Without taking Li Shi'er, who had been sneering at Ye Qing, Ye Qing and Wan Yanjing walked out of his temporary mansion in Chang'an, and the two walked to the city tower, slowly walking along the blue brick city tower with potholes and decay everywhere.

Ye Qing stretched out his arm in front of Wan Yan Jing, pointing and drawing from time to time, explaining his next reconstruction of Chang'an City and the expansion of its scale.

Wan Yanjing listened very carefully, and from time to time he would interject two sentences to express his own opinions.

At this moment, the two of them can't see at all that they are already enemies in Jinan Mansion, each sending a large army to fight, more like two friends talking.

The weather is getting warmer, the sun shines on people with a mild heat, and the breeze blows, mixed with the residual chill of winter, which makes people enjoy the mild sunshine and warmth after the beginning of spring.

"Do you want me to help you get rid of Li Xi'er and Li Tiege? If they are, it will do you more harm than good in the court. What's more, now that your throne is stable, whether it is Jia Gu Qing or Lin Ming, there is no way to pose a threat to you, and if you repeatedly favor that Li Shi'er, it will cause a fire in the backyard. Ye Qing asked, holding on to the cold city wall.

"Aren't you afraid that Concubine Shu will be even more dissatisfied with you because of this?" Wan Yan Jing asked without a direct answer.

"Just make people unaware of ghosts?" Ye Qing turned around and leaned against the city wall and said.

"I want to think about it." Wan Yan Jing smiled, then sighed worriedly, and said: "Sir, I can feel that the strength of the Dajin Kingdom is inadequate, if the Beidi Fourth Road and Jingzhao Mansion are still in my Dajin hands, maybe I can still make a Bo, but Mr. has calculated everything." Or rather...... Mr. has calculated me from the very beginning, whether it is the Temujin or Zamuhe or Sangkun, in fact, I would have doubted Mr.'s inference before, but since I began to realize that Qiu Chuji was determined to follow Temujin, and now, basically all the situations are as Mr. said back then, the Tatar tribes are being unified, and they are becoming more and more powerful, and the Xia people are beginning to shrink, and my Dajin has naturally become the target of the enemy. ”

"In the battle of Jinan Mansion, you can't win." Ye Qing said without giving face: "Although I still don't know the real purpose of your coming to Jingzhao Mansion, but your skills have been tried several times, which also makes me very happy, at least compared to the time when I knew my intentions." Maybe being in my position is enough, but as an emperor, you're not enough. ”

"If Mr. assists me, how will you teach me in the current situation?" Wan Yanjing didn't regard Ye Qing as his enemy at all, but asked as a real gentleman.

Ye Qing lowered his head and smiled, and said after being silent for a while: "If I were your courtier, I would ...... face the current situation." Biting his lip, he paused again and said, "Lian Song resists the Tatars." ”

"Why?" Wan Yanjing asked.

"Although Ye Qing is strong, he still has the Song Dynasty behind him as a stumbling block, and although he is entrenched in the five roads of the northern land, he is not strong enough to be able to eat the sixteen states of Yanyun, his purpose is very simple, he only wants to recover all the territories south of the Yellow River at the moment. Coupled with the fact that the relationship between him and the Song court is now unknown, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister is not clear, he also needs time to sort out the court behind him. I would suggest that you give up the three ways of Hetao, join forces with Ye Qing, and then continue to stir up the relationship between him and Song Ting behind your back, strive to truly isolate him, and then take the opportunity to plot. Ye Qing said with a smile.

"Giving up the three roads of the Hetao can throw the pressure of the Xia people to covet the three roads of the Hetao to Ye Qing, and it also enables my Dajin to concentrate on the Tatars and deal with Ye Qing secretly. The rift between Song Ting and Ye Qing has been deep, and after the battle of Guanshan, there is even more discord between the face and the heart, so if there is a situation like Guanshan again...... So you are too anxious in the battle of Guanshan, if you sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, watching Ye Qing fight with the Xia people, even if Ye Qing wins Guanshan, the grievances between him and the Xia people will be even more irreconcilable, at that time, you will be much more sure than now if you unite with the Xia Kingdom and the Song Dynasty to deal with Ye Qing together. Ye Qing said.

"Isn't that different from what it is now?" Wan Yan Jing frowned.

"It's different, because Song Ting is loose, and Temujin is left with only one opponent, Zamuhe. The possibility of you joining forces with the Xia people again is gone. I think...... It's not that Temujin didn't want to deal with me with you, but it didn't matter to him much, so he chose to forbear. But you didn't hold your breath, and your ambition was too big, so you gave me the opportunity to escape from Guanshan. If it is the begging stone martyr god slave, just to kill me, not for Guan Shan, then maybe you may still be able to take some initiative after the battle of Guan Shan. In fact, as long as I die, does it matter to you whether Guanshan belongs to the Jin Kingdom or not? Ye Qing asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The difference is a thousand miles." Wan Yanjing smiled bitterly: "The price of taking a wrong step may be a catastrophe, the balance between the four and the five, the interests are interlocking and intricate, if you want to completely sort it out, maybe only Mr. can do it." Mr. is right, if I am not anxious, maybe Temujin has not had a chance to destroy Sangkun, and even if Sangkun is defeated, in the battle of Guanshan, he may not defect to the Xia Kingdom, but to you, and then it will be uncomfortable for you, Mr., who does not want to offend Temujin, but also has to bear the friendship between you and Sangkun, and then my Dajin has a lot more room for activity, and maybe it is that Mr. asks me for help, not like now, I take the initiative to ask for help from Mr., and I have to pay such a big price. ”

"Impulsiveness is something that everyone is born with, but forbearance needs to be honed. A person becomes a dragon and a snake, in fact, in terms of personal temperament, God has never treated anyone favorably or badly, it is nothing more than being biased in terms of appearance and family background. So in many cases, the most important reason for success and failure depends on your personal city. It's not terrible to lose once, but the next thing is to see if you have the courage to do it. Ye Qing also sighed a little melancholy in his heart.

"How can you not be an emperor with great courage? Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, after looking at it, it is actually the same. I don't just want to keep the country left to me by my grandfather, but I also have imperial ambitions and expand my territory. One step further and one step back is just a matter of time and moment, and sooner or later, I will take back from my husband everything I have given today. Wan Yanjing patted the cold city wall, but deep down in his heart was full of fighting spirit.

"Really thought about it?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

"I've thought about it, but I'm a little reluctant." Wan Yan Jing suddenly became depressed again.

It has been three days since Jin and Song fought outside Jinan Mansion, and Wan Yanjing has not received a battle report, but Ye Qing has already had news about the outside of Jinan Mansion today.

After slowly handing it to Yan Jing, Wan Yan Jing opened it and glanced at it, then sighed and said, "I should have thought of it a long time ago, I lost." ”

"Wait until you have a chance to win me." Ye Qing said after taking it.

"There will be a day, then these days, please ask Mr. to govern the three roads of the Hetao for me." Wan Yanjing said freely, there was no trace of unwillingness and regret between his eyebrows, but he looked extremely energetic.

"If there is anything I need from the Tatars, just ask." Ye Qing also said generously.

"Don't. I'm afraid you'll yin me again! Wan Yan Jing gritted his teeth and refused, and then after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, and said: "I don't ask for anything else, I just ask that Mr. can be able to Chen Bing Yinshan north of the third road of Hetao after Zhanghetao 3rd Road, so that it can be regarded as a great help to me." ”

Ye Qing smiled: "Okay, no problem." It also gave me the opportunity to go further to Helan Mountain. ”

Wan Yan Jing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Qing: "The drunkard doesn't mean to drink?" ”

"When you leave, it's time for me to recover some interest from the Xia people, the battle of Guanshan can't let me lose so many people in vain, right?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

"But you've already occupied Guanshan!" Wan Yan Jing looked at Ye Qing at this moment, and felt that Ye Qing was a bandit who was even more barbaric than Jin, Xia, and Tatars.

"Guan Shan is originally from the Great Song Dynasty, and so is Hetao Third Road." After Ye Qing finished speaking, he grabbed Yan Jing's shoulders and was about to walk down the city tower.

Wan Yan Jing shook off Ye Qing's arm for the first time, and then said, "I hope Mr. is the talker." ”

"No one will lie to you." Ye Qing looked at Wan Yanjing, who was leaving quickly, and laughed loudly behind him.

Wan Yan Jing left Chang'an on the second day, when he came, he was loud, but when he left, he was silent, even if it was the army that escorted him all the way, plus those palace maids and eunuchs, etc., such a huge team did not bring any waves to Chang'an City at this time.

Yu Yunwen and Li Zhongfang protected Wan Yan Jing one after the other, and then Mo Xiaobao led the army of three thousand kinds of flowers to outflank him from another path.

Ye Qing stood on the tower of Chang'an City at the beginning of the rising sun, watching Yan Jing's huge team leave silently, and in the mighty procession, a delicate figure suddenly ran out of a carriage, turned around and waved his fist at him, and then got into the carriage again.

Ye Qing watched the figure disappear, and smiled silently, King Qing and Chongguo Gong on both sides of him still couldn't believe that the Jin people would return the three roads of Hetao so happily.

"How's the battle going in Jinan Mansion?" Ye Qing asked without replying.

Zhong Silkworm immediately said: "The Jin people are not in love, but they have not completely retreated, and now they are still in a stalemate, I am afraid that they are unwilling." ”

"Then let's take a look in a few days to see if Yan Jing is really sincere in returning the land of Hetao Sanlu. Or, he really needs to gather troops and start sending additional troops to all the checkpoints in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Ye Qing's expression did not show the slightest relaxation, and he paused: "Tell Li Heng that you can talk back to Hot Gongji, and if you want to talk, then come to Jingzhao Mansion with sincerity to talk to me in person." Tell Dong Chao that I have kept an eye on the three roads of Hetao with the spirit of twelve points, and I don't want Wan Yan Jing to kill one of us. ”

As Zhong Silkworm left, Chongguo Gong and King Qing's originally excited expressions also became solemn because of Ye Qing's solemn words.

"Are you afraid that this is a trap set by Wan Yan Jing for us?" King Qing asked.

"It's not impossible." Ye Qing said bluntly: "Temujin and Zamuhe are far from separating the winner or loser, but Wan Yan Jing is so anxious and not in a hurry to send out the third road of the Hetao, and the Jinan Mansion is only greeted by thunder and rain for a few days, this is not like a move to break the net and sink the boat, so easy and freehand, I have to prevent whether Yan Jing is setting a trap for me." The strength of the Jin people in the sixteen states of Yanyun was either really not enough to guard the various checkpoints, so Wan Yan Jing had to give up the three roads of the Hetao and return his troops to the checkpoints of the sixteen states of Yanyun. No matter which one it is, we can't be careless, and we must not give Yan Jing a chance to take advantage of it. ”

Ye Qing didn't dare to relax at this time, because he knew very well that only after truly controlling the three roads of Hetao could he be regarded as truly having a place in the Central Plains.

And if Yan Jing's actions are to fight to the death with him, then this time is also the time when he will be complacent and complacent after getting the three roads of the Hetao without much effort, and it is also the best time for him to attack him unprepared.
