The night is deep, and the moon is in the sky.

The city of Bianjing is still brightly lit and full of singing, like a city that never sleeps.

Located in the center of the city, the Zuixian Tower is the most prominent, and only 50 meters away you can see the graceful dancing posture reflected in the huge paper windows on the first floor. When pedestrians pass by, they can't stop and be fascinated by the beautiful music coming from inside...

On the roof of the third floor, Ying Xuan lay leisurely on it. Holding a pot in your right hand and a cup in your left hand, it's not easy to feel comfortable.

"Gollum~"

After drinking another glass, Ying Xuan first frowned unconsciously because he was overwhelmed by the strong breath in the wine. When the wine was down, the lingering fragrance between his lips and teeth made Ying Xuan slowly stretch his brows, and shouted with a look of enjoyment, "Good wine!" ”

In the past few days in the Song Kingdom, Ying Xuan has basically done what he should do, and there is no news from Xiqi, and the battle of Song Liao has only started for a few days, and the news has not yet arrived, so he can only wait here quietly...

"Xuan! Why did you come up and drink again! ”

A scolding voice suddenly woke Ying Xuan from his sluggish state.

Ying Xuan turned around and saw that Ying Hao was climbing up from the ladder, and said, "Brother, why did you come up?" ”

"If I don't come up again, see if you don't freeze to death?" Ying Hao glared at Ying Xuan fiercely, and untied the cloak behind him and covered Ying Xuan.

Ying Xuan smiled helplessly and said, "Brother, I'm fine!" After saying that, Ying Xuan's throat itched, and he coughed unconsciously...

"Ahem! Ahem~"

"Look! You still say you're okay! Dr. Sun said that you should recuperate in the house, drink less alcohol and eat less meat, and don't get cold. I've been busy reviewing restaurant members these days so I don't care about you, look at what you've done! ”

Ying Xuan glanced at Ying Hao weakly, and muttered with insufficient confidence, "I didn't either..."

Without waiting for Ying Xuan to finish speaking, Ying Hao said, "You come less!" Miss Wang, she has explained it all to me! ”

"This traitor..."Ying Xuan lowered his head and muttered.

Although he said that, Ying Xuan knew that Wang Yuxin really regarded him as a friend, not to mention Ying Hao, the two of them were good to him, and Ying Xuan kept it in his heart.

Seeing that Ying Hao was about to open his mouth, Ying Xuan immediately changed the topic and asked, "Okay, brother, let's not talk about this for now." Is there any news from Xiqi and Hainan Pass? ”

When it came to business, Ying Hao kept his stern expression and replied, "The spies sent out a few days ago have come back with two of them, and they have brought some news respectively. ”

Compared with the battle of Hainan Pass, Ying Xuan was more concerned about what happened, so he said, "Let's talk about Xiqi first." ”

"There are two pieces of news from Xiqi, the first is that my father has persuaded the old family of Xiqi that he will be crowned king on the ninth day of the first month of next month!" As he spoke, Ying Hao's face began to flutter, and he couldn't stop the joy in his heart.

"So urgent..."Ying Xuan muttered.

Ying Xuan, the old clan who persuaded Xiqi, was not half surprised, and the current era has entered the precursor of a world of great contention, and all countries are accumulating national strength. They have been living as a family for hundreds of years, and they can be said to be at the end of their rope.

And at this time, it is an opportunity for them to have someone who stands up and unites them and survives in the coming time.

Of course, Ying Ke's eagerness to restore the Qin State will definitely make the major clans open their mouths to their lions, and this is the reason why Ying Xuan let Zhang Yi follow Ying Ke's side. With Zhang Yi's eloquence, even if the old clan can't give up power, it can greatly reduce their other interest requirements.

Ying Xuan asked, "What else?" ”

"Xuan, you know Chen Guo, right?" Win Hao Road.

Ying Xuan nodded and was silent.

"The state of Chen borders our city, and although he has always wanted to annex our ten cities, he has stopped because he has always been fiercely resisted by the old Qin people. However, in order to make the major cities have better development, the old clan has opened up to caravans from all countries, and Chen Guo... It's in the middle of it. ”

Speaking of this, Ying Hao snatched the wine glass and wine jug in Ying Xuan's hand, poured a glass of wine alone and drank it, and said, "I don't know what's going on, the matter of the restoration of the Qin State has leaked the news, and the king of the Chen State has gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses to rob the ten cities." ”

After listening, Ying Xuan's face sank, "The news leaked? It seems that not everyone in the world wants to return to the rule of the Qin State~"

Ying Xuan's meaningful words made Ying Hao pause abruptly, and asked, "Xuan, do you think there are traitors in the clan?" ”

"It's not a mole..."

Even if he is not in Xiqi, Ying Xuan probably understands the cause of the incident. This is probably a trick by those who are accustomed to being high above and are unwilling to succumb to the tricks of the Ying clan, using the state of Chen to put pressure on the unformed state of Qin and cause it to collapse.

There are two reasons for this:

First, the part of the family did not know the number of people who came from the island, and they were not at ease with the leader of the Ying clan, for fear of leading the clan to extinction. Rather, as before, the clans managed their own cities and helped each other.

Second: Since ancient times, the monarch wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die. In the past, they controlled the people in the city, and if they submitted to the Ying clan, their life and death would be in the same hands as they did with the people before. This is unacceptable to them.

For these, Ying Xuan can understand. He didn't even have any intention of waiting to return to Qin State to find out those people. The root of all this lies only in their distrust of Win's existence. Only by making the Qin State strong can these people completely dispel the doubts in their hearts.

Ying Hao looked at Ying Xuan with a careful look, and found that his face was not half worried, and couldn't help asking, "Second brother, Chen Guo is coming, you don't seem to be nervous at all?" This battle is undoubtedly a catastrophe for us! ”

Hearing this, Ying Xuan had a relaxed smile on his face, turned his head sideways to look at Ying Hao, and asked meaningfully, "Call here?" Will he call? ”

"What do you mean? Xuan, you mean they're bluffing? ”

Ying Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't understand why they did this, but I know that it is absolutely impossible for Chen Guo to send troops at this time." Because Chen Guo made a rash move a few years ago, he lost a lot of their troops. Now, they have been reduced to the weakest of the five kingdoms, and they have no time to stretch out their hands to Xiqi. ”

"Then why did Chen Guo gather troops to press the border in Xiqi? This news is absolutely true..."Ying Hao asked puzzled. Large-scale military movements involve a very wide area, and in general, such a transfer of more than 100,000 troops is by no means as simple as putting pressure on the enemy country.

Ying Xuan shook his head slowly, poured a glass of wine, and drank, "I'm not in Xiqi after all, and I don't know much about this matter." However, in my opinion, this may be a countermeasure that the rat generations of the Shi clan and Chen Guo discussed privately. Using the Chen crusade as a breakthrough, he lobbied the rest of the clan to refuse to submit. ”

"As for what benefits Chen Guo has, that's even more obvious. Xiqi Ten Cities, the fat meat in Chen Guo's mouth, Chen Guo has been staring at it for more than ten years. Although he has not been able to eat it, this is mainly because of the mutual containment between the five countries, so that Chen Guotian could not make a move. Now that the fat was about to be pulled out of his mouth, of course he had to find a way to bite it. ”

Ying Xuan's speculation is very reasonable, which makes Ying Hao a little realised. In the final analysis, although the nine great families are united in the face of big issues, there are still some estrangements between them. This made Chen Guo feel that he had a chance to start. And if these clans were to become a nation, the situation would be completely different. With the strength of the Chen State, it has not yet reached the level of eating the Qin State while the other four countries are eyeing each other.

"By the way, what's the situation at Hainan Pass?"

Ying Xuan is still more concerned about the situation of the Song State, and this temporary ally is in a difficult situation. The relationship between the Song State and the Liaojin State was not friendly, and the strength of the Liaojin State was not weaker than that of the Song State. The most important thing is that there is also a behemoth in the south that overwhelms the Song Kingdom.

At the moment, since the three kingdoms of Tang, Song and Qin have reached an alliance, they naturally have to share the same hatred, if the Song State really comes to the point of life and death, Ying Xuan will do his best to help.

"Don't let you drink, you don't listen to persuasion, do you!"

Ying Hao saw that Ying Xuan drank wine in front of him again, so he snatched the wine jug in Ying Xuan's hand and threw it directly into the small forest outside the restaurant.

Ying Xuan looked at the falling wine jug with a distressed face, and shouted, "This pot of wine can be sold for twenty taels of silver!" Big brother, you are so generous! ”

"You come less! From tomorrow onwards, I will let Miss Wang keep an eye on you, and if you drink again, see how I clean you up! Ying Hao didn't eat Ying Xuan's set at all, and said bluntly.

"Alright! All right! Tell me about what's going on over there. Ying Xuan shrugged, looking like he had lost to Ying Hao.

Immediately, Ying Hao's expression also became a little more serious, and he said, "Two days ago, you should have known about Yue Fei's raid on the Liao Kingdom along the coast with 100,000 horses five days ago. ”

Ying Xuan nodded, as long as this matter is in the Song Kingdom, there is basically no one who does not know.

"Two days ago, Captain Yang Ye and Yang were ordered by the King of Song to lead 80,000 horsemen to Hainan Pass. Counting the days, the battle at Hainan Pass may have started now. ”

For this news, Ying Xuan was not surprised at all. Since Yue Fei led 100,000 people to fight along the coastal road into the interior of the Liao Kingdom, he naturally had a plan, and Yang Ye took 80,000 soldiers to Hainan Pass, which completely exposed the purpose of this battle.

As long as the Song State can take down the Hainan Pass, it will be able to completely suppress the Liao State's troops. This undoubtedly solved a big problem for Song Guo.

The land of Liao is relatively barren compared to the Central Plains, and disasters have occurred from time to time in recent years. As a last resort, he repeatedly invaded the Song State to replenish resources. Once the Song State was cut off, the Liao State would be equivalent to losing the rations of one county.

What to do?

The Liao State borders the Song, Jin, and Yuan Kingdoms, and the financial route of the Song State is broken, and the strength of the Yuan State is too strong, and the Liao State can only pay attention to the Jin State!

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Song State can win this Xiongguan that turns the situation around!

The thought of all this flashed through Ying Xuan's head......

Looking at the bright moon, Ying Xuan's cloudy eyes finally became clear, he slowly stood up, looked at Ying Hao with a tired face, and said, "I'm a little sleepy, I'll go to sleep first..."
