Among the scholars present, in addition to Huangfu Zhen, Yang Yu and other children of wealthy families in Liaodong, only Xie Ai was most valued by Wei Shuo, and when he thought of a large number of young talents being included in Liaodong, he couldn't help but show a little high-spirited between his eyebrows.

Now he has under his command not only Pei Wei, Gao Zhan, Wen Qiao, and Mo Han, who are enough to be Zaifu, but also Xie Ai, who is both civil and military, and has a good understanding of military strategy, all of which are first-class top talents in the world.

It is with the assistance of talents from all walks of life that Liaodong is gradually on the right track, and its strength is thriving, as long as he is given another ten years, even if Shile occupies the entire Central Plains, what is there to fear? Recovering the homeland is just around the corner!

……

After four years of Jianxing, the world was surging, and after the king of Langya was unwilling to live in Jiangzuo, he took out more than half of the taxes in Jiangzuo and united the family to jointly plot to become a Han, but he failed to think about it.

The great cause of the Western Expedition made no achievements so that King Langya had no face, only because Jiangdong's finances were tight, and the families were unwilling to destroy their families to relieve their difficulties, so they had no choice but to send Liu Kui, Pei Dun, Diao Xie, Yu Liang and other four people to Liaodong for help, trying to regroup.

Standing on the bow of the boat and looking at the boats on the Yongding River, Yu Liang and Diao Xie couldn't help but admire the strong construction ability of the Liaodong people, not to mention anything else, just dredging and widening the river from the sea to Jicheng, which is enough to bring countless wealth to Liaodong.

As soon as Liu Kui, Pei Dun and others set foot on the land of Yan State, Wei Shuo received the news that Jiangzuo's envoy was heading north, and he quickly convened his staff to discuss. King Langya suddenly sent Liu Kui and others to the north, obviously he had a special mission, how should Liaodong take this opportunity to win the greatest benefits for himself?

"Let's talk about it, this time King Langya sent an envoy north, how should we deal with it?"

"My lord, in the opinion of the minister, there is a sea between Jiangzuo and Liaodong, and there has always been little communication. This time, the four envoys Liu, Pei, Yu, and Diao were suddenly sent north, I am afraid that there is another purpose. ”

"You all know that in recent years, the Liaodong army has won successive battles, and this year it will destroy the powerful Xiongnu Han State in one fell swoop, and the king of Langya must be vigilant about Liaodong in his heart, but he can't figure out the reality of Liaodong, so he sent people north with great fanfare, thinking that he wanted to explore the details of Liaodong."

Speaking of this, the corners of Mo Han's mouth showed a hint of mockery, and then said: "Besides, the minister thinks that Jiang Zuo is asking for help!" ”

"Asking for help?" Wei Shuo's mouth opened slightly, and he let out an exclamation.

"Hmm!"

Mo Han nodded with great certainty and said: "Lord, I heard that Jiangzuo's western expedition to Shu has suffered a fiasco, and at this critical moment, what can you do if you don't ask for help?" ”

Hearing this, Wei Shuo thought about it, and when Sima Ye sat on the throne because of Liaodong, King Langya lost the best opportunity to ascend the throne, and he lost his political restraint on Liaodong. As Liaodong became more and more powerful, the relationship between Jiangzuo and Liaodong had gradually changed from superior and subordinate to each other's feudal towns.

At this time, Lu Chang also stood up and joked: "Lord, haven't you always been worried that the matter of leasing Zhu Ya will be interfered with by King Langya?" Now that Jiang Zuo himself has sent it to the door, if he doesn't slaughter it fiercely, won't it damage the prestige of the lord? ”

Wei Shuo smiled bitterly and ordered: "Nonsense! Lord Liu is an old friend of Liaodong, and when he comes, he naturally has to treat one or two well, and there is also a father-in-law to accompany him, and the standard of greeting cannot be too low. I think let's let Wen Ji and Taizhen come forward! ”

……

Not to mention that Wei Shuo and the others were waiting for the arrival of the Jiangdong people, it was only said that Liu Kui and the four of them were full of worries, and they took a boat along the north of the Yongding River along the way, and they had no intention of enjoying the picturesque scenery on both sides of the strait.

"I didn't expect Weizhenbei to be so superb in governing the local area, but Youzhou has been so prosperous in the past few years!"

Liu Kui and the four of them found that since they entered the territory of Liaodong, they felt like they had entered another world, and there were people with happy smiles on their faces and straight and wide cement roads along the way.

"Liu and Pei, whether Jiangzuo can get Liaodong's support this time depends on the two of you!"

Hearing what Diao Xie said, Liu Kui and Pei Dun glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of embarrassment in each other's eyes. Liu Kui and Wei Shuo certainly had a friendship, but he was not confident enough to let Liaodong support Jiangzuo.

Wei Shuo is not Sima Rui, it can be seen from his past behavior that he is a master with his own ideas, and he tried his best to refrain from Liu Kui's invitation to Jiangzuo back then. Encountering such a strong and determined person, Jiangdong's trip is worrying!

Although Pei Dun is Wei Shuo's father-in-law, the relationship between the two has changed a lot compared to before, but he is still a little afraid to face Wei Shuo.

In this way, in the midst of the four people's hearts, Jiang Zuo's fleet finally arrived in Jicheng.

For the Jiangdong envoys, Liaodong attached great importance to them, and Wei Shuo specially sent Pei Wei and Wen Qiao to greet them on behalf of Liaodong.

"Lord Liu, don't come unharmed!"

Pei Wei saw that the first person was Liu Kui, and he hurriedly stepped forward to give a deep salute, when he went to Jianye to plan for Wei Shuo to take the position of Dongyi lieutenant, thanks to Liu Kui's help, he has always kept this kindness in mind.

Looking at Liu Kui's looming white hair, Pei Wei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The boss has worked hard! ”

In order to help King Langya stabilize Jiangzuo over the years, Liu Kui wanted to win over the Jiangzuo family for King Langya to fight against Wang Dun on the one hand, and reconciled the contradictions between King Langya and the family on the other hand, so he paid a lot of effort, and now the whole person looks tired.

"Thank you Wen Ji for your concern, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble Master Pei this time."

Liu Kui's expression was a little gloomy, but his mind was still very clear, he knew the purpose of this trip very well, and he also understood that if he wanted to achieve his wishes, he was afraid that he would have to ask Pei Wei for help.

"Hahaha, the boss is polite! At the beginning, it was thanks to the help of the boss that the trust of the lord was completed! Now that the boss has arrived in Liaodong, if there is anything difficult, just come to me! Pei must do his best! Let's go, I'll lead you to the main post house first, and I'll talk about it later! ”

Saying that, Pei Wei and Wen Qiao arranged the four Jiangzuo envoys to a special carriage, which was specially made by the Liaodong car-making workshop to welcome VIPs in Liaodong, and a total of five were built. The carriage is spacious and bright, and can seat four to six people.

After Liu Kui, Diao Xie, Pei Dun, and Yu Liang got into the carriage on the left, they looked up and down, left and right, and were curious about this kind of luxury carriage. And Yu Liang, who was born in a family, was even more eye-catching, and he couldn't wait to get one to go back to Jiangzuo.

"I have heard that there are Mo family miracles in Liaodong, and when I saw it today, I realized what it means to be famous!" Yu Liang sighed as he touched the smooth windowsill and couldn't help but be speechless.

Yu Liang is not a person who has never seen the world, but he is still shocked by the luxury of this luxury carriage.

"That's nature! The north of Weizhen relied on the magic skills of the Mo family to rise! Which one of glass, green salt, or cement is not from the Mohist miracle? Why is the armor of Liaodong extremely sharp? Isn't it because Liaodong has mastered a kind of steelmaking magic that leads all places. ”

Diao Xie is also envious of the endless Mojia strange skills in Liaodong, they used to always sneer at all kinds of kitsch and obscene skills, but now with the development and growth of Liaodong relying on strange skills, the Mo family has become active again and has been valued by princes from all walks of life.

Caring people soon found that among the four messengers, only Pei Dun was the most silent, not that Pei Dun didn't want to express any opinions, but that he knew that his identity was sensitive, so he decided to remain silent in order not to cause trouble. In fact, in his heart, he had already been shocked by the strength of Liaodong, and it was not until this moment that he really realized the weight of Wei Shuo.

Pei Dun, who was sitting in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, couldn't help but think of what his cousin Pei Wei had told him that the entire Pei family would rely on Wei Shuo to rise in the future. In the past, although he believed that his cousin would not be able to talk about it, he still had some doubts in his heart, and it was not until now that he let go of all his doubts and was determined to help Wei Shuo succeed wholeheartedly.

When the carriage carrying the four envoys into Jicheng, they were completely dumbfounded, and everywhere they saw were the towering city walls, rows of pavilions, straight and wide roads, endless crowds, and bustling streets......

Yu Liang's face was full of shock, he swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, and muttered to himself: "A few adults, this ...... Is this Jicheng? How do I feel like I'm in the imperial capital of Luoyang? ”

Diao Xie, Liu Kui, and Pei Dun were also surprised by the prosperity of Jicheng, they had heard of the prosperity of Jicheng many times before coming, and they had some ideas in their hearts, but when Jicheng really appeared in the eyes of everyone, they found that all the previous ideas could not be compared with the real Jicheng!
