"My dear, something has changed!" Xia Qingqing went to Li Xian who was in a meeting with a heavy face. Li Xian was talking with Xu Ren and others.
"What's wrong, Qingqing?" It was the first time that Li Xian saw Xia Qingqing look so serious. Li Xian still valued his "virtuous wife" very much. Not to mention that she could enter the hall under the kitchen and govern a place.
The matter that could make Xia Qingqing like this must be very serious.
Seeing that everyone present was the core of Anyang, Xia Qingqing did not shy away from the topic. "My eldest brother just said that when my grandfather launched the coup, Zhang Quan, who had defected to my grandfather, killed Yuan Cai, and he stabbed him in the back."
"What!" Li Xian was stunned. Not only did he kill someone, but he also stabbed him in the back. This was a really bad thing.
The problem was not only that killing people angered Yuan Zhao, but also that at this moment, Li Xian was promoting the joint efforts of Anyang, Tang State (Li Yulong) and Xiao State (Xiao Liming) to wipe out Cai State in one fell swoop. At this time, if Yuan Zhao exploded and Xiao State (Xiao Liming) could not send troops, the whole plan would collapse!
Three and a half years ago, the Great Xia Kingdom had an opportunity to destroy the Cai Kingdom, but it was ruined by Xia Xu.
Is this opportunity going to slip away again? It seems to be related to Xia Xu. Xia Xu said that he felt very wronged. I am also a victim in this matter.
Is Yuan Zhao capable of holding back the Xiao Kingdom? Needless to say, yes!
Although Yuan Zhao is now living a life of worrying about food with the Second Prince Xia Shu, it means that Yuan Zhao has not given in. If Yuan Zhao gives up the Second Prince and directly turns to join Gao Bin of Songzhou County, he will definitely be able to create a big storm. Not to mention defeating the Xiao State, but he will definitely be able to hold back the Xiao State from launching a northern expedition.
Among Li Xian's four good brothers, Shangguan Yong is good at pretending to be stupid and good at disguising himself, but he is definitely a man of great wisdom, especially in military talent; Yuan Zhao is the smartest and has a lot of evil intentions; Zhang Quan seems to be good at calculating, but he is a man who is obsessed with money.
Zhang Quan is capable of doing business, making money, and engaging in some conspiracies, but when it comes to political talent and long-term vision, Yuan Zhao and Shangguan Yong are far better than Zhang Quan.
Of the four brothers of Li Xian, only Zhang Quan was the most ostentatious. He was fooled by Yuan Zhao and Shangguan Yong and pushed to the front to become the first to stand out. The same was true of Li Xian.
Now, Zhang Quan actually stabbed Yuan Cai in the back, which was a worrying political wisdom. But there was a question, didn't Xiao Liming and Ji Yunya, two powerful people, think of this
Xu Ren gave an analysis: "Yuan Cai is completely loyal to the eldest prince and controls most of the military power in his hands, so Yuan Cai must be killed. Moreover, the Xiao Kingdom at that time was not prepared for the Northern Expedition and was confident that it could stop the counterattack of the Yuan family. Another point is that perhaps the people of the Xiao Kingdom did not have high hopes for Yuan Zhao's ability."
Li Xian seemed to be thinking about something, but he finally sighed, "It's too late to say anything. The situation is complicated now. Let's think about it. How can we avoid the destruction of this Northern Expedition?"
"Maybe it can be done this way." Li Yuanming said, "How about we invite Yuan Zhao to Anyang as a guest? First, the eldest prince has already come to Anyang, so it's not a bad idea for us to invite the second prince to come and reminisce about the past. Second, the young master hasn't seen Yuan Zhao for a long time, but the young master can't leave, so he can only bring Yuan Zhao to Anyang to play for a few days. Third, the young master can use the excuse of 'discussing the development and relationship between Anyang and the Yuan family in Dongyuan County' to invite Yuan Zhao to come. I believe that Yuan Zhao must be very worried about the development of the Yuan family now. With these three reasons, it is enough to make Yuan Zhao come. When Yuan Zhao comes, we will keep Yuan Zhao in Anyang until the war in Cai State is over. At most, we can give Yuan Zhao some compensation afterwards, and provide Yuan Zhao with wealth and support for revenge. Yuan Zhao now has nothing in his hands, and he has no place to use his talents; as long as we can provide basic support and support Yuan Zhao to gain a foothold in Wuyang County, Yuan Zhao will definitely be grateful. In this way, we can also plant a nail in the south of Xiao State."
