Hearing the warning in the tone of the Sonig, Ma Kuo's expression did not change, and he took a moment to say: "Whether it is a bluff or an exaggeration, with the wisdom of the king like a mountain, you will know it as soon as you hear it." ”

Honig said with interest: "Let's hear it." ”

Ma Kuolang said: "The battle situation in Yunzhou, presumably the king already knows, my Majesty Qi State has personally conquered the land, and in just half a month, even the land of several states, Datong Mansion will not last long, and Xijing Road will fall into the hands of my Qi State sooner or later." ”

Hearing this, Fenig shook his head and smiled: "The 100,000 Western Route Army under Wanyan Zonghan is still there, and the Eastern Route Army in Zhongjing can rush to the aid at any time, and it is a fool's dream for Qi to want to take Datong Mansion." ”

Ma Kuo said confidently: "If the king thinks that relying on one Qi country alone is not enough, then what about adding Western Xia?" ”

Western Xia?

Fenig's smile froze, his heart was uncertain, and a pair of eyes stared at Ma Kuo, trying to see the clue from the other party's face.

It's a pity that Ma Kuo looked at him calmly, his eyes full of confidence.

"Nonsense!"

Fen Nige snorted coldly and refuted: "Xixia is a subject country of the Jin Kingdom, how can it help the Qi State to cut down the Jin." ”

Ma Kuo replied: "Naturally, it is because the Liao King Dashi Linya said peace from it. ”

"Yelu Dashi is back?"

Bonig exclaimed, unable to keep his composure any longer.

Zazag on the side, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

On the grassland, the prestige of Yelu Dashi is extremely high, otherwise it would not be possible to escape to the city of Kedun, and immediately integrate all the surrounding tribes for his use.

Now that they have returned with their troops, the other grassland tribes who have been oppressed by the Jin people will definitely come to vote.

At that time, who knows if Yelu Dashi will settle accounts with them after the autumn?

"Not bad!"

Ma Kuo nodded and chuckled: "The King of Liao is now leading a vanguard army of 10,000 and is stationed two hundred miles away. ”

There were more than 10,000 people under the command of Yelu Dashi, but Ma Kuo added the vanguard army, and when he heard it in the ears of the two of them, it was suddenly different.

Honig and Zazag glanced at each other, and they both saw horror in each other's eyes.

The State of Qi actually united Yelu Dashi and Western Xia!

Ma Kuo struck while the iron was hot, and Zhengse said: "Xixia has sent troops, according to the plan, the King of Liao should also lead his troops straight into Xijing Road, surround them on three sides, and kill Yan Zonghan in one go!" The Jin people will undoubtedly be defeated, and the king has always kept in mind the fact that the king showed goodwill to the Jin people and sent troops to assist the Jin people in capturing Emperor Tianzuo. If the Jin people are defeated, they can retreat to the bitter cold land of the Northeast, where can the king's tribe run? That's why the official said that the king was coming to a catastrophe, but he still didn't know it. ”

Nieg's expression changed for a while, and he suddenly smiled, and waved his big hand: "Come on, serve wine and meat!" ”

In a short time, someone was carrying a roasted whole sheep and mare's milk wine into the tent.

Seeing this, Ma Kuo was relieved, knowing that he had successfully bluffed the other party, and the matter of borrowing the way should be done.

He picked up the silver cup and said with a hearty smile: "The envoys of the Qi Kingdom have come from afar, and this king will give you a cup." ”

"Drink together!"

Ma Kuo raised his glass.

After a glass of wine, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became much more harmonious.

Fenig said tentatively: "This king has admired the big stone forest for a long time, but he has never seen it, which is quite a pity. Now that the big stone forest is close at hand, why don't you come with the envoys? ”

Ma Kuo replied: "The King of Liao still has important matters to deal with, and he can't get away for the time being." ”

Events?

Honig was shocked.

Could it be that they are waiting for the army to assemble and attack themselves?

The smarter a person is, the more self-righteous he likes to make up for his brain.

Ma Kuo has seen too many such people, so he has already summed up a set of ambiguous words.

"If you have something important, I'll just leave it for next time."

Honig sighed slightly, pretending to be regretful.

Three rounds of drinking.

Fenig finally couldn't help it, and took the initiative to ask: "But I don't know why the envoy of Qi came this time?" ”

Ma Kuo said unhurriedly: "This official came to visit this time to borrow from the king. ”

"Borrow?"

Phoenix's pupils shrank, and he fell into deep thought.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Ma Kuo reminded: "Before this official came, the King of Liao had specially told him that if the king could borrow the Tao, the past would be written off. ”

“……”

Honig was silent, as if in thought.

After a moment, he spoke: "The stakes are very high, and we need to discuss them. I also ask the envoy of Qi to stay for the time being and reply tomorrow. Come, take the envoys of Qi to rest in the tent. ”

"The official will retire first."

Ma Kuan stood up and saluted, and led Zhang Dutou and Lu Cheng out of the felt tent.

Seeing him leave, Zazag said suspiciously: "King, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say it. ”

Fenig frowned: "What this person said is half-true and half-true, and I can't believe it, but I don't dare to bet." ”

Of course, he knew that Ma Kuo couldn't fully believe what he said, and the reason why he hesitated was because of the strong combat power shown by Qi State in Yunzhou.

How capable the Jin people are, Zhan Nige knows best, not to mention that there are many fierce generals under Wanyan Zonghan, such as Wanyan Lou Room and Yinshuke.

Even so, he was beaten by the Qi State, and in just a few days, he captured the land of Sizhou.

Weak countries have no diplomacy.

Ma Kuo's confidence comes from the fierceness of the Qi army.

The Qi State alone has defeated the Jin army one after another, and if Yelu Dashi and Western Xia join the war again, then the Jin State will indeed be defeated.

"What about this...... To borrow or not to borrow? ”

Zazag felt that his brain was a little inadequate.

He was about to speak, but saw the curtain of the felt tent door opened, and a personal guard hurriedly walked in, and reported: "King, the envoy of Datong Mansion is here!" ”

Envoys of Datong Province?

The two of them were shocked.

The first to come back to his senses, Sonig immediately ordered, "Bring him to me." ”

Not long after, the Jin envoy came.

Compared with Ma Kuo's courtesy and courtesy, the Jin envoy was much more arrogant, with a steel knife at his waist and hips, and strode into the felt tent, followed by more than a dozen guards.

A trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he said with a smile on his face: "I have seen the envoy, but I don't know what the envoy is visiting late at night?" ”

The envoy of Jin Guo this time was Wanyan Zonghan's younger brother Wanyan Zha Baodi.

Wanyan Zha Baodi sat down with a golden sword, and said in an arrogant tone: "The marshal ordered you to gather your army and go south to Datong Mansion to defend against the enemy." ”

The army was established during the Liao State, which means the army of the northern grasslands.

The elite of the tribes on the grassland was selected and formed.

After the Jin State destroyed the Liao, it retained the tradition of the army, and asked the leaders of the tribes to send their own heirs into the army, which is equivalent to a proton.

In this way, it is easier to control the grassland.

At present, there are a total of three armies in the territory of the Jin State, one of which is temporarily under the command of the Mo Ge Lost Division, with a number of about 13,000 people.

Fenig's heart sank, and it had reached the point where he wanted to use the army, indicating that the war in Yunzhou was urgent.

Thinking of this, he hesitated: "In a hurry, it is difficult to gather all the troops, and the envoys will need to wait for a few days. ”

Wanyan Zha Baodi was eating the roast whole lamb in a big gulp, and said arrogantly: "I will only give you three days, and if you exceed three days, you will be dealt with according to military law!" ”

"Yes!"

Bonig had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Wanyan Zabaodi was very satisfied with his attitude, eating meat and drinking a lot.

Fenig was on the side, and asked sideways: "Dare to ask the envoy, how is the battle situation in Yunzhou?" ”

Wanyan Zha Baodi snorted coldly: "Qi Gou fought without declaring a war, relying on a surprise attack, and occupied a few cities. It won't be long before the marshal will drive Qi Gou back and take advantage of the situation to go south and give them an unforgettable lesson. ”

Hearing this, Fenig said with a smile: "The envoy is right, the Han people in the Central Plains are capricious, and they must be subdued, and if they are afraid, they will become docile sheep." ”

After Yan Zabaodi had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, he respectfully sent him out of the felt tent and found a few young girls to warm the bed.

Zazag asked, "What now?" ”

He pondered: "Send someone to tell the envoys of Qi about the arrival of the envoys of Datong Mansion, and see how they react." ”

"Good!"

Zazag turned and went to make arrangements.

"Wait."

Hornig stopped him and admonished, "Be subtle, don't be too deliberate." ”

……

The residence of Ma Kuo and the Xuanjia Army was arranged on the east side of the tribe.

In the tent, Ma Kuo was recalling the details of the conversation he had just had with Ronig.

At this moment, a whisper suddenly came from outside the tent.

Ma Kuo didn't pay attention at first, but as he listened, his expression changed.

"Why did Jin Guo suddenly come?"

"I heard that I asked the king to help fight the war."

Wanyan Zonghan sent an envoy here?

Ma Kuo was shocked, then got up and lifted the curtain.

The two herdsmen who were serving him outside the tent immediately shut their mouths and said no more.

All the way to the tent next door to Zhang Dutou, Ma Kuo ordered: "Zhang Dutou, call all the soldiers." ”

"Good!"

Seeing his serious expression, Zhang Dutou didn't ask, and immediately summoned the Xuanjia Army to the tent.

Looking around at the crowd, Ma Kuo said in a low voice: "The Jin people have sent an envoy here!" ”

Well?

Everyone's expressions changed.

Ma Kuo continued: "Onig is wavering, and he can't say that he will detain us and hand it over to the envoys of the Jin State. At that time, not only will our lives be difficult to protect, but we will also lose all our efforts in borrowing the Tao. ”

Zhang Dutou said in a firm tone: "Ma Shangshu, you just have to command, the brothers trust you!" ”

"Good!"

Ma Kuo only felt that his blood was boiling, and he said arrogantly: "This official wants to follow Ban Dingyuan's old affairs, strike first and kill the envoys of the Jin State, can you dare to fight with this official?" ”

"Kill the Golden Dog!"

Zhang Du and the others roared in unison, their eyes full of murderous intent.

Soon, the fifty-eight soldiers of the Xuanjia Army were ready.

Ma Kuo was the first to walk out of the tent and said to one of the herdsmen: "This official knows that the Jin people have sent an envoy, where does the Jin envoy live?" ”

"This ......"

The herdsman was stunned for a moment, and it was difficult to answer suddenly, so he had to tell the truth about the situation: "Stay...... He lives in a felt tent on the south side of the river. ”

Ma Kuo asked again: "How many Jin envoys are there?" ”

"More than thirty."

As soon as the herdsman's voice fell, he saw Ma expand his hand and wave, and ordered: "Tie up!" ”

The next moment, the Xuanjia army behind him swarmed up, tied up the two herdsmen, and stuffed strips of cloth in their mouths.

Looking at the frightened herdsmen, Ma Kuo said in a low voice: "The two of you have been wronged to sleep in the tent for a while, and I will release the tie for you later!" ”

After that, Ma Kuo took out the steel knife, took the lead, and took the lead in killing the felt tent of the Jin envoy!
