Chapter 826: Brief Situation of Longxi
Mobilizing the army does not mean that Zhao Hongrun is going to war with the Wei clan in Longxi immediately, this is an attitude and a skill. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's like two groups of people fighting in a group, the side with more people must have a psychological advantage, and the side with fewer people, when they find that they don't have as many people as the other party, may not be stunned before they can fight in their hearts, and admit it, in fact, the two groups of people may not necessarily fight in the end.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Hongrun mobilized 30,000 Yanling troops, 30,000 merchant water troops, and 50,000 northern Sichuan cavalry in order to put on a show, support the scene, and put pressure on the Wei clan in Longxi, lest these people think they are their own family and be unscrupulous in the territory of Wei.
On July 6, the imperial court quickly organized a contingent of envoys, with Zhao Yuanyan, the head of the Zongfu Sect, as the officiating officer, Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Yi, and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, as the deputy envoys, plus a dozen officials of the Ministry of Rites acting as retinues, and slowly went to Ancheng.
As for the escort army, it was five hundred janissaries specially sent by Wei Tianzi.
Of course, this is on the surface, as for secretly, a large number of people and horses of Shangshui Green Crow and Yangxia Black Crow arrived in Daliang as early as a few days ago, and the inner eunuch is also clear in his heart, and he maintains a relationship with these hidden thieves of the Su Wang Department who do not interfere with the river water.
I have to say that this time I went to Ancheng, everyone in the envoy team can be said to be tense, for example, Zhao Yuanyan, who served as the chief envoy, did not speak with a straight face along the way, with a little sadness between his eyebrows.
But there are still a handful of people in the team, as if they are going out to play, as if they are completely unaware of any important mission.
For example, Princess Yulong, who acted as Zhao Hongrun's bodyguard, was talking to Zhao Yuanlian, the sixth prince's uncle, with a smile at the moment, and her expression was a little proud.
"Hehe, Uncle Six, what do you think of me?"
Zhao Yuanling, the sixth uncle, looked at Princess Yulong, who was dressed as a guard, with a smile, and said with a deliberate smile: "My Great Wei is really no one, and I actually asked you to be the guard of His Royal Highness King Su...... Thin and weak, he has no momentum as a guard. ”
Princess Yulong snorted unhappily when she heard this, pointed to another thin and weak guard beside Zhao Hongrun and said, "Sister Mi Jiang is also very thin, but she is very powerful, and ten sixth uncles can't beat one Sister Mi Jiang." ”
"......" Uncle Liuwang turned his head and glanced at Mi Jiang, who was dressed in the same way as Princess Yulong, his lips moved, and he seemed to be a little unconvinced, but he didn't say anything in the end.
After all, Zhao Yuanyan's swordsmanship is still clear, and it is a person who Zhao Hongrun's guards around him may not be able to defeat when they go into battle.
Although Zhao Yuanli firmly believed that ten of them would definitely be able to defeat his cousin and nephew who were more than one round younger than him when he went into battle, but after thinking about it, it was better not to say such embarrassing words, so he wisely remained silent and pretended not to hear.
"Uncle Sixth confessed, hehe."
Princess Yulong raised her hand, gently scraped her cheeks with her fingers, and shamed Zhao Yuanling, beside her, all the sect guards were snickering, but Mu Qing, who was very bold, also smiled and helped Princess Yulong: "I think that ten six princes will definitely be able to defeat Lord Mi Jiang." After that, he also deliberately showed an expression that I am a supporter of the Sixth Prince, which made the sect guards laugh.
"You kid, just like Your Highness, no big or small!" Zhao Yuanyan rolled his eyes angrily, and then, he turned his head and asked Zhao Hongrun: "Hongrun, you brought your nephew and daughter-in-law, the sixth uncle can understand, what are you doing with this girl?" ”
The niece and daughter-in-law in his mouth refers to the ginger.
At present, both Wei Tianzi and Concubine Shen Shu have already admitted that Mi Jiang is their daughter-in-law, if there are no accidents in the future, the title of Princess Su will fall on Mi Jiang nine times out of ten.
After all, Mi Jiang is the eldest daughter of Xiong Hao, Jun of Runan, Chu State, and is the woman whom Xiong Tuo, Jun of Chu Cheng, regards as his own sister.
The only regret is that this woman has no expression all day long, which does not quite fit the image of the future daughter-in-law in the minds of Wei Tianzi and Concubine Shen Shu.
"I can't help it."
Zhao Hongrun spread his hands and said helplessly: "Yulong is very curious about what those members of the Wei family in Longxi look like, soft grinding and hard bubbles, then I have to take her." ”
On the side, Princess Yulong said with a smile when she heard this: "It's better to be Hongrun, unlike Uncle Six, many times he clearly said that he would take me to play, but he left me to Uncle Wang Qi, and he ...... with those indiscriminate women."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Uncle Liuwang interrupted Princess Yulong's words with some shame, and scolded angrily: "You girl, you have no conscience, you still said that Uncle Six is good, better than Hongrun, but now that you have returned to Daliang, you actually treat Uncle Six like this?" ”
When Princess Yulong heard this, she grabbed Zhao Hongrun's arm, and pretended to say disdainfully: "With Hongrun here, why do you want the sixth uncle?" ”
"......" Zhao Yuanli was stunned when he heard this, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.
And Wei Jiao and other sect guards coaxed one after another, praising Princess Yulong for her vision, so angry that Zhao Yuanli glared at Zhao Hongrun with hatred.
"What's the matter with me? Sixth Uncle, you are used to ......"
Zhao Hongrun felt innocent.
Zhao Yuanyan was about to say a few more words, but at this time, a guard hurriedly came here on horseback, clasped his fists and said: "Lord Yi, His Royal Highness King Su, Lord Zongzheng, please don't make any more noise." ”
It's boring......
Zhao Yuanyan, Zhao Hongrun and others stopped joking with a dazed face.
And Princess Yulong was also a little depressed and chatted with Mi Jiang in a whisper.
"Second uncle, isn't it a little too serious?" Zhao Hongrun frowned and said.
"The first day you've met your second uncle?" Zhao Yuanli pursed his lips, and then said lightly: "Forget it, after all, he is right, let's stop a little, after all, it is in the team of envoys, and it is not good after all." ”
Zhao Hongrun nodded noncommittally, and then changed the topic and asked, "Sixth Uncle, what do you think about the Wei clan in Longxi?" ”
"Huh?" Uncle Liuwang was stunned, frowned and said, "What are you asking...... Too vague, what do you want to ask? ”
Zhao Hongrun pointed to himself when he heard this, and said meaningfully: "What I mean in this team, Sixth Uncle, do you understand?" ”
Zhao Yuanli was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I can roughly see it." …… It's okay, Uncle Six, I and those people are also friends with a glass of wine, you don't have to care. ”
Zhao Hongrun understood as soon as he heard it, nodded and said, "I know, by the way, Sixth Uncle, the Son of Heaven in Longxi, have you seen it?" ”
Zhao Yuanyan corrected with a smile when he heard this: "There is no such thing as the Son of Heaven in Longxi, they are called the monarch there, and the people below do not call Your Majesty, but respect the monarch's father...... You must know that most of the people in Longxi have the surname Ji, so even ordinary people respect their father. In addition, on their side, there is no exact word for loyalty, they advocate filial piety, and the first filial piety is the monarch's father, and then their own biological father. ”
"The Land of One Clan?" Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked.
"Yes, the land of one clan." Zhao Yuanli nodded, and then explained: "This is the difference between my Great Wei and the Longxi Wei clan. …… After my Great Wei defeated Liang and Zheng, he did not ban the surnames of the people of these two countries, and chose to tolerate them, so they gradually developed to the people of today, while the Wei clan in Longxi is different, they do not allow the defeated to have surnames, so in Longxi, you will meet many people who have no surname, only one name. ”
Zhao Hongrun frowned again when he heard this, and said, "The gap between the nobles and the commoners is even worse than that of the Chu State. ”
Also, you must know that in the Chu State, even if the status of commoners is low, there will be commoners with surnames, Longxi is good, surnames have become a unique right of nobles.
"After all, it is an ancient clan, and it is not like my Zhao family, after arriving in the Central Plains, I have successively come into contact with the Central Plains culture such as Weiguo, Liang Guo, Zheng Guo, and Cai Guo. …… Don't look at your second uncle's old-fashionedness, in Longxi, there are many people who are more old-fashioned than your second uncle, those people still think that Longxi is the center of the world, and even the sun and moon in the sky have to revolve around Longxi...... If it weren't for that, would they offend Qin? ”
"What is the national strength of Longxi? Can it be compared to Qilu? Zhao Hongrun asked.
Zhao Yuanli thought for a while and said, "It's probably the degree of defending the country." ”
"Huh." Zhao Hongrun shook his head.
Although he didn't mean to look down on the Longxi Wei clan, he still felt that the Longxi Wei clan was a little arrogant.
The degree of patriotism?
Wei Guo is the bottom country in the Central Plains, if it were not for the help of Wei, Wei Guo would have been destroyed by South Korea long ago.
Longxi, which only has this kind of national strength, actually vainly claims that Longxi is the center of heaven and earth? The sun and the moon have to revolve around Longxi?
This is simply the most ridiculous joke in the world.
You must know that in the Central Plains, there are many people who are stronger than the Wei State, regardless of the Qin State in the west, let's just say the Qi State in the east, Korea in the north, and Chu State in the south, which country does not have the strength to crush Longxi in minutes?
Probably sensing Zhao Hongrun's contempt, Zhao Yuanyan shook his head and said: "It's not what you think, the Wei clan in Longxi used to be very powerful, but the monarchs of the past dynasties were not very virtuous, and besides, the nobles in the country are inevitably a little ...... You have been to Chu State, and the situation in Longxi is actually similar. ”
"The old aristocratic forces cover the sky with one hand?"
"That's probably what it means." Zhao Yuanli nodded, then seemed to think of something, and said: "But then again, Longxi also has talents, and several of them are amazing. For example, among people of the same age as your uncle's generation, there is a Lintao Jun Wei Ji. …… The north, northwest and west of Longxi are the residences of the Qiang people on three sides, but this person sits in Lintao, and for more than 20 years, the Qiang people are not allowed to enter, which is quite amazing. ”
"Lintaojun Wei Ji ......" Zhao Hongrun secretly kept this name in his heart.
"In addition, there is also Zhao Sheng, the king of the Zhujun, who is also a member of the Zhao family surnamed Ji, but his ancestors did not go to the Central Plains with my Zhao family, but stayed in Longxi. …… This person has both humanities and martial arts, can speak well, not like Lintao Jun Wei Ji is hot-hearted and cold-faced, unpopular, and very powerful in Longxi. …… There is also a general named Jiang Confucius, who was from a bad background, and his mother was taken into slavery by the Qiang people, and then gave birth to him. Later, he switched to Longxi, starting from a slave soldier, climbing step by step to the commander, and then under the recommendation of Lintao Jun Wei Ji and Zhao Sheng, he became a general. ”
“……”
Zhao Hongrun listened silently and memorized the names of several important people in his heart. (To be continued.) )
