Chapter 217: Visiting Xue Qian (2)
Zhao Wuming smiled at Xue Qian when he saw Xue Qian's arrogance and expression, and then continued to ask; "I don't know what Brother Xue thinks, who is stronger than whom compared to Zhao Fan and Zhao Yan?" Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Zhao Fan is good at military affairs, and he has been fighting in the north all the year round, and even King Yan has to praise him as a true general. And Zhao Yan is good at scheming, and he controls Anyang with his backhand, and collects all the 200,000 soldiers of Anyang and Anyang's wealth. He also used wealth to open the way to the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military, and Shen Tuxiu's refuge made its power reach its peak. Even if the previous eunuch Ling took refuge in Zhao Fan, sometimes he had to rely on Zhao Yan's snort to survive. As for who is better than the two, it is really difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom." Although Xue Qian didn't know why Zhao Wuming suddenly asked this question, he still replied to him after a little thought.
Zhao Wuming saw that Xue Qian finished speaking, and asked him again: "Who do you think is more dangerous between today's situation and the situation faced by the first king on the day of his death?"
"More sinister?". Xue Qian was stunned for a moment, savoring Zhao Wuming's question, and replied to him after a while: "If you say that it is dangerous, it should be more dangerous on the day of the death of the first king." After all, Zhao Wei has 200,000 Anyang soldiers in his hands, and he echoes with Shen Tuxiu, the commander of the forbidden army. If it weren't for Wuming's trick to let Sun Buer put the generals of the forbidden army under house arrest with his personal guards, and then mobilize the forbidden army with a tiger talisman, I am afraid that the outcome would be unpredictable."
"Don't forget that what really failed Zhao Wei that day was not our capture of the Tiger Talisman to mobilize the forbidden army, but the fire ordered by the previous eunuch." Zhao Wuming added to Xue Qian.
Xue Qian nodded slightly, although he was not used to seeing Zhang Gao, but that time, no matter what Zhang Gao's purpose was, he at least helped them a lot: "That's true, if the 200,000 Anyang soldiers have enough food and grass to besiege Handan, the outcome is indeed unpredictable."
"So until the last moment, you must not give up on yourself, and maybe there will be unexpected reinforcements like Zhang Gao at that time." Zhao Wuming explained to Xue Qian in a pun.
Xue Qian was a little puzzled, and asked Zhao Wuming, "Unexpected reinforcements?" Could it be that there is another reinforcement that cannot be delivered? But looking at the whole world, how can there be".
"Who could know about the accident before the grain and grass of the 200,000 Anyang soldiers were burned to ashes that day?" Zhao Wuming asked Xue Qian rhetorically.
Xue Qian shook his head and disagreed: "Zhang Gao does have a reason to do this, after all, if Zhao Wei ascends the throne, his threat will be far greater than the king's threat to Zhao Fan." Therefore, Zhang Gao's burning of grain and grass has great benefits for them."
"These are all things that can only be thought of after the fact, and how can you know if you have great benefits for others at this time until you wait until the fact? It's just a conjecture to talk about the reinforcements, and no one knows what will happen until the last minute." Zhao Wuming replied to Xue Qian.
Hearing the two words of conjecture, Xue Qian was not entangled, but remembered what happened when Zhao Chong died: "Zhao Qian secretly dispatched 200,000 Anyang soldiers to the outside of Handan City, and joined forces with the forbidden army commander Shen Tuxiu in the palace. As a result, Shen Tu was ambushed, and the grain and grass of 200,000 Anyang soldiers turned into ashes. The forbidden army and the defenders of Handan met the soldiers of Anyang on the city wall, and all the soldiers of Anyang were killed, and Zhao Yan fled to Korea. I don't know how many people were shocked by such a result. At this time, Zhao Fan is about to go south, and no matter how bad the king is, he has more than 100,000 soldiers, which is many times better than at the beginning."
"It's naturally good that Brother Xue can think like this, the eldest brother didn't have any soldiers and horses in his hands at the beginning, and he was able to survive the internal and external troubles. What's more, at this time, there are both soldiers in his hands and no internal troubles, just him, Zhao Fan, can't turn the sky." Zhao Wuming echoed Xue Qian's words.
Xue Qian seemed to think of something, and could only sigh: "Anyway, it's just self-comfort."
"It's not a good thing to be able to comfort yourself and recuperate with peace of mind." Zhao Wuming asked Xue Qian rhetorically.
Xue Qian just wanted to speak, but he heard footsteps, and immediately stopped talking.
Xue Zimo walked into the room and just wanted to salute Xue Qian, but when he saw Zhao Wuming, a smile appeared on his face: "I saw my father, but I didn't expect my uncle to be there."
"Why didn't you go to the Prince's Mansion today and accompany the Prince to the academy?" Xue Qian saw that it was his son who came in, and asked him suspiciously.
Xue Zimo heard the inquiry, and hurriedly replied respectfully to Xue Qian: "Father may not know that the child got up early in the morning and went to the prince's mansion. It's just that he just walked to the prince's mansion and saw that the eunuch ordered Huang Hao to come to convey the king's message, saying that his father was seriously injured, but the state affairs were busy, so he let the child go for a day to replace the king and return to the house to accompany his father."
"I see". When Xue Qian heard this, for some reason, he suddenly felt that only after Zhao Yu ascended the throne, the relationship between him and Zhao Yu seemed to be slowly becoming estranged. If this happened before, he would have come to visit in a hurry like Zhao Wuming, but now it is a busy state affair.
Xue Zimo saw that Xue Qian looked a little lonely, and shouted cautiously at him: "Father."
"Since it's a day off, you can go and play by yourself, and you want to recuperate for your father." Xue Qian reacted when he heard Xue Zimo's voice and commanded him.
Xue Zimo glanced at Zhao Wuming, and then looked at Xue Qian again: "The child is retired."
Seeing Xue Zimo walk out, Zhao Wuming didn't know why his heart suddenly moved, his lips moved and he stopped talking.
Xue Qian happened to see Zhao Wuming's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and asked Zhao Wuming: "Wuming has something to say, but he can't speak out."
"Yong'er is naughty, Zimo is well-behaved. Both of them should have their own wonderful lives. You sent him to the prince's mansion and accompanied Yong'er, which may be a good thing for Zimo's future career, but I think it may be a little unfair to him." Zhao Wuming saw Xue Qian asking, and he didn't hide it and confessed to him.
Listening to Zhao Wuming's words, Xue Qian was silent for a long time, obviously thinking about Zhao Wuming's words: "Unfair?".
"Just like an ordinary child, visit a famous teacher to learn literary and martial arts. Why bother tying Zimo and Yong'er together." Zhao Wuming replied to Xue Qian.
Xue Qian looked at Zhao Wuming, thought for a moment, shook his head slightly, and explained to Zhao Wuming: "My crown prince of Zhao Kingdom naturally has the best famous teacher in Zhao Kingdom, since he can study in such a way, why do he endure the pain of parting."
"It's me who lost my words, please don't blame Brother Xue." When Zhao Wuming saw Xue Qian say this, he put away the thought just now.
Xue Qian saw Zhao Wuming apologize and smiled: "Wuming is a word of concern, how can you blame as a father."
"Brother Xue has an injury and needs to recuperate, I can't bother too much, after Brother Xue's wound heals, you and I will drink for a day to celebrate." Zhao Wuming proposed to Xue Qian, and the intention of leaving at the same time was self-evident.
Xue Qian immediately agreed without thinking: "It is feasible."
"Farewell". Zhao Wuming bowed, turned around and walked out of the house.
Xue Qian looked at Zhao Wuming's back, thinking of what he had just said, and gradually fell into deep thought.
