『Shaoliang, Hexi?』

Li He looked at Old Hu in surprise, wondering why the old man turned aside and even accidentally broke the wine bowl in his hand.

"Father."

Hu Fei walked up to him with a look of concern.

"It's nothing, I just drank a little more..."

The old fox shook his head quietly, then turned his head and said to Li He, "Little brother, I have to leave for a while..."

Although he didn't know what was going on, Li He could see that the Hu Family Village was in great trouble, so he naturally didn't have any opinions. He hurriedly said, "You are so serious, so I'd better deal with the important matter first."

Old Hu nodded sadly and instructed Hu Fei, "Bohui, you are here to accompany your little brother, don't be rude."

"Yes, father." Hu Fei nodded.

Seeing this, Hu Laoqiang smiled and nodded at Li He, and then led his son-in-law Tian Yi to leave the banquet.

Watching the old Hu and his men leave, Li He vaguely heard Tian Yi's deliberately lowering voice: "My father has visited Le overnight and ordered his son-in-law to come and send a message...My father intends to invite several families to the father-in-law to discuss countermeasures together, advance and retreat together..."

"How many big families want to advance and retreat together? It seems that the "westerly migration" is a big deal..."

Li He murmured in his heart, and when he turned around, he saw Hu Fei sitting beside him with a sad face. He hurriedly said, "If something big happens in the village, you should put the village first. The young clan leader doesn't have to care about us."

Hu Fei forced a smile when he heard this and said with a smile: "My little brother has great kindness in my village. Even if something happens, how can he leave the benefactor?"

As he said that, he saw Li He about to speak, shook his head and said, "Besides, such a big thing is not something you can make up your mind in a short time... Come on, let's have a drink."

Seeing that Hu Fei had decided, Li He didn't want to say anything else, so he picked up the wine bowl and drank a bowl with Hu Fei.

Immediately, he asked curiously: "If the young master does not mind, I would like to ask the 'Hexi Shaoliang' mentioned earlier, where is it? Why did the old fox and the young master look...well, a little worried."

"Worried?"

Hu Fei smiled bitterly and sighed: "Little brother, maybe I don't know that Shaoliang, Shaoliang, is the Shaoliang Kingdom, is a small country in Xihe, and is a vassal of our Wei Kingdom..."

He briefly explained to Li He, and then Li He realized why the father and son were terrified of "Shaoliang".

The reason is very simple. Just four words can fully illustrate what a dangerous place Shaoliang is: facing the Western Qin!

Yes, Shaoliang Kingdom is located in Hexi, just between the two major powers of Wei and Qin. The wars of Wei and Qin in recent years have almost all revolved around the land in Hexi, which can be called a place of war.

After drinking another sip of wine, Hu Fei said melancholy: "Western Qin is ambitious and has always wanted to annex Hexi. Once Qin launches an attack, Shaoliang will be the first to be the brunt of it... Now Anyi decides to order the families to move westward, mostly to strengthen Shaoliang and guard against Qin's attack, but..."

『…The family that is just a 'moving westward' will become a sacrifice.』

Li He silently completed the words of Hu Fei in his heart.

To be fair, if we focus on Wei, there is actually no problem with this decision of Wei, but if it is a family that is about to be "sacrificed", it will definitely be unacceptable.

As an outsider, Li He didn't have much to say, so he could only drink with Hu Fei.

After the dinner party, Hu Fei ordered the villagers to clean up the venue, and he led Li He, Li Ying and Peng Chou to the big house, which is the ancestral house passed down by the Hu clan.

After several people entered the big house, they saw the old fox sitting alone in the hall, with a bowl of tea on the short table in front of them.

"Father."

Hu Fei walked up to him and bowed, asking, "Where is Bo Shiren?"

Old Hu took a breath and said calmly: "I told him to go back to the family overnight to make a message... By the way, Bo Hui, the clan leaders of my family may visit my Hu family tomorrow and discuss the matter of moving west together. You can arrange this matter and do not lose etiquette."

"Please rest assured, my father."

Hu Fei bowed and replied.

At this time, Old Hu also saw Li He and his men following Hu Fei, so he stood up with crutches, walked towards Li He and said with a smile: "It's getting late, little brothers, you have a good rest too... Bo Hui, please arrange a residence for the little brothers and the others."

"Yes, father."

Hu Fei bowed and replied.

The old fox nodded, then looked at Li He again, sighing, "I wanted to recruit my little brothers as my clan son-in-law, but my Hu family is suffering from a sudden disaster. The prospects are unpredictable. I don't want to drag down some of them. Tonight, the little brothers and the others will have a good rest. When tomorrow is dawn, I ask someone to prepare some dry food and get involved. Let's leave as soon as possible."

Although he knew that Mr. Hu had no malicious intentions or even good intentions, Li He felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

Suddenly, Li He caught a glimpse of Hu Fei's face changing slightly. He felt a little moved and thought of something: Could it be that Hu Lao has concluded that the "westerly moving west" can no longer be changed?

If you think about it carefully, Anyi is the capital of Wei State. Where can any of the local families resist?

Even if several families such as Hu family, Tian family and others want to unite to change this matter, it may be difficult to change the decision made by Anyi.

That night, in the house arranged by Hu Fei for him, Li He lay on the couch, thinking about what happened today.

Even though he was separated by a wall, he could still clearly hear Peng Chou's snoring coming from next door - the heartless guy was already asleep.

In contrast, Li He was not sleepy, not because of Peng Chou's snoring, but because of the problem of staying or leaving.

Soon, there was a tick knock on the door outside the door.

Li He turned over and opened the door, and then saw Li Ying standing outside the house with an oil lamp on his back.

Seeing this, Li He didn't say anything. Gu Zi walked to the table in the house and sat down. Li Ying closed the door after entering the door. The two had a tacit understanding.

Close the door and walked to the table. Li Ying sat down when Li He was facing each other, put the oil lamp in his hand on the table, and asked, "Ahe, what are your plans?"

"Ahe?" Li He looked at Li Ying with an expressionless face.

Li Ying laughed and said, "I thought we were all so familiar...why would I call you a hero again?"

Li He rolled his eyes, no longer caring about Li Ying's name to him, frowned and asked, "What do you think?"

Seeing Li He ask back, Li Ying's expression became a little serious. He lowered his voice and said, "I think we should leave as soon as possible, don't get involved in this muddy water... You also heard that Hu Fei said today. Xihe is the place where Wei and Qin fight. As far as I know, Wei and Qin have paid hundreds of thousands of casualties in their army to compete for the land of Xihe. Under what circumstances did Anyi decide to force some of their families to Xihe? It's very simple, all the people in Xihe are dead!"

“…”

Li He glanced at Li Ying, reached out to pick up the clay pot with water on the table, poured himself a bowl of water, and said lightly: "You have eaten a lot of people's wine and meat today. Now when you see someone suffering, do you want to run away?"

Although he didn't like Li Ying's tone, it is undeniable that Li He also tended to judge this: If the people from Xihe were not dead, why would Wei State forcibly move some Wei people at least Liang State, and also enhance Shao Liang's strength?

Li Ying was stunned and asked with a strange expression: "Ahe, are you planning to follow Shaoliang, right?"

“…”

Li He picked up the bowl and took a sip of water.

To be fair, he didn't have to go to the dangerous place in Shaoliang, but he had a good impression of the Hu clan and didn't want to leave them alone because the prospects of the Hu clan were unpredictable.

"Didn't you say you want to follow me? Are you scared?"

Li He glanced at Li Ying sideways.

"It's true that I follow you, but I didn't think about going to die."

"Do you think I'm going to Shaoliang to die?" Li He looked at Li Ying unhappily.

Unexpectedly, Li Ying replied angrily: "I'm talking about me!... Of course you and A Chou are not afraid. You two are monsters who can tear jackals with their hands. I am an ordinary person! What if I die in Shaoliang? I haven't passed on my family to my family yet!"

His self-deprecating self-deprecation made Li He speechless.

Well, compared with Li He who is "80" and Peng Chou who is "70" and Li Ying who is only "30" in force, he is indeed just an "ordinary person". He is not much better than an ordinary adult man. Even if he accidentally dies on the battlefield of the big country in Shaoliang, it is not a strange thing.

Just as Li He was silent, Li Ying suddenly changed his mind and said, "Actually, it's not impossible for us to follow Hu to Shaoliang..."

Li He looked at Li Ying in surprise and said, "Are you not afraid of death?"

"Of course I'm afraid!"

Li Ying replied angrily, and then expressed his thoughts: "Think about it carefully, since Wei ordered the people to move westward, it can be seen that Shaoliang's subordinate country has few people and cannot stop the Qin's offensive. But the problem is that even if we move a part of the population, Shaoliang can block the Qin army's offensive? If it still cannot be stopped in the end, Wei will definitely have to send reinforcements unless Wei gives up Shaoliang and give up the entire Xihe land... In other words, even if we go to Anyi to join the army, we may not be able to avoid the incident of Shaoliang."

"clever!"

Li He secretly praised and looked at this guy with admiration for only "30" force.

At this time, Li Ying lowered his voice and said, "Instead of being a member of the Wei army, he was sent to Xihe to support Shaoliang, it would be better to follow the Hu family and the Hu family to Shaoliang. The Hu family will definitely bear our love...... In the meantime, with your courage and A Chou and the support of the Hu family, we may not be able to make a fortune in Shaoliang."

Li He, who was about to praise Li Ying, suddenly lost interest when he heard these utilitarian remarks.

But it is undeniable that Li Ying's judgment is indeed the most beneficial to their current situation.

After a while, Li Ying was driven back to the next room, Li He lay on the couch with his hands on his pillow, thinking about his conversation with Li Ying just now.

"Shaoliang..."

While murmuring, Li He slowly closed his eyes.

In this era of many countries and constant wars, he also longed to make a career in his heart, and the shocking words "Would kings, princes, generals, and ministers" have already taken root in his heart.

Compared with the too strong Wei State, it is difficult for people who are strong to reach a high position in a short period of time. Shaoliang State is at the time of employment, which means that talented people can achieve high positions more easily in a very short period of time.

Thinking about it this way, going to Shaoliang may not be a bad thing.
