Chapter 700 Broth (5)
Even though he was talking about a really serious issue at the moment, Guan Yubai still had a warm expression, he poured a cup of tea for himself, and then continued unhurriedly: "Actually, Tuoba Ren is very clear in his heart, once he really hits Feixia Mountain, To the east, then the entire front will be stretched, and neither Xirong's troops nor food and grass will keep up. If one is not careful, his army may even sink deep into the Central Plains and become a turtle in the urn. Now the imperial court only sees the strength of the Xirong army. , I can't stand it, but I don't know that the people in Xirong may not be united."
Guan Yubai did not see the spirit of fighting on the battlefield for many years, and his every move was elegant and calm, "Unlike the Nanman that Yi is familiar with, this Xirong is composed of twelve small clans, thirty Many years ago, the current King of Xirong defeated eleven other neighboring tribes, and only unified the twelve tribes and proclaimed himself the King of Xiye."
He took a sip of the tea and said lightly: "In the early years, the West Night King was young, vigorous and strong, and naturally he could hold down all the clans, but now the West Night King is already old Lian Po, and his three sons At the prime of their lives, everyone is eyeing the position of King Xiye, and all the clans are eager to move. At this time, Xirong's various forces are at a stalemate, and all parties are watching carefully, everyone is afraid that if they send troops to help Tuoba Ren, but encounter If there is a fire in the rear, then it is too late to regret it!"
Xiao Yi was thoughtful, although he was not familiar with Xi Rong, but from the point of view of Zhiwei, he was indeed far inferior to Guan Yubai.
"If my guess is right," Guan Yubai clasped his finger on the table lightly, and said in a deep voice, "This peace is the best ending that Tuoba Ren had hoped for, and the various forces in Xirong are also eager to make peace, not to mention the I Da Yu took the initiative to ask for peace, and Xi Rong naturally hopes to take the opportunity to seek the best interests. In fact, for Xi Rong, it doesn’t matter who is going to marry, what matters is who can bring them benefits.”
Therefore, as soon as Concubine Zhang and the third prince proposed to exchange the smelting technology of weapons, the envoys of Xirong immediately asked the emperor to marry the master of Yaoguang County.
It doesn't matter if it's the princess or the princess, it's just a woman anyway, take it back and throw it into the harem, and she won't be able to turn it around. But exchanging a woman for a smelting map is so worth it!
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, his body exuding awe-inspiring murderous intent.
What I don't understand now is why Concubine Zhang and her son chose the stinky girl as a substitute.
The official language raised his eyebrows slightly, interrupting his thoughts and said: "Ayi, although the emperor has rejected the envoy of Xirong, but in order to get the smelting map, I am afraid that the envoy of Xirong will not give up... But no matter what happens. , you just need to remember, don't be impatient, don't mess with your pace!" He raised his lips slightly and said meaningfully, "It is actually the easiest to deal with people who only value interests, everything only needs to be based on interests. Just think about it."
Xiao Yi didn't hide his hostility at all, but nodded calmly and said, "I know. Xiaobai... I won't act rashly. No, speaking of interests... Maybe let me breathe a sigh of relief first, and then let me They didn't dare to beat her mind."
Guan Yu's white eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately understood Xiao Yi's intentions.
Xiao Yi stood up, waved his hand casually and said, "I'll go first, Xiao Bai. I'll come to you for tea next time."
Xiao Yi came out of the window naturally, and then, a secret door in the study opened automatically, and a man in black robe walked out. His long black hair was only loosely tied with a black ribbon. It seemed that Very casual.
He stared at Guan Yubai puzzled, but his tone was extremely sharp: "Yubai, you have the heart, why don't you fight for it?" He seemed casual, but there was a sigh hidden in his heart. Later, Guan Yubai seemed to have completely changed a person, losing the ambition and vitality that he once had. Now he seems to be living only for the dead souls of the official family.
