"Your Highness, King Qi invites Your Highness to go to the main army commander's tent to discuss matters. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the evening of the same day, Wei Jiao, the chief of the Zongwei guard, received an invitation from Lu Xi, the king of Qi, inviting Zhao Hongrun to the marshal tent of the main army camp to discuss the next battle.

After Zhao Hongrun heard about this, he came to the residence of Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng army.

He wanted to invite the general to attend with him, but he didn't expect to wait for him to say what he wanted in the future, but Xu Yin waved his hand again and again and politely refused.

"When Xu was in China, he hated sitting at the same banquet with court officials and politicians, let alone being a foreigner?"

Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized: it turned out that Xu Yin was extremely prejudiced against politicians.

But if you think about it carefully, whether it is Xu Yin or Sima An, almost all of the generals of the six battalions of the garrison who sit in the four directions of the Wei State do not deal with the court officials.

After understanding this matter, Zhao Hongrun simply stopped asking, after all, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, was the only one who invited him, and he was the one who cared about Xu Yin's face, so he came to invite, and now since Xu Yin doesn't like to participate in this kind of thing, then he will go to the meeting alone.

Of course, it is said that he went to the meeting alone, but with Zhao Hongrun's current status, how could he really go alone?

He picked three generals to accompany him.

They are Cai Baohu, the general of the Xiwei Battalion of the Fencheng Army, Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling Army, and Wu Ji, the chief general of the Shangshui Army.

Coupled with Wei Jiao and other cadres, a total of nine people, rode to the camp of King Lu Xi of Qi.

When Zhao Hongrun and his entourage rode horses to the camp of King Lu Xi of Qi, the sky had already darkened, and they only saw that the lights were bright in the distance, stretching for more than ten miles.

This formation is no less than the 500,000 army at the end of the item.

However, this is not surprising, after all, the army of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, has nearly 300,000 troops from the alliance of Qi and Lu, not including the civilian servants who are responsible for logistics and transportation.

Anyway, Zhao Hongrun was quite envious.

Because until now, he had never really led such a large army.

It's not for other reasons, it's just because Wei can't afford the corresponding military salaries, grain and grass.

At the beginning, Zhao Hongrun took the Shangshui Army and the Dangshan Army to fight Sanchuan, and a battle wiped out the civil tax money of the Wei State for nearly two years.

Because it is not only the consumption of military salaries and military food and grass, but also the cost of encouraging soldiers when the war situation is unfavorable, as well as the post-war pension, and so on.

In this year, being a soldier is indeed a high-paying and high-risk profession.

For example, the Shang Shui Army, when they first arrived in the Wei State, the poor and white Shang Shui soldiers all had fields, houses and savings nearby, where did the money come from? In the final analysis, it is not allocated from the treasury of Wei.

Of course, except for the State of Chu, in this country where human life is not valuable, bereavement is simply rare.

"If the wealth of Qi is transferred to my Great Wei, tsk......"

Speaking whimsical words, Zhao Hongrun came to the military camp on the north bank of the Hu River of the Qi army.

Coincidentally, as soon as Zhao Hongrun arrived near the camp gate, he saw that in the other direction, Tian Tan, the commander of the Qi army on the East Road, also led several generals to come.

Seeing Tian Tan, Cai Baohu, Yan Mo, and Wu Ji, who were still talking and laughing, suddenly pulled down their faces, and there was a hint of smugness in their eyes.

It's no wonder that after all, in the battle in Suxian, their Wei army snatched the exploits of Kecheng from the hands of the Qi army on the East Road.

What the? Vile?

The three generals scoffed at this: That is the more far-sighted plan of His Royal Highness King Su, the commander of our army!

At this time, Tian Tan's party only took a few breaths to come to Zhao Hongrun's side.

Glancing at the more or less hostile eyes of the three generals and several Zong Wei behind Zhao Hongrun, Tian Tan secretly shook his head and chose to turn a blind eye.

I saw him riding a horse to Zhao Hongrun's side, marching hand in hand with him, and teasing: "How about being expelled by Xiang Mo's 500,000 troops?" ”

Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said angrily: "You still dare to say? …… Why didn't he go to you? ”

"Because he thinks you're more of a threat than Tian." Tian Tan revealed the truth with one word.

However, Zhao Hongrun didn't react for a while, and said with a strange expression: "Are you joking, Tian Shuai?" …… In the mind of a Chu general, the threat of this king is actually even more than that of your Tian Shuai? ”

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun mistakenly thought that he was mocking him, Tian Tan shook his head and reminded: "So far in this battle, how many Chu soldiers have you recruited and how many Chu people have been swept away?" Do you really think you can't see it? …… Although Tian killed a lot of Chu people, every time Tian killed someone, it would only weaken the Chu State by one point, but it would not make my Great Qi stronger. And like your previous actions, you are stealing the power of the Chu State, weakening the Chu State while making the Wei State stronger. …… So now do you think, you or Tian, who is the greater threat to the Chu State? ”

"......" was woken up by Tian Tan's words, and Zhao Hongrun realized the reason why he was targeted by Xiang Mo before.

He originally thought that his small actions would not attract the attention of the Chu State, but he did not expect to be targeted by a general of the Chu State so soon.

"Be careful, don't die. …… At the end of the item, it is difficult to deal with. Tian Tan reminded lightly.

Saying this, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun.

If his expectations were correct, during this battle, Xiang Mo would most likely concentrate his forces on the Wei army and the Wei Gonggongrun next to him.

And Zhao Hongrun obviously guessed this, exhaled solemnly, and then changed the topic with a smile: "I really can't imagine that you will kindly remind this king?" ”

Tian Tan turned his head and looked Zhao Hongrun up and down a few times, and said lightly: "Tian just thinks that it is more beneficial for me to be alive and healthy." …… That's all. ”

With that, he shook the reins and went on his own.

To this guy...... It's really hard to have a good feeling.

Zhao Hongrun shook his head and sped up to catch up.

A moment later, under the guidance of Qi Bing, they came to the commander's tent in the army.

From afar, Zhao Hongrun smelled the smell of incense coming from the tent in front of him, which was mixed with the fragrance of wine, and it was not difficult to guess that Lu Xi, the king of Qi, had already prepared a banquet to celebrate the merits of the Wei army on the west road and the Qi army on the east road.

Because without these two partial divisions, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, may not be able to overcome the Fu Lisai where Xiang Mo is in charge.

Not?

Suddenly, Zhao Hongrun's face changed slightly, because he saw that Lu Xi, the king of Qi, actually led a group of ministers of Qi and Lu to wait outside the handsome tent.

Just when Zhao Hongrun was secretly suspicious, he saw Lu Xi, the king of Qi, walking towards him laughing, and said with a smile: "The two heroes of the widow are here!" ”

Although he felt a little inappropriate for the title of the hero of the Qi King Lu Xi, Zhao Hongrun still gave the Qi king the respect he deserved, only to see him turn over and dismount like Tian Tan, come to the front of the Qi King Lu Xi, and make a military salute.

Because in this coalition army, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, is the commander, and he, Zhao Hongrun, like Tian Tan, is a deputy general, and he is also the commander of the division, so there is no problem with returning the salute with a military salute.

"Yes, yes!" Looking at Zhao Hongrun and Tian Tan, Qi King Lu Xi said gently: "The two deputy generals of the widow have worked hard recently, and the widow has prepared wine in the tent to celebrate the achievements of the two. ”

As he spoke, he took Zhao Hongrun and Tian Tan's hands one by one, and personally introduced the two into the tent.

I have to say that even Zhao Hongrun was a little flattered by this courtesy.

At this moment, he couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart: It is said that Lu Xi, the king of Qi, is moody and perverse, isn't it quite normal?

It can only be said that just as Zhao Hongrun has almost never seen the tyrannical and ruthless side of his father Wei Tianzi Ji Yuanxi, he also doesn't know the other side of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, which is definitely the most difficult to figure out the heart of a king in the history of Qi State.

During this period, Zhao Hongrun also saw his sixth brother Ji Zhao, the two brothers glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and said hello.

When he came to the tent, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, invited everyone to sit at the table.

He and the lord of Lu naturally sat on the main seat, and as for the ministers of Qi and Lu, they also came to the left and right sides to sit on the table.

As for Zhao Hongrun and Tian Tan, their positions are a little special - their tables are placed diagonally under the main seat, facing the seats on both sides of the tent.

Yo, the treatment of the East Palace......

Zhao Hongrun was secretly happy in his heart, because the position he was sitting in, in their Wei State, only the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, had this qualification.

He had never sat in this position before.

"Everyone!" Qi King Lu Xi waved his hand to suppress the words, then raised the wine cup, and said with a red face: "This time, the widow seized the Fuli Fortress at such a small price and advanced the army front to the Hun River, Wei Gongzirun and Tian Aiqing have made great contributions!" …… Ladies and gentlemen, join the widow in a glass to these two heroes. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the tent toasted Zhao Hongrun and Tian Tan, Rao is Zhao Hongrun usually doesn't like this kind of hypocrisy, but he has to admit: Qi King Lu Xi is really good at being a man.

And just when Zhao Hongrun secretly sighed that the trip was worthwhile and was about to feast, Tian Xuan, the right minister of Qi State, held a wine cup and saluted Zhao Hongrun again, and said with a smile: "Ji Run's son's this time is really a great feat, and Tian Mou is allowed to pay tribute to his son." …… Having said that, there is one thing Tian has always had doubts, I wonder if Gongzi can solve Tian's doubts? ”

“……”

Zhao Hongrun glanced at his Sixth Emperor Brother Ji Zhao, and saw that his face was expressionless, and he had some understanding in his heart, so he said lightly: "Lord Right Minister, please speak." ”

I saw a trace of resentment flash in Tian Xuan's eyes, and said in a normal tone: "As far as Tian knows, almost all of the Wei soldiers under the command of Prince Ji Run are Chu people from Chu State, could it be that Wei people are not as good as Chu people?" ”

As he spoke, he saw Zhao Hongrun's lips move slightly, and immediately raised his hand and said, "Don't mind Ji Run, Tian is just asking casually." ”

Hearing this, everyone in the tent suddenly quieted down, and looked at Tian Yu or Zhao Hongrun with different expressions.

Finding faults? At this time? Does this guy have a problem with his brain?

Zhao Hongrun snorted lightly, and then asked Tian Kun rhetorically: "Then dare to ask Lord Right Xiang, it is clear that there are many men in Qi Kingdom, but why did His Majesty King Qi recruit my brother Wang as his son-in-law?" Could it be that the Qi people are not as good as the Wei people? ”

Everyone in the tent was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and Tian Yu was speechless.

At this time, I saw Zhao Hongrun looking Tian Xuan up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "Of course, this king will not generalize like a certain idiot...... Although a certain fool was taken away from the position of left minister by my brother Wang, although it is said that the woman admired by the son of a certain fool became my sixth sister-in-law, but all in all, this king still has respect for the Qi country, of course, including you, the right minister of the Qi country! ”

There was silence for a moment, and then a snicker.

At this time, Ji Zhao, the left minister of Qi State, glanced at Tian Xuan's pig-liver-like face and shook his head secretly.

It's not good to pick anyone, but to pick Hongrun...... It's a shame. (To be continued.) )
