In the first year of Long'an, the Son of Heaven decreed that Dadu Guard Shuo was the king of Yong, and married the princess of Jinling to Hexi.

In September, Wei Shuo was enthroned as King Yong in Chang'an and invited guests from all over the world to Chang'an to attend the wedding banquet.

After receiving the invitation, Nanjun Gonghuan Xuan immediately went to Chang'an to congratulate him.

As soon as they met, Huan Xuan intentionally or unintentionally tested Hexi.

And in the end, Wei Shuo's assurances finally dispelled Huan Xuan's doubts.

Ran Huan Xuan went north this time, not only to find out Wei Shuo's attitude, but also to take the opportunity to ask for money and food.

At the banquet, Huan Xuan looked Weiyang Palace up and down, although it was slightly dilapidated, it was also more luxurious than ordinary houses.

He said with envy on his face: "Zhiyuan, you are really good here, much stronger than Jiangling." ”

The banquet has been held so far, but Huan Xuan has always called King Yong, which suddenly made Song Xuan, Cui Hao and others feel unhappy.

But Wei Shuo didn't think so, he knew Huan Xuan's character very well, he had always been extremely conceited, and he would never bow his head to outsiders easily.

So, he smiled and replied: "Nanjun Gong said it was funny!" ”

"This is called the predecessors planting trees, and the descendants enjoying the shade, but Shuo is just picking up a ready-made."

Huan Xuan patted the case, pointed at Wei Shuo and laughed: "Zhiyuan is a cheerful person, and he has a temper with his father. ”

Halfway through the wine, Huan Xuan said half-drunk and half-sober: "Chang'an is really a good place, my father-in-law doesn't want to leave." ”

"It's better to ask for an errand here in Naoyuan, be a rich man, and get drunk and dream of dying."

"This is very good, the general trend of Guanlong has been decided, and it needs important ministers of the court to guard it."

"If Nanjun Gong wants to come, Shuo is willing to abdicate and make way for Xian, but I don't know if Nanjun Gong is willing to give in?"

"Succumb? Now there are nearly eight states under the rule of Hexi, and the territory is almost the same as the imperial court, how can it be considered condescending? ! ”

"However, don't worry about Naoyuan, I'll just talk about it casually."

"Really let someone come to Chang'an to work, that's a fool's dream!"

"Without Zhiyuan's permission, among the civil and military generals in Hexi, which one of them can I instruct?"

"I'd better go back to Jiangling and be an honest Nanjun duke."

Faced with Huan Xuan's words that he didn't know if he was really drunk, Wei Shuo had no choice but to laugh and say nothing.

And the other people present were also thoughtful when they heard this.

"Chang'an is a good place, but that is also Zhiyuan's ability, and he fought it with his own knife and gun!"

"My Huan Xuan is from a wealthy family, no matter how bad it is, I won't start grabbing my brother's territory!"

Hearing Huan Xuan's words, Wei Shuo couldn't help but be moved, Huan Xuan is indeed a true temperament, and he has nothing to say to him.

His nose was slightly sour, and he said busily: "My brother is naturally noble, and he can create a career in the future." ”

"Wan ...... In case of any difficulties in the future, the elder brother can just speak, and the younger brother will do his best. ”

Huan Xuan couldn't help but be even happier after hearing this, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, you have this heart, and I feel very happy for my brother." ”

"I don't hide some things from my brother, Lao Tzu has been with the Sima family since the day he was born in the Huan family."

"Not to mention that I have to do something in the future, at least I have to breathe a bad breath for the grievances I have suffered in the past few years."

Huan Xuan used the intention of wine to say some heart-wrenching words to Wei Shuo.

"Don't look at Jingzhou's fierce trouble now, maybe one day Lao Tzu's head will fall to the ground."

"To be honest, if it weren't for the continuous supply of ordnance by Zhiyuan over the years, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"Maybe I was cut off by Yin Zhongkan or Yang Yanqi, two bastards."

"Lone and Nanjun Gong can be said to be familiar at first sight, who else can you help if you are not busy?"

"In this way, Lone will support my brother with a batch of grain, grass, and ordnance."

"Good! Good! Huan Xuan shouted twice when he heard this, and drank a few glasses of wine in a row.

Seeing King Yong so refreshing, Yin Zhongwen and Feng Gai couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

And Cui Hao next to him saw this scene, and secretly felt sad for Huan Xuan in his heart, this time Huan Xuan was fooled by King Yong again.

On the matter of supporting Huan Xuan, Hexi has long reached an agreement, and they all believe that the benefits of supporting Jingzhou outweigh the disadvantages.

Because Jingzhou is the most suitable shield at present, it is enough to attract most of the firepower of the imperial court, so that Hexi can digest and absorb the newly occupied territory.

When it comes to money, food, and armor, Wei Shuo is not stingy, and he waves his hand and 30,000 stone of grain and 20,000 sets of paper armor.

He had already discussed with Song Xuan, Cui Hao, Wang Zhenwei and others, and the more Huan Xuan made trouble in Jiangdong, the more beneficial it would be to Hexi.

And they all agreed that with Huan Xuan's ability, although it can hit the Jin family hard, it is estimated that it will not be able to replace the Jin family, so they are not worried about Huan Xuan sitting big one day.

At the banquet, Huan Xuan was very interested, and always felt that this time he did not come in vain, not only did he get Wei Shuo's promise in person, but he also got a batch of materials in vain.

At the same time, he became more and more interested in Wei Shuo, as if he regarded Wei Shuo as his own brother.

……

At the end of the banquet, Huan Xuan was sent away, and Wei Shuo ordered the people to remove the wine, replace it with tea, and leave Cui Hao and Song Xuan behind.

Wei Shuo took a sip of tea, and suddenly said: "Tiye, Bo Yuan, will Lone's use of Huan Xuan like this make you think that Shuo is very despicable?" ”

Song Miao and Cui Hao glanced at each other, gently swiped the tea cup in their hands, and did not take the stubble.

King Yong trusts them very much and does not avoid them in anything, so it is they who know Wei Shuo best in the world.

On the one hand, Wei Shuo showed affection and righteousness everywhere, and in this way, he firmly encircled a large number of talents such as Wang Maide, and was desperate for him.

And the people under his rule are even more popular and praise King Yong.

But secretly, Wei Shuo has no shortage of schemes.

He ostensibly respected the imperial court, but secretly calculated the Southern Dynasty many times.

He was aware of Huan Xuan's conspiracy, but not only did he not stop it, but secretly contributed to it and let Huan Xuan ascend to power.

There are all kinds of types, which shows that the king of Yong, who is famous for his ability to conquer and fight, is actually very deep in Shangcheng, and there is no lack of power and tricks.

After a while, Song Miao said vaguely: "Those who have always achieved great things are not informal." ”

"As long as Your Highness does not lose his benevolence towards the people, there will be no problem."

"Yes, what the body industry says is very true!"

"The ministers' actions, such as the separation of powers, legislation, etc., are all for the sake of the people, and it is precisely because of this that the ministers are loyal to His Highness."

"So as long as Your Highness loves the people and has the world in mind, it is enough."

"Love the people and have the world in mind......"

To be honest, just now Wei Shuo did feel a little guilty about Huan Xuan in his heart, and he always felt sorry for the other party.

But when I thought that the Chinese people would encounter hundreds of years of war in the future, the softness that had just risen in my heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.

As for Huan Xuan, it's a big deal to keep the other party's family in the future, and it can be regarded as making up for today's mistakes.

After a long time, Wei Shuo gradually left other clues behind and began to take the initiative to change the topic.

"Bo Yuan, Ti Ye, in the opinion of the two of you, what is the most important thing in Hexi next?"

Seeing that Wei Shuo was no longer sentimental, Song Xuan and Tiye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly thought about the problem in front of them.

Indeed, judging from the current situation, there is really no major event in Hexi for the time being.

After the Wei State was beaten, he was trying his best to plan the Northern Expedition and wanted to unify Liaodong.

And Liu Yu had just taken Yuyao, and he was confronting the Heavenly Master Dao, and he couldn't tell the winner for a while.

Looking around, Hexi really doesn't have any major events except for continuing to recuperate.

"I think the first thing is to continue to support Huan Xuan, and then we need to have a good relationship with the imperial court." Song Xuan said after some consideration.

"Why?"

"Supporting Huan Xuan is to let it disturb Jiangdong, only when Jiangdong is turbulent, can Hexi have a chance to expand."

"And Hexi's outward expansion of power is nothing more than two roads, all the way south from Longyou, taking Hanzhong and Shudi; All the way east out of Taihang Mountain to take Hebei. ”

"Needless to say, Hebei's main opponent is Suolu, so we just have to fight."

"But if you take Shuzhong, you must get the permission of the imperial court, and if you don't have a good relationship with the imperial court, I am afraid that it will be difficult to send troops south in the future."

"Well, that's true! Bo Yuan, what has happened in Shu recently? ”

"Now the Yizhou Thorn History is Mao Xuan, after the famous general Mao Bao, and the Liangzhou Thorn Shi is Huan Xi, another Huan disciple."

"In the future, once Huan Xuan raises troops, conflicts will inevitably break out between Yiliang."

"In addition to Huan Xi and Mao Xuan, the biggest destabilizing factor in Yizhou is the local powerful forces."

"No accident, when Yiliang becomes a pot of porridge in the future, Shu Dihao will be strong and will set off a rebellion, and then it will be Hexi's turn to go south under the banner of counterinsurgency."
