Chapter Thirty-Six: Tired of Killing Its Momentum
This is not the first time Xiao Di has expressed his doubts about her.
Pei Yaowei also knows very well that he has too many flaws in front of him recentlyβit can be said that there are more and more. She knew she should be cautious, and many times, she should pretend to be ignorant, but she was also more and more reluctant to disguise.
Getting along with him now has brought her a change that she never expected. This kind of change, as if, step by step, goes back to the time when I was a teenager-
At that time, she was not a queen, she did not have the pain of powerlessness, she was not a princess of Qin, and she did not have the sorrow of a broken family.
At that time, she was just a girl waiting to be married, chic and carefree.
The current change is fascinating, and she knows that it is a risk, but she does not want to stop.
The silky hair slowly flowed down from his palm, Pei Yaowei changed his arrogance, neatly changed into a sad look, and said to him: "It's not that I didn't tell you, it's just that you were so scared just now, and I forgot what I was thinking before!" I don't know who to cry to! β
Xiao Di smiled, didn't care, got up and went over, grabbed her shoulders, and told her to face the map.
"Then remember the memories well, when you remember, make it clear to me, and then go to sleep." He said.
Pei Yao turned her back to him and rolled her eyes fiercely.
"Actually...... Ever since I was robbed in Yangpu County, I've been thinking about one thing. After a while, she got up seriously, looked at him and said, "At that time, Xi Chuwan and the eldest grandson really found Pan Xi, could it really be a coincidence?" β
Xiao Di sat on the bookcase, and when he heard the words, his expression moved.
Fanjing, Zhen'an Princess's Mansion.
In the princess's study, she has been picking up a map for many years, and at this time, it is late at night, and Yuwen Zhijun is also there, staring at the border between the two countries on the map.
I don't know how long later, there was a sound of the door opening outside, and then, I saw the big girl coming quickly - she was wearing a night dress, and she was still holding the mask that had just been torn off, and at first glance, she looked like a handsome secret guard.
"Princess!" Negative spring drove straight in, saw Yuwen Zhijun, and saluted with fists.
Yuwen Zhijun didn't move his gaze, hummed lightly, and then said, "I'm back." β
Negative Chun stood up and said, "The errand in the north has been completed, the princess can rest assured!" β
Hearing this, Yuwen Zhijun slowly turned his head to look at her.
"It's finished?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
Negative Spring said: "Yes, everything is as you expected. The Pan clan had doubts about the alliance with the Kui clan before, and he couldn't make up his mind. But after Xi Gongzi and them made such a fuss, the Kui clan immediately grabbed the words and came to recruit 'the wicked people to sue first', questioning the sincerity of the Pan Alliance, and bluntly saying that they would break off cooperation with them and break up in two. Pan Xian panicked when he heard it, and he didn't dare to have any doubts now, so he just cared about keeping it! β
Yuwen Zhijun smiled slightly.
Things have come to this point, everything is under her control, and there is nothing to be surprised about. It's just that when she thinks of Pan Xianlai, she can't help but sigh at how interesting it is at this time.
"It's a pity that there are so many hairpins in the Liang Kingdom, and they are proud of Pan Xian's vein...... she sighed, sounding very regretful: "Thinking about the Pei clan back then, full of Xiushi, what a scenery, if it weren't for the times, how could these clowns be rampant...... Alas, it's really a trick! β
Negative Chun smiled, and was about to say something, but he remembered the knock on the door outside.
It's a cherished autumn, and it is said that the horse master has returned home.
Yuwen Zhijun handed the candlestick in his hand to Negative Chun, casually ordered two follow-up words, and then went out with Xiqiu and returned to the dormitory.
Pei Yao's words were also Xiao Di's heart for a long time.
He pondered for a moment, raised his chin, and gestured to Yutu, "What are you suspecting in these families?" β
"It's not a suspicion." "That's it......," she said. After hearing about Pan Xian's request to return to his hometown with his wife and children for the funeral, there are some things I don't understand. β
Xiao Di raised an eyebrow and asked her to continue.
"The Pan family is going to leave Beijing at this time, and for this reason, Pan Quan even handed over the defense of the Beijing Division, which shows that the Pan family knows that they do not have the ability to directly control the Beijing Division, and if they want to rebel, they must fight step by step from their own lair."
She looked at Yutu, and continued: "Judging from the Pan family's control of Yongchuan's military power, there is a chance that its plot is the first line of Changzhi in the southern capital - this is not difficult to understand, the status of the southern capital is respected, and the terrain can be connected to the Pan family's hometown Wangchen City, which is very suitable for them." And what is strange to me is that the area to the east of the southern capital is narrow, and it is adjacent to the Zhou State within two counties. If it is speculated as usual, now that Liang and Zhou are on good terms, and the Pan clan suddenly rebelled, should they consider whether the Zhou State would take advantage of the fire to rob under the pretext of helping Liang to quell the rebellion? β
Xiao Di's eyes were deep, his smile was shallow, and he said: "Yes, once the Zhou State really sends troops to deal with the Pan family, it will not be returned if it occupies any more land...... It was really a competition between the snipe and the mussels, and the fisherman benefited. β
Pei Yao said with a smile: "Although Pan Xian has been a little impetuous, but in the end, he is the one who stepped on his brother's position, and this simple consideration will not be absent." However, Pan still has to go, or is it the opposite. β
He nodded, his eyes flickered, and he could look at her, "However, the Pan family still has to go, or the opposite." β
Repeating her words, he took a pen from his hand, dipped it in ink, and walked slowly towards her.
"Why is that?" Standing opposite, he asked.
Pei Yaowei looked at the pen in his hand, took a step to the side, and made a gesture of please.
Xiao Di smiled, picked up the pen, and ticked off several Zhou family families in her circle one by one, and in the end, there was only one left.
- Yuan Yan Kui.
Pei Yao's eyes moved, obviously surprised: "Kui's ......"
He threw the pen casually and nodded, "Well, Yuan Yan Kui." The first family in the western border of the Zhou Kingdom, holding an army of 400,000 in his hands. β
"You mean...... Kui's and Pan's are secretly colluding? She asked.
At this moment, Pei Yaowei was a little scared. If it's a side of the Shi clan, it's just that, but it's the Kui clan. Not to mention the status of the Kui clan in the Zhou State and the strength of his troops, the location of the Kui clan alone is enough to make people tremble.
Yuanyan Kui's clan is the one where she circled these families, the closest to the border of Liang Zhou, and the closest to Pan's hometown Wangchen City. If these two clans are really in league and are embarrassed, then once the two clans raise an army, they will naturally form a group and rely on each other, which is difficult to overcome.
Xiao Di rarely saw such a real fear on her face, and for a while, the tip of her heart seemed to be moved by her expression, and she tightened slightly.
"Are you so worried?" As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and rubbed her back twice.
It turned out that she was just worried, but at this moment, she was a little shocked.
Xiao Di told her that a few days ago, his people had found out that the Pan family and the Kui family had secret dealings, and now it seems that most of the two families have reached a cooperation, rebelled in parallel, and relied on each other.
"And you're still so laid-back?" She was more and more surprised, "Not worried at all? β
"There's nothing to worry about." He said, "The Pan clan is opposed, and that's just the trouble of the big beam." However, the opposite of the Kui clan is not the main beam. β
Pei Yao's heart moved, she was stunned, and she came back to her senses.
"What do you mean...... Want to inform Zhou Guo about this? β
He bowed his head and tucked her shirt, "I have secretly arranged for someone to inform Xiao Zhu about this matter, at this moment." The people sent by Xiao Zhu to Fanjing were already on their way. β
Pei Yaowei breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but his heart was not completely let go because of his words.
Some worries seem to be solved, but Xi Chuwan and the eldest grandson really found Pan Xi...... But I still can't say it......
Having said that, it was already past midnight, Xiao Di urged her to sleep, and the two walked a few steps side by side, but she suddenly stopped-
"Wait!" Her eyes froze, and she unconsciously clenched his arm, and said, "No! β
He glanced at her hand on his arm and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Kui's ...... It won't be the other way around. β
Xiao Di's eyes moved slightly, and his voice sank a lot: "What did you say?" β
She looked at him fixedly, and said carefully: "What I said before, how do you explain the matter of Xi Chuwan and the eldest grandson really finding Pan Xi?" β
He frowned, but didn't speak.
Pei Yao said, "I think of an explanation, can you listen to it?" β
Xiao Di followed her back to the library, Pei Yao was still holding the pen in her hand, and while she was pacing, the pen stick also tapped on her tiger mouth.
She said: "The Kui family and the Pan family cooperate, and they naturally have to know each other better, if Pan Xi's whereabouts are Xi Chudui who was secretly told by the Kui family?" β
She only said this, and Xiao Di's face changed instantly.
After a while, he said in a low voice: "The ministers of the Zhou State, anyone can rebel, but the Xi family is impossible." β
In this regard, Pei Yaowei has no objection.
She bowed her head and said, "Yes, it is impossible for the Xi family." Therefore, if it is really Xi Chudui who told Pan Xi's whereabouts to the Kui family, then the Kui family will not rebel. β
"Why?" He said: "Pan is insignificant, why did he get into the eyes of the people of Zhou? β
This time, Pei Yao pondered for a long time.
She was thinking about someoneβa person she had fought several times, winning or losing.
Yuwen Zhijun.
She asked Xiao Di: "Do you know Yuwen Zhijun?" β
Xiao Di's expression moved slightly, and without waiting for him to answer, Pei Yaowei slowly exhaled a breath, and then said: "With my understanding of Princess Zhen'an, I am afraid that everything in front of me is a serial plan." β
Her words were so rich in content that Xiao Di didn't even know which point to focus on first.
After a moment, he still asked, "How to connect?" β
"A plan to tire the enemy, a plan to attack the enemy, so that he is tired, in order to kill his momentum." She said, walked back to the front of Yutu, and said with her eyebrows: "The so-called anti-Zhou of the Kui clan and the so-called group with the Pan clan, if it is just to make the Pan clan think that they have a support, they can send troops to rebel without any consideration?" β
"As soon as the Pan family rebels, Daliang will definitely send troops to quell the rebellion in court, and in the end, no matter what the result is, it will be Daliang's troops that will be damaged - this is a tired enemy." She looked back at Xiao Di: "When the morale of the Great Liang is weakened, Zhou Guo will find another reason and take the opportunity to send troops to attack the enemy...... You say, how should this battle be fought? Which side will prevail? β
"As for Xi Chudu's finding of Pan Xuan...... I think, most of the time, the Pan family still had doubts about the Kui family, and the alliance was undecided, Yuwen Zhijun designed such a game, once the Kui family pinched the handle of the Pan family secretly communicated with the Xi family, questioned the sincerity of its cooperation, and threatened to break up, then Pan Xian's head, under the fear, probably can't take care of the Kui family anymore. β
Xiao Di stared at the map, was silent for a long time, and said: "Your speculation seems to make sense of everything that cannot be explained. β
He asked, "But is this just your assumption?" β
