Cheng Yin read the letter carefully, and as he expected, it was a very simple joint letter, which described in detail the benefits that the two sides could get from the union and the Su Fuyan Department.

Not to mention that Qiu Liju is really courageous, it said that if the two sides succeed, they will give Liaodong, Liaodong vassal states, and the three counties of Liaoxi to Su Fuyan.

Although there are many counties in Youzhou, these three counties account for nearly half of Youzhou's rivers and mountains. "This Qiu Liju is really bold. I was not afraid that Su Fuyan's department would take the opportunity to expand. Cheng Yin stroked his beard and said, with such generous conditions, Su Muyan will definitely agree. At this time, Youzhou was calm, they didn't dare to act rashly, if something happened in Youzhou, these two hungry wolves would definitely take the opportunity to bite Zhao Yi fiercely.

"The relationship between the Lord's Qiu Li Residence Department and Su Fuyan's Department is ambiguous, whether or not an alliance has been formed, we must be prepared." Cheng Yin admonished Zhao Yi.

In the past two months, under the governance of Zhao Yi, Youzhou has gradually had a trend of peace and prosperity, but it is still unstable at this time, and Youzhou does not have enough people to kill Qiu Liju and Su Fuyan's subordinates. The only way is to borrow troops from Jizhou Mu Zhu Jun, combine the people of the two states, and defeat the Wuhuan tribe in one fell swoop. If he didn't borrow troops from Zhu Jun, Zhao Yi could only choose to cooperate with Nanlou, although Zhao Yi and Nanlou were in a relationship with Weng's son-in-law, but it involved this kind of major event. Even if there is a family relationship between the two, it must be linked to interests.

It is estimated that when Zhao Yi came to Nanlou to talk about unity, Nanlou would say with a smile: "Virtuous son-in-law, I heard that Qiu Liju actually gave the three counties of western Liaoning to Su Muyan in order to unite Su Fuyan with himself. Should you also give me some benefits? ”

If you want to empty the white wolf in the difficult building, Zhao Yi doesn't even think about it, Su Fuyan, a Wuhuan tribe with no more than a thousand people, can still get the land of the three counties. As the most powerful Wuhuan tribe, even if Zhao Yi has a relationship here, if he wants to ask Zhao Yi for two counties, how can Zhao Yi agree.

It's better to ask for others than for yourself, and it's better to deal with the Wuhuan tribe by yourself. Zhao Yi looked at Cheng Yin: "Mr. can read things from the letter?" ”

Zhao Yi's words made Cheng Yin very strange, the letter had already been said in detail, and he had already finished talking about the precautions, why did Zhao Yi still have this question, shook his head and said he didn't know.

Zhao Yixin said that he still overestimated Cheng Yin, he was not a minister, so he naturally couldn't understand the meaning of the letter, seeing the confused look on Cheng Yin's face, Zhao Yi didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, but said what he saw. Judging from the content of the letter, the correspondence between Qiu Liju and Su Muyan is not something that has just happened, and Qiu Liju did not have too many words with Su Muyan in the letter, but directly cut to the topic, only explaining the matter of ceding land, from this point of view, Su Muyan has decided to unite with Qiu Liyan's residence department, and the previous conversation has ended, and they are distributing benefits. We intercepted this news too late. Zhao Yi sighed, maybe Qiu Liju has been planning this matter since he came back from the Nanlou tribe, and at this time the preliminary preparations have been completed, and this negotiation is estimated to have been going on for a while, otherwise Qiu Liju would never have given the three county towns to Su Muyan without opening his mouth.

After Zhao Yi told Cheng Yin and the others about the situation he guessed, Cheng Yin and Murong Fu's faces changed, and they said that the situation at this time was even worse than they imagined, Cheng Yin said: "Now that the two sides have decided to unite, we can no longer defend so passively, but should take the initiative to attack, first annihilate the weak Su Fuyan Army, and then deal with Qiu Liju." Cheng Yin, who has always been benevolent, also moved to kill at this moment, "The situation in Youzhou is so bad, if we don't pick a tough battle to fight, the Yi tribes outside the country will definitely embarrass us again in the future." That's where we can build up. ”

Cheng Yin's words were affirmed by Dian Wei, although Zhao Yi's strategy was good, he drove the tiger and devoured the wolf to plunge the overseas ministries into chaos, and he reaped the benefits of the fisherman. But only this kind of trick will not succeed, there must be light and dark, and the bright side is supplemented by the dark side, so that the relaxation can be invincible.

Youzhou Mu, who has been doing it for so long, although he has frequently succeeded in his secret calculations, Zhao Yi has never won a victory on the front. For Zhao Yi, a tough battle must be fought, he not only has to rely on that battle to deter the surrounding Yi tribes, but also to rely on this battle to clean up the scattered hearts of the people in Youzhou. But in this battle, Zhao Yi did not plan to fight with the Wuhuan tribe. To deal with the two hidden dangers of Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, Zhao Yi determined the action plan from the beginning, that is, to pull one by one. And Zhao Yi had already made up his mind from the beginning to take the Wuhuan tribe for his own use, because the Wuhuan tribe was different from the Xianbei tribe, the Wuhuan tribe had moved inward for many years, and was deeply influenced by the Han people, so it was easier to integrate into the Han nationality than the Xianbei tribe.

It is not difficult to concentrate superior forces to eliminate Su Muyan's department, but if Zhao Yi really makes a move and uproots Su Muyan's department, it will definitely be because of the same hatred and hatred of the Wuhuan departments in Youzhou, and because of the relationship between Wen and Qin, the Nanlou department may not join forces with Qiu Liju to make a move against Zhao Yi, but he will definitely be very dissatisfied with Zhao Yi's actions, and the relationship with Wuhuan that he has just maintained with great difficulty will have cracks, and even conflicts will break out.

That would be more than worth the loss. Zhao Yi did not hide what he thought in his heart, but told Cheng Yin and the others about it.

Cheng Yin and the others nodded, Zhao Yi's strategy was good. It is indeed a good way to use the Wuhuan cavalry to raze the elite cavalry of the Xianbei Division, "But although the adult's strategy is good, but at present, Su Muyan and Qiu Liju have become united, how should we act?" "There is nothing for the two sides to unite, but the purpose of their union is to deal with Youzhou, how can this work. Even if Zhao Yi didn't want to fight with Su Fuyan, there must be measures to stop it, and he couldn't watch the two departments form an alliance.

Zhao Yi groped his chin in the hall and walked back and forth, his gloomy face slowly turned clear: "You don't have to worry, the success or failure of this matter lies with General Gao Shun." "If Gao Shun can complete the task excellently, then Zhao Yi will have a way to cause internal turmoil in Qiu Liju's department, and where will Qiu Liju still have the energy to contact Su Fuyan at that time.

Dian Wei said angrily: "Although the adult's plan is good, it is not enjoyable to swallow warm water. ”

Cheng Yin and Dian Wei's radical ideas are different, but the meaning is similar: "There will always be a day when this kind of conspiracy will run out of skills, and we had better come up with a solution once and for all." ”

Uprooting the Wuhuan tribe is a solution once and for all. But then Youzhou will definitely be defeated, Zhao Yi was thinking of a way, when he saw Wen Qin coming over, Zhao Yi's eyes flashed, and he slapped his palm violently: "Why didn't I think of this method before!" ”

Zhao Yi's mood changed too quickly, which startled Wen Qin and the others and looked at Zhao Yi in surprise, Zhao Yi realized his gaffe, and laughed twice to dispel the embarrassing atmosphere: "The official has a plan for this matter, please rest assured." ”

Cheng Yin, Dian Wei and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes, Zhao Yi actually thought of a countermeasure so quickly? Cheng Yin didn't ask or doubt, they had known Zhao Yi for many days, so they naturally knew that Zhao Yi was not the kind of person who had no purpose.

At this time, Gao Shun and Zhou Ping, who were in the Qiuliju tribe, were repairing the carriage as soon as possible, and Gao Shun's mission had been completed. Naturally, he also wanted to leave here quickly and return to Youzhou as soon as possible to report to Zhao Yi.

"Hurry up and round that piece of wood." Gao Shun commanded the soldiers, and now he was in the same mood as Zhou Ping the day before yesterday, and he was like an arrow.

was summoned by Qiu Liju in the early morning, and Zhou Ping was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground when he came back. But when it was close to noon, Zhou Ping saw the wine and food sent by Qiu Liju's order with a smile on his face, and his heart, which was beating wildly, finally stabilized. Qiu Liju treated himself as a VIP, and his attitude was different from that of this morning, at this time Zhou Ping was not panicked, but replaced by Gao Shun.

"General Gao, it seems that we have already frightened Qiu Liju, so there is no need to be in such a hurry." Seeing Qiu Liju treating himself so politely, Zhou Ping's heart relaxed.

Looking at the sun in the sky, Gao Shun waved his hand to let the soldiers put down their work and eat first, hearing Zhou Ping's words, Gao Shun said: "Sir, don't take it lightly, the Wuhuan tribe is full of Qiu Liju's spies, and the slightest negligence in words will make us die without a place to bury." "At the moment, they are like birds in a cage, allowing others to watch, but there is no way to stop them." After all, it's not its own territory. ”

After listening to Gao Shun's words, Zhou Ping nodded: "General Gao is reasonable. "This is the Wuhuan tribe, since Qiu Liju can raise them, he can naturally kill them.

Under the supervision of Zhou Ping and Gao Shun, in the early morning of the second day, the carriage was finally ready. Gao Shun and the others did not stay in the Wuhuan tribe for a long time, but quickly left here.

Qiu Liju attaches great importance to Zhou Ping, and when he learned the news that Zhou Ping was leaving, he personally sent Zhou Ping out of the tribe, looking at the full amount of leather, Qiu Liju's eyes flashed, and secretly said that Zhou Ping, a profiteer, had exchanged a few bottles of perfume for so much of his leather. But on the surface, Qiu Liju still had to maintain a happy look, and warmly invited Zhou Ping to come again next time.

Zhou Ping and Gao Shun coped with two sentences and left here, walked out of Wuli to join Fan Yang's elite soldiers, Gao Shun and Zhou Ping exhaled deeply, and the hanging heart finally let go.

Gao Shun beckoned a soldier: "Hurry up and go to Youzhou and tell Master Zhao Yi that it's done." "There are still hundreds of miles to go to Youzhou, and Gao Shun has to help Zhou Ping escort the grain and grass back. can only send soldiers to Youzhou to report the situation first, as for the mysterious person he saw that night, Gao Shun did not tell the soldiers, such a top-secret matter is naturally to tell Zhao Yi in person.

The soldier went all the way to the dust, running for three days and four nights in a row, and finally arrived in Youzhou in the early morning of this day. ”

The concise language caused a strong shock in Zhao Yi's heart, "The soldiers are hard, please go down and rest first." Zhao Yi warmly beckoned the soldier to go down, and then asked Cheng Yin to give the soldier three hundred taels of silver, it was the soldier's mouth that brought good news to Zhao Yi, these four words alone are worth three hundred taels.

Zhao Yi walked into the inner hall and saw that Wen Qin was looking at the soldiers, and he had already walked over with a relaxed pace, but he was still discovered by Wen Qin, raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yi, and frowned lightly: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"There is no major event in the state capital these days, can you go to your father-in-law's tribe with me?"

He knew Zhao Yi too well about Wen Qin, and he was the kind of person who would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so he asked tentatively: "What happened to my father's tribe?" ”
