After receiving Xue Shou's affirmative reply, Du Ruhui felt relieved. Even though their consequences after talking about not agreeing were just passing by, in fact, they were really not relaxed at that time.
"You are asking questions here and there, looking forward and backward, which is not fun at all!" Du Ruhui punched him in the shoulder.
Xue Shou was speechless. Who would not look forward and backward in such a matter?
"Keming, actually I never thought that the king would seize the throne, but after listening to you just now, I suddenly realized that it is not surprising that the king has such an idea."
"Oh, you can draw inferences from one instance, so please tell me." Du Ruhui let go of him, his tone was very relaxed and freehand.
Xue Shou looked around and found that there was still no one coming and going, so he said calmly: "I think the king must understand that the dispute between the prince and the king of Qin is inevitable, and as a prince of the clan, he must not be able to stay out of it. The prince
Although he has gained fame,
But the King of Qin has made great contributions to the court. Now the King of Qin has won many great victories in foreign campaigns, and is highly valued by the saints. One day, ambition grows, and I am afraid that it will bring disaster to Xiao Qiang again. Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for the king to have such an idea.
should."
"If the king relies on the prince, he will be hostile to the king of Qin. If the king relies on the king of Qin, he will be afraid of the prince. The king... he will also be in trouble."
Having said this, Xue Shou sighed.
If he hadn't said it before, he didn't understand why the King of Chu wanted to seize the legitimate son. But now, he understood. As long as the King of Chu wants to do something, he will become the target of the Crown Prince and the King of Qin.
Instead of being in a dilemma, it is better to start the fire yourself.
Du Ruhui nodded and said: "You are right. Since the end of the Jin Dynasty, when the emperor changed his throne, he never looked at his direct descendants, but at his own strength. King Qin now has military power in his hands and has great influence in the army. Even if the prince ascends the throne in the future, I'm afraid he will not
It's hard to tolerate him. What's more, if the King of Qin really has outstanding military exploits, how can he be willing to give up the throne to the crown prince?"
"You don't know the current situation in the court. Behind the prince is the Shandong family, and behind King Qin is the Guanlong family. These two forces are bound to fight. We are making a big bet with the king. King Qin and his civil and military personnel
It’s also a big gamble. It’s just that King Qin’s chances of winning are now greater.”
"But from your tone, I think the king has a greater chance of winning." Xue Shou couldn't help but joke.
Du Ruhui said mischievously: "Actually, I'm just pretending. Your Majesty and I have no idea yet."
Xue Shou glanced at him, but he didn't believe it.
"In any case, you should repay your kindness by eating the king's salary. Since the king and Ke Ming can trust Xue Suo, then Xue Suo should do his best."
Du Ruhui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't force yourself."
"Don't force it." Xue Shou sighed: "After all, I am also a commoner, and I want to make a difference in the Tang Dynasty."
Who can refuse the opportunity to follow the dragon's merits?
As Du Ruhui said, such gambles abound in history.
At nightfall, Li Zhiyun returned from inspecting the camp and looked at the map of the Nanyang area in the camp. At this time, Xue Shou walked in alone.
"Your Majesty."
"Well." Li Zhiyun did not look back and continued to look at the map. He was thinking about how to block Zhu Can in Nanyang.
Taking one step at a time and looking at the next three steps, he already had a plan in mind to deal with Zhu Can.
Xue Shou said: "Your Majesty, there are some things that I would like to discuss with you alone."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun looked back at him and saw that his expression was serious, so he responded to Li Zhen, "Go down and guard the camp. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
"As commanded."
Li Zhen and Li Qiang bowed and stepped back.
After they left, Xue Shou said: "Your Majesty, Keming has told me everything."
Li Zhiyun nodded, not surprised, this was what he and Du Ruhui had discussed.
"No matter what your choice is, I will not blame you. After all, this matter is about your life and fortune."
Xue Shou pursed his lips and asked, "If my subordinates don't agree, will the king silence me?"
Li Zhiyun shook his head, "Whether you believe it or not, I will never do that."
"Why?"
Li Zhiyun did not answer him directly, but recalled: "When Keming knew the king's thoughts for the first time, he asked me why I believed in him so much. I told him that it was because I believed in him as much as I believed in myself. Now,
I also want to tell you that I believe in you just as I believe in myself. No matter what you choose, you are still my senior brother. This will not change now, nor will it change in the future."
Li Zhiyun knew very well that if Xue Shou really wanted to bet, he would never waste time in the Chu Palace. The East Palace was filled with people from Shandong aristocratic families. As long as Xue Shou was thoughtful, he would quickly enter the East Palace.
With his talent, it was only a matter of time before he would be put into important use by the prince.
But he didn't. He stayed in the Prince of Chu's Mansion. Even if he neglected him for a while, he didn't complain.
Based on this, Li Zhiyun was certain that Xue Shou was worthy of trust.
In fact, what is more important is that Li Zhiyun received a secret report from Duan Zhixuan, and Xue Shou acted very seriously in helping him deal with Li Yuan and recapture the Yunyang Army.
Of course, if Xue Shou doesn't agree, then it's not him who comes to see him now, but Du Ruhui.
"Xue Shou is willing to do your best for His Highness!" He knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and bowed his head.
"Please get up quickly!"
A smile appeared on Li Zhiyun's face and he helped him up.
"Brother, you did not disappoint me."
"Your Highness did not disappoint me." Xue Shou said seriously: "Your Highness has such ambitions, but his subordinates did not notice it in time. I am ashamed."
"It's not too late to know now." Li Zhiyun laughed, feeling very comfortable.
After all, the wisdom of two people is limited. One more person can have more wisdom and share more pressure.
When everyone gathers firewood, the flames are high.
The next day, the Tang army followed Chu King Li Zhiyun out of camp and met with Zhu Can.
In fact, when he received the news about the appearance of the Tang Army's supporting troops, Zhu Can felt a little flinched. There was no way around it. After all, there was an essential difference between him and the regular court.
Li Tangyuan kept sending troops over, but his troops were getting smaller and smaller, and the food he was eating was getting smaller and smaller.
Of course, Zhu Can has embarked on the road of anti-humanity, and food cannot stop him. It’s just that the people in Nanyang have been persecuted to near extinction by him. It is too difficult to find people now. Moreover, the people of Nanyang now regard him as
The devil's crazy resistance made Zhu Can extremely angry.
The armies of both sides were spread out, and in comparison, they made a judgment.
The armor of the Tang army was shining coldly, the sharp spears and blades were chilling, the marching flags were fluttering in the wind, and the war horses were neighing with great momentum.
You can tell at a glance that they are elite.
On the other hand, Zhu Canjun was in ragged clothes and had no spirit. The two were not opponents on the same level at all.
Just like that, King Changping could actually be defeated.
Li Zhiyun can only say that Wolong is worthy of his nickname.
At this time, the three cavalrymen ran out of the Chinese army's formation.
The leader is naturally Li Zhiyun, and on his left and right are Xie Shufang and Qin Qiong.
After they left the formation, Duan Zhixuan subconsciously held on to the reins, with one hand ready to raise to give orders for support.
The soldiers had already drawn their bows and set arrows, waiting for Duan Zhixuan's order.
Li Zhiyun stopped his horse in the center of the armies of both sides and took out a crude tin trumpet.
"Zhu Can, get out!"
The sound was not very loud, but in the solemn atmosphere of the battlefield, it seemed very harsh.
With a loud roar, Zhu Can's three horsemen rushed out.
"Little Li, don't be so arrogant, I'm here!" Zhu Can stopped his horse fifty steps away from Li Zhiyun.
