Chapter 1175 He Can Still Block Hundreds of Thousands of Troops

Li Tai also found it interesting that Yeon Gaesumun was so eager to negotiate peace with him.

It was obviously him who proposed the peace proposal in the first place.

But now Yeon Gaesumun's envoy has arrived in Chang'an.

"Your Highness, Yeon Gaesumun is like this. Something must have happened on the front line that blocked his army's offensive."

"Otherwise he would not have to make peace with us at all."

"But since it's a peace negotiation, Yuengai Suwen must have his own considerations. For example, he hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty will suffer both losses in the fight with Zhao Chen." Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment and talked about his thoughts with Li Tai.

What Changsun Wuji said correctly guessed most of Yuan Gaisuwen's situation.

Li Tai actually understood in his heart, he just couldn't figure out how a mere Li Jing could really keep the overwhelming Yuan Gaisu Wen army out of Cangzhou City.

Even at the cost of human lives, Cangzhou City can still be broken.

Li Tai was a little irritable.

He didn't want to be someone else's tool, but now he had no other choice.

"I just can't figure it out. Cangzhou City is just a small town. So what if Li Jing is gone?"

"Why did he block Yeon Gaesumun's attack?" Li Tai frowned, and now he couldn't figure out the reason.

"Is there a possibility that it's Zhao Chen..."

"Impossible, who is Zhao Chen? He can still block Yun Gaesumun's hundreds of thousands of troops?"

"If he is really so capable, why didn't he just wipe out Yuan Gaisuwen's army?" Before Changsun Wuji could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Tai's anger.

Li Tai didn't want to hear anything about Zhao Chen at all.

Not to mention that Yuengai Suwen was blocked outside Cangzhou City by Zhao Chen.

Why, Zhao Chen was almost back to Chang'an, how could he still stop Yeon Gaisumen's army from thousands of miles away?

Changsun Wuji smiled, knowing that what he said now would actually have no effect.

Li Tai!

He was afraid to the point of being afraid of Zhao Chen. Compared with Li Chengqian back then, he was even more afraid.

and.

Li Tai was silent for a long time before taking a deep breath.

"Yesterday, I heard someone in the palace say that my mother is ill, so I plan to visit her later."

"What do you think, uncle?" Li Tai suddenly mentioned that he was going to visit Empress Changsun.

"Sister is sick?"

"How come I didn't hear about what happened?" Changsun Wuji's expression changed slightly.

"If Your Highness goes to visit, please take me with you." Changsun Wuji asked Li Tai again.

Li Tai looked at Changsun Wuji and smiled: "Aren't you worried that someone is deliberately spreading false news to me, just to lure me out of the palace?"

Changsun Wuji opened his mouth, shook his head, raised his hands and said, "That shouldn't be the case. I don't know where Zhao Chen is now. Who dares to attack His Royal Highness at this time?"

Li Tai looked at Changsun Wuji with his eyes, and it took a long time for a smile to appear on his expressionless face.

"I feel the same way. If Zhao Chen hadn't come to the city, those people would be a bunch of trash and they wouldn't be able to make a difference."

"Uncle, tell me, is Zhao Chen already in the city?" Li Tai said in a deep voice.

What Li Tai was most worried about was that Zhao Chen really entered the city.

But he has strictly ordered everyone who enters the city to undergo comprehensive inspections.

Until now, there is no news, so Zhao Chen must not be able to enter the city.

"The city gate inspection is so strict, I also asked the city guards to pay attention to the fact that people entering the city may be wearing masks."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything will be fine."

"Of course, if His Highness is still worried, I will go visit my sister on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"I will definitely bring the greetings from His Highness the Crown Prince," Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

But it's exciting

Li Tai frowned.

"Why, uncle thinks that I am so afraid of death?" Li Tai asked angrily.

"No, that's not what I meant..."

"Give me the order to Pingkangfang Zhao Mansion. I want to see if someone really wants to take action against me!"

"Uncle, you come with me." Li Tai interrupted Changsun Wuji and said in a deep voice.

…

"Father, there is news that Li Tai has left the palace!" Wei Shuyu ran back to Wei Zheng from Wei Zheng's house and said to him.

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment before he received the news that Yuengai Suwen's envoy would discuss peace with Li Tai in three days.

He was about to ask Wei Shuyu to hand Li Tai his pledge of surrender, in order to trick him into leaving the East Palace.

In no mood……

"Where has he gone?" Wei Zheng and Wei Shuyu asked, with anxious expressions on their faces.

"Pingkangfang should be the Zhao mansion." Wei Shuyu explained.

"Father, do you think it's sir..."

"It must be him. That kid wouldn't reject my idea in person, but he was concerned about my reputation, so he thought of other ways."

"When Li Tai comes out of the palace, they must be ready to take action."

"Shu Yu, there are some skilled servants at home. You can bring them over. If there is a chance, they can support Mr. Zhao."

"Ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand, we must protect his safety!" Wei Zheng and Wei Shuyu urged.

"Okay!" Wei Shuyu nodded.

…

Changsun Mansion, Changsun Chong has not been to the academy for some days.

The academy was closed, and the only place he thought about was gone.

I just stay at home and drink wine every day.

It was the same today. As soon as I got up in the morning, I brought a bottle of wine, lay on the recliner, and drank the wine one sip after another.

It didn't take long for his eyelids to feel heavy, and his face was full of drunkenness.

"Sir, the master of the family has sent word that he is going to Pingkangfang with the prince, accompanied by one hundred and fifty Qianniu guards."

"Perhaps someone wants to intercept the prince on the road, and there are also twenty crossbowmen secretly supporting him." The steward of Changsun Mansion ran in and told Changsun Chong about the news from Changsun Wuji.

Ever since Changsun Wuji took up a position next to Li Tai, Changsun Chong has never spoken a word to his father.

Changsun Wuji didn't talk to him on weekdays.

The father and son have been in a cold war for a long time, and today is the first time that someone has sent a message to him.

Although it was just two simple sentences, Changsun Chong felt chills all over.

Li Tai brought not only one hundred and fifty Qianniu Guards, but also twenty hidden crossbowmen.

If someone really wants to intercept and kill Li Tai, it must be those people known to his eldest son, Sun Chong.

If they were allowed to act so recklessly, they would probably suffer huge losses.

"When will they arrive at Pingkangfang?" Changsun Chong suddenly woke up from the drunkenness in his mind and asked the housekeeper anxiously.

"About a quarter past noon," the butler replied.

"Mr...." He wanted to say one more thing, but there was no trace of Changsun Chong.

…

"Father, how do you feel?" Fang Yiai and Fang Xuanling asked in Fang Mansion.

Fang Xuanling was lying on the bed, her face had returned to rosy and was no longer as pale as before.

I think the physical problem shouldn't be big.

"It's okay, why are you here?" Fang Xuanling shook his head, but was a little surprised by Fang Yiai's sudden appearance.

"The eldest grandson rushed over just now and said that he had received news that someone was planning to attack Li Tai today."

"Li Tai brought a 150-meter thousand ox guard, and also hid twenty crossbowmen secretly."

"He was worried that those from the academy were going to attack Li Tai and that something would happen to them, so he wanted to borrow help from his family."

"The kid couldn't make up his mind for a while, so I wanted to ask my father..." Fang Yiai looked at his father and said slowly.
