"Wei Qing, please get up. In the past 60 years, you are the first warrior in the Qiang Kingdom to win 100 consecutive victories in the martial arts arena, according to the previous practice, I will specially award you the title of 'Peerless Warrior', and give you another 'Peerless Gold Medal'. Crowned you as the 'Peerless Zhonglang General', and serve by my side. Emperor Zhao Yun canonized Wei Dong and crowned him with an official position in front of the Manchu civil and military forces.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Wei Dong knelt down again to pay respects.

"Alright, excuse me. Emperor Zhao Yun asked Wei Dong to get up, and then asked again, "I heard that Aiqing studied the book of war in his early years, I want to ask you: Now that the general of the border pass is Hu Yanlie, he has surrendered to the border pass and Di Guo, what is the best solution for Wei Qing?"

When Wei Dong heard this, he was stunned, "How did he learn about the book of soldiers in his early years?" 'Your Majesty has sent someone to spy on me. Again, this is a very close probe. ’

Pretending to think, just for a while, he bowed to the emperor with confidence, "Back to Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, there are quite a lot of people and horses in the pass over there, and they are all veterans of a hundred battles, and they are well-equipped. At this time, if you send troops to attack, then Di will definitely send troops to help, and it is extremely difficult to recover the border passes, and it will also make our Daqiang country work and lose money and be passive. ”

Wei Dong paused for a moment, and then spoke again: "The minister has three strategies to plan slowly: first, the minister repairs a letter and sends someone to send Wei Wuji, the border general of the Jin and Di countries. General Wei also defected to Cheng and went to Di State, and he was definitely dissatisfied with Nahu Yanlie's struggle with him. The two cities are not too far apart, and we just need to encircle Wei Wuji and keep him in the middle of the road. Second, send envoys to secretly go north to Di Kingdom, bribe the ministers and spread rumors. Let everyone in the Di Kingdom know that Hu Yanlie is a wolf with ambition, wanting to seek the land of the Di Kingdom and proclaim himself king. Third, our Daqiang State will build another military city not far from the border pass guarded by Huyanlie, on the one hand, to prevent Huyanlie's attack, and on the other hand, to suppress him. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Zhao Yun and the ministers all looked at each other, they really couldn't imagine that a brave man in Weidong District would be so scheming, and after a long time, the emperor came back to his senses and praised him, "Okay, good, it's just Aiqing, how long will it take for this to work?"

"Half a year at most, two or three months at the least, then Hu Yanlie is not a problem!" Wei Dong looked up with an affirmative tone.

In the main hall, after Wei Dong answered Emperor Zhao Yun's question, he was announced to the palace after a short time. When I returned to the waiting area, I was told by the officer on duty that I would come to the palace to be on duty the day after tomorrow, and I would be sent to the 'Yakeju Inn' in a while as soon as I had military uniforms and weapons.

Ma Yunlu pulled Wei Dong to ask about the affairs in the palace, Wei Dong smiled slightly, pretended to answer mysteriously, and went back to talk about it.

Wei Dong and Ma Yunlu returned to the small building of the inn, it was already lunchtime, and Master Ma and the Jiang brothers were chatting with the owner of the inn. Seeing that Wei Dong was back, the innkeeper immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Master Wei, I have set up the banquet and will wait for you to come back." ”

The boss didn't call Wei Dong a warrior, but called Wei Dong a son with a group of people like Master Ma, obviously trying to get closer. Wei Dong was very clear, but he also accepted it generously and calmly, and was not rigid.

During the banquet, everyone pushed their cups and changed their glasses, all congratulating Wei Dongjia on his entry into the knighthood, especially Master Ma, who was even more excited.

When everyone was full of wine and food, and removed the round tabletop, Master Ma personally made a pot of the best Mao Feng, and everyone gathered around, talking loudly from all over the world, talking about the wonderful points, and even more spitting flew straight away, attracting Ma Yunlu and the maid to dodge frequently, and finally the second daughter simply went upstairs to rest. I'm scared of them. ’

Everyone was chatting, and suddenly a junior colonel came, called out Jiang Tao, and whispered a few words softly.

Then, Jiang Tao entered the house and said to everyone: "Well, Dongzi, you and our brothers have a walk, and someone wants to see us." ”

The people sitting were all human spirits, and they didn't ask. The innkeeper turned around and left under the pretext that he was busy with business, and Master Ma patted Wei Dong on the shoulder and went upstairs to rest.

"Who wants to see me?" Wei Dong and the others left, and then asked Jiang Tao in a low voice.

"Your Majesty. ”

The three of them walked out of the inn quickly, turned on their horses, and galloped towards the palace.

In the early summer evening, when the sky was dark, the large clouds in the west were already shining as if they were burning. Burning clouds - this is one of the great beauties of the capital.

The three of them entered a palace and saw Emperor Zhao Yun sitting in front of him, and hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow to him.

"Get up. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"Today, it's late, so let's each have a bowl of noodles to fill our hunger. After Emperor Zhao Yun finished speaking, he commanded the eunuchs beside him again.

After a short time, the two little eunuchs in the palace brought out four bowls of noodles, one bowl was directly served to Emperor Zhao Yun, and three bowls were served to the three people below.

After the four of them finished eating the noodles, Emperor Zhao Yun reached out and took a piece of cotton handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth, and asked casually: "Wei Aiqing, don't you seem to have said all the three strategies you talked about in the morning? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, if Weichen's three strategies are successful, it will make his internal military unstable and his external isolation and helplessness. As for how to attack and reduce the casualties of our troops, Weichen still has two strategies. Wei Dong got up and bent down.

"Oh, Aiqing said quickly. When Emperor Zhao Yun heard this, he immediately became interested.

"First, it is possible to send people to secretly enter the interior, divide the generals, make them mutiny, and then take the opportunity to arrest Hu Yanlie. I think that the generals here are all His Majesty's courtiers, and not everyone is loyal to Na Yanlie. Second, it's even simpler, we only need to send a master into the city to behead it, as long as we assassinate Hu Yanlie, the dragons in this city will be leaderless, and they will be in chaos. Wei Dong said the strategy in his heart steadily.

"Good, good strategy. Emperor Zhao Yun stood up abruptly and bent down at Wei Dong, "I thank you here for those generals, General Wei." ”

As soon as Wei Dong saw it, he immediately ran out and looked at Emperor Zhao Yun, "Your Majesty is like this, your true body has tormented Wei Dong." ”

"Okay, okay! Aiqing really doesn't hide it, I have sent people to the Barbarian Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom to investigate you, are you really the Wei Dong of the Jin Kingdom?" Emperor Zhao Yun said tentatively.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen Mingren doesn't do dark things, it is Wei Dong of the Jin Kingdom, and Wei Wuji is Weichen's own uncle, I think I haven't seen him for more than ten years. Wei Dong simply stood and answered the emperor's question in a dignified manner.

"Oh, then can you contact that Wei Wuji to take refuge in my Qiang Kingdom?" Emperor Zhao Yun once again tested Wei Dong.

"It's hard to say this now, but I can fix a book, or go there myself and help Your Majesty be a lobbyist. ”

"Then there is Lao Aiqing. ”

"This is the duty of a minister. ”

After talking about these topics, Emperor Zhao Yun asked about some of Wei Dong's encounters and experiences in the Jin Kingdom and the Barbarian Kingdom. Wei Dong didn't hide the experiences that should be said, and they all recounted them on the spot, and didn't mention anything about those experiences that shouldn't be said.

After listening to these experiences, Emperor Zhao Yun and the Jiang brothers were embarrassed, lamenting that Wei Dong was not very old, but the encounter was too twists and turns.

The four of them talked quite speculatively, and they really hated to see each other too late. It was late at night in a blink of an eye, and Emperor Zhao Yun was tired from a day's work and yawned again and again. When Jiang Tao saw it, he hurriedly asked Zhao Yun to rest and take care of the dragon's body. Wei Dong and Na Jiangqing also got up in time and asked to retreat.

Emperor Zhao Yun, looking at Wei Dong, seemed to have something to say, but because of the presence of the Jiang brothers, it was difficult to ask, so he had to let them retreat first. When parting, he also told Wei Dong to be on duty the day after tomorrow and not to be late. Wei Dong reflexively thanked him again.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when Wei Dong is on duty. The night continued to cover the earth, and Wei Dong rode a high-headed horse neatly and greeted the bright moonlight, and came to the palace to take a turn.

Wei Dong led the guards, patrolling the palace, and secretly shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart, "That day in the palace of the barbarian country, I stole the map and fought with those guards, but when I came to the Qiang country, I made a big turn, but I came to guard the palace. That's a bit of a difference. ’

There was nothing to do all day, and those who trespassed on the forbidden place of the palace were still very few after all. In the evening, when Wei Dong was about to be laid off and return to the inn, a eunuch came to deliver an order: let Wei Dong go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to see the driver.

Wei Dong had no choice but to wear armor and follow the father-in-law to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace, waiting for the summons. Just waited for a while, and Wei Dong was summoned by the emperor to enter.

Coming to the hall, Wei Dong knelt down to pay respects, "Weichen Wei Dong, see Your Majesty." ”

"Come on, get up. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Zhao Yun was reviewing the recital, Wei Dong stood aside with his hands tied, and after a long while, Emperor Zhao Yun spoke: "Every year we have to pay tribute, the amount is getting bigger and bigger, it seems that we are going to start a war again, otherwise the number of slaves is not enough!"

Wei Dong suddenly heard the emperor's words, and unconsciously looked up at the emperor Zhao Yun: I saw him, his brows were furrowed at this time, and his right hand holding the red pen was trembling.

Wei Dong knew what His Majesty the Emperor meant by tribute, he had heard that the source was Li Yun'er and Sima Bin at that time, and it was then that he knew the true face of the gods.

Seeing that Wei Dong didn't speak, Zhao Yun put down his pen and looked up at Wei Dong, "Didn't the Jin Kingdom also have to pay tribute before? ”

Wei Dong had to bow his head and explain: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Weichen was still too young at that time, and he really didn't know about it. ”

"Hmph, okay, are you Wei Dong still pretending to be stupid? On that day, Li Yun'er, the princess of the Jin Kingdom, married Sima Bin of the Sima family, which attracted heavenly punishment, and the Li family was wiped out on that day. You were in the palace at the time, and you saw the gods who came into the world. You called Li Yun'er 'aunt', and later went with Sima Bin to snatch Li Yun'er's body, don't you hate those so-called gods?"

After Wei Dong listened, those unbearable past events were as vivid as he remembered, he was like being struck by lightning, trembling uncontrollably, and said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, do you want to talk to Wei Dong about this god?"

Emperor Zhao Yun, staring at Wei Dong, suddenly stood up from his chair and said in a dumb voice with clenched fists: "Exactly!

"Okay, then please Your Majesty, send off the men on duty to fifty zhang away, and I, Wei Dong, will talk to you from the bottom of my heart!"
