Chapter 1216: Xianyang invites
On the sixth day of the twelfth month, Zhao Hongrun received an invitation from Xianyang, the king of Qin invited him to Xianyang for a banquet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
This invitation means that the Wei envoy Du You has persuaded the king of Qin, and it means that the two countries will abandon their previous suspicions and become an alliance.
On the whole, it is good, but it is difficult to avoid that the King of Qin and the nobles of Xianyang will give him a disgrace in this banquet, after all, Zhao Hongrun did force the Qin State a little miserably some time ago.
"There is no good banquet, ...... feast"
Under the service of the finch, Zhao Hongrun complained while changing his clothes.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he called in the Zong Wei Changwei, who was outside the door, and asked, "Is Yangquan Jun Yingyi still in prison?" β
"Yes." Wei Jiao looked at His Highness in confusion.
It turned out that on the day when Weiyang Jun Yinghua ambushed the Wei army but was ambushed by the Wei army, Yangquan Jun Yingyi, who was defending Lantian, was also implicated, and after perceiving the strange withdrawal of the Wei army, he tried to wait for an opportunity to pursue the Wei army, but he did not expect that he was defeated by the Wei army of Weiyang Jun Yinghua and reflexively struck a blow, and even he himself was finally captured by Bai Fangming, the deputy general of the Dangshan Army, because of his outnumbered soldiers.
After Yangquan Jun was captured, the biggest obstacle for the Wei army to capture Lantian County had been removed, so Pang Meng, the brave general of the Dangshan Army, took Lantian County.
Although there is still Lantian Jun Ying Qi in Lantian County, this waste material cannot be compared with Yangquan Jun Ying Yi at all, so that when the Wei army attacked the city, he didn't think about how to defend the city, and actually thought about escaping.
The result can be imagined, the Wei army broke through Lantian without much effort, and by the way, captured Lantian Jun, who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Afterwards, Pang Meng sent people to escort Yangquan Jun Yingyi and Lantian Jun Yingqi to Feng Hao, originally about to expel the Qin people in Lantian County, but due to the timely appearance of Qin Shaojun changed the direction of the entire Qin and Wei battles, therefore, Pang Meng sat in Lantian and waited for Feng Hao's side to negotiate with Xianyang.
Before King Qin led an army of more than 100,000 to attack Feng Hao, Yangquan Jun Yingyi and Lantian Jun Yingqi were escorted to Feng Hao.
Different from the frightened and trembling Lantian Jun Yingyi, Yangquan Jun's attitude is very calm and calm, that is, the so-called killing and chopping, listening to and respecting, this bearish attitude of life and death has won Zhao Hongrun's respect, therefore, Zhao Hongrun put the two into prison in the city, preparing to use them as bargaining chips when Qin is willing to succumb.
Unexpectedly, because of Qin Shaojun's timely appearance, Qin Wei's last battle did not start, therefore, after thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun decided to let Qin Shaojun release Yangquan Jun to win the cymbal, and let Yangquan Jun win the cymbal as a "guide" for their group to go to Xianyang for the banquet.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this is also a way to show off force, which is intended to tell the Qin people in Xianyang: The famous generals of your country are all defeated generals of our army.
"Wei Jiao, you tell Yulong, and then let Yulong tell Qin ...... Qin Shaojun, well, just said that Yangquan Jun Yingyi was locked up in a prison in the city, he ...... She will understand what to do. Zhao Hongrun said with a tangled face.
"Yes." Wei Jiao clenched his fists and retreated, and after walking out of Zhao Hongrun's bedroom, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and said secretly in his heart: I hope His Highness's stubbornness will not mess up the originally good things.
About a moment later, under the leadership of Zong Wei Gao Kuo, Qin Shaojun came to the prison where Yangquan Jun Yingyi and Lantian Jun Yingqi were imprisoned.
I saw that at this time in the prison, Yangquan Jun Yingyi was sitting in the prison, closing his eyes and recuperating, while Lantian Jun Yingyi was shrinking in the corner and holding his head, as if he was afraid of something.
Hearing the movement outside the prison, Yangquan Jun Yingyi opened his eyes, and Lantian Jun Yingyi also raised his head.
When they saw Qin Shaojun, both of them showed shock on their faces, and they couldn't figure out why Qin Shaojun appeared here.
Could it be that my Great Qin won, defeated Wei Gongzirun, and recaptured Feng Hao?
Yangquan Jun Yingyi and Lantian Jun Yingyi subconsciously looked at the guards outside the prison, and couldn't help but be a little confused in their hearts, because those guards were still the Wei pawns they knew.
"Shaojun, are you also ......" Yangquanjun asked in surprise.
Qin Shaojun shook his head and said, "Two uncles, the battle between Qin and Wei is over, and I, the Qin people and the Wei people, are seeking an alliance. β
β¦β¦
Yangquan Jun Yingyi and Lantian Jun Yingqi glanced at each other, both of them were a little confused.
After all, a few days ago, the two sides of Qin and Wei were still in a life-and-death situation, why did they suddenly end the war? Even, even an alliance?
"Really, really?" Lantian Jun asked in surprise.
Qin Shaojun nodded kindly at Lantian Jun.
Although in her mind, Lantian Jun Yingqi's own uncle is not an ordinary waste firewood, it cannot be denied that this uncle treated her very well in the past, and often bought some Central Plains gadgets from the traveling merchants and gave them to her, which is also the reason why Qin Shaojun is curious about the Central Plains.
Because of her curiosity about the Central Plains, she would go to the Central Plains Wei five years ago, and on the way, she met Ji Run, the son of Wei, when she was hunting in Chenggao.
"Great, great, I'm not going to die, I'm not going to die......"
Under Qin Shaojun's helpless and embarrassed expression, Lantian Jun Yingqi hugged her and cried with joy, these days, it frightened him.
And looking at his appearance, even if it was Yang Quanjun Ying, he was quite embarrassed to look at it from the side.
After all, Gao Kuo and the others are standing outside the prison.
I have to say that even in the Qin State, where the people are strong, not all of them are hard bones who are not afraid of death, like Lantian Jun Yingqi, who is a waste wood who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the younger brother of the King of Qin, and the youngest son of the previous King of Qin, he would have been driven out of Lantian by the Xianyang nobles.
After appeasing Lantian Jun and winning the war, Qin Shaojun told Zhao Hongrun's original intention of releasing the two, and begged the two uncles to help in the end, after all, she knew very well that both her father, King Qin, and Zhao Hongrun, were the kind of people who wanted to save face very much, for fear that there would be any conflict between the two during the meeting.
Of course, when we talk about saving face, we don't mean their own face, but the face of their own people.
"I see."
Yangquan Jun Yingyi and Lantian Jun Yingqi suddenly realized that they were willing to act as peacemakers.
After all, everyone can see that when the Qin-Wei war was fought to the current point, in fact, both Qin and Wei sides did not want to fight, Qin was fighting because of the local war, and Wei was attacked by Han and Chu because of the local land, but because the relationship between the King of Qin and Wei Gongzi Run was unwilling to take the lead in bowing their heads and submitting to softness, so that this battle was fought to the end, and it purely became a battle of will.
There is simply no need for such a sustained battle of meanings.
However, Yangquan Jun Yingyi also raised his confusion: "At this time, I am afraid that the people of the country will not accept it, right?" β
Hearing this, Qin Shaojun pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "That's why His Majesty King Wei will suggest that the two countries marry. β
"Marriage? I see......"
Yangquan Jun Yingyi suddenly realized, and was about to express his opinion, but found that Qin Shaojun looked depressed for some reason, and his heart couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Subsequently, Qin Shaojun took Yangquan Jun Yingyi and Lantian Jun Yingqi to a mansion in the city, and after the two bathed and changed clothes, they led the two to the city guard mansion to meet Zhao Hongrun.
Because he had already learned from Qin Shaojun that Qin Wei was about to form an alliance, Yangquan Jun Yingyi's attitude towards Zhao Hongrun was no longer as tough and cold as before, after all, after removing the hostile relationship, his evaluation of this Wei Gongzirun was still very high.
And Lantian Jun won the game, purely hoping to please Zhao Hongrun, he was really frightened by Wei Jun.
In the afternoon of the same day, under the guidance of Yangquan Jun Yingyi and Lantian Jun Yingqi, Zhao Hongrun took Qi'er and Zhu Zongwei, Qin Shaojun and Princess Yulong, who wanted to visit the capital of the Qin king, and prepared to go to Xianyang, the new capital of Qin, under the protection of a thousand merchant and water troops led by Ran Teng, a thousand generals.
Before leaving, Zhao Hongrun issued an order to Wu Ji, Nanmen Chi, Bai Fangming and other Wei generals who came to see him off: Unless there are special circumstances, the Wei army will suspend any military operations; Moreover, it is not allowed to take the initiative to provoke the Qin army.
Of course, the generals did not dare and would not disobey the orders of His Royal Highness King Su, but they were still worried about Zhao Hongrun's trip to Xianyang, after all, Zhao Hongrun was the backbone of the more than 200,000 Wei troops on the battlefield of Western Wei.
However, Zhao Hongrun was not worried about this, because with his understanding of the Qin people, the Qin people could not do such a thing.
If there really were Qin people who dared to attack him at this time, maybe without his hands, the king of Qin would order someone to put him to death.
Hostility towards the Qin people is hostility, and in Zhao Hongrun's evaluation, the Qin people can be called above board, and they are generally the kind of brute character who does it since they are enemies, but they will not play some despicable tricks.
At the same time that Zhao Hongrun told the generals, Qin Shaojun told a team of cavalry from a distance, asking the latter to bring the news that Wei Gongzirun had left Feng Hao to go to Xianyang, so that Xianyang could prepare for the reception - Zhao Hongrun's status was a generation lower than that of King Qin, so according to the number of etiquette, Zhao Hongrun should be the first to go to Xianyang to meet King Qin; But correspondingly, Qin State Xianyang must also be prepared to receive this Wei Gongzi warmly, otherwise it will be a rude for Qin Fang.
"Stump, Tread, Treadβ"
The cavalry of the Qin army immediately went to Xianyang with Qin Shaojun's entrustment.
"What are those cavalrymen doing?" Princess Yulong asked curiously beside her.
Qin Shaojun explained with a smile: "I sent them to inform Xianyang, so that Xianyang can know our movements and prepare drinks and dishes in advance." β
"Uh-oh." Princess Yulong nodded suddenly, and then asked, "How far is Feng Ho from Xianyang?" How many days do we have to travel? β
Qin Shaojun explained softly: "Feng Ho is about forty miles away from Xianyang, if it is in normal times, it can be reached within one day, but in winter, the road is closed by heavy snow and the road is not smooth, and it may not be until tomorrow evening, I can only arrive in Xianyang." β
As soon as the words fell, I heard Zhao Hongrun's slightly contemptuous cold snort beside him: "Tomorrow? β
β¦β¦ Again and again, are you really not angry with me?!
Qin Shaojun turned his head, glared at Zhao Hongrun angrily, and said coldly, "Did I say something wrong?" β
"Of course!" Zhao Hongrun glanced at him and said lightly: "You can arrive in Xianyang today!" β
As soon as the words fell, the thousand-man general Ran Teng led a thousand Wei troops driving horse-drawn sleigh carts around the south of Fenghao City and stopped in the west of the city.
β¦β¦ He did it on purpose!
Qin Shaojun clenched his fists hatefully.
