Gently took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his chin, and said to Yun Chu: "There is no problem with the sixteen guards of Chang'an, there will always be credible news from Luoyang, as for the garrisons in other places, it is not within our reach." ”

Yun Chu sighed and said, "In other words, except for Chang'an and Luoyang, the armies in the rest of the places may be our enemies, right?" ”

Nodding gently, he said: "Ten Tang Dao, Li Ji has led the six marching generals, and more than thirty percent of the generals above the Tang Dynasty have heard of it under his command, and you said that in addition to Chang'an and Luoyang, all military states other than Chang'an and Luoyang have Li Ji's manpower, which makes perfect sense." ”

Di Renjie said: "In this way, we are not opponents at all. ”

Said gently: "The tiger is dead, not to mention that this tiger is only old and not dead."

However, it is not without ways to deal with him, such as transferring his old man's majesty and prestige in the army to His Majesty.

It's just that the consequences of doing so are very serious, no matter what happens to Li Ji in the future, we will definitely become martyrs. ”

Di Renjie said with a smile: "It seems that we have encountered a big problem, otherwise the army will be in danger." ”

Gently shook his head and said, "It's not cost-effective for us to spend the same age and die with such an old thief." ”

Yun Chu smiled: "We can't beat the old ones, can't we beat the small ones?" Now we are waiting for the old guy to make a move, as long as we are damaged, we must immediately find it back on Xu Jingye. ”

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Now that the idea has been decided, I am going to start funding Zhang Cambodia, he has recently been suppressed by Xu Jingye in the Huangshui River Valley, and his life is very bad." ”

Gently frowned and said: "This person is very ambitious, don't raise a tiger and become a troublemaker." ”

Di Renjie said: "As long as he is given food, he can recruit a lot of Tuyuhun people, and the more food he gives, the more Tuyuhun people he will recruit."

What's more, Lou Shide made a huge and friendless reclamation land in Ganzhou, Hexi, and just used the grain there to exchange yaks, war horses, and sheep with Zhang Khanzhi. ”

Yun Chu said: "Didn't you say that Zhang Cambodia's life was not easy? Where did he get the yaks, horses and sheep? ”

Di Renjie patted his big belly and said leisurely: "Then I don't care, if he wants food, he must exchange these things with me." ”

Gently drank saliva and shook his head and said: "He can only rob, over the years, Chang'an City has attracted people who can be called rich in Tuyuhun, and also replaced their cattle, sheep, and war horses with houses in Chang'an, you say, where did Zhang Cambodia go to rob?" ”

Di Renjie patted his belly and said: "There will always be sheep, as long as there are sheep, there will definitely be wolves, these two groups are the symbiotic relationship that Yun Chu said."

Zhang Cambodia is a wolf, if he wants to be full, if he wants to feed more wolves, he can only track the sheep, anyway, what we want is yaks, war horses, and sheep, and when the time comes, the war horses will pay off the prince, and the cattle and sheep will stay to supply the appetite that Chang'an City will never be able to feed. ”

The three of them discussed it for a while, and the matter was settled.

Li Ji is a flawless opponent for Yun Chu and them, but a gentleman can deceive him.

Xu Jingye is Li Ji's biggest weakness.

The reason why Li Ji made an unprecedented move against Yun Chu and them was for Xu Jingye.

Xu Jingye was really broken by Yun Chu, so he didn't dare to develop in the Hexi area.

At the same time, Xu Jingye was broken by the famous Tubo general Non Qinling, and he did not dare to flow to the Sun Moon Mountain and the Inverted River.

From Qinghai, you can also directly enter the Western Regions, Xu Jingye did not choose this path, and it seems that he also has a deep fear of the Anxi army.

Therefore, this guy chose to cross the wasteland and head south, preparing to plot the desolate edge of Xishu, where there are deep valleys of rivers, plateau meadows, swamps, and inaccessible forests.

There is no one there, at most there are some ancient Qiang people and Tubo people living there, Yun Chu once didn't understand why Xu Jingye took the initiative to develop there, could it be that it was because it was difficult for outsiders to enter because the mountains and rivers were high there?

This is obviously an act of preparing to be a hermit, or to occupy the mountain as a king there, Yun Chu, Gentle, Di Renjie and the three of them thought for a long time that if Xu Jingye went there with his men, it would be really difficult to do.

Sending a large army to hunt down such a land of poor mountains and rivers is completely stupid without any possibility of recovering the capital.

Today's territory of the Tang Dynasty, there are many such closed small countries, whether it is the jungle of Nanzhao, or the dense tropical rainforest, or those desolate islands, there are such existences, even the 100,000 mountains in Qianzhong Road are also claimed to have 100,000 heroes, just because there is no need for the Tang Dynasty to conquer, so it has to be like this.

Zhang Cambodia was stationed in Chang'an with the messenger, and he had been begging Yun Chu for their support for him, and now, the messenger had received accurate news, and he could not wait for tomorrow, and he would leave in the afternoon of the same day.

After thinking about it, Yun Chu still prepared a gift and sent a greeting post, hoping to talk to Gong Ying once.

As a result, the prayer post sent in the morning was sent back at noon, and the reason the housekeeper said was that Ying Gong was unwell.

Obviously, Li Ji still maintains his previous style, at least, he has no interest in going around in circles with Yun Chu.

Jiang Guizhi is old and spicy, he is talking about people like Li Ji, from the moment he put out the carriage and horses to send cattle to the prince, he didn't hide his meaning, everything was on the surface, so that you could see it clearly.

Even now, Yun Chu still has some doubts that have not been solved - Li Ji, a veteran who has fought for the Tang Dynasty all his life, Huanghuang Datang, is a portrayal of his life's work, will he really give up the name he has fought for all his life for the sake of Xu Jingye, an unsuccessful descendant?

With this question in mind, Yun Chu was ready to find Li Ji's old friends to find out if there were any other possibilities.

So, Yun Chu sent the gift originally prepared for Yinggong to Liang Jianfang's house along with the post.

Because of gout, Liang Jianfang, who had cut off one foot and was about to drink, was already very old, barely saw Yun Chu, and most of the time he lay on the brocade couch panting.

Seeing him like this, Yun Chu didn't say anything else, just told this stubborn veteran about Liang Ying's future.

This is Liang Jianfang's favorite topic, and he never gets tired of listening to it, even if it is difficult to breathe, the old guy still told Yun Chu the news that Liang Ying led his troops to suppress bandits in Taihang Mountain and returned with a great victory.

At that moment, Liang Jianfang's cloudy eyes were very bright, as if he had regained his youth at that moment, and he could dominate the world with three thousand iron armor...... It was only when he was stuck in his throat by a mouthful of thick phlegm, and the maids on both sides slapped and sucked before he saved his life.

When Yun Chu said goodbye and left, Liang Jianfang suddenly said: "I have become a wasted person, I can't help anything, you can't help here, and Yinggong can't help me, so you can treat me as a dead person." ”

Yun Chu took the old man's hand and said: "No one dares to treat you as a dead man, a certain family now has a horse, a horse lance can already be said to be invincible in the world, just a character like me, who was also driven by you with a hammer back then There is no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, if anyone dares to treat you as a dead man, he will be smashed with eight hundred hammers first." ”

Liang Jianfang said with a smile: "I can't smash it, but if you have something, you can go to Lao Su and tell him, he really wants to command thousands of troops and horses and die on the battlefield." ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Now that the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, there is not much use for it, the military affairs of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have changed from resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, and later to expanding the territory, and now they are only responsible for local security, I can't think of a place where there can be used to Su Gong's horse." ”

Liang Jianfang said in a low voice: "Think of a way, that old guy still wants to go to the Western Regions to be the protector of the Western Regions."

In short, he just didn't want to die of old age in Chang'an, nor did he want to die of old age in Luoyang, or even want to die of old age anywhere in Guannei, he just wanted to be wrapped in horse leather and dragged back by the grain truck for burial. ”

Yun Chu nodded silently, although he didn't know what method he could have to send Su Dingfang to the Western Regions as the protector of the capital, he still nodded.

Although Liang Jianfang is old and dying, his head is still very sober, although Li Ji and Su Dingfang do not seem to have such a harmonious relationship on the surface, but Li Ji's biggest arm in the army is Su Dingfang.

If Yun Chu had a way to get Su Dingfang to go to the Western Regions to be the protector of Anxi, then it would definitely be equivalent to cutting off one of Li Ji's arms.

It's just that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, if there is no traitor in the Western Regions, the emperor will definitely not agree to send out the only few invincible old commanders in the Tang army.

On the way home, I passed through Suzaku Street, and the twenty-four bronze bulls were shining in the sunset, especially the position of the cow's eggs, which had long been touched by the women of Chang'an.

I don't know when it began, some bored people said that often touching the eggs of these sacred cows will help to get pregnant and have children.

In Yun Chu's view, the bronze bull is not successful, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is the male symbol of the city of Chang'an, that is, there is nothing to do, and a large flock of pigeons will always fly, buzzing around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda with a pigeon whistle.

In August, Chang'an City entered the category of autumn tigers, the air pressure was very low, and the clouds were also very low, which provided the greatest convenience for the appearance of burning clouds.

Therefore, when the sun is about to set on the top of the mountain, large white clouds will be burned by the sun to a fiery red, which is very magnificent.

August is also the busiest time for the weavers, when the sun sets, it is also the time for them to get off work, so on Suzaku Street and even in the surrounding markets, there are many weavers wearing blue cotton dresses and white hats, they either walk in groups of twos and threes, or go into the market in groups to shop.

In general, they all had smiles on their faces, and their voices were louder than those of ordinary women in Chang'an City.

Seeing these cheerful women, Yun Chu suddenly felt that Li Ji's matter was not a big deal, after all, what he had done had been completely reflected on the faces of these women.

I have made a great contribution to Datang society, who is afraid?
