Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 285

[Chapter 285]

Xiliang, Wuwei City.

In the southeast corner, in the courtyard at the corner of Dongting Street, Cui Yan looked at the middle-aged scribe in front of him and frowned.

This person claimed to be Zhu Liang, a member of the Ma family.

On the order of the head of the Ma family, he came to Wuwei City to meet him, and asked him to introduce him to Xiliang Shanyu Muronghao.

In addition, the middle-aged scribe also brought a letter from the Dou family, and he was very familiar with the handwriting on it.

So no more doubts.

“I’m sorry to bother Captain Cui. This matter has a lot to do with it, and there will be a big thank you after it’s done,” Zhu Liang said.

To be on the safe side, Ma Jin did not send any of the Ma family’s children.

“It’s easy to say, easy to say.” Cui Yan said with a smile, but there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Beidi Black Tiewei promised him that as long as he betrayed Da Song, they would notify the Dou family to send his wife and children to Xiliang.

But now, he didn’t even see a single hair.

In this letter from Dou’s family, he still played sloppy with him.

Said that when the time comes, they will send people.

He knew that the Dou family hadn’t finished using him, and was afraid that he would be disobedient, so they used his wife and children as bargaining chips.

After burning the letter from Dou’s family, Cui Yan said to Zhu Liang: “Just wait for a while, I will go to see Li’s staff and I will come back.”

After speaking, he went to Li Xin’s house.

Halfway through the journey, a general from Xiliang came to meet him.

Seeing Cui Yan, the Xiliang general suddenly spit and landed at Cui Yan’s feet.

Cui Yan looked over, but the Xiliang general was not afraid, and after a mocking laugh, he cursed, “Song dog!”

Hearing this, Cui Yan didn’t dare to refute, but just bowed his head and hurried on.

Behind him, the Xiliang general laughed even louder.

Suffocated, Cui Yan went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

After the notification, Cui Yan was called in.

“Lord Li, someone from Qinzhou’s Ma family has arrived.” Seeing Li Xin, Cui Yan bowed and saluted.

Li Xin nodded.

It was for this reason that he met Cui Yan.

“It’s getting more and more interesting to praise the court. Their goal is King Yan, right?” Li Xin said.

Cui Yan was startled, “How does the prime minister know?”

“Hehe, if the conspiracy of the Dasong powerful clan is only to control the Ma family, why would the Ma family send people to Xiliang? But I, Xiliang, was ordered to deal with King Yan. We agreed.” Li Xin said with his hands behind his back.

“Everyone in Wuwei City says that Li’s staff is smarter than ordinary people, and it’s true.” Cui Yan laughed.

Li Xin nodded, “Let that person come over and see what he says, and I’ll think about whether to sue Shan Yu.”

Cui Yan said yes.

After arriving in Xiliang, he felt very unwell.

The people here serve their hair differently from those in Dasong.

In order to integrate into Xiliang, he took the initiative to shave off his hair, just like Xiliang people.

But his identity as a great eulogist still cannot be concealed.

Many Xiliang generals were very unfriendly to him.

At least they insulted him, and some even beat him.

Only here with Li Xin, he can feel more comfortable.

Because Li Xin’s appearance is the same as his, and it is the appearance of a Da Song person.

And he also knew that Li Xin’s background was from Dasong people living in Xiliang.

Thinking of being bullied by Xiliang generals just now, he said: “Staff Li, the last general rebelled from Dasong and helped Xiliang take Jinzhou. This is a great achievement, but many Xiliang generals often bully the last general. , I hope Master Li will make the decision.”

“Oh, I will report this matter to Shan Yu.” Li Xin seemed to lose interest when he heard this.

Cui Yan lowered his head and didn’t notice Li Xin’s expression. He said: “Thank you, my lord. My lord is the same as the last general. I hope you can support me a lot.”

Hearing this, Li Xin’s expression changed, and he said angrily: “Bold, who is the same as you? My ancestors have lived in Xiliang for generations, and they are true Xiliang people. If you continue to talk nonsense, you will be punished for disrespect!”

Cui Yan’s face turned pale with fright, and his heart Almost jumped out of the chest.

He said anxiously: “Yes, yes, yes, the general understands, and dare not talk nonsense again.”

“Don’t go and call the people from the Ma family.” Li Xin shouted.

Cui Yan hurriedly bowed and retreated.

When he went out, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

Angrily said: “Li Xin, do you think that if you know Xiliang dialect, Xiliang language, and become a staff member of Xiliang, Xiliang people will treat you as their own? It’s ridiculous, deceiving yourself.” After

venting, he was even more depressed .

He knew very well that Da Song couldn’t go back, and from now on even if he lived like a dog in Xiliang, he had to live on.

After returning to his yard, he led Zhu Liang to Li Xin’s residence.

But the gatekeeper of Li’s mansion only led Zhu Liang in, but blocked him from the door.

Zhu Liang turned around and saw that Cui Yan hadn’t followed.

Although he was puzzled, he went straight to see Li Xin.

Handed him a letter.

After reading the letter, Li Xin was silent for a long time.

This letter is not signed, but the tone of the text seems to be the person in charge of the Ma family.

First of all, he told him when Da Song sent troops to Jinzhou.

At the same time, a plan was mentioned in the letter.

The Ma family and Xiliang are going to play a play, which will benefit both the Ma family and Xiliang.

The ultimate goal of this play is to weaken the king of Yan, and the Ma family gets credit for fulfilling Beidi’s order with Xiliang.

According to the statement in the letter.

When the Ma family’s army encountered the Xiliang army, the two sides should send people to communicate secretly in time to discuss how to fight.

Or the Ma family swindled? Or is Xiliang feigning defeat? In short, there can’t be a real confrontation.

Such convenience does not require the loss of soldiers.

At the same time, the two parties can also jointly design a trap.

For example, let the Ma family’s army deliberately ask the King of Yan for help.

Xiliang’s army lay in ambush around them, waiting for King Yan’s troops to arrive, they would fight out and so on.

After reading it, Li Xin nodded slightly.

In this way, the Ma family is no longer an opponent of Xiliang, but a helper.

They Xiliang can defeat King Yan with the least cost.

And what they paid was to pretend to lose a few big battles to the Ma family.

Let the Ma family ask for credit from the court.

When Xiliang defeated King Yan, the Ma family would withdraw from Jinzhou.

At that time, all the responsibility for the failure will be blamed on King Yan.

After all, the Ma family had won many battles, and King Yan was holding back.

“Good, good, good…” Li Xin said three good words in succession.

If it is true as stated in the letter, he fully agrees.

And what happened to Cui Yan last time proved to be true.

This made him even more suspicious of this matter.

The struggle within Dasong will benefit Xiliang.

More importantly, he and Murong Hao could see that Beidi intended to let Xiliang and King Yan attack each other, and he watched the fire from the sidelines to gain the greatest benefit in the end.

It’s just that they surrendered to Beidi, and they had to obey Mu Lehong’s orders, but they also didn’t want to waste too much.

“I’m going to see Shan Yu now.” Li Xin looked excited.

Cui Yan’s rebellion was already a great achievement.

If this is facilitated, it will be another great achievement.

He hurried to Shan Yu’s mansion, and he met Murong Hao.

After reporting this matter, he waited quietly for Murong Hao’s reply.

“Shan Yu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to complete the task Beidi gave us without compromising too much.” Li Xin said.

Murong Hao pondered for a while, just as Li Xin said.

What Cui Yan did last time proved to be a success.

It’s worth the risk this time, because it won’t get any worse.

He said: “This is really the blessing that God has bestowed on Xiliang, and I will agree to the Ma family this time.”
