"Lord Liu, what do you mean, are you going to make a deal with us Hoggs?"

"It's not so much a deal as making a friend."

"Lord Liu is exquisite, I don't know how true or false this is." Daban naturally won't easily believe Liu Yuanzhi's words.

At this time, Shi Min's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Daban Qianhu, I don't know what better choice you have besides?" ”

When Daban heard the prestige, he saw that Shi Min had already walked in, frowned slightly, and said: "I have heard that Master Min is acting above board, but I didn't expect that I also like to listen to the root of the wall. ”

Daban's words were sharp, Liu Yuanzhi was suddenly a little worried, but Shi Min was not annoyed or angry, smiled indifferently, and sat next to Liu Yuanzhi.

Seeing that Shi Min was calm and composed, Daban just pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

"Qianhu, our Zhao Guo is full of promises, what reason do you have not to believe us?"

"People have two skins in their mouths, if they really want to let Curritai go to Zhao Kingdom, how can we still have the right to speak at that time?"

"Then I'm going to ask Qianhu a rhetorical question, what good is it for us to kill Kuritai? Could it be that it was done in order to save one person's food rations? Shi Min asked rhetorically.

Daban was silent, sitting there looking at Liu Yuanzhi and Shi Min.

"As Qianhu knows, the real enemies of Zhao are the Xianbei and Xiongnu, and in the final analysis, what we want is the peaceful coexistence of the Qiang and Zhao. Qianhu should know that Kabu and Mu have no sincere intention of submission......"

"Then dare you ask you, how can you be sure that we Hoggs are willing to submit?" Daban interrupted Shi Min's words.

"Hehe, I want to ask Qianhu a question, if there is no Zhao State as your backing, how long can the Hog people exist in the Qiang tribe?"

"You don't have to worry about it!"

"No, no, no, Lord Qianhu, this is exactly what you are worried about, otherwise why would you come to Lord Liu for a long talk at night? It's not just to drink a bowl of water that Lord Liu poured for you, right? Shi Min smiled and glanced at Liu Yuanzhi.

Liu Yuanzhi took over the words and continued: "Daban Qianhu, now that Kabu is in power, if Kuritai stays in Hexi, it is only a matter of time before your Hoge clan suffers. But if Kuritai returns to Zhao with us, your Hogg clan will be like a mustard in Kab's eyes, and in his opinion, the Hogg people will never have a future. In this way, you can lie down and accumulate strength secretly, and wait for the time to overthrow Ka'b, and then it will be the best time for Kuritai to return to Hexi! Qianhu, what do you think of my analysis? ”

Daban rubbed his beard gently, his eyes were calm, and he repeatedly pondered the words of Shi Min and Liu Yuanzhi.

For Daban and the entire Hogg clan, it was only a matter of time before Kab's poisonous hand reached them, and as long as Kuritai lived for a day, there would be no peace between the two clans. Daban knew this in his heart, and he was even ready to encourage Krar to prepare for a decisive battle with Kabu.

However, Daban knew that with the current strength of the Hogg clan, it could not be compared with the Kabu brothers and sisters at all, and it was tantamount to asking for a dead end. What can be said better is that such an ending may only be a matter of time.

Liu Yuanzhi and Shi Min's plan was not untouched by Daban, and it can even be said that this is the best way. However, like the vast majority of people, in Daban's heart, there is this thought: those who are not of my race must have different hearts.

In the face of these two extremely smart people, Daban really didn't dare to believe it easily, so he was silent for a long time, he slowly got up, and said, "Two, let me and my brother consider this matter. ”

Liu Yuanzhi looked at Shi Min and saw that Shi Min nodded slightly, so he said to Daban: "Time is pressing, we don't care, it depends on the attitude of Daban Qianhu and Claire Qianhu." ”

Daban glanced at the two of them and said, "Farewell." ”

After Daban left, Liu Yuanzhi asked Shi Min: "Why did the son come suddenly?" ”

Shi Min smiled and replied, "I want to see how the adults play with the Qiang people." ”

"Hahaha, Childe laughed, this plan was first thought up by Childe, but it was just borrowed from Childe's light."

"No matter how the Hogg people choose, the fire inside the Qiang people has been ignited by us, let's watch with peace of mind how much this fire will burn!"

"Originally, I just wanted to provoke some disputes within the Qiang people, but I didn't expect Kabu to do things so decisively."

Shi Min sneered and said, "Such a chaotic minister and thief will cause endless harm, and it will be a matter of time before he deals with Kuritai and the Hogg clan!" It's just that his ambitions were exposed earlier! ”

Liu Yuanzhi nodded and said: "Kabu has too many eyes, with him, the Qiang people will only disobey Zhao Guo!" The Hexi region has always been a hidden danger for Zhao State! ”

"The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be taken step by step. The hidden danger of the Qiang nationality cannot be eliminated overnight. The strongest cities are often breached from within, so the more the fire of the Kab and Hogg clans burns now, the less effort it will take for us to destroy them. ”

"Indeed, the scourge of internal strife is far greater than that of a strong foreign enemy."

"There's going to happen anywhere." Shi Min sighed and said again: "Our Zhao Kingdom, isn't it the same now?" The fight between King Yan's Mansion and King Qing's Mansion is in full swing, doesn't Lord Liu have any emotion? ”

Shi Min's words hit the question that Liu Yuanzhi couldn't let go of and couldn't face, and for a while, Liu Yuanzhi didn't know what to say.

At this time, Shi Min said again: "Lord Liu, there is one thing that I have never been able to understand. ”

Liu Yuanzhi sighed softly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard that Lord Liu often went in and out of King Yan's mansion at the beginning, and was a guest of His Royal Highness King Yan, and had a very good personal relationship with His Royal Highness King Yan, why did he later serve under King Qing? With the political opinions of adults, it seems that it does not fit in with King Qing's style of acting......"

"Childe, don't ask about this matter in the future......" Liu Yuanzhi interrupted Shi Min's words.

Liu Yuanzhi's sensitivity to this topic was obviously beyond Shi Min's expectations, and seeing that he didn't want to say more, Shi Min could only stop asking.

Liu Yuanzhi seemed to be a little depressed, and said: "There is really something unspeakable in the future, if you have the opportunity in the future, you should tell the son truthfully." ”

"Lord Liu helped King Qing, it seems that there is something unspeakable, so I won't ask below."

"Ling Zun has won the trust of His Majesty, and with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, he will definitely be the mainstay of Zhao State in the future! Now it is rumored outside that the Xihua Marquis Mansion is already a strong backing of the Yanwang Mansion. I deeply admire Ling Zun and Gongzi, but in the future, we will each have their own masters, and I don't know what will happen to those of us who are courtiers in the future. ”

"My father has no intention of participating in the party struggle, he only wants to protect his family and defend the country and fight on the battlefield! At least here in the Xihuahou Mansion, there is no such thing as the lord of each according to the adults. ”

"Xihuahou is indifferent to fame and fortune, dedicated to the country, and is really a rare virtuous general! It's just that there is a word of persuasion below, and I don't know if the son can convey it on his behalf. ”

"Your Excellency, please speak!"

"Although the Marquis of Xihua has not been crowned king, he has already worshiped the Marquis, and His Majesty's favor and trust in Lingzun, coupled with the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the hands of your father and son, the battle for succession, it is absolutely impossible for the Marquis of Xihua Mansion to stay out of the matter. The current situation is nothing more than the two camps of Yanwangfu and Qingwangfu. If the Xihua Hou Mansion insists on watching and no one helps, then no matter who is on the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, the Xihua Hou Mansion will not end well, so Min Gongzi and Ling Zun still need to see the reality clearly and make a choice as soon as possible. ”

Shi Min nodded and asked tentatively, "Then in my lord's opinion, which side of the Xihua Marquis Mansion is safe?" ”

Liu Yuanzhi naturally knew that Shi Min was testing him, so he smiled and said: "How to choose, it's not good to give any advice, it depends on Ling Zun's meaning!" ”

After Liu Yuanzhi finished speaking, he stood up, paced to the door of the tent, put his hands behind his back, and said again: "In this life, one is to honor the ancestors, and the other is to serve the people of the world." The merits and demerits are left to the descendants to say, just to bow down and die! ”[.]
