Chapter 226: Three Pieces of Information
Li Jiangyao saw that Tanli was calm and talking, but he didn't ask why he didn't live the baron's free life in the Western Frontier, but ran all the way to Tongguan to lead people to attack him, and couldn't help but secretly admire that the second Turkic prince could really calm down. Li Jiangyao smiled faintly and deliberately made his words clear: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we didn't meet by chance." Truth be told, I'm here for you. ”
Stanley was not nervous, with a sincere expression of "ten thousand understanding" on his face, and nodded: "I know, I know." Not only that, but the younger brother also knows the purpose of His Excellency the Baron's coming to me. ”
"Oh, tell me, why did I come to you?"
"If you're not mistaken, you should want to kill the little brother, right?"
"Hehe, Your Highness understands people."
"I don't just understand, little brother, I can't even think clearly about why I died."
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Li Jiangyao hugged his shoulders and asked with interest: "Your Highness and Li haven't seen each other for a long time, and they can immediately understand the cause of their death, so I should ask for advice." ”
Tanley looked around and calmly replied, "It's not hard to guess." When I was in Metasequoia City in Western Xinjiang, you and my brothers met late and had a very happy conversation, not only did they not have any beams, but they also formed a deep friendship. Therefore, the baron specially found the younger brother today, and it was definitely not out of personal vendetta. Let's all know it by heart, the baron's fierce loyalty to Saint Tang cannot be shaken by a small title, everything you have done before is just a plan to preserve the rights and interests of strength. ”
Li Jiangyao listened with a smile on his face, and did not answer Tanli's words, but waited for the other party to continue.
Tanley didn't seem to pay any attention to the evil stars around him, and continued to talk eloquently: "Now that our two countries have started a full-scale war, His Excellency Baron is concerned about Saint Tang, so naturally he can't stay out of the matter and settle in the small city of Metasequoia. Now that you have returned to your homeland, you must be hoping to serve your country, and the courage and loyalty behind this are truly admirable to my younger brother. As for why you came to find your little brother's bad luck, it's probably because of my unlucky identity now, Turkic envoy, right? ”
Li Jiangyao nodded with a smile: "Since His Royal Highness can have such an awareness, it is not necessary for Li to bother to speak." It's easier to deal with smart people, and next, please let Your Highness go on the road with peace of mind. ”
"Slow and slow!" Stanley raised his hands, stopped the Reverse Scale Division spy who was about to step forward to make a move, licked his face and smiled: "The life of the younger brother is already in the hands of the eldest brother, why rush for a while?" This ghost place, there is no village in front of the village, there is no store in the back, I can't escape, and no one pays attention to shouting, so it's better to wait for a while, wait for me to say a few words, and then make a decision after the baron brother listens, okay? ”
Li Jiangyao made a gesture to ask his subordinates to wait, and then said to Tan Li: "Your Highness, you must not deliberately delay because you are greedy for life and afraid of death, so that you destroy your good image in Li's heart and make me despised." ”
Tanley shook his head helplessly: "Hey, it's normal for people to be greedy for life and afraid of death, if you can live well, why rush to die?" But then again, no matter how unbearable the little brother is, he won't be so cheating and procrastinating, I just hope that he won't die in vain. As I guessed just now, the eldest brother of the baron must be trying to sabotage the cooperation between the Turkic Empire and Xie Guang, so he plans to kill the younger brother. If this is the case, the younger brother has a better proposal for you to refer to. If...... I mean, if the eldest brother can spare the younger brother's life, then Tanli swears to the heavens, not only take the initiative to sabotage the Turkic Xie Guang's cooperation, but also give three important pieces of information, big brother baron, do you think this deal can be done? ”
Li Jiangyao laughed and said, "Your Highness, you really want to make me look flat." Let you go back alive, will you fulfill this promise to open your eyes and tell nonsense, to sabotage the cooperation between the Turks and Xie Guang? Besides, what kind of important information can carry more weight than the Khan's own son? ”
Hearing this, Tanley shook his head again and again: "Big brother's words are wrong. The reason why you say this is because the authorities are confused and have not yet fully understood the situation. From the standpoint of Sheng Tang, it seems that the alliance between the Turks and Xie Guang will indeed bring catastrophic damage, but in fact? The younger brother thinks that this alliance is just a piece of shit, a piece of shitty shit, worthless! ”
Hearing him say this, everyone, including Li Jiangyao, couldn't help but be stunned.
Without waiting for Li Jiangyao to make a mockery, Tanli continued to explain: "The main reason why Father Khan sent me to find Xie Guang was that he was worried that when we attacked the imperial capital, he would suddenly shake hands with the Holy Tang Imperial Court and join forces to resist the enemy, and stab the Turkic army from behind, so that the battle situation was completely disrupted. Using the method of negotiation and alliance to temporarily stabilize the powerful Xuanjia Army is only our expedient measure. Father Khan has already made an evaluation, Xie Guang is a terrible poisonous snake, he can even betray his own country, how can he be loyal to us? Therefore, as soon as the battle of the imperial capital is over, the Turks will immediately attack Xie Guang. You say, such an alliance, what is it if it's not shit? ”
Tanley paused slightly, and sneered: "Moreover, there is a key point, I don't know if you have considered it, big brother baron?" A traitor like Xie Guang, once he colludes with foreign clans, then who will be willing to deal with him in the future? I'm afraid that even within their Xuanjia Army, there will be dissent immediately, and many Xuanjia soldiers will no longer continue to follow Xie Guang loyally. Wouldn't that be more beneficial to you? ”
Military affairs are the continuation of politics, and war is the escalation of political struggle. In the final analysis, the series of political games over power and land is the final foothold of all disputes, including military ones. Li Jiangyao is a soldier, and the Reverse Scale Division is a secret agent, they are both tools of politics, but they do not fully understand politics.
Tanley's words, only a few words, but suddenly woke up everyone present. The reason for this is also very simple, because he is talking about politics.
Li Jiangyao and the others firmly believed that the alliance between Xie Guang and the Turks was absolutely unacceptable, and they had to sabotage it. And this idea is purely based on military considerations: the imperial capital is weak, and the situation will be more difficult and dangerous if it is faced with two sides of the Turks and rebels. However, from a political point of view, it is true that the situation is as Tanley says, and Xie Guangming's blatant collusion with the Turks will only make him a traitor further betrayal.
In this way, wouldn't it be more conducive to crusade against him later?
Seeing that Li Jiangyao and the others had somewhat accepted his analysis, Tanli hurriedly continued: "Actually, Xie Guang is also aware of the seriousness of this problem. Therefore, he hopes that we will launch a fierce attack on the imperial capital and help him contain the Shengtang army, so that the Xuanjia army can get a chance to breathe and take advantage of the situation to quickly increase its strength. At the same time, Xie Guang was worried that the alliance would be known to the world, which would be very detrimental to his reputation, and eventually become a street rat that everyone shouted at. Therefore, he also made a cheeky request to me if he could keep the matter of the alliance between the two sides secret. As far as the younger brother is concerned, I have long figured out the details of this old fellow, and even if he does not reach an alliance, he will not dare to start a war against us now. Ladies and gentlemen, in this case, of course I can take the initiative to sabotage this matter, it's not a lie! ”
Li Jiangyao raised his eyes to look at Zhou Xing and the others next to him, and saw that they all nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Tanli's words, so he smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness, you are not a loss to be the number one negotiator in the Turks, and you are really clever and eloquent." However, even if you don't have Xie Guang's, you are also very precious to us. Don't forget, you just said that the Turks are preparing to attack the imperial capital, will I easily let you go? ”
"The younger brother understands that when doing business, you have to pay attention to value for money." Tanley also smiled and said: "So, in addition to helping you kill Xie Guang, I also prepared three important pieces of information as a gift, please take a look at the baron, can it be worth my little life?" ”
"Oh? Let's hear about it first. ”
Seeing that there was a play, Tanli said word by word: "The first piece of information is about Lao Jianhua's secret. ”
As soon as he heard the words "Lao Jianhua", the eyes of the secret agents of the Reverse Scale Division all lit up. This person is not only the number one traitor of Beiya, the great enemy of Shen Lie in the long history, but also the key figure behind the rebellion in Western Xinjiang, Xie Guang's rebellion, Turkic invasion and other events.
His secret is incomparably precious.
Li Jiangyao shook his head quietly, saying that he didn't care much about this information.
Tan Li blinked his eyes and thought for a while: "The second piece of information is about the mystery of the life history of Li Bing, the crown prince of the Holy Tang Dynasty. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Li Jiangyao, was shocked. The mystery of the crown prince Li Bing's life experience? What's so mysterious about this? Could it be that Li Bing is not the son of the first emperor Li Chengwen?
Everyone's reaction fell into their eyes, and Tanli couldn't help but feel a little proud, and nodded at Li Jiangyao with a smile.
Li Jiangyao quickly regained his calm expression and shook his head again, saying that this information didn't matter to him and was not valuable.
A hint of cunning flashed in Thanri's eyes, and he cursed secretly in his heart. He knew that Li Jiangyao was a local warlord who killed people without blinking, and if he really wanted to kill himself, there would be no psychological obstacles. It seems that if you don't catch Li Jiangyao's mind, you will definitely not be able to escape death today.
Tanley sank and confidently said his third piece of information: "Brother Baron, the last news is about your master. The younger brother knows who is the real murderer of Commander He Jingming. ”
"What?!" Li Jiangyao finally couldn't help but change his face.
