Chapter 254: The Qin State is not the opponent of the Zhao State
Gongzi Jiyuan was hostage in Yan State, and he had no chance to become the king of Qin. History, however, is contingent. In order to meddle in Qin's internal affairs, Zhao Jun sent Le Yi to Yan State, and it is said that King Yan Zhao escorted Gongzi Ji back to China. King Yan Zhao supported Zhao Jun's proposal and escorted Gongzi Ji back to China, and also had his own considerations. As a result, the contingency of history happened in this way, and Qin Proton Gongzi was pushed to the front of history under the support of Zhao Jun and Yan Wangzhi.
Gongzi Ji became the king of Qin, and Zhao and Yan made a lot of efforts.
When Qin Wangji succeeded to the throne, he naturally would not forget the mutual help of Yan and Zhao. will not forget the merits of Yan and Zhao escorting envoys Le Yi and Ji Wuwang. On this day, Qin Wangji dealt with the cumbersome state affairs and sent people to invite the envoys of Yan and Zhao, as well as the escort envoys of Yan and Zhao, into the palace to express his gratitude. Le Yi entered the Qin Palace with Lou Huan. Le Yi stepped into the main hall and quickly glanced at the situation in the hall.
I saw that Qin Wangji was sitting on the main seat. Wei Ran and Qi Rong accompanied them. Yan Envoy and Ji Wuwang are also in the palace.
Le Yi saw that the important ministers of the Qin State and the people of the clan in the main hall did not attend, and even Mi Bazi did not attend. The princes of the six kingdoms, only Yan and Zhao came. Le Yi figured out that this banquet was not a state banquet, but a private banquet held by Qin Wangji to thank Yan and Zhao.
Qin Wangji saw Le Yi walk in, and said happily: "General Le, we meet again." ”
Lou Shu and Le Yi saluted: "Foreign minister, meet the King of Qin." ”
Qin Wangji was overjoyed in his heart, raised his hand and said, "Lou Envoy, General Le, please sit down." ”
Lou Xuan and Le Yi returned the salute: "King Xie Qin." ”
"The widow can have today, and he will not forget the grace of Zhao Jun and King Yan, nor will he forget the escort of General Le and General Ji. The widow has called you here to thank you for the kindness of the two nations. The second is for national affairs. Lou Slow and Le Yi sat down, Qin Wangji picked up the wine bottle and greeted the guests: "Everyone, let's drink a bottle, please." ”
Everyone picked up the wine bottle, greeted Qin Wangji, and shouted, "Please." ”
After speaking, everyone drank all the cups of wine. The maid stepped forward and refilled the cup with wine.
Qin Wangji picked up the wine bottle, moved to Le Yi, and said in a humble tone: "General Le, the widow respects you." ”
Qin Wangji toasted, Le Yi didn't dare to slack off, raised the wine bottle and replied: "Thank you King Qin." ”
Qin Wangji and Le Yi drank all the wine.
Qin Wangji asked, "General Le, how is my Qin wine?" ”
Le Yi is also a lover of wine, and replied: "Good wine." ”
"Hahaha." Qin Wangji laughed and said, "Compared with Zhao wine and Qin wine, General Le prefers to drink that kind of wine. ”
Qin Wangji was ostensibly asking Zhao Jiu and Qin Jiu, but in fact he was asking Le Yi, compared with him, Zhao Jun was more suitable to be the monarch he served. Yan Envoy and Lou Xuan were proficient in words, so they naturally knew the hidden meaning of Qin Wangji's words. Le Yi also comprehended Qin Wangji's words in an instant, and quickly responded, and replied with careful words: "Although Qin wine is a fine wine, Le Yi is a native of Zhao and naturally loves to drink Zhao wine. ”
Le Yi not only expressed his love for Qin wine, but also said the reason why he loved Zhao wine. Qin Wangji understood the meaning expressed in Le Yi's words, in order to save his face, he politely refused. But Qin Wangji still asked unwillingly: "General Le, isn't Qin wine delicious?" ”
"Non-Qin wine is not good." Le Yi met Qin Wangji's eyes and replied in a soft tone, "But Le Yi is used to drinking Zhao wine. ”
"General Le, the Qin State needs you. The widow needs you too. King Qin was reluctant to play word games with Le Yi, and asked directly: "The Qin State has just recovered from a serious illness, and it needs a virtuous person like General Le." General Le, can he stay and assist the widow. Help the widows and regain the glory of Daqin. ”
Qin Wangji bluntly said what he thought in his heart, not only Le Yi was surprised. Even Wei Ran, Qi Rong, Lou Chuan and others who were sitting with them were surprised. Wei Ran and Qi Rong secretly had a headache, and said in their hearts: "The king is too nonsense." How could he ask Le Yi to stay in front of the ambassadors of Zhao and Yan. ”
Lou slowly heard Qin Wangji's words, and his heart chuckled. Twenty years ago, Lou Xuan was also Le Yi's age. Zhao Jungang succeeded to the throne, and the Five Kingdoms plotted against Zhao in the name of funeral. Zhao Jun was unwilling to compromise with the Five Kingdoms, and regardless of the will of everyone, he insisted on letting him lead his army to meet the coalition forces at the funeral of the Five Kingdoms. Zhao Jun said that betting on national fortune is also betting on the country. However, Lou slowly saw the courage and courage of the young monarch from Zhao Jun's hot eyes.
Lou slowly stabilized his mind and looked at Qin Wangji's demeanor. Lou Xuan understood what this look meant. Qin Wangji did not want to be famous, but sincerely wanted Le Yi to stay and help him and establish his career. Lou slowly looked at Qin Wangji, and then at Le Yi, wondering in his heart, why Qin Wangji values Le Yi. He also wanted to know how Le Yi would answer.
"Xie, King Qin raises love." Le Yi put down the glass in the wine and replied politely, "If it weren't for Zhao Jun's appreciation of me, how could I be where I am today." Zhao Junzhi's kindness, Le Yi, dare not live up. ”
Qin Wangji hurriedly said: "If General Le is willing to stay and help the widow." General Le wants whatever conditions, just ask. The widow will be satisfied with you one by one. ”
Lou slowly saw the words of King Qin, it was inevitable!
Le Yi said with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Maxima often has, Bole does not often have." ”
Qin Wangji understood the meaning of the other party's words, and he was unwilling to push too much, so as not to cause embarrassment to the banquet, and said with a smile: "It's a pity! Bole is Zhao Jun, not a widow. ”
"King Qin is in love, Le Yi is not a thousand miles." Le Yi also smiled and said: "The name of King Qin's virtue and benevolence has spread all over the Qin Kingdom. Le Yi believes that there will be thousands of horses coming here. ”
"King Yan buys bones with thousands of gold and builds a golden platform to recruit talents. The wisdom of King Yan's love for talent has been passed down to the princes. Zhao Jun does not suspect that he is suspicious. It also does not take into account the status and identity of the employer. Qin Wangji looked yearning, "The sage of the widow is not as good as King Yan and Zhao Jun." However, the widow will also follow the example of the two and learn to be a virtuous king. The widow is also looking forward to Maxima coming to the widow as soon as possible. General Le was reluctant to stay in Qin to help the widows, nor was he willing to serve the widows. Although the widow knows Maxima, he is not the Bole that Maxima wants. ”
Le Yi smiled lightly: "Zhao Jun doesn't need me, and Zhao Guo doesn't need me." When I couldn't get along, I came to join King Qin. When the time comes, I will also ask King Qin to reward me with a bowl of rice, I am grateful. ”
"What did General Le say? The gateway of Great Qin is always open to you. Qin Wangji saw that Le Yi had made up his mind, no matter what he said, he couldn't move the other party to follow him, and he no longer made it difficult for others, so he restrained the topic, "General Le, how about you and I drink a bottle." ”
"Okay." Le Yi said sharply, "It's exactly what I want." ”
Qin Wangji drank the wine in the cup and laughed: "Happy." ”
After three rounds of drinking, everyone also drank freely. Qin Wangji put down the wine bottle and high-fived with one hand. The two eunuchs dragged the wooden plate and bowed down to meet it. Qin Wangji pointed to the bamboo slips on the wooden plate, "The widow once made an oath with King Yan and Zhao Jun. If the widow becomes the king of Qin, he is willing to keep peace with Yan and Zhao and conclude a brotherly alliance. Today, the widow made an alliance with the two messengers. The state of Qin is willing to make friends with Yan and Zhao. ”
Lou said slowly: "Zhao Guo, I am willing to make friends with Qin Guo." ”
Yan envoy also said: "Yan Guo, I am also willing to make friends with Qin State." ”
"The widow is willing to become a brotherly state with Yan and Zhao forever, and will not attack each other." Qin Wangji picked up a glass of wine and drank, "A toast to our peace and friendship." Ladies and gentlemen, please. ”
Everyone said in unison: "King Qin, please." ”
Qin Wangji drank a glass of Chinese wine and said with a smile: "You will return to China soon." The widow is busy with state affairs, so I will not send it to you. Tonight is the practice of the widow for you. ”
It was already late at night, and Xianyang City fell into tranquility. However, the lights of the Qin Palace flickered, and the laughter continued. Everyone here knows that today they will be friends. Perhaps, tomorrow they will be enemies. They also have Yaxing, get together to drink, and talk about the world. No matter what happens to the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Yan in the future. But this night, they were friends.
……
Three days later, Lou slowly handed over the credentials and bid farewell to the King of Qin and returned to China. In order to thank Zhao Jun for everything he had done for him, Qin Wangji asked Wei Ran to send him off.
Ten miles out of Xianyang City, Wei Ran arched his hand and said: "Lou envoy, I don't know when the next time we meet." ”
Lou replied slowly: "Perhaps, the next time we meet, we will be friends and enemies." ”
"Qin and Zhao are in alliance and have good friends." Wei Ran smiled: "We will naturally be friends. ”
Lou Xuan also said: "I hope so." ”
Wei Ran arched his hand and said: "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, and the envoy of the building will walk slowly all the way." ”
Lou slowly replied: "Thank you for sending each other off." ”
On the other side, Bai Qi said to Le Yi: "General Le, I want to fight with you." ”
Le Yi replied: "I also want to fight General Bai. ”
Bai Qi replied with a calm face: "I hope that the next time we meet, we are enemies." ”
Le Yi replied with a solemn expression: "I also have this intention. ”
Bai Qi smiled and said: "General Le, you and I are fighting, who will win." ”
Le Yi also smiled: "I also want to know this answer." ”
Bai Qi bowed his hand and said, "General Le, there will be no date in the future." ”
Le Yi replied: "General Bai, there will be no time in the future." ”
Wei Ran saw Zhao Guo's convoy kicking up dust and moving away, so he came to Bai Qi's side and asked, "Bai Qi, what are you and Le Yi muttering?" ”
Bai Qi replied: "General Wei, Le Yi will be a very powerful figure. ”
"You took the initiative to ask for orders to send the envoy of Zhao with me, you just want to see Le Yi." Wei Ran looked at the Zhao Guo convoy that was gradually moving away, "Under Zhao Jun, many talents have been gathered. Lou Yan and Le Yi cannot be underestimated. Now that the State of Qin and the State of Zhao are at war, who do you think will win. ”
Bai Qi replied: "General Wei, I am not Le Yi's opponent. ”
Wei Ran also said: "I'm not Lou Zhuan's opponent. Wang Shang is not Zhao Jun's opponent either. ”
Bai Qi didn't expect Wei Ran to say such a thing, and his eyes looked in the direction of Zhao Guo's convoy again.
"The turmoil in our country has led to the accumulation of talents for three generations: Qin Xiaogong, King Qin Hui, and King Qin Wu, which were destroyed in one fell swoop. Our national strength has declined sharply, and the country's talents have withered. Although there are elite soldiers in the country, there are no generals. In recent years, Zhao has developed rapidly and the country is strong. Zhao Jun promoted Hufu cavalry and archery, tempered iron cavalry, and Zhao Guobing was strong and strong, and the national strength was strong. Zhao attacked Zhongshan twice, and Zhongshan had no power to fight back, so he could only cut the land and seek peace. Cross the river to the west and recapture the northwest of the river. went north to attack Linhu, and the king of Linhu offered his horse to sue for peace. The current Zhao State is probably beyond our imagination. The first king said that Zhao Jun would dominate the situation and be proud of the princes. Now it seems that it is true! Wei Ran sighed: "The Zhao State is no longer a small country that has been arbitrarily bullied by the princes. The state of Zhao has embarked on a strong state. ”
Wei Ran paused a little, and then said, "Zhao Guoguo is the most difficult enemy for the Qin State to deal with. I also hope that Qin and Zhao will always live in harmony. I don't want to fight against Zhao in my lifetime. ”
Bai Qi asked, "How can General Wei grow the prestige of others and destroy his own ambition." ”
"When Zhao Jun succeeded to the throne, Zhao was in chaos. Wei invited Qi, Qin, Chu, and Yan to meet and destroy Zhao with an alliance of funerals. At that time, the state of Zhao was so weak that the princes often bullied the state of Zhao. Ten years ago, we defeated Sanjin and beheaded 82,000 fish. Subsequently, he broke through the central capital of Zhao and Xiyang. The following year, it was captured again, Lin City, and Lishi. Wei Ran said worriedly: "The situation is different now. Zhao Jun first intervened in Yan's internal affairs, and then interfered in Qin's internal affairs. Zhao Jun carried out Hufu cavalry and archery internally to develop national strength. Internally, make friends with the princes. Han, Zhao, and Wei fought for hundreds of years for the overlords of the Three Jin Dynasty. Now, Zhao Jun has been able to make the Sanjin Dynasty harmonious, and there has been no internal fighting for more than 20 years. The most important thing is that the whole world implements the royal road, and Zhao Jun does not try to be famous, but also knows how to keep his light and hide his strength. ”
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi." Wei Ran looked up at the changing clouds in the sky, "Zhao Jun's courage and courage are unmatched by the princes in the world. Zhao Jun's Wen Tao Wu strategy is also unprecedented. Bai Qi, it's not that I grow the prestige of Zhao and destroy the ambition of Qin. Zhao will be Qin's most difficult opponent. Today's Zhao State, Qin and Qi are helpless. ”
Bai Qi disagreed, pointed to the sky and shouted: "God, if you give me fifty years of time, I will definitely lead the Great Qin Ruishi to compete with the Zhao State." ”
Wei Ran said miserably: "The battle between Qin and Zhao will definitely become the most tragic battle in history." Whether it is Zhao Sheng or Qin Sheng, it will determine the general trend of the development of the world. It will also indicate the unification of the world, to Qin or to Zhao. ”
Bai Qi replied confidently: "The world belongs to my Qin State. ”
"Bai Qi, you have the potential to be a general." Wei Ran looked at him and said in a firm tone: "Once I have the opportunity, I will recommend you." Let you lead the Great Qin Ruishi and conquer the princes. ”
Bai Qi hugged his fists and said: "I will lead the Great Qin Iron Cavalry to conquer the princes." Let the princes of the world fear my Qin State. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for that day." Wei Ran looked at the Zhao Guo's convoy that disappeared on the horizon again, "Zhao Jun is an immortal monarch. His courage and personality charm, the princes of the world, no one can compare with him. In this life, I am willing for Qin and Zhao to keep peace and never fight with each other. ”
