Chapter 42: The Meeting

Chu Weitian sent Cheng Guang and Zhao Jian to tell them about the fact that the king of Zhenxi asked the two to accompany the king of Yuwen to the audience. He told the two of them that when the time came, they must strongly advise the King of Zhenxi and King Yuwen to join forces against the imperial court, so as to ensure that the Western Regions would not be exterminated by the imperial army.

"If King Zhenxi doesn't listen to the advice and insists on being unfavorable to King Yuwen, what should it be?" Zhao Jian said with some concern.

"I'm also very relieved. Chu Weixian said: "The king of Zhenxi only let King Yuwen go alone, I am afraid that there is fraud in it." ”

"Then what did King Yuwen think?" asked Cheng Guang.

He said yes in one bite. I've gone back and changed my outfit, and I'll be there soon. Mr. Chu replied.

At this time, Miss Muyang walked into the hall, heard their conversation, and said with a smile: "I think you are worrying about nothing, since King Yuwen has agreed to go, you must have already known it, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

"In my opinion, that King Yuwen is much more shrewd than my Tianci brother, you really don't have to worry about him, he has his own way. Mu Yang seemed to be confident and said.

"How can you see it?" asked Zhao Jian.

Miss Muyang walked up to his father with a smile, pointed at Zhao Jian and said, "Daddy, look at this idiot, you have forgotten how King Yuwen entered Tongyuancheng. ”

"This, I have already found out that among the more than 2,000 recruits we recruited in the early stage, many of them defected from the garrison troops in the Northern Regions, and it seems that they were all arranged by King Yuwen in advance. Zhao Jian said with some embarrassment.

"Think about it, wasn't it more than a month ago when Duwei Zhao recruited these recruits, could it be that King Yuwen knew in advance that he was going to defeat Gulu Pass?" asked Mu Yang.

"You look at the troops he leads, the morale is high, the fighting spirit is strong, where there is a defeated army, I think his defeat was also premeditated in advance, I'm afraid it's just a strategic shift. In this way, it is all under his control, and you really don't need to worry about him. Mu Yang continued.

"Is that so? Then how did I hear that when King Yuwen escaped from Gulu Pass, his wife and children were burned to death in the palace by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court?" Zhao Jian seemed to be a little unconvinced of Mu Yang's analysis.

"Is it really happening? In that case, I don't know, maybe it was a sudden change, unexpected. ”

"Yes, I heard that Duan Fei, the general under King Yuwen, secretly defected to the imperial court, raised an incident in the city, opened the city gate and let the imperial army enter the Gulu Pass, which caused King Yuwen's troops to be defeated and fled. Cheng Guang said.

Everyone was discussing, the guards came to report, King Yuwen arrived, and waited in front of the mansion.

Lord Chu immediately asked Yuwen to be invited to sit down, and ordered Cheng Guang and Zhao Jian to prepare quickly, and later accompanied King Yuwen to Xiamaguan to meet Wu Yuguo, the king of Zhenxi.

It is said that after the three of them packed up, they went out of Tongyuan City together, and moved forward quickly, and in less than half a day, they came to the front of the city of Xiamaguan.

After the report, the city gate was opened, and the military advisor Wang Jianyi and the general Sima Yi greeted them. The two dismounted and came to King Yuwen to give a salute, and after seeing it, they respectfully invited the three of them to enter the city.

The group walked towards the palace of the king of Zhenbei under the leadership of two cavalry honor guards, and arrived at the palace of the king of Zhenxi after a while.

King Yuwen raised his eyes, a splendid and splendid palace stood in front of him, two rows of warriors holding long swords stood on both sides of the wide platform in front of the palace, arranged neatly, majestic, a magnificent and magnificent scene.

At this time, the king of Zhenxi appeared on the platform, and saw him lead the king's ministers and military generals to meet the generals. King Yuwen and Cheng Guang and Zhao Jian and other three people had already dismounted and stood still, King Yuwen and King Zhenxi bowed to each other, and after a greeting, they walked in the house in both directions, and everyone then rushed in.

In front of the Yin'an Palace, all the Wenchen generals and Cheng Guang, Zhao Jian and others stopped, and the King of Zhenxi brought King Yuwen and Wang Jian's first military division, General Sima Yi and Wu Sheng, the general of Xiamaguan, and others entered together, and the guests and hosts sat down.

"King Yuwen of Zhenbei came to the Western Regions this time, it is really the king's luck, since the last time he parted in the capital, I am afraid that he has not met for seventeen or eighteen years, right?"

"That's true, in fact, when I heard that the king was changing kings in the imperial court, he took the lead in resisting the decree, and I was respectful and secretly admired. King Yuwen said, "It is said that when my little sister was arrested by the imperial court, she planned to defect to the king, and she really regarded the king as the last backer of my Yuwen family." I didn't expect my little sister's wish to succeed, but today it was up to me to come true. ”

"Yes, it's a pity that this king doesn't know about this, otherwise he would have sent someone to help, and the crown princess would not have been killed by thieves. The king of Zhenxi said with some regret, and after a little hesitation, he suddenly lowered his face and asked: "It's just that why did you suddenly rush to the capital from the northern regions to start an incident, but you didn't communicate with the prince Wu Shizhong in advance? ”

"This is wrong, I entered the palace at that time, it was on the order of the prince, escorting a large number of rare treasures, to the emperor's enthronement ceremony, accompanied by less than 200 soldiers, where there is any army, let alone Tufan warriors, is framed by villains. Please don't listen to rumors. ”

"Oh, then were you going to express your heartfelt feelings to the traitor Beikun at that time, don't you know that he tampered with the secret edict of the former emperor without permission, and usurped the throne and sought power under the instruction of the Empress Dowager Huang? King Zhenxi stood up from his chair and asked sharply, "I see that you have another plan, you want to take advantage of the chaos to force the palace and usurp my Central Plains, don't you have the benefits of the Gundo Khan of Tufan?!"

In an instant, dozens of heavily armed soldiers rushed out from behind the screens on both sides to surround Yuwen, and the surrounding ministers hurriedly retreated to the side.

"Take down the traitor Yuwen Haotian for me!" With the order of the King of Zhenxi, the soldiers were about to step forward to capture the King of Yuwen.

Seeing this, King Yuwen calmly stood up from his chair, calmly took off his helmet, withdrew his armor, and handed over the sword to the soldiers, and said: "Since the king of Zhenxi does not trust the younger brother, the younger brother is also willing to give this head to you, and take it to the court in exchange for some rewards. With that, he cut off the back of his hands and made the soldiers tie up strongly.

When the soldiers pushed King Yuwen out of the palace gate, King Yuwen stopped, turned back to the king of Zhenxi and said: "After my defeat in Gulu Pass, the imperial court will send heavy troops to conquer the Western Regions in the near future, I brought 20,000 elite soldiers from the northern region, and now stationed in Tongyuan City. Then he walked away.

King Zhenxi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he couldn't figure out for a moment what King Yuwen meant by this, whether it was true or false, or whether he was threatening him? But the fact that King Yuwen's 20,000 elite Chen soldiers were in Tongyuan City really made him jealous.
