At this time, Zhang Xuan looked at Fang Xuanling again, only to see him looking at himself with a smile, Zhang Xuan suddenly woke up, since Fang Xuanling came to report this matter to him, he must have made up his mind in his heart, and he was still thinking about it here.

Zhang Xuan sat down and asked with a smile: "Don't sell the guanzi, let's talk about it!" ”

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about why Li Yuan was so eager to send Wen Daya to collect Luo Yi?" ”

Zhang Xuan groaned slightly, and said, "Could it be that they have colluded before?" ”

"That's just one of them."

Fang Xuanling smiled slightly, "Since Luo Yi can accept the co-optation of the Bohai Society, of course he will also accept the co-optation of the Wuchuan Mansion, Li Yuan may not have colluded with Luo Yi, but Luo Yi must have a close relationship with the Guanlong nobles, but now the real reason why Li Yuan is eager to woo Luo Yi is not actually to deal with us?" Can Da Shuai think of what Li Yuan is most worried about now? ”

Without waiting for Zhang Xuan to speak, Li Jing blurted out, "Liu Wuzhou! ”

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized that Li Yuan wanted Luo Yi to copy Liu Wuzhou's lair in order to relieve Liu Wuzhou's pressure on Taiyuan, Luo Yi could completely kill Mayi County through the Flying Fox, and with a thought of dredging, Zhang Xuan's thinking suddenly became active, in fact, it can also be killed from the Hetao area to Mayi County, but it will be interfered by the Turkic army, and secondly, the Liang division will not let Li Yuan's army go north to borrow the road, so it is indeed a shortcut to go to Mayi County by flying fox.

Liu Wuzhou was also worried about this, so he recruited Wang Basu and asked Wang Basu to block the westward advance of the Youzhou army for him, which was really interesting.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "What does the military advisor mean? ”

"I feel that with Li Jing, Luo Yi may not go to Mayi County, but as long as he surrenders Li Yuan, the situation in Youzhou will be turbulent, and the marshal can appease Luo Yi first. Then return to Beihai County and wait patiently for the situation in Youzhou to change. ”

Zhang Xuan took a few steps and asked, "What should I do if Luo Yi refuses to surrender Li Yuan?" ”

Fang Xuanling smiled faintly, "The big marshal can force him and make him have to consider finding backup." ”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slowly, "I understand." Forced but not fighting, the best policy! ”

At the same time that Li Yuan's envoy entered Zhuo County, Zhang Xuan ordered the Qingzhou Army to use the pretext of clearing out the remaining bandits in Shanggu County to enter Shanggu County, although Shanggu County did not belong to the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, but it was the west gate of Youzhou and the sphere of influence of the Youzhou Army.

The news quickly spread to Jixian County. Luo Yi hated a lot in his heart, but he couldn't speak, Shanggu County was indeed not under his jurisdiction, but it was his sphere of influence, and Zhang Xuan obviously didn't give him face.

In the inner hall, Luo Yi said to Sima Wen Yanbo of Youzhou with an angry face: "I knew that he actually had bad intentions when he asked me to join forces to attack Song Jingang, this person is extremely ambitious, and it is just a matter of occupying Liaodong." Still want to plot against my Youzhou, it's unreasonable! ”

Wen Yanbo smiled slightly: "The governor doesn't have to be nervous. Zhang Xuan is just making a gesture, he really has no intention of attacking Youzhou now. ”

"Why do you say that?"

Luo Yi looked at Wen Yanbo puzzled, Wen Yanbo said unhurriedly: "For a very simple example, rice needs to be eaten one bite at a time, if you eat too fast and too much, you will choke and hold on, not only will people not gain weight." On the contrary, he will get seriously ill, and Zhang Xuan's attack on Hebei is the same, in just three months, he killed Lu Mingyue and Gao Shida. Destroyed Dou Jiande, destroyed the Bohai Society, drove away Song Jingang and Wang Basu, and unified most of Hebei, what does he need to do now, it should be to stop and slowly digest these territories, if he doesn't stop, continue to attack Youzhou, if he captures it, it's just that, if he can't attack it, the counties of Hebei will inevitably change, even if Zhang Xuan doesn't understand this truth, will Fang Xuanling not remind him? That's why I said that Zhang Xuan's attack on Shanggu County was just a momentum, and he would definitely not attack Youzhou again. ”

Luo Yi said for a while: "But even if he doesn't attack Youzhou, I don't want him to enter Shanggu County, which is equivalent to using a dagger against my abdomen, and he must retreat from Shanggu County." ”

Wen Yanbo had no way to let Zhang Xuan withdraw from Shanggu County, pondering for a moment, he sighed and said: "Zhang Xuan obviously wants to seek Youzhou and complete the great cause of unifying Hebei, although it is not now, but it will be a few months later, Shanggu County is his springboard for attacking Youzhou, although he is just making a situation to attack Youzhou, but if he wants him to withdraw his troops from Shanggu County, it is not very likely, if the governor is really unwilling, he might as well send someone to talk to him, maybe he will give the governor a little face, and withdraw from Shanggu County first." ”

Luo Yi thought about it, and sighed helplessly, "Then give it a try!" ”

Wen Yanbo's home is located in the south of Jixian County, is a small house covering an area of three acres, only his wife and children and a few maids and servants at home, Wen Yanbo does not have high requirements for material conditions, life is very frugal, in the evening, Wen Yanbo returned to his home, just arrived at the door, his wife Pei Shi greeted him, whispered a few words, Wen Yanbo was stunned, then walked into the house quickly, and walked directly to his study.

walked to the door of the study, but saw the eldest brother sitting at the table flipping through a book, Wen Yanbo was really strange, the eldest brother Daya was Li Yuan's secretary to join the army, how could he come to Jixian? Could it be

Wen Yanbo had a little realization in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Why is my brother here?" ”

Wen Daya is Wen Yanbo's eldest brother, about thirty years old, slightly strong, and half a head shorter than his brother, but he, like Wen Yanbo, is a well-known talent in Bingzhou, Li Yuan specially came to ask Wen Daya to assist him, and appointed him to join the army for his own office, and the treatment was very generous.

Wen Daya stood up and said with a smile: "It came suddenly, I didn't write a letter to tell it in advance, I hope Brother Xian will forgive me!" ”

"Brother didn't come to me!" Wen Yanbo stared at Wen Daya with sharp eyes.

Wen Daya smiled, "Let's sit down and talk." ”

The two brothers sat down, Pei Shi entered the house and re-served tea for them, Wen Daya thanked his brother and daughter-in-law, and said to Wen Yanbo: "Actually, you know very well the reason why I came to Youzhou, Luo Dudu accepted the funding of the Dugu family, otherwise he would not be able to have today, Li Gong entered Chang'an, was named the Tang King, Prime Minister, and General, and took over the military and political power, and the Dugu family also became a vassal of Li Gong, so ......"

"So Dugu Shun also hopes that Governor Luo will return to Duke Li, right?"

Wen Daya felt that his brother's tone was a little displeased, he felt that there were some things that he had to say clearly to his brother, so he muttered and said, "The reason why Gong Li sent me to Youzhou, and I came to see you first, is because you are my brother, and I hope to get your help." ”

Wen Yanbo was about to speak, but Wen Daya waved his hand to interrupt him, "You listen to me first, and I will give you a chance to speak." ”

Wen Yanbo smiled bitterly, "Brother, please continue!" ”

"I don't think Luo Yi's surrender to Li Gong is a big rebellion, after all, the acting king has become the Son of Heaven, Li Gong is just the prime minister, take a step back and say, even if Li Gong becomes the Son of Heaven and establishes a new dynasty, I think it is also the destiny of heaven, I hope that the third brother can see his future clearly, Li Gong often says that you are the prime minister's talent, but now you bend down to be a small official, don't you hesitate!"

Wen Yanbo actually doesn't like Luo Yi's cunning and selfishness, he has also been thinking about his future, in fact, he has been choosing, whether to choose Zhang Xuan or Li Yuan?

After a long silence, Wen Yanbo asked, "Have you talked to your father about this matter?" ”

The father of the two of them is Wen Junyou, a former Confucian of Northern Qi, who is still recuperating in his hometown of Qi County, Wen Daya shook his head, "I don't want my father to worry about this kind of thing." ”

Wen Yanbo took out a letter from the bookcase and handed it to his brother, "This is the letter my father wrote to me last month, brother, take a look!" ”

Wen Daya was stunned, took the letter and read it, in the letter, his father actually praised Zhang Xuan for his compassion for the common people, and made every effort to help the hungry people in the Central Plains, so that millions of people would not die of hunger.

Wen Daya was secretly surprised in his heart, although his father did not explicitly ask the third brother to defect to Zhang Xuan, but the meaning was already very clear, and he supported his younger son to serve Zhang Xuan.

Wen Daya was silent for a moment and asked, "How did the third brother decide?" ”

"I'm still thinking about it."

Wen Daya smiled bitterly, since his father had already expressed his position, he couldn't go against his father anymore, he thought about it and said: "Then I won't persuade you, you think about it yourself, I'll go to Luo Yi myself later." ”

"Brother, don't you want me to introduce you?"

"No need, business is business, and letting the third brother introduce you will affect your position."

Wen Yanbo really didn't want to get involved in this matter, especially since his brother was the envoy, if he participated, with Luo Yi's suspicious character, he would definitely think that he had taken some benefits? Or think that he betrayed him, Wen Yanbo doesn't want to do much.

But Wen Daya is his brother after all, even if he doesn't help to speak, Wen Yanbo feels that he should give him some guidance and let his brother take a little less detours.

Thinking of this, Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "If my brother goes to see Luo Dudu now, I think it may be a little more likely to succeed." ”

"Why?"

"Because Zhang Xuan Chen Bing is in Shanggu County, the governor is under a lot of pressure, although he didn't say it explicitly, but I can see that he is very scared, especially since the Turks looked for him last year, if it drags on tonight, he is worried that he will decide to join the Turks, I believe that none of us want to see this happen."

Wen Daya was also worried in her heart, and got up and said, "Okay! I'm going to see Luo Yi now. (To be continued.) )
