Chapter 301: Qin Feng Lu [I]
Chapter 301: Qin Feng Road [I]
Mei Yaochen and Qian Yanyuan are a little restrained, the former has just taken refuge in Zhao Yu, and although the latter is Zhao Yu's confidant, they have not been in contact with Zhao Yu for more than three years, and the temperament of both parties will change, so it will naturally take a period of time to re-run. But if you think about this run-in period, it won't be too long.
Zhao Yu smiled and personally took a piece of melon and fruit with chopsticks to the jasper-like Yaozhou kiln in front of him for everyone who sat down.
"The lower officials are terrified!" Du Xiansheng and others lowered their heads one after another.
Only Yang Wei still looked unruly, picked up the melon and fruit, took a bite of the "click", and said: "The taste is really not bad!" ”
Du Xiansheng, Qian Yanyuan and the others looked at Yang Yu angrily, this guy is really too rude.
Mei Yaochen was also dissatisfied, but he was a newcomer, and his temperament was not that kind of sharp person, so he just glanced at Yang Yu and focused on Zhao Yu.
What made Mei Yaochen a little strange was that the prince did not have a look of anger or embarrassment on his face at the moment, but with a faint smile.
If you can hide the anger in your heart well, it is impossible to hide it to this extent? At most, it's expressionless, what's wrong?
"Lord Wang!" Not only Mei Yaochen noticed Zhao Yu's expression at the moment, but even Du Xiansheng and Qian Yanyuan also noticed it, and Du Xiansheng immediately greeted him with a tone full of dissatisfaction, expressing his inner emotions.
Zhao Yu laughed and said, "Shuyu is true temperament, why should you care?" And capable people. Shouldn't there be so many restraints? The most important thing is that you are all friends of this king, so why should there be so much restraint between friends? ”
These words made Yang Yu a little stupid. He is not inferior, but he also wants to stab Zhao Yu. Although he knew that Zhao Yu's words were not necessarily sincere, Yang Yu couldn't help but be a little moved by Zhao Yu's words. "It's a faux pas!"
Yang Yu was also free and easy, and expressed his apologies very happily.
At this time, Du Xiansheng and they couldn't say anything, but there was still some unhappiness in their hearts.
Just when the atmosphere was slightly awkward, Zhao Xun opened the wooden door. Walked in with a smile. "Lord Wang, is the cold dish okay?"
"The food in Jingyuan Building is really extraordinary, and it deserves to be the head of the Jingzhao Mansion store. Thank you for taking such a pains to entertain! This king tasted such delicious Shaanxi food! Zhao Yu said with admiration.
"So you can rest assured." Zhao Xun replied with a smile, and walked into the hall with a light pace, revealing four people behind him. They all wore civilian clothes.
Zhao Yu recognized the person in front of him at a glance. It's Wang Jue, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, still so mighty. If there is anything different from the past, it is probably that the temperament is a little more iron-blooded, and there is a scar on the forehead, which should have been grazed by flying arrows.
"Lord Wang!" Wang Qi's voice trembled slightly, but it was more joyful.
"Coming? Have a seat! Zhao Yu showed a faint smile, and his eyes were gentle.
"The last general Yongping Village imprisoned Shi Ji to meet the prince!"
"The last general, Wang Hengping, the governor of Longzhou, visited the prince!"
"The last general, Liu Jizong, the border supervisor along Jingyuan Road, visited the prince!"
The latter three naturally can't be as casual as Wang Qi. There is no shortage of etiquette.
Zhao Yu smiled and gestured, "I can get to know you." It's a real pleasure, so let's all sit down! ”
It was a large round table, but it was not very high, so the diners sat on their knees. This made Zhao Yu a little unaccustomed, but it was full of antique flavor, giving people the illusion of returning to the Han Dynasty.
Zhao Xun and Wang Qi took the lead in sitting down, and the other three also sat down one after another when they saw this.
Wang Qi and the others had already introduced themselves at the time of entry, and at this time, they sat down, and Du Xiansheng also introduced themselves.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhao Yu looked at Shi Ji.
At this moment, Shi Ji was wearing a cyan round-necked robe, but it could be seen that his family background was not good. Because of the chopsticks, with a sense of caution, lest the sleeve robe be stained with the dishes. And although the round-necked robe is still quite bright, it has been a long time no matter how you look at it. I think that this dress is only worn when I go to the banquet, and the clothes I usually wear are not much better than that.
This made Zhao Yu have a good impression of Shi Ji in his heart, maybe not completely honest and honest, but at least he was also a general who didn't eat much blood.
Shi Ji is not very old, but he is not too young, and he looks almost forty years old. There was a bit of a depressed look on his face, although he was smiling, but if he looked closely, he could see the reluctant taste in it.
Despite this, Shi Ji sat on the side, his waist still straight.
It can be seen that Shi Ji is a person with a very resolute character.
Just met, Zhao Yu did not win over Shi Ji. It is a taboo to talk shallow and deep, especially for a person in a high position like Zhao Yu. It is impossible to accept a person because of Zhao Xun's few words.
However, despite this, Zhao Yu also got a lot of news during the conversation, and also felt that when he arrived in Shaanxi, the difficulties seemed to be much more than he expected.
First of all, from Liu Jizong's conversation, Zhao Yu felt the contempt hidden in Liu Jizong's tone as soon as he came into contact. Liu Jizong gave Zhao Zhen face to everyone like this, so the other generals of the Western Army can imagine their senses for Zhao Zhen.
And Qin Fenglu's status is quite embarrassing. Why?
Because although Qinfeng Road is a border area, it is bordered by Tubo. Tubo was very bullish in the Tang Dynasty, even if the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful, it was not able to Tubo, after the Anshi Rebellion, the capital of the Tang Dynasty Chang'an was once occupied by Tubo, and the Tang Dynasty before the territory in the west, Anxi Duhufu, Longyou Dao, these places were occupied by Tubo.
However, by now, Tubo has already weakened a lot, and the titular Tubo Zampu is not so much a kingdom as a tribal alliance. And the main forces are no longer in the West. Tibetan area, but in Qinghai area. There are not many troops under the direct control of the soldiers, but only about 30,000 people.
Not only that, but he was also a good friend of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to let the Song Dynasty harass the flanks of the Western Xia, and get the war horse from the Song Guyo, of course, it is not free, and the two sides take what they need through trade.
Not long ago, he also had a secret meeting with Liu Huan, the envoy sent by the Song Dynasty, and dedicated an oath and a map of Xizhou, and was named the envoy of the Baoshun Army and the envoy of the Hexi Festival by the Song Dynasty. This move shows that at present, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty are comrades-in-arms in the same trench, so Qinfeng Road is very safe.
The biggest role of Qin Fenglu is to provide food, equipment, and soldiers for Jingyuan Road.
Zhang Shixun and Lu Yijian are not simple, although they sent Zhao Yu to Shaanxi, they were also a little afraid that Zhao Yu had military exploits, and it would be difficult to pressure him in the future. (To be continued......)
