On the second day, Xue Ming didn't see Da Tusi because he drank too much last night.

Xue Ming drank a lot of wine and had never drunk too much, so when several elders took turns to toast him, he just smiled slightly, and he didn't refuse to come. But unconsciously, he felt a little in a trance, which made him feel a bad premonition in his heart.

Based on the amount of alcohol he had drunk, the wine he drank today would not have caused him to be in such a situation.

However, before Xue Ming could figure it out, he lay on the table in front of him, unconscious.

After Elder Mu settled Xue Ming, he went to a mountain peak behind the main village to meet the Great Tusi.

Yue Kun stayed in Wulong Mountain forever, and Elder Mu took his place and became the confidant of the Great Tusi.

Elder Mu came to the cave where the Great Toast was located, and the Great Toast was sitting at the stone table drinking tea. Elder Mu saluted, and the Great Toast motioned for him to sit across from him.

Da Tusi handed a cup of tea on the stone table to Elder Mu, Elder Mu was flattered, and quickly got up to thank him, the tea made by Da Tusi himself was not something that anyone could drink, and it seemed that there was only Yue Kun before.

The Great Toast waved his hand and motioned for Elder Mu to sit down.

Elder Mu had replaced Yue Kun for several months, but every time he sat in front of the Great Tusi, it was still like a dream.

Da Tusi drank a cup of tea, put down the teacup and said slowly: "Since Xue Ming has been left here, then hurry up and inform Xi Zhou." ”

"Elder Xu is ready to set off at any time. After speaking, Elder Mu said with some worry: "I just don't know if Western Zhou will attack the Wei army's defense line as we expected after getting this news." ”

Da Tusi said: "The lord of the Western Zhou Dynasty is the fourth prince, he has lost the upper hand in the competition for the position of the crown prince of the third prince, and he urgently needs a great effort to turn the situation around." This time, if he took the opportunity to take the southwest defense line of the Great Wei, he would definitely get the support of the Western Zhou Emperor and most of the courtiers in the court, so he would not be indifferent when he got the news. ”

Elder Mu said, "Since this Fourth Prince's need for this credit, why haven't they attacked the border for so long?"

Da Tusi said: "The enemy on three sides of the Great Wei is an action that the Northern Yan, the Jin State and the Western Zhou have been plotting for a long time. They knew that the national strength of the Great Wei had been declining after the disaster of Wancheng, so they wanted to join forces to carve up the territory of the Great Wei, and the reason why they had been plotting for a long time and did not act was that they were waiting for an opportunity, and this time King Cheng gave them this opportunity. The Northern Yan people are fierce and good at riding and shooting, they can attack the first line of defense in the north of the Great Wei when they go out of Yanshan, and if they break the first line of defense, they will be a horse and a flat river in the south, so they will be the first to act. Of course, Beiyan's success is inseparable from King Cheng's assistance. The Jin State was a small country, and it was pulled by the Northern Yan and the Western Zhou to make up the numbers, so they were very cautious and did not dare to send troops easily, but chose to wait and see, and then wait for the opportunity to move. Although the Western Zhou Dynasty was strong, the southwest defense line of the Great Wei had both a natural barrier and a Xue Ming that they feared. They have suffered too much losses from Xue Ming over the years, so even if Beiyan moved, they didn't dare to move. ”

Elder Mu suddenly realized: "So when Western Zhou learned that Xue Ming was left in the Yue clan by us, he would definitely send troops." In addition, Xue Ming was left in the Yue clan, and we sent someone to inform the four princes, which also showed your attitude towards the Great Toast. ”

Da Tusi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Western Zhou is afraid of Xue Ming on the one hand, and the most important thing is the attitude of our Yue clan. ”

Elder Mu said complimentally, "The west slope is always the west slope of the Great Toast. ”

Da Tusi took out a bamboo tube and handed it to Elder Mu: "Let Elder Xu give this to the four princes, and let him tell the four princes that as long as he does what I did in my letter, I will definitely give him a big gift, otherwise he will be a bamboo basket for nothing." ”

"Yes. ”

Da Tusi said, "How are we preparing here?"

Elder Mu said: "It's ready, just wait for your order, and my Xixian boy can form 100,000 male soldiers." ”

Da Tusi said: "Very good, as long as the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Great Wei are at war, we will use these 100,000 soldiers and horses to seize the opportunity to seize the southwestern states of the Great Wei." ”

Elder Mu hesitated for a moment, and then stopped talking.

Da Tusi said: "You can say whatever you want, and ask whatever you want." ”

When Elder Mu heard this, he plucked up his courage and asked, "There is something unknown about my subordinates. ”

Da Tusi said: "You want to ask King Cheng that since he has promised us to help him, he will give us the six southwestern states after the matter is completed, and why do we still send troops to seize it." ”

Elder Mu nodded.

Da Tusi said: "Do you think Cheng Wang will succeed?"

Elder Mu was a little dazed: "It should be successful." The war in the north has already involved the forces in the north of Great Wei, and more importantly, Xue Chen, the commander of the forbidden army, has been transferred from Ji Xuan's side. The southwest side is about to start a war, and the Great Wei will definitely increase its troops, if King Cheng raises troops in the capital at this moment, I am afraid that Ji Xuan will be difficult to stop. ”

Da Tusi shook his head and said, "What you said is all part of the plan to become a king, but it will be difficult for him to succeed in the end, so we can't put our hopes on him." ”

Elder Mu asked puzzledly, "He is scheming, and everything is going according to his plan now, why do you say that he will not succeed?"

Da Tusi said: "The emperor only has two sons, King Cheng has been by the emperor's side since he was a child, it is said that this throne will definitely be the king, but why is it that King Qi, who has not been by his side since he was a child, has become the crown prince?"

Elder Mu said: "It's not that you don't become a king and don't fight for yourself, and you will die by yourself. ”

Da Tusi said: "Although I have only seen King Cheng once in Wulong Mountain, it can be seen that he is not a mediocre person. ”

Elder Mu said, "Why would someone who is not a mediocre person do those mediocre things?"

Da Tusi said: "I haven't figured it out yet, but I dare to conclude that there must be something hidden here." Maybe someone deliberately made King Cheng do this. ”

Elder Mu was taken aback and said, "Could it be that King Cheng is subject to others......?" It can't be......"

Da Tusi said: "It's very possible." ”

Elder Mu said, "He is the prince, how can he be controlled by others? Could it be the Tianyi Sect?"

The Great Tusi shook his head and said, "It can't be Tianyi Sect." Chengwang and Tianyi Sect should only be a cooperative relationship, or Tianyi Sect is attached to Chengwang, perhaps...... Maybe King Cheng and Tianyi Sect have a common master......"

Big Toast fell into deep thought.

Elder Mu said: "Common master, then this person must be extremely powerful, he can control not only a prince, but also a force like Tianyi Sect. ”

Da Tusi came back to his senses from his contemplation and said, "These are just my guesses, but in all the circumstances, there is a good chance that this is true. Things have come to this point, no matter whether there is anyone behind King Cheng or not, it will soon come to light. After the Western Zhou sent troops, he immediately informed King Cheng that he was also waiting for news from us. ”

"Yes. ”
