On the night after Sima Xiao, Sun Xu, and Yao Quan negotiated, Sima Xiao quietly invited Yao Quan into his mansion.

"Lord Sima was invited late at night, didn't you forget to talk about something important during the day?" Yao Quan asked deliberately.

Sima Xiao smiled slightly: "Lord Yao is a smart person, I invited Lord Yao to come at this time, naturally I have something to say that I can't let the people of the Zhang family know!" ”

Yao Quan smiled knowingly: "Lord Sima is so trustworthy, it really flatters Yao Quan!" In this case, adults may as well speak up if they have something to say. ”

Sima Xiao took a deep breath, he paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and then suddenly stopped and looked at Yao Quan: "Lord Yao, if I have a way to let your country get the second county of Huai's inner capital, is your country willing to help me?" ”

Yao Quan became interested when he heard this: "It's better for Lord Sima to make his words clear first, and then Yao will go back and report to my country's saint." But don't worry, Lord Sima, I will do my best to help Lord Sima. ”

Sima Xiao narrowed his eyes, and then said: "This time, the Zhang family's side suddenly changed their toughness in the past and took the initiative to negotiate peace with your country, this is obviously not Zhang Lu's style, so I think Zhang Lu should have an accident!" Zhang Yu is still young and has not experienced major events, so he will take the initiative to propose the idea of peace. ”

Yao Quan nodded: "If it's really the same thing that the hero sees, he also thinks like this." ”

Sima Xiao nodded slightly: "Since Zhang Lu has fallen, then the Zhang family has no backbone, plus their Zhang family is a rebel country, Sima Xiao naturally can't cheap them!" Therefore, as long as your country agrees to send troops to help me hold off Wuwei's army, and let me lead my troops to Qinyang City, no matter whether I succeed or not, the land of the two counties of Neidu will be owned by your country in the future! ”

Yao Quan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Hold back Wuwei's army? You must know that Wuwei's army claims to have 200,000 people, and we have worked hard to drag them down for the adults, so that the adults can only get the land of the two counties? ”

Sima Xiao knew that Yao Quan would definitely bargain, so he asked directly, "I don't know what Lord Yao wants?" ”

Yao Quan didn't prepare, and he didn't know what conditions to mention, but since Sima Xiao had spoken, of course he had to ask for more. So Yao Quan deliberately said: "In addition to the land of the two counties, we want our adults to pay for our country's military expenses this time!" It's not much, just give us a million stones of grain and grass! ”

"What!" Sima Xiao jumped up violently: "A million stones? Lord Yao is planning to take advantage of the fire to rob! ”

Yao Quan knew that he wanted too much, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, this million stones of grain and grass will not be delivered by adults immediately, as long as it is delivered in the next few years!" ”

Sima Xiao fell into deep thought after hearing this, and after a while, he slapped the table heavily: "Okay! Let's make a decision! ”

Yao Quan smiled slightly: "Then I will congratulate Master Sima in advance on winning the Huaiguo River!" ”

Sima Xiao also laughed: "If I achieve great things in the future, I will definitely not forget Lord Yao's grace!" ”

After the two sides happily discussed, Sima Xiao sent someone to send Yao Quan away. As soon as Yao Quan left, a thin man entered Sima Xiao's room, and this person was none other than Wen Yan, Sima Xiao's first strategist!

Wen Yan saluted Sima Xiao, and then asked, "My lord, Yao Quan agreed?" ”

Sima Xiao nodded, and then couldn't help but say, "Seeing Yao Quan's villainous face, I really want to slap him!" Don't let me do this kind of thing in the future! ”

Wen Yan smiled: "My lord, thinking about the rivers and mountains of Huaiguo, this bit of anger is naturally nothing. But since the adults are depressed, then why don't you let Zai Xia go to Wuwei's camp instead of the adults? ”

Sima Xiao took a deep breath: "Okay! The rest is up to you! ”

At night, Wu Wei ordered 50,000 foot soldiers to quietly return to Qinyang City, wanting to make a secret trick Chen Cang.

Soon, the 50,000 foot soldiers were assembled, and Wu Wei and the soldiers issued an order to rush back to Qinyang day and night, so as not to make Zhang Shumo suddenly attack, resulting in the lack of garrison in Qinyang City. And Wu Wei also appointed the children of the Wu family as generals to command these 50,000 people.

Just as the army was about to leave, a man and a horse came outside the barracks.

"Report to General Wu, Sima Xiao's adviser Wen Yan suddenly visited, saying that he had something important to ask to see the general." The herald immediately reported to Wu Wei.

Wu Wei frowned when he heard this, Wen Yan couldn't find it and didn't come late, but he came at this time, if he let him in, wouldn't it let him know his plan?

Thinking of this, Wu Wei immediately received to the herald: "Let him wait outside the camp, and I will go later!" ”

After a while, Wu Wei rode to the outside of the camp, and Wen Yan was waiting quietly at the door.

Seeing Wu Wei coming, Wen Yan couldn't help but wonder: Where is this Wu Wei singing? Why didn't he invite me in, but came out alone, did he guess what he was going to say today, so he didn't want others to know?

Wu Wei came to Wen Yan's side and said with an impatient look: "Lord Wen, why did you come to General Ben at this hour?" You shouldn't have come with Sima Xiao on your back, right? ”

Wen Yan hurriedly shook his head: "General Wu guessed wrong this time, and it was on the orders of Lord Sima that he came to find the general." If Lord Sima wasn't worried that he would cause a misunderstanding by coming here, of course he would visit him personally this time. ”

"Oh? What is Sima Xiao looking for me? Wu Wei asked coldly.

As soon as Wen Yan saw Wu Wei's attitude, he understood in his heart that he didn't guess his thoughts, it seemed that he deliberately didn't let himself enter the barracks, and there must be something to hide. Could it be that Zhang Lu or Zhang Yu secretly followed?

Thinking of this, Wen Yan couldn't help but ask, "Is General Wu going to let him say Lord Sima's words here?" If the news is leaked, it may be detrimental to Master Wu! ”

Wu Wei snorted coldly, originally he was the Tai Lieutenant of Huaiguo, in charge of the Beijing Division and the eastern army, according to the position, his position was also above Sima Xiao, so he naturally would not take Sima Xiao in his eyes, not to mention that Wen Yan was just one of Sima Xiao's advisers.

"You took the initiative to come to me, how will it be detrimental to this official? If you can't say why this time, you will be guilty of disturbing the official's dreams! Wu Wei deliberately said this, wanting Wen Yan to think that he was resting, and then he was disturbed.

When Wen Yan heard it, he knew that Wu Wei's words were three hundred taels of silver here. Wu Wei was wearing armor, and from the time he rushed to the barracks to the time when Wu Wei came out to see him, the time was very short, if Wu Wei rested, he didn't have time to put on armor, he wouldn't wear armor to rest, right?
