The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 327 Want to give an orphan?

There are not many records of Yuan Shoucheng in history, the only one is Yuan Tiangang's uncle.

However, in Journey to the West, one of the four famous novels, Yuan Shoucheng is a warlock who can judge the situation.

In the ninth chapter of Journey to the West, the Dragon King of Jinghe relied on himself as the Dragon God of Siyu, so he became confident and made a bet with him.

However, the final result was that Yuan Shoucheng was not half false.

However, the Dragon King of Jinghe was self-defeating and changed the number of rain without authorization, violating the rules of heaven.

From this, it can also be seen that Yuan Shoucheng must have supernatural powers.

Although this is not Journey to the West, it is speculated from Yuan Tiangang's methods in history.

Since Yuan Shoucheng is his uncle, his abilities are certainly not weak.

As Li Yuanji asked him for advice, Yuan Shoucheng thought about it, and said slowly: "Your Highness, I suggest that you ask for orders to fight on the front line."

"I believe that His Majesty will see that His Highness has such a progressive heart, and he will definitely abandon the past."

"Going to the front line, where should the orphan go at his request?"

Hearing this, Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then asked.

Immediately, Yuan Shoucheng seemed to know everything, and explained: "If the old way of thinking is right."

"Only after His Majesty and the Qi army have peace talks, His Highness King Qin will lead the army out of Tongguan to wipe out Wang Shichong who is entrenched in Luoyang."

"Therefore, the old Taoist suggested that His Highness can ask for orders to go to Tongguan. I believe that His Highness's martial arts will be able to make meritorious service in the near future."

"A general under my second brother's account?"

"No, Gu is determined not to go!"

Just to say, as soon as he thought of Li Shimin, Li Yuanji showed a look of disgust, indicating that he was not willing to be a general under Li Shimin's account at all.

In fact, Li Yuanji's personality is completely different from Li Shimin's because of his cruel nature and oppressive kindness.

Therefore, Li Yuanji had been at odds with Li Shimin since he was a child, so now that he heard that he was going to serve under his command, he resolutely opposed it.

"Ugh!"

For a moment, Yuan Shoucheng could not help but let out a slight sigh, and there was only endless contempt in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that he saved his own life, I'm afraid he would have left this place a long time ago according to Yuan Shoucheng's temperament.

After all, as a prince, he was hated even with his own brother.

So, what can such a person do?

However, in order to fulfill his promise, Yuan Shoucheng continued: "Since His Highness is unwilling to go to King Qin's army."

"Then recommend His Highness to go to Taiyuan. If the old Taoist's guess is correct, there will be a war in northern Xinjiang."

After a conversation between the two, Li Yuanji finally decided to ask Li Yuan to go to Taiyuan to defend.

Li Yuanji has such a heart of meritorious service, as a father, how can he be unhappy?
Therefore, while Li Yuan was happy, he agreed to his request.

Moreover, since Taiyuan is directly facing its body, to the north is the restored Yang family, and to the east is Dou Jiande, king of Xia in Jizhou.

Although Li Tang made a covenant with him, how can the disputes in troubled times rest on those few pieces of paper?

Therefore, Li Yuan knew Li Yuanji's ability, and specially appointed the right guard general Guo Ziyi as his deputy to assist him in guarding Taiyuan.

…………

At this time, the Qinling defense line

It's just that under Gao Qi's order, the Qi army stopped attacking across the board and stationed in the south of the Qinling Mountains.

Force Li Tang to submit with a strong front, and make him negotiate peace with him.

In fact, it is not beneficial for the two armies to fight now.

Because, whether it is the Tang Army or the Qi Army, the strategic goals formulated by them are not limited to this.

Li Tang's strategic goal is mainly to capture Luoyang and Hebei, so as to dominate the northern territory.

The strategic goal of the Qi State is to level the south of the Yangtze River with Esau, unify the south, and then recuperate before launching a large-scale northern expedition to restore the world.

Therefore, at this time, both Li Yuan and Gao Qi knew that it would not be wise for the two countries to fight recklessly!
Finally, several days later, Chai Shao, Li Tang's envoy, finally crossed the Qinling Mountains and arrived at Qiying.

Just to say, Chai Shao took a deep breath, walked into the Qi army camp with his head held high and high.

Although the Tang army is temporarily at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Qi army, as an envoy, he must not fall into the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

But this time, Chai Shao's task is not only to conduct peace talks, but also to take back the two counties of Hechi and Shunzheng.

And negotiate with the Qi army to bring back the captured Li Xiaogong.

As for Li Yuan's bottom line, the maximum is 20 shi, no more.

In fact, 20 shi is already Li Tang's limit.

Moreover, at least half of the money and food needs to be raised by the Guanlong family.

…………

Military lobby
Gao Qi still sat at the main seat, with the generals of the Qi army on the left and Fang Xuanling and other advisors on the right.

"General Zuo Yiwei, Chai Shao, is meeting His Royal Highness King Qi."

After entering the military mansion, Chai Shao bowed to Gao Qi first.

Suddenly, Dian Wei, the general of Gao Qi's personal guard, came out loudly and shouted: "Bold!"

"Now that King Qi is here, you are just a courtier of Li Tang, why don't you kneel down and salute?"

I saw that the sound was extremely deafening, almost shaking all the generals in the tent.

Following Dian Wei's roar, the unsuspecting Chai Shao was stunned on the spot!
After a long time, Chai Shao came back to his senses slowly, and after thinking for a while, he guessed that this was the warning given to him by Qi Jun.

Immediately, Chai Shao said slightly: "My Tang Dynasty is a state of a great country."

"From ancient times to the present, have envoys from a great country ever bowed down before visiting a small country?"

After speaking, Chai Shao had a complacent expression on his face, complacent.

In fact, this is one of Chai Shao's tricks.

As long as he can establish the great country of his own Tang Dynasty, he will take the initiative when holding peace talks.

Then when Qi Fang raised the price, Chai Shao had the confidence to bargain.

Moreover, Chai Shao thought, Gao Qi would not care about this matter even for the sake of face, so he could easily get away with it.

However, if Chai Shao goes on an envoy to other anti-kings, he may just get away with it.

But Gao Qi had already observed Chai Shao's expression carefully from the main position.

And why didn't he guess what Chai Shao wanted to do?

Therefore, as soon as his words fell, Gao Qi became angry instantly, and shouted angrily: "How courageous!"

"Li Yuan sent you as an envoy to meet Gu, but now you don't know the slightest bit about respect and etiquette."

"Could it be that this is the way of life of the Tang Dynasty, and the quality of everyone is like this?"

However, to Chai Shao's surprise, Gao Qi was suddenly furious because of this matter.

For a moment, Chai Shao froze in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

After all, now that this matter has gone beyond imagination, who knows how Gao Qi values ​​his etiquette?

"Your Highness, Shao Nai..."

"shut up!"

Just saying, just when Chai Shao was about to show his tongue, he was interrupted by Gao Qi's roar.

Afterwards, Gao Qi stood up slowly, and shouted in righteous words: "Since you think that the Great Tang is a great state, and the lonely Great Qi is a small state."

"Then I would like to ask you, since your so-called Great Tang fought against Gu Daqi's army, has your Great Tang won once?"

"Furthermore, our Daqi ancestral system was inherited from Daqi in the Northern Dynasty, and its establishment has a very long history now."

"At that time, did you hear about the existence of your Great Tang?"

"Thirdly, when Gu re-established Daqi, Li Yuan had just raised his army, so can he be called a great state?"

For a while, Gao Qi's words were righteous, and Chai Shao was stunned on the spot.

After a long time, Chai Shao actually felt a deep sense of frustration, finally sighed helplessly, and knelt down to salute Gao Qi.

Immediately, a smile appeared on Gao Qi's surface, which was a sneer of a successful decision.

…………

Although Chai Shao was going to play tricks, he gave Gao Qi a warning.

But he didn't expect that Gao Qi and the others had already finished the discussion!
Give the envoy of the Tang army a disarm, so as to take the initiative in the peace talks.

That's why Gao Qi "cares over every detail!"
