Chapter 268: Identifying Conspiracy and Breaking Tricks (1)
In fact, it didn't matter what kind of dish Li Xian cooked, because the few people who had dinner tonight had their own agendas, and none of them paid attention to whether the dishes were delicious or not. Ye Huaisleeve's heart was thinking about whether Ashina Duoduo really liked Li Xian, and if the two sisters were serving a husband, would they be angry and thunderous? She didn't know, if she didn't really like Li Xian, how could she be so troubled by gains and losses? So she kept thinking, if Duoduo really likes Li Xian, what should she do? It seems that there is no other way but to leave.
Chai Shao was thinking about how this guy named Li Xian was becoming more and more mysterious, and he was so rich that he was so angry that people and gods were angry. During the banquet, he peeked at Ashina Duoduo, and then at Ye Huaisleeve, who was alluring to the city and the country, and the jealousy in his heart burned him and he didn't even know what the food in his mouth tasted like. Ashina Duoduo and Ye Huaisleeve are completely beautiful women with two temperaments, one is charming and mature and wants to swallow it when she looks at her, and the other beautiful and dignified holy aura also makes people have the urge to push it.
Thinking of the incomparable girl with a good figure who accompanied Li Xian by Weishan Lake, he was even more angry when he thought of the girl's slender and straight legs. In fact, his wife Li Huining is also a long-legged beauty, and those legs are so perfect that people can't put it down. But as a son of a family who once had a reputation for wandering in Chang'an, Chai Shao has a great appetite for women's needs. In addition, Li Huining is a person with a cold surname, and he is still a little afraid, so naturally the more he looks at his wife, the more tasteless he becomes.
What Ashina Duoduo was thinking about was what Li Xian had said before, whether it was intentional or unintentional. Did he really want to keep himself or did he just want to mediate the conflict between himself and his sister Ye Huaichong? If it's the latter, then there's really no need for me to stay here. If it's the former...... I have already told my sister that I don't like Li Xian, and my sister is already Li Xian's woman, what are I? If she stays, will my sister be unhappy?
Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at Li Xian, but found that he lowered his head and seemed to be pondering something.
Seeing Li Xian's handsome face, Ashina Duoduo suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
And what Li Huining was thinking at this time was, can people like Li Xian really be able to win over and help the Li family do things? Although she kept stopping Chai Shao when she talked about that incident, didn't she feel in her heart that the world of the Great Sui Yang family could no longer sit still? And does the Li family have a chance to take advantage of the situation and turn the family into a country? This is a very crazy idea, and even her eldest brother Li Jiancheng does not dare to think about it easily. But Li Huining dared to think about it, and even she once thought about whether she should persuade her father to prepare early. Several strategists around his father have actually given birth to this idea, and Li Huining actually understands that his father may not be as resolute as he appears.
And what was Li Xian, who had his head down, thinking?
He was wondering about the look on his face when Ashina Duoduo asked him just now if he really wanted to keep her and if he could give her a decent reason.
However, this thought was only fleeting, and what he was thinking about was more about how to fight this battle against Wagangzhai after sending troops, and how to fight it so that it could win without too much loss? Thinking about this, the shadows of Ye Huaichong and Ashina Duoduo popped out of his mind again to interrupt his train of thought, which made him a little annoyed.
"General Li said that he was going to hunt wolves?"
Seeing that the scene was a little deserted, Li Huining smiled and raised his wine glass and asked, "Why are there still jackals hurting people in Juye Ze?" ”
Li Xian raised his head and smiled: "There used to be a large group of wolves in Juye Zeli who ate people and did not spit out bones, but they have been killed by me. Ming said that the one who was going to fight was not the wolf of Dongping County, but the wolf who coveted my Dongping County. ”
"No wonder!"
Chai Shao's face changed and said: "Before entering the city, I saw a large army gathered outside the city, I said that it didn't look like a hunting posture, just hunting wolves, why use tens of thousands of troops?" ”
"I don't know...... Who is General Lee going to war with? ”
Chai Shao hesitated for a moment and asked.
Li Xian thought for a while and said truthfully: "The men and horses of Wagangzhai in Dongjun took advantage of my battle with Wang Bo a few days ago, and sent troops to besiege Leize County under my rule. After I defeated Wang Bo, I was about to lead the army to Lei Ze, when Shao Gong arrived. ”
Chai Shao was stunned and said: "I heard that Jibei Zhishilang has more than 100,000 troops under his command...... General Lee's soldiers are really extraordinary, admire! ”
He wanted to say that Wang Bo had an army of more than 100,000 people, how did you defeat him? But he knew that Li Xian would not lie about this matter, so he changed it to a flattering sentence later. Li Xian didn't seem to appreciate it, but said lightly: "No matter how many sheep there are, they are still sheep, even if there are 150,000 sheep gathered together, they are still not the opponent of wolves." There is nothing to brag about when defeating Wang Bo's men and horses, and Yang Shan, the county of Qinghe County, will lose his armor and abandon his armor with a thousand county soldiers? ”
Hearing his words, Li Huining's eyes lit up.
"Regard the army of more than 100,000 as mustard, and the general is so courageous."
Li Xian smiled, and suddenly said something that made Li Huining and Chai Shao tremble: "Tang Gong is even more courageous, if he says that his troops go out of Hexi, who can stop him?" ”
……
……
That night, Chai Shao paced back and forth in the guest room, muttering as he walked: "What did Li Xian mean by what he said during dinner?" Why did even a grass coward like him think that his father was against him sitting in Hexi? What I'm worried about now is whether someone in the court has slandered His Majesty again. ”
Li Huining smiled indifferently and said: "There is no need to worry about this, our Li family has made a lot of friends in the court, if there is anything unreasonable in the court, we don't know, but a hero on the green forest road knows first." You're just too suspicious, and I think his words are nothing more than a temptation. ”
"Temptation?"
Chai Shao's face changed and asked, "What's the use of him testing this...... Unless...... Unless he really has the heart to vote for our Li family! ”
Thinking of this, Chai Shao's face suddenly became happy: "If there is such a general to help, he said that our Li family's actions are tantamount to adding wings to the tiger." After saying this, Chai Shao thought again, if Li Xian really planned to take refuge in Tang Gong, wouldn't he have a chance to be ashamed in the future? Father-in-law can't let this person be above him, right?
"You're thinking too much."
Li Huining shook his head slightly and said: "I think, he doesn't mean that, he's just a person who doesn't want to suffer, you start to want to ridicule him, didn't he notice it?" ”
Chai Shao said with annoyance: "Villains will be bored enough to engage in pointless verbal battles. ”
Li Huining remembered Li Xian's black hand under Li Xian on the shore of Weishan Lake, except for Chai Shao, the other dozen or so guards were kicked in the crotch by Li Xian, where can this style of play be called a gentleman? Thinking of this, she suddenly found that Li Xian was still merciful to Chai Shao, otherwise her husband would be in pain. Just the thought of this, she immediately blushed.
"Maybe it's this kind of surname that refuses to suffer, which is precisely because of its repeated achievements on the battlefield."
Li Huining lowered his head and said.
Chai Shao retorted with some annoyance: "Throughout the ages, where is there such a small family of famous generals on the battlefield? Which is not open-minded and all-encompassing? Which is not frank and open? ”
Li Huining smiled and said, "You're not sulking?" ”
Chai Shao was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "I just feel uncomfortable when I hear you praise him, by the way, it seems that you are very concerned about Li Xian's use of troops when you eat?" ”
Li Huining nodded and said, "Even if we don't need him now, it's good to have one more good fate." ”
"Haha!"
Chai Shao smiled: "You have finally opened your mind!" ”
Chai Shao said in high spirits: "This Dongping County is not very far from the eastern capital Luoyang, if it is said that my father raises troops in Hexi and attracts this person, it will be of great benefit to our Li family!" When the time comes, my father will lead the army south, and if this person responds, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Ning'er, I think I'd better talk to him tonight! ”
Li Huining frowned slightly and said: "Why rush for a while, let's just mention a little when we leave, then Li Xian is also a person with a clear mind, there is no need to say it explicitly." ”
Chai Shao thought for a while and nodded: "Then let's leave early tomorrow morning, and I'll mention it to him again." ”
Li Huining slowly shook his head and said, "If you go and say it, maybe he won't agree even if he wants to join a family." ”
Chai Shao was puzzled: "Why! ”
Suddenly stunned, he smiled bitterly and said, "That's good...... Just say it, it's really troublesome to deal with villains. I was beaten by him, could it be that he still holds a grudge? ”
……
……
In Ye Huaisleeve's room, it was supposed to be Ashina Duoduo and the two sisters talking, but at this time in the room, there was a man and a woman, and the woman was Ye Huaisleeve, and the man was naturally Li Xian, who deliberately let Ashina Duoduo go to the guest room to rest, but he got in. The room was quiet, and the two sat facing each other, but neither of them spoke.
"Duoduo should go back to the grassland."
After being silent for a long time, Li Xian suddenly said such a sentence, which made Ye Huaisleeve raise his head suddenly.
"Why?"
Ye Huaisleeve said puzzledly: "Ashina Jishi forced her to marry Luo Yi's son, and she herself doesn't want to live on the grassland, if you don't want him to stay, I will arrange for someone to send her back to Jiangnan Caolu." ”
Li Xian sighed and said, "Do you really think Luo Yi is so easy to coax?" Do you really think Ashina Jishi is an idiot? ”
Ye Huaisleeve was stunned and looked up at Li Xian.
Li Xian smiled and said, "Ashina Jishi will really be willing to marry Duoduo to Luo Yi's son?" Ashina went to Hu to propose this idea, and it seemed that he was extremely stupid! Think about it, if Duoduo is really sent to Youzhou, what is Luo Yi afraid of? If the Turks go south, Luo Yi can threaten Ashina Jishi to withdraw his troops with just Duoduo, can't Ashina Jishi think of it? Ashina's plan to kill two birds with one stone and two eagles, he thinks he is very smart, but who can he hide? ”
"If Luo Yi threatens Ashina Jishi with flowers, Ashina Jishi will be in a dilemma! If he doesn't retreat, he will lose a daughter, and he is also a saint on the steppe, if something happens to Duoduo, the entire steppe will be full of voices questioning the Turkic Khan! If he withdraws his troops, Ashina Jishi will lose his prestige, and it will be difficult to gather all the tribes of the entire steppe to fight in the future. ”
"Ashina's first plot is the throne of the Turkic Khan, and the second plot is the Great Sui Dynasty!"
Li Xian sighed slightly: "How could that old fox of Ashina Jishi not think of this? Duoduo escaped in too much of a hurry, even if she didn't escape, Ashina Jishi would definitely not force her. And Duoduo escaped, maybe Ashina Jishi would be more relaxed. ”
"What do you mean?"
Ye Huai frowned and asked, "Let Duoduo return to the grassland and stop the Turkic army from going south?" ”
Li Xian slowly shook his head and said seriously: "Duoduo is a pure girl, and she should not be involved in these conspiracies. I want her to go back because Gesang Meduo on the grassland has so much herdsmen's love and love that she is really safe. ”
"I still don't get it."
Ye Huaisleeve asked, "What if Ashina goes to Hu and threatens Duoduo again?" ”
Li Xian chuckled and said, "The Turkic army has already moved south, do you think Ashina can go back alive?" The Turkic Khan was already old, and how could he be at ease if he did not remove the threat of his son succeeding to the throne before he died? ”
