Xiao Xian's camp is located in the southwest corner of Chilonggang, about twenty miles from the Wei army camp, while Du Fuwei's camp is in the northwest corner and twenty miles from the Wei camp. Xiao Du's two armies are supporting each other and echo each other. It is already very late at night. At the first update, Xiao Xian couldn't fall asleep. He put on a helmet and armor, held a horse and rode a horse to inspect the camp.

Xiao Xian was also nervous. His nervousness was not because of the arrival of a war, but because he was worried about his own destiny. The moment that determined his destiny was getting closer and closer.

He is different from Du Fuwei. Du Fuwei is just the leader of the bandits who ruled Jiangnan. He neither became king nor emperor. He could have a good ending, but what about himself?

Xiao Xian called the emperor and rebuilt the Liang Dynasty. Since ancient times, those who claim to be emperors have been taboos for superiors. Can he get a good end? Although Yang Yuanqing gave him a promise, can he believe Yang Yuanqing's promise? In one or two years, he died of a sudden illness. At that time, who would care about his life and death?

Xiao Xian had many conflicts in his heart and was difficult to make a decision. At this time, a personal soldier rushed over and knelt down on one knee to report: "Report to Duke Xiao, Li Mi's Special Envoy asked for a meeting outside the camp!"

The envoy Limi actually came at this critical moment, which made Xiao Xian understand something. He pondered for a moment and said, "Take him to my camp."

It can be said that the messenger Li Mi arrived at this time and just hit Xiao Xian’s weakest side. He was supposed to kill the envoy and established his authority. He sent a god and ghost to order people to take the envoy to his tent.

In the big tent, Zu Junyan lowered his head and thought about persuasion. His eloquence was not very good, but his insight was quite keen. When he entered the camp, he found that the Xiao Liang army was not ready for an attack, and the soldiers were not as nervous as before the war.

As the saying goes, a leaf can tell Qiu. From this point, he felt Xiao Xian’s hesitation and contradiction in his heart. Xiao Xian was not very willing to cooperate with the Sui army. At least he still had an idea of ​​preserving his strength. It was precisely this. Another glimmer of hope arose in Zu Junyan’s heart.

The sound of war horses galloping outside the tent came, followed by a long neighing sound of war horses. Someone asked quietly: "Is the messenger here?"

"I reported to Duke Liang, the envoy was in the big tent."

Zu Junyan raised his ears. From the pace of the horse running, Xiao Xian's anxiety could be inferred. He changed his name to Liang Gong and removed the emperor's title, which also shows that he was very clear about the consequences of being emperor. Zu Junyan used his keen judgment to infer Xiao Xian's mood at this time.

The curtain was lifted. A cold wind blew, and the spring in February was still a bit cool with a hint of late winter. Xiao Xian walked in silently, and his sharp eyes fell on Zu Junyan's thin body, Zu Junyan quickly stood up and bowed deeply, "See Your Majesty the Emperor of Liang!"

"There is no Emperor of Liang Dynasty."

Xiao Xian frowned, and the name "Emperor" made him feel particularly harsh. He raised his voice with some displeasure, "Just call me Liang Gong."

He looked at Zu Junyan again, as if he didn't believe that the thin and thin guy in front of him was the famous Zu Junyan. He asked again, "Are you Zu Junyan?"

"Report to Duke Liang, it is Zu Junyan, and the Minister of Wei is the military officer."

"Please sit down!"

Xiao Xian asked Zu Junyan to sit down, and ordered the soldiers to serve tea. Then he asked lightly: "It's so late, is there anything wrong with Zu joining the army to find me?"

Zu Junyan hurriedly bowed and said, "I came for the cooperation between the Wei and Liang armies."

‘The cooperation between the Wei and Liang armies’, Xiao Xian couldn’t help but sneer. “Zu Zongjun is telling a joke!”

Zu Junyan shook his head, "I'm not telling a joke. The day when the Wei army was destroyed is also the time when the Liang army was destroyed. The fate of our two armies is the same. Why can't we share weal and woe? To overcome difficulties together, Liang Gong should understand what I mean."

"Hmph! This is different. You were destroyed by the Sui army, and I am willing to surrender to the Sui army. You cannot equate the two."

"But... Will Yang Yuanqing spare Mr. Liang's own destiny be with him?"

Zu Junyan's words poked Xiao Xian's pain like a knife. He stood up and said angrily: "Come on, drive me out!"

Several burly soldiers rushed up, raised Zu Junyan's thin body and walked out. Zu Junyan shouted anxiously: "When a person is about to die, his words are good. Why didn't Liang Gong listen to my advice?"

Xiao Xian looked at the big tent with his hands behind his back and motionless. When Zu Junyan was about to be dragged out of the big tent, he said coldly: "Let him go!"

Xiao Xian felt extremely tired. Even Li Mi could not escape Yang Yuanqing's hand, so he sent Zu Junyan to convince him. Could it be that he could not escape this disaster?

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Zu Junyan stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Please listen to my words."

"Tell me! I'll listen."

Zu Junyan was excited and hurriedly said, "The Lord Wei asked me to tell Duke Liang that as long as we cooperate, the two families will be jointly governed in the south, the Liang Dynasty west of Lujiang County and the Wei Dynasty east, and the two families will work together to fight against the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In addition, in order to show sincerity, the Lord Wei is willing to share half of the treasures of the Jiangdu Palace to Duke Liang."

"Red mouth and white teeth, how can I believe you?" Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes.

Zu Junyan took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands, "This is my master Wei's handwritten letter, please visit Mr. Liang."

Xiao Xian opened the letter and read it. It was indeed Li Mi's handwritten letter, which was consistent with what Zu Junyan said, but after the letter, he swore to the sky, and the promise was not false at all.

Zu Junyan observed his expression and saw that Xiao Xian was a little moved, and continued to encourage him: "The Liang army does not need to deal with the Sui army. As long as the Liang army suppresses Du Fuwei's army, the Sui army will be dealt with and wipe out Yang Yuanqing. The Sui Dynasty is shaken, and it will surely usher in a long confrontation. Liang Gong, this is an opportunity!"

Xiao Xian pondered for a long time, "Let me consider this matter! Zu Zhanjun asked him to go back. I will respond before dawn."

Zu Junyan knew that it would be useless to say more, so he bowed deeply, "I wish to listen to the good news from Mr. Liang."

Zu Junyan was sent out by his personal soldiers, and Xiao Xian fell into deep thought. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Go and invite Changshi Cen!"

.........

Outside the camp, more than 20 followers of Zu Junyan were waiting uneasy. At this time, the camp gate opened. Zu Junyan quickly walked out. He turned around and bowed, "Please tell Mr. Liang, thank you for your kind gift."

The followers came up and said, "Is it okay for Zu to join the army?"

Zu Junyan waved his hand and said, "Go back to the military camp!"

Everyone turned over the horses and rode their horses toward the depths of the darkness in the east. They walked away from a group of cavalrymen, and several people came out of the woods two hundred steps away from the barracks. The leader was Wei Yunqi. He looked at Zu Junyan's back and turned around and asked, "Did you see clearly? Who is this person?"

Bing Yuanzhen sneered: "This person is Li Mi's clerk Zu Junyan, the second counselor of Li Mi."

"It turned out to be him, it was not as expected."

"Sima, let Bei Yi chase them." Xiao Yannian, the scout behind them, said.

Wei Yunqi shook his head, "The fish on the chopping board, don't pay attention to it for the time being. Let's go see Xiao Xian first."

Everyone left the woods and ran towards the camp. A patrol soldier shouted, "Stop!"

Wei Yunqi stepped forward and bowed, "Please tell Duke Liang, Minister of the Honglu Temple of the Great Sui Dynasty, and Sima Wei Yunqi, the marching army of the Great Sui Dynasty, and asked for a visit!"

When the sentry rushed away, the gate of the camp opened wide and Cen Wenben came out. He was taking the food test in Houying today. He didn't know about Zu Junyan's arrival. When Xiao Xian sent someone to come to him, he realized that the situation had changed. Cen Wenben had already seen that Xiao Xian had the intention of remorse and helping Wei. He was extremely nervous. Wei Yunqi's arrival was just a timely rain.

"Wei Sima, I have heard of the name of Daqi for a long time."

Cen Wenben stepped forward and gave a deep bow, "In Xia Cen Wenben, he is the chief historian under the Duke Xiao."

"Look for a long time! Long for a long time!"

Wei Yunqi heard Yang Yuanqing say that Cen Wenben was a personal follower. It was he who tried his best to promote Xiao Xian's troops to send troops this time. Cen Wenben's outing gave him confidence again.

Cen Wenben stepped forward and whispered: "Junyan, the military officer of Li Mi's memory room, just now."

Wei Yunqi nodded, "I have seen him, what is Liang Gong's attitude?"

"He doesn't know what to do now? He seems to have been told."

Cen Wenben sighed, "He believes that Yang Yuanqing will not spare him easily, and will kill him sooner or later."

Wei Yunqi also knew that this was a key issue. Yang Yuanqing had always been ambiguous on this issue and refused to make a clear promise. But then again, even if it was a promise, would Xiao Xian believe it?

The two walked into the camp, and Bing Yuanzhen followed behind. Soon, everyone came to the central army's tent, and Xiao Xian was already waiting in front of the tent.

The arrival of the Sui envoy made him a little nervous, as if he had done something bad and was seen through. When he saw Wei Yunqi coming from afar, he laughed dryly, "I am not as good as the one who has been waiting for Wei Sima, please forgive me!"

Wei Yunqi also stepped forward and smiled, "I dare not! I dare not! I heard about Liang Gong's name for a long time, and I have long wanted to meet you. Today I got what I wish, and I am very happy."

"Wei Sima has been awarded for more, please discuss it in detail in the big tent."

"please!"

Everyone walked into the big tent and took the seat. Under the light, Xiao Xian saw clearly Bing Yuanzhen. Bing Yuanzhen had been on missions to Xiao Liang twice, and they were very familiar with each other. Xiao Xian was stunned for a moment, "You are not Bing..."

Bing Yuanzhen bowed slightly and said, "Yuan Zhen has been cast into the wise ruler and is now an aide to the King of Chu."

Xiao Xian took a breath of air conditioning, and even Bing Yuanzhen surrendered to Yang Yuanqing. Li Mi said that it was reliable to defeat Yang Yuanqing? For a moment, Xiao Xian was suddenly panicked and he didn't know what to do.

Wei Yunqi smiled and said, "I have two things here. One is to discuss the time when both sides send troops to attack Wei, and the second is to say that the King of Chu married Ling Yan. The King of Chu has already made a clear reply."

After all, Xiao Xian is a hero of a generation. After a little panic, he immediately calmed down his emotions. He asked without saying a word: "What do you say to Your Highness, King of Chu?"

"The King of Chu is willing to marry Baoyue as his concubine, and at the same time promises that after he becomes throne in the future, he will enthrone her as Shufei."

Speaking of this, Wei Yunqi took out a pair of jade bracelets, placed them on the table, and pushed them to Xiao Xian, "This is the token of marriage for His Highness the King of Chu."

Xiao Xian picked up the pair of extremely familiar bracelets, and he looked carefully, and couldn't help but be stunned.
