Fang Xuanling is actually very worried about the current situation, because the situation that Datang is in is actually very unfavorable. Du Ruhui was unwilling to come forward to persuade Du Qi, and Wei Zheng's envoy to seek peace failed, which meant that it was almost impossible for the Tang Dynasty to stop the war. In the end, it was up to Li Shimin to resist Du Qi.
However, Li Shimin's current army strength is no more than ten thousand, and it is almost impossible to stop Du Qi's nearly one hundred thousand army. Not to mention, Du Qi's troops are extremely elite and equipped with more powerful weapons.
Under this premise, if Datang does not find another way, defeat is unstoppable.
It's a pity that even the shortcut to summation cannot be taken.
Fang Xuanling was worried, thinking about countermeasures in his heart. He had to think of a strategy to break the deadlock when he returned to Anrong Pass, otherwise for Datang, the remaining days would be numbered.
In Fang Xuanling's thoughts, time passed quietly.
In a blink of an eye, the carriage had arrived at the gate of the city.
Fang Xuanling temporarily stopped the advance and waited on the spot. Fortunately, the waiting time was not long, and Zheng Yu had already come out. He boarded the carriage, but did not enter the carriage. He just sat on the shaft of the carriage and drove on the road with the groom.
The wheels were rolling, and in a short time, they had already traveled a certain distance. But when the carriage was far away from the Imperial Capital City, and arrived at a place with a bamboo forest beside the official road, Zheng Yu who was sitting on the carriage suddenly made a move, directly struck the groom driving unconscious, and then pulled the reins to stop the carriage.
The two guards who followed to protect Fang Xuanling, saw Zheng Yu's attack, and immediately wanted to protect Fang Xuanling, but Zheng Yu knocked him to the ground in two or three blows, and was also knocked unconscious by Zheng Yu.
At the same time, in the bamboo forest on the edge of the official road, several people came out to take away the person who was knocked out by Zheng Yu.
Fang Xuanling raised the curtain of the carriage and saw Zheng Yu make a move. He saw Zheng Yu had the guard and groom taken away. His eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Zheng Yu, Zheng Yu, this time when the old man returned to Datang, he did not ride a horse, but rode in a carriage. Unexpectedly, you were ambushed halfway. What do you want?"
Zheng Yu's eyes were fierce, with an expression of resentment on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fang Xuanling, thanks to you, you are still the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. You were asked to sacrifice for the Tang Dynasty, but you prevaricated confidently and refused to make a move. Since you are unwilling to make a move, Then I have to do it myself.¡±
"You stay, I will use you to fish out Du Ruhui. I don't believe it, I can't take Du Ruhui down. As long as I take down Du Ruhui, then I can facilitate the peace between Tang and Xia, and give His Majesty a chance to breathe. "
"You, Fang Xuanling, are timid in doing things. For your own benefit, you don't want to tear yourself apart with Du Ruhui. I, Zheng Yu, don't have such particularities or taboos. So I am willing to fight to the end."
Zheng Yu said: "Even if it costs my life, I will not hesitate."
Fang Xuanling shook his head, disapproving of Zheng Yu's actions. He said in a deep voice, "Zheng Yu, I tell you that what you have done is not beneficial except to exacerbate the situation. What's more, your actions like this , All the hidden piles belonging to Datang in the entire imperial capital will be trapped in a desperate situation because of your dispatch."
"This is extremely detrimental to Datang."
"At the moment, you stop your actions immediately and return to Datang with the old man. Otherwise, you will definitely implicate Datang. The old man can understand your painstaking efforts, and also understand your loyalty. But if there is no plan Actions, random shots can only end up being counterproductive."
Fang Xuanling said: "What you have done is not to help Datang, but to bring Datang into a desperate situation."
Zheng Yu sneered, and said disdainfully: "Sure enough, you are scholars, Fang Xuanling, you scholars, you always talk in the same way. Once you open your mouth, you will be on the line, and once you open your mouth, you will be in a desperate situation. It seems that only you can do it right. matter."
"I'm tired of people like you."
"All of you high-ranking princes in the imperial court are loyal to His Majesty, but no one can assist His Majesty, and no one can contain Du Qi. In the end, the situation deteriorated to this point. This is all due to your incompetence. Now, you You still have the nerve to persuade me, what you say is counterproductive, what you say seems to put Datang in a desperate situation, I'm sorry!"
He was extremely displeased with Fang Xuanling's refusal, so he made these remarks.
He doesn't spit fast.
Now that the words are finished, Zheng Yu's heart is completely at ease. At this point, he must act, even if the action fails, he will not be afraid, because as a member of Datang, he has already put life and death aside.
Fang Xuanling frowned when she heard it.Brows, the Zheng Yu in front of him is a single-minded person.
Don't listen to advice at all.
The problem is that Fang Xuanling has no way to solve this matter now.
He couldn't stop Zheng Yu.
Can't escape either.
Fang Xuanling took a deep breath, softened her tone, and said, "Zheng Yu, you have to be clear about one thing. You are loyal to Datang, but doing anything wrong may not be good for Datang. I know your starting point, but you have considered Consequences?"
Zheng Yu glanced at Fang Xuanling, and said with disdain: "Fang Xuanling, what you say is just to dissuade me. Unfortunately, I can't listen to you. Let me tell you, I have no hesitation in today's matter. I If I do it, maybe Datang still has a chance. If I don¡¯t do anything, I won¡¯t be able to help anything.¡±
"Now, I have to give it a try."
"Even if it fails, how far can the situation deteriorate? Anyway, Du Qi has refused to ask for peace now, and insists on destroying my Datang. At this time, if you don't take Du Ruhui, you will miss a good opportunity."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. You are a high-ranking prime minister with your own selfishness and considerations. Anyway, the emperor has changed, and you are still a high-ranking person. For you, simply don't do these things."
Zheng Yu said: "I am different, and we bad people who are loyal to Datang are different. All of us must fight to the end. For Datang, we are willing to give everything."
Fang Xuanling looked at Zheng Yu in front of him. This Zheng Yu was about in his early thirties, with a bronze complexion, a square face, sharp cheeks, and a pair of firm eyes.
"well¡¡"
Fang Xuanling sighed.
He asked: "Zheng Yu, what is your plan?"
Zheng Yu held his head high and said loudly: "My plan is very simple. I will directly arrange for someone to deliver a letter to Du Ruhui's mansion, tell him that you are in my hands, and ask him to use money to redeem you. As soon as Du Ruhui comes, I will take the opportunity to take it. Du Ruhui, leave the imperial capital directly. We will hurry back all the way, as long as we return to the territory of Tang Dynasty first, His Majesty will have the upper hand."
After a pause, Zheng Yu continued: "Du Ruhui is Du Qi's father, if Du Qi doesn't care about Du Ruhui's life and death, and if Du Qi loses his filial piety, how can he explain to the world? Good. Du Qi can't ignore Du Ruhui's life, so this time, I will succeed."
Fang Xuanling did not hold any hope, and said: "Your actions will definitely fail. Once you act, you will be counted."
Zheng Yu didn't want to talk too much, and said directly: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go back to the carriage."
Fang Xuanling returned directly to the carriage, and Zheng Yu drove the carriage himself, and began to drive back to the imperial capital. Because the next action must be carried out in the imperial capital. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
