Chapter 125: Either an ally or an enemy

readx;

Although it was a rapid march all the way, it was only a month and a half before Buchen returned to Zhenxi Fucheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, the envoys of the Qu family, Qu Shouyi and Qu Zhixiong, had been waiting for him in the post house in Zhenxi Mansion City for seven or eight days.

Buchen called You Chengzong, who was specifically responsible for receiving the envoys of the Qu family, to his mansion, and before he could sit down, he asked in a hurry: "What does the Qu family mean?" Do you want to make an alliance with us? ”

You Chengzong has a very good relationship with Qu Shouyi, and he has already figured out the Qu family's hole cards by using the time before Buchen came back: "Nochen, they don't want to make a clear contract with us, but want to sign a secret contract!" ”

"Signing a secret contract?" Buchen frowned, "Old You, what do you say they are doing this?" ”

You Chengzong smiled bitterly, and was a little helpless at Buchen's unexplained expression: "Nochen, they don't have plans, but they have scruples!" ”

"Scruples? What scruples? Buchen couldn't figure it out, "As long as they agree to form an alliance with us, won't they be able to go sideways in the four towns of Wushan?" Who else can threaten them? ”

You Chengzong shook his head and said with a bitter face: "No, why don't you understand?" What they are afraid of offending the gentry of the world! ”

"The gentry of the world?" Buchen thought about it deeply, and he understood in an instant.

"The thinking of the Qu family is relatively old, thinking that we have taken back the privileges of the gentry and punished their crimes, which has offended and hated the gentry of the world, and is destined to become a big thing, so we will push back the alliance!" You Chengzong explained.

Buchen couldn't help but be angry and funny: "Without the support of the gentry and landlords, you can't achieve great things?" Says who? It's just inexplicable! Also, it's not like I don't give the priests a way to live, do I? Did the government I did go to the countryside and employ a large number of original priests as officials? ”

"No!" You Chengzong sighed: "You say in your conscience, those ritual priests who have been reformed by you, are they still ritual priests?" ”

Buchen shrugged his shoulders, if he really wanted to speak with his conscience, of course those ceremonial priests who had been reformed by him could no longer be regarded as ceremonial priests, and the current state of those people was that fanatical nationalists and militarists were almost the same! You must know that before entering the virtual world for internship, he used the melting pot of the army to brainwash them!

But does it matter whether or not it is a true priest? Not necessarily? Buchen knows the nature of the people in the Rite Sect very well, and knows that as long as there are officials to do it, even if it is to shout long live to a beast emperor, they will definitely do it!

"I'm afraid the real problem is in the hiring process, right?" Buchen thought about it and said, "There was not a so-called 'celebrity' among the civil servants hired at the beginning, they were all from small families, and they didn't let those gentlemen taste the sweetness at all, right?" ”

"That's how it should be!" Lao You nodded in agreement, and then he asked for instructions: "Then do you want to correct this problem in the future hiring process?" ”

"Of course......," Buchen grinned, "no!" ”

"Why?!" You Chengzong asked in surprise.

"Isn't that easy?" Buchen rolled his eyes, "I don't think they like it!" ”

"Can that be used as a reason?" You Chengzong wiped the sweat from his head.

"Okay, okay, don't bother with those gentry anymore, anyway, we confiscate their privileges and turn them into enemies, in that case, let them continue to hate us! I've never been used to anyone's temper! Buchen said with a big grin.

Lao You smiled helplessly, although he didn't agree with Buchen's approach, but since everyone in charge had made it clear that he didn't plan to change his decision, he naturally didn't have to touch the unsubordinate for those irrelevant gentlemen!

"You go and tell Qu Shouyi to make an alliance with that Qu Zhixiong, but it must be an open contract, and we will never accept a secret agreement or something!" Buchen said categorically.

"Why is that?" You Chengzong found that he couldn't guess what Buchen was thinking anymore, "As long as there is a covenant, is it important whether it is light or dark?" ”

"Lao You! After all, you are a martial artist, so it's not surprising that you can't see through the twists and turns in between! Buchen waved his hand and patiently explained, "Whether the covenant is open or dark is indeed very important to us!" If it is a clear covenant, the Qu family will have to take care of their reputation in the hearts of the world if they want to break the alliance, but if it is a secret covenant, they will not have any psychological burden when they tear it up, because except for us and them, everyone in this world does not know the existence of this covenant! ”

"So, the Qu family's heart for forming an alliance is not sincere at all?!" You Chengzong is not a fool, just thinking about it a little, he found the biggest problem!

"Indeed!" Buchen's gaze became very cold for a moment, "They are just afraid of our force, and they plan to perfunctory us with a secret contract!" ”

"Qu Yongchen, this guy is really not a son of man!" You Chengzong scolded angrily.

Buchen smiled, in fact, from the first time they met, he knew what kind of person this King Weiyuan was, not to mention the bad temperance, he was still very timid, and he didn't even dare to get rid of the imperial history who had been against him by himself, and he had to pay the price, fake his Xiao someone's hand! With this person as a neighbor, I'm afraid I'll have to open half of my eyes when I sleep! However, considering the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, he is not good at doing anything to the Qu family, which is really helpless!

"Then no, if we don't sign a secret agreement with the Qu family, how will we deal with the relationship with the Qu family in the future?" Scolding and scolding, You Chengzong was still unambiguous, and immediately frowned and asked, "We can't send troops to attack because they don't sign a contract, right?" ”

"It's not okay to really do it!" Buchen sneered, "But Qu Yongchen is a person who is very inward-looking, and he is very timid, if we come to the city and scare him, maybe he will change his mind at that time!" ”

"Forcing him to sign the alliance under the city?!" You Chengzong immediately deciphered his true intentions from Cong Buchen's words.

"That's it." Buchen picked up the teacup on the table next to him and took a sip.

"What if you can't be scared?" You Chengzong then asked another question.

He didn't want to spit out the tea, he rolled his eyes and said, "What else?" Retire! ”

"Is that okay?" You Chengzong is still a little unconfident.

"Lao You, who do you say is the most resourceful under Qu Yongchen?" Buchen suddenly asked an inexplicable question.

Although he didn't know what Buchen was planning, You Chengzong still thought about it carefully and replied honestly: "Qu Shouyi's martial arts may be the first, but if it is compared with strategy and overall situation, Qu Zhixiong is the best!" ”

"Then detain this Qu Zhixiong!" He waved his hand.

"No, what are you?" You Chengzong stared at Buchen inexplicably.

Buchen smiled and explained: "The old thief is indecisive, if you want to make the right decision, you have to be a wise man to guide you, if I detain his wise man, he is afraid that he will be at the mercy of us, right?" ”

"I see!" You Chengzong was convinced.

"Let's go back with this goods! Let him tell Qu Yongchen the old thief that in a month, I will raise 100,000 troops to visit Weiyuan Wangcheng! Buchen said with a wicked smile.

……

The next day, the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city of Zhenxi Mansion.

"You Jiaotou, this can't be helped! At present, the beasts are raging, the east country is not protected, you and I are the strength of the east country, not only did not work together to resist foreign enemies, but fought in the same room, this is not to make the relatives painful, let the enemies be happy? ! ”

Qu Shouyi was about to cry, early in the morning You Chengzong rushed into the post station with a team of army soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, and took Qu Zhixiong away without saying anything, drove him and other mission personnel out of the city, and asked him to send a message to King Weiyuan, saying that he would bring 100,000 troops to visit in a month, which is simply foolish! Did you come to visit someone with an army of 100,000? What idea is Buchen playing, it is simply Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it!

"Brother Shouyi, this is what my lord meant, I'm just responsible for executing orders, it's useless for you to tell me this!" You Chengzong said expressionlessly.

"Then please talk to Buchen Gong again, as long as he agrees not to raise soldiers, we can return the original artillery you brought last time!" Qu Shouyi hurriedly said.

You Chengzong sighed: "Brother Shouyi, why don't you understand? As long as you don't sign a covenant with my father-in-law in black and white, so that everyone in the world knows, he will not give up! ”

"You Jiaotou, you know it's impossible!" Qu Shouyi stared at You Chengzong with red eyes.

"Then, Brother Shouyi, please go back and prepare for battle now!" You Chengzong said coldly.
