Gongsun Weiqing wants to marry the princess...... Yang Fanhai was stunned, the princess that Huangfu Shaowei said was naturally Princess Jinglu. After being stunned, he immediately said with great annoyance: "What does he want to play?"

Huangfu Shaowei shook his head: "I don't know what he wants to play, but according to reliable information, Gongsun Shaodian is a little moved, and it seems that he really wants to make do with it." ”

Yang Fanhai immediately said loudly: "What are you playing? Didn't Gongsun Xuanyuan say that the affairs of the Duke of Jiguo are all in his own hands?

"Is this casual? Is this anyone?" asked Huangfu Shaowei, then shook his head and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go back first." ”

shook the wooden box in his hand, and sighed again: "Lao Tzu has never come out to be a thing in his life, it is really more difficult than fighting." By the way, how the Battle of Qingzhou and the Battle of Chentangguan were fought, tell me about it. ”

The two talked as they walked, and they had arrived at the Jiguo Mansion in a short time.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Zhang Xiao came out of the door, saw Yang Fanhai, was stunned, and then hurriedly pulled Yang Fanhai to approach the Jiguo Mansion, and at the same time said to Huangfu Shaowei: "Hurry up and see if anyone is following!"

"Track!" Huangfu Shaowei was a little puzzled, but he still listened to what he said, stopped at the door and did not go in, looking left and right.

After entering the gate, Zhang Xiao said to Yang Fanhai: "Why did you come back so directly?"

"Ah, is there a problem?" Yang Fanhai blinked his eyes, extremely puzzled: "The battle of Chentangguan has ended, 200,000 troops are guarding there, the Ghost Fang tribe will definitely not attack again for the time being, why should I go if I don't come back?"

"You...... It's really ......" Zhang Xiao smiled and shook his head: "I always thought that you were strong and a little frizzy, but now it seems that you don't understand the rules at all!"

"What rules?" Yang Fanhai hurriedly asked.

"Generals who are out fighting are not allowed to return to Kyoto casually, which is a taboo in officialdom. Especially in your case, every move should be cautious and subtle. ”

Zhang Xiao immediately explained to him that whether it was a general who led the army to go out on the expedition or a general who was in charge of the defense, he was not allowed to come back casually, even if it was Gongsun Xuanyuan.

Either there is a special reason, or it is a triumphant return, or you have to ask for instructions in advance, otherwise it will be regarded as having bad intentions.

"You shouldn't have let anyone else know, right?" asked Zhang Xiao.

Yang Fanhai shook his head: "I know this, let's not talk about this first." Huangfu Shaowei said that Gongsun Weiqing wants to bring up the matter of the princess, do you know?

Zhang Xiao nodded: "Naturally, I know! The purpose is very simple, the first one is to make you uncomfortable, and the second one is to catch you in my hands." ”

"Take me?" Yang Fanhai became more and more confused the more he listened, the first purpose he could understand, and the second ...... It's a bit confusing.

"Hehe!" Zhang Xiao smiled: "No matter who you are, you can see that you are very important Princess Jinglu, can you stay in Youxiong Country, I'm afraid that only a few points are for yourself, and most of them are for the princess?"

"The battle of the royal family is cruel and bloody, especially in the case of Gongsun Weiqing and Gongsun Xuanyuan, it can be said that in the end, only one can survive. ”

"Once Gongsun Weiqing marries Princess Jinglu and becomes his father-in-law, and has children. Even if Princess Jinglu will resent Gongsun Weiqing, for the sake of her children, she will never stand on the side of Gongsun Xuanyuan. ”

"When it comes to the final infighting, once Gongsun Weiqing is defeated, not only will he be ruined, but his wife and children will be buried with him, including Princess Jinglu and his children. Think for yourself, what will you do when that time comes?"

How to do it...... Yang Fanhai finally understood that when that day came, he might really have to help Gongsun Weiqing for Princess Jinglu.

Seeing that Yang Fanhai didn't speak, Zhang Xiao smiled: "It seems to be the same as what I thought." Gongsun Weiqing himself is not stupid, and there should be someone around him to assist, so he came up with such a method, killing two birds with one stone, and now it depends on how you take it. ”

"But Gongsun Xuanyuan promised me that he wouldn't let the princess do such a thing!"

Yang Fanhai said very dissatisfied, at this moment he had a feeling of being deceived, and he was extremely unhappy.

"Actually, Gongsun Xuanyuan has done his best!" Zhang Xiao said: "Actually, when you just left Kyoto, someone once made a statement to King Gongsun Shaodian, saying that there was a marriage contract between the Duke of Jiguo and the Duke of Changguo. Now that both countries have become members of the bear country, they should close to each other to promote relations between the two governments. ”

"Needless to say, this is naturally Gongsun Weiqing behind the back. However, Gongsun Shaodian rejected this proposal because Gongsun Xuanyuan had promised you that no one would mention it in the future. ”

It's just that Gongsun Weiqing couldn't make a plan and made another plan, so he made this suggestion again. This time, King Gongsun Shaodian did not make a direct decision, but began to consider the feasibility of this matter. And it is rumored that once Gongsun Shaodian really agrees to this matter, Princess Jinglu will not be an ordinary wife, and it is very likely that she will be directly made the concubine of Gongsun Weiqing. ”

"Why?" Yang Fanhai was puzzled.

"Good reputation!" Zhang Xiao explained: "Princess Jinglu is kind and charitable, and has an excellent reputation, don't say that in your Ji Kingdom, even if it is my Tang Kingdom or even the Bear Kingdom, there are many people who know about it." Coupled with the princess's gentle and skillful temperament, in terms of these aspects, she is undoubtedly the best candidate for the princess. ”

"And as I said earlier, you are also related to Princess Jinglu...... and those of us who have been incorporated under your command. ”

"Now in Gongsun Shaodian's heart, his successor should be Gongsun Weiqing, but even we all know that it is not so easy for Gongsun Weiqing to take over his position, because Gongsun Xuanyuan is too good. ”

"He must prepare a group of people for Gongsun Weiqing who can fight against Gongsun Xuanyuan in advance, such as the most elite people who are fighting against the Wu Clan and Zhu Guo, such as some potential future rookies. ”

"It didn't take you more than a few months to take Qingzhou, and you won the battle of Chentangguan, don't say that you will surrender to the general, even if there is Xiong Guo itself, only Gongsun Xuanyuan can compare with you. ”

"Once Princess Jinglu is married to Gongsun Weiqing, it is equivalent to finding a group of good subordinates for him, such a good thing, if it were me, I would also consider it like this. ”

Hearing what Zhang Xiao said, Yang Fanhai was stunned for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "My battle ...... Shouldn't you win?"

"Not really!" Zhang Xiao shook his head: "The greater your combat achievements and higher your status, the more active we can be." There are many things that you have to face. ”

"Then what should I do now?" Yang Fanhai asked, "Is there a way?"

"Of course, there is a way, but I can't think of it all at once. Zhang Xiao frowned and said: "The affairs of the royal family are very complicated, but they are also very simple, in the final analysis, the first thing is always interests." ”

"We see this as a transaction, now Princess Jinglu is a bargaining chip, Gongsun Shaodian thinks that handing over this bargaining chip to Gongsun Weiqing is a good deal, if you want to refuse, you have to give him a bigger bargaining chip, so that he feels that it is more appropriate to accept your deal, and he will naturally not agree. ”

Bigger chips and stakes...... Yang Fanhai frowned and thought about it, thinking about what he could come up with.

Zhang Xiao said suddenly: "Actually, there is one thing you haven't confirmed yet: whether Princess Jinglu herself is willing, if she is willing, does it make sense for you to stir up and go like this?"

This...... Yang Fanhai took a deep breath, he really wasn't sure.

"The country of thistle is gone, this is a fact, there is no chance to revive the rivers and mountains at all. If Princess Jinglu marries Gongsun Weiqing, the royal bloodline of the Ji Kingdom is equivalent to continuing to inherit the royal family in another way. If it were the county lord of another country's government, I am afraid that I would be overjoyed......"

Zhang Xiao said slowly, although the words were very coarse, but I am afraid that this is the case.

"I don't want to ......" At this time, Princess Jinglu's voice suddenly came from not far away, and at the same time said in surprise: "General Yang, you are back!"

"Ah, princess!" Yang Fanhai was shocked, he was really disturbed, otherwise it would be impossible not to even notice that Princess Jinglu was coming.

Talking behind his back, but he was caught, and for a while he felt like a thief, his face instantly turned red, and he hurriedly saluted: "My subordinates meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"I'm the county lord now!" Princess Jinglu wanted to stride over, but after enduring it, she still walked over slowly, and said softly: "It's good to be back, General Yang, I don't want to marry Gongsun Weiqing, you help me think of a way." ”

"I ......" Yang Fanhai wanted to respond, but he couldn't think of a way in his heart and couldn't lie.

"County Lord!" Zhang Xiao on the side said: "Don't worry, I will think of a way." But now General Yang can't stay here anymore. He needs to go to the east of the city to wait for Xu Fan's army, and then enter the city together, otherwise there will be some trouble. ”

"Trouble!" Princess Jinglu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "General Yang, didn't you come back with the army?"

Yang Fanhai nodded: "I'll come back first, I'm sorry, princess, I have to go out of the city now, and I'll come to the Jiguo Mansion to discuss with you later." ”

"Okay, okay, you go quickly, don't let people know!" Princess Jinglu hurriedly urged, she was a royal family, even if she was simple, she still knew these rules.

After Yang Fanhai saluted again, he retreated. After leaving the Jiguo Mansion, he sneaked out of Zhengcheng and waited in the woods five miles outside the east gate.

A wave has not settled, and a wave has risen, Yang Fanhai is very speechless.

It turns out that war does not necessarily have to be done with real swords and guns, and this kind of war without seeing the cold light of the blade makes him even more distressed.

Intrigue and exhaustion, thinking about it, he would rather face an opponent like a hundred Ghost Fang clan leaders than lie in this kind of battle without the light of the sword.

This time, how to resolve the ...... After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't find an answer.

After waiting for two days, Xu Fan finally appeared with a large army.
