Facts have proved that Zhao Hongrun's guess was not bad at all, because just a moment later, the more than 30 cavalrymen came to Zhao Hongrun's army, and the first general wearing a tiger helmet and tiger stripe armor was obviously Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan's fourth emperor brother, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hahahaha-"

From afar, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, let out a hearty laugh, and greeted him from afar: "Hongrun can be on the other side?" Your fourth brother, I came to pick you up in person, hahahaha. ”

『……』

Listening to the shouts of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, from afar, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Because to be honest, his relationship with the fourth emperor brother is not good or bad at all, when the two of them were still living in Daliang, the two did not meet a few times a year, even if they met occasionally, they just nodded to each other and said hello, removing the half-brother relationship, even if the two of them were called general friends.

"Brother, when did you have such a good relationship with the Four Emperor Brothers?"

Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

While wondering, he also felt a little surprised in his heart.

It's not because he saw that the Fourth Emperor Brother of Yan King Zhao Hongjiang came specially to welcome his brother Zhao Hongrun this time, but Zhao Hongxuan was very curious about when his brother established such a good relationship with the Four Emperor Brothers.

You must know that once upon a time, among the brothers, the brothers were only close to each other, and as for the rest of the brothers, they were actually very indifferent to each other.

Oh, excluding Zhao Hongzhao, the Rui King who is now serving as the left minister in the Qi Kingdom, for this sixth brother, whether it is Zhao Hongrun or Zhao Hongxuan, the relationship with Zhao Hongzhao is quite close.

"I wonder ...... too"

As soon as Zhao Hongrun wanted to explain, he saw that Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, had come to a short distance on his mount, so he immediately ended the conversation with his younger brother, drove the war horse out of the team, and arched his hand towards Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, who was riding a horse from a distance, and called with a smile: "Fourth emperor brother, don't come to harm." ”

"Hahahaha." Yan King Zhao Hongjiang came to Zhao Hongrun with a smile, looked up and down at this brother who was not valued by him, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect it, Hongrun, fourth brother, I used to think that I was the leader of my Zhao family, but I never thought that the heroes of the younger generation of my Zhao family were in front of me, but I didn't know ...... I heard about your heroic deeds of conquering the king of Chu last year, Du Shouying, good, good, good! …… Last year, no, at the end of the year before last, the situation in my Shanyang was tight, the imperial brother I had no time to take back to Daliang, missed to celebrate this matter for Hongrun, today I learned that Hongrun came to my Shanyang, I have specially asked someone to prepare a banquet, today, you and I have a drink, not drunk and do not return! ”

Saying this, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, patted Zhao Hongrun's shoulder excitedly, and with that fierce force, Zhao Hongrun grinned on the ground, only feeling a sharp pain in his shoulder.

Quietly moving his shoulders that were a little numb, Zhao Hongrun said with a wry smile: "The four emperor brothers misunderstood, it was not me who defeated Shouying, the royal capital of Chu State, at that time, and the two armies of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, and Tian Tan, the general of Qi, jointly attacked Shouying. I even suspect that Shou Ying was attacked at that time, and it may be the conspiracy of the king of Chu......"

"Huh!" Before Zhao Hongrun could finish explaining, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, waved his hand and interrupted the former's words.

I saw Zhao Hongjiang grab Zhao Hongrun's arm and say heroically: "No matter what, you also earned enough face for my Ji Zhao family, go, drink." ”

Grabbed by Zhao Hongjiang's arm, Zhao Hongrun only felt a sharp pain in his arm, if he hadn't seen the excitement of the Fourth Emperor Brother in front of him, he would really suspect that this Fourth Emperor Brother was deliberately taking advantage of the opportunity to commit a black hand.

But now it seems that this Fourth Emperor Brother is probably a reckless man with a true temperament.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun reminded: "Fourth Emperor Brother, my younger brother Hongxuan is also here. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, hurriedly drove his mount out of the team, came to the two of them, and called out with his fists: "Brother Four Emperors." ”

"Oh......" Yan King Zhao Hongjiang was obviously stunned for a moment, and his expression became a little weird.

Just when Zhao Hongxuan secretly wondered if the Fourth Emperor Brother in front of him had any prejudices against him, he saw that the Fourth Emperor Brother looked left and right a few times, and asked with a strange expression: "Zhao Hongli...... Is it coming? ”

Hearing this, the brothers Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan immediately understood.

After a wry smile, Zhao Hongxuan explained with some embarrassment: "Dong...... Well, the eldest prince is currently confined to his mansion, because of the "North One Military Camp Howling", he wants to forbid himself for a while. ”

Sure enough, after hearing that Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, did not come, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, immediately had a smile on his face, and immediately took Zhao Hongxuan's arm with his other hand, and pulled Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan The brothers said something like "if you don't get drunk today, you won't return".

This made Zhao Hongrun cry and laugh and secretly sighed: This fourth emperor brother is too straightforward, and he completely puts whatever he thinks on his face.

In view of the pain in his arm being grabbed by this Zhao Hongjiang, Zhao Hongrun repeatedly promised that he would definitely go to the banquet today to drink with the four emperor brothers, and the latter let go.

Ordering the army to slowly advance towards Shanyang, Zhao Hongrun asked Zhao Hongjiang: "Fourth Emperor Brother, what is the current situation in Shanyang?" ”

It can be seen that although Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, looks reckless, he is actually not a reckless man, as soon as he heard Zhao Hongrun's question, he had already guessed a few points in his heart, and said with a smile: "Hongrun wants to ask the Korean army that passed through my Shanyang yesterday, right?" …… Rest assured, they're gone. ”

"Gone?" Zhao Hongxuan asked in surprise.

"Yes." Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, touched the stubble on his chin, frowned and said: "Yesterday really scared me, I was originally planning to send troops to attack Mengmen Pass, but as soon as I led the army out of (Shanyang) City, I found that the sound of horses' hooves in the west was like thunder. …… At that time, I thought that Qinyang had been broken by the Korean army. Later, Pang Huan, the deputy general of the Northern Second Army, sent someone to send me a message, and I learned that it turned out that the Korean army at Tianmen Pass could not hold the pass and was preparing to evacuate from my Shanyang. ”

Speaking of this, he struck with his fists and palms, and said with some annoyance: "They have too many soldiers, there are no less than 30,000 cavalry alone, I didn't dare to lead the army to attack, I can only watch them stationed in the north of my Shanyang." The Korean army that let Mengmen Pass also escape...... Pity! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun asked with a little surprise: "The Han army at Mengmen Pass has also withdrawn?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Hongjiang nodded and explained: "At that time, the tens of thousands of Korean troops were stationed between my Shanyang and Mengmen Pass for half a day, and they didn't attack my Shanyang, so I thought it was very strange, but I didn't expect that after half a day, on the side of Mengmen Pass, the Han army set a fire and burned the pass. …… I went up the mountain early this morning to take a look, and Mengmen Pass was indeed burned by the Han army. ”

Speaking of this, he asked in confusion: "Hongrun, you are from Tianmen Pass, you should know why the Han army evacuated from Tianmen Pass, right?" When this South Korean army withdrew, it also took the South Korean army on the side of Mengmen Pass...... I thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan snickered twice, and said mysteriously: "Fourth Emperor Brother, the reason why the Han army in Tianmen Pass evacuated is because my brother led the army to defeat Hyun's City and Changzi City, cutting off the back road of Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass. ”

Yan King Zhao Hongjiang's eyes widened when he heard this, and he grabbed Zhao Hongrun's arm excitedly again, and asked in surprise: "Hongrun, have you defeated the Hyun clan and the eldest son?" ”

Grabbed by Zhao Hongjiang's arm again, Zhao Hongrun bared his teeth in pain and nodded again and again.

"I see...... I see! ”

Zhao Hongjiang slowly let go of Zhao Hongrun, and said suddenly: "I'll just say, this is good, why did the Korean troops in Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass suddenly withdraw their troops?" Oh, it turned out that you copied Hongrun from the back road...... Tut! Speaking of this, he clapped his fists again and said in annoyance: "It's a pity! If I had learned about this a few days earlier, I would have taken Mengmen Pass. ”

Zhao Hongrun smiled when he heard this, but didn't say anything.

It's not that he despises Zhao Hongjiang or the Shanyang army under his command, it's just that he guesses that most of the food hoards in Mengmen Pass are sufficient, and in this case, most of the Shanyang army will not be able to forcibly conquer this pass, even if he adds his Su Wang army.

Of course, this refers to the premise that the Su Wang Army does not use the natural disaster-level strategic weapon of oil barrel bombs.

So, he sloppily said: "Mengmen Pass, isn't it now in the hands of the Four Emperor Brothers?" It makes no difference. ”

"How can this be said to be indistinguishable?"

The upright Zhao Hongjiang could not accept Zhao Hongrun's statement, in his opinion, it was one thing for him to lead the army to conquer Mengmen Pass, and after the withdrawal of the Korean army from Mengmen Pass, he left a burned air pass to him, this is another matter, how can the two be compared?

The three brothers chatted and slowly came to Shanyang County.

When entering the city, Zhao Hongrun was stunned by the scene he saw with his own eyes, because he found that as long as there were adult (civilians fifteen years old) men in Shanyang City, they all carried weapons, swords, spears, bows and crossbows, some of which looked like they were military weapons, while others were more like they were made by themselves and were relatively rough.

However, according to the criminal law of the Wei State, weapons are controlled items, and except for nobles, civilians, including the guards of some nobles, are not allowed to carry weapons around the city.

As if he saw Zhao Hongrun's doubts, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, said with a smile: "The men in my Shanyang City are all militia members of my Shanyang Army, don't underestimate them." …… Sanyang was almost broken by the Korean army several times, and they all relied on the men in the city to fight side by side with our army, desperately defending the city. Therefore, I made an exception to confer the honor on the men of the city, and made fun of the weapons control. ”

"But you don't have that right......

The brothers Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan glanced at each other, both a little dumbfounded.

You must know that even if you are a prince, you can't decide this kind of thing.

"Have the four emperor brothers reported to the imperial court?" Zhao Hongrun asked tentatively.

"Why do you say you need to report this? …… Does this really need to be reported? Yan King Zhao Hongjiang asked in surprise.

"This is obviously something to report......

Zhao Hongrun couldn't cry or laugh.

During the banquet, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, chatted with Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan about the current situation, and when he learned that the brothers planned to lead the army to counterattack the Handan army in South Korea, Zhao Hongjiang could not hide the joy in his heart, and immediately asked to join.

Zhao Hongrun readily agreed.

After all, for Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, even though they still didn't have any friendship with each other as of five years ago, this did not prevent Zhao Hongrun from admiring this fourth emperor brother.

After all, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, was stationed in Shanyang for five full years, and when he Zhao Hongrun led his army to attack the state of Chu, the four emperor brothers silently guarded the northern frontier of the Wei state.

Just as Zhao Hongjiang felt Zhao Hongrun's heroic oath back then: the prince guards the country.

Shanyang is the gate of Wei in the northern Xinjiang, and Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, is the guard stationed at this gate.
