As soon as Biqiu Jian heard this, he stood up, got up and walked out, without the slightest concern that he was only wearing thin underwear.

The steward was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took off Biqiu Jian's clothes from the hanger, hurriedly chased after him, and shouted loudly: "Master, clothes, it's cold outside-"

But Biqiu Jian turned a deaf ear, walked quickly, and rushed to the gate of the mansion in one breath.

There was goose feather snow outside, and the snow on the ground was almost up to his ankles, Biqiu Jian did not stop, but walked to Biqiu Xiu, who had just gotten off the carriage, and said hurriedly: "Second brother, you are back!" How's it going, how are things going? ”

Of course, Biqiu Jian is most concerned about the affairs of the state, and Biqiu Xiu has been gone for a few months, and there has been no news, how not to make Biqiu Jian anxious.

Biqiu Xiu was also a dusty servant all the way, due to the heavy snow on the way back, he was delayed for a few more days, but he finally returned to Youzhou before the end of the year, which made him feel relieved.

Biqiu Xiu knows that what his brother Biqiu Jianrui is most concerned about is the news he brought back, and before the state side makes any commitments, Biqiu Jian will not have any action, and he is in a hurry to bring this good news back to Youzhou, and Biqiu Jian can rest assured that he can boldly implement the plan.

The new year will also be a new beginning for the Biqiu family.

Seeing Biqiu Jian dressed in a single coat and coming out in the snow to greet him, Biqiu Xiu was greatly moved, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life, and my brother has done everything that my brother has told me properly." ”

Biqiu Jian waited for this good news, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately took Biqiu Xiu's hand and said excitedly: "Okay! Second brother, I really didn't mistake you for my brother, this thing was done beautifully! Tell me, what are the details? ”

Biqiu Xiu looked at the heavy snow, and then looked at the single clothes on Biqiu Jian's body, thinking that it was also Biqiu Jian as soon as he heard the news that he was back, he rushed out without caring about getting dressed, it was freezing on this day, it might not matter if he stayed for a while, he really stayed for a long time, but he didn't freeze Biqiu Jian?

So Biqiu Xiu hurriedly said: "It's too cold outside, brother should go back to the house and talk again, this matter is a long story, let the younger brother say slowly." ”

Biqiu Jian also felt a chill on his body, and the steward rushed forward and put the big coat on Biqiu Jian, but Biqiu Jian didn't stay in the snow for too long, after all, even if he could bear it, a kind of Biqiu Xiu who was running around on a saddle horse might not be able to bear it.

The two brothers then returned to the warm pavilion together, and Biqiu Jian instructed his subordinates to add an extra brazier, and ordered someone to scald the wine, and prepared a few hot appetizers, planning to chat while drinking wine to warm up their bodies.

On this cold day, it is indeed very pleasant to drink a glass of steaming wine and eat a few bites of fatty lamb.

When the next person served the food and wine, Biqiu Jian couldn't wait to inquire about the details of Biqiu Xiu's trip to the state.

Biqiu Xiu did not hide it, and reported the trip to Biqiu Jian in detail.

When he heard that Biqiu Xiu was refused to enter the city outside the Yanmen Pass and fell into the wolf's mouth, Biqiu Jian was furious and said: "Du Zhuzi, dare you deceive me like this?" ”

Biqiu Xiu hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be angry, although Du Yu has the practice of snubbing the younger brother, but after all, he ordered someone to shoot back the wolves with a bow and arrow, so as to save the life of the younger brother." In fact, we attacked Yanmen several times, resulting in a lot of casualties among the defenders of Bingzhou, and it is normal for Du Pre and the Yanmen defenders to have some grievances. ”

Biqiu Jianqi said: "Second brother, when you were in Youzhou, you were jealous and hateful, and you couldn't rub half a grain of sand in your eyes, why do you say good things for others now?" It's a strange thing. ”

Biqiu Xiu sighed: "This trip to merge the state, the younger brother is a lot of emotion, pushing others and himself, it was also a place where we did too much before, obeying Sima Yi's orders, sending troops to merge the state, so that countless soldiers and soldiers of the state died, Du Yu and others are just a little resentful, in other words, we may not be able to be magnanimous, and carry on the past." ”

Biqiu Jian listened, silent, he led the army to attack Bingzhou before, in fact, he was forced to helpless, did not obey Sima Yi's orders, the consequences were naturally quite serious, and at that time, Biqiu Jian was not ready to rebel, so he could only be a false snake and send troops to attack Bingzhou.

There will be casualties in any war, even if Biqiu Jian has tried his best to delay and reduce the scale of the battle to a minimum, but this cannot avoid casualties among the soldiers on both sides, so it is inevitable that the two sides will fight each other, Du is the highest commander on the front line, and has been fighting with the Youzhou Army for nearly a year, how can there be no resentment in the stomach, if it is Biqiu Jian, maybe the other party's skin is stripped of the heart.

Du Yu just vented the resentment in his heart, and did not put Biqiu Xiu to death, and finally sent someone to escort him to Jinyang, which can actually be regarded as benevolent and righteous. Therefore, when Biqiu Xiu entered the state, he was given a cold reception, which was naturally unhappy, but after thinking about it, Du Yu was not at fault, so Biqiu Xiu was relieved.

Next, Biqiu Xiu recounted the negotiation process with Huan Fan in detail.

When Biqiu Jian heard that it was Huan Fan who was negotiating with him, his heart suddenly chuckled, and his face changed slightly, Huan Fan and his people, although Biqiu Jian did not have much intersection with him, but they were both feudal officials, one had guarded Mu Qingzhou, and the other was the soil emperor of Youzhou, and they still knew each other.

The reason why Biqiu Jian is worried is Huan Fan's character, it is said that character determines fate, and Huan Fan's character has always been difficult to deal with, which undoubtedly casts a shadow on this negotiation.

Sure enough, in Biqiu Xiu's introduction, Huan Fan appeared with a cold face, which really made Biqiu Xiu at a loss.

Therefore, in order to show the greatest sincerity on their side, Biqiu Xiuhou quickly gave up the two cities of Pingshu Lingshi, Huan Fan under the vested interests, but also his attitude was somewhat restrained, and the two sides quickly reached a unanimous agreement, Biqiu Xiu agreed to issue a crusade against the Sima clan, Youzhou officially broke with the imperial court controlled by the Sima clan, and formed an alliance with the Bingzhou army, and the two sides advanced and retreated together, joining forces against the Sima clan.
