The general trend of the world is becoming clearer, Yuan Junzhang is also one of the best strategists under Liu Wuzhou, and an analysis of the current situation is also the first to be true, which is quite reasonable. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing Xiao Buyi hesitating, Yuan Junzhang persuaded: "King Xiliang, I heard that King Xiliang and Li Yuan have a good relationship?" ”

Xiao Buyi thought for a while, "Actually, this king and him are not friends. But when I think of the palace ministers, I always hope that he can wake up. ”

Yuan Junzhang sneered in his heart, and only then did he want to say that Xiao Buyi was a woman's benevolence, but suddenly felt a chill in his heart, secretly thinking that this Xiao Buyi was not a woman's benevolence, but was cunning to the extreme. Because by now, he has told everything he is planning, and he only hopes to persuade Xiao Buyi to send troops to help. But so far, Xiao Buyi is only promised, and it is still incomprehensible.

He has been scolding Xiao Buyi for being confused, and he doesn't know why he can sit in the high position he is saying today and point his sword at the world, but only now do he understand that this person's ability to pretend to be stupid is really extraordinary.

But now he is ready to send an arrow, not to mention that this idea is that he has discussed it with Liu Wuzhou and others for a long time, and it has more profound meaning, and now, he must not give up halfway. As for talking about the plan to go south, on the one hand, it is to win Xiao Buyi's trust, and on the other hand, they believe that Xiao Buyi will not miss the opportunity to form an alliance.

"King Xiliang, if you don't make a decision early, as long as General Liu falls again, I'm just afraid that Li Yuan will soon contact Dou Jiande to make your enemy, and then the general trend will be gone, and it will be too late to regret it." General Xu, I don't know what you think? ”

His gift was not given in vain, Xu Shiji nodded and said, "King Xiliang, I also think that this method is beneficial to us and harmless. ”

Yuan Junzhang and Xu Shiji sang and harmonized, and finally strengthened Xiao Buyi's confidence. Xiao Buyi put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yuan, this king can send troops to help General Liu, but you need to agree to a few conditions." ”

Yuan Junzhang's spirits perked up, "King Xiliang, please speak." ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "The first condition is that the ironclad cavalry's food, grass and baggage are all provided by you and others. ”

"This is natural." Yuan Junzhang said without hesitation.

"The second condition is that the ironclad cavalry can only be commanded by this king."

Yuan Junzhang hesitated slightly, "What about this...... The King of Western Liang should also know that the situation on the battlefield changes in an instant......"

"That's why this king let his men command." Xiao Buyi said indifferently: "If you say that you are keen on the capture of fighters, this king's ironclad cavalry is not inferior to others. His tone was full of pride, and Yuan Junzhang smiled: "In this case, it is better for me to be respectful than to obey my fate, I don't know if King Xiliang has other conditions?" ”

"One of the most important conditions of this king is ......" Xiao Buyi paused for a moment and said directly: "This king's three thousand ironclad cavalry must follow General Wei Chi's army!" ”

Yuan Junzhang said after a while: "Do you have to follow Wei Chi Jingde?" ”

Xiao Buyi said without hesitation: "Yes, if General Liu does not agree, this king will never send troops!" ”

Yuan Junzhang smiled, "Actually, it's not a problem, I think Wei Chi Jingde and General Liu are brothers in life and death, and it's the same which one to follow." ”

"It's different." Xiao Buyi's tone was indifferent, and his meaning was very firm.

Yuan Junzhang gritted his teeth and said: "I have the courage to guarantee with my head, promise the three conditions of King Xiliang, and never break my word." ”

Xiao Buyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then the king will rest assured." ”

"I don't know when the King of Xiliang will send troops?" Yuan Junzhang said.

Xiao Buyi said: "After three days, I will also ask General Liu to answer at Jingcheng Pass!" As for the details, Mr. Yuan can discuss with General Xu. ”

Yuan Junzhang thanked him, got up and left, and after Xu Shiji sent Yuan Junzhang away, the first thing he said was, "King Xiliang, I think there is a problem here." ”

"What's the problem?" Xiao Buyi asked with a smile.

"The conditions proposed by Liu Wuzhou are too beneficial to us, and I am only afraid that there is a hidden intention in them. Among the Guanlong lords, according to their abilities, Li Yuan, Xue Ju, and Liu Wuzhou are the most cunning. Liu Wuzhou is a scheming person, how can he lead the troops to take the lead for the king of Western Liang and marry others? ”

"Shiji, what do you think?" Xiao Buyi asked.

"I think it's a little weird." Xu Shiji was puzzled: "It stands to reason...... Liu Wuzhou had the earliest contact with the Turkic soldiers, and I heard what the King of Western Liang said, at the beginning of the Yanmen incident, Liu Wuzhou secretly took refuge in the Turks, but now, Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe, and even Li Yuan have all paid homage to the Turks, in order to seek the secret support of the Turks. But Liu Wuzhou actually didn't have half of the contact with the movements of the Turks, which is unreasonable. ”

Xiao Buyi smiled, "I only know that after silence, there will be an outbreak, Liu Wuzhou has endured it for so long, of course he will not consider fighting for us." ”

"What the King of Xiliang said is very true, I'm only afraid that they will repair the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark!" Xu Shiji said: "They hope that we will send troops to support, if we can borrow the power of our iron cavalry to take Hedong and then go down to Guanzhong, he can replace Li Yuan and fight against us!" What do you say to give us the gate, tearing the earth and sealing the king, it's just a pretense. ”

Xiao Buyi laughed, "Shiji, what you think is exactly the same as mine, but why didn't you dissuade me?" ”

Xu Shiji smiled slyly, "Didn't the King of Xiliang also say that he would rather Guanzhong fall into the hands of Liu Wuzhou than Li Yuan sit big?" Liu Wuzhou's move, isn't it exactly what you want? ”

Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "Yes, Liu Wuzhou is using us, why aren't we using him?" Liu Wuzhou is cunning and cunning, in Guanlong, he is the third person after Li Yuan and Xue Ju, but Xue Ju can't resist the Tang Army, I send troops to help, the only hope is that Liu Wuzhou will not be defeated too quickly, and give us another year or two. Now for us, every inch of time is an inch of gold, who can run in front and solve the troubles around first, in order to achieve the final victory. As for going down to Guanzhong, relying only on Liu Wuzhou, I'm afraid I don't have this ability! ”

Xu Shiji was quite pleased, "Assisting Liu Wuzhou is a very important matter, and we must beware of Liu Wuzhou's cunning, according to the King of Xiliang, who is the best to send?" ”

"How is Shan Xiongxin now?" Xiao Buyi asked.

"Could it be that the king of Xiliang wants to send Xiongxin to go? Since Xiongxin followed Zhai Rang to the Eastern Capital, he has been closed and depressed. Xu Shiji said: "At the beginning, Wagang planted willows, and everyone wanted to make a career, but now, ...... Inevitably, he will be a little uncomfortable. ”

Xu Shiji sighed lightly, recalling that he was frivolous at the beginning, and it was like a different life.

Xiao Buyi muttered: "Wagang is a thing of the past, don't mention it." Historically, what is not in line with the trend will eventually be eliminated. I know that he has Li Mi's trust, and I regret that I have not been able to help Li Mi at a critical time. ”

Xu Shiji knelt on one knee, "Please also ask the King of Xiliang not to blame Xiongxin!" ”

Among the five tigers in Wagang, Zhang Tonger was killed by Pei Xingyan, Chen Zhiluo's whereabouts are unknown, Bing Yuanzhen is sleek, and Xu Shiji left Wagang, but he is still righteous to Shan Xiongxin. I am afraid that Xiao Buyi will be suspicious of Shan Xiongxin, and he is pleading for mercy.

Xiao Buyi stood up and helped Xu Shiji up and said, "He values love and righteousness, why should I blame him?" World achievements, you and my brothers, no need to be polite. ”

Xu Shiji's eyes were moved, and now under the hands of King Xiliang, there are many famous generals, but if you want to say that the two people who have high achievements are undoubtedly Xu Shiji and Li Jing. Xu Shiji first held military power in Xiangyang, and now he has military power in the Eastern Capital, which can be said to be the invisible second person in the Eastern Capital. Since Li Jing and Xiao Buyi were together, they first conquered Liyang, then Pingwagang, and then destroyed Lin Shihong in an instant, and the soldiers pointed to Jiangnan, which can be said to be a great achievement. Although Xiao Buyi is a rare master of advice, these two people are conscientious and cautious, and they have never overstepped their authority in matters that should not be taken care of. After the Wagang generals are attached, the brothers can get together again, although Xu Shiji is happy, he has always been self-respecting and self-respecting, rarely interacting with the brothers, and Zhai Rang rarely meet. It's not that the officials look down on the brothers, but they are afraid that people will be suspicious and say that they are forming a party for personal gain.

Following Xiao Buyi for many years, and seeing Xiao Buyi step by step to today's high position, Xu Shiji is even more cautious, and the emperor's suspicion has been caused by the high merit of the past dynasties, but fortunately, Xiao Buyi's affection for them has rarely changed.

Xu Shiji groaned, and a soldier stepped forward and said: "Qiqi Xiliang King, Shan Xiongxin asks to see." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "This is talking about Cao Ying, Cao Ying is here, please hurry." ”

Although Xu Shiji had adapted to Xiao Buyi's strange thoughts and words, he couldn't understand what Cao Ying had to do with Shan Xiongxin. His heart moved slightly, and he thought of what Shan Xiongxin was doing here.

When Shan Xiongxin came to visit, his face was slightly haggard, and after seeing Xiao Buyi, he knelt down on one knee and said, "King Xiliang, Shan Xiongxin is polite." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled and helped Shan Xiongxin up, "Why should Xiongxin be polite, I don't know what to do here?" ”

Since Shan Xiongxin arrived in the Eastern Capital, he went deep into the simplicity and took the initiative to ask to see Xiao Buyi for the first time. Shan Xiongxin saw that Xiao Buyi was straight to the point, and he didn't hesitate, and said straightly: "King Xiliang, I heard that Duke Wei is dead?" ”

Xiao Buyi sighed lightly: "What you said is true, although Duke Wei and I are great enemies, we have some sympathy for each other. He infiltrated the Jiangdu military camp and assassinated me, killing several people in a row, and I ......"

"Life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky." Shan Xiongxin said gloomily: "King Xiliang, Duke Wei stabbed you alone, presumably at the end of the road......

Xiao Buyi said after a while: "If he is willing to surrender, I may not kill him." ”

"How could a person like him surrender?" Shan Xiongxin muttered.

Xiao Buyi smiled helplessly, "Xiongxin, Duke Wei is dead......

"I heard that Duke Wei's body has been transported back to the Eastern Capital?" Shan Xiongxin asked.

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "So what? ”

Xu Shiji said: "Li Mi led the crowd to make a rebellion, causing disaster to the Central Plains, and now he is assassinating the king of Xiliang, the crime is extremely evil, and he should be shown to the public." Originally, the king of Xiliang only wanted to bury him, but the ministers didn't follow him, and they all thought it was appropriate to show the public! Shan Xiongxin was grateful to Li Mi for his kindness, but Xu Shiji didn't have a good impression of Li Mi.

Shan Xiongxin hesitated for a long time, "According to legal principles, it is also appropriate for the King of Xiliang to use this method to make the people angry. Ke Xiong trusted the Duke of Wei, a friend, just to collect the bones of the Duke of Wei after the public announcement of Wei was completed, I don't know if the king of Xiliang can give permission? ”

Xu Shiji frowned slightly, but he didn't say a word. Of course, he knew Shan Xiongxin, and he also knew that if Li Mi was his friend, he would do the same. But Shan Xiongxin said this, it was really extremely risky.

Xiao Buyi restrained his smile and said after a while: "Yes." ”

Shan Xiongxin knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to the ground, and said: "Shan Xiongxin thanked the King of Xiliang." ”

He turned to leave, Xu Shiji's eyes rolled, and he had followed him away, Xiao Buyi slowly sat down and said to himself: "It is said that Shan Xiongxin is loyal and righteous, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation." ”

Xu Shiji followed Shan Xiongxin away, and when he couldn't see Xiao Buyi, he said softly: "Xiongxin, do you know what you say today, if you run into someone else, I'm afraid it will be a crime of beheading." ”

Shan Xiongxin muttered: "What can you do if you cut off your head?" However, the king of Xiliang is magnanimous, and it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to reach, if there is a chance, I should ask for a retribution. ”

Xu Shiji smiled and said: "Xiongxin, there is a chance now, King Xiliang is only afraid that you will not go." He briefly said what Yuan Junzhang said, and Shan Xiongxin was slightly stunned, "I have been defeated repeatedly, and I am vulnerable in front of the King of Xiliang, will the King of Xiliang still use me?" ”

Xu Shiji shook his head and said: "Xiongxin's words are wrong, in the past, it was really a crime of discouragement and not war in the Wagang army. Besides, there is only one King of Xiliang in this world, and you returned under the King of Xiliang, why am I not like this? But the king of Xiliang is full of iron, and he can hit a few nails, and now he has laid down the great country, but the southeast and northwest all need manpower, and this will be talented, not everyone can. ”

Shan Xiongxin groaned: "Don't talk about it, Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao alone, if they lead the troops, they are far better than me." ”

"Of course they have other things to do, if Xiongxin doesn't want to go, I don't say it." Xu Shiji spread his hands.

"Shiji, please give me a few days to think about it." Shan Xiongxin said slowly.

Xu Shiji nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for your news." He said a few more words, turned around again and asked to see Xiao Buyi, seeing that Xiao Buyi was still groaning, he said about the matter of Fang Cai, and affirmed: "King Xiliang, as far as I know, Xiongxin should be able to agree to lead the troops." ”

"It's hard work." Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "However, if the ironclad cavalry wants to go to Taiyuan, it is difficult to take the line east of the river, so they can only follow what Yuan Junzhang said, go north along the Taihang Mountain and go north to Taiyuan and join Liu Wuzhou, otherwise I am afraid of leaking the news, and it will be difficult to have an unexpected effect." However, if you want to walk along the Taihang Mountain, you are very likely to encounter Yu Wenhua and Yang Shanhui......"

"King Xiliang, what is Yang Shanhui thinking?" Xu Shiji suddenly asked, "I think this person is really strange." ”

"I don't know." Xiao Buyi shook his head and said: "He is a Sui minister, and he is quite effective in suppressing bandits in Shandong, but he did not reply when we recruited him several times, which is really strange." However, although Yang Shanhui is brave, after all, he lives in Wu'an, which should have nothing to do with the overall situation. When Xiao Buyi said this, he groaned slightly, and thought of what Yang Dezhi said, and felt strange in his heart, "He was originally guarding in Linqing, but he was attacked by Dou Jiande several times, and he had retreated to the front line of Wu'an." If Dou Jiande hadn't been in a hurry to exterminate Meng Haigong now, he might have killed Yang Shanhui and taken Wu'an. ”

Xu Shiji nodded and said: "King Xiliang is right, although Yang Shanhui has won a hundred battles, but after all, he is alone, and he has no foundation to insist on, Dou Jiande has countless fierce generals, if he really attacks Wu'an, Yang Shanhui may not be able to defend it." ”

"But he didn't take refuge in anyone, what was he thinking?" Xiao Buyi groaned.

"This man...... As elusive as the end of the world. Xu Shiji said suddenly. Regarding how to deal with Taiping Dao, Xiao Buyi also discussed with him, because he also knew Tianya.

Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows, "As elusive as the end of the world?" ”

Xu Shiji said with a smile: "I'm just casually saying, if it is really as King Xiliang guessed, Pei Ju is the end of the world, then what Yang Shanhui does is really the same as Pei Ju, which is unreasonable." Both of them knew that they couldn't do it, and they seemed to want to act against the sky, but they didn't expect that they would inevitably end up defeated. ”

"Yang Shanhui, Tianya, Pei Ju? Can't do it? Xiao Buyi thought hard, "What does Yang Shanhui have to do with Pei Juke?" ”

Xu Shiji shook his head, "According to the information we have, there is no half." Pei Ju has been active in the Western Regions, while Yang Shanhui has been suppressing bandits in Shandong. ”

Xiao Buyi couldn't sort out the clues, waved his hand and said: "The soldiers are coming to block, the water is coming to cover the earth, the general trend is definitely not something that some conspiracies and tricks can resist." We only need to be careful of Yang Shanhui and Pei Ju, but we don't need to spend too much effort on them. ”

Xu Shiji agreed: "What King Xiliang said is extremely true. ”

"But we send troops to Jingcheng Pass, and we must be careful that these two soldiers and horses are secretly sabotage." Xiao Buyi instructed: "Shiji, immediately send an order to go down, and order Qin Shubao to take 10,000 elite soldiers to Guixiang, on the one hand, to cut off the return of Yu Wenhua, and on the other hand, to test Dou Jiande's reaction." Destiny Cheng bites Jin with 10,000 elite soldiers stationed in Lingquan, ready to attack Yu Wenhua and the Ministry at any time. Ordered Lord Zhang Zhen Zhou to bring 10,000 elite soldiers, stationed in Linshui, involving the troops of Wu'an Yang Shanhui, and covering our ironclad cavalry to go to Jingcheng Pass smoothly! ”

Xu Shiji was puzzled: "King Xiliang, your township is in Wuyang County, and it is close to Dou Jiande's department, I am afraid that it will cause Dou Jiande to be dissatisfied." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled: "What can he do if he is dissatisfied? We are not going to go to war with them, to raise up the army of justice, and to destroy the bandits. Qin Shubao is brave and strategic, and he will be able to deal with it properly! ”

"Courage is brave, but it lacks strategy." Xu Shiji said suddenly: "Liu Wuzhou is cunning, I'm just afraid that Xiongxin won't be able to deal with it." ”

"What you said is right, so I asked Shan Xiongxin to lead the troops with Wei Chi Jingde." Xiao Buyi groaned: "Wei Chi respects virtue and righteousness, Shan Xiongxin's surname is similar, and the two fight side by side, which can complement each other." However, before General Li went south, he also talked about forming an alliance, and he said at the beginning that it is up to me whether to send troops or not, but if I send troops, I should consider one person as a deputy to lead the troops. ”

"Who is it?" Xu Shiji asked.

"This person's name is Zhang Gongjin, and he is a talent selected by General Li."

Xu Shiji muttered: "General Li not only uses soldiers like a god, but also selects his subordinates, Guo Xiaoke, Zhang Liang, Chen Xiaoyi, Qi Luo and others can now stand alone, this Zhang Gongjin must also be quite talented......"

While the two were discussing, a soldier rushed forward and handed over a volume of military documents. Xiao Buyi opened it and smiled: "It's General Li's news." ”

Xu Shiji's spirits perked, "I don't know what good news General Li has?" ”

"General Li found Zhang Shan'an's hiding place in Longqiu Mountain, Dongyang County, and has set up an ambush to trap Zhang Shan'an!" Xiao Buyi breathed a sigh of relief, "There is one less bandit in Jiangnan. ”

Xu Shiji said in disbelief: "So fast? ”

On both sides of the Yangtze River, the few bandits on the left side of Poyang Lake are Lin Shihong and Zhang Shan'an, since Xiao Buyi took Xiangyang, it has not been peaceful for several years, but I didn't expect Li Jing to come out, and it only took more than a month of effort to burn Lin Shihong and behead Zhang Shan'an. Li Jing is as calm as ever, ruthless and a little cold-blooded!

In Li Jing's eyes, these bandits were like crops, waiting for him to wield a sickle and harvest in turn! On land and water, wheat or rice, the same harvest is correct!

"But listening to General Li's tone, I feel that it is still a little slower." Xiao Buyi sighed, "He has pacified Dongyang, and he was going to surrender the surrounding three counties as planned, but he didn't expect the chief Feng Ang on the other side of Nanling to rebel, and the thieves Gao Facheng and Shen Baoche made trouble in Nanling...... He asked me not to worry, saying that according to his observations, it would take some time for the bandits in Jiangdu to decide the winner. The barbarian land of Nanling is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not difficult to pacify. ”

Xu Shiji sighed lightly, "This General Li, in his eyes, there seems to be nothing that can't be done." When Xu Shiji said this, he was somewhat stunned, he was not dissatisfied with Li Jing, but envied his prestige. He also has a million soldiers in his chest, but because of the needs of the situation, he has always been sitting in the town and staying behind, dispatching and dispatching, when Li Jingtie rode to the south of the Yangtze River, he was excited after hearing it, but he also had regrets.

Xiao Buyi had already seen his melancholy, and said with a smile: "Shiji, everything is done the same." Your credit is not small at all, if you were not in charge of the Eastern Capital to dispatch the Quartet, General Li would not be able to quell the chaos with peace of mind. ”

Xu Shiji smiled and said softly: "King Xiliang, I understand!" ”

**

When Xu Shiji understood, Yu Wenhua couldn't figure it out! His head is now half flour and half water, and if he thinks about it, it will turn into a paste.

People in the mansion, Yu culture and worries, there is not a moment of peace.

Tens of thousands of Xiaoguo troops returned, but they didn't expect that there were only more than 20,000 people left in an instant. These people fled all the way north in panic, and when they arrived in Wei County, they finally settled down. After all, the 20,000 Xiaoguo army was not given for nothing, and they easily occupied Wei County, and even expelled Dou Jiande's men from Wei County. Yu Wenhua and stayed in Wei County, Pei Ju did not break his promise, and after Yu Wenhua and Stabilisation, he immediately took a few soldiers to Wu'an to meet Yang Shanhui and acted according to the discussed plan.

But Pei Ju has been gone for more than ten days, these days, Yu Wenhua and the whole day have been unable to sleep steadily, waking up every night, only afraid that Xiao Buyi's army will come to fight. As soon as Pei Ju left, he lost his backbone, and he poured his sorrows with wine, this time, he was drunk again, watching singing and dancing, and when he thought of the sad place, he burst into tears. Just as he was holding the wine bowl and drinking, Yu Wenzhi hurriedly arrived and said in a low voice: "Big brother, something is wrong, there are signs of an army in Lingquan, it may be that Xiao Buyi wants to attack us!" ”

Yu Wenhua slapped the table case, and said angrily: "Xiao Buyi deceives people too much! I endure it again and again, does he really want to force me to die? ”.
