Chapter 247: An Opportunity
"Defending the country?"
King Zhao squinted his eyes, lowered his head, and muttered for a moment before he looked at Wei Wuji on the side, Wei Wuji smiled at Long Yangjun and said, "Long time no see, are you okay?" Seeing Xinlingjun, Long Yangjun's eyes became more gentle, as if he was looking at his brother, he smiled very brightly, which made people obsessed, and he said: "I'm okay, Shangjun misses you very much, and you haven't gone back to visit him." ”
Talking about King Wei, Xin Lingjun's face became a little unkind, and he said in a dull voice: "If he still misses me, he shouldn't let Mao Sui lead the troops away alone, otherwise, I won't be so easily defeated by Bai Qi...", Long Yangjun shook his head and said seriously: "He really misses you very much, at night, he often wakes up, saying that he dreamed that you were being bullied, he just couldn't put his face away and sent someone to invite you." ”
King Zhao hurriedly cleared his throat, and if he continued to talk like this, his national minister would run away, and he hurriedly said to Long Yangjun: "Wei Guo and Zhao have always been close, how could they send troops to attack Zhao for no reason?" This must be a rumor. King Zhao opened his mouth like this, Lian Po also nodded, and said: "There is indeed no such thing, Wei Guo and Zhao Guo are as close as biological brothers, and they will not fight." ”
Wei Wuji's face became even more ugly.
Long Yangjun also gradually became serious, and he said with a smile: "If Zhao State and Wei Guo are really as close as you say, then why did General Lejian of Zhao State raise troops to resist the army of Wei Guo Qicheng?" Long Yangjun shook his head and said: "This shows that Wei Guo really wants to crusade against Zhao State, and Wei State, as an ally of Zhao State, how can Wei State not help Zhao State?" ”
King Zhao did not say anything more, attacking Wei Wuji was Wei Wuji's proposal, Wei Wuji believed that if he wanted to make Zhao strong, it was necessary to expand, and he proposed to attack Wei Guo first, threatening the supply road danger of Qin and the Central Plains, and then unite Qi to carve up the strategic deployment of Yan. Therefore, King Zhao sent Lejian to attack Weiguo, but this matter was somehow known to the Wei people.
If it is said that Wei Guo and Wei State, it is related, today's Wei Jun is supported by Wei State, he supported it, when Wei abolished Wei Guo's Ji surname Wei Jun, and changed Zi Nan to Wei Jun, since then, Wei Guo has been in close contact with Wei State, and the relationship is very close. King Zhao didn't speak, and Lian Po continued: "General Lejian is chasing thieves and accidentally entered the territory of the country, and this matter has nothing to do with you. ”
Long Yangjun didn't get angry, he just said with a smile: "That's the case, Wei is also very willing to help Wei Guo to eliminate the thieves, the two families sent troops at the same time to divide Wei Guo into two and protect each other, what do you think?" Lian Po stroked his beard, ignoring Long Yangjun's request, he just said indifferently: "Then you are a little late, those thieves have been eliminated, and General Lejian will soon be able to pacify the thieves in all parts of the country." ”
"After the Zhao State built the channel, the food was sufficient, the people were rich, I was willing to personally lead the troops to Wei Guo, to protect there, if the Wei State wants to send soldiers and horses, but you have to be careful of those thieves who were expelled by me, they may attack the Wei army, and Wei has no generals who can lead the troops, I'm afraid it is not appropriate." Because Wei is an ally of Zhao, I just told you these words for the safety of Wei, please understand. ”
Long Yangjun was a little angry in his heart, this Zhao people ate meat, and they didn't even want to share the soup with their allies, and they dared to intimidate themselves like this.
He looked at King Zhao, but King Zhao didn't speak, looking like Lian Po had the final say in state affairs, Long Yangjun looked at Wei Wuji again, and then said: "Those Wei generals who came to crusade against thieves are all Pingyuan Jun's disciples, they are all Zhao people, Wei has no generals, so they can only use Zhao people, and most of the soldiers under their command are recruited from Xinling, and the people there have the brave style of Xinling Jun." ”
"I don't think it's too difficult for them to pacify some thieves."
"I heard that Weiguo is a benevolent and righteous country, and when the Son of Heaven suffered from the troubles of the Di people, it was Weiguo who stepped forward and helped the Son of Heaven. Such a country, now suffering from the trouble of thieves, all countries should help him, Zhao pacified the thieves' behavior is very good, but after pacifying, but rely on the defense of the country and do not leave, this is to be laughed at by the people of the world, when Qin attacked Zhao, Wei sent people to rescue, and never stayed in the city of Zhao. ”
"If Zhao Guo opened such an example, I am afraid that in the future, Qin State will attack Zhao State again, and all countries will come to help, and Zhao State will be treated like Zhao State treated Wei Guo today, Shangjun, you are a wise king, and Zhao State has gathered Ma Fujun, Xunzi is such a benevolent and righteous gentleman, please think more and don't make a rash decision." , Long Yangjun said with some heartache.
King Zhao immediately hesitated, he looked at Lian Po, waiting for Lian Po to give an explanation.
Lian Po was about to speak, when suddenly, a warrior walked in and announced: "A warrior from the Yan Kingdom has arrived, saying that the envoy of the Yan Kingdom has encountered a situation on the way and needs to report to the king." King Zhao was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked him to invite Yan Ren in, Long Yangjun didn't say much, just sat quietly on the side, as if thinking about something, just a moment later, a warrior from Yan Country walked in.
They bowed down to King Zhao for a long time, and then said in a lame manner, "Meet King Zhao." King Zhao motioned for them to get up, and they continued: "We met Pingyang Jun on the way and encountered a gangster assassination, we have rescued him, and we are taking him and driving towards Handan. King Zhao's eyes widened, he looked at the Yan State warrior in front of him, and asked in surprise: "Pingyang Jun was assassinated??" ”
"Yes, but please don't worry, he's fine, he's been rescued by us, and the gangster has also been killed, and the one who wants to kill him is likely to be the Qin people. In addition, Pingyang-kun said that the warrior you sent was a spy of the Qin State, please catch him. After the warrior finished speaking, he waited for King Zhao's order, King Zhao frowned, the warrior he sent? He didn't return to Handan at all.
When King Zhao was thinking about this matter with a gloomy face, Lian Po asked with some surprise, "When did you send someone to pick up Pingyang Jun?" King Zhao was even more troubled in his heart, he just coughed, and said: "He heard about Chang'anjun and wanted to return to Handan, but the widow sent a warrior to comfort him, but he didn't expect that this warrior was actually a spy of the Qin State, he must have bewitched Pingyangjun and wanted to trick him out and kill him." ”
Lian Po nodded, and didn't think about it again, but Wei Wuji frowned, how could Pingyang Jun learn about Chang'anjun so quickly? ? King Zhao must have sent someone to inform Pingyang Jun, so what did he want to inform, was it the news of his death, or the news that he had arrived, and why did the Qin people assassinate him? Wei Wuji quickly thought about all this, and then said to Long Yangjun with a smile: "Something happened in Zhao Country, please wait a few days and discuss it later." ”
"Yes, the widow is going to hold a banquet to entertain you, please rest well!"
In this way, Long Yangjun was invited out of the palace, and after walking out of the palace, Long Yangjun's face gradually became indifferent, and Zhao Ren seemed to be determined to swallow the country? Of course, Wei Guo can't watch Zhao State fall like this, he must come up with a way to stop Zhao State's military action, well, Pingyang Jun, Chang'an Jun, Assassin, Ma Fujun, Long Yang Jun muttered carefully, maybe, this can be used by Wei Guo?
When the envoy of Yan and Pingyangjun rushed to Handan, Pingyangjun urgently asked about Chang'anjun's situation, and Zhao Bu, who guarded the city gate, did not dare to lie at all in the face of his father's questioning, he said seriously: "Chang'anjun rushed to Mafu, committed murder on horseback, and killed Ma Fujun's friend, Mafujun was furious and killed him on the spot. Hearing his son's words, Zhao Bao suddenly fainted, and everyone hurriedly helped him and hurriedly sent him to Zhao Bu's courtyard.
And Jiang Qu saw King Zhao.
King Zhao is also very fond of this Jiangqu, grabbed his hand, and was unwilling to let go at all, Jiangqu was a very short person, and his appearance was also very bad, back then, it was because of his ugly appearance, he was not taken seriously, and he was ridiculed and was forced to leave Zhao. After rushing to Yan Kingdom, Li Belly saw his talent, so he recommended him, and King Yan didn't like his appearance, so he asked him to serve as the county magistrate of Yuyang, and as a result, he spent four years to govern Yuyang very rich.
Later, he served as the county guard, as the secretary, as the imperial history, and even as a general, he did a very good job, and now, he has finally become the minister of Yan, King Zhao will not love him because of his appearance, on the contrary, he is very fond of this almost all-powerful minister, King Zhao saw him, more excited than seeing Long Yangjun, holding his hand and unwilling to let go.
Seeing King Zhao's fiery eyes, Jiang Qu was also smiling, he was a very gentle little old man, sitting next to King Zhao, he talked about the hardships he encountered when he came to Zhao Kingdom, complaining about the weather, roads, etc., King Zhao couldn't help laughing, Jiang Qu was still more humorous, he suddenly said: "You don't know, after I camped and rested, I suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing, and hurriedly sent someone to check." ”
"I learned that Pingyang-jun was attacked, and hurriedly rescued, if I didn't find out, I'm afraid that I would be charged with the great crime of killing Pingyang-jun... I'm a person, it's unfortunate, it's not smooth to do anything, this time I came to Zhao Kingdom, I was reluctant to come, but Yan Kingdom is not like Zhao Kingdom, there are no talented sages, so I can only come to see you. ”
King Zhao nodded, and thanked him again for saving Pingyuan Jun.
Jiang Qu said solemnly: "Please don't say that, Yan and Zhao should have lived in harmony, think at the beginning, Yan was attacked by the Di people, or Zhao sent troops to help, Yan was deceived by Qin before, and there were some misunderstandings with Zhao, I came this time, I am here to apologize to you on behalf of King Yan, I hope to avoid the previous things, get along amicably, both sides send merchants to trade, no longer set up an army to guard against each other, isn't this a good thing for both countries?" ”
King Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "You are right, it is indeed so. ”
The two chatted amicably, and suddenly, Jiang Qu seemed to think of something, he suddenly came over and said to King Zhao seriously: "There is one more thing, I want to ask you to tell Ma Fujun.... I am not familiar with Ma Fujun, but Yan Guo is very grateful for the technology he sent, because of him, Yan people are no longer threatened by the cold winter, Yan Wang admires Ma Fujun very much, and wants to invite Ma Fujun to rush to Yan Kingdom, if you want, Yan Kingdom can exchange with thirty cities on the border between the two sides. ”
"You... What do you want to say? Do you want to exchange the castle for Mafu-kun?! King Zhao suddenly became a little annoyed, he frowned, furious, and hurriedly changed his words and said: "You listened, we just invited Ma Fujun to come to Yan Kingdom to give a lecture, this is the cost of inviting him to give a lecture, Yan Guo is willing to use the city as his food to invite him, not what you think." ”
Only then did King Zhao calm his anger, ponder for a moment, and then said, "You can find him yourself in this matter and talk to him in detail." ”
Jiang Qu hurriedly shifted the topic away from Ma Fujun, and he said: "When I entered Handan, I heard that the envoy of Wei was also in Handan, and he was still the world-famous beauty, Long Yangjun, I really wanted to meet him, I don't know if he is really as handsome as rumored?" ”
"He is indeed very handsome, and the widow is about to hold a banquet, please come to the banquet, and you will be able to see him then." , King Zhao said, Jiang Qu also laughed, and nodded hurriedly.
After sending away the envoys of the two countries, King Zhao sent someone to invite Pingyang Jun, and as a result, the samurai sent told King Zhao that Pingyang Jun had not awakened until now and was still fainting, so King Zhao had no choice but to hurry to Pingyang Jun's side. Pingyang Jun never woke up, motionless, Zhao Bu was very scared, he was already starting to cry, Zhao Wang was also very worried, he sat beside him for more than an hour, and only left when the banquet began.
When the banquet was held, King Zhao was still thinking about Pingyang Jun, and even forgot to recruit Long Yang Jun and Jiangqu.
Jiang Qu also met the beauty of Long Yangjun as he wished, Long Yangjun also heard of Jiang Qu's name, and was very affectionate to him, the two sat together and chatted, the two of them sat together, one beautiful and one ugly, Jiang Qu was even more unbearable, however, Jiang Qu didn't care, just sat beside Long Yang Jun indifferently, and talked about the friendly relationship between Yan and Wei, Long Yang Jun also smiled and inquired about Jiang Qu's intention.
At this time, a warrior came to King Zhao's side and told him: Pingyangjun was already awake.
King Zhao reluctantly said goodbye to everyone and left the palace in a hurry.
Long Yangjun and Jiang Qumu sent King Zhao away, and in an instant, the two looked at each other.
Both laughed.
ps: Something happened today, and it took a lot of time, so let's continue the third watch tomorrow.
