After Li Tai finished speaking, Changsun Jian and Tang Jin both had slightly cold expressions on their faces and remained silent.
They also knew that there was some disagreement between Li Tai and Yuchi Jiong. After all, Yuchi Jiong had previously sent an envoy back to the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office to condemn Li Tai for arbitrarily arranging personnel actions in Shu and concealing it.
Now Li Tai seized the opportunity of Yuchi's mistake and criticized him for his miscalculation. His dissatisfaction was palpable. This tit-for-tat attitude is not surprising.
But the problem at hand is that when the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office was discussing this matter, Grand Master Yuwen had made it clear that he did not want to hold Yuchi Jiong accountable, but now Li Tai is pursuing Yuchi Jiong. This is
This made the problem no longer just a dispute between Li Tai and Yuchi Jiong, but also caused a conflict between Li Tai and Grand Master Yuwen's attitude towards the matter.
Changsun Jian and Tang Jin were sent here as envoys to be responsible for communication between the inside and outside. Seeing Li Tai's attitude was so clear, they felt that the communication would be quite difficult.
After being silent for a while, Tang Jin spoke again: "This time Duke An of Wei ordered all the troops to go to Shu to fight, and he was also following orders. There was a lot of killing in Chengdu, and there was a reason for it. Now that it has happened, it is not appropriate to blame this person.
The Duke of Taiyuan also participated in the matter. It should be known that the plan at that time to use Wei An to lead the army was the result of the final plan. Now the army is sent out to attack the city and expand the territory. It has not been out of order. At present, the previous achievements have not been paid off.
But if you blame people, you will inevitably feel unfair."
When he said this, he saw Li Tai's eyebrows raised as if he was about to argue, so he quickly said: "Of course what Mr. Taiyuan said is true. When Wei An is used in this important role, he should do his best to do his best. But so far, it is true that he has done his best.
It cannot be praised as perfect. But now that the work has not been completed, it is too early to make a conclusion about the merits and demerits. Why not wait a little longer and discuss the merits and demerits in detail after the deed is completed, and make a fair decision?"
Sun Jian, the eldest son next to him, also nodded repeatedly and said: "A famous official of the Taiyuan Principality has outstanding merits, magnanimity, and a sage in mind. It is a blessing for the family and the country to have this person. But now the affairs of the family and the country are complicated, and the rest of the talents are careless. Only
Those who are worthy of one use also need to share their labors and perform tasks. They may not achieve superior results, but they can avoid being idle and wasted.
Moreover, compared with people like Duke Taiyuan, who are so talented and powerful, who among the others is not a mediocre person who only takes advantage of his position? Those who took advantage of it are simply that the Duke was incompetent, magnanimous and tolerant, and endured humiliation in the matter of assuming the position.
Just asking for help!"
As envoys, they are here to communicate, persuade and reach a certain consensus, but not to intensify the conflicts between them. Therefore, naturally they cannot just pass Li Tai's words back to the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office. Otherwise, let alone Grand Master Yuwen.
He would be so angry at these remarks that he would at least rebuke the two messengers.
Therefore, whether it was true or false, they had to comfort Li Tai, hoping that his mood would improve and he would be able to slightly change his reply to the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office.
After hearing Zhang Sunjian's fair words, Li Tai's expression softened slightly, but he would never change his attitude easily just because of these flattery words.
Whether Yuchi Jiong can continue to stay in Shuzhong is not a core issue for him. At present, he is mainly using this matter to test whether Yuwentai will make certain concessions when faced with his demands.
There is no turning back when this matter is started, and there will never be a situation where you will punish yourself with three cups and then return to the original status quo. If Yuwentai refuses to give in, then Li Tai will consider gradually applying pressure. Only by achieving this goal can he
It is the beginning of a new relationship and interaction model between the two parties.
But if Li Tai gives up the fight easily, he will no longer gain Yu Wentai's tolerance and understanding. Next, he will only make more deliberate efforts to evade his power step by step. The best result is nothing more than being recalled to the Central Investment Co., Ltd. and being idle.
After more than ten years of detours, he ended up living a retirement life ahead of schedule like his father-in-law Duguxin.
Therefore, even though the words spoken by Chang Sun Jian and others sounded nice, Li Tai still waved his hands ruthlessly and said: "Although you two praised me too much, when it comes to the state of mind of serving the country with loyalty, I will not hesitate to say anything modest. The more so, the more you observe,
The more difficult it is for people to tolerate flaws when it comes to things. I really don’t want to live with that kind of person who is arrogant and arrogant because of his status and position!
Therefore, I really don’t dare to boast about my magnanimity. As Changsun Changshi said, it is a pity that people are incapable of doing everything at the same time, so they dare not speak lightly about things they don’t know. But now the two of you have been ordered to come to inquire.
I really dare not hide what I feel and think in my heart.
Because I have met the Lord, I have achieved a little success, and I want to repay the favor and dare not slack off. Now that the Lord has asked me about things, I will give you detailed advice in order to do the best. Since I entered the palace, I have
You will be favored by being able to do things well, not by being good at dancing. Wei Angong has already shown his clumsiness at work, and he is not qualified to force me to change my principles of self-restraint and self-discipline!"
At this point, Li Tai also directly stated his bottom line. If your Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office can handle this matter on your own, I will naturally not say anything more. It will be useless anyway. But as long as you come and ask me, then
You must agree to my request and remove Yuchi Jong first, and then we can discuss the rest.
After hearing this, Changsun Jian and Tang Jin couldn't help but look at each other, each with a worried look on their face. They also heard that Li Tai's attitude was firm and could not be reversed by saying a few nice words.
For a while, both of them secretly complained about Yuchi Jiong. If you are asked to attack Shu, then you should attack Shu well. Why are you provoking Li Boshan? It would be fine if things can be done beautifully, but if the situation is like this, isn't that looking for exploitation?
In people's hearts, there is more or less a desire to be strong. The stronger the person, the more reasonable it is.
But regardless of the comparison of strengths and weaknesses, Li Tai's attitude of determined to get rid of Yuchi Jiong is also very problematic. As Tang Jin said, the matter is not completely over yet, and it is not appropriate to judge the merits and demerits prematurely. And now that the enemy is fighting
The Shu army is out on an expedition, and the sudden change of generals will undoubtedly make the soldiers who are fighting against Shu feel suspicious.
From this point of view, Li Tai also used his power to suppress others and went too far. He simply treated the war against Shu as a child's play and engaged in internal fighting for power, putting the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers who were fighting against Shu at risk.
Don't care anymore.
But now in the entire Western Wei Kingdom, only Li Tai can immediately provide effective reinforcements to Shu. Even the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office is now unable to flexibly mobilize reinforcements to go south for reinforcements. Then, any reason that prevents Li Tai from sending troops to reinforce must also be
There were mistakes, including Yuchi Jiong’s previous behavior of provoking Li Tai.
Seeing Li Tai's resolute attitude, Changsun Jian and Tang Jin also knew that there would be no good results if they continued to argue about this topic. At the moment, they still tried their best to find out more about Li Tai's inner thoughts, and then truthfully report to Grand Master Yuwen after returning home.
Report.
So after thinking for a while, Changsun Jian asked again: "It is true that the pressure on the border in Jingzhen cannot be ignored, but the situation in the middle of Shu also needs to be rescued urgently. But with Taiyuan Gong's decisiveness and perseverance in dealing with the situation, he must be able to have both."
Quan. The foreword of Duke Taiyuan's generous sacrifice is inspiring and touching. I would like to ask, how many disciples can Jingzhen use to reinforce Shuzhong now?"
Now that Li Tai has made his request clear, Changsun Jian has to find out how much he is prepared to pay, so that he can judge whether it is worth reaching an agreement.
Li Tai had already planned this. When he heard Chang Sun Jian raise this question, he continued: "Now there are more than 10,000 troops stationed in Chengdu. It cannot be said that they are alone and weak. They are temporarily alone because they are surrounded by enemies from all directions."
However, in fact, Brazil originally had a partial division brigade, but because the commander-in-chief failed to give orders, the brigade became trapped and stagnant, making it difficult to make great use. As long as we can abandon the past grudges, make flexible arrangements, and no longer be alone, the military strength will be alive."
Hearing this, Changsun Jian frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with this.
But before he could speak, Li Tai continued: "When I visited Hanmiang before, I also had many contacts with the people of Bashu. I tried hard to persuade them to return to Yi before the expedition to Shu. However, the people of Shu had narrow plans and had not agreed for a long time.
, the undecided matter has not been told to anyone. It was not until Master Wang entered Shu that these disciples were frightened and asked for help. They were greedy for my poor name in order to seek protection, or others would misunderstand that I was greedy for merit, but as long as it can benefit the cause
, I won’t take any evil accusations to heart.
Nowadays, the Shu people are relying on the crowd to treat them as unfavorable guests, which is a serious problem. If they can induce and show off the Brazilian disciples well and use the talents of the Shu people, they can also get twice the result with half the effort. However, because the atrocities in the past have shocked people, it is inevitable to be favored.
If there is a blockage, communication will be difficult. Wei Angong has a deep grudge with the Shu people and it is difficult to resolve, so he hopes to find another wise man to accomplish this.
As for Jingzhou, although the frontier affairs are critical, I have tried my best to raise troops, hoping to gather another five thousand troops to support Shu. Although my army has entered Shu to promote benevolence and justice, it is still stubborn.
, those who persist in evil must also be severely punished, and they must not be tolerated and foster evil to cause long-term unrest on the surface of the earth!"
When Changsun Jian and others heard Li Tai's statement, they felt that he was quite sincere. Although he seemed a bit stubborn in deposing Yuchi Jiong, he did not strive for the power to take charge in Shu. Moreover, as an intermediary party
Fang Zhenzhong has sent tens of thousands of troops in the war against Shu led by the Sino-Foreign Government. Such investment can definitely be regarded as an example for Fang Zhenzhong.
Of course, this is just their feeling as a bystander and a mouthpiece. As for how Grand Master Yuwen, who is the protagonist of the negotiation, feels about this, they don't know, or they don't want to worry about it.
They were unable to convince Li Tai of his stubbornness on some issues, so they could only convey his thoughts to Grand Master Yuwen without any modification. Otherwise, he was doing too much and making many mistakes.
Therefore, Changsun Jian and others did not stay here any longer. After confirming Li Tai's intention, they left and returned. After seeing off the envoy and his party, Li Tai did not continue to return to Miobei, but took the opportunity to carefully inspect Danjiangkou.
This shipbuilding base.
