Chapter 481: The Truth Revealed

"Hmph, you negotiated peace with Li Li in private, and gave the state capital south of Jiaozhou to Li Li, betraying the country to seek glory, it is really a crime that deserves death, and everyone will be punished!" Wu Qian stared at Li Yuntian with a frosty mask, gritted her teeth and said, looking like she hated Li Yuntian to the core.

"Haha......" Li Yuntian immediately laughed when he heard this, he knew that Wu Qian regarded him as a despicable villain who betrayed the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and this would directly bring disaster to the Zhancheng State.

It can be expected that once Li Li has gained a firm foothold in Jiaozhi, then the next step will be to attack Zhancheng in the south, in order to repay the revenge of Zhancheng and seize the southern part of Annan when the Ming army pacified Annan, and then seize the land of Zhancheng.

Therefore, the Champa state is the last person who wants to see Le Le win the war of Jiaozhi, and after the tempering of the war of Jiaozhi, the army of the Cham state will not be able to withstand the offensive of the rebels under Le Li.

In the eyes of the outside world, the Ming army fought back under the leadership of Li Yuntian, and gained a firm foothold in Jiaozhi after three victories: conquering Anliang County, the ambush of Luoyepo and recovering Langjiang Mansion, and formed a confrontation with the rebels, so that the rebels did not dare to act rashly.

But Li Yuntian knew that Wu Qian would never think like this, she must have guessed that the reason why the Ming army and the rebels stopped fighting was because there was a secret agreement between General Dingnan and Li Li, otherwise she would not have gone to Xiaohe Town to see Li Li, let alone the strange retreat of Qinghua, and the Ming army's light forgiveness of Jiangfu.

Therefore, Wu Qian misunderstood that he wanted to negotiate peace with Li Li, so for the sake of the future of the city state, Wu Qian had to find a way to get rid of General Dingnan, and then blame Li Li, so that the Ming Dynasty continued to use troops against Jiaozhi and eradicated Li Li in one fell swoop.

"Miss Wu, do you think Li Li is worthy of going to Xiaohe Town to negotiate peace with him in person?" After laughing, Li Yuntian looked at Wu Qian, who was staring at him with interest, and asked playfully.

"This is what this girl has seen with her own eyes!" Wu Qian sneered, and replied in a cold voice, "After you left Qinghua City, this girl and the rebels entered the city, Li Ge uncharacteristically strictly ordered his subordinates not to pursue, and as far as this girl knows, the rebels withdrew from Langjiang Mansion unscathed, how can these two strange things happen if you don't negotiate peace with Li Li?" ”

"You're right, this official did reach an armistice agreement with Li Li." Li Yuntian did not deny the facts stated by Wu Qian, so he said quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "But why do you conclude that this official betrayed the country to seek glory and betrayed the interests of the Ming Dynasty in Jiaozhi?" ”

"If you hadn't betrayed the country for glory, how would Li Li let you go, and with the little strength you had in Jiaozhi, would you be an opponent of the rebels?" Wu Qian glared at Li Yuntian coldly, her words full of contempt.

"Yes, if it weren't for the official who went to Xiaohe Town, I'm afraid that Jiaozhi would be Lili's world by now!" Li Yuntian nodded when he heard this, and said meaningfully.

"Humph!" Wu Qian thought that Li Yuntian had admitted it, so she couldn't help but snort coldly, and said through gritted teeth, "If I knew your intentions at that time, this girl would definitely not let you leave Xiaohe Town alive!" ”

"Miss Wu, have you ever thought that if it weren't for our general soldier who went to Xiaohe Town to stabilize the bandit leader Li Li, the rebels would have all occupied Jiaozhi."

At this time, Lei Ting, who was standing on the side, couldn't hold back any longer, and couldn't help but say, "Jiaozhi is just a remote barbarian land, do you think Daming will make a big fight for it." ”

"To tell you the truth, Li Li has already asked the court to surrender to the table, and found a descendant of the Chen dynasty of the Annan Kingdom, and wants the emperor to crown him the king of Annan." As she spoke, Lei Ting stared at the puffing Wu Qian with a frosty face, "If the Chief Soldier and Li Li are forced to carry it, do you know what the consequences will be?" ”

Wu Qian couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard this, vaguely she heard the hidden meaning from Lei Ting's words, and couldn't help but look at Li Yuntian suspiciously, could it be that Li Yuntian did this with another hidden reason?

"Jiaozhi is the territory opened up by Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, how can I give it up lightly, otherwise wouldn't I have become a sinner through the ages?" Now, Li Yuntian didn't want to go around in circles with Wu Qian, his face was pale, and he said to her with a stern expression.

"You mean...... Are you perfunctory? Wu Qian's eyes were suddenly full of surprise, and she looked incredulous, you must know that Li Yuntian is a dignified general of Dingnan, and he should be right.

"The art of war is cloudy, soldiers are not tired of deceit, as long as they can get the final victory, this officer does not mind personal honor and disgrace!" Li Yuntian saw Wu Qian's shocked look, so he smiled slightly and replied calmly.

"But...... But you couldn't sleep and eat in Xiaohe Town at that time, is it all fake? Wu Qian came back to her senses when she heard this, and looked at Li Yuntian with a stunned expression, but she clearly remembered Li Yuntian's anxious and worried appearance when he was in Xiaohe Town.

"If this official doesn't do this, how can Li Li and Ruan Yan believe this official?" Li Yuntian bowed slightly, smiled and asked rhetorically.

Wu Qian was stunned for a moment, if Li Yuntian couldn't even deceive her, how could she deal with Li Li and Ruan Yan, the two old foxes, it seemed that she greatly underestimated Li Yuntian's intelligence, and stood there with a slight frown, feeling that she was too stupid, and she couldn't see through Li Yuntian's intention to negotiate with Li Li.

"What you said is true?" After pondering for a while, Wu Qian asked Li Yuntian tentatively, she was a little reluctant to give up, and wanted to get a clear answer from Li Yuntian.

"Absolutely." Li Yuntian nodded solemnly to Wu Qian, then frowned slightly, and said worriedly, "It's a pity that the rebels are now full-fledged and powerful, and it won't happen overnight to exterminate them." ”

"Brother Fan...... No, Lord Commander-in-Chief, the rebellion of Li Li has put the people of Jiaozhi in a state of fire and water, and the king of my Zhancheng country is willing to do his part for the great Ming Dynasty. Wu Qian's eyes couldn't help but light up when she heard this, and she hurriedly bowed her hand to Li Yuntian, and said in a coquettish voice at the right time, "However, the Zhancheng State is small and powerful, and it can't afford to fight such a heavy war, I hope that the Ming Dynasty will give me a reward for the Zhancheng State at that time, and the whole country of Zhancheng will be grateful for the grace of the Heavenly Empire." ”

"Miss Wu, the official has no right to intervene in the relationship between the two countries, but the official will play the heart of the king of Champa to the emperor." Li Yuntian's eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, and then he said quietly, "I don't know what kind of reward the king of your country wants?" ”

"Hue and Shenghua in the south of Cochin were originally occupied by us, but were later occupied by the king of Annam, and our king hopes that after the Ming Dynasty quelled the rebellion in Cochin, these two places can be rewarded to our country, and our people will be grateful."

Wu Qian's face couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, and she suppressed her excitement and put forward a condition to Li Yuntian, and then added, "At that time, the king of our country will definitely mobilize the strength of the whole country to conquer Li Li. ”

"Okay, I promise you." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment and nodded to Wu Qian, "If the king of your country can help the Ming Dynasty exterminate Li Li, then this official believes that the emperor will be able to give him a rich reward." ”

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief." Wu Qian's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of excitement when she heard this, and she hurriedly bowed to Li Yuntian.

"It's just a gesture, and besides, this official also hopes to exterminate the rebels in Jiaozhi as soon as possible, and restore peace to the people of Jiaozhi!" Li Yuntian waved his hand to Wu Qian disapprovingly, and then remembered something, and said in a deep voice, "However, this matter is a matter of importance, and this official has no evidence, if the king of your country can personally report to the court and ask Ying to quell the rebellion in Jiaozhi, then this official feels that this matter will become much easier." ”

"It's nature." Wu Qian didn't think about it, and agreed in one bite, after all, this is a matter between the two countries, Li Yuntian is just a general of Dingnan, and he can't control the diplomatic relations between the Ming Dynasty and the southwestern countries.

"Miss Wu, can you give an antidote to save the life of the official's stand-in." Seeing this, a subtle smile flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, and he said loudly.

"I'm going to detoxify him." Wu Qian then remembered the supposed General Nan who was already in danger, and couldn't help but reach out and pat his forehead, and then hurriedly went to explain it to the supposed General Nan.

"Big brother, do you really want to give Hue Mansion and Shenghua Mansion to Champong?" After Wu Qian left, Lei Ting couldn't suppress the doubts in her heart, and asked Li Yuntian tentatively, which didn't seem to be in line with Li Yuntian's plan for the Indochina Peninsula.

"The eldest brother said before, Jiaozhi is the territory opened up by Emperor Taizong for my Ming Dynasty, how can the eldest brother give away Hue Mansion and Shenghua Mansion to others."

Li Yuntian immediately smiled when he heard this, got up and walked to the window to look at the stars that kept twinkling in the sky, and said lightly, "This official has made it very clear just now, the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, but she still believes in the eldest brother driven by greed, this is no wonder about the eldest brother, she is a foreigner, and the eldest brother can't tell her the truth." ”

"Big brother, do you want to take the city of Zhan?" Lei Ting couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, she felt that Li Yuntian would not do this, but unfortunately Wu Qian was too persistent in her heart, and was deceived by Li Yuntian, and then she suddenly realized something, and immediately looked at Li Yuntian with a surprised expression.

Lei Ting knows very well that Li Yuntian is bound to win the Indochina Peninsula, and now that Li Yuntian has involved Zhancheng, there is a chance that he will take advantage of this incident to attack Zhancheng.

It has to be said that the location of the city is very important, located at the southeast end of the Indochina Peninsula, and is an important transit point for trade between the Ming Dynasty and the South Seas.

"You say, if Li Li intercepted the king of Champa to the court, hoping to send troops north to help the official army quell the rebellion in Jiaozhi, how would he react?"

Hearing this, Li Yuntian slightly bowed his head to confirm Lei Ting's guess, and after a deep groan, he looked at the stars in the night sky and asked casually.
