Life is such a magical thing.

Zhao Yong looked at the little princess in his arms, obviously for this stranger, the little princess was not afraid at all, but laughed when she saw Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong was very happy to see her smiling so brightly. teased the little princess's cheek with her fingers, and the little princess struggled to hook Zhao Yong's fingers with her hand, but Zhao Yong quickly retracted it. The little princess was obviously angry, and looked at Zhao Yong in a daze, babbling with her mouth open and not knowing what to say, and seemed to be very angry. Zhao Yong laughed when he saw this scene. He didn't be a father in his previous life, this is really his own blood. Whether it is Zhao Zhang, or this baby girl with the milk name Pengpeng, this is the continuation of his life.

Han Chan'er looked at Zhao Yong's happy appearance, and her heart also calmed down slightly. As a woman, she thinks that there is no difference between a boy and a girl, but as the wife and concubine of the king of a country, if she can give birth to a boy, life will definitely be much better. It's just that she likes girls, but she doesn't know if Zhao Yong likes it too. Now seeing Zhao Yong's appearance, the hanging heart has also been put down.

"When your sister gave birth to Zhang'er, she was not by her side, and she was already guilty; Now that you have given birth to Pengpeng, loneliness is still no longer by your side. When you think about it, you really owe a lot to your two sisters. Zhao Yong held Han Chan'er's hand, and Yixiyi's face had more maternal brilliance, which was very different from the little girl at the beginning.

"The gentleman works hard for government affairs, and he can still consider Chan'er, Chan'er is too late to be happy, how dare he criticize him. What's more, the concubine gave birth to a baby girl, and the king rewarded her many times, and the concubine couldn't afford it. ”

Like Zhao Yong, who has never been a father in his previous life, and now he is a pair of children, I'm afraid Han Chan'er will not understand. Although he will have more children, this pair must be the most precious now.

Zhao Yong was about to chat with Han Chan'er for a while, but he heard someone outside the door report that the Korean envoy was waiting behind Longtai for a long time and wanted to see Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong's mind was lively, and he quickly came to the insight, he glanced at Han Chan'er, and saw that although her expression was as usual, her eyes were wandering, and he knew that he had been "betrayed", presumably the Korean envoy had already seen the Han sisters, and her words were powerful. The Han sisters made up their minds to secretly inform the Korean envoy of the plan to see Zhao Yong when he was happy. Presumably, as soon as Zhao Yong entered the Hanchan Palace, the Korean envoy over there was ready to ask for a meeting.

"You!" Zhao Yong shook his head and said with a wry smile. "Let the Korean envoy wait in the Hanyuan Hall for a while, and summon the four elders of Situ, Sikong, Sima, and Sikou to meet in the Hanyuan Palace."

"Whoa." The eunuch slowly withdrew from the hall, Zhao Yong glanced at Han Chan'er again, Han Chan'er saw that Zhao Yong had seen through her little tricks, lest she be scolded by Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong leaned down dotingly, pinched Han Chan'er's cheek, picked up Peng Peng, who was already asleep, kissed her, and said, "Rest early, and come to see you later." Then he left the main hall. Only Han Chan'er, who had woken up, sneered, touched her cheek, and looked sweetly at her sleeping daughter, as if she was drunk.

Shang Jin stood in the Hanyuan Palace, but his mind was not here at all. He has been in Handan for about half a month, and Zhao Yong has been back in Handan for five days. Before Zhao Yong arrived in Handan, Shang Jin had already paid a visit to Zhao Bao and others, including Wu Guang, but no one dared to assure him that Zhao would increase his troops at Hangu Pass. Because now the power of Zhao State is in the hands of Zhao Yong, and Zhao State does not have the position of Xiangbang, or in other words, the position of Xiangbang is divided into four specific positions, and no one can even give advice for him. Zhao Bao and Wu Guang didn't dare to agree, and Fei Yi said that this matter was not in his charge, and it was inconvenient to put his beak. Shang Jin once had a relationship with Zhao Cheng in Xinzheng, and he wanted to visit, but Zhao Cheng pushed him away on the grounds of physical discomfort and didn't even let him in. There was no way, he could only enter the royal city in the name of the envoy of Chaohe to directly meet Han Qian, who was the queen. Han Qian was thoughtful and told him to wait for Zhao Yong to visit Han Chan before coming to visit, which would definitely be effective. So he waited at the post station for several days, and finally saw the messenger sent by Han Qian with a message, asking him to visit him immediately, and it worked.

However, the most important thing is how to move Zhao to increase the army in Hangu Pass. When he was in the future, Han Wangkang asked him to persuade Zhao to increase his troops in Hangu, and sent Prince Huan and the veteran general Kun to the front line to supervise the battle. King Han told him that he hoped that Zhao Yong could send reinforcements, otherwise Korea would be in danger!

However, even Shang Jin himself knows that Zhao Guo's Northern Expedition is now going well, and the army is also exhausted, if he rushes to send troops, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness is also debatable; Secondly, now the affairs of Zhao State are all in the hands of Zhao Yong, and the other four ministers are in a superior position, but in fact their power is limited, and it is impossible to act arbitrarily. So how to persuade Zhao Yong to agree to send troops is a problem that he must consider.

Just when he was wandering out of the world, there was a sparse sound of footsteps outside the hall, Shang Jin put away his thoughts, looked outside the hall, and saw Zhao Bao's four ministers walking in with a young man in their arms, and there was no doubt that it was Zhao Yong. He was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the king who had just driven away the Hu people would be so young, similar to the crown prince. Hurry up and salute.

Zhao Yong greeted him for a few words, and then said: "The messenger came from Xinzheng to congratulate the princess on her new birthday, and he is very grateful. He also asked the envoy to return to Xinzheng and express his gratitude to King Han on behalf of the princess. Later, the lonely general personally selected some thank-you gifts and asked the messenger to bring them back. ”

Shang Jin Zheng was worried that he couldn't find a topic, and when he heard Zhao Yong's words, he calmed down and said: "The king has a heart, and his subordinates feel that there is probably only one treasure that can make King Han smile." ”

Everyone frowned, thinking that this messenger was so ignorant, how could he pick his own gifts, to put it mildly, even if Zhao Yong gave the things he had used to King Han, King Han couldn't feel angry, but he would lose his manners.

"I don't know what treasure is worthy of King Han's coveting?" Zhao Yong was not annoyed, and looked at Shang Jin with a light smile.

"It's the king's tiger talisman!"

"What is the use of King Han borrowing me Zhao Guohu talisman?"

"King Han naturally hopes that the king will increase your troops in Hangu Pass and work with other countries to fight against Qiang Qin."

"There are 200,000 people from Han and Wei in front of Hangu Pass, and even if Zhao sends troops, it is nothing more than icing on the cake. However, the Northern Expedition has just ended, and Qi and Zhongshan are already eyeing me, so we must take precautions as soon as possible to prevent accidents. ”

"But for the Zhao State, the threat of the Qin State is also very great."

"The state of Qin is not necessarily a threat, but it can also be a neighbor."

As soon as Zhao Yong's words came out, he was really shocked. Not only Shang Jin was speechless, but even Zhao Bao and the four were surprised. They have always felt that Zhao Yong risked being surrounded by other countries and went north to attack the Hu people, in order to open up the main route to attack Qin in the south, and at the same time consolidate his own borders and expand his own territory, so they all expressed great support in this matter.

However, Zhao Yong's words at this moment did not seem to have the intention of being an enemy of the Qin State. This will most likely mean a fundamental change in Zhao's foreign policy. It is even possible to break away from the country and turn to the state of Qin. If this is really the case, then no matter what Shang Jin says, Zhao Yong will not increase his troops to continue to fight against Qin, and may even withdraw his troops. In the case that the state of Chu could not withdraw and the state of Qi had no intention of participating, losing a powerful state of Zhao, how could Han and Wei deal with themselves?

"Does the king mean that he wants to retire to protect himself?" Shang Jin asked solemnly, he must confirm Zhao Yong's attitude, because this means that South Korea will also adjust its own policy, and many people are afraid that they will have to step aside, such as Xiangbang, who is now advocating war with Qin.

"Gu means," Zhao Yong smiled, "Qin can be a good neighbor, and Zhao is also willing to be a neighbor with such a Qin State, I believe that the two countries will get along amicably." ”

"I'm afraid the king is going to be disappointed." Shang Jin said unceremoniously, "Qin State, tiger wolf also." Greed and untrustworthiness, rudeness and immorality, this is the consensus of the world. Now that South Korea has sent its national destiny to Hangu Pass, but the monarch wants to make peace with Qin, what is the difference between him and the same beasts? ”

Although they didn't agree with Zhao Yong very much in their hearts, it was too much to say that they were in the company of beasts, and they accused Shang Jin of being rude and asked him to apologize to Zhao Yong. But Shang Jin was really angry, so he naturally sat there unmoved.

"I'm afraid the messenger has misunderstood what Lone meant." Zhao Yong said patiently: "What did Gu He say that he would retire from Hangu Pass? ”

Shang Jin was stunned for a moment, indeed, Zhao Yong did not say anything about retiring the army, it was extended by himself according to Zhao Yong's meaning, "And is the monarch ready to strike a truce with the Qin State?" ”

"Since ancient times, there have been many wars, and it is not strange that there have been many strikes and peace."

This makes a group of people wonder, Zhao Yong will say that he wants to negotiate peace, and he will not say about retiring for a while, what is the mystery in this?

"I don't know what your lord means?"

"The two are not in conflict in the first place, and I don't understand why the messenger always mixes them up." Zhao Yong said, "It is naturally inappropriate for the soldiers to be stationed outside, because they think they are peace-negotiating; And the matter of negotiating peace does not have to be conditional on the withdrawal of troops. Lone means that half a month later, Zhao Guo had 10,000 soldiers to increase the army in Hangu. to join forces with the Four Kingdoms to fight against Qiang Qin. ”

Shang Jin received an affirmative answer from Zhao Yong and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the same way, Zhao did not want to be an enemy of Qin, and hoped that the two countries would reconcile. Naturally, this intention should only be implemented after the retreat of the Qin army. Before that, Zhao would not negotiate peace with Qin alone, and asked the envoy to convey it to King Han. ”

When Shang Jin heard this, he probably understood what Zhao Yong meant. After the Northern Expedition, Zhao was still a little powerless, and it was natural for him to hope to rest after the Great War of Qin. What's more, South Korea also knew that Zhongshan was behind Zhao, which was also the reason why Zhao Yong was reluctant to send a large army, so he could only agree to this proposal for the time being and prepare to return to King Han.

"There is one more matter, the envoy can also tell King Han."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Zhao and South Korea are close to each other, Zhao will not avoid South Korea to act alone, and South Korea cannot avoid Zhao to do something that violates the covenant. Lone can promise the envoy here, if the Qin State attacks Korea, unless Zhao Guoli can't reach it, he will definitely use the strength of the whole country to help Korea. "Even if you have to garrison troops." ”

Shang Jin received a satisfactory answer and left happily, leaving only the four ministers in the hall full of questions, and Zhao Yong, who was in a very good mood.

"If you have something on your mind, you might as well say it and see if Gu can explain a thing or two for you." Zhao Yong's expression, no matter how you look at it, seems to be holding back bad thoughts.

Well, maybe after this chapter, it will be very different from history. Although I have advanced the timeline and reconstructed the relationship between some characters before, Zhao Yong at that time had little impact after all. However, now sitting on such a vast territory, Zhao's every move is enough to change the trend of history. In the future, history will take a completely different path from the past.
