Li Xiaogong considered too many possibilities, but never considered it, Xiao Buyi was willing to give up Bashu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info It's like he thought about too many means of control over Bashu, but never considered giving up Bashu!

But if they really follow Xiao Buyi's suggestion, they will be tantamount to giving up Bashu, how is this possible?

The importance of Bashu to Guanzhong, Li Xiaogong understands better than anyone else.

When King Qin Hui was in the past, a courtier once suggested, 'Shu water leads to Chu, there is the strength of Ba, and the floating ship is east to Chu, and Chu land can be obtained.' If you get Shu, you will get Chu, and if Chu dies, the world will be together! This sentence means that from Bashu to the south of the river can go to Chu, as long as there are elite soldiers of Badi, then you can take Chu along the river, that is, Xiao Buyi's Jingxiang land, Bashu will get Jingxiang, and Jingxiang can win the world!

Li Yuan has been planning for a long time, when he was an official in Taiyuan, although he was cautious, he never dispelled the idea of taking the world, and his surname was Lao Lao and steady, and he referred to the strategies of his predecessors. After the Taiyuan Uprising, according to the foundation, Li Yuan's acquisition of the land of Guanzhong seemed to be easy, but it was the result of years of foresight. Although there are many lords in Guanlong, there is really no one else who is as far-sighted as Li Yuan except Xue Ju. Although Li Liang, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Guo Zihe and others were on the one side of the command and had strong soldiers and horses, they were complacent, lacked foresight, and did not want to forge ahead. Li Yuan's biggest enemy can be said to be Xue Ju, just like Xiao Buyi's biggest enemy is Li Mi. Xiao Buyi sits in the Eastern Capital, but in addition to Li Mi's eloquent talents, Dou Jiande, Luo Yi, Xu Yuanlang, and even Du Fuwei, Fu Gongyi and others are all in a corner, and although they seem to have the ambition to compete for hegemony, they lack the long-term plan to compete for hegemony. In the eyes of these people, being able to guard their own territory and be a soil emperor is already satisfied!

But Li Yuan and Xiao Buyi both understand that competing for the world is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. With these two ambitious people in this world, how can they accommodate bandits to occupy one side?

At the beginning, there was smoke everywhere, but now the situation has become clear, and now it has quickly reached the stage of devouring and annexing the territory, and finally it is the final showdown between several major forces. This is inevitable and a necessary law!

Li Yuan has always shown weakness to Xiao Buyi, but he has never dispelled the idea of eating Xiao Buyi, just like Xiao Buyi has always shown leisure, but he has never dispelled the idea of attacking Guanzhong. Xiao Buyi sent troops to Changping and choked the road of Tongguan's troops, which has begun to make active preparations for the attack on Guanzhong. Li Yuan didn't wait for Xue Ju to decide the winner, so he couldn't wait to send Li Xiaogong to pacify the land of Bashu in Shannan, also to prepare for the attack on the Central Plains.

This place in Bashu is a springboard for Li Yuan to attack the Central Plains, it is too important, Xiao Buyi can attack Guanzhong without Bashu, but if Li Yuan attacks Xiao Buyi without Bashu, he has lost the most important geographical advantage!

Xiao Buyi's move was very poisonous, playing the sign of benevolence, righteousness and peace, but it put Li Xiaogong in a dilemma. Without going through the scattered pass, Xiao Buyi can pass through Wuguan, Tongguan, Jingcheng Pass, and even attack Guanzhong through the northern Turks, but without going through the Sanguan, it is very difficult for Guanzhong to attack the Central Plains!

Because in the three lines of Guanzhong's attack on the Central Plains, Bashu is the most advantageous, and the rest, whether it is Tongguan or Jingcheng Pass, have no advantage! Giving up Bashu is equivalent to putting on shackles for Guanzhong, Li Xiaogongrao is brilliant, strategizing, hearing King Miao's inquiry, although his face is as usual, but the vest is already sweating!

The conditions proposed by Xiao Buyi are beneficial to the Miao people and Xiao Buyi, but they are the most unfavorable to Guanzhong. But he couldn't find a reason to refute it!

Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "It seems that King Li Junwang has thought too much, but he has never given up the idea of mobilizing troops in Bashu, so he is in a dilemma." If the Tang King is really so benevolent...... "He wants to speak and stops, but the meaning of his words is self-evident."

King Da Miao no longer paid attention to Li Xiaogong, looked at the three divisions and said, "I wonder if the three divisions can agree to form an alliance?" ”

Sima said in a deep voice: "King Ruoxi Liang promised that he would not add a single soldier to Bashu for the rest of his life. We really can't find any reason to object. ”

Situ said hoarsely: "King Xiliang's move, the luck of Bashu, the luck of the Miao people, Situ is grateful for the great virtue of the King of Xiliang for the people of Bashu." ”

Xiao Buyi stood up and bowed to the three divisions: "The three divisions are well aware of the righteousness, and this king is also grateful. ”

Sikong said softly: "If King Li Jun doesn't object, I want to give King Xiliang a cup of tea." ”

There was already a Miao girl full of fragrant tea, and the corners of Li Xiaogong's mouth twitched, and he didn't say a word. Danba Jiu was secretly anxious, seeing that his father was silent, he really didn't know how much else he knew, and he didn't dare to interject.

The third division picked up the tea and drank it all, Xiao Buyi just thought when he drank the fifth cup of tea, he didn't know how to drink the sixth cup of tea of King Da Miao, as for the divination, it was five or five separated, and it may not be as smooth as before.

Qin Shubao, Ma Zhou and others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xiao Buyi drink the fifth cup of tea. Ma Zhou secretly thought to himself that the Miao people seemed to have recognized the King of Xiliang, and he didn't know what kind of reputation this sixth cup of tea would have?

Yun Shui muttered, "This sixth cup of tea...... It's definitely not good to drink. ”

Xiao Buyi knew that Yunshui had a crow's mouth, but what he said was often extremely accurate, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "I don't know what King Miao commands?" ”

Li Xiaogong was also extremely nervous, his mind was racing, and he couldn't think of an idea. All his efforts seemed to be used in the empty space, but he was by no means idle, and he was left behind. But if he uses a back hand, the success is only in the number of five or five, and he really doesn't want to use the last resort unless it is absolutely necessary.

It is said that the saint has not cured the disease, and the disease has not been cured, and the chaos has not been cured, and Li Xiaogong also loves and hates the current Bashu. Because to take the Central Plains, Bashu must not be chaotic, otherwise the foundation is unstable, how to win? So although he uses a lot of means, he also has the ability to control, and he definitely doesn't want to lose his temper to the point where he can't control it!

King Da Miao was silent for a long time before he said, "Second brother, go and invite Xiao Shangshu." ”

"Daddy!" Danba Jiu protested inexplicably.

"Go!" King Miao said in a deep voice.

Although Danbajiu was still full of grief and indignation, he didn't dare to disobey, but before he took a few steps, King Da Miao said again: "Bring your mother-in-law with you." ”

Everyone was shocked again, secretly thinking that this was mostly to try the original matter, and the king of Da Miao acted resolutely, obviously wanting to eliminate the mustard before forming an alliance. Danba Jiu hated to leave, but when he came back, he only brought Xiao Yu.

Although Xiao Yu has been imprisoned for many days, she seems to be in good spirits and shows no signs of abuse. Xiao Buyi was a little relieved when he saw it, and secretly thought that King Da Miao had done so many things quietly, and his sincerity could be seen.

Seeing that Xiao Buyi and King Da Miao were there, Xiao Yu was a little surprised, and quickly stepped forward and said, "Xiao Yu see King Miao and King Xiliang." "It turned out that he had been here with the King of Shu back then, so he knew King Miao.

Xiao Buyi comforted softly: "Uncle has worked hard. ”

Xiao Yu said ashamedly: "Weichen is ashamed of his trust in the King of Xiliang. ”

"It's a shame to trust you...... Not trust? Xiao Buyi smiled.

Xiao Yu instantly understood the meaning of what Xiao Buyi said, and his face showed a blank look, "King Qiqi Xiliang, for the things that should be said, Weichen has always been like a fog. ”

"Can you erase everything you have done if you are in the fog?" Danbajiu suddenly shouted, turned around and knelt in front of his father, "Dad, the child has been humiliated, if you can't redress the child's grievances, the child ...... I'd rather die! ”

Of course, the shame he said refers to the fact that his wife was molested by Xiao Yu, he is the second prince of Miao Village, this kind of thing is really more uncomfortable than killing him, if it weren't for the King of Miao, even if he didn't kill Xiao Yu, he would have tortured him to pieces, and now he saw that his father wanted to let Xiao Yu go, and grief was inevitable.

There was only the sound of Danba Jiu's heavy breathing in the air, and King Da Miao waited for a long time before asking, "Where is your mother-in-law?" ”

"When I turned around, I found out that she was humiliated and had committed suicide." Danba Jiu choked.

Gu Liye was surprised, Lang Du was stunned, only the corner of Yunshui's mouth was still smiling. When Qin Shubao saw it, he secretly thought that this woman's surname was Liangbo, no wonder Shi Gu poisoned him silently.

Xiao Buyi frowned, knowing that things had changed again.

King Da Miao was silent, "If you die, you will carry it over." ”

His calmness made all Miao people feel panicked, and Danba Jiu said in a trembling voice: "Dad, her death is extremely ugly, don't ......"

"Bring it here." King Da Miao said word by word.

Danba Jiu's eyes were distracted, and he sat down weakly, sad and more frightened. After a while, Danbajiu's mother-in-law was carried over, but her body was covered with a layer of white cloth, which made people unable to see her face clearly, but the white cloth showed blood stains, which looked extremely miserable. King Da Miao said: "Xiao Shangshu, please tell me everything that happened to Jin Zhuni at the beginning." "Jin Zhuni is the name of Danba Jiu Po Niang, King Da Miao said that it was still plain, but Gu Liye and Danba Jiu felt a chill in their hearts.

They rarely saw the time when the Great Miao King was so persistent, and they rarely saw the Great Miao King so angry.

King Da Miao looked calm, and he didn't even say a word out loud from beginning to end. But the more this is the case, the more chilling it makes the three brothers chill, they know their father's surname too well, and they know what is hidden behind their father's apparent calmness!

Even Danba Jiu didn't dare to say another word.

If the King of the Great Miao wants to investigate, he will definitely find out, and if the King of the Great Miao wants to investigate, no one can stop it!

Xiao Yu had the opportunity to redress his grievances, but his face was dazed, and he said after a while: "King Miao, I don't know what to say. When I came here, it was the second prince who received me. At the beginning, the second prince was good at wine and good food...... And the second lady is invited to ......"

"It's a pity that the wine and food are good......," Danbajiu still had to say something, but he could see King Miao's face as calm as water, and he couldn't speak anymore. Although Li Xiaogong still smiled, his eyes also flashed with uneasiness.

Xiao Yu said with confusion: "Although I am not strong enough to drink, but when I only drank the second glass, suddenly the sky was dark, and when I woke up again, I was already in the cell, I heard them say ......" The corners of his mouth showed bitterness, Xiao Yu said in a low voice: "The rest of the things are what they said to me." ”

Xiao Buyi never understood why Xiao Yu lost his normalcy at the beginning, but when he heard him say a few words, he already understood something in his heart. King Da Miao instructed Sikong Dao: "Take a drop of Xiao Shangshu's blood." ”

Danba Jiu's face was already showing a look of horror, and Li Xiaogong frowned even more. Sikong wears a silver mask, making it impossible to see the expression. Slowly, a silver needle was flashed out and stabbed into Xiao Yu's arm. Everyone was puzzled, but Xiao Yu did not resist, and his expression was calm. A Miao person had already handed over a silver bowl, Sikong dripped blood into the bowl, and with a flick of his fingers, several kinds of smoke entered the silver bowl. Xiao Buyi saw that his methods were similar to those of Yunshui, and secretly thought that these people's poisoning methods were all excellent, but fortunately, they were all in Brazil, and they didn't like to cause trouble, otherwise they would be a scourge when they arrived in the Central Plains.

Three drops of water fell into the silver bowl, Sikong glanced at it, and Shi Li said: "King Qi Miao, Xiao Shangshu's blood is mixed with the remnants of the Heartless Gu!" ”

Danbajiu's face changed drastically: "This ...... How is this possible? ”

Sikong got the instructions of King Da Miao and explained: "The person who takes the Heartless Gu will lose his mind in a short period of time and act unreasonably, but he doesn't know who ordered the Heartless Gu?" ”

Everyone had already looked at Danba Jiu, and Xiao Yu suddenly realized: "It turns out that there is ...... in the wine."

Dan Bajiu suddenly said urgently: "It turns out that Jin Zhuni was beaten by Jin Zhuni in the wine, she was worried that her sins would be exposed, so she committed suicide by taking Gu poison!" ”

Sikong was silent, but King Da Miao said: "Carry Jin Zhuni down." He asked to bring Jin Zhuni up, but he didn't even look at it, so he let people carry him down again, but no one felt that it was inappropriate. Xiao Buyi secretly thought that if Danba Jiu still insisted on denying it, King Da Miao might not be able to examine Jin Zhuni's body, and the more this matter was investigated, sooner or later it would involve Dan Ba Jiu. Danba Jiu's poisoning must have been instructed by Li Xiaogong, but if it continues to be investigated like this, it is already related to the internal affairs of the Miao people. He doesn't want to say that he is just a distinguished guest now, even if he really forms an alliance, he will definitely let the Miao people solve it themselves, and it is not suitable to interfere. It is rare for King Miao to be able to get to the point where he is now, and not to protect his son.

Although King Da Miao didn't check in person this time, Xiao Buyi saw that his face was frowning layer by layer, although he was old, he was not mediocre at all, and admiration rose in his heart.

"The alliance is sincere." King Da Miao didn't look at his second son, and said in a deep voice: "Now that it has been found out, Xiao Shangshu was framed by someone, so he lost his mind, not only did he not despise our clan, but when it came to it, we were still ashamed of Xiao Shangshu...... If Xiao Shangshu has any dissatisfaction, he can put it forward. ”

Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Buyi, knew what he meant, and bowed to the ground and said: "King Miao is aware of everything, just a misunderstanding, and let it disperse, I don't know what King Miao wants?" ”

King Da Miao laughed, "Actually, this is the second time I've seen Xiao Shangshu. ”

Xiao Yu was a little surprised, and said respectfully: "What King Miao said is good, when the King of Shu came here, he had a relationship with King Miao because of King Shu...... It's just that at that time, I only said a word to King Miao. ”

King Da Miao muttered, "I still remember. ”

Xiao Yu was full of surprise, "King Da Miao still remembers what I said?" ”

King Da Miao said lightly: "What you said at that time was that you hoped that the Great Sui and Miao people would always be friendly and live forever. It's just that I didn't think about it, not to mention life and life, even if it was my life, I would have to form an alliance with the two lords of the Central Plains. ”

Xiao Yu looked back on the past and couldn't help sighing. Thinking that the Great Sui was unified, the prosperity was incomparable, the subduing of the four desolations, and the shock of the overseas frontiers, when the alliance was formed, even if it was him, how could he have thought that the Great Sui would fall soon?

With a wave of his hand, there was a Miao girl full of the sixth cup of tea, but the big Miao King did not raise it this time, his eyes opened, revealing a cold glow. When everyone saw it, they were all awe-inspiring. When they first saw King Da Miao here, everyone had a tendency to despise him, only to feel that his sons were flying and domineering, and he was too old to be old, most of which was because of his connivance with his sons, which led to the current situation. Where did you ever think that King Miao was strict and fair, and dealt with these things almost with a wave of his hand, then he knew that the peace of Miao for decades was not without cause.

"I heard that the king of Xiliang has not married a wife until now?" King Da Miao asked suddenly.

Xiao Buyi frowned slightly, nodded in an instant, and said, "Not bad." ”

A slight smile appeared at the corner of King Miao's mouth, "Yunshui is not married yet." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned, even Yun Shui's smile was a little stiff, and everyone had already heard that the conditions for drinking the sixth cup of tea were very likely to be related to Yun Shui's marriage.

Li Xiaogong's face was really a little green this time, and he tried his best to calm down, because he found that all the conspiracies and tricks had no effect at all in front of this wise old man, but when he heard the two words asked by King Miao, a raging fire was already burning in his chest! He doesn't know how much King Miao knows, but it is obvious that King Miao is an unusually smart person, smart people will not be in a hurry to uncover all the hole cards, nor will they rush to force the opponent into a desperate situation, King Miao has not mentioned what Li Xiaogong has done so far, not that he does not know, but just wants to leave room for each other.

But if you really marry Yunshui, then he Li Xiaogong really has nothing to talk about with King Miao.

Xiao Buyi's smile was also a little stiff, and he couldn't help but say: "Miss Yunshui is talented and beautiful, if someone marries her...... But it's a blessing. ”

Yun Shuibian flattened his mouth and said: "Don't be duplicitous, I have already seen it, you actually want to say, who married me, but it was bad luck!" ”

Xiao Buyi smiled a little wryly, secretly thinking that this woman was so unruly and unrestrained, if she really married back, it would not be a blessing. King Da Miao smiled and said: "King Xiliang is just leaving you with affection, and I also know that this girl is reckless in her surname, and she is very pampered." With a light sigh, King Da Miao made a request, "To drink the sixth cup of tea, I asked King Xiliang to marry Yunshui, and it must be established as the main room!" ”

When his voice landed, Lang Du Cha had already shouted: "Dad, no." ”

King Da Miao turned his head to look at his third son, "Why not?" ”

Lang Du didn't know how to refute for a while, just rubbed his palms, "Most of the people in the Central Plains are cunning and untrustworthy, a lesson from the past, how can Daddy let Yunshui repeat the mistakes of the past?" ”

"Yunshui is not a saint." King Miao said lightly: "The current Miao Village, it's still up to me to decide!" ”

Lang Ducha showed bitterness on his face, but he could only slowly retreat, what King Miao said was right, he said that the power was not handed over to others, he was still the master of the Miao people. What he said was the golden rule here, and even his son could not refute it. After Yun Shui heard his grandfather's request, he suddenly showed an extremely strange expression on his face, as if he didn't believe it, and it seemed to be incomprehensible, and after a while, he turned into ridicule and happiness, and even giggled again, "Grandpa's idea is really good." ”

She smiled happily, as if she was talking about someone else's marriage, but everyone had different expressions, and none of them could laugh. These people have accidents, unbelief, loss, and dazedness, Xiao Buyi also sat there in surprise, speechless for a long time, Li Xiaogong's face was blue, but when he heard King Da Miao's conditions, he smiled instead, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that no matter what, Xiao Buyi would definitely not be able to pass this level!

And since King Da Miao opened his mouth to put forward conditions, there is no possibility of repentance!

So, this time the Seven Tea Alliance is just a joke?

Li Xiaogong even knows the rules of the Seven Tea Alliance better than the Miao people, and he knows Xiao Buyi's surname Bing better than Xiao Buyi's friends, he knows that this request of King Da Miao is undesirable to others, and even to him, but for Xiao Buyi, it is a big problem!

Xiao Buyi was silent for a long time before he said, "King Miao......"

"You're in no hurry to reply." King Miao smiled and said: "I will give your guests two hours to think about it, please reply to me when the time comes!" ”

After he finished speaking, he stood up tremblingly, turned to leave, and the third division followed closely, followed by a group of Miao people. In an instant, there was only one Li Xiaogong left in the place of negotiation. Seeing everyone's sword-like eyes, Li Xiaogong walked out with Shi Ran, and beckoned Lang Du to kill: "Third prince, I want to talk to you about something." ”

Lang Ducha was depressed, but he did not refuse Li Xiaogong's proposal, and left side by side with him, Xiao Buyi and the others looked at each other, knowing the seriousness of the situation, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Xiao Yu said a few words to Ma Zhou, and quickly understood the whole story, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Ma Zhou took the lead and said: "King Xiliang, I heard that in the Seven Tea Alliance, King Miao's request must not be reversed, otherwise he will regret his promise and there will be an extremely severe punishment." ”

"He is the king of Miao, who else dares to punish him?" Ah Rust said lonely: "I think...... It's not bad to marry Yunshui. ”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "Although the King of Da Miao is the master of the Miao people, if there are three priests and saints who oppose it, many places are not up to him, so he only has half of the rights to the Seven Tea Alliance." If he breaks his promise and ruins his request, he will naturally be punished by saints, priests, and others. ”

"Who set this rule, why is it so domineering?" Shi Danai asked, "Isn't it possible that the Lord of the Miao people can't do what he wants?" ”

Xiao Buyi felt that this rule was good, and there was always a vague impression in his mind, but he couldn't capture it. Xiao Yu smiled bitterly: "This rule is exactly what today's King Miao has established. ”

Everyone was stunned, and Xiao Yu explained: "At the beginning, King Miao was only afraid that his power would be too great, which would lead to incompetence and make mistakes, so he set this rule to restrain himself, and he has worked hard for decades and rarely made mistakes. Everyone's admiration for King Da Miao was one more weight, and Qin Shubao suddenly asked, "Xiao Shangshu, you know the customs of the Miao people best, according to your opinion, this time King Xiliang, do you have to marry Yunshui?" ”

Xiao Yu pondered for a long time before saying, "Yes, there is no other way." Commoner...... I know that you have a very good relationship with Yuan Lan now, and I also know that you have always had the intention of making Yuan Qiaoxi the main room, but as the lord of the Eastern Capital, you should be the most important country and the marriage should be light. At the moment, it is important to marry Yunshui, Bashu is very important, if you can't form an alliance, we really don't have the slightest chance of winning, turn around and Yuan Lan said, he should also be considerate. So please also ask the king of Xiliang...... Focus on the big picture. ”

When he said this, he bowed deeply and was speechless for a long time. Xiao Yu is Xiao Buyi's uncle, so he can persuade him like this, but the rest of the brothers look at each other and feel that it is very inappropriate. But when it comes to the country, no one can refute it.

Xiao Buyi's face was blank and said: "Uncle doesn't have to be polite, I just want to ask, what was the reason for the incident with the Holy Maiden in the first place?" ”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "After I arrived here with Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, Miao Village did have a holy woman, and the Miao people here respected her like a fairy, and the holy woman was even more prestigious than the King of Da Miao, but I quickly turned back to Xijing, only to hear that the holy girl died suddenly, because of the holy woman, Miao Jiang was extremely disgusted with the Central Plains people, and I didn't know why, the Miao people kept it a secret, and I didn't know." But after the death of the saint, I have never heard of the Miao people setting up a saint again, and this time it came out, it was really a bit strange. ”

Xiao Buyi sat there and said softly, "I'll think about it again." Everyone was in a complicated mood, but they didn't want to interfere with Xiao Buyi's thoughts. Two hours have passed in a blink of an eye, the distant reeds are blowing, the king of Da Miao has already led everyone to turn around, Li Xiaogong is still like a dog skin plaster, King Da Miao sat down, looked at Xiao Buyi and said in a deep voice: "I don't know if the king of Xiliang has made a decision?" ”

This time, even Yun Shui looked at Xiao Buyi with curiosity, looking a little nervous, Xiao Buyi slowly stood up, and was silent for a long time before saying: "King Da Miao is kind, this king has a heart." It's just that this matter of marrying, the king can't obey his fate! ”

His voice fell to the ground, although it was low but heavy, Qin Shubao and the others' hearts sank, Li Xiaogong smiled, and King Da Miao still looked flat, but muttered to himself: "So...... The alliance of the seven teas is ...... after all But it's empty? ”

(To be continued)
