Zhao Junsheng's thoughts shifted to Beyond the Great Wall, and he asked, "What's the situation over there at Chang Kun?"

Shen Hui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, General Chang led 3 troops to the northern defense line. After relying on the two towns of Huaishuo and Woye, they dealt with the Rouran people on the grassland north of Hetao. The two sides fought several times. The scale is not large, and there are mutual losses. Sima Chuzhi of Wuchuan and General Gao Xu of Dongchile began to send troops to cooperate after receiving the king's order. Rouran Wuti's army retreated to the north of Yinshan Mountain and disappeared. Our spies are track!"

This is the advantage of the nomads. The northern defense line of the Central Plains Dynasty is too long, and because the grasslands are vast and deserted, the barbarians on the Mobei grasslands can attack the Central Plains Dynasty everywhere, and quickly disappear in the desert and grassland. The Central Plains Dynasty was hard to defend against.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Junsheng said: "Draft the edict, with Sima Chuzhi as the general commander of the march and the governor of the northern military forces, he will fully preside over the battle with Rouran! Gao Xu, King Dongchile, Chang Kun, and the size of the northern Great Wall defense line Both the fortress and the garrison are subject to its restraint!"

An edict was quickly drafted, and after being reviewed and copied by Dongfang Chen, Shen Hui and others, Zhao Junsheng personally stamped it and sent it out on a fast horse.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the ministers and generals again and said, "We'd better concentrate on solving the Wei state now. When we have free hands, we'll trouble the Rouran people! Now let's talk about how to fight the Chang'an city!"

Li Ji stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I heard that the old king had a friendship with Pi Baozi. I am willing to meet Pi Baozi and persuade him to submit to me!"

Since Li Ji followed Zhao Junsheng, he has been engaged in mission-related affairs. He has gone on missions many times, and he has succeeded every time. He has never failed. stand up.

"Can it work? I heard that Leopard is not easy to deal with!"

"The leather leopard is a good fortune, I believe it should be fine, right?"

"But I heard that Leather Leopard is Emperor Taiwu's playmate and treats Tuoba Huang as his own. Now that Tuoba Huang is the emperor, he still doesn't try his best to protect Tuoba Huang's throne? How could he be persuaded to submit to our dynasty? "

"I'm worried about whether Li Ji will come back. As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, who doesn't get your shoes wet?"

"No way, going to see Leather Leopard is in danger of beheading?"

For a while, the big tent was filled with low-pitched discussions, which was very noisy.

"Ahem!" Zhao Junsheng coughed twice, and the ministers and generals stopped discussing.

Zhao Junsheng asked Li Ji: "How sure are you?"

Li Jigong said: "I have never seen the leather leopard, but I have only heard of some of his behavior. To be honest, I have no confidence. I can only play by ear after seeing the leather leopard!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a moment, and said to Li Ji: "How about this, Gu writes a letter to Pi Baozi, and you take it to him. With this letter, you shouldn't have too many problems in terms of safety. In addition, Gu will prepare some extra money for you, leather leopards like property, this is a well-known thing, although it is nothing new for us to give him money, but it is always polite and can increase your chances of winning!"

Li Ji cupped his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will fulfill my mission!"

Zhao Junsheng then said to Gao Xiu, Xue Andu and Zhang Xing: "The three generals go back to the camp and sit in command first, don't be attacked by the Wei army. If there are military affairs to be discussed, Guzi will send someone to inform you to come and attend!"

The three stood up, bowed and clasped their fists together: "The minister waits to leave!"

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Ji was ordered by Zhao Junsheng to send Pi Baozi. Since Chang'an City was separated, he had to go to Gaolu first with Gao Xiu, Zhang Xing, Xue Andu and others, and then to Xinfeng.

After arriving in Gaolu, Li Ji rested overnight in Gaoxiu's camp, and went to Xinfeng the next day with his guards and accompanying chariots and horses.

Xinfeng City.

Leather Leopard led some soldiers into an almost abandoned warehouse. The floor was covered with dust, and there was a musty smell in the air.

"Cough cough, cough cough!" Someone coughed non-stop when they smelled the musty smell.

Leather Leopard walked to a pile of worn-out ordnance, took out a rusty sword and looked at it, there was a gap on the sword, and then took a spear, the tip of the spear was blunt.

"Come here, take these weapons out and grind them so they can still be used, and these armors, find someone to sew them up, find a blacksmith to re-beat them, and then distribute them to the soldiers," Leather Leopard ordered.

"Yes!" The soldiers came forward one by one to pick up bundles of almost discarded armor.

A young general came forward to report: "General, the army sent an envoy!"

Leather Leopard waved his hand: "No, I'll cut it off! By the way, if the Qianjun continues to send envoys over in the future, you don't need to report it, just cut it off!"

Just as he was about to agree, he hesitated for a moment and said: "The other party said that he brought a letter written by Qian Wang Zhao Junsheng to present to the general!"

Leather Leopard was taken aback, he thought of Zhao Junsheng, he had not seen Zhao Junsheng for more than ten years, his impression of Zhao Junsheng was still in the time when Zhao Junsheng and Daosheng Baba came to Chang'an to lobby him to be loyal to Tuobajian.

After all, there is some friendship, and Zhao Junsheng's personal letter is not a handful, so he had to go to see the envoy, so he said: "I will go to see the envoy! By the way, what is the name of the envoy?"

"I heard it's called Li Ji!"

Pi Baozi was stunned: "Oh? It's him? I didn't expect this general to have such a big face. This Li Ji is Zhao Junsheng's confidant, and every important mission is carried out by him himself."

Soon, when Pi Baozi returned to the county government office, he saw a middle-aged scribe sitting kneeling in the lobby, there were several attendants outside the door, and several large boxes were placed under his feet. The person kneeling must be Li Ji, right?

Li Ji saw a general coming in with his sword in hand, Li Ji got up and bowed to the ground: "The envoy of the Qian Kingdom, Li Ji, has seen General Pi!"

Pi Baozi looked at Li Ji while walking, and waited for him to kneel behind the desk before asking, "Are you Li Ji?"

"Yes!"

"Why did you come to see this general?"

Li Jidao: "At the order of my king, I will send to the general a letter from my king to the general and a gift from my king to the general!"

Leather Leopard didn't talk nonsense: "Where is the letter? Where is the gift?"

"Come here, bring in the gift that the king gave to General Pi!"

Several attendants came in carrying several large boxes and put them down side by side, and then retreated one by one.

Li Ji stepped forward and opened the boxes one by one. There were three boxes of gold cakes and one box of jewelry and jade.

Li Ji waited for a while, observed Leather Leopard's expression, saw that he was a little obsessed, immediately took out the letter and presented it with both hands, "This is a letter from my king to the general!"

A soldier next to him stepped forward to take the letter and handed it to Leather Leopard.

Pi Baozi took the letter and opened it to read it. He read it quickly. In the letter, Zhao Junsheng first had a reminiscence with him, and then turned to the main topic. He Pi Baozi didn't want to admit it, but this was an irreversible situation. Even the Rouran people and the Nanchao side could not save Wei Guo.If Chang'an and Pi Baozi tried to defend the city and delay time, it would be a big mistake. Even if the whole of Henan was captured by the Southern Dynasty, even if the Rouran people killed him into the pass, he, Zhao Junsheng, would have to destroy Wei first. If the country goes to deal with the Rouran people and the Southern Dynasty, anyone will want to let the Wei country survive!

In the end, Zhao Junsheng hoped that Pi Baozi could recognize the current situation and make the right choice. The door to his country would be open to Pi Baozi at any time, and he said that if Pi Baozi still insisted on his views, he would understand and would not blame him, but When the two armies are at war, he will never be polite.

Pi Baozi was silent for a long time after reading the letter. He saw Zhao Junsheng's determination from the lines in the letter. Zhao Junsheng would not care about the invasion of Rouran and the Southern Dynasty.It means that Wei Guo has no hope.

Chapter 727

Li Ji is a person who observes words and looks, and he cupped his hands and said: "General, my king must have made it very clear in the letter. If the general is concerned about the safety of his wife and children in Chang'an City, I can help hide the general's wife and children first." , wait until the city of Chang'an is broken, and then let the general reunite with his wife and children!"

Leather Leopard was silent for a long time without talking about his wife and children. He said, "If Chang'an City is breached, how do you plan to treat the emperor?"

Li Ji thought for a while and cupped his hands and said: "General, this matter is not up to me to decide. Besides, it is too early to talk about breaking Chang'an City, but I think the general should understand that if the general wants to save the emperor, it is best to surrender to me." It is a wise choice, because if the general submits to me, with the status of the general and the old friendship with my king, if he asks my king to guarantee Tuoba Huang, I believe that my king should give the general this face!"

Pi Baozi was a little shaken in his heart. He knew very well that if Zhao Junsheng was determined, Chang'an City would probably not be able to defend it. What will happen if the city is destroyed?He couldn't imagine that he didn't care about the life and death of other people, he only cared about the safety of his wife, children and the emperor, as long as the safety of these people was guaranteed, he didn't care what happened.

After thinking for a moment, Pi Baozi clasped his fists at Li Ji: "How about please stay in the city for two days, and I will give you an answer after I think about it?"

Li Ji nodded: "Okay, the general doesn't need to rush to make a decision, but my time is limited, and the general's time is not unlimited. If I don't return to my king within three days, my king will understand the general's intentions." Already!"

"I will understand, so I will ask you to stay in the post for two days. If you need it, you can ask the manager of the post. They will try their best to satisfy you!"
