Leaving the palace, Baili Yan and Wei Xian were invited to the Liang State Embassy's Mansion, and there was a plot of being a thief in his heart.

An Taihou was talking with Li Dai, the son of Jing Shanggong, in the inner house at this time, and when he heard the news that Baili Yan had come to the appointment, An Taihou was overjoyed.

"Brother in-law, Xianguo's really powerful character Wei Xian has arrived, but I am interested in making friends"

"That day in the Xianwang Palace is to see two eyes from afar, but I have never seen clearly, it is rumored that this son is omnipotent, sixteen-year-old debut is a heavy setback to Han He, in just three or two years of fame and fame in the Central Plains, it is rumored that the rebels who attacked the Changsun Kingdom are all heard of his name and changed color, I really want to know this son, how to get it."

"Alright, I'll invite him to the atrium."

When he was young, the steward led Bailiyan to the main hall of the atrium, An Taihou sat on the main seat, and under the seat on the right side sat a middle-aged man with a white-faced jade crown with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a straight nose with a thin silk brocade. Bai Liyan recognized at a glance that this person was the son of Jing Shanggong, the father of Li Yi, the husband of his sister Baili Yanjuan, and the eldest brother-in-law of Bai Liyan, Li Dai.

"Wei is polite here."

"Doctor Wei is exempt, this one shouldn't need to be introduced by Benhou."

"The well-known Lord Jingshang, Wei is polite."

Bailiyan gave a deep salute again, Li Dai said

"Doctor Wei doesn't have to be formal, please take a seat."

"Thank you."

It is quite troublesome to call Li Dai a powerful person with status at this age, if he is younger, he can be called a young lord or a son, a young general, and after he ascends the throne, he is called a duke, I am afraid that the heir is already very large, and there is no succession, it is very troublesome to call it, "Jing Shangzhu" is generally a neutral title.

Sitting down on the left seat, Li Dai's keen eyes carefully looked at Bailiyan, and then An Taihou asked tentatively

"Dr. Wei's outstanding achievements and talents are amazing, and he has been spread all over the country, and he is very admired by Benhou and Lord Jingshang."

"Hou Ye is too famous, Wei is here today to discuss the country's capital with Hou Ye, Hou Ye doesn't have to be so complimentary, you and I should get straight to the point."

"Hehe" An Taihou was a little embarrassed, exchanged his eyes with Li Dai, and then said, "Presumably, King Xian has explained in detail to Dr. Wei, I don't know what Xianguo wants"

"It's better to ask for others than for yourself, Pengyuan County, I'm afraid that my Xianguo will not be blessed, and the surrounding powers are like jackals, how can Xianguo take it. However, if the Son of Heaven can raise his hand and include the two counties of Sangnan and Sangbei into our Xianguo, our country can consider sending troops. ”

When Ji Tong heard the news, a look of shock jumped on his face

"Doctor Wei, Ben Hou heard me right."

"No, my Xianguo wants the land of Sangnan and Qiunan."

"The two places are owned by the eldest grandson country, how can you take them," Ji Tong said sharply.

"That Pengyuan County belongs to Sun Guo, how can I take it."

"As long as the nations send troops, everyone in the land of Sun Country will have it, but the Eldest Sun Country will no longer be in this list."

"Then my Xianguo can sit back and wait for the Changsun Kingdom to also be defeated by the rebels, and then it is not too late to send troops, I am afraid that it is not a land of two counties, but three counties, four counties and even five counties."

"Doctor Wei" Ji Tong's face sank, and he was quite displeased, "Xianguo is improving now, but only with the current national strength of Xianguo, it is far from the time to fight for hegemony, Doctor Wei is not afraid that the countries will attack it"

"If Xianguo takes Pengyuan County, can the nations stand by and watch Antaihou's words?"

"As long as Xianguo sends troops from behind, Sun Guo can give the king of Xian a letter of state, and everyone in the world can bully him."

"Hehe, not to mention that my Xianguo Qiunan County is still occupied by rebels, and the Zhiguo Gongliang army is stationed south of the border with Pengyuan County

Zhiguo sent troops to occupy Pengyuan County first, but our army had to face hundreds of thousands of rebels' main force to counterattack. How can a piece of paper allow Zhiguo to spit out the land he has swallowed and give it to our country. If such a trick has deceived my king, how can it be deceived by me? ”

"Doctor Wei, if Xianguo does not send troops, the army of our Liang State will immediately withdraw from the Yongxing River."

"That's good, anyway, the Liang State has not lost a single soldier in our Xian Country since the start of the war, and even if the troops are withdrawn, they can still free up our army's heavy baggage and people for Tuntian."

Ji Tong didn't give an inch, Bailiyan fought-for-tat, and the negotiations reached an impasse for a while. Seeing this, Li Dai hurriedly started a round

"Dr. Wei is a young hero, and he is so familiar with not wanting to talk about state affairs. An Taihou was ordered by the Son of Heaven, and Fang Cai was also a little anxious, so Doctor Wei didn't have to mind. ”

"An Taihou and Jing Shangzhu are both Liang Guo's humerus, celebrities in the world, how dare Wei mind. However, the world and the following countries are fighting, and the king is entrusted to Wei, and Wei does not dare to slack off for half a point, and hopes that the lord of Jing Shang will forgive him. ”

"What Dr. Wei said is extremely true, the princes are indeed friends of interests, but the Son of Heaven is the co-lord of the princes of all countries, and the lower states do not respect the upper states as good, isn't it disrespectful."

Li Dai's words were high-sounding, but Bai Liyan said disdainfully

"Lord Jing Shang's words are wrong, the state above my Xian country is the Jin country, and the state above the Jin country is the country of the Son of Heaven. If our Xian country is the state of the Son of Heaven, why did the state not extend a helping hand and abandon it back then, so how can the state of the Son of Heaven make a profit to my Xian country. ”

Li Dai really didn't expect Bailiyan to be so aggressive and sharp, and he didn't show any affection, and he was very embarrassed.

Li Dai knew that Liang was only a state in the political name of the vassal states, and there was neither a strong military force to enforce arbitration, nor any binding force, and the Central Plains was a chaotic political order under the mutual collapse of etiquette and happiness.

After a moment of silence, Li Dai's words changed to him

"I heard that Dr. Wei is also a disobedient person, I don't know where the ancestral home of the disciger country is, but there is still a family deceased."

Li Dai suddenly mentioned this, Bai Liyan didn't know what his intentions were, and his heart suddenly felt a little empty

"Wei is the ancestral home of Hantun Yuetian, when he was young, he moved to the Jin State with his family to do business, during the Battle of Jiangdong, the Qi people were demoted to the Jin State as a lowly status, my father and I were arrested and put into hard labor, my mother and sister are missing, my father died of the plague soon after, and there is no one in my hometown."

"Oh" Li Dai replied lightly, knowing that it was wrong, so he didn't answer. turned more and more that Bai Liyan and his son Li Yi and Mrs. Bai Lijuan were quite similar, "Looking at Dr. Wei today, there are some similarities between Dr. Wei and Neizi and my son, and the ancestor of Dr. Wei also has the lineage of King Qi." ”

Hearing this, Bai Liyan chuckled mentally, and before he could speak, Ji Tong's eyes lit up, and he said

"Like, it's really like, why didn't Ben Hou find out that General Wei and his nephew looked the same before, and he was more like his brother-in-law."

It is said that the nephew is like an uncle, not out of a mold, and it is not like a ghost.

However, Bai Liyan's heart was beating wildly at this time, and he said busily

"An Taihou and Lord Jing Shang have exalted Wei, the Wei family is not a branch of King Qi, they are both Qi people, there is always a little similarity, it is really insignificant."

"Although Doctor Wei said this, it is indeed too similar" Ji Tong stroked his short beard thoughtfully, and then turned his gaze to Li Dai and said, "Brother in-law, Mrs. and nephew are still in the palace and have not returned, it is better to invite General Wei to come over the palace another day, and let Mrs. see how it is"

"Well, that's exactly what I mean. Dr. Wei is the same age as my son, so why don't you worship my son as brothers?"

Li Dai proposed, Baili Yan was startled, how could there be a reason for his uncle and nephew to worship their sons

"Wei is not talented, how dare he form a righteous alliance with Li Gongzi, this matter must not be, forgive Wei for not obeying his fate. In the afternoon, Wei still had government affairs in his body, so he couldn't stay for a long time, so he left. ”

After speaking, Bailiyan stood up, bowed to the two, and prepared to leave. Li Dai said at this time

"General Wei, there is a matter of sadness for many years, I don't know if General Wei can tell the inside story"

"I don't know what Lord Jing Shang is referring to"

"It is rumored that Baili Yan, the second son of Qiguo, was killed by the Xian army, but there is such a thing"

Bai Liyan was stunned, and hurriedly covered up her gaffe and said

"After Gongzi Yan died in the battle of Weidan Hanhe Jiulipo, from the end of this battle to the siege of Yin Yangcheng, the Jin army was like a bamboo, and Gongzi Yan was in the wounded camp of the Jin army, how could he be killed by the Xian army."

Soon after Bailiyan's disappearance, the Jin State went to Qiguo for a funeral in the name of Bailiyan being killed by the Xian army, which was used as an excuse to forcibly garrison the troops in Qiguo to this day, and Qiguo and Xianguo also began to fight each other. Bai Lijuan came to Xianguo, and most of them also came to inquire about this matter.

When he was young, Baili Yan left the house, and Ji Tong suddenly became suspicious

"Brother-in-law, if Gongzi Yan had lived until now, he would be as old as Wei Xian."

"Brother-in-law doesn't want to say that Wei Xian is Gongzi Yan?"

"It seems unlikely." Ji Tong was noncommittal, and then continued, "It is rumored that Gongzi Yan worships under Saiqian's door, but his personality is cowardly, if he has half of Wei Xian's talent, he will not be poisoned by the Jin State." However, Wei Xian is too similar to his wife and nephew, is it a coincidence?"

"Yes, if Wei Xian is Gongzi Yan, what does he want to do when he stays in Xianguo, how can Xihuan not recognize him?"

Wei Xian's idea that Bai Liyan was quickly ruled out by Li Dai.

First, he hadn't seen Bai Liyan himself before that. Second, if Wei Xian was Bailiyan and still set off such a huge change in Xianguo, Xihuan should have noticed the abnormality at the beginning of his marriage in Xianguo, and he couldn't say anything reasonable. Third, and the most criticized, Bailiyan has never had a good reputation under the agitation of public opinion in the Jin Kingdom, which is in stark contrast to Wei Xian.

Considering many factors, Li Dai categorically did not believe that Bailiyan would be Wei Xian.

After a few days of calm in Chenling, Bailiyan personally went to Xijun to discuss in detail the plan to build a new city as the screen of the Yongxing River, and coincidentally Zhao Xun was also planning to plan for the future recovery of Xianxi and Chunan counties. The two hit it off and prepared to build a new city between Shaoping and Yongxing River, which is undoubtedly the best springboard for the south of Qiunan County.

As a result, in May, the Xian army began to plan the new city, and the negotiations with An Taihou were intermittent, and the Liang state was unwilling to make concessions, and the plan to send troops to attack Shao Ping could not be carried out.

By mid-May, bad news had come in waves, and the worst news was the war reports from the South. In order to alleviate the pressure of logistics and supply, Yuke and Song abandoned two cities one after another, moved all the population, and continued to retreat north.
