Chapter 50: King Zhao's Attitude
In the majestic palace of King Qin, the Jiaoshou charcoal stove exudes a warm firelight, illuminating the whole hall much brighter, the waiter bows down, puts a few plates of snacks on the table, refills the wine, turns around, and retreats out of the palace door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The door of the info hall was closed, and in the empty hall, only King Zhao, Meng Chong and Wei Ran were left to sit looking at each other.
"The King."
Wei Ran got up to give a salute, and saw King Zhao wave his hand and said, "There are no outsiders here, so these false gifts will be waived." ”
Wei Ran thanked him, sat down again, straightened his sleeves, and said: "Great King, earlier this day, the envoys of the Yue clan and the Qiang clan submitted their credentials together, claiming that my Great Qin sent people to rob the princess of the Yue clan and killed the fifth prince of the Qiang clan. ”
"Oh?" King Zhao smiled slightly and said to Wei Ran: "Wei Xiang said to listen to it. ”
Wei Ran arched his hand and said respectfully: "Seeing that the king asked me to wait here late at night, I must have a plan, so the old minister won't talk much." ”
"Hahaha." King Zhao laughed, nodded Wei Ran with his hand, and said, "Wei Xiang is still so cautious, tonight King Gu only called the two of you, just to listen to your opinions on the day's affairs, but it doesn't matter!" ”
After thinking about it, Wei Ran said: "If we can secretly destroy the marriage between the Yue clan and the Qiang clan, it will be a good thing for my Great Qin, so that we can rekindle the dispute between the two clans, so that they have no time to look east, Longxi can be kept peaceful for several years, and we can also concentrate our forces to deal with the six countries." It's just that the old minister was puzzled, and the envoys of the two clans said conclusively, saying that the murderer who robbed the princess and killed the prince they saw with their own eyes was the Longxi garrison of my Great Qin. After retiring from the court in the morning, the old minister asked the Marquis Meng, and there was no supreme order, if the envoys of the two clans did not lie, then this should be the private behavior of the Longxi garrison. ”
Taking a breath, Wei Ran continued: "The incomprehensible point of the old minister is that Ying Guang, the commander of the Molin battalion, is quite quick to lead the troops, if it is his handwriting, it will definitely be planned and then moved, how can his hands and feet be so unclean that people can seize the handle?" ”
King Zhao didn't answer, and when he saw Meng Chong smiling at the corner of his mouth, he asked, "It seems that the old marquis seems to have something to say." ”
Meng Chong said with a smile: "Actually, the old minister is not very clear, but after the early dynasty, the old minister still checked, the princess that Ying Guang snatched back is named Yu Shu, who has traveled to various countries under the pseudonym Zhuge Yun, and is quite famous, which has attracted countless noble sons, and later Ying Guang met him, and it seems that he is quite favored by Zhuge Yun, and it is natural for the two to have feelings for each other. However, how did Ying Guang know that Yu Shu was Zhuge Yun, and the old minister's ability was limited, so it was unknown for the time being. ”
King Zhao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, the news that King Gu got is similar to that of the old marquis, no matter what, it is a good thing to disturb the marriage between the two clans!" As soon as his voice changed, King Zhao said fiercely: "Empty mouth and white teeth, could it be that if I robbed the princess in Daqin, we really robbed it?" Lone also said that he robbed my pasture! ”
Wei Ran hesitated: "Having said that, the Mengwu army can't return on the border of Chu State, and rashly starts a war with the two clans, once Longxi loses, my Great Qin has no troops to help, then Yingguang is okay if he can hold it, if he can't hold it, not to mention the misery of Longxi County, Xianyang will also face a military disaster." ”
King Zhao nodded and said: "This is also Lone's worry, it is impossible for my Great Qin to admit his mistakes to those small countries, so this battle is unavoidable, how to fight this battle, what do you two think." ”
Wei Ran said: "The old minister will arrange the grain and grass when he goes back, and after finishing it tomorrow, he will march to Longxi one after another." Li Chong of Longxi is a capable official, and he can ensure that he can win Guang and logistics safely. ”
Meng Chong said: "Yingguang's Molin battalion is full of 30,000 people, plus the original garrison, the strength is 40,000, and it is guarded by the wall, as long as the food and grass are sufficient, the problem will not be too big." This battle can be fought. ”
"Good!" King Zhao said with a smile: "With these words, Gu will be at ease, and tomorrow he will entertain the envoys of the two clans, delay for a few more days as much as possible, and let Yingguang have a preparation." It's not too early, so you two will stay in the palace. ”
Sent Meng Chong away first, Wei Ran turned around, stopped Wang Jia before King Zhao returned to the palace, in a side hall, retreated left and right, King Zhao looked at his uncle puzzled, and asked: "Uncle doesn't rest early, but what else is important?" ”
"Alas!" With a long sigh, Wei Ran said tiredly: "There is one thing, my uncle has never told you, when King Wu died of exhaustion, uncle and your mother killed many people in order to protect you from the throne, some of them were innocent, and some were voluntary, but I never expected that we all missed it, King Wu also has a son!" ”
"What?!" King Zhao's eyes widened, his face was cloudy, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
"Who is he?"
Wei Ran nodded approvingly, knowing that his nephew had murderous intentions, and said, "He is the commander of the Molin Battalion, win Guang!" After a pause, Wei Ran continued: "I have arranged several snipers, but unfortunately this son has a big life and escapes." ”
King Zhao didn't speak, he paced slowly in the hall, and Wei Ran didn't make a sound, looking at King Zhao quietly.
After a while, King Zhao's voice came faintly, "Secretly control Yingguang's mansion, see who is coming in and out, don't allocate too much food and grass, just meet your daily needs, let him take care of the border for Gu first." ”
Wei Ran was a little anxious and said, "King, it's better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots as soon as possible, so that there will be a lot less incidents." ”
With a wave of his hand, King Zhao's eyes burst out with a burst of light, and he smiled slightly, as if he had no intention of following Wei Ran's advice.
"The Qin State is getting stronger and stronger under Gu's leadership, even if he is the son of King Wu, Gu has the confidence to let him be used by Gu." Clenched his fists hard, looking at his uncle who was worried about him, King Zhao smiled and said: "Uncle, please rest assured, if that Ying Guang really has a heart of disobedience, he will definitely be crushed into powder!" ”
In Yuzhong City, Princess Yushu's words didn't seem to have played their due role, Ying Guang, as usual, ate well and slept soundly, without worrying about his future at all. As for the ink seal, like a shadow with Ying Guang, the beautiful name said, Ying Guang's kung fu is too poor, and he needs a master to guard, Qiao'er is not angry, and he fought for his princess a few times, and later found that he was indeed not the opponent of the ink seal, so he simply closed the door of the mansion and took Ying Guang to the army to stay.
Dian Jun and the others knew the cause and effect of the whole thing, and couldn't help but worry about Ying Guang, this matter can be big or small, if someone in the DPRK makes a fuss about this matter, just send troops privately, you can ask for Ying Guang's head.
Regarding the worries of the brothers, Ying Guang said with a smile: "You all put your hearts in your stomachs, the two clans outside the gate must have sharpened their knives, even if the king punishes us, it must be after we have repelled the enemy army, if you can get away with the battle, it is not certain whether it is a reward or a punishment." ”
I discussed it with Li Chong yesterday, and the households in Longxi County have returned to the various cities, and the grain, grass and ordnance are also fully prepared, and Yuzhong is like a bridgehead, standing on the border of Daqin, waiting for the upcoming impact.
(I received a call that my father was sick, although I couldn't diagnose it, but I was really anxious, and I had to take my father to see a doctor in the past few days, hoping that the doctor in the second hospital of the Medical University could confirm the diagnosis, hoping that it was a misdiagnosis before.) There is only one update today, sorry everyone. )
