In the midst of the disturbances, the Tuyuhun chieftain saw his son Shu Luogan, Rouran Khan, Yu Jiulu, Shelun's son, Cheluhui, Kangju, Dawan and other vassal envoys arrived in Chang'an one after another.

At the same time, Nanjun Gonghuan Xuan also entered Guanzhong with several henchmen.

The carriage kept moving forward on the wide and straight cement road, and Huan Xuan looked at the wheat fields on both sides of the road through the car window, as if he had come to another world.

"Wei Zhiyuan is really extraordinary, it has only been two or three months since the recovery of Guanzhong, and there have been earth-shaking changes in various places."

"The lord doesn't know that now Hexi dominates the Silk Road, and every year just foreign trade can make millions of huge profits."

"Luxury goods and daily necessities such as glaze, cotton, roasted tea, porcelain, etc., which sell all over the world, are all from Hexi."

"With money, it's much easier to do anything."

"Take the straight road from Wuguan to Chang'an under your feet, how can you build it without money?"

Looking at Yin Zhongwen's face full of envy, a trace of gloom flashed in Huan Xuan's eyes.

Don't look at the friendship between Huan Xuan and Wei Shuo, but when it comes to the struggle for hegemony in the world, any friendship is in vain.

The stronger Hexi's strength is, the more jealous Huan Xuan is in his heart, and the more he dare not act rashly.

This time, he insisted on going north by car, obviously to congratulate Wei Shuo, but in fact he wanted to explore Wei Shuo's style, and it was best to persuade the other party to remain neutral in the Jingyang dispute.

Yin Zhongwen saw a trace of worry on Huan Xuan's face, and comforted him with a busy smile: "The lord doesn't need to worry too much, even if he can't persuade King Yong to remain neutral in the end, it's actually not a big deal." ”

"Why?"

"Because at present, Hexi does not have the strength to meddle in Jiangdong."

"As the saying goes, you have to eat one bite at a time, and if you eat too quickly and too much, it will be easy to choke and hold on."

"In Hexi, in just a few months, King Yong destroyed Hou Qin, drove away Murong De, defeated Tuoba Jue, and occupied the entire Yongzhou and most of Sizhou."

"And that's just like a person who eats and eats."

"What does Hexi need most at the moment? Not in a hurry to expand, but to stop and digest those new territories. ”

"Otherwise, why didn't King Yong take advantage of the victory in Yecheng to directly wave his troops to Hebei?"

"So the lord can relax and don't let Hexi see that you have a request, so as not to be peeped at and the lion opens his mouth."

Huan Xuan was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Bengong do your best." ”

……

In the palace, Cui Hao, the new Shangshu's right servant, walked quickly to the outside of the side hall and asked Kang Long, who was guarding outside, "Is the king here?" ”

"In!" Kang Long nodded and said, "The king has already ordered the servant to come and go in directly." ”

Cui Hao bowed his head slightly and walked in.

In the side hall, Wei Shuo was discussing the details of the wedding with Song Xuan, Zhang Zhan and others.

With the arrival of guests from all walks of life, the festive atmosphere in Chang'an City is becoming stronger and stronger.

And everything is pre-planned, and if it is not pre-planned, it will be wasted, so the government must make arrangements in advance.

Just as everyone was discussing it, Cui Hao walked in, bowed and saluted, "See the king." ”

"Bo Yuan is here, please take a seat." Wei Shuo smiled and asked Cui Hao to sit down, and ordered the guards to serve tea.

"Just now, I discussed the details of the marriage with Tiye, Zhong Xuan and others."

"Oops! Only then did I find out that the marriage was so troublesome, which really made me lonely and happy. ”

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

After the joke, Cui Hao owed Wei Shuo slightly.

"Lord, the minister has just received an urgent report, saying that Huan Xuan has passed the Wuguan and is expected to arrive in Chang'an tomorrow morning."

"Huan Xuannan came to show that the Jingzhou uprising is imminent, but this is exactly what we are looking forward to."

Wei Shuo nodded silently, Cui Hao was very right, Huan Xuan's rebellion was the most beneficial to Hexi.

Only in this way can Hexi have the opportunity to fight Yizhou and fight the Central Plains.

Now that Huan Xuan is going north in person, it is obvious that he wants to win the support of Hexi, and at the worst of all, he has to keep Hexi neutral.

Zhang Zhan next to him smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is a good thing!" ”

Wei Shuo paced back and forth in the hall with his hands in his hands, not only thinking about himself, but also about Liu Yu, who was quelling the rebellion in the southeast.

Under his influence, Liu Yu stepped onto the stage of history in advance, and his strength was far more powerful than in history.

After a few laps in the hall, Wei Shuo sat down again, looked at Cui Hao and asked, "How does Bo Yuan think Liu Yu will react?" ”

Cui Hao pinched his chin and smiled: "Has Your Highness ever wondered why Liu Yu has not quelled the southeast rebellion until now?" ”

Wei Shuo groaned slightly, as if he had realized: "Isn't it because the strength of the Heavenly Master Dao is too strong??" ”

"That's just one of them!" Cui Hao smiled slightly.

"Liu Yu is not Liu Gaozhi in his twilight years, he is in the prime of life, and his energy, strategy and even personal bravery are at their peak."

"The new army under his command is not a corrupt and degenerate old soldier of Beifu, and the combat effectiveness of the two is even more incomparable."

"But now that nearly a month has passed, Liu Yu has not made any other movements except for the success of the surprise attack on Yuyao."

"Of course, it can also be said that Heavenly Master Sun Tai was too cunning and did not give Liu Yu the slightest opportunity."

"However, his subordinates felt that the real reason why Liu Yu was so slow to quell the rebellion was not the case, he seemed to be deliberately waiting for something."

"The lord has always been wise, I don't know if I can guess what Liu Yu is waiting for?"

Unexpectedly, without waiting for Wei Shuo to speak, Song Xuan next to him blurted out: "He is also waiting for Huan Xuan to raise troops." ”

……

The next day, when Huan Xuan saw Wei Shuo personally go out of Chang'an to meet him, his vanity was greatly satisfied.

He stepped forward affectionately and pulled Wei Shuo, sighing.

"Naoyuan, don't come to harm?"

"Time flies so fast, when Jiangling said goodbye, four years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Hahaha, Nanjun Gong is still in style."

Outside Chang'an City, Wei and Huan greeted each other as if no one was around.

Suddenly, Huan Xuan leaned into Wei Shuo's ear and whispered, "Zhiyuan, this time I came specifically for help, so you don't have to excuse yourself." ”

Wei Shuo said quietly: "Lone and Nanjun Gong have a good relationship, but if you ask for something, although you say it bluntly, I will definitely help." ”

"Hahaha, Naoyuan is really refreshing!" Saying that, Huan Xuan turned around and pointed at Yin Zhongwen, Huan Shikang, Hu Fan and others.

"The three of them are all talents in Jingzhou, and this time they followed my father all the way north, just to see the style of Zhiyuan."

Yin Zhongwen, Huan Shikang, Hu Fan and others didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Yong at the lower level." ”

"The person standing in the middle is Yin Zhongwen, who is the brother-in-law of Bengong, and is currently serving as a witness in the government to join the army."

"The person on the right side of Yin's army is his cousin Huan Shikang, who is also a tiger general."

"As for the young man on the left, his name is Hu Fan, who joined the army in his father's mansion."

"Hu Senjun was born in the Guanlong family and settled the Hu family, he came to Chang'an this time to go back to his hometown to sweep the tomb, I don't know if it's convenient?"

Wei Shuo was full of smiles, and his eyes swept over the faces of Yin Zhongwen, Huan Shikang, and Hu Fan one by one.

Especially when he swept over Hu Fan, his eyes suddenly emitted a hot light, this is a great talent full of strategy.

"Hahaha, welcome to Chang'an."

"Please rest assured that Hu Senjun will come and go freely according to his personal preferences."

Wei Shuo smiled heartily, and with a wave of his big hand, he led the people of Jingzhou to slowly enter Chang'an City.

That night, Wei Shuo held a banquet in the palace to entertain Huan Xuan.

There were only a few people at the entire banquet, such as Huan Xuan, Wei Shuo, Yin Zhongwen, and Cui Hong.

The guests and hosts on both sides sat down, Wei Shuo raised his wine glass, and said with a smile: "Alone with a glass of wine, talk about your heart." ”

Huan Xuan elegantly picked up the wine glass, drank the wine gently, looked at Wei Shuo and said: "The battle in Guanzhong can be said to be known all over the world. ”

Wei Shuo smiled silently, did not answer Huan Xuan's words, but asked frankly: "Let's get down to business, I don't know why the father-in-law of Nanjun came this time?" ”

Huan Xuan was stunned, he didn't expect Wei Shuo to be so direct.

He hesitated, then asked tentatively.

"Naoyuan, what do you think of the current imperial court?"

"Lonely is a prince of a foreign domain, how can you evaluate the current court?" Wei Shuo was embarrassed.

Seeing that Wei Shuo never easily confided his true thoughts, Huan Xuan couldn't help but get anxious.

Yin Zhongwen next to him saw this scene, so he asked for Huan Xuan: "Today, both inside and outside the court and the opposition are talking about the dictatorship of King Ji, it's rare that His Royal Highness hasn't heard a little rumor?" ”

Wei Shuo blinked his eyes and said unhurriedly: "I've heard some rumors, but I don't know how they are. ”

"If Nanjun Gong raises troops on the side of Qingjun, I don't know which side King Yong is going to stand on?"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall, and Huan Xuan, Yin Zhongwen and others stared at Wei Shuo with blazing eyes.

In front of everyone's eyes, Wei Shuo unhurriedly picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, he carefully said: "As long as you don't overthrow the Jin family, you will ignore it." ”

"Is this Naogen telling the truth?" Huan Xuan said excitedly.

"Of course! Lone and Nanjun Gong have a good relationship, can they still lie? ”
