Zhang Yuan was startled, then walked to Xiao Ding and sat down, saying, "Manager, this sounds like Erlang's speaking style."

Xiao Ding laughed heartily: "Sir, you are smart. These words are indeed not something I can say. It is exactly what my second brother said."

"Erlang has sent someone to find him?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Xiao Ding nodded: "Yes, Monk Huiyuan, you have seen it too. At this time of year, it is probably possible for the monk to pass through the many defense lines and avoid the Imperial City's spies and the local and military scouts."

This is not to say how powerful Huiyuan is, but the people who worship Buddha among the people are Wuyang Wuyang. Huiyuan is a true monk who can save spies, and he has great convenience when walking in the world.

Huiyuan is not only a monk, but also a monk with a very advanced Buddhist practice. When Xiao Cheng opened up Hengshan, Huiyuan was very helpful. The Dangxiang people worship Buddhism and are more pious than the Song people. Until now.

, Huiyuan still enjoys a great reputation in Hengshan.

Zhang Yuan had also chatted with Huiyuan before, and the monk was indeed very talented and learned.

But besides being a monk, Huiyuan also has another identity. He is the spy chief of Erlang of the Xiao family.

Xiao Cheng could make such a person willingly do such a thing for him. Zhang Yuan didn't know the reason, but it made Zhang Yuan admire him.

You must know that with Huiyuan's Buddhist practice, no matter which temple he goes to, he is fully qualified to compete for the position of presiding over it.

Are the six roots of Huiyuan impure? Are you greedy for wealth and wealth in the world?

not really.

Such a great monk who has profound Buddhist practice and whose literary attainments are comparable to those of Jinshi is pursuing a world of great harmony. When Huiyuan and Zhang Yuan were chatting, their words were so cloudy that Zhang Yuan did not understand them very clearly.

But one thing that is very clear is that Xiao Cheng must have started from this point to impress the great monk and make him willingly become his minion.

For such a dark, bloody, and shady position as the spy chief, Xiao Erlang actually had the ability to let an enlightened monk take the position. Zhang Yuan was really impressed.

Zhang Yuan knew very well how much influence Xiao Cheng had on Xiao Ding. In fact, among the entire senior leadership of the Western Army, including himself, who was not influenced by Xiao Erlang?

Tuoba family, Renjia family, Xin Jian, Chen Qiao, Zhu Laoyao, Xifeng, Yeli and other families are all convinced of Xiao Cheng. Zhang Yuan has no doubt that if Xiao Cheng comes to the northwest now, Xiao Ding will definitely

Give up the position of the boss and let Xiao Cheng sit on it, and there will be no dissatisfaction from below.

"Erlang has become a trend in the southwest!" Xiao Ding proudly told Zhang Yuan about Xiao Cheng's current situation in the southwest. His words were full of pride. This second brother of his, no matter you put him

Throw it in that corner, and he can always create something out of nothing, turning a barren land into a vibrant place.

Zhang Yuan was also very excited when he heard this, and said excitedly: "General manager, if we have Erlang Xiang to help us this time, our victory will be more certain."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Ding was stunned.

Zhang Yuan was also a little confused. Didn't a man as far-sighted as Xiao Cheng make arrangements to contain the Song people and disperse their power so that Xiao Ding could have an easier time in the northwest?

Since Xiao Cheng has such a situation in the southwest, as long as he takes action, can the imperial court still focus on fighting the Western Army in the northwest?

When there is pus on the head and sores on the soles of the feet, Bianliang really has to worry about his head and not his buttocks.

Hearing what Zhang Yuanyi said, Xiao Ding shook his head repeatedly.

"The situation that the second brother is facing is completely different from us." Xiao Ding said: "If he does this, I am afraid that people will be separated, and the situation that was finally reunited will be destroyed. No matter it is Sizhoutian

Whether it was Bozhou Yang, or those big merchants and powerful people from all over the country, it was impossible for them to rebel against the Song Dynasty."

"It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not!" Zhang Yuandao said: "Erlang should know which is more important and which is less important! The situation here is very good now. He only needs to play a containment role and disperse the power of the Song Dynasty until you, the general manager, stand firm.

If we lose our heel and divide the world with Song and Liao, what does the situation in the southwest mean?"

Seeing Xiao Ding smiling and saying nothing, Zhang Yuan was a little annoyed: "General manager, now that we have a foundation for self-reliance, it is natural for you to proclaim yourself emperor now. As soon as Erlang moves in the southwest to contain the power of the Song army, we

Then we can win the war we are about to face. As long as we win this war, the foundation of our country will be stable. Even if the southwest is completely wiped out by the Song Dynasty, Erlang will come to the northwest, and he will be rich and powerful.

What do you want? Erlang Tian allows his talents. As long as he comes to the northwest, Mr. Zhang is willing to help him. At that time, the manager and brother Erlang are of the same mind. You are brave and brave, and his plans are unparalleled. Even if he lives in the northwest for a while, he can still do it.

With a wolf looking at the Liao Kingdom from the north and an eagle looking at the Song Dynasty from the south, it is not impossible to unify the world."

Having said this, Zhang Yuan stood up and walked up and down the mountains and rivers at his feet, pointing with his hands one by one and speaking passionately: "General manager, look at this great river and mountains. As long as it is managed properly, within ten years of gathering, you can be with us."

The Liao and Song Dynasties will compete for the world. At that time, the world's common ruler will be able to be the general manager. Can a person with Erlang's vision not see this?"

Xiao Ding also stood up, walked to Zhang Yuan's side, and looked down at the country at his feet with him, saying: "Sir, do you want me to be the emperor too?"

"It's not just me, Tuoba Yangwei, Ren Duozhong, Xin Jian, Leide Jin, Zheng Jihong, Li Yi, etc., who doesn't think so?" Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and said: "General manager, everyone is following you.

Until today, who hasn’t had an idea? Everyone wants to be granted the title of Prime Minister, to leave a name in history, and to be famous throughout the ages! I didn’t dare to think about it before because we didn’t have the conditions. Now everyone has this idea, and they don’t

It’s weird!”

"Isn't it strange?" Xiao Ding nodded: "Of course it's easy for me to become an emperor now, and no one can stop me, but what about the future?"

"In the future?" Zhang Yuan said strangely: "Of course, he will recharge his batteries, strengthen his troops, and strive to unify the world and become the common master of the world!"

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, the emperor will take turns to sit in my house next year!" Xiao Ding chuckled: "Sir, in this case, how different are I from the emperor of the Song Dynasty and the emperor of the Liao Dynasty? It's just a change of soup.

Just changing the medicine, what good will it do in this world?"

Listening to Xiao Ding's words, Zhang Yuan was stunned and speechless for a moment. His dream all along was to assist one person to achieve the hegemony of King Tu, and then leave his name in history as a wise minister. But now, everything

They are all right in front of him, he can see and grasp them, but the people he values ​​​​and want to help are actually not interested in it at all.

"General Manager?" he shouted, "In this world, you must have something to ask for. With the current situation, is the General Manager satisfied? If this is what the General Manager has in mind, I'm afraid he will be defeated.

Right? The Song Dynasty didn’t talk about him anymore. They only talked about Yelu Jun of the Liao Kingdom. He had such a big heart for the world. Once he came to power and became the emperor, and you still think like this, how can we be his opponents?

Clean your neck and wait for him to slaughter it?”

"Not being the emperor doesn't mean that I can do nothing!" Xiao Ding patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Why don't you go see Monk Huiyuan? He may be able to explain it more clearly than me. Sir, I think the second brother

What you said makes perfect sense. If this world cannot be completely cleaned up and major changes are not made, what's the point of the endless cycle continuing over and over again?"

Seeing Xiao Ding walking back with a flick of his sleeves, Zhang Yuan stamped his feet and shouted: "General Manager!"

Xiao Ding waved his hand without looking back: "Go and have a chat with Monk Huiyuan. He will answer your questions. I have to go home. Someone from my wife's family came over today. I have to go and see her. Otherwise, my wife

I’m sure I won’t be happy.”

Zhang Yuan sat down in the river trap, and the water from the Yellow River splashed out next to his buttocks and wet his pants, but he didn't care. He knew Xiao Ding's temper. Once he made up his mind, he would be like ten cows.

It can't be pulled back.

Xiao Erlang, Xiao Erlang, what kind of ecstasy did you ask Huiyuan to pour into the manager?

Huiyuan!

Zhang Yuanyi straightened his waist and stood up, striding out.

To untie the bell, you still need the person who tied it. As long as you can convince the monk Huiyuan, there is still room for redemption. By the way, Tuoba Yangwei happens to be in Xingqing Mansion, so take him with you.

When it comes to verbal fights, Zhang Yuan is not afraid of that monk Huiyuan. If Tuoba shows his power and supports him, he will definitely defeat the monk Huiyuan.

He ran out of the main hall door with water stains all over his body. The guards guarding the door were dumbfounded. What happened to our Chief? His crotch was dripping wet.

As soon as Xiao Ding walked into the backyard, his son Xiao Jing rushed out of the house.

"Father, Dad, uncles are here, several uncles!" Xiao Jing shouted.

Xiao Ding grabbed Xiao Jing and threw him around. Xiao Jing jumped into the air, opened his arms, and held his son in his arms.

Gao Qi walked to the door, looked at Xiao Jing, frowned and said: "Jing'er, come down, didn't Mr. teach you etiquette? You forgot all about it in the blink of an eye, how can you be polite?"

When his mother yelled, Xiao Jing immediately felt bitter and wanted to struggle down, but Xiao Ding hugged him tighter and he couldn't move.

"Don't listen to your mother. There are so many etiquettes between father and son. We are relatives, relatives. Just the word "parent" is the best!" Xiao Ding smiled and stepped into the threshold.

Gao Qi said angrily: "Sir, the results of countless days of hard teaching have been restored to their original shape by just a few words. If you know this, I'm afraid you will be so angry that you will vomit blood!"

Xiao Ding laughed and turned his eyes to look at the group of people standing in a somewhat restrained manner in the room. Then he put Xiao Jing on the ground and looked at the three familiar faces in the front.

"Huaiyong, Huaiyi, Huaide!" He pointed at the three of them, hesitating a little. In fact, he was not very familiar with these three people in the past, he had only met them a few times, and he had been at the border.

As Zhang Yuan said earlier, the Gao family sent some of their commoner sons to find a way out on their own side.

He raised the flag to rebel. Baoguo Gong Gao Yu was not much implicated, but his father-in-law was a bit miserable. Not only was he stripped of his official robe, he was also deprived of his writing skills since birth, and he completely became a commoner. And this was not the case.

Not only that, Bao Guo Gong Gao Yu even expelled his younger brother from the Gao family. Gao Qi's lineage was completely finished in the Song Dynasty.

However, what was ruined was only the political future of Gao Qi's father and brother, and there was no major financial loss. After all, Gao Qi was a married daughter.

The virtue of a big family not to put all their eggs in one basket is also vividly demonstrated at this moment.

Gao Qi's elder brothers and younger brothers could not come to the northwest because the Song Kingdom would not allow them to come, but the Gao family commoners in Yuanzhi did not have such scruples.

Gao Huaiyong, Gao Huaiyi, and Gao Huaide were all descendants of the Gao family. Didn't they just flee with their families?

"I've seen the manager!" The three of them clasped their fists and bowed with some restraint.

I saw this man in the Gao family before, and he was just a commander-level general. Only a few years later, he suddenly became the dominant overlord. Judging from the rumors from the outside, I am afraid that this man is even more powerful.

It is to be called a loner.

Even if they were relatives, their hearts would still tremble when they saw Xiao Ding at this moment.

This relative had defeated the Song army not long ago, beheaded Li Dan, Li Du and other border generals, and even defeated Yelvhuan, the governor of Xijing Road in the Liao Kingdom, for thousands of miles. None of these people is famous in the world

character.

"Where can we get so many etiquettes from a family?" Looking at the three men and women kneeling on one floor, and several children, Xiao Ding waved his hands and said, "Sit down, everyone!"

Sitting down in order, under Gao Qi's introduction, Xiao Ding finally figured out the ins and outs of the people in front of him. Speaking of which, the three of them were Gao Qi's distant cousins.

"Because of me, my brothers can no longer stay in their hometowns, and their career prospects are even more hopeless. They can only stay away from home and come to the northwest to find a way out. Dalang, you see..." Gao Qi looked at these few apologetically.

Cousins.

Xiao Ding is the biggest rebel leader in the Song Dynasty today, isn't he the rebel leader's mother-in-law?

"I remember that Huaiyi and Huaide were both successful candidates!" Xiao Ding was a little confused.

"The winners are Huaiyi and Huaiyong!" Gao Qi said with some anger: "Huaide is just like you. He has been good at dancing with guns and sticks since he was a child. He is quite brave."

"I remembered it wrong, I remembered it wrong!" Xiao Ding laughed: "Now our Western Army has jurisdiction over thousands of miles and millions of people. We just lack knowledgeable and experienced officials. Three cousins ​​are thousands of miles away.

Come to help me, Xiao Ding is grateful, but I wonder what the cousins ​​have in mind? Even if you say it, both civil and military arrangements can be made, and the custody will not disappoint the cousins."
