To Xu Xinsheng's slight disappointment, after listening to his analysis, Wang Kunjun did not have any emotional fluctuations, nor did he have any changes in expression that could reveal his mentality, he still waved his hand with a smile as before, and said: "Brother Xu has a good reputation. Thinking that Zhang Yongde, as a relative of the emperor and the country, controls the power of the forbidden army, it is reasonable to say that he has the ability to compete with Zhao Kuangyin and compete for the dragon chair.

As for our brothers, it's just a local feudal town. And my brother is just a festival envoy far away from the capital, how can I compare with Zhang Yongde, who is in the court and is quite trusted by Chai Rong. Moreover, there are such shili and strength as our brothers, how much more than one or two in this world. If my Beiping army is really as strong as you said, brother, then there are more than two shili in the Zhou region that have the ability to hinder Zhao Kuangyin's usurpation of the throne and seek the dynasty. ”

"My brother is too modest." Xu Xinsheng said disapprerovingly, "In the territory of the Later Zhou Dynasty, although there are countless feudal towns, large and small festival envoys, defense envoys, and observation envoys, there are very few of them who are really capable and powerful to compete with the Later Zhou Forbidden Army, and the one with the strongest and strongest force is none other than the Beiping Army. Let's ask, in this world, in addition to the Beiping army, who has the strength to beat the Khitan 300,000 army to the point of losing their armor and fleeing from the wind. With such a strong strength, it is said that it is Zhao Kuangyin, even if Zhao Kuangyin and Zhang Yongde join forces, I am afraid that they will not be the opponents of the Beiping Army. From the brother's point of view, once there is turmoil in the Later Zhou court, the attitude of the Beiping Army may completely determine the belonging of the world and the owner of the dragon chair. ”

Wang Kunjun waved his hand again when he heard this, and said, "Brother Xu's words are wrong. Although the Beiping Army is strong, it does not dare to say that it is 'the first in the world'. As the saying goes, 'there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world', there are many people who are capable, powerful, and capable in the huge world, and if the Beiping Army vainly claims to be 'the first in the world', it will not be laughed off by people who are really capable.

Moreover, the reason why our brothers were able to defeat the Khitans and control the Beiping Army back then was because we responded to the situation and took advantage of the arrival of the Northern Expedition army in the Later Zhou Dynasty to attract all the attention of the Khitan defenders, and the Khitans neglected to guard against our brothers, so they saw the opportunity to give the Khitans a fatal blow. Second, it was the great help of the people of Youyun and the brave fighting of the soldiers of the 'Righteous Army' that completely defeated the powerful Khitan army and drove it out of the Great Wall. The third is because the Later Zhou court, or because Chai Rong did not want the people of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun who had just settled down to be ravaged by fire again, and did not want to give the Khitans a chance to recuperate and make a comeback due to the internal strife of the Han people, so he was tolerant and generous to hand over the Beiping army to the hands of our brothers, and granted the privilege of 'listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement'.

As for saying that the Beiping Army can decide the belonging of the world and can resist the alliance of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhang Yongde, the two major courts, it is even more unreasonable. Zhao and Zhang joined forces, and Liliang, which was almost the entire Later Zhou court, if our brothers really had the strong strength that Brother Xu said, why should they always stay on the 'one acre and three points of land' of the Beiping Army? Relying on this strong strength, wouldn't it be better to take the opportunity to go south and dominate the world. But our brothers are now running the Beiping Army in a down-to-earth and stable manner, without distractions, and they have no intention of going further and going to the next level.

The reason why this is so is because, on the one hand, there was the powerful and popular Later Zhou court, and then there was the Khitan barbarians who were still not completely defeated despite their vitality, and it was not easy for the Beiping army to protect itself, so how could they dare to have other ideas. On the other hand, no matter how powerful and powerful the military is, the future direction of the Beiping Army still depends on the will of the people living in this land. If the owner of this liliang is unwilling to cause chaos in the world and ruin the lives of the people because of his own selfish desires, then this liliang will only become a bridgehead for the benefit of all people and against foreign races, and will not become the vanguard of poisoning the people and fighting for hegemony in the world.

For our brothers, what we value is the stability and harmony of the world and the peace and contentment of the people, and we don't care who sits on that chair. That is to say, as long as the people sitting on it can make the world stable and harmonious, the people live and work in peace and contentment, can live in peace with our Beiping Army, and can ensure that the Eighteenth Sister and her son are safe and prosperous, then our Beiping Army will treat him like Chai Rong and the Later Zhou court, and they will be at peace with each other. ”

Wang Kunjun seemed to be led by Xu Xinsheng's words, and his words were both sincere and impassioned, and his face was completely worried about the country and the people, and there was no hint of pretentiousness and hypocrisy in it.

Although Xu Xinsheng couldn't tell for a while whether Wang Kunjun subconsciously said these words under his own "guidance", or whether he understood the purpose of his trip and deliberately revealed this information. However, Wang Kunjun, as the envoy of the Beiping Army and the leader of the "Qingyuan" brothers, will never be nonsense and nonsense when he says this. Even if the other side will have reservations and cover up in front of him, and there will be some inaccuracies in it, its core idea should not deviate from the established principles and policies for the future development of the Beiping Army and the "Qingyuan" brothers. That is to say, in the face of the possible turbulence and change of power in the Later Zhou court, as long as it does not affect the existing interests of the Beiping Army and the "Qingyuan" brothers, does not plunge the Central Plains into chaos again, and does not endanger the safety and interests of Lin Xiaoyu and her son, the Beiping Army and the "Qingyuan" brothers are more likely to take countermeasures of watching the fire from the other side and watching the tiger fight from the mountain, and stay out of the matter in this power struggle and will not participate in it.

Xu Xinsheng, who thought that he had learned from Wang Kunjun's mouth about the attitude of the Beiping Army and the "Qingyuan" brothers towards the turmoil in the Later Zhou Dynasty, while secretly rejoicing, naturally did not forget to express the conditions of Zhao Kuangyin to the Beiping Army and the "Qingyuan" brothers in a certain way. While throwing out all the beautiful words he could think of to praise Wang Kunjun and the "Qingyuan" brothers for their excellent character of "people-oriented", "worrying about the country and the people", and "taking the benefit of the people of the world as their own responsibility", he said seemingly casually: "My brother and other 'Qingyuan' brothers can think so much about the people, which really makes my brother admire." The brothers believe that virtuous ministers and righteous men like the 'Qingyuan' brothers who are dedicated to the country and the people, no matter who sits on the dragon chair, will rely on the important ministers and pillars of the country. He was crowned a king and a marquis, Yongzhen Beiping, famous in history, and famous for centuries, which must not be a difficult thing. ”

Although Wang Kunjun didn't seem to hear the conditions he put forward without a trace - Fengwang Fenghou and Yongzhen Beiping, he just thanked him again and again for his compliments and praises. But Xu Xinsheng believed that with the wisdom of the other party, he could fully understand the meaning of his words, after all, the other party said "Brother Xu's false praise" at the same time, and also said very clearly "borrowing Brother Xu's auspicious words".

After saying what he wanted to say and getting the news he wanted, seeing that the time was close to noon, Xu Xinsheng chatted with Wang Kunjun for a few more words, and then got up to say goodbye to the other party on the same reason that he went back to check the situation of Zhao Anyi, who was too drunk. And this time, Wang Kunjun did not keep him like Fang Cai, but asked Xu Xinsheng to bring his greetings to Zhao Anyi, and at the same time sent Xu Xinsheng all the way out of the courtyard where he lived.

Seeing Xu Xinsheng's figure disappear at the moon gate at the end of the corridor, Wang Kunjun, who was still smiling just now, immediately restrained his expression, and ordered the guards guarding the door with a serious face: "You quickly go and invite the seventh master and the eighth master to the study, and say that I have important matters to discuss with them." ”
