Li Yixian looked solemn and was speechless for a long time. He knew that what Li Jun said was true.
"If you rely on the favorable geographical location of Qianzhou, you may be able to sustain it for a few more days."
Li Yixian paid his respects again and said: "Although Qianzhou has favorable geographical location and popular support, the prince The raid on Linyuan Village has cut off Qianzhou's retreat. There is no pay, no food and grass. Qianzhou is definitely no match for the prince. One day more and one day less persistence will not change the final result. Li doesn't want to see anyone again. An innocent person died in vain."
Li Jun scratched his face, ignored the search, nodded, and said: "You have a clear understanding of the situation in Qianzhou. This king is responsible. If you want to surrender, you should turn to Cheng Zhu instead of me."
"Cheng Zhu is just a villain relying on nepotism, and his talents are not enough to become the commander of an army. , today is fatuous, does not distinguish between loyal and treacherous, and loves villains but far away from virtuous ministers. In the prosperous age, Li Yixian's death is not regrettable, but the daughter of the Cheng family will definitely investigate the tragic death of her father, and the people of Qianzhou will be in trouble. If there is no one left, the people of the world will lose their hearts. At that time, the people will be devastated and the war will be rekindled. The imperial court has been fighting for years, and your Majesty is unwilling to use a warrior as brave and capable as the prince. There will never be a time when things will change. Qianzhou is just trying to save the imperial court!"
Li Jun teased: "You know how to say it."
But he was thinking about these words in his heart. As Li Yixian said, the reason why the Qianzhou incident is difficult is not because the terrain of Qianzhou is difficult to conquer, but because the people of Qianzhou have been suffering for a long time and are using Li Yixian's incident to resist tyranny. The riots can be suppressed, but the people's hearts cannot be suppressed. How to restore the people of Qianzhou to have confidence in the court is the fundamental way to solve this matter. Otherwise, if Li Yixian is killed and Cheng Yuan is killed, there will still be riots in Qianzhou.
Thinking of this, Li Yan was really speechless towards Emperor Yan Ping. If Emperor Yan Ping couldn't tell the difference between treachery and loyalty, then it would be acceptable. But Emperor Yan Ping still defended this obvious fool. Li Han was shocked when he received the letter from Fei Ge. Emperor Yan Ping could always refresh his understanding. In order to protect the idiot he trusts, he will not hesitate to use his wits to attack him.
"Well, what you said is not unreasonable. If you are suppressed like this, I am afraid that the people of Qianzhou will be dissatisfied and will rebel again. Let me make a bet with you. I will not interfere with the affairs of Qianzhou for the time being. You will act as the prefect of Qianzhou. If within a year you can make the people live and work in peace and contentment, get rid of the current abuses, and return to the king's status, I can intercede with the court and officially appoint you as the governor. Governor of Qianzhou, how about being exempted from the crime of rebellion?"
"If I fail?"
"If you fail, the situation in Qianzhou will be completely out of control. We can only suppress it forcefully. The consequences will not be worse than they are now. It’s up to you whether you want to try or not.”
“Will the court give me this time?”
As Li Jun said, he does not represent the DPRKThe court, on behalf of Emperor Yan Ping, what would happen if Emperor Yan Ping launched another massive attack midway?
Li Jun expressed his helplessness and said: "If the imperial court marches again, I can't do anything. It depends on your luck. However, as far as I know, my father is determined to support the Cheng family and wants to Let you be the whetstone of the Cheng family, so there should be no change of commander. If the opponent is Cheng Zhu, and you can still be defeated, then I have nothing to say to the Southern Army. I have my own arrangements, so you stick to it. It's easy to say that when your cooperation is needed, I will send someone to meet you."
Li Jun can make a bet with Li Yixian and give him time to give him a chance, but he will not let the soldiers of the Southern Conquest Army. Lose your life in vain, otherwise it will be a penny gain.
Li Yixian saw that Li Han had thought carefully, and he believed it a little. After all, pie would not fall from the sky, and the death of some people would not be a big loss to the court. How could Li Han do it for the people of Qianzhou? And sacrificed the soldiers of the Southern Army? If he really did this, Li Yixian would not dare to cooperate with him.
In fact, the reason why Li Yan did this was because of Emperor Yan Ping. Cheng Zhu was not a talented general at all. If the Southern Conquest Army was still led by He Ze, he would not have any involvement in the affairs of Qianzhou. However, Emperor Yan Ping favored the Cheng family wholeheartedly. Even though the soldiers of the Southern Conquest Army sacrificed more than 20,000 people in vain because of Cheng Zhu's stupidity, Emperor Yan Ping still had no regrets. Emperor Yan Ping didn't care about the lives of these soldiers because the imperial court had millions of troops at this time. What was 20,000 people? For Emperor Yan Ping, who lived in the temple and never left the palace, it was really just a number. What he cared about was He only has his own throne.

This bet seems to favor the people of Qianzhou, but on the other hand, it is also hoped that Qianzhou will maintain the status quo before the court changes its commander, lest the soldiers sacrifice their lives in vain.
Give each other a buffering opportunity in one year.
Li Yixian had no choice at all. If he refused, he would have to be trapped in the isolated city as his supply source had been cut off. As long as the imperial army surrounded him for three to five months, the hungry people would tie him up. Of the officers and soldiers. His only chance of winning is that the commander he opposes is always at Cheng Zhu's level, so maybe he can really succeed. But it was obvious that the King of Jin, who was exiled in Yu County, would not be able to give him this opportunity.
Li Yixian said with emotion: "Although the prince is exiled here, he does not look like an exiled person at all."
Not only is he well-informed, he can even carry Emperor Yan Ping on his back. Mobilizing state and county officers and soldiers, no exiled prince in the past dynasties has ever been able to do this.
Li Jun scratched his face and said: "I am just a popular person and have many friends."
"I have an unkind request, and I would like to ask the prince to agree to it. ”
“Say. ”
“Yuan Wei has never done anything harmful to nature, but he has never done anything harmful to the world. Can the prince be lenient and let him go?”Got him? "
Li Jun curled his lips and said: "He dared to kidnap my princess and not let him suffer. How could you let me have the face to see my princess? "
"But..."
"Okay, I know that you have a good relationship, and I will not kill him, but if you want me to release him, I can only wait until After one year, it depends on your results. Oh, by the way, you are responsible for the king's transformation on behalf of the court and teaching the people. I don't want Qianzhou to change his surname. If I find out that you are carrying private goods and deliberately inducing the people to fight against the imperial court, then the agreement will not count and I will immediately send troops to destroy Qianzhou. "
"Prince, don't worry, Li knows what to do. "
After the two made an appointment to stay in the palace, Li Jun sent a letter to the prince to help facilitate the matter.
After the prince received the letter, he was a little surprised, but for He rarely refuses Li Jun's request, especially since the current situation is very unfavorable to him. It is necessary to maintain a relationship with Li Jun. Moreover, Li Jun does not necessarily need to ask for the prince's help in this matter. What's more important may be to tell the prince that he has no grudge against the prince's testimony against him.
