically knew how to answer, he asked the engaged to transfer the list to Chen Shuda, frowned and said to Wen Yanbo and Ling Jing: "Generally speaking, it should be counted by both parties together, and after the list is made, the counters of both sides sign and confirm, and now you will give us a list that has been counted, but the real thing is missing, it seems a little ........"

Ling Jing's face sank, and he said coldly: "There is a seal of His Royal Highness the King of Qi on it, is His Royal Highness the regent of the Northern Sui Dynasty and the commander of the 400,000 army, in the eyes of Yuwen Shilang, like a street vegetable vendor, and he has to deliberately lack catties and shortages?" ”

Yu Wenshi was very embarrassed, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, I just said a little ........."

Later, Chen Shuda coughed heavily and stopped Yu Wenshi's explanation, Chen Shuda smiled gently: "Ling joined the army and misunderstood, His Royal Highness the King of Qi has an outstanding reputation, no one in the world knows, there is no problem with this list, we fully accept it, and we can accept the division method according to the number of troops sent, in a word, we fully accept your spoils division plan." ”

Although Yu Wenshi was very embarrassed, he was a little anxious in his heart, Chen Shuda's statement was completely different from the result of their discussion last night, didn't he say that he would continue to discuss the spoils of Mayi County? And the other party's list is obviously just the spoils of Lou Fu County, why did Chen Xiangguo change his mind and accept the other party's plan like this, why is this?

He couldn't help but glance at the crown prince Li Jiancheng again, only to see His Royal Highness the crown prince drinking tea calmly on the side, without the slightest strange expression, Yu Wenshi immediately understood that the two of them must have continued to discuss after they left, but they did not tell themselves the result of the discussion.

Yu Wenshi suddenly had a feeling of being fooled, he was extremely annoyed in his heart, the prince didn't want to see him, this Chen Shuda also deceived himself, what did he think of himself, puppet or clay sculpture?

At this time, Wen Yanbo saw that Yu Wenshi and his face were red and white, and the deputy envoy next to him, Zhao Cijing, was also full of surprise, obviously they had internal differences, so he smiled slightly: "Chen Xiangguo doesn't need to be in such a hurry to express his position, it is better to present this list to the Emperor of the Imperial Court of the Gui Dynasty, which may be more secure." ”

Without waiting for Chen Shuda to express his position, Zhao Cijing said: "Wen Shilang is right, you really need to be cautious. ”

At this time, Li Jiancheng also realized that there were internal differences between them, and he also knew the reason for the internal differences, mainly because they only decided to negotiate with Bei Sui the morning before yesterday, and the time was too rushed, and Zhao Jingci was only appointed by his father yesterday afternoon, presumably Zhao Jingci got some instructions from his father.

Li Jiancheng finally spoke: "Let's take a rest first!" We'll get back to that. ”

.......

In the back hall, Zhao Cijing whispered to Li Jiancheng and Chen Shuda: "Yesterday, the saint clearly told me that the loot is a huge war resource, if it can't be used by us, it will be used by the Northern Sui, and it will be used against us in the end, we must try our best to get the maximum harvest, and we must not let the other party make a price, let alone be swayed by them, this is the original words of the saint." ”

Li Jiancheng and Chen Shuda glanced at each other, and both of them showed surprise in their eyes, this is completely different from the previous statement of the saint, the saint handed over the matter to the prince to dispose of, Chen Shuda stood aside, how did he get to Zhao Jingci Here it has become another way of saying, of course Zhao Jingci will not fake the holy will, this must be the original words of the Son of Heaven, but why the Son of Heaven said differently.

Of course, he was also confused about Yu Wenshi, and the information he received was also inconsistent, but that was Li Jiancheng's strategy, and someone had to be a villain to test the other party, so Li Jiancheng and Chen Shuda deliberately concealed their true attitude from Yu Wenshi.

When the nature of these two is completely different, Yuwenshi and only a middle-level official, what he says wrong will not hinder the overall situation, and it does not represent the will of the imperial court, and the other party will not believe it, at most, Yuwenshi and himself feel embarrassed.

But Chen Shuda is Xiangguo, Li Jiancheng is the crown prince, and what they say in their capacity basically represents the will of the imperial court, since the saint has full authority to deal with it, how can there be new instructions to Zhao Cijing, which will cause unnecessary confusion.

Chen Shuda suddenly realized that the root of this problem was still due to the saint's distrust of the prince, and he immediately said to Li Jiancheng: "Let's ask the saint more!" ”

What Chen Shuda meant was that the Holy Lord did not really give them full authority to deal with it.

Li Jiancheng was very depressed in his heart, of course he understood what Chen Shuda meant, although he was very dissatisfied in his heart, but he was helpless, his father had canonized his second brother as the general of Tiance, and allowed him to open a government to discuss politics, this is to warn himself, if he continues to fight with his father, I am afraid that his position as the crown prince will not be long.

Li Jiancheng pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "Let's enter the palace immediately!" ”

........

In the imperial study room of the Wude Palace, Li Jiancheng and Chen Shuda stood aside with their hands down, Li Yuan sat in front of the imperial case and carefully reviewed the list of loot given by the Northern Sui, and after a while, he asked Li Jiancheng: "Why is there no tent in this list of loot?" There are also wounded war horses if they are healed, how to divide them, they did not mention, in addition, the Turks sent 300,000 troops to invade the south, almost all the army was wiped out, how can it be possible that only more than 50,000 war horses were captured, more than 20,000 prisoners of war, do you think it is possible? ”

Li Jiancheng bowed and said: "Enlighten the father, the camp tent and the injured horse, I can go and confirm with the other party again, but there is one thing that the father may not understand, this list is only a list of the spoils of the battle of Loufu County, and does not include the spoils of Mayi County." ”

"Why?"

Li Yuan asked unhappily, "Why is it only a part?" ”

"Father, the other party thinks that the cooperation between our two armies is only limited to Loufan County, and the battle in Mayi County was completed by them independently, and it has nothing to do with us!"

"That's what they told you?"

"Yes!"

"Who said that?" Li Yuan asked reluctantly.

Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment and said, "It was Zhang Xuanjun's teacher Fang Xuanling who said to the people sent by his son. ”

Li Yuan's face was gloomy again, "It turns out that you have already been in contact before, why don't you tell me?" ”

Li Jiancheng sighed secretly in his heart, there were some things he couldn't dodge, he had to bite the bullet and say: "The end of the war, the soldiers of the two armies have to return separately, so Erchen sent someone to ask when the Sui army will withdraw and the three northern counties, and the Tang army will take it, and it will talk about the spoils of war, because this needs to be decided by the imperial court, and our contact has no meaning, so Erchen did not tell his father." ”

Li Yuan said coldly: "If you have anything else to hide from me, let's talk about it together!" lest I press you later. ”

Li Jiancheng wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "Erchen has nothing else to hide from his father." ”

Li Yuan looked at him for a while and asked, "What do you say about the three northern counties, when will they withdraw and return to us?" ”

"They said that the three northern counties are Liu Wuzhou's territory, and they have nothing to do with us, unless Liu Wuzhou's son has the right to claim it from them."

"Bastard!"

Li Yuan suddenly became furious, slammed his fist on the table, and he paced back and forth in the room in anger, as if he was about to lose his monstrous anger.

Li Jiancheng lowered his head deeply, he knew that at least half of his father's anger was directed at him, in fact, his father understood everything, the root cause was that he violated the holy will and sent troops to join forces with the Northern Sui without authorization, and his father's anger did not burst out until today.

Li Yuan glared at Li Jiancheng and reprimanded angrily: "What does it have to do with us, we spent two years, how much food we spent, how many soldiers were killed, just to recapture the three northern counties from Liu Wuzhou, and to annihilate Liu Wuzhou, but they came out to pick fruits, provoked the Turks, and let the two families bear it together, and the final reputation belongs to him Zhang Xuan, and the benefits belong to him Zhang Xuan, so what are we?" Footcloth? Kick it out when you're done with it, isn't it! ”

In the end, Li Yuan's emotions were out of control, and he actually pointed at Li Jiancheng and roared angrily, and his dissatisfaction with his son was vented at this moment.

Li Jiancheng and Chen Shuda knelt down, Li Jiancheng said with tears in his eyes: "The sons are incompetent, they can't share the worries of their fathers, causing the situation of the state today, all the responsibility lies with the sons, and the sons are willing to accept all punishments without complaints."
