Chapter 542: Xiao Yu persuaded to surrender
Liang Shuo didn't continue, but the people around him had already heard it very clearly, and didn't continue, Xiao Yu returned at this time, and was ready to let Xiao Mo return to Li Xin, and let Xiao Yuexian marry Li Xin, not only for Li Xin to expand Jiangnan's strength, but also for the things after the establishment of the Li Tang Dynasty, Princess Nanyang, Princess Yuerong, and even Xiao Yuexian, they all represent the interests of the Yang family and the Xiao family in Jiangnan in the previous dynasty. Xiao Yu is going to prepare for Li Xin's next generation.
Li Xin's face was calm, he may have been very angry about this kind of thing before, but now he is very calm, his current power is getting bigger and bigger, and the courtiers under his command are loyal to themselves at the same time, they are also thinking about serving the interests of their own family, and they will also elect new representatives of interests, Xiao Yu is like this, in the current court, the interests of the Xiao family cannot be reflected to the greatest extent, so they also need the best candidate, Princess Yuerong or Xiao Yuexian is the best representative. Xiao Miao's surrender not only represents him personally, but also the courtiers around him, such as Cen Wenwen is a master of scheming, and what Xiao Yu needs is the assistance of these courtiers. That's why he's leading this surrender.?
Jiangling City, Xiao Mo was also surprised by Xiao Yu's arrival, who is Xiao Yu, the head of the Xiao family, the younger brother of Xiao Hou, and Xiao Miao's uncle, Xiao Mo can become the commander of Luochuan County because of Xiao Yu. So after the news of Xiao Yu's arrival came, he personally led the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to greet him.
"Uncle." Xiao Mo looked at Xiao Yu, but saw that Xiao Yu was dressed in vermilion, her face was wrinkled, and Xiao Yu came in an official robe. Obviously, he came on behalf of Li Xin, which was an official identity, not as the head of the Xiao family.
"No need to be polite." Xiao Yu nodded. But he didn't look at the others, his eyes just looked at Cen Wenwen, nodded, and finally looked at Xiao Yuexian beside Xiao Mo, and his face showed joy.
"Uncle, please." Xiao Mo hurriedly invited Xiao Yu into the palace and sat down in the side hall. Xiao Yuexian accompanied her, and after the tea was served, there were only three people left in the hall.
"Hey! Jiangnan hasn't been back for a long time. Xiao Yu looked at the palace in front of him and sighed. Then he looked at Xiao Mo and said: "I didn't expect you to be able to achieve a career with a Luochuan county order, but the old man didn't expect it." ”
"Uncle, now Liang Caochuang. Manpower is scarce. The uncle is a great talent in the world and a clan, so it is better to come to Daliang and help his nephew, and he may not be able to re-establish the glory of Daliang in the future. When Xiao Yu heard Xiao Yu's words, his heart suddenly showed a hint of joy, he thought that Xiao Yu was going to follow the rhythm of the beam, if he could get Xiao Yu's help. The situation in the Great Liang Dynasty was much better.
"This time, the old man wants you to submit to Li Tang." Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Mo with pity. said: "The general trend is that the Empress Dowager has no choice, do you think you have many other ways?" ”
"Uncle, I respect your elders, who are we? After we are the Xiao family, we have the blood of the Xiao family, who is Li Xin? Li Xin is just a side concubine, with low blood, such a person can also become an emperor? Xiao Mo couldn't help but say loudly: "Uncle, you are willing to become Li Xin's courtier, but I am not willing." ”
"Stupid." Xiao Yu said very calmly: "How many soldiers and horses do you think you still have, the Prime Minister's three-way army is about to be killed, Qin Qiong's soldiers and horses have already left Kuizhou, and Du Fuwei's soldiers and horses are about to set off, how many soldiers and horses do you have to resist the three-way army, and how many generals do you have the ability to defeat Qin Qiong and Du Fuwei?" Don't tell the old man that it's your princes, I'm afraid these guys have already lost their sincerity to the prime minister now, thinking about how to use your head to ask the prime minister for credit! ”
"Impossible." Xiao Miao's face was stunned, and he quickly said loudly: "My courtiers are naturally loyal to me, if my uncle doesn't want to help his family, don't say it, I will treat it as if I have never seen my uncle, uncle, you better go!" For the sake of me and my uncle being the Xiao family, I won't embarrass my uncle, uncle, you can go. Xiao Miao's face was pale, he didn't expect that Xiao Yu was not here to help him, but to persuade him to surrender, which made him extremely angry in his heart, if it weren't for Xiao Yu is his uncle, I am afraid that he would be pulled out and beheaded immediately.
"I have already said in front of the prime minister, the prime minister can crown you as the prince of the country, and Yuexian can marry the prime minister as a concubine." Xiao Yu said very calmly: "The Xiao family must carry forward, just relying on the old man is not enough. ”
"Xiao Yu, don't say it, I won't rely on selling my daughter in exchange for glory and wealth, if Li Xin is really that powerful, let him take it himself, I will be waiting for him in Jiangling." Xiao Yu's eyes were red, and he stared at Xiao Yu deadly, if Xiao Yu just let himself submit to Li Xin, it would be okay, but he didn't expect to let him dedicate Xiao Yuexian to Li Xin, which made him very angry. Even Xiao Yuexian's face was not good-looking, and she glanced at Xiao Yu dissatisfied.
"Hey, current affairs are like this, who would dare to object?" After Xiao Yu heard this, he was not angry, he had already guessed about this situation, so he was not angry, but looked at Xiao Mo with some worry and said: "Remember, now you can't believe anyone, although your ambition is higher than the sky, but others are different from what you think, others can surrender, can be promoted and make a fortune, of course, some people will not, such as Zhang Xiu, such a person, the prime minister wants to vomit when he sees him." For you, it's better to go to Chang'an to be an idle prince. The old man's words have been said here, if you don't believe it, it's your business, and the old man is already worthy of the ancestors of the Xiao family. He didn't even drink the tea on the case, turned around and left, and walked out of the main hall.
Xiao Mo hadn't noticed this for a long time, but Xiao Yuexian sent Xiao Yu out. When Xiao Yuexian returned, she saw Xiao Mo sitting there with a gloomy face.
"Father." Xiao Yuexian walked in in a low voice.
"Hey, in fact, your uncle has a point, I can't descend, but other people's minds don't know." Xiao Mo sighed: "Don't look at our soldiers and horses, but how many can really play a role?" Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses can no longer be counted on, his soldiers and horses are the forwards, very close to Li Xin, the first is the target of Li Xin's attack, but he can also make eye contact with Li Xin, and he has now returned to Li Xin, hehe, the funny thing is that Li Xin doesn't look down on him at all. As for the others, Yan King Xu Xuanche led 20,000 troops to defend Qin Qiong, he may not be Qin Qiong's opponent! The simple thing is that Qin Qiong's soldiers and horses are still in Kuizhou, so it doesn't matter for the time being, and Du Fuwei's soldiers and horses will also take another month to encircle us, and we can only defeat Li Xin in a very short period of time before it is possible to gain a glimmer of life. ”
"What does Father mean?" Xiao Yuexian looked at Xiao Mo with round eyes.
"I'm ready to go on a personal expedition." Xiao Mo stood up and said, "I don't believe that Li Xin is really so powerful, can he really fight the invincible opponents in the world?" Yuexian, you are in Gangneung. ”
"Yes." Xiao Yuexian still had some trepidation in her heart, but she knew that Xiao Mo had no way to do it, only before he sat in the army, he could suppress the kings, at least those kings did not dare to blatantly oppose Xiao Miao.
"It's raining, Yuexian, remember, if something really goes wrong on the front line, you can go to Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu will help you." Xiao Mo looked outside, only to see that the weather outside was gloomy, as if a storm was coming, Xiao Yuexian stood beside Xiao Yu, her eyebrows were frowning very tightly, the country was shaking, and Xiao Yuexian's mood was also very heavy.
Outside the main hall, dark clouds were thick, the storm was coming, what Xiao Mo didn't know was that on the big river, hundreds of warships were moving slowly, braving the storm and descending in an instant, a general was wearing armor and standing on the bow of the big ship with a sallow face, looking into the distance. It was Qin Qiong, the general of Kuizhou, who had already braved the wind and rain to kill Jingzhou City.
"What's up ahead?" Qin Qiong summoned his own soldiers and said loudly, the storm has washed away the armor on his body, and the autumn weather makes the rain cold, but Qin Qiong can't feel this coldness, and feels that the blood in his body is boiling, he has been hiding in Kuizhou for a year, and getting rid of the training is shipbuilding, and today he can finally lead the army down the river, attack Xiao Miao, and start the road of exterminating many warlords.
"Back to the general, there is Jitu Island in front." The pro-soldier hurriedly said.
"Are there any soldiers and horses of Xu Xuanche on Jitu Island?" Qin Qiong asked loudly: He just chose to send troops on a rainy day, in order to make Xu Xuanche not realize that he was leading the army to kill.
"Yes, there is a squad to guard against our army going down the river." The pro-soldier hurriedly said. On the Yangtze River, there are a lot of sandbanks on the Yangtze River, Xu Xuanche in order to guard against Qin Qiong Tokyo, set up a lot of beacon towers on these sandbanks, once Qin Qiong leads the army to kill, the beacon fire will be ignited, Xu Xuanche will also lead the army to take precautions.
Qin Qiong chose to advance eastward at this time, because when it rains, the beacon fire is invisible, and it will also play a hidden role in the attack of the army, of course, the attack on a rainy day means that the danger will be intensified, and if you attack on the Yangtze River, there will be a danger of the ship capsizing and people if you don't pay attention to it. Only a desperate guy like Qin Qiong would do such a crazy thing.
"Qin Mu, lead a team of men and horses down to block the entire Jitu Island, so as not to be escaped from another direction." Qin Qiong's eyes flickered, and he said to the tooth general beside him. Qin Mu is the son of his housekeeper, acting as a tooth keeper in the army, although it is a rainstorm now, but he also has to be careful, in case he is discovered by the soldiers on the island, someone will definitely risk going to the next station to ventilate the news, if he doesn't get it right, he will be discovered by Xu Xuanche, and when the time comes, the surprise attack will become a strong attack, which is not the situation that Qin Qiong thought of encountering.
