"I see your Majesty." Cen Wenwen quickly entered the Chinese army tent and saluted Lu Zhaoci.

"Sir, you came here late at night. I think you have something to teach me. Please sit down, sir." Lu Zhaoci pulled Cen Wenwen up with a smile and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cen Wenwen still had a humble look on his face and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, General Li Jing must have gone deep into the grassland. Jieli Khan is attacked on the back and there is insufficient food and fodder. May I ask what your Majesty is going to do?

At that time, we launched an attack to wipe out Jieli's army. To avenge the two generals Ma Sanbao and Qiu Shili, as well as the more than ten thousand soldiers who died on the grassland?"

"I am also worried about this matter now!" Lu Zhaoci took a deep look at Cen Wenwen and sighed: "Although we have reinforcements here, it is obviously impossible for Jieli Khan to attack Chang'an.

, but it is possible to fight to the death with our army. With Chang'an at my back, I may be able to gain the upper hand, but what we are facing now is the cavalry of the Ashina tribe. Tuli and Qibi Heli can at least still fight.

There are hundreds of thousands of troops that have not arrived yet. Once we fight to the death with Jie Li, we may let the other side take advantage. By then, Chang'an will not be safe, and the country will not be safe!"

"Your Majesty, you think so, and Jieli Khan also thinks so." Cen Wenwen said: "He has not attacked Chang'an these days. Instead, he is waiting for the arrival of Tuli and Qibi Heli. It is because of this that he is also afraid.

Tu Li and Qibi Heli launched a surprise attack on him when they suffered heavy casualties. I guess that Jie Li didn't want to fight at this time. What's more, once we spread the news that the general went deep into the grassland, Your Majesty

Do you think that the leaders of the small Turkic tribes will still follow Jieli to attack the Central Plains? No, no, they will rush back to the grassland when the time comes, where their tribes and relatives are. So they will definitely not be able to fight with peace of mind.

Jieli Khan has a long-term vision and is a grassland overlord. Seeing that our reinforcements have arrived, he has lost the best opportunity to attack Chang'an, so he has already thought about returning to the grassland. However, I miss him.

He would definitely not agree to returning to the grassland so simply. Only when he gets enough benefits from us will he return to the grassland with peace of mind, rectify the grassland with peace of mind, eliminate all potential opponents, and then raise his troops south again to fight with me.

The decisive battle of the Tang Dynasty."

"What does Mr. Yi mean?" Lu Zhaoci asked deeply.

"Peace negotiation." Cen Wenwen said without thinking: "Only through peace negotiation, Jieli will withdraw his troops, and we can also usher in several years of development. According to your majesty's new policy, I can judge that in a few years, our Datang's

The strength is definitely higher than that of the Turks, even in field battles, they can still withstand the opponent's cavalry."

"I know what you mean, sir. But..." Lu Zhaoci nodded, then shook his head.

"Your Majesty is the founding king of the country. It's better not to come forward in this matter." Cen Wenwen could see the difficulty in Lu Zhaoci's heart at a glance. He thought about it and said, "I recommend someone who can take on this important task."

"Who?" Lu Zhaoci's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Changsun." Cen Wenwen said without hesitation.

"Why him?" Lu Zhaoci's expression changed, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and he returned to his original appearance, but his words were much lighter.

"First, Lord Changsun had a relationship with Jieli Khan, and he was the one who sent the envoy to the grassland at the beginning; secondly, and most importantly, I believe that Lord Changsun is no longer suitable for the position of Minister of Public Affairs." Cen Wenwen seemed to say.

He didn't feel the meaning of Lu Zhaoci's words, so he still lowered his head and continued: "Your Majesty, from being a tenant to a farmer, to being an official and a gentry, receiving food, and working as an errand, to now being a grandson in the capital, all of them are eldest grandsons.

Your Excellency brought this up. These two things are offending people. Even though Lord Changsun is doing well in the court now, the people below him don’t know how much they hate him. I suggest that Lord Changsun be dismissed from his official position after the peace negotiation.

"I heard that the auxiliary machine has a sister who is born in a beautiful and fragrant country. Your Majesty can ask people to ask for her and make her a concubine in the palace. What do you think, Your Majesty?"...

"Is he promoted tomorrow?" Lu Zhaoci's eyes lit up, he patted Cen Wenwen on the shoulder, and said approvingly: "I knew that Mr. Cen was a national scholar, and it was really extraordinary when I saw him today. I made a note of it, but it's just that

It’s really a shame to let the auxiliary machine bear this infamy for me!”

"Your Majesty, how do you know that this auxiliary machine may also think so?" Cen Wenwen suddenly laughed.

"oh!"

"Your Majesty, Sun Wuji, the minister's servant, wants to see your majesty." Lu Zhaoci was about to speak when he heard what he said and looked at Cen Wenwen in surprise.

"I resign!"

"No, you go to the back tent and wait. I want to see what the auxiliary machine says." As Cen Wenwen was about to leave, Lu Zhaoci suddenly pointed to the back tent and said.

"I obey the order." Cen Wenwen did not dare to neglect and hurriedly entered the back tent.

"Chang Sun Wuji pays homage to Your Majesty." Within a moment, Chang Sun Wuji burst in.

"Auxiliary machine, get up and talk." When Lu Zhaoci remembered Cen Wenwen's suggestion just now, his heart was shaken, and he quickly helped Changsun Wuji up.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to see you late at night for the sake of gain." Changsun Wuji opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, I think that at this time, both sides have no intention of fighting. If the fight continues, I'm afraid the cheaper one will be.

There are Tuli and Qibi Heli. Although Tuli admires the Central Plains, he is from the grassland. God knows what he will think when he sees this opportunity. As for Qibi Heli, it is even more terrifying.

This person just has a grudge against Jieli, and is a typical person who wants to go south to herd horses. Your Majesty, if possible, I would like to be the peace envoy and send Jieli as your majesty's envoy."

"Auxiliary machine, do you know that this negotiation with Jieli is not that easy. The other party will definitely have demands. When the time comes, even if you facilitate this matter, I will not reward you. It is even possible that

I will punish you. Some time ago, you have offended many people because of me, and these people will take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury. I am afraid that your position as a minister can no longer be maintained."

"I am a surrendered minister. Your Majesty allows me to serve as a minister. I am already very honored. I am not afraid of losing my official position. If I had not made a wrong judgment about Jie Li, Your Majesty would not be where he is today.

The situation is over, to be honest, this is all my fault." Changsun Wuji sighed.

"Well, I heard that Auxiliary Machinery has a girl that I admire very much and would like to make her my concubine. I wonder if Auxiliary Machinery is willing?" Lu Zhaoci suddenly rubbed his hands, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't expect that Lu Zhaoci would suddenly say these words at this time. As soon as his voice fell, he immediately knew what Lu Zhaoci meant. He certainly had feelings for Changsun Wugou.

I have a good impression, but I can’t marry at any time, but marrying at this time is obviously to announce to the world that his eldest grandson Wuji’s holy family has not declined. It also prevents those people from making trouble, and it is also a kind of protection for his eldest grandson Wuji. When I think of this,

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but be deeply moved.

"It is an honor for my eldest grandson family that my sister, Bo Liuzhi, can serve your majesty. I would like to express my gratitude to your majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji bowed to the ground at once.

"After the peace negotiation, I will remove you from your official position. Haha! Wenwen, come out!" Lu Zhaoci suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Just now, Wenwen also suggested that you go to the peace talks, and then let me remove you from your official position. Nawu

Gu is my concubine and I grant you the position of Sikong. You two have similar views on heroes!"

"Brother Changsun, Wen Wen has offended you." Cen Wenwen bowed to Changsun Wuji. After all, removing someone from his official position is indeed an offending thing. Even if Changsun Wuji had made preparations for this, Cen Wenwen also

Sorry.

"Don't dare, don't dare. But from now on I will be Sikong. I'm afraid Brother Cen's carriage will have to give way when it sees my carriage! Haha!" Changsun Wuji couldn't help laughing. Although Shangshu Pushe was in the position

Although he has high authority, Sikong is a senior official of the first rank. Although his power is not as good as that of Shangshu Pushe, his rank is above that of Shangshu Pushe. Therefore, Changsun Wuji has this saying...

"I have met Lord Sikong." Cen Wenwen saw that Changsun Wuji was not angry, and there was a trace of sincerity on his face, and he raised his hand to Changsun Wuji half-heartedly.

"Your Majesty, Zhongshu ordered Master Cui to ask for an audience." At this time, someone else reported outside the tent.

"Oh, it's so lively tonight! He's actually here too. You guys hide in the back. I'd like to hear what Mr. Zhongshu Ling thinks." Lu Zhaoci had a strange look on his face.

Come.

"I obey the order." Cen Wenwen and Changsun Wuji hurriedly hid in the back tent.

After a while, Cui Renshi was seen slowly walking into the imperial tent with a smile on his face. After paying homage to Lu Zhaoci, Fang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan that can help your Majesty resolve the crisis at hand."

"Oh! Uncle Guo, please tell me." Lu Zhaoci looked at Cui Renshi indifferently. Now that Lu Chengzu is the prince, Cui Renshi, as the uncle of the prince, is the real uncle.

"Your Majesty, although our army is not capable of defeating Jieli's army, we have enough food and grass to support it. Although Jieli has elite soldiers from the Ashina tribe, there is a lack of food and grass, and the internal instability of the grassland makes it difficult to defeat our army.

It is very difficult, so I think that the other party will definitely send someone to come for peace talks tomorrow. In this case, Your Majesty, why not take advantage of the situation and agree to the peace talks, and then give the other party some grain, grass, gold and silver, and Jieli will definitely return to the grassland with peace of mind. In this way, I will definitely

Tang You will have enough time to develop production, accumulate strength, and finally fight to the death with Jie Li." Cui Renshi said with confidence.

"What you say is reasonable, but I'm afraid the candidate for the peace talks is not that easy to find." Lu Zhaoci could hear some thoughts in his words.

"I have someone who can take on this important task." Cui Renshi said quickly: "The servant of the minister shot Changsun Wuji. It was because of this person who deceived the king in the first place that Jieli came today. Our army was caught off guard. At this time, it is his turn to take advantage of the attack."

I have made amends for my sin. I suggest that this person negotiate with Jie Li for peace."
