Fu Song

Chapter 187
"What Li Xu can give you, we can give you too!" Cheng Gui smiled and put down the buttered tea in his hand, he was really not used to drinking it. "What Li Xu can't give you, we can give you too!"

Sitting cross-legged on the felt blanket, Yu Zang Huama is only thirty-seven years old this year. He is not tall, but he is thick enough. Sitting there is like a door panel. His long hair is tied with a piece of cloth. The huge piece of precious jade in the middle is like the third eye.

Yuzang Huama, who looks like a savage face, gives people the impression of being fierce and arrogant at first glance, but Cheng Gui will never think that Yuzang Huama is a person who has no intentions.

In fact, to be able to become the head of a clan and firmly control such a large clan, it is absolutely impossible to rely on force alone.

A person like Yuzang Huama definitely has both strength and scheming.

A person with well-developed limbs and a simple mind would definitely not be able to sit in his position.

"Of course I believe Cheng Chaofeng's words." Yuzang Huama sat upright, put his hands in front of his belly, clasped his fingers, and looked at Cheng Gui with a smile: "However, what I doubt very much is your integrity. It’s a question of whether it can be fulfilled by then.”

"There is absolutely no problem with this!" Cheng Gui said with certainty.

Yuzang Huama shook his head and said: "Cheng Chaofeng, what you say is unfounded! In my memory, it's not like your officials in frontiers did not do this kind of thing like crossing rivers and demolishing bridges before. Now this person is still in your court He is in a high position! And the person who was deceived by his promise back then has long since turned into a pile of dry bones."

"You can rest assured about Bachelor Ma's character!" Cheng Guiqian said with a smile. Of course, he knew the person Yuzang Huama mentioned, but even so, there was no reason to help outsiders bury his own people.

"I'm helping Li Xu, and I don't worry about his fulfilling his promise." Yu Zang Huama continued: "Because he is the weak side, he needs to unite all the people he can unite to help him resist the Song Dynasty, so He, we can definitely take whatever we want, but Da Song, there is absolutely no such possibility. Even if I regret the agreement afterwards, I have nothing to do, because I can't beat you!"

"This is a question that requires mutual trust between the two parties. Dare to ask the patriarch, how can you trust our sincerity?" Cheng Gui asked seriously.

"I don't know about this." Yuzang Huama spread his hands and said, "I'm just a savage who doesn't know how to solve this problem, so I ask for a tutorial."

Cheng Gui was silent for a while, and said: "The patriarch should know that Da Song and Li Xu's strength is not on the same level at all, whether it is military or economic. To deal with Li Xu, Da Song just dispatched a group of soldiers Horses, that is, Shaanxi Road, and like Shaanxi Road, there are a total of twenty-four in the Song Dynasty."

"Of course I know that." Yuzang Huama said with a smile.

"So the patriarch thinks that Li Xu will have a future?"

"That's not necessarily true!" Yu Zang Hua said: "Didn't you all watch Li Xu grow up helplessly all these years without any help?"

"It's not that there is no way, but that some people are faint and incompetent!" Cheng Gui sneered: "Now that Bachelor Ma came up, Li Xu immediately fell into a desperate situation, didn't he? Patriarch, follow Li Xu, failure is inevitable. Moreover, you should also know that when I act in the Song Dynasty, I will never put all the eggs in one basket, when I am talking to you here, there are envoys who have already gone to Wooden Blanket and Blind Medicine!"

Yuzang Huama's face changed slightly: "They are far away from the water and cannot be rescued from the near fire. I have a fast horse and a sharp knife here. Cheng Chaofeng, are you threatening me? If you fail in this battle, Li Xu can The counter-offensive, plus Li Du is now in Suide, I am afraid that your Shaanxi Road will be messed up, and regardless of victory or defeat, within a few years, will you still have the ability to cross Hengshan?"

"As long as we defend Hengshan, we will be defeated this time, and Yu Da Song is just suffering from scabies." Cheng Feng said with a chuckle, "It's just a matter of waiting a few years for a comeback. But Patriarch Yu Zang, how about you, at that time Why are you here?"

"What do you mean?"

"The meaning is very clear!" Cheng Gui said: "Patriarch Yuzang, your little power is indeed very important in this battle, and it can influence the outcome of the battle, otherwise I would not have come. But put it in the whole world, please Forgive me, it’s too insignificant. Our Da Song officials have such a mind and reputation, so as long as you are obedient, they will never do anything to you! But Li Xuke is different. Even if he wins this time, his strength It will also be greatly damaged, how to quickly restore strength? Naturally, the annexation of a tribe like yours will come the fastest, don’t you think so?”

Yu Zang Huama was stunned, and then laughed loudly: "You sow dissension, it really speaks from the bottom of my heart! But when we're talking about this, let's go back again, how can Bachelor Ma win my trust? Cheng Chaofeng, we are savages, so we don’t believe in empty talk, without real things, it’s impossible to reassure me! You know, I still need to convince my clansmen!”

You look thick, so you are a rough person?Cheng Gui complained deep in his heart.Before the disintegration of the Tubo Empire, the Yuzang family was one of the most famous wealthy families in the Tubo Empire. Even though the Tubo Empire had collapsed, the Yuzang family was still a well-known existence on the plateau.

The head of such a family has received no less education and knowledge than any elite in Song Dynasty.

"This is a letter written by Bachelor Ma to you. It is written and signed by Master Ma, and it is stamped with Master Ma's official seal and private seal!" Cheng Gui clapped his hands, and a young Song warrior sitting in the corner of the room came over and held the letter The box in his hand was placed in front of Yuzang Huama.

Yuzang Huama pressed his hand on the box, seeing that the Song warrior hadn't retreated, he couldn't help but glance at him in surprise.The young warrior smiled and said, "Ma Yun has met Patriarch Yuzang."

"Ma Yun?" Yuzang Huama whispered.

"Exactly." Cheng Gui on the side said: "Our bachelor's eldest son. He was planning to go to Bianliang to participate in this year's Jinshi examination. Because of this, Bachelor Ma left him first, and this time he came with me. , even if we plan to let him stay with the patriarch, after this battle is over, and then rush to Bianliang as fast as possible, there will be no delay!"

Ma Xing sent his eldest son to Yu Zang as a hostage, and his sincerity is not insignificant.

Of course Yuzang knew that Ma Xing had several daughters, but he only had one son.Moreover, it is said that he is extremely knowledgeable and a well-known talent on Shaanxi Road.Sending his only son to Yuzang as a hostage left Yuzang Huama with nothing to say.

"I don't know if Patriarch Yu Zang is satisfied with this guarantee?" Cheng Gui said.

Yuzang Huama nodded.

"Patriarch, in our Great Song Dynasty, there are so many people in Jisuozhou. One more you is not too many, and one less you is a lot!" Cheng Gui said: "If you rely on the Great Song Dynasty and get on the line of Bachelor Ma, in the future, no matter whether it is economically In terms of military affairs, Bachelor Ma will definitely help you, whether it is blind medicine or wooden felt, what else can you do?"

Yu Zang Huama smiled without saying a word.

"Furthermore, during this journey, I see that the people under the Clan Tiao's command have lived a really hard life. After this battle is won, the life of the nobles will definitely change a lot, and this will definitely be of great help to the improvement of the prestige of the Clan Head. "Cheng Gui said.

"Cheng Chaofeng is absolutely right." Yuzang Huama stretched out his hand and said, "The next ten thousand elites of our clan will only follow Cheng Chaofeng's lead."

The two hands were tightly clasped together, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

At a night banquet, Cheng Gui, who completed the task, got drunk.

Yuzang Huama, who didn't drink less at all, still had bright eyes, and there was only one person left in his big tent, fighting hard.

The two sat cross-legged opposite each other.

"Tuoba, do you know that a large part of the reason I made this decision today is because your brother chose the Song Dynasty!" Yuzang Huama said in a deep voice, "Your elder brother has been vacillating in Hengshan for so many years. He refuses to give any one side a letter, but this time he chose the Song Dynasty, he must have made a decision, is he so unfavorable to Li Xu?"

Tuoba Fenwu said: "This time I came here, my elder brother specifically asked me to find an opportunity to have a good talk with the patriarch. I didn't expect that the patriarch and my elder brother have a good understanding!"

"What do you mean?"

"The elder brother chose not the Song Dynasty, but the Xiao brothers!" Tuoba Fenwu said in a low voice.

"What? It's Xiao Ding who is leading his troops towards Xingqing Mansion right now?" Yuzang Huama said in surprise, "He is a small commander, how can He De convince your brother?"

"That's all for Xiao Ding, his younger brother Xiao Cheng is a real character!" Tuoba Fenwu said with a smile: "Patriarch Yuzang, for our current party members, we can only survive by relying on one party." Come down, this is an indisputable fact, just like the situation of your patriarch Yuzang. Speaking of which, Li Xu was originally a good choice, and he is also a member of our Dangxiang clan. It's a pity that he was a little short after all. My elder brother thinks that this person is absolutely impossible to succeed. Once we are tied to him, the failure of this person in the future will inevitably implicate our entire Hengshan party. Song people already regard us as barbarians. I'm afraid they will be driven to death."

"You can choose the Xiao brothers, so what's the matter?" Yuzang Huama asked in confusion.

"Because my eldest brother thinks that the Xiao brothers may open up a real way out for our party members." Tuoba Fenwu said.

"They are from the Song Dynasty, and they are a small group of people in power among the Song people. They are powerful, powerful, and extremely prosperous!" Yuzang Huama said suspiciously: "What is the basis of your elder brother's judgment? Come?"

"I'm just going to have a good talk with the patriarch, in the future, maybe we can come together!" Tuoba Fenwu said: "Xiao Erlang, who used to be in charge, has now returned to the capital, and his arrangement is just that there is such a The trend, what my elder brother means, is to push hard at the right time. If the patriarch Yuzang joins in and really acts, it will be easier."

"Your elder brother believes me?" Yuzang Huama laughed.

"Because my elder brother knows very well that the patriarch of Yuzang will never be reconciled to just being a magistrate of Suozhou, a tyrant who occupies one side." Tuoba Fenwu said: "Return to Qingtang, go to the plateau, and restore the glory of the former empire , is what you want to do, right?"

Yuzang Huama snorted coldly, sat up straight, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Forgive me, the strength of Patriarch Yuzang alone is too weak. Just a wooden blanket or blind medicine will force you to go far away. How can you make things happen without introducing external forces?"

"With the introduction of external forces, is that still called restoring the glory of the former empire?"

"Why do we have to restore the glory of the former empire? Why can't we build another glorious empire!" Tuoba Fenwu said with a smile.

Yuzang Huama's eyes narrowed all of a sudden, and he said after a while, "Your elder brother has this idea? He also wants to imitate Li Xu, want to get over the addiction of being an emperor?"

"My eldest brother has never thought about this, but he has been thinking about being the head of a country!" Tuoba Fenwu spread his hands and said.

Yuzang Huama suddenly understood, looked at Tuoba Fenwu, his long and narrow eyes widened, and said after a while, "This is beyond my expectation."

"But it's also very interesting and challenging, right?" Tuoba Fenwu laughed: "How about it, does Patriarch Yuzang want to join?"

Yuzang Huama laughed loudly: "Some time ago someone told me to let me go. Now Hengshan is completely different from the past. They brought a lot of exquisite utensils, delicious salt, etc. I am still feeling the change. How it happened, now I understand. Go back and tell your brother, why don’t I join such an interesting game? If it succeeds, the reward I want to get will be beyond imagination. But that man, really Is it worthy of your big brother's support?"

"This person is still very admirable." Tuoba Fenwu smiled and said: "However, his younger brother Xiao Cheng is even more surprising. The layout in just a few months is very impressive. Although so far, Brother still can't figure out what Xiao Cheng's purpose is, but it doesn't prevent us from taking advantage of this situation to complete this great cause!"

"When the time comes, we will cross the river and tear down the bridge, and dump them?"

"That's impossible!" Tuoba Fenwu shook his head and said, "This is what my eldest brother admires Xiao Cheng the most, because his arrangement brings everyone together. If you want to cross the river and demolish the bridge, you will kill yourself. And This situation will only get stronger as time goes on.”

"Really?"

"Really!" Tuoba Fenwu said: "After this battle is over, you will be able to meet my elder brother. I am a rough person, and I don't understand many things, but my elder brother is clear."

"Your eldest brother is one of the few people I admire in my life, and I have no doubts in his judgment!" Yuzang Huama nodded.
