(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) ）

The incarnation king proved that he could also "follow the advice", and after being persuaded by Xu Ji, he quickly gathered his subordinates and allowed them to ask for the title of king.

"Qinzhou is Lao Tzu's hometown, it must be mine, the east is the supreme of the world, your cheap life can't be suppressed, Maitreya Buddha has already promised me this flower world, so Luozhou must also be mine. The rest of the place, you can pick at will, whoever can grab it, who is the king there, but no matter how far you go, you have to listen to me, give me an order, immediately roll over to me, whoever dares not to come, everyone will beat him together! ”

"Hit him together!" Everyone said in unison.

"Also, from now on, you are not allowed to call me 'Descended King' and 'Xue Zu', it is not good, and in the future, you will call me 'Ancestor King', because I am one level higher than the king, side by side with the emperor, understand?"

"Understood, understood, the name of the ancestor is good." Everyone agreed.

"You want to be king?"

Suddenly, no one squeaked.

Xue Liujia's face was filled with a smile of anticipation, waiting for everyone to rush to become the king, but the scene was so cold that it seemed that he hadn't said anything.

The smile gradually disappeared, Xue Liujia was furious, got up and said, "Why, you don't want to be a king?" Or are you too timid to expand your territory? Luan Laoqi, didn't you really want to be the king in the past? You're not happy to return the king's name, so why don't you open your mouth when you have a chance at this time? ”

Luan Laoqi smiled bitterly: "Xue ...... Wang Zu, this ...... I have such a small number of people under my hands, and I often can't eat enough with you, how dare I go to another place alone to be king? No, no, I have to stay, it doesn't matter if I am a king or not, there are more people to be safe. ”

There are no too complicated rules for the Descending Army, everyone has something to say, Luan Laoqi finished speaking, and the scene of saying yes reappeared.

"We are all from Qinzhou, we all feel far away here, and we need to be farther away? Don't go. ”

"Yes, yes, I don't think it's going to be a king, let's grab some food and hurry back to Qinzhou, it looks like winter is about to ......"

Xue Liujia threw a stick, and the people around him were prepared, and they all retreated, all of them avoided.

didn't hit anyone, Xue Liujia was even more angry, cursing in his mouth, waving sticks randomly, beating the leaders out, and sitting in the room sulking.

The military advisor Huangfu stepped into the door quietly, and Xue Liujia saw it at a glance, and he was angry, "What do you want to do sneakily?" Are you a strategist or a thief? ”

Huangfu stepped up quickly and said with a smile: "I am a military advisor, and I am here to give advice to the king." ”

"Huh?" Xue Liujia gently raised the stick in his hand.

Huangfu immediately changed his words, "Ancestral King, I have a way to make everyone rush to ask for the seal, and rush to open up territory and expand the territory for the Ancestral King and dominate the world." ”

"Do you agree with the title of king?"

"I didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I think Lou Seventeen is right." Huangfu insisted on using the surname Lou.

"Then you're really not smart. Say, what's the idea. ”

"Someone has to take the lead and let everyone see the benefits, and then others will rush to ask for the seal."

", I don't understand these simple truths? But who will take the lead? I thought that Luan Laoqi would rush to become the king, but even he was a coward, which is really disappointing. Alas, it seems that Ning Bao'er is a character, and he changed his name from me. ”

"Wechen knows that someone is definitely willing to ask for a seal."

"Who? You're a newcomer, and how can you be more familiar with the brother of the Advent Army than I am? ”

"Hehe, I'd better not say it, lest the ancestor think that I have ulterior motives."

"Say, say it right away!" Xue Liujia raised his stick again.

"Father."

"Who is my father?" Xue Liujia was stunned.

"It's my father."

"Your father wants to be king?" Xue Liujia was stunned again, "He is the general of the defeated army, for your sake, I left him a dog's life, why should he be the king?" ”

Strictly speaking, Huangfu Kai is not a "general of the defeated army", and the Huangfu rank does not argue, but laughs: "My father is indeed a general of the defeated army, and he is convinced by the ancestral king, but he was also a pastor in Jizhou, and he has been operating in Jizhou for many years, and is familiar with the local customs. ”

"Then you don't need to crown him king?"

"In fact, it is not good for my father to be crowned king, but it is good for my ancestors."

"Really? You say come and hear it. ”

"First, if my father asks for the title of king as a general of a defeated army, he will surely cause others to follow suit. Second, my father got the title of the king of the incarnation army, which is equivalent to openly opposing the imperial court, and from now on, no matter where he goes, he will be a subordinate of the ancestral king, and he will break off with the Tiancheng Dynasty. Third, Jizhou has no owner for days, and people are in turmoil, and those who are not kings cannot be suppressed. ”

"Well, there is some truth to all three, let me think about it."

Huangfu struck while the iron was hot, "The ancestral king needs to make a decision early, if I guess correctly, the state and the imperial court must have sent people to win over the soldiers of Jizhou, if the army moves one step late, it is likely to lose a large state." ”

Xue Liujia was still suspicious of Huangfu's father and son, "Your father asks for a seal, what about you?" ”

"Of course, I will stay with the ancestral king and continue to be a military advisor." The emperor's steps are deep.

Xue Liujia turned his anger into joy at this time, "That's right, no matter who is crowned king in the future, he has to leave his wife and children behind." ”

At noon the next day, Xue Liujia and Ning Baoguan made a blood alliance in the wilderness, and at the alliance meeting, Xue Liujia issued a decree to seal the king again, and the emperor opened the crowd to come out, please seal the "Yuyang King", and was willing to capture Jizhou in Hebei for the descending army.

Huangfu Kai is old, and he is a captive, this opening, was ridiculed by many people, but Xue Liujia took it seriously, looked serious, ordered someone to break off a branch from a nearby tree, remove the branch, cut it into a fresh wooden stick, hold it with his left hand, and still hold it tightly in his right hand "Kill the emperor and destroy the emperor", and said: "Maitreya Buddha gave me a magic stick, this stick kills the Son of Heaven, manages all living beings, the magic stick is waved, the heaven and the earth are cleared, the magic stick is waved again, the evil ghost is gone, the magic stick is waved three times, the beasts are subdued, the magic stick is waved four times, the enemy is tied, the magic stick is five waves, the world is unified, the magic stick is six waves, The world is peaceful, the magic rod is waved seven times, Maitreya is born, and the world is all Buddha land. ”

Xue Liujia recited a set of words, and used the "Kill the Emperor Stick" to knock three times on the fresh wooden stick, which was regarded as transmitting mana, and then handed the wooden stick to Huangfu Kai, "The king of Benzu named you the 'King of Yuyang', opened up the territory for me, recruited troops and food for me, always obeyed my orders, always obeyed my orders, and ascended to the heavenly realm with me in the future to meet the Buddha." ”

Huangfu knelt down and received the stick, and when he got up again, he was already the king of Yuyang of the incarnation army, but his subordinates had no soldiers and horses for the time being, and he was the same as the wooden stick in his hand, a bare pole.

Ning Baoguan was present at the time, and when he saw it, he didn't say anything, but took the lead to congratulate the king of Yuyang.

Huangfu Kai did play an exemplary role, and several leaders asked for the title of king, but they were not in a hurry to "expand the territory", and all of them put forward a condition, they were not willing to leave the army until they won another big battle and grabbed enough food and grass.

At the moment of the great enemy, Xue Liujia certainly did not want to weaken his troops, so he agreed, and more than a dozen kings were sealed, almost dividing the land of the world cleanly.

Huangfu was happy and anxious, and later that day, he left the camp with dozens of horsemen and found his way to Jizhou.

Huangfu was sent to the gate of the camp, and after he returned, he became more and more respectful and flattering to Xue Liujia, and completely won his trust.

Two days later, it was estimated that his father had gone far away and would never be caught up again, Huangfu fled alone overnight, leaving a letter, humbly claiming that the family was all the ministers of the king, because he was worried that his father would be old and deceived by traitors after returning to Jizhou, so he also had to go back and bring troops to meet the ancestral king as soon as possible.

After seeing the letter, Xue Liujia was furious and sent someone to chase after Huangfu's father and son, and the order was also passed to Wu Yuejun.

Ning Baoguan only sneered after seeing the order, did not send someone to pursue his life, handed the letter to King Liang, and said: "The King of the Birth is an old fool, and the Huangfu father and son have such an obvious trick, he can't see through it. Fortunately, the occupation of Jizhou by the Huangfu father and son can at least distract the imperial court. ”

Ma Wei thought a lot, and secretly sent two groups of people, one to ask the descending army about the details of the emperor's father and son's claim to be king, and the other to go out of the big city on the south bank to intercept the official office everywhere.

On the morning of Xu Ji's return from Yingcheng to Mengjin, Ma Wei's spies finally intercepted a letter sent from Jizhou to Luoyang, the content of which was unknown, but at least one thing could be seen: long before the Huangfu father and son fled back to Jizhou, the imperial court had sent envoys north.

There is no doubt that the envoy is trying to win over the generals of Jizhou, add a new force to the imperial court, and attack from the north and south to eliminate the rebels in one fell swoop.

"The Shen family also sent someone to Jizhou, right?" Mavi asked.

Xu Ji nodded, "It's Shen Cong and Guo Shifeng who were sent." ”

"Hey, Shen Zhi sent his eldest son, which is very important to the army of Jizhou. The more I think about it in the past few days, the more I feel that Jizhou is the key, and we are here to confront the officers and soldiers, even if we win by luck, we can't stop the Jizhou soldiers from hitting in the back. ”

"With Guo Shifeng's help, and Shen Bingzhou's promise, the generals of Jizhou should support the Shen family."

"It's hard to say, can Shen Zhi's promise be retained by the imperial court? The generals of Jizhou are very profitable, and they will invest in whoever gives more benefits. And-" Ma Wei grabbed Xu Ji's arm and said eagerly, "Why can't we take the Jizhou soldiers for ourselves?" With such a force, pacification of the world is just around the corner. ”

Just after settling down by Ning Baoguan's side for a few days, Ma Wei's old problem has been committed again, and he still wants to compete for the world and restore the old business of Daliang.

"Needless to say, the imperial court is the old lord of Jizhou, and Shen Bingzhou is the most powerful, these three families at least have their own promises, how does Brother Ma plan to win the trust of the soldiers of Jizhou?"

"I want to promise them the whole territory of Jizhou. Those three have their own strengths, but there is a shortcoming, that is, Jizhou will never be allowed to stand on its own, I can, as long as Jizhou is willing to use it for me for a while, I will give them a lifetime of benefits. ”

Xu Ji shook his head, "Such benefits, the King of the Incarnation and the King of Wuyue can also be promised to the soldiers of Jizhou." ”

"So I still need my brother's three-inch tongue to convince the generals of Jizhou for me. I understand that this is very difficult, but the benefits are self-evident. Or is it the same sentence, does the younger brother really want to be subservient to others for the rest of his life? The wind and clouds will meet, the soldiers of Jizhou hold the key to the world without knowing it, and those who get it will win the world! ”

Xu Ji was still hesitating, and Ma Wei said again: "Guo Shifeng is in Jizhou, it's better, I write a letter, and he will definitely help you." ”

"Brother Ma believes in Guo Shifeng?"

"Haha, I believe in my brother, I understand Guo Shifeng, and I have a way to make him switch to me."

Xu Ji sighed, "Okay, I'll go to Jizhou, but I can't guarantee success, and I can't guarantee that the Jizhou soldiers will definitely throw themselves at Brother Ma, I just want to thwart the lobbyists of the imperial court." Brother Ma was careful in Mengjin. ”

"It's enough to have a brother."

Xu Ji thought that he should indeed go to Jizhou, in order to "see is believing", to find out what the generals of Hebei think, and he also wanted to see if Ma Wei had any way to make Guo Shifeng turn again.
