Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

"What? What right do the Qi people have to say that I am going to break the contract?"

Early in the morning, in the Hongnong City Lord's Mansion, when Li Tai heard the subordinates' reports of the Qi envoys' accusations, he immediately glared and said angrily, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Could it be that someone among the Qi envoys has awakened the system and can eavesdrop on my thoughts?

But even if you know that I have such a plan, after all, I haven't done it yet. How dare you slander me casually, don't force me to lose my temper! I just want to ask you, do you know when I plan to turn against you? I will kill you in one day or one hour!

"The Qi envoys came to report that the troops they sent to Huainan to meet the returning army were attacked and killed, because they said that our country broke the contract..."

The official saw that the King of Tang was still a little confused about the situation, so he explained again.

"Qi's army was attacked in Huainan? When did it happen?"

Li Tai was also a little confused after hearing this. He certainly did not arrange such an action in Huainan. After all, Huainan was not the core interest of this negotiation, and the demands of Huainan were basically met, so there was no need to make trouble.

Because it was a situation that he was not clear about, Li Tai could not just listen to the one-sided words of the Qi envoy, so he first sent someone to appease the Qi envoy, and then hurriedly summoned relevant personnel to inquire about the specific situation.

It's just that the Northern Qi side was directly fed back by the attacked and retreated divisions and brigades, and the news channels of the Western Wei side still needed to be collected and confirmed through Liyang, and only after some twists and turns would they report to the country.

So it was not until the afternoon of the next day that the relevant information was sent to Hongnong, and Li Tai also had a preliminary understanding of the specific course of events. When he saw that the Chen army attacked the two armies of the Qi army and advanced to Guangling City, an idea immediately emerged in his mind, that is, to grab the credit.

It may be that the Southern Chen side was worried that the Western Wei might not return Guangling and other Huainan counties to them, so they took advantage of the Qi army's slackness and took the initiative to occupy Guangling.

However, in his impression, Chen Baxian did not seem to be such a short-term person. Even if the Chen army occupied Guangling this time, it also destroyed the atmosphere of alliance with the Western Wei, and it would be difficult to get more rewards. Guangling alone was not enough to support the Southern Chen to carry out any major strategic layout. On the contrary, in order to defend this city, it would continue to consume the manpower and material resources of the Southern Chen.

What Liyang sent was only a preliminary outline of the situation, and the inside story was not analyzed too deeply. However, as the news came further, the context of the matter was outlined more and more clearly.

Li Tai sorted out these clues and soon noticed something unusual, that is, the division of the Northern Qi that went south to support was much earlier than the previously agreed date.

Before the troops of the Western Wei were in place, they had already approached Guangling City first, and were attacked by the Southern Chen army. Generally speaking, the Western Wei was not responsible for this matter. It was mainly because the Southern Chen acted on its own, and the Qi army went south ahead of time, and the Wei army was not there at all. Not to mention the Southern Chen army attacking the Qi army, even if they got together to plot and ambush the Wei army...

Thinking of this, Li Tai's heart suddenly shuddered. Yes, why did the Qi army go south ahead of time? Obviously, both parties had agreed on the time of handover. If the decision was implemented, the Wei army would not be present for the handover, and the Qi army would have to wait no matter how early they went. Are they so impatient?

Following this line of thought, Li Tai immediately smelled a bit of conspiracy. He did not directly suspect that the Northern Qi and the Southern Chen had colluded and conspired to give the Western Wei a ruthless blow. After all, this level of cooperation requires a high degree of tacit understanding and trust between each other, and it is difficult to reach cooperation in a hurry.

At most, the two sides may have some consensus and tacit understanding. The Qi army may want to withdraw the troops and forces in Huainan as soon as possible and invest them in the defense of the country and the current battlefield, while the Southern Chen is worried that the Western Wei may not give them too many benefits, so they want to get them first.

So they bypassed the Western Wei and made some small moves, but they didn't know why they accidentally fired their guns and really fought, so such a change happened!

After thinking about this, Li Tai was already confident in his heart. He directly asked people to go to the other hall to take all the Qi envoys to the city lord's mansion. He was dressed in military uniform and stood in the hall with his hand on his sword waiting.

When the Qi envoys were led into the hall, Li Tai glared and shouted before they could speak: "You Qi thieves are really vicious! I was benevolent and righteous before, and I didn't want to hurt the people of Hebei. I was willing to stop the war and negotiate peace under the good situation, but I didn't expect your country to pretend to seek peace and delay, but in fact you were plotting a conspiracy to retaliate against our country!" "Why did the king say that? What conspiracy did our country have?" After hearing this, the Qi envoys were surprised and asked hurriedly. Since they knew that the Huainan division was attacked and defeated yesterday, they repeatedly wanted to meet and question, but they were never summoned. Today, they were detained again. After meeting, they were threatened by the King of Tang, and they were deeply dissatisfied. But because they didn't know what the situation was, they could only hold back for a while. Li Tai was arguing for three points even if it was unreasonable, not to mention that it was reasonable now. Although this reason was just made up by his brain due to the orgasm in his brain, it was still made up by his brain.

"You don't have to act innocent. If there was no solid evidence, how could I summon you to the mansion to question you face to face!"

He walked back to his case with a gloomy face, grabbed the information sent by Liyang, raised his hand and threw it directly on Gao Rui, Prince of Zhao County, and then said angrily: "What is said in this is Feng Zi, the governor of Xuzhou in the east of the country. The painting institute led the army to the south and was attacked, don't you deny this? "

Gao Rui and others nodded after hearing this, and even though they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, this was what we wanted to talk about when we asked to see you before, but you kept refusing to see us, but now you come to ask in an aggressive manner, could it be that our people have suffered? Is there anything wrong?

In Li Tai's logic, these Qi troops who were attacked were certainly at fault. Seeing the Qi envoys nodding in recognition, he immediately sneered and said: "In that case, I can't help but ask, what if Feng Zihui and others are going south?" Why? Is it to fulfill the agreement, go south to support the return of your country’s soldiers and hand over the Huainan city, or is it for another purpose?”

"Of course, of course it is for the handover of Huainan City. This is a mutual oath..."

Hearing the tone of Li Tai's questioning becoming more intense, Gao Rui and others were even more confused. How could this person question a matter that was taken for granted so confidently?

"Since it is for the delivery of the Huainan city, I remember that the delivery was not until the end of this month. Now that new arrivals have arrived in the middle of the month, our Huainan division and brigade are still scattered in various directions and have not yet been assembled. Your army is eager to go south. Who do you want to fight with? Delivery?”

Li Tai leaned forward, holding the desk with his hand, and glared at the envoys of Qi State present, his momentum became even more majestic.

Gao Rui also understood Li Tai's thoughts at this time, and immediately said: "The Huainan division has been besieged by the Chen people for a long time and is exhausted. Therefore, Feng Shijun went south early to provide relief and wait for your people." It is also a courtesy to make a proper handover after the horses have been assembled. Why did the King of Tang question me so deeply when our division was attacked in Huainan..."

"The terms of the agreement are all there, clearly visible in black and white. It is the greatest etiquette for everyone to abide by the agreement! Now that you are returning home in a hurry, are you trying to gather people from all directions to snipe my resting division and brigade in the border? If this matter cannot be explained, Qing, there is no need to talk about subsequent peace talks! If you break your promise like this, any promise you make will be nothing more than a piece of paper!"

Although he suspected that Northern Qi and Nan Chen were secretly collaborating, Li Tai certainly could not question him in front of the Qi envoy. After all, Nan Chen was still an ally of the Western Wei openly. If he really asked this, wouldn't it mean that Slapping myself in the face.

When everyone saw Li Tai being so furious, they were a little dumbfounded for a moment. How could they have a good conversation and suddenly stop talking? What's more, it seems that we were the ones who were attacked in Huainan and almost all our troops were wiped out, right? Why do you, a powerful official in the Western Wei Dynasty, act more indignant than us?

In a communication and interaction relationship, only one party is destined to be excited and indignant, while the other party needs to maintain restraint. If both parties are indignant and difficult to control, then they will just start fighting, and effective communication will not be achieved.

Now Li Tai is already looking furious. If the Qi envoys continue to hold them accountable, then the peace talks will naturally come to an end.

Therefore, the envoys of Qi suddenly became considerate again and repeatedly stated that they and others did not know the personnel arrangements of the country. After they understood it clearly, they would definitely come back to give a satisfactory explanation to the King of Tang.

But Li Tai couldn't deal with it like this. Taking advantage of this momentum, he issued two more regulations to the Qi envoys. The first was that from this day on, no Northern Qi figures were allowed to pass through the river bridge or other places without the permission of the Western Wei Dynasty. The passage enters the Heluo area.

Secondly, within this month, if there are any Qi armed forces staying between Heluo and Luo, they will no longer be protected by the contract between the two parties, and the Wei army will launch attacks indiscriminately!
