The eyes of Li Xingchen, Dai Cai and others fell on Gu Yewang at the same time. Gu Yewang and the others had a lot of contact with him, but this was the first time they saw Gu Yewang in such a panic. It seemed that something incredible had happened.
Dai Cai realized something and waved his hand to the subordinates around him to leave first. At the same time, he looked at Li Xinchen for instructions, and Li Xinchen whispered: "You can stay here, it doesn't hurt to listen."
After receiving Li Xingchen's permission, Dai Caigang nodded slightly and took a step forward to salute Gu Yewang. However, Gu Yewang was not in the mood to return the salute. He stretched out his hand to hold his chest and said breathlessly: "General.
, the court agreed!”
"Mr. Gu, please take a breath. What does the court agree to?" Li Xingchen had not yet come to his senses, and Dai Cai was also a little surprised.
King Gu Ye hurriedly explained: "The imperial court, the imperial court agrees to the general's entry into the capital, and is also willing to allow the general to lead his troops into the capital to boast of his merits."
"Are you serious?" Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, while Dai Cai also looked surprised. Neither of them expected that the court would agree so readily, so much so that Li Xinchen even suspected that he had heard wrongly.
King Gu Ye solemnly nodded: "Although His Majesty has not yet issued an edict, he has already given such approval to Xu Shanxin's memorial. The imperial court sent people 800 miles away to rush over. Xu Shanxin and his subordinates have just arrived in Shu County.
If you see them together, you can’t go wrong.”
Li Xinchen frowned, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. In fact, he did not agree so easily as the court would. After all, how could Chen Xu's suspicious character allow Li Xinchen to dance with a gun under his nose?
Stick. Therefore, when he first proposed this proposal, Li Xingchen also had the attitude that he might as well give it a try if he had the chance.
The fundamental reason why he did this was to reach an agreement with Chen Xu, but not to let Chen Xu attack him directly in Jiankang Mansion, and at the same time, he could also express his disobedience to the Nanchen court. The main purpose was actually
Still dealing with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Xinchen did not want Chen Xu to attack rashly.
But even if Chen Xu didn't agree, Li Xingchen didn't have other options. For example, he had already started to contact Xiao Mohe and even Xu Ling and Wu Mingche in the court, in order to at least reach an agreement with them. As for what they said
How much influence it can have on Chen Xu is unknown, but Li Xingchen couldn't not even try.
King Gu Ye took several long breaths before he finally regained his breath. Apparently, the rush from the city to the school grounds consumed a lot of energy. He said in a deep voice: "General, the imperial court agreed so simply.
Is there something fishy? Or is His Majesty really not planning to deal with us anymore?"
Of course, Li Xingchen didn't believe that such a good thing could happen in the world. Chen Xu had always regarded him as a thorn in his side, so how could he just let him go? It can only be said that this was a compromise that Chen Xu had reached with himself. As for this
It is unclear how many demands there are behind the compromise.
Li Xingchen would not be so naive as to think that Chen Xu would just agree. There would inevitably be several wranglings over this matter, but at least the tone of the whole matter has been set now.
"Let's not panic, wait and see," Li Xingchen said after careful consideration, "Your Majesty must have other decrees, otherwise the imperial decree would have been issued long ago."
After a pause, Li Xingchen turned his head and looked at Dai Cai: "But we don't have to wait in vain like this. We have to start selecting soldiers now."
Dai Cai couldn't help but asked curiously: "General, how many soldiers should we deploy?"
Dai Cai asked this most pointed question, and King Gu Ye also pricked up his ears. After all, how many soldiers and horses Li Xingchen brought was related to the nature of his entry into Beijing. If Li Xingchen only brought a few hundred people, I'm afraid there would be no one in the entire Bashu system.
People would allow him to go, and if Li Xingchen brought two to three thousand people, I'm afraid Chen Xu would really have trouble sleeping and eating.
Li Xingchen smiled bitterly: "The imperial court agreed so readily because it probably wants to continue to struggle with us over the number of soldiers and horses. As long as the number of soldiers and horses can be reduced to a certain level, it will naturally not cause any big trouble."
"Isn't that the same as a sheep entering a tiger's mouth!" King Gu Ye objected immediately, "We must not make concessions to the court on this matter."
Although Dai Cai did not speak, he nodded solemnly, obviously expressing the same opinion. Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "Let's take a look at the attitude of the court first. Don't panic on our side. We are not the ones who should panic now...
···”
King Gu Ye and Dai Cai looked at each other in surprise, thoughtfully.
This time, the imperial court did not dwell too much on Li Xinchen's request, but agreed straightforwardly. This shows that the imperial court needs Li Xinchen at least now, and also wants to know Li Xinchen's attitude on the current situation, so it needs Li Xinchen to come to Beijing. Since
In this way, then the entire tone has been set. What should be panicking is the eagerness to win more victories in the battle with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, rather than the current failure of the court, which can not interfere with these things at all and develop the military in Bashu with peace of mind.
and the economy and sit back and watch the ups and downs of Li Xinchen.
During negotiations, if one side is panicked, then the other side should act calmer, so that they may get more benefits.
"This matter will be like this for the time being. Send Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie to come to Shu County as soon as possible. I have something important to discuss with them." Li Xingchen ordered, and then looked up at the sky, "That's all, it seems that there is no way to be here today.
After dinner, I will go back to the city first, Zidong. Tomorrow's drill must be properly arranged, and I should come and report to X after the drill tomorrow!"
The imperial court suddenly expressed its position. Even if Li Xingchen was not in a hurry to express his opinions, he still had to reach an agreement with his subordinates first and discuss a more suitable range. Naturally, he had no time to continue watching the drills in the school field.
Li Ping, Gu Yewang and others responded hurriedly, and Dai Cai also gave way.
Li Xingchen frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and walked straight down from the general platform.
And when Li Xingchen left, several generals immediately came up curiously:
"General, why is Mr. Gu running over here sweating profusely?"
"That's right. Did something big happen?"
"Is it possible that the imperial court or the Zhou people are making things difficult for us, and are we preparing for war?"
"Really, we have been holding our breath for a long time. If anyone dares to bully us, we can't let them leave unscathed!"
Seeing several generals talking to each other and starting to gear up and prepare for war, Dai Cai suddenly felt dumbfounded. However, these things have not been settled yet, so he can only put these things into perspective.
Several militants cursed.
Several generals, such as Monk Zhang Er, were confused and looked at Dai Cai walking away quickly. They didn't know where they made the mistake.
