Lord Huanyan made an unbelievable decision, but she herself stood aside and said nothing, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

Ma Wei was a little out of breath, and after throwing out the question, he didn't even wait for an answer, and paced back and forth, walking faster and faster, and the more he walked, the more narrow the tent became, and he couldn't fit his pace.

Xu Ji had to look at Guo Shifeng.

Guo Shifeng smiled, it seemed that the whole thing was a joke and not worth taking seriously, but he still whispered: "The county lord means this: King Liang declared himself a vassal to Yecheng, was officially canonized, and guarded Yecheng in the name of King Tiancheng Liang, serving the Empress Dowager, and the county lord accompanied the emperor to personally conquer. ”

"Pro-conquest and annexation of states?"

"No, pro-Yuyang. The emperor will win the support of He Rong's ministry in Yuyang, and then march north and south with the king of Liang, and attack and merge the state together, after the success, the emperor will stay in Jinyang and will not return to Yecheng, but will send someone to pick up the empress dowager, and the king of Liang will keep the whole Jizhou. ”

"Can the emperor convince He Rongbu to give up the Shen family?"

"The county lord said that it was her business, and she had her own way."

"What about King Ning and the Sheng family?"

Guo Shifeng was called, which means that part of the overall plan of the county lord of Huanyan is related to Jiangdong, "The county lord said that if King Ning can defeat the Sheng family, he can occupy Huaizhou and also get canonization. ”

Guo Shifeng laughed at this matter, turned his head to look at the county lord, and shook his head gently, "Although the county lord is highly regarded, King Kening does not have the ability to compete with the heroes for the time being......"

Xu Ji said: "King Ning has this ability, not only does he have it, but he is likely to have sent troops. ”

Guo Shifeng laughed again, "No wonder the county lord insisted on calling Xu Gongzi in." ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "When Mr. Guo is also a fan of the authorities, please think carefully about Mr. Guo, King Ning occupies Jiangdong ......"

"Xu Gongzi's first sentence was wrong, King Ning did not occupy Jiangdong, and there are still a large number of counties and counties that support troops to stand on their own, or surrender and rebel, it will still take a lot of time to solve these troubles."

"Then let's suppose first, if King Ning has already occupied Jiangdong-" Xu Ji waited for a while, and saw that Guo Shifeng did not object again, and continued: "We have to solve the trouble of 'neighbors', Wuzhou is bordered by Jingzhou in the west, Huaizhou in the north, and Luozhou is also adjacent to it, but King Liang has decided to move north to Yecheng, and King Soning's strong neighbors are only Xi and Sheng. Coincidentally, both of these families originally sent large armies to Qinzhou to quell the rebellion, and they withdrew one after another. As far as I know, the Xi family in Jingzhou retreated thousands of miles, and even gave up part of Hanzhou that they had already captured, so they wanted to return to their hometown as soon as possible, but the Sheng family here lent the army to King Liang. According to this speculation, Jingzhou has been prepared, and Huaizhou is empty, if King Ning has the intention of expanding, which side is preferred? ”

"And Luozhou, King Liang is not here, and the eastern capital is even more empty." Guo Shifeng said.

"The eastern capital is where the strong live, and the weak get it, but it will cause disaster, and King Ning should know this."

Guo Shifeng shook his head, "Xu Gongzi's speculation is impeccable, only one thing, your initial assumption does not exist, King Ning is busy subduing Wuzhou County, and there is no accident. ”

"Really?"

"That's true."

Xu Ji turned to the county lord of Huanyan in the distance, "The county lord is afraid that he has found the wrong person, Mr. Guo did not participate in King Ning's plan." ”

Lord Huanyan said: "Maybe Mr. Guo is hiding it well." ”

Xu Ji shook his head, "I don't think so, if you want to take it, you must give it first, King Ning sent Mr. Guo out to appease Huaizhou and King Liang, and persuade the two families to attack Jizhou in the north, it is the so-called 'giving', King Ning in order to prevent the flaws from being exposed, so he deliberately concealed the part of 'taking', and first won the trust of Mr. Guo, in order to gain the trust of the Sheng family and King Liang." ”

"Nonsense." Guo Shifeng smiled, too lazy to refute.

Lord Huanyan thought for a while, "It's still that Xu Gongzi is right, Mr. Guo really doesn't know." This is a bit troublesome, King Ning will definitely accept my suggestion, but it takes a long time to send someone to Jiangdong, and there is a Huaizhou in between, so it may not be able to make the trip......"

Guo Shifeng said: "The two of you don't have to sing and harmonize, King Ning ......"

Ma Wei, who didn't speak for a while, suddenly strode over, "King Ning is indeed going to attack Huaizhou, and maybe the Eastern Capital." ”

Guo Shifeng smiled bitterly: "King Liang, don't be fooled, these two ......"

Ma Wei said: "I don't care what the two of them say, I'm looking at you." ”

"Me?"

"You, Guo Shifeng, claim to be up and down with the world, but in fact, you see the wind and make the rudder, and you are dedicated to confusing others with beautiful words."

"Those who know me, King Liang. But I'm ...... on this mission."

Ma Wei raised his right hand and said that he hadn't finished speaking, "But Brother Guo is indeed a rare talent, if I am the King of Liang, or you are under my account, how will I use you?" ”

Ma Wei leaned back slightly, staring at Guo Shifeng up and down.

"Since King Liang said that I am a 'rare talent', I must be able to make the best use of it and let me play it to my heart's content." Guo Shifeng said with a smile.

Ma Wei said coldly: "Of course, I will send you to bewitch the heroes and make them believe that I have no ambitions, I just want to occupy a state, and then take advantage of its unpreparedness to destroy it in one fell swoop, this is exactly what King Ning is doing." ”

Guo Shifeng was stopped by Ma Wei just as he was about to speak, "Brother Guo doesn't need to explain, Xu Gongzi is right, maybe King Ning really didn't tell you the truth." Hey, who is King Ning, who instigated the two states to go on an expedition, but just to have a moment of leisure? Everyone knows each other well, Ning Baoguan's heart is ruthless, and the heroes are unsurpassed, he has spent so much effort that he must have a plan. ”

"Wuzhou is not peaceful, King Ning really has no spare strength to ......"

Ma Wei felt more reasonable the more he pondered it, "The people who support the army and stand on their own in Jiangdong are all small fish and shrimp, and they are not worthy of being suppressed by King Ning one by one, he wants to concentrate on attacking the big fish and defeating the Sheng family, not only to expand the land and the people, but also to threaten the four directions of the town, and then turn around and go south, and the Jiangdong counties will naturally look down on the wind." ”

Guo Shifeng opened his mouth and stammered.

Ma Wei said to the lord of Huanyan County: "After King Ning occupies Huaizhou, isn't it connected to my Jizhou?" ”

King Liang has regarded Jizhou as his own.

Lord Huanyan said: "Well, I can't guarantee anything to King Ning, but if King Ning is willing to accept the canonization of the imperial court, he will be the king of the same dynasty as King Liang, the world is vast, enough for the two kings to gallop, but I really can't make a guarantee." ”

Ning Baoguan is an extremely difficult person to guess, even when Yecheng is the most powerful, there is no way to restrain it a little, Ma Wei is not difficult for a strong man, and said to Guo Shifeng: "Brother Guo has to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible." ”

Guo Shifeng was shocked, "King Liang is really ...... You won't be persuaded by the two of them like this, will you? ”

Ma Wei's face was slightly gloomy, "I'm not stupid enough to be convinced, everything is obvious, I was a little confused before, but now I have thought it through." Brother Guo doesn't have to think clearly, go back to Jiangdong as soon as possible, and explain the situation here to King Ning, if he has the heart to unite, it is best, if he is the king of Guandu, he just wants to compete with the heroes with his own strength, and he will follow him. Please Brother Guo tell King Ning that Huaizhou belongs to him, but the eastern capital is mine, and whoever touches the eastern capital is my enemy. ”

Ma Wei's ambition is inflated, and even Dong doesn't want to give up.

Guo Shifeng was embarrassed, in terms of eloquence, he thought that he was not inferior to Xu Ji and Huanyan County Lord, or even better, but King Liang was already moved, and the more he said at this time, the more he would be regarded as "uninformed", which would be counterproductive.

"Okay." Guo Shifeng didn't want to make a senseless struggle, "I'll go back to Jiangdong and set off as soon as dawn." But if I go back like this, I can't win King Ning's trust, the county lord has to send someone to accompany me, and King Liang had better send someone too, at least to convince King Ning that I am not talking nonsense. ”

Guo Shifeng looked at Xu Ji and said with a smile: "If Xu Gongzi can go to Jiangdong together, it would be the best, Xu Gongzi's explanation is better than my thousand words." ”

Xu Ji said: "I am willing to go with Brother Guo." Speaking of which, I would also like to visit Koto, which is my mother's homeland after all......"

Guo Shifeng immediately changed his mind, "There is a mistake, Gongzi Xu is not a minister of Yecheng or King Liang, and he can't speak on behalf of both parties, so let's ask the county lord and King Liang to send someone else." ”

Guo Shifeng was careless for a while, forgetting Xu Ji's special identity, if he brought Xu Ji back to Jiangdong, King Ning would be angry, and he might kill both of them.

Ma Wei said: "Pan Kai is my general, and he is also my right-hand man, King Ning and Brother Guo both know him. I sent General Pan as an envoy to Jiangdong. ”

Pan Kainai was the most important general of the Liang army, and he had always been trusted by the Liang king, and sent him as an envoy to Jiangdong, showing that Ma Wei sincerely approved of the plan of the county lord Huanyan.

Guo Shifeng had no choice but to say: "With General Pan's accompaniment, half of the matter will be done." ”

The county lord of Huanyan on the other side said: "Lord Fei Fei is also known to King Ning, and my plan is to discuss with Lord Fei, he can go to Jiangdong with Mr. Guo." ”

Guo Shifeng arched his hand, "Please forgive me for the crime of disrespect, I really don't know what King Ning thinks, but as long as King Liang takes the lead, King Ning will be willing to follow." That's it: King Ning got Huaizhou, King Liang got Jizhou, and the county lord had to merge with the state, and the three families worked hard separately, as for the future, we will talk about it later. ”

Ma Wei said: "There is also the Eastern Capital." ”

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "The eastern capital is already in the hands of King Liang, and since the three families have joined forces, they will naturally not encroach on each other." I'll set off at dawn, so I have to ask first: When will the royal driver go north to conquer in person? When did King Liang enter the city? How to explain all this to the generals in the army? ”

The lord of Huanyan said: "The Yecheng army is ready, as long as King Liang gives way to the passage, he can go out of the city to the north the day after tomorrow, and within a month, he will be transferred from Yuyang to Feihukou and enter the state, and then King Liang will need to cooperate from the south." ”

Ma Wei nodded, "Of course, we must not give the state a chance to breathe. Tomorrow I will give way to the passage, the county lord and His Majesty will go out of the city, and I will lead my troops into the city to meet the Empress Dowager. As for the Huai people in the army, it is too late to be happy when they see me capture Yecheng, and they will not have too many ideas. I will give them a heavy reward, and then divide them into several units and send them out to the counties and counties of Jizhou. In short, I will find a way to keep these soldiers and never let them return south to Huaizhou to help the Sheng family become enemies of King Ning. ”

Guo Shifeng gave his hand and said goodbye.

Lord Huanyan came from a distance and said to King Liang, "There is one last thing. ”

"County Lord, please speak."

"Xu Gongzi has to go north with His Majesty."

Ma Wei looked at Xu Ji, "Xu Gongzi doesn't pay tribute to anyone. ”

Lord Huanyan said: "I understand, but he is involved in this matter, and he can't just leave, he can't wait for His Majesty to lead his troops into the state before he can choose where to go." ”

Ma Wei pondered for a while, "Let Xu Gongzi make his own decision." ”

Xu Ji also pondered for a while, "I have to go to Yuyang, Tian Craftsman offended He Rongpingshan because of me, I can't ignore it." ”

Ma Wei was disappointed in his heart, but his face showed no expression, and he pursed his lips, "Feel free, you can go, take the people of Yecheng, except for Mr. Kou." ”

Of course, the county lord of Huanyan will not ask Kou Daogu again, and he will leave after thanking him.

The group rode away from the Liang camp on horseback, and after walking a short distance, the lord of Huanyan County ordered the others to go first, and stopped on the side of the road by herself, leaving Xu Ji behind, she was very anxious, and she had to ask to understand, "Xu Gongzi is familiar with King Liang and King Ning, will he be persuaded?" ”

"King Liang has been convinced, as for King Ning, it doesn't matter what he thinks, as soon as the situation changes here, he will definitely accept it."

Lord Huanyan smiled slightly, his heart was much more steady, and then his face was slightly gloomy, "Xu Gongzi didn't say a word about Fangde, what is his intention?" ”

"The county lord didn't say a word to the king of Xiangdong and the king of Jibei."

The county lord of Huanyan laughed, patted the horse and was about to leave, but Xu Ji suddenly slapped his forehead, "I have to go back to see King Liang." ”

"What's wrong?"

"There is still some time before dawn, Guo Shifeng stays in the camp, and it will be a big deal for the county lord!"
