Chapter 1162 How Sure Is This Matter?
Keyuan Gaisuwen and Li Tai have never met.
The previous so-called cooperation with Li Tai was also facilitated by Hou Junji.
They even tricked Li Tai behind his back.
Yeon Gaesumun even believed that this letter was written by Li Tai to try to design himself, and it was hard to believe that Li Tai wanted to negotiate peace with him.
The key is what is the reason for this peace negotiation?
"Don't worry, Commander. If I guessed correctly, Zhao Chen should have returned to Chang'an soon. This made Li Tai feel in danger, so he thought of negotiating a peace." Hou Junji said with a smile.
"Did Mr. Hou make a mistake? Negotiating peace will only reduce the pressure on Cangzhou. Li Shimin will go back to Chang'an directly."
"Isn't that the end of Li Tai?" Yeon Gaesumun didn't understand.
To negotiate peace with himself, it should be Li Shimin in Cangzhou City who made the decision.
In this way, Li Shimin himself would have time to go back to Chang'an and deal with Li Tai, the man who was behind the sabotage.
Now that Li Shimin didn't say this to himself, why did Li Tai, who had nothing to do with it, say this?
Yeon Gaesumun felt a little pain in his head, and he couldn't figure out what this meant.
The other generals were also frowning at this moment.
According to common sense, Li Tai should never be the one to negotiate peace, not to mention the current situation.
But it happened to be Li Tai...
"Commander, do you really think Li Tai wants to put his life in Li Shimin's hands when he negotiates peace with us?" Hou Junji said with a smile.
Yeon Gaesumun was silent.
Although he doesn't believe that Li Tai can be so stupid, isn't that what he is doing now?
"Commander, think about it, once the news comes out from the Tang Dynasty that they want to negotiate peace with me, Goguryeo, will Li Shimin be able to escape from Cangzhou?"
"In this way, he can return to Chang'an..."
"If Li Shimin returns to Chang'an, will he still end up like Li Tai?" Yuan Gaisuwen interrupted Hou Junji.
"When Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, he
However, Li Tai will not be let go. "
"But what if he can't go back to Chang'an?" Hou Junji said with a smile.
"Can't you go back to Chang'an?" Yuan Gaisuwen frowned, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes after a moment.
Yuan Gaisuwen finally understood the meaning of Hou Junji's words.
Li Tai wants to trick Li Shimin back, and then on the way...
"How sure do you think Mr. Hou is about this matter?" Yuan Gaisuwen looked at Hou Junji.
Of course Yeon Gae So-moon hopes that Li Tai will kill Li Shimin.
In this way, the entire Tang Dynasty would collapse directly from within without having to do anything by ourselves.
When his Goguryeo army arrives, someone will take the initiative to open the city gate and surrender.
But thinking about asking Li Tai to kill Li Shimin, it won't be that easy.
"What does it matter whether you are sure or not?"
"Does the commander really want to negotiate peace with Li Tai?" Hou Junji said with a smile.
Yuan Gaisuwen was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, he patted Hou Junji on the shoulder, nodded and said: "As Mr. Hou said, as long as the Tang Dynasty is in chaos, whether Li Shimin dies or not, the impact will not be big."
"Well, write back now and tell Li Tai that we are willing to negotiate peace."
…
"Your Highness, there is news from Youwuwei." Kong Yingda looked a little ugly.
"Zhao Chen is back?" Li Tai's heart skipped a beat and his face darkened.
Kong Yingda nodded.
He also didn't expect that the Youwuwei general who led so many people to strangle Zhao Chen would be killed by Zhao Chen?
Even a thousand pigs will grunt when they hear movement.
"According to reports from Youwuwei's commander, Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang have disappeared, and Niu Jinda is heading to Chang'an with dozens of people guarding the coffin."
"If calculated according to time, Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang will arrive in Chang'an in the next two days." Kong Yingda looked gloomy.
Now is the moment of critical survival for them.
Once Zhao Chen enters Chang'an City, and with the support of those officials with ulterior motives, he might be able to rush to the East Palace.
If Li Tai is caught by Zhao Chen, he will definitely not end well.
And he, Kong Yingda, will not have a good death. .??.
Now is the moment of life and death.
But fortunately, all the troops in Chang'an are under their control.
Even the Beiya Forbidden Army, the only unstable factor, is now surrounded and impenetrable.
"Send people to surround the entire Zhao Mansion. No one is allowed to come near. Anyone who comes within ten feet will be arrested."
"In addition, if traces of Zhao Chen, Cheng Chumo, and Qin Huaiyu are found at various city gates, they will be arrested immediately, regardless of life or death!" Li Tai stared at Kong Yingda and said in a deep voice.
Kong Yingda nodded and was about to leave when he was called back by Li Tai.
"Mr. Yingda, there must be no more mistakes in this matter. You should know that if something happens to me, your entire family, Mr. Yingda..." After Li Tai said this, he stopped talking and waved his hand. Signaling Kong Yingda to leave.
Kong Yingda felt a little heavy.
He thought that if something happened to Li Tai, he would just die, but the family behind him...
…
The number of guards at the city gates in Chang'an increased again.
All caravans entering the city are subject to strict inspection.
Ordinary people can also feel that there is a hint of thunder hidden in the sunshine of Chang'an.
The Zhao Mansion in Pingkangfang suddenly had many unfamiliar faces.
As long as ordinary people get close to the Zhao Mansion, they will be driven away by vicious men, and those who get close will be directly captured.
On the third day of November in the eleventh year of Zhenguan, there were floating clouds inside and outside Chang'an City.
snowflake.
Thousands of miles of ice, covered in silver.
The people were all wrapped up in winter clothes and rustling at home.
There are almost no people on the official road, only birds swinging between the trees.
Two bloody war horses poked their heads out from the snowy forest. Zhao Chen was wearing a wolf fur and a long sword at his waist, sitting on the horse.
Next to her, Li Ruoshuang was dressed in plain clothes, with a hint of exhaustion on her cold face.
The two of them returned to Chang'an from Xingzhou and finally arrived in the northern suburbs of Chang'an today.
"Zhao Chen, where are you going next?" Li Ruoshuang breathed into her hands and turned around to ask Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen looked at the official road in front of him, whose human traces had long been covered by heavy snow: "Go to the village first, where Cheng Er, Qin San, and Li Ke should be."
Zhao Chen already knew the situation in Chang'an City when he was on the road.
If you go directly to Chang'an at this time, you will be throwing yourself into a trap.
There has been no news from Cheng Chumo and the others for several days, and according to reports from informants within Chang'an, they have not been seen.
Then they should have settled in the village of Wannian County.
"Won't Li Tai send someone to keep an eye on Wannian County?" Li Ruoshuang was a little worried.
Of course there is no problem in going to the village in Wannian County.
But if Li Tai had already arranged an ambush there, then if they went now, they would be bumping into a rock.
“There is nothing in the village, where is the use of Li Tai sending people?
"Now we just need to control our daughter, and we don't have to worry about anything." Zhao Chen said, looking a little worried.
The news I received before said that Li Tai had surrounded the entire Zhao Mansion and no one could get close.
Li Tai's move made it clear that he regarded his daughter as his best life-saving talisman.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhao Chen couldn't help but feel a little restrained when he thought about his daughter.
