Chapter 28: Domination
Since Wukong is so full of words, then Li Ruofeng has to test him well no matter what. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
So, along the way, the husband and wife began a series of discussions on the development of Datang.
With the passage of time and the deepening of the discussion, Li Ruofeng was of course extremely shocked to find that her little fat boy husband really didn't brag, he was indeed a super master who was proficient in the development of internal affairs!
Of course, she also discovered her husband's super shortcomings, that is, he is a super idiot for military strategy and handling diplomatic relations, and he also has a very strong self-esteem, refusing to admit that he is not proficient in these two aspects, and is always stubborn and does not know how to pretend to understand.
Despite this, Li Ruofeng finally saw the amazing talent of her husband.
When she was about to arrive at the palace, Li Ruofeng suddenly asked her husband a question.
"Zhang Fan'an, what kind of person is he?" Li Ruofeng asked Wukong seemingly casually.
Wukong had now forgotten his true identity, and he replied casually: "Who else can he be, he is just a madman who only knows how to lead troops to fight." You haven't seen his performance in the court, tsk tsk, that belly can't even say a word. Hmph, if I hadn't helped him out, he would have been embarrassed. So, I'm very capable. ā
Li Ruofeng looked at her husband's snort, and she said slowly: "Do you know? Everyone has self-esteem, don't compare your own strengths with others' shortcomings." It's easy to offend people by showing off like this! The reason why Zhang Fan'an has to kill you is because of this. If you give others two faces, others will give you one face, let alone not give them?"
After Wukong listened to his wife's words, he was immediately frightened, and then broke out in a cold sweat!
"It's good she misunderstood, it's good she misunderstood. My wife is so much smarter than I am! I almost showed my stuff just now! It seems that I can't get embarrassed in front of her in the future. However, this is also a good thing, at least my future children will definitely be very smart, not bad, not bad. Thinking of this, Goku smirked twice, and immediately returned to a listless state.
Fortunately, before arriving at the palace gate at this time, Li Ruofeng thought that Wukong understood his mistake, so she felt very remorseful, and she became like this again, so she didn't think too much about it, and pulled Wukong to the Taiji Palace.
At this time, the situation in the Taiji Hall has been solemn to the extreme, and the needle drop can be heard quietly on the entire hall, and everyone is silently waiting for the arrival of the last person.
Mao Wenchen, Li Baiyao, and Xu Shiji sat on the west side of the long table, sipping tea quietly with a calm demeanor, and didn't seem to put the powerful opponents on the other side in their eyes at all.
As the host, Datang must give full play to his home advantage.
Not counting Pei Shiju, who was overwhelmed, just looking at the gorgeous lineup of hundreds of high-ranking officials around Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, it was enough for those who lacked courage to gasp.
The main content of this negotiation is the three-country clearance plan, and other trade exchanges are all just small things.
The clearance plan is beneficial to everyone, it is absolutely imperative, this is clear to everyone, and the only question that the three countries want to talk about is how to end this plan.
The first way is to calculate the time, one year, two years, or three years, and the cooperation will be automatically invalidated when the time comes.
In the second way, in terms of effect, after all three parties have killed their respective enemies, the cooperation is automatically nullified.
There are three enemies in the north of Li Tang, Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe, and Liu Wuzhou, counting Li Ghost in the west and Zhu Can in the east, there are a total of five enemies, so the first way is beneficial to Li Tang, and the longer the time, the more advantageous it is.
There is only one Xiao Xian to the west of Nansui, so the second way is very beneficial to Nansui, after killing Xiao Xian, the entire south will be completely pacified.
There are Gao Kaidao, Roy, and Dou Jiande in the north of Beisui, these three enemies, and Roy is now very inclined to surrender, so no matter which way, Beisui actually doesn't matter, as long as there is a truce, it will be beneficial to Beisui.
Besides, Nanbei Sui is actually a family, and it will definitely be destroyed before Li Tang, Gao Kaidao, Luo Yi, Dou Jiande, Xiao Xian, as long as these families are destroyed, Da Sui can take advantage of Li Tang's battle to take advantage of the fire to destroy Tang.
Therefore, for Dasui, the second way is the most advantageous.
At this moment, Wukong and Li Ruofeng held hands and finally walked into the main hall.
After accepting everyone's congratulations, Wukong sat at the bottom of the negotiation table, that is, next to Pei Shiju.
"Mao Shangshu, Li Shangshu, and Xu Shuai, when today's strife in the four seas, thousands of miles of smoke, the people's livelihood is withering, and the people are in hardship, coupled with the fierce slave empire in the north, they have always been eyeing me, vainly trying to occupy my land and plunder my people. In the face of this situation, all of us in Datang, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, are all unable to sleep at night and are heartbroken! That's why we invite you to come here to seek great things and benefit the world!" With Li Jiancheng's opening remarks, the negotiations officially began.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about the safety of the world, and I, Li Baiyao, have deep admiration for this. What you said is right, it's time to get rid of the small and give the people a bright future. We can't take care of the affairs of the north, but we are duty-bound to do things in the south! Li Baiyao solemnly assured everyone.
Before the appraisal of the covenant, even if the sky is broken through a hole, it is useless, big words can be said, beautiful words can be spoken, and even lies can be used, but before the blood alliance, these are not true.
"Mao Shangshu, I don't know what Beisui's plans are?" Li Jiancheng looked at Mao Wenchen with deep meaning, and said to him with a smile.
Mao Wenchen promised Li Jiancheng in advance that he could sign a two-year armistice agreement with Datang, so Beisui put forward this proposal first, and then Datang immediately seconded it, and Nansui of course had nothing to say.
"This kind of good thing for the benefit of all people, of course, we in Beisui are also obliged and will do our best. But...... , we Beisui have to face at the same time, Zhu Can, Xiao Xian, Dou Jiande, Luo Yi, Gao Kaidao, these five forces. I'm afraid it will take at least two years to get them all flattened. Mao Wenchen frowned tightly and said slowly.
As soon as Mao Wenchen's words fell, everyone looked at the thin scribe with a shocked gaze, and everyone suddenly realized a problem, that is, the time to eat cakes is certainly to be discussed, but the amount of cakes that belong to oneself is of course more important to discuss.
Whoever says Xiao Xian and Zhu Can must be fought by Nan Sui and Datang, the only rule of this game is that whoever has the strength can fight casually!
Mao Shangshu calculated very accurately, and what he said was not wrong at all. My Datang has just experienced a big war, and if I want to deal with Xiao Xian, Li Gui, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, and Guo Zihe, these five forces, I am afraid it will take at least two years. Li Shangshu, what do you think?" Pei Shiju really had itchy hands, so he couldn't help it, and wanted to have a good time with Mao Wenchen.
Mao Wenchen, Li Baiyao, and Xu Shiji didn't say a word, and at the same time set their eyes on this great strategist they had never seen before.
"Since everyone is interested in helping us eradicate Xiao Xian, then of course we can only be grateful. But...... We also want to do our part for the common people in the world. In this way, after pacifying Xiao Xian, our army will go north with all its strength to help Datang and sweep away the northern frontier. What do you think, sir?" Xu Shiji smiled and threatened Pei Shiju.
Pei Shiju's meaning is very clear, that is, to join forces with Beisui to bully Nansui, Xu Shiji of course wants to fight with all his might, but he can fight, Mao Wenchen is very uncomfortable.
If Mao Wenchen helps Xu Shiji deal with Pei Shiju now, it is really unreasonable and too much to say.
However, can Mao Wenchen stand by and watch and not help each other? Obviously, that is absolutely not possible.
"We in Beisui are facing the north alone, Dou Jiande, Roy, and Gao Kaidao, and we are already a little powerless. In this way, if you can, after Xiao Xian is pacified, I wonder if Nansui can lead his troops north to help our army pacify Zhu Can?" Mao Wenchen said to Xu Shiji with a smile.
This is actually Mao Wenchen's ultimate goal, that is, to give Nan Sui a reason to lead his troops north, and to take Zhu Can's territory from Li Tang's mouth.
Pei Shiju saw through Mao Wenchen's idea, so he pushed the boat down the river, first gave this piece of land to Beisui, and then forced Mao Wenchen to transfer this land to Nansui, and finally, using this dispensable territory as a bargaining chip, forcing Nansui to agree to a two-year truce!
To put it simply, it is a white wolf with empty gloves, plus land in exchange for armistice time, otherwise, why should Nansui agree that the truce must be two years long?
Pei Shiju made a good start, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Ruofeng, of course these three brothers and sisters know how to negotiate with Nansui next.
So, Li Tang used the two territories of Xiao Xian and Zhu Can to talk repeatedly with Xu Shiji and Li Baiyao for nearly five hours, and finally, Nansui pretended to agree to a two-year truce.
In this negotiation, all three parties got what they wanted, which should be regarded as a win-win outcome, but if you calculate carefully, it will be obvious that Li Tang actually suffered a big loss.
Nansui was assigned the right to attack Xiao Xian and Zhu Can, Beisui was assigned to Dou Jiande, Luo Yi, and Gao Kaidao, and Li Tang was assigned to Li Gui, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, and Guo Zihe, and also got a two-year armistice.
Anyway, after Li Yuan got this result, he was overjoyed, he thought that Pei Shiju was simply amazing, and he had won so many benefits for himself, he was really the best?
