"As long as the prince of your dynasty agrees to our conditions, he will advocate defending Shanxi at that time, and his money, grain and military resources will be passed by him, and the greatest contribution will be his. Tang Shuai, you are just a general along the way, and your prestige will never surpass your elder brother... and even more said that with King Jing'an outside and the Seventh Prince supporting him, Tang Shuai, you will have no chance of being the throne."

Tang Jie frowned and said, "When is it? You are still provoking me and my elder brother."

"If Emperor Rui had not agreed to jointly defend Shanxi, why should we do this?"

"Since that's the case, why are you talking to me?"

Xiao Chaihe said: "One, in order to prevent the prince of the dynasty from agreeing. Second, King Jing'an had a personal relationship with Tang Shuai, and he believed Tang Shuai even more."

"snort."

"The best way for Tang Shuai is to form an alliance with King Jing'an, promising that even if Emperor Rui issued an edict, he would never retreat. In the name of the Marshal of the Eastern Expedition, he ordered the Rui army to release Taihang Pass and let the Chu army enter Shanxi defense... As long as Tang Shuai agreed before Brother Ling, the prince was willing to provide all military supplies and help Tang Shuai ascend the throne in the future..."

"You are asking me to rebel."

"Please make a decision as soon as possible."

"Get out of here! As long as my elder brother and I don't agree, we will withdraw from Shanxi and let Wang Xiao play with Jianlu himself!"

Xiao Chaihe said: "Yes, I will go back to Jinan and reply to King Jing'an, but Tang Shuai will not agree..."

He solemnly bowed his hand and turned around and left the meeting hall.

When I walked to the door, I looked at the world in Datong, with a vast sky and a vast land...

"Slow down! Who told you to leave? I'm still thinking." Tang Jie cursed.

...

The way to consider Tang Dynasty is simple.

He found a camp prostitute in Datong City...

He didn't pick it carefully, so he just pointed at it and chose one. This woman was not pretty, with her eyebrows drooping and her face looked a little sad.

"The official is so strong... I have so many scars on my body, so I am a general."

After the matter was done, the woman pressed her face against Tang Jie's chest and murmured.

Tang Jieben didn't want to chat, but he thought this woman liked to tell the truth and looked better.

He closed his eyes and recalled the years, and felt that the battle he fought with Hauge for the first time two years ago was the most enjoyable.

Without so many considerations, just ride a horse and rush forward... and you won.

In the past two years, I became more and more cowardly...

"Do you have any worries?" the woman asked again.

"I heard from your accent, are you from Datong Mansion?"

"Yes, from Huairen County, my family used to sell stews. Has the general ever eaten stews? Put the kneaded noodles into the wooden bed and press them out, put them on toppings and braised..."

Tang Jie suddenly thought that when he was very young, Tang Feng went to the noodle stall to eat noodles with Tang Zhongyuan. After eating noodles, the father and son turned around and ran away. Later, someone was caught and beaten.

Tang Zhongyuan was very difficult to beat at that time, but he didn't fight back. He held the two children in his arms and let the rolling pin hit the back...

Thinking of this, Tang Jie stood up, put on his clothes, and threw down his silver at will.

The woman rushed to put clothes on him. Tang Jie looked at her waist and asked, "Have you ever given birth to a child?"

"No...no..."

Tang Jie frowned. He didn't like people who lie, and didn't have to help him put on clothes, so he turned around and went out.

As for what he was thinking about in his mind, he had already made up his mind.

When he walked outside, he suddenly heard several of his personal guards whispering something...

"You don't check it out first..."

"Your Highness never chooses, who knows this woman is like this..."

When Tang Jie came out, he first ordered: "Go and drive away the Chai person."

"yes."

"What were you just talking about?"

"Report to your highness, I will check it out... that woman... that woman... ten years ago, Jiannu entered the border, broke into Xuanfu, Datong Zhucheng, and plundered many people... that woman was also among them, and she escaped... Later... Later... she gave birth to a son... she was strangled to death by her own hands... She couldn't stay in Huaihua, so she came to Datong to be a camp prostitute..."

Tang Jie was silent for a while, but said nothing, and walked straight forward.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

"Let Xiao Chaihe come to see me..."

~~

Xiao Chaihe returned to the meeting hall again.

"Shisam Tang won't think about it for two more days?"

"There is nothing to consider, I agree to your conditions." Tang Jie replied.

This time he asked someone to bring in a chair and sat there with a big golden sword.

"Okay, please sign a document by Tang Shuai, allowing the Chu army to enter Shanxi, settle in Zhuchengchi, and defend the city with Rui army."

"OK."

"I will go back as soon as possible to report this matter to King Jing'an. He will send troops and military supplies to Taiyuan immediately..."

"OK."

"By the way, King Jing'an also has a secret letter to Tang Shuai, which is about the strategic arrangement of Shanxi, including our confidential military information. Therefore, King Jing'an asked me to take it out after Tang Shuai agreed..."

"I've searched you, where is the letter?"

"Please wait for another half a day."

Tang Jie was dissatisfied and said, "When is this time? What are you waiting for?"

Xiao Chaihe was a little embarrassed.

"Wait...wait...I'll get the letter...Yeah..."

...

That was a wax ball.

Tang Jie frowned again when he looked at the wax ball.

Xiao Chaihe also had a headache. He crushed the wax ball in front of Tang Jie and took out a letter.

Tang Jie pinched the letter with two fingers, spread it open, and first asked: "What kind of paper is this? It's so thin and so sewn?"

"This is not paper, it is silk woven by fine silk."

Tang Jie nodded casually, but saw that the handwriting on it was small and there were some pictures. This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a small word...

He looked at it for a while and subconsciously put the silk in his arms.

"Ship Tang, should I burn it?"

"I can't carry it down, but I'll keep you at ease." Tang Jie tapped his fingers on his armor, thought for a while, and said, "You really can't find out the news about the capital?"

"I can't find it." Xiao Chaihe asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Wang Xiao asked me to abandon Datong as soon as possible. He was worried that Dorgon would send troops from Feihu's mouth and cut off my retreat..."

Xiao Chaihe then understood the seriousness of this problem.

Only then did he know why King Jing'an was so angry when he learned that Su Jian assassinated Wang Huachen...
