Chapter 388: Loyalty and Betrayal
In December of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Xin led the army to Daxing City, and set up a large camp in the south of the city, and then Qin Qiong led 50,000 troops to rush over, making Li Xin's army reach 100,000 people.
Although it was about to celebrate the New Year, the confrontation between the two armies outside the city still filled the city with a tense atmosphere, and the acting king and many ministers discussed in the main hall all day long, hoping to find a good solution. It's a pity that although Wei Xuan and others have the heart to solve this matter, Dugu Huai'en, Wei Yuancheng and other members of the Guan Long family are not enthusiastic about this matter, and they don't say a word in the court.
"Mother." The acting king's whole person was thin, and the two armies outside the city looked like they were assisting him, but everyone knew that neither Li Xin nor Li Yuan really assisted him. The hateful thing is that in the court, Yang Yu, a child, can't find anyone who can help him.
"Lord Wei Xuan has always been good?" Weaver also looked haggard, she didn't know what her fate would be once the city was breached? She is the crown princess of Prince Yuande, young and beautiful, once she falls into the hands of the enemy, what will happen, Wei Fuer can't imagine it, will Daxing Wei help him? Coming from a wealthy family, Weaver knew it was just a luxury. The Wei family will definitely not help themselves, otherwise, there would not be Li Yuan's soldiers coming to the city today.
"Teacher Wei is sick." Yang Yu hurriedly said.
"I didn't expect that even Wei Xuan felt helpless." After listening to this, Wei Fu'er knew that whether Wei Xuan was a real illness or a fake illness, at least one thing was true, that is, Wei Xuan couldn't solve the matter in front of him.
"Mother, you said that if I want to Xuan Li Yuan and Li Xin enter the palace. Canonized Li Yuan as the king of Tang and prime minister, and Li Xin as the king of Liang and generalissimo. Will they say yes? The acting king suddenly tilted his head and said.
Wei Fu'er was stunned, looked at Yang Yu and said, "Who taught you this strategy?" ”
"Yes, it's uncle." Yang Yu didn't dare to hide it, and said: "He said that this is a way to keep the two in balance, and let Li Yuan and Li Xin fight among themselves, but they take their armies as their own and serve my Great Sui together." ”
"Hmph, I'm afraid they want to be left and right!" Wei Fu'er immediately saw the Wei family's intentions, they didn't really want to help Yang Yu. Instead, let Yang Yu play with fire, but Wei himself benefited a lot in it, because whether it was Li Xin or Li Yuan, if they wanted to gain a firm foothold in Daxing City or Guanzhong, they had to have a good relationship with the Wei family, win over the Wei family, and the Wei family took the opportunity to gain benefits in it. As for the life or death of Wei Fuer or Yang Yu, no one will care about it.
"My son, Li Yuan must not enter the city, if he enters the city, it means that Daxing City has fallen into Li Yuan's hands. The so-called balance, if you don't have an army in your hands, how can you balance, neither of them will listen to you. Merriam-Webster is not thinking about you, he's thinking about himself. Weaver said angrily.
"What about Li Xin?" Yang Yu couldn't wait to ask.
"Li Xin?" There was a complicated look in Weaver's eyes. What she couldn't forget was Li Xin's fiery eyes, which contained an aura of aggression, and Wei Fu'er also felt a throbbing in her heart, thinking of this, she took a deep breath and said, "Li Xin, this person is not credible, but it is available." Yu'er, remember that today, no one can believe it, and it can't be trusted, Li Yuan is like this, and Li Xin is like this. ”
"What about Teacher Wei?" Yang Yu asked again.
"He's an old fox, don't think he's loyal to you, otherwise, you won't pretend to be sick." Wei Fu'er said disdainfully: "You wait in the palace, and I will go to see Li Xin." If Li Yuan enters the palace and becomes the emperor, you and my mother and son will lose their lives, and the same is true for him Li Xin, Li Xin has to rely on us, and similarly, we also need Li Xin, and the two sides will unite to deal with the attack of the Guan Long family. ”
"Will Li Xin agree?" Yang Yu said with some skepticism.
"He'll say yes." Wei Fu'er's eyes showed firmness, Li Yuan entered the Guanzhong, Wei Fu'er knew that Wei had betrayed him, a Wei Fu'er who was abandoned by the family, has now put all his thoughts on himself and Yang Yu, as long as he can save the power and lives of the two, Wei Fu'er is willing to pay more.
"Oh! If only Grandpa were here. Yang Yu sighed. Although he is now in charge of the affairs of Guanzhong, he is only a acting king in the end, if Yang Guang is still in Guanzhong, where does he need to worry about it.
"It's better to ask for others than for yourself, even if the emperor is here." Wei Fu'er is well aware of the current situation, even if Yang Guang comes here, there is no way to solve the matter in front of him.
"Yu'er, you go back to rest first, and my mother will go to see Li Xin." Wei Fu'er bit her silver teeth lightly, as if she had made up her mind, sent Yang Yu out, and then said to the palace maid on the side: "Bathe and change clothes." ”
"Yes." The palace maid naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bathed and changed her clothes for Wei Fuer. An hour later, when it was already dark, a carriage drove from the palace gate into the heavenly street and headed south for the Ande Gate.
In a mansion in Daxing City, Wei Xuan leaned on the bed, his face was pale, his eyes were blank, and the whole person lost weight, Wei Xuan was not a fake illness, he was really sick, the huge court, he came to support it, and now Wei Xuan finally couldn't support it, there were Li Yuan and Li Xin two armies outside, in Daxing City, the dark tide was surging, and the Guan Long family was also gearing up, ready to receive Li Yuan's army into Daxing City at any time.
"Lord Dugu, I didn't expect you to come to my mansion, what's the matter, do you want to see if the old man is dead?" Wei Xuan looked at Dugu Huaien in front of him and sneered: "The Great Sui Dynasty is not thin on your Dugu family!" Unexpectedly, at this time, you also abandoned Da Sui, haha, if Queen Dugu saw this scene, I don't know what kind of mood she would have. ”
"Master Wei, those who know the times are Junjie, and the Dugu family has no choice. The imperial court has reached the last moment, not to mention that all anti-kings are eyeing each other, even Li Yuan and Li Xin outside the city are not good things. If Li Yuan enters the city, the old man can still keep his name, and if Li Xin enters the city, will he still spare the lives of you old people? Dugu Huaien not only did not have any embarrassment and guilt on his face, but still looked at Wei Xuan very proudly and said: "If you are obedient, Li Yuan will definitely be grateful to you, if you resist, do you think that without our support, Li Xin can enter Daxing City?" ”
Wei Xuan hesitated, it was just as Dugu Huaien said, Li Yuan's support for the Long family, it was still easy to enter Daxing City, but Li Xin was different, without the support of the family, even if he entered Daxing City, he would not support it for too long. Just let him betray Yang Yu like this, and he couldn't pass this hurdle in his heart.
"Li Xin has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, can you resist? Don't think that Li Yuan can occupy the Jingshi, you are different from Li Xin, Li Xin's backyard is very clean, and no one can shake his foundation, but Li Yuan is different, there is still Liu Wuzhou in the back, and there are Turks, how many soldiers and horses did Li Yuan leave behind in Bingzhou? Li Yuan is here, if there is a problem with Bingzhou, how can Li Yuan be good, if I am Li Xin, I will divide the army, a soldier and horse will be stationed under Daxing City, and a part of it will take a detour to attack Bingzhou. Wei Xuan said with a smile.
Dugu Huaien's face changed after hearing this, and he suddenly became nervous, Li Yuan left the Zhenbei general Li Yuanji to guard Taiyuan, in fact, there were not many soldiers and horses for Li Yuanji, and there was also a Qu Tutong in Hedong, if Li Xin really attacked the state, Li Yuanji may not be able to stop the joint attack of Li Xin and Qu Tutong, and Li Yuan, who lost the state, is rootless and only duckweed, which will not play a big role at all, even if it is the support of the Long family.
"Li Xin won't do what you say." Dugu Huaien suddenly came to his senses and said: "Li Xin is upright and upright, and he is not willing to take risks, and his army leaves Guanzhong, which is also a lack of food and grass, and he may not be able to hold out to Taiyuan." ”
Wei Xuan sat there without speaking, Dugu Huaien glanced at Wei Xuan, and finally, gritted his teeth and said: "If Li Yuan can enter Daxing City, he will worship the old man as the king of Wuwei County, hereditary replacement, the Wei family will always sit in Wuwei, what does the old man think?" If the boss doesn't believe it, he can make Li Yuan make an oath. As long as the boss can allow Li Yuan to enter the city. ”
Wei Xuan's eyes rolled, and there was a trace of struggle in his eyes, I have to say that Dugu Huaien's words still made him feel excited, he is already old, how many years can he support Wei's family? In the final analysis, it is Weiss who is the most important.
"What will happen to the Yin Clan?" Wei Xuan suddenly thought of something and asked nervously.
"Yin Shi Shishi, hum, killing people is not enough, Yin Shi Shi is too good at doing things, he will not end well, men who are taller than the wheels will be killed, as for women? Naturally, he was sold into the hero's family as a slave and a servant. Dugu Huaien said with a cold snort. After finishing speaking, he also glanced at Wei Xuan, the Yin World Master dug Li Yuan's ancestral grave, if there was no Wei Xuan's support here, the Yin World Master probably would not have done this. Dugu Huaien is talking about the Yin World Master, in fact, he is also talking about Wei Xuan.
"From now on, I will close the door of the mansion, if it is not necessary, Lord Dugu will not come to disturb me." Wei Xuan said lightly: "Lord Dugu, I hope that Tang Guogong's promise can be delivered soon." (To be continued......)
