Chapter 452: Hearts are separated
Xue Chong was stuffed with a glass of wine, put down his glass, burped, looked at Xue Jian and said, "Uncle Fourth, what are you going to do?"
Xue Jian laughed, picked up the wine pot and poured it into Xue. When he poured it for himself, there was only half a cup left. He threw the wine pot aside and spread his hands and said, "What else can I do? What else do you think I can do? With my strength now, I can only follow Tian Ping. He said he would kill Wuwei, so I would follow him. He said he wanted to join Wuwei, and I could only run with him. What else can I do?"
Xue Chong was silent. Xue Jian and Pei Zhiqing combined, and there were only more than 5,000 troops. In Luzhou City, they were the weakest.
"Uncle Fourth, don't worry too much. Isn't this still there?" Xue Chong comforted.
Xue Jian drank half a glass of wine and sneered: "You? I know you have nearly 20,000 people now, but depending on your current appearance, how long can you last? I am afraid that if this continues, you will not last as long as I do. You have more subordinates, but there are more people, and your burden is also great. How long can the food in the city last? When will the external reinforcements come? Is it a month or two? What if they can't come at all?"
Xue Chong covered his face with both hands, kneaded for a while, and sighed: "Uncle Fourth, have you thought I really hadn't considered the future? I even thought about surrendering to Wuwei, but where is Xue Ping? And where is he still holding an important position? You have passed, or are safe. If someone like me has passed, I am afraid he will be dead!"
Xue Jian was stunned: "So you thought so too?"
"Of course I thought about it." Xue Chong nodded and said, "But it was because I thought about it that I lost my mind. Xue Ping was afraid that I hated me so much that I hated him. If it weren't for me, Zhao Yi wouldn't have reached this point today, right?"
"What does Zhaoyi have to do with you to this point today? It's all done by this bastard Xue Jin." Xue Jian said angrily.
"Where is there any difference in Xue Ping?" Xue Chong shook his head.
Xue Jian thought for a while and lowered his voice, "You should know what happened in Huguan some time ago, right?"
"Of course I know." Xue Chong said angrily: "How could I not know about such a big thing? If it weren't for those things, I'm afraid that the Wuwei army would have entered Luzhou long ago. It was because of delaying this Yue that we had some confidence to be in a breath. If it weren't for those things, could Xuanwu's reinforcements come out so quickly?"
Xue Jian smiled and said, "You haven't sucked some other smells from this matter?"
"What does it taste?" Xue Chong said inexplicably.
Xue Jian stretched out a finger and pointed at Xue Chong: "Why are you only seeing the superficial phenomena? There are so many things hidden here that make people think a lot."
"I would like to ask for advice from my fourth uncle."
"First of all, we can see that Li Ze and the royal family are not the same. From this matter, we can also see Li Ze's domineering and arrogant. He did not take the royal family seriously at all! When his mother died, he forced the queen to death to pay his mother's life."
"He has this strength." Xue Chong said indefinitely.
Xue Jian looked at Xue Chong and said, "You said such a thing. Do the emperor and his group hate Li Ze?"
"That's more important? But if you don't have enough strength, why can you help Li Ze? They are all counting on Li Ze now!" Xue Chong said disdainfully.
"That's the reason!" Xue Jian said: "Whose person is Xue Ping? Is it Li Ze's or the emperor's?"
Xue Chong was stunned, suddenly understood, and sat up straight.
"Xue Ping is the emperor's man." Xue Jian said: "The emperor's strength is very pitiful now, and it can be said that he is living a trembling life under Li Ze's hands."
"Uncle Fourth, are you saying that if we surrender, Xue Ping would not be embarrassed if he didn't take responsibility, and would try his best to win us over?" Xue Chong said with a serious expression.
"We are all surnamed Xue!" Xue Jian said: "We two, plus Pei Zhiqing, have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, but they are all veterans of a hundred battles. Do you think Xue Ping will treat us as a treasure? As for Xue Jin's death, what is it? Does Xue Ping have a deep relationship with Xue Jin? Xue Ping is not a person with thin eyes, and he has to plot! No matter what, we are all a family. If we really want to pass, he must try his best to connect with us to protect the emperor and the prince."
"But I can't see any way out when confronting Li Ze!" Xue Chong said.
"It seems naturally like this now." Xue Jian said: "But no one can say exactly what the future will be. Maybe the situation will change in the future? Think about it, how in awe of Tian Chengsi's army entering Zhaoyi at that time, but just such an accident, Wei Bo became what he is now, and everything was made for Xuan Wu. Oh, by the way, maybe the one who picked the biggest fruit in the end was Wuwei Li Ze. So this world is unpredictable, and no one can say it."
"That's true." Xue Chong said.
"The key is that we have to have our own strength." Xue Jian continued: "Even if we take a step back, the royal family will not be able to help us, and it will not have much to do with us. Li Ze really wants to worship the royal family as a clay bodhisattva. Don't you also need to undermine them and poach all the power loyal to the imperial world? Then we can throw it over!"
Xue Chong took a deep breath: "Uncle Fourth said something makes sense, I have to think about it carefully."
"Yes, we all have to think about it." Xue Jian said: "Where is Tian Ping? There is no final conclusion yet. If he also made up his mind, then Luzhou City will be in fact done."
"Uncle Fourth, do you think Tian Yue has this idea too?" Xue Chong asked.
Xue Jian shook his head: "Tian Yue doesn't. He still dreams of using Xuanwu's power to repel Wuwei, and then cut off Luzhou to become a buffer zone between Wuwei and Xuanwu, swaying left and right, and maintaining independence. Zhu Youzhen also grabbed his thoughts and kept cheering him up. In addition, Cao Huan's troops have arrived in Weizhou, so his mind is even more eager."
"This idea itself is not wrong. Why doesn't Tian Ping support it as a member of the Tian family?" Xue Chong was a little puzzled.
Xue Jian laughed: "If Tian Yue really achieved this goal, what are the benefits for Tian Ping? I am afraid that Tian Ping's life will be difficult to protect when it comes to this time. Why did Xue Jin kill me and Xue Xiong at that time? It is simply because his backer Wuwei is becoming increasingly powerful. He wants to take this opportunity to destroy us. Will the family dominate? If Tian Yue cuts off Luzhou, will Tian Ping be left behind? Speaking of which, Tian Ping is the legitimate successor of Wei Bo. Among Wei Bo, there are many people who support him. Not to mention Tian Xu and Tian Huai, even Tian Yue's subordinates are afraid that there are many people who are looking at Tian Ping in their hearts."
Xue Jian nodded. The lesson of justice is ahead! With the example of Xue Jun, Tian Ping will naturally think more. Instead of helping Tian Yue succeed, he might as well commit to Wuwei, or lose his independence from now on, but at least he has no worries about his wealth and life.
"I understand what the Fourth Uncle means. I will go back and think about it, and I will also discuss it with my subordinates. Give me an answer as soon as possible." Xue Chong said.
"Okay, no matter where we go, our surname is Xue always has to be aligned. In this world, it is really not easy to live!" Xue Jian shook his head and said, "Come on, although it's just corn rice, it's good to pour broth on it."
The two of them took a few bowls of rice, left Deyi Tower, and then parted ways.
Xue Jian returned to Dongcheng all the way, but did not return to his residence, but went straight to Tian Ping. It seemed that he had known that Xue Jian would come, and someone had been waiting in front of the door, and he kept taking Xue Jian to the study behind Tian Ping's residence. Inside, there was another person besides Tian Ping.
The generals of Wuwei slaughtered the tiger.
"General Tian, General Tu!" Xue Jian bowed to the two of them and walked over to do it.
"What does Xue Chong mean?" Tian Ping asked anxiously.
"He was already moved, but he didn't say anything, he just wanted to discuss with his subordinates." Xue Jian said.
"That's about it." Tian Ping smiled and said, "Today's military discussion, Tian Yue and Zhu Youzhen joined forces to oppress him. He was already very angry, but because of his lack of strength, he did not dare to attack on the spot. General Tu, if Xue Chong also joins in, then we will be sure to get it."
Tu Hu smiled slightly: "If Xue Chong joined, he would naturally be more confident. However, before he could really start, no one dared to say that he was 100% sure. General Tian, how much influence do you have on Tian Yue's subordinates?"
"If you really want to start, I can guarantee that at least half of Tian Yue's subordinates will maintain a neutral attitude even if they don't help me!" Tian Ping said confidently. "General Tu, when will we do it?"
"The affairs of Cao Huan in Weizhou will be resolved together with those of Luzhou." Tu Hu smiled and said, "General Tian is at ease, don't be upset, just wait for the news."
"Don't you take down Luzhou first and then deal with Cao Huan?" Tian Ping looked at Tuhu in surprise.
"If Luzhou is solved in advance, Cao Huan will run away!" Tu Hu smiled and said, "Our general has made great plans and has made arrangements for a long time. Everything is in the process of planning. General Tian just wait and see."
Tian Ping and Xue Jian looked at each other, both of which were a little scared.
Xue Chong, who returned to the north city, stood on the city tower and looked at the walls that were much higher and the bright lights on them not far away.
Xue Jian's words today gave him a great impact. It turned out that the Tian family had already fallen apart, and even Tian Ping was ready to surrender. This battle is a big fuck!
"Sun Xi, you go out of the city and meet Yang Zhihe." Xue Chong whispered.
"yes."
"Don't say much about Yang Zhihe, just ask Yang Zhihe to send you to Li Ze." Xue Chong said.
"Understood."
Xue Chong decided to surrender, but he was not prepared to follow Xue Jian. His current strength was enough to give him the bargaining chips to negotiate with Li Ze alone.
