Chapter 854 Taking the initiative to report

Prince Shu's Mansion

Nearly half a month has passed since the war between the two chieftains. During this short period of time, Chieftain Adu's ambitions have been diminished. He even regrets it now. He thought he could take advantage of Chieftain Longchuan's place. There was chaos and it was easy to break into the stronghold, but now I realize how wrong I was.

In this half month, if he was closest to the gate of the village, it might be when he launched the attack on the first day. Now they can't even rush in three hundred meters. Longchuan Chieftain came from all over the country. A large number of troops were deployed, nearly 100,000 people guarding this stronghold. From every point of view, there were no loopholes.

Moreover, Chieftain Longchuan also understood what it means to besiege Wei and rescue Zhao, and ordered an army under his command to go directly from other mountains to attack Chieftain Adu's headquarters. Fortunately, Chieftain Adu's people who stayed in the headquarters did not fall out. If they had been transferred out that day, These copycats are in danger.

According to the current level of hatred between the two chieftains, if these cottages are killed, then I am afraid that none of the men, women, and children inside will survive. Longchuan Chieftain himself is the overlord of the mountains, and now someone is challenging his authority. , if all the people of Chief Tusi Adu are not killed, more people may have this idea in the future.

Li Xiang has received the third letter here. When he received the first letter, Li Xiang was still very happy, but he quickly calmed down. If the enemy asks for assistance and we send it out, it will really It's a bit too cityless.

What's more, at that time, only a few thousand troops were required to go up. Was this in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty? It's simply inconsistent. Even if we send troops, we should take the initiative. The worse the form of Chief Abdul Du is, the greater our chance of taking the initiative, so regardless of the latter two What was written in the letter? Li Xiang kept listening to music and making music in Chengdu. As for the war in the mountains, it seemed as if it had nothing to do with him.

At the beginning, Li Xiang's people also agreed with Li Xiang's approach. After all, we now have an absolute advantage and should make the people on the mountain anxious for a while. However, as time goes by, they are also a little bit restless. We can’t stand it anymore. It’s right for us to hold on to this energy, but we must not overstep it.

If the situation is overdone and Chieftain Abdul successfully overcomes this difficulty, the cooperation between the two parties will be overshadowed. Now the death toll on the battlefield has exceeded 10,000. This has also reached the end of Chieftain Abdul At the critical moment, we can put forward some conditions to him, and I think this guy will agree to it, but if we continue to treat him so coldly, it may lead to a big mistake.

If there had been another commander-in-chief, they would have knelt down long ago, hoping that Li Xiang could change his decision, but was Li Xiang an ordinary commander-in-chief? Ever since they proposed the strategy of pacifying Goguryeo in the court hall, they knew that Li Xiang was not an ordinary person. Do we need to remind such people?

So after careful consideration, many people chose to shut up, except for one person, who was the original deputy governor of Yizhou, Zhang Jiuli.

Others don't have much stake in this matter. Even if Tusi Adu fails, they can continue to live, and their lives are not necessarily worse. But Zhang Jiuli is different. This matter If it fails, the first person to suffer will be his family. Dozens of members of the family are still being detained, so he cannot just do things like others. Even if he offends Li Xiang, he must facilitate this matter. .

Of course, he also heard some of Li Xiang's past events. Young dignitaries are more successful and basically only believe in their own judgment. Others' judgments may be regarded as a thought, but they will never be listened to, but for the sake of the whole family Zhang Jiuli knew that he had violated a taboo, so he came to Li Xiang once a day.

A few days ago, Li Xiang didn't see this guy at all, but asked him to go back and make active preparations. But on the fourth day, Li Xiang made an exception and asked someone to bring him into the house. Zhang Jiuli was also a little puzzled. If Li Xiang wants to change his opinion, the past few days should be the best time. Why did he agree to see him now?

With this question, Zhang Jiuli saw Li Xiang who was having breakfast. At this moment, Li Xiang's face did not change at all. It was still the same as before. The pot has been broken on the mountain, but you, old man, are still so calm.

"Sit down and eat and chat. I also know what you mean by coming to me. This matter can't be explained in one or two sentences. Let's just chat while we eat."

Before Zhang Jiuli could speak, Li Xiang pointed to the seat next to him. This shocked Zhang Jiuli. You must know that he is now the guilty person, even if Li Xiang gave him certain rights. But you can't be arrogant in front of Li Xiang.

Li Xiang was the number three figure in the entire Tang Dynasty. If someone who had made great military exploits for the Tang Dynasty wanted to have dinner with Li Xiang, he would have to see if there was smoke coming from his ancestral grave. Who knew that he was such a guilty person? People actually have the opportunity to have dinner with Li Xiang. Can ordinary people believe it?

"Do you think the food here is not to your taste? If it is not to your taste, tell the little eunuch at the door after you go out, and it will be prepared for you soon. No matter what I do, I will never lose myself. As for my stomach, I can eat the food of the soldiers, but if the conditions are right, I still hope to make my stomach eat better."

Seeing that Zhang Jiuli didn't move or stood stupidly at the same place, Li Xiang thought that the food in front of him was not to his taste.

In fact, as long as he eats at the same table with Li Xiang, let alone eat the precious delicacies in front of him, even if he eats multi-grain noodles, I am afraid Zhang Jiuli can eat several of them in one meal. After hearing what Li Xiang said, this guy I sat down quickly, just like the last time I was picky about eating. Is this what a mature person should do? What's more, as Li Xiang said, there are many things in this breakfast on the table that Zhang Jiuli has never seen before. Can this be a simple breakfast?

The cooks under Li Xiang were not ordinary cooks, so when Zhang Jiuli took his first bite of rice, he felt that all the food he had eaten before was in vain. This is what people call it full of color, flavor and taste...
