Xue Lingjun was ready to leave, but when she heard that Emperor Long Xuanen of Dakang had rejected Li Chenzhou's terms for peace talks, she couldn't help but change her mind. She thought she already knew something about Hu Xiaotian, but now she discovered that Hu Xiaotian had too much in him.
There are many things that he did not understand deeply. For example, he actually gave the grain he had worked so hard to grab to Long Xuanen with both hands. This was something that many people did not expect. In the eyes of ordinary people, Hu Xiaotian was simply superfluous, but after careful consideration, he just realized
You will find the beauty in it.
Xue Lingjun understood that Hu Xiaotian's gift of grain was definitely not out of respect for the monarch Long Xuan'en, but that he had already thought through the reason. This batch of grain and grass was a disaster rather than a blessing for him, so he gave the grain and grass to Long Xuan'en.
Well, it is tantamount to giving the conflict to Long Xuanen. In the eyes of many people, Hu Xiaotian lost the value of food and grass, but Hu Xiaotian put himself on the side of morality through the gift of 300,000 shi of food.
Zi is indeed an extraordinary person, far-sighted and far-sighted.
Ever since the new king Xue Daohong agreed to resolve the Yongjiang crisis through peace talks, Xue Lingjun knew that Xue Daohong had begun to regret the two previous blind conquests.
Therefore, he had to choose to endure and make concessions in the short term, and decided to send himself as an envoy to Dongliang County because he still had considerable hope in countering Hu Xiaotian. If Hu Xiaotian, under pressure, chose to lead all his men to the general
Yong surrendered, which was of course the most ideal result. However, Xue Daohong did not dare to put all the treasure on himself. At the same time, he sent Li Chenzhou as envoy to Kangdu, trying to get Emperor Long Xuanen of Dakang to submit first.
Judging from the current progress, the simultaneous diplomatic offensives are not ideal. Hu Xiaotian clearly refused to surrender, and Long Xuanen actually refused Dayong's favorable conditions for exchanging grain. If peace talks fail, there will be a war! According to common sense,
A full-scale war may follow, but Xue Lingjun believes that this war cannot be fought in the short term. Black Hu has created a lot of pressure on Dayong in northern Xinjiang. At present, Dayong's military focus is still on the northern defense line.
It was impossible to free up our hands to launch a full-scale attack on Dakang for a while. We couldn't even take care of eliminating Hu Xiaotian, a thorn in his side.
As a member of the royal family, Xue Lingjun can see Dayong's weaknesses better than anyone else. Since his brother Xue Shengkang died suddenly, Dayong's center of power has lost the strong cohesion it once had. Xue Daohong is incompetent in terms of ability and charm.
Comparable to his father. Xue Lingjun still remembers the words that the emperor entrusted to her before his death. She will try her best to help Da Yong maintain stability no matter what. However, from the current point of view, her painstaking efforts and dedication do not seem to be appreciated by Xue Daohong.
As his nephew understood, he even showed dissatisfaction with his excessive involvement in political affairs.
Jianping came behind her and whispered: "Your Highness, pack up, we can leave at any time." Because of Guo Zhenhai's injury, everyone in the mission began to become nervous. Hu Xiaotian is a person who does not follow rules.
If he really gets really angry, he will kill the mission mercilessly. If he really wants to do this, it will be his entourage who bear the brunt.
Xue Lingjun nodded and whispered: "How is Guo Zhenhai?"
Jian Ping said: "Mr. Liang looked at him and said that his meridians were injured by the shock. He may need to rest for half a year to recover." She sighed and said: "I didn't expect that Hu Xiaotian would start like this..." before she finished her words.
When she met Xue Lingjun's cold gaze, Jianping suddenly realized that she had said too much and lowered her head in fear.
Xue Lingjun raised his fingers and looked at his beautifully decorated nails. The expression on his face softened slightly. After a while, he said, "I changed my mind. I won't leave today."
Jianping's face was full of astonishment. She obviously didn't understand why Xue Lingjun suddenly made such a decision, and whispered: "Your Highness, Dongliang County is not a place to stay for a long time. We should leave as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."
Xue Lingjun said: "You girl, you are really taking care of more and more. I still need your guidance on what I should do?"
Jianping was so frightened that she knelt down with a plop and said shiveringly: "Princess, please don't misunderstand me. I am only thinking about the safety of the princess and have no intention of committing any crime."
Xue Lingjun smiled and said: "Forget it. Do you think I will really know you?"
Hu Xiaotian was quite surprised when he heard that Xue Lingjun didn't leave immediately. Although he didn't like Xue Lingjun's methods, he had to admire her courage. In fact, Xue Lingjun's idea of threatening Yu Tianxing with the lives of his family was nothing.
, I used the same method to deal with Chang Fanqi. In political struggle, means don't matter, what you really care about is the result. And there are no permanent friends or enemies in this world, only eternal interests.
Diplomacy must use both soft and hard tactics. Faced with Hu Xiaotian's toughness, Xue Lingjun had no choice but to give in. The real purpose of her mission was to spy on Hu Xiaotian's strength, and to gain as much benefit from Hu Xiaotian as possible.
Taking away the prisoners led by Qin Yangming was one of her intentions.
Before leaving Dongliang County, Xue Lingjun visited Hu Xiaotian again. Although Hu Xiaotian had been tit-for-tat with Xue Lingjun before, this guy was a good example of what it meant to treat people right. When he saw Xue Lingjun again, his attitude was much better, and the expression on his face was like a spring breeze.
He actually changed his name and called Xue Lingjun Sister Jun. His attitude was both ice and fire, which made Xue Lingjun truly realize how quickly this guy changed his face. Even Xue Lingjun's wisdom was a little overwhelmed.
News from Kangdu continued to be sent via flying pigeons, and more and more news was beneficial to him. Long Xuanen was not confused on the key issues, and was not confused by Dayong's peace talks conditions. In the end,
He still chose to support Hu Xiaotian, and Hu Xiaotian reciprocated the favor and publicly offered to support the capital with 300,000 shi of grain. This news had been deliberately spread. According to Hu Xiaotian's wishes, he wanted to let everyone in the world know his generosity and loyalty.
Let everyone be clear about the fact that you have almost exhausted all your food reserves, and do not continue to regard yourself as a target of public criticism.
Xue Lingjun came under the pretext of saying farewell. Although he had gone through a heated exchange of words with Hu Xiaotian last time, he did not show any embarrassment in this meeting. It was as if what happened before had never happened at all. He said softly: "Xiaotian
Brother, I came here specifically to say goodbye to you."
Hu Xiaotian also had a good attitude today, smiling and saying: "Why is Sister Jun leaving suddenly? Are you angry because of what happened to me last time?"
Xue Lingjun sighed quietly and said: "What happened last time was originally my fault. After I went back, I thought about it carefully. If it had been me, I would have been angry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have threatened Yu Tianxing with such means.
.Whether you believe it or not, I just said those words and had no intention of doing so."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I'm not right either. I've known Sister Jun for so long. How could I know who Sister Jun is? I should have believed you." These words were ambiguous. Of course he knew what Xue Lingjun was like.
This woman is by no means a kind person, I believe she will do whatever she can to her.
Xue Lingjun smiled slightly and said: "I also understand that you never do things right. In fact, I am here under your Majesty's entrustment. No matter what the outcome of the negotiation is, I don't want to affect you, my sister and my brother because of official business."
feelings between them."
Hu Xiaotian nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course, public is public, private is private, brothers, I can tell the difference clearly."
Xue Lingjun said: "Brother Xiaotian, you promised before that you would release Qin Yangming and the thousands of soldiers who were captured last time."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Has this happened before? If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it!"
Xue Lingjun cursed in his heart, brat, your face is getting thicker and thicker. You can still pretend to be confused about something you promised me, but you want to go back on your word?
Of course, Hu Xiaotian knew that Xue Lingjun could not persuade him to surrender, so he did the next best thing and implemented the release of the prisoners first. This mission could not return empty-handed. Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "Sister Jun, don't worry, I always do what I say, promise."
How can we forget what happened, but I can release him, and I have a small condition."
Xue Lingjun nodded, knowing that this guy was by no means as simple as a small condition. The expression on his face said: "Brother Xiaotian, just tell me what conditions you have."
Hu Xiaotian said: "After much thought, peace should be the most important thing. Although I did not initiate the two wars, when will retribution be repaid? It will not benefit anyone if we continue fighting with each other like this."
Xue Lingjun didn't know for a moment what the idea was in this guy's mind. He smiled and said, "Brother Xiaotian should have understood this a long time ago."
Hu Xiaotian said: "So I decided to repay evil with kindness. Not only will I return these prisoners to you, but I also plan to return Dongluocang to you."
Happiness came so suddenly that Xue Lingjun could hardly believe his ears. How could such a cheap thing happen in the world? With Hu Xiaotian's temperament, how could he be willing to suffer easily? Returning Dongluocang to Dayong in vain? How is it possible?
!Xue Lingjun finally calmed down and said softly: "Brother Xiaotian, you might as well tell me your conditions."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Sister Jun should understand my current situation. The emperor's decision to let me come to manage Dongliang County is actually a disguised form of exile for me. After I arrived here, everyone regarded me as a piece of fat.
, everyone wants to take a bite, and to tell you the truth, brother, I don’t feel safe at all.”
Xue Lingjun didn't respond, silently thinking about what this guy wanted to say?
