In the eyes of others, everything seems to be normal, but Zhong Heng sees many problems.

The Dragon King had a nose more than a dog in identifying the Jinpeng killer, but he didn't recognize the two men disguised as servants, but he guessed that Shangguan Jianyi's assassination targets must be the two queens, and there was an unnoticeable contradiction between them.

Although Lin Xiaoshan is loyal, in the Dragon Army, martial arts are not among the first-class, compared to the battle-hardened Dragon Turning Clouds, it is a cut off, and he protects Jiang, which is too big, not like the Dragon King's consistent style.

In the end, Jiang was killed, and the Dragon King got a lot of benefits from it, nominally giving the dead Jiang Zun to satisfy the grief and vanity of the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, arousing their already high hatred for Jinpeng Castle, and at the same time did not offend the five ** people of Xiaoyaohai.

Even Zhong Heng couldn't think of a more ingenious strategy to "solve the problem".

The only victim was Jiang, the innocent girl of the Great Snow Mountain, and perhaps Lin Xiaoshan, his despair and self-blame were written on his face, but his loyalty to the Dragon King in his heart became more and more pure.

Zhong Heng deeply regretted Jiang, and respected the Dragon King even more, this is the cleverness and ruthlessness that a hegemon should have, and he is completely down-to-earth.

Since giving up the position of an officer in the Central Plains and serving as the prime minister of Shiguo, Zhong Heng will feel a little uneasy from time to time, the Dragon King is too young, and the hatred in his heart is too heavy, and he may be impulsive and make wrong choices at a critical juncture, assisting such an immature leader, the stakes are a little bigger.

This incident proves that the Dragon King is no worse than the Dubu King in terms of cunning and cunning, and he is even stronger in terms of disguise and packaging.

Zhong Heng felt that he should express this appreciation, so that the Dragon King would not misunderstand what he meant, so he humbly bent down and saluted, "Before the big wedding, the Dragon King should hold a ceremony to officially enthrone the throne and announce it to the world. ”

Gu Shenwei understood that the prime minister's suggestion was to show complete submission, so he nodded noncommittally, "Don't be in a hurry now, let's defeat Shangguan Jianyi first." ”

"Yes. Zhong Heng stopped persuading with interest, no matter what, this suggestion was the first one he put forward, and he would mention it again every once in a while in the future, so that when the Dragon King really succeeds in the battle for hegemony one day, and has possession of the Western Regions, this will be a great achievement, more important than his hard work to gather soldiers, prepare grain and grass, and govern Shiguo.

Zhong Heng knew that most of his duties were unknown, and he was not as good as those generals who charged in front of the Dragon King, so he had to find a unique way to impress the Dragon King with his credits.

In the past, this kind of flattering behavior seemed too impatient, but now, Zhong Heng is more confident in this gamble of life, and is even willing to add some chips.

After Zhong Heng retired, Gu Shenwei's tense heartstrings relaxed a little, and the prime minister's attitude was a new situation, reminding the Dragon King that he must pay special attention to his words and deeds in the future, especially not to repeat the mistakes of Shangguan back then.

Shangguan Ruben was the most popular master of the young killers, at that time everyone believed that she would be more promising than her brother Shangguan Fei, in the early days of leaving Shibao to establish the Kun Society, she did show a lot of leadership temperament, but a series of blows made her become a person, soft-hearted, and questioned the meaning of killing, and the result was that the killers under her subordinates all deviated from morality, and even seriously planned the plan to kill the master.

Gu Shenwei believed that he would not change suddenly like Shangguan Ru, but the requirements of the leaders under his command were also much higher than those of the small group of young killers at the beginning.

The slightest hint of unintentional kindness can be seen as a precursor to weakness, triggering unexpected betrayal.

Only then did Gu Shenwei realize how much risk he was taking, and he had to end this matter as soon as possible.

On the tenth day of Jiang's death, the Dragon King personally led a thousand direct troops and a thousand reserve troops to Huiguo to conquer the invaders.

Although the wedding had not yet taken place, the princess was still on the tower as the future queen, wearing a plain dress to express her condolences for the other queen who died young, and behind her a dense row of dragon and red crow flags, like two wings growing on her body.

Those who have little confidence in war see ominous in the princess, but the warriors with high morale feel tragedy.

Fang Wen was riding on a horse and secretly glanced back, among the crowd, he was the only one who saw the princess.

The dragon king agreed to the plan of the military advisor and decided to send him as an envoy to the North Court, first pave the way with money, and wait until next year's decisive battle to determine the winner, and immediately start an action to express the intention of unity to the old Khan King of the North Court.

Simply taking refuge in Beiting or the Central Plains, the final result is more than worth the loss, Fang Wen believes that there is always a narrow and tortuous path between the two powers, which can benefit from both sides at the same time, while maintaining independence and security, and he also believes that he has the ability to point out this path.

Gu Shenwei decided to let the military advisor try.

He is a lone pawn in a distant position, and while it does not help the situation at hand, it may provide the strength he needs most in the near future.

Half a month later, the 2,000 Dragon Army arrived in Huiguo, just in time for the most tense moment of the war.

Hui **min guarded the capital alone, and as soon as they sent messengers, they began to calculate the time, and before the rescue was due, they were ready to surrender to the enemy outside the city.

Surrendering to any strong enemy has become the way of survival for the five countries of Xiaoyaohai.

It is actually a bit reluctant to call the besiegers the Jinpeng Army, this is a team composed of bandits, swordsmen, and refugees from the Western Regions, but more than 1,000 people, holding the self-made Jinpeng flag to bluff, I heard that the middle-aged men of the sea were all captured by the Dragon King as soldiers, concentrated in the stone country, and the other four countries guarded the emptiness, so they rushed to burn and loot.

This is a typical rabble, the purpose of the siege is only to rob the contents inside, and when they find that the gates are closed and the walls are high, they are all helpless, and they will only curse and fight outside the walls.

Even so, the king and ministers of Huiguo did not think of taking the initiative to face the battle, anyway, the food in the city was still sufficient for the time being, they just waited for the rescue of the dragon king, and this kind of waiting did not have much patience.

Therefore, when Gu Shenwei arrived with his army, he found that the real enemy was not the besieger, and this so-called army saw the large cloud of dust raised by the horses' hooves from afar, and immediately withdrew from the siege, broke into pieces, scattered into several small bandits, and fled for their lives.

The person who obstructed the dragon army was the monarch of Huiguo.

Finding that the besieging enemy army was so vulnerable, they regretted that they had brought in reinforcements, so they sent messengers with some gifts, and then turned around and refused to allow the army to enter the city.

Gu Shen's efforts to unite the five countries of Xiaoyaohai have only achieved some results in Shiguo, and have not yet affected the westernmost region.

It is impossible for the enemy army to be commanded by Shangguan Jianyi, as soon as he found out about this fact, Gu Shenwei already planned to leave part of the garrison and return to Shiguo quickly, but the cold attitude of the Huiguo people made him change his mind.

Huiguo guarded the entrance and exit to the west of the Xiaoyao Sea, although this road was not conducive to the passage of the army, but it was also an important strategic position, and it was a big mistake to leave it to a group of half-hearted and weak people to guard.

Gu Shenwei planned to stay for a while longer to completely plug this loophole.

The dragon king received the envoys of Huiguo very politely, and did not insist on entering the city, but only asked them to provide the necessary food and grass every day to assist the dragon army in exterminating the bandits in the country.

The bandits were scattered, many of them had already rushed into other countries, but Gu Shenwei did not rush to catch up, but went straight to the edge of the desert, where there used to be a simple sentry, and the guards were only a hundred, and as soon as the bandits came, they all ran away.

This gap must be plugged, and the Dragon King ordered to levy the people in the capital of Huiguo and build a real city on the border, not too big, but enough to resist foreign enemies.

From here, go deep into the passage to Shule country, until the life-saving spring seven days away, set up a number of sentry posts, with fireworks as a signal, you can quickly find the enemy's traces, especially near the life-saving spring, there are more guards, once a large number of enemies are found, the only task is to put dirt and poison in the spring.

It takes time to build a city, burning bricks and cutting stones is too slow, the locals are used to building walls with wicker mixed with mud, these two materials are everywhere, and the new border city is also built in this way, not to be tall and strong, as long as it can block it for a while, reinforcements will naturally arrive in the rear.

During this period, Gu Shenwei sent two detachments of 500 people each to march in the north and south directions respectively to surround the territory of Huiguo and exterminate the scattered bandits.

Everything is in progress, and Gu Shen squeezes out time to see off the military advisor.

You can't be too shabby to be a lobbyist in Beiting, but you have to pass through the territory of Jinpeng Fort on the way, and you can't be too public, Gu Shenwei only sent three entourages, but he gave the military advisor a lot of silver tickets that could be exchanged, and some gold.

Fang Wen finally realized his long-cherished wish and was able to freely dispose of a sum of money like a real strategist, but he didn't have much excitement in his heart, "Dragon King, I'm waiting for your good news in Beiting, and you're also waiting for my good news in Xiaoyaohai." ”

The atmosphere of the separation was somewhat dignified, and when he walked into the desert, Fang Wen was gradually recovering as a strategist in his heart, and he wanted to chant a sentence of "Feng Xiao Xiaoxi" to the Dragon King in a long voice, but when he turned his head, he found that the Dragon King did not stay in place to see him, and the mood of the poem was all gone.

Gu Shenwei is not just a military advisor who wants to send him away.

After these days of suffering, Lin Xiaoshan has become a skeletal figure, thin and changed, but his expression has become more and more determined and fearless.

Everyone else was avoiding death, but he wanted to take the initiative to meet him, but without the permission of the Dragon King, he couldn't do it.

Fang Wen left during the day, while Lin Xiaoshan left at night, knowing nothing about the trip before leaving.

"You've always said you're going to die, are you ready now?" the dragon king summoned him alone, asking a straightforward question.

Lin Xiaoshan thought that he was going to send him to suppress the bandits, so he immediately said: "People and knives are ready." ”

"Good. Gu Shenwei stared at Lin Xiaoshan, through the tests and observations of these days, it has been proved that the loyalty of the young swordsman is basically reliable, and it is difficult to find a second suitable person, "I want you to go to the Central Plains, go incognito, find out information for me, and never return to the Western Regions again, it will be like death, are you willing?"

Lin Xiaoshan was surprised, this was too different from the task he imagined, "I ......"

"You can disagree, I'll give you another task. ”

Lin Xiaoshan knelt down on one leg, "I am willing, as long as it is beneficial to the Dragon King, even if it is to hell, I am willing." ”

"You will be very beneficial to me in the Central Plains. Gu Shenwei had already decided to put another chess piece in a farther position, but he had to ensure that this chess piece was not only loyal, but also energetic, "There is one person, you take it with you, and never send it back." ”

It was this person who became a hot potato in Gu Shenwei's hands, and he had to be sent away unconsciously.
