"It's a pity ......"

When the letter returned to Wei Tianzi's hands again, Wei Tianzi sighed faintly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He did not have a direct conflict with Lu Xi, the king of Qi, even if he and Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, attacked and destroyed the Song State more than ten years ago, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, did not make a fierce counterattack because he focused on the overall situation, but only sent an envoy to denounce it, which was not painful.

As the so-called heroes sympathize with each other, although Wei Tianzi is not cheeky and calls himself the king of Ming, he has always had great respect for Lu Xi, the king of Qi, after all, this king of Qi is the only monarch in the history of Qi who suppressed Chu and balanced Korea from beginning to end.

Suddenly, when he heard that the death of King Lu Xi of Qi was about to come, Wei Tianzi also felt a kind of sadness like the death of a rabbit and a fox in his heart.

You must know that even Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, who has been suppressed by Lu Xi, the king of Qi, for half his life, also has an inexplicable sadness after learning about this incident, maybe this is the so-called opponent is difficult to find.

The monarch of a country at their level will not casually regard anyone as an opponent, so there are only a few people in the whole world who can be an opponent.

The death of one means that there will always be one less respectable opponent.

"I'll leave this matter to you, Hongrun. …… Before you set out, come back and I will hand you the Tiger Talisman of the Dangshan Army. ”

Wei Tianzi's mood seemed to be a little inexplicably lost.

"Yes, the retainers are retired."

Zhao Hongrun retreated in recognition of each other.

Returning to King Su's Mansion from the palace, Zhao Hongrun called Zongwei Mu Qing to the post house in the city and informed Tian Yu, the envoy of Qi State.

Maybe a few days ago, Zhao Hongrun was reluctant to send troops to assist the Qi State in its crusade against the Chu State, because in the Chu State, he had already planted the unstable factor of Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, and he was sure to let the Chu State fall into civil strife and have no time to take care of the Wei State.

But as the so-called plan is not as good as change, the generous price given by Lu Xi, the king of Qi, made Zhao Hongrun unable to refuse.

Whether it is to let the sixth brother Zhao Hongzhao take power in the Qi State and become a great minister, or for the "Lu Gong Secret Record", Zhao Hongrun must send troops to assist the Qi State in the crusade against the Chu State.

It is a sincere and unadulterated dispatch!

Since you want to send troops, since you want to offend the Chu State, then simply take the destruction of the Chu State as the fundamental purpose.

As for the private agreement with Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, Zhao Hongrun can't take care of it at the moment.

To put it mildly, it can also be understood as being unilaterally torn up by him.

After all, this is not a private matter, but a matter related to the interests of the entire Wei State, not to mention that Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, is only Mi Jiang's cousin, even if he is his own brother, Zhao Hongrun will make such a decision.

The supremacy of national interests is the obligation and duty of Zhao Hongrun as a Wei person and a prince of Wei.

“…… 20,000 Yanling troops, 20,000 merchant and naval troops, and 12,500 Dangshan troops. These three armies, led by the king himself, rushed to Jiangdong to fight the combined forces of your country and Lu country. …… In addition, the king will also mobilize 30,000 cavalry from the north of Sichuan from Sanchuan according to the situation to attack western Chu. ”

When Qi envoy Tian Yu came to the hall of King Su's mansion, Zhao Hongrun told the former the details of his preparation to send troops without saying a word, and the former was slightly distracted when he heard it.

50,000 ...... No, eighty thousand!

Wei actually sent 80,000 troops?!

Qi envoy Tian Yu couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

Because from the eyes of the King of Wei Su in front of him, he seemed to see the same determination as their Qi King Lu Xi: to destroy the Chu State!

This determination made Tian Yu, the envoy of Qi who was still doubting whether the Wei State would drag them down from the Qi State a while ago, now has another conjecture: If I drag the back of this King of Su with Great Qi, the consequences may be unimaginable, right?

Thinking of this, Qi made Tian Yu smile unnaturally, swallowed his saliva and complimented: "King Su is well aware of righteousness, and he is ...... below."

As soon as he said this, he saw Zhao Hongrun raise his hand to interrupt his words, and Zhengse said: "Needless to say, those are useless, this king only asks one word." …… Lu Xi, how long can you live? ”

If someone else had asked like this, I am afraid that Qi envoy Tian Yu would have jumped up and scolded a long time ago, but in the face of the King of Wei Guosu in front of him, who had the same determination as their Qi King Lu Xi, Qi envoy Tian Yu did not mean to be angry in his heart, but regarded it as an extremely critical issue very rationally.

"The imperial physician of the imperial court...... It can probably last until the middle of the next year. Qi envoy Tian Yu licked his lips and whispered.

"A year?" Zhao Hongrun exhaled lightly when he heard this, nodded and said, "One year, it's enough!" ”

After that, he stood up and said to Qi envoy Tian Yu: "You return to your country, and tell the king of Qi, I, Great Wei, will send troops this month!" ”

Qi made Tian Yu's expression perk, bowed his hand, and went back happily.

Having said that, although Zhao Hongrun said it so decisively, in fact, he was also a little apprehensive in his heart.

Because he also told Shen Shufei a few days ago that he would stay in Daliang until the end of the month, and accompany Shen Shufei more during this period.

Sure enough, in the evening of the same day, when Zhao Hongrun cautiously mentioned this matter when he was having dinner with Concubine Shen Shufei and his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan in Ningxiang Palace, Concubine Shen's eyes really showed a look of disappointment.

But this woman who understands righteousness naturally will not stop her son from doing great things, and immediately put away her disappointed expression, and just told Zhao Hongrun to be careful when he is outside, everything is based on safety or something.

Zhao Hongrun felt strange and uncomfortable in his heart: Although Concubine Shen Shufei was not his biological mother, she treated him since she was a child, and she was no different from her own mother. And he couldn't even spend more time with this mother......

At this time, Zhao Hongxuan seemed to see his brother's emotions, swore to pat his chest, and promised with a smile: "Brother, you can go with confidence, I will take care of my mother." ”

"Can you talk?" Zhao Hongrun glared at his younger brother angrily.

After another day, Zhao Hongrun came to the Vertical Arch Hall again, bid farewell to Wei Tianzi, and asked for the military talisman of the Dangshan Army by the way.

After all, the Yanling army and the Shangshui army are all Chu people, although Zhao Hongrun can use his prestige and the righteous and awe-inspiring slogan of liberating the civilians who are persecuted by the nobles in Chu to lead these two armies to crusade against the Xiong nobles in eastern Chu, but more or less, Zhao Hongrun is still on guard in his heart.

Although he knew very well that the class contradiction between the commoners and the nobles in the Chu State was extremely acute, such as the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army, which were overwhelmingly civilian-born troops, even if they were all born in the Chu State, they did not have the slightest good impression of the Xiong nobles in Chu Dong, and even wanted to kill the nobles who had oppressed their commoners in the past.

However, unexpectedly, Zhao Hongrun saw a person with a special identity in the Vertical Arch Hall today.

General of the Fencheng Frontier Army, Xu Yin!

And just when Zhao Hongrun looked at the general who came for some reason suspiciously, Wei Tianzi opened his mouth to reveal the secret.

"Hongrun, Xu Yin took the initiative to invite Ying, I hope to go with you, what do you think?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Xu Yin bow to Zhao Hongrun and salute with his fists, and said respectfully: "Please allow His Royal Highness King Su to allow Xu and his Fen army to participate in this battle......

……

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but hesitate.

You must know that in terms of the combat effectiveness of the army, Zhao Hongrun naturally hopes that the Dangshan Army will come to help him, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Dangshan Army in the mountains and forests is simply outrageous. The Pengyue area in eastern Chudong is mostly the kind of hilly and mountainous terrain, which is the most ideal battlefield for the Dangshan Army.

It's a pity that he can't say it.

First, when he decided to counterattack the state of Chu two years ago, Xu Yin responded to his call. And after that, he also had a good relationship with Xu Yin, the general.

Second, this general has a deep blood feud with the Chu State, and he wants to take the initiative to ask for help this time, most likely to take revenge on the Chu State in the name of justice.

But the question is, with this general who hates the Chu people, will nothing really happen?

You must know that the army that Zhao Hongrun is going to bring to Jiangdong this time, the Yanling army and the Shangshui army are all from Chu.

Last time it was Sima An, and this time it was Xu Yin...... How do I get into such a tricky thing all the time?

Zhao Hongrun's face couldn't help wrinkling, and the look of embarrassment was clear at a glance.

However, I have to say that Xu Yin is more familiar than the unruly Sima An, and seeing Zhao Hongrun's embarrassed face, he immediately promised: "Your Royal Highness King Su must not misunderstand, official and private affairs, a certain general has a clear distinction in his heart." This time, I just want to contribute to the country, and I have no intention of taking the opportunity to take revenge on the Chu people...... If Your Highness doesn't believe it, Xu is willing to make a military order in front of His Majesty, if Xu disobeys His Highness's order in the future, Your Highness, please behead me, Xu Yin will never complain! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun looked at Wei Tianzi and then at Xu Yin, pondered for a while, and suddenly understood in his heart.

Come to think of it, it was the rumor that was unfavorable to the general at the beginning of last year that caused the general's reputation to plummet, so that he was recalled by the imperial court to Daliang, and the Junshui Army took over the defense of Fenchengsai.

After that, Xu Yin and the Fencheng army practiced every day in the camp of the Junshui army outside the Great Liang, although they gradually faded out of the discussion of the government and the opposition, but there was no opportunity to transfer back to Fenchengsai.

If he followed Zhao Hongrun to Jiangdong this time and established great feats, the people who wanted to come to China would no longer doubt the general's loyalty to Wei, so that Xu Yin would also be able to transfer back to Fenchengsai.

After all, Xu Yin is a general who has been stationed in the border for a long time, and he is used to fighting and killing with the Chu army in the past, and now he has been transferred to the peaceful royal capital of Daliang, how can he endure loneliness?

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun nodded.

"Good! …… Since General Xu has talked about this, if this king refuses again, it will be the king's fault. Saying that, Zhao Hongrun took two steps back, bowed his hand, and said, "General Xu, please help this king!" ”

"How dare you."

Xu Yin hurriedly picked up Zhao Hongrun, while not forgetting to give the latter a grateful look, grateful that the latter could give him the opportunity to salvage his reputation, even though he thought he had never done anything unfavorable to the Wei state.

I have to say that as long as Zhao Hongrun makes a decision, he will act very quickly.

No, two days later, the Fencheng army stationed in the Junshui camp set off for the border of Qichu under the leadership of Xu Yin.

In order to shorten the time to travel, Zhao Hongrun once again requisitioned the transport ship of the household department and carried 15,000 Fencheng troops to Shangshui County.

If he could, Zhao Hongrun wanted to arrive in Jiangdong by boat in one go, but unfortunately, Pingyujun Xiong Hu had already dispatched Chen County's warships to block the river.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun could only let the army land in Shangshui County, and then join up with the Yanling army and the Shangshui army, directly to the east across Song County, across the Lu State, to Jiangdong to join the Qilu coalition army.

During this period, Zhao Hong heard that Xiong Tuo and Xiong Hu had deployed heavy troops on the Wei-Chu border, such as Pingyu County and other places.

Also, no one is a fool, although Zhao Hongrun, Xiong Tuo, and Xiong Hu have an ulterior agreement in private, but this does not mean that they are really concerned about each other and have no precautions.

This has nothing to do with their personal relationship, nor does it have anything to do with their private agreement, this is a war at the level of a country, and it is by no means a child's play.

After all, there have always been national wars, and those who have lost the country are slaves!
