Plan to cut off the nine states

Mrs. Lan refused to flee and said to her son Lou Ying: "Seventeen loves to bluff. He personally entered the city, which shows that there are not many bandits outside the city and they can't attack."

Lou Ying did not have the confidence of his mother. He quickly fled from Dongdu with his already packed property and his crying wives and concubines.

Mrs. Lan was only half right. Although there were not many bandits, the people of Dongdu had already lost confidence in defending the city. They fled in large numbers and abandoned the city.

When she heard that the King of Wu led his troops into the city, Mrs. Lan sighed slightly and managed the family as usual. She did not allow the servants to slack off. In fact, there were not many servants left. The huge mansion was often as quiet as an empty house.

When the King of the World sent people to the General's Mansion, he only wanted to requisition this house, but he did not expect that the owner was still there. The generals were quite respectful to the King of Wu. When they heard that the old lady was the King of Wu's mother, they were very polite.

Mrs. Lan chatted with him for a while and happily agreed to hold the wedding in the mansion, "The bride will be the daughter-in-law of my Lou family in the future."

Xue Liujia sent people to invite the kings again. This time everyone became free and healthy, and they all said they would come. Some even sent people to the general's mansion in advance to deliver another gift, taking the opportunity to check the situation to avoid falling into a trap.

Xue Liujia left Xu Chu in the hall, full of emotion, telling about the difficulties of starting a business and the deep love between husband and wife - Huang Tieniang stood by and listened, occasionally humming, but her face looked very happy - and even asked King Wu to touch the magic stick lightly.

"Countless people have been hit by it, but few have touched it with their hands. King Wu is my son-in-law. From now on, we are a family and can share the power. Do you feel it? When a mortal touches the magic stick for the first time, his fingers will feel a little numb. This is normal. This is the Maitreya Buddha checking your heart."

Even if ordinary people don't feel anything at first, they will feel a little numb when the king says a few words. Xu Chu nodded, "It's okay, I feel... it seems very kind."

"Haha, son-in-law has a pure heart, and the Buddha likes you too."

The bride Xue Jinyao walked in without any hesitation, and didn't look at her father and "husband". She went straight to her mother and said, "This dress is not suitable, I want to change."

Xue Jinyao wore a red dress, which made her look more gorgeous, but there was no joy on her face, as if she was forced to marry.

"What's not suitable? Isn't this good?" Huang Tieniang shouted.

"I feel irritated when I wear it."

"It's like this when you get married, it will be fine after a while."

"No, I want to change."

Huang Tie Niang had no choice but to say, "Okay, we don't lack clothes at home now, I'll take you to choose, wear whatever you like."

The mother and daughter left the hall, and Xue Liujia nodded and said, "If you want to have fun, of course you have to find a beauty, if you want to marry, you have to marry someone like this."

"Yes." Xu Chu responded.

"Although my wife is a bit fierce, she can protect the family, give birth to children, and save my life in times of crisis. Her emotions are all on her face. Although she is jealous, she is not to the point of kicking over the jar of vinegar."

"A good wife and a good mother."

"Yes, a good wife and a good mother. My daughter is the youngest and most like her mother. She will definitely be the good wife of King Wu in the future. Alas, Jin Yao has always stayed by my side, and I am really reluctant to marry her off suddenly."

"After the marriage, my new wife and I will not be too far away from the ancestral king."

"Why don't you change your words now?"

"My father-in-law."

"Haha." There was no one nearby, but Xue Liujia was still worried. He took his son-in-law a few steps and whispered: "Since we are a family, we should talk as a family. Are the kings going to The army was handed over to the King of Wu?"

"Some, not all."

"Hey, there is no strong enemy outside, no turmoil inside, the kings are joining forces to deal with me, right?"

"Father-in-law, you think too much. Although many people in Dongdu have fled, there are still hundreds of thousands of people left. If they are incited, it will be a disaster. The kings are joining forces to prepare for the worst."

"My son-in-law doesn't treat me as a family member. Then I'll tell you the truth first. I have conveyed a secret order to the Advent Army outside the city. If I don't leave the city within three days, they will attack Dongdu and besiege it from all sides. The families of the kings and their soldiers are in my hands. I have no choice but to let them take the lead."

"If the ancestor king does this, the soldiers under the kings will definitely not be able to take action and can only open the door to recruit soldiers." Xu Chu changed his address.

Xue Liujia smiled, "But I don't want to do this. It will not only destroy my friendship with the kings, but also split the army of the world, which is not what I want. So I will wait for three days. If the kings are willing to sincerely serve me as their leader, and we can fight and divide the world together, I will let bygones be bygones."

"Why didn't the ancestor king say these words directly to the kings?"

"They don't believe it. I admit that I said some excessive words at the wine table, which scared the king of Jin, but I am just like this, I speak without restraint, and I have no bad intentions. Ning Baoer and Gan Zhao can testify to this."

Xue Liujia took his son-in-law and walked a few steps forward, sighed softly, and looked at the guards in the distance, He said in a lower voice: "There is no one in the army of the advent."

"How can there be no one in the army of the advent?"

"There is no one available. My relatives are stupider than each other. They are not good at fighting, but good at stealing credit. They have no strategy at all, but they are very good at plotting against their own people. And my sons are either too young or too stupid. None of them can have a promising future. To be honest, I am really anxious now."

"There is a long time to come. When the prince grows up, there will always be outstanding ones."

"Outstanding is not enough. You have to be a dragon among men, like the King of Wu."

"King Zu really thinks too highly of me." Xu Chu smiled.

"Not high, not high." Xue Liujia handed over the magic stick and motioned his son-in-law to touch it again. "I am a disciple of Maitreya. After I succeed, I will go to heaven to reunite with my master. What I will leave in the world is nothing more than a body. Before I leave, I must entrust the world to a trustworthy person."

Xu Chu retracted his hand, "No matter which son of the ancestor king succeeds to the throne, I and the kings will assist him wholeheartedly."

Xue Liujia smiled and shook his head, "I said, none of those sons can do it. The King of Wu is the one I chose, so I gave my youngest daughter I want to marry you and become a family with you. Not only that, I will also accept you as my apprentice and teach you all the secret methods of Maitreya Buddha. "

"Ancestor..."

"You don't want to?"

"Why not? I just feel guilty for receiving the reward without any merit."

"You took the East Capital, and I saw clearly that Ning Baoer took the credit. At the wedding banquet tonight, I will pass the Emperor Killing Rod to you in public. From now on, we, the father-in-law and son-in-law, will jointly lead the army of the world!"

"Ancestor..." Xu Chu was a little excited.

"Why did you call me back again?"

"My father-in-law values ​​me so much, I don't know how to repay him."

"Treating my daughter well and taking care of my useless sons in the future is the greatest reward for me." Xue Liujia smiled, as if he had let go of a big thing in his heart.

Xu Chu had to say something, "I have to tell the truth, the kings did want to work together to deal with my father-in-law. They transferred their troops to Xicheng and put them under my command, but each of them had their own generals, who pretended to obey me but secretly disobeyed me. Although they had a large number of people, they were actually useless. So I took advantage of my mother-in-law's entry into the city and went into the palace alone to check on my father-in-law's true and false."

"Haha, this is more like a family. In fact, I don't want the advent army outside the city to attack the city. They are just a group of bandits. They will rob when they enter the city. Dongdu is our family's property, and I can't bear to let them harm it."

"Fighting is the worst strategy. I have a way to persuade the kings to leave Dongdu and let my father-in-law occupy the whole city alone..."

"I will occupy it with my son-in-law." Xue Liujia said with a smile.

"Yes, I assist my father-in-law. The King of Shu has long intended to go to Yizhou, so we can let him go first to break the alliance of the kings. The King of Liang has a weak army and has been uneasy since entering the city. He has been friends with me for many years. I will advise him to quickly establish himself in Huaizhou and not to make wedding clothes for others. The King of Ning and the King of Jin are ambitious, but they are wary of each other. If they are provoked, civil strife will surely occur. One will go to Jiangdong and the other will return to Bingzhou. The Eastern Capital will be worry-free now."

"I said I didn't make a mistake." Xue Liujia was overjoyed, "This plan must be implemented as soon as possible."

"Within three days."

"I am waiting for the good news of my son-in-law. Alas, I have been waiting for the good news of my son-in-law these two days. I am so annoyed. I have no chance to appreciate the size of the Eastern Capital and the beauty of the Imperial Palace. When my son-in-law drives away the kings, you will take charge of the Advent Army for a few days, so that your mother-in-law and I can have a rest. You must discipline the bandits outside the city. "

"Without the guidance of my father-in-law, I cannot shoulder such a heavy responsibility."

"You are my son-in-law, no one dares to bully you. If something really happens, I will use my Emperor Killing Stick to sweep it over. Who dares not to obey?"

The father-in-law and son-in-law talked happily. The guards in the hall really thought they had become a family. When the King of Wu came closer, they all smiled at him and were much more enthusiastic.

Xue Liujia introduced them one by one. They were all relatives, and even if they had not been in contact for decades, they could still beggarly seek to be related.

It was getting dark, and Xu Chu went to the General's Mansion to prepare for the wedding. Xue Liujia was still worried and sent a hundred guards to follow.

The first thing Xu Chu did was to pay a visit to Madam Lan.

Madam Lan stood at the gate of the backyard and greeted them personally. Xu Chu came up quickly and bowed, saying, "I am an unworthy son who disturbed Madam Lan. I am here to apologize."

Madam Lan smiled and said, "King Wu is overly concerned. Since he has changed his surname and recognized the Xu family, how can he be said to be unworthy?"

"It is not my intention to requisition your mansion."

"I understand." Madam Lan glanced at the soldiers running around in the distance, "On the day of King Wu's wedding, there will be a lot of red."

"Madam Lan looks sick and should rest. I won't bother you at the wedding tonight."

Madam Lan nodded, "Thank you for your concern, King Wu. I won't attend the wedding. I have prepared a small gift. Please accept it."

The maid beside him presented a brocade box, opened the lid, and revealed a golden phoenix hairpin inside, which was decorated with gems.

"This is a relic left by your mother. Giving it to King Wu can also be regarded as returning it to its original owner."

Xu Chu did not refuse. He took the brocade box and left.

Groups of relatives from the Xue family came up to pat King Wu on the shoulder, one by one, more enthusiastic than the other.

The kings' people arrived early, and the total number could not be less than that of the King of the World. The scene was a bit chaotic. Xu Chu held the brocade box and refused to hand it to others.

Guo Shifeng squeezed through the crowd and winked.

Xu Chu smiled and said, "Brother Guo should drink a few more glasses of wedding wine tonight."

"Of course." Guo Shifeng lowered his voice, "Everyone is a little confused..."

"Drink as much as you can and leave early. If you are confused, you will fall into the trap."

After Xu Chu said this, Guo Shifeng became more confused.

Xu Chu squeezed out of the crowd and came to Cao Shenxi, smiling and saying, "General Cao hasn't been here for a long time, right?"

Cao Shenxi was still sighing.

Xu Chu leaned close to Cao Shenxi's ear and whispered, "Tell the people in the wall to leave the city tomorrow to meet the soldiers of Yecheng."

Cao Shenxi held his breath and didn't sigh.
