Li Shimin stood up suddenly and stared at Qin Qiong's steps in disbelief.
Are you telling me a story here?
Changsun Wuji also opened his mouth in disbelief and stared.
"Afterwards, His Highness King Qi ordered Su Dingfang to return Zhou Wenju's head..."
Qin Qiong’s story is still being told.
"Just wait!"
Li Shimin rudely interrupted Qin Qiong's words and asked: "Did you just say... Yuan Ji defeated Jingde with a single blow?"
Changsun Wuji stared straight at Qin Qiong Buqu, waiting for Qin Qiongbu's answer.
Qin Qiong Buqu nodded with a grimace, "I witnessed this with my own eyes."
Li Shimin was a little distracted, "Impossible...impossible! How could Yuanji be Jingde's opponent?"
Changsun Wuji also thought it was impossible, so he also said, "It's even more impossible to defeat Jingde with just one blow..."
They all know how capable Li Yuanji is.
Li Yuanji loves to fight, and his fighting skills are pretty good. He can be regarded as a good player.
But compared with Yuchi Gong, it is more than one level behind.
The two of them were also martial arts practitioners, and they knew very well how big the gap was between Li Yuanji and Yu Chi Gong. They also knew that it was basically impossible for Li Yuanji's skills to match that of Captain Chi Gong.
After all, a person is born to use weapons, and it seems that weapons like weapons are tailor-made for him.
One is an acquired talent. Although he has talent, he only has talent.
The gap between two people is like a chasm.
Li Yuanji could not be Yu Chigong's opponent in terms of skills.
Qin Qiong's story understands the reactions of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, because after learning that Li Yuanji defeated Yuchi Gong with a single blow, his reaction was worse than that of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji.
He did not dare to disturb Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji and continued to talk about what Li Yuanji did later.
When he said that Li Yuanji threw the heads of Zhou Wenju and Cui Yuanxun in front of Yuchi Gong and despised Yuchi Gong as a disloyal and unjust person, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji came to their senses.
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji's pupils shrank.
"So... so cruel..."
Changsun Wuji said with a trembling voice.
What Li Yuanji said to Yuchi Gong surprised him far more than Li Yuanji defeated Yuchi Gong with one blow.
He was not only surprised, but also a little scared.
If Li Yuanji is slandering Yu Chigong, that's fine. As long as he can explain it clearly, that will be fine.
But Li Yuanji did not slander Wei Chigong.
In order to gain credit, Yuchi Gong fought against his colleagues and ignored Li Yuanji's royal orders. He did everything openly and was even pointed out by Li Yuanji.
This kind of fighting against fellow soldiers for merit is actually not uncommon on the battlefield.
But it's one thing to be called out, and it's another thing not to be called out.
If Li Yuanji, as Li Yuanji, points this matter out, then the matter cannot be solved.
If this matter cannot be properly resolved before it becomes public, then the reputation of disloyalty and unjustness will completely fall on Yuchi Gong.
Yu Chigong will no longer be able to behave as a human being.
Li Yuanji not only defeated Yuchi Gong, but also broke Yuchi Gong's heart with his words. What's more cruel, he also ruined Yuchi Gong's reputation.
"Destroying a person's reputation is like killing his parents..."
Li Shimin gritted his teeth.
Li Yuanji was so cruel that he pinned Yuchigong into the mud.
You must know that in this era of loyalty, filial piety and justice, people who bear the name of disloyalty and unjustness are no different from rats crossing the street.
"My general, General Niu, and General Wu are determined to restore the reputation of General Yuchi before this matter spreads out. But my general can't speak in front of His Highness King Qi, so he specially sent a lowly official to report to His Highness and ask His Highness to mediate the matter.
.”
Qin Qiong said with a solemn expression.
Li Shimin had no time to care about Yu Chigong's injury, nor did he have time to worry about Li Yuanji causing trouble for him again. He looked at Changsun Wuji with an ugly face and asked: "Auxiliary machine, is there anything you can do?"
Changsun Wuji thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The only solution now is to return double the enemy's heads, and then send Duke Jiang to negotiate an agreement. I hope His Highness King Qi can spare Jingde."
The reason why Li Shimin asked Changsun Wuji if there was anything he could do was actually to ask Changsun Wuji if he wanted to intercede and ask Li Yuanji to let Yuchi Gong go.
Changsun Wuji felt that Li Shimin was not suitable to come forward in person, so he gave another solution.
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Tandouba is in Mingshui City. If he can persuade Yuan Ji, the matter will not come to me."
Tanduba is the word for Qu Tutong.
In order to show his closeness, Li Shimin used words when addressing his subordinates in private.
Changsun Wuji thought about it again, sighed and said: "Then we can only ask Duke Xun to come forward..."
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly widened.
Yin Qiao already owes Li Yuanji his life. If Yin Qiao owes Li Yuanji another favor, can Yin Qiao still follow him loyally?!
"Why……"
Changsun Wuji saw Li Shimin's expression and guessed Li Shimin's thoughts, but he had no words and just let out a long sigh.
In order to show their loyalty to Li Shimin, most of the people under Li Shimin had almost no contact with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, which also resulted in them being unable to talk to Li Yuanji.
At the moment, the only people under Li Shimin who can talk to Li Yuanji are Qu Tutong, Yin Qiao, and Luo Shixin.
The problem is, Li Yuanji just saved Luo Shixin's life.
Luo Shixin was grateful to Li Yuanji. It was uncertain whether he would leave the Prince of Qin's Mansion and work for the Prince of Qi's Mansion in order to repay Li Yuanji for saving his life.
It is simply impossible for Luo Shixin to plead for Yuchi Gong.
So only Qu Tutong and Yin Qiao could come forward.
The choice can only be made by Li Shimin whether to let Yin Qiao owe Li Yuanji a favor and protect Yu Chi Gong, or to let Yu Chi Gong live with a name of disloyalty and unrighteousness.
"Is there no other way?"
Li Shimin stared at Changsun Wuji and asked.
Changsun Wuji frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness should not bow to His Highness King Qi."
Li Yuan promised that as long as Li Shimin pacified Liu Heitai, he would pass the crown prince's position to Li Shimin. Now that Liu Heitai was about to be pacified, Li Shimin's crown prince position was about to be obtained.
For Yuchi Gong, he went to beg Li Yuanji. What if some rumors spread and the crown prince's position was about to be taken away?
Yuchi Gong was labeled as a disloyal and unjust person by Li Yuanji.
Li Shimin intercedes for an unfaithful and unjust person, does that mean there is also something wrong with Li Shimin's moral character?
Li Shimin's moral character is questionable, so what qualifications does Li Shimin have to be a prince?
Although this matter is small, it cannot be used by others to exploit it.
Li Yuan has promised the crown prince to Li Shimin three times. He has regretted it twice before. No one can say whether he will regret it the third time.
If Li Yuan still wants to go back on his word, then Li Shimin's plea for Yuchi Gong will be infinitely magnified, and finally become a powerful excuse for Li Yuan to go back on his word.
Li Shimin must be impeccable so that Li Yuan can't find an excuse to regret it, so that he can have a chance to sit on the throne of the prince.
Li Shimin knew that this matter was not feasible when he saw that Changsun Wuji would not let him come forward to intercede for Yuchigong in person.
"Then let someone send three times the enemy's heads first, and then let Tandouba negotiate peace and see if the matter can be resolved. If not, please ask Kaishan to come forward."
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said fiercely at the end: "As soon as this matter is settled, Yuan Ji will be transferred to Weize Pass immediately."
Li Shimin was already suffering from a headache due to Li Yuanji's torment, and he was no longer willing to let Li Yuanji stay by his side for one more minute.
Changsun Wuji nodded heavily.
It is indeed necessary to transfer Li Yuanji away immediately. If Li Yuanji is allowed to stay, Li Yuanji might cause some trouble again.
As for why Li Yuanji's military force suddenly became stronger and why he was suddenly able to crush Yuchi Gong, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji didn't pay much attention.
Just look it up later and know the inside story, so don't worry too much.
Li Yuanji's force has become stronger, but it won't affect anything.
If Li Yuanji risked his life and led his soldiers to fight in the midst of thousands of troops, then he would be worthy of attention and concern.
Being brave but not brave and being brave but not brave are completely different concepts.
Almost all of the unparalleled generals on the battlefield are brave and brave.
A general who is brave but not brave is not worthy of being called a fierce general.
No matter how powerful a person is, if he is willing to fight with his life, that's all.
"That Su Dingfang sent someone to check! Then ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Jingde, and then order someone to send some medicinal materials to Jingde!"
Compared to Li Yuanji, Li Shimin paid more attention to Su Dingfang.
The same is true for Changsun Wuji, "There is some information about Su Dingfang in the documents recording enemy generals. I will send someone to check it in detail and report it back to His Highness."
As for Jingde, I will take good care of it, so please don’t worry, Your Highness."
Li Shimin nodded solemnly.
Changsun Wuji waved to Qin Qiong's Buqu and other people in the tent. After Qin Qiong's Buqu and others exited, Changsun Wuji said: "The night is already deep, Your Highness should rest.
We are going to attack Quzhou tomorrow, so there is no room for failure."
Li Shimin exhaled a breath and responded.
Changsun Wuji stood up, bowed, and exited the tent.
After Changsun Wuji left, Li Shimin did not rest. Instead, he sat alone in the tent and meditated. No one knew what he was thinking.
…
Li Shimin thought about it all night and stayed up all night.
Li Yuanji had a good sleep, and he slept until the red sun was shining brightly, then he lazily got up.
Qu Tutong, Luo Shixin, and Su Dingfang arrived at the door of Li Yuanji's bedroom early. When they saw that Li Yuanji was awake, they all came forward.
Li Yuanji looked at three grown men, one old, two strong, standing in front of him, and said with a depressed look: "Do you have the habit of spying on men sleeping?"
Qu Tutong, Luo Shixin, and Su Dingfang were all stunned. After coming back to their senses, they all smiled bitterly.
Qu Tutong bowed and said, "I ask your Highness to forgive you for barging in so rashly. I have important matters to discuss with Your Highness, so I am waiting for Your Highness at the door."
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Qu Tutong, "What's the important matter?"
