Chapter 143: Embarrassment

You will know the meaning of elegance when you hear the strings and songs.

As soon as he heard Gongsun Changming's question, Cao Xin knew that this was an answer that the governor, including Li Anguo, wanted to know, but they were just not easy to ask.

After asking, it means that they have doubts and fears about Cao Xin, and do not ask. This knot is hidden in the heart, which will cause speechless cracks and distrust between the two sides. For now, when we need to work together to fight the enemy, it is of course extremely unfavorable to have such problems within.

Gongsun Changming is the best candidate to ask this question. He is detached and has a very good personal relationship with Li Anguo and Cao Xin. Now he is working as a military advisor in Chengde. It is natural and not abrupt to ask.

"This matter is a long story, let's go in and talk!" Cao Xin nodded with a smile, indicating that he understood the other party's meaning, but Li Ze's matter was obviously not easy to talk about in public.

The group walked into the hall and although they had not received the answer, overall, everyone was in a good mood. No matter what the reason was, when Chengde was at its most critical moment, Cao Xinneng led his army to come, which was enough to explain the problem.

Because of the entry of 20,000 reinforcements, the city of Shenzhou suddenly became much easier.

"Jingshuai, the young master has gone to find me." After sitting down, Cao Xin was straight to the point.

In the lively hall just now, there was a silence, and most of the people were embarrassed. Some looked down at their toes, some turned to admire the scenery outside, and some looked at Cao Xin in fear. Most of these people were officials from Shenzhou, such as Du Teng, Huang Shang, etc.

The situation is really subtle now.

In the past, everyone said that the governor had only one son like Li Che, and Li Che was very outstanding, so naturally there was no problem. But now, there was a guy like Li Ze, and the freshly released young master was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He was still living in a small village, so he had already made the eldest master and the governor of Suning and Su were so tired.

But even so, no one thinks that Li Che will lose in this competition, because everyone is used to Li Che, not only accustomed to his existence, but also accustomed to his way of doing things. Young Master Li Ze, no one even knows his temperament, so naturally they will not support him.

But now the situation is different.

Li Che was defeated in Hejian Mansion and his life and death were unknown. If he unfortunately lost his life, then the young master could immediately ascend to heaven and become Cheng Dexin's major general.

If this is true, it would be simple. If you are afraid that Li Che will come back safely, then things will be troublesome. Li Che, who was defeated, suffered a great blow in both reputation and strength. Now it seems that the young master has already won Cao Xin's support. The scene of the two sons fighting will be truly placed in front of everyone.

By then, everyone will have to take sides.

And taking sides in politics is the most terrifying.

Once you stand in the wrong position, you will never be able to recover.

The hall was very quiet, and Li Anguo was naturally embarrassed. He coughed a few times before saying, "A little baby with a stinky breast, what are you going to do?"

When this sentence is said, everyone in the hall naturally disagrees with it. From the perspective of his father, the fifteen-year-old Li Ze is still still stinky, but from the perspective of everyone, he will never see it like this. Can a doll kill hundreds of elite cavalry of Suning silently? Can a doll treat Cao Xin so seriously?

"Jie Shuai, the young master found me and analyzed the various possible situations in this war in detail. It particularly emphasized that Zhenwu had the possibility of rebellion. Combined with some unreasonable situations that Zhenwu showed on the battlefield at that time, I was shocked and sweated. "Cao Xin looked at everyone and said, "Don't Cao know that it is indeed uneasy to gather a large number of soldiers in this period of time, but Cao would rather make others suspicious than to do this, just in case. Moreover, Cao also believed that Jie Shuai would never think that Cao had any evil intentions because of this."

Cao Xin directly tore the matter away. Although everyone was a little embarrassed, they were really relieved.

"Everyone knows that Yizhou has many water systems. Flood control and flood prevention are the top priority of the year after spring plowing every year. Yizhou has already issued a large number of corvee labor to repair water conservancy, so after receiving the warning from the young master, Cao can gather the troops in the shortest time to prepare food and grass." Speaking of this, Cao Xin sighed: "I would rather all my preparations be in vain, but I expected that I had just completed the assembly and bad news came from Shenzhou, and I immediately led my army."

Speaking of this, everyone had already finished speaking for Cao Xin, but unexpectedly, he paused for a moment and then said: "The young master's accuracy in judging the current situation and his grasp of people's hearts made Cao very amazed."

There was another unspeakable embarrassment in the hall.

After a while, Li Anguo said in a fury: "Since that little beast knew that something was going to happen in this battle, why didn't he lead his subordinates to come to rescue?"

Everyone's heads became lower and lower.

Gongsun Changming said softly: "Mr. Li, he doesn't come because of something else, but because of his status. What name does he use?"

One sentence immediately blocked Li Anguo back.

Gongsun Changming did not make the words clear, but everyone in the room understood what the words meant.

When Li Zeruo comes, the dispute between the eldest and older sons is about to be put on the stage.

If Li Zeruo comes, maybe Chengde will start working first.

There were laughter outside, but the hall was quiet. It was originally a good thing, but Li Ze suddenly jumped out and threw everyone into a difficult situation.

This matter is not good, nor is it good to not say it.

But one thing that everyone knows is that after the war is over, Chengde will have to face internal disputes.

In the night, Li Anguo and Gongsun Changming stood in the shadows, looking at Suning's angry face on the window with lights not far away.

"Let me out, let me out!" Suning roared.

"Du Teng told Suning what happened during the day today." Ang Guodao Li.

"Mr. Li, you can't release Suning now." Gongsun Changming advised.

"I know." Li Anguo said quietly. "Cao Xin has almost made his attitude clear now. If Suning comes out, he will cause more trouble. Now, Shenzhou's persistence cannot be separated from Cao Xin. When Suning makes trouble with him, it will only make us disconnect from within."

"Cao Xin has come out in full bloom this time." Gongsun Changming said: "Now the young master has thousands of elite soldiers in his hand. Cao Xin can be regarded as giving all his old lair to the young master. This fully illustrates the problem. Mr. Li, from now on, you really have to consider this issue seriously."

"What kind of virtue does that little muddy have to convince Cao Xin?" Li Anguo was a little confused.

"The young master not only convinced Cao Xin, but I am now convinced." Gongsun Changming looked at Li Anguo: "Actually, after we arrived in Shenzhou, the young master also sent someone to send me a letter to talk about the risks of this battle. However, at that time, I did not take what he analyzed to heart and thought it would be impossible. But now, the fact is that I slapped me hard. If I had seriously considered this matter and strongly opposed Li Che's release, maybe the current situation would have been much better. I was blinded by hatred. Mr. Li, I was dereliction of duty."

Li Anguo shook his head, "Changming doesn't have to say that. In fact, no matter whether you oppose or not, I will finally decide to fight this battle, because it is related to the future survival of our Chengde. Lu Long is the danger in front of us, and the court is the danger in the future. No matter which one, I will eventually want to destroy my Li family."

Gongsun Changming sighed to the sky: "The storm is coming, and internal and external troubles are worrying. Mr. Li, I seem to have seen this world and are about to return to the situation that was more than ten years ago. But we are all old."

Both of them were speechless.

Cheng De's situation is too special. Without the grudges between King Su and King Li, Li Anguo might have been able to find a way to bridge the rift between Li Che and Li Ze, but with the deep blood hatred between these two families, there would be no way to reconcile it.

"No matter what, let's talk about it after winning this battle. If you lose this battle, it will be useless to think about it now." Li Anguo said in a loss.

Gongsun Changming thought for a while and said, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, if something happens to the eldest son, there is naturally nothing to say. If the eldest son returns safely, what are you going to do?"

Li Anguo, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly froze. After a while, he said with some difficulty: "If Che'er comes back, I will naturally support him. I will naturally tell him where Cao Xin is. It's a decades old brother, and I think he will still stand by my side."

Gongsun Changming nodded silently and did not say anything. Li Anguo and Li Che have been together for more than 20 years, and Li Anguo grew up little by little since childhood. This kind of affection is far from comparable to Li Ze. In terms of emotionality, Li Anguo's choice is not wrong. Choosing Li Che is the easiest and safest way to choose Li Che. In Li Anguo's opinion, everything that Li Anguo had in Chengde can be said to have been snatched from Wang's hands. His subordinates were more or less stained with the blood of the Wang clan. If Li Ze came to power, it is difficult to say whether these people would have resistance in their hearts and cause any confusion.

From this point of view, Gongsun Changming is optimistic about Li Ze no matter how he is, he is afraid that he will not be able to change Li Anguo's decision.
