Chapter 809: Wei Ce
PS: There is still a chapter around 1 o'clock
"Zhao Wuxian invited Wei Qing to the meeting, why did the widow also go with him?"
Outside the east gate of Xinjiang, the Marquis of Jin sat in the splendid cart at noon, and his "Hou Bo" was driven by six horses, which was enough to compare with the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, and the flag of the dragon was fluttering, but the face of this monarch was not very good-looking.
It is said that the Marquis of Jin today is also pitiful, and he succeeded to the throne in the year of the weak crown, although he was the monarch, he was regarded as a teenager by Liuqing, and he was kept in the deep palace all the time, and he had never experienced wind and rain. When he arrived at the year of his establishment, he encountered a great civil war that had not been seen in a century, experienced a bloody battle in Xinjiang City, and before he could take a breath, he had to face the menacing Zhao Wuxian, and he was so worried that he was almost white.
Wei Hao is conclusive: "Now Zhao Wuxian is powerful, and the monarch has also recognized his banner on the side of the Qing monarch, so he came with the momentum of a great victory, and the suburbs are also in line with the etiquette and law, the old Jiang, which is just the edge of the office." ”
"Having said that, if he has evil intentions, he will do harm to me; Or do you want to learn to treat Lu Jun like you, take me hostage, and bring me back to the east of Taihang to be kept in captivity in the palace to order Dr. Qingqing, so what should I do? Thinking of Lu Dinggong's miserable situation, Jin Houwu couldn't help but shudder, knowing that the Wei family had not talked much about the evil of the Zhao family in his ear in the past, including his disobedience to the Lu State Mansion.
Wei Xuan assured: "Zhao Wuxian will never dare to do this!" If he had this intention, he would have forced into Xinjiang a long time ago, besieged the city and shouted, and only the monarch was there, so that he could restrain his disobedience, think about it, and withdraw his troops in peace...... What's more, Zhao Wuxian is not the only one over there, the Wei clan will send a large army to escort it, and Han Hu, the head of the Han family, will also arrive later. Moreover, the king set out in the name of going to the old Jiang to inspect and worship his ancestors, and he will never leave any stains on the history books. ”
The relationship between Wei Hao and Jin Houwu was not as close as that of the Zhi family, and they only pinched their noses together because they were grasshoppers on the same rope. Wei needed a proper name to give himself a little more bargaining chips; For the monarch, the old patron has fallen, and he needs a new one to rely on to avoid being humiliated by the rebellious ministers and thieves from the east.
Therefore, Zhao Wuxian set up a banquet in Jiujiang, and Wei Hao had to go to the meeting, but he was afraid of accidents, so he simply held a "suburban welcome" and moved Jin Hou out. Although the Jin court has been swept away, the Marquis of Jin still has a trace of weight in the minds of the Jin people, and he does not believe that Zhao Wuxian dares to cross the last obstacle of etiquette. In that case, the periphery of the Zhao clan, which had just been pacified, would be entangled in a new anti-Zhao alliance, and the opposition of the people would come one after another, which is why the secretaries of state would rather override the monarch than replace it without permission.
Although Jin Houwu still muttered and complained, saying that it was freezing on this day, he had to suffer like this, and this suburb had gone too far! But he obediently got into the car and followed the Wei army to the east.
From the new Jiang to the old Jiang, if you go slowly, you can't get there in a day, they rest in the camp by the muddy water on the first night, the sound of the Hun River is very special, it will also make a sound when it does not flow, and the reflection is particularly loud in Wei Lu's ears.
Wei Hao comforted the Marquis of Jin who retreated and wanted to return to Xinjiang, so he left the big tent and summoned his son Wei Ju to discuss the countermeasures for tomorrow's negotiations.
……
It turned out that Wei Ju saw that Zhao Wuxian stopped in Jiujiang, he was not at ease, and also took the Wei army to be stationed in the east of it in case of accidents.
"Why did my father bring the king?"
"The monarch is here, and there will be an arbitrator when the three secretaries meet, and the result will be decided by the monarch, and the two foreign families have nothing to say, and my Wei family does not have to be unilaterally coerced by the Zhao family to retreat. Supporting each other with the monarch and winning the recognition of public opinion and etiquette is the only advantage of the Wei family now...... How is Zhao doing in Jiujiang? ”
Wei Ju said worriedly: "After the Zhao army entered the old Jiang, there was nothing to take, and the women had nothing to do, as long as they had ten days of food. It can be seen that Zhao Wuxian has a lot of ambitions, and intends to take the hearts and minds of the people in Hedong, rather than returning to the east of Taihang for independent administration after plundering. ”
Long before the Wei family's rebellion, the Zhao, Wei and Han families had frequent correspondence and written agreements: the Fan's Hedong territory obtained by the Wei family still belonged to Wei, the Han family recovered all the original territories, and the Zhao family's Geng, Xia Palace, and Lou also returned to the Zhao family, and enjoyed the legal control of Dongyang, Handan, and Hanoi. After the extinction, the territory was divided, and the water of the three wells did not interfere with the river water.
Originally, Wei Xuan hoped to defend the valley road to the north, and to the east with the party as the boundary, and monopolize Hedong. Who expected that the progress of the soldiers and horses in the east and north of the Zhao clan was beyond his expectations, and the Wei army did not dare to stop them, nor could they stop them, so they could only sit back and watch them cross this line and approach Jiangdu.
Wei Hao asked again: "This time I asked me to talk, what is Zhao Wuxian's idea, and how he plans to divide the territory of the Zhi clan and Fan and Bank of China, do you know?" ”
"Kid doesn't know, Zhao Wuxian didn't even reveal a word to people other than the core retainers, and he couldn't guess it at all, but in my opinion, he probably wanted to get involved in Hedong."
It is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God, Wei Yu knows that if he doesn't have a little blood, I'm afraid he won't be able to let Zhao Wuxian evacuate Hedong.
He smiled coldly: "Well, since he is insatiable and has won most of the Jin Kingdom, then we will push him again." If Zhao Wuxian asks for land from the Wei family for no reason, the monarch and the Han family will be afraid; If he goes one step further and covets the position of ruler, and such an insatiable person becomes the ruler of the Jin State, the princes of the world will be afraid, and Qin, Chu, and Zheng will be enemies of him. This is what the Book of Zhou says, 'If you want to be defeated, you will be helped; If you want to take it, you will take it'! It is also our countermeasure, as long as his request is not too much for Xinjiang, Laojiang, Zhiyi, etc., if there are one or two cities, we might as well be with them. In fact, this outskirts welcome, isn't it for the sake of arrogance Zhao Wuxian's heart, arrogance and underestimation of the enemy, Zhao's prosperity will not last long! ”
After discussing the Wei clan's countermeasures, the next day, the "suburban welcome" team composed of a first army of Wei soldiers and a thousand palace guards continued to swim up the Hushui River. When approaching Jiujiang, Zhao's light cavalry scouts began to appear frequently in the field of vision, and the ceremonial officer sent by the Zhao family also visited the Marquis of Jin, saying that Zhao Qing was flattered when he heard that the monarch was coming, and he had already left the camp and greeted him in front!
Jin Houwu's face looked a little better, he was sitting in a precarious position, posing as a prince, but his heart was still empty, he hadn't seen him for many years, Zhao Wuxian was afraid that it would be difficult to lower his eyebrows and be pleasing to himself like he was back then......
……
The old Jiang side has also learned that the Marquis of Jin is coming to the "suburbs" to welcome the news, early in the morning of the eleventh day of October, Zhao Wuxian took the generals and retainers under his tent to the west to welcome ten miles.
30,000 Zhao people rode forward, all kinds of flags fluttered in the ranks, spears and halberds were like forests, accompanied by the sound of drums, and they lined up for two miles. Looking from afar, the smoke and dust are filled, and the military appearance is very prosperous.
The people stood on the road, looking ahead, and at noon a convoy came in a circle.
The avenue leading to the old Jiang is excellent, the loess is rammed very strong, there are pines and cypresses planted on both sides of the road, although it has been cut down a lot by the forces of all parties to make equipment, but there are still a lot left, looking at it from afar, among the uneven roadside trees, on the wide official road, thousands of guards and turtles are marching forward, such as facing the enemy, and behind is the honor guard of the Marquis of Jin.
Zhao Wuxian stood in the middle of Tu Dao, and when he saw this scene, a past incident flashed through his mind. It was when he was not yet crowned, and a large shooter was held in Pan Palace. When the spring flowers bloomed, it was the first time he saw the Marquis of Jin, and when he saw the gifts of the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period, he was a little surprised and a little disappointed.
He remembered that the tiger of the Qiqi Palace at that time was burly and strong, at least the surface kung fu was also very good.
However, in recent years, the Jin Kingdom has been mired in civil war for a long time, not only the economic difficulties of the imperial court, but also the decay of the office, and even the Qiqi Palace has inevitably reduced its expenses...... So those palace armors now look weak, and they are a little weak even when they take a step.
The car of the Marquis of Jin is a six-horse driving wheel, gorgeous and solemn car, made of hardwood throughout, covered with bronze components, with a canopy, which is the heavy treasure of the Jin Kingdom, the famous "car of the road". The car carried solemn Yi weapons, Qi Yue, which represented military power, and Tong bows, etc., were all "Hou Bo" ritual weapons that Zhou Tianzi gave to the Marquis of Jin one after another for hundreds of years, and the Marquis of Jin brought them out in order to support himself in the scene.
The monarch, who had grown a lot of beard and had a somewhat pale complexion, stood in the middle of the carriage, holding on to the carriage with his uniform and clearly looking straight ahead, his eyes were impartial, and he happened to meet Zhao Wuxian......
Zhao Wuxian saw fear in his eyes, fear of the power behind him......
Thinking back then, he was just an inconspicuous one of the princes, and the Marquis of Jin didn't even have the interest to look at him, but now, he was a big mountain pressing on his head, and Jin Wu stared at him with worry as if the people of the Qi Kingdom were worried that the sky would suddenly fall.
He smiled slightly, but still lowered his head, letting the Marquis of Jin retain a trace of face. But the idea of replacing it in my heart is even more than before, this is no longer the wishful thinking of a teenager, it seems to be a sweet forbidden fruit that can be picked by just standing on tiptoe and stretching out your hand......
