Chapter 637 Whose territory (two in one)

The person who came to see Xu Huainan was none other than Li Yishan, the number one counselor in the Beiliang Palace.

The two of them were old acquaintances.

When Hong Jia fled to the north twenty years ago, the reason why Li Yishan intervened was not only to work with Yuan Benxi to strengthen Beimang to ensure the importance of Beiliang, but also had another layer of planning.

That is to insert a nail at a high enough position and high enough in Beimang Chaotang. If Beiliang really wants to conquer Beimang in the future, it can play a key role.

This nail is Xu Huainan.

Of course, it is definitely not appropriate to simply use a nail to describe this powerful minister who was once under one person in Beimang.

In fact, he just had an agreement with Xu Xiao at that time.

Xu Xiao would work secretly to help him overcome some obstacles that were difficult to remove on his way to promotion, while he would betray Xu Xiao when he really needed it, become an undercover agent for Beiliang, and help Beiliang achieve its goal of annexing Beimang.

I have been waiting for more than twenty years.

The high-spirited and good man back then has now become a grandfather figure.

Although Xu Huainan has retired for a long time, his family is still rich and powerful in Beimang.

Will he still abide by the agreement he made back then?





"It's been a long time, I never thought you would leave Tingchaoting one day."

Xu Huainan did not receive Li Yishan at his home, but took him to an oasis with gurgling streams.

Hu Lao still has power, even though he has been decentralized for several years, but as the prime minister of the Beiyuan who was once under the Beimang Emperor's court, Beimang does not dare to relax for a moment.

I don’t know how many cobwebs are lurking in my home.

It's better to come to a place like this where the sky is high and the sky is high, at least the conversation will not be overheard.

"People change...just like I didn't expect that you would be idle at home because of a dispute with the empress."

There is something in Li Yishan's words.

Because this is not the first time Xu Huainan has retired.

After Xu Huainan entered Beimang, his first great achievement was to support the current Empress Murong to seize the throne, which can be regarded as a minister of the dragon.

This contribution was enough to make him a confidant of the empress, but it was not enough to make everyone in the Beimang court admire him.

The second great achievement was when Li Yang first settled in the Central Plains.

At that time, Xu Xiao marched into Beimang with the intention of wiping out the six kingdoms. His sharpness made everyone in the grassland fearful.

At this moment, Xu Huainan suggested that Empress Murong, who had just ascended to the throne of God and was not even very secure yet, would go on a personal expedition.

When he made this suggestion at that time, he was criticized by many people, saying that he had evil intentions and wanted to take the opportunity to murder the empress.

Of course, the final result was to slap those people hard in the face.

The Empress' personal expedition actually repelled Li Yang's offensive!

Although it was actually Emperor Liyang who restrained Xu Xiao in that battle, this did not prevent Xu Huainan from making great achievements.

Because after that personal expedition, Empress Murong's authority was completely consolidated, and he also took the top position among Beimang's civil servants.

But after all, there is still a question of origin.

As a Central Plains person, I am trying to make a living in Beimang. If you are incompetent, you will be bullied and laughed at by your enemies; but if you are too capable, you will be ostracized by them.

Xu Huainan is certainly no exception.

But he has his own way.

Use retreat to advance.

At his peak, Xu Huainan chose to take off his armor and return to his field, giving up his position.

Of course, his timing was very clever. Because not long after, Beimang ushered in a large-scale northern expedition from Li Yang.

After all, there was still a gap in national strength. Beimang was beaten back steadily at the beginning, which was terrible.

As a last resort, Xu Huainan was asked to leave the cottage again. He formulated strategies and planned the overall situation, and finally caught the weakness of Liyang's three-line generals competing for credit and defeated them in one fell swoop. By the way, he also helped Tuoba Bodhisattva, who was fighting on the front line, become the God of War.

The perfect return of the king slap-in-the-face plot.

From then on, Xu Huainan truly conquered Beimang from top to bottom.

He has secured his position of overwhelming power under one person.

Originally, this should be the best ending for himself and Beiliang.

For yourself, you can enjoy endless glory and wealth.

In Beiliang, Neiying is the only one who can achieve Xu Huainan's level. If he hadn't been from the Central Plains, he would have been able to evade the emperor.

You can imagine how crucial it will be when he chooses to rebel.

but!

Just five years ago, Xu Huainan actually retired again.

The official story is that a servant in his family committed liaison with the enemy and implicated him.

In fact, is it unclear to Beiliang whether there was any liaison with the enemy?

This is pure slander!

The real situation is that when Xu Huainan was governing Beimang, he had a conflict with the empress herself over how to deal with the Murong royal family from which the empress was born.

It has never been a very rare thing for an emperor to have disagreements with his ministers.

But it is still rare for someone to go so far as to have to resign.

Especially from Xu Huainan's point of view, there is really no need for him to go against Empress Murong on this matter!

Even if the empress insists on going her own way and eventually disrupts the Beimang Dynasty, what will happen?

Has he forgotten that he is actually just a senior spy?

Don't tell me, it's really like that.

Facing Li Yishan's strange aura, Xu Huainan, who was seventy years old but showed no signs of fatigue, said softly: "Since you dare to come here to find me in person, I might as well be honest with you and say a few words that I planned to bring into the coffin. To be honest, the reason why I agreed to your plan in the first place was mainly because I was holding back my anger towards Chunqiu and Liyang, and wanted to cause trouble for them first. I had no intention of being loyal to Beimang.

"But, people will change. Before I came, Beimang was a reluctant country, let alone a dynasty. It was just a group of tribes living together. Over the past few decades, I have worked hard to finally build Beimang into a With its current appearance, this special area of ​​the Southern Dynasties was built. It has the roughness of the Northern Mang, but without losing the delicacy and refinement of the Central Plains. The two styles are perfectly blended here. Looking at it, it is like seeing the most beautiful scene in the world. An outstanding work. I really can’t bear to destroy it with my own hands!”

These words were so sincere and heartfelt that even Li Yishan fell silent.

Indeed, Xu Huainan had no loyalty to Beimang from beginning to end. All he could not let go of was the land built by his own hands. This is also the culmination of his lifelong hard work. Who can bear to destroy it with his own hands?

Thinking about it this way, Nalan Youci indeed made a decision beyond ordinary people's imagination.

However, Li Yishan had anticipated Xu Huainan's attitude as early as when he retired and was idle.

Although he doesn't understand it as clearly as he did today, since he has arrived, he naturally has some confidence.

"I can understand how you feel."

Li Yishan first agreed, and then changed the topic, "But my visit this time is not just about the Central Plains and Beimang affairs."

"oh?"

Xu Huainan was surprised.

"For the sake of heaven and earth."





The process of convincing Xu Huainan was not too difficult.

Although he regarded Beimang and Nanchao as his own efforts, he was still deeply shocked when he heard about the struggle between heaven and earth from Li Yishankou.

This pattern of choosing to defeat the sky for the sake of human future immediately attracted him.

And most importantly, Li Yishan promised that he would try his best to protect the basic order of the Southern Dynasties.

"What we want is not a dilapidated grassland, but a rear area that can contribute enough strength to Fa Tian. After taking Beimang, we need to ask you to appease people's hearts."

This gave Xu Huainan a reassurance.

Next, in order to ensure that his hard work was as intact as possible, he directly increased his energy.

Question: How can we minimize the losses of both sides in a war conflict?

Very simple, crush the game.

Because the more evenly matched the battle, the more anxious it becomes, often draining the last breath and last drop of blood from both sides.

For example, take the defensive battle of Xiangfan back then.

Guard general Wang Mingyang directly chose to eat human flesh to satisfy his hunger, turning a prosperous city into a ghost town haunted by the ghosts of injustice.

So Xu Huainan made a lot of connections for this.

Don't think that after five years of idleness at home, he just left and became an ordinary bad old man.

Old is indeed old, but neither bad nor ordinary.

Don’t forget, he was once the most powerful official in Beimang for more than ten years!

In addition, he came here with the purpose of being a spy in the first place, to gather connections, build party members, and even seize political opponents and join the army...

As one of the most powerful counselors in the world, no one knows how much he has done secretly.

Even if part of it was destroyed by Li Mibi's spider web.

Even now the Taiping Order of Qi Jian Yue Mansion has replaced his former position in the empress's mind.

but!

When Xu Huainan's old machine started to rotate again, the power that burst out directly became the heaviest chip on the scale, forcing Beimang to the edge of the cliff in one breath.

Don't forget, when Beimang went south this time, most of the country's troops gathered in the Southern Dynasties.

This just gave Xu Huainan the opportunity to make great achievements in one fell swoop.

Or Orange Island.

The death of Ji Ji Ling caused chaos in the state from top to bottom, so this became a stage for Xu Huainan to perform as much as he wanted.

Just inside Beimang, the army under the current Beiyuan King Huang Songpu was actually ambushed by Chen Zhibao.

This geographical advantage is just as fake!

The troops in the South Campus suffered even worse because they encountered Gu Jiantang.

A top marshal who was once known as Liyang Shuangbi with Xu Xiao!

It is no exaggeration to say that after the death of Tuoba Bodhisattva, there was no one in the Beimang army who could confront him head-on without falling behind.

Coupled with Xu Huainan's intelligence support.

The result of the defeat on both fronts was the complete fall of Orange Island.

Gu Jiantang sent his troops all the way north, directly across Liuyi Mountain and attacked Dunhuang City.

This location is not far from the capital of the Southern Dynasties.

It is not an exaggeration to say that troops are approaching the city.

Beimang was directly stunned by this sudden attack.

For the first time, they realized that it turned out that Beimang was in the Southern Dynasty, and this south turned out to be Xu Huainan's south!

Royal Court, Beidi City.

"This is unreasonable! Xu Huainan! Xu! Huai! Nan!"

Empress Murong showed a rare appearance of losing her composure.

"Isn't I good enough to him? He is a Central Plains man. If he didn't have the support of my favor, how could he be the most popular minister in Beimang? What about him? Is this how he repays me?!"

Taiping Ling, Qilin Zhenren, Li Mibi and others said nothing.

Empress Murong is not an ordinary person. She lost control of her emotions this time, mainly because she was stabbed by her former confidant. The betrayer is always more hateful than the enemy. I just don’t know what her expression would be like if she learned that Xu Huainan came north to work as an undercover agent.

"What should we do now?"

After regaining her composure, she looked at Taiping Ling, "Sir, you are right. The Southern Dynasty is a major hidden danger to our Beimang. Unfortunately, it broke out before we could spare our hands to deal with it."

"The construction of the Southern Dynasties was largely due to the people who moved north, led by Xu Huainan."

Taiping Ling looked calm, "No, it should be said that every plant and tree there was designed and completed by them personally. It is really risky to continue to let the army stay there when Xu Huainan has confirmed that he has betrayed the enemy." Too big."

"Can the spider web kill him?"

Li Mibi looked embarrassed when his name was called, "It's difficult, the number of experts on our side is too small. I have already arranged an assassination, but we can't even get close."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.

Because when talking about this, they couldn't help but think of the great enemy who almost killed half of Beimang's top masters, Demon Lord Chi Yao!

He is now truly the number one in the world.

And let alone taking revenge, they were even worried that the lunatic would stop coming here to cause trouble.

It’s really frustrating!

"That……"

After a long silence, Taiping Ling spoke with difficulty, "We can only withdraw some of our troops and horses first, and then make plans..."

Before he could finish speaking, the National Preceptor Yuan Qingshan on the other side suddenly raised his head and said in an incomprehensible tone: "Perhaps we can also get some support."





Just as Huang Longshi expected, seeing the Central Plains army sweeping across Beimang, the immortals in the sky gradually became unable to sit still.

Because if the world is allowed to achieve true unification, then luck will become monolithic, and it will be very difficult for them to easily catch it.

Therefore, it is no surprise that they contacted Qilin Master Yuan Qingshan through the immortal ancestor of Daode Sect in the past and brought their wishes to him.

They are willing to support Beimang, and the specific method can be discussed.

After Beimang heard the news, they were shocked at first, then in disbelief. They wondered if it was a liar. After verifying the authenticity, they were overjoyed!

Although in the eyes of the top people in the world, ordinary immortals are just like pheasants, characters who can be killed casually.

But I can't help but they have such a high reputation among the people!

Even a supreme and noble person like Empress Murong would inevitably feel inferior when facing an immortal.

When they heard that the Immortal was going to help Beimang from behind, their morale was immediately boosted!

"Since the immortal has the whole story, we might as well give them a surprise."

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the empress's eyes, "We will fight in the capital of the Southern Dynasty. I want the heads of Xu Huainan, Gu Jiantang and Chen Zhibao!"
