"Your Majesty, how many years have we not seen each other?" Helian Cheng was not in a hurry to talk about cooperation, but really remembered the past.

"Helian Khan, remember when you assassinated me a few years ago?" Huangfu Jingwen asked with a smile, and he continued, "I thought that you were injured by Huangfu Jingyao that day, and you would definitely not want to think about it again. ”

Huangfu Jingwen's words were really sarcastic, what he meant was that Helian Cheng was a defeated general under Huangfu Jingyao, and he was proud of what happened back then.

"The emperor seems to have a bad memory, Ben Khan was only slightly injured in the events of the year, but you are here" Helian Cheng didn't care about Huangfu Jingwen's ridicule, it was impossible to tell who won and who lost in the events of the year, if it wasn't for the kidnapping of Xiang Wan, Huangfu Jingyao would not have been seriously injured, but if he hadn't kidnapped Xiang Wan, he wouldn't have known that Chu Xiangwan was such a strong and loving woman. He was a little secretly amused in his heart, if Huangfu Jingwen knew that Chu Xiangwan had become his woman early in the morning, he didn't know if he would be as calm as he is now.

Huangfu Jingwen shook his head: "But, as far as I know, there have only been some small fights at the border over the years, isn't it because of Huangfu Jingyao's military might that you dare not invade the border?" ”

Helian Cheng's face was still unmoved, Huangfu Jingwen didn't know about the deal he had made with Huangfu Jingyao before, so he naturally thought that he was jealous of Huangfu Jingyao. He replied with a smile: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, what my Huns need in recent years is to recuperate, and it is precisely because of these years of stable life that Ben Khan can now send troops to help the emperor solve your problems." ”

"Why don't you tell me what your conditions are?"

"The emperor should know that Ben Khan and Huangfu Jingyao have a grudge against their father. If there is a chance, Ben Khan will definitely kill him quickly, and Ben Khan has also told Commander Bian. Huangfu Jingyao was at the border for a day, and the head of the Xiongnu was always hung with a sword, and Ben Khan only hoped that the Xiongnu people could live a really good life. "It sounds like Helian Cheng's words do have some truth, not to mention that he is willing to live in peace with Huangfu Jingyao, I'm afraid that with Huangfu Jingyao's temperament, Helian City will not have a good time.

Huangfu Jingwen replied: "That's the case. I can promise you that as long as we join forces to take down Huangfu Jingyao, the Xiongnu and the Great Zhou will be brothers' states in the future. It is also appropriate to take care of each other, the Xiongnu and the Great Zhou live in harmony, isn't it a happy thing, and I am happy to see it. ”

"Good. The emperor said a word. Thank you very much. Helian Cheng clenched his fists, and he mocked in his heart: When the time comes, it is Ben Khan's decision to make peace between the Great Zhou and the Xiongnu, not your Emperor Fu Jingwen.

"I have one more thing I want to ask Helian Khan." Huangfu Jingyao slowly spoke.

"What?"

"Do you know the whereabouts of the Imperial Concubine?"

Helian Cheng remained silent, but secretly doubted in his heart, did Huangfu Jingwen know something to test him? He said calmly: "Isn't the imperial concubine in the Great Zhou military camp? ”

Huangfu Jingwen shook his head: "Bian Yi came back a few days ago to restore his life, saying that Xiang Wan had left with someone. ”

"Is that so?" Helian Cheng pretended to be shocked, "I left the border early in the morning and neglected to investigate. Does the emperor know where to look for the imperial concubine? ”

"I don't have a clue yet." Huangfu Jingwen shook his head. He didn't want to say more, he also had reservations. In case Helian Cheng wanted to kidnap Chu Xiangwan and threaten him, wouldn't it be a bad thing?

"In this case, the emperor might as well focus on the deployment of troops first, after all, this is a big deal." Helian Cheng changed the topic, and he had to show that he didn't care much about Chu Xiangwan's affairs so as not to arouse Huangfu Jingwen's suspicions.

"It's fine." Huangfu Jingwen nodded and continued, "In your opinion, what should we do now? ”

"Huangfu Jingyao is about to send troops in the near future, it is better for the emperor to issue an edict one step ahead of him, telling the courtiers and the people of the world that it is he Huangfu Jingyao who has ill intentions and wants to usurp power and seize the throne. When the time comes, it will be logical to call on the divisions of King Qin from all over the country to fight together. ”

Huangfu Jingwen pondered for a long time, frowned and said: "It is indeed good to strike first, but there is one thing you may not know, the military talisman is in the hands of Huangfu Jingyao, and the generals from all over the country will only act when they see the military talisman, and there are many generals among them who were promoted by Huangfu Jingyao, and my edict can only gather half of the troops at most." ”

Helian Cheng's eyes were shocked, no wonder, no wonder Huangfu Jingwen agreed to form an alliance with himself so quickly, Huangfu Jingyao is really powerful, he actually got the talisman early in the morning, I am afraid that there are already many generals under his command, and it must have been the courtiers who stood on the side of Huangfu Jingyao who rescued Chu Xiangwan in Hangzhou that day. Helian Cheng knocked on the table: "If this is the case, then the matter is really difficult to handle, Your Majesty, I originally thought that the Xiongnu army only needed to intercept Huangfu Jingyao in the Hetao area at most, so it seems that we must go south." "This situation is exactly what Helian City wants, and he was already thinking about how to get Huangfu Jingwen to promise him that the Hun army would go south, but now it's okay, this lack of troops is a good excuse.

"The Xiongnu army is not familiar with the situation of the Great Zhou, and going south may not be able to play a role." Huangfu Jingwen refused, and he still knew the reason for luring wolves into the house.

"The victory or defeat on the battlefield depends on the ability of the commander, and the soldiers just follow orders, which the emperor should know better than me." Helian Cheng didn't break the emperor's Fu Jingwen was actually afraid of luring wolves into the house so he refused to let the Huns go south, he said again, "The imperial concubine is missing, the emperor cares about the imperial concubine, this battle can only be won and not lost, otherwise the imperial concubine will become someone else's pillow." ”

Helian Cheng did hit the most vulnerable and concerned part of Huangfu Jingwen, Huangfu Jingwen listened to Helian Cheng's words, and thought that if Huangfu Jingyao won, Xiang Wan would become his woman, no, he would never let this happen. He didn't care what would happen in the future, so he replied: "Okay, I can promise to let you go south, but you can't enter Beijing, at most you can only fight against Huangfu Jingyao outside the capital, otherwise I and the courtiers will not be able to explain." ”

"Okay, that Ben Khan will immediately return to the Xiongnu to mobilize the army, hoping to fight with him at the border before Huangfu Jingyao sends troops." Helian Cheng finally achieved his goal, to put it bluntly, he wanted Huangfu Jingyao and Huangfu Jingwen's people to fight each other, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman, and to recapture Chu Xiangwan, he had to mobilize a large army into Beijing.

"I will not leave Helian Khan, and the day of reunion will be the time for us to celebrate, and then I will have a wine conversation with Helian Khan." Huangfu Jingwen picked up the tea cup on the table, "I will replace the wine with tea first, and I will congratulate you on taking down Huangfu Jingyao, a chaotic minister and thief, as soon as possible." ”

"Ben Khan takes his leave." Helian Cheng drank the cup of tea and got up and clenched his fists, he opened the door and strode away. (To be continued.) )
