They both know what kind of temper Xiao Mohe is. Xiao Mohe is just a straight-laced person, and he always likes to accept death when doing things. Since he has identified Chen Shubao, he will not change even if the earth collapses.
own intentions.
Li Xingchen clearly remembered that in history, the reason why Chen Shubao was able to escape Chen Shuling's assassination and subsequent raising of troops was mainly because of Xiao Mohe who was guarding him. Chen Shuling was only one step away from the throne, but in the end it was because of the existence of Xiao Mohe
And drink hatred.
Of course, Li Xingchen didn't want to comment on whether Xiao Mohe's effort to protect Chen Shubao was right or wrong for Nan Chen. After all, compared to Chen Shubao, Chen Shuling, who had experienced fighting on the battlefield, had done many ridiculous things, but at least he was a powerful enemy.
I won’t be living in a state of drunkenness and dreaming for now.
As Xiao Shilian said, with Xiao Mohe's character, even if Chen Shuling uses gold, silver, beauty, bribes, coercion or inducement, it is impossible to change his position. Therefore, what is waiting for Xiao Mohe now is Chen Shuling's win over, but it won't be long.
This solicitation may turn into outright hostility.
"In this three-acre land of Zhongli City, even if the governor of Yangzhou is very brave, he would not dare to do anything to my father." Xiao Shilian frowned and said, "Once things get too big, he will not be able to do anything to him.
Good thing."
Li Xingchen sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and took a sip: "Therefore, if Chen Shuling really wanted to deal with General Wu Yi, he would never choose to be in Zhongli City. And neither General Wu Yi nor you or I would choose to do it.
He will be allowed to go to Yangzhou, so the remaining choices for the governor of Yangzhou are very few, it can even be said that there are only two."
"One is Jinghu, and the other is the capital." Pei Zilie said softly, answering Li Xingchen's question, "If we take action in Jinghu, we can defeat General Wu Yi, and secondly, we can scare Governor Fan and force him to be neutral.
He even directly turned to the governor of Yangzhou, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone."
Xiao Shilian picked up the wine glass and looked at the wine, but he was not interested at all: "But it is a bit risky to be in Jinghu. Once the governor Fan takes the lead in turning against the prince and his father, then the gains outweigh the losses for the governor of Yangzhou."
Li Xingchen nodded, reached for some wine and wrote two words on the table: "Then his best or even only choice is this. With this move, General Wu Yi will have to return to the capital.
Compared with Jinghu, Beijing is also a good battlefield."
Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian poked their heads out and took a look at the same time, both showing complicated expressions.
Li Xingchen stood up suddenly: "The top priority is not to drink and have fun here. We must go to see General Wu Yi immediately. The interests and risks here must be clearly stated. Even if General Wu Yi has nothing to do, we must be prepared in advance."
"As you should!" Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian both understood the implications and nodded hurriedly.
Li Xingchen was the first to walk outside. Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian were both preoccupied. One was thinking about why he felt himself getting sucked deeper into the vortex, while the other was thinking that Chen Shuling was not Wu Mingche after all. This time, his father
And how to deal with it.
However, what is on their mind is what is on their mind, and the two of them now have no other choice but to follow Xiao Mohe's footsteps. When he saw Li Xingchen flinging his sleeves and leaving without hesitation, Xiao Shilian couldn't help but chuckle and took the lead to follow.
.
Pei Zilie sighed and followed.
Ever since he stepped into the Xiao Mansion this morning, he had no other choice. Even without the appearance of Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian, he would only go deeper and deeper into this whirlpool.
On the table behind the three of them, the word "Meeting" written with wine slowly evaporated with the wind blowing from the window.
After a while, there was no trace of him again.
————————————————-
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Xiao Mohe, who was sitting at the table and considering something, suddenly raised his head and saw Xiao Shilian and the other three leaving and returning. He was a little surprised: "Didn't you go to the street?
, why did you come back so soon?"
And when he saw Pei Zilie's figure next to him, he couldn't help but frown, obviously realizing that something was wrong: "But what happened?"
Li Xingchen, Xiao Shilian, and Pei Zilie looked at each other and took a step forward: "Don't General Wu Yi still know about the Sifang Building?"
"Sifanglou?" Xiao Mohe was startled.
And Xiao Shilian hurriedly repeated the fight that just happened in the Sifang Building. Xiao Mohe only paused for a moment and probably vaguely understood what was going on. He stood up suddenly with his hands on the table: "How is the situation over there in the Sifang Building now?"
"It has calmed down. In addition, the child has dispatched a group of father's personal guards to rush over without authorization. The matter was urgent and I was unable to report it to father in time. Please forgive me." Xiao Shilian stepped forward and answered, "In addition, General Pei also mobilized a group of guards.
With these two teams in the Commander-in-Chief's Central Army, even those guys who have eaten the courage of a bear and a leopard will not dare to do more mischief!"
"Very good, you did a good job," Xiao Mohe breathed a sigh of relief, turned around the thing on the table that he had been staring at in a daze, pointed at it and said, "You all come and take a look at this.
, this time it’s really getting more and more interesting...”
Li Xingchen had vaguely guessed something based on Xiao Mohe's expression, and Xiao Shilian stepped forward and took the thing from Xiao Mohe's hand. Before he opened it, Xiao Shilian's expression had already changed: "This is...
·edict?!"
And Pei Zilie couldn't help but take a breath and looked at Li Xingchen.
He could clearly remember the words he had just written on the elegant room in Sifanglou.
Xiao Mohe obviously had no intention of continuing to show off, and nodded solemnly: "Although the rewards from the army have not been received yet, His Majesty has already taken the first step to summon the Governor He to return to the capital, in the name of reporting on the gains and losses of this Luliang battle.
"
Li Xingchen frowned and looked around. Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie's expressions were obviously very solemn. Although they had already calculated the battlefield chosen by Yangzhou Governor Chen Shuling for himself and Xiao Mohe, they never expected that this battle would come.
So fast.
"This time in the capital..." Li Xingchen's voice was slow, and there was even a hint of trembling in it. Even as a man of two generations, he was sincerely worried about the dangerous situation he was facing, "It's not just about gains and losses.
······In the final analysis, we won the battle of Luliang this time. In addition, the victory and defeat of the battle must have been clearly written by the governor in the battle report. Now it is very likely that we will not let the two generals return to the capital.
Your Majesty’s true intention.”
While Xiao Shilian handed the edict to Li Xingchen, he said with a wry smile: "Whether it is His Majesty's original intention or not, this is such a high standard of the edict. Even if my father disagrees, there is nothing he can do. He just didn't expect...
·The front-foot Sifang Building incident has just been concluded, and the back-up move has already arrived. The connection is so seamless that I have to admire this person's plan."
