While thinking about it, someone outside the house entered the room, it was Zhao Xun's son Zhao Huan. Zhao Xun got married very late, and he was away from home in his early years, so he got a son very late.

Zhao Huan was educated in Yongxing City in his early years, and was the beneficiary of the first batch of new education, in view of the fact that mathematics courses were not yet offered at that time, he entered the armed battalion to study basic mathematics as an adult, and then transferred to the artillery department and logistics department for further study, and was deeply influenced by modern military thought.

"Deputy Marshal Qiqi, a patriotic ship appeared on the river, asking to go ashore and enter the city, and the marshal asked the deputy marshal to go to the west gate immediately."

"Oh, it seems that the guards came to make peace. Please go back first, and Ben Shuai will go immediately. ”

"No!"

After Zhao Huan left, Bai Liyan and Wei Qi said

"Go and bring the horses, and follow me to Simon."

"No!"

The declaration of war against Wei took place at the end of June, and Lu Jia wanted to send the news back to Weidu, without Qianli Yuejian BMW, it would take more than a month to make a trip. However, the official road of Xianguo was blocked, and it could only take the Zhiguo detour, which took more than two months to make a round trip, and with the decision-making and delay, it was not surprising that the envoy arrived at the border in mid-to-late September.

What makes Bai Liyan suspicious is what kind of bargaining chips Wei Guo can have this time to force Xianguo to compromise, at least it is impossible for him to cut the land, and it seems impossible to spit out the seven counties of the eldest grandson that have been swallowed, since it is impossible, what will they do to negotiate.

When riding a horse to the West Gate, a group of 1,000 town troops lined up and waited in the West Gate, Zhao Xun stood at the head of the city and watched the situation on the river, a 3,000-stone ship defending the country was guarded by four 5,000-stone warships, and was stopped by two 5,000-stone gunboats of the Xian Army 200 steps away from the shore and could not advance or retreat.

"Zhao Shuai, do you know who is the envoy of the country?"

Zhao Xun put down the binoculars and said

"Governor Wei Shi Wubin, I have already sent a message to him, and only one of his boats will be docked, and the rest will not wait to get closer."

Changshi is the prime minister's subordinate officer, in short, a senior secretary, responsible for the approval and transfer of important documents in the central department, and can also handle important documents independently.

Most of the time, the long history can be corrected for the Xiangguo, such as Gao Xun, who has been the Changshi for more than ten years and the Xiangguo is suspended, I am afraid that he is also the first person in history.

The function of Wei Guo's long history is no different from that of the Central Plains countries, and the dispatch of Changshi also shows the importance that Wei Wang attaches to the war on the Eastern Front.

After waiting for about two moments, the four warships of the Patriotic Republic stopped two hundred paces away from the shore, and Wu Bin's ship slowly sailed to the shore under the protection of a 5,000-stone gunboat of the Xian Army.

Since Yangdu City was ten miles away from the river, Wu Bin landed on the shore and galloped into the city on horses provided by the Xian army. Zhao Xun and Bai Liyan went down to the ground and waited at the west gate to wait for Wu Bin to enter the city.

After a while, the horse's hooves were in a hurry, Wu Bin entered from the west gate under the protection of the Xian army, because he did not recognize Zhao Xun and Bailiyan, Wu Bin also planned to rush all the way to the city, but was stopped at the west gate by Zhao Xun's guards.

"Quick, take the envoy to meet your boss!"

At this time, all the Xianjun troops stepped forward and said

"No need Lord Wu, the commander of our army is already waiting at the west gate, please dismount Lord Wu."

Wu Bin was surprised when he heard the news, but he hid the shock in his heart, and pretended to be calm and said

"Alright, take the envoy with you."

Turning over and dismounting, Wu Bin and several escorts followed Nadutong to a tea shed, Zhao Xun and Bai Liyan sat during the period, and there were some crude tea sets on a small square table. Baili Yan looked at the guards who came from afar, the leader was thirty-five or sixteen in brocade robes, with black hair and ruddy face, and at a glance he knew that the nutrition was very good, and he must have been a long history Wu Bin undoubtedly.

When he walked in, he saw two extraordinary people sitting under the grass shed, Wu Bin immediately knew that the one with white hair must be Zhao Xun, and the other person looked at his radiant face and handsome beard, not like the appearance of a salt owl, Wu Bin expected that this person should be Baili Yan. Then he stepped forward and gave a deep salute

"Wei Governor Shi Wubin has seen two generals, and he dares to ask which one is Zhao Sima."

Although he was very clear in his heart, Wu Bin didn't dare to hold it up, so he still asked it clear first, so as not to be played by the Xianjun.

At this time, Zhao Xun answered

"Ben Shuai is, if your Excellency is here to make peace, please go back."

"Zhao Sima didn't know the intention of the envoy, so he refused to say peace, if such an arbitrary act leads to a tragedy, I am afraid that it will hurt the general's reputation, and the general might as well listen to a certain word and refuse it is not too late."

"Hmph, you have only been defending the country and entering the Central Plains for a few years, but you have raised troops to attack the princes. Two years ago, I deceived my king and pretended to be good, but he disregarded the interests of our country and invaded Fangling and other places, intending to contain our downstream and seek an opportunity to attack me in the future. ”

Zhao Xun had a tough attitude, but this Wu Bin had no fear and continued to talk to himself

"General Zhao, you and I originally had no trouble with the river water from the well, and we had nothing to do with each other for many years, but now it is some misunderstanding that the soldiers are meeting each other. If your country insists on attacking us, although our country cannot stop it, your country has no chance of winning.

This envoy does not hide from General Zhao, my king has reached an agreement with King Zhi a month ago to cede Dekang to Zhiguo, so from today on, Dekang County is no longer our land, if your country attacks me, it is an enemy of Zhiguo, General Zhao can think twice before acting. ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Liyan and Zhao Xun were shocked, and Bai Liyan suddenly thought that he had fallen into the evil deeds of the Gongliang clan. Gongliang leaked the news to Wei Guo, but he underestimated that he was in cahoots with Wei Guo.

Xianguo leads to Dekang only one county of Ganfu, which borders on the Sishui River, to the south is Changyin County of Zhiguo, and to the north is Changsun Qingtian County, and the Ganfu Plain is sandwiched between the two counties. The core of this dispatch was in Ganfu, and the Xian army had no intention of sending troops from Changsun.

It is not in line with the strategic interests of the Xian army, and there is no doubt that he will hand over his rear to the unreliable eldest grandson, if he does something behind him, the Xian army will be extremely passive, so it is safest for the Xian army to send troops from Ganfu.

But if Dekang falls into the hands of Zhiguo, and it remains neutral, the westward passage of the Xian army will be wiped out, and in the end it can only be forced to bypass the eldest grandson, and what is even more vicious is that the Xianguo cannot be connected to the west by water and land, even if it can cut off the land of the country in the future, it is also an enclave.

At this time, Wu Bin saw that Zhao Xun and Bai Liyan's faces had changed greatly, and his face suddenly showed a trace of pride

"General Zhao, be cautious."

"Humph!" Zhao Xun slammed his palm on the table and shouted angrily: "Let's see, send off guests!" ”

Wu Bin immediately showed his vicious fangs when he heard the news, he said

"Zhao Sima, I hope you will think twice before acting, and this envoy will leave!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Bin walked away, and the angry Zhao Xun's face was black and his hair was raised. When he left, Zhao Xun and Bai Liyan said

"Vice Marshal Baili, how true is what Wu Bin said?"

"His words should be true, with the ambition of the country and the scheming of the Gongliang clan, he will definitely not sit idly by and watch the expansion of our country, so he will definitely do this situation. However, Wei Guo should not give up Dekang easily, and Zhiguo must have paid some price. And when our country is about to send troops, Zhiguo accepts such a hot potato, and I am afraid there are other clues in this. ”

"What is the best way to break this dilemma?"

"According to the following opinion, since Wei Guo and Zhi Guo are in cahoots to curb our army's westward passage, Zhi Guo must not want our country to expand the land, and Wei Guo's calculation is to prevent our country from advancing westward, which is probably Liang Guo's calculations, which must want to force our country to send troops through Changsun, and then let Changsun control the logistics and transfer of our army, and then control the lifeblood of our army, so that in the future negotiations will make our king fall into passivity, and then nothing can be gained.

Based on the above points, I believe that before Zhiguo takes over Dekang, we should launch an offensive on all fronts in advance, seize Dekang as soon as possible, stop the Zhijun army from going north, and at the same time report the news to the king as soon as possible to make the worst plan. ”

"What if Zhiguo treacherously attacks me?"

"This ......," Bai Liyan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not very likely, the armpit people are about to go south, and the royal guests will not sit idly by and watch the defeat of the Xian Kingdom, and will definitely intervene forcefully or even send troops directly."

Second, the ambition is not endless, at this time, attacking me can only make one side bigger, whether it is for the Gongliang clan or the Tao clan, only one person can benefit, and the other side will inevitably be excluded, so they dare not move lightly. Moreover, this time to take over Dekang, it should be the soldiers and horses of the Gongliang clan, since it has already won a county, the Tao clan will never let it attack the Xianguo territory again to make profits, and the Gongliang clan will never want to see the Tao take advantage of the emptiness of the Xianguo to make profits, so the Zhiguo will not send troops to attack.

Third, our army attacked and defended with the power of thunder, and Zhiguo had to weigh the consequences of provoking our army.

In the end, after the completion of the Xianguo, it is impossible for the Jin State to sit back and watch the Zhiguo divide the benefits of the Xianguo, and the Jin State will definitely send troops to fight for it, and the Zhiguo may not be able to get much cheaper at that time, not to mention that Yongxing City is producing guns day and night, and the king's forbidden army is equipped with new weapons, and they are only waiting for them with stormy guns, so why not be afraid that he will attack me. ”

"Well, the deputy marshal has a point, but you still have to guard against it. According to Ben Shuai, 100,000 people should be immediately dispatched to the capital county to complete the plan. ”

"Agree below. In this case, the commander-in-chief of the whole army was immediately summoned to Yangdu to arrange the attack and defense plan. ”

Wu Bin probably didn't expect that his momentary pride would become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Agreed with Zhao Xun on the offensive and defensive plan, and Bai Liyan immediately returned to the other courtyard to tell Zong Botai the news and ask for his opinion.

Ben Hou thought that Wei Guo let Dekang let Zhiguo take over, among which Liang Guo must have connected the two from it, but he couldn't think of it, because Wei Guo has always eaten people and did not spit out bones, it is really more difficult for him to spit it out than to ascend to the sky, what conditions can Zhiguo exchange for Wei Guo to be willing to give up this piece of fertile land in Dekang. What does the gentleman think? ”

"In fact, Hou Ye also said that if Zhiguo and Weiguo can reach a deal, there must be Liang Guo in tandem. Under the audacity of speculation, this should be the case.

It is obviously impossible for Wei Guo to attack Changsun Qijun County, and it is obviously impossible for Wei Guo to spit it out, but if he swallows all the land and does not let it, the princes will not agree. Therefore, Wei Guo should return the three or four counties of Changsun as a condition, and Liang Guo will mediate and persuade the two countries to make peace.

But if the eldest grandson is willing to give up the three counties, he obviously will not agree, so he needs to make up for it from other places, so Wei Guo and the eldest grandson joined forces again, Wei Guo borrowed the road from the eldest grandson to attack my Xianguo, and the Jin State attacked my Jiangdong from the east, so that the southwest of the eldest grandson lost three counties, and he could get back from our country.

Zhiguo sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and Liang Guo came forward to persuade Wei Guo to give up Dekang, and then first blocked the road of China's westward expansion, and then forced our country to borrow the road to Changsun to go north, deceiving the main force of our army into its territory, and then cut off the grain road, and was surrounded and annihilated by the Wei army.

Therefore, as long as the main force of our army is surrounded and annihilated by Wei Guo, and Wei Guo gives up a county in exchange for a compromise with Zhiguo, he will agree, and Zhiguo only needs to give some money and goods, and Wei Guo will not return empty-handed. But Zhiguo only thought that he could make a profit by sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but he didn't know that Liang Guo intended to completely annihilate the main force of our army.

Once our army is destroyed, the result can only be that the Wei army, the Zhi army, and the Jin army converge in Beihai, and the three major vassal states will fight each other endlessly, and the only one who can benefit is the Liang state. Therefore, this plan is a serial plan, counting the five major princes, and the slightest carelessness will be lost. ”

Zong Botai's words were cold, and he said in a deep voice

"According to Mr. 's meaning, the eldest grandson and Wei Guo asked me for help and made peace, but on the other hand, under the mediation of Liang Guo, they discussed how to use this to kill my Xianguo for a scam."

"Yes, Lord Hou should not forget that the three factions of the Eloquent Dao, the Foolish Sect, and the Honest Dao Sect are clearly fighting each other, but they are actually colluding with each other, and now it seems that these three factions are only for one purpose, and they do everything possible to make the princes fight and make the Liang State profitable. I dare to speculate that these three factions may have been one faction from the beginning, but they are just covering up people's eyes and ears under the banner of different sects. ”

Bai Liyan was silent, and Zong Botai said again

"Master Hou thought of his previous life?"

Bai Liyan looked at him in surprise and did not deny it

"Yes, I thought of some things in my previous life, and I felt a little familiar. But it may not be easy for the world to believe it. ”

"Hou Ye doesn't have to be so worried, this world gives birth to all things, all things give birth to yin and yang, there is both yin and yang, there are shock waves, and yin must give birth to yang, yang is outside yin, yin and yang are excited, thunder and lightning, wind and rain are tilted back and forth in all seasons, this is the common sense of the world is irreversible. If the Hou Ye is stubborn, he will be bound by this in the future, and everything should be treated leniently in order to deal with it calmly. ”

"What does that mean, sir, let it run its course?"

"Yin is lacking and yang is supplemented, which is both a conspiracy and a lie. He told a lie, that is, he wanted to make up other lies to justify himself, and the Chengdao faction ruled the world with conspiracy and deceit, and it will one day be counterattacked.

Now that Hou Ye is shaking the world with the power of thunder, this move of the Chengdao faction is tantamount to shaking the tree by a mayfly, and it is difficult to achieve great things in the world. In the event that no one from the princes of the next country dares to take a dangerous step, the marquis can let go of his hands and feet in this battle. ”

"What Mr. means is that our army will drop ten times with one force, and four or two thousand catties!"

"Well...... Zong Botai pondered for a long time and shook his head, "It's not all, but Hou Ye's sentence 'one force will drop ten times, four or two thousand catties' is not false, it is indeed miraculous, but it can break the trickery of the Taoist sect." ”

Bailiyan actually did not comprehend the true meaning of Zong Botai, but now these are no longer important, the important thing is that from this moment on, the balance of victory has tilted to the east, and the pace of reunification is unstoppable.
