At the same time that Du You lobbied the King of Qin, in the city guard mansion of Fenghao City, Qin Shaojun was sitting in danger, looking at Zhao Hongrun in front of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Five years ago, Qin Shaojun, who was alias Jiang Ying, met Zhao Hongrun, who called himself Zhao Run, for the first time during the hunting in Chenggao, and the two chatted around the bonfire for most of the night, chatting quite tacitly.

Three years ago, Qin Shaojun followed Qin's envoy Ganxu to envoy Wei, because of the position of the two countries, the former friends could not be said to be enemies, but it was not as good as the previous peace.

Before the Battle of Sanchuan in Wei and Qin, Qin Shaojun and Zhao Hongrun met again in a mountain forest on the Huayin Plain, in a sentry post that had long been abandoned by the Qin people.

It's a pity that Qin Shaojun was the commander of the 200,000 Qin army at that time, and Zhao Hongrun was the commander of the 100,000 Wei army, and they were destined to meet on the battlefield.

It wasn't until five years later that the two met again.

He really grew up......

After meeting again, Qin Shaojun looked at Zhao Hongrun, and suddenly felt that the latter was a little strange, and the friend in his memory was like two people.

In Qin Shaojun's memory, his friend Wei Gongzi Ji Run, who was a humorous and funny person with somewhat strange behaviors, was obviously a royal nobleman of the Wei State, but his dream was to be a gentleman and live a life that made Qin Shaojun feel a little ashamed just by listening to the description; And the Wei Gongzi in front of him, with a deep momentum, seems to be a father, as if he has long abandoned his lifelong wish as if he had joked, and has truly become the mainstay of the Wei State.

With years of friendship, Qin Shaojun should be happy for Zhao Hongrun's friend's achievements now, but in his heart, he doesn't like such a huge change in the latter - he prefers Zhao Run, who was open-mouthed and giggling, rather than Wei Gongzirun, who has a gloomy face at the moment.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun looked at the holy decree placed on the table in front of him with a solemn face.

He had confirmed that this was indeed the decree of his father, and just as Qin Shaojun had shouted two battles ago, his father had asked him to stop the current war and make peace with Qin.

"Have you been to the girder?" Zhao Hongrun asked Qin Shaojun.

Qin Shaojun nodded and slowly told Zhao Hongrun about his experience.

It was in late October, when Zhao Hongrun's army used horse-drawn sleighs to get rid of the Marquis of Wuxin in Taolin and attack the Qin mainland for thousands of miles.

At that time, when he learned that he was thrown off by the Wei army, even if it was the grandson of the Marquis of Wuxin, he was also surprised and covered with cold sweat, because he knew very well that Wei Gongzirun's target was the Qin State itself.

At that time, Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi sighed and said: "My Great Qin is in trouble, and it is all my sin. ”

In fact, as far as the situation at that time was concerned, Gongsun Qi, Marquis of Wuxin, also thought about continuing to fight eastward, attacking Yucheng, and then approaching Wei proper, but in the end, he still made the worst choice and returned to his country.

After all, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi is careful and cautious, and he can't make a "gambler-style" choice - to attack each other's royal capital with Wei Gongzirun? Even if Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi had this ability, he didn't have the courage.

Therefore, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi made the most conservative decision.

And at this moment, Qin Shaojun put forward a request to go to the capital of the Wei king, because he had a hunch that there would inevitably be an irreparable tragic war between him Qin and Wei Gonggongrun, but he thought that he could not convince his father King Qin, nor could he convince his friend Wei Gonggongrun, at this time, he needed the intervention of a "third party" with the right to speak - that is, King Wei.

Only Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Wei, had the ability to stop this war.

Therefore, Qin Shaojun proposed his resignation to Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi, and the latter did not stop him, because Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi knew very well that with Wei Gongzirun's strategy and intelligence, if a war broke out between each other in Qin, then his Qin State would inevitably suffer serious losses. At this time, Qin Shaojun traveled thousands of miles to the Great Liang of Wei to persuade the King of Wei to intervene to stop the war, which was not a wise decision.

So, he sent a hundred cavalry to escort Qin Shaojun to Wei.

From Sanchuan to Wei, it is bound to pass through Chenggao Pass, and Zhu Hai, the guard of Chenggao Pass, was also startled when he heard Qin Shaojun's explanation.

Because neither in the strategy of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, nor in the strategy of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, there was no such thing as counterattacking the Qin state, and the task of the Su king Zhao Hongrun was to force the Qin army to withdraw from this war, rather than counterattacking the Qin mainland, so that the battle between Wei and Qin became more and more intense.

Therefore, at Qin Shaojun's plea, the Chenggao guard gave Zhu Hai permission and sent a team of 500 cavalry to let the general Zhou Kui personally escort Qin Shaojun to Daliang.

Because of the escort of the Cheng Gao army, Qin Shaojun successfully arrived at Daliang and asked to meet Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Wei.

Under his words, Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Wei, agreed to Wei and Qin's dismissal of troops and peace, and sent Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to follow Qin Shaojun to envoy to Qin.

Due to the urgency of time, Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Wei, also ordered the household department to allocate a boat to the envoy team, so that Qin Shao and Du You could take a big boat and go up the river in a big boat, which finally enabled Qin Shaojun to arrive at Qin on the eve of the decisive battle of Fenghao City, and stopped the imminent battle of Qin Wei Fenghao at the last moment.

It can be said that in order to stop the battle of Qin and Wei, Qin Shaojun traveled thousands of miles back and forth, and it is no wonder that his face is haggard and his complexion is not good.

……

Zhao Hongrun listened quietly to Qin Shaojun's narration.

He must admit that Qin Shaojun's timely arrival had a huge impact, at least, so that King Qin and him, Zhao Hongrun, who were difficult to ride a tiger, had a temporary reprieve period.

In all fairness, Zhao Hongrun did not want to fight in Qin at all, firstly, the biggest threat to Wei was not Qin, and secondly, Qin was poor and white, and there was no war interest at all.

In fact, the king of Qin did not want to fight the Wei army under Zhao Hongrun, after all, Zhao Hongrun's strategy was very vicious, which fundamentally destroyed the agricultural economy of Qin.

To put it mildly, if this battle is fought until the beginning of spring tomorrow, the Wei army under Zhao Hongrun will certainly not be able to return to the aid of Wei itself, which will make the war situation in Wei more and more erosive, and Qin will also delay the harvest for a year because of missing the spring sowing.

What would it be like for a country that feeds on war to delay a year's harvest?

But unfortunately, King Qin and Zhao Hongrun are both proud and stubborn people, and neither of them is willing to take the lead in bowing their heads, so that the situation between Qin and Wei becomes more and more severe.

And Qin Shaojun also understood this, so he pulled Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Wei, as a "third party", so that King Qin and Zhao Hongrun could get off the donkey down the slope and not continue this war that they were reluctant to fight each other.

"His Majesty the King of Wei has sent Lord Du You to tell me about my father, I want you to ...... Restrain your generals. Looking directly into Zhao Hongrun's eyes, Qin Shaojun said with a straight face.

……

Zhao Hongrun raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrow bone.

To be sure, he didn't have much confidence in the Wei-Qin alliance.

You must know how many people have died in this battle so far? And how many people died in his Wei Fang? At this time an armistice and peace? Or even an alliance?

Of course, Zhao Hongrun would not shout that he would not accept the orders of the foreign monarch, and then order to continue the war with the Qin State, because he did not want to start a war with the Qin State at all.

Reason made him understand that fighting with the Qin State at this time would do a hundred harms to the Wei State and no benefit.

Putting aside the war in Wei for the time being, Zhao Hongrun is not very sure about the war on Qin's side alone.

King Qin is different from Han Wangran's puppet, the former has a very high prestige in Qin, plus Qin is poor, but the Qin people's toughness makes the Wei people feel jealous, therefore, even Zhao Hongrun can't grasp the direction of this war - if it continues to fight, maybe in the end, Qin and the Wei army under his command may really go to the point of dying together.

And this is not in the interests of Wei, because the original strategic intention of Wei is to force Qin back, and then transfer the troops of the Western Wei battlefield to the Hanoi battlefield or the Song battlefield, so if they can make peace with Qin, the two sides can make peace or even form an alliance, which will be greatly beneficial to Wei.

The key is, is there still a basis for mutual harmony between the Qin people and the Wei people?

Yes, Qin Shaojun's timely intervention avoided the final war between the Qin State and the Wei army, so that both the King of Qin and Zhao Hongrun, who were difficult to ride a tiger, could get off the donkey down the slope, but even so, to promote the Qin-Wei alliance, there was still a lack of an opportunity and a key event.

……

Zhao Hongrun raised his head and glanced at the woman sitting next to Qin Shaojun, who was also his imperial sister, Princess Yulong—the latter was curiously looking at the furnishings in the room.

Yes, this is the reason why he resisted from the bottom of his heart and looked gloomy from beginning to end.

"Marriage?" Zhao Hongrun spit out a word coldly in his mouth.

"Yes." Qin Shaojun lowered his head slightly, and seemed to be a little shy.

But his blushing appearance made Zhao Hongrun look particularly dazzling, especially when Princess Yulong was still heartless at the moment.

Zhao Hongrun must admit that with the current situation of Qin and Wei, only marriage can change the hatred between each other and bring the two countrymen closer, but for the sake of the country, it is necessary to sacrifice a weak woman, which Zhao Hongrun hates.

You know, I think that he was strongly opposed to Princess Yulong marrying into the Chu State, so he resolutely took command at the age of fourteen, could it be that after five years of painstaking management, he still couldn't let this imperial sister really get free?

"No way!"

Looking at Qin Shaojun's eyes, there was a little anger in his eyes, and Zhao Hongrun said coldly: "I will never let Yulong marry the Qin State in exchange for the Qin-Wei Alliance!" ”

Listening to Zhao Hongrun's categorical and irrefutable words, Qin Shaojun's face turned a little pale at first, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his face showed a little consternation.

And at this moment, Princess Yulong also said angrily in a somewhat annoyed and angry tone: "Hongrun, what are you talking nonsense? When did you say I was going to marry Shaojun? ”

"Not you?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Then what are you doing here?" ”

Princess Yulong tilted her head and said, "I'm here to deliver the letter, I have two letters with me, I'll give it to you depending on your situation." …… By the way, come to Qin to relax. ”

Zhao Hongrun was stunned again when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Wait, if it weren't for you...... Who is the marriage partner? ”

I saw a slight sly smile on Princess Yulong's face, pointed at Zhao Hongrun, and said with a smile: "You." ”

“……”

Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth dumbfounded.

After half a ring, he glanced at Qin Shaojun, who was still a little shy, his face was a little blue, and his eyes showed a little horror.

"I didn't expect you to be like this, Qin Shaojun......"

He shifted his body restlessly, as if trying to get as far away as possible.
