"It's not a one-size-fits-all solution." Xu Ji was silent for a long time before opening his mouth and replying.

Ma Wei has been staring at Xu Ji with great interest, like a cat guarding in front of a rat hole, hearing this answer, a smile appeared on his face, "Up to now, it is far from enough to be crowned king, marriage is the most effective means for the heroes to gain mutual trust, Zhang can marry Shan Yu, and naturally he can marry a daughter of mine." What's more, I didn't casually propose to marry, but I fancy the true talent and learning of the county lord, the two of us join forces, when we can make a career, she can do her best for the Zhang family, and make greater efforts for her husband and children, right? ”

Ma Wei has already had wives and concubines, and even gave birth to a few children, but these are not obstacles to him or anyone who is the king marrying another family, and Xu Ji did not mention it, but just bowed his head and pondered.

Ma Wei waited for a while and said with a smile: "What, do you think I am not worthy of the county lord?" She wouldn't agree to the marriage? ”

"If King Liang really asks for marriage, she will agree, and that's what I'm worried about."

"Haha. Xu Ji, if you like the county lord, tell me, maybe I can give her to you, the king of Xiangdong will not only have this one daughter, I will marry someone else. ”

Of course, Xu Ji understands that he has to use his allegiance to King Liang in exchange for the county lord Huanyan, but this is not what he wants, nor is it a top priority, "King Liang must not get carried away. ”

Ma Wei's face sank, "You don't want to take an inch, you really think you can speak freely in front of me." ”

Xu Ji arched his hand and said: "The big thing is undecided, and King Liang should not have other twists and turns." ”

"It is precisely because the major event has not been decided that it is necessary to use marriage to consolidate the mutual trust between the Zhang and Ma families, what's wrong?"

"King Liang left his wife and children in the eastern capital to stabilize the morale of the army and lure the enemy, and suddenly married another in Yuyang, showing ruthless ......"

"You really don't have much to say to make such an excuse." Ma Wei got up and sighed, "Pan Kai is loyal to me, and he will never waver for this little thing. Anyway, I've made up my mind, but I don't want to take advantage of the situation to oppress people, so please be a lobbyist for me to avoid embarrassment on both sides. ”

"Lord Huanyan has no choice, as long as King Liang is sincere......"

"I don't just want to marry her, I want her to treat the Daliang Ma family as her own home, at least she can be equal to the Zhang family, she trusts you, you can let her understand this."

"King Liang is taking a big risk."

"I've been taking risks since the moment we planned the stabbing drive, and this time, it's a small one for me. I won't lie to you, and I can't hide my thoughts from you, everything I do is for the sake of rejuvenating the Great Liang, and revenge is secondary. Although the Zhang clan is cruel and unreasonable, but at least they did not kill the Ma clan, I will repay it, and be more generous, I can retain the title of 'Emperor Cheng' and the land of the three counties. ”

Ma Wei laughed lightly, "The county lord cares about the name very much, my concession can satisfy her, right?" As for herself, you never have to worry, I am King Liang, she is the princess, I am Emperor Liang, she is the queen. ”

"King Liang looks down on Lord Huanyan, she ......"

Ma Wei was a little impatient, "Xu Ji, don't let personal feelings affect your judgment, as a strategist, this is a big taboo, you can have something to say, you can wait and see, but don't try to influence my decision." ”

Xu Ji sighed lightly, "I'm willing to be a lobbyist for you." ”

Ma Wei smiled again, "I will help you find Princess Fangde, if she is unfortunately killed, you can choose another daughter from the family of the King of Jibei, through the Zhang family, we are relatives, but-" Ma Wei smiled even more happily, "You want to be a generation shorter than me." ”

"Lord Huanyan will definitely ask about the attack on Qin, how should I answer?"

This is no joke, Mavi pondered, and after a moment waved to the guards at the door, letting them all go out and there were no outsiders, he said, "I will borrow your 'middle and upper strategy'." ”

"Assist in Xiangyang?"

"It's too whimsical to get out of the fortress, and attacking Qin will scatter the forces of the heroes, so it's better to work together to defend Xiangyang and firmly hold He Rong's army there."

"How many troops does King Liang plan to send?"

"Twenty thousand."

"Too little."

"Send 20,000 people first, and then decide according to the situation, I will send a capable general to lead the troops, I will go to Bingzhou to assist General Bao, try to occupy more cities in Bingzhou, and Jizhou will be left to the county lord - if we get married, I hope she will not make mistakes again this time, and let Jizhou fall into the hands of others."

Ma Wei pushed Xu Ji out, "Think about it, if you want the county lord to marry into the Ma clan willingly, you have to do it first." ”

Xu Ji returned to the tent and sat down in a daze.

Chang Yanzhi saw that Gongzi was restless, so he didn't bother, and cleaned up everything before he said, "King Liang is embarrassed by Gongzi again?" ”

"He's embarrassing himself."

"Huh?"

Xu Ji didn't want to explain, and lay down on his side.

The camp of the Liang army was not far from Yuyang, and early the next morning, Ma Wei set off with 1,100 people, marched slowly, and sent scouts from afar to check the situation to ensure that Yuyang came out with the same troops, and no ambush was set up.

The people of Yuyang arrived at Shili Pavilion first, and Xu Ji ordered a thousand people to stay on standby, and only a hundred guards galloped over.

The Shili Pavilion has its name, the pavilion has long been completely destroyed, the Yuyang people set up a big tent on the side of the road, the Liang soldiers checked it and confirmed that it was safe, Ma Weicai took Xu Ji and two guards into the account, Gao Shengze and others guarded outside.

The tent was covered with a thick blanket, Emperor Zhang Shiyu knelt in the east chamber, a low table in front of him, and the lord of Huanyan sat at the back, wearing palace clothes, no different from ordinary palace maids, except that there were two or three more pieces of jewelry on his head.

When King Liang came in, Zhang Shiyu moved slightly, and soon sat down again, without getting up to greet him, and the county lord of Huanyan did not move.

Ma Wei sat directly behind the low table in the west wing, Xu Ji stood behind his side, and the guards stood at the door, also facing each other.

Among all the people, Zhang Shiyu was the most nervous, his face was uncertain, and he tried to meet King Liang's gaze several times, but in the end he was defeated as soon as he raised his eyes, which was a little more cramped than in front of Shan Yu.

Ma Wei smiled: "Is the King of Jibei okay?" ”

"Huh? Good...... Very good. Zhang Shiyu replied.

"I hope the king of Jibei won't think that Liang Jun is rude."

"No, no, father...... King Jibei was grateful to King Liang for taking care of him...... He also gained a few pounds. ”

"Tiancheng was originally from the Great Liang, and now the Great Liang is from Tiancheng, we can also be regarded as close to each other, all of the previous things are misunderstandings, I came to Jizhou to regain the lost land from the hands of He Rongren, not to deliberately embarrass the Tiancheng Imperial Court."

"Understood." Zhang Shiyu became more and more restless.

"Is it the two of us who will discuss it directly?"

Zhang Shiyu nodded, and immediately changed his mind, "The county lord came to talk, I came back not long ago, she ...... She knows more about Yuyang's situation. ”

The county lord of Huanyan moved forward a little and said, "King Liang......"

Ma Wei raised his hand and said, "Please consult with my advisor, and I will recognize every word of his words." ”

Xu Ji nodded and did not speak.

Ma Wei got up and said to Zhang Shiyu: "Your Majesty wants to go out to take a breath?" I guess they're going to have to talk about it for a while, and it's very boring. ”

Zhang Shiyu was taken aback, turned his head to look at Lord Huanyan, and after getting the signal, he reluctantly got up, "It's good to breathe." ”

Xu Ji arched his hand, Zhang Shiyu squeezed out a smile, and the two reunited, but they had nothing to say.

The guards also followed, and the county lord of Huanyan moved behind the dwarf, "King Liang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Xu Ji also moved his position, "Let's get down to business first." ”

"Are you really taking refuge in King Liang?"

"I am a guest of King Liang."

Huan Yan laughed softly, "King Liang must go to repel He Rongbu, staying in Jizhou is just a lingering breath, and it will not benefit him or Tiancheng." ”

"King Liang is willing to send troops to help defend Xiangyang, and he himself will lead troops to run the state."

"Xiangyang is difficult to protect, and King Liang is unwilling to go in person, he is going to confront He Rongren, not to expel him."

"King Liang thinks that the time is not yet ripe to expel He Rongbu, and it is beneficial for Liang and Chengdu to stabilize the situation for the time being."

Lord Huanyan pondered for a moment, "I heard that you are from Xiangyang?" ”

"Yes."

"From your point of view, can Xiangyang be kept?"

"It's extremely difficult, but Kyushu is in decline, and if you don't resist it, you will fall into a dead place where you can't recover. Although Xiangyang is difficult to defend, at least there are people who are willing to stand up. ”

"Who are the people in Xiangyang now?"

"Hunan and Guangzhou's shepherds guard Chen Ill ......"

"Self-appointed shepherd." Lord Huan Yan corrected.

"Self-proclaimed, but he led his army north in the name of King Qin, refused to be the king, and insisted on inviting King Zhang to sit in the town, observe his words and deeds, and still be loyal to Tiancheng."

"It's rare, so you sent my father over?"

Xu Ji smiled: "I thought it was a better place to go." ”

"I want to thank you for this matter, if my father still stays in the army of King Liang, I am afraid that something will happen."

"In addition to the southern soldiers led by Chen Aicai, there is also a river army, as well as several self-reliant teams, which are currently in Xiangyang."

"How many troops?"

"Unknown."

"Who's in charge?"

"The Xi family was attacked by King Ning and had no time to take care of Xiangyang, so it should be Chen Ill who is in charge."

Lord Huanyan thought for a while, "If it's still too late, it's a plan to help defend Xiangyang, but King Liang must capture the entire territory of Bingzhou before he can return to Jizhou." ”

"Jizhou was originally garrisoned by the Liang army, do you still care if King Liang comes back?"

"I'm not afraid that King Liang will regret it, but I'm afraid that as soon as he withdraws from the state, He Rongren will take advantage of the situation, and Jizhou will fall into a situation where there is no danger to defend."

"King Liang will also be very happy to be able to seize the entire territory of Bingzhou, but he is worried that Jizhou will become a trouble."

"He doesn't believe in the imperial court?"

"You can't blame him for that, can you?"

"What does he want?"

Xu Ji was silent for a while, "King Liang wants to follow Shan Yu and marry Tiancheng to win his trust." ”

The county lord of Huanyan frowned slightly, and immediately understood, his eyes stared at Xu Ji tightly, "He wants to marry me?" ”

Xu Ji nodded.

"And send you as a lobbyist?"

Xu Ji nodded again.

"And you agree?"

"The important thing is that the county lord agrees."

"I have already made a marriage with someone else, although I have not yet visited the church, although Lou Ji has not come back after going to Jiangdong, life and death are unknown, but at least I am not waiting to be married."

"It's not a problem for King Liang, it's for the imperial court...... Presumably not a problem. ”

"You think I should agree?" Lord Huanyan showed a hint of ridicule.

"King Liang...... While many things have happened and many things have changed, King Liang is still my friend – I hope you will spare him. ”
