Xiao Heng and Weber chatted in the palace until the evening, and then let Weber out of the palace.

On the second day, a decree came from the palace. You Hengzhi waited for the Huainan army at Jingkou, and recruited the Huainan army that was stationed in Huiji.

At this moment, the crown prince Xiao Ju was walking in the garden with Xiao Heng, and Xiao Ju said to Xiao Heng: "Father, at this moment, the Huainan Army stationed in Huiji is recruited, what if the Linhai County Guard takes the opportunity to attack?" ”

Xiao Heng looked at the few fish in the pond that were still jubilant, and said: "Ju'er, the southern scholar clan has always been a big trouble for me, especially in the land of Sanwu, if something happens, it will be between the elbows and armpits. Although the rebellion against the Sun Thief took the opportunity to suppress some of the scholars, it was far from enough. ”

Xiao Heng said as he walked: "I transferred the Huainan soldiers this time, on the one hand, to appease the military heart after the loss of Hefei, they miss their families the most, I preemptively released the word that I am willing to exchange the land of Huainan for the families of the Huainan soldiers, but also to avoid the Northern Dynasty agitating the army." The second is to transfer the troops of Huainan and make the Xie family the county guard of Huiji again, and it is also to see if the scholars of Huiji County will collude with Linhai County. ”

Xiao Ju kept digesting Xiao Heng's words, and kept thinking in his heart, could it be that these are all what Weber said after entering the palace yesterday?

"Father, are these all the suggestions that Mr. Wei gave yesterday?"

"Exactly, first Fu Nei, in Dingwai, the weak clan, and gather imperial power. This is the twelve-character dialect that Mr. Wei gave yesterday, Ju'er, you should keep it in mind. ”

Within two days, all the Huainan troops had arrived at Jingkou.

Hengzhi and Xiao Ju have been waiting outside Jingkou City for a long time.

Yangkan ordered the whole army to camp along the river outside Jingkou. At this time, the Huainan army already knew that Hefei City had been lost, and they all wept bitterly. For a while, the sound of crying resounded through the entrance of Beijing.

After Xiao Ju and Hengzhi glanced at each other, Xiao Ju said to the generals in the camp: "Now Hefei has been presented to the Northern Dynasty by Li Shunzhi, and General Chen Lao died on the spot. His Majesty now decides. ”

There was a sudden silence in the camp tent, looking at the generals with different expressions below, Xiao Ju said slowly: "Your Majesty has decided to negotiate peace with the Northern Dynasty and exchange the remaining Huainan land for the families of the soldiers in the army. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals changed color, and Yangkan said in a hurry: "No, if you give up the remaining Huainan land, the Yangtze River will be in no danger to defend." ”

Most of the rest of the generals were also indignant and expressed their willingness to lead their troops to kill fatten.

"You are stationed in Hefei all the year round, and Hefei City is as solid as a rock, and everyone knows better than me." Hengzhi interrupted the discussion of the soldiers: "Now that the New Year is approaching, you soldiers have been homesick for a long time. The sound of crying outside the tent was endless. ”

Xiao Ju waved his hand weakly at this time: "All the generals should return to the camp and bring the will of the imperial court to the soldiers of each battalion." His Majesty has decided to discuss relevant matters with Beiqin in Xiaoxian. ”

Xiao Ju and the others sat quietly in the tent, looking at each other, all speechless.

Yang Kan looked at Xiao Ju blankly, with tears in his eyes: "How could the prince be like this." ”

Xiao Ru couldn't bear it, so he got up and walked out of the tent, and as soon as he came out of the tent, he saw the Huainan army kneeling on the ground and crying, Xiao Ju said: "Why are you crying." ”

At this time, a pawn knelt on the ground and said: "I miss my wife and children in the city as one, and let the court cut the land for our family and ask for peace for two." As a soldier, you can't open up territory, but give people a handle. How can you not cry. ”

Xiao Ju couldn't help but shed tears after hearing this.

Wei Ran couldn't worry about the situation, so he rushed to Jingkou, and just happened to see Xiao Ju crying bitterly there.

Wei Ran rushed into the camp on horseback, and then raised his spear: "I still admit that I am a big Qi man, just stand up and don't cry!" ”

When all the soldiers heard this, they got up one after another, but they still couldn't stop crying.

Wei Ran roared: "All look at Jiangbei, today Your Majesty gave up the territory of Huainan, just to let everyone know that my Daqi is not only a country, but also your home, today's shame, everyone still remembers, one day." We not only want to return to the homeland of Huainan, but also to return to the north, and let Northern Qin know the pain of everyone today! ”

The soldiers were immediately furious, and the voice of revenge was even worse than the previous cry.

In the winter of the twenty-second year of the opening of the Great Qi Emperor

The Southern Qi and Northern Qin formally signed a treaty

The Southern Qi ceded all of Huainan's remaining territory to the Northern Qin, who opened the city of Hefei for three days, allowing the people of the Southern Qi to go south freely and freeing all the captives. All the materials in the captured army of the Southern Qi, including war horses, weapons, and armor, were all owned by the Northern Qin.

It is known as the Covenant of Fertilizer and Water.

The Southern Qi army carried hundreds of thousands of people across the river to the south.

Looking at the homeland of Huainan from afar, everyone wept, but what was more profound than it was the unforgettable hatred of the Huainan Army of Southern Qi for Northern Qin.

Northern Qin won an unprecedented victory, but it was indeed a greater power struggle head-on.

After all the lands of the two Huai were owned by Qin, Yuan Shan and Min Guan did not give in to each other for the candidates for the head of the two Huai.

Yuan Shan insisted on recommending Yuwen Zhi as the head of Lianghuai, Min Guan still insisted on appointing Li Ke, and the two sides fought openly and secretly above the court.

Emperor Qin Yuanzhi could not do anything about this, and under the multi-party game, Li Ke finally served as the chief of the two Huai and was directly responsible for the military and political affairs of the two Huai.

But the rift between Min Guan and Yuan Shan is indeed intensifying.

When it comes to the Spring Festival, the Guangling County Mansion is not as lively as other mansions.

This is Wei Ran's first Spring Festival in the south, and Li Yuwan personally cooked and made a table of delicacies with a northern flavor.

"First of all, congratulations to my son on being named General Longxiang." Li Yuwan raised her glass and said, then took a sip, since the last serious illness, Li Yuwan has rarely drunk alcohol.

Yuan Shu and Miaoxiang sat on both sides of Wei Ran, and Li Yuwan smiled and said, "Ran'er, after the Shangyuan Festival, you will also be weak." When the time comes, you can include Miss Li and Miss Chen into the mansion first. ”

As soon as these words came out, the two women's faces were slightly red. Wei Ran said: "I just lost all the land of Huainan not long ago, and now everyone is mourning, whether this time period is inappropriate, wait a minute." ”

Li Yuwan thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the same reason, and then sighed: "Hey, mother really doesn't want you to get involved in disputes, it's better to be a rich man." ”

Li Yuwan saw that Wei Ran obviously didn't like this topic, so she joked: "In previous years, during the Spring Festival, Weber always got drunk. This year, for some reason, I was invited by His Majesty to the palace for the New Year. ”

Thinking of this, Wei Ran couldn't help but say: "Since the last time Weber entered the palace, the whole person seems to be different. I pay a lot of attention to the affairs of the court and the military, and often guide the children. ”

Wei Ran then looked at Yuan Shu and saw a trace of sorrow between Yuan Shu's eyebrows, so he asked softly, "But homesick?" "The home that Wei Ran said naturally refers to Chang'an in Northern Qin.

But Yuan Shu shook his head and said: "This is my home, but thinking of the current situation, I am afraid that the future will be dangerous, so I am a little worried." ”

After listening to what Yuan Shu said, Wei Ran also felt that it was necessary to give the two girls a name to appease the hearts of the two, so he said to Li Yuwan: "After the spring next year, the children will lead the army to recruit Linhai County." When he is done, he will come back and get married. ”

Hearing the word "marriage", Yuan Shu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and Miaoxiang was also sweet in her heart.

At this time, in Taicheng, Xiao Heng was playing against Weber.

"Your Majesty, you have lost again." Seeing Xiao Heng's indecisiveness, Weber said with a smile.

"yes, I've lost again." Xiao Heng simply put down the chess pieces, and then said with a smile: "Today, the King of Taiyuan has been delayed in the mansion for the New Year."

Weber shook his head and said: "I understand Your Majesty's loneliness, as a monarch, while gaining the world, he also gained loneliness. ”

"Recruiting the King of Taiyuan into the palace today is not just to accompany me to dinner, but there is one thing that needs to be bothered by Mr. Lao." Xiao Heng took away the chessboard, and then looked at Weber,

"I don't know what Your Majesty said?"

"The prince of Guangling County has a weak crown, and I intend to marry Yanran to the prince of Guangling County, but I heard that the county prince has received two beauties, so I am very hesitant, Hengxuan, the son of Hengzhi, also loves Yanran, and I have also heard a little about the past of the king of Taiyuan."

Hearing this, Weber said: "Your Majesty should not mention the past of the grass people. ”

"Haha, it turns out that she is really your weakness." At this time, Xiao Heng suddenly laughed, where is there still the appearance of the king of a country. After laughing, Xiao Heng suddenly said, "I just want to ask you, what do you think if you marry your young master?" ”

Webber pondered for a moment and said, "The grass people can convince my housewife that Princess Yanran must be the wife of the son." Your Majesty has nothing to worry about. ”

"This is very good, after the beginning of spring, the county prince will lead the army to conquer Linhai County, and before that, I will give marriage to the county prince."
