Ding Zhiru accompanied Yu Xinyuan, Sun Jingxuan, and Chen Huawen into the camp of Kip Stone Mountain, and Dong Yuan also set up a banquet to treat each other, and after the banquet, in the name of not getting early, he first arranged for Yu Xinyuan, Sun Jingxuan, and Chen Huawen to rest in the camp.

The accommodation of this arrangement, Yu Xinyuan is in the east, and Sun Jingxuan and Chen Huawen are in the west, separated from each other, and they are not in one place.

Sun Jingxuan and Chen Huawen are naturally at ease, as long as Dong Yuan does not refuse, there is no big problem in delaying three or five days to talk about business; Yu Xinyuan's mind is difficult to settle down, Yue Lengqiu has already stated in Chizhou, Huaixi is the last straw they can catch.

Compared with Yue Lengqiu, Huaixi has more strength to compete with Huaidong.

There are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Huaixi, operating in Haosi, Shouzhou, Wuyang, Xinyang and other places, and there are also years. Tao Chun guarded the Voryang River, and it was also the most important military stronghold in Huaixi on the north bank of the Huai River, in order to prevent the soldiers and horses of the Yan Lu from besieging the city for a long time, the grain reserves of the Vortex Yang City have been maintained for more than half a year.

Even if Huaidong cuts off Huaixi's grain and straw, Huaixi's soldiers and horses will not make a big mess for three or five months.

But can the people of Huaixi turn their faces with Huaidong and force their families into a situation of death and then life?

There is a mountain temple in Kip Stone Mountain, and the military camp is also rebuilt according to the mountain temple, which is like a mountain city at this time.

The barracks are not so spacious, nor so comfortable, the walls of the single house where Yu Xinyuan lives are empty, and the roof is also thatched, listening to the strong wind swirling between the river and the mountain wall, people are worried about when the roof will be taken away - the house has a brazier, charcoal is burning in the copper basin, Yu Xinyuan feels the slightest warmth, there is a small window on the north side, open to see the Huai River under the mountain wall. The Huai River at night is like a black, sparkling ribbon, and the sound of waves mixed with the sound of the wind comes from the wind.

Someone walked outside the door, and the attendant who accompanied him to the north pushed the door in first, and said, "The prince of Chu is here......

Yu Xinyuan, who was almost desperate, heard that Chu Wang Yuanhancheng was visiting at this time, it was tantamount to catching a straw when he was drowning, but when there was still a glimmer of opportunity for things to turn around, he was immediately overjoyed, walked out, and saw that Chu Wang Yuanhan was established in the atrium, and said again and again, "The prince of Chu is really polite, if there is something to summon, the heart source is ......."

Yuan Hancheng smiled: "Lord Yu is polite. He threw his hand back and walked into the house with Yu Xinyuan's arm.

"Xinyuan also stayed in Shouzhou for several days, and the emperor also sent people to ask for news twice in Juchao," Yu Xinyuan didn't care about the demeanor and temptation, and went straight to the point when he entered the house, saying, "Sun Chen and the others, although they came with grain, but they are tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, Lord Chu, you are always in Xuzhou, and you have not suffered Huaidong's loss, this time you have to hold it!" ”

Yuan Hancheng asked Yu Xinyuan to sit down in front of the brazier, and motioned for Yu to go out with his entourage so that they could talk.

"Lord Yu, this king also asks you, Huaidong with the will of the Queen Mother, set up a new emperor in Jiangning, how should Luzhou deal with it? How should Huaixi deal with it? Yuan Hancheng asked.

Yu Xinyuan was slightly stunned, and then said: "As long as Huaixi supports the emperor, Huaidong will not dare to risk the world!" ”

Yuan Hancheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "There is nothing that must dare to follow, if the emperor refuses to return to Jiangning, Huaidong Feng Empress Dowager will set up a new emperor in Jiangning, it is almost certain - if Lord Yu has Yu Ce, this king can invite Lord Dong to come over and talk together, if Lord Yu can only say these words, this king can only accompany Lord Yu to drink a few more glasses of wine." ”

Yu Xinyuan said in a panic: "Lord Chu, you are always a giant of the clan, can you bear to watch the powerful ministers bully the imperial family?" ”

"It's not forbearance, but the situation is like this," Yuan Hancheng said, "Saying these words, the king's mood is not good, if you want to say loyalty, Lord Liu, Lord Dong, which one is not loyal to the emperor, but Jiangnan and Jiangbei have fallen into a rupture, and Huaixi has been attacked from both sides, and I am afraid that it will not be able to survive even three months." The emperor made an edict to go back to Jiangning, although it is not so decent, but it is better than being the king of a dead country......"

"The prince of Chu dares to say that Lin Tie has no ambitions?" Yu Xinyuan asked.

"Lord Yu, listen to what I say," Yu Xinyuan said, "The situation is like this, and it is a last resort to drink to quench your thirst, not to mention that there are ministers inside and outside the country who are loyal to the emperor, and Duke Peng Cheng will be more or less restrained." What is missing right now is time. Yue Du is in Chizhou, there is no foundation, Huaixi still has to rely on the south, Jinghu and Xiangtan are also subject to Changle bandits and extravagant rebellion for a while, and it is difficult to make great achievements. In time, Yue Du will stabilize his foothold in Chizhou, Huaixi soldiers and horses can be rich in food and clothing in Shouhao and other places, Changle bandits and extravagant rebellion will be eliminated, can Huaidong still be rampant? If the emperor can't give in at this time, even if Yue Du and I are loyal and unchangeable, what will be the situation? Chizhou's grain and straw are still dependent on the supply of Dongyang Mansion for the time being, and if there is no grain, Yue Du will not be able to maintain 30,000 soldiers and horses in Chizhou. In the final analysis, Yue Du's extravagant rebellion is also to increase the emperor's bargaining chips at this time! The situation that Huaixi is facing, Lord Yu is not ignorant ......"

Yu Xinyuan sat there, at a loss in his heart, he was going to persuade the Huaixi people to fight against Huaidong, but he didn't expect the Huaixi people to persuade him in turn......

Seeing Yu Xinyuan sitting there with his soul lost, Yuan Hancheng was also pitiful to the same disease, and the people in Huaixi were forced to choose to compromise, naturally there was no slightest smugness, and they were all lost dogs.

Yuan Hancheng saw Yu Xinyuan sitting speechless, and continued: "If Huaidong wants to hold the government, it must not be achieved overnight. Even if the Queen Mother and King Lu are willing to use Huaidong at this time, they will maintain the clan after all, and the key is that the emperor can go back......"

Although Yu Xinyuan's heart is as cold as ashes, his brain is still spinning, and what Yuan Hancheng said is indeed reasonable.

Yuan Hancheng said bitterly: "Lord Yu may not be angry with the Queen Mother and King Lu for Huaidong's use, but this root has been buried since the Ninglu dispute. The queen mother was used by Huaidong, in the final analysis, to fight for the name of righteousness, to fight for imperial power, and to divide the clans, so she had to be used by Huaidong...... In this dispute, the government and the opposition will inevitably split into the imperial party and the rear party. Shen Rong followed the Queen Mother into Jiangning, and Yue Du also handed over the guilty fold to Wanshou Palace, Liang Chengchong of Nanyang, the former Yongchang Houyuan returned to power, and Liang Chengyi of Hezhong Mansion, they did not have the intention of submitting to Huaidong, but their hearts were towards the Queen Mother. If the emperor is unwilling to return in the nest, the north and the south are divided, and each has an emperor, which will force Weiyangfu, Nanyang and Yuedu's Jiangzhou army to stand on the same front with Huaidong and attack Luzhou and Huaixi together...... But as long as the emperor goes to Jiangning, although he will bend the emperor, the division of the clan will no longer exist, and the situation will not make Yue Du, Shen Rong, the Liang brothers and me and other Huaixi people make any more difficult choices between the emperor and the queen mother. Only by twisting the imperial party and the rear party into a rope can it be possible to fight against Huaidong! ”

Yu Xinyuan's mind also gradually became more lively for Yuan Hancheng, his eyes were more angry, he looked up at Yuan Hancheng, and wanted to see how many of Yuan Hancheng's eyes were true and how many were false.

"Lord Yu, do you think what this king said is not reasonable?" Yuan Hancheng asked.

"Then there are people in the Liang family in Shouzhou?" Yu Xinyuan asked.

"Dong Yuan went to patrol the camp in Wuyang, and before he returned, he went to patrol Huai, and met with Marquis Yuan in Xinyang." Yuan Hancheng also told Dong Yuan about his meeting with Yuan Guizheng.

This scenery is really in turn, when Liang Chengchong led the remnants of the Liang family to Nanyang, Huaidong supported Liang Chengchong to gain a foothold in Nanyang, and there was the intention of containing Huaixi.

The deceit and rain above the court are not as good as the marshals of this foreign domain!

Indeed, once Emperor Yongxing returned to Jiangning, he would inevitably be subject to the Queen Mother, and the division between the clans would no longer exist.

It turned out that Dong Yuan and the others had already made a good calculation, and now they want to work with Huaidong to force the emperor to return to the court! Yue Lengqiu just took a step first.

Indeed, Yue Lengqiu, the Liang brothers, and the Huaixi people still have choices, and they all have the capital to bargain with Huaidong, but he only has room for dying and struggling.

Yuan Hancheng peeked at Yu Xinyuan's face, figured out his heart, and said: "Lord Dong and Lord Liu also said that the defeat of Huizhou, Xie Chaozhong, as the general of the army, is naturally unavoidable, but the emperor also has to bear most of the responsibility, but Lord Yu is dedicated to the court, even if there is a mistake in words, but it is not much of a fault, Lord Dong and Lord Liu are willing to intercede for Lord Yu, please ask the Queen Mother and her old man to open up the net......"

Yu Xinyuan's eyes lit up, Yuan Hancheng offered him conditions, but he also understood that the premise of Huaixi to protect him was that he had to obey Huaixi's arrangement and seek the greatest benefits for Huaixi when persuading the emperor to return to the capital.

Yu Xinyuan didn't have too much extravagance at this time, it was impossible to return to the capital with the emperor, and it was impossible to maintain the previous position, even if the official position was different, it would be empty, but when he was captured by the luxury family, he at least wanted to save the Yu family from destroying the family.

Speaking of which, even if he has to bear the responsibility for the defeat of Huizhou, it is not the crime of stealing his family and exterminating the clan. But before he negotiated with Huaidong, Yu Xinyuan really didn't dare to go back to Jiangning!

Who knows how many people Huaidong and the Queen Mother will take advantage of the defeat of Huizhou and the abandonment of the capital?

"Thank you Lord for your love," it was a matter of his life, and Yu Xinyuan didn't care about his manners, so he stood up and saluted, "But if there is something difficult to do, please ask the prince to command!" ”

Yuan Hancheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that Yu Xinyuan cares about his own life, so all this will be easy to do.

Jiangning has sent Liu to Luzhou to greet him, and if he really wants to smoothly welcome the emperor back to Jiangning from Luzhou, Liu Zhi will inevitably divide and win over the officials who fled with the emperor to the west.

Huaidong will carry out a major purge, but judging from the current situation, it is impossible for Huaidong to be bloody. In fact, to save Yu Xinyuan's life, it can't be a condition.

But things are messy about themselves, involving their own lives, it is difficult for Yu Xinyuan to keep a rational way to consider the problem, with the protection of Huaixi, and even when Sun Jingxuan and Chen Huawen are in Shouzhou, they negotiated this condition, and Yu Xinyuan can return to the emperor with peace of mind.

With this layer of protection, Yu Xinyuan's mind became active, and he could gradually understand the intention of Yuan Hancheng, the king of Chu, to come over on behalf of the Huaixi people: at this time, the fierce confrontation with Huaidong will only be fought by chickens and eggs, and if you want to die, Huaixi will die first; It is in the interests of Huaixi to retreat and take advantage of the opportunity of Huaidong's eagerness to welcome the emperor back to the court, strive for more favorable conditions, and carry out closer alliances with Chizhou, Nanyang, and even Jinghu and Xiangtan - at this time, Huaixi has regarded the emperor as a pawn to be used, rather than to protect the emperor, but Huaixi cannot directly control the emperor, and wants to use the emperor to strive for more and more direct interests for Huaixi, and there is no more suitable person than Yu Xinyuan at the moment.

Thinking of this, Yu Xinyuan didn't just want to save his life anymore. Huaidong must not want to make extraneous troubles in the emperor's return to the court, thinking of this, Yu Xinyuan secretly thought: Maybe I should talk to Sun Jingxuan and Chen Huawen tomorrow? G！ ~！
