Looking at Liu Jian pondering and silent, a thought suddenly popped up in Li Xu's mind.

"Uncle Liu, do you think if it was really the Wei soldiers who participated in the ambush and defeated Lin Yi's vanguard army, would Lin Yi report this matter to the court?"

Liu Jian stopped after hearing this, looked at Li Xu, pondered for a while and slowly shook his head, "According to Lin Yi's personality, he is very likely to hide it and not report it. After all, this is his first time to go to the battle. If he loses the battle just after going to the battle, it will be a heavy blow to him for the entire Lin family. Once reported to the court, I am afraid that the posts impeachment of Lin Yi, or even his father, Lin Ruhai, would be filled with His Majesty's imperial case."

Li Xu asked again: "What kind of sin is it if you don't report it if you know it?"

"It is also a serious crime to not report the information and delay military opportunities."

"If we expose the news that Lin Yi was defeated and concealed and did not report it to the court, will the court replace Lin Yi and take him back to the capital to be punished?"

"It would be so. However, Duke Ning would not agree, and Song Xiang would not agree either."

Li Xu was a little puzzled. Are the Lin family and the Song family political enemies?

Lin Yi is unlucky. Isn’t Song a happy family?

Liu Jian saw Li Xu's doubts and explained: "Lin Yi's ability to take charge was the result of negotiations between all parties in the court. In addition, Lin Yi's own status and the prestige of Ning Guogong, the court could not easily punish him. Moreover, changing generals at the last stage is a taboo. Moreover, most of the generals in the army are disciples and subordinates of Ning Guogong Lin Ruhai. Even if Lin Yi is replaced, another general may be Lin Ruhai's people. Furthermore, if there are indeed Wei people involved, the court will not agree to the change of generals if the situation is so urgent."

Li Xu understood, and cursed politics in his heart, it was indeed a game of mutual compromise.

Liu Jian thought so, and as the chief minister, Song Mu, who is actually the helmsman of Qin, would naturally think so.

No matter how fierce the internal struggle is, they must put the overall interests of Qin first.

Although Li Xu was a little disappointed, he was a little impressed by Liu Jian and Song Mu.

No matter how internal struggles are, there is still a bottom line after all.

After all, people with bottom lines are more trustworthy than those without bottom lines.

He actually just said something casually and tried Liu Jian.

If you really want to deal with Lin Yi, there is no need for the court to argue back and forth. Just set up a pocket for him, and set up a cannon and fire a firearm. If you don’t die, you will be disabled.

It’s just that time was not yet time for the death to fight, Li Xu didn’t want to.

However, seeing Liu Jian was so worried about the Wei people, Li Xu suddenly felt that he wanted Tan Lun to take the banner of the Wei army to attract the attention of the court?

Think about it, if the Wei army flag appeared in the hinterland of Qin, then the Qin army on the border would definitely not be able to sit still and would definitely find an opportunity to fight the Wei army as soon as possible.

After defeating the Wei army, they quickly returned to help and pacified the interior.

By then, even if the Qin army wins, it will be a terrible victory. Even if the Gaobei Rebellion is finally put down, it will be greatly damaged.

That was the time for me to officially start to control Qin.

The more Li Xu thought about it, the more he felt that he should do this. He made up his mind to write a letter to Tan Lun after he went back.

Seeing Li Xu silent, Liu Jian thought he was a little confused about his words, so he patiently advised: "Brother Xu, although you cannot replace Lin Yi with this matter, since Lin Yi has something to ask for you, it is also your chance to make meritorious contributions. Lin Yi was defeated in the first battle, lacking troops in his hands and his morale declined, which is the time to borrow you. If we operate well, it is not impossible to get you to be awarded a title after this battle."

Seeing Li Xu looking over, with a smile on his face, Liu Jian was surprised that Li Xu was moved, and then advised: "If you can work with Lin Yi to quell the thief army in this battle, it is very likely that he will be granted a marquis in the capital by Song Xiang. Moreover, I think your relationship with Xiao Yuer will also progress rapidly. If you have a title at that time, the Empress Dowager will definitely nod and agree to your affairs."

Li Xu disagreed. Even if he didn't have a title, it would be easy to marry Xiaoyuer.

Not to mention Xiaoyuer, as long as I sit in that position, I will only have any girl I want to marry or not. It will not be the turn of others to interfere.

However, he still pretended to show a look of hope and yearning: "Uncle Liu, since you have said that, I, Li Xu, are not such a petty person. As a Qin person, we naturally have to put the interests of Qin first. Lin Yi wants to borrow troops, but I have the conditions."

Liu Xu's expression relaxed and asked hurriedly: "What conditions? As long as it is not too much, I will persuade Lin Yi to agree to it."

Li Xu said: "First, all the soldiers of the village Yongchang camp want me to command themselves. If Lin Yi has any actions that need to be coordinated, he must first tell me and I agree."

"Second, the soldiers in the village Yongying Camp have been trained for too short and there are not enough weapons and armor. Please ask General Lin to support weapons and armor that can be equipped with 10,000 people and 300,000 feather arrows.

"Third, the soldiers of the Township Yong Camp are not as good as those of the elite troops of the Imperial Guard, and can only fight with the Gaohuzi Thief Army. If they encounter the Wei army, they can only be dealt with by the Imperial Guard. But I can guarantee that the Gaohuzi Thief Army will never let the Gaohuzi Thief Army go south to Guanzhong again."

"Fourth, according to the reward rules of the Township Yongchang, each person must first pay ten taels of silver before each start. Now there are 10,000 in the town Yongchang, so 100,000 taels of silver are needed as the opening fee. I hope General Lin can help solve this money."

After Li Xu finished speaking in one breath, he saw Liu Jian staring at him with wide eyes, his expression very speechless and helpless.

"What are your conditions? You just took the opportunity to quarrel."

Li Xu smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, I'm going to tell you, I'm just quarrel. If General Lin agrees, it's better. If he doesn't agree, it's fine. If you don't agree, it's fine. Anyway, you've told him."

Liu Jian said helplessly: "It's really nothing he doesn't agree to you?"

Li Xu nodded solemnly and said, "Of course, I have always been a person who puts the overall situation first. Even if I don't have any money to open up and have excellent military and armor equipment, I will take the brothers of the Township Yong Camp to fight to kill the enemy without hesitation. However, the brothers of the Township Yong Camp have been in the army for too short, the military and armor equipment are insufficient, and the morale is not high enough. If they are accidentally disrupted by the Gaohuzi thief army and accidentally let the Gaohuzi thief army merge with the Wei army, then I have no choice."

Liu Jian was speechless when he heard this. It was nothing you said, but he would just say nakedly that if he didn't agree, let Lin Yi's men fall into the siege of the bandits and the Wei army.

After a while, Liu Jian nodded weakly and said, "Okay, I will try my best to persuade Lin Yi to agree to these conditions. But I still hope that you can really put the overall situation first. After all, Song Xiang and Lord Song are optimistic about you."

Li Xu heard it, and the current intention was to let himself cooperate with Lin Yi after the quarrel was successful in the future, so as not to let Song take a walk with him.

"Uncle Liu, I am a simple person, you know that. As long as people don't let me down, I won't let others down."

Li Xu said innocently.

Liu Jian covered his forehead and lowered his head without saying a word, waved his hand and told him to get out, and he arranged for the reception for Lin Yi's visit to the evening.
