After he left, Shangguan Wenruo, who was standing below, smiled slightly and said, "Ruan Ming doesn't have much talent, but I heard that his second son, Ruan Yang, is a talent. ”

"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "Let's give him a Liangzhou Imperial History first, so that I can appease the others." ”

As he said this, Lin Chu walked in quickly.

Seeing him, Xiao Yuan immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the king, according to intelligence, Tang Yue, leading three thousand cavalry, ran away." Lin Chu hugged his fist.

"What? Ran away? Xiao Yuan frowned.

"Yes, break away from the encirclement of the Huan army and go in the direction of Guangling." Lin Chu returned.

After receiving his confirmation, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then said coldly:

"There are more than 100,000 people in the Huan army, if you really want to besiege Tang Yue, how to break through, this Sun Qi is obviously sinister."

"Tang Yue will definitely choose Wu Chu when he goes here, once this happens, it will be a big trouble for this king!"

As he spoke, his eyes were cold again: "The Tang family, they are all in Liangzhou, right?" ”

"Yes." Lin Chu responded.

But before Xiao Yuan could say anything, Shangguan Wenruo heard the words and hurriedly said, "The king can't attack the Tang family. ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yuan's tone was not good.

Shangguan Wenruo explained: "It is meaningless to move the Tang family now, rather than this, it is better to treat them well, so that not only can you show the generosity of the king, but also will have an unexpected effect in the future." ”

"Think about it, if Tang Yue voted for Wu Chu, but his family was treated well in our country, then the second king of Wu Chu, would he dare to use him?"

"In addition, the kindness to the Tang family will make the political situation in Liangzhou more stable, so that Xue Wu and other generals will be grateful, and Tang Yue himself will also feel ashamed."

After listening to his explanation, Xiao Yuan fell silent.

Shangguan Wenruo said again: "Does the king like generals like Tang Yue?" ”

"This person is brave, rare in the world, who doesn't love him." Xiao Yuan said truthfully.

Shangguan Wenruo smiled: "Tang Yue's bravery, but Puffer, if there is a next battle, Weichen will make a little trick, and he will let him surrender by himself." ”

"That's what you said." Xiao Yuan's eyes narrowed.

"Yes." Shangguan Wenruo replied seriously.

Seeing that he was so determined, Xiao Yuan also smiled, and was in a good mood: "Okay! I'll listen to you. ”

After saying this, he changed his words again and said, "But for Xue Wu, this king is still a little worried. ”

Shangguan Wenruo understood what he meant, thought about it when he heard it, and said: "The current territory of Liangguo is laid by Liangjinggong, opened up by King Liang, and his achievements are mostly in pacifying the Northern Desert, and Beidi was completely driven out of the Central Plains, and these wars were almost all fought by Xue Wu, his prestige in Beidi is very high, and the Rong tribe will be frightened when they see it, therefore, Weichen suggested that he can guard the northern frontier. ”

"As for the other ......"

Speaking of this, Shangguan Wenruo also paused.

Xiao Yuan glanced at him, raised his hand slightly, and said, "Okay, this matter, let's discuss it later." ”

On the other side, after Ruan Ming returned home, he was full of ambition, like a spring breeze.

Seeing the smile on his face, Ruan Yang couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Father, I want to >>."

Come, what's the joy? ”

When Ruan Ming heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his back, and then glanced at his second son: "Yang'er, what you said, it's true, King Qin not only didn't kill me, do you know what position he will hold me?" The imperial history of Liangzhou! ”

"Oh?" Ruan Yang was also in good spirits, but soon, he rolled his eyes again and said: "Father, in terms of the official system of the Qin State, this imperial history of Liangzhou can be the top priority or it can be insignificant, the King of Qin did not give his father real power, nor did he give the so-called false position, and obviously there is also the intention of testing the Ruan family." ”

He analyzed Ruan Ming in sufficient detail, and after listening to it, the latter's face was also straight: "Hey, according to Yang'er, if you say so, is the Ruan family still in danger?" ”

"The danger is definitely gone, but it depends on whether my father continues to rise." Ruan Yang said directly.

Ruan Ming thought about it for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Our Ruan family, the wealth is enough, if we really want to stretch in the officialdom of the Qin State, I'm afraid there will be many difficulties, my father is also old, and I have a weak heart, I mean, it's good now, we have kept the family business, haven't we?" There is also the imperial history of Liangzhou, as long as I don't make any big mistakes, who can do me? ”

Ruan Ming has no ambitions, but his two sons are different, and said: "Father is right to think so, but I think that if the Ruan family really wants to be a wealthy family for generations, it needs a high-powered person, otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, and when it really comes to that time, someone needs to protect it." ”

He was telling the truth, and when Ruan Ming heard this, he also frowned slightly: "Yang'er means ......"

"Please find a way for your father, and let me know how to join the company." Ruan Yang said directly.

"Naturally, this father is very supportive." Ruan Ming said first, and then he was embarrassed: "But Yang'er, in the officialdom of Qin State, my father doesn't have any acquaintances, and he walks between them, it can be imagined, this matter, you still need to wait for the opportunity." ”

As he spoke, he said tentatively: "It's better for us to use a huge amount of gold and silver to make friends with Qin Xiang, as long as the Ruan family has a relationship with Xiangguo, and then Xiangguo recommends it, then this matter will be a matter of course." ”

"Don't." Ruan Yang hurriedly said: "I have heard that Liu Yuzhi, the prime minister of Qin, is worried about the country and the people, and is mostly praised by the people, and is a person respected by many literati. And now is the time to give gifts. ”

"So, what about you?" Ruan Ming asked again.

Ruan Yang thought for a while and said helplessly: "As my father said, wait for an opportunity." ”

On the Ruan family's side, with Ruan Ming's imperial history of Liangzhou, other former ministers of Liangguo, either for self-preservation or for fame and fortune, began to show loyalty to King Qin.

For the sake of the stability of Liangdi, Xiao Yuan adopted Shangguan Wenruo's opinion, carefully studied and considered a group of Liangguo officials, dismissed a group, appointed a group, and maintained the official system of Liangguo to stabilize the political situation.

Subsequently, he was ready to solve the problem of Xue Wuyi first.

He left Shangguan Wenruo in Liangzhou and continued to deal with some post-war matters, while he personally rushed to Wutong to contact Xue Wu about surrendering.

On this day, outside the city of Yanzhou.

Xiao Yuan was wearing a royal robe, a royal crown, and nine strings of jade beads on his forehead, located in front of the team, and behind him were the overwhelming soldiers of the Qin army.

After a while, the city gate opened, and Xue Wu led a group of generals of the Liang Army and walked over.

Before and after Xiao Yuan's body, he took off his robe, knelt on one knee, held a small brocade box in both hands, and said:

"Xue Wu, the general of the defeated army, see His Royal Highness the King of Qin."

As he knelt down, all the cool generals behind him also knelt on the ground.
