Wei Rui waited all night, and finally waited for Xing Luan's retreating army, he ordered his subordinates to prepare for defense, and he and Fan Jun slowly walked in front of Xing Luan's army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xing Luan saw that Wei Rui came to the front of the two armies with only one entourage, he understood Wei Rui's intention with a slight groan, and he and Ah Danzhen drove their horses forward slowly, and the four of them were less than a foot apart before they slowly stopped.

After Wei Rui got off his horse, he bowed his hand and said, "Wei Huaiwen has seen Lord Xing Luan. ”

After Xing Luan saw him dismount, he hurriedly dismounted and returned the salute: "General Wei is like this, but he really killed me, I, Xing Luan, can see General Wei's heroic appearance again today, it can be said that I am fortunate in three lives." ”

Wei Rui smiled and said: "It's really impossible to say that Sansheng is lucky, but it is really not easy for you and me to steal these little leisure in this time of war." ”

Xing Luan did not relax his vigilance in his heart, but his expression was extremely relaxed: "The army behind General Wei is tight inside and loose outside." ”

Wei Rui laughed: "Lord Xing came back from Yongzhou, naturally I have seen Emperor Chaowu, presumably Emperor Chaowu has already explained to my lordship, since the Zhongli War, you and I should take a break, open border trade, and the people of the two countries communicate with each other, isn't it a good thing?"

"General Wei only brought one cronie here, does it mean that these are innocuous things?" Xing Luan knew that Wei Rui must have something very important to discuss with him at this time, so he left the army.

"I have heard for a long time that Lord Xing is a rare master of strategy in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he really deserves his reputation when he sees it today. ”

"Alas---- General Wei is the smartest man I have ever met. Xing Luan could hear that Wei Rui was sincerely appreciating himself, but he was not happy at all.

Wei Rui Zhengse said: "I, Wei Huaiwen, have nothing extraordinary, Lord Xing's defeat today is not in my hands, but in the hands of my Emperor Wu, just imagine that if Lord Xing also gets the help of your Northern Wei Emperor, he will definitely achieve a corresponding victory, this ideal must be understood by Lord Xing." ”

Xing Luan was silent, he knew that what Wei Rui said was true, in recent years, Na Yuan Ke has been willful in the court, and he doesn't care about the life or death of the people of Li at all, and allows Cui Liang and other shameless villains to slander the loyal and good people, so that hundreds of officials in the court dare not speak out, and who else dares to tell the truth in front of him, and although Emperor Wu of Southern Liang has been obsessed with Buddhism for many years, he is not confused in big things, he is still a good emperor when he should be an emperor, which is a hundred times stronger than that Yuan Ke.

"General Wei, what do you have to say to me?" Xing Luan finally asked.

Wei Rui pondered for a moment before speaking: "Presumably, my emperor has already made it clear to your lord that I want to bring that Xiao Zong back to my beam. ”

Xing Luan nodded: "Emperor Wu did mention to me that he wanted Xiao Zong to return to Southern Liang, but ---- that Xiao Zong was extremely seriously injured at this time, and he would not ---- until after the injury was healed and I discussed it with General Yuan."

"Lord Xing. Wei Rui had already heard Xing Luan's hesitation, he knew that he had to explain this matter to him at this time, Xing Luan happily handed over Xiao Zong, "You must have concerns in your heart, so you refused to agree to me to the emperor, I don't know if what Huaiwen said is correct." ”

Xing Luan didn't answer, of course he couldn't casually agree to the hostile party's request, although Xiao Zong defected to Nanliang, but how to deal with him still has to be decided by the emperor, he is just a small big platform, how can he act instead of the emperor.

"Lord Xing, I hope that you will strive to complete this matter in front of the emperor of your country. ”

"General Wei has said too much, how I deal with the emperor, that's not what I Xing Luan said, this matter of imperial power is not something you and I can control. Xing Luan was already displeased at this time.

"What if our two countries exchange?" Xing Luan's displeasure was also expected by Wei Rui, if Xing Luan happily agreed to himself, he would look down on this big banker.

"Exchange?" Xing Luan sighed in his heart, he didn't understand why Wei Rui suddenly proposed the exchange.

"How about exchanging Yuan Xiang for Xiao Zong?" Wei Rui asked with a smile.

"Yuan Xiang?"

"General Yuan is not dead?"

Xing Luan and Ah Dan Zhen asked almost at the same time, Xing Luan was very excited after hearing this, he always thought that the girl was unlikely to survive, but he didn't expect to learn her whereabouts from Wei Rui's mouth, his ecstasy could no longer be hidden, he asked eagerly: "Where is she?

Wei Rui nodded lightly: "Miss Yuanxiang is fine, but we have to wait until the second prince's injury is stabilized before we can exchange." ”

Xing Luan realized that he had just lost his temper, he hurriedly stabilized his mood, nodded and agreed: "Okay, after Xiao Zong's injury improves, be sure to exchange the two of them." ”

Wei Rui waited all night, just to wait for his words, he was naturally very happy in his heart, but seeing the concern in Xing Luan's eyes, he suddenly thought of himself, his concern for Fan Jun was no different from the Xing Luan in front of him.

"Then we will make a decision, and I hope that Lord Xing will inform our army when the specific time comes. ”

"General Wei, rest assured, I will keep my promise of what Xing Luan promised, but I ---- hope you treat Yuan Xiang well. ”

"Lord Xing, can you tell me who Yuan Xiang is?" Wei Rui asked with a smile.

"Ah---- this, doesn't General Wei know?" Xing Luan looked at Wei Rui with suspicion.

"Huaiwen doesn't know, and I hope the adults will tell me one or two. Wei Rui had to verify that his inner thoughts were true.

"She is the sister of General ---- Yuanying!" Xing Luan had to answer him.

"Ah---- I see, thank you Lord Xing. Lord Xing relaxes, I, Wei Huaiwen, will definitely return Yuan Xiang to Zhao. ”

"Then it's a deal!"

"A gentleman's word, a horse is hard to chase!" replied Wei Rui.

When Xing Luan got back on his horse, he hesitated for a moment and turned around, he stared at Fan Jun and asked, "General Wei, who is this young general next to you?"

"Ah, he's my son Wei Ling!" Wei Rui didn't tell Fan Jun's true identity, he still had a lot of concerns about Fan Jun's position in the army.

"It seems that your son is indeed a general, and when he wanted to come to Yuanxiang to attack Shaoyang City, it was General Wei Ling who led people to stop it. Xing Luan suddenly remembered that when Yuan Xiang fought for the first time, he must have been defeated in his hands.

"It's down there!" Fan Jun wondered how he could guess what kind of battle he had fought.

Xing Luan looked at Wei Rui and let out a long sigh: "After the defeat of Yuan Xiang, I once said that if the youth is strong, the country will be strong, and you Nanliang have such a heroic young man rushing to the front, can our army be undefeated?"

Wei Rui nodded approvingly: "Lord Xing, just by what you said just now, I, Wei Huaiwen, admire you very much, there are few people in the world who can see through these things, you are indeed outstanding." ”

Xing Luan smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that there are too few talents like General Wei Ling in my court. ”

He turned around and got on the war horse, and bowed his hand and said, "Farewell, General Wei, after Xiao Dashuai recovers, I will definitely send someone to inform General Wei of the time and place!"

Wei Rui hurriedly replied: "Thank you Lord Xing for that." ”

"Farewell!"

"Good go, adults!"

Wei Ruiren ordered the army to get out of the way and let Xing Luan's army pass. Fan Jun saw that many soldiers were a little overwhelmed, and asked a little puzzled: "Father-in-law, attacking Xingluan's army at this time will definitely wipe them out, do you really want to let them go?"

Wei Rui shook his head gently: "If you kill Xing Luan today, there will be two, three, or even more Xing Luan in the future, and the war between the two countries will be endless, and now that the national strength is weak, if you continue to fight, I am afraid that no one will know what the result will be? By then, how many people will lose their sons? How many people will lose their lands and homes? Jun'er, you can't go on----

Fan Jun also fell silent after hearing this, and they just watched Xing Luan's army go farther and farther.

After Wei Rui saw Xing Luan's army leaving, he suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly ordered Fan Jun: "You go back to Zhong Li immediately." ”

"Father-in-law, why are you in such a hurry?" asked Fan Jun puzzled.

"I'm worried about the safety of Yuan Xiang now, if she dies in our hands, not only will Xiao Zong not be able to come back, but I'm afraid that the war between the two countries will break out again. Wei Rui said anxiously.

Fan Jun was also anxious after hearing this, that Yuan Xiang's fiery temper, I was afraid that the doctors who treated her would not be able to subdue it at all, and there was no longer a long and two short---- he thought of this, and hurriedly urged the horse to run in the direction of Zhongli.
