Chapter 845: A slight deviation
Wei Fu of Tianshui Wei's ......
Zhao Hongrun looked at the solemn look of the Tianshui Wei family in the distance, and was surprised in his heart. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
I have to say that Wei Gang's request, or perhaps suggestion, really caught him off guard, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
Today's Longxi Wei clan can be roughly divided into two types of people, one of which is the person who has actually lost the pride of the Wei family in his heart, and only thinks about how to survive in the Wei country and continue to live a luxurious life of drunken dreams and death, such as Wei Wei's father; The other category is still trying to make the Wei family come back, such as Lintao Jun Wei Ji.
And Wei Gang, the head of the Tianshui Wei family, obviously belongs to the latter.
Even, Wei Gang's courage was even greater than Wei Ji's, after all, Wei Ji at least wanted to seek Zhao's help, and Wei Gang, he seemed to be more inclined to be Zhao's ally than a vassal.
It's hard to do......
Rao is Zhao Hongrun, and it is inevitable that he will fall into a dilemma at this time.
In all fairness, in fact, Zhao Hongrun is not disgusted with people like Wei Wei, the father of the Wei family, who are pampered and treated, in his opinion, as long as the Wei family in Longxi does not make trouble in the Wei country, what can the imperial court do with a sum of support? It is excellent to disperse and settle this group of people in the territory of Wei, and then lose some of them to Song County, so that Wei can wrestle with Nangong Yao.
However, Wei Fu put forward a request for military power.
seems to be this kind of request, Zhao Hongrun will not agree at all. You must know that after disbanding the army, the Wei clan in Longxi is a cat that has lost its minions, and there is no threat to him Zhao clan, and he will not be at the mercy of the Zhao clan in the future? But if the Wei clan in Longxi is allowed to keep the army, who dares to guarantee that this is not a problem for raising tigers?
But the problem is that Wei Gang's concept is so famous, and he Zhao Hongrun really can't find any loopholes - Wei wants to cancel the monarchy and give up his own status as a condition, hoping that Zhao will give Wei corresponding respect. And where does this respect manifest itself? It is embodied in the equal exchange, that is, the Wei clan relied on its own strength to fight the Korean army for the Wei State in the northern Xinjiang, and exchanged for the required resources and status by virtue of military merits.
Foolproof!
Cannot! Don't let Wei keep his army!
Zhao Hongrun's subconscious seemed to have a voice constantly reminding him, but reason told him that he had no reason or position to refuse Wei Fu's legitimate request.
How to refuse?
Said that the war in northern Xinjiang did not need Wei's contribution?
Indeed, with the current military strength of the Wei State, there is not much difference in the overall situation with or without the tens of thousands of troops of the Wei Clan, but the problem is that this matter involves the dignity of the Wei Clan, which is more troublesome.
As the Wei clan of Longxi, who is the family of the family, after coming to the Wei State, he gave up his status as the family, and just hoped for a request for self-reliance and military exploits in exchange for survival and continuation in the Wei State.
Even, it will make people wonder if the Zhao family is relying on the power and intends to force the Wei family to death.
…… Can't refuse.
After thinking for a while, and considering various factors, Zhao Hongrun still couldn't refuse Wei Gang's request, just because Wei Gang's words were simply impeccable.
At this time, seeing that Zhao Hongrun was silent, Wei Fu's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, and he said with a smile: "Su Wang Mo can't be the master?" …… If this is the case, why don't you send someone to ask what His Majesty King Ling Zun Wei means? ”
Excite me?
Zhao Hongrun looked at Wei Gang with some annoyance, and gritted his teeth a little.
After half a ring, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "This matter, this king really can't be the master, I will send someone to Daliang later, and ask my father to decide." ”
Hearing this, Wei Fu's eyes changed slightly, and he seemed a little surprised.
This sub...... is young, and it stands to reason that he should be strong in blood, but he didn't expect to be so calm...... Among my Wei juniors, I'm afraid that no one can stand out.
Secretly praising Zhao Hongrun in his heart, Wei Fu laughed dryly, and he was so focused on the general's plan.
And a few people such as Lintaojun Wei Ji and Zhao Sheng, who looked at Zhao Hongrun, were also a little surprised.
As for his second uncle Zhao Yuanyan, who was sitting next to Zhao Hongrun, he also looked at his nephew with approving eyes, after all, Zhao Yuanyan also knew Zhao Hongrun's character, and knew that the latter was not impulsive in this matter, which was really commendable.
The meeting that followed went very smoothly, after all, after removing the key issues of the monarch's position and whether he could retain military power, the rest of the questions seemed irrelevant.
Generally speaking, the Wei clan initially approved Zhao Hongrun's various requests, for example, to invite Wei's sovereign father, Wei Li, as the representative of the entire Wei clan in Longxi, to go to Daliang to meet Wei Tianzi.
But Zhao Hongrun was still unhappy, because in his opinion, instead of solving the most fundamental problem, Wei Fu was turned against the army and found a reasonable reason.
After the meeting, Zhao Hongrun took the guards to live in the post house in the city temporarily, and then summoned a few green crows to write down the process of today's meeting, and asked these green crows to be sent to Daliang non-stop.
To Zhao Hongrun's surprise, that night, Wei Gang, the head of the Wei family in Tianshui, took Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, and Zhao Sheng, the prince of Lintao, to visit him in person.
"Is Lord Wei Fu here to mock this king?"
When he saw Wei Fu, Zhao Hongrun expressed his inner depression through jokes.
It is no exaggeration to say that so far Zhao Hongrun has really not met many people who can make him deflated, his father Wei Tianzi is counted as one, Shouling Jun Jingshe of Chu State is counted as one, and the third is Wei Gang, the head of the Tianshui Wei family.
Hearing Zhao Hongrun's joke, Wei Gang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "King Su misunderstood, it seems that King Su is a young hero, Wei Gang can't make friends yet, where is he willing to grudge with him?" After that, he lifted the two small jars of wine he was carrying, and said with a smile: "Today's meeting to provoke the king of Su is really a last resort. …… For the sake of my Wei family's current struggle, I hope that King Su will forgive me. ”
Seeing Wei Gang putting on such a low posture, Zhao Hongrun naturally didn't want to say anything more, so he invited Wei Gang, Lintaojun Wei Ji, and Zhu Zhujun Zhao Sheng into the house, and instructed the guards to prepare a few dishes to entertain the last three.
During the banquet, Wei Gang spared no effort to make friends with Zhao Hongrun, while Wei Ji and Zhao Sheng, the two of them warmed up, especially Zhao Sheng, the elegant conversation and sometimes humorous remarks, which made the atmosphere of the conversation more harmonious.
Of course, Zhao Hongrun understood the meaning of these three.
So when the wine was drunk, he asked straight to the point, "Lord Wei Fu, what do you want?" ”
Hearing this, Wei Fu, Wei Ji, and Zhao Sheng glanced at each other, and the smile on their faces slowly retracted and became much more serious.
Under Zhao Hongrun's gaze, Wei Gang raised the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for the three people at the same table, and said, "I don't have the confidence to be like Lord Wei Ji, trying to take back Longxi from the hands of the Qin people. I only hope that the Wei clan, at least my Tianshui Wei clan, will be in the Wei country...... No, it should be said that it is in Dawei, settling down with dignity, not under the fence, not relying on people's snorts. ”
"......" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wei Fu deeply, noncommittal or not.
After all, he and Wei Gang had only met once today, and they were not familiar with each other, so who could guarantee that what Wei Gang said at this time was true.
"What are your plans?" Taking a sip of wine, Zhao Hongrun asked.
As if he understood Zhao Hongrun's vague question, Wei Fu smiled slightly and said: "I have discussed with Lord Wei Ji to prepare to reorganize my army in Longxi, and when the time comes, with Lord Wei Ji as the main general and Jiang Ji as the deputy general, I will go to the north to assist in the war." ”
"The Wei clan wants the northern frontier?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wei Ji quietly and asked casually.
"No, no, no." Wei Fu waved his hand again and again and said: "Going to Northern Xinjiang is only for meritorious service, and there is absolutely nothing more than thinking. As for where my Wei clan will settle in the future, I will obey the arrangements of the Zhao family......" Speaking of this, he said in a complicated tone: "I just hope that I can live with a straight back and not be looked down upon." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun sipped his wine and was silent for a moment.
In fact, the battle situation in northern Xinjiang is actually not optimistic, although it seems that the two sides of Wei and South Korea are deadlocked, but in fact, the Wei side is only relying on the city and the pass to defend it, as for the outside of the city, it has actually fallen into the hands of the Korean cavalry.
But then again, it is precisely because Wei's army is stuck in several key strategic places that South Korea is quite a bit of a stunner and does not dare to go too far alone.
And if the northern frontier is supported by tens of thousands of reinforcements from the Wei clan, even if it cannot change the situation of the war, I believe that the situation of the Wei army will inevitably be more relaxed, not to mention, it is still famous generals such as Wei Ji and Jiang Cong who are ready to send troops to the northern Xinjiang this time.
At the same time, in Daliang, which is hundreds of miles away from Yan County, in the palace, Wei Tianzi, who was staying in Youzhi Palace, was aroused by the great eunuch Tong Xian as soon as he lay down.
"Your Majesty, it's the six hundred miles sent by the Green Crows from Yan County."
The Crows? Hongrun?
Wei Tianzi was stunned, put on a dragon robe and got off the bed, took the letter from Tong Xian's hand, opened it and glanced at it.
Immediately, his brow furrowed slightly.
After half a ring, Wei Tianzi's brows gradually softened, and he muttered with a smile: "Tianshui Wei Gang...... Tsk, I didn't expect there to be such characters in Longxi...... Well, Tong Xian, send someone to tell Hongrun, and say that I agreed. With that, he gently patted the letter in his hand on Tong Xian's chest.
"Yes." Tong Xian took the letter and owed it.
At this time, Wei Tianzi was about to step back to the apse, and suddenly, as if he felt something, he stopped and frowned and glanced at the letter in Tong Xian's hand, with a little thought on his face.
Seeing this, Tong Xian asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty?" What's wrong with you? ”
"......" Wei Tianzi shook his head slowly, but the look of confusion on his face did not subside.
Although it was not a big deal, Wei Tianzi faintly felt that the result of this Wei incident was a little different from what he expected. (To be continued.) )
