The capital of the Tufang Kingdom - Taiyuan.

The local king was lying casually on the throne, wearing a tiger skin lining, with charming women serving him on both sides, their graceful figures framed by light gauze, and her every frown and smile was full of charm.

Many people who sat down below were looking at the beauty, their eyes sparkling.

"She is indeed a singing girl sent by the State of Yan. She is so beautiful."

Someone whispered.

The people around who heard it also showed expressions of emotion.

It is obvious that the beauties serving King Tu were all carefully selected by the State of Yan and then auctioned off, and then brought to King Tu and his men.

The whole hall was filled with decadent music. If King Tu Quan didn't still have some spirit, he would have become a tyrant and ignored the affairs of state.

Of course, even if we ignore the affairs of state, it will not cause any big problems for the operation of the entire country.

After all, Tufang is a system of states, which are part of primitive feudalism. The decrees of the Tu King are only effective in Taiyuan City, his several sons, and trusted nobles. In other places, he is picky. No one will pay attention to the Tu King if there is no benefit.

Therefore, how the local areas operated was the business of the local vassal states. As long as they paid tribute and taxes honestly, all government affairs were their internal affairs.

Therefore, the enjoyment of the local quail has no impact on the entire country.

"King, Prince Piggy is back."

Hearing this, the originally cheerful Tu Wang Quail's eyes sharpened and he immediately sat up: "Announce."

Soon, Xianyu Xiaozhu came in and said, “Your Majesty, Beibo has personally arrived in Datong and taken over all military and political affairs of Datong City.

The Zhenxi General's Mansion has resumed its training."

Hearing this, the Earth King laughed out loud: "Bei Bo is still so resolute and decisive. Good! Good! Then how about talking to him? Are you willing to raise the flag?"

"My uncle doesn't want to." Xianyu Pig sighed.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone below showed a look of dissatisfaction.

Now the King of Shang is finally seriously injured and on the verge of death. The Shang clan has suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield in the Central Plains, and the prestige of the Shang clan has been greatly damaged. If you don't take the opportunity to kill him, do you still want to watch the Tufang and Shang clan fight?
What? Want to sit back and watch the fire? Do you really think they are fools?

Seeing everyone with the same expression, Xianyu Pig said in a serious tone, "Although Beibo is unwilling to raise the flag, he is willing to provide 3,000 bags of food for the expedition, but he has not agreed to send troops to help us contain Qiongfang..."

"Did you agree?" Gui Xuesheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

Bad tone.

Xianyu Xiaozhu glanced at him. Gui Xuesheng clearly stood on the side of his big brother Wang Ziwu and did not have a very good expression towards him. If he questioned him now, he might cause trouble.

As expected, Gui Xuesheng continued, "If that's the case! It's too cheap! There is reason to suspect that Prince Xiaozhu has reached an agreement with the State of Yan..."

"That's enough. I haven't finished what I was saying." Xianyu Xiaozhu interrupted immediately, his voice cold: "Yan is a big country with tens of thousands of soldiers. If they don't want to raise the flag, we can't just drag them into it.

Even if they were pulled down, do you think the Shang clan would dare to admit that Yan was rebelling?
Therefore, I spent a lot of time and effort, and fought several rounds, before I got Bei Bo to agree to give me 10,000 bags of grain and two Bafu troops from Yan State.

The Anxi Army will join forces with the Guifang to attack the Qiongfang to ensure that the Qiongfang will not leave the Luliang Mountains when we send out troops.

The Zhenxi Army will follow us southward and sweep across the Shangdang Basin in the shortest possible time. The price is that Yan State only wants the population they looted, and our population and land will be distributed by us.

Afterwards, the State of Yan would certainly purchase slaves according to the old rules, but that is a story for another time.

With 10,000 bags of grain provided by Yan State, we can quickly raise 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers. While no one is reacting, we can quickly wipe out Shangdang and open up the road to Dayi Shang."

Gui Xuesheng's face flushed red. He didn't expect that Xianyu Xiaozhu would not tell the result directly, but learned to be tactful and then take credit for himself.

Choked by this, even the Tu Wang Quail, who had not been involved in government affairs for a long time, looked at Gui Xuesheng with an unfriendly look.

As soon as the ten thousand bags of grain came out, Tu Wangquan no longer cared whether Xinqu raised the flag or not.

Raising the flag is just a strategy to bind the State of Yan, but Xianyu Xiaozhu is right. Even if the State of Yan raises the flag, will the Shang clan recognize it?
It only has strategic significance if you want others to recognize your flag.

Otherwise, the Shang clan would act like an ostrich, and the Yan State would withdraw after receiving the benefits, and there would always be earth between the two sides. As for the plains, swamps, and densely forested lands on the eastern front, there would be no way they would be able to deploy combat power at the level of destroying a country until the canal was completed.

Therefore, if they really push too far, if Yan and Shang join forces, the Tufang will be attacked from all sides. "Little pig, you did a good job." The Tuwang Quail seemed very satisfied and said approvingly.

Xianyu Piglet bowed his head meekly and said, "Everything is for the sake of the Tufang. But even if we want the cooperation of Yan State, we still have to be prepared, especially the control of Yanmen Mountain Road."

"Well. Don't worry about that." The Earth King nodded and smiled, "You will be the master of Yanmen Camp. You take your elite troops and Hui and Wu will serve as the vanguard.

This time, I will lead the army in person!"

"Yes!" No one thought there was a problem.

One by one, they all took action.

This time, it will be no problem to clear the Shangdang Basin and bring back a population of 30,000 to 40,000 people.

Of course, this is something that Tufang can eat all.

In this case, we must act before the Yan army enters the Shangdang Basin.

That's it.

A group of people got ready.

"Oh, right, Xuesheng, you lead the main force of Gui clan to the north and join forces with You to guard the Yanmen Mountain Road."

When Gui Xuesheng heard the order from the Earth King Quail, he showed a bitter look on his face, but in the end he had no choice but to agree.

Then he began to collect money and grain, and was busy until dusk when he returned home.

Gui Xuesheng's father, Gui Zhi, the patriarch of the Yougui clan, was lying on the couch. He accidentally broke his leg last year and has been unable to walk until now.

So, seeing Gui Xuesheng's bitter expression, they roughly guessed, "But did you offend the king?"

Hearing this, Gui Xuesheng sat down on the futon under the couch and told what happened this morning: "This time, we, the Gui family, have no chance of getting with Shangdang."

"That's good." Gui Zhi answered without hesitation, "No need to blame yourself."

"Ah?" Gui Xuesheng was surprised and didn't know why Gui Zhi would say that.

"Wang Ziyou and Wang Ziwu have always been at odds. The king asked us to guard the Yanmen Mountain Road in order to contain Wang Ziyou. At the same time, we have a history with the Yao people of Yan State, and the king is also worried that we will take the opportunity to contact Yan State and cause trouble. So he asked Wang Ziyou to look after us. This is the most stable combination. This time we go north to meet Bei Bo who lives in Datong in person."

Gui Zhi warned: "As long as we are open and honest, the Earth King will not be suspicious of us.

Prince Wu also needs help.

The current development momentum of Yan State determines that they will sooner or later be able to influence the inheritance of the local king.

In this case, we also need to win over one or two people for Wang Ziwu.

In short, if you act in an upright manner, the Earth King will not be disgusted."

"But my performance today..."

"To the king, your behavior is in line with the rules. He is just warning you not to always try to sow discord between the prince and the king. Remember, even if Xianyu Xiaozhu is a concubine's son, even if he is not the heir to the clan, he is still a prince.

Once the other princes are gone, will the king choose the son of a relative uncle or a bastard prince to ascend the throne?
After all, Hijikata is a place where fists are respected.

The Xianyu clan has a population of over 10,000. If it were a dozen years ago, Xianyu Xiaozhu would have been nominated as a candidate and would have been eligible to be directly elected as king by the elders.

Therefore, the Tuwang Quail suppressed the Xianyu Pig in order to prevent the old elders from reviving and abdicating again.

Even if he is your own son, it is not allowed.

Even the State of Yan, which was based on the eldest son inheritance system, was directly killed by Bei Bo. This is enough to show that if a country wants to be big and strong, abdication is not allowed. The family, country and world must be strictly maintained. "

After Gui Zhi finished speaking, he yawned and said, "Okay, just do your job well and don't get involved."

"Yes, son, I understand." (End of this chapter)
