Chapter 90: The Alliance of Wolves and Sheep (3)
The sudden sound of silk and bamboo in the tent made everyone who was already intoxicated by the aroma of wine and meat more and more excited, coupled with Bai Yu'er's moving dance against the backdrop of fireworks, the centurions of the Bai Rong clan unconsciously sang the songs of the clan with the beat.
Looking at the grassland people singing to the beat around him, even if Wei Kai pretended to be deaf and dumb now, it was impossible to turn a blind eye.
Besides, since the beginning of the tent just now, there has always been a tiger with a blue face, staring at Wei Kai under the hall.
Alas, it is really a sideways, Wei Kai frowned slightly, and sighed in his heart.
After all, if he continues to forcibly pretend, then the Bai Rong Patriarch Ganlu Tan, who has been glaring at him since just now, is afraid that he will not give up, so not only will he not delay time, but he will also ruin a big thing.
Bai Yu'er took the initiative to dance in the camp, which was unexpected for Ganlu Tan, and for Wei Kai, it was also unexpected.
But this is not to say that before the envoy, Wei Kai did not imagine that the Bairong clan would use beautiful women to win him over. You must know that the competition for interests between the two countries is, in the final analysis, a fight for women and property, so bribing the envoy is nothing more than the word power.
On the contrary, the Bai Rong clan took the initiative to bribe themselves, which was exactly what Wei Kai wanted to see.
After all, this means that Wei Kai, the Wei envoy, has occupied the absolute initiative from the beginning in the game with the Bairong clan, which also means that the right to speak has always been in Wei Kai's hands, and it is also convenient for Wei Kai to delay time.
It is important to know that on both sides of the game, it is often the case that whoever has more useful hole cards is likely to win in the end.
However, this is also a good strategy for Wei Kai, a person who has no hole cards, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and winning cards without cards. In addition, if it is based on the hole cards, Wei Kai is destined to lose, after all, Wei Kai is a fake Wei envoy.
And what Wei Kai has to do now is to make the patriarch of the Bairong clan have no clue and create a stalemate to delay time, after all, if he takes the initiative to fight, he will eventually show his feet, but it is not beautiful, after all, what is fake is fake after all.
However, when a clever hunter catches a beast of prey, he never hopes to achieve it overnight, but in the midst of repeated pulling, he fights wits and courage with the grinning beast, and only after the prey in his mouth is exhausted will he capture the prey that seems to be at his fingertips.
And now on the banks of Luoshui is not only not a man-eating beast, but tens of thousands of grassland and eight kingdom iron horsemen who are endless and cover the sky, which does not allow Wei Kai to be careless.
If Wei Kai misses a move, Wei Kai's own death is small, and letting go of these tens of thousands of incoming enemies will be the biggest disaster for the Qin State.
Although the Qin State has been conquering the east and the west since Mu Gong, subduing the surrounding grassland tribes, it seems to have become a hegemon in the west. But now that the state of Qin is weakening, and it coincides with the replacement of the monarch of Qin and the invasion of foreign enemies, although Qin has the name of a great power, it is really strong in the outside and in the middle, and it cannot tolerate the slightest mistake.
However, fortunately, the grassland tribes did not communicate with the Central Plains before, and there were no capable generals who could see through the situation, so the grassland tribes lying dormant around the Qin State did not take the opportunity to attack the Qin State.
I am afraid that this is also the reason why the Eight Kingdoms of the Grassland have invaded the belly of the Qin State now, but they have been holding back for a long time, just waiting for the Wei State, intending to attack the Qin State together with the Central Plains States.
After all, the Qin people established the country with a knife and a shot, and every piece of land in the Qin country was soaked with the blood of the Qin people and the bitter tears of the grassland people.
But if they are allowed to leave with one blow this time, then the current weak state of the Qin State will be known by the grassland tribes in an instant, so that some thoughts will be born, then the threat to the Qin State may be no less than the attack of the five countries of the Central Plains this time.
Although the power of the grassland tribes such as Rong and Hydroxyl is not as powerful as that of the Qin State, they can't stop the wolves from attacking from all sides. After a long time, the huge Qin State will not be able to deal with it, but will be constantly restrained by them, and the Qin State's already small vitality will be consumed in vain.
Therefore, the enemy army on the bank of the Luoshui River, Wei Kai is bound to win, even if he can't be completely annihilated, but he must make these restless steppe wolves feel the pain of the skin, and honestly continue to settle down.
Otherwise, before the reform of the Qin State began, it would gradually become physically exhausted and the national strength would become weaker and weaker under the repeated attacks of the Central Plains countries and the grassland tribes, so that it would be impossible to carry out the law reform.
However, looking at Bai Yu'er, who was now like a fairy in the camp and was radiant, Wei Kai felt that his heart was blocked, and he really didn't know how to deal with it.
Of course, this is not to say that Wei Kai is embarrassed by the bold and enthusiastic customs of men and women on the grassland.
If Wei Kai had just been reincarnated, he might still be a little shy, but for Wei Kai, who had experienced the ups and downs of the world for a long time, there was no so-called embarrassment at all.
The so-called what made Wei Kai hesitate may be the only bit of conscience left in his previous life.
You must know that the purpose of Wei Kai's appearance here is that Wei Kai has exterminated these tens of thousands of grassland troops from beginning to end, which also means that for the Bairong clan, Wei Kai will sooner or later be a shameful traitor in the mouth of the Bairong clan, rather than a satisfactory patriarch and son-in-law.
This is often the case in the world.
Sometimes, plundering other people's lives is often just a moment, even if it is thousands of lives, but against one's own beliefs, I am afraid that it will take more effort than ruthlessly swinging the murderous knife.
However, when the face of the patriarch of the Bairong clan in the tent, Gan Lu Tan, gradually turned black from blue, and the Bairong centurions who sang loudly widened their eyes with a look of disbelief, and looked at Wei Kai in surprise, Wei Kai quickly changed his role.
The young man took the hot wine of the girl in front of him ignorantly, his face was filled with a sudden look of joy, looking at the girl with slightly red cheeks in front of him, Wei Kai was surprised and had firm eyes, and it seemed that what kind of decision had been made, everything was so natural, so that everyone who was surprised just now instantly let out a voice of envy and joy.
Although Wei Kai's behavior may seem a little disgusting, but looking at the dry road Tan whose face gradually stretched, Wei Kai knew that the decision he had just made was correct or not.
If Wei Kai refused just now because he couldn't bear it in his heart, I am afraid that Ganlu Tan, who was already on the verge of anger, would have an attack on the spot, and even if the Bairong clan asked for Wei at that time, they would not give up.
After all, in the eyes of Gan Lu Tan, the patriarch of the Bairong clan, his most precious treasure has made such a big sacrifice today, which is already the incompetence of his father.
If he let his Bai Yu'er continue to be humiliated, and let his Bai Rong clan be humiliated, even if he shocked the Wei State in the Central Plains, he would have to draw his sword against him. What's more, the reason why he flattered the Wei envoy in front of him was just to get the help of Wei and not let his tribe be humiliated by the King of Yiqu?
"Please, Ganlu Tan Patriarch", looking at Bai Yu'er, who was kneeling beside him and carefully helping him pour wine, Wei Kai, who was originally silent, took the initiative to Ganlu Tan, the patriarch of the Bairong clan sitting in the hall, gratefully at this time.
Looking at his daughter, who he regarded as a treasure, he obediently helped other men pour wine at this time, and Ganlu Tan, who was originally slightly pleased because Wei Kai took the initiative to speak, was very depressed in his heart at this time.
After all, although the Bairong clan is now in contact with the Wei State, this is at the expense of their own daughter.
And his little padded jacket seems to be a little leaky, Bairong Patriarch Ganlu Tan originally thought that his daughter was unwilling, but now looking at his daughter at this time, there is no reluctance, and the shy and happy appearance is not like pretending at all, and he suddenly sighed in his heart.
Okay, it can be regarded as fulfilling his mother's thoughts, Ganlu Tan touched his beard and sighed softly. After all, the poor princess of the Jin family was still talking about her mother country until she died.
When Bai Yu'er married into the Wei State, he also took his younger brother Qibang with him, after all, the grassland is becoming more and more unpeaceful now, Ganlu Tan took a sip of the wine in his hand a little, and then thought in his heart.
You must know that now that the envoy of Wei is willing to marry Bai Yu'er, then the alliance between the Bai Rong clan and Wei is basically a doomed thing. Or to be precise, the Wei envoy in front of him must be inclined to his Bairong clan among the eight countries of the grassland.
Moreover, this person in the account is still a close person of the late Xiangguo Gongsun Acne of Wei State, and now that Gongsun Acne is dead, the situation in the court of Wei State has undergone earth-shaking changes.
As soon as the great trouble in his heart disappeared, the patriarch of the Bairong clan, Gan Lu Tan, suddenly loosened his whole body, looked at Wei Kai under the hall, and the hidden merchant nature was revealed again.
After all, under the repeated suppression of the new noble prince of Wei, Gongsun Acne, who had only passed away not long ago, seemed to have encountered countless cold winters in the court of Wei. Not only have all the important positions above the court been lost, but also the land west of Hexi, where the Gongsun lineage was able to survive and develop, is also faintly lost.
Now the Wei envoy Wei Wuji in front of him, one person and one horse came to the envoy, one does reflect the extraordinaryness of this person, but on the other hand, why doesn't it show the eagerness and bad situation of the Gongsun Acne faction at this time?
After all, if the Gongsun Acne faction does not take some credit, I am afraid that even if the King of Wei remembers Gongsun Acne's old feelings, there will be no excuse to refuse those who intend to carve up the interests of the Gongsun Yi faction in the land west of the river.
Moreover, according to Ganlu Tan, the relationship between the late Xiangguo Gongsun of Wei and the current Wei Wangying is probably not as rumored to be between monarchs and ministers, like a fish in water, which is even more interesting.
However, now for Ganlu Tan, it does not mean that he is ready to blackmail Wei Wuji and wait for an opportunity to ask for certain benefits, but it makes Ganlu Tan have a certain plan in his heart.
After all, for the Wei State, the power of the Bairong clan is definitely far inferior, but for those noble forces above the Wei court, the power of the Bairong clan is not to be underestimated.
This can be regarded as a little dowry for Bai Yu'er, Gan Lu Tan sighed in his heart, after all, Bai Yu'er married far away to Wei to help his incompetent father.
