Soon, Xiping Kingdom II died, and a new lord had been established, and the news of changing the name of the country to Liao spread all over the north and south of the river.

Wangjiang Tower, Baoyu Prefecture, Great Chu, the god of war, held the spy report he had just learned in his hand, and smiled at the peerless strategist who even the king of Chu had to worship as a god: "Little Xipingguo, it's really a surprise, first Ah Shan's crossbow killed Cao Bo's 100,000 army in one fell swoop in Feiyunjian, and then the disciple of the predecessor took advantage of Ashan's absence in Beijing, and successfully rebelled against the rest of the soldiers to launch a mutiny, and now Xiping has become history, but I don't know who this Liaowang District Yunxi, who has never heard of it?" ”

Xuanyuan Ce leaned on the bamboo chair, carrying a pot of wine, poured himself a drink, and said with a smile: "It's nothing more than a puppet supported by Li Mixian." I, an apprentice, even if I have the ability to be an emperor, will not go out in person, after all, a scribe rebelled, and his name is not right, even if he sits on the dragon chair, he will not be able to serve the public. ”

Sikong Li said: "The predecessors are really famous teachers and high apprentices. ”

Xuanyuan Ce snorted coldly and said: "The old man has a very high vision, compared to other peers who are full of peach and plums, he has only accepted three disciples in this life. Among the three, Li Mixian is the most ambitious, a small Xiping country, can not satisfy his appetite, but unfortunately Xiping is weak after all, Li Mixian can only make a dojo in a snail shell. Not to mention that if this person is to serve Liang Guomen, even if he and Song Jinyang change positions, and complement each other with Sikong and you, he will already lay down half of the Central Plains, where do you need to wait for a good opportunity here and act according to the faces of others. ”

Sikong Li Qi said: "Do the seniors have such a high evaluation of this son?" ”

Xuanyuan Ce nodded and said: "Among my three disciples, Song Jinyang is probably the oldest, and he has the pedantic spirit of an old pedant, so he is decent in everything, he doesn't seek great merit, but he doesn't make mistakes, he is just a person who keeps his achievements; Li Mixian is the most ambitious, and unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, he likes to take chestnuts from the fire, and always wants to go down in history with his three-inch tongue; As for Guo Yuan, he is the most talented, does things without leakage, has excellent patience, is invincible in the control of subtleties, and is good at grasping people's hearts. According to the old man's view, the future of the world will mostly depend on the contest between Guo and Li. ”

Hearing this, Sikong Li frowned, and asked, "According to what my predecessors said, isn't it possible for me to be a leader in the future?" ”

Xuanyuan Ce said with a smile: "The old man is not a true immortal who has no last resort, how can he determine the ownership of the world in a few words, and there is a military god, everything is possible, after all, Wenchen is safe in the world, and the real fight against the world depends on you generals." However, if the military god can be assisted by Li and Guo, it is always more worry-free and effort-saving. ”

Sikong Li nodded, and said seriously: "Senior's method is not bad, if there is a chance in the future, I will personally invite these two people back." ”

Xuanyuan Ce raised his head and poured a large sip of wine, wiped his face, and sighed: "I'm afraid that the world will be in chaos again, if the old man's expectations are good, my disciple Guo Yuan will definitely come to Chu State in person in the next few days to discuss joining forces." ”

General Yanguo's mansion, Guo Yuan visited alone again, Baili Jin personally went out of the mansion to greet him, the former went straight to the point and said: "General Baili, now Ashan crossbow has broken the Liang army, Xiping has changed hands, and the country name has been changed to Liao, presumably the new lord will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and send troops to attack Liang State, can the general still remember what he said three years ago?" ”

Baili Jin laughed and said: "Ben Jiang naturally remembers that Mr. promised Ben that within ten years, he will definitely break through the gate of Liang State." ”

Guo Yuan nodded and said, "Then Li Mi first gave us a surprise, I think the general doesn't need to wait so long." Now that the Liao State has won a great victory, the Liang State general Cao Bo has died in battle, and he has lost 100,000 soldiers in vain. This is an indisputable fact that Liang Guo is unscrupulous, with the ability of Ashan's crossbow, whether Zhu Wang or Ye Baiye led the troops, against the 40,000 Eastern Tiger and Wolf Army, without this number, it would not be able to hold it at all. Saying that, the two fingers interlaced, and a cross was compared, "Taking advantage of the Liao army going north, my Dayan and Chu State will join forces to send troops, and when the time comes, the three-pronged approach will break through the gate of Qingyang City, just around the corner!" ”

Baili Jin stroked his palms and laughed: "God bless me Dayan, finally wait for this day, the 80,000 soldiers under the command of this general can't wait." Dare to ask sir, when will the troops be dispatched? ”

Guo Yuan laughed and said: "How can the general be so anxious, let me go down to Chu first, meet the King of Chu and Sikong Li, and then send troops after the two sides have negotiated." ”

Baili Jin suddenly worried, worried: "This is dangerous, Mr. is alone, I can't rest assured, now that the Liang country is full of soldiers, can I send troops to accompany Mr.?" ”

Guo Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't have an official position in my subordinates, how dare I bother the general to send troops to accompany me, besides, the army is pulled, so it is even more dangerous to swagger through the market." The general rest assured that the king had ordered Liu Huailiang to accompany him on this trip, and there would be no mistakes in the future. ”

Hearing that there was the protection of the number one master in Yan Guoda, Baili Jin was relieved and said: "This is very good, then the general will wait here for Mr. good news." ”

Although the Liang State has experienced a big defeat, it is now a rumor, and the grass and trees are all soldiers, but Yongzhou is located in the northwest after all, far away from the war in Jingzhou, and Liu Huai came to help along the way, Guo Yuan passed through the border of Yongzhou of Liang and came to the territory of the Great Chu State safely. The two came to the capital city of Poyang, and under the leadership of Song Jinyang, they entered the palace to meet the king of Chu.

In the palace, Chen Xiong, the king of Chu, stood beside him and got the news early, and the Great Chu military god who was ordered to return to Beijing was very powerful. In order to show his sincerity, Chen Xiong had already removed all the guards in the palace, Guo Yuan saw such a style, and sneered in his heart, there is a person who can be a thousand troops and horses, try to ask who dares to be presumptuous.

Guo Yuan stepped forward and saluted: "Grass people Guo Yuan, see the King of Chu." ”

"Sir, please take a seat." Chen Xiong said with a smile, "I heard that Mr. and the national teacher are from the same family, and the widow respects the scholar the most, I don't know why Mr. came here today?" ”

Guo Yuan straightened his clothes and said: "I believe that the King of Chu already knows the current situation, the Liao State has just won a big victory in Feiyunjian, and it is bound to take advantage of the victory to pursue it, and spit out the grievances that have been suppressed by the Liang State over the years. And my Dayan and Chu have always been good friends, why not take this opportunity to join forces to attack the beam, and then the two-pronged approach will be directed at Qingyang City, wouldn't it be beautiful? ”

Chen Xiong said with a smile: "Sir's plan is very popular, but after laying down the territory of Liang State, what should I do?" ”

Guo Yuan said: "I have had a detailed discussion with Song Guoshi before, and the king of my family means that after the Liang State is conquered, the sixteen states of the Central Plains can be selected by the king of Chu first. ”

Chen Xiong smiled even more, looking at the peerless strategist in front of him who was still famous above Song Jinyang, and said with a smile: "This matter Jinyang has mentioned to the widow, I have never objected to the matter of the two countries joining forces to attack Liang, as for what sixteen states choose half of them, it is all a later story, Mr. Lao Fu went back and told Li Chengzhi that one day they will join forces to lay down the Central Plains thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, so why not share the world with him!" ”

Guo Yuan's expression changed slightly, he picked up the wine glass in front of him, and said loudly: "Don't worry, the king, Guo Yuan will definitely bring the words." Since the king agreed to join forces, Guo Mou will have the courage to give His Majesty a cup of the king today, and wish Chu Yan a joint effort and success! ”

Chen Xiong raised his wine glass and replied with a smile: "Later, Mr. can discuss the strategic details of this alliance with the national teacher in detail, and the god of the air force has also been invited back from the border. ”

Chen Xiong seemed to be in a good mood, constantly pushing and changing cups with a few people, and soon he drank a little too much, lay on the desk, and fell asleep. Seeing this, Guo Yuan was ready to get up and say goodbye.

The cooperation strategy between the two sides has been finalized, this meeting can be regarded as a great joy, Guo Yuan is about to return to Yan State to resume his life, Song Jinyang got up to see him off, Sikong Li hesitated slightly, and also got up. A group of four people walked out of the main hall, Song Jinyang patted Guo Yuan's shoulder and advised: "On the way back, be careful, now that big things can be expected, don't capsize in the gutter." ”

Guo Yuan looked helpless, and scolded with a smile: "You can't expect me to order a good order." ”

Song Jinyang smiled and said with a smile: "It's a gaffe." ”

Guo Yuan clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, the military god and the old Song Dynasty, I will go back to recover my life first, and when we capture Qingyang City and cut off Feng Jingquan's dog head, you and I will drink and talk again." ”

Just as he was about to turn around, Sikong Li on the side suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency is Liu Huailiang, who is known as the number one master in Yan Guoda?" ”

Liu Huailiang, who had never said a word, turned around, looked at the famous Great Chu military god for the first time, and asked: "It is here, dare to ask the military god what advice does he have?" ”

Sikong pulled the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "If there is a chance in the future, I will have a good discussion with Your Excellency." ”

Liu Huailiang replied: "Then Liu is waiting for the military god in Yan Kingdom!" ”

Seeing Guo Yuan and the others leave, Song Jinyang didn't know why Sikong Li suddenly made trouble at the moment of parting, and confronted Liu Huailiang-for-tat, but he had never had a deep relationship with this military god, and it was not easy to ask, so he just gave his hand and left.

Sikong Li looked at Song Jinyang's back, pulled the corners of his mouth again, and turned around and walked back to the main hall. Chen Xiong sat alone on the dragon chair, his face was like sinking water, where was there still a trace of drunkenness, he obviously expected Sikong Li to go and return, and said: "Although I never doubted Song Jinyang's loyalty, but after all, he went out of the same door as that Guo Yuanshi, this matter is very important, and there is no room for any difference. ”

Sikong Li said coldly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if Song Jinyang has two hearts, he will take off his head with his own hands!" ”

Chen Xiong waved his hand and said, "I don't like to test people's hearts the most, rather than killing Song Jinyang by mistake in a fit of anger, it is better to keep him away from this matter." For what Guo Yuan said before, what does the military god think? ”

Sikong said in a deep voice: "What this person said, credible but not fully credible, although Liang has just suffered a big defeat, but the general trend of the world is still in the hands of Liang State, and the other three countries want to contend with each other, only to join forces." If Yan Chu chooses to stand still at this time, after the Liang State solves the foreign troubles of Liao, the national strength will not be greatly damaged, and there is still strength to deal with our country, so although the combination of Chu and Yan is inevitable, it is just a helpless move of the general trend. As for the ownership of the world after gnawing the hard bone of Liang Guo, it can only be done by both sides, each with their own ability. ”

Chen Xiong nodded and said, "Your thoughts coincide with mine. The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and it is okay to choose half of the country or share the world, but it is just a tacit scene between the two sides, and it cannot be true. So Sikong, you have to remember that it is okay to join forces, and you must preserve your strength as much as possible, and one less person will die in my Great Chu Jiashi, and there will be one more chance to seize the world in the future. ”

Sikong Li hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then said: "The last general had the intention to test Liu Huailiang outside the palace before, and this person was hidden and should not be underestimated. ”

Chen Xiong stretched his waist and said with a smile: "There is Sikong, everything is fine, I am very relieved." Today, I promise you that one day, after my Great Chu wins the Central Plains, I will definitely make you the first minister in the world who does not lose to the king with a different surname! ”

————

On the way back to Yan Kingdom, Guo Yuan lifted the curtain, looked at Liu Huailiang, who was acting as a groom, and asked with a smile: "Commander Liu, if Your Excellency fights Sikong Li, what will be the outcome or defeat?" ”

Liu Huailiang pondered for a moment and muttered: "If it is just a simple division of victory and defeat, the chances of winning will be greater, but if it is a decision of life and death, I am afraid that the Great Chu military god will have the last laugh." ”

Guo Yuan was surprised: "Why is this? Don't you still have the advantage in the realm? ”

For this strategist who even Li Chengzhi has to be regarded as a guest, Liu Huailiang did not hide it, and said in a deep voice: "The level of the realm does not mean the strength of the killing methods, the top masters of the Yan Kingdom, except for Ling Xiaoyun, who is the second divine dragon in the world, can only be used to support the scene with Mo Zifeng, it is ashamed to say that although he is now sitting firmly in the first-class god realm, it is just the light of the Great Yan Dragon Vein, this kind of realm is really not worth mentioning in the eyes of the martial artists of the same realm." Sikong Li as a martial artist who proves the Tao with strength, the realm consolidation is far from being able to reach below, it is a battle of life and death, and the chances of winning in the lower are not great, but if His Majesty has laid down the Central Plains and become the co-lord of the world, as a minister from the dragon, he may be able to break through the realm of heaven and man in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, as long as it is above my Dayan territory, who wins and who loses, it is still unknown. ”

Guo Yuan didn't know how to be relieved, and said with a smile: "I see, it's Guo who underestimated this military god." ”
