When the flesh and blood in the hall were reunited, several people outside the hall were also embarrassed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Pei Bei They saw Yang Xiu and the little brother and son recognize each other outside the hall, and when they burst into tears, they couldn't help but have red circles in their eyes.

The third daughter quietly retreated, not wanting to disturb the reunion of father and son, Yuan Qiaoxi said in a low voice: "The little brother is so pitiful, fortunately, I can finally see his father." Wan'er ......"

When talking about Wan'er, Yuan Qiaoxi's heart was sour. It turned out that since Xiao Buyi turned around in Bashu, in addition to stabilizing the people's livelihood and actively preparing for war, the thing he was most concerned about was Yang Xiu's whereabouts.

Wan'er's simple words, Xiao Buyi seemed unintentional, but she had firmly remembered them. After returning to the Eastern Capital, Xiao Buyi immediately asked his subordinates to go to Jiangdu to inquire about Yang Xiu's news. Originally, when a new monarch was appointed, it was often the most dangerous in the royal family. When Yang Guang became the emperor, he killed several brothers and imprisoned them. Fortunately, Pei Valve, Yu Wenhua and Yang Gao were the emperor, and for the sake of An Junxin, they did not massacre the royal family. Xiao Buyi ordered Qin Shubao and Di Hongyuan to attack the baggage of the Jiangdu army, on the one hand, to cut off their back road, but the most important thing was to find Yang Xiu and his younger brother to meet.

"I think Yang Xiu is actually quite pitiful." Meng Chenxue sympathized: "I heard that Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, is both civil and military, and his appearance is dignified, but when I see it now, he must have been in pain all these years. ”

Yuan Qiaoxi said with pity: "Yes, he was imprisoned by his father for a few years, and he was imprisoned by his biological brother for more than ten years. ”

The three daughters were sympathetic in their hearts, Yang Xiu was younger than Yang Guang, but now it seems that some people believe that he is Yang Guang's father. The saint has suffered for Yang Xiu all her life, but Yang Xiu's suffering does not seem to be weaker than the saint in the slightest. Fortunately, the little brother finally came to the end, which made people feel some comfort in the sadness.

Pei Bei sighed, and Yuan Qiaoxi hurriedly asked, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

Pei Bei shook her head and said: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete!" ”

"Sister Pei, what you said is so good." Yuan Qiaoxi admired.

Pei Bei smiled and said, "This sentence was said by Brother Xiao. When he returned to the Eastern Capital, he was sad, and I wrote it down when I said this. ”

Yuan Qiaoxi's mind appeared with the waning moon, dead trees, and lonely shadows, muttering these words, only to feel Xiao Buyi's loneliness, and tears couldn't help but gush out.

Meng Chenxue sighed faintly, "Buyi said well, Sister Pei remembered well." Joys and sorrows are inevitable, although the younger brother is better now, but the father-in-law still has no news, which is really worrying. ”

"Human fate is predestined, and it is useless to think nonsense." A voice suddenly sounded from behind the third girl.

The three girls turned around sharply and said in unison: "Brother Xiao! ”

Xiao Buyi smiled and asked, "Did the little brother go to see his father?" ”

Pei Bei nodded, "Brother Xiao, I still want to find ......"

Xiao Buyi was silent for a long time, "This time I sent General Qin to raid the baggage of the Jiangdu army, and found that there were many palace maids and ministers, but I didn't find my father." Yu Wenhua and came from afar, and it doesn't look like taking my father with me, I think...... My father and the queen may have gone on their own. ”

"How can they do this?" Pei Bei remembered Xiao Dapeng's confused appearance and wanted to laugh, but she was very worried.

Xiao Buyi sighed lightly: "My father...... But it's useless to worry, I sent a few more groups of people to secretly investigate, Belle, I want to ask you something. ”

"You say." Pei Bei did not hesitate.

Xiao Buyi thought for a while, finally shook his head, and muttered: "I always feel that the person who can get rid of you and Pei Mingcui's tracking is very ......."

He wanted to speak and stopped, and a soldier hurriedly came to say: "Qi Xiliang King, General Xu asks to see." ”

Xiao Buyi didn't say anything more, instructed the third daughter to say a few words, and immediately went to see Xu Shiji. Xu Shiji showed his ambition and was in good spirits, and when he saw Xiao Buyi, he said in a low voice: "King Xiliang, Yuan Junzhang asked to see him, but he couldn't find a way, so he found me." ”

Xiao Buyi was stunned, and didn't think of the name for a long time, "Who is Yuan Junzhang?" ”

"He is Liu Wuzhou's brother-in-law." Xu Shiji explained.

Hearing Liu Wuzhou's three words, Xiao Buyi's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "He finally can't wait." ”

Xu Shiji also said with a smile: "Xue Ju is dead, Xue Renguo is unpopular, cruel and violent, I heard that he has been in a stalemate with Li Shimin for a long time, and I feel that it will be a matter of time before I am defeated." If Li Yuan defeats Xue Renguo, the next target is Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shidu. Although Liu Wuzhou has three counties, Mayi, Yanmen and Loufu, it is located in the border and does not occupy an advantageous area. If you don't strike first, when Li Yuan cleans up, I'm afraid there will be no power to fight back. ”

Xiao Buyi groaned: "Shiji, what do you say Yuan Junzhang is doing here?" ”

"Presumably to seek an alliance, or to ask us to send troops." Xu Shiji said: "Yuan Junzhang prepared a generous gift, and his attitude was extremely respectful. ”

"There is no problem with forming an alliance, but there is a big problem with sending troops!" Xiao Buyi hesitated: "I waited for Hebei to be unsettled and Jiangnan undecided, and I took advantage of the military power in my hands to promote the Hanmen and quietly weaken the power of the gate lords." Everything is by no means done overnight, you must know that speed is not enough, and now it is a series of battles, and the soldiers are tired. If we fail to send troops for thousands of miles, these soldiers will die without a place to bury, and they may even threaten our stability. ”

Xu Shiji nodded, "What the King of Xiliang said is good, at present, Pei Ju, Yu Wenhua and those who support Yang Gao to flee to Wei County, it is a legitimate thing to attack Yang Gao while the iron is hot." I am only afraid that more than ninety percent of the DPRK will oppose it. At present, Dou Jiande's mind is unclear, and he sent troops without authorization, but he was afraid that he would let Dou and Li form an alliance, and when the time came, it would be very bad for us to suffer the enemy on our backs. But Li Yuan is an old man who destroys giants, imitates the king of Western Liang, and is quite benevolent, if he lets him settle down Guanzhong, it is really our biggest hidden danger. ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, "Of course I know this, so we'd rather let Liu Wuzhou be in power than let Li Yuan be the king alone." ”

Xu Shiji's eyes lit up, "King Xiliang, with your words, I am much more relieved." We can't help Liu Wuzhou openly, so as not to cause anxiety to Dou Jiande and Luo Yi, but we ......" he whispered a few words in Xiao Buyi's ear, and Xiao Buyi laughed, "This plan is feasible." ”

"Then I'll start preparing right away." Xu Shiji's spirits lifted, "King Xiliang, who do you think is the best person to send?" ”

"I'm going to have to think about that." Xiao Buyi groaned.

"It's always right to think about it, but Yuan Junzhang always needs to see it." Xu Shiji suggested.

Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "Say I'm busy, let him wait a few days." ”

"What is the king of Xiliang busy with?" Xu Shiji asked puzzled.

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "If we are in a hurry, they will raise the conditions, and if we are not busy, they will lower their profile." Don't worry, if you wait for a few days, you won't be able to get things wrong, on the contrary, it is more likely to strengthen their determination to cooperate. ”

Xu Shiji nodded in admiration, secretly thinking that Xiao Buyi's details are really kung fu, this kind of scheming method is difficult for ordinary people to reach. At the beginning, he was calculated by his tricks and couldn't turn back to Wagang. After returning to the General's Mansion, Yuan Junzhang had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and when he saw Xu Shiji coming, he said with a smile: "General Xu, has the King of Xiliang promised to see me?" ”

"How can the king of Xiliang see him if he wants to?" Xu Shiji sighed softly.

Yuan Junzhang smiled and said, "Of course I know it's not easy to see, otherwise how could I beg General Xu?" Now General Xu is in charge of the Eastern Capital, and he is actually the number one person under the King of Western Liang. ”

Xu Shiji's face was very useful, "I just asked to see the King of Xiliang, he said that he was going to fight the rebel Yu Wenhua recently, and he was busy with affairs, so he could see you in about a month." ”

Yuan Junzhang's face was like a bitter melon, "General Xu, now that Guanzhong is tight, time is like gold, a month is too long, right?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed over a gift list, Xu Shiji looked at it, and his smile became stronger, "Then I'll take a look and discuss it with King Xiliang in half a month." Yuan Junzhang handed over a gift list again, Xu Shiji looked at it, and said in his heart that after Liu Wuzhou broke the building and annoyed the county, he plundered Jinyang Palace, but he really didn't take gold, silver and jewelry, these gift lists are really expensive.

"Since Mr. Yuan is refreshing and cheerful, of course I am refreshing and cheerful, you give me three days, and I will help you convince King Xiliang!"

Yuan Junzhang secretly thought that money could make ghosts grind, this Xu Shiji, righteous and awe-inspiring, but he didn't expect to be so greedy for money.

However, for people who are greedy for money, Yuan Junzhang has never been afraid, all he is afraid of is that the other party is not greedy for money. After waiting anxiously for three days, Xu Shiji really sent someone to find him and personally took Yuan Junzhang to see King Xiliang.

After arriving at the palace, he waited outside the door for a long time, and Xiao Buyi announced it.

Yuan Junzhang was secretly annoyed, and said in his heart that this Xiao Buyi has such a big shelf, but after all, he has a request for others, and the smile on his face is undiminished. After the garden, the path, around the rockery waterfall, only smell the birds and flowers, the scenery is quiet, the warbler and swallow language, a fragrance hits, there is a woman laughing: "I'm here." ”

Yuan Junzhang was a little stunned, and after the moonlight door, he saw Xiao Buyi blindfolded, laughing and playing with three women, playing a game of hide and seek, Xu Shiji coughed, "King Xiliang is very busy......

"yes, really busy." Yuan Junzhang replied casually.

Xiao Buyi's face was full of laughter, and Xu Shiji didn't dare to step forward, so he could only let Yuan Junzhang wait. I don't know how long it took, a woman sneered, and suddenly hid in the direction of Yuan Junzhang, Xiao Buyi's footsteps moved, and she arrived in front of Yuan Junzhang in an instant.

Yuan Junzhang was startled and hurriedly retreated, but he didn't expect Xiao Buyi to grab his wrist as soon as he stretched out his hand. Tearing off the blindfolded black scarf, he laughed and said, "If you catch it, you should be punished with three glasses of wine!" ”

The three girls all covered their mouths and snickered, and Yuan Junzhang was full of embarrassment and said: "King Xiliang, in Xia Yuan Junzhang." ”

Xiao Buyi let go of his hand and laughed: "It turned out to be Mr. Yuan, this king is waiting for you, come...... Since he was caught by this king, he was also fined three glasses of wine. ”

He took Yuan Junzhang's hand and came to the table, there was already a servant pouring wine, Yuan Junzhang was not easy to refuse, three glasses in a row, Xiao Buyi clapped his hands and smiled: "Good amount of wine." Mr. Yuan, I don't know if General Liu is okay? ”

Liu Wuzhou Ma Yi started an incident and ordered one party to protect itself, and just like Li Yuan at the beginning, he was named after Kuang Fu Sui Room, but now he is not called the emperor, but Xiao Buyi is still known as a general.

You must know that if the overall situation of three points has been decided today, no matter Xiao Buyi, Li Yuan or Dou Jiande, they have not been called emperors. Only Lin Shihong's kind of broken jar will be eager to become the emperor. Xiao, Li, and Dou are not in a hurry to be called emperor, they want to make full use of the resources of the Great Sui, and after they exterminate others, being called emperor is just a matter of pushing the boat along the river. Liu Wuzhou didn't want to be the emperor, because he knew that he didn't have this strength for the time being.

"General Liu has always been well, and he ordered him to come down and let him greet the king of Xiliang on his behalf." Yuan Junzhang opened the way with a gift, and handed over a gift list, Xiao Buyi didn't look at it, let the servant take it, and sighed softly.

Yuan Junzhang hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the King of Xiliang is sighing about?" ”

Xiao Buyi looked into the distance and said: "I think back then, this king and General Liu also had a few faces, and he and I did our best for the Great Sui back then, but I didn't expect that time would go by now...... It's hard to look back on the past. ”

Yuan Junzhang secretly thought about Xiao Buyi's coy attitude, "King Qiqi Xiliang, in fact, this time I came to ...... In addition to greeting the prince, there are some other purposes below. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows, "I don't know what else is wrong with Mr." ”

Yuan Junzhang hesitated again and again, and finally said: "King Xiliang, I want you to help the Sui room and work hard, but now that Hebei is undecided, Guanzhong is prospering, sooner or later it will become a big trouble for King Xiliang, I don't know...... Have you ever thought about sending troops to Guanzhong? ”

"Send troops to Guanzhong? Why did you say that, sir? Xiao Buyi was surprised and said: "I think this Wang Zhi is not fighting for the world...... And in the flat world! This king came to the eastern capital, and he had no choice but to do so. Now that the eastern capital has been decided, I think the Tang King will live up to the world and return the Sui room to peace. The king of Tang has already come out of Guanzhong, and if this king sends troops, it will be a superfluous move. Besides, the world has been in turmoil for many years, and the people are thinking about peace, so if they can not send troops, they should not send troops. ”

Xu Shiji said on the side: "The king of Xiliang is compassionate and compassionate, and the last general will admire it." ”

The two sang and harmonized, but they cooperated very well. Yuan Junzhang couldn't help but sneer, Xiao Buyi saw it, frowned and asked, "Mr. Yuan, I don't know what you think?" ”

Yuan Junzhang said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the King of Xiliang thinks that after Li Yuan pacifies Guan Long, he will obediently send the great country to you?" ”

Xiao Buyi waved his hand and said: "No, it is not sent to the hands of this king, but to the hands of Emperor Tai." When the time comes, if Guanzhong is determined, the world can be determined, the king and the Tang king are ministers, jointly assist the emperor Taidi, and return the world to peace, isn't it beautiful? The king is also tired, and the soldiers are also tired, thinking that the king of Tang probably also thinks the same. This king and the king of Tang have known each other for a long time, and they can be said to cherish each other, and they have a tacit understanding in their hearts......"

"I'm just afraid that King Xiliang won't be sincere, right?" Yuan Junzhang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he didn't want to endure it anymore.

Xiao Buyi picked up the wine and sipped it slowly, "I still want to hear Mr. Gao's opinion." ”

Yuan Junzhang saw that Xiao Buyi was not annoyed, and his spirits perked up, "In fact, everyone knows now that there are three points in the world, and the king of Liang, Tang, and Changle should be the strongest in the west." ”

"Oh? So does General Liu know or not? Xiao Buyi asked with a smile.

"If General Liu doesn't know, how can he let him come down and form an alliance with the King of Xiliang?"

"Alliance? Well said! Xiao Buyi smiled faintly, meaningful.

Seeing that Xiao Buyi didn't care about political affairs and only cared about laughing with women, Yuan Junzhang was somewhat contemptuous. But he knew that Xiao Buyi was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface. Over the years, the people who despise Xiao Buyi have basically died, and the rest treat him as an extremely sinister smiling tiger.

Yuan Junzhang is under Liu Wuzhou, he is quite a strategist, knowing what Xiao Buyi just said, implying that they are not qualified enough to form an alliance, Yuan Junzhang said in a deep voice: "Now that the King of Western Liang is sitting on Jingxiang and the tiger is in the eastern capital, and the sword is pointing at the world, General Liu also knows that he is not qualified to form an alliance with the King of Western Liang, so he has been quite hesitant. But only after listening to the words of the King of Xiliang, did he know that General Liu was bad. If King Xiliang really thinks so, he is afraid that he will not be far away from sitting and waiting to die. ”

Xiao Buyi just smiled, "That king should listen carefully." ”

Yuan Junzhang said in a deep voice: "Actually, the king of Xiliang doesn't say anything, and smart people already know it. At present, the king of Xiliang has insufficient troops to send troops everywhere, and he wants to level Jiangnan and Hebei first, and then go all out to enter Guanzhong. If Xue Ju is not dead, this move is actually very good. But now that Xue Ju is dead, Li Yuan has taken the lead, I am only afraid that the king of Xiliang will not wait for the time to pacify Jiangnan, and with Li Yuan's ability, he has already pacified Guanzhong. When the time comes, he occupies the fortress in Guanzhong, and if he joins forces with King Changle, he is afraid that the king of Xiliang will be attacked by the enemy and die without a place to be buried! ”

"In this world, it's not that you can join forces if you join forces, otherwise this king and Li Yuan would have joined forces a long time ago." Xiao Buyi said indifferently.

Yuan Junzhang sneered again and again, "Has King Xiliang forgotten what the surname of King Tang's wife is?" ”

"The surname is Dou, so what?" Xu Shiji said aside.

Xiao Buyi's face changed slightly, "Could it be that the Dou family and Dou Jiande still have something to do with each other?" ”

Yuan Junzhang said solemnly: "Of course, Dou Jiande actually has a lot of relationship with the Dou family, and I don't need to elaborate on this relationship." I just want to tell King Xiliang one thing, Li Yuan and Dou Jiande's possible surname are far bigger than yours. The king of Xiliang just wanted to follow the steps, but he didn't know that Li Yuan and Dou Jiande had already secretly communicated with each other, discussing joining forces to take your eastern capital. ”

Xiao Buyi stopped smiling, and his face became gloomy.

Yuan Junzhang saw it and continued: "A few days ago, Li Yuan had already presented himself as a vassal to the Turks and proclaimed himself the emperor, and the king of Xiliang only thought that Shibi Khan was bound by your oath and could not send troops, but he didn't know that the Turks were capricious and tore up their promises only overnight. Li Yuan has always shown weakness to the king of Western Liang, but he has long planned a strategy to attack the Central Plains. He only waited for the pacification of Guanlong, and sent elite troops to set off from Tongguan, and the Turks and the king of Changle were divided into two roads and three routes to take the eastern capital. Let's ask Li Yuan such a strategy, how can he support the Sui room with the king of Xiliang Kuang, and be a minister in one palace? ”

Xiao Buyi slapped the table angrily and said: "Shameless, can they ignore the people of the world by luring wolves into the house in order to compete for the world?" ”

Yuan Junzhang sighed lightly: "As far as I know, on both sides of the Yellow River, there are only three people who do not rely on the power of the Turks, the King of Western Liang, the Duke of Wei and General Liu. ”

When Xiao Buyi heard the word Wei Gong, he was at a loss in his heart.

Yuan Junzhang is right, Li Mi has indeed never relied on Turkic forces, and he, like himself, is a high-minded and arrogant person. But this Duke Wei died under his own hands!

For a while, I didn't know what it was like, Xiao Buyi slowly sat down and asked, "This king wants to ask, why did General Liu choose me?" I think Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe and Jun are bordering General Liu, if they join forces, they can resist Li Yuan! ”

Yuan Junzhang said: "If you want to be a dignified man, you can't wipe out the Turks, and you can protect your family and defend the country." But if it colludes with the Turks and harms the people of the Central Plains, it is really shameful for the world. General Liu was arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't want to borrow Turkic soldiers, so he chose the king of Western Liang, thinking that Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe, and all of them took their sons as hostages, called themselves sons, and sought the support of the Turks, shameless and despicable, how could General Liu join forces with them? ”

"Well said!" Xiao Buyi slapped the table, "Then I don't know what Mr. Yuan's strategy is to fight against Li Yuan?" ”

Yuan Junzhang breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, General Liu has been planning for a long time, and after he occupied the three counties of Loufu, Mayi, and Yanmen, he didn't send troops for a long time, but it was just a plan for arrogance. Li Yuan poured his elite division south in order to take Guanzhong, and now the elite soldiers and generals are all in Guanzhong, but Jinyang only let Li Yuanji, a boy from Huangkou, guard it. This son is extremely incompetent, he is looking for joy all the time, ignoring political affairs, General Liu calculates, if he suddenly raises elite troops to attack Taiyuan, Li Yuanji is timid and afraid, and he may not be able to defend it. As long as there is one gram of Taiyuan, we will take Xihe and other counties in an instant, wave our troops to the south, and we can follow the road that Li Yuan took back then, and fight a quick battle, and we should be able to take the land east of the river. ”

"It's that simple? Li Yuan is scheming, you don't have to take it lightly. Xiao Buyi said in surprise.

Yuan Junzhang said with a smile: "Thank you King Xiliang for reminding me, in fact, it can't be said that we despise Li Yuan, but Li Yuan despises us, so Li Yuanji is left to guard Taiyuan." The opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again, since General Liu has made a move, he should be eighty percent sure. ”

Xiao Buyi pondered for a long time, "And then? ”

Yuan Junzhang said in a deep voice: "Then we can wait for the opportunity to cross the river and enter the land of Guanzhong." If he can get Guanzhong, General Liu can give Guanzhong to the king of Xiliang, just ask for the land to be the king, and he will be satisfied to occupy the land east of the river. ”

"Liu Wuzhou's ambition is really not big." Xiao Buyi muttered.

Yuan Junzhang said with a smile: "General Liu is still self-aware, and he knows that he can't take the world by himself. Only ask for help from the king of Xiliang after defeating Guanzhong, with the end of the attachment, the horse's head is Zhan, tearing the earth and sealing the king, and the wish is enough. ”

"You've been talking for a long time, and this king still doesn't know what needs to be done." Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "This is going to Hedong, the terrain is rugged, the mountains are continuous, and it is not a good strategy for this king to go on an expedition. ”

Yuan Junzhang said in a deep voice: "Why did the King of Xiliang ask knowingly. ”

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "How do you explain this?" ”

Yuan Junzhang's face was excited, "Who doesn't know now that the King of Western Liang is the Central Plains, relying on the unparalleled ironclad cavalry in the world!" General Liu didn't dare to expect the king of Western Liang to mobilize his army, and only asked the king of Western Liang to send 3,000 ironclad cavalry to help, and he could take Hedong! Li Yuanji was incompetent, Jingcheng Pass was not heavily guarded, and the iron cavalry of the King of Xiliang could go up from Taihang and cross Jingcheng Pass into Taiyuan. When the time comes, the king of Xiliang and General Liu will be united, and Li Yuan will be alone, what a way! ”

He said endlessly, Xiao Buyi heard it and muttered: "This idea is indeed good, this king really can't find a reason to refuse!" ”
