"Hongrun, I owe you three lives. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

On the East City Gate Tower in Shanyang County, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, held a wine cup and solemnly thanked him.

Beside him, Princess Yan Sun, the three daughters of the Li family and the Sun family in the side room, also raised a glass with their husbands to toast Zhao Hongrun, thanking the uncle for leading the army in time to support.

Don't look at the fact that they have made up their minds to die in Shanyang with their husbands, but that's because they, as the women of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, don't want to disgrace their husbands and their mothers, but if there is a glimmer of life, how can they be willing to leave their children behind and die at a prime age?

It is precisely for this reason that when they learned that their brother-in-law Zhao Hongrun led reinforcements to Shanyang in time to support, Princess Yan Sun and the two side sisters cried bitterly and cried with joy.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun was very emotional.

In his impression, the fourth sister-in-law, Princess Yan Sun, and the two daughters of the Li family and the Sun family in the side room, these three women, as the princesses and side rooms of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, have always been very low-key.

He also heard that when Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, was still serving as a deputy general under the late Southern Yan general Wei Mu, he proposed to form a new army in Shanyang to share the pressure of the Southern Yan army.

However, at that time, the finances of the imperial court were very tight, and under the operation of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, although the number of the Shanyang Army was approved, the military salary needed to be raised by the four royal brothers.

In this case, Princess Yan Sun and the three daughters of the Li family and the Sun family in the side room sold their clothes and jewelry, took out their private money to support their men, and persuaded Huang Sun's family to help her husband more times.

It can be said that Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, formed the Shanyang Army, and the three daughters of the Yan princess Sun and the side room Li and Sun contributed a lot.

Because of the need to feed an army, the finances of the Yan Wangfu were always quite tight, until later, because of the promotion of the Weichuan trade, the financial resources of the imperial court gradually became full, so some food was allocated to the Shanyang army.

Since then, the women of Yanwangfu have finally had some spare money to buy themselves some decent clothes and jewelry, but they are far from being generous.

And the Yan princess Sun and the three daughters of the Li family and the Sun family in the side room who appeared in front of Zhao Hongrun today were wearing decent costumes and jewelry.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, will solemnly thank Zhao Hongrun, and say that I owe you three lives - he is not grateful to Zhao Hongrun because he was saved, he is grateful to Zhao Hongrun, it is the latter who saved the three wives who have supported him from beginning to end.

In fact, not only the three of Yan Princess Sun and the other three people had a kind of joy of escaping from death, but Yan King Zhao Hongjiang was even more apprehensive, because just a little bit, he would have to kill his three favorite confidantes with his own hands, and then the couple were martyred in Shanyang City.

"Fourth brother, you are serious. …… The three sisters-in-law should not do the same. Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

Drinking this glass of wine means that he acquiesced to the fact that the fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law owed him a great favor, but Zhao Hongrun felt that the fourth brother and four sisters-in-law stuck to Shanyang and made great contributions to the entire Northern Xinjiang battlefield.

This is not a lie, you must know that it is precisely because the Han general Ju Xin failed to capture Shanyang as soon as possible that the two Han armies of Hanoi Ju Xin and Hedong Lecheng failed to converge. Otherwise, if Han generals Le Cheng and Ju Xin captured Hedong and Hanoi counties respectively, and stationed their troops in various key roads of the two counties, the Qin-Wei coalition forces might not be able to quickly reach Hanoi in a few months to support Wei proper.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was precisely because Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, led the Shanyang army to desperately hold Shanyang County, so that all the Wei territory in Hebei would not be conquered by the Han army, and the Qin-Wei coalition army led by Zhao Hongrun could pass smoothly.

If Zhao Hongrun led the Qin-Wei coalition army in the future to support Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, to repel the Korean army, then Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, should be the first to take the lead in the entire war in northern Xinjiang.

Not because he had the greatest merit, but because he had made a crucial contribution: without him, Zhao Hongrun would not have been able to support Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, as quickly as possible. In terms of the current war situation, without the support of Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, would be defeated. And once he loses the battle, the Han army will break through the great river and attack Liang County of Wei, seriously threatening the royal capital of Wei.

In fact, it was precisely with this in mind that Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, had previously refused to move his army out, otherwise, with the 22,000 troops under his command at that time, as long as he could ruthlessly leave the people of Shanyang, there would be no danger at all, and even his woman was almost martyred.

Therefore, when Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, said words of gratitude, Zhao Hongrun felt that it was the country, the imperial court, and the thousands of people in Liang County who owed the four royal brothers a great favor.

But in the end, due to the insistence of Zhao Hongjiang and his wife, Zhao Hongrun still accepted the drink.

However, after accepting this toast, he also gave a toast to his fourth brother and sister-in-law in return, so as to express his respect.

After a few words of greeting between the two sides, Zong Wei Gao Kuo walked into the building from the city wall and bowed to Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, uh...... Shaojun is here. ”

Shaojun?

Yan King Zhao Hongjiang didn't react for a while, and was about to ask the eighth brother in front of him, but he saw that the expression of the eighth brother Zhao Hongrun was a little strange.

After about a dozen breaths, a sound of footsteps and armor shaking was heard outside the building, and immediately, Qin Shaojun led a team of Qin soldiers to come here.

……

Yan King Zhao Hongjiang frowned slightly.

Because the people who came broke in without the permission of him and Zhao Hongrun, but the strange thing is that the guards of Zhao Hongrun, his eighth brother in the city tower, did not mean to stop the people who came, which made him secretly surprised in his heart.

As the master of Shanyang, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, stood up, hugged his fists and said: "My person Zhao Jiang, I don't know if your Excellency is ......."

Glancing at Zhao Hongrun, who was still sitting in the seat as if he was ignoring, Qin Shaojun frowned, but when she looked at Zhao Hongjiang, a smile appeared on her face, and she returned the salute: "Wei Gongzijiang's brave name, Yu Su has heard of it, and I can see it today, and he is worthy of being a hero in the world!" …… Yu is the young monarch of Daqin, polite, Gongzi Jiang. ”

Childe Jiang? Qin people?

Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, couldn't turn a corner, and he didn't understand what was going on at all.

After all, in his impression, the Qin State is the enemy of their Wei State, I remember that the year before last, his eighth brother Zhao Hongjiang also annihilated the 200,000 Qin army in Sanchuan County, and this time, it is said that the eighth brother led the army to the Qin State itself, it is hard to imagine that the young monarch of the Qin State would greet him so politely.

Because he couldn't see anything from the expression of the eighth brother Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, turned his head to look at the former Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao, and saw that he did not show any hostility, so he knew that this Qin Shaojun was not an enemy, so he politely beckoned Qin Shaojun to sit down.

He originally intended to ask someone to adjust the position of the desk, but he didn't expect Qin Shaojun to sit directly on Zhao Hongrun's right side without care, and said indifferently: "Don't bother, just sit here." ”

Can......

Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, looked at Qin Shaojun and then at Zhao Hongrun, and really wondered in his heart: The relationship between this Qin Shaojun and his eighth brother Zhao Hongrun is so good that they can sit on the same case?

You know, not all relationships can sit at the same table, unless they are relatives, close friends, husband and wife, etc.

But Zhao Hongjiang watched the relationship between Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a close friend.

What's more important is that the same table is divided into primary and secondary, with the left as the respect and the right as the secondary, Qin Shaojun, as the young monarch of the Qin State, if he sits on the right side of his eighth brother Zhao Hongrun, what if it causes misunderstanding among the Qin people? People who don't know still think that he Wei people don't understand etiquette and humiliate Qin Shaojun.

"It's not appropriate......"

Zhao Hongjiang shook his head, and was about to say something, beside him, Princess Yan Sun stared at Qin Shaojun, as if she saw something, secretly pulled her husband's sleeve, and whispered a few words in his ear.

It's a pity that Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, didn't comprehend his beloved wife's reminder, frowned and said, "What is called other people's affairs, don't you care?" You woman, you don't know much! ”

Who is less knowledgeable?

For her husband's sluggishness, Princess Yan Sun was ashamed and angry, so she had to whisper something in her husband's ear.

I don't know what I heard, Yan King Zhao Hongjiang suddenly showed a frightened and inexplicable look, and stared at Qin Shaojun with wide eyes, which made Qin Shaojun feel quite uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Princess Yan Sun discovered her husband's rude behavior and reminded the latter in time.

"Ahem."

Since he had learned some speculations from his beloved wife, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, was no longer entangled in the problem of sitting at the table, and after coughing, he took the initiative to relieve the siege and said: "Dare to ask Shaojun, your country and my Great Wei, have you already resolved the conflict?" ”

"Yes." Qin Shaojun, who blushed slightly, nodded and explained: "Under the facilitation of Lord Du You, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of your country, my Great Qin has concluded an alliance with your country, and this time, my Great Qin sent 200,000 troops to assist your country in repelling the attacks of Han and Chu. …… If the war situation in your country continues to be unfavorable, as long as there is enough food and grass, my Great Qin will continue to increase troops to aid your country! ”

"Really?!"

Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, he knew that he was not good at politics and diplomacy, so he didn't bother to ask about the alliance, and was just happy for the support of the 200,000 Qin army, after all, this was really a very powerful force, and it might be able to reverse the current unfavorable war in his Wei state.

Not to mention, Qin Shaojun also said that as long as there is enough food, Qin will also increase its support for Wei.

This is simply a relief in the snow for the Wei State, which is currently walking on thin ice.

Thinking of this, he said to Zhao Hongrun solemnly: "Hongrun, your reinforcements are very timely, if it takes a few days, or the Han army will cross the river to attack Liang County......

Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, frowned and asked, "...... the king of Nanliang?"

As if he had guessed Zhao Hongrun's thoughts, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, shook his head and said helplessly: "The rebel army under the command of the king of Nanliang has withdrawn to the area of Yuanyang and Nanyan, according to the news, the private army formed by Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, and others has joined forces, and Hanoi, except for my Shanyang army, has been the rest of our Great Wei army......"

As he spoke, he told Zhao Hongrun about the recent situation of the Hanoi battlefield, only to hear Zhao Hongrun frowning frequently.

Hearing the story of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, Zhao Hongrun realized that on the battlefield of Hanoi, in fact, his Wei army had already collapsed on all fronts, and at present, the Han army was planning to cross the river to attack Liang County of Wei.

That's not right, what about General Jiang Contempt's Northern Second Army? …… Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, what is his idea?

Zhao Hongrun couldn't understand.
