In fact, Luo Yi knew very well that the purpose of the second son came to find him. Not only him, but several confidant generals who were seized by Li Yuanji also came to him. Everyone was extremely angry and demanded to surrender to the Sui Dynasty. Luo Yi also wanted to do so, but.
....
Luo Yi sighed: "I can understand your mood, but have you ever considered what your elder brother will do if we surrender to the Sui Dynasty?"
This is Luo Yi's biggest heart disease. His eldest son was hostage in the East Palace. Once he surrendered to the Sui army, how could Li Jiancheng spare his eldest son?
"But... didn't my elder brother come to Hanzhong to deliver a letter last time? Or my father said he was seriously ill and asked my elder brother to visit his father. Since Li Jiancheng claimed that he was filial piety first, he should let his elder brother come to Hanzhong to visit his illness."
Luo Yi shook his head, "One moment, another moment, the situation is now critical, the Sui army has reached Hanzhong, how could Li Jiancheng put your elder brother back in this situation? And whether I am sick, will Li Yuanji not know?
Li Jiancheng is not stupid. He can't hide such a thing from him. At this time, your elder brother should have been monitored."[
Luo Xin wanted to say something else. At this time, a report from a personal soldier came from outside the door: "Report to the general manager, Wang Jian, the military officer of the Warlord, asked for a visit outside the mansion, and said that there was an important report."
Luo Yi waved his hand and said to Luo Xin: "You go and ask him what he has. If there is something important, you can bring him to see me. If there is nothing important, just talk to him and comfort him.
”
In the past two days, Luo Yi has been disturbed by the troubles and he doesn't want to see him again. Luo Xin nodded, turned around and left the study room, and walked out of the mansion.
......
There were two people standing outside the mansion. One was Cangcao Military Manager Wang Jian, who was over 40 years old, with a medium figure and quite smart and capable. The other was the Sui army scout Wang Ji, who had been promoted to the lieutenant. Sima Yao Jindong did not
In addition, he sent an envoy to directly order him as an envoy to send Luo Yi a handwritten letter from Xu Shiji.
Wang Ji was a little nervous. Although he was very smart, he was a businessman before joining the army. He was good at talking about business and dealing with people. But he had never done such an envoy after all, especially with senior executives like Luo Yi.
, he felt even more uneasy.
"Don't be nervous. With me here, he won't do anything to you. He has to give me this face." Wang Jian next to him saw his cousin's nervousness and whispered to comfort him.
Wang Ji nodded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and whispered: "What if he refuses to surrender?"
Wang Jian knew Luo Yi's situation very well and smiled, "Don't worry! He couldn't help but do many things. Let's not be anxious. Take your time. If it really doesn't work, just follow the special method I thought of."
The two were talking. At this time, Luo Xin walked out of the mansion. He joined the military officer in the Renji Room and was very familiar with Wang Jian. As soon as he went out, he bowed and smiled, "I heard that Wang Zhanjun has been very busy these two days, why are he free?
come over?"
Wang Jian replied, "If you have any major issues, you have to report to the general manager. No matter how busy you are, you have to come."
Luo Xin was about to ask something, but in a blink of an eye he saw Wang Ji and was stunned. "What is this?"
Wang Jian stepped forward and whispered a few words. Luo Xin was surprised. This was actually the envoy of the Sui army. He hurriedly said, "Please come in!"
Luo Xin asked the two to enter the mansion and placed them to rest and wait in the guest room, but he hurried to find his father.
"Father, the child has a big deal."
"Let's talk about it when you come in."
Luo Xin walked into the room and bowed and said, "Father, Wang Jian brought the Sui army envoy to come and asked to see his father."
Luo Yi frowned slightly. Wang Jian was just a member of the army of Cangcao and a native of Nanzheng. How could he know the Sui army? Luo Yi was a little worried that this was a trap set by Li Yuanji to harm him.
Luo Xin understood his father's concern and said, "It was Wang Jian's cousin who was a captain in the Sui army. This man brought a letter to Xu Shiji's handwritten letter."[
At this time, Luo Yi had figured it out. In fact, with Li Yuanji's character, if he wanted to harm him, he would kill him directly and then just a charge. It would not be so troublesome. This must be the messenger of the Sui army. He ordered
Nodded, "Take them to my study."
Luo Xin quickly walked out. Soon after, he brought Wang Jian and Wang Ji to his father's study. Wang Jian stepped forward and gave a deep bow, "See the general manager!"
"There is no need to be too polite to join the army."
Luo Yi's eyes stared at Wang Ji behind him. He was so short and fat. Is this the messenger of the Sui Dynasty? He realized after a change of thought that it must be his relationship with Wang Jian that was used.
Be a messenger.
Wang Ji also walked forward and gave a deep bow, "See General Luo."
"You don't have to be polite. I heard you have brought a letter to me, and you can bring it now?"
Luo Yi was not interested in this messenger, but was only interested in Xu Shiji's handwritten letter. Wang Ji quickly took out the letter from his arms and presented it with both hands. Luo Yi took it out and read it. As he thought, it was the world.
The general situation is settled, asking him to understand the situation and follow the trend can ensure his future.
After all, it was not Yang Yuanqing's handwritten letter, and there was nothing to look forward to. However, it can be seen from it that the Sui army's intention was not intended to attack the city, but that they wanted to defeat the enemy without fighting. If it was Yang Yuanqing's handwritten letter, Luo
Yi may have some considerations, but it was Xu Shiji's letter, so Luo Yi's interest was not very big. He had to first consider the safety of his eldest son.
However, Luo Yi did not refuse, and said lightly: "Please ask Captain Wang to go back and tell General Xu, saying that it is of great importance and I need to think about it for a few days. Once the consideration is mature, I will immediately reply to him."
Luo Xin next to him sighed secretly in his heart. He knew his father. His father's answer was actually a delay, neither agreeing nor rejecting, and he would not express his opinion until the last moment, which made Luo Xin more disappointed.
He lost the initiative to control his destiny, and his future career will be a little difficult.
"Xin'er, sending the guests to your father."
Luo Xin was desperate and had to send Wang Jian and Wang Ji out of the mansion. He stood on the steps and bowed: "Please give my father some time to let him consider it."
"This is natural, so let's say goodbye first."
The two brothers boarded the carriage and said goodbye. Luo Xin looked at them and then sighed deeply and entered the mansion with concern.
......
In the carriage, Wang Ji asked his cousin worriedly, "What do you think Luo Yi's statement mean?"
Wang Jian sneered, "His statement is very ambiguous. He neither agrees nor refuses. He said he wants to consider it, but he is unwilling to give a specific deadline. Should he consider it for three days or one month? He refuses to say it, which means he
There is no sincerity.”
"What should we do?" Wang Ji asked nervously. He was just a small businessman and had no opinion on such military and national affairs.
After all, Wang Jian has been in the Hanzhong officialdom for more than ten years, and he knows what to do. More importantly, it is related to his vital interests and whether he can become the Sima of Hanchuan County. Of course, he will work hard to do this.
"You might as well, just follow the methods we discussed in advance and force him to express his opinion."
.........
King Li Yuanji of Qi returned to Hanzhong three days ago. He was forced to hand over the military power of Bashu to Duan Zhixuan and led more than a hundred confidants to leave Chengdu. However, after his father's secret decree gave him, he ordered him to seize the military power of Hanzhong. Li Yuanji
I understand that the father was worried about Luo Yi, but the father did not want to trigger the battle between the prince and the Qin King for military power in Hanzhong, so he secretly ordered him to seize power.[
Li Yuanji showed off the Shangfang Emperor Sword and used powerful means to force Luo Yi to hand over power. Unless Luo Yi directly rebels, he will not hand over power. Li Yuanji can kill him directly. Li Yuanji is sure of Luo Yi, and his son is
Do he dare to rebel when the Eastern Palace is an official?
However, what made Li Yuanji a little regretful was that he had few confidants. In addition to eliminating more than a dozen confidant generals under Luo Yi, he could only use Luo Yi's old men.
The past two days, Li Yuanji, the King of Qi, was also quite nervous. He had just seized Luo Yi's military power and received news that Xu Shiji led 40,000 Sui troops to come to Hanzhong. This news made Li Yuanji regret it. If he had known, he would have been directly
Returning to Chang'an, it's useless to seize this military power, and clean up the mess for Luo Yi for nothing.
But he could do anything at this time. At this time, he left Hanzhong and fled back to Chang'an. His father had to kill him. He had to order the army to defend the city and at the same time he asked for help from Chang'an.
Li Yuanji's residence is the back house of the Hanchuan County Prefectural Palace. At this time, the night was already dark. Li Yuanji sat alone in the room drinking a suffocating wine. If he had a temper, he would definitely send his personal soldiers to snatch him.
A woman, without a woman, she can sleep at night.
But he was not in this mood tonight. He had just received information that the Sui army had entered Hanchuan County, less than fifty miles from Nanzheng. In other words, tomorrow morning, the Sui army will appear outside Nanzheng City.
Li Yuanji picked up the wine glass and drank it all. At this moment, a guard reported at the door: "Your Highness, King Cangcao joined the army and asked for a meeting urgently, saying that there was a big deal."
Li Yuanji had been drinking for a while and ordered, "Take him to see me!"
Not long after, a sound of footsteps came from outside, and the guards reported: "Your Highness, the King of the Army is here."
"Come in!"
The door opened, and the military officer of the Cangcao Army Wang Jian walked in, knelt down and saluted, "Greetings to His Highness the King of Qi!"
Li Yuanji glanced at him. He had only seen this Cangcao military officer once. It is said that he was a local. He liked locals, but he was not Luo Yi's confidant. Li Yuanji's tone became softer, "Wang Chanjun, what do you have?"
Should I report a big event?"
"Report to Your Highness, General Manager Luo just asked Weichen to go to his mansion."
Li Yuanji was excited and suddenly became interested, "What did he ask you to do in the mansion?"
"He asked Weichen to write a list for him, how many military rations there are, how much grass, how many arrows, armor, etc., all combat supplies, he asked me to provide a detailed list,
I don’t know why he wants these lists, and I don’t know what to do? I’ll report to Your Highness and ask for instructions.”
Li Yuanji was stunned, and his eyes gradually narrowed. These are extremely important military intelligence. Why did Luo Yi want it? Who did he want this information to?
