Chapter 3373: Coercion
Changsun Chong's heart was pounding. He felt that it was indeed possible for his father to agree to it, and it was indeed possible to do it.
After all, supporting the Jin King to ascend to the throne is what his father has been working tirelessly on, and represents the interests of the Guanlong clan and the Changsun family. While His Majesty was in Liaodong, he planned a mutiny in Chang'an, overthrew the East Palace and supported the King of Jin to ascend the throne, and at the same time rescued himself from Yeon Gaesumun...
He swallowed his saliva and said: "The great Molizhi is a great person in his generation, and he is a role model for us. He worked hard for Goguryeo, which is really admirable. I am willing to return to the Tang Army camp to meet my father, and try my best to persuade my father to accomplish this matter. The Changsun family and the Yuan family have been friends for generations and formed an eternal alliance!”
"Haha!"
Yuan Gaisuwen laughed and said: "Everyone in the world says that Dalang, the eldest grandson, is smart, quick and talented. He is a rising star in the Zhenguan Dynasty. However, in my opinion, he is really stupid. With you in Pingrang City, my Majesty will lick you My love is deep, and I might even take a risk to save you from death. I allowed you to return to the Tang Army's camp, and you have to escape from the cage. How can you be controlled by me? Do you think that all the heroes in the world are like pigs and dogs? No wonder you were suppressed repeatedly by Fang Jun when you were in a good situation. Doing stupid things like conspiracy and treason.”
Changsun Chong's face was red and his ears were red, and he was ashamed.
He himself also summarized his personality, which seemed to be as impetuous as others said. He often took things for granted and was self-righteous.
Wouldn't it be self-humiliating to play such a clever trick in front of a powerful man like Yeon Gae So-moon?
However, Yeon Gaesumun did not bother to cancel a bereaved dog and a dying person. He smiled and said warmly: "It's just a joke. Da Lang doesn't need to take it seriously. However, at this time, the Tang army is storming the city and time is running out. Please hurry up and write the letter." Yes.”
Changsun Chong hesitated slightly.
It's not that he still has any thoughts about his family and country in his heart. Now that he is a prisoner, he doesn't know if he will see the sun tomorrow morning, so why should he care about that?
It's just that I'm being reserved in order not to appear too weak.
Yeon Gae Suwen didn't think much about it. Seeing his hesitation, he gave him a heavy blow: "Before, the 'Wang Zhuangjun' commanded by the dog man was hiding in the deep ravine and dense forest in the back mountain of Anhak Palace. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty made a surprise attack when he was inspecting Anhe Palace, severely injuring him and injuring one of his eyes. The Tang army must have been in chaos at this time. If this attack fails, they may withdraw soon. "
Changsun Chong lost his voice and said: "How is it possible?"
Although he questioned in his mouth, he already believed it in his heart, because Yeon Gaesumun was extremely proud and never lied.
There was a huge wave in his heart.
Who would have thought that this Eastern Expedition, which involved the entire nation's efforts, would not go as smoothly as expected, but would actually cause His Majesty Li Er to suffer such heavy losses?
And this matter will definitely cause violent shocks throughout the Tang Dynasty!
The first person to bear the brunt is not only Changsun Chong who betrayed His Majesty's trust and was tricked by Yuan Gaisuwen, but his father, the leader of Guanlong, and the first-class family member of the Tang Dynasty!
And if we sit back and watch the prince consolidate his position as the heir apparent, and immediately ascend the throne as the new emperor once his majesty dies, how will he suppress the eldest grandson's family and how will he persecute his father?
Changsun Chong didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately asked someone to polish it, write a letter with his pen, sealed it with fire paint, and stamped it with the seal of Changsun's family.
"Da Molizhi can send my personal followers to send this letter back to the Tang army camp. When my father sees this letter, he will definitely agree to cooperate with Da Molizhi."
"Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Dalang is indeed a smart man. This is very good."
Yuan Gaisuwen asked someone to take the letter away and go to find Changsun Chong's personal entourage. Then he smiled and said to Changsun Chong: "The people below were very disrespectful to Dalang before, and I hope Haihan will do it. But tonight Dalang can move to Dalang." If you don't leave the house, everyone in the house will be well entertained."
At this moment, Changsun Chong was already being manipulated by Yuan Gaisuwen. He couldn't resist at all. He could only smile bitterly and said: "I feel ashamed to accept it. I dare not accept it."
Yeon Gaesumun laughed loudly: "You are my best son-in-law, a first-class talent in the world. Even if you are in a different camp, you can't belittle yourself. You have to get along well with my two sons in the future. It's a pity." Although the male Jianwu'er created unprecedented feats, he was also buried in the enemy camp with no bones left..."
*****
Tang army camp.
Hearing that Changsun Chong was not dead, Changsun Wuji was first excited and relieved, and then sighed.
He has been playing tricks all his life, how could he not know that Changsun Chong was dead but not dead, so it must be that Yuan Gaisuwen still had some use for him?
As for Changsun Chong’s use, you don’t need to think about it to know what it is...
After receiving the letter from Changsun Chong, he carefully inspected the seal. Not only was it stamped with the seal of Changsun's family, but there was also a shallow mark pressed with his fingernail in a hidden place. This was The most secret signature seal of the Changsun family. When you see this, you know that this letter must have been written by Changsun Chong, and absolutely no one in the world can imitate it.
Opening the lacquer and taking out the letter, Changsun Wuji read it line by line, with a gloomy look on his face. Without saying a word, he put the letter and the envelope together on top of the candlelight, igniting the letter and envelope, and finally turned into flames. A cloud of ashes fell to the ground.
Picking up the tea cup on the desk and taking a sip of tea, Changsun Wuji said calmly: "Go back and tell Yuan Gaisuwen that if Changsun Chong is released to return to the Tang Army camp now, I will definitely cooperate with him. If he thinks that relying on Changsun Just take your life Blackmailing me is just nonsense. I have been ruthless in my life and have never been controlled by others. Anyway, I have many sons, and there will always be someone to support me until the end of my life. One more and one less will not matter. "
The follower was Changsun Chong's confidant. Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Master, if these words are passed on, Dalang's life will be at risk!"
He had followed Changsun Chong in Pingrang City for a long time, how could he not know how evil and ruthless Yuan Gaisuwen was? He could send his son to Anhe Palace without hesitation and go deep into the hinterland of the Tang army. He knew he would die but still took the risk. How could he have the slightest hesitation in killing Changsun Chong?
The reason why Changsun Chong is not dead at this moment is because he can blackmail Changsun Chong and ask Changsun Wuji to cooperate. If Changsun Wuji refuses, Changsun Chong will be quartered by five horses...
Changsun Wuji put down the tea cup, rubbed his temples with his fingers, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and gently comforted this loyal servant who protected his master: "Even if I am cruel, how can I sit back and watch my legitimate son die? Just follow my words. If you do it, you will definitely be safe.”
He has the qualities of a hero and a ruthless nature. If necessary, he would sacrifice a son without even frowning. How could he plunge the entire family into an abyss for nothing for the sake of Changsun Chongzhi's life? But if we can take the opportunity to reach some conspiracy with Yeon Gaesumun, so that Changsun Chong can be saved from danger, it will naturally be the best of both worlds.
What's more, he already had a plan in mind, and he was just waiting for the right time to implement it. If Yeon Gaesumun could really fully cooperate with him for the withdrawal of the Tang army, it would be like forming a powerful ally, making it possible. The probability increases a bit...
Naturally, the follower couldn't guess what Changsun Wuji was thinking, and he didn't dare to talk any more. He had to turn around and leave the camp with Changsun Wuji's message, and disappeared into the night with the help of a group of soldiers.
Changsun Wuji sat alone in the tent with a cup of tea and a plate of cakes, chewing slowly and carefully considering the upcoming plan under the candlelight, every step, every link, every possible change, It is necessary to anticipate and set up plans in advance as much as possible to avoid irreversible consequences when things come to pass, causing the entire plan to fail.
Changsun Wuji sat there until ten o'clock in the morning, then stood up and left his seat, letting out a long breath at the window.
People outside the camp screamed horses all night long, and groups of soldiers marched to the front line to storm the city. Groups of soldiers withdrew from the front line to rest and recuperate. Hundreds of thousands of Tang troops attacked Pingrang City day and night, striving to break the city, overthrow Goguryeo, and complete the Eastern Conference. Conquer great cause.
His Majesty's injury was well concealed, and the Tang army's morale was not shaken.
Hundreds of thousands of troops took turns attacking the city, and the battle was led by famous generals. If the attack continued like this, it would be a matter of time before the city was defeated.
Once Pingrang City is defeated, Yuan Gaisuwen dies, and Goguryeo falls, the Eastern Expedition will end, and hundreds of thousands will return to the Tang Dynasty and station in Guanzhong.
By that time, it will be too late to make any plans...
Changsun Wuji exhaled and watched the hot breath in his mouth turn into a cloud of white mist in front of his eyes, and made up his mind.
Time waits for no one, so let’s get started. (End of chapter)
