Everyone knows that Chen Sangliang has never had the habit of killing envoys in order to facilitate fraud. This time, Li Mi sent Xu Shiyu, a subordinate who was conferred as the right chief of Shangshu by the Sui Ting in the Eastern Capital, as envoy. Like Li Jiancheng, he also paid a visit under the banner of congratulating Chen Sangliang on his acceptance of the title. He also gave Chen Sangliang a generous gift, which made the stingy Chen Sangliang secretly happy.

Reciting the courtesy, in view of Li Mi's good treatment of his envoy, Chen Sangliang personally met Xu Shiyu, who was exhausted and congratulated Chen Sangliang on his honor for being named Queen Tang with humble words. Xu Shiyu indeed took out a stack of letters, but he did not rush to hand them over to Chen Sangliang. He was still full of desire to speak, as if he was a little inconvenient to speak. Chen Sangliang was a little strange and took the initiative to say, "Mr. Shiyu, just say anything directly. Although I and the Master of Dharma are enemies, they never make things difficult for each other. The gentleman can speak bluntly without any scruples, and it doesn't matter if he says something wrong."

"Thank you, Your Highness," Xu Shiyu apologized first, then hesitated for a while before he said, "Your Highness, both our army attach importance to morality and never makes things difficult for the other party's envoy. Even when fighting on the battlefield, they all serve as guests to entertain the other party's envoy. However, no matter what, our army is still the enemy. Therefore, the young envoy came to see you as an enemy envoy today. Although you were invited and summoned by you, you still want to say some offense. Regarding this, please forgive me for your sins."

"That's of course." Chen Sangliang said with a smile: "My messenger Zhang Yongtong used to contradict Mr. The Master, and Mr. The Master never cared about it. Mr. The Master could be so generous. Will my king's aura be narrower than him?"

"Thank you, King Tang." Xu Shiyu quickly thanked Chen Sangliang again, and then said in a frank tone: "That little envoy was offended. I will not hide it from Your Highness. During the war in Heyang before, Ren Guan of the Li clan of Taiyuan took the initiative to flee into our army for protection and tried to seek alliances with our army. In order to defeat the nobles of Gui's army, our Duke Wei sent someone to escort Ren Guan to Taiyuan north, and took the initiative to ask Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng to join forces to attack the nobles of Tang."

"Haha, Mr. Shi Yu's words were indeed direct." Chen Sangliang laughed and asked with a relaxed expression: "So, Shi Yu is the Allied Army of Li Mi and Li Jiancheng today who is here to declare war on me?"

p> "The Prime Minister misunderstood, roads are blocked and traffic is difficult. Our army has not received a reply from Master Jiancheng, and has not actually reached an alliance." Xu Shiyu shook his head and said a big truth, and then he respectfully said: "This letter was General Meng Haigong Meng, our army's general, because he didn't know that Duke Wei had decided to ask for an alliance from Li Jiancheng. When he was in Hanoi, he accidentally obtained it from passers-by. Duke Wei knew that Mr. Tang, you are extremely wise, and he would definitely suspect that it was forged by our army, but the envoy brought it by the way. Please ask His Highness the King of Tang to take a look."

Chen Sangliang was nodding, and the guards beside him came forward to take the letter and held it in front of Chen Sangliang with both hands. Chen Sangliang took the letter and opened it and found that the letter was written by Li Jiancheng to Wang Shichong, which surprised Chen Sangliang. Li Jiancheng didn't know where he knew the details of Emperor Yang of Sui's will. He also knew that Emperor Yang of Sui's last decree was to pass the throne to King Yang of Yue, and used the letter to tell Wang Shichong the content of the decree in detail, and suggested that Wang Shichong make the imperial edict public to establish the legitimacy of Yang Tong ascend the throne, and then use the reputation of the legal court in Dongdu to order all the heroes in the world to work together to fight against Chen Sangliang, a thief who violated the intention of Emperor Yang of Sui to establish the pseudo-government. Li Jiancheng will be the first to respond to Wang Shichong's call!

Not to mention, the letter brought by Xu Shiyu really made Chen Sangliang a little confused about whether it was true or not. He planned to hand it over to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to read it. Xu Shiyu observed his expression and took the opportunity to say, "Your Highness, we Duke Wei does not know whether the last emperor really has this will. At first, we did not think about letting your highness know the existence of this letter, but later something happened, which made Duke Wei furious and could not bear it anymore, and despised the Li brothers. Then he made up his mind to send a young envoy to Daxing and present this letter to His Highness the King of Tang."

"What's the matter?" Chen Sangliang asked.

"The Li brothers secretly bribed our army's adviser Zu Junyan and asked him to make a plan to alienate Mr. Wei." Xu Shiyu lowered his head and said, "It is recommended that Mr. Wei personally come forward to become a matchmaker, and marry Miss Pei Cuiyun, the daughter of our general Pei Renji, to marry Mr. Li Shimin and Mr. Li, to establish a marriage relationship, and work together to fight you to the end with Your Highness."

Chen Sangliang once again could not tell the truth, because Chen Sangliang learned through Wang Xuance's channel that Zu Junyan had indeed been bribed by Li Er and became the insider of the Li family. Li Mi had also noticed this, but for various reasons, he did not make any statement or expose it. He was just Zu Junyan transferred from the shogunate and secretly monitored it. So after listening to Xu Shiyu's introduction, Chen Sangliang's forehead was rarely beaten, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Is there really this?"

"Your Highness may not believe it, but your Highness must have an insider in our army to inquire about the news." Xu Shiyu replied calmly: "Duke Wei has already arrested Zu Junyan for questioning, and Zu Junyan has also admitted that he was bribed by the Li brothers. This matter must not be hidden from your suspicion of your highness. Your Highness can tell the authenticity after checking it."

Chen Sangliang nodded, knowing that Wang Xuance is currently Li Mi’s confidential secretary, and he must know the truth or falsehood of this matter, so Chen Sangliang simply came down and punched the table in front of him, cursing: "Every husband of the Li family! I will never give up if I don’t kill you all, I will not give up!"

Seeing that Chen Sangliang was angry, Xu Shiyu was secretly happy and said in a sincere tone: "Your Highness, our Duke Wei knows the matter between you and Miss Pei. We know that Miss Pei not only saved your life, but also fell in love with you. It was just because of all kinds of coincidences that there was no good thing. In the previous episode, General Shan Xiongxin's sister, Mr. Wei owed your favor to you in this regard, and he also knew very well that this was the Li brothers' plan to induce you to the east. The purpose was nothing more than to anger Your Highness, you sent troops to advance east and ask our army for guilt. We Duke Wei disdained it and did not want to be their shield, so the envoy came to explain with a letter and asked Your Highness to investigate it clearly."

"Thank you, Mr. Lao, thank you, Mr. Master." Chen Sangliang bowed and asked in confusion: "But as far as I know, Cui Yun is still in the Dongdu City?"

"Yes, Miss Pei is still in the Eastern Capital City." Xu Shiyu nodded, and then said respectfully: "Your Highness is so wise that you still have to take the younger envoy? With your highness's wisdom, can you not guess the pros and cons of it? If my lord Wei falls into a trap and asks Miss Pei from Mr. Zheng, once Mr. Zheng knows the reason and purpose of my lord Wei asking for Miss Pei, can he not seize this opportunity to attack? If Mr. Zheng insists on being an enemy of you, you will naturally make every effort to promote this marriage. If Mr. Zheng takes the opportunity to sow discord and stir up the flames, will our army be faced with your full attack soon?"

Chen Sangliang's face looked a little ugly. The reason was not entirely because Li Er wanted to beat Pei Cuiyun. Chen Sangliang also found that if he could not get news from Wang Xuance this time, he really couldn't tell whether this matter was a fact or Li Mi used to frame Taiyuan. Xu Shiyu secretly looked at Chen Sangliang's face and added carefully, saying: "Your Highness, forgive me. Then the Li brothers made a more shameless suggestion through Zu Junyan's mouth, saying that if my lord Wei could induce Zheng to change his daughter..., remarry, then our army would never have to worry about Zheng Gong's association and You, your Highness."

With a loud bang, Chen Sangliang rarely overturned the case in front of him, and his face turned pale. After gritting his teeth for a while, Chen Sangliang said to Master Xu: "Thank you, Mr. Shi Yu, for sending the message on his behalf. You can go down and have a banquet first. Don't worry, if I find out that this matter is true, even if I owe you a favor! If I find out that this matter is made up..."

"Our army is willing to take full responsibility!" Xu Shiyu replied frankly.

Chen Sangliang nodded, waved his hand and asked the guards to lead Xu Shiyu to rest and have a banquet, and also ordered good hospitality. As a result, after Xu Shiyu left, Fang Xuanling immediately smiled at Chen Sangliang and said, "Your Highness, it's rare to see you really get angry."

"If it were you, could you bear this?" Chen Sangliang asked in a depressed mood.

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Don't worry, let alone this matter, it is very likely that Li Mi made it up to anger you. Even if the second son of the Li family wants to retaliate for a tooth because he has a grudge against you, Wang Shichong will never agree. Wang Shichong is not a fool, so he will not know how angry you will be. Besides, he is his biological daughter, no matter how heartless he is, he will not force his daughter to death."

Chen Sangliang snorted heavily and said hatefully: "We must bring Xue Ji, her son, Cui Yun and others back as soon as possible, so as not to be hostage by Wang Shi in the future and use it to threaten me."

"Then what if you want to do it?" Du Ruhui suggested: "You have decided to send troops to Taiyuan first, but not for the time being? The Eastern Capital has advanced. Then your highness might as well make a favor and openly conclude a peace talk with Wang Shichong, promising to not violate each other, take the opportunity to return to the concubine Wang and Miss Pei, and give Wang Shichong a reassurance, let him let go and have a big fight with Li Mi, so that we can have no worries when sending troops to Taiyuan."

"Yes, this is the best way." Fang Xuanling echoed: "Although Wang Shichong has the choice of joining forces with Li Mi to advance to Wu Handao, he and Li Mi have been seriously injured. Even if they join forces, they may not be sure to win Wu Handao and often close their positions. At the same time, he has to guard against Li Mi's sudden stabbing him in the back. Taking advantage of the opportunity that we have no time to look east, destroying Li Mi to regain Luokou Cang and Hulao Pass is his best choice at present. With Wang Shichong's intelligence, he will not be unable to see this."

"By the same, Li Mi's side is the same." Fang Xuanling added: "Li Mi also knows very well that he and Wang Shichong will have a decisive battle sooner or later, and they will definitely worry that we support Wang Shichong to defeat him. He tried every means to lure us to send troops to Taiyuan first. In addition to fighting for rest time, we will also strive for the best opportunity to break through Wang Shichong, so that our army cannot strongly assist Wang Shichong. So as long as we sign a peace agreement with Wang Shichong and Li Mi, when our main force heads north to Taiyuan, they will inevitably launch a decisive battle, or whether you die or I live in a comprehensive decisive battle!"

Chen Sangliang nodded repeatedly. After a moment of calculation, Chen Sangliang suddenly said: "Don't do it, in addition to making a peace agreement with them, we should just make the news of our advancing to Taiyuan directly publicize the news of our advancing to Taiyuan! Write a manifesto to count the infatuation of the infatuation of the Li family in Taiyuan, plot against the rebellion and killing the Dai King, and offer a reward for the Li brothers' heads to disclose our decision to advance to Taiyuan! Then post the manifesto to the passes of various counties and counties in various places, so that everyone in the world knows that we are about to send troops to Taiyuan. The king's reputation has always been good, and the manifesto spreads all over the world. No matter how suspicious Wang Shichong and Li Mi can understand that I am here for the real time this time!"

"Miscellaneous is wonderful, but in this way, we will lose a lot of opportunities." Fang Xuanling said hesitantly: "The spring plowing has not yet ended completely, so we cannot start preparing for war immediately. After the spring plowing is over, we will start preparing food, grass and military supplies, mobilizing soldiers to mobilize the army, which will take a lot of time. Now we will make the plan to send troops to Taiyuan to the world, which will give the Li brothers too much time to prepare for war and respond. At that time, they will strengthen their defense in the Queshi Valley area, or seek reinforcements from the surrounding bandits. If we want to take Taiyuan, we will probably take time and strength."

"And." Fang Xuanling added with a smile: "As soon as the manifesto was released, you and the Li brothers completely broke up. If you want to use your best and favorite divisive trick, you may not have a chance."

"It's okay." Chen Sangliang waved his hand and said, "The manifesto only mentions Li Da and Li Er's name, and says that they are the culprits. As long as they surrender, the rest of the people will not be investigated. Doing so is a plan of discord, which is enough to make Li Yuanji have a strange intention!"

"As for giving the Li brothers too long to prepare for war, it actually won't be much longer." Chen Sangliang snorted again: "Taiyuan is a thousand miles away from Daxing. We can only transport grain by land along the way. The army is moving slowly. Li Erlang will definitely learn lessons after suffering the loss of our blitzkrieg war. He will immediately strengthen defense when we find that we are preparing for war. Our army will cross the Yellow River and set foot in Hedong. The Li brothers will immediately understand that we are coming to them. At that time, they will still make every effort to prepare for war. We will also fight to the Queshi Valley just as soon as we are ready. With morale and the advantage of the pre-emptive force, we will sound the alarm for them to prepare for war in advance. On the contrary, their army will become slack and exhausted due to long-term mental tension."

After saying that, Chen Sangliang added another sentence in his stomach and said intimately: "This was how Taizong fought against Yue Monkey. The attack time was probably more than three months later than Yue Monkey. Yue Monkey was too nervous to prepare for battle every day, and he dragged himself down. When Taizong really fought, Yue Monkey was caught off guard."

"What Your Highness said is indeed reasonable." Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "What should we do if the Li brothers are asking for help? Do we also send envoys to contact the bandits around Taiyuan, and strive to pull them to our side and help us siege the Li brothers?"

"Of course I have to do this." Chen Sangliang nodded and sneered: "The Li brothers will definitely ask for help from the surrounding bandits such as Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu and Luo Yi, and they use nothing more than the saying "The Li brothers can understand this truth. These traitors cannot understand it. Even if they insist on helping, it doesn't matter. We are dispatching the main force to fight these away troops on the away court. It is much more convenient to eliminate them than to directly hit their door!"
