In the big tent, only the breathing sound of the two could be heard, Wei Rui nodded secretly in his heart, this Lord He Chenhe has been an official in the court for many years, and the things he has experienced are not as good as ordinary people, he can think of this layer, it seems that he is indeed an extremely smart and cautious official.

"Lord He, if there is no real evidence for this matter, you can't talk nonsense. Wei Rui preached slowly.

"Alas------ how can I not know? Originally, I didn't think about it so much, but it was only after my junior brother entered Beijing that I faintly realized that someone was forcing him to enter Beijing, and what happened after entering Beijing was even more incredible, and Mrs. Na Hui was staring at the Fan family to death, which still makes people feel incredible when they think about it. He Chen remembered the hatred in Mrs. Hui's eyes that day, and he still felt creepy.

"Lord He, who do you think has the most power among these beams?" Wei Rui asked suddenly.

"This ------ is naturally the emperor, but it's just ------" He Chen hesitated, now this world is the world of the current emperor Xiao Yan, but the emperor often goes to Tongtai Temple to become a monk, and the affairs of the court up and down are all handed over to the sixth prince Xiao Hong, if you talk about the real power in your hands, He Chen naturally wants to talk more about Xiao Hong's hands, but he doesn't dare to say these words to Wei Rui.

"How did I hear that since Lord He entered Beijing, he has been very close to the prince?" Wei Rui said slowly, "I'm afraid that Lord He still has something ----- don't understand about this matter of imperial power." ”

"This ------" He Chen suddenly got stuck, unable to continue.

"Lord He, you came to me tonight to be honest with me, talking about your junior brother, Wei thanked Lord He for his trust in me, but I Wei Rui will not interfere in the affairs of the Fan family, and Huaiwen has a heartfelt word, I hope Lord He can listen: This Fan family's affairs, you had better not interfere. ”

"However, if I stand by and watch, I can't bear it. He Chen sighed and said.

"Lord He listened to my advice, put this matter down, and did things next to the emperor. If Wei's expectation is good, your junior brother Yuncheng is afraid that he will not want you to meddle in this matter, and he wants you to stay away. ”

He Chen looked at Wei Rui dumbfounded after hearing this, and couldn't understand why Wei Rui spoke like this, but according to his understanding of Fan Yuncheng, he would definitely be able to do it.

"Alas------ I'm really ashamed that I He Chen is incompetent and can't solve problems for my junior brother. ”

"No, Lord He, some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, and you can only see the truth when things really come to light! Lord He, if you really want to do something for the Fan family, Wei hopes that one day, you can write a note for Wei, I wonder if Lord He can agree?" Wei Rui asked.

"This, as long as General Wei speaks, I, He Chen, will never give up!" He Chen hurriedly agreed.

"Hehe------ Lord He, the last thing I Wei Huaiwen want to hear is this death, in this killing field, I have seen too many lives and deaths. ”

"Thank you General Wei for waking me up He Chen, if General Wei can use me in the future, I will do my best. ”

"Thank you, Lord He!" Wei Rui hurriedly thanked, "If Lord He has something that can't be resolved, just come to Wei, let's find a way." ”

He Chen immediately understood the deep meaning of Wei Rui's words, and he had to admire the General Wei in front of him, which was indeed thoughtful.

"Say goodbye!"

"Don't send it!"

After Wei Rui waited for He Chen to leave, he called Li Zhong into the tent and asked him to invite Fan Jun over.

Fan Jun hurriedly came to Wei Rui's big tent, and Wei Rui asked in a low voice: "You went to the Yuanying army to investigate, did you get anything?"

"Father-in-law, since the emperor's personal conquest, the Yuanying army has slowly moved north with Xing Luan's headquarters, but his army has always maintained a battle formation, and its vigilance is extremely high, and our reconnaissance troops cannot get too close. ”

Wei Rui frowned slightly after hearing this: "Now that the Northern Wei Dynasty's peace war letter has reached the emperor's hands, it seems that Na Yuan Ke doesn't want to continue to fight at this time, and now he can only wait for the emperor's order." ”

"Father-in-law, do you still have anything to worry about?" Fan Jun asked with some worry when he saw Wei Rui's worried appearance.

"Jun'er, you don't know much about this Yuan Ying of the Northern Wei Dynasty, I'm afraid you don't know too much, that Yuan Ying is a fierce general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he has never lost a battle for many years, and he can't imagine that he has fallen under Zhongli City, this is the biggest stain on his life, with his arrogant character, how can he accept it in a short time? He is the king of Zhongshan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, he is different from Xing Luan, and Xing Luan will not be punished by the emperor after he goes back, but Yuan Ying is different, he and Yang Dayan are facing a much more sad situation than that Xing Luan. ”

"But------ isn't Xing Luan also defeated?" Fan Jun asked puzzled.

"Xing Luan just failed to sneak attack Yongzhou, but he didn't really participate in the battle of Zhongli, so Yuan Ke naturally couldn't hold him, and the signal that Xing Luan has been releasing with Daliang these days is to make peace, which is exactly what Yuan Ke wants to see, that Northern Wei Dynasty will not be able to recover its vitality in a short period of time, and the only thing that can be done is to draw land for peace and recuperate. ”

"What my father-in-law said is extremely true!" Fan Jun admired Wei Rui's analysis, he didn't expect Wei Rui to analyze the situation and future trend of the two countries so accurately.

"What I'm most worried about now is that Yuan Ying is soft on the surface, but he still refuses to be convinced in his heart------ if that's the case, I'm afraid that he will do something at that time, which you and I can't imagine." Wei Rui instructed in a low voice, "Jun'er, you still can't stay in the army for a long time, now that the emperor has lost his beloved son, his mood has not improved, if he knows about you, I am afraid that he will be angry with you." Now you listen to my instructions and go ------" Wei Rui listened carefully to Fan Jun's ear about what he needed to do in the future.

After hearing this, Fan Jun nodded solemnly: "Father-in-law, rest assured, I will work hard to do a good job in this matter, and I will never dare to slack off in the slightest." ”

Wei Rui sent Fan Jun out of the big tent and ordered Li Zhong to send him out of the barracks, before he put his mind at ease, at this time he was not worried about Fan Jun, but he was more worried about Fan Jun's father in the capital, that Fan Yuncheng Fan, suddenly took the position of Zhengqing of Dali Temple, I am afraid that the capital at this time will not be as calm as usual, and it is none other than the emperor Xiao Yan who disturbs this pool of troubled waters.

The emperor could have rejected the report of the prince Xiao Hong, suppressed the matter, and discussed it after he returned to the capital, but Xiao Yan did not do it, he just followed Xiao Hong's wishes.

The deep meaning of Xiao Yan's move, I am afraid that few people in this world can guess it, and how smart Wei Rui is, after listening to He Chen's words, he has already guessed all this: that Xiao Yan sent Cao Jingzong to be stationed outside the capital, this deep meaning Xiao Hong is not ignorant, but what if he knows? The emperor drove the expedition in person, although the matter in this family was handed over to Xiao Hong, but if Xiao Hong took the opportunity to do something unfavorable to the emperor, the emperor was far away in the north, and naturally he was out of reach, if there was a confidant minister staring at Xiao Hong near the capital, I was afraid that he would also be afraid and would not show his fox tail so quickly. It's just that since the emperor has made it clear that his sixth brother will act as an agent for all the affairs of the court, there are some things that can make this prince the master, if it is what the prince does in the capital, the emperor who is far away on the border is not allowed, but I am afraid that this prince will jump over the wall in a hurry and will do unexpected things.

Even if Wei Rui figured it out, although Zhu Muzhi was a minister who was extremely trusted by the emperor, Xiao Hong wanted to replace him, Xiao Yan agreed without hesitation, naturally he wanted to relax Xiao Hong's vigilance so that he could give himself enough time to plan the overall situation.

At this time, Xiao Yan was holding the secret letter that Zhu Muzhi had just sent over in his hand, and Zhu Muzhi was in the secret letter, indicating that Fan Yuncheng really wanted to do something to find out the tragedy of Lord Zhang Yuanzhi. That Zhu Muzhi is extremely smart, he didn't say a word about Fan Yuncheng's investigation that someone was going to rebel, that Xiao Yan knew Zhu Muzhi very well, the more he didn't mention the matter, he was afraid that he had already started to act at this time, although he was a little anxious in his heart, but when he thought of Fan Yuncheng's first appointment as the head of Dali Temple, he would inevitably have a mess, and the officials in the capital, large and small, must have all kinds of ideas, this civil strife, the rebel will either take advantage of this civil strife, or will be patient to observe and observe.

Xiao Yan is no longer in a hurry when he thinks of this, whether this Fan Yuncheng can take on this important responsibility depends on what he has done during this time.

"Your Majesty, the Xingluan Department of the Northern Wei Dynasty sent a document for peace. The attendant eunuch reported outside the tent.

Xiao Yan turned around, this is the second time Yuan Ke sent a letter of peace, his army has been chasing along the way for several months, presumably to make the Northern Wei army exhausted, at this time has entered the harsh winter season, the cattle and sheep grazing in the north at this time have been raised in captivity, waiting for the next year's abundant water and grass, before multiplying, under the fierce pursuit of the Great Liang, the Northern Wei Dynasty's grain and grass has become a great problem, if it continues to be consumed like this, I am afraid that the morale of the Northern Wei soldiers will be lower and lower, so Erna Yuan Ke has to lower his stature and make peace with Xiao Yan in order to fight again in the coming year。

At this time, what Xiao Yan was thinking about was one more layer than that Yuan Ke, he ordered someone to bring the document to the table, and then instructed his subordinates: "Spread the will of the Union, and invite the two generals, General Wei and General Chang, to come here." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the eunuch hurried to the two generals.

After Wei Rui and Chang Yizhi received the emperor's command, they hurried to Xiao Yan's big tent, and after the two entered the tent, they saw that Xiao Yan was carefully watching the peace document delivered by Yuan Ke, and the two hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yan hurriedly put down the paperwork in his hand and stepped forward to help the two generals: "Two generals, I, Xiao, am not above the court, I must not make this big gift, get up quickly." ”

"Thank you, Emperor!" Wei Rui and Chang Yizhi stood under Xiao Yan's table after getting up, the two of them didn't know why the emperor wanted to summon the two of them today, and they were more or less apprehensive in their hearts.

Xiao Yan ordered his subordinates to send Yuan Ke's peace document to Wei Rui and Chang Yizhi, and ordered them to take a look: "Two generals, this is the second time that Yuan Ke has sent this peace document, I don't know what the two generals think about this matter?"

Chang Yizhi has been besieged in Zhongli for all these years, so he naturally hopes that the war will end soon, and he is a person with a really good temperament, so after reading it, he replied: "Your Majesty, this Xingluan's army has been chased and beaten by us, and it must be that we are afraid of it, and they can't say the word surrender, so they can only ask for peace." ”

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, he looked sideways at Wei Rui, then Wei Rui stood there without saying a word after reading the paperwork, Xiao Yan's opinion of Wei Rui is different from previous years, Wei Rui in front of him is definitely not the sick man who can't recuperate at home, this person is like a tiger on the battlefield, no one can stop him, this Northern Wei Dynasty soldiers all call him "Wei Hu", and now I see Wei Rui's heroic posture on this battlefield, and he is indeed called this title. And this person is resourceful, in Xiao Yan's opinion, he is no less than Zhuge Kongming in the Three Kingdoms period, but this person is quite low-key and never greedy for merit, so he is not very outstanding in the eyes of everyone, but what kind of person is Xiao Yan, he is the king of a country, and his opinion of Wei Rui is naturally different from ordinary people.

"General Wei, what do you think about this matter?" Xiao Yan asked slowly.

"------Your Majesty, for the matter of Northern Wei Dynasty seeking peace, the last general will ask the emperor to think twice!" Wei Rui saw that the emperor asked himself, and it seemed that he couldn't talk about it, so he reluctantly replied.

"Oh, I don't know why General Wei has such thoughts, you might as well tell me about it. When Xiao Yan heard this, he suddenly perked up.

"Your Majesty, there are two reasons why Yuan Ke sued for peace for the second time: one is that the Northern Wei army and horses are at the end of their strong crossbows at this time, and if they face up to our army again, they are afraid that their combat effectiveness is extremely low, and they are not to be afraid; Wei Rui said slowly.

Chang Yizhi couldn't help but give a thumbs up on the side, this Wei Rui is smarter than him, this thing always makes a few more turns, and the words that Wei Rui said always sound so in place, not only he Chang Yizhi, but even Xiao Yan nodded again and again after hearing it.

"General Wei's words are deeply in line with my opinion, and I also analyze it in this way, so it seems that the soldiers and horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty, we still have to continue to chase for a period of time, and when Yuan Ke asks for peace again, I am afraid that it will be sincere. ”

Wei Rui replied respectfully: "The emperor is really too wise, what I Wei Huaiwen wanted, the emperor has already thought of it, how to do it, then I will ask the emperor to give an order." ”

"The emperor is wise, please give the emperor an order!" Chang Yizhi also echoed on the side.

Xiao Yan shook his head: "Now that the weather is freezing and the earth is freezing, it is not appropriate to send troops to fight, and the two generals must do a good job of defense to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack." General Chang still has to guard Zhongli City, this Zhongli is the gate of the capital, if Zhongli is lost, my beam is lost. ”

"The last general obeys!" Chang Yoshizhi hurriedly agreed.

"Your Majesty, the last general still has something to report to the emperor. Wei Rui pondered on the side for a while, and hurriedly said, "Just now, the last general also wanted to come and inform the emperor of an urgent matter. ”

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Yuan Ke is following the example of my emperor, and at this time he has already driven his own expedition and came to the camp of Xingluan. ”
