Chapter Forty-Six: Returning Home in Defeat

It was a good banquet, and the lion of the Qin State opened his mouth to make Li Wei feel extremely angry in his heart. Jiang Ji did not get Li Wei's promise, and the conditions for Xiliang and Beiliang to cease fighting were abandoned because of the opposition of everyone in the court.

After the banquet was over, Jiang Ji led the Later Qin delegation back to the post station, and as soon as he entered the house, Jiang Ji was furious.

Li Wei didn't know the current affairs, but he made a guarantee in front of Yao Xing, he thought that this trip to Xiliang was a beautiful difference, but he didn't expect this Li Wei to be soft and hard, and he reminded Li Wei many times during the banquet, but Li Wei drank as if he didn't hear it.

If you can't complete the mission, the king will blame you when you go back, and you can't afford it.

But now Li Wei let himself go back to the post station to wait for news, if Li Wei disagreed, then he could only return empty-handed.

"Bastard!" Jiang Ji scolded, and the cup in his hand was shattered.

A loud noise woke up the mission outside the door, and there was a knock outside the door: "Lord Jiang, what happened?" ”

"It's okay, you guys go down." Jiang Ji was bored in his heart and shouted loudly.

After the banquet was over, when everyone was saying goodbye, a sergeant suddenly stepped forward and whispered to Li Yanliang, the king of Liang, to summon him.

When Li Yan came to Li Wei's study, Song Miao was also in the study.

"Yan'er has seen grandpa, and I've seen grandpa Song." Li Yan saluted the two.

"Hmmm! Have a seat! Li Wei nodded and motioned for Li Yan to sit down.

"I wonder what Grandpa is looking for Yan'er?" Li Yan asked in a low voice after sitting down.

"This time, the envoy of the Qin State threatened me Daliang to provide a huge amount of tribute, and grandpa discussed countermeasures with your Grandpa Song, but your Grandpa Song said that you have a good plan. So Grandpa invited you over just to hear your opinion. Li Yan took a sip of hot tea and asked Li Yan with a smile on his face.

"Grandpa, Yan'er doesn't have any good ideas." Li Yan felt as if he had been deceived.

"Yan'er, Grandpa Song saw that you only cared about eating and drinking by yourself during the banquet, and disdained the envoys of the Qin State, could it be that you already have a countermeasure in your heart?" Song Xuan, who was beside Li Yan, asked in a low voice.

"Grandpa Song, Yan'er is just too hungry. So I just ate it. ”

"You kid, how old are you and you're not serious." Song Miao said that he was about to hit Li Yan's head, but Li Yan hurriedly hugged his head and admitted his mistake.

"That's it! Yan'er, tell me, how do you think you should reply to Qin Guo's request? Li Wei asked expectantly.

"Grandpa, Yan'er thought that he would refuse all the requests of the envoys of the Qin State! A few years ago, when the Qin State broke through Guzang and moved the Lu clan such as Lu Long, the king of Liang, to Chang'an, they were indeed strong and strong. But now it is different from the past, Liu Bobo of the Hun Iron Buddha Department called himself the king of the Great Summer two years ago, and the Qin State was beaten without the power to fight back, and now the north of the Qin State is occupied by Liu Bobo's Huns, and the Qin State is too busy to take care of itself, how can there be spare strength to crusade against my Da Liang, and the current Qin State is just a foreign power. ”

Li Yan was not surprised by the current situation of the Qin State, the current Qin State is also suffering from internal and external troubles, and Yao Bi, the son of the Heavenly King Yao Xing, is enveloping the ministers, intending to seize the crown prince. And the crown prince Yao Hong is cowardly by nature, and the rest of the princes look on coldly, but in fact, they are like mirrors in their hearts, but no one wants to jump out first.

In addition to the internal struggle for power and profit in the court, the army of the external Qin State was basically in Luoyang, guarding against the Beifu army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the former Qin Fujian was almost wiped out by the Beifu army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which made Yao Xing have a natural fear of the Beifu army of the Jin State.

"Yan'er, if the Qin State and the pseudo-Liang join forces, I'm afraid that Da Liang will be difficult to deal with." After hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help but worry that the Qin State and the Huns would join forces, and at that time, they would be powerless to fight with Xiliang's troops.

"Grandpa, now that the Huns are fighting against the bald Xianbei, they will not be able to take care of me for a while, if the time is ripe, Yan'er is willing to lead the army to recapture Lejuan. Now that Hou Qin is worried about internal and external troubles, he is powerless to be distracted at all, so there is no need to worry. ”

"Brother, what Yan'er said is extremely true, besides, the Qin State is asking for a huge amount of money and food, and my current situation in Da Liang cannot satisfy the Qin State's desires at all." Song Miao nodded and said.

"That's it! Yan'er, you go back first. Li Wei got up and said to Li Yan.

Early the next morning, Li Yan went to the Chengnan camp, where Han Qian had been training sergeants these days.

"Brother Han, how is it? Have the personnel of the Blood Wolf Guard been replenished? ”

"Childe, now there are forty-seven new members of the Blood Wolf Guard, all of whom are innocent brothers selected from the Zhenbei Army, and now there are a total of two hundred and thirty-five Blood Wolf Guards."

"Good! Strengthen training, you must ensure the loyalty and strength of every Blood Wolf Guard, understand? Li Yan looked at the sergeants who were being trained in the battalion and said in a deep voice.

"Childe, don't worry. The Blood Wolf Guard wasn't that easy to sneak into. ”

"Let's go! Call the thunder and the hammer, and go for a drink today. Li Yan was greatly satisfied.

Li Yan and the others came to the largest restaurant in Jiuquan City, and the four of them ordered a large table of dishes, and the two large jars of wine had been drunk by the hammer and thunder, and there was only a little left.

The hammer was full of nonsense, and the whole person was shaky.

In a corner, a sturdy man watched Li Yan and his party drinking, and when he saw Han Qian, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly bowed his head and walked out of the restaurant, and then ran all the way to the post station.

"Lord Jiang, Lord Jiang, a great event!" As soon as the sturdy man entered the post station, he rushed straight to Jiang Ji's room.

Jiang Ji has been in Jiuquan for two days, and Li Hui, the king of Liang, has not summoned him yet, and he can't help but feel upset and irritable when he stays in the post station.

"What's the panic? He Er, have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard? Jiang Ji saw that someone came straight in and scolded loudly.

"Adult, the little one has discovered Han Qian." The sturdy man said with a flattering face.

"What? What humility? Jiang Ji was confused.

"My lord, it's Han Qian! The captain who escaped from Chang'an after assassinating Yao Cheng, the grandson of the King of Jin. ”

"Are you sure you read that right?" Jiang Ji calmed down and asked.

"My lord, the small one was under the command of Han Qian before, it is impossible to be mistaken. My lord, the king of Jin has a reward of 10,000 taels of gold, as long as Han Qian can be caught, whether he lives or dies, 10,000 taels. The muscular man drooled.

"I didn't expect this Han Qian to escape to Jiuquan City, but how can I arrest Han Qian?" Jiang Ji stroked his white beard and walked back and forth in the house.

"My lord, you can find King Liang Li Wei, just say that this Han Qian committed a heinous crime in my Great Qin, I guess King Liang will not disagree, right?"

"Good! Come with me to the Liangwang Mansion! ”

When Li Wei heard that Jiang Ji asked to see him, he wanted to tell the attendant to tell Jiang Ji that he would not see a guest today, but he didn't expect Jiang Ji to break in by himself.

"What is the purpose of coming? Why is it so urgent? Li Wei asked with a displeased face.

"I've seen the Duke of Jiuquan, and I have come here to ask for something important."

"Oh? I don't know what happened to the envoys? ”

"There is a person named Han Qian in Jiuquan City, who is a very vicious person, after killing the grandson of my Great Qin and Jin King a few years ago, and then absconded to Jiuquan City, please ask the Duke of Jiuquan to send someone to arrest this fang and hand it over to my Great Qin, I am very grateful!" Jiang Ji said with a righteous face.

"This person is a soldier of my Daliang's Zhenbei Army, and I am afraid that he has recognized the wrong person."

"Impossible! The envoy has already been testified, Han Qian is in the city, and the prince sent troops to take a look. Jiang Ji said unwillingly.

"Come on, if there's nothing else, please come back." Li Wei didn't have time to accompany Jiang Ji to be verbose, so he immediately ordered the eviction.

"Isn't the Duke of Jiuquan going to be my enemy of Great Qin? My hundreds of thousands of troops in Daqin can level Hexi in an instant, please don't make mistakes about yourself! ”

"Come on, expel the envoy of the Qin State! Lord Jiang, you go back and tell Yao Xing that this king is no longer a vassal of Qin from now on, come and please come back!! Li Wei waved his sleeves and left.
