"It's a pity that Qu Ping, the king of Xiling, was actually detained by the king of Chu......"
Reading the latest news sent from the State of Chu, Zhao Hongrun sighed with regret.
Because in his opinion, all the people of the Qu clan together are not as valuable as Xiling Jun Qu Ping alone, but unfortunately, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, also took this into account and did not exile Xiling Jun Qu Ping to the Guling area, but detained him in the current temporary palace of the king of Chu.
However, for Zhao Hongrun's emotion, the doorman Wen Qi did not think so.
"According to your Majesty, Your Highness really doesn't need to be so sorry. β¦β¦ Although Qu Ping, the king of Xiling, is not small, but he is loyal to the king of Chu, even if this person is exiled to Guling, is His Royal Highness sure to persuade this person? β
Listening to Wen Qi's point-to-point opinion, Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned.
I have to say that Wen Qi's opinion is quite accurate, you know, Xiling Jun Qu Ping was forced to rebel because he learned that Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, wanted to completely eradicate the entire Qu clan, so he was forced to resist helplessly, no, when Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, retracted his order and decided to exile Qu to Guling, Qu Ping, the king of Xiling, who still had tens of thousands of elite troops in his hands at that time, immediately disbanded the army and surrendered to Shouling Jun Jingshe.
Such a monarch who was loyal to the king of Chu and the state of Chu, even if it was Zhao Hongrun, he couldn't persuade the other party to switch to the state of Wei, or take revenge on the state of Chu.
"It's a pity that I received a net of fish fry, but I lost a big fish......" Zhao Hongrun sighed lightly and shook his head.
"Don't worry." Wen Qi chuckled when he heard this: "That Xiling Jun, I'm afraid it's difficult to do anything......
Zhao Hongrun naturally understood what Wen Qi meant: Qu Ping, the king of Xiling, gave up continuing to be an enemy of the king of Chu's party at the last moment, which accelerated the defeat of the opposition, if nothing else, the Qu family probably hated Qu Ping, a "traitor"; As for the Chu King Xiong Xu's side, I'm afraid he won't continue to reuse Qu Ping.
If it is not surprising, that Xiling Jun Qu Ping, one of the three pillars of the Chu State, I am afraid that he can only be a civil official in the palace of the king of Chu in the future, not to mention the military power, I am afraid that even his personal freedom will be lost - after all, this person's status is too transcendent, and Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, will definitely not give him freedom.
"It's a pity that a great talent." Zhao Hongrun said with emotion.
Hearing this, Wen Qi laughed and said lightly: "The talent that is destined not to be obtained, His Royal Highness King Su, you are destined to break your head, and you are not destined to get it." β¦β¦ Instead of thinking about these useless things, His Highness should think about how to use those Qu clansmen who have been exiled to Guling. With that, he turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun, and asked tentatively, "Does Your Highness plan to recruit these people?" β
"How is that possible?" Zhao Hongrun shook his head.
"That's good." Wen Qi nodded, and Zhengse said: "Your Majesty knows what His Royal Highness King Su wants, it is nothing more than a reputation, but the status of the Qu family, Your Highness still don't take it as a blessing." β
"This king understands." Zhao Hongrun said with a smile when he heard this: "Mr. Wen, rest assured, this king has never thought of recruiting those people to my Great Wei...... This king just wants to disgust and disgust the Chu State, so that the Qu clan will add some chaos to the Chu State from time to time. β
Wen Qi smiled, and didn't ask anything, does the Qu clan still have the strength to cause chaos to the Chu State? Such stupid questions.
As long as there is a certain Su King secretly supporting him behind his back, this is not a problem at all.
"In what name?" Wen Qi Zhengse asked: "If this matter accidentally leaks the news, it will be caught by the Chu State." β
Zhao Hongrun thought about it, touched his chin and said with a smile: "Just ...... Pity the fate of the Qu clan now, for the sake of each other's long and ancient bloodline, give a certain amount of humanitarian support, what does Mr. Wen think? β
"Invulnerable!" Wen Qi gave a thumbs up and smiled in praise.
He once again witnessed with his own eyes that His Royal Highness King Su in front of him was really a rare outstanding talent in the world, such as the civil war between the Xiong clan and the Qu clan in Chu State a while ago, and an appeal forced the Chu King Xiong Xu to kill the Qu clan completely, which was also a clever conspiracy in Wen Qi's view.
Wen Qi believed that Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, must have gritted his teeth and changed the verdict against the Qu clan.
Otherwise, as the king of Chu, Xiong Xu is the dignified king of Chu, how could he write so many sarcastic words on that national letter, sarcastically mocking the father and son of Wei Tianzi and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, obviously hating a certain king of Su.
"I'll leave this matter to the door." Wen Qi arched his hand and made a proposal that surprised Zhao Hongrun.
"You went to Shangshui County on behalf of the king?" Zhao Hongrun was really surprised.
In fact, Zhao Hongrun has a lot of things in his hands, such as the resettlement of millions of refugees who migrated from the Chu State.
Originally, this matter should have been handled by him personally, but the embarrassing thing is that the Wei clan in Longxi was about to arrive in Wei, and after hearing the news, even his third uncle Zhao Laiyu sent a letter, ready to come to Daliang in person, so you can imagine the importance of this matter.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun really couldn't go to the fiefdom at this time to deal with the resettlement of refugees from Chu State.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qi mentioned it himself, saying that he was willing to share his worries.
This surprised Zhao Hongrun, but also was very happy, after all, Wen Qi's talent was no less than him, and the proper resettlement of the refugees of Chu State could not be the result of this resourceful talent.
However, why was this Wen talent suddenly ready to give him advice?
Don't......
"Run by Lu'er?" Zhao Hongrun's cold words made Wen Qi slightly discolored.
"How, how is it possible!" After settling down, Wen Qi said with a straight face: "My subordinates just feel that since they worshiped His Royal Highness King Su, they have not built an inch, and they feel ......ashamed in their hearts."
"It seems that it is indeed a run on the green." Zong Wei Zhou Pu's smiling words not only made all the Zong Wei laugh, but also made Wen Qi's face even more ugly.
"Alright, alright." Seeing that Wen Qi's face was as swollen as a pig's liver, Zhao Hongrun waved his hand, sat down at the desk, took a pen and wrote a list on paper, and then handed the list to Wen Qi after blowing the ink.
"Xihua County Commander Xu Youzhi? What is the head of the post station in Yuxian County? Huang Yu, the county magistrate of Yuxian County? Reading the names on the list, Wen Qi looked at Zhao Hongrun suspiciously, and asked puzzledly: "His Royal Highness King Su, who are these people?" β
"It was the acquaintance of this king, this king had contact with them, they were all the pillars of my Great Wei, Mr. Wen went as a staff member of this king, you might as well get closer to them."
Wen Qi suddenly realized: it turned out that the people on the list were all "their own people".
After carefully reading the names of the list a few times, Wen Qi handed the list back to Zhao Hongrun, and arched his hand and said: "The subordinates have written it down, I don't know when His Royal Highness King Su will send the subordinates forward?" β
Zhao Hongrun had long suspected that Wen Qi also had an unforgettable talent, so he didn't mind Wen Qi returning the list so much, nodded and said, "Since Mr. Wen is willing to share the worries of this king, then there is no further ado...... Departing this afternoon, does Mr. Wen have any objections? β
Wen Qi shook his head and said that he had no objections.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun turned his head and said to Zhong Zongwei: "Gao Kuo, Chong Zhao, He Miao, Zhu Gui, the four of you will bring twenty more Su Wang Wei to escort Mr. Wen to Shangshui, and you must ensure that Mr. Wen is thorough."
"Yes!" The four sect guards clenched their fists and took the order.
At noon that day, Zhao Hongrun hosted a banquet for Wen Qi in a side hall of the mansion and saw him off.
After he was full of wine and food, Wen Qi and four Zongwei and twenty Su Wangwei bid farewell to Zhao Hongrun and prepared to go to Xiangfu Port, from where they took a boat to Shangshui.
Although Wen Qi kept saying that he didn't have to send him off, Zhao Hongrun still sent Wen Qi to the port and watched him leave by boat.
Because, Wen Qi did him a great favor when he was flawless.
If only there were a few more wise men like Wen Qi and Luo Ying......
Watching the ship leave, Zhao Hongrun sighed secretly in his heart.
Think about it, if there are more strategists and thinkers like Wen Qi and Luo Ying around him who can take charge of themselves, even if he frolicks and plays like his six uncles all day long, he will not delay much business, but unfortunately, there are very few aspiring talents who defect to him, almost none, and Wen Qi is currently the only one who has gained his trust.
And so a few more days passed, and during these days, he took Princess Yulong to the smelting bureau every day, and left the latter in the smelting bureau for her to play...... No, I tested the sniper crossbow that the Smelting Bureau was greatly improving, and I went to inspect the development of the Smelting Bureau.
For example, the hearth outside the city, the firing of fire bricks, the construction process of the Bolangsha River Port, and so on.
However, on June 26, Zhao Hongrun decided to go to the garrison of the Youma Army.
Princess Yulong, who was traveling with her, was a little unhappy at first, but when she learned that the Horse Warrior was actually a cavalry, she immediately became happy, after all, she also liked to ride horses.
The garrison of the Youma Army is currently stationed in the eastern suburbs of the Daliang Wangcheng, and the newly built military camp does not occupy a large area, after all, the current establishment of the Youma Army is only more than 5,000 people.
When Zhao Hongrun and his entourage came to the military camp of the Youma Army, the cavalry governor will travel the horse, no, it should be called Ma You, and he has already been waiting outside the barracks - as the Youma Army has resumed its number, a certain man who once called himself Youma has also changed his name.
In this regard, Ma You explained it like this: When the Youma Army was abandoned by the Wei State, he changed his name to Youma because he didn't want to forget his former companions, and now that Youma Jun has resumed his number, it is not appropriate for him to call himself Youma anymore, because he feels that Youma Jun does not belong to him alone.
As a result, Youma changed its name to Ma You.
"Yuma...... No, Ma You, take it. After meeting Ma You, Zhao Hongrun handed a holy decree to the latter.
"What is this?" Ma You unfolded the holy decree suspiciously, glanced at it twice, and then his eyes widened, and his whole person couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
Because only one line was written on this holy decree: The First Cavalry of the Great Wei Dynasty - Dangjun Youma
patting Ma You on the shoulder, Zhao Hongrun said in a complicated tone: "The old man wants to save face, let him admit his mistakes, it's difficult, this king can only do this......"
"No, no, this is enough......" A man like Ma You was also moved to tears, knelt on the ground towards Daliang City, held the holy decree in both hands, and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" β
Looking at Ma You, who was excited and couldn't do it himself, Zhao Hongrun secretly sighed, he knew that whether it was Ma You or You Ma Jun, he had been waiting for this moment for more than ten years.
This is the man of my Great Wei, who has endured humiliation and burdens for more than ten years, and still does not forget his loyalty......
Zhao Hongrun stretched out his hand to grab Ma You's arm, helped him up, and then changed the topic with a smile: "What about You Ma Jun?" Today, the king is inspecting. β
Ma You wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and said with a happy face: "Your Highness, rest assured, my Ma Jun will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations......" As he was saying, he seemed to feel something, turned his head to look into the distance, and said with a smile: "It's here!" β
"Bang bang bang-"
"Bang bang bang-"
The ground beneath his feet seemed to tremble.
Immediately, a cavalry figure appeared in the distance.
"The Horse Army?" Zong Wei Lu Mu frowned and muttered, "This shaking of the earth, it's not quite right......"
The faces of the Zongwei showed a little confusion, because they felt that there were only about 5,000 ranger cavalry, even if the whole army charged, there would not be such an earthquake.
"What's that?"
Suddenly, Princess Yulong's eyes widened in horror.
She took a closer look, only to find that the cavalry in the distance, the cavalry were wearing thick black armor one by one, and even their faces were wearing face armor, only revealing two eyes, and what was even more terrifying was that even the war horses under their crotches were wearing thick iron armor.
Where is this still cavalry, this is clearly a moving steel fortress!
"Ride...... Soldier? β
Princess Yulong looked at Zhao Hongrun in surprise, because she felt that the cavalry in front of her was not consistent with what she knew.
However, at this time, Zhao Hongrun had a heartfelt smile on his face.
"Ah, cavalry...... Heavy cavalry! β
If the light cavalry is the king of the cold weapon battlefield, then the heavy cavalry is the obsession that Zhao Hongrun can't let go of in his heart.
Even if the glory of the heavy cavalry is only a flash in the pan, it is destined to be eliminated like a chariot. (To be continued.) )
