The Liang army bypassed Yuyang and won a big victory fifty miles away, when the news came, Ma Wei couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and punched the old eunuch Gao Shengze in the shoulder.

Gao Shengze burst into tears of pain, and said happily: "Congratulations to King Liang, congratulations to ......"

"Go and call Xu Ji!"

Gao Shengze wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw King Liang raise his fist again, he hurriedly ran out of the tent, and while walking, he muttered in his mouth: "Xu Ji, Xu Ji, I really don't know what is good about him, in terms of loyalty, he can't even catch up with my skin, so he asked me to invite ...... in person."

In front of the tent, Gao Shengze became peaceful, no matter what, King Liang was still fair, and arranged Xu Ji, who was only willing to offer advice and was unwilling to offer loyalty, in an ordinary tent, there was almost nothing in it except the bed, the early winter had arrived, Xu Ji was still wearing his old robe, the cold wind blew, and his face became more and more pale.

Gao Shengze smiled: "King Liang is invited." ”

"Liang Jun wins?"

"I just ask Mr. Xu to come over, I shouldn't talk about anything else, I can't talk nonsense."

Xu Ji smiled, knowing that the old eunuch didn't like him, and he also knew that his guess would never be wrong.

Ma Wei had returned to normal, sat behind the bookcase and read the official documents, and only after a long time did he raise his head and say to Xu Ji: "You should be very familiar with the county lord of Huanyan, right?" ”

"I've seen a few times, and King Liang has also seen it."

"Well, when she went out of the city to negotiate peace with me in person, it was very surprising to me, Tiancheng collapsed, she is a female streamer, and she can actually hold on to it until now, and she can be regarded as a strange woman."

"After all, we can't beat the general trend."

Ma Wei snorted coldly, "The general trend, the general trend, what do you say every day, I used to believe it, but now if you want me to say, that is the excuse of the cowardly, if you really want to conform to the general trend, no one will rebel, everyone surrenders to Shan Yu, and my Liang is not the time to turn over and recover." ”

"Emperor Longxing must go against the trend." Gao Shengze answered excitedly, "Emperor Zhang Xi and Emperor of All Things are all like this. ”

"Strength and weakness, difficulty and ease, are not the whole content of the general trend." Xu Ji smiled.

Ma Wei didn't ask, and his tone suddenly became calm, "It is said that the county lord has always been deeply favored by Emperor Zhang Xi and Emperor Wanwu, and he must have learned a lot from the two emperors. ”

"I think so."

Ma Wei stared at Xu Ji, "Did you ever want to marry her?" ”

"Where did King Liang hear the rumors?"

"It's not that I heard it, but I saw it, in retrospect, since you wrote that article for Zhou Lu in the Lure Academy, you have been quite appreciated by the county lord, even if you assassinated the Emperor of All Things, she didn't pursue it, but sent you to escape from the Eastern Capital, at that time, we met outside Mengjin City, and you have a few books in your baggage, which she gave away, right? What about those books? ”

"In Siguo Valley, I am a gentleman's friend with the county lord of Huanyan."

Gao Shengze couldn't help laughing, "A lonely man and a widow, how can you get a gentleman's friendship?" I know that the descendants of the Zhang family have been favored by the emperor of all things, not to mention the difference between men and women, the distinction between respect and inferiority, and the excessive play during the day, and the indulgence in drinking and carnival at night, especially the county lord of Huanyan, we see it in our eyes, and we all say ......"

Gao Shengze closed his mouth, and suddenly realized that he had made a serious mistake, King Liang talked about the county lord of Huanyan, not hostility and contempt, but appreciation and admiration, the words he just said, not a word catered to King Liang's heart.

Ma Wei's face was gloomy.

Gao Shengze raised his hand and slapped his mouth, "Let you talk nonsense, the county lord can support the entire Tiancheng Imperial Court by himself, how can it be ......?"

"Get out." Ma Weidao.

didn't get beaten, Gao Shengze was grateful, turned around and ran out.

"Please come over to Mr. Sun, the envoy of Yuyang." Mavi added.

Waiting for the old eunuch to disappear, Ma Wei said: "The people who are behind the sentence actually have some skills, but it's a pity that they have stayed in the palace for too long, and they have forgotten their original intentions for a long time, and they just want to figure out the meaning of the master." ”

"Liang Jun's victory?" Xu Ji asked.

"Oh, I almost forgot, the news just came, the Liang army won a big victory, more than half of the Liaodong soldiers were annihilated and captured, and the rest fled to the outside of the Saiwai, the checkpoint was all in the hands of the Liang army, and the Huangfu rank also became a prisoner, and it will be sent soon, and the people of Liaodong are no longer a big problem."

"If there is no help from Yuyang, the Liang army can win this big victory, and the king of Liang ......"

Before Xu Ji finished speaking, Sun Yalu rushed over, he had heard the news of the Liang army's victory, and after saluting, he asked a question similar to Xu Ji, "Yuyang kept the covenant to leave the Liaodong Army, did King Liang believe it?" ”

"Well, Mr. Sun can elaborate on the requirements of the imperial court."

"First of all, we must remove the emperor title of the king of Jibei and return the king of Jibei to the imperial court, if this King of Liang is not allowed, there is no need to say the rest."

"Hey, the Tiancheng Imperial Court has fallen to this, and its mouth is still so hard. Okay, I can return the king of Jibei, whether to remove the emperor or not, let him decide for himself. ”

Sun Yalu arched his hand, "King Liang made this concession, and the court was relieved." ”

"Go on."

"King Liang can order Jizhou counties in the name of the imperial court, just like He Rongshan did in the name of the imperial court, but Yuyang should be left to the imperial court, only this city."

"Well, it's not excessive, and I can accept it."

"Yuyang's message to the imperial court means that not a single soldier of the Liang army can enter the city."

Ma Wei thought for a while, "Do the officers and soldiers of the imperial court not go out of the city either?" ”

"Never go more than twenty miles outside the city."

Ma Wei said to Xu Ji: "The Tiancheng Imperial Court wants to leave a country within a country for itself. ”

Xu Ji nodded and did not participate in this conversation.

"If I don't enter the city, how can I negotiate peace with the county lord and the emperor?"

"Your Majesty and the county lord can go out of the city."

"I can accept this too."

"The last one, King Liang can leave troops to guard Jizhou, but he also has to lead troops to attack Qinzhou, after this battle, the court has broken with Shan Yu, and will be retaliated, rather than sit and wait, it is better to go straight to the tiger's den."

The first two are mostly false names, but attacking Qin requires the Liang army to pay a huge price.

Sun Yalu mentioned this matter when they met for the first time, Ma Wei had already thought about it repeatedly, and replied: "I can't talk to you about this matter, I have to discuss it with the county lord and the emperor face to face." ”

Sun Yalu had to continue, Ma Wei said: "You will take the king of Jibei back to Yuyang, and at noon the day after tomorrow, I will meet with the county lord and the emperor in the Shili Pavilion outside the south gate of Yuyang, and bring a hundred people each, and a thousand people will stop each five miles away." Let's go down. ”

King Liang was resolute, Sun Yalu had to retreat, Ma Wei handwritten a military order, ordered a guard in the tent to take it out, handed it to Gao Shengze, and then transferred from the old eunuch to the relevant generals to release the "emperor".

Ma Wei said to Xu Ji: "Did you ever expect Jizhou to be so easy? ”

"I didn't expect that."

"But you did say that the county lord will definitely do something, I have always been worried that she will re-woo the Sheng family in Huaizhou, and now it seems that the Sheng family has an iron heart to give up the Tiancheng court, I heard that they have sent troops to cross the river and want to copy King Ning's lair from behind."

"King Ning must not be very happy."

"Haha, Kyushu is like a chess game, life and death rely on each other, some people are happy, naturally some people are unhappy, if King Ning is smart, he will capture Jiangling City as soon as possible and make up for the loss of Jiangdong."

"King Ning didn't send anyone over again?"

"He doesn't think he can persuade me to turn around and attack Huaizhou, right? Guo Shifeng must not be having a good time now, but this is his own fault. The Sheng family sent someone over and was willing to negotiate peace with me, saying that it was a southern and northern expedition, and they would not interfere with each other. ”

"For the Sheng family, this is the best choice."

"Of course, going north to rescue Yuyang, success will return to heaven, success will be Huaizhou, south to attack Wuzhou, success is to open up the territory and expand the territory, success is enough to retreat to their own home, the Sheng family claims to be loyal and filial, when there is a crisis, it is still necessary to put strategy first."

Ma Wei was very excited, but quickly controlled his emotions and became indifferent again, "There are actually two things to call you over, one is to inquire about the county lord's personality, and the other is to listen to your thoughts: How feasible is it to attack Qinzhou?" ”

"Nine deaths, one life."

Ma Wei nodded, "At least you didn't lie about this kind of thing." ”

"What I said may not be recognized by King Liang, but I will never lie."

"Hey, you don't lie, but you may not know everything, you may not really think about me, I've known each other for so long, I won't understand your routine?"

Xu Ji smiled: "Does King Liang want me to speak, or does he not want to?" ”

Ma Wei thought for a while, "You say, what are the pros and cons of attacking Qin?" ”

"The pros and cons are clear at a glance, if you can really defeat He Rongbu, then King Liang will cover Kyushu, and it is only one step away from recovering Liang, but the chances of winning are very small, after the defeat, the Liang army has no way to retreat, and Jizhou will return to Tiancheng in a blink of an eye."

"Tiancheng betrayed the Liaodong Army, Shan Yu will let Yuyang go?"

"Yuyang and Shan Yu at least have the possibility of getting back together, but King Liang doesn't."

"You said that attacking Qin Jiu died for a lifetime, where is that life?"

"If Hanzhou is not completely lost, Xiangyang is still holding on, He Rong's army is running left and right, and there is no spare strength to return to Qinzhou, and Liangzhou and the Northern Descendant Army are willing to send troops, and the three parties join forces, or there is a slight chance of victory."

"Hanzhou and Xiangyang are in danger, and when I lead my troops to Qinzhou, I'm afraid it's too late, and the cold winter is coming, and there is an unknown merger in the middle...... Ma Wei shook his head, "I must not go to Qinzhou, at most enter the merger, choose the opportunity to move, enter and confront He Rongbu, retreat can be based on Jizhou, if it is too late, go south to Luozhou, and connect with the eastern capital, maybe I can force Shan Yu to make peace." ”

Xu Yu was just about to speak, Ma Wei said: "I know that Shan Yu will not really make peace, but the general trend is compelling-" Ma Wei smiled, he still believed in the impact of the general trend on others, "Shan Yu may temporarily give in, this is enough, the longer you wait, the more beneficial it will be to Liang Jun." ”

"King Liang's plan can be calculated as the best strategy."

Ma Wei sneered, "Do you still have a mid-to-upper and upper strategy?" ”

"The middle and upper strategy is not to attack Qin, but to go south to Xiangyang, and join forces with the heroes to resist He Rong's army, if you can hold Xiangyang, then ......"

"Say the best thing." Ma Wei has no interest in helping others defend the city.

"Send troops to the outside of the fortress, attack the lair of He Rong, sweep westward, close the checkpoints along the way, cut off the retreat of He Rongjun, if his heart is chaotic, the situation in the world will change greatly, and the Liang army will ......"

"It's winter, but you want me to lead my troops out of the fortress? Is this your best policy? It's worse than the bottom. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "In short, I don't have a perfect solution, it's just more or less dangerous." ”

Ma Wei let out a long breath, "Speaking of the best way to go—do you think the Lord of Huanyan is willing to marry me?" Liang Cheng got married, things are much easier, and I think she will be of great help to me. ”
