Hu Xiaotian said: "My principle has always been that people don't offend me, I don't offend people, I was good in Dongliang County, no one provoked me, and if I could have a place to stay, I would be in a mess for a lifetime, I never thought of taking the initiative to provoke others."
But Tang Boxi didn't let me get my wish, I had to tear up the agreement, attack Dongliang County, and want to use this city as a gift to please your new monarch, I can't fight back in self-defense, and finally defeated Tang Boxi's gang, I am ready to negotiate peace with Dayong, and I haven't had time to send envoys, Qin Yangming gathered 70,000 soldiers and horses to come, Sister Jun, Dakang doesn't dare to be an enemy with you head-on, I can't sit still, so I fought against the water, originally with the intention of dying with the city, but I didn't expect Qin Yangming to be so. ” Xue Lingjun agreed with these words, Tang Boxi and Qin Yangming were all pustules, and they led so many people to besiege Dongliang County, and finally ended up like this.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Dongluocang is your place, I also admit that it was my fault to occupy Dongluocang, but it is a choice under my helplessness, if you don't occupy Dongluocang, my Dongliang County is equal to the door is wide open, when you want to attack me, when the army can flock unimpeded, with Dongluocang I have one more portal, one more guarantee." ” Xue Lingjun said: "Didn't you just say that you wanted to return Dongluocang to us" She didn't care about what was right and wrong, what she really cared about was whether she could get Dongluocang back smoothly.
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "How can what I said not count Sister Jun, I think so, I am ready to sign a truce agreement with Dayong, from now on, we will stop the army and truce, and we will always be together, I don't know what to do."
Xue Lingjun was full of vigilance and said: "Of course it's the best, I'm here for peace talks this time."
It's just that I don't know what the content of the Xiaotian brothers' agreement is."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's also complicated, Qin Yangming and those captives I have all released them unconditionally, Dongliang County was originally my territory, I hope your country will not raise troops to recruit in the future." ” Xue Lingjun said: "What about Dongluocang" She didn't believe that Hu Xiaotian would return the hard-won Dongluocang to them, in fact, even if Hu Xiaotian returned it to them, there would only be an empty shell left, and the grain and grass inside would probably be emptied by him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I will return Dongluocang to you."
Just not right now. ” Xue Lingjun had already guessed that it would not be so smooth, Hu Xiaotian said this and it was not the same as not returning, and he smiled indifferently at the moment: "Just now you said that you would return Dongluocang to us" Hu Xiaotian said: "I must pay it back, but if I return Dongluocang, it is equivalent to opening the northeast door to you, I really can't rest assured, Sister Jun, I want to borrow Dongluocang for five years, and after five years, I will definitely return Dongluocang to you intact." ” Xue Lingjun frowned slightly.
Hu Xiaotian actually came up with a plan to borrow the city, which was really unexpected by her, what borrowed the city was that he didn't want to pay it back, and it wasn't that he didn't want to change the soup or the medicine.
Xue Lingjun said: "Since it will be returned sooner or later, why wait until five years later, Brother Xiaotian, I can guarantee that as long as you return Dongluocang, Dayong will never invade an inch of Dongliang County within ten years."
"If you say never violated.
Xue Lingjun himself didn't believe it, in fact, it was not very likely that ten years would be possible.
As long as the internal situation in Dayong stabilizes and contacts the crisis in northern Xinjiang, then the next step is to destroy Dakang, as long as Dakang is successfully destroyed, what is a mere Dongliang County.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have already said the reason, I must borrow Dongluocang." ” Xue Lingjun said: "Brother has played a good game.
There are 500,000 stone of military rations stored in Dongluo Cang, and after five years, do you plan to return an empty city to us?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "After five years, I will not only return Dongluocang to you, but also fill the grain storage in Dongluocang, and the 500,000 stone grain will be returned to you intact."
Sister Jun thinks I'm not sincere enough."
Xue Lingjun will be suspicious, what kind of medicine is sold in Hu Xiaotian's gourd, it can be concluded that he wants to borrow Dongluocang for five years, which is nothing more than a delaying tactic, but after thinking about it, now that Dongluocang is in his hands, even if he doesn't give it to himself, there is nothing he can do, and in the end it can only be solved through war, Hu Xiaotian promised to return it in five years, which is equivalent to giving himself a step, and after he returns to Yongdu, he will explain in front of Xue Daohong.
Xue Lingjun said: "I can't make the decision on this matter, I have to go back and ask the emperor." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "I'm waiting for Sister Jun's good news." ” Xue Lingjun said: "Which captives I want to bring back." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Originally, I thought the same way, but now I have to slow down." ” Xue Lingjun frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Sister Lao Jun sent someone to send Yu Tianxing's family. ” Xue Lingjun couldn't help laughing: "Brother Xiaotian, you are really a shrewd businessman."
Hu Xiaotian said: "No matter how shrewd you are, it is difficult to see Sister Jun's neck." ” It was Hu Xiaotian's idea to promise to return Dongluocang to Dayong, and to limit it to five years, this guy never thought about borrowing and repaying it at all, and it was the uncle who owed the debt, and it was always this reason throughout the ages.
First use the strategy of delaying the army to stabilize Dayong, if he can successfully exchange it for five years, then he can develop calmly and gain a firm foothold here.
The news that Hu Xiaotian promised to support the imperial court with 300,000 stone grain soon spread to Kangdu, and for a time the people in Kangdu City were overjoyed because of this news, although 300,000 stone grain could not solve the disaster of the entire Dakang, but for the people of Kangdu, this was a tangible benefit, and they should be able to get a piece of the pie at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Compared with these people, the shock in the court is obviously greater, Hu Xiaotian's move can be said to be a big surprise to everyone, Long Xuanen sent Fan Zongxi to Dongliang County initially only planned to ask for 100,000 stone grain, but he didn't expect Hu Xiaotian to promise to give them 300,000 stones, Long Xuanen refused Dayong's peace talks at the beginning, there are still many courtiers in the court who are deeply puzzled by this, after all, now Dakang is in a deep food shortage, no matter what Dayong's motive is, Dakang can get a chance to breathe, and he regrets when he thinks of the 500,000 stone grainNow Hu Xiaotian's 300,000 stone grain has made the attitude of the civil and military officials also differentiated.
Li Shenzhou did not show too much frustration because the peace talks failed, during this time he went to visit the important members of the Dakang court one by one, and the other was to take time to accompany his wife Jian Rongxin to play in Kangdu, and it seemed that he had completely abandoned the mission of this trip.
This should be the coldest day of the year in Kangdu, but the temperature has risen abnormally, because of the effect of warm and humid airflow, Kangdu in Layue actually rarely rained, the rain was not heavy, but it was endless, it rained for two days and two nights without stopping, in such a rainy weather, Li Shenzhou came to the Taishi Mansion.
For Wen Chenghuan, this meeting has been expected for a long time, he has always known such a son, but because of his mission, he has never been able to recognize his son, he doesn't know if his son already knows the relationship between them, and he doesn't know if the father and son have the opportunity to recognize each other this time.
Li Shenzhou walked into the living room, saw Wen Chenghuan pruning the bonsai in front of the flower stand, and saw his father's slightly hunched back, Li Shenzhou's heart was shocked.
Li Shenzhou said respectfully: "Dayong's special envoy Shenzhou see Wen Taishi" The movements on Wen Chenghuan's hand paused, and he slowly put down the flower scissors and turned around, his expression was kind and calm, although his heart had already fluctuated, looking at his biological son who was close at hand, Wen Chenghuan had mixed feelings in his heart, he nodded and said, "Master Li is here, please take a seat" Li Shenzhou smiled and nodded, from the details of his father's facial contour, he found a certain familiar ingredient, and the moment the father and son made eye contact, a familiar feeling suddenly came to his heart.
There are many feelings that words cannot describe.
Although each other has guessed that the other has known their identity, everyone controls their feelings well.
Li Shenzhou handed over a brocade box in his hand: "Master Wen, a small gift is not a tribute."
"It's not uncommon to give gifts when you come to your home for the first time.
Wen Chenghuan said politely, but he still reached out to take it, unfolded the brocade box, but saw that there was a piece of Pisces jade pendant in it, and the part of the crack between the two fish was clearly visible, Wen Chenghuan's heart twitched violently, everything was completely clear, the intention of the son to show this jade pendant to himself was to show his identity, Wen Chenghuan finally calmed down the excitement in his heart, nodded, closed the brocade box, and handed it to Li Shenzhou again: "This gift is too valuable, the old man can't accept it" He slowly stood up:" I heard that Master Li's poetry and painting are unique, and the old man painted a picture of flowers and birds, and I don't know if I am willing to give some advice. ” Li Shenzhou said: "The master is polite, Shenzhou can just take this opportunity to learn from the master, and don't dare to give two words." ” Wen Chenghuan took Li Shenzhou to his study, there was only an unfinished picture of flowers and birds on the painting in the study, Wen Chenghuan entered the room, his expression was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "You close the door." ” Li Shenzhou closed the door and plugged it in from the inside, without saying a word, he knelt down in front of Wen Chenghuan with a plop, and said in a low voice: "Unfilial son Shenzhou sees his father" Wen Chenghuan stepped forward and threw himself down in front of his son, grabbed his arm, his face was already full of old tears, and the thoughts that had been suppressed for many years all came to his heart in an instant, even Wen Chenghuan couldn't control his feelings, he choked up and said: "I'm ashamed of you, ashamed of our Li family" to be continued:
