Chapter 1174: Still Have to Negotiate

., the fastest update struggles in the latest chapter of the Tang Dynasty!

The Anxi army is well-trained and not under 10,000 cavalry.

The defenders of Princess Anle's Mansion were condescending and helped them shoot their positions. There was no accident, and the whole team entered Princess Anle's mansion safely.

By now, Li Bao'er's extravagant and extravagant benefits have been revealed.

First of all, this place occupies a large area, and there are many houses, that is, more than 10,000 people can be arranged, and it is not even too crowded.

Secondly, the grain, dried meat and other materials here can be used by this 10,000-strong army for more than a year, and as for the water, several wells have been drilled a long time ago. Even without water, even the good wine stored by Princess Anle is enough for everyone to drink for three or five months.

It is precisely because of this that even if Li Longji and the others do not withdraw their troops, they will not be able to get out, and they will not lose their troops because of these reasons.

Seeing that under the care of the 10,000 Anxi Army, the entire Princess Anle Mansion was impregnable.

That night, Cui Geng invited Guo Yuanzhen and his entourage.

Guo Yuanzhen glanced at the counted materials and said, "This is done, next, we just need to negotiate with Li Longji." ”

Cui Gengdao: "Why is Guo Xiang so confident? ”

"Because of Li Longji, he can't afford to drag it out." Guo Yuanzhen smiled slightly, and said: "The 60,000 Yulin army in the city was taken by surprise, and the dragons were leaderless, so they could not pose a threat to Li Longji for the time being. However, after a long time, if someone ascends to the top and shouts, the Yulin Army may not continue to be leaderless, and the flying horses in the city are loyal to Li Dan, but Li Dan is indeed in our hands. If Li Longji continues to attack us, he will have to guard against the counterattack of the flying cavalry. In addition, there is the most critical ......"

"What?"

"Li Longji does not have many henchmen, his foundation is shallow, and most of the people outside are loyal to Li Dan. If he insists on going his own way, I'm afraid he can only become the emperor of Chang'an instead of being the emperor, so what's the point? ”

Cui Gengdao: "Guo Xiang is really knowledgeable, and I admire him. ”

"Eh, Cui Xiang, don't talk like that."

Poof!

Originally, the two of them chatted and chatted well, Guo Yuanzhen suddenly got up, knelt down for Cui Geng, and said, "I understand that my ability is not as good as Cui Xiangyuan!" From now on, I am willing to look forward to Cui Xiang's horse, even if I go to the soup and fire, I will never give up. ”

"Guo Xiang, what are you doing here?"

Cui Geng hurriedly staggered a step and said, "I can't stand such a big gift from you." ”

"Huh...... Bearable, bearable. Guo Yuanzhen kowtowed respectfully three times again, and said, "There are thousands of people in the family, and there is one person in charge, and I ask Cui Xiang not to refuse." ”

Guo Yuanzhen's last sentence woke up Cui Geng.

That's right, now strictly speaking, whether it is Cui Geng or Guo Yuanzhen, they are both anti-thieves of the imperial court.

Nonsense, isn't it a thief who can tie up the emperor?

Now the problem is, this Princess Anle Mansion is her own base, with hundreds of subordinates. Now Guo Yuanzhen has joined this base with 10,000 Anxi troops.

So, who listens to whom now?

If you don't get it right, it's a rush game.

Even if he and Guo Yuanzhen both take care of the overall situation and try to restrain themselves, the subordinates on both sides may not take the overall situation into account.

Guo Yuanzhen kowtowed to himself three times in front of everyone today, that is, to set the priorities of both sides and completely eliminate this hidden danger.

Cui Geng said: "Since this is the case, Cui is disrespectful." ”

"Where, your rank is above Guo someone. Again. Guo is now bent on seeking revenge on Li Longji and Yang Zhiqian, and he has no intention of taking care of anything else, and it is easy to make mistakes, so you are more suitable for this lord than me. ”

……

……

In the following days, due to Guo Yuanzhen's initiative to give way, the hidden dangers were eliminated, and the two sides slowly merged with each other, and there was no military conflict.

Ten days later, Li Longji's envoy entered Princess Anle's mansion. This envoy is not someone else, it is Cui Riyong, who has negotiated with Cui Geng.

Cui Geng smiled and said: "Congratulations to Brother Riyong, seeing that Li Longji is about to ascend the throne as emperor, you can re-ascend the phase, right?" ”

Cui Riyong said: "This is a lot of Erlang's blessing." Otherwise, the foolish brother did not make a big contribution in this coup, and he may not be able to regain his face. ”

The implication is that he is counting on the credit of this negotiation with Cui Geng.

Cui Geng buried the thunder casually and said: "I'm afraid that even if you succeed in recovering your phase, it won't be long before you succeed in regaining your appearance." ”

"Huh?" Cui Riyong was not happy at the time, and said, "Erlang, where did you come from?" Why can't I be prime minister for long? ”

"Hehe, you still don't believe it, big brother?" Cui Gengdao: "Look at what kind of people are in the court now, Yao Chong and Zhang said!" Which of these two is a fuel-efficient lamp? You're too noble, I'm afraid you won't like these two. I dare to pack a ticket, and within three months, I will definitely quit the prime minister. ”

Cui Geng's words were not said casually, but they were true.

In historical records, Cui Riyong also made great contributions in the congenital coup. However, after returning to the dynasty, he didn't even become the prime minister, and a secretary was dismissed. And this official didn't work long before he was demoted to the history of Changzhou Thorn.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the three heroes that Li Longji keeps talking about, "Cui Riyong's wisdom, Liu Youqiu's strategy, and Zhong Shaojing's fruit", these three have served as prime ministers for a very short time, and most of the time, they are in a state of depression.

Without it, it would be said that these three people might be good at carrying out a coup d'Γ©tat, but when they put together the wrists of the court, it is simply not an order of magnitude with Yao Chongzhang

If people use a little trick, they will have to be demoted.

Cui Geng said this now, undoubtedly without any good intentions. In Cui Riyong's heart, such a nail was laid first. Let's hope he'll be able to resist a little stronger.

The more chaotic Li Longji's court is, the more stable his side will be.

Of course, Cui Riyong also understood what Cui Geng meant, and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, the matter of Chang'an, I don't know how you are going to do it, Erlang." ”

Cui Gengdao: "Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince allowed us to take His Majesty to Weizhou for resettlement. Weizhou has no King Yan, and there is one more majesty, so it is quite stable. ”

"You ......"

Cui Riyong smiled bitterly: "Erlang, don't talk about this impossible thing." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would rather fight to the death than agree to His Majesty going to Weizhou. ”

"Uh...... It's okay if you don't agree with Your Majesty to go to Weizhou, then...... Does he agree or not to agree with the Emperor Taishang to go to Weizhou? ”

"The Emperor?" Cui Riyong's eyes lit up and said, "For the Emperor Taishang, His Majesty has more scope to allow. But...... Weizhou still can't! How about Yizhou? Erlang, you are deeply rooted in Yizhou. ”

"You're going to pull it down, right?!" Cui Geng said disdainfully: "I still need Li Longji to give Yizhou, Shangguan Wan'er has firmly held Yizhou in my hands for me." By the way, there are also barbarians in the southwest who are loyal to me, and no one can take Yizhou away without my nod. ”

"Okay, if you don't go to Yizhou, where do you want the Emperor Taishang to go?"

"Quanzhou." Cui Geng stared at Cui Riyong's eyes and said, "To be precise, it's the entire Lingnan Dao." I don't know if you allow it or not. ”

"Lingnan Road?" Cui Riyong said: "Let's confirm again, Erlang, do you want to use Hebei and Shandong Erdao plus Andong Metropolitan Protectorate to change Lingnan Road?" ”

"Yes!" Cui Geng sighed and said, "Now Li Longji has an army of 80,000, and I only have more than 10,000, so I can only be so wronged." ”

……

……

Daming Palace, Ganlu Palace.

Although this is the emperor's bedroom, and although Li Longji has not yet ascended the throne as emperor, this place has now become his office.

Li Longji repeatedly confirmed: "Cui Geng really only needs Lingnan Dao? ”

"That's true." Cui Riyong replied in the affirmative.

"I guess it shouldn't." Li Longji frowned slightly, and analyzed: "Now the Lone King actually doesn't have that much advantage in Chang'an, so he can only say that he has a slight upper hand." The most important thing is that when my father made a move, my brothers chose to be in other places. They can be used by some ill-intentioned people at any time. So...... Is there any conspiracy in Cui Geng? ”

Cui Riyong shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily." Actually, you can guess one or two about Cui Geng's thoughts. ”

"Tell me about it."

"He is more afraid than you of a few princes who will be encouraged to ascend the throne as emperor. To be precise, he thinks of the common people in the world, and does not want to destroy this peaceful and prosperous world because of his own selfishness. Think about it, in the last negotiation, he also suffered a slight loss, what kind of conspiracy is there? ”

Wang Ju's heart is relatively small, and he has a deep opinion of Cui Geng, and said, "Look at what you said, it seems that Cui Geng has become a great sage." Oh, as long as he thinks of the common people in the world, we are sinners who are flies and dogs? How unreasonable! ”

"That's not what I meant!" Cui Riyong hurriedly defended

"Hmph, who knows what you mean!"

"Mr. Wang, don't worry!" Zhang Shuo smiled slightly and said, "Whether Cui Geng is a saint or a demon, all in all, if he refuses to surrender now, he is our enemy." We just need to analyze, after Cui Geng wins Lingnan Road, will it pose a threat to us? As for the rest, don't think about it for now! ”

"What a threat!" Wang Ju said: "Lingnan Road is a place of exile, if you want a population without a population, if you want food without food, you can't even compare with Yizhou, which is a partial country, how can you threaten us?" ”

Zhang said: "Isn't that the end?" Cui Geng went to Lingnan Road, it will be beneficial to us and harmless, why don't we agree to it? In addition......"

"What?" Wang Ju asked curiously. After Zhang Shuo's persuasion, even if he was cautious, he didn't want to argue now, after all, the facts were in front of him, how to say that Cui Geng went to Lingnan Road, there was no harm to them.

"Benxiang has already thought of a few tricks to scatter, and let Cui Geng's trip to Lingnan Road be safeguarded, and he can't eat and walk!" Zhang said confidently.
