Just when Hu Hua was about to try his best to persuade Min Shiyuan to conquer the southern city of Heyang, a soldier suddenly rushed into the mansion.

Min Shiyuan seemed to be in a hurry, there must be something important, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, you are so panicked?" ”

The soldier looked at Hu Hua, and then said: "The Western Dynasty has sent an envoy, saying that the son of Sikong has been captured, and he wants to exchange the son of Sikong for the general of the Western Dynasty who was sent to Luoyang City a few days ago!" ”

When Hu Hua heard this, he immediately fell to the ground and exclaimed, "My son actually fell into the hands of the enemy? ”

Min Shiyuan didn't dare to slack off on this matter, but out of instinct, he still said sharply: "Is this true? ”

The soldier said, "I don't know what I do, but someone has brought a sword." ”

After speaking, he handed the sword to Min Shiyuan.

Min Shiyuan took the sword, looked at it carefully, and saw that this was not an ordinary product, and was about to speak.

At this time, Hu Hua snatched the sword, and then said in a panic: "This is indeed my son's saber Haoyue, the saber fell into the hands of the enemy, it seems that what the thief said is true." ”

At this time, Hu Hua looked at Min Shiyuan with a begging look, he knew that Min Shiyuan originally planned to kill Yuwen and Liwei, and it could also increase the morale of the whole army, but now it was very embarrassing to exchange the Western Qin generals for his son.

But Min Shiyuan didn't seem to be entangled, but just said to his subordinates: "If it is true at this time, this prince is willing to exchange Yuwen and General Hu, why is this matter difficult?" ”

Min Shiyuan said this not to comfort Hu Hua, but Hu Shao is the eldest son of Hu Hua, and he is very frustrated and appreciated, and he must be the pillar of the country and his right-hand man.

Secondly, there is a lack of good generals in his army, Hu Shao is so young, how can he be comparable to Yuwen.

When Hu Hua heard this, he was grateful, and he couldn't stop crying in pain, and he couldn't help but kowtow to Min Shiyuan to thank him.

Min Shiyuan hurriedly grabbed Hu Hua and said, "Duke Hu is both my father's best friend and my mentor, how can you worship me for this matter?" Besides, General Hu is my brother, and he must be saved. ”

Subsequently, Min Shiyuan ordered his subordinates to discuss the exchange of prisoners with Western Qin, saying that he was willing to exchange prisoners, but he must treat Hu Shao well.

After finishing everything, Min Shiyuan suddenly thought of Yuwen Ji who was locked in prison, and hurriedly called the general to ask: "Yuwen Ji of the Western Dynasty, can you suffer from skin and flesh in prison?" ”

The general said respectfully: "Back to the Duke of Jin, we did not abuse Yuwen Ji, but Yuwen often spoke rudely, insulting the Duke of Jin and His Majesty, and we only punished him slightly." ”

Min Shiyuan frowned when he heard this, he was afraid that he wouldn't break Yuwenhe, and added: "Since there is a pain in the flesh and skin, have you ever been disabled?" ”

When he heard the news that there was no news, Min Shiyuan breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's fine, you go and bring Yuwen Ji over." ”

After a short time, Yuwen Ji was taken to Min Shiyuan's mansion, and after Min Shiyuan checked left and right, he said: "Yuwen Ji, you and I were originally officials in the same dynasty, but now we are our own masters, and it is also the destiny of heaven. Fortunately, you have a great fate, and you will be able to return to the Western Dynasty in the near future. ”

Yuwen Ji originally thought that he was going to die, because he had been hearing the news in prison that Min Shiyuan was going to kill him to thank the world and inspire the three armies at the same time, but now he suddenly heard that he was going to be released, and he was immediately confused.

"Why did Min Gongzi suddenly change his mind, I heard that you planned to kill me to sacrifice the flag." At this time, Yuwen Ji knew that his life was worry-free, so he naturally let go, and slowly spoke after sitting down.

Min Shiyuan was suddenly quite embarrassed, it was really difficult to talk about Hu Shao's arrest, so he just made a sloppy look: "There is a reason for the incident, and you will naturally know about it one day." ”

Yuwen Ji didn't ask any more, and Min Shiyuan naturally couldn't throw him back into the cell, so he arranged a room for him in the backyard, where he was served with good food and drink, and sent someone to guard him strictly.

Min Shiyuan then summoned Shen Wenxiu and Hu Hua, and said to the two: "I have decided to personally conquer Wei Ran, but now the pioneer is a big problem. ”

Several generals who can fight in Eastern Qin, Hu Lu Mingyue and others are all in the direction of Puzhou, Tongguan, and Luoyang is now making Li Ke a guard.

But Min Shiyuan really didn't dare to let Li Ke serve as the striker, Li Ke and Wei Ran were mortal enemies, if Li Ke was sent forward, Wei Ran would definitely not retreat easily, but there were no unscrupulous generals in the court, and it was really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

At this time, Shen Wenxiu slowly spoke: "I have been in the barracks for a few days, and when I was chatting, I found a talent who was not only brave, but also knew how to strategize, but for some reason, now he is only a general in the army. ”

When Min Shiyuan heard this, he immediately asked, "Who is Lord Shen talking about?" ”

Shen Wenxiu immediately recommended: "This person's surname is Feng, his name is Bi, and his father is Feng Zheng, the former general of Dangkou, because there is no one to recommend him, although he has obtained a military position by virtue of his family's budding shade, he has not been deeply moved. ”

"Feng Bi?" Min Shiyuan thought about it carefully, and there were some reflections, and then he suddenly realized: "It's Feng Bi who killed his wife." ”

It turned out that Feng Bi's father Feng Zheng was originally a general of the Northern Qin Dangkou, and his wife was the daughter of the Cui family.

Feng Bi due to the early death of his father, most of the family affairs are decided by his wife, after all, the Cui family is becoming more and more famous in the court, but when the incident of Yuan Shan's murder of the monarch happened, Feng Bi planned to leave Chang'an and go to Minguan.

His wife was unwilling to follow Feng Bi, so Feng Bi wrote a letter of resignation, saying that the two would have nothing to do with each other in the future and would go their separate ways.

However, Cui Shi is obviously not an ordinary person, how can he suffer such humiliation, and in a fit of anger, he threatened Feng Bi to report the matter.

Feng Bi scolded angrily: "You stupid woman, in the past, Yuanshan plotted a mutiny, I held part of the forbidden army, I could have entered the palace to protect Your Majesty, you didn't let me go, now Your Majesty is dead, I want to defect to orthodoxy, if you don't go with me, you will harm me today." Although I don't have any skills, I also know that I can't be like this. ”

Seeing that Cui's did not listen to persuasion and insisted on doing so, Feng Bi killed Cui's in a fit of rage, escaped from Chang'an, and came to Yecheng.

At that time, for this kind of people who fled eastward, Min Guan retained them and rewarded them, but the news of Feng Bi's killing of his wife somehow spread to Yecheng, and the rumors became more and more intense.

Therefore, Feng Bi was affected by gossip and it was difficult to get promoted in the army, and in the final analysis, it was some Cui clansmen in Eastern Qin who were responsible for it.

At this time, Min Shiyuan couldn't care about this, and immediately called Feng Bi to see for himself whether this person was really a good general and had a strategy to break the enemy.

Not long after, Feng Bi, who had been recruited, came to the mansion and said: "Don't worry, the Duke of Jin can rest assured, the meaning of Southern Qi is Tongguan, and the prestige of Henan will have its own good strategy." ”
