After Xia Gui officially returned to the position of the Sixth Prince, the entire Tuwu Fort was full of new vitality.

After the 8,000 Jairian troops settled in the Tuwu Fort, the soldiers began to practice in an orderly manner, as if no one wanted to be left behind.

Xia Gui stood at the top of the Earth Fog Castle, looking at the soldiers and generals under the mountain, with a look of joy in his eyes.

"Your Highness. Deng Yue stepped forward and hugged his fists.

"Uncle Deng Yue. Xia Gui smiled and returned the favor.

"Yesterday, it seems that there is still something to say, right?" Deng Yue said.

Xia Gui smiled slightly, this veteran is really his father's henchman, he is thoughtful and has a generous personality, which is indeed very reassuring.

"Yes, Ye Zheng has just arrived after all, and I don't know him well enough. For the state affairs of the Southern Wilderness Country, it is better to avoid talking about it. Xia Guidao.

Deng Yue thought for a while, "If you feel that this person is inconvenient, your subordinates will find a way to send him away." ”

Xia Gui said: "That's not necessary. Now is the time when there is a shortage of talents, his two thousand eagles strike army is quite brave, and he himself is also a malleable talent. ”

Deng Yue said: "According to the performance of his subordinates during this period of time with him, although this person is straightforward, he has a clear distinction between good and evil, and is quite righteous, but he is a friend who has to be made." ”

"What nationality is he from?" Xia Gui asked.

Deng Yue said: "He only said that he has been a bandit since he was a child, robbing the rich and helping the poor everywhere, robbing homes and houses, but he is a bit like a ranger." Listening to his accent, he looks like a businessman. ”

"Yin Shang......" Xia Gui narrowed his eyes slightly.

This rather bold Ye Zao brother, when he saw him for the first time, he unceremoniously wanted to give himself a dismount.

However, on the contrary, it contributed to his prestige before the Fourth Army, which can be regarded as a favor from him.

Wait for a longer time together, if he is indeed not disgusting, then Xia Gui will also consider letting him get in touch with some state affairs in the Southern Wilderness.

Until then, it's better to avoid him as much as possible.

"When I look at it for a while, if this person really has no second thoughts, then treat him as a brother. Xia Guidao.

Deng Yue nodded, His Highness was very thoughtful. If it were him, I'm afraid he would have done the same.

"Uncle Deng Yue, has the eldest brother been here?" Xia Gui asked.

Deng Yue hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The eldest prince doesn't seem to know that our troops are stationed in Xihe, and he has not been here. However, he went to the Southern Wilderness Country for a turn, and by the way, he cleaned up a few remnants of hostile forces around him. ”

"The eldest brother has always practiced penance in Moxi, and rarely asks about the state affairs of the Southern Wilderness, which is difficult for him. Xia Gui smiled bitterly.

His eldest brother is not his biological eldest brother.

In short, not only not the same mother, but not the father.

It is said that before his father succeeded to the throne, he also had an elder brother, and the throne of the king of the Southern Wilderness Country should have been passed to this uncle, but unfortunately he died young, leaving behind a young son and a widowed wife, who died of illness.

The eldest prince was young at that time, and the throne of the Southern Wilderness was naturally handed over to his young and vigorous father.

However, his father has always been very good to the eldest prince and regarded him as his own, so he still retained his title of the eldest prince, and everyone in the Southern Wilderness also respected him.

It's a pity that this eldest prince was favored by the masters from Moxi at a young age, and received Moxi as an apprentice, and at a young age, he has established a force in Moxi.

Deng Yue said again: "Your Highness, although the eldest prince did not come, Xiqi came. ”

"Xiqi?" Xia Gui's eyes lit up slightly.

Xiqi, Xibohou.

This is a country that is more powerful than the ghost country, and the strength is even stronger.

Xibohou, Ghost Marquis, and Ehou, this is the last year of the Great Shang Dynasty, the three powerful three countries.

The king of Shang admired the three leaders very much, so he set up the positions of the three princes, and rewarded the three elders with the title of honorable officials, and they were extremely princes.

These three Fang countries are also acquaintances, and after being rewarded by the king of Shang, they took the initiative to call themselves Hou and retreated from the original title of king. dog

Therefore, although the country of the Southern Wilderness is small, the king of the Southern Wilderness is still the king.

And although the Ghost Country is big, the leader of the Ghost Country is only called Hou.

Xia Gui has seen the power of the Ghost Fang Country. Ghost Marquis, who is in the prime of life, is a master of the Nujiang Realm, and his brothers are no worse than him.

Just one of the teenage daughters of the ghost marquis is the capital of the dragon and phoenix, and she has reached the realm of the long river at a young age, and she is really the proud daughter of the contemporary sky!

If it weren't for the fact that the ghost marquis was not on the mountain villa, the masters in the mountain villa were empty, and Mi Xuefu obviously released water on himself, Xia Gui was able to demolish the northern base and escape from here with Woding. But as long as there is a master to get serious, Xia Gui can't return to the Earth Mist Castle in a good time.

Look at the Southern Wilderness Country again, his father, throughout his life, that is, the cultivation of the Long River Realm, is actually on the same level as several generals under his hands. And Yuan Heyu, the only general who can see the past, is still a traitor!

If you look at Xiqi again, it's a different story entirely.

It is said that Xibohou is benevolent and righteous, and his fierce generals are like soldiers on the battlefield.

Jiang Ziya, Lei Zhenzi, Yang Jian, etc...... All of them are brave and brave generals, and their fame is also spread far away in the land of China.

"Who's coming from Xiqi?" Xia Gui asked.

Deng Yue said: "Jiang Lao, Jiang Ziya." ”

Xia Gui's face showed a slight shock, although he lived in a simple place, he had also heard of this old guy's reputation, but he didn't expect this big guy to visit in person.

"What is the matter with Jiang Lao?" Xia Gui asked again.

Deng Yue said: "Although Jiang Lao is a generation of Confucianism, he is quite polite when he speaks. He said that he watched the stars at night, and saw that there was a strange army stationed in Tuwu Fort, and his achievements in the future were limitless, so he came to the door and asked if he was willing to form an alliance with Xiqi?

Xia Gui took a light breath, it turned out that he had come to invite the alliance.

Xia Gui narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on Yunshen nowhere.

The alliance with Xiqi is actually the best choice at present. In today's troubled times, the only thing that can compete with the big merchants is the power of Xiqi.

The Southern Wilderness has just been destroyed, and all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, if you can find such a force that you can rely on, you can be regarded as hugging your thighs.

Jiang Lao also said that this was not only his personal idea, but Xibohou also issued the same sincere invitation. Xibohou heard that His Royal Highness was young and promising, and hoped that His Highness could move to Xiqi to discuss the plan. Deng Yue said again.

One Jiang Ziya was not enough, the leader of the other party, Xibohou Jichang, was also moved out, which can be described as full of sincerity.

Xia Gui smiled, "Uncle Deng Yue, what do you mean?"

Deng Yue said: "Your Highness, you were not here at that time, and we could only stand still. found a reason and thanked Jiang Lao. What are your highness's plans?"

Xia Guidao: "I think Xiqi can be knotted. ”

A smile appeared in the corner of Deng Yue's eyes, "My subordinates also think that Xiqi can be knotted." ”

Not only Deng Yue, but even Gan Yan was quite in favor of forming an alliance with Xiqi.

In the depths of the Southern Wilderness, it has only established diplomatic relations with the surrounding small countries, ignoring the alliance with the big countries. If the Southern Wilderness countries expand their alliances more, the big powers that rely on their strength may not be so easily annexed by other countries.

These two generals have been alone on the earth fog castle for more than half a year, and they have tasted enough of the days of fear, and at this moment no one is more like running to a safe place, camping, and recuperating.

Xia Gui smiled, "We are weak now, and it is also the best choice to be able to unite with other tribes." It's just that if you unite with any country, you should also pay attention to proportion. After all, the Southern Wilderness Country is ours, and since it has already perished once, if we want to rebuild it, we can't lose any more troops. We need to make an agreement with Xiqi, but we can't invade and annex each other. ”

"Your Highness, Elder Jiang has also promised that not only will they form an alliance with each other, Xiqi will never touch a single soldier of us, but they will also help each other. Deng Yue said.

Xia Gui smiled faintly, and a solemn look passed through the corners of his eyes, "Really?"

Xia Gui was a very vigilant person, and at this moment he began to wonder if this was a trap laid by the other party.

From the sky, how could a pie fall for no reason?

"Your Highness, my subordinates have heard that Xibohou Jichang has always been benevolent and righteous. This kind of assistance is not a precedent, and they have also funded some small neighboring countries and formed a close-knit lineup. Deng Yue said.

Xia Gui nodded.

Now that the king of Shang is busy conquering Dongyi, in the eyes of outsiders, the Great Shang has reached an incomparably heyday, but in fact, behind this heyday, there is a hidden danger of the double emptiness of the western army and power. And the Xibo Marquis recuperated and united the vassal states and slave owners, undoubtedly choosing the wisest way to preserve in this turbulent world.
