The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 1242 The sun shines on him, not on you!

"Well, Zhijie, I was right about you."

Fang Xuanling nodded in satisfaction, with undisguised admiration on his face. He looked around and whispered, "If you have this attitude, you will see the light of day again. I will pass your words to the emperor and the emperor, and there will definitely be a good result."

"Thank you, Lao Fang."

Cheng Yaojin expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart, and then said: "I have never dealt with the Right Wise King, so I don't know what kind of person he is. But I have been with Shi Luodie for half a year, and I know that this person is deep-minded, far-sighted, and has the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf. He has the appearance of a tyrant, and sooner or later he will be a threat to our Tang Dynasty."

"If possible, we must kill this person in the Central Plains at all costs and not allow him to have the opportunity to display his power."

'Well'

Fang Xuanling frowned when he heard this, and said with an embarrassed look: "Zhijie, you know, the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty right now is not Shi Luodie. No matter how powerful he is, he only has 50,000 soldiers and horses left, and he can no longer cause any big waves."

"Even if it is a hidden danger, that will be a matter for the future."

"The Right Wise King actually led an army of 800,000 and charged into the Guannei Road, with the intention of destroying our Great Tang. This is the imminent threat. If we don't handle it well, it will be a disaster!"

"The emperor and several of our old ministers mean that we should unite all the forces that can be united to fight against the Right Wise King. Shi Luodie and the Right Wise King have become mortal enemies for the grassland and have irreconcilable conflicts."

"This is our chance to unite and fight against the Right Wise King."

"Shi Luodie is so cautious. Once a fight breaks out, victory is hard to predict. Regardless of victory or defeat, the strength used to resist the Right Wise King will be weakened. The gain will not outweigh the loss!"

Cheng Yaojin was also embarrassed when he heard this. He knew that the court would not leave the Right Wise King's 800,000 men alone to deal with Shi Luodie's 50,000 men. He knew the priorities here.

However, Shi Luodie's insidiousness and cunningness left him an indelible impression, making him feel like a thorn in his side and a thorn in his side, and he wanted to get rid of him immediately.

"Alas, the situation is like this, what can we do?"

Cheng Yaojin sighed and said, "Sir Fang, the emperor and the officials in the court are right. If I were here, I would also persuade the court to make this decision."

Fang Xuanling added: "Moreover, I can tell you that unless the Right Wise King is eliminated, the court will not kill Shi Luodie in a short period of time. The Right Wise King is the only one in power in the northern grasslands. If Shi Luodie can occupy the east, he can compete with the Right Wise King."

"For our Tang Dynasty, it will be beneficial and harmless. The more powerful he is, the more he can shoulder the responsibility of restraining the Right Wise King. The court will not kill him, but will strongly support him instead."

Well.
Cheng Yaojin was stunned. He had not expected this. Although Fang Xuanling's plan was unexpected, it made sense. The Central Plains dynasty could not conquer the grasslands, and most of them used the tactics of division and balance, and helping the weak.

It seems that Shi Luodie really can't move.

Cheng Yaojin sighed to the sky, damn, this man's luck is so good, he rushed into Hebei and plundered everywhere, traveled across Shandong, plundered countless things, and in the end he became fat and bloated, and the court even treated him politely.

In the future we will have to send it back to the grassland respectfully and continue to support it. What a big deal!

"Mr. Fang is right. I am short-sighted."

Cheng Yaojin smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly: "It's just that I see such a person who is destined to bring disaster to the Central Plains in the future and cannot be eliminated, and I always feel unwilling in my heart!"

"Haha, I understand how you feel."

Fang Xuanling comforted him, "We have to take one step at a time and do things one step at a time. There is no rush. Each generation should take care of its own affairs. If Shi Luodie wants to do something violent again, that will be a matter for the future. The Right Wise King will take care of him."

"Every generation has its own talents. I believe that China's Central Plains will not lose to the wild grasslands."

Afterwards, Cheng Yaojin introduced some of the internal situations of Li You and Shi Luodie and matters that needed attention. After Fang Xuanling had a better understanding of the situation in Luoyang, he bowed and left to find Li You to discuss the matter of joining forces with Shi Luodie to deal with the Right Wise King.

In the evening, the sun sets, and the golden afterglow falls on the earth, illuminating the city of Luoyang with a golden glow.

Ten kilometers north of Luoyang City, in a valley nestled in the mountains and beside a river, fifty thousand Turkic cavalrymen were stationed in a camp.

Li You, with a team of personal guards, rode quickly into the Turkic military camp and arrived at the Khan's tent.

It was dinner time, and on the table in front of Shi Luodie were a roasted leg of lamb, a pot of stewed venison, a pot of fern soup, a few flatbreads, and two pots of mare's milk. Shi Luodie was using his golden knife to cut off a piece of the roasted lamb.

He swished the condiment in the dish in front of him, put it in his mouth and ate it with relish. Then he picked up the mare's milk, tilted his head back and took a big gulp, eating it with great pleasure!
Having lived in the grassland for a long time, Shi Luodie has long adapted to the nomadic lifestyle and can accept life in both the north and the south.

But now he is the Great Khan of the Turks, so naturally he wants to share the joy with the people.

After half a year of getting along, the two of them had become very familiar with each other. Li You, who came in, was not shy and just found a small table and sat down.

"Brother, you haven't eaten yet!"

Shi Luodie ordered the servant beside him: "Serve the King of Qi a portion according to this Khan's standards. This Khan wants to have a good drink with my dear brother." After a while, the same meal was placed in front of Li You.

Li You looked at Shi Luodie's greeting, picked up the knife helplessly, and started to eat. Li You had been spoiled since childhood, accustomed to the fine clothes and delicacies of Chang'an, and was not interested in the food on the grassland. It was just out of politeness that he couldn't refuse.

In fact, he seldom came to the Turkic tent because he didn't want to eat with these grassland people.

But at this moment, even if the food was not different, even if there were delicacies in front of him, he had no intention of enjoying them. He just perfunctorily responded bit by bit: "Brother, I'm done. Our grand plan has not been implemented yet, and it has been declared shattered?"

"Oh?"

Shi Luodie had known the inside story for a long time, but he pretended to know nothing and asked in confusion, "What do you mean, brother? We have gathered 500,000 troops, trained them a little bit, and will soon attack Tongguan and march into Chang'an, right?"

"Now the people of Shandong Province support it. Unless Li Chengqian admits that the land belongs to the people, this is the only solution. However, Li Chengqian is being coerced by the nobles, and he will not risk offending them and admit it."

"Could something have happened again?"

Li You shook his head calmly: "This morning, Fang Xuanling came to Luoyang and brought some very bad news. My father appeared."

"Who? Your father?"

Shi Luodie asked in surprise: "Li Shimin, isn't he dead?"

"Who said that? He just fainted and lost consciousness."

Li You rolled his eyes at Shi Luodie and said, "It's almost the same as being dead, but no one could have imagined that this living dead could be resurrected."

Li You said this, and slashed the lamb leg with the dagger in his hand. He gritted his teeth and said, "God is really blind. He could have lived if he had lived, two months earlier or later. He had to die at this reclamation festival. It has caused me so much pain."

"Have you ever verified this? Could it be that Fang Xuanling is bluffing you?"

Li You shook his head, a look of despair on his face: "The letter he brought this morning was confirmed by a messenger from Chang'an in the afternoon. This is proof of that. In the past few days, my father has frequently summoned his ministers to court, and the officials in Chang'an have seen it all."

"Even my informants in Chang'an have been notified. There is no way it can be false."

"My father has really woken up. You know, if it was my cheap elder brother, I would still have the strength to fight. But my father is the Khan who conquered the Tang Dynasty, intimidated my grandfather, and made all the barbarians submit to him. I have no chance of winning, not at all."

"It's a pity that this is the case."

Shi Luodie looked at Li You's frustration and felt secretly happy in his heart. Your mission has been gloriously completed, and the wedding dress for Chang'an has been prepared. It's time to leave.

But he agreed with regret: "If it was two months earlier, you would still be the general of the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition; if it was two months later, you might have captured Chang'an and made it a fait accompli. But it happened at this time, to use the words of your Central Plains."

"The sun shines on him, not on you."

Li You looked at Shi Luodie eagerly, hoping that this sworn brother could show his amazing wisdom and find a way out for him: "Brother, what do you think we should do? Are we really going to give up like this?"

"You know, we have 500,000 troops in Luoyang. I won't accept it if they just surrender like this!"

"My dear brother, this is fate. What can you do?"

Shi Luodie sighed: "You also said that if it was Li Chengqian we would not be afraid at all, but it was Li Shimin, Jie Li..."

"Oh no"

"My father Khan was defeated by him, what can you and I do? If I still had 300,000 cavalrymen, I wouldn't be afraid. But I lost most of them in the process of conquering your kingdom. Now I only have 50,000 men left. Even if you are brave, you can't turn the tables."

"Who says it isn't?"

Li You said bitterly, "This morning, when Fang Xuanling appeared and announced only one imperial decree, the civil officials and military officers I had won over turned against me and sided with the court, following Fang Xuanling's lead."

"Fang Xuanling is so clever that he entered Luoyang in a carriage and defeated my army of 500,000 with just a few words. He is really amazing."

"It's not Fang Xuanling who is so powerful, but Li Shimin who is behind him."

Shi Luodie consoled him, "A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Li Shimin's prestige among the military and civilians is too high, no less than that of the founding emperor of your Tang Dynasty. He is the man of destiny who broke the old era and established a new dynasty."

"Your defeat was not unfair. Who among those who were born in the same era as him was not defeated by him?"

After saying that, he saw the steaming roasted lamb leg in front of him. He was afraid that it would get cold if he delayed for a while, so he couldn't help but cut off a piece and started chewing.
