A pair of eyes looked at Liang Yuanbi, and everyone showed strange expressions.
The thirty-six tribe alliance is an extremely important thing in Hongze. However, this alliance is not completely closed. Sometimes relevant people are invited to participate. Liang Yuanbi, as the tribal leader of Xiutuge, is not the first
This is the first time I have participated in such a meeting. But before this, even if Liang Yuanbi attended, she rarely had the opportunity to speak.
For example, when everyone in Xiu Tu was beaten by Tang Ti, Xiu Tu Ze was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog.
At that time, Liang Yuanbi found Dou Lan, hoping that Dou Lan could give Xiutu a place to live. Dou Lan convened thirty-six ministers for discussion, and Liang Yuanbi participated for the first time. From beginning to end, he did not get a chance to speak until
In the end, Dou Lan and others decided to lend Xiu Tu a piece of grassland between Xiu Tuze and Hongze to rest and recuperate. Only then did Liang Yuanbi get the chance to speak. But the content of what he said was nothing more than words like 'thank you'...
…
Since then, Liang Yuanbi participated in three alliances intermittently, and Dou Lan never asked him.
But this time, Dou Lan actually asked Liang Yuanbi, and he asked about the future of Hongze, which was more or less surprising. After all, this is the future of Hongze people, and what does it have to do with Xiutu?
relation?
Ma Chao didn't know the mystery behind this, so he didn't notice anything.
But Hu Bai's face changed slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the Bronze Lord on the table in front of him.
Liang Yuanbi was equally surprised.
But since Dou Lan asked questions, he couldn't remain silent.
Liang Yuanbi raised his head and said in a not-so-standard Han dialect: "Xiutu has been friends with Hongze for generations, and they are closely related. General Dou's choice is Xiao Wang's choice. The general does not need to care, just make the decision."
"
Dou Lan, laughed!
Everyone in the tent also smiled.
As expected, he is Hongze's ally. With Liang Yuanbi's words, Hongze will have a lot more confidence when negotiating with the Ma family.
Unexpectedly, the smile on Dou Lan's face gradually faded away, revealing a cold air.
"Master Liang said it well, but... seriously?"
Liang Yuanbi shivered, "General, what do you mean by this?"
A flash of killing intent flashed in Dou Lan's eyes, as if he was talking to himself: "Suo Eqing, who was killed?"
Suo'eqing was the Xiutuguren who died outside the Dou Mansion.
Liang Yuanbi was startled, "Suo'eqing was killed by his enemies, but Xiao Wang doesn't know exactly who he was."
"Really not sure?"
"General Dou, what do you mean?
You and I have known each other for more than ten years, and it can be regarded as a life-long friendship. If you say this, could it be that Xiao Wang killed Zoe Qing? Even if Xiao Wang killed him, he is the one who killed everyone. He committed a crime.
It is only natural that he be killed by me...Besides, I did not kill him. Is it possible that Xiao Wang will lie to you again? General Dou, today..."
Everyone was stunned!
Dou Lan, what's going on?
Aren't we discussing Hongze's future? How come everyone in Xiutu is involved in everything? He's still a dead person...
What Liang Yuanbi said was right. As a leader of various Xiutu tribes, even if he killed Suo'eqing, it would be nothing. What's more, didn't he say that he didn't kill Suo'eqing? This matter has nothing to do with Hong Kong.
What does Ze have to do with it?
Dou Lan sneered and said: "My father once said before his death that Qiang Hu, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Ding Ling...
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
Mr. Liang, I remember when you and Xiutu were beaten by Tang Ti and had no place to stay, I wanted to build friendship between the two families and take you in. But do you really think that I would not take any precautions? I might as well speak more clearly, Suo Eqing is mine!"
It seems that this Zoe Festival is quite famous.
At least all the thirty-six adults seem to know him.
Therefore, when Dou Lan said these words, a series of sounds of sucking cold air echoed in the tent. Liang Yuanbi's face changed, and the simple and honest look on his round and fat face suddenly disappeared. Instead, there was a layer of Ashen, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Dou Lan. After a while, he suddenly said: "General Dou, are you kidding?"
Dou Hu's voice sounded in Cao Peng's ears.
"Suo'eqing is Xiutuge's handsome commander, and he has always been arrogant.
We have had frequent conflicts with us in the past few years, and we almost got into fights several times. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be..."
Cao Peng turned his head, glanced at Dou Hu, and then smiled slightly.
The Dou family, father and son, are not fuel-efficient lamps.
In other words, Li Ding is still a bit naive. At least from beginning to end, he did not see the relationship between Suo Eqing and the Dou family.
"joke?"
Dou Lan laughed heartily, "Three years ago, when Suo'eqing came to seek refuge with me, he wanted to bring his entire clan under my banner.
But I considered Mr. Liang’s face, so I rejected his request.
And I told Suo Eqing not to contact me or show any signs. Unless...hehe, Mr. Liang, you intend to harm me Hongze, otherwise you must not come to see me. According to the agreement between me and him, As long as he appears alone in Hongshuiji, regardless of whether he sees me or not, there is only one thing, and that is that Xiutuge... has rebelled."
Liang Yuanbi looked at Dou Lan in shock and was speechless for a long time.
Dou Lan didn't look at him at all, thinking to himself: "So, although you had people kill Suo'eqing outside my house so that he could not meet me, but since he is here, it has already explained everything, it is you Lord Liang...
I have been thinking these past few days, if Mr. Liang is looking for another job, just tell me directly.
Based on the friendship between you and me, even if your Xiutuge leaves, I will not stop you. Mr. Liang, you are a smart man, how could you not understand the truth behind this? Then I understand, you Liang Yuanbi... is... It’s going to be detrimental to me, Hongze.”
"General Dou, please don't spit on others."
Liang Yuanbi became furious and started to fight.
Dou Lan ignored him, but his eyes fell on Ma Chao.
"I'm wondering, what's the reason that makes you, Mr. Liang, have bad thoughts against me?
Moreover, after these years of recuperation, Xiutu has recovered some vitality, but compared to me, Hongze, there is still a gap. If you want to harm Hongze, you are probably powerless... If you have such thoughts, That only means one thing, you have found a more powerful backer than Hongze. By the way, I heard that there were rumors before that General Ma was going to mediate and let you return to Xiutuze to divide and conquer with Mo Zhezha? "
Ma Chao looked as usual.
Liang Yuanbi's face turned red and she didn't know how to speak.
Dou Lan took a deep breath and ignored Liang Yuanbi.
"Master, do you have anything to say?"
Ma Chao's sharp-edged face was shrouded in a layer of gloom.
After a moment, he suddenly laughed, "General Dou, you are indeed powerful... My father once said that the Thirty-Six Divisions of Hongze were a mistake from the beginning. If the Thirty-Six Divisions had not been separated back then, but had been gathered together
, then the land of Xiliang must be respected by General Dou. Unfortunately, the thirty-six tribes are called one, but in fact they have their own thoughts. It is for this reason that the people of Hongze established themselves in Hongze a hundred years ago, and the people of Hongze a hundred years later
Still cowering in the red...
That's right, Xiutu has joined my Ma family.
My father also convinced Tang Ti that as long as everyone in Xiutu is willing, they can return to Xiutu Ze at any time, and Mo Zhidao can even let Xiu Tu Ze out entirely.
General Dou, a wise man is one who knows the current affairs.
Mr. Liang is a hero. He knows very well who is the real master in this land of Xiliang.
I, a famous general in the Ma family, have been loyal to the imperial court for generations. Now that the imperial court is controlled by treacherous ministers, it is the time when I am loyal to the imperial court. I know that the people of Hongze are also loyal to the imperial court, so I came here to invite you to join us in this great event.
Qing Jun is on his side, killing traitors and revitalizing the court. As for Mr. Liang's matter, it is just a misunderstanding, and General Dou does not need to care. As long as Hongze is willing, the conditions I mentioned before are still valid. Xiutu will automatically return to Xiutize and pay tribute to Hongze every year.
Ze provides a thousand war horses and three thousand cattle and sheep. In this way, Hongze will dominate Hexi and it will be just around the corner..."
Who says Ma Chao is just a reckless man?
Just by his words, you can tell that he is not taking it easy.
Cao Peng subconsciously looked at Ma Chao, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
And Dou Lan seemed to be deep in thought.
"Currently Cao's thieves are trapped in Hebei and have difficulty escaping.
Therefore, although he sent troops and horses out to control Hexi, they were actually thousands of people in Lian County. As for the commander, his name was Cao Peng. He was the nephew of an old bandit and had a reputation of being arrogant. He was not very old.
But he was extremely ruthless and did not put the emperor in his eyes at all. Three years ago, this man cut off the hand of the abbot, forcing the abbot to retire sadly.
After that, the old thief controlled the court and became even more unscrupulous.
Hebei Yuan Shao, the fourth and third prince, was an important minister of the imperial court. He was defeated by the old thief just because he did not get along with him. As a result, the war in Hebei is endless now... If the little thief comes to Hexi, whether Hongze can maintain the status quo is probably
…”
Ma Chao was chatting eloquently, but there was silence in the big tent.
Dou Hu was stunned for a moment, turned his head and whispered: "The general of Beizhong Lang actually has the same name as you?"
In Dou Hu's eyes, it was difficult to associate the Cao Peng in front of him with Bei Zhonglang Cao Peng. Cao Peng just smiled and did not answer. He focused on Ma Chao and was secretly surprised in his heart.
Ma Chao's eloquence.
After Ma Chao finished speaking, he sat down again.
He nodded slightly towards Hu Bai opposite him, with a proud smile on his face.
And Hu Bai's eyes flashed with admiration...
Although it was fleeting, Cao Peng saw it in his eyes. His heart moved slightly, and he seemed to understand.
"Little general, who is that person opposite me?"
"You mean...oh, that guy's name is Hu Bai, also known as Daozhi, and he's Ma Chao's staff. But I'm not too sure about his specific background. Anyway, this guy is quite powerful. The reason why Ma Chao can win every battle in Xiliang
, this man has made great contributions. It is said that Ma Chao will take him with him wherever he goes, even far better than his cousin."
Cao Peng frowned, this name was so unfamiliar.
At least in his impression, there didn't seem to be such a name during the Three Kingdoms period.
He was about to ask, but he heard Dou Lan say: "The eldest son is right... However, Cao Peng is in charge of Hexi, and even if I, Hongze, are a vassal, I can't say that I still have a place. But if I vote for General Ma, I'm afraid that I, Hongze
Thirty-six, from now on in name only." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at *** (***.***), ***, your support is mine
