The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 720
Liang Wang Xiaoxiao wears a dragon crown and python robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and sits in the Jinluan Palace. The eunuch on duty stands beside him and bows to serve him.

Xiao Mi looked at the civil and military ministers, and said in a low tone: "Your family may have heard that the Chu State has fallen, the Chu King Lin Shihong and my Qin King Lei Shimeng were killed, and the generals Zhang Dianchen and Lu Fang were also killed. In less than two years, Yang Yong has devoured all the kings in the south of the Yangtze River one after another. He will definitely attack our main beam next time. How can this go on? Let's discuss the strategy of retreating the enemy."

Several princes and civil and military officials looked at me and I looked at you, and they were speechless for a while.

Xiao Xian asked three times, but still no one dared to speak first.In the end, Xiao Xiao became angry, and slapped the Long Shuan: "What did I ask you, are you all dumb? The rise and fall of a country is everyone's responsibility, and you should repay the king's favor if you eat the king's salary. Now that the country is in crisis, you all pretend What's the point of being deaf and dumb?!"

The Shangshu ordered Liu Jingxuan to come out of the class and salute: "Your Majesty, Yang Yong is too powerful. Although we won the battle at Dongting Lake, Li Jing's troops were not hurt. Now Jin Wang Dong Jingzhen and Song Wang Yang Daosheng are fighting with Li Jing's troops. In the battle in Jingzhou, the victory or defeat was not yet decided. The Chu army was destroyed and there was one less ally. The Qin King Lei Shimeng, Zhang Dianchen, Lu Fang, etc. were all killed. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers lost their blood. Li Jing's men and horses are attacking from both sides, and our main beam is in danger."

"How come I don't know these things, Master, what's the best strategy?" Xiao Xian said in his heart, do you still need to tell me these things?Isn't this a louse on a bald man's head--the obvious thing?

It turned out that this Liu Jingxuan was not only Xiao Xian's ministerial decree, but also a second-rank official. His daughter was favored by Xiao Xian, and she was just selected into the palace to accompany the king, and was named a noble concubine. It is also a dignified father of the country.Otherwise, none of these princes and first-rank officials would speak, so how dare he, a mere second-rank official, do anything wrong.

Seeing the emperor's question, Liu Jingxuan saluted again and said: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, if you want to defeat Yang Yong, you must ask Li Tang for help. Datang is our ally, with strong troops and powerful horses. Back then, we The reason why we fought with Yang Yong was because of our alliance with Li Tang. Now our Daliang Kingdom is fighting Yang Yong's rebel army, but Li Tang doesn't send a single soldier. It's too unethical for Datang to do so. Your Majesty may Condemn the envoy to talk about the interests, let the Li family father and son send troops, and make Yang Yong difficult to care about, then Yang Yong will surely lose."

Xiao Mian's face was a bit ugly when he heard this, because he felt that the matter was not handled very well. On the surface, Daliang and Datang formed an alliance, but in fact, the envoys of Datang, Fang Xuanling, Liu Wenjing and others, put him in a bad mood. What a joke, he, like Du Fuwei, was used as a gun by the Li family father and son. Otherwise, Yang Yong and Li Tang would win or lose in the war.

But since he is the king of a country, even if he is wrong, he can't admit it, otherwise, what's the face of the emperor?No one dared to say that he was wrong, only his father-in-law dared to say a few words.But Xiao Mian was not confused, he nodded his head when he heard that what his father-in-law said was reasonable.

At this time, Chu Wang Zheng Wenxiu came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, Master Liu only knows one thing, but not the other. As far as I know, the father and son of the Li family in the Tang Dynasty are also in dire straits. In the past two years, the Turks gathered Goguryeo , Silla, Baekje, Mohe and many other small states formed a powerful coalition army, and went south to invade the Tang Dynasty. Qin Wang Li Shimin sent troops to settle the border. They all got the support of the Turks, killed Tang Shizong, the prefect, and occupied several states and counties such as Diaoyin, Honghua, and Lifang. They also proclaimed themselves emperors. Khan gave him the "Langtou Banner" and gave him the titles of "Dadu Vija Khan" and "Son of Jieshi". He had more than [-] troops, including Turkic generals, and repeatedly went south to invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Tang Li Yuan had no choice but to send Prince Li Jiancheng to send troops to conquer, and they are still fighting this way. Please think about it, Your Majesty, Li Tang is using troops on two fronts, and we ask him to send troops to attack Yang Yong, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the King of Chu is right. If Your Majesty sends envoys to the Tang Dynasty to ask for help at this time, I'm afraid they will return in vain." Xu Xuanche, the King of Yan, also came out to support the proposal.

When Xiao Mian heard this, he was filled with displeasure, and said to himself, just now when I asked you, you all kept yourselves safe and kept silent, but now my father-in-law has finally paid attention to me, and you came out to overthrow me again, why are you at ease? ?

So he lowered his face and said, "Now only dead horses are treated as living horse doctors. We are allies, and the Tang Dynasty should have sent troops long ago. Now I have sent envoys to ask him to send troops. If it fails, the alliance between the two countries will no longer exist." , with our strength, we can't deal with Yang Yong, so I can't just sit here with you and wait for the country to die!"

"My minister is guilty, my minister is guilty." King Chu and King Yan saw that Xiao Mian was going to get angry, so they didn't dare to say more, and quickly apologized.

After Xiao Xian dismissed the court, he quickly ordered someone to draw up a decree, and immediately sent an order for the head of the country, Liu Jingxuan, to go to the Tang Dynasty on his behalf.

Liu Jingxuan was very happy, and after receiving the decree, he went to the harem to meet his precious daughter. His daughter was very scheming. In order to help her father achieve great things, she gritted her teeth and moved out two boxes of gold, silver and jewels rewarded by Xiao Mi. The three-star Lushou also asked Liu Jingxuan to take them with him, and secretly bribed Li Yuan's celebrity Pei Ji.

Liu Jingxuan was overjoyed, with the imperial decree and attendants, in addition to the gift prepared by his daughter, he also prepared a multicolored gift, selected ten Jiangnan beauties, and a group of more than 1000 people left Yueyang in a mighty way, and headed for Taiyuan by detour.

When Tang Gaozu Li Yuan heard that Xiao Liang had sent an envoy, he ordered his left servant to shoot Liu Wenjing out of the city to greet him on his behalf. After Liu Wenjing received the order, he took people to transfer Liu Jingxuan to the post.

That night, Liu Jingxuan secretly met Pei Ji, explained his purpose, and then left two boxes of jewelry and three-star Fu Lu Shou people to Pei Ji, but Pei Ji refused and accepted it. Liu Wenjing heard about it and told Liu Wenjing overnight.

Liu Wenjing was very angry. It turned out that he and Pei Ji were in harmony with each other. They were good friends who had passed their lives. It was mainly due to the contribution of these two people that Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan.After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the two also made outstanding achievements repeatedly, becoming Li Yuan's two most powerful advisers, and both served as prime ministers.

However, Pei Ji's official position and treatment are slightly higher than Liu Wenjing's, which arouses Liu Wenjing's jealousy and dissatisfaction. Liu Wenjing thinks that he is better than Pei Ji in terms of thesis and martial arts, but his position is inferior to Pei Ji, so he often vents secretly.

Now when Liu Wenjing heard that Liu Jingxuan met Pei Ji secretly, she hated it again, and cursed: "Damn old guy, how dare you secretly have an affair with Liang Shi, don't ask, you must have accepted bribes, tomorrow morning, you say something, old man Talk about West!"
