Chapter 1175 He can still block hundreds of thousands of troops
Li Tai also found it interesting that Yeon Gaesumun was so eager to negotiate peace with him.
It was obviously him who proposed the peace proposal in the first place.
But now Yeon Gaesoo's envoy has arrived in Chang'an.
"Your Highness, if Yeon Gaesoo is like this, something must have happened on the front line that blocked his army's offensive."
"Otherwise he would not have to make peace with us at all."
"But since it is a peace negotiation, Yuengai Suwen must have his own considerations. For example, he hopes that both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty, and Zhao Chen, will suffer losses." Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment, and talked about his thoughts with Li Tai.
What Changsun Wuji said correctly guessed most of Yuan Gaisuwen's situation.
Li Tai actually understood in his heart, he just couldn't figure out how a mere Li Jing could really block the overwhelming Yuan Gaisu Wen army outside Cangzhou City.
Even if it costs people's lives, Cangzhou Cheng can still break through.
Li Tai was a little irritable.
He didn't want to be someone else's tool, but now he had no other choice.
"I just can't figure it out. Cangzhou City is just a small town. So what if Li Jing is gone?"
"Why did he block Yeon Gaesumun's attack?" Li Tai frowned, and now he couldn't figure out the reason.
"Is there a possibility that it's Zhao Chen..."
"Impossible, who is Zhao Chen? He can still stop Yeon Gaesumun's hundreds of thousands of troops?"
"If he is really so capable, why didn't he just wipe out Yeon Gaesumun's army in the first place?" Changsun Wuji was interrupted by Li Tai's anger before he could finish his words.
Li Tai didn't want to hear anything about Zhao Chen at all.
Not to mention that Yuengai Suwen was blocked outside Cangzhou City by Zhao Chen.
Why, Zhao Chen is almost back to Chang'an, how can he still stop Yeon Gaesumun's army from thousands of miles away?
Changsun Wuji smiled, knowing that what he said now would actually have no effect.
Li Tai!
He was afraid to the core of Zhao Chen, even worse than Li Chengqian back then.
Li Tai was silent for a long time before taking a deep breath.
"Yesterday, I heard someone in the palace say that my mother is ill, so I plan to go visit her later."
"What do you think, uncle?" Li Tai suddenly asked about going to visit Empress Changsun.
"Sister is sick?"
"Why didn't I hear about what happened?" Changsun Wuji's expression changed slightly.
"If Your Highness goes to visit, please take me with you." Changsun Wuji asked Li Tai again.
Li Tai looked at Changsun Wuji and said with a smile: "Aren't you worried that someone is deliberately spreading false news to me, just to lure me out of the palace?"
Changsun Wuji opened his mouth, shook his head, raised his hands and said, "That shouldn't be the case. I don't know where Zhao Chen is now. Who dares to attack His Royal Highness at this time?"
Li Tai looked at Changsun Wuji with his eyes, and it took a long time for a smile to appear on his expressionless face.
"I feel the same way. If Zhao Chen hadn't entered the city, those people would be a bunch of trash and they wouldn't be able to make a difference."
"Uncle, tell me, is Zhao Chen already in the city?" Li Tai said in a deep voice.
What Li Tai was most worried about was that Zhao Chen really entered the city.
But he has strictly ordered everyone who enters the city to undergo comprehensive inspections.
Until now, there is no news, so Zhao Chen must not be able to enter the city.
"The city gate inspection is so strict, I also asked the soldiers guarding the city to pay attention to the fact that people entering the city may be wearing masks."
"Your Highness, please rest assured, everything will be fine."
"Of course, if His Highness is still worried, I will go visit my sister on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"I will definitely bring the greetings from His Highness the Crown Prince," Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
But Li Tai frowned in excitement.
"Why, uncle thinks that I am so afraid of death?" Li Tai asked angrily.
"No, that's not what I meant..."
"Send the order to Pingkangfang Zhao Mansion. I want to see if someone really wants to take action against me!"
"Uncle, you come with me." Li Tai interrupted Changsun Wuji and said in a deep voice.
…
"Father, there is news that Li Tai has left the palace!" Wei Shuyu ran back to Wei Zheng from Wei Zheng's house and said to him.
Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment before he received the news that the envoys of Yeon Gaesumun would discuss peace matters with Li Tai in three days.
He was about to ask Wei Shuyu to hand Li Tai his pledge of surrender, in order to trick him into leaving the East Palace.
In no mood……
"Where has he gone?" Wei Zheng and Wei Shuyu asked, with anxious expressions on their faces.
"Pingkangfang should be the Zhao Mansion." Wei Shuyu explained.
"Father, do you think it's sir..."
"It must be him. That kid wouldn't reject my idea in person, but he was concerned about my reputation, so he thought of other ways."
"When Li Tai leaves the palace, they must be ready to take action."
"Shu Yu, there are some skilled servants at home. You can bring them over. If there is a chance, they can support Mr. Zhao."
"Ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand, we must protect his safety!" Wei Zheng and Wei Shuyu urged.
"Okay!" Wei Shuyu nodded.
…
Changsun Mansion, Changsun Chong has not been to the academy for some days.
The academy was closed, and the only place he thought about was gone.
I just stay at home and drink wine every day.
It was the same today. As soon as I got up in the morning, I brought a bottle of wine, lay on the recliner, and drank the wine one sip after another.
It didn't take long for my eyelids to feel heavy, and my face looked full of drunkenness.
"Sir, the master of the family sent news that he is going to Pingkangfang with the prince, and there are one hundred and fifty Qianniu Guards accompanying him."
"Perhaps someone wants to intercept the prince on the road, and there are also twenty crossbowmen secretly supporting him." The steward of Changsun Mansion ran in and told Changsun Chong about the news from Changsun Wuji.
Ever since Changsun Wuji took up a position next to Li Tai, Changsun Chong has never spoken a word to his father.
Changsun Wuji didn't talk to him on weekdays.
The father and son have been in a cold war for a long time, and today is the first time that someone has sent a message to him.
Although it was just two simple sentences, Changsun Chong felt chills all over his body.
Li Tai brought not only one hundred and fifty Qianniu Guards, but also twenty hidden crossbowmen.
If someone really wants to intercept and kill Li Tai, it must be those people known to his eldest son, Sun Chong.
If they were allowed to act so recklessly, they would probably suffer huge losses.
"When will they arrive at Pingkangfang?" Changsun Chong suddenly woke up from the drunkenness in his mind and asked the housekeeper anxiously.
"Around a quarter past noon," the butler replied.
"Mr...." He wanted to say one more thing, but there was no trace of Changsun Chong.
…
"Father, how do you feel?" Fang Fu, Fang Yiai and Fang Xuanling asked.
Fang Xuanling was lying on the bed, her face had returned to rosy and was no longer as pale as before.
I think there shouldn't be much of a physical problem.
"It's okay, why are you here?" Fang Xuanling shook his head, but was a little surprised by Fang Yiai's sudden appearance.
"Just now, Changsun rushed over and said that he had received news that someone was planning to attack Li Tai today."
"Li Tai brought a 150-meter thousand ox guard, and also hid twenty crossbowmen secretly."
"He was worried that those from the academy were going to attack Li Tai and that something would happen to them, so he wanted to borrow help from his family."
"My child couldn't make up his mind for a while, so I wanted to ask my father..." Fang Yiai looked at his father and said slowly.?
