Zhangwu, in the camp of the Yuan Qi army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoA member of the Hidden Dragon infiltrated Yuan Qi's tent through the darkness of the night, reported Qi Tian's anomaly to Yuan Qi, and pointed out that Qi Tian might not be able to resist the temptation of Wang Nuo. Although he didn't know Qi Tian's purpose for doing this, Yuan Qi believed that Qi Tian would never disregard brotherhood and really conspire with Wang Nuo. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Qi Tian first joined Ding Li, then Dong Meng, and finally followed under his command, he is an out-and-out rebel, but Yuan Qi knows very well that everything Qi Tian does is a righteous word, and Qi Tian, who is the first in righteousness, will not change his attitude towards Yuan Qi because of fame and fortune. Therefore, for all the changes in Qi Tian, Yuan Qi just smiled indifferently and did not take it to heart.

At the same time, in the central Xianbei camp, the tribal leader Lian Man ushered in an uninvited guest. Looking at the Han people in front of him who were wearing Xianbei clothes, Lian Man asked, "Can your master guarantee that Qi Tian will let us enter the Youhe?" The Han people replied humbly: "Don't worry, my master, Lord Wang Nuo, is the head of the court, and what he says will naturally count." Moreover, in terms of generation, Qi Tian still calls his master a father-in-law. ”

Ruyu is Wang Nuo's righteous daughter, and Qi Tian married Ruyu, which is a well-known thing. After hearing Wang Nuo's envoy's answer, Lian Man was relieved. Among the three Xianbei, Lian Man's power is the weakest, and it is also the best one to win over. This is also where Wang Nuo likes Lian Man to take advantage of. Ambition is something that people will have, not to mention that the son of the former Xianbei King is full. Coincidentally, the person responsible for resisting Xianbei in the middle of Lian Man happened to be Qi Tian, and Wang Nuo had the opportunity to win over on both sides, such an opportunity to tie Qi Tian inside and connect with Lian Man, Wang Nuo would not let go of it, and use Qi Tian and Lian Man to take advantage of the situation to rise, in order to achieve the purpose of holding the authority of the imperial court. can also take the opportunity to overthrow Yuan Qi, Wang Nuo believes that this is a good opportunity given to him by God.

Imagine, when Qi Tian gave up resistance and allowed Lian Man to lead his troops into the territory of Youjing, Yuan Qi's reputation and power would inevitably be dealt a heavy blow, and at that time, Wang Nuo would come forward again, unite Qi Tian to bring down Yuan Qi in one fell swoop, and then reach an agreement with Lian Man in secret. Give Lian Man some benefits, so that Lian Man is satisfied with a large amount of supplies and returns to Xianbei, so that Wang Nuo has become the biggest hero to resist Xianbei, using Yuan Qi as a stepping stone to reach the highest point of power. Anyway, it is impossible for Wang Nuo to get his hands on the materials in the territory of the secluded annex, so he simply took them and promised them to fill them.

Under Wang Nuo's covert operation, Qi Tian intentionally or unintentionally exposed some gaps in the defense. So that the small force of Lian Man can easily avoid the enemy's deployment and invade to a place that is not too deep in the territory of the secluded territory. Lian Man was also very satisfied with Qi Tian's reaction, and repeatedly sent small groups of troops deep into the territory of Youji, and they tacitly understood each other. Just wait for Yuan Qi and Amaiti to confront each other head-on. When the fight is inextricable, Qi Tian and Lian Man will take things from it.

In the dormitory in the capital, Yuan Xie sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face. Silent. Huangfu Chu and Zhu Huan also had poor faces and sighed. At the beginning, it was the two of them who led the troops to recruit the Qingzhou Red Turban Army. Now, Ugong Zhaolie is edict to pacify the Red Turban Army, however, Ugong Zhaolie took the opportunity to hold half of Qingzhou in his own hands, and also used the hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou troops to take Yuzhou in one go, the entire Central Plains except Xuzhou, almost all have fallen into the hands of Yugong Zhaolie, such a situation, for Yuan Xie, is not a good thing, not to mention, at the beginning, under the protection of Huang Fuchu and Zhu Huan, Yuan Xie also added Yugong Zhaolie as a commonplace, now that I think about it, it is simply a slap in the face.

With a long sigh, Yuan Xie said with remorse: "At the beginning, Emperor Yuan Qi told me several times that Ugong Zhaolie had great ambitions and must not be reused, but now the words of the imperial brother have become true, and I regret not listening to the words of the imperial brother, so that this Ugong Zhaolie has become bigger." Huangfu Chu sighed: "Holy Lord, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. The old minister didn't expect that Ugong Zhaolie seemed to be loyal on the face, but in fact he had wolf ambitions! Now that Ugong Zhaolie has become bigger, the saint still needs to be patient and focus on appeasing him. ”

Zhu Huan continued: "What's even more infuriating is that the general ministers in the court, headed by Wang Nuo, can't see the true face of Ugong Zhaolie clearly, and even admires Ugong Zhaolie, alas, you must know that Ugong Zhaolie is in Xuchang, and you can reach the capital in a moment, once Ugong Zhaolie plots wrong, the capital is in danger." After a pause, Zhu Huan continued: "However, at present, it seems that Ugong Zhaolie has no intention of establishing himself as the king, and the saint does not need to worry too much. After the champion Hou pacified the northern frontier, the saint could secretly discuss the matter with the champion Hou. ”

Yuan Xie looked up in the direction of the northern frontier and sighed: "Yuan Qi's imperial brother is fighting to the death against foreign races in the northern frontier, but I am trapped in the palace, and I can't live in fear. Compared with the imperial brother, I am really ashamed. As soon as it came to Yuan Qi, Yuan Xie suddenly remembered something and asked Huang Fuchu and Zhu Huan: "By the way, I heard that the recent merger of the state under the command of the imperial brother Qi Tian behaved strangely, and seemed to be conniving at foreign races, but is there such a thing?"

Huangfu Chu and Zhu Huan glanced at each other, and wanted to say a few good words about Qi Tian in front of Yuan Xie, but Ugong Zhaolie's lesson was in front of him, and it was precisely because of the two of them that Ugong Zhaolie took advantage of the situation to rise. Privately occupying states and counties is a different story than fornicating with aliens. Unomiya Terulie occupies the Central Plains, at most it is an internal contradiction, but if Qi Tian fornicates with a different race, then the problem will be big.

Seeing the embarrassed faces of the two old ministers in front of him, Yuan Xie sighed softly again, as if talking to himself and as if he was saying to the two old ministers: "I, I believe in Qi Tian." Because Qi Tian is the eldest brother of the Yuan Qi Emperor's brother, I believe in the emperor's brother. No matter what happens, I trust Brother Huang to deal with it calmly. ”

In the Zhangwu camp, the figure of the Qianlong member appeared in front of Yuan Qi again: "Lord, Qi Tian is getting more and more excessive, and even several small forces that have been filled with Lian Lian have entered the territory of Youji without permission. "The role of the hidden dragon is irreplaceable, after a series of training, the hidden dragon has begun to bear fruit, in the north of the Yellow River, nothing can easily hide from their spying.

Yuan Qi used to meet with the members of the Hidden Dragon. is always alone, but this time is different, Yuan Qi specially called Zhuge Liang over and asked Zhuge Liang to analyze what went wrong on Qi Tian's side. After listening to the return of the Hidden Dragon members, Zhuge Liang frowned and bowed his head silently. Seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance, Yuan Qi knew that he had something to say, so he waved his hand to let the members of the hidden dragon retreat.

When there were only two people left in the big tent, Yuan Qi and Zhuge Liang, Yuan Qi opened his mouth and said, "Kong Ming, this matter. What do you think?" Zhuge Liang replied with some hesitation: "Lord, Lord and Qi Tian are brothers. There are some words that Liang should not trespass. However, at present, the situation is turbulent, and the alien races in northern Xinjiang are affected by natural disasters and invade the south on a large scale. There was a pause. After thinking about the wording for a while, Zhuge Liang continued with careful consideration: "Perhaps, someone secretly added fuel to the fire and promised Qi Tian some benefits. made Qi Tian waver. Lord, this is an extraordinary moment, Liang thinks that the lord should immediately recall Qi Tian and send others to resist Lian Man. ”

Hearing that even Zhuge Liang said the same, Yuan Qi helplessly reached out and rubbed his forehead. In recent days. He'd heard several people say that. Including Jia Yuan, who is good at perceiving people's hearts, also sent a letter to Yuan Qi specifically for this matter, asking Yuan Qi to replace Qi Tian and change Zhang Chong to lead the army to resist Lian Man.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Qi slowly raised his head, looked at Zhuge Liang seriously, and said in a low but firm voice: "Changing commanders in battle is a taboo for soldiers, and the position of the eldest brother cannot be withdrawn." I believe that the eldest brother must have his own ideas when he does this, and the eldest brother will not betray so. ”

Zhuge Liang said anxiously when he heard this: "But people's hearts will change, Qi Tian is the eldest brother of the lord, but he has to obey the lord's orders, and after a long time, he will not be dissatisfied?" Yuan Qi stretched out his hand to stop Zhuge Liang's words and said: "Kong Ming, there is no need to mention this matter again." So-and-so still said that so-and-so, and so-and-so believed that the eldest brother would not betray so-and-so. Even if it is a gamble, a certain is willing to bet the treasure on the eldest brother will not betray this side. ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Yuan Qi and muttered: "The lord is a big gamble, the stakes are a little too big. Yuan Qi slowly stood up, turned his back to Zhuge Liang, looked at the place where Qi Tian was garrisoned, and was silent for a long time.

Just as Yuan Qi was talking to Zhuge Liang, Qi Tian was also discussing things with another person. In Qi Tian's big tent, a scribe in his thirties sat in front of Qi Tian and said softly: "Has the general really decided to do this? ”

"Gongtai, although you have been under a certain command for a short time, you should know very well what kind of person you are, and what you decide, you will never change, even if you are ruined, you don't care. Qi Tian replied in the same firm tone as Yuan Qi.

Gongtai is Chen Palace, a native of Wuyang, Dongjun. Chen Gong was upright and resourceful, and he had dealings with many celebrities when he was young. Later, he served as the official position of the county commander, and when Ugong Terulie failed to assassinate Dong Meng, he escaped from the capital alone, and Chen Gong was impressed by Unomiya Terulie's feat, so he abandoned the official and followed Ugong Terulie. Later, Ugong Zhaolie and Chen Gong stayed at the house of Ugong Zhaolie's father's sworn brother Lu Boyao, and heard the sound of sharpening knives in the middle of the night, Yugong Zhaolie mistakenly thought that Lu Boyao was going to kill himself and asked Dong Meng for credit, so he didn't ask about the indiscriminate, drew his sword and killed all the Lu Boyao family, and killed the whole Lu family, Ugong Zhaolie and Chen Gong found out that there was a pig tied in the backyard of the Lu family, and it turned out that the Lu family wanted to kill the pig to entertain Ugong Zhaolie.

Seeing that the big mistake was made, Ugong Zhaolie immediately fled from the Lu family with Chen Gong, but met Lu Boyao who returned from drinking on the way, Ugong Zhaolie couldn't help but say that he stabbed Lu Boyao to death with a sword, Chen Gong asked Ugong Zhaolie why he still killed him, and Ugong Zhaolie returned coldly: I'd rather I bear the people of the world, and stop teaching the people of the world to bear me.

Since then, Chen Gong thought that Ugong Terulie had killed too much, so he left Ugong Terulie and wandered around the rivers and lakes, only to join Qi Tian's command not long ago. Because of his resourcefulness and deep Qi Tian's weight, he became the first strategist under Qi Tian's account.

At this moment, Chen Gong saw that Qi Tian was resolute, and he was not good at persuading anything, so he could only sigh and say in a low voice: "I hope the general's decision is correct......"
