That night, Zhao Hongrun was rarely drunk to a great degree, although he has always boasted that the amount of alcohol is not shallow and the alcohol content of contemporary drinks is low, but he can't stand the frequent pouring of wine by the four emperor brothers Yan Wang Zhao Hongjiang, so that Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongjiang finally got drunk on the spot after drinking more than a dozen jars of wine, and Zhao Hongxuan and the guards of the three princes were surprised. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It seems that His Royal Highness King Su, who can't be picked up on his shoulders and can't be lifted in his hands, can actually share the amount of wine with Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan? I believe that this incident has surprised many Zongwei.

After waking up the next day, when Zhao Hongrun cried out in a daze, someone next to him handed the tea bowl to his mouth.

Zhao Hongrun reluctantly opened his eyes and took a few looks, only to find that it was his own Zongwei Changwei Jiao.

"Your Highness, how are you feeling?"

When he asked this, it could be seen that Wei Jiao was holding back a smile, because it was the first time he had seen his Royal Highness drinking until he was drunk and unconscious.

"It's okay, but my head is still a little dizzy." took the tea bowl and drank all the water in the bowl, Zhao Hongrun held his forehead and said weakly.

Wei Jiao grinned when he heard this.

The taste of a hangover, they know it all too well.

Giving a thumbs up, Wei Jiao chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you were so brave last night. …… You don't know, at the end of last night, Cao Yan and those people were all straight-eyed. ”

The Cao Yan in his mouth is the head of the Zongwei of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and Zhao Hongrun met with him last night, and he feels that he is a Zongwei with a more stable character.

"Oh." Zhao Hongrun responded casually and reluctantly got off the bed.

Due to the hangover, he only felt top-heavy at the moment, as if the heavens and the earth were weightless, and he lost his sense of balance, to be honest, Zhao Hongrun didn't like this feeling.

Walking out of the house where he lived last night, Zhao Hongrun looked around a few times, only to find that he was in a larger mansion.

He could vaguely remember the events of last night, and learned that this mansion was the mansion of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, in Shanyang, the mansion of the king of Yan.

But to be honest, this mansion is not as good as the Yan Wang Mansion of Zhao Hongjiang in Daliang, it seems that the area of the mansion is not small, but the decoration and furnishings in the interior are not at the same level as the Yan Wangfu in Daliang.

"Your Highness is awake?"

Outside the house, Zhou Pu and Chu Heng were sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, and when they saw Zhao Hongrun walking out of the house, they immediately stood up.

Zhao Hongrun counted the number of people and found that the number of people was not right, because Lu Mu, Gao Kuo, Chongzhao, Mu Qing, He Miao, Zhu Gui and others were not in the courtyard.

However, after reminiscing, he understood the reason why those Zongwei were not here - they were drowning down by Zongwei Cao Yan and others of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, last night.

Of course, Cao Yan and others also paid the price for this, at least Zhao Hongrun vaguely remembered that at least five Zongwei of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, were drunk on the spot.

"Is Xiao Xuan up?" Coming to the stone table and sitting for a while, Zhao Hongrun asked.

Zhou Pu told Zhao Hongrun that in fact, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, had already come to visit his brother, but Zhao Hongrun was still asleep at that time, so Zhao Hongxuan took Zhou Yu to the front yard for breakfast.

After that, Zhao Hongrun asked Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and Zhou Pu said with a smile: "I guessed that His Royal Highness would definitely ask when he woke up, so I went to visit and learned that His Royal Highness King Yan was still resting." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head with a wry smile.

Obviously, the amount of alcohol that Fourth Emperor Brother drank was better than him, and after he finished pouring it last night, he went to pour his sect guards, which was completely at least three of them.

"Could it be that people with heroic personalities are born to drink well?"

Zhao Hongrun was a little puzzled, he only knew that last night's fight with the group of people from Yan King Zhao Hongjiang was obviously lost by their side, and he and Zhao Hongxuan brothers and the brothers' guards joined forces to pour wine on the people on Yan Wang's side, but in the end they didn't win.

Of course, there is also a reason why Wei Jiao didn't drink much last night, after all, Wei Jiao is the head of the sect and needs to be vigilant at all times.

Zhao Hongrun secretly made up his mind, and in the future, he would make up a distilled high-concentration millet liquor, and he would definitely drink it again with Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, to redeem this defeat.

For Zhao Hongjiang, the fourth emperor brother of Yanwang, Zhao Hongrun is still very willing to make friends.

Of course, this is talking about Zhao Hongjiang today, not Zhao Hongjiang four or five years ago.

In Zhao Hongrun's impression, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, was not a master of dissipation when he was in Daliang, and he always made trouble from time to time, such as the son of a central official he beat today, and the nephew of a central official tomorrow, anyway, as long as Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, meets someone who makes him feel unhappy, no matter what kind of family background the other party is, he will beat it first.

It is precisely because of such a character that Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, was extremely unhappy with Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, from the beginning, after all, Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, would always pose as an eldest brother from time to time, and even Zhao Hongrun was not happy to see it, what was the fact that Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, who was originally upright and reckless.

According to Zhao Hongrun's understanding, he, the fourth emperor brother Zhao Hongjiang, Yanwang Zhao, is a man with a bit of heroic bearing, to put it bluntly, if you are better than him, he will obey you, otherwise, I'm sorry, no matter what family background you are, you are a piece of in his eyes.

It is precisely for this reason that when Zhao Hongrun was still living in the Daliang Palace, he always walked around when he saw Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, from a distance, because at that time in his eyes, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, was a very reckless man, and he did not dare to provoke at will, so as not to be beaten.

Perhaps today, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, is nicknamed "the first tyrant of the Great Liang", and the government and the opposition dare not provoke it, but if it is pushed forward for a few more years, this title will definitely fall on Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan.

However, five years ago, that is, in the sixteenth year of Hongde, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, made a huge change, when he sent an army from Chu to attack Wei, he gave up fighting for the throne, and finally came to Shanyang County after several tosses, and began to train the Shanyang army, guarding against the threat from northern Korea, and relieved Zhao Hongrun, who was the first to go to Chu at that time.

In all fairness, among his peers, Zhao Hongrun admires two people, one of whom is the sixth brother Ji Zhao (Zhao Hongzhao), who is now the left minister of Qi, and the other is the owner of this mansion, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, has hardly returned to Daliang several times in the past five years, putting all his thoughts on Shanyang's side, and even gradually putting his name in the hearts of many Han generals - "Wei Gongzijiang of Shanyang", referring to Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan.

Speaking of Shanyang, this county town is really the forefront of the battlefield in the northern frontier of Wei, and has been repeatedly attacked by the Korean army, because only by taking this city, the Han army at Mengmen Pass can rest assured that the Han army will attack Hedong County of Wei, otherwise, they are likely to be cut off by the Shanyang army.

In this matter, the Han army has already suffered losses - I remember that in the first Northern Xinjiang Campaign, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, united with Wei Mu, the general of Southern Yan, and attacked the Han army that came out of Mengmen Pass before and after, so that the two Han generals "Gong Zhongpeng and Tian Ling" suffered defeat.

Therefore, since then, Gong Zhongpeng and Tian Ling have repeatedly attacked Shanyang, forcing Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, to lift the weapons control in Shanyang County, and adopt the tactics of all the soldiers, and finally desperately blocked the Korean army's attacks again and again.

In terms of merit, Zhao Hongrun felt that this four emperor brothers could be called hard work, because whether it was Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, or Jiang Contempt, they all belonged to the end of the first Northern Xinjiang campaign before joining the campaign, and before that, it was Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, who single-handedly attracted the firepower of South Korea, and at the same time attracted the Korean army in Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass at that time, which was completely a difficult situation of walking on thin ice.

Of course, in this matter, Wei Mu, the general of Southern Yan, also made great contributions, and it was precisely because of this general's support of the Shanyang army several times that Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, could hold Shanyang from being broken by the Han army, otherwise, it is very likely that the Wei State has lost the strategic place of Shanyang.

On the way to the front yard, Zhao Hongrun passed by a rather empty open space in the mansion, where Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, was naked, practicing martial arts in the open space that seemed to be a martial arts arena, stabbing, picking, wheeling, splitting, brandishing a spear, and dancing the spear like a swimming dragon.

"Didn't you say that the Fourth Emperor Brother hadn't gotten up yet?"

Zhao Hongrun looked back at Zongwei Zhou Pu with some confusion, after all, Zhou Pu said that Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, was still asleep.

Noticing the meaning of inquiry in His Royal Highness's eyes, Zhou Pu was also at a loss, after all, he did listen to Cao Yan, the head of the sect guard of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan.

With a feeling of wonder, Zhao Hongrun walked over.

Zhao Hongjiang, who was practicing martial arts in the venue, obviously noticed Zhao Hongrun and the others, put away the gun and spat out, and then threw the spear in his hand to Cao Yan, the head of the sect guard who was facing him, and walked over to Zhao Hongrun with a smile: "Hongrun, got up so early?" It seems that Brother didn't pour enough of you yesterday, hahahaha. ”

Zhao Hongrun responded with a wry smile, and when his eyes fell on Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, a little shock appeared in his eyes.

Because he found that the scars on Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, were everywhere, and those scars were like ugly worms, crawling all over the former's body.

At that moment, Zhao Hongrun was speechless.

He didn't know the origin of the injuries on the Fourth Emperor Brother's body, but he could guess that these scars must have been left on the battlefield on Shanyang's side, otherwise, how could a dignified prince with the protection of the Sect Guard suffer such injuries? You must know that so far, he Zhao Hongrun has almost no scars on his body.

Seeing Zhao Hongrun's gaze fall on his naked upper body, Yan King Zhao Hongjiang was stunned for a moment, and then after he came to his senses, he put on the robe handed by Cao Yan, the head of his sect guard, and covered up the scars on his body.

"When did Hongyun get up?" Zhao Hongjiang asked with a smile.

"I just got up. …… What about the Four Emperor Brothers? Zhao Hongrun glanced at Cao Yan, the head of the sect guard beside Zhao Hongjiang, and said, "Just now, the head of the sect Cao said to Zhou Pu that the fourth emperor brother is still resting. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongjiang glanced back at Cao Yan with a confused face, but saw an embarrassed expression on Cao Yan's face.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun and Zhou Pu understood: people are considering their face and deliberately saving face for them.

After all, for contemporary men, drinking can't drink others, which is also a relatively shameful thing.

So, Zhao Hongrun nodded kindly at Cao Yan, and changed the topic and asked, "Is it a habit that the Fourth Emperor Brother practiced martial arts early in the morning, and he maintained it when he was in Daliang?" ”

"It only started when we got to Shanyang." Wiping the sweat on his forehead with the sleeve of his robe, Zhao Hongjiang explained to Zhao Hongrun: "Brother Wei will not hide from you, when I arrived in Shanyang at the beginning of the year, Brother Wei couldn't adapt for a long time, and I was always panicked that the Han army would come to attack this city, and I couldn't sleep at night because I was afraid." …… Later, I thought that I couldn't sleep anyway, so I simply got up to practice martial arts, and he would have more protection on the battlefield. ”

Zhao Hongrun knew that what the Fourth Emperor Brother said must be the truth, but he still couldn't help but quip: "The Fourth Emperor Brother will also feel panic and uneasiness? In my opinion, the Four Emperor Brothers are heroes who are not afraid of the sky and the earth. ”

"Hahahaha." Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, laughed after hearing Zhao Hongrun's slightly flattering words, and seemed extremely happy.

After all, Zhao Hongrun is the person he recognizes, and Zhao Hongjiang is naturally happy to hear the approved person say words of compliment and praise to himself.

Subsequently, Zhao Hongjiang invited Zhao Hongrun to the side hall in the front yard for dinner.

During the meal, he discussed with Zhao Hongrun the specific matters of attacking Handan County in South Korea, and it could be seen that His Royal Highness King Yan was extremely enthusiastic about counterattacking South Korea, probably because he had been frequently attacked by the Korean army in Shanyang County, so he was eager to counterattack South Korea.

During this period, Zhao Hongjiang told Zhao Hongrun about some of the situations on the battlefield in Handan, for example, the commander of the Handan Korean army was South Korea's "Dangyin Marquis Hanyang".

Speaking of this Dangyin Marquis Han Yang, Zhao Hongrun once thought that the other party was just an ordinary Korean nobleman, after all, this person had been defeated in the hands of Wei Mu and Shaohu, the two generals of Wei State, but after Zhao Hongjiang's explanation, Zhao Hongrun knew that it turned out that Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, had been suppressing the Nanyan army all along, but Wei Mu worked hard to manage the eastern part of Hedong County, so he was not defeated by Han Yang.

Moreover, it can be seen from the feudal town of Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, which is close to Hedong County of Wei State, that this person is a Korean aristocratic general who was ordered to be stationed at the border of Hedong County of Wei and Han, and the generals who are generally stationed on the border are by no means ordinary people.

According to the judgment of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, the reason why Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, suffered a loss at the hands of Shaohu, the general of Wei, a while ago, may actually be because Han Yang underestimated Shaohu, after all, the people who knew that "Shaohu is the chief of the sect guard next to Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu", even if there are not many people in Wei, let alone in South Korea.

Therefore, in the eyes of many Han generals, Shaohu is unknown, but he didn't expect that this Wei general is completely a fierce tiger as his name.

“…… But since that defeat, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, has one enemy and two enemies, resisting the Southern Yan Army and the Wei Wu Army at the same time, which is really not simple. After a pause, Zhao Hongrun said to Zhao Hongrun with a serious face: "Hongrun, you said that you want to attack Handan, the royal capital of South Korea, and I will definitely support it." But before attacking Handan, you and I must break through "Yecheng", and if you want to break through "Yecheng", you must take "Dangyin". …… In the last Northern Xinjiang Campaign, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, chose to attack Zhongmu, although he successfully attracted a Korean army and finally annihilated it, but among them, there was no fear of Han Yang's Dangyin army. …… Handan is not like the party, once one city is attacked, the Korean army in the rest of the cities will immediately come to the rescue, which is extremely difficult to overcome. Therefore, you and I must be prepared for a long battle. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun thought so.

As the saying goes, the three armies did not move grain and grass first, and Zhao Hongrun, who had already suffered once in the party, made up his mind this time to wait for the front line to stock up on grain and grass before sending troops.

After all, as Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, said, attacking Handan, the royal capital of South Korea, it is not surprising that it will be a protracted battle.
