The situation on the negotiating table always changes at any time according to the situation outside the court. It is unpredictable and difficult to fully grasp. Both Cen Wenwen and Liu Jie believed that the sneak attack on the Dongneiyuan garrison was planned secretly by Changsun Wuji, but they lacked the
Evidence, this is likely to be counterattacked by Guan Long, accusing Donggong of playing a "bitter flesh trick".
It seems very unreasonable, after all, it was Youtunwei who was beaten, but at this moment, it is likely to make Guan Long arrogant at the negotiation table.
After all, it is the East Palace that cares more about the success of the peace talks than Guan Long.
In other words, it is the Dong Palace Civil Service Group headed by Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen and others...
Whoever's demands are greater will be passive.

Yanshoufang.
In the side hall, Changsun Wuji, who had just asked his servant to rub his injured leg, was sitting at the table in front of the window, looking at the report sent back by Yu Wenshi and Kuai Ma, with a gloomy face and no sign of joy or anger.
Not only did Li Ji reject Yuwen Shiji's lobbying, he even allowed Cheng Yaojin to insult Yuwen Shiji... This made Changsun Wuji a little confused. Although Cheng Yaojin was vulgar and reckless at times, but now taking orders from Li Ji was a sign of war.
He had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't make the decision. How could a good person insult Yu Wenshiji like that? Li Ji had always kept a low profile and was never willing to take the initiative to make enemies with others. With his character, he would attack Guan Long even tomorrow.
Even if he declares war, he will never condone Cheng Yaojin’s insults against Yuwen Shiji’s dark history.
But Yu Wenshiji had sworn his word, and had already left angrily because he couldn't bear the humiliation, and was on his way back...
There may not be anything wrong with this.
Changsun Wuji threw the memorial aside, took a sip of tea from his teacup, and looked up out of the window, when he saw Linghu Defen walking in a hurry.
After a moment, Linghu Defen came in from the door and shouted angrily: "Changsun Fuji, how can you treat the armistice contract as if it were nothing and trample on the reputation of our Guanlong clan?"
The old man's beard and hair were all white. He was furious at this moment, his beard and hair were spread out, and his eyes were as wide as bells, like a responsible lion.
Changsun Wuji had a puzzled look on his face. He was deep in the city and was not angry at Linghu Defen's rudeness. He pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "I am so angry that I am hurting my body. Why is this? Sit down first to calm down. What's the matter?
Speak slowly."
Linghu Defen sat down, looked at Changsun Wuji's face suspiciously, and asked, "You don't know yet?"
Changsun Wuji had a look of confusion on his face: "What do you know?"
Linghu Defen frowned, feeling that Changsun Wuji was not disguising, but this man was cunning and cunning, so it was unknown whether he was pretending to be completely unaware...
He pushed away the tea that Changsun Wuji had poured himself, and said with a tough attitude: "Just now, Cen Wenwen sent people over to reprimand me, angrily scolding us for tearing up the armistice contract and sneak attack on the Youtun garrison in Dongneiyuan... Don't mention the auxiliary equipment.
You have no idea about this."
Changsun Wuji was stunned, and after a long time he said: "Why do I need to know about this? I have never issued any military orders for a surprise attack on Youtun Guard. Since the signing of the armistice contract, I have been gathering troops, preparing supplies, and restraining them.
Soldiers must not cause conflicts, so as not to damage the overall peace talks... Brother Ji Xin's accusations in person at this moment are completely unreasonable."
He was quite happy in his heart, but very unhappy on his face.
He is not disgusted with the peace talks, but resists the fact that the eldest son's family is excluded from the peace talks by other Guanlong families. Once the peace talks succeed, the greatest benefits will be divided up by all the Guanlong families. His eldest son Wuji is willing to take risks and spend all his energy.
What’s the point of planning all this?
Of course, peace talks are necessary. Now that Li Ji has occupied Tongguan and is about to enter the pass, the chaos in Chang'an will no longer cause any trouble. His strategy of trying to gather the world's elite troops to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop before the Anxi army returns to reinforcements is likely to fail.
, instead of letting Li Ji bring hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer the world in one fell swoop and become the veritable number one in the dynasty, it would be better for him to swallow his anger and negotiate peace with the East Palace.
Only by taking the initiative can we gain more benefits...
However, due to the pressure from various Guanlong families, in order to try to maintain the already riddled alliance, he had to hand over the initiative in the peace talks and retreated to Yanshoufang.
When the Youtun Guards in Dongneiyuan were attacked, the most important thing was Fang Jun's reaction. Was he to give up his troops due to pressure, or was he angry and raise troops to retaliate?
As long as Fang Jun retaliates, the current peace talks will be temporarily suspended. Both the civil servants in the East Palace and the Guanlong families will have to hand over the initiative in the peace talks...
To a certain extent, the current situation is what he and Fang Jun are willing to see. Then it depends on whether the two have enough tacit understanding to take the situation into their own hands again.
Of course, the final result must be that the peace talks continue. After all, both Donggong and Guanlong have to deal with Li Ji, a fierce tiger...
So before Linghu Defen could speak, he continued: "The sneak attack on the East Neiyuan was definitely not my fault. It must have been a 'bitter plan' staged by Fang Jun. He will definitely mobilize troops next."
Ma, take revenge on our army. Please wait a moment, brother Ji Xin, I will arrange for all armies to strengthen their defenses and beware of Fang Jun's sneak attack."
After saying that, he got up and went to the front hall, leaving Linghu Defen alone in the hall.
Linghu Defen snorted angrily, but there was nothing he could do against Changsun Wuji. Although the East Palace had just sent people to accuse Guan Long of brazenly attacking regardless of the contract, in fact, no one knew what was going on in the attack on the East Neiyuan. Changsun Wuji
Wuji is indeed very suspicious. After all, if he wants to take the leadership of the peace talks back from the Guanlong family, he must tear up the tacit agreement between the East Palace and Guanlong. However, in the absence of any evidence, no one can accuse Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji came to the main hall, clapped his hands, and dozens of Guanlong disciples who were busy in the spacious hall stopped. The noise fell silent for an instant, and everyone turned their heads and looked at Changsun Wuji in surprise.
Changsun Wuji called Yu Wenjie and several outstanding Guanlong disciples in front of him, with a solemn expression on his face: "Last night, Fang Jun sent troops to sneak attack on his military camp and staged a 'bitter flesh trick' to frame Guanlong and achieve his goal.
Destroy the purpose of the peace talks. If my prediction is correct, he must be mobilizing troops at this time and trying to launch a surprise attack on our army in retaliation. You listen to the order and immediately issue the order to the garrison everywhere. The tight defense may suddenly
If anyone encounters Fang Jun's surprise attack and is defeated, I will punish him severely!"
"Here!"
The disciples of Guanlong in the hall agreed in unison, and the crowd was excited.
These are the children who have been specially trained by each Guanlong family. Naturally, they know that their respective families value the peace talks. Now Fang Jun is so shameless. He wrote and performed a "bitter flesh trick" in an attempt to sabotage the peace talks. He is a Guanlong
Everyone's plans have come to nothing. How can we not be shocked and angry?
This stick is not a son of man!
Seeing the high morale of the Guanlong disciples in the hall, Changsun Wuji nodded with satisfaction, turned around and dragged his injured leg back to the side hall, sat on a chair, took a leisurely sip of tea, looked at Linghu Deben and asked
: "What does Brother Ji Xin plan to do?"
Linghu Defen blinked. The original anger had long since disappeared, replaced by deep confusion...
I came here to ask questions, but it was Changsun Wuji who came to ask me, "What do you want to do?"
He soon realized that since he came here, he had been led by Changsun Wuji and was completely passive.
This "Changsun Yin man" is indeed cunning and treacherous...
Gathering his mind, Linghu Defen said: "I don't care whether the incident in Dongneiyuan was done by you, the auxiliary machine, or it was Fang Jun's 'bitter plan'. The only thing is that the entire army can strengthen its defense, but it must not be taken on its own initiative."
Attack! Now Li Ji is about to send his troops into the pass, and his direction is still unclear. This is the most dangerous time. If Li Ji stands on the side of the East Palace, our Guanlong will be overthrown soon! Therefore, peace talks are still the top priority.
Only in this way can we counteract Li Ji's threat and eliminate the crisis of Guan Long Clan. I think the auxiliary machine must know this better than me."
Changsun Wuji frowned, considered for a moment, nodded and said, "Brother Ji Xin, don't worry, I am not a three-year-old child, so I will never act recklessly."
What he needs is a moderate confrontation with the East Palace to trigger tension, thereby taking over the lead in the peace talks, rather than actually sabotaging the peace talks.
But it is very clear that what Fang Jun wants is to really push the peace talks to the point of collapse. Therefore, the Guanlong army will inevitably face Fang Jun's crazy attack, and the Youtun Guards will be brave and good at fighting, supplemented by the Anxi Army.
The elites and more than 10,000 Tubo horsemen, their fighting power is simply extremely violent.
If the Guanlong army only takes a beating without fighting back, I am afraid it will suffer heavy losses...
Even with his deep city and sophisticated calculations, he still has to feel a headache and the situation is difficult to control.
