Riding back to the city, Cheng Dalei held Su Ying in his arms and rode through the long street in a swaggering manner.
There are not many rules in the bitter cold land of Liangzhou. However, such blatant behavior still attracted passers-by's attention. Later, someone recognized Cheng Dalei, so everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of thing.
After all, this is the lord of Liangzhou. The domineering Song Bokang was driven away by him, and even Prime Minister Cui could not do anything to him. As the lord of a place, Cheng Dalei did not do too much.
When they arrived in front of the city lord's mansion, Cheng Dalei jumped off the horse first and stretched out his hand to Su Ying. Su Ying's cheeks turned red and she put her slender hand on his palm. With a slight jump, she was already in Cheng Dalei's arms.
Then he placed it safely on the ground.
A servant led the horse, and Cheng Dalei and Su Ying walked through the gate together. Then one went to the backyard, and Cheng Dalei walked to the front hall alone.
Xu Shenji and Liu Bei were both there. Cheng Dalei waved his hand and asked directly: "What's the situation?"
Liu Bei handed over a letter and said: "This is from Qian Tongyu and his family."
Cheng Dalei opened it and asked, "Where is the messenger?"
"Still waiting for the boss's reply, do you want to meet them?" Liu Bei.
Cheng Dalei shook his head and said: "He disappeared when he saw it. You can probably guess the purpose of sending the letter."
Cheng Dalei had already spread out the letter and read it word for word. The content of the letter was indeed similar to what Cheng Dalei had guessed. This letter was sent by Qian Tongyu, Bai Kongji, and Sun Bieshan. The letter simply said that he had heard of the name of Mr. Cheng for a long time.
It's a pity that fate is a side issue. Nowadays, everyone is living in Liangzhou, so naturally they have to put down their wars and work together to run Liangzhou better.
"Master, what do you think of this matter?" Liu Bei had just read the letter.
"If they want to make peace, we are naturally happy to do so." Cheng Dalei pressed the letter. The key is that even if they fight, they may not be able to win: "If you reply to them, just say that we are all on the same line, so naturally you should be good to me.
Hello everyone."
After speaking, Cheng Dalei looked at Liu Bei: "Mr. Liu will be responsible for writing the letter?"
Liu Bei hurriedly waved his hand: "It's embarrassing for me to take on such an important task. Why don't we let Military Advisor Xu do it?"
Xu Shenji puffed up his chest, wishing he could take the pen and paper right now. Cheng Dalei pretended not to see him. After all, there were few educated people in Toad Village. Liu Bei didn't have much ink in his stomach, so the other party's letter was poorly written.
Niao Ya, Cheng Dalei had a hard time understanding it, and his reply could not lose its prestige.
After all the calculations, Cui Baiyu still had to do this job. She came from a big family and had been exposed to the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child. It was easy for her to reply to a letter.
Cheng Dalei sent someone to call Cui Baiyu over. The girl was still covered in black gauze and her eyes were a little lonely.
Only then did Cheng Dalei suddenly remember that the reason why Qian Tongyu and the other three showed their kindness was thanks to the Cui family and the Cui family being massacred. If the big tree of the Cui family had not fallen, Qian Tongyu and the other three would have
Hozens don’t even think about choosing new branches.
Asking Cui Baiyu to do this today was like rubbing a handful of salt into her wounds. Cheng Dalei carefully looked at Cui Baiyu's expression and saw that she didn't show anything, so he relaxed a little.
Cui Baiyu's pen was very clever, and a reply was written quickly. Cheng Dalei read it himself, and then asked Liu Bei to read it again. After confirming that there were no problems, he put it in an envelope and gave it to Qian Tongyu and the others.
Walk.
To a certain extent, Cheng Dalei wanted to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Qian Tongyu family and prevent each other from invading each other. The two letters expressed the expectations of both parties. But they were only expectations. Everyone knew that this
This alliance is actually very fragile, and each has to be on guard against stabbing the other in the back.
Therefore, the details of the specific cooperation need to be discussed slowly. As for the conditions that the two parties will set, it still depends on the reaction of the other party.
Cheng Dalei is also happy to see this matter negotiated. He still has another task, which is to control the entire Liangzhou. As long as this matter is negotiated and both parties do not invade each other, it means that the situation in Liangzhou is stable. After that, he will give himself a few
In a few years, I was sure that I could train the soldiers in my hands to be strong and strong. With the entire Liangzhou at my disposal, I was more sure of facing this troubled world.
Liangzhou has become more stable, and the chaos in Jingzhou has gradually settled down. All princes in the empire are busy recruiting troops, and there are endless frictions between them, but nothing major happens.
When Cheng Dalei was promoting the alliance between Qian Tongyu and Qian Tongyu, a group of people came all the way from Chang'an City. After reporting their history, they were led to the city lord's palace.
The person who came was a messenger brought by Li Letian. The leader's surname was Li and his first name was Yunian. Looking at this surname, you knew that the person belonged to the royal family and was Li Letian's brother, the ninth prince of the empire.
After experiencing the chaos in Chang'an, Li Letian probably knew that the only people he could trust were his relatives. As for people with foreign surnames, they were outsiders after all.
The purpose of Li Yunian's visit was very simple, which was to announce the decree to confer Cheng Dalei as the King of Liangzhou. Of course, Tian Qi had already come here once before, but that decree was only needed after Li Letian died. Now Li Letian is talking to the Prime Minister's Mansion
If he wins the battle, the imperial edict he promulgates will have immeasurable influence. At least, it will make Cheng Dalei justified and no longer the bandit that everyone shouted to beat.
"Mr. Tian has been here once, why haven't I seen Mr. Tian today?" After some polite remarks, Cheng Dalei asked.
Li Yunian said: "Mr. Tian performed meritorious service in escorting the emperor, but died in the hands of thieves. Now he has been posthumously named a mighty warrior."
Cheng Dalei was speechless. He and Tian Qi had only met once, and there was no relationship between them. But he still respected Tian Qi, a loyal warrior. However, such loyal people often died very quickly.
morning.
"The Emperor is kind and will never treat those who serve the country loyally. Tian Qi's family members, old and young, are all supported by the empire." Li Yunian said: "Mr. Cheng's family has the legacy of the late emperor, and his tenacity is a lesson to heaven and earth, and your majesty will never forget it.
"
Cheng Dalei put his hand on his chest and nodded gently: "It should be done."
"Your Majesty will never forget Mr. Cheng, and he often misses Mr. Cheng's family. Mr. Cheng's family can send his children to Chang'an to be taken care of by the court, and Mr. Cheng's family will have no worries."
Cheng Dalei blinked his eyes, he would have known that it would not be so easy to be just and justified. No, Li Letian began to make conditions, asking him to send his family to Chang'an as hostages.
But the problem is, Cheng Dalei can give up his "justifiable name", but he can't give up his family.
Li Letian has just taken control of Jingzhou and needs the support of allies. But he needs soldiers and generals in his hands, so it is not necessary to form an alliance with Li Letian.
"Your Majesty is thinking about this matter, and I am very grateful. However, Madam occasionally feels cold, and it is really not suitable to travel far."
