Chapter 55: Three Birds with One Stone (Part II)
For two days in a row, the patriarch of Xie Ra went out early and returned late, and went to visit some tribal leaders, the most important thing was Keru and Sunu father and son, and the patriarch of Xie Ra carefully tried to test his bottom line many times, waiting for the most suitable time to speak. And Zhuang Yi got up early every day to supervise the practice of border martial arts, and he also practiced big guns and cavalry shooting, and came to Zhang Yitai to drink tea and play chess, and his life was very comfortable.
Seeing that this day was the last half of the day, the patriarch of Xie Ra went out early in the morning and did not come back at noon, it seemed that things were still not progressing, Zhuang Yi finally became a little anxious, and asked Zhang Yitai to discuss, and also thought that he could not wait any longer.
In the early afternoon, the patriarch came back with a happy face, and asked Zhuang Yi and Zhang Yitai to come over, saying that they were still sick when they went to Zhu. He went to see Keru and Sunu father and son again, and after vaguely and tortuously expressing the sincerity of Turus's appeasement, Keru, who was conservative and old-fashioned, immediately refused sternly. On the contrary, Sunu's attitude became ambiguous, and this was exactly the result that Zhuang Yi and the Patriarch wanted.
"Even so! We are running out of time, and Sunu does not have enough time to set things up, so I am afraid that things are still very variable. Zhang Yitai lowered his head and pondered for a while, then spoke.
"It doesn't matter! How can things in this world be settled step by step! As long as Sunu is greedy, we can hold Sunu hostage and let him help us succeed and deal with the aftermath. I don't know if Su Nu has ever said, when will you let you see us? And will his dad Keru be a bad thing? Zhuang Yi clasped his hands, touched his chin and asked thoughtfully, turning his head to see the nervous look on the face of the patriarch, as if he was a little worried about the result.
"But the Ru people are old and refined, they shouldn't even talk to Quzhu about this kind of thing, I hope to see Quzhu today, but Sunu doesn't have time to prepare! What he meant was that he had to contact his subordinates, hoping to delay a few days before starting it. Patriarch Xie explained.
"What's the other thing to slow down...... Wait a few more days for the daylily to be cold, or ask the patriarch to run again and make it clear to Sunu that this kind of matter of taking millet from the fire should be as soon as possible, and you must not hesitate. Zhuang Yi rolled his eyes and said categorically.
"Oh well! I'm going to ...... You wait for my news. The patriarch replied, turned around and walked out of the tent, Zhuang Yi and Zhang Yitai didn't bother to return to the tent, so they sat here and waited.
Soon, the patriarch of Xie Lai returned, saying that it was through Sunu's persuasion that he had agreed to meet them tomorrow morning. Although Zhuang Yi was slightly dissatisfied with this result, he was helpless......
On the day that Zhuang Yi left the tent of King Xi and went to Baoqiushui with the patriarch of Xie Ra, he knew about it, so he didn't care about accompanying the Bohai envoy, and hurriedly rushed into Ailan's big tent, and angrily stepped forward and roared: "Ailan! The Youzhou robber and the chief of the Jiera clan went to find it, but it was just ...... What are they going to do? You know Zhuang Yi's whereabouts, why didn't you tell me? ”
"How do I know about your men's affairs, where they are going, can I control them? What did you ask your father about it, but you came to me and asked, "What is this?" Alan fought back sharply.
"What...... You...... Since you say so, you and your father know the inside story, right? Why don't I know? He was choked half to death during the operation, and suddenly asked tentatively with a cloudy face.
"What an inside story! I don't know what you're talking about...... I'm going to decoct A-Niang, so I'm going to accompany you! Alan snorted, turned and left.
"Inside ......" muttered a sentence in the operation, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his face was gloomy, and he was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to do for a while. What he was most worried about was that Zhuang Yi and the Clan Patriarch would be alarmed, and their affairs would fall short.
Of course, it's better to go to the anger of the people and kill the thief and the Reconciliation Gang together, and so on...... Will you go to the councils and kill them? If he doesn't kill him, then I'll let him kill him...... This is really a good trick to kill people with a knife, and it can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
The death of that robber and Xie Ra will be the best excuse for me to send troops to fight against Quzhu, and then Quzhu will also die. That's two people, plus the Yuan Qi fold of the Xie La, and the five Xi people are three in my hands, and the position of the son of the world is as stable as Mount Tai from now on, and it is even possible to stand on behalf of the father and become the actual speaker of the entire Xi clan.
As for facing the Khitan, he may not be able to win the battle, plus the two allies who can be very iron, Heichezi Murowei and Bohai State, what else do you have to worry about.
Thinking of this, Shuri was so proud that he almost laughed. But this matter, you can't ask your father, you can only go to your uncle to discuss, and immediately turned around and left Ailan's camp, turned over and rode out of the camp on a war horse, recruited subordinate guards, and went to find a bone slave in the place and the department.
He Gunu has been very busy these days, not only has to prepare the candidates and food and grass for the troops, but also is responsible for contacting the people of Heichezi Murowei, so that he can divide the attack and succeed in one blow. But his men and horses will be the main force of this use of troops, and they are the people who actually dispatch and operate in the middle, although they also have to bring some troops, and the two will inevitably discuss this matter from time to time.
found the bone slave in the operation, told Zhuang Yi and the patriarch of Xie Ra about it, and briefly said the plan in his heart, but hid his true purpose. He Gu Nu was surprised and delighted when he heard this, he didn't expect that his grandson would still have such a scheming, he strongly agreed with this matter, and he couldn't help but glance at the operation again.
He Gu Nu immediately decided to personally go to see the Qihekun patriarch of the Duji Department, and let him act in front of the Zhu, and instigate the Zhuzhu to get rid of Zhuang Yi and reconcile the Gang, then the result will be very different, maybe his own department and the department can also share more benefits.
Early this morning, Zhuang Yi did not wear the kind of round-necked narrow-sleeved robe as usual, but wore a royal blue narrow-sleeved right short jacket, and the cuffs were tightened with cowhide wristbands. He wore royal blue linen trousers, a black leather belt around his waist, and black leather boots. After thinking about it, he tucked a pair of short daggers into the boots and tied them with the small belts of the stockings. Only then did he call Bian Wu, let him bring his respective mounts, and hang the bow and arrow, horizontal knife, and dragon spear on the back of the big black horse one by one.
"Master! So solemn...... Is there something going on? Bian Wu saw something and asked with some puzzlement.
"You've been improving lately, just follow me later, maybe there's going to be a tough fight. Shi Dazhong, Kang Zhenghe and Mr. Zhang, as well as the men on the side of the Xie Ra patriarch, stayed in the camp together. ”
"Ah...... All right! A few days ago, I had a small fight with the Khitans, which was not enjoyable, and it is rare that there is a war today. Bian Wu was not only not afraid, but was gearing up and said excitedly.
Zhuang Yi couldn't help laughing, for beginners in martial arts, what they most desire is to have an opponent, and he understands this situation very well.
