"As the saying goes, there is no vanity under the fame," Tang Dian glared at Tang Zi and took over, "Taishou has long been famous in Luoyang, and the few things he has presided over are even more clear, and there is no need to doubt the ability of the people in the ruling office, and there is only one Taishou in today's Daijun, don't take office in advance and incumbent." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Well, my nephew understands." Tang Zi nodded, there was no annoyance on his face, and he nodded calmly.

It was that Murong who said at this time: "Brother Tang, when I entered the city, I saw a barracks outside the city, and I asked left and right to know that it was the people of the Tuoba Department, I don't know if Tuoba Yulu will come over today?" ”

"Didn't you ask one side earlier?" Tang Zi laughed, "Today's invitation, there is no him, and I haven't heard that this person is coming back, as far as I know, this Tuoba Yulu is leaving, so he has been in the barracks outside the city for the past few days, and he has not entered the city today." ”

"That's good." Murong didn't hide it, and made a calm look, "You also know, there are also a lot of discord between our Xianbei departments, and I don't have a deep friendship with the Tuoba department, so I'm afraid that something will happen at that time, and it will ruin the interest of Taishou." ”

Tang Zi smiled but said nothing.

Murong saw the situation and said: "Brother Tang Zi, I admire your ability as a businessman, and this time I came to visit Chen Taishou, but I also have the heart to discuss with you and cooperate with our clan a few more times." ”

"Let's talk about this after dinner." Tang Zi smiled slightly and did not give a promise.

Seeing this, Murong was silent on the surface, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and at the same time was a little anxious.

This person's name, named Murong Hao, is the son of the current leader of Murong Xianbei, but the interaction with the people of the Tang family is a pseudonym, and the reason is very simple, the name of Murong Hao, in the hinterland of the Central Plains, not many people know and care, but in this territory, almost everyone knows it, because he has been determined as the next heir to the head of Murong.

However, what he said before was that he wanted to visit Chen Zhi in Luoyang, but he failed to do so, but he was not lying, but it was true.

This Murong Hao is the two people who talked to people in the Baijia tea shop with his brother Murong Han in the previous article, alias Yan Zhao Zhishi, stopped in Luoyang for a few days, planning to visit Chen Zhi, but it happened to run into something, it was rumored that Chen Zhi was going to change because of Zhang Ying, and in the end they did not make the trip, but they made up their minds that Chen Zhi would go to the north to guard the Taishou, and he could visit sooner or later.

It's just that he came to Daijun this time, but it was not all to make up for his previous regrets in Luoyang, but also a more important task, which was to win one or two allies for Murong Xianbei.

War is approaching.

However, any war does not mean that you have to fight today, then start fighting immediately, and it is often preceded by numerous diplomatic actions -

Representations between the two opposing sides are indispensable, whether it is diplomatic deception, a diplomatic truce, or the use of diplomacy to delay time.

In addition, the two warring parties will also get in touch with the relevant forces around them before the official war, either as allies and rely on their strength, or agree on terms to keep others neutral, or they will contact each other's allies to try to change the situation.

For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao was at a disadvantage, and there was a tacit understanding between Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, so Cao Cao used diplomatic means to wait for Yuan Shu to die, stabilized Liu Biao, suppressed and subdued Zhang Xiu, and divided the soldiers and horses that were much less than Yuan Shao into a group and guarded it in the south, and then the battle of Guandu really began.

Otherwise, with the geographical location of Cao Cao's group, the situation in a place of four wars, as soon as this side makes a move, someone will backstab behind, and no one can stand it.

This fact has also made many people realize that before a war begins, the premise of defeating the strong is to be able to create a situation in their favor through diplomatic efforts, or at least to maintain the situation from deteriorating.

The situation that Murong Xianbei is facing now is much worse than that of Cao Cao back then, if in terms of strength, Murong Xianbei, who is promoting sinicization, is stronger than any of the Duan Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei in terms of strength, and compared with Tuoba Xianbei, it is not too much, and compared with Tuoba Xianbei, there is no need to be subject to the Xiongnu State.

But the problem is that this time the situation we have to face is that several other parties will unite and jointly send troops!

Even Wang Jun, who guards the north of Xinhan and has a huge number of soldiers and horses, may be involved, this is not a joke, once Wang Jun joins, the situation will be reversed, and at that time, the surrounding sporadic forces will inevitably follow, and maybe they will take advantage of it in the end.

In order to avoid such a situation, Murong Hao came forward this time, and in fact, Murong Xianbei sent out more than him, and not only came to Daijun, several Murong, the two state generals' mansions, and even other surrounding forces, all tried to contact, and the purpose was also different, some were to win over, some were to explore intelligence, some were to stabilize the other party, and even some were rebelling.

As the heir, Murong Hao's task is also very difficult, which is to prevent Wang Jun from joining as much as possible, and he can even make major concessions for this.

It's just that such a choice will undoubtedly make Murong Xianbei lose his autonomy, and until the last moment, Murong Hao, the future leader of Murong, will definitely not choose such a step, so he has other ideas, so this time he went south, he first asked people to go to Wang Jun's side to ventilate, but he concealed his identity, came to the Tang family under a pseudonym, and with the help of the Tang family, he participated in Chen Zhi's dinner.

While speaking, several people stepped into Chen Zhi's dinner.

There are actually not many people in this courtyard, don't look at the many people who came just now, one after another, but in fact, there are too many people who will come at this time, and when the Tang family and his party came in, they looked at the past, and then they noticed that the people who really arrived here were actually the people of those big families.

The four major families of Daijun, plus the strong Liu family, and the remaining three larger families, together are eight families, and the second generation of the eight families are young, with one, two, and three generations, a total of twenty or thirty people, and in this larger courtyard, it does not seem crowded.

"There aren't many people here, but they are all really influential people in Daijun." Tang Zi looked around, then spit out such a sentence, and glanced at Murong Hao quietly, who also moved in his heart, looking at the people in the courtyard thoughtfully.

He could see a faint look of worry on the faces of many people.

Next, there is a meaningless mutual greeting, which is also a reserved program for this kind of dinner, but this time there is also a link where Tang Zi introduces Murong Hao to everyone.

However, Murong Hao himself wears a disguise, a fake beard, and a pseudonym, so he is not worried about being recognized.

It's just that there is such a person all of a sudden, which inevitably makes people a little confused.

"What's going on with the Tang family? actually brought a Xianbei person over, could it be because Chen Taishou also has a relationship with Xianbei people here? But I heard that today's dinner, then Tuoba Yulu didn't come. ”

After listening to the introduction and greetings, the two brothers Zheng Dun and Zheng Zhi of the Zheng family talked in the corner again, and it was naturally Zheng Zhi who raised questions.

Zheng Dun replied: "Who knows, but this Xianbei person is estimated to be not ordinary, today's dinner, Tai Shou specially explained, is to invite a few of our big clans, other forces are slightly weaker, are not invited, but the Tang family dared to bring this Xianbei person over, nine times out of ten is this person's identity is not ordinary." ”

"It's weird!" Zheng Zhi was muttering, and the crowd suddenly became lively, but it was Chen Zhi who finally appeared, he, the Taishou, was the highest status present, of course, he had to make the finale.

As soon as others came, a low table was set up, everyone was seated, and drinks were served.

Immediately, there was a series of flattery, saying how hard he worked to govern for the people, and many people told him to pay attention to his body and not to work too hard.

If you don't know, you think that what is gathered here is a group of descendants and descendants of Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi responded with a smile, but he was also happy.

As he spoke, Chen Zhi sat on the chairman, raised his glass to everyone and said: "The house is simple, but there is no celebration in the place of the banquet, there is no dancing girl and singer, there is no gossip about a hundred dramas, and the hospitality is not good, don't feel lazy." ”

The crowd quickly responded.

"This is all too much to keep you loving the people like a son, for the sake of the people, but you are so simple, you are really a model for my generation."

"Isn't it, exactly."

"I'm waiting to come over today, not to eat and drink, but to listen to the teachings of Taishou."

Most of the people who said these words were the second-generation children of several families, but others didn't feel numb and disgusting when they heard it, obviously they knew it well and didn't care about it.

Chen Zhi smiled without saying a word, drank it all with everyone, and then asked people to serve the dishes.

The wine and meat were served on low tables, and the smell spread out, which surprised everyone, because the smell was really fragrant.

"It tastes so good, how do you make this dish?" Murong Hao sniffed it, and suddenly his index finger moved, but he still insisted on sitting upright.

These dishes are made according to Chen Zhi's recipes, and his recipes have been tempered thousands of times, in the case of insufficient spices and condiments, after repeated modifications, and his wife has tried, this is tempered, of course, the taste is unique.

Among the people present, there was already a good appetite for tongues, and they couldn't stand the smell of it, but considering the occasion, they didn't move their chopsticks immediately.

"The food is simple, because the house is not big, I can only entertain you in the courtyard, I hope you don't mind." Chen Zhi waved his hand and motioned for everyone to move their chopsticks.

"It's just time to admire the moon."

Everyone said politely, and they couldn't wait to eat, and then their expressions suddenly became wonderful.

"Delicious! It's a delicacy! ”

"Incense, what is this made of?"

"It's delicious!"

As soon as the meal was eaten, everyone couldn't help but praise it.

That Tang Zi's expression changed slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: When these people came over, they were worried, they didn't know what Chen Zhi was going to say, and they were ready to treat it solemnly, but they just ate a bite of food, and the atmosphere changed!
