In a pavilion in the Prince's Mansion in Luzhou City, Jiang Yunqing had been brought here for a while by an attendant.
The fruit plate that was served was eaten by Jiang Yunqing in one bite, and Li Cunxu arrived belatedly with a smile on his face.
"Some things were delayed, keeping the messenger waiting for a long time."
"Your Majesty is busy with affairs, so there is no need to do anything."
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. What's more, I came here to discuss important matters. What's more, in a sense, I have something to ask for.
Of course, the attitude of asking for help cannot be shown openly.
"I wonder why the envoy came here?"
Li Cunxu sat down opposite Jiang Yunqing, frowning and asking.
"It's about Zhu Youzhen's 300,000-strong army attacking Qi."
Jiang Yunqing didn't try too hard and went straight to the point when he opened his mouth.
"In this case, the envoy should go to Taiyuan to visit my father. After all, he is the king of Jin, and his decision must be made by him when dealing with the affairs of the Jin Kingdom."
Li Cunxu rested his palms on the stone table in the pavilion and looked at Jiang Yunqing with an unkind look.
At this time, the envoys from Qi State came to Jin State to ask Jin State to send troops to attack Liang, so as to achieve the effect of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao State, and to relieve the pressure on Qi State.
But the envoy from the Qi Kingdom in front of him did not go to Taiyuan to visit his father, but came to Luzhou to visit him as soon as possible. Doesn't this tell the world that in the Jin Kingdom, Li Cunxu's words are more effective than the King of Jin?
His father was already very suspicious. If the old guy found out about this today, I am afraid that what would follow would be to try to reduce his military power.
"But I, Qi Kingdom, feel that King Jin is old, and His Highness the Crown Prince is the one we need to deal with."
Jiang Yunqing saw Li Cunxu's thoughts and smiled politely but gracefully.
"you······"
Li Cunxu suddenly stood up, his eyes widened, and pointed at Jiang Yunqing, as if he was about to get angry because Jiang Yunqing was slandering his father.
But suddenly, Li Cunxu's expression changed, he slowly sat down, showing a helpless smile.
"You are so straightforward that I don't even know how to answer."
"When the benefits are right in front of you, communicating in a roundabout way is just a waste of time. What do you think, Your Highness?"
Jiang Yunqing's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, as if he had not seen Li Cunxu's change of expression just now.
As soon as Jiang Yunqing said this, Li Cunxu's eyes suddenly lit up. He even looked up at Jiang Yunqing and asked, "I wonder what the envoy is called?"
"The surname is Jiang and the name is Yunqing!"
Jiang Yunqing answered truthfully, there was no need to deceive with this kind of basic information.
"Yes." Li Cunxu nodded to himself: "Then I'll call you Brother Jiang. I wonder if Brother Jiang could elaborate on what he just said? I'd also like to hear Brother Jiang's opinions."
"Hey, I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it!"
Jiang Yunqing quickly waved his hand and refused. He is an adult and needs to be self-aware. Don't think that if someone calls you brother, they will really treat you as a brother.
Of course, you can't refuse too hard, you can just say it casually, otherwise it will look like you look down on others, which would be unjust and generous.
After casually saying that he couldn't stand it, Jiang Yunqing began to formally answer Li Cunxu's question: "I think it is a good time to destroy Liang!"
"how do I say this?"
Li Cunxu's upright body leaned forward slightly and leaned on the table.
Jiang Yunqing also followed suit, leaning forward slightly, leaning on the table and saying: "Zhu Youzhen personally led an army of 300,000 soldiers to march, and Yang Shihou was the accompanying general to lead the army. Although Liang Guo claimed to have millions of mercenaries, according to the According to my investigation, Liang State actually has at most 650,000 combat-ready troops. Including the previous losses in Luzhou, there are 700,000, which is only 800,000."
"Although the 800,000 troops are still strong, although the Liang Kingdom is entrenched in the fertile Central Plains, it is almost undefendable and requires a large number of troops to garrison the borders."
"In this way, excluding the 300,000 troops who attacked Qi, the Bianzhou defenders plus the shrinking defense line on the Jin border will not exceed 100,000."
“Bianzhou is so empty, wouldn’t it be a great opportunity to destroy Liang in one fell swoop?”
Jiang Yunqing raised this question again and looked at Li Cunxu.
Li Cunxu frowned slightly when he heard this. With his strategic vision, he had naturally thought of this.
Otherwise, he would not go to Taiyuan to ask for orders.
But now Li Keyong rejected his request to send troops. Although he was unwilling to do so, he needed a reason to convince himself.
"But if Zhu Youzhen's 300,000 troops return to support Bianzhou, or if troops are mobilized from other border areas to support Bianzhou, not only will Bianzhou be unable to be taken, but our Jin country will also be seriously injured."
Li Cunxu hit the nail on the head and revealed part of the information that Jiang Yunqing had inadvertently hidden in his words.
"At that time, I am afraid that Liang and Jin will fight again, and the Qi Kingdom will continue to reap the benefits like last time."
There are many princes and vassals in the world, and there are so many ambitious people. Li Cunxu did not dare to underestimate Li Maozhen's ambition. After all, Li Maozhen was such a lawless person.
After all, Li Maozhen's position as King Qi was not awarded so willingly by Emperor Zhaozong.
"The Liang Kingdom has been growing for a long time, and its actions are domineering and ruthless. There are many people who are dissatisfied, and there are also many people who want a piece of the pie. As the saying goes, all the prosperity in the world is for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit. A sick tiger has its own pack of wolves. Share the food.”
Jiang Yunqing said in a playful tone: "I think that no one would refuse to join the wolf pack and choose to be a lamb that just sits and watches the wolves eat the sick tiger. What do you think, Your Highness?"
Li Cunxu heard this and smiled knowingly: "I think so too."
"only······"
Suddenly, Li Cunxu frowned and changed his voice again: "You might as well tell Brother Jiang directly that I went to Taiyuan to ask for orders before, asking to take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to Bianzhou to destroy Liang, but no matter what, my father did not grant my request. "
"If I send out troops without permission this time, I'm afraid I will get the reputation of disobeying my father's orders!"
"Hey, how can this be considered disobeying my father's orders? His Royal Highness is just being naughty." Jiang Yunqing said righteously.
"A little naughty? Brother Jiang's statement is a bit unique."
Li Cunxu's frown suddenly relaxed, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, seeming to agree with Jiang Yunqing's statement.
"What's more, the blue is better than the blue. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach. If the waves in front are not beaten to death on the beach, how can they be worthy of the vigor of us behind the waves?"
Jiang Yunqing recalled the character model of Li Cunxu constructed in his mind and continued to take advantage of the situation.
"Okay, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Brother Jiang should be my confidant!"
Li Cunxu, who has outstanding abilities and has long been able to stand alone, has been suppressed by Li Keyong for a long time, and the resentment in his heart can be said to have been accumulated for a long time.
Now Jiang Yunqing's words could be said to have spoken to his heart, making him feel very happy.
He came over excitedly and took Jiang Yunqing's hand, and said to the Mirror Heart Demon outside the court: "Jing Xin Demon, prepare a banquet. I will get drunk with Brother Jiang tonight."
Jing Xin Mo, who was waiting outside the court, bowed exaggeratedly when he heard Li Cunxu's order.
"As you command!"
