After several years of hard fighting, the vast majority of soldiers in Hebei Domain Town actually have a war-weary heart, and they don't want to fight anymore, and there is a lot of reconciliation, but at that time, the head of the five major feudal towns, with the land of Kyushu, the strongest Hengzhou Jiedu envoy He Chengzhang, its territory is connected to Hedong, in the face of the attack of the Jin Dynasty forbidden army, He Chengzhang bore the brunt of it, fought for three years, and the vast majority of the war was fought in his territory, therefore, He Chengzhang's power was hit hard, the losses were extremely heavy, more than half of the city was razed to the ground, and the people under his rule did not survive three.

He Chengzhang couldn't swallow this evil breath, killed the envoy sent by the imperial court to say peace, refused to reconcile, and then led his troops into Hedong, with an extremely tough attitude.

At this time, Longyou fell, and the combined forces of Tubo and Hu invaded Huizhou, and there was a momentum to enter the Central Plains in one breath, and the world was shaken.

Advance can not fight, retreat can not peace, Hu and Tubo alliance army into Huizhou, intending to herd horses in the Central Plains, Xizong urgently needs to be stationed in Hedong more than 200,000 main elite Jin army back, to Longyou to meet the enemy, but the five major feudal towns refused to say peace, advance and retreat, Xizong fell into despair again.

At the critical juncture, You Zhisheng, who is good at employing people, recommended Liu Shi, who is known for his eloquence, that is, Liu Ji's grandfather, to Hebei, and Xizong gave him 500 guards.

At that time, in addition to He Chengzhang, the other four major festival envoys did not want to fight again, but although He Chengzhang suffered heavy losses, his strength in the future will definitely decline significantly, but the war is not over, his military strength is still the strongest, far beyond other festival envoys, so, after Liu Shi entered Hebei, those few festival envoys are intended to shelter, so that he should not touch He Chengzhang's spearhead for the time being, so as not to send him to death, who knows that Liu Shi all refused, and went directly to He Chengzhang, He Chengzhang has been determined to fight with the imperial court endlessly, and the net is broken, was about to kill Liu Shi immediately, and Liu Shi died as a dying person, so He Chengzhang gave him a chance to speak.

Liu Shi scolded He Chengzhang bitterly, at the time of the large-scale invasion of the foreign race, regardless of the danger of the country and the nation, for his own selfish desires, he wanted to drag the entire country and even the entire Han nation into destruction, even if he died, he would be stinking for 10,000 years, and those who rebelled with you will definitely be spurned by the people of the world, and there will never be any good end.

was scolded by Liu Shi, He Chengzhang was extremely angry, and he was about to kill him on the spot, but he was stopped by the generals on the left and right, saying that although he killed, he must have his name, even if he had to kill, he had to give him a full meal, and he could not be a starving ghost, this rule was very popular in Hebei at that time.

He Chengzhang pressed his anger and asked Liu Shi to eat and kill him immediately.

The envoys sent by the imperial court several times before, but without this treatment, they were all killed on the spot, He Chengzhang wanted to kill himself now, but was blocked by many generals on the left and right, Liu Shi immediately understood that He Chengzhang wanted to continue the war, but those generals under him, I am afraid that they have different ideas, and there is still a chance for things.

Sure enough, Liu Shi leisurely finished dinner, and was not executed immediately, and in the middle of the night, a staff member of He Chengzhang named Wang Shishan secretly met with Liu Shi, saying that the army did not want to fight again, but after fighting to the death with the court for several years, the two sides had formed a deep hatred, afraid that the court would be liquidated in the future, and He Chengzhang had a tough attitude, and they didn't know how to choose.

Liu Shi knew that those generals were already war-weary, and they had different intentions, but he was afraid that the matter would be revealed and he would be poisoned by He Chengzhang, so he sent Wang Shishan to negotiate.

Liu Shi immediately persuaded him with national righteousness, and said that after the war, everything is still the same, who can be the first to join the imperial court, the emperor should allow this person to continue to lead He Chengzhang and his people, and become the new festival envoy.

Then the two talked a lot, Liu Shi learned that although Wang Shishan did not have any official position, only He Chengzhang's personal staff, but the family is very prosperous in Hebei, Wang Shishan himself in the army popularity and reputation is also very good, Liu Shi finally said that if Wang Shishan can promote this matter, before coming, the right minister You Zhisheng promised that he was willing to marry his eldest son or daughter, and eliminate his worries.

After receiving this important guarantee, Wang Shishan no longer had any doubts, and immediately went back to persuade the generals in the army, and that night, Chen Xiaohou killed He Chengzhang, and then led the people to surrender.

Since then, several generations of the You family have been married to the Wang family in Hebei, and the court also acquiesced to this, thinking that this is also very good, the Wang family has a great influence in Hebei, if someone in the court can maintain a close relationship with the Wang family, many things between the court and Hebei in the future can be contacted by the You family to the Wang family, and from it, to avoid the two sides from making a big fuss.

After this decision, the effect was very good, and in the following decades, whenever there was a dirty matter between the imperial court and Hebei, the Wang family would mediate from it, eliminate the doubts and suspicions of both sides, and try not to break out into war, which was in the interests of the imperial court and also in the interests of the Wang family.

"Father, if Li Xun doesn't come, should this banquet be held as scheduled?"

You Shaotang saw his father sitting there in a trance, and he didn't speak for a long time, so he asked softly.

You Mingyuan woke up from his memories, glanced at You Shaotang, and said lightly: "If you don't come, don't come, the second uncle's health has improved recently, much better than before, this is also something worth celebrating, what to do, don't say more for my father, right?" ”

"The child understands."

You Shaotang nodded, the banquet continued, but under a different name, You Yuanfeng is the oldest elder of the You family now, and it is also the generation of You Mingyuan's father, the last remaining person, and the most accomplished person in that generation, although he is old, but the wisdom is still there, for You Yuanfeng's decisions and opinions, the patriarch You Mingyuan never dared to have any objections, including the marriage of Li Xun and You Min, including You Mingyuan, the vast majority of the You family is actually opposed, because it is too dangerous, Once the crown prince Zhao Xun finally fails, Li Xun will definitely suffer, which will affect You Min and the You family, but You Yuanfeng is strongly supportive.

After the matter was over here, You Mingyuan thought about it, and finally went to the backyard and found You Yuanfeng.

You Yuanfeng was unwell some time ago, the hospital bed for many days, and it has just improved recently, the weather is good today, the sun is shining, You Yuanfeng, who has not been out of the room for some days, has come out of the yard and lies on the chair to bask in the sun.

"Second uncle, my nephew is here for you."

You Mingyuan walked closer and saluted respectfully.

You Yuanfeng opened his eyes, squinted at You Mingyuan, and said lightly: "If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, say it, what's the matter." ”

You Mingyuan smiled bitterly: "Second uncle, things have been busy recently, and it is my nephew's fault that I didn't come to ask for peace for several days." ”

You Yuanfeng said lightly: "You are the head of the clan, you should put the family first, it is certain that things are busy, if you are not busy, you will have no weight as the patriarch, and my You family will be almost finished." ”

You Mingyuan looked grim and arched his hand: "The second uncle taught me a lesson, and my nephew asked for advice." ”

You Yuanfeng raised his hand, and the housekeeper on the side brought a low stool for You Mingyuan, and then retreated himself, leaving this place for the two of them to talk about.

After You Mingyuan sat down, he told Li Xun about it.

After You Yuanfeng heard this, he smiled: "I thought it was a big deal, and such a little is worth your rush to the old man?" ”
