Chapter 116: Linzi
Recommendation votes are really slow to rise, can I ask for votes?
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star.
The night is dark, and January is like a hook. Galloping horses. Fast as a cloak. It's just that the hundreds of horses, with their sudden hoofs, startled the birds in the forest......
Linzi is the capital of Qi, the largest country in the East, although Zhao has undergone the reform of Zhao Wuling King Hufu cavalry shooting, and is said to be strong, but compared with Qi State, at most it is neck and neck, and can not suppress its limelight.
The relationship between Qi and Zhao was sometimes good and sometimes bad, a few years ago, the two countries also joined forces to attack the Song Dynasty, if it were not for the opposition of the Qin State and the sending of troops to attack the Qi State, the Song State may have been destroyed by the two countries. However, in the blink of an eye, the Qi State was ready to join forces with Qin to attack Zhao, and it was really impermanent.
Today's King of Qi is the King of Qi Min. This person is very happy, but during his reign, he has also repeatedly made military exploits, breaking Qin, controlling Chu, and destroying the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Fan led five hundred soldiers and ran all the way. Since Zhao Fan beheaded Tian Bai in public, the soldiers of this brigade have been in awe of Zhao Fan, and they respect military discipline and dare not slack off.
Another day, Xu said Dongsheng, a group of more than 500 people, finally came to the capital of Qi State, Linzi.
On the way to Linzi, Zhao Fan was also a little worried, for fear that King Qi had agreed to Qin Xiang Wei Ran's suggestion and was called the second emperor of the east and west with King Qin Zhao. Because, if this is the case, then the king of Qi must have decided to attack the Zhao State, and at that time, I am afraid that he will not only not be able to enter Linzi, but will also be detained by the King of Qi to blackmail the Zhao State.
Fortunately, the worrying thing has not happened yet, so it also proves that Qin Xiang Wei Ran has not yet convinced King Qi, in this case, he still has a chance.
There were more than 500 people in Zhao Fan's entourage, and the soldiers were all riding horses and holding weapons, and they attracted people's attention when they came from afar. When Zhao Fan led everyone to the city gate, there was a horse cart parked at the city gate, and there were more than a dozen burly and vigorous knights standing behind the carriage.
Zhao Fan turned over and got off the horse, his face was calm, when they set off from Handan, King Zhao sent a messenger, holding the talisman and taking the lead in rushing to Linzi to report, so at this moment, the court of Qi had already learned the news that Zhao Fan and others were coming.
"A visitor from the front, but an envoy from the Zhao State?"
In front of the carriage not far away, a guard with a knife stepped forward a few steps and asked Zhao Fan and the others in a loud voice.
Hearing this, Zhao Fan also stepped forward and said: "Zhao Fan, the envoy of Zhao State, I am fortunate to come to your country, and I hope that the general will give you a good voice." ”
The guard nodded, then turned and walked to the carriage behind him, and exchanged a few words with the people in the carriage, and as soon as the curtain of the luxurious carriage was lifted, a middle-aged man with a high crown came out.
This person has beaded feet, gold and jade on his waist, a high crown on his head as thin as a cicada's wings, silk tied under his chin, a pair of high-toothed clogs under his feet, big sleeves and swings, and he walked to the front elegantly, bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "Han Min, the prime minister of Qi State, greets the envoy of Zhao State." ”
Zhao Fan holds the talisman, representing King Zhao Huiwen, whose status is the same as that of King Qi Min, and he is also a prince. Of course, if you want King Qi to greet you personally, it is also impossible.
However, Qi Xiang, who can send the head of a hundred officials, indirectly reveals that the king of Qi attaches great importance to Zhao State, at least for the time being, has not decided to join forces with Qin State to attack Zhao.
"I really don't dare to be, I didn't expect Xiangguo to come to greet him in person, which really flattered Zhao Fan." Zhao Fan took two steps forward and hurriedly returned the salute.
Han Min glanced at Zhao Fan a few times, although he kept a smile on his face, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a trace of shame. He didn't expect Zhao Guo to send such a young man here, King Huiwen is young and ignorant, is Li Dui also so ignorant?
It seems that Qin Qi's alliance this time is doomed, Han Min said secretly in his heart. At this moment, although he was dissatisfied, Zhao Fan was the envoy of Zhao State, and after all, King Qi had not officially decided to cooperate with Qin State, so the basic etiquette still had to be in place.
Immediately, Han Min also said: "Zhao Fanxian's nephew looks very faced, he should have just joined the company, I don't know what kind of official position the virtuous nephew is?" ”
"Hehe, Fan is just a small brigade commander, it's really not worth mentioning. However, it is Han Xiangguo, a very popular minister, but such a polite corporal, who came to greet my little brigade commander in person, which is really admirable. Zhao Fan smiled with a smile.
This Han Min did not leave any deeds in history, and Zhao Fan also heard of this person for the first time, although he didn't know what the former was capable of, but he came to lobby King Qi this time, so it is still necessary to have a good relationship with a minister like Han Min who can speak in front of King Qi at that time.
"Haha, Lvshuai Zhao is really good at talking." Han Min immediately laughed and laughed. People during the Warring States period, especially nobles with status, paid the most attention to fame. At the moment, hearing Zhao Fan say that he was a corporal of Lixian, the trace of unhappiness in Han Min's heart just now also retreated a little.
"It seems that this Zhao Fan is quite good at talking, no wonder Li Dui will let him come out to make us a big Qi." Han Min said secretly in his heart.
"Hehe, Zhao Lvshuai has been running all the way, I think I'm tired, I have set up a banquet in Xiangguo Mansion to wash the dust for Zhao Lvshuai, what's the matter, I'll talk about it then." After Han Min finished speaking, he changed his words and said with a smile: "As for the soldiers of your brigade, let's camp outside the city first." ”
Zhao Fan smiled slightly and nodded.
Because he saw not far away, there were also about a thousand soldiers, in the west of the city, had already set up camp and set up a village, where the soldiers, extraordinarily tall, wearing black robes, armor on the outside, one by one big "Qin" characters, embroidered on the black flag, standing above the camp, waving in the wind.
This is the escort team of the Qin army, it is obvious that Wei Ran has already arrived in Linzi of the Qi State, and their thousand people are also camped outside the city, so since the Qin army is also treated like this, it is naturally impossible for Zhao Fan to object.
"Xu Ying Xu Xiong, the two of you will lead the soldiers to camp there, and I will take Xu Jia and Han Xiangguo to enter the city." Zhao Fan pointed to the eastern area outside the city and said.
The Qin State's team was camping in the west, and Zhao Fan naturally couldn't be next to them, so he pointed to the empty tunnel in the opposite direction. Xu Ying Xu Xiong has always been Zhao Fan's guard, guarding his safety, and when he heard this, he was also slightly hesitant.
"No."
After thinking for a few seconds, Xu Ying and Xu Xiong also nodded. These 500 people were soldiers under Wei Biao, and there was no one to command and lead here, so they had to stay and command everyone to camp.
Zhao Fan nodded, and then boarded the carriage with Han Min, taking Xu Jia alone and heading towards the city.
Qi is backed by the sea, and it is an old country in the Spring and Autumn Period, the national strength is extremely strong, and it is also the richest country among the seven countries. During the Guan Zhong period, Qi would boil salt to pay back, and had its own set of economic management models.
Zhao Fan entered Linzi, surrounded by a forest of shops, the sound of selling was endless, and its buildings were also colorful and diverse, with bright colors, which was the opposite of Zhao Guo's magnificent slightly monotonous style. However, the population and prosperity here seem to be better than Handan.
