"Meet Daduhu."

"Gongyuan is here, why haven't you visited the princess recently?"

"The princess is pregnant, her mood is not very stable, you are a brother, you have more time to spend with her."

"No, when the game is over, I'll go to visit Madame."

After talking to Dadu Hu, Fu Guang casually found a seat and sat down.

However, it was clear that he was not focused on the game and kept thinking about how to speak.

Looking at Fu Guang's restless appearance, Wei Shuo couldn't help but smile.

He had received a secret report that he knew that Houyan's envoys, Gao Hu and Fu Mo, had arrived in Guzang and visited Fu Guang.

He also knows that Fu Guang wants to take the opportunity to show and seek a comeback.

However, in the short term, Fu Guang is likely to remain idle until the Di people are fully integrated into the Han people.

In fact, not only Fu Guang was idle, but other people such as Bald Wugu, Helian Bobo, Fuqu Mengxun and others were also idle to varying degrees.

The purpose of this is naturally to worry about the crowd sitting big.

In particular, there are a large number of Di people in the Longyou area, and Fu Guang was once a former Qin Situ, and his prestige is very high.

Before the people are completely digested, it is easy to reuse Fu Guang to make it bigger.

Glancing at Fu Guang, who wanted to speak and stopped, Wei Shuo asked with concern: "Gong Yuan seems to be preoccupied, is there something unspeakable?" ”

"This ...... This, yesterday a relative came to my family, claiming to be an envoy of Houyan, and he came to visit Dadu Hu. ”

"Originally, I didn't dare to meddle in official affairs, but the other party said that Hexi and Houyan had a big fight, and they didn't dare to ask to see Dadu Hu, and wanted to let Zai Xian explore Dadu Hukoufeng."

"Only when they are allowed to pay an official visit to Daduhu."

"I don't dare to make decisions without permission, I want to ask Dadu Hu, how to deal with this matter?"

Wei Shuo pretended not to know and asked, "Your relatives?" Who? ”

"Houyan Zhongshan Yin Fumo, this person is an elder in the lower clan. It's just that the relationship between the two families is estranged and they have long since broken off contact. ”

"I didn't think that today he would ask to be in front of the next door, and Guang was worried about delaying the big thing, so he brought the two of them here."

As for the intentions of Gao Hu and Fu Mo, Wei Shuo had already guessed that he just wanted to form an alliance with Hexi.

If he guessed correctly, Hou Yan would soon go north to conquer the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In order to prevent the recurrence of the 'joint Yan' situation, Houyan was eager to reach a compromise with Hexi to remove the flank threat.

However, there is no unified understanding of whether Hexi should be Lianwei or Lianyan next.

It is said that the Northern Wei Dynasty is a problem for the henchmen of Hexi, and it is most important to unite with Houyan to destroy Tuoba Jue first.

It's just that in this way, it will inevitably affect the plan to enter Guanzhong in the east, and it is not even ruled out that Later Qin and Northern Wei will bite Hexi.

If the alliance Wei destroys Qin, although it can successfully take Guanzhong in the east, and then become a strong Qin, it will also allow the Northern Wei to take the opportunity to become bigger.

Both strategies have pros and cons, and there are many people behind them who support them, and Wei Shuo himself has not made a clear statement.

"Most of the protection, most of the ......"

Just as Wei Shuo was deep in thought, he suddenly felt the placket of his clothes move, and it turned out that Song Miao was reminding him to be distracted.

Wei Shuo glanced apologetically at Song Xuan, and then at Fu Guang, who was waiting for him to reply.

He groaned slightly: "You go and bring the envoys of Houyan, and Shuo will meet them first to see what they have to say." ”

"No, I'll go."

When Fu Guang went to call Gao Hu and Fu Mo, Wei Shuo and a few henchmen were discussing how to reply to Hou Yan.

"Alas, Lianyan? Or Lianwei? That's a problem. ”

"Yes, no matter which side is united, there are pros and cons for Hexi."

"Why don't you wait and see for a moment or two, anyway, it's not in a hurry?" Song Miao proposed.

"It seems that this is the only way to do it now, wait until you listen to the words of Gao and Fu first."

Only a moment later, Gao Hu and Fu Mo were led to the box by Fu Guang.

Looking at Gao Hu and Fu Mo standing in front of him, Wei Shuo's eyes were full of brilliance.

It's not that he has any special fetishes, but although these two people are not very famous in history, their descendants are too powerful.

Let's talk about Gaohu first, the Bohai Gao family is the top family in Hebei.

Historically, the Gao family has produced many talents, and during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were many talents.

Gao Yin, Gao Zhan, Gao Tai, and Gao Hu are all famous, and Gao Hu's nephew Gao Yun is a famous minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan, the great-grandson of Gao Hu, was powerful all over the world, and he was known as Yuwentai and Yuwentai.

Although Fu Mo's son is not powerful, his two daughters are rare and peerless beauties.

Murong Xi of Houyan was fascinated, and even after his death, he was also jianshi.

"Hu (Mo) to meet Dadu Hu."

"You two have come from afar, you don't have to be formal, please sit down and talk."

"Thank you."

After Gao Hu and Fu Mo sat down, Wei Shuo asked with a smile: "I heard that Emperor Yan's body is itchy, I don't know what is happening now?" Have you ever been cured? ”

As soon as these words came out, Gao Hu and Fu Mo immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

They looked at each other silently, and they both saw a hint of horror in each other's eyes.

It is said that Murong Hang's illness is highly confidential for Hou Yan, how could it reach the ears of Dadu?

Could it be that someone in the high-level of Houyan secretly took refuge in Hexi? Otherwise, there is no way to explain what is happening in front of you.

How did they know that Wei Shuo was purely blind by relying on modern historical knowledge.

"Hehe, most of the guards laughed, Your Majesty is in good health, how can you ever be sick?"

Seeing Gao Hu deny it, Wei Shuo just smiled disapprehantly.

"I don't know why Emperor Yan sent the two here?"

Dadu Hu no longer entangled Murong Chui's body, which made Gao Hu and Fu Mo secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Gao Hu hurriedly got up and replied: "Dadu Hu, I came here this time to promote a friendly alliance between Hexi and Dayan. ”

"Hahaha, friendly?" Wei Shuo shook his head noncommittally.

"What? Does Dadu Hu believe in Dayan's sincerity? ”

"No, no."

"The two envoys don't know, right now, not only Houyan wants to form an alliance, but even the Northern Wei Dynasty also wants to form an alliance with Hexi."

"Now there is a lot of quarrel in Hexi about this, and no agreement has been reached."

looked at Dadu Hu's serious nonsense, and the staff next to Cui Hao, Liu Muzhi, Song Miao and other staff members almost burst into laughter.

Why did the Northern Wei Dynasty also want to form an alliance, it's all blind!

To be precise, it was Hexi who wavered in the choice of Northern Wei and Houyan.

Just as Gao Hu was trying to persuade Wei Shuo, he heard a tsunami-like shout outside.

The loud sound almost deafened the ears of everyone in the box.

In addition to Gao Hu and Fu Mo, Wei Shuo and others all know that this is the beginning of the horse race.

The exciting horse racing competition began, and huge cheers poured into the box from all directions.

For a while, the box was full of noise, and it was impossible to communicate at all.

The crowd had no choice but to put aside their other thoughts for a while and concentrate on enjoying the horse race.

After a short time, it finally entered the official horse race, and a group of ten riders led their respective mounts into the race.

A large number is written on the back of each rider, along with the saddle pad cloth of each horse.

Wei Shuo raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, only to see a sea of people on the field.

The people in the box choose their horses early and hand them over to the betting place at the racecourse along with the chips they have placed.

When the contest is over, they can redeem their prize money at the counter according to the result.

Gao Hu and Fu Mo couldn't help but be stunned as they watched a group of people fall into a frenzy for the few horses below.

After a game, not to mention other income, just the income from boxes, tickets, etc., is a lot of money.

When Gao Hu made a rough calculation in his heart, he found that the annual tax paid by this racecourse to Hexi was more than the income of a medium-sized county in Houyan.

When he was shocked by the high income of the racecourse, he also saw the drawbacks.

As a traditional Confucian scholar, Gao Hu has always taken a strict attitude towards gambling, advocating suppression rather than encouragement.

Horse racing is obviously another form of gambling, and in Gao Hu's eyes, it has become Hexi's encouragement for people to participate in gambling.

In fact, Gao Hu misunderstood Wei Shuo, in Wei Shuo's opinion, it is better to block than to sparse.

Blindly banning gambling is never a good policy, and only guiding people to establish a correct concept of gambling is the right way.

Although betting on horses is also gambling, its risk is much smaller than that of casinos.

It took a long time for the racecourse to calm down.

And everyone's faces are all showing a look of unfinished desire, obviously everyone is not happy yet, but unfortunately today's game is over, can only wait for the next time to participate.

Before leaving, Wei Shuo said to Gao Hu: "If you want Hexi to form an alliance with Houyan, Houyan must come up with conditions that make Hexi happy." ”

"Mr. Obuchi will think about it when he goes back, and then he will come back to find him when he understands it."

Gao Hu was stunned on the spot, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.
