"What's the trouble for Concubine De? If you have this determination, just talk to Guzhi! Guzhi will never...never...treat his own woman badly, let alone let his own woman be wronged!"
"Husband..." Li Xiuning shouted softly and moved her, but her eyes wandered to the ground, not daring to look at Wu Xin.
However, Wu Xin's words made all the officials of the Tang Dynasty in the palace, the strong men who guarded Li Yuan, the Imperial Guards and the masters of the imperial court who surrounded the hall, all heaved a sigh of relief.
Regardless of the huge lineup of the Tang Kingdom, it seems that they have been prepared for a long time. However, they know very well that at most they will force Wang Wuxin and the Second Immortal to retreat. It is basically impossible to stay. They don't know how many people will die on their own side. How can they not start a fight?
Naturally the best!
Of course, on the other hand, out of awe of the Lord of Heaven and the good reputation of King Li Wuxin, everyone instinctively believed Wu Xin's words.
"Oh? I wonder what agreement King Li wants to make?"
Li Yuan's frightened and flustered expression was mostly reduced. He waved his hand and asked the Ouchi masters surrounding him to move away. He looked at Wu Xin curiously and asked.
"Let's make an agreement based on Concubine De's request..."
Wu Xin looked at Li Xiuning with a smile, then looked at Tang Wang Li Yuan and responded.
"Um?!"
Including Li Yuan and Li Xiuning, everyone was shocked, their thoughts were racing, but they were not sure what Wu Xin meant.
"Since Concubine De wants to fulfill her filial piety at the most critical moment in the Tang Dynasty, there is no reason why she can't do it!"
Wu Xin did not show off too much and responded quickly, then continued:
"Let Concubine De lead the army to guard one of the eight passes of Dongdu and see if it can be defended!"
"My king?!"
Li Xiuning covered her mouth and shouted softly, which was both touching and reminding.
Unexpectedly, King Li would personally "risk" going deep into the enemy's country for her sake.
However, King Li is the head of a country after all. If he delays the important affairs of the country for the sake of a woman, wouldn't he become a foolish king? Even she will be infamy, and even the Tang Dynasty will receive a lot of criticism.
"How to say it specifically?"
Tang Wang Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he secretly communicated with Liu Wenjing, Li Xiaogong and other important ministers, and asked impatiently as if he was afraid that Wu Xin would regret it.
Although they still don't quite understand what Wu Xin means. However, compared to the current situation, it is definitely not a bad thing.
Wu Xin had already prepared a plan and quickly responded: "Let Concubine De lead an army alone to guard a pass. If it cannot be defended, Gu will order the withdrawal of the army and no longer interfere with the Tang Dynasty; if it can be defended... what should the King of Tang think?"
"
"Um?!"
Li Yuan frowned. How could he be unreliable? Could this be Li Wang's conspiracy?
Because the Tang State is now at a disadvantage and in a passive state, and Li Xiuning is asked to guard the first level, if it is faced with the Li Army, wouldn't the result be controlled by King Li?
Li Yuan was about to object, but Li Xiaogong winked at Li Yuan and asked first: "What is the scale? Which level?"
Wu Xin did not answer, but looked at Li Xiuning and asked, "What do you think, Concubine De?"
Wu Xin reacted like this and handed over the decision-making power to Li Xiuning, which made the suspicious Li Yuan and everyone in the palace look relieved a lot. Unless it was a conspiracy between King Li and Li Xiuning, it would more or less prove King Li's sincerity.
"This..." Li Xiuning, who was originally prepared, was confused and hesitant because of Wu Xin's intervention!
Wu Xin smiled and encouraged: "It doesn't matter if you say it straight, just follow your heart..."
Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Xiaogong and other people in the hall couldn't help but look at Li Xiuning, which made Li Xiuning extremely stressed.
"My true heart...if possible, I don't want to waste any soldiers from the Tang Dynasty. I just want to build and train my own army, and just give my last strength to my father..."
The expression on Li Xiuning's pretty face changed several times. She gritted her teeth and spoke slowly and hesitantly. At the end of the sentence, her voice became more and more laughing as she spoke, and was almost inaudible.
The eyes of everyone in the Tang Dynasty all brightened up, and they looked at Wu Xin again. Most of them were gloating about the misfortune, but more of them were curious about Li Xiuning's answer.
Li Xiuning, her surname is Li after all!
Surprisingly, Wu Xin had a calm expression on his face and asked calmly: "Well! Which level does Concubine De want to guard?"
"Is this... Yique Pass?"
Li Xiuning's face showed tangle and conflict. He hesitated for a moment and then answered bravely.
"fine……"
Wu Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and chose "Yi Queguan", which proved that Li Xiuning was not completely biased towards the Tang Dynasty, but still more or less cherished the love between husband and wife.
Nowadays, the two most important routes between the two powerful enemies of the Tang State are Hangu Pass in the west and Shenyuan Pass in the south. Because these are the necessary routes for the main force of the Sui State and the main force of the Li State in the west, they cannot be bypassed.
, it just takes a lot of time and consumption to bypass the two levels.
Yique Pass is located in the southwest and belongs to the offensive route of the Sui Empire, not Liguo.
Obviously, Li Xiuning didn't want to be separated from Wang Wuxin, but he also didn't want everything he did to be meaningless.
"What does Prince Tang think?"
While his thoughts were changing, Wu Xin still looked at Li Yuan with a normal expression and asked.
"Da, da, da..."
Li Yuan was a little disappointed, but secretly relieved. He said that Li Xiuning was probably not colluding with King Li, but was just worried about King Li's conspiracy. He couldn't help but tap the armrest of the throne and began to think deeply.
"The Lijun will not launch an offensive before the results of the agreed agreement appear, right?"
Li Xiaogong thought more about it and asked first.
"Okay!" Wu Xin responded readily, so generously that it was hard to believe.
"Li Jun... will Li Congress help?" Liu Wenjing asked immediately.
Wu Xin responded readily again: "It's up to you, whatever you want..."
"Well……"
Now everyone in the Tang Kingdom was speechless. King Li was too talkative, right?
what the hell?!
"Hmph! What if Empress De Fei holds the checkpoint? Do you want our country to surrender to King Li?" According to rumors, Li Shentong, the strongest member of the Li family, asked with a cold snort.
This point is something that Li Wang Wuxin has not stated clearly before, and it must be clarified.
"This is best, is there any problem?" Wu Xin asked in a calm tone.
"Will the Li Kingdom and the Great Sui Dynasty be able to communicate with each other? However, if the Great Sui Dynasty and the Li Kingdom collude, will there be any forces in the world that can resist the unification of the Li Kingdom? This can basically be ruled out..."
These are the common doubts and thoughts of everyone in the Tang Dynasty, including Li Xiuning, Eunuch Hua, and Hong Bo.
On the surface, it seems that Li Wang Wuxin is really just trying to help Li Xiuning, which is so weird!
It's just so weird that it makes people confused and suspicious.
Of course, the only possibility is that King Li was too confident in Concubine De and believed that he would be able to hold on.
Facing the main force of the Sui Dynasty, even if Li Wang Wuxin personally guarded it, he might not be able to hold it, right? Where does the confidence come from? This is what everyone is puzzled about.
"Let's change the conditions! Just Hangu Pass..."
After all, Tang Wang Li Yuan was also a powerful man of his generation who was both civil and military. He was a little indecisive, but also wise. He gritted his teeth and suddenly suggested.
The importance of Hangu Pass to the Sui Empire can be imagined.
The Sui Dynasty might have despised or abandoned Yique Pass for some reason, but they would never abandon Hangu Pass, let alone allow Tang to surrender.
If this matter is a conspiracy between the two countries, then no force can stop Li Guo from reunifying, not even Tang Guo knows how to understand each other. (~^~)
