Zhong Liyu's eyes were stunned when he heard this, and after a while, the corners of his mouth were revealed, his teeth were as white as the moon, he wore a polite smile, delicate and unpretentious, he said: "It turns out that the Taifu has told me so much, and all the praise and depreciation have come, ^"

Xia Wuyun smiled and was silent, noncommittal. It's just that when his eyes look at the boy, there is some imperceptible concentration and nervousness.

Zhong Liyu didn't respond as Xia Wuyun thought, but his head was slightly downsided, his eyes swept slightly, he stretched out his sleeve and made a "please" gesture to Xia Wuyun, and said with a smile: "Then let's have another game, if Taifu wins, I will naturally tell you." ”

The bright light shone brightly, illuminating your two long hands, Zhong Liyu fell with one hand, rubbed his brows with the other, and asked: "Han Jiang knows that Qu Yanlie is dead, why is it that there is no reaction at all until now?" ”

Xia Wuyun replied: "I heard that the spies planted in Hanjiang came to report, and Tulifan King Tuoba Hongzhi of Hanjiang faintly had the intention of leading his troops to attack. ”

"At this time?"

"Yes, Qu Yanzhu had already sharpened his knife and prepared to attack Shangsheng today, and even the battle book was written, but in the evening, the news of Tuoba Hongzhi's march came from the front line, although the news has not been verified, and the accuracy is debatable, but this has already made the Hanjiang courtiers send out a statement that it is not suitable to attack Shangsheng at this time, so the war dragged on."

"Then according to Taifu's opinion, if Han Jiang and Shangsheng fight, will they fight in the end?"

Xia Wuyun rolled up his sleeves and landed lightly, although he and Zhong Liyu answered like a stream, but he did not relax the arrangement of the chess pieces, he smiled and replied: "Ten **, ^"

Zhong Liyu was also calm, and he was not impatient when he heard the words, and called out: "Dou Yuan." ”

When playing chess or chatting with Xia Wuyun, Zhong Liyu usually did not let the palace people enter the inner hall, and let them wait a little outside. Hearing the summons, Dou Yuan immediately stepped forward, and after making a salute, he stood there fixedly, waiting for the prince's order.

Zhong Liyu licked his lips and said, "Go build two pots of tea." ”

There are so many kinds of tea in the palace, Zhong Liyu has just come back, and the palace people have not had time to find out the preferences of this prince, so Dou Yuan was there when he heard this, and there was no movement for a while.

Zhong Liyu saw that he didn't leave, and his mouth was a little dry, but he didn't get angry, he just asked, "Why don't you go yet?" ”

Dou Yuan was still an honest eunuch, not much older than Zhong Liyu, and when he heard this, he had no choice but to say sneeringly: "I don't know what kind of tea His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to have with." ”

Zhong Liyu pinched the white child, his hand suddenly paused, and a faint pain appeared imperceptibly in his heart, densely turned, floating in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it felt.

Suddenly a little stunned, the people in the palace have been isolated from him for too long, and have long forgotten his preferences, and the person who really knows his habits is separated from him at the moment, he has a heart, he cares, but he is powerless to find that person back.

After a while, Zhong Liyu spoke: "In the palace, is there any Qi Luo?" "Qiluo is a kind of tea in Shangsheng folk, which can be seen everywhere, the price is low, the taste is not good, and even the smell is a little bitter. Ordinary small households don't like the taste and don't drink it, and Qiluo can be called the lowest grade of tea in the folk.

Dou Yuan didn't expect Zhong Liyu to throw him such a question, he couldn't help but sweat a little, and replied: "If you go back to Your Highness, there is no Qi Luo in the palace. ”

The young man's burning gaze suddenly dimmed a little because of these words, and he fell down and said, "Then feel free, hurry up." ”

It didn't take long for the tea to come up, Zhong Liyu waved everyone away, and tasted tea with Xia Wuyun, he remembered the previous topic, and continued to say to Xia Wuyun: "The two countries fight."

If you don't fight, how can Taifu know? ”

Xia Wuyun drank the tea, and after taking a breath, he replied: "Han Jiang's master is unknown, this is just it, anyway, those barbarians of Han Jiang ignore these, but if Tuoba Hongzhi intervenes, the situation will be different." I told you the general situation of the five kingdoms of China a few days ago, and you should remember that the situation of the secession of the feudal towns of Hanjiang is very serious, and Tuoba Hongzhi is the largest vassal king of Hanjiang, and he often leads troops to attack the imperial capital of Hanjiang, and his existence is the biggest threat to Qu Yan. Seeing that Zhong Liyu bowed his head slightly to express his memory, he continued, "Now that he is suspected of entering the army, even if Qu Yan is not afraid of fighting, the courtiers and the people of Hanjiang will not agree." ”

"Therefore, this battle is bound to be unfought."

Zhong Liyu said: "I naturally know this. What I want to ask Taifu is, why did Tuoba Hongzhi start a war at this time, let Han Jiang and Shangsheng fight, and after you fight to the death, he will send troops to attack Han Jiang Kyoto, wouldn't it be more beneficial to him? ”

"You think very right, but the relationship between countries is complicated, it's not like it is theoretical, although Tuoba Hongzhi has the intention of conquering Hanjiang and establishing himself as the king, but he doesn't have that strength now, he has been attacking Qu Yan for many years, although he has some effect on the disintegration of Qu Yan and the group, but he himself is also a lost soldier, not unscathed. After all, Qu Yan Zhu is the ruler of Han Jiang, his power is widespread, the army is iron and blooded, Chen soldiers are everywhere, and there are all kinds of people and horses, Tuoba Hongzhi can't be sure whether Qu Yan Zhu still has the ability to resist his advance after the war between the two countries, he has no certainty of victory, moreover, Han Jiang's people fight on horseback all the year round, so there has always been a military tradition, they like to be evenly matched, fighting with knives and guns, they are ashamed to take advantage of the danger of others to attack, so Tuoba Hongzhi will stop even if he wants to take the opportunity to attack Han Jiang, It will not attack the Quyan Group after the war. And Tuoba Hongzhi led the troops to stand in the land of Hanjiang and did not fall all the year round, which at least shows that Tuoba Hongzhi has a certain political skill. Judging from the fact that he sent troops to suppress the realm at this time, it shows that he has an extremely keen insight, and he wants to find out how to maximize the benefits with the least damage. He cleared his throat and continued, "He inherited Shangsheng's love and sent troops to attack the Quyan Group, so that he could use this as a link and make a good alliance with Shangsheng, which can be said to be a big backer for himself, and his so-called attack on the Quyan Group can also be a disguise, he let out the words to enter the Hanjiang Imperial Capital, kill Quyan's passion to attack Shangsheng, and remove Tuoba Hongzhi's threat to Shangsheng, but in fact, he only made a statement, did not spend soldiers, and returned to the fiefdom safely, Qu Yan was jealous of his good relationship with Shangsheng and did not dare to send troops to recruit him, so that he could reap the benefits without spending a single soldier. ”
