According to Meng Zhan's calculations before his death, Jiang Pengji should be subject to the Yi clan of Beiyuan and the Nie clan of Zhongzhao.
It's just that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. Nie Liang suffered a conspiracy, and he brought people back to Zhongzhao without achieving his goal. Beiyuan Yi's opponent got the wind and took the opportunity to seize power. In order to keep his power, Yi's had to temporarily put aside his covetousness for Cangzhou and concentrate on infighting.
The two biggest threats from the outside world have vanished, and most of the danger has disappeared.
It seems that the situation is good, but this does not mean that Jiang Pengji is safe.
Zhongzhao Bianzhou border—
Wei Xun rode a high-headed horse and followed near the carriage of the carriage. Apart from the footsteps of the guards, the sound of the collision of weapons, and the sound of the rolling wheels, there was only the sound of coughing intermittently from the other end of the carriage. Lungs and kidneys coughed out.
After a long while, the coughing movement finally subsided.
"Zi Shun, when can I enter Bianzhou?"
He opened the car curtain made of green bamboo, revealing the lower half of Nie Liang's cheeks.
Although it was discovered in time, Nie Liang's body was also injured.
Half a month ago, I had a swollen brain, fever and cough, and my mind became blurred. In the past few days, it has started to improve, but I still have a sick appearance.
If Wei Ci had not explained it carefully before he left, Wei Xin would have thought that someone had poisoned Nie Liang again.
"Looking at this journey, there is still an hour away from the nearest station in Bianzhou."
Nie Liang was blown by the wind, and the carriage was bumped twice, which irritated his throat and started coughing violently while leaning on the window frame.
Wei Wei said, "Guangshan don't talk for now, just meditate and rest. When we arrive in Bianzhou, there will be another tough battle to fight."
Nie gave Nie Liang the task to get him to Cangzhou, even if it was only Mengjun in Cangzhou.
As a result, Nie Liang returned empty-handed, and he was bound to be rebuked by the clan elders.
The forces within the Nie clan are complex, and each house is fighting against each other.
Nie Liang, as the most promising heir to the fifth house of the Nie family, his existence is the most important bargaining chip of the fifth house of the Nie family. Now that Nie Liang has returned home, the elders of the Nie clan will also have doubts about his ability - just thinking about that scene, Wei Xin can't help but feel distressed.
"We should stay longer in Cangzhou—"
No matter the size of the site, as long as you can fight for a piece of land, Nie's side can explain it.
Nie Liang insisted on coming back empty-handed, wouldn't he put himself to death
Thinking of Nie Liang's current situation, Wei Xian felt powerless.
"It's useless to stay for a long time." Nie Liang said weakly, "Huang Song and Liu Xi would rather maintain a false alliance than tear their faces. It can be seen that they are very clear in their hearts - they fight within each other, and the one who will benefit in the end is Nie. People are smart people, even if they can't help it, the people around them will break up various interests and tell them. The Meng family only sent messengers but did not send the army to Zhanjiang Pass, which is far from deterrent. They dragged Affordable, but Ryo's body can't hold back—"
The Zhongzhao Nie clan has a strong force, but the verbal threat of sending envoys and the threat of sending troops to be stationed on the border have different weights.
Sending messengers is just a verbal warning, while garrison threats are to put steel knives on people's necks and threaten them with their lives.
Huang Song and Jiang Pengji are dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water.
"Furthermore—Liu Xi would rather go to war than give up space, this mission is destined to be fruitless."
Compared to this, Nie Liang is more worried about Nie's—
Infighting in the family is doomed to not prosper for long.
This time, he was poisoned. Will he send a killer to assassinate other competitors next time
In a chaotic world, only by working together and twisting into a single rope can we gain a foothold.
If you don't deal with Nie's worms, I am afraid that Nie's death is not at the hands of the enemy, but by himself.
"In order to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside—" Nie Liang said, "If those worms are stubborn—"
His tone became cold, and his thin face was hidden in the shadows, giving people a sense of unprovoked coldness and horror.
Wei Wei sighed, "That said, but I missed this opportunity, and I'm afraid I'll regret it later."
Nie Liang asked, "What does this mean?"
Wei Xing said, "Zi Xiao has always been stubborn in temperament and has a deep opinion, and he has been different from ordinary people since he was a child. Xian has heard of his ambition - unification of the world and peace in the world. If he does not see this potential in Liu Xi, he will It's impossible to really go out to help each other."
Throughout Jiang Pengji's experience, there were constant trials and tribulations, but she was able to overcome all obstacles and never stopped.
Meng Zhan's troublesome layout led her into a situation where she was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
The results of it
Jiang Pengji sent someone to tell Beiyuan Yi's political opponents, so as to contain the Yi family.
Nie Liang was busy rushing back to Zhongzhao to deal with the internal affairs of the Nie family and could not give enough threats.
Without Nie's balancing weight, Huang Song was tricked by her to hand over Cangzhou Second County.
The original disadvantages were all overturned.
Although neither the Nie nor the Yi would easily let Cangzhou go, they would make a comeback after a while, but they also gave her a chance to breathe.
Wei Wei was certain that Jiang Pengji would definitely use this gap to gain more chips for himself.
"She is a formidable enemy—" Nie Liang said with a light smile, "but Liang will not regret it."
Condition Nie's death, he will regret the green intestines.
Within the territory of Hu County—
Xu Fei has had a hard time these years.
Back then, he was the grandson's most beloved grandson, and with this love, he was evenly matched with his eldest grandson Xu Pei.
Because of his grandfather's protection, Xu Fei had the upper hand most of the time.
However, all this has changed since the political chaos in Dongqing and the alliance of Huangshui.
First, when his grandfather passed away, Xu Fei lost his strong protection. The elders of the Xu clan tended to be the heirs and chiefs, which made Xu Fei very angry.
He liked to compete with his cousin since he was a child, and he couldn't bear to be lower than the other party.
Because of the dispute over the head of the family, the two brothers broke apart completely, and the internal forces of the Xu family were also divided into two waves.
At the beginning, the two brothers were evenly matched, and Xu Fei and Xu Pei joined hands to swallow the territory of Wumajing, the governor of Hu County.
However, this balance broke down after Jiang Pengji's northern expedition to northern Xinjiang, and Yang Si formed an alliance with Xu Pei on her behalf, and the balance gradually tilted.
Other people's days are more prosperous, but Xu Fei's days are more and more aggrieved.
As Xu Pei pressed closer, Xu Fei also lost most of the land, and gradually shrank in a small place.
Seeing that he couldn't hold on any longer, Xu Fei's mood became more violent every day, and he often vented his anger with the servants and maids beside him.
The gentry who originally depended on him gradually turned away, and his subordinates also persuaded him to surrender to Xu Pei, and be soft with him.
how can that be
"In addition to his age, where else can he be better than me? Grandpa loves me the most as the head of the house, what is he Xu Pei? Not only did he not act according to Grandpa's will, but he also wanted to kill me - let me surrender to him? Hmph - dreaming !"
If you don't want to surrender and don't want to die, you can only seek help from a third-party force.
Just as Xu Fei was frowning, the servant beside him gave him an idea and let him relax, "My lord, if you seek military support, it will not work if you are too weak; , only Maruzhou Mu Liuxi is the most suitable.”
Xu Fei's face was happy, and then it darkened.
