Helan Feng stared at him for a long time, and asked coldly: "I saw that you are quite courageous in the palace today, I don't know what your official position is?" ”

Fu Yashi replied lightly: "Back to the Prime Minister, I am just a citizen of Daliang and have no official position. ”

Helan Feng was surprised, stunned for a moment, suddenly laughed, pointed to the chair on the right, and said, "Interesting, sit down and say." ”

"Thank you, sir." Fu Yashi thanked him and swung his shirt and sat on the side of Helan Peak.

Helan Feng leaned over and asked, "If you don't have an official position, why did you send an envoy to the Qi State?" ”

"Back to my lord, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. Although I am not an official, I am willing to contribute to the country. Fu Yashi replied humbly.

"Hehe, then I'll listen to you and see how you can contribute to the country." Helan Feng brushed off his beard, picked up the teacup, glanced at Fu Yashi, put the teacup down again, and shouted out the door: "Come on, serve new tea." ”

Fu Yashi thought for a moment and said: "The three kingdoms of Liang Qishang rely on each other, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. There are angry and humble in the north of Qi State, sometimes invading the border, there are merchants in the west, and there are Liang in the south, so it is necessary to deploy troops from three sides, which is quite expensive and food-consuming. Liang's civil war had just been unified, and the domestic troops were seriously damaged, and the city was in urgent need of repair, and it was difficult to supply grain and grass. And the Shang country, has been raising troops and accumulating grain, hoarding grain and grass, and now has developed a strong bow, I am afraid that the strength of the country is no less than that of Qi. ”

Helan Feng listened carefully, holding a teacup in his hand but never drank tea.

Fu Yashi glanced at him and continued: "If the Three Kingdoms go to one of them, does the prime minister want to leave the powerful Shang State, or the Liang State, which is slightly weaker and not good at war?" ”

Helan Feng's face was expressionless, so that Fu Yashi couldn't see what he was thinking, and said with a light smile: "I understand this truth, make friends from afar and attack closely, go to the strong and stay weak." ”

"However, what does the Prime Minister think of Shang Guoqiang or Liang Guoqiang?" Fu Yashi asked.

Helan Feng smiled and didn't answer, but said: "The Shang Kingdom wants to offer two cities and the King of Qi, but the Liang Kingdom has no gifts, what if you do?" ”

Fu Yashi disagreed, and said loudly: "Those who are greedy for small profits will lose a lot, and the prime minister can know that if the Shang Kingdom gives away two now, it will take ten in the future." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Helan Feng asked.

Fu Yashi smiled and said, "Once Shang Liang fights, will Qi participate in the war?" If so, with whom do you ally with it? ”

Helan Feng frowned tightly and made no sound.

Fu Yashi didn't mind, and analyzed for him: "If Qi does not form an alliance with one of them, Shang Liang will each set aside troops to guard against the border of Qi, so that neither country will dare to fight with large troops, and there will not be too much war attrition. ”

Helan Feng listened to what he said very reasonably, and couldn't help but nodded.

Fu Yashi took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and continued: "If the Qi State and the Shang State are aligned, then the Liang State will definitely perish, but the Liang State will definitely break the kettle and fight to the death. Looking at the current situation, if the Qi State attacks the Liang State, it must first pass through the Louguan in the high mountains and steep mountains, and the prime minister will not forget the battle of Qi Liang many years ago, the Liang army leaned on the danger of the Louguan to hinder the Qi army here, and the battle of the Louguan lost more than 20 generals of the Qi State. ”

"This is not the time, and you can't discuss everything at once." When it came to the battle of Louguan, the Qi State was defeated, and Helan Feng couldn't hold his face.

"I'm talking too much." Fu Yashi leaned in and apologized, and said: "Even if you pass the Lou Pass, the Lord of Kaizhou City knows that it is the strongest city in Liang Kingdom. After Kaizhou, the vast Longjiang River blocked the way, the Qi infantry army was brave, and the water army was far from the Liang State, I took the liberty to assert that on the Longjiang River, most of the Qi army and horses would be broken here. ”

The more Fu Yashi spoke, the more detailed he became, and the words hit Helan Feng's heart, and he had to secretly admire that this person was by no means an ordinary person.

"On the contrary, the Shang State attacked the Liang State from Jiangzhou, and the road was smooth, and the resistance was much smaller than that of the Qi State. Even if the Liang State is destroyed, the strength of the Shang State will be far above the Qi State. May I ask the Prime Minister, at that time, the Shang State wanted to claim back a few cities, would the Qi State dare to refuse? Fu Yashi's words were like sharp arrows, hitting his heart, and Helan Feng's brows tightened, pondering it.

"It is rumored that Shang Guo made a new strong bow and took people's lives three hundred meters away. The two armies are facing each other, the military horses have not arrived, and the sharp arrows have arrived, how to fight each other? Fu Yashi seized Helan Feng's indecision and said: "Only when Qi Liang forms an alliance and attacks Shang on both sides can he be able to defeat the Shang Kingdom." If one side is defeated, the whole army of the Shang State will be overwhelmed and invincible. ”

Helan Feng had also heard that Shang Guo had a sharp weapon, the Great Bow, but he didn't know its power. Now that he has said it in his mouth, he has believed it for eight points.

"What you say is known in my heart, and I know the distance and the near, tomorrow I will discuss with General Sima, and you will wait for the summons of the King of Qi." Helan Feng had to admire Fu Yashi's lobbying words, the words were concise and sharp, and he was already inclined to form an alliance with Liang Guo in his heart.

Fu Yashi nodded and got up, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Prime Minister, the people of Liang Kingdom will not forget the grace of your lordship." ”

Helan Feng returned the gift and sent off Fu Yashi, and after seeing Fu Yashi away, he sat back in his chair alone and pondered quietly.

On the second day, after the early dynasty dispersed, the king of Qi summoned Sima Jian, a veteran of Qi, into the study with Helan Feng.

"Old General Sima, please take a seat." Sima Jian was over sixty years old, with a strong physique, and his body was covered with scars, recording his life as a horseman. The beard is long and dense, so it is known as a beautiful general. When Qi Heng was young, Sima Jian taught him to ride a horse and shoot arrows, although he was a monarch and a minister, he was also a master and apprentice.

Sima Jian sat down first, and Helan Feng also sat aside, and said, "King Qi, yesterday the two envoys of Shang Liang went to my mansion, and they all asked me to persuade you to form an alliance with him. ”

Qi Heng nodded and asked, "What does the prime minister think we should do?" ”

Helan Feng said something to Fu Yashi to them, Sima Jian paused again and again after hearing it, and said: "Prime Minister, what this Liang envoy said makes sense, the military strength of the Shang State is getting stronger, there is anger and humility in the north of our country, and there is a Shang State in the west, if there is no Liang State, then the Shang State can attack our country on both sides of the south and west, and then with the power of the Qi State, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist." ”

"Yes, so my opinion is that Lianliang is a businessman. It can be said that it is in alliance with Shang, so that Shang will transfer its forces to the west and attack Liang with all its might, and when the other two countries are at war, we will send troops to attack Shang. He Lanfeng expressed his opinion and turned his head to look at King Qi.

"But Shang Guo promised to send us two cities......" Before Qi Heng finished speaking, Helan Feng grabbed the words and said: "King Qi, two cities are nothing, since the Shangliang War, we can easily take two cities." ”

"King Qi, the prime minister's words are good, although I am old, I can still fight. I am willing to lead the troops to the battle, attack the city and expand my territory. Sima Jian stood up and said with his fists clenched.

Qi Heng, the king of Qi, also got up and said to the two of them: "This king is young, and state affairs need to rely on the two of them, since you both agree to Lian Liang attacking Shang, then it is decided in this way, but the envoy of Shang is ......."

Helan Feng said: "King Qi, tomorrow morning, you can declare the Shang envoy to enter the palace, say that it is good with Shang, and after the Shang State starts the war, our army will advance westward, and at that time the elite soldiers and horses of the Shang State are all in Liangguan, and they will be able to attack Yubo in one fell swoop." ”

"Well, stabilize the Shang Kingdom first." King Qi nodded and said.

Helan Feng continued: "Then summon the Liang envoy privately, and then the minister personally sent the envoy to the Liang State to set up a joint attack on the business. ”

King Qi nodded again and again, and said: "Wen has the prime minister, Wu has Sima, and my Qi country should dominate the world." ”

"My lord is holy and will reign over the world." The two of them bowed down and said, and the three of them looked at each other and laughed.

Fu Yashi came to the palace on the second day, did not wait for the King of Qi to summon him, and saw that Jiang Huaidu was also waiting outside the palace, and his heart was slightly calm, it seemed that the monarchs and ministers of Qi were still discussing.

When he came back to the palace the next day, the eunuch summoned Jiang Huaidu in. Seeing Jiang Huaidu confidently walking into the palace, Fu Yashi was a little nervous, and his face was gloomy. secretly determined that he could not complete his mission, so he crashed to death on the main hall and repaid the country with death.

Not long after Jiang Huaidu entered, another eunuch came out of the palace, came to the waiting place to see Fu Yashi, and Shi Li asked, "But the envoy of the Liang State?" ”

Fu Yashi got up and saluted back and replied, "Exactly." ”

"Come with me into the palace." The eunuch turned to leave, Fu Yashi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed.

Jiang Huaidu came to the palace, saw the Manchu Dynasty civil and military lines on both sides, took a few steps forward and bowed down and said: "Jiang Huaidu, the envoy of the Shang Kingdom, has seen the King of Qi. ”

"Flat." King Qi said above and looked at Helan Peak.

Helan Feng took a step forward and said to Jiang Huaidu: "My lord has decided to make peace with the Shang State, divide his troops, attack the Liang State, and divide the territory of the Liang State equally at that time. ”

Jiang Huaidu was overjoyed in his heart, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "King Qi Yingming, now that he has been married, I don't know when to send an envoy to Shangguo?" ”

Helan Feng said with a smile: "There is no need to send an envoy, when our army attacks the Liang country, your country can dedicate those two cities to my lord." ”

Jiang Huaidu hesitated for a moment and said in embarrassment: "This ...... If the Qi State does not send an envoy to go, I am afraid that it will not be able to discuss the matter of attacking the Liang. ”

Helan Feng smiled lightly and said: "My lord's intention is that the Shang State and the Liang State are at war, and our army will not move in secret, and when the Liang State General Ma is transferred to Jiangzhou, he will send troops to Louguan, so within a month, our army will not attack the Liang State." ”

Jiang Huaidu scolded secretly in his heart, it turned out that he was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger and wanted to choose a bargain. But when people said this, they couldn't force it, so they had to laugh and say: "Since this is the case, I will return to the king of Shang and hope that the king of Qi will send troops as soon as possible." ”

"Well, after I went back, I thanked the king of Shang for the gift." King Qi waved his hand downward, Helan Feng nodded, and said to Jiang Huaidu: "The matter is critical, please also ask the envoy to go back as soon as possible to tell King Shang." ”

"Yes, the prime minister can rest assured, he will not dare to make a mistake." Jiang Huaidu withdrew from the hall and let out a sigh of relief. Although the Qi State did not send troops at the same time as expected, at least it still formed an alliance with the Shang State, although it was not perfect, and the mission was completed.

After the king of Qi retreated, he summoned Fu Yashi in the study, and Helan Feng and Sima Jian were by his side.

Helan Feng said: "My lord has decided to form an alliance with the Liang State to jointly attack the business, and the details will be discussed after I go to the Liang State." ”

Fu Yashi was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "King Qi is wise, dare to ask the prime minister, when will he send an envoy to Liang State?" ”

Helan Feng looked at King Qi, bowed down and said, "King Qi, without further ado, I will send an envoy to Liang State the day after tomorrow, okay?" ”

King Qi nodded, and instructed: "The prime minister sent an envoy to the Liang State, everything can be decided by himself, and the matter of sending troops will be decided after you return." ”

"King Xie Qi." Helan Feng thanked him and continued: "General Sima, after I go, you will gather your troops and horses and prepare for battle, and when I return, Shang Liang has already started a war. ”

Sima Jian nodded and responded: "The prime minister just have to rest assured to go, I have my own arrangements." ”

Helan Feng looked back at Fu Yashi and said, "You go back first, I will send an envoy to Liang State in two days." ”

"Yes, I'll set up ...... along the road"

"No, I will lead my followers lightly, and let no one know." Helan Feng instructed.

Although Fu Yashi was puzzled, he still nodded yes, said goodbye, hurriedly returned to the inn, summoned his entourage, and went out of Suzhou to the back hall.

Jiangzhou garrison Fuzhong, Yuanhang went to visit Liqiu as usual, and just sat down, Tang Ling shouted outside the door.

"Young master, someone in the former mansion asked to see him, and he claimed to be Fu Yashi." Tang Ling stood outside the door and announced.

"He's back." Yuanhang was very happy after hearing this, and after more than two months of separation, he finally looked forward to him.

When I came to the front hall, I saw Fu Yashi sitting on a chair and strode over. Fu Yashi got up, saluted the voyage, and said with a smile: "My lord, Yashi has fulfilled his mission and sent an envoy to return from the Qi Kingdom, so I am here to vote for you." ”

"Haha, okay, I haven't seen you in two months, how is Yashi?" Yuanhang hurriedly helped him up and said with a laugh.

"Thank you for your concern, everything is fine."

"Sit down, sit down." Yuanhang stretched out his hand to invite him to sit down and called for tea.

After the two of them sat down, Yuanhang asked, "What's the situation on that side?" ”

"Back to my lord, Shang has also sent an envoy to Qi State, and I am meeting him. The state of Qi had sent an envoy to meet with the Holy Lord, pretending to promise an alliance with the Shang state, and after the Shang state moved its forces westward, the state of Qi would attack the Shang state. Fu Yashi replied.

"How long have you been back?" After hearing this, Yuanhang pondered, came over for a while, frowned, and counted the days.

"It should be a month ago, I traveled for more than 20 days from Qi to rush back to the back hall, waited for three days for the envoy of Qi to arrive, and then traveled seven days to Jiangzhou." Fu Yashi also counted the time to answer.

"In this way, after the envoy of the Shang State returns, he will tell him that if he transfers troops again, the time will not be too long." Yuanhang looked at Fu Yashi.

Fu Yashi nodded and replied: "What the adults said is not bad, if there is no mistake, it should be about ten days, and the Shang Kingdom will take action." ”

"Can reinforcements be sent from the back hall?" Yuanhang asked eagerly.

Fu Yashi shook his head and said: "When I came, the Holy Lord did not explain this, but General Situ did talk about it, but the Holy Lord was worried about the capriciousness of the Qi State, so the Kaizhou side increased its troops. ”

Yuanhang thought about it, and the saint was right, it seems that only when the war breaks out on this side, will reinforcements arrive. It doesn't matter, with 60,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, it shouldn't be a problem to hold Guzhou.

"Yashi, you will be my military advisor from today onwards, and I hope to give more advice in the future." Yuanhang laughed, half-jokingly.

Fu Yashi got up and saluted, and said, "Everything is under the orders of the adults." ”

"Haha......" the two laughed together.
