"General Li thinks that 100,000 stones is too much, so Your Majesty, it is better to have 50,000 stones!"

When Liu Xie heard it, this time it was half of it at once, but it was still too much. He stole a glance at Li Dao again, and sure enough, Li Dao spoke again at this time, "Fifty thousand stone is still much, you General Guo is so greedy?" ”

The envoy said, "But I don't know how many stones, grains, and grasses General Li thinks are appropriate?" ”

This, when Li Dao heard it, how much is appropriate? Seeing that the other party seems to have thrown this initiative to himself, but in fact it is a hidden killing move, this is not to give the initiative to himself at all, but the other party wants to wait and see what happens, and he should respond to all changes with the same.

But since the other party said so, Li Dao naturally couldn't back down, so he said: "Ten thousand stones, how about it?" ”

The envoy smiled slightly, "General Li is so stingy, is it more important than Captain Yang and a few other adults?" Or in the eyes of His Majesty and General Li, a few adults such as Taiwei Yang are worth a few stones? ”

As soon as they said this, after Liu Xie and Li Dao heard it, they all secretly cursed the messenger in their hearts. This is too heart-wrenching, if this reaches Yang Biao's ears, and let the people of the world know the Tao, then they don't know how to look at themselves.

The envoy said at this time: "Forty thousand stones, what does Your Majesty think of this?" ”

Liu Xieyi gritted his teeth, "Twenty thousand stones, I am now Jinkou Yuyan, this matter is so decided!" ”

The envoy smiled, "Your Majesty said 20,000 stones, then 20,000 stones, I believe General Guo won't mind this!" ”

Li Wei was so angry that he scolded his mother in his heart, and said in his heart that the grain and grass of 20,000 stones were not taken by you, Liu Xie, the emperor, and it was not out of his own pocket. However, if the grain and grass of 20,000 stones can really be exchanged for Yang Biao and them, and if they can reconcile, then it is really difficult to say who lost and who earned.

"I wonder what General Li thinks?"

Li Dao listened. This envoy is definitely doing this on purpose, and he is still in a hostile relationship with him Guo Yan, so the person sent by Guo Yan is happy to see his jokes.

"Hmph, that's it! Your Majesty has said it, then naturally there is no problem! ”

When the envoy heard this, he secretly laughed, and as he expected, he thought that it was 20,000 stones, but the result was right.

As a result, the two parties reached a consensus to use 20,000 stones of grain and grass to bring back Yang Biao and others who were "guests" in Guo Yan's camp. In fact, it is to exchange them for house arrest, and after the negotiation is completed. The envoy left Chang'an.

After that, the two parties handed over, and as a result, Li Dao finally exchanged 20,000 stones of grain and grass for Yang Biao and a few of them. Li Wei was so angry that he couldn't do it, but Guo Yan's coke was broken. He admired his impatience very much, and he suddenly thought of detaining Yang Biao and them, and then persecuting Li Dao and the emperor. Let them use grain and grass to ransom people, the more Guo Yan thinks about it, the more he admires himself-

But wait until the two parties want to reconcile. This new problem has reappeared. Originally, it was the meaning of Li Dao. Since you Guo Yan have to reconcile with yourself, then you Guo Yan will have to return to Chang'an in the future. However, Guo Yan does not agree with this, in his opinion, can he go back to Chang'an, he has not forgotten how Fan Chou died, it can be said that at this time, he does not believe Li Dao.

So the reconciliation is not possible. Guo Yan continued to surround Chang'an with a large army, while Li Wei was also ready to defend and attack the city.

In fact, now the two sides are like a wolf beating with a hemp rod - the two sides are afraid, Li Dao is because Chang'an is like this, and he is afraid that Guo Yan will attack again one day. still wants to snatch the emperor again, and then he can only fight to the death, but the result must be a lose-lose situation, not good.

And Guo Yan is also afraid, he doesn't have as many people as Li Wei, and the grain and grass are not as good as others. Although the other party has brought 20,000 stones of grain and grass just now, there will always be a day when they will finish eating. And although he is confident that he will take Chang'an City, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses in the end, and he doesn't know if he can still have the strength to fight with Li Wei's people.

As a result, the two sides began to confront each other again, but the difference is that the two sides did not act rashly, and they did not dare to move, so they could only stand still. In fact, at this time, both Li Dao and Guo Yan were very anxious, but it was not a way like this. However, it is not a way to continue to fight, as long as they start a war again, then it is estimated that Ma Chao in Liangzhou will lead troops into the division, so the two of them tacitly agreed that no one did anything, so they just wasted it.

But this is definitely not a problem, so this situation has been maintained for half a month, and finally someone came, directly breaking the peace between Li Dao and Guo Yan-

This person is Zhang Ji from Hongnong, who specially brought 10,000 horses from Hongnong to Chang'an. said that he was here to persuade Li Dao and Guo Yan to make peace, but in fact, he came to Chang'an to seek his own interests. After all, now Li Dao and Guo Yan, the more their power is weakened, the better it will be for him Zhang Ji. But Zhang Ji understands and knows that Lu Dao can't let them go on like this anymore. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable, after all, Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi in Liangzhou are still looking at Si Li.

This is also what he is most afraid of, so even if Li Dao and Guo Yan start a war, it will benefit him a lot, but he doesn't dare to let them do this anymore, so when he sees that these two people are tense, won't he immediately bring troops to Chang'an. But in the same way, Zhang Ji also wanted to seek greater and more benefits for himself from the emperor. Otherwise, "no profit can not be early", why did he Zhang Ji come to Chang'an, in fact, these are the reasons, so he rushed over non-stop.

Zhang Ji brought 10,000 horses, and neither Li Dao nor Guo Yan dared to underestimate him. This is not just a matter of people, but Zhang Jiqi. Although both of them think that Zhang Ji is quite honest, they also know that Zhang Ji is not Fan Chou, so Fan Chou can be killed so easily, but Zhang Ji is definitely not so easy to deal with.

And the so-called "those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come", now his good man Zhang Ji can take people from Hongnong to Chang'an, to say that he is really doing good deeds, ghosts don't believe it, so whether it is Li Dao or Guo Yan, they are all guarding against him. I'm afraid he has other thoughts, so it's not okay to be careful-

Zhang Ji was stationed on the south side of Chang'an, while Guo Yan stationed his men and horses at the west gate of Chang'an, so they were not particularly far apart.

Zhang Ji first came to Guo Yan's camp to see Guo Yan, and Guo Yan also met him very friendly. As for acting rashly, Guo Yan didn't, and he won't either. Because now Fan Chou is dead, Zhang Ji can't die anymore, or when Ma Chao comes, who will unite against him Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi. So now that Zhang Ji is here, he can only benefit more, and Guo Yan is naturally clear about this.

After the two met, they only said that only the two of them knew the truth, and then Zhang Ji went back to his camp.

On the second day, Zhang Ji directly led his troops to the south gate of Chang'an, ready to answer Li Dao.

Zhang Ji also knew that Li Dao would definitely not be able to bring his troops into Chang'an at this time, but it was even more impossible for him to enter Chang'an single-handedly, so he could only have one at the head of the city and the other under the city.

Sure enough, Li Dao listened to the soldier's report that Zhang Ji invited him to go to the city to talk at the south gate, but he didn't say a word, and sure enough, he arrived immediately.

The two first exchanged a few words of greeting with each other, and then Zhang Ji changed the conversation and said to Li Dao: "Brother Zhiran thinks who is the enemy of Si Li now?" ”

Li Dao immediately said: "Naturally, it's Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi!" ”

Zhang Ji nodded, "Yes, since Brother Zhiran understands everything, why can't he reconcile with General Guo?" ”

Li Jixin said, of course I also think, don't you Zhang Ji know the way? It's just that no one trusts anyone in this situation now, even you Zhang Ji don't dare to enter Chang'an alone, do you say that he Guo Aduo does he dare?

But at this time, Li Dao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Could it be that Brother Zhang came to reconcile between the two of us?" ”

Now even Brother Zhang has been called, and sure enough, Zhang Ji nodded when he heard this, "Yes, what Brother Zhiran said is good, Ji Zheng has this intention!" ”

Li Wei said: "I don't know how Brother Zhang wants to reconcile for both of us? ”

Zhang Ji smiled, "Please also ask Brother Zhiran to invite His Majesty up!" ”

Li Ji nodded, since Zhang Ji asked the emperor to come up, then let him come up.

After a while, Liu Xie ascended to the top of the city, he was unwilling, but there was no way at all.

After going to the city, Zhang Ji hurriedly dismounted and gave a salute: "The minister Zhang Ji has seen His Majesty, and the minister is in armor, so he can't give His Majesty a full salute!" ”

Liu Xie sneered in his heart, and said in his heart, even when you Zhang Ji didn't have armor on your body, I haven't seen you give a big gift a few times.

However, he still said: "Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, I don't know why Aiqing is here today?" ”

Seeing that the emperor asked the main question, Zhang Ji said: "Your Majesty, the minister has come to Chang'an specifically for the reconciliation of General Li and General Guo!" ”

Although Liu Xie wanted Li Dao and Guo Yan to die in battle from the bottom of his heart, but now looking at the situation, he really can't fight anymore. Originally, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong this year, and when there was a war, the grain and grass that would have to be consumed would be several times that of usual, and the people would suffer, and the most serious thing was the common people. Although Liu Xie doesn't particularly care about caring about the people, he cares about his own Jiangshan Sheji, and he also knows the strength of the people, if there are no more Yellow Turban Rebellions, then the big man may be gone.

So reconciliation is bound to reconcile, but now no one trusts anyone, so ......

Liu Xie was also worried about this before, after all, it was not good for anyone to confront each other like this, and the daily consumption of grain and grass was more than usual, and he was very distressed. (To be continued......)
