In fact, Xiaoliu didn't do anything wrong, when a young man falls in love, he must involuntarily go to the dark, this is a very normal psychology, and no one can say that he is at fault. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoHe's just too unlucky, and it has a lot to do with luck.

This farce was quite big, and the entire Liu Mansion was alarmed, and the people who had already returned to the house came out of the house to watch the excitement. On the way back to the courtyard, Xiao Liu was so ashamed that he almost hid his head in the crotch of his pants, such a difficult action made the onlookers amazed and admired.

The next day, Liu Fan took Liu Qiaode and Chu Yi to meet the Turkic envoy Itamu, and the conditions of the Chu side were similar to the content of Shulu's talk, except that the two hundred miles north of Xingqing Mansion were replaced by Bayanhot. As expected, Itamu was furious, if it weren't for the fact that this was in the territory of the Chu Dynasty, I'm afraid that Itamu would have drawn his sword against him.

Liu Fan and the three of them were "invited" out of the post house by Itamu's "fiery", and walking on the road, Liu Qiaode snorted angrily, and asked a little anxiously: "Master Hou, it's not okay to talk about it like this, neither end of the country agrees, if it goes on like this, how can the errand entrusted to us by the emperor be done?" ”

Old man Liu has been an official all his life, and after all, there are a few cases of being kicked out of the house, so old man Liu is very angry now.

Chu Yi snorted coldly beside him: "As long as Xuanyu nods, Chu is willing to lead the troops to rush in, hum!" The knife is on their necks, see which of them dares not to agree! ”

Liu Fan said with a smile: "Hey, I can't help it, the terms signed by the compelled people are not counted, and when they return to the grassland, they will regret it, and signing it is equivalent to not signing it." ”

Liu Qiaode spread his hands helplessly: "Then what should I do?" If they don't agree, will we just keep consuming? ”

Liu Fan blinked his eyes and smiled mysteriously: "It should be the grassland people who are in a hurry now, right, what are we anxious about?" Two adults, let's put aside the negotiation for the time being, and have a good rest for a few days, Ben Hou dares to guarantee that within five days, these two groups of grassland envoys will definitely take the initiative to ask us to return to the negotiation table, believe it or not? Master Liu, Ben Hou will bet you a hundred taels of silver. ”

Liu Qiaode glanced at Liu Fan, and said angrily: "The old man doesn't have the money to bet with you, Master Liu, how do you know that the grassland people will take the initiative to ask us to negotiate within five days?" ”

Liu Fan said with a smile: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, Master Liu, you just wait and see." The one hundred taels of silver, you must prepare it first. After speaking, Liu Fan shook his head and left.

Liu Qiaode was anxious, and shouted at Liu Fan's back: "The old man didn't agree to bet with you!" ”

After speaking, Liu Qiaode hurriedly turned his head to Chu Yi and said, "General Chu, you have to testify for the old man, the old man did not agree to make a bet with the Marquis of Shouting......

In the imperial study of the Great Chu Palace.

"What? Do you want to order more troops to Xingqing Mansion? Xiang Jingwu looked at Liu Fan with a stunned expression, a little unclear.

Liu Fan said with a smile on his face: "Yes, Your Majesty, only if Weichen asks for your holy decree, the negotiation can be completed." ”

Xiang Jingwu stared at Liu Fan and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what the consequences of this holy decree will be? ”

Liu Fan said with a smile: "It won't be a bad thing after all, if there are consequences, it must be that you count the money until you have cramps in your hands, and you will wake up laughing when you dream......"

Xiang Jingwu said with a straight face: "You talk to me carefully, military affairs are not child's play, put away your hippie smile!" ”

Liu Fan immediately put away his smiling face, and said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, to be correct, Weichen wants to ask the emperor for two holy decrees, one is to increase the number of troops to Xingqing Mansion by 100,000, and consider sending out the northern army outside Luoyang City; Second, the garrison of Xingqing Mansion advanced a hundred miles north and camped, at least until the main peak of Helan Mountain was completely occupied. ”

Xiang Jingwu asked with interest, "Oh? What is the significance of this move? ”

Liu Fan talked eloquently: "It's very simple, we have already used soft methods during negotiations, since the grassland people don't eat this set, then now we have to use hard methods, maybe the barbarians are cheap, and they don't eat soft when they eat hard." ”

Xiang Jingwu said in a deep voice: "Do you know how the Khitan and Turkic reactions will be once the Great Chu garrison advances north?" ”

Liu Fan smiled confidently: "Your Majesty, Weichen dares to guarantee with his head, they will never dare to have any reaction." Unless the struggle for supremacy of the steppe people has stopped, they are not willing to add any more enemies at this time. ”

Xiang Jingwu snorted and said, "How can you be so sure? The nature of the grassland people is as fierce as fire, if my army does not declare its advance, it will definitely anger the grassland people, if they put down the struggle for hegemony for the time being, and work together to fight against the Great Chu, then how should I deal with myself? ”

Liu Fan said with a smile: "The emperor is too worried, maybe you are in the bureau, and Weichen is a civilian, so he can be said to be outside, so Weichen can estimate the thoughts of the grassland people more thoroughly." ”

Xiang Jingwu frowned and said, "You can tell me and listen to it, and I will see if it makes sense." ”

Liu Fan took a long breath and calmly analyzed: "Your Majesty, who are the henchmen of those two khans on the grassland?" It's them to each other, to put it mildly, our Chu Dynasty is not a big trouble in their eyes, at this time, the top priority in the hearts of these two khans is how to eradicate each other, and then they have to recuperate for a few more years, and only after recovering the vitality damaged by this struggle for hegemony will they consider how to clean up our Chu Dynasty. Therefore, Wei Chen can conclude that at least within three years, the grassland people will definitely not put the cart before the horse and use force against me. Because the real strong enemy is around them, is it necessary for them to offend a country that is not strong, but not too weak? The embarrassing situation of using troops at both ends was something that neither of the two khans wanted to see. Therefore, in the past few years, even if the actions of my Chu Dynasty are a little excessive, they will only pay attention vigilantly, but it is impossible to divide the troops to attack, and the emperor can rest assured. ”

Xiang Jingwu closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Liu Fan was anxious, and said: "Your Majesty, don't miss such a good opportunity, whether this deal can be done or not depends on whether you can make up your mind and pick this hammer." ”

Xiang Jingwu glared and said, "What a mess!" This is a militaristic event! How did it become a deal to come to you? Sling the bull! ”

Liu Fan said with a dry smile: "Weichen was born in a businessman, and he said that he was used to it, but in fact, the truth of this military event is the same as doing business, make a decision on the spot, and don't hesitate, otherwise others will eat meat, and we won't even be able to drink the soup." The most important thing is that if you don't make this holy decree, the grassland people are likely to give up the negotiation and return to China, and then the red of Wechen will be in vain......"

Xiang Jingwu was stunned, and then said angrily: "I still wonder how you can care so much about the grassland negotiations today, it turns out that you are thinking about your benefits!" It's a bastard! ”

Liu Fan knew that he was speechless, so he hurriedly laughed and said: "Take care of it, take care of it...... Haha, Your Majesty, Weichen is a great loyal minister, and the people of the country are ranked first in the hearts of Weichen, and they are also super first! Personal benefits, if you have it, if you don't......"

Xiang Jingwu stared at him and said coldly: "What if you don't have it?" Don't want it? ”

Liu Fan smiled embarrassedly: "How can it, it doesn't matter if you reduce a little or less, your Majesty, you can't bear to see Weichen busy for most of the day but have no gain, in the future, Qinghe and An Ning marry Weichen, but the family is asking for food on the street with a broken bowl, as the emperor's father-in-law, you are too faceless, isn't ......"

Xiang Jingwu glared at him fiercely and smiled: "You don't use Qinghe and Anning as shields, it should be yours, indispensable; It shouldn't be yours, and it's useless to force it. Hmph, I heard that those two grassland messengers are often angry with you, but there is nothing they can do about you, now it seems that your mouth is really tight, you mouth kung fu, or use it on the grassland people! ”

Liu Fan was puzzled: "Your Majesty, what ...... You see the matter of the Holy Decree, ......"

Xiang Jingwu stroked his beard and muttered for a moment, and said slowly: "This matter is not trivial, I can't make a decision alone, later I will invite some important ministers of the court to come to the imperial study to discuss carefully and then make a decision." ”

Liu Fan said: "Then Weichen is also coming?" ”

Xiang Jingwu glanced at him: "Xuanyu, are you a heavy minister?" ”

Liu Fan scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "After that, Weichen will eat more, and he will become a heavy minister in less than a month, hehe......"
