Three-eighth-sixth Recruitment(1/2)

When Xiao Buyi said that Princess Wuyou, Wei Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

Wei Zheng actually admired Xiao Buyi very much, and felt that this person was a rare wise ruler. Since Yanshi met, Wei Zheng felt that Xiao Buyi was humble and had wisdom that ordinary people could not reach, and was even more mature than his age.

Of course, Wei Zheng didn't know that Xiao Buyi was actually a man of two lives, but one thing Wei Zheng knew was that there were not many people who could combine various conditions like Xiao Buyi, and even fewer people could keep Xiao Buyi so calm.

Many people have opportunities, but in the process of seizing them, many people will lose their direction. The best example of this is of course Yang Guang. Wei Zheng definitely does not want Xiao Buyi to become another Yang Guang.

Yang Guang was actually humble. When he became King of Jin, he was also eager to be talented and respected the wise and inferior. Otherwise, there would not be so many ministers supporting him ascending the throne. But after he took the throne, Yang Guang changed again and again, just because rights make people crazy and power is confusing!

But Xiao Buyi in Daxing Palace only killed the evildoers, and there was no Bat brother in front of Hui'an Gate, which made Wei Zheng very pleased. Yuan Wen finally did not pick up the knife as Xiao Buyi expected. Some people died without hesitation, while others lived one more day. Although Yuan Wen knew that he would die, he still could not muster up the courage to commit suicide and was sent to prison by the Ministry of Justice. When the ministers saw that Xiao Buyi had not killed Yuan Wen for the time being, they were calm for a while. The impact of this new and old forces was

It was very strong, and if you were not careful, you would leave hidden dangers for the future. Wei Zheng felt that Xiao Buyi was extremely wise in handling it. After conflicting with Huangfu Wuyi and Yuanwen, Wei Zheng already knew that the stubborn forces in the Dongdu had almost been rectified. It was not suitable for massacre at this time, but was suitable for calming the people's hearts. So when he heard Xiao Buyi mention Princess Wuyou, he was still a little worried. He was afraid that Xiao Buyi would be angry with Princess Wuyou because Dong Qifeng took his anger and was surprised when he heard him say that Princess Wuyou would have something to do.

Before we could ask more questions, Wei Zheng first found Sun Jin and Zhang Qing and ordered them to take the handwriting of King Xiliang to go to the palace to meet Princess Wuyou. If it was okay, there was no need to say anything. If there was something wrong, come back and report immediately.

After everything was arranged, Wei Zheng had time to ask, "King of Xiliang, Princess Wuyou is just a down-and-out princess in the Sui Dynasty. What will happen?"

"I'm just afraid it's related to Dong Qifeng's rebellion." Xiao Buyi frowned and replied.

Xiao Buyi remembered the four words "Wuyou" because of Wei Zhengdi's battle.

He had no feelings for this princess except pity. Feelings are also strange. It is logical that he and Princess Wuyou first met. He even saw her take a bath. But he didn't feel anything about her. When the flowers bloomed in Luoyang were met at the flower meeting, he has never seen Wuyou again until now.

His failure to worry about Wuyou does not mean that others do not worry about Wuyou. At least in Dong Qifeng's mind, Wuyou is his only granddaughter.

Xiao Buyi has been wondering why Dong Qifeng betrayed him? Although Dong Qifeng is a royal family, Yang Guang is dead, and he should have no reason to be loyal to the royal family. Suddenly, Taiping Dao is omnipresent. If Wuyou threatens Dong Qifeng with Wuyou, Dong Qifeng may rebel. After all, Wuyou has a very important weight in Dong Qifeng's mind.

When Wei Zheng heard Xiao Buyi say his suspicion, he frowned and said, "If it is true as the King of Xiliang said, then the Taiping Dao is really hateful. This Taiping Dao is like a flood and a beast. If the King of Xiliang one day becomes emperor, it is still a prudent thing to deal with the Taiping Dao."

Xiao Buyi nodded, "It's still a long way to go to get along with Taiping Road, but the most important task at the moment is to pacify Wagang first. I got news that my uncle Xiao's persuasion in Bashu was not smooth. Except for Badong County, Hanchuan, Xicheng, and Fangling County in Shannan, all of them were persuaded by Li Xiaogong and agreed to surrender to Li Yuan."

Wei Zheng said in a silence: "There is only half of Bashu that has fallen into Li Yuan's hands."

Xiao Buyi pondered and said, "That's true. The current situation is not good for us. I didn't expect that Li Xiaogong was so powerful. He could only be worth tens of thousands of troops with one mouth. Now the remaining counties in Bashu are still watching, and Li Xiaogong is also rushing to move. Li Yuan wanted to take Bashu with obvious intentions, just to follow the Yangtze River and take my Jingxiang land. Li Xiaogong is not allowed to be underestimated. My uncle seemed to be unable to deal with it. Fortunately, the weather was cold and the supply of food and fodder was blocked. Li Xiaogong could only wait for spring to send troops. Second, Li Yuan and Xue Renguo were fighting fiercely.

Fufeng, deep ditches and high avenues, there was no time to take care of the land of Bashu for a while, and with the troops leaving Sanguan, Xue Ju had to consider cutting off his retreat. So in my opinion, if Li Yuan could defeat Xue Renguo, he would definitely consider taking Bashu. But he was living in harmony with me on the surface and could not openly launch a war, otherwise he would declare war on me. If we fight, it would undoubtedly be a benefit to others. But Bashu is actually a springboard for Jingxiang Guanzhong. I have to wait for this matter and go to Bashu. No matter what, I cannot let this place fall into the hands of Li Yuan!"

"But in addition to the land of Bashu, there is also a corner of Hebei." Wei Zheng frowned and said, "When King Xiliang, if we defeat Li Mi, we will be in the four battles. Guanzhong, Hebei, Jiangdu, and Bashu are all great troubles. Although we are in the middle of the abdomen, if these four places attack me, we will inevitably be exhausted."

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "If these people were really so united, the world would not be so turbulent. We should ask for the weak to eliminate the strong, so that they would have no time to send troops. A few days ago, I sent an order early and appointed Du Fuwei as the general manager of Jiangdu..."

"Du Fuwei is ambitious and may not be able to accept the enthronement of King Xiliang." Wei Zheng said in confusion. Although he is good at internal affairs, if he is to lead military power, he is not as good as Xiao Buyi, and he cannot understand the meaning of Xiao Buyi for a while.

"Du Fuwei owed me a life, but now I will probably not refuse when I see me repairing it." Xiao Buyi smiled sly, "Even if he refuses to accept my reward, I will make people publicize it. Yu Wen and others must be afraid, so that they can slow down their minds."

"The King of Xiliang is indeed a wonderful plan." Wei Zheng said admiringly.

Xiao Buyi pondered again: "When Wang Shichong has eliminated the hidden dangers of civil strife, he will help me guard the Eastern Capital, so I can enter Sichuan with peace of mind, but now I have to deal with Li Mi first. By the way... what about Zhai Rang now?"

"He asked General Li to escort the Dongdu and kept his door closed, just for fear of causing trouble." Wei Zheng replied.

"It's time to use him now." Xiao Buyi looked up at the sky. Seeing that it was dark like a mourn, he was calculating the time and thought that Wang Bian and others entered the city in the third hour. After a long time of struggle, it was almost morning. "I'll find someone to invite him."

Wei Zheng nodded, thinking that Xiao Buyi is the biggest now, but when he asked Zhai Rang at this time, he was afraid that he would scare him to death.

Although they couldn't sleep all night, both of them seemed to be sleepy. Wei Zheng got a gap and explained the internal affairs of the Eastern Capital to Xiao Buyi. Two or three of the ten suggestions were proposed by Ma Zhou. Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "This Ma Zhou is indeed a talent."

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "The King of Xiliang selects talents without any restrictions, and the revitalization of the Eastern Capital is within reach."

The two of them had a good time talking, and Wei Zheng was steady, and the suggestions they made were mostly pertinent and safe methods. Xiao Buyi always had some strange ideas. He could inspire Wei Zheng from time to time, and they were all interested. When the two were having fun talking, Sun Jin had quietly turned around and whispered: "Your Majesty Wuyou is unconscious. I asked the palace maid Xiaoyue, and I heard that Princess Wuyou has been unwell these days and is sick. Coma was happening early yesterday morning, but Dong Qifeng did not ask someone to find an imperial doctor, which was really strange."

Although Xiao Buyi had some expectations, his heart trembled slightly. Wei Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "It's really hateful." Xiao Buyi thought for a moment, "Can this incident alarm others?"

Sun Jin shook his head. Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "You are doing well, go and tell Sun Lang General about this. Remember, don't talk about this from others."

Sun Jin nodded and retreated, but Zhai Rang came in panic. When he saw Xiao Buyi, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The sinner of Wagang, Zhai Rang, met Xiliang."

Xiao Buyi reached out to help Zhai Rang up and sighed: "Zhai Master, you and I have met again."

Zhai Rang blushed for a moment and said repeatedly: "The sinner Zhai Rang deserves to die. He had always wanted to see the King of Xiliang, but he was not able to make any convenience. He was to see him today, and he was very worried."

It turned out that after the internal strife in Wagang, Zhai Rang and Wang Ruxin rushed back to Wagang Village in panic. They thought that Xiao Buyi would be killed by Fu Ping's residence, but they did not dare to do anything, but later they heard that Xiao Buyi was more energetic than anyone else, so they strengthened their determination and prepared to surrender. They still went to Liyang to join Li Jing according to their original plan. Li Jing did not grudges and treated the two well, and sent personal guards to escort them to Dongdu.

Zhai Rang knew his identity. If he had not been protected by Xiao Buyi in Dongdu, he would have been beaten to death by the people, so he would have been kept in a closed door. Xiao Buyi was busy and psychological tactics, and he ignored the two of them. When they arrived in Dongdu, they gradually felt a little regretful and felt that they were not valued. Zhai Rang did not expect that in such a cold winter, he suddenly got summoned by Xiao Buyi. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster, so he was inevitably worried.

But Xiao Buyi took Zhai Rang's hand and sat down. When Zhai Rang saw his intimate behavior, he felt relieved and volunteered: "The King of Xiliang saved my life several times, but Zhai Rang has never been able to repay me. If he had any instructions, Zhai would do his best to do it."

"Actually, there are two main things I have to come to Zhai today." Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to congratulate Mr. Zhai. If all the bandits in the world understand the truth as much as Mr. Zhai, how can there be any troubled times? I have been busy and have no time to take care of Mr. Zhai. I also asked Mr. Zhai to forgive me. I intend to grant Mr. Zhai the title of Mr. Zhai's salary as Mr. Dongjun, and my salary is the fourth rank. I don't know if Mr. Zhai is satisfied."

When Zhai Rang heard this, he was both happy and frightened, "The King of Xiliang said, and was heartbroken and unwilling to refuse." What kind of salary and official rank is actually no longer within Zhai Rang's consideration. He is only looking for his life now. Listening to Xiao Buyi's reward, this means Xiao Buyi's attitude towards him, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Actually, I really have the right to use the Zhai Gong."

"Please speak with King Xiliang."

"As far as I know, Li Mi's soldiers are now in the Luoshui side by side, but Luokoucang is guarded by Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junkuo. It's okay for Wang Junkuo, but Shan Xiongxin has a good relationship with Zhai Gong." Xiao Buyi wanted to speak but stopped.

"Did the King of Xiliang want me to convince Shan Xiongxin to raise his own warehouse to join the court?" Zhai Rang said anxiously: "This is probably difficult, because Xiongxin is quite loyal and righteous. Although he has a good relationship with me, he is also trusted by Li Mi. He should not surrender."

"I have some considerations about this," Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "I only need Mr. Zhai to write a letter and ask Shan Xiong to come out and tell me. As for the rest, I will do it."

"The King of Xiliang... wants..." Zhai Rang shivered and could no longer speak.

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Don't Mr. Zhai don't want to?"

Zhai Rang quickly shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to. It's just that Xiong Xin saved my life several times, so I only ask the King of Xiliang to show mercy at that time."

Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "Shan Xiong believed that this person is rare to be loyal and righteous. Don't worry, Mr. Zhai, I will never kill him!"

Zhai Rang finally felt relieved, but Xiao Buyi was doing things in a good manner. He had already ordered people to prepare their writing and ink. Although Zhai Rang was a bandit, his hand was written as a dragon and flying phoenix. Xiao Buyi praised: "I don't want Zhai Gong to be both civil and military."

Zhai Rang couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that he was sorry to Shan Xiongxin. But at this moment, Zhai Rang asked Xiao Buyi to read it. Xiao Buyi asked Wei Zheng to read it all. Zhai Rang's letter only said that he had been away for many days and missed it very much. Now there is something difficult for Shan Xiongxin to help, so he invited Shan Xiongxin to Niukouyu to see him.

Niukou Valley is north of Luokoucang, in the middle of Beim Mountain and Queshan. The terrain is like the opening and closing of Niukou. It is named after it. Zhai Rang chose this place without waiting for Xiao Buyi's order, which is obviously very eye-catching.

Xiao Buyi heard Wei Zheng recite it all, and felt it was not bad, and smiled and said, "In fact, there is still something to do with Duke Zhai."

Zhai Rang smiled bitterly and thought that this Dongjun Duke was not easy to be a man, so Xiao Buyi caught a toad and wanted to pee. But at this time, he was afraid that Xiao Buyi would be dissatisfied, so he could only say alone: ​​"The King of Xiliang has given instructions, and he will follow him."

Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice: "Okay, from today, please ask Mr. Zhai to follow me. I think there are more bandits in Henan, but the uprising is not my original wish. I have been worried, just wanting to steal the farmers and give peace to the people of the world. But I think the thieves are rampant and unwilling to repent. The big reason is that they are full of concerns, so I ask Mr. Zhai if he can..."

Zhai Rangwen Xianqin Zhiya said, "So the King of Xiliang wants to take me by his side to dispel those people's concerns so that those people can submit as soon as possible?" Wei Zheng heard this and secretly applauded, thinking that Xiao Buyi's move was really powerful.

Xiao Buyi applauded and said, "Mr. Zhai is so smart, this is what I mean!" He stood up and bowed to Zhai Rang and said, "I think all the bandits and the people have wives, children, and the war is endless. I don't know when the end will be. I would like to ask Mr. Zhai to help me and return the peace in Henan early!"

Although Zhai Rang didn't know how true Xiao Buyi was, he thought that if Xiao Buyi was in charge of this policy, he would obviously have to use him more seriously, and it would only benefit him and not harm him. As long as he did his duty in the future, he might have a good end. When he saw Xiao Buyi's salute, he stood up and returned the salute, "Since the King of Xiliang has taken a fancy to me, I am a man, I should devote all my life to death until I die!"

When Zhai Rang was sent away, it was already bright and Xiao Buyi worked hard all night but was still full of energy.

He ordered Wei Zheng to do something immediately to appease the people's hearts. Of course, the content was to announce that Wang Shichong colluded with internal and external forces, and his crimes were unforgivable. However, the King of Xiliang was magnanimous and only punished the evil people. He brought Yuan Wendu to the Ministry of Justice to deal with it, but he asked the counties along the way to arrest Wang Shichong. If he could be arrested, he would be promoted to three levels.

Of course, the hope of capturing the land is not very high, but it at least shows the attitude of Dongdu. After Xiao Buyi handled everything, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relaxed.

The internal strife in Dongdu really made him suppress this time, and the significance of winning this time is no less than the capture of Wagang. After he arrived at Dongdu, only after starting today can he truly control Dongdu!

During this period, the process was extremely difficult. Fortunately, he finally stood up, closed his eyes slightly, and calmed down a little, and knew that he was about to face a tough battle. It was finally time for him and Li Mi to decide the outcome.

A man walked over gently. Before the person arrived, the fragrance smelled first. Xiao Buyi opened his eyes and looked over. Seeing that it was Qiao Xi, he couldn't help but smile and signal.

Yuan Qiaoxi came over with a tray and put fragrant tea on it. When she saw Xiao Buyi opening her eyes, she said softly, "Brother Xiao... are you awake?"

"Didn't you rest?" Xiao Buyi gently pulled her tenderness and took the tray. Yuan Qiaoxi sat beside him and whispered: "Don't you sleep? I can't do anything else, I just think that it's a good place to share the joys and sorrows with Brother Xiao."

Xiao Buyi was quite moved by the sincerity of her words, and reached out to put her arms around her slender waist, "Silly child."

Yuan Qiaoxi smiled sweetly. She didn't know what to say for a moment, but just snuggled gently in Xiao Buyi's arms, feeling the rare warmth.

After a long time, Yuan Qiaoxi heard footsteps outside the hall and stood up suddenly, only to find that her father was standing outside the hall. She couldn't help but blush and struggled to stand up, but Xiao Buyi hugged her slender waist for the first time.

Yuan Qiaoxi just struggled, stopped standing up, and lowered her head, her face flushed.

Although I knew I would marry Xiao Buyi sooner or later, I was still not used to it in front of others, even though the others were her father.

Yuan Lan walked in slowly, his face was solemn, and he did not look at his daughter. He knelt down and said, "The King of Xiliang, I am not careful in my employment, and I will cause trouble. I would like to ask the King of Xiliang to be responsible."

Yuan Qiaoxi was shocked and suddenly remembered that the five bats were originally talents found by her father and introduced them to Xiao Buyi. Now someone betrayed her. That father is indeed wrong!

But Xiao Buyi finally let go of Yuan Qiaoxi. He stood up and walked up, helped Yuan Lan up and said, "Mr. Yuan, many things are unpredictable. I know you have done your best, but people's hearts are unpredictable and you cannot control them. I have no intention of blame for you, Qiaoxi, right?"

Yuan Qiaoxi stood up shyly. "Dad... Brother Xiao said it's okay. It must be okay."

But Xiao Buyi reached out and held Yuan Qiaoxi's hand and smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan. Wagang is about to defeat. I said at the beginning that the day of Wagang's defeat is the time for me to marry Ling's daughter. I would like to ask Mr. Yuan to prepare as soon as possible. If I can't marry Ling's daughter, then I will really blame Mr. Yuan."

After he said that, he burst into laughter, Yuan Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, King Xiliang for being generous. I will make careful preparations to prevent King Xiliang from disappointing."

"By the way... I have something to ask Mr. Yuan for help." Xiao Buyi suddenly remembered something.

"King of Xiliang, please give me instructions."

"Brothers Five Bats...there are only four of them now. I want to take them out for a few days in a row. Please ask Mr. Yuan to mention it for me."

Yuan Lan showed admiration and bowed with fists and said, "Abide by the order."

Xiao Buyi had comforted Yuan Lan in just two simple things. The first thing was of course to marry Yuan Qiaoxi as promised, so that Yuan Lan could rest assured. The second thing was that he would use the bats and only asked Yuan Lan to relieve the four of them. Yuan Lan was far-sighted and could not hear the implication.

Wei Zheng rushed out of the hall again. Seeing the three of them together, he was slightly stunned for a moment. Yuan Lan had already seen that he had something important and took Qiaoxi away with tactfully. Xiao Buyi was a little surprised why Wei Zheng returned again. Wei Zheng whispered: "King of Xiliang, Lord Zhang from Baihua Valley sent his confidants to send an emergency document."

Xiao Buyi felt a little nervous, and he didn't know what happened to Zhang Zhenzhou. Seeing the red lacquer and fire seals of the letter, he was very serious. He opened the reading and just looked at it a few times, and said happily on his face: "God helps me."

Wei Zheng was always surprised when he saw Xiao Buyi's calmness and calmness. He was rarely so happy. Xiao Buyi handed the official document to Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng just glanced at it and showed joy. "I want the King of Xiliang to be kind and righteous, so that he can achieve such a result! I thought it would be a fierce battle, but now it seems that Wagang is about to collapse. As long as we can fuel the fire, it is not surprising to want to defeat Li Mi's army."

Xiao Buyi nodded, but ignited the letter and said in a deep voice: "Wei Zheng... help me do something quickly... You go and notify General Pei and let him do this..."

After giving the order, Wei Zheng left again, but this was the first time Xiao Buyi walked around the hall, frowned and was sometimes happy. When the sun rose, Xiao Buyi took a long breath and was about to walk out. However, Asu and Zhou Muru rushed in and said anxiously: "Boss Xiao, Fat Huai is gone."
