Chapter 492: The Siege (3)


Li Mu almost blurted out and asked the eldest grandson Wuji to find a way to let Zheng Guanyin and the others out of the city.

But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, and the fickleness of the eldest grandson Wuji could not make Li Mu believe it.

In case the eldest grandson Wuji surrendered or suddenly changed his mind, it would put Zheng Guanyin and the others in a desperate situation.

At the same time, if the eldest grandson Wuji knew Li Mu's purpose and blackmailed Zheng Guanyin and others, he would be pit himself.

Thinking of this, Li Mu said: "Actually, it's not difficult, just according to what you just said, just open the city and surrender." ” The eldest grandson Chong hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, the minister will go back to his father."

It's just that the father of the family has said it first, and this matter must be attended by the Duke of Eguo and the Duke of Su at the same time, and after receiving a letter of pardon from His Majesty, it can be done. ” Li Mu's face sank: "Ling Zun doesn't trust this king."

Changsun Chong hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no."

It's not that I don't believe in His Royal Highness, it's just that this matter is related to the life and death of the Changsun family, and my father has to be careful.

I hope Your Highness understands. ” Li Mu pondered, Eldest Sun Wuji's proposal was indeed tempting, and it was really the best solution to attack the city without blood.

However, Li Mu didn't want to let go of the eldest grandson Wuji like this, he wanted to use this to put the eldest grandson Wuji to death.

After thinking about it, Li Mu said: "Lone agrees, but it's impossible today, so I can only leave it for next time." ” The eldest grandson rushed and said, "Your Highness Xie, but I hope that Your Highness will not take the initiative to attack before the negotiation is over." ” Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes."

But I hope that the next time we meet, you will be able to bring a feasible plan to open the door and dedicate the city. ” "Yes."

At this time, Li Anyan came back.

Li Mu said to the two: "Go back and tell Li Chengqian that Gu wants half of the country south of the Yangtze River, and if he agrees, Gu will help him." ” This is naturally dealt with on the surface, and Ang Lee and the two have their own thoughts and demands.

After Li Anyan and the eldest grandson Chong heard this, they said goodbye and left together.

After the two left, Li Shi came in.

"Your Highness will really grant them what they want" Li Shi was at the door of the tent, and he didn't deliberately lower his voice when he was talking inside, so he could naturally hear some.

Li Mu did not mean to avoid Master Li.

"What does the eldest brother think about this," Li Muxiao asked.

Li Shidao: "The intention of the eldest grandson Wuji is nothing more than to turn the passive into the active, and use the counterattack to clear the felony of participating in the rebellion.

In my opinion, it is better to help Li Chengqian by negotiating with the eldest grandson Wuji, at least His Highness can get half of the south of the Yangtze River. ” Li Mu nodded and said, "What the eldest brother said is very true.

It's just that if you help Li Chengqian, the eldest grandson Wuji will become a colleague, and now the eldest grandson Wuji is already a lieutenant, with Li Chengqian's protection, how can I take revenge, if the eldest grandson Wuji can't get a positive answer from me, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not negotiate with Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin in private, and then he can bypass me and get His Majesty's pardon. ” Master Li frowned and said, "Then His Highness should order to ban people from the city to prevent the eldest grandson Wuji from sending someone to contact the two of them." ” Li Mu shook his head and said: "This matter cannot be prevented, there are 80,000 troops in the hands of Wei Chigong and the others, and the camp tent stretches for more than ten miles, and they can't help it if they want to." ” "How can that be good?"

Li Mu pondered for a while and said, "Then be generous, not only do not prohibit it, but also create better opportunities for them to collude." ” Li Shi was puzzled: "Your Highness, what does this mean?"

Li Mu smiled: "It's just a plan to get away with it." ” After hearing this, Master Li thought for a while, and then had some clues, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is amazing. ” 。

For three days in a row, Li Mu had no intention of attacking the city.

Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin were also rejected for three consecutive days.

There is already a lot of resentment in my heart.

And Li Mu has already met with the envoys from the city three times.

The two sides have reached most of the agreements on Li Mu's attachment to Li Chengqian, but only one thing has become the main point of contention between the two sides, and a consensus has not been formed.

That is the issue of Li Shimin's resettlement.

Li Mu insisted that Li Shimin enter the palace as the emperor.

And Li Chengqian was afraid of Li Shimin in his heart, and insisted that Li Shimin go to Luoyang Palace.

In fact, Li Shimin's fate has a fart relationship with himself, and Li Mu is just looking for a reason to delay the negotiation time.

And in private, Li Mu and Changsun Chong were in hot contact, and the last step was missing, and Changsun Wuji came to sign an agreement with Li Mu in person.

But the problem is that the eldest grandson Wuji insisted on signing an agreement with Li Mu to donate the city only in the presence of Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin.

Li Mu agreed, but he was not sure of the specific time.

And in the past three days, in the palace of the heir king, the evergreen cloud has completed the arrangement.

In the past few years, according to Li Mu's request, Chang Luyun dug an underground passage through the entire Buzheng Square in the west garden of the Emperor's Mansion.

The entrance is at the garden rockery, and the exit is at the Persian Hu Temple in Liquanfang, west of Buzheng Fang.

Under the circumstance that the Donggong guards were surrounded and watched, it was impossible to flee in large numbers, but there was no problem in escaping three or five people in disguise.

The key is how to get out of the city gates.

Li Chengqian's sudden rebellion replaced the goalkeepers who were originally stationed at the three gates of Dongcheng.

The original plan of the wolf's tooth guard to go out of the city no longer worked.

And Li Anyan's initiative to take refuge gave Evergreen Cloud a new way out of the city.

The plan is like this, in the middle of the night, Evergreen Cloud took Zheng Guanyin and Yang from the tunnel to Buzheng Fang, temporarily settled in the Persian Hu Temple, and then under the cover of the night patrol forbidden army, crossed half of Chang'an City from Liquanfang to Chunming Gate.

Then Li Anyan, who was on duty at the time, lowered them to the city with rattan baskets.

In order to attract the attention of the city and soothe Li Chengqian's hostility.

On the same day, that is, on the fourth day of the siege, Li Mu agreed to Li Chengqian's request, and at the same time determined the specific time for the eldest grandson Wuji to talk with him on the next day, that is, tomorrow.

Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin came to ask for battle according to the usual practice.

This was the fourth time since the siege, and their patience had almost run out.

The tone of speech is no longer so polite.

"It's been four days, and the army is waiting outside the city for His Highness's order to attack the city, if His Highness doesn't give the order to attack the city again, don't blame me for impeachment."

Wei Chigong said coldly.

Cheng Yanjin said: "Your Majesty trusts Your Highness, so you will confer the position of commander on Your Highness, but Your Highness is now in the city to fight timidly, this is not like the general who captured and killed Erhu and swept Baekje that day." ” Li Mu naturally will not be moved by their cold words, and I am afraid that Li Shimin will not dare to punish himself easily now.

Li Mu sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to attack the city, let alone cowardice, but I just take into account the prosperity of the capital, once it is attacked, hundreds of people will die because of it, and I can't bear it."

You must know that the people in this city are all the people of the Tang Dynasty. ” Wei Chi Gong said: "Your Highness's merciful heart, the ministers can understand, but now is not the time for mercy, Your Majesty has already left Fanyang and is on the way back to Beijing, if you don't attack the city again, wait for Your Majesty to arrive, there is nowhere to stop, this is a big crime." ”:
