Forty-seventh festival capricious(1/2)
Si Nan undoubtedly has a keen intuition. It is extremely direct to analyzing problems. Although sometimes it becomes a misunderstanding, she said that Pei Mingcui would not care about Xiao Buyi's country. This is very much for Xiao Buyi to agree with.
Pei Mingcui can kill, but she will never kill randomly. She doesn't want to have any intersection with Xiao Buyi's country.
But if Pei Mingcui hadn't poisoned her, who else would have poisoned her? What's the purpose?
Xiao Buyi couldn't figure it out, but he didn't want to think about it for the time being. Because no matter who wanted to kill Gao Yaxian, it was a good thing for him!
Seeing Xiao Buyi smile, Si Nan asked, "Who did you think of poisoning?"
"No!" Xiao Buyi smiled.
"Then why are you laughing at?" Si Nan frowned.
"There are too many things in this world that you can't think of. If you think about them one by one, even if you think about your hair and beard, there will be no result. So... we should put the limited time on something more meaningful."
Lu Laosan sighed: "The words and meanings of King Xiliang are shallow and profound. I admire them."
"Xiao Buyi. I don't have the obligation to compliment you by Lu Lao San. But I have to say it. What you said makes sense." Si Nan said seriously.
Lu Laosan had a bitter face. "Girl, I'm sincere."
Seeing Sinan glaring at him, Lu Laosan could only explain: "I mean. I praise King Xiliang with sincerity. I don't have that meaning to the girl."
Si Nan couldn't help but laugh. The sun was shining for a while.
Lu Laosan also laughed. "Girl, in fact, isn't it better to smile more than a person?"
Si Nan did not blame Lu Lao San for being troublesome this time. She just shook her head and asked, "Xiao Buyi... You are actually very smart. It's okay anyway. You might as well think about it again. You don't care who wants to poison Gao Yaxian to death. But the more I think about it, the more I feel there is mystery in it."
Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "I can't think of the mystery now. But I can be sure of it."
"What's sure?" Si Nan asked anxiously.
"I can be sure that the Hebei army is no longer a solid piece. I can buy the generals among them. In addition, some people can buy them." Xiao Buyi breathed comfortably. "It can be seen that Dou Jiande is not far from defeat!"
Si Nan smiled coldly. "You are too optimistic too early. You should know that Dou Jiande is negotiating with Li Jiancheng, discussing how to eat your Dongdu."
"If I can eat Dongdu even if I discuss it, I can also find someone to discuss it." Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Hebei Army and Li Tang are simply impossible to negotiate any results!"
"How can I explain this?" Si Nan asked.
"Li Tang is high above. Zhong Ming Ding Food. How can he have a common topic with the Hebei Army's mud legs?" Xiao Buyi said: "Li Tang and Dou Jiande joined forces. They just wanted to use Dou Jiande to restrain my progress. Dou Jiande and Li Tang joined forces. But they wanted to involve Li Tang. They hoped to be in a three-legged tripod. Or they wanted to fight Li Tang first. They had their own intentions and could not fully trust them at the beginning. If Li Tang tried to consume Dou Jiande's strength and then had the idea of a false way to attack Guo, I don't think it was strange at all!"
Si Nan's heart was a little cold. "Xiao Buyi. What do you mean is. Li Yuan's real idea is to first consume Dou Jiande and your strength. Then take advantage of Dou Jiande's inattention and compete with you?"
Xiao Buyi was not surprised. "Of course there is this possibility. Among the forces in this world, there are only eternal interests and no eternal enemies. How much threat can such intrigue joining forces? In my opinion, Dou Jiande urgently needs the Li Tang army to send troops. But it is obvious that Li Yuan will not send troops. Because there are thieves in your family. How can you have the intention to care about other people's affairs?"
Lu Laosan praised: "The King of Xiliang can always use the simplest examples to illustrate the most complex truth. My subordinates admire it." In fact, he was not a flatterer. He just saw Si Nan's murderous aura and wanted to ease the atmosphere.
Si Nan was unmoved and asked directly. "So, Li Jiancheng won't do anything for the time being?"
"He will do something." Xiao Buyi said seriously.
"What do you do?" Si Nan asked curiously. She understood that she might be considerate in details than Xiao Buyi. But in terms of overall situation and intrigue, she was far less than Xiao Buyi.
"Drag!" Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice: "He would say that he was in a difficult situation. He would say that Tang Jun was in a difficult situation. He would say... I hope Dou Jiande gave him some time to convince Li Yuan! Of course, his meaning was originally what Li Yuan meant. It was a joke for him to convince Li Yuan! Li Jiancheng was actually a smart person. I think... He had the character of Li Yuan. Li Yuan could send him out to join forces with Dou Jiande. That was a great trust in Li Jiancheng."
Si Nan sighed, "Although I don't want to agree with your point of view, I have to say that. Your analysis makes sense. So, Dou Jiande was plotted by you two cunning people. He must be the one who died first?"
"Although I'm a little slippery, I'm not old yet." Xiao Buyi touched his face and corrected.
Si Nan gave him a blank look. "Of course you are not old. You are much younger than my grandfather!"
Xiao Buyi could only smile bitterly. "I just hope that your grandfather will be much happier when he hears this."
Si Nan frowned and was unhappy. "I don't even know who my father is. I don't know who my grandfather is. Xiao Buyi. If you were Dou Jiande, how would you deal with this crisis?"
"Surrender to the King of Xiliang!" Lu Laosan continued.
Si Nan gave him a blank look. "Impossible. Dou Jiande's overlord. He wanted to surrender. His subordinates refused! He was actually very pitiful..."
Lu Laosan said in surprise: "He is pitiful? This is probably the most bizarre comment to Dou Jiande."
Xiao Buyi smiled sarcastically. "In fact, it's not just him who is pitiful. Li Yuan and I are also pitiful. There are not many people in this world who evaluate the three of us like this. Si Nan is one of them."
Lu Laosan was even more puzzled. Si Nan asked thoughtfully. "If there are other people who commented like this, Pei Mingcui is undoubtedly one of them?"
Xiao Buyi said sadly: "Sinan. You are right. You are not familiar with Pei Mingcui. But you seem to know Pei Mingcui better. Maybe you are different from Pei Mingcui. But you are the same as her. Because you and she can see us from an outside perspective."
Si Nan's eyes became a little complicated. "Yes. Actually, I think many people in this world have a way out. But Li Yuan, Dou Jiande and you don't. You three have reached their current position. Every move is related to the interests of too many people. And the prestige of the three of you is so huge. This prestige is a good thing and a bad thing. The advantage is that you can command one side, but the disadvantage is that you cannot surrender at all! Because no king will tolerate such people by your side. Even if you, Xiao Buyi, is no exception."
Lu Laosan said: "I think you are wrong. If Dou Jiande really surrendered to King Xiliang, King Xiliang would never kill him! Zhai Rang from Wagang is not dead yet. This is a good proof."
Si Nan looked at Lu Laosan and said, "You are really naive."
Lu Laosan almost cried. He had received too many comments. But he never thought that there was a woman saying that he was naive.
"How can Zhai Rang compete with Dou Jiande? What qualifications are he qualified to compete with Dou Jiande? Zhai Rang is just the leader of Wagang's village. Dou Jiande is the overlord of the world! Dou Jiande surrenders. Even if Xiao Buyi does not want to kill Dou Jiande, I think Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Wei Zheng, and Lu Chu must kill Dou Jiande for the sake of the stability of the country! At that time, Xiao Buyi will be the leader! Dou Jiande, Li Yuan and Xiao Buyi are defeated to now, and two of the three will definitely die!" Si Nan insisted on: "The chances of survival of the three of them are not very high. Do you still think they are lucky?"
Seeing Xiao Buyi's self-deprecating smile, Lu Laosan could only say: "Although I don't want to agree with your point of view, I have to say it. Your analysis makes sense."
This sentence was said just now. Lu Laosan said it again. It smelled helpless.
Xiao Buyi smiled self-deprecatingly and murmured: "One of three can only survive?"
"Xiao Buyi. If you were Dou Jiande, how would you deal with the current crisis?" Si Nan asked suddenly.
Xiao Buyi sighed. "He is better than me. If that's the case, why should I give him advice?" Seeing Si Nan staring at him, Xiao Buyi's heart trembled slightly. Finally, he said, "If I were Dou Jiande, although I was powerless to turn the world, I always had to jump a few times. Although he couldn't surrender to me, he could always form an alliance with me, put pressure on Li Tang and force them to send troops! So..." An elusive smile appeared on Xiao Buyi's lips. "Our opportunity is here again?" The triangular relationship. In fact, Li Yuan was also studying it.
Being able to gain a foothold in the troubled times. Of course, Li Yuan and Xiao Buyi both have superior knowledge and the ability to control the overall situation. From this point of view, Du Fuwei and others who are bound by Jiangdu are obviously going to have to be one move.
Don’t say that others don’t believe in the world they can win. In fact, even Du Fuwei and others have never believed that they can unify the world. They are too content with their own inch.
Of course, Li Yuan would not be content with the current situation. In fact, although he occupied Guanzhong, he was a little disappointed.
If it weren't for Xiao Buyi, he would certainly go step by step. Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shi were nothing. Dou Jiande and Luo Yi also had their own limitations. The world is so great. There is only one opponent that Li Yuan can face. That is Xiao Buyi.
But Li Yuan never wanted to show up with him. The reason is very simple. He was not very sure of defeating Xiao Buyi. But he was also concerned about Xiao Buyi's movements. That contradictory mood was like a boy who was unrequited.
Dou Jiande sent troops several times. Li Yuan was not excited. In fact, in his opinion, it was just an intimate contact between Dou Jiande and Xiao Buyi. The real battle must be after the beginning of spring. What he really wants to know now is how Xiao Buyi dealt with it. What Dou Jiande was thinking. Another thing is how Li Jiancheng handled it!
This was a test for Li Jiancheng. Li Yuan hoped that his son could live up to expectations! When Li Yuan knew about Li Daoxuan's death, his heartache flashed by, but his worries were unstoppable.
Li Xiaogong was disabled, Li Daoxuan died, Li Yuanji was never a good player. The blow to the Li family's clan was self-evident. But what Li Yuan was even more worried was that Xiao Buyi's counterattack method became increasingly strange.
Did Xiao Buyi know something? When Li Yuan thought so, his eyebrows frowned.
At this time, Li Yuan was not alone. Li Shimin was beside Li Yuan, looking at the picture on the table with bright eyes. An old minister stood beside Li Shimin. He was the Minister of War Shang Yin Kaishan.
Li Shimin fought in wars. Whether it was leaving Taiyuan, going to Guanzhong, or destroying Xue Ju, Yin Kaishan was guarding Li Shimin. Li Shimin made great achievements at present, but Li Yuan understood that Yin Kaishan made great contributions! Therefore, after Li Yuan ascended the throne, he immediately promoted Yin Kaishan to the Minister of War.
But the person Li Yuan looked at at this moment was a general with white hair and beard. Li Yuan pondered: "General Qu, I wonder what you think of Hedong at the moment?"
The man looked like Yin Kaishan at his age. He was very energetic. He was the famous general of the Sui Dynasty, Qu Tutong!
Qu Tutong originally guarded Hedong and confronted Li Yuan. Later, Yang Guang died. Qu Tutong had no loyalty to him, so he surrendered to Li Yuan.
In the chaotic times, there were few loyalty and righteousness. Qu Tutong's move was done by most of the Sui ministers in Guanlong.
Although Li Yuan struggled a lot to fight with Qu Tutong, Li Yuan was very happy after Qu Tutong. Because he knew that what he had was not only a surrendered general. Qu Tutong had rich experience in leading troops. Li Yuan had heard of it for a long time. After Qu Tutong surrendered, he attached enough importance to Qu Tutong. Many battle strategies were the ones he and Qu Tutong repeatedly negotiated.
Qu Tutong heard Li Yuan’s questioning and said confidently: “Although the bandits are strong, the foundation is not solid. The lord should not worry too much.” He pointed at the picture: “Although Liu Wuzhou is in Taiyuan, he went to Pingyao, Xihe County, and Jiexiu. There is Huoyi, who is in Jushigu Pass. At present, there are Li Zhongwen and Jiang Baoyi, who are guarding him. As long as there is no deviation and blocking the main road, the bandits will not dare to go south. As long as the lords send a stable general to lead troops to Huoyi for reinforcements. The fight against them for a while, the bandits are impatient. We can win!”
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "General Qu. I don't agree with your thoughts."
Qu Tutong was not angry and asked with a smile, "I wonder what the Qin King has to do?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I want to lose Taiyuan. Guanzhong is in panic. You must know that the families of many generals in Guanzhong are in Taiyuan. At present, these generals are in a state of turmoil. We should ask the troops to attack. We will recover Taiyuan in one fell swoop and appease the people's hearts. If we just stick to Huoyi, it will undoubtedly mean giving up the Taiyuan counties. We are afraid of losing them.
The two had different opinions. Li Yuan frowned and said, "Yin Shang. What suggestions do you have?"
Yin Kaishan said: "Actually what the King of Qin and General Qu said make sense... But according to the old minister, the enemy's morale is in full swing. It is not a good idea to just suck his edge. If he can remove the sharpness and then try to recover Taiyuan, he will not lose the way of being safe. Although he has made sense, he obviously agrees with Qu Tutong's plan. Li Shimin was unhappy and snorted coldly.
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yin Shang is right. Shimin. You should learn more about their military methods. You can only know how to fight. In the end, it is difficult to become a great person!"
Speaking of this, Li Yuan was full of blame and was even more displeased. In fact, he asked everyone for advice, which was also a test for Li Shimin. He hoped that what Yin Kaishan said could be said by Li Shimin. He originally thought that after the Battle of Sushuyuan, Li Shimin could learn from his lessons. Unexpectedly, the plan he said was not in line with his wishes.
When Li Shimin saw his father, he felt a little nervous and changed his mind: "Father, the child just heard that the people of Taiyuan worked hard and were impatient for a moment. He was eager to recover Taiyuan. But now he thought that what General Qu said makes sense!"
Li Yuan then smiled. "Shimin. If you really think so, you are quite pleased with your father. General Qu, Yin Shang. Who do you think is the best candidate to help Huoyi defenders?"
Qu Tutong made a speech without waiting for a speech. Yin Kaishan said: "The King of Qin was defeating the Longyou Army. His morale was strong and his command talent was self-evident. In addition, the Xuanjia Tianjun needs to be tempered. If you look at the old minister, the King of Qin was the best candidate for this battle."
Qu Tutong lowered his head and said nothing. Li Yuan asked, "General Qu. What about your suggestions?"
Qu Tutong said after a while: "The old minister has no objection."
Li Yuan smiled. "Since this is the case, Shimin will stick to the important tasks of Huoyi. It will be handed over to you. Remember not to be greedy for merit and advance. As long as you defend Huoyi, even if you have the most merits and Yin Shang, please follow you. Shimin. He sent Liu Hongji, Liu Zhenghui and Duan Zhixuan to assist you in sending troops. Set off in three days. Don't make any mistakes!"
Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "Children should live up to the expectations of his father and emperor!"
Everyone had decided to discuss the rest of the matter with the three of them. A soldier sent Shangdang Army text. Li Yuan knew that it was the news that his son had built it. He hurriedly opened his sight.
After Li Daoxuan's death, Li Jiancheng sent the news to Guanzhong as soon as possible. He said in his letter that he wanted to negotiate with Dou Jiande. Li Jiancheng's every move he handled was in line with Li Yuan's wishes. So he was eager to know what the result of the negotiation was.
But after only a few glances, Li Yuan smashed his fist on the table, his face full of anger.
Li Shimin asked nervously. "Father, elder brother..."
"Dou Jiande, this ordinary man!" Li Yuan cursed angrily.
Everyone was shocked. Because when Li Yuan was rarely seen so angry, Li Shimin was surprised and said, "Father, what's going on?"
Li Daoxuan died. Li Jiancheng had a little idea about the negotiations. Li Yuan sighed and suppressed his anger. "Daoxuan was killed unknown near Dou Jiande's military camp. I am a large number of people. I don't care about him. I just want to talk to him about the joint attack on Xiao Buyi. I didn't expect that he would make a big splash. I must send troops."
