Bai Liyan returned to the palace again to report to King Xian about Zhang Jie, and Ji Kang left the Yongxing Marquis Mansion and immediately went to the Prince's Mansion.

"The king, this eldest grandson's heart is higher than the sky, but his life is thinner than paper, he opens his mouth to swallow the two counties of Weiguo, and it should be more than that, but he wants to exchange three pieces of land for concessions from my country, it is shameless to the extreme."

"Then according to Aiqing's meaning, how many pieces of land should the widow ask for first?"

"Back to the king, you can ask for three more pieces of land in Sangnan and Sangbei, and at the same time pretend to take the three counties of Weiguo Dekang, Yuanshan, and Qiujun. Zhang Jie will definitely bargain, and in the end, the king should stick to the bottom line of the five pieces of land and the three counties of Weiguo, forcing Zhang Jie to compromise. In this way, if the eldest grandson is ordered to cede the land again, if he does not agree, my country will also take this as the middle policy and collect the three counties of Weiguo. ”

"Well......" King Xian nodded and thought deeply, but as soon as he heard that it was the middle policy, he was busy and thought of the next policy: "Listen to Aiqing's intentions, is there a next policy?" ”

"Yes, if you encounter pressure from external forces, in order to take into account the overall situation, you can only appropriately give up the interests at hand and seek a balance between the princes. However, this possibility is very small, and once the defense of the country is instantly defeated by us, then only our country will have the right to open its mouth, and there will be no room for other countries to lower their prices. But you still can't help but take precautions in advance, just in case. ”

"Well, I hope this decision will not be made, the widow does not want to waste money and food, and in the end he will give others the benefit of the fisherman and pick up the cheap. In addition, when is Aiqing going to arrange for Zhang Jie to meet the widow? ”

"The minister temporarily delayed it for a few days on the grounds that Taiwei was critically ill, and it really needed time to act secretly, otherwise it would be too smooth, and it would be easy for Zhang Jie to become suspicious and attract interference from other countries. Second, a few days of postponement will help Wei Guo send our country, according to the minister's calculations, Wei Guo should come next month, and the king had better make some preparations, so as not to be angry and hurt the Holy Body. ”

Gongliangxiu ordered someone to send the news back to China early in the morning, so that Gongliangwen and Gongliangchen's uncle and nephew could plan a deal with Weiguo. Although I don't know what benefits the Gongliang clan will get from trading from Weiguo, as long as I think of Gongliangxiu's face, most of them will not suffer.

At the same time, Xihuan got the news from Ji Kang that Bailiyan was promoting the dispatch of troops, but he was actually suspicious, and highly suspected that Bailiyan had set a trap for Ji Kang, and then asked Ji Kang to give her eye medicine.

"It was he Bailiyan who didn't send troops at the beginning, and now it's him Bailiyan who sent troops, and now the eldest grandson is defeated, and Weiguo is able to free up his hands to draw troops eastward, but he wants to send troops, is it possible that he Bailiyan is stupid."

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Bailiyan did not send troops to recuperate, and the troops were sent because of the huge consumption of national strength to defend the country. The subordinates thought that the combat power of the Xian army was far more than what they saw now.

According to the understanding of his subordinates, in recent years, a large number of people have moved into Wanchuan to cultivate land for Xianguo, and the tax is very low.

Moreover, the financial resources of the Xian country are unprecedentedly strong, and there are many industries, which can make more artillery. There are only 20 or 30 Wanshi warships stationed in Guangxin Military Port, each of which has more than 50 artillery pieces of various types.

Therefore, now it seems that Bai Liyan's strategy of delaying the army is extremely clever. ”

"Then is Wei Guo a fool, since it is Bailiyan's delaying tactics, why can you still believe him!"

"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is where Baili Yan is poisonous. According to the information learned by his subordinates, Wei Guo originally intended to end the war before the autumn of last year, but first encountered the death of the Son of Heaven, during which the war was truce for several months, and then Bailiyan secretly sold arms to Changsun, delaying the offensive of Wei Guo, which made the war drag on for a long time until this year.

The subordinates thought that the reason why Wei Guo was so relieved about the eldest grandson of the Northern Expedition was probably that there was a hidden secret. ”

"How can General Ji see that there is still a secret in it?"

"Your Highness should know that Bai Liyan once blackmailed the eldest grandson with 1,500 stone raw silk in exchange for taking out the soldiers, but the eldest grandson did not allow it. With Baili Yan's temperament, since he can blackmail his eldest grandson, he can also blackmail Wei Guo, so Wei Guo promised heavy profits in exchange for Bai Li Yan not sending troops.

But after that, Bailiyan suddenly changed his mind, and after King Xian sent troops, after King Xian refused, Bailiyan sold arms to the eldest grandson, so his subordinates judged that it must be that the country did not meet Bailiyan's request, and Bailiyan was dissatisfied and did so.

Now that the time is ripe, it is logical for Bailiyan to send troops to attack and defend. ”

Ji Jinsheng spoke in detail, and Xihuan felt reasonable:

This is reasonable, Bailiyan is extremely treacherous, and will definitely not do unprofitable things. So what should the palace do now, do you want to persuade Brother Wang to send troops? ”

"The king should be warned immediately, and once the defense of the country moves troops and horses to the west, the people should be recruited and sent in the country immediately, so as not to delay the warplane."

The territory limits the speed of the army's mobility, but also limits the transmission of information, the defense of the country in the middle of the country to gather heavy troops, convenient to the west, to the east at the same time to mobilize troops, coupled with the defense of the country horses abundant, the mobilization of troops handy, this is the great power to occupy the hinterland of the Central Plains of the greatest convenience, once the control of the central part of the Central Plains, to the east, to the west of the distance of troops reduced to half, grasp the strategic initiative.

On the contrary, the Jin State set out from the mainland to Qiguo, across the entire plate, and any mistake in the transmission of the news of the mobilization of troops and horses may stimulate the Weiguo to increase troops to the Weiqi border, which is not beneficial to the sudden dispatch of troops by the Jin State.

And based on this reason, Xianguo is closer to Weiguo, any wind and grass may attract the attention of Weiguo, because the Jin State is still far away from Qiguo, Weiguo will give priority to the main elite to gather to the east, and at the same time mobilize part of the troops and horses in detail, and urgently recruit conscripts from the mainland for training, and wait for the Jin military order to arrive, at least three or four months later, when Weiguo has completed the recruitment and preparation of new soldiers, and can go to the Weiqi border to assemble at any time.

Ji Jinsheng intends to take advantage of the mentality of the time difference between defending the country and making a plan in advance, instead of waiting until the eastern front is started, and then consider whether to send troops on the western front.

The next day, after the early dynasty dispersed, Bai Liyan did not attend the cabinet meeting and drove to the Dingyang Marquis Mansion to visit Zhang Jun. After three days of infusion, Zhang Jun's complexion has improved greatly, he has been able to get out of bed and walk, and his appetite has gradually increased, for which Zhang You is very grateful:

"My father's condition has improved a lot, and Zhang You has thanked Yongxing Hou for saving his life."

"Eh, Lord Zhang's words are serious, treating diseases and saving people is the foundation of a doctor, what is the effort of raising your hands, Lord Zhang quickly and get up."

Bai Liyan stepped forward to help Zhang You and went with him to visit Zhang Jun in the inner house. Zhang Jun's condition improved a little unexpectedly, to say that the effect of ice velvet is indeed powerful, and at the same time, advanced medical measures and conditions have also saved his life to a large extent, which was unimaginable before.

Zhang Jun was having dinner with the wife and concubine of the main room at this time, Bai Liyan was inconvenient to disturb and stayed outside, Zhang Jun still greeted him in person when he heard the news:

"I don't know that the Marquis of Yongxing is coming, and the old man has lost his welcome, and I hope that the Marquis of Yongxing will forgive me."

Ding Yang Hou wanted to make a big gift, but Bai Liyan hurriedly stepped forward to stop:

"Lord Taiwei has seen the outside, and he has no business trip here, but he is here for Lord Taiwei's illness. Since the adults are having dinner, I will come back when I am young. ”

"Yongxing Hou's life-saving grace, the old decay is toothless and unforgettable, how can you neglect Lord Si Nong, let's go to the old decay study and sit together."

"There is no state affairs today, Lord Taiwei should first use breakfast to replenish his strength, hunger is very harmful to the body, and I hope that Lord Taiwei will listen to this words, don't harm your own life."

"Alas...... That's good, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate. You'er, lead Yongxinghou to my study, and my father will go later. ”

"No!"

The study is a taboo place for large families, few outsiders can enter the master's study, Ding Yang Hou invited Baili Yan to the study, it can be seen that the mustard in the heart for many years has been untied.

Zhang Jun's study covers an area no smaller than Bailiyan's study, but there are really not many books, and there are a lot of playthings and luxury goods.

When he was young, Ding Yang Hou had breakfast and hurried to the study, and after years of illness, the majestic general had been tortured with sunken eye sockets and high convex cheekbones, and his beard was white and thin, completely losing the arrogant sharpness and disdainful stubbornness of the year.

After he sat down, Bai Liyan used a stethoscope to check his heart and lungs, the beating of his heart was very strong, and there was no murmur in his lungs, which made Bai Liyan inevitably have some worries, and the abnormal pulse afterwards also showed this.

The pulse is very heavy, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, it is the combination of the virtual and the real, and there is a thin vein, combined with the medication in recent days, the empirical evidence is known by the drug, but the disease is depressed in the inside, and the blood is trapped inside.

This means that the nutrients and active ingredients of the drug are not well converted into the substances required by the human body, on the contrary, due to deficiency, the weakness of the viscera and the serious shortage of qi and blood, which is not enough to transform the drug, and the faint mixed with the thin veins shows that the weakness of Zhang Jun's physique is highlighting its essential cause.

Taking all the factors into account, Bailiyan considered that it might be a return photo.

From a medical point of view, it is the final release of biological cell energy before the death of the human body, and stimulates the secretion of adrenaline to forcibly stimulate the work of weakened organs, accelerate the contraction of the heart, and make the blood pressure rise, this process lasts for a few hours and a day or two.

If drug treatment is intervened in time, this process may last longer, when the energy is completely released, the cells turn from prosperity to decay, physiological functions plummet, and life begins to enter the process of death.

Zhang Jun's mental state today is not only the factor of returning to the light, but also the common effect of Xianwang's reconciliation and medicine, which also shows that some special ingredients in ice velvet flowers do have a powerful effect.

After his pulse diagnosis was over, Zhang Jun couldn't wait to ask:

"Da Si Nong, how is the old age?"

Of course, as a doctor, the patient cannot tell the truth when asking such a question, lest the mental stimulation cause mood swings and accelerate the process of returning to light.

"Oh, Taiwei this disease is born from the heart, so it still needs to be recuperated for a long time, but always staying at home and not moving around, which is not conducive to the treatment of this disease, I suggest that Taiwei should accompany his family to walk around more in these two days, so it is of great benefit to the treatment of this disease."

Zhang Jun was very happy when he heard that his condition was fine:

"Lord Si Nong's wonderful hand rejuvenated, saving the old man's life, remembering the events of the year, the old man is deeply ashamed, alas, ......"

Zhang Jun sighed for a long time, Bailiyan was more nervous than him. Every time you sigh, you hurt your body once, and if you talk a few more breaths, it is half a life. They are busy saying:

"The things of the past have become a thing of the past, and now you and I are officials in the same dynasty, and we should abandon our previous suspicions for the interests of the Xian country. Although Lord Taiwei has done nothing in these years, he is deeply pleased that Lord Zhang can stick to his own views and safeguard the interests of the Xianguo in the face of major rights and wrongs.

In the following opinion, Lord Taiwei is worthy of the Xianguo and the king, and he has lived in vain for decades. ”

"Si Nong, I really think so!" Ding Yanghou asked solemnly, his eyes full of gratitude.

"This is a heartfelt statement, and there is absolutely no falsehood." Bai Liyan affirmed that it was also his true thoughts.
