Chapter 64: Fighting for Yan Gongzi
Just as Wei Si and the three of them got up and were about to return to their residence, they suddenly found another shout from the city:
"Yan Gongzi escaped...... Yan Gongzi fled...... Yan Gongzi has escaped! ”
At this time, the Korean soldiers patrolling the city quickly all moved eastward.
Zi Lian asked Wei Si:
"My lord, should we follow these soldiers to see it too?"
Wei Si replied:
"No need, since Yan Gongzi lives near the East Gate, it is impossible for him to leave from the East Gate, because the defense over there must be the tightest!"
Su Qin also asked:
"Then the king, do you think this Yan Gongzi will escape from the West Gate?"
Wei Si shook his head:
"Impossible, if you escape from the West Gate, Yan Gongzi can only go to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Zhou Jun Ji Gen is just a puppet of Korea, Yan Gongzi naturally understands in his heart that escaping to the Eastern Zhou Kingdom is tantamount to killing himself, so it is impossible for him to escape to the West Gate."
Su Qin then said:
"Then the east gate and the west gate are impossible, and the north gate is a hundred miles away from the Yellow River, and now it is almost dusk, it seems that it is impossible for Yan Gongzi to go through the north gate, isn't it only the direction of Chu at the south gate?"
魏嗣 says:
"Yes, so Ji Zi, you hurry up and inform the carriage and horses to get ready, the widow is going to rescue Yan Gongzi outside the south gate, this Yan Gongzi is categorically unable to enter the land of Chu, if it falls into the hands of the King of Chu, then our previous plan will be in vain!"
So Su Qin went back and ordered someone to prepare a car and start out of the city from the south gate of Xinzheng to catch up with Yan Gongzi.
Unexpectedly, when he walked a few miles outside the city, he ran into King Han's car, and at this time, it could be seen that King Han naturally came out in person because of this Yan Gongzi.
After Wei Si and King Han were in parallel, he deliberately asked King Han:
"I don't know where you're going to go so late, King Han?"
Han Wang replied:
"Just now this king received the letters of state from King Qi and Zhao Jun, and both monarchs want this king to send Yan Gongzi to their country, and before that, the widow received the news that Yan Gongzi killed people and fled to Chu State, so the widow wanted to chase Yan Gongzi back and avoid it from the death penalty!"
Then he asked King Wei with some puzzlement:
"I don't know why King Wei didn't rest so late and came out in the car?"
Wei Si replied:
"This king has just received the news that the king of Chu has invited him to join the alliance, so he should rush to the state of Chu and make an alliance with the king of Chu?"
King Han hurriedly asked again:
"Then what about your change of place, King Wei?"
Wei Si replied:
"Only King Han you agree, after this king returns to Daliang from Chu, he will send the map of the three places to Zhengdi, and exchange the three cities with King Han!"
King Han had long felt in his heart that it was easy to obtain four times the land of Wei with only three cities, and they were all rich military lands, so of course he had already made plans to change places.
When South Korea was discussing with his uncle Xiangguo, he was only discussing whether to get the land of Xiangling of Wei, after all, if South Korea sent out Yewang, Yidi, and Heyang to get Shangluo and Hanguguan of Wei, it would have taken a big advantage.
At this time, it is inevitably a bit too much to ask for the Xiangling words that the King of Wei should undertake in Hexi, and if you get the Xiangling of Wei at this time, then Korea will have Xiangling and Shangdang in the future, and the two non-adjacent lands are not conducive to jurisdiction, so it is better to return them to Wei, at least it is a personal favor.
King Han replied very excitedly at this time:
"Okay, since the king of Wei is so generous, how can this king be stingy, after all, the Xiangling in the south of your Wei country is the southern gateway of your Daliang, and this king doesn't want it!"
Wei Si saw that King Han actually took the initiative to give up asking for Xiangling, but he didn't expect it, and he handed over Xiangling to King Han because of the last resort of the Battle of Hexi, so he said to King Han very gratefully:
"King Han really has the bearing of a king, so ...... Okay, then our Wei and Han countries will be the closest countries in the future! ”
After speaking, he suddenly ordered someone to speed up the carriage and shook off King Han's car, and ran all the way south to chase Yan Gongzi.
King Han was still in a burst of self-please, and when he reacted, King Wei was gone, so he hurriedly ordered the coachman to speed up and pursue the position of Prince Yan.
Wei Si's chariot pursued Yan Gongzi's escape path until he reached Luyang Pass, which was close to the border between Han and Chu.
At this time, I only heard that the soldiers of Chu at the Luyang Pass were checking the merchants and travelers of various countries who went to Chu one by one, but it was obvious that the scholars accounted for the majority.
After all, in this great era of vertical and horizontal competition, these scholars and lobbyists who want to show their ambitions are naturally competing to travel to various countries like Zhang Yi and Su Dai to realize their ideals.
Wei Si was in a hurry at this time, so naturally he didn't change into the service of King Wei, but was still wearing the civilian clothes of the day before yesterday, and Wei Si was accompanied by Wei Ran and more than 30 relatives, coachmen and others.
Wei Si was supported by Wei Ran, got out of the carriage, came to the front of the pass, and asked Wei Ran to take the silk calligraphy and painting statue of Yan Gongzi to ask the Chu soldiers guarding the pass if they had seen Yan Gongzi pass the pass, but these Chu soldiers were too arrogant and rude, and Wei Ran was directly coaxed out.
Seeing this, Wei Si personally took the portrait of Yan Gongzi and went to ask the general of the Chu army guarding the pass:
"I don't know if you've ever seen the boy in the portrait?"
General Chu glanced at Wei Si, then took the portrait in Wei Si's hand and looked at it, and then directly threw the portrait on the ground:
"You have to find someone to find someone else, our Luyang Pass is not a place for you Sanjin people to look for people!"
Wei Ran naturally couldn't help but be angry, so he rushed towards General Chu and said:
"You brutes, you are really bold!"
Immediately, a group of Chu soldiers hurriedly came over and surrounded Wei Ran, only to hear General Chu come over and question Wei Ran:
"Don't you little guy want to live anymore?"
Wei Ran pointed at himself, and then pointed at Wei Si:
"Do you know who we are?"
General Chu sneered at Wei Ran:
"Huh...... I don't care who you are, in this Luyang Pass, this general is the sky, you dare to offend this general, it is tantamount to offending the sky! ”
Then he said to his subordinates:
"Take this arrogant little guy down and clean it up!"
Wei Ran was about to tell the identity of himself and Wei Si all of a sudden, but was stopped by Wei Si coming over, at this time Wei Si took the opportunity to take out a jade ring and stuffed it into the general's hand, and the general ordered someone to let go of Wei Ran.
So Wei Si hurriedly pulled Wei Ran back to his car and persuaded:
"Ran, this is Chu Pass after all, don't be so impulsive!"
Wei Ran was still a little unconvinced:
"But these Chu soldiers are unreasonable, after all, my mother is also the princess of Chu!"
At this moment, Wei Si suddenly saw several strangely dressed people coming over at the pass, the first of these people, wrapped in linen, almost only revealing a pair of eyes and nose.
Wei Si pointed to these people and said to Wei Ran:
"Wei Ran, have you seen these people dressed up? It's weird."
Wei Si touched his forehead:
"My lord, I think I've seen them dressed up like this somewhere!"
Seeing this, Wei Si walked over and asked a few travelers who were going to Chu:
"Do you know who the guys are dressed up into?"
One of the wanderers replied to Wei Si:
"This kind of dress is quite like a representative of the country!"
Then another man said:
"It's not like, it's not like, people don't wear this kind of trousers!"
The last one says:
"Aren't they annoying?"
At this time, Wei Ran also ran over and said to Wei Si excitedly:
"King, I know where I've seen this kind of costume, they are Yan people, when Yan came to envoy Qin in the past, Yan envoys were also dressed like this!"
Wei Siyi was pleasantly surprised:
"Swallow people? Wei Ran, you're sure! ”
Wei Ran replied:
"Absolutely not wrong, it's the Yan people, because I also talked to the Yan envoy at the time, so it's impossible for me to forget what it was wearing at the time!"
Wei Si hurriedly pulled Wei Ran and said:
"It seems that these four people must be a few of Yan Gongzi, you hurry up and find a way to call Yan Gongzi back, don't let it enter the Chu Realm!"
Wei Ran replied:
"Good!"
Then he hurriedly rushed towards the four personnel in strange costumes who were about to enter the customs.
When the four of them were about to be inspected and entered, they were stopped by Wei Ran.
I only heard Wei Ran say to the man at the head:
"Yan Gongzi can't enter the customs, it's dangerous!"
The leader was stunned for a moment, and then asked Wei Ran:
"Why can't you enter the country?"
Wei Si explained:
"Son, if you enter the Chu Kingdom, there is only one way to die, and the King of Chu will never let you go, you should think about it!"
The person who is the leader is really Yan Gongzi Ji.
Only listened to Ji Ji said helplessly:
"But now that I don't enter the Chu realm, where else can I go? Back to Korea? Zheng Diren will definitely not tolerate me! ”
Wei Ran immediately said:
"Aren't you considering going to the Wei State to accommodate yourself, Gongzi?"
Ji Zhi sighed and said:
"I know that King Wei is kind to my Ji Zhi, but I don't want to trouble King Wei anymore, after all, I have offended South Korea, which will bring ** annoyance to King Wei!"
Wei Ran showed a smile at Ji Zhi:
"Childe, you can't say that, our King Wei is not the kind of master who is afraid of things, and in order to protect your safety, our King Wei followed you all the way to this Luyang Pass!"
Yan Gongzi Ji Zhi looked at Wei Si with some incredulity:
"What? King Wei actually came to this Luyang Pass with me, a Yan Gongzi who was a hostage in another country, from Xinzheng, a hundred miles away? ”
Wei Ran nodded:
"Yes, if you don't believe in Gongzi, you can follow me to meet King Wei, it is waiting for you nearby?"
Ji Zhi looked left and right, then agreed to Wei Ran, and followed Wei Ran to Wei Si's car.
After Ji Zhi saw Wei Si, he hurriedly walked over with the entourage behind him and saluted:
"King Wei, thank you for your protection along the way!"
Wei Si replied with a smile:
"This king is also afraid that Gongzi will be in danger, so he followed and wanted to invite Gongzi to our Wei Kingdom!"
Ji Zhi looked around at the entourage again, and after seeing several people nodding their heads, Ji Zhi replied to Wei Si:
"Since you are so gracious, then my Ji Zhi is willing to go to Daliang with the king!"
At this moment, one of Wei Si's relatives hurriedly ran over and said to Wei Si:
"Report to the king, King Han's car is less than two miles away."
