"Gu ...... Gu Fu?" Wei Tian was taken aback, looked at Tang Wanyun blankly, and didn't come back to his senses for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tang Wanyun raised her eyebrows and asked softly, "Is there a problem?"

"I didn't ...... No, genus ...... "After receiving this order, Wei Tian's heart also raised his throat, killing the whole family of the Gu Mansion, of course, this is not the purpose of the county lord, what the county lord really wants is Gu Qingling's life.

Don't look at Tang Wanyun's words in front of Shangguan Xiu, she can tolerate Gu Qingling as his concubine, but that's just talking, and it's also to appease Shangguan Xiu, in fact, as the lord of a country, how can she tolerate other women sharing the same man with her?

Especially when she saw Shangguan Xiu vacillating between herself and Gu Qingling, her killing intent was even more resolute.

The next day, Tang Wanyun left Xijing and went back to Shangjing, she left in the morning, and at noon, Suba, the patriarch of the Ba tribe, came to Xijing with Gu Ji and Qing'er. For Suba's visit, Shangguan Xiu entertained the guests.

When the Zhenjun army was defeated from Ningnan and returned to Zhenjun, it passed through Shah and was surrounded and intercepted by the major tribes of Shah, with heavy casualties, and among the Shah's big clans, the only one who did not shoot at the Zhenjun army was the Ba people, and for this alone, Shangguanxiu had respect for Suba.

After inviting Suba Gu Qing'er and others into the hall of the county governor's mansion, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Shangguan Xiu said to Suba with a smile: "Actually, it was supposed to be me who went to visit the Suba patriarch, but now it is the Suba patriarch who has come to visit me, which makes me and my brothers very unhappy!" Note: You can watch the latest chapter with character anti-filtering

Suba waved his hand haughtily and said, "Lord Shangguan's words are wrong, you and I have a brotherly alliance, we are both a family, regardless of each other, who is going to visit whom, why should we be so clear?"

Shangguan Xiu stroked his palms and smiled, and said, "What Patriarch Suba said is very true. ”

After some greetings, Suba first cut to the chase and said, "This time I came to Xijing mainly to discuss important matters with Lord Shangguan. ”

"Oh, what's the big deal?"

"The Shah tribes, each in their own country, are not only often at odds with each other, but always wavering. Take this incident as an example, when the Shah clan visited the county lord of the Wind Country, they had already expressed their attitude that they would not join forces with Ningnan and be enemies of the Wind Country, but in the end, the various tribes still fell to Ningnan's side, and even did not hesitate to help Ningnan to form a coalition army and attack the Wind Country on a large scale. It is really unwise to lose the trust of others in such a repetition of the matter of national policy!" Suba said meaningfully.

Shangguan Xiu's eyes flickered, nodded slightly, and said, "That's indeed the truth. ”

Suba Zhengse said: "The Shah tribe, the reason why it is so capricious, is because of the fragmentation, to put it bluntly, the Shah is not a unified country, the big clan oppresses the small clan, and the big clan is intrigued, the interests are not unified, if one clan can stand up, unify the Shah tribes, and turn the Shah into a veritable country, in the future, Shah's decision-making will no longer be so vacillating." ”

When Shangguan Xiu heard this, he immediately understood Suba's intentions, he smiled slightly, and said, "If Shah becomes a unified country and completely falls to the side of Ningnan, won't it be even more disadvantageous to my Feng Country?"

Suba immediately answered: "Therefore, Lord Shangguan should support a clan that is friendly with him and help it unify all the Shah tribes, so that the whole Shah will fall to the side of Lord Shangguan." Inside the Wind Country, Shah can become the most solid backing for Lord Shangguan, and for Ningnan, Shah can become a buffer zone, killing multiple birds with one stone!"

This proposal is not bad! Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong, An Yifu, Hu Chong, and others present nodded one after another, indicating that Suba's words were very reasonable. Shangguan Xiu smiled but didn't say a word, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea slowly.

He was taking the opportunity of drinking tea to carefully consider whether the benefits of making Shah a unified country would outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages.

Although Shah is divided and has its own policies, although it is capricious and its policies are vacillating, the various tribes are also holding each other back, and it is difficult to make great achievements.

Shah unified, then the situation is different, the tribes are merged into one place, forming a whole, that is a force to be reckoned with, if you are willing to stand on your side, it will indeed form a huge support for your side, but what if you stand on the side of Ningnan?

Seeing that he was just drinking tea and not speaking, Suba was a little breathless, he stood up, licked his lips, and said in a loud voice: "This big clan that can dominate the Shah is none other than my Ba clan. I don't dare to say that the Ba tribe is now the strongest tribe in Shah, but at least it can be ranked in the top three, as long as Lord Shangguan is willing to send troops to help me, I am confident that within half a year, all the tribes in Shah who dare to resist the Ba tribe will be wiped out. ”

It seems that Suba is no longer willing to be the patriarch of the Ba tribe, but wants to be the king of the Shah country. Shangguan Xiu stroked the tea leaves with the lid of the cup, gently blew the tea powder, and took a slow sip of tea, still silent.

Suba looked at him blankly, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Could it be that Lord Shangguan is still not at ease with me Suba? Do you think that my Ba people will be enemies of Lord Shangguan after they unify Shah?"

Shangguan Xiu smiled, let go of the teacup in his hand, and said: "Patriarch Suba misunderstood, I admire Patriarch Suba's way of doing what he says, but it's just ......"

"It's just what? Lord Shangguan is in trouble?"

Dongzhe's eyes rolled, and he continued: "Patriarch Suba, you can also understand the difficulties of our army. In the first battle of Ningnan, our army lost 200,000 soldiers, and now its vitality is greatly damaged, and it will take a long time to recuperate and regain its former combat strength. After a pause, he continued: "What's more, the Ningnan army is still eyeing our Zhen County, once our army aids the Ba people, even if we help the Ba people win the battle in the end, our army's own casualties will not be small, at that time, the Ningnan army will take the opportunity to attack, won't my Zhen County suffer a catastrophe?"

Some words, Shangguan Xiu is embarrassed by feelings, and it is not easy to speak, and from his subordinates, there is no need to have so many concerns, through this, you can see Dongzhe's cleverness, he has not followed Shangguan Xiu for a long time, but he has a very thorough understanding of Shangguan Xiu's thoughts, which is his cleverness.

After speaking, he glanced at Shangguan Xiu without leaving a trace, and the latter picked up the teacup again, cocked Erlang's legs, and seemed to drink tea leisurely. His performance is tantamount to clearly telling Dongzhe that he is not unhappy because of his interjection, but is very pleased with his timely answer.

After hearing this, Suba's face turned straight, patted his chest and promised: "If Lord Shangguan is concerned about this, you can rest assured, if the Ningnan army really dares to send troops to Zhenjun, I, Suba, will definitely go all out to organize the Shah army and fight to the death with the Ningnan people!"

Shangguan Xiu reminded slowly: "Ningnan's artillery fire, sweeping the sky, no one is invincible, head-to-head, our Feng army is not its opponent, the Suba patriarch thinks, can the Shah army defeat the Ningnan people?"

"This ......"

Dong Zhe's mind turned sharply, and he asked tentatively: "If our army can build a fortress in the territory of Shah and station troops in it, even if the Ningnan army fights, our army can stop the enemy army in the fortress for some time, and buy enough time for our army's rear to make pre-battle preparations." ”

By stationing troops in the territory of Shah, you can defend against the enemy army outside the country, keep the battlefield away from Zhenjun itself, and also deter the Shah people, so that they will no longer dare to be grass on the wall and waver, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. I admired Dongzhe's cleverness in my heart, Shangguan Xiu didn't show anything on the surface, and pretended to think about it seriously, and muttered: "In this way, it's also a way, but it's just that building a fortress in Shah and stationing troops in it, I'm afraid that I won't be able to explain it to the Suba patriarch, right?!"

He said this to Dongzhe, but it was for Suba.

Now Suba is only thinking about unifying Shah and sitting on the throne of the king of a country, where can he care about whether the Zhenjun army is stationed in Shah?

His eyes lit up, and he said urgently: "As long as Lord Shangguan helps me to unify Shah, in the future, no matter how many fortresses and how many soldiers Shangguan's Zhenjun army wants to build in Shah's territory, how many soldiers will be hoarded, I Suba will not be asked with the guarantee of personality." ”

When a country builds a fortress and garrisons in another country, it is tantamount to exercising control over that country. Suba's acceptance of this condition is tantamount to signing a treaty that humiliates the country. However, it can also be seen from this that Suba really wants to sit on the throne of the king.

Shangguan Xiu stopped talking again, and only glanced at Dong Zhe lightly. The latter immediately understood, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "The strength of my Zhenjun army is limited, even if the Suba patriarch is willing to let my Zhenjun army be stationed in the territory of Shah, we will not do it!"

Suba laughed and said: "I just show my attitude, but also to show my sincerity, as long as my Ba people unify Shah, the brothers of the Zhenjun army, they can be stationed in Shah as much as they want, and all the brothers of the Zhenjun army stationed in Shah can be provided by me Shah." ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhe was secretly grinning, Suba's bet was big enough, and he even proposed such an unreasonable condition by himself. He hurriedly turned his head to look at Shangguan Xiu, there was really no reason for him not to accept such generous conditions.

Shangguan Xiu laughed and said: "My Zhenjun army and the Ba clan are brothers' states, when my Zhenjun army was in trouble, the Suba patriarch helped me with all his might, and now the Suba patriarch begged for my head, how can I sit idly by? When my Zhenjun army recovers, it will be the day when the subba patriarch will be sent to help the Suba patriarch unify Shah!"

Suba's face trembled with excitement, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Is what Lord Shangguan said true?"

"If the Suba patriarch doesn't believe me, we can sign an entente. Seeing Suba waving his hand again and again with shame on his face, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, Shangguan Xiu smiled again: "It is better to be cautious in the affairs of the country, and it is too informal to rely only on the verbal gentleman's agreement." ”
