Ran Tuhu stretched out his hand to beckon Brother Yu Chi to come over for a drink, but when he looked up and saw that Yu Chiyong had brought someone here, he knew that this must be a lobbyist. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but he had already decided to belong to the Ping Han Kingdom at this time, so the expression on his face was a little unhappy.

Wei Chiyong turned his head to show Wei bluntly, and said in his heart: "Lord Wei, I will count on you next." ”

Wei Zhiyan stepped forward, saluted Ran Tuhu first, and then did not be verbose, and said straight to the point: "General, I am Wei Zhiyan, I am Wei Zhiyan, I am here not for side affairs, but for the general's life and death!" "Not to mention, this way of fooling people is really good.

When Ran Tu heard this, he couldn't help but sit upright, and his face was a little dignified.

Wei Zhiyan continued: "The general must have decided to return to the Shunping Han Kingdom now, but is it? ”

Ran Tu said: "Yes." His Majesty of the Ping Han Kingdom promised to crown me as the king of martial mourning, and the four cities of the sixteen states of Yanyun as my fiefdom, hereditary replacement, and the rest of the country. ”

"Does the general know about the recent Pinghan lord and the three kings?" Wei asked bluntly.

"I've heard of it."

"Can the general know, why didn't the lord of the Ping Han Kingdom reward the meritorious heroes at the beginning, but he wanted to reward the three kings at this time?" Wei asked bluntly.

Ran Tuhu couldn't answer. He really didn't know why.

Ran Tuhu did not have a spy in the Han Kingdom, so he naturally did not know the situation behind this matter. He could know the news that the Ping Han Kingdom had been crowned three kings in a row, or Cao Suixiao pretended to be careless and deliberately leaked his mouth.

Wei bluntly said a few words, and found that this General Ran didn't know anything about the specific situation, and he suddenly felt a little more sure in his heart to persuade him. "It turns out that you kid doesn't know anything for a long time, he's just a martial artist. That's easy! ”

Wei Zhiyan continued: "General, this lord of the Ping Han Dynasty was originally born in a mixed society, and he did things according to his personal likes and dislikes, and he did not follow morality at all. After the establishment of the Ping Han Kingdom, the emperor only cared about his own relatives and close courtiers who were in the same township as him, and he was always reluctant to reward those generals who had made great achievements. However, the emperor of the Ping Han Kingdom declared to the outside world that the generals fought fiercely, resulting in him not being able to award the reward. It must be known that the founding heroes of the Ping Han State were in the forefront, and they were all close to the emperor. The rest of the generals, no matter how great the credit, can only be left behind. Is this difficult to reward? It's just that he doesn't want to seal it, and he is reluctant to reward it. ”

"If that's the case?" Hearing Wei say this, Ran Tuhu immediately sat up, knelt down and asked in surprise.

Wei said bluntly: "This matter is known to women and children in the Pinghan Kingdom, and the general sent his henchmen to the Pinghan Kingdom to find out when he asked." Wei never said half a lie. This time, the lord of Pinghan sent a messenger to deceive the general into submission, falsely claiming that he promised to make the general "the king of martial mourning". But somehow, the matter suddenly leaked. As soon as the generals of the Ping Han State had not yet been rewarded, they took advantage of this incident to make trouble, accusing the Ping Han State Lord of uneven rewards, which forced the Ping Han State Lord to finally reward the generals, and in order to stabilize the situation, he gritted his teeth and made the generals princes. ”

After hearing these words, Ran Tuhu stood up directly, paced back and forth in the room, and said angrily: "I was supposed to be a hero and hero of the Ping Han Kingdom, but I didn't expect that in the end, I was just a gangster on the street, and I acted so unreasonably. As soon as he conquers the country, he will abandon the generals and seal his relatives who have no merit. It's really a faint king! This Liu Lai acted like this, and in the future, his relatives in the Han Kingdom will inevitably run rampant and dictatorship, trample on the government and government, and the country will have no peace! ”

"The general is wise! This Pinghan lord has no faith, when he was trapped in Xuhuai Province, he promised many times that the generals under his command would be rich and noble. But now that he is on the throne, he refuses to fulfill his promises, and even reprimands the generals for being rude. General, this lord of the Ping Han State acts like this, if you surrender to the Ping Han Kingdom, although you are safe at the beginning, you will be in great trouble for his henchmen. The lord of the Ping Han Kingdom will definitely take the opportunity to fly out of the general's throne after a long time to relieve the great trouble in his heart. Wei bluntly told the truth and told the truth.

After hearing this, Ran Tuhu hesitated in his heart, no longer as firm as before.

After a long time, Ran Tu Hu said: "However, your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Kingdom, although you promised me to be the king, you have no fief. This ......"

Wei said bluntly: "It doesn't hurt if the general refuses to vote for me to level the Tang Kingdom. If you want to vote for the Ping Han Kingdom, it will be dangerous, although you are safe at the beginning, you will be harmed by the Lord of the Ping Han Kingdom later. Our lord once said that if the general is willing to remain neutral, I am willing to support the general every year with 200,000 silver coins and 100,000 stones of grain. His Majesty is from the Li family, a wealthy family in the Jin Dynasty, and he has always acted in a good way, and he is by no means like the lord of the Ping Han Dynasty. "This is pure nonsense, if your emperor has a way, why would he kill his brother, force his father, or even accept his brother's wife?

When Ran Tuhu heard this, he suddenly realized that he was going to talk to me about business.

Ran Tu said: "Let's think about it again." ”

Next to him, Wei Chiyong was already dumbfounded, and said in his heart: "No wonder Your Majesty reuses this Wei Zhiyan." Sure enough, it is Your Majesty, this Lord Wei really has two brushes. In a few words, but in a moment, the cooked duck will fly! Terrible! ”

Wei bluntly said to Wei Chi Yong: "It's done!" Retire with a job! Walk! Wei Chiyong understood, quietly took Wei Zhiyan out of the tent, and returned to his camp.

After Wei Zhiyan and Wei Chiyong left, Ran Tuhu stretched out his hand and wiped it, and a thin white sweat appeared on his back. What Wei bluntly said was by no means made up, and the sudden sealing of the three kings of the Ping Han Kingdom was indeed extremely abnormal.

Moreover, in the 600 years of the Qianping Zhou Dynasty, all those who had a different surname and were crowned kings did not end well. Although Ran Tuhu doesn't read history books, he knows more or less about these things.

The next day, Ran Tuhu sent Cao Suixiao, the envoy of the Ping Han Kingdom, out of the camp, turned around, and began to bargain with Wei Zhiyan.

Cao Suixiao saw that the cooked duck actually jumped up and flew, so she could only smile helplessly and return to Dongluo City to report to His Majesty.

After the news was transmitted back to Dongluocheng, Liu Lai thought that the Tang Kingdom had offered higher conditions, and finally successfully won over Ran Tuhu. On the one hand, he ordered people to secretly inquire about the news in the Pingtang Kingdom. On the one hand, he ordered the Han generals and other three generals to prepare, as long as the soldiers and horses of the Pingtang State stepped into the sixteen states of Yanyun half a step, they would immediately lead the army into the sixteen states of Yanyun and seize the city first.

However, he waited left and right, and did not wait for the news that the soldiers and horses of the Pingtang State had marched into the sixteen states of Yanyun.

After Wei bluntly stabilized Ran Tuhu, he immediately set off to rush back to Luodu and report to Emperor Li Shiluan. He came secretly this time, and his original intention was to move Ran Tuhu to join the Ping Tang Kingdom. But when he arrived, Ran Tuhu had already decided to take refuge in the Ping Han Kingdom. Wei bluntly said that he had no choice but to change his rhetoric temporarily, muddy the water first, stabilize Ran Tuhu again, and then slowly figure it out in the future.

Wei Zhiyan was now in a hurry to return to the Pingtang Kingdom and persuade Emperor Li Shiluan to agree to the conditions he had promised to Ran Tuhu. It turned out that the conditions he promised this time were all his own ideas, and Emperor Li Shiluan did not know. But Wei Zhiyan was very confident and was able to persuade the emperor to agree.

Because of those conditions, compared with the title of a real power with elite soldiers and horses, with the emperor's sage, he will inevitably choose the former.

Sure enough, after Wei Zhiyan played alone, Li Shiluan smiled and praised Wei Zhiyan for his proper handling of the emergency response and his deep understanding of the holy will.

To tell the truth, although Li Shiluan wants to recruit Ran Tuhu and Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, he definitely doesn't want a king with a different surname. Once this precedent is set, I am afraid that other generals with great military achievements will be indignant and want to be crowned king. In this way, there will inevitably be no peace in the country.

This time, although the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were not obtained, the Pinghan Kingdom also failed to obtain them. And he only pays a small amount of money and food every year, and Li Shiluan is happy to see it happen.

In a few years, after the country has settled down, it will not be difficult to send troops to annex the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop when the treasury is full. The top priority at the moment is to first recuperate the people and resume production.

Although the terrain of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures is dangerous, they are not in a hurry to get their hands on it at the moment. On the one hand, the Dingbei garrison has completely defeated the Tuliao State, and now the Tuliao is in turmoil, and it has not been ten or eight years, and it is not necessary to restore the combat power of the heyday. The Tuliao State was unable to invade the Pingtang State from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

According to the news from the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, in less than two years, the Dingbei Garrison Regiment will go deep into the grassland, kill all the way to Tongwan City, and completely destroy the Tuliao State. At that time, there will be no threat from the Liao State, and although the terrain of the sixteen states of Yanyun is dangerous, it will no longer be a battleground.

Now, with a little bit of money, the situation can be stabilized, which is the best for Li Shiluan.

You must know that now that hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed outside, the amount of money and food consumed every month is more than this number. Not to mention that in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he, the emperor of the Tang Kingdom, has to find a reason to reward the soldiers in front from time to time.

After spending some money and grain to stabilize Ran Tuhu, Li Shiluan took advantage of the situation to withdraw half of his troops and horses, and sent envoys to tell Ping Hanguo about this. After Fang Xuanling, the envoy of the Pingtang Kingdom, arrived in Dongluo City, he first presented a gift, and then talked eloquently, saying that his majesty had always respected the lord of the Pinghan Dynasty, and he really did not want the two countries to fight each other, so in order to show his sincerity, he first withdrew 70,000 soldiers and horses from Beiji Province.

Liu Lai is an old fritter, and as soon as he heard Fang Xuanling's words, he understood what Ping Tang Guo meant. To be honest, he doesn't want to go to war now. He originally thought that after the founding of the country and the emperor, he would be able to live a life of enjoyment like a god king. How did he know that the days of the emperor were so tormenting.

Let's not talk about who to appoint as the crown prince, which is basically not in his charge, everyone thinks who it is. Although Liu Lai is the emperor, he is also a chapter engraved with a radish in this matter, so he just agrees.

If you don't agree, it's okay, in the last years of the Zhou Dynasty in the former Ping, the princes competed for the throne, and the lesson that led to the collapse of the dynasty is just around the corner, you can watch it. Not to mention that the deputy head of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, Li Killing Star, intervened sideways, and a letter with a mistake of two words was sent over, forcing him to appoint his eldest son Liu Ying as the crown prince.

Liu Lai, the emperor's troubles, are far more than these. Since he became the emperor, he began to prevent his generals from rebelling, and as a result, he has been prevented from coming and going, and now Liu Lai looks at everyone like a rebel leader. Wenchen can say that those generals who hold heavy troops and have great achievements in battle are all the focus of Liu Lai's prevention.

But this matter cannot be said explicitly, only secretly. If this was clearly said, the military general would not want to rebel, and he would have been forced to rebel.

A while ago, the generals gathered to make a reward, and Liu Lai couldn't sleep all night, and he lost his hair with insomnia all night. Fortunately, after using Zhang Zifang's strategy, after gritting his teeth and sealing out the three kings and a series of princes, the situation was finally stabilized temporarily.

Liu Lai is now worried about himself, so he really doesn't want to start a war with the Tang State at this juncture. Once the war starts, the generals who lead the army will have to be rewarded, and then there will be a group of more princes coming out, Liu Lai doesn't want the world he worked so hard to win will be divided again.

After Fang Xuanling, the envoy of the Ping Tang Kingdom, left, Liu Lai immediately ordered that Yingbu and Peng Yue and the two generals and the soldiers and horses under their command should be withdrawn together.

Seeing that the two families withdrew half of their soldiers and horses, Ran Tuhu was also relieved in his heart, and he was finally able to live a stable life for two days.

To tell the truth, these days, he is also afraid that the two countries will attack.
