Chapter 1566: Gongsun Shu, the Golden Sword, stands on the ground
The next day, the Qin army envoy Li Hongzhang arrived in Liaodu. Gongsun Xuanyuan''s attitude towards him was the same as the Northern Han envoy, with two words "neutral". What Li Hongzhang wanted was that the Liao Kingdom did not help each other, so it was easy to complete the mission.
"General Gongsun, no matter how they fought between the Han dynasties in China and the north, they were just their brothers fighting for their family property. But now there are some conspiring with foreign tribes to assassinate their brothers in this dirty way."
Li Hongzhang looked at Gongsun Xuanyuan with a bright look. He believed that Gongsun Xuanyuan would definitely understand what he meant, and then continued: "Our Qin army and all foreign races are incompatible. We are definitely not working with any foreign race. Please give us a clear understanding."
As soon as he heard this, Gongsun Xuanyuan''s face became ugly. Li Hongzhang showed so happily that the Qin army must have nothing to do with the Qing Dynasty. Is this clearly saying that Liu Che had secretly colluded with the Qing Dynasty?
Although Gongsun Xuanyuan was also suspicious of this, after all, Liu Che sent out his main force and wanted him to lead the army south to assist in the war, as if he was not worried that the Qing Dynasty would go south at all, which was obviously not in line with common sense. The only explanation was that he had contact with the Qing Dynasty in advance.
Of course, this is just speculation and there is no conclusive evidence.
Now Li Hongzhang has brought the dirty things under the negotiating table directly to the negotiating table, in order to force Gongsun Xuanyuan, who hates the alien race, to completely draw a clear line with the Northern Han who may collude with the alien race.
Although Gongsun Xuanyuan expressed a neutral position, which was obviously more beneficial to the Qin army, Li Hongzhang still wanted to try to win over the Liao Kingdom. After all, only Gongsun Xuanyuan could truly trust him after formally taking the team.
Gongsun Xuanyuan naturally thought of this, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said a little stiffly: "There will be judged by future generations."
When Li Hongzhang heard this, he realized that he was a little anxious. He wanted Gongsun Xuanyuan to express his opinion so quickly. It is important to know that hasteness will not be achieved.
"I''m going to leave."
Looking at Li Hongzhang''s departure, Ye Qingmei smiled and said, "Brother is doing the right thing. Whether it is Qin Hao or Liu Che, our Liao Kingdom should not turn to either side at this time."
"But if you keep standing neutral, you may not be pleased with both sides." Gongsun Xuanyuan said worriedly.
"How can it be neutral?"
Ye Qingmei''s eyes flashed with a flash of light, and she said confidently: "Nearly one million troops gather in Jizhou. Just people eat horses and chew, they can eat a hill every day. Even the Qin army, which is richest in the world, cannot bear such a burden.
Therefore, within one or two months at the latest, Bai Qi and Han Xin will surely have a more intense battle. At that time, we will help whoever occupy the upper part, and we will not be left alone. ”
But a hint of hesitation flashed in Gongsun Xuanyuan''s eyes: "Let''s talk about it then."
Gongsun Xuanyuan was naturally ambitious, but the Liao Kingdom was too weak, and the geographical location was awkward, and it was in the cracks between major powers, so it was too difficult to realize its ambitions.
Not long after Li Hongzhang left, Gongsun Xuanyuan''s clan brother, Gongsun Shu, known as the golden sword on the ground, also ran over to find Gongsun Xuanyuan.
"Brother, I heard that the Qin army envoy is here too? What bargaining chips have Qin Hao used to win us over?" Gongsun Shu asked with a smile.
Gongsun Xuanyuan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Although Qin Hao offered generous conditions, it is not as good as Liu Che, and he has not been granted the title of king."
"What are you waiting for? Send troops to help Liu fight against Qin."
"Both families have rejected it to Brother Wei."
"What?"
Gongsun Shu widened his eyes and said with confusion: "That''s a king, brother, how glorious this is? Why refuse?"
"How many kings of Liu''s surname have had a good ending? None of them." Gongsun Xuanyuan smiled coldly: "Although Liu Che is now giving Yuan Shao and Han Enfeng King, sooner or later, they will definitely not be able to tolerate these two people. If it is really the day to repel Qin Hao, it will definitely be the time for them to turn against each other.
Our Liao army guards the northern border and resists foreign races. We should not move lightly. Neutrality is the best way. ”
"But…"
"Enough, I have decided to do it and will not get involved in the war in Jizhou."
"This, okay, I''ll take my leave."
Although Gongsun Shu was unwilling to accept it, he had no choice but to give in and leave.
However, before leaving, Gongsun Shu looked at Ye Qingmei affectionately beside Gongsun Xuanyuan, but this action made Ye Qingmei roll her eyes instead.
Looking at Gongsun Shu''s departure, Gongsun Xuanyuan couldn''t help but sigh and whispered to himself: "Everyone is not a good-looking lamp."
Gongsun Xuanyuan turned his head and saw that Ye Qingmei was still speechless. He couldn''t help but laugh and said, "Mei''er, do you hate Brother Shu so much?"
"Brother, Gongsun Shu is not upright and ambitious. You must be careful about this person."
Ye Qingmei could not tell Gongsun Xuanyuan that the golden sword Gongsun Shu, who was in the late Wang Mang, reigned as emperor for twelve years in Yizhou, and your clan brother is very likely to be that Gongsun Shu, so you can only use this method to indirectly attack.
"No problem. As long as my brother is still here, no one in the Liao Kingdom can make waves." Gongsun Xuanyuan said boldly.
How could Gongsun Xuanyuan''s wisdom and vision not tell that Gongsun Shu is ambitious, and he has made many small moves in private.
Just thinking about the same clan, and that he was the only person who had mastered the Gongsun family''s martial arts to a great success, except for himself, did have a good strength. In addition, Gongsun Shu was a rare fellow of the Gongsun family who supported him, so Gongsun Xuanyuan turned a blind eye to him.
Like Gongsun Zan, the identity of a concubine''s son made him awkward position in the Gongsun family. If Gongsun Zan had not appointed him to succeed the throne, Gongsun Xuanyuan might not have inherited Gongsun Zan''s position.
The Gongsun family has a large group of legitimate sons who are not optimistic about him. They dislike Gongsun Xuanyuan. Not only did they not give him support, they thought about seizing power, but Gongsun Shu was the few people standing on Gongsun Xuanyuan''s side.
It is precisely because of this that Gongsun Xuanyuan considered that although Gongsun Shu was ambitious, he had never acted in disloyalty, so he was particularly tolerant of him.
Seeing Gongsun Xuanyuan''s expression, Ye Qingmei knew that he must have not listened to it. She was not confident in the righteous brother''s way of governing his subordinates. The key is that his talent lineup really made her unable to complain.
The ambitious Gongsun Shu, the foolish lord Zhao Ji, Gao Qiu and Cai Jing and other six thieves, all gathered beside Gongsun Xuanyuan.
Although these people are very honest and all act like good ministers, Ye Qingmei can''t even find fault with them, but when he thinks about the deeds of these people in the original history, Ye Qingmei can''t feel at ease.
By the way, there are also a large number of traitors such as Wu Sangui who once gathered around Gongsun Zan, which directly led to Gongsun Zan''s death in battle.
"Why are the people of the Gongsun family so attractive to traitors?" Ye Qingmei looked puzzled.
