CHAPTER IX

On this day, a messenger came to the city of Beicheng, not the envoy of the Guanhun State, but an envoy of a small country adjacent to the Guanhu State and bordering the Egret Plain.

Huang Pu received Du Yan in the City Lord's Mansion, and after retreating left and right at Du Yan's request, he asked Du Yan straight to the point: "What is the matter with Brother Du here?"

Du Yan said: "Qianshui Kingdom is willing to act as an intermediary and make peace with Qin for Guanhun State. ”

Huang Pu said: "What is the matter with Guan Qianshui Country at this time? Why do you want to come to this troubled water?"

Du Yan said: "Don't dare to deceive the marshal, my Qianshui Country is a subsidiary of Guan Hun, and I am here to be ordered by Guan Hun." ”

Huang Pu frowned, and said, "Guan Hun asked for peace, does Brother Du think the emperor will believe it?"

Du Yan said: "Don't be impatient, and listen to me." ”

Huang Pu said: "Please speak." ”

Du Yan sat slightly upright and said, " The marshal must feel that the Qin State is inferior to the Guanhun and the inferiority, and there are many doubts about the initiative to seek peace with the Guanhun and the Huns, but the fact is that the Guanhun is far less powerful than it seems on the surface, and its national strength is not false, but it is also a fact that he has a lot of enemies, although it is not as good as the Guanhun in the east, Duanhe in the west, and the Black Moon in the north, although the three kingdoms are not as good as the Guanhun and the Hun are eyeing the enemy all the year round, so that the Guanhun belly and back are subject to the enemy, which is no hindrance, but it is just out of the Qin State, containing the millions of military horses in the Guanhun At this time, Zhengmu, Duanhe, and the Black Moon have joined forces to launch an attack on the Guanhun 。 In this way, the marshal can understand why Guan Hun sent my Qianshui Kingdom to sue for peace. ”

Huang Pu groaned for a while, and said slowly: "I understand, I don't understand." ”

Du Yan asked, "What do you not understand?"

Huang Pu said: "I don't understand why Guan Hun would conclude that our Qin State agreed to his request for peace? At this time, shouldn't my Qin State rise up, unite with the three kingdoms of Zhengmu, Duanhe, and Heiyue, and attack Guan Hun and make it enemy on all sides, isn't it more beneficial to my Qin State?"

Du Yan said with a smile: "If the big handsome really thinks like this, then Du will be very disappointed." ”

Huang Pu said: "Oh, why?"

Du Yan said: "Because if the marshal does not agree to reconcile, then Guan Hun will only leave hundreds of thousands of military horses to confront the general, and the rest will rush to the other three battlefields. Does the marshal think so?"

Huang Pu was noncommittal, and said, "And then?"

Du Yan said with a smile: "Then Guan Hun only needs to wait until the end of the transition period of the Qin State, and then he can use his strong national strength to coerce and lure the countries around the Qin State, and at that time, who will be the enemy on all sides?"

Huang Pu Wan'er smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, go on." ”

Du Yan said: "As long as the marshal retreats at this time and returns the nine mountains and a line of heaven, then the Hungarian State will promise that if he is not to blame for this matter in the past and will never take the initiative to start a war against the Qin State, what does the marshal think?"

Huang Pu said: "Brother Du thinks that the promise of this thing can be as binding?"

Du Yan said: "What does the big handsome think?"

Huang Pu smiled: "I want the 30,000 miles of wilderness of the Egret Plain, it's not too much." ”

Du Yan's gaze froze, he took a deep breath, and said, "The handsome man has such a big breath, such a big appetite, and such a big ambition." ”

Huang Pu said: "Why do you say that?"

Du Yan said: "Why do you want to ask knowingly? These 30,000 miles of Egret Plain seem to be a barren place, but there are two moats in the south and north, there are nine mountains in the north, and there is Yijiang in the south. ”

Huang Pu smiled slightly, noncommittal, and did not answer.

Du Yan took a deep breath again and continued: "If this is the case, as long as the Qin State gets this Egret Plain, it is equivalent to connecting the Qin Kingdom, the Spirit Kingdom, and the Demon Kingdom into one, and they can help each other and communicate with each other. ”

Huang Pu smiled and said, "Since Brother Du has guessed the mystery, does Brother Du still think that the emperor will agree to Guan Hun's request for reconciliation?"

Du Yan took another deep breath, this breath may have been inhaled for a long time, so his cheeks were a little red, he groaned for a long time, stood up suddenly, stepped in front of Huang Pu, hugged his fists and bowed deeply, and said solemnly: "In this case, Du represents the country of Qianshui, and is willing to form an alliance with the Qin State and become an eternal ally, what does the marshal think?"

Du Yan's words suddenly changed, and Huang Pu was not surprised. Qianshui Country is a small subordinate country of the Hungarian State, which needs to be worshiped every year, and pays tribute every year, and the tired Qianshui Kingdom develops slowly and is humiliated, Huangpu is because he knows this, so he will reveal his purpose to this Du Yan, in order to tempt Du Yan.

And this Du Yan is also an understanding person, he knows that if Huangpu's goal is achieved, the Egret Plain really falls into the hands of the Qin State, then the Qin State can jump up, unite the Spirit Country and the Demon Country, and resist the Guanhun together, although the enterprising power is still insufficient, but there is more than enough self-preservation, if you add the Qianshui Country, it is the icing on the cake, like a tiger with wings, and the Qianshui Country can also get rid of the control of the Guanhun State.

It's a win-win, so it's a natural fit.

Huang Pu said: "In this way, my Qin State can't ask for it." ”

Du Yan said: "Then please ask the marshal to inform the contemptible people of the follow-up strategy, and the contemptible people will return to China immediately, and ask Your Majesty to send troops to attack the Huns together." ”

Huang Pu said: "The emperor has asked his senior brother and sister to send envoys to the demon country and the spirit country respectively, at this time the big thing has been completed, I will, after March, my three kingdoms will raise the strength of the whole country to attack Hungary together." At that time, please Qianshui Kingdom pretend to help the Hungarians, blend into the Hungarian army, wait for the battle, fight back, and win a big victory. What does Brother Du think?"

Du Yan hugged his fists and bowed deeply, and said: "Very good, in this case, Du will return to China and discuss this matter with His Majesty, how about just waiting for the Qin State to enter the army?"

Huang Pu said: "Great goodness." ”

Du Yan left, impatiently left, he left for a long time, Huang Pu has been sitting in the hall, happy, and finally couldn't help laughing, at this time, Fang Yong entered, and found that the perennial joy and anger of the handsome man was so happy at this time, so he asked puzzledly: "Dashuai, I don't know what makes Dashuai so happy?"

Huang Pu smiled: "Haha, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, the willows and flowers are bright and another village, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me, haha, there are thousands of water countries to help, this battle, this battle ......"

Seeing that Huang Pu suddenly stopped talking, and the joy in his expression suddenly disappeared, and the usual Gujing Wubo returned in an instant, Fang Yong was even more puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong with this battle?"

In Fang Yong's puzzlement, Huang Pu's eyes gradually became colder, and the air around him gradually became colder, and Fang Yong, who was cold, as an eight-star battle master, couldn't help but shudder.

Suddenly, Huang Pu stood up abruptly and said in a cold voice: "Kong Xingjia bullied me, Kong Xingjia bullied me, Fang Yong, go, go and hunt down Du Yan, you must not let him go back alive." ”

Fang Yong was stunned, the two countries were at war, and they didn't kill them, and didn't the marshal talk to Du Yan very happily, why did he go to hunt him down at this time, just when Fang Yong was stunned, he suddenly heard Huang Pu shouting: "What are you doing in a daze, go quickly, Du Yan is not dead, and you don't want to come back." ”

Fang Yong was frightened, immediately turned around, and left quickly, but before he left the city lord's mansion, he heard Huang Pu's loud shout: "Fang Yong, come back." ”

Fang Yong's surprise was even worse, such a change of order is not the style of the handsome, but the handsome life cannot be violated, so he can only walk back to the lobby quickly, and immediately asked after seeing Huangpu: "Dashuai, what's wrong?"

In this short period of time, Huang Pu's joy disappeared, his anger disappeared, and the backup disappeared, he looked at Fang Yong, who was anxious, and said with a gentle smile: "It's too late, you can't catch up with him, since you can't catch up, then don't chase him, let him go." ”

"Dashuai, what the hell is going on? Fang Yong asked anxiously.

Huang Pu was indifferent, and said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just that Ben Shuai fell for Kong Xingjia's plan and leaked all of our strategic plans." ”

When Fang Yong heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he said incredulously: "How is that good?"

Huang Pu said: "It's okay, you can step back, remember, don't try to chase Du Yan, and don't tell the third person about this matter, for this matter, Ben Shuai has his own strategy." ”

Fang Yong bowed down and retreated, and Huang Pu was once again the only one left in the lobby.

Huang Pu poured himself a cup of tea, sipped it gently, tasted it carefully, took a deep breath for a long time, and said to himself: "Kong Xingjia is a good plan, Du Yan is so courageous, in the name of a thousand water countries, I am guarded, I am trusted by Guangming, I am tempted to be greedy with my urgent needs, and my greed is taken from my intentions, interlocking, not leaking, if you don't ignore a little, the emperor is really deceived by you." Maybe you don't realize it yourself, the world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, you are too light on profit, close to my Huangpu family's words, who dares to take such a big risk to fight that unknown future, this is your only loophole, fortunately, the emperor has been aware, you want to get your wish, hehe. ”

..........................................

Du Yan really didn't return to Qianshui Country, and after going out of Beicheng, after confirming that no one was following him, he sneered and entered the Guanhun military camp, and soon saw Kong Xingjia.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, after Kong Xingjiaping retreated left and right, he couldn't wait to ask Du Yan: "Brother Du, how is it?"

Du Yan said with a smile: "Big things can be done. Sure enough, as the marshal expected, Huangpu really wanted the Egret Plain, and the Qin State did unite the Demon Kingdom and the Spirit Kingdom, and they agreed to raise the power of the Three Kingdoms to attack the Dashuai after three months. ”

Kong Xingjia said: "Huang Pu can agree to Brother Du's invitation to the alliance?"

Du Yan said: "Haha, agreed, he asked me to lead troops from Qianshui Country to pretend to help Guan Hun and fight back when the war started, and attack Guan Hun on all sides, with sinister intentions." ”

Kong Xingjia asked again: "So, what does Brother Du think is the chance that Huang Pu is convinced of?"

Du Yan said with a smile: "Du deliberately delayed some time on the road, just to see if Huang Pu could react, but the result was that Du did not see any pursuers, so it can be seen that the probability of Huang Pu taking the bait is at least eighty percent." ”

Hearing this, Kong Xingjia finally put his heart at ease and said with relief: "Very good, after March, this battle will end, Brother Du rest assured, when this is defeated, Kong will definitely ask His Majesty the Emperor of our country to form an alliance with Qianshui Yong from now on, and will send troops to help Qianshui attack the demon country." ”

Du Yan smiled: "Dashan, thank you Dashuai." So the marshal thinks that in this battle, how many troops should my Qianshui Country send is appropriate?"

Kong Xingjia pondered for a while and said: "Kong thinks that 500,000 troops are the best, and if there is less, it will not play a decisive role, and if there is more, he is afraid that the emperor will be suspicious, what does Brother Du think?"

Du Yan said: "Okay." Du returned to China and straightened out the military horses. ”

Du Yan left, after Kong Xingjia sat down on the desk, he also poured himself a cup of tea, sipped it gently, tasted it carefully, and said to himself for a long time: "Huangpu, although you are a genius in the sky, but, a wise man has a thousand thoughts, there will be a mistake, and you will definitely lose this battle." ”
