Concubine Liu Gui heard from Emperor Daliang's tone that he was dissatisfied with Li Wei, her expression remained unchanged, she served him a bowl of soup, put it in his hand, and gently comforted him: "Your Majesty, calm down , the generals that our Great Liang can't use, and the generals that can be used, are all Marshal Li Wei's parents and adopted sons.

Your ambition to annex Daqi still needs to rely on Marshal Li Wei, so you can only tolerate him more, but you are not saying that General Hong of Daqi is more capable than Marshal Li Wei. Marshal Li Wei wants to break through General Hong's defense line, I am afraid Difficult, the concubine still thinks that His Majesty's idea of ​​surrendering was good, so that Daqi's border can be won without any effort!

But Marshal Li Wei killed General Hong's family, even if His Majesty sent another envoy to meet General Hong and promised a high official and rich salary, General Hong would not agree, and if he was replaced by a concubine, the concubine would not want to stand shoulder to shoulder with the enemy fight. "

After hearing this, the Great Liang Emperor felt moved, put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Concubine Liu Gui earnestly and said, "Ai Concubine, tell me, how can you win Hong Gui over?"

Concubine Liu Gui really thought about it carefully, and then shook her head with shame on her face: "Your Majesty, my concubine can't share your worries, but I have a suggestion. Your majesty is a person who cherishes talents. As long as you show enough sincerity, invite more After a few times, General Hong will always be impressed!"

"What Concubine Ai said is, let's eat!" Emperor Daliang smiled and nodded, then changed the subject.

With a smile on her face, Concubine Liu Gui happily served the Emperor Daliang with food, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she didn't know whether things would develop according to her expectation in the end.

Having accompanied Emperor Great Liang for more than ten years, she was well aware of Emperor Great Liang's temper, and if she said more, she herself might be at risk of being suspected by Emperor Great Liang.

After the Great Liang Emperor finished his lunch, he returned to the front court and called the crown prince to him. No one knew what their father and son had said, but the crown prince had a sad face when he came out of the palace.

As soon as he returned to the East Palace, he said to the servant beside him, "Quickly, go and ask Mr. Liang to come over."

Mr. Liang is in his early forties, a very elegant Han Chinese, and he is also the most trusted aide of Prince Li Shunjie of Great Liang.

Li Shunjie didn't wait for Mr. Liang to finish his ceremony, he helped him up himself, and said urgently: "Mr. Liang, there is no need to be too polite. Not long ago, my father assigned Gu a difficult task. I really have a headache. I hope Mr. Liang Help me complete my mission."

Mr. Liang smiled slightly, helped the prince to sit down, and then said: "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, what task His Majesty has assigned, His Highness will tell his subordinates slowly, and his subordinates will do their best to share His Highness's worries."

Li Shunjie said: "Father wants to surpass Marshal Li Wei and recruit General Hong who surrendered to Qi, but more than ten years ago, Marshal Li Wei killed General Hong's family.

My father said that despite such a deep hatred, General Hong would not be moved by the high officials and rich salary he promised, but this was not what my father intended, so my father wants to try again, let me think about it , What kind of sincerity can impress General Hong. "

After listening to the prince's words, Mr. Liang lowered his eyes silently. According to what he learned, when His Majesty went to the harem at noon, his face was dark and dark. When he came out of the harem again, his face was relaxed. There is something wrong with Concubine Liu Gui ah.

Then he changed his mind, pondered over the prince's words carefully, then looked up at the prince and said, "Your Highness, to impress General Hong's sincerity, I'm afraid that Marshal Li Wei would risk his life, but the price is too high, and the subordinate I don't think it can win over Hong Gui either."

Li Shunjie's face changed drastically, and he said eagerly: "Sir, can you be more specific?"

But Mr. Liang asked suddenly: "Your Highness, can you read the information collected by Daqi for His Highness?"

Li Shunjie immediately dodged his eyes, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "Sir, you also know that the father was unwell some time ago, and handed over a lot of government affairs to Gu, so I haven't had time to read the information."

Mr. Liang, as the prince's staff, can he not know whether the prince is really busy or fake?

Seeing that the prince was lying, he did not expose the prince, but sighed heavily: "His Royal Highness, it is better to read all the information when you find time, because your highness will have to take the information to meet your majesty later, if your majesty asks , but His Highness can't answer, has His Highness thought about the consequences?"

Li Shunjie's face froze, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes, and he said in a serious tone: "Mr. Liang, don't worry, Gu will definitely read the information, so what is the method of the sir?"

Mr. Liang quickly said: "Your Highness, this subordinate just said that it is possible to impress General Hong's sincerity. It was Marshal Li Wei who risked his life for his life, but this matter is going to be carried out. This subordinate feels that it is too risky. It's a waste of time to fetch water, so your Highness might as well..."

Chen Huiyin stayed at the Sirius Army Mansion until the end of the month, and after meeting Tang Yaoling, she returned to Daping Village. When she arrived home, Mr. Wu sent someone to call her.

Chen Huiyin guessed that there might be news from Daliang, so she informed her parents and hurried to the study room in the backyard of the school next door.

After meeting the gentleman and sitting down opposite him, she couldn't wait to ask: "Sir, but there is news from Great Liang?"

Wu Shengzhe nodded, and handed the secret letter to Chen Huiyin, saying: "This news has just arrived, and I have already read it as a teacher. Please read it first, and then tell me your opinion."

Chen Huiyin quickly scanned the contents of the note at a glance, and then handed the note back to Mr. before saying, "Sir, during my absence, did Hong Gui lead the army to fight against the Tianwei Army?"

Wu Shengzhe nodded: "Helan Mountain sent back messages four times. The first time was the day after you left. Li Wei led his troops to attack at night. First, he wanted to get back his eldest son's body. At that time, the defense line of the military fort was broken, but Hong Gui seemed to have expected it, and arranged it early, and he even approached Li Wei.

That old guy was also cunning, seeing that he couldn't beat Hong Gui, he turned around and fled. His personal soldiers tried their best to stop him, but Hong Gui finally gave up his pursuit because of his injuries. The Tianwei army retreated into Liangzhou city overnight, Hong Gui returned without success this time, two days later, Hong Gui attacked the city again, but it still ended in failure.

Just this morning, Helan Mountain sent back the fourth news that the Tianwei Army is currently guarding Liangzhou City, and Hong Gui is stationed ten miles away from Liangzhou City with his troops. He will lead troops outside Liangzhou City every day. Provocative, but Li Wei directly asked people to hang up the exemption card, but refused to fight. "

Chen Huiyin sighed, and said softly: "Marshal Li Wei is old after all, and his strength is naturally inferior to that of Hong Gui, who is in his prime. This stalemate may not come to fruition until mid-October."
