Chapter 216: Visiting Xue Qian (1)
In the mansion of the fourth prince of Chengwang outside Handan City, Zhao Wuming walked out yawning, looking at the sunlight from the sky and was slightly stunned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoI came back too late last night, and I seem to have forgotten something big.
looked around the house, frowned slightly, but couldn't remember it for a while. At this time, Sun Buer walked out from outside, and when he saw Zhao Wuming, he hurriedly bowed: "See the lord."
"Did you forget anything when you came back last night?" Zhao Wuming saw Sun Buji and subconsciously asked him.
Sun Buer thought carefully and shook his head slightly, and replied to Zhao Wuming: "The lord doesn't seem to have explained anything since he came out of the palace last night."
"In the palace?". Zhao Wuming gradually fell into deep thought, and then seemed to think of something: "What happened to the 30,000 pro-guards?".
"As long as the lord gives an order, he can go to the battlefield at any time." Sun Buji replied to Zhao Wuming without thinking.
Hearing the words battlefield, Zhao Wuming immediately showed a suddenly realized expression: "I almost forgot, Brother Xue was seriously injured, and he should go to his mansion to visit."
"Sun Buji quickly went to prepare some gifts and went with Gu." After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he didn't wait for Sun Buji to speak, and immediately ordered.
Seeing Zhao Wuming's anxious appearance, Sun Buer asked him, "The lord just woke up, should he be?"
"This is true, it's not too late to eat and drink enough." Listening to Sun Buer's inquiry, Zhao Wuming smiled, he was indeed too anxious.
Sun Buer didn't say much, and walked to a room with Zhao Wuming. After a short time, the people in the house brought wine and food, and then enjoyed it.
After being full of wine and food, he got up and walked outside the house, and someone had already prepared a war horse. Zhao Wuming took Sun Buer and ten other guards to turn over their horses and gallop away in the direction of Handan.
When the horse's hooves galloped for a short time, the Governor's Mansion appeared in front of him, and when he looked at the mansion in front of him, he thought of the scene of his first time and space to attend a banquet here, and a trace of emotion rose in his heart.
The guards in front of the mansion saw the person who came, and immediately bowed after knowing Zhao Wuming's identity: "I have seen the fourth prince of King Cheng."
"Brother Xue can be in the mansion?". Zhao Wuming asked a few guards.
A guard hurriedly replied respectfully: "I am recuperating in the bedroom of the house, do you need the villain to go in and report."
"No, you don't". Zhao Wuming refused the kindness of the guards, looked at more than a dozen guards, and immediately ordered: "Wait here."
"No". More than a dozen guards hurriedly bowed down to promise.
Zhao Wuming saw that the guards were receiving orders, so he immediately ignored them and walked inside with Sun Buer.
Xue Qian was closing his eyes in the bedroom when footsteps came. He opened his eyes slightly and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and was suddenly startled and then smiled: "I thought Wuming would be busy for a while, but I didn't expect to come so early today."
"I originally planned to come over to visit Brother Xue yesterday, but I didn't expect that after the envoys of all countries dispersed, I would enter the palace for a banquet in the evening. It was too late so I didn't come, and I asked Haihan." Zhao Wuming looked at Xue Qian lying on the bed and explained to him.
Xue Qian shook his head slightly, looked at Zhao Wuming and sat up from the bed: "How can you blame the importance of state affairs, if Wuming hadn't helped yesterday, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been an arrow wound."
"Brother Xue is in trouble, and it is natural to lend a hand. Yesterday I talked with my eldest brother in the palace, and Lou Fu is about to ignite the flames of war, I am afraid that Zhao Fan is imminent." Zhao Wuming looked at Xue Qian and diverted the topic to mention last night's banquet.
Xue Qian gradually fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking, and then sighed softly: "This matter is an unavoidable thing, how can Dai Yunjun resist if he is powerful."
"The plan for today is to persuade the Gong clan, but the Gong clan has already stated that he will not participate in this matter, although Zhao Fan is the commander of the forbidden army, he has a personal enmity with Zhao Fan. But between the interests of the public and the private vendetta, they will also make a choice to refuse to participate in the war." Zhao Wuming explained to Xue Qian.
Xue Qian looked at Zhao Wuming with some emotion: "If it weren't for the fact that the first king suppressed the clan so badly, why bother to convince the clan with Wuming's relationship."
"The things of the past are beyond our means, and the most urgent thing is how to convince the clan, otherwise it will be difficult to hold on for a long time with the current forces." Zhao Wuming saw Xue Qian sigh with emotion, and didn't want to say too much about the old things in the past.
Xue Qian seemed to feel Zhao Wuming's thoughts, and he didn't say much about those things: "It is really difficult to convince the Gong clan with the current situation, after all, the Gong clan has ancestral training and the oath that the previous king forced Xingping Jun and others to make before his death, how could they wade into this muddy water."
"I don't know how difficult it is, and last night I discussed with my eldest brother to set up the place of battle on the front line of Xindu in order to buy time, and try to find a way to persuade the clan within this time." Zhao Wuming also showed a look of embarrassment when he heard Xue Qian's words.
Xue Qian was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "No."
"Why not?". Looking at Xue Qian's surprised look, Zhao Wuming subconsciously asked him.
Xue Qian explained to Zhao Wuming: "Our troops are not as good as Daijun, and Xindu and Julu are the first line, so the battle line will become long. It will make the already weak forces even weaker."
"If the troops are gathered in Handan, not to mention whether the fortifications are all repaired and perfect, just say that once Handan is besieged. As the king of Zhao, how did the eldest brother send his will to the whole country, and how did he find a way to persuade the clan? “。 Zhao Wuming asked Xue Qian rhetorically.
Xue Qian was dumbfounded, this was indeed a very fatal problem, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a better way.
Looking at Xue Qian, who was speechless, Zhao Wuming's tone gradually softened: "Regarding how to convince the clan, this is the matter of the eldest brother. We just need to train our soldiers well and buy more time for our big brother in the front, and that's what we should do."
"Wuming's words are reasonable, and after the wound is a little better tomorrow, I will immediately go to the Handan garrison camp outside the city to train the soldiers strictly." Xue Qian nodded slightly, this was indeed the only thing he could do at the moment.
Zhao Wuming was slightly worried when he thought of the scene of the Gong clan and Zhao Fan's army marching south, but when he saw that Xue Qian's left shoulder was bandaged, he immediately retracted the words that he was about to blurt out: "You are suffering an arrow wound at this time to recuperate, and you are not the only lieutenant in the Handan garrison camp, I believe that the national lieutenant will handle this matter."
"Speaking of arrow wounds, it's really ashamed, if it weren't for Wuming and the envoys of the Han State in the battle with Lou Fu yesterday, I'm afraid I would have become a sinner." Xue Qian thought of the scene of the battle outside the city yesterday, and his expression was a little depressed. The fifty soldiers of the Handan garrison who went to war, after all, were all trained by him, but he didn't want to be wiped out in one battle.
Zhao Wuming was relieved to Xue Qian: "Things have passed, don't worry about it in your heart, take care of your injuries." After the wound heals, wouldn't it be nice for you and me to lead the army together to face Zhao Fan on that battlefield."
"Okay, just to fight side by side, lead the army to meet Zhao Fan together. I, Xue Qian, even risk my life to heal this wound, if I can't fight because of this wound, I won't regret it for life." When Xue Qian said this, a sense of pride rose in his heart, but when he thought of yesterday's scene, his expression could not hide a trace of loneliness.
