Xiahou Zhuo poured Xi Wei a cup of tea.

"Since you have fallen in love with the third prince, of course I will support him as the emperor!"

"It's just...... That concubine Li,"

Xi Wei waved his hand: "Planting flowers is for appreciation." ”

"Farming is for harvesting."

"It's like a general, you lead troops to fight a war, to expand your territory!"

"No one will do something without a purpose, and the same is true of Concubine Li!"

"The third prince ascended the throne as the emperor, and she is the queen mother of Ningguo...... What is at her fingertips, do you think she will refuse like Li Chen'an? ”

Xiahou Zhuo didn't know, but if he put himself in his shoes, at least he couldn't refuse.

That authority is more alluring than the most beautiful flower in the world.

Roughly only Li Chenan, a fool, would choose to pick up the eldest son of the emperor.

"But the eldest son of the emperor does not die, I am afraid that even if the third prince ascends the throne as the emperor, there will be many incidents in the future."

Xi Wei nodded, "So after this battle is over, General Xiahou should lead his troops into Shu!" ”

"Into Shu?"

"Yes, the eldest son of the emperor is in Shuzhou!"

"If General Xiahou captures or beheads the eldest son of the emperor, how will the third prince and Concubine Li thank you?"

"It's inevitable!"

"General Xiahou became the general of Ningguo, holding the military power of the whole country...... At that time, you want to avenge Queen Lu, so you have a chance! ”

Xiahou Zhuo's eyes lit up: "Does Old Xi know where the emperor's eldest son is hiding?" ”

Xi Wei shook his head, "Fan Taohua should know." ”

"But Fan Taohua is dead."

"Just because she is dead, she will definitely arrange the soldiers of Shuzhou in the place where the emperor's eldest son is!"

"Even the old man guessed that the purpose of her cultivation in Shuzhou for so many years was to protect the eldest son of the emperor!"

"Her soldiers are trained for the emperor's eldest son!"

"Then in the land of Shuzhou, especially in a remote place, the more soldiers there are, the closer you are to the eldest son of the emperor!"

"General Xiahou should send scouts to Shuzhou now, and find out first!"

Xiahou Zhuo pondered for a moment, and did not refuse Xi Wei's suggestion, but he pulled the topic back:

"Tomorrow, our army will arrive at Wufan Plain, and our army is not facing Li Chen'an's 1,000 people, but also 50,000 soldiers from Jiangnan Province......"

"The commander of these 50,000 soldiers is Xie Jing, this person was once under the command of General Wu Mian!"

"Wu Mian led the Red Flame Army at the time of the Kyoto Revolution...... Old Xi, you seem to have a great influence on the Red Flame Army...... Wu Mian, is it someone who obeys your orders? ”

Xi Wei did not deny it.

He nodded.

Xiahou Zhuo's eyes narrowed slightly: "Wu Mian is the house slave who got on the bus and waited for Lu Zhanxiao...... You are old, but you are the enemy of the Hou Mansion! ”

"Wu Mian is loyal to Lu Zhanxiao, if it is said that he betrayed Lu Zhanxiao...... I can't believe it! ”

Xi Wei laughed.

"On the third day of October in the third year of Zhaohua, where were you at that time?"

"I'm in Nine Yin City!"

"If the old man said that the Chehou Mansion was destroyed, it was not the old man's work at all, do you believe it?"

Xiahou Zhuo was stunned for a moment, because that incident was too big!

Even if he was in the border Nine Yin City, he had heard the details of that incident.

They all said that it was done by Xi Wei!

He denied this statement at the moment......

Of course, Xi Wei saw the doubts on Xiahou Zhuo's face, "Tell me what is the benefit of the old man by looking at the old man's design to kill the door of the waiting house and get on the bus?" ”

Xiahou Zhuo was stunned again, "Isn't it just to weaken Ning Guo's force?" ”

"Isn't it just to pave the way for you to overthrow Ning Guo?"

Xi Wei shook his head and smiled:

"You're wrong!"

"The destruction of the Hou Mansion of Shangche has created the rise of the Hou Mansion of Dingguo!"

"The Red Flame Army is still there, and there is another powerful Shenwu Army...... Where did Ning's armed forces come from? ”

"Besides, the country has been destroyed for so many years, and the old man did have the heart to avenge the country at the beginning, but after so many years, the old man's mind has slowly faded."

Xiahou Zhuo choked, and was speechless for a moment, but he was still in disbelief.

"So what's going on with the waiting house?"

Xi Wei smiled and did not answer Xiahou Zhuo's question.

"Let the past pass, let people live, and the most important thing is to face the future."

He stood up, "Xie Jing, you can be trusted!" ”

"Your 30,000 border troops can be combined with Xie Jing's 50,000 government soldiers."

"Eighty thousand troops!"

"Xie Jing will act according to your orders, and no matter what arrangements Li Chenan makes, it will not help."

"Many times, the so-called stratagem is not worth mentioning in the face of strong strength!"

"Xie Jing will come to see you, you can discuss tomorrow's battle, but you have to keep in mind that you must not raise troops to go south!"

When Xiahou Zhuo heard this, he asked, "Why can't you go south with 80,000 soldiers?" ”

"Because you're going to provoke the Shenwu Army back!"

"In Kyoto Yujing City, there is a warm boiling rain!"

"The walls of Yujing City are very thick!"

"The combat effectiveness of those soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division of Yujing City ...... It's no worse than your 30,000 border troops! ”

Xiahou Zhuo also stood up, "Then ...... you mean?" ”

"After this battle is over, go to Shuzhou!"

"What if you fail to kill Li Chen'an?"

"Go to Shuzhou too!"

"Just for the eldest son of the emperor?"

"Not only for the eldest son of the emperor, but also for the long term!"

"The land of Shuzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you take Shuzhou, you can advance, retreat, and defend! ”

"That's all the old man said, as for how you choose...... Volunteer! ”

"Farewell!"

"Where is Elder Xi going?"

"To meet an old friend."

Xi Wei walked out of the handsome tent and walked into the starry night.

It was on a makeshift lookout outside the tent.

Thirty crossbowmen aimed at Xi Wei's back.

Xiahou Zhuo stood in front of the door of the handsome tent, and he didn't give the order to release the arrow until Xi Wei completely disappeared into the night.

Because he couldn't judge the truth or falsehood of Xi Wei's words.

But there is one sentence that is indeed true -

The land of Shuzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Shuzhou is taken...... No matter how the country changes, you can not be afraid!

So tomorrow in the battle of Wufan Yuan, will Xie Jing really come to join him as Xi Wei said?

He didn't have to wait long for the guards to reciprocate.

Xie Jing, it's really here!

Xi Wei, this old thing, there is indeed something!

This night, the lights in Xiahou Zhuoshuai's tent were lit until dawn.

……

……

On this night, in the Yuelai Inn, the largest inn in Kyoto's Yujing City, there was also a light that was lit until dawn.

The prince of Wu Guo boiled the fourth pot of tea tonight.

He looked up at Yu Dingzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and suddenly smiled:

"Why be angry?"

Yu Dingzhi's face was full of anger: "The minister has to be angry!" ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed out: "The minister went to Honglu Temple today, and they didn't even allow the minister to meet Wen Boiled Rain!" ”

"What do you say, Lord Wen is not available!"

"I want to be in our Dongxu City, and the dog who boiled the rain came to eat and drink at the minister's house for three days!"

"Chen thought that after all, he had some affection, and Chen wanted to ask him for clarification...... Is it that Li Chenan covered the sky with one hand and didn't give him power! ”

The minister thought that he had been wronged, and thought that if he was unwilling in Ningguo, he would be able to show his ambitions in our Wu Kingdom...... But Your Highness, guess how Li Wenyuan told the minister! ”

Wu Qian raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?" ”

Li Wenyuan said that Master Wen had spoken, and we didn't go to the scheduled time for negotiation yesterday...... We're going to talk about that later...... Just wait! ”

"He said, this is not what the regent meant, this is Lord Wen's idea!"

"This dog thing!"

Yun Shuxian on the side also laughed at this moment.

"Lord Yu, don't worry, this is exactly the usual method of warm cooking rain."

"Isn't that just to provoke us?"

"What are we anxious about? Isn't it just spending a little more money? ”

"I didn't receive any news, Xiahou Zhuo has led his troops to Feng County...... Whether the regent can leave Feng County alive is unknown, and in the old man's opinion, he probably won't be able to get out alive. ”

"What are we anxious about?"

"Wait for the news of the battle of Fengxian to come back, that regent is dead, and Wen Zhuan Yu will come and beg us to talk!"

"Ming'er, let's go to Tai Academy and meet Hua Manting."

"This old guy is a very thoughtful man."
