Chapter 109: The Qin Army Invades
At this moment, it is past evening, and the general's mansion is brightly lit, and from time to time there are guards and subordinates, shuttling back and forth.
Lian Po was sitting in the hall at this moment, and at the bottom of it, a man who looked like an officer was respectfully seated, this person's name was Hu Che, who was Lian Po's general, that is, the adjutant general, and the officer who assisted the general in commanding the army, and was under the general.
The two were discussing things when Zhao Fan happened to walk in.
"Well, go down, there's something to report to me." Lian Po gave Hu Che an order, and the former also nodded and exited the hall.
"Uncle, what's the matter?" Zhao Fan saw Lian Po's frowns, and he couldn't help asking.
Lian Po nodded, his mood looked a little heavy, and said: "There is news from Jinyang, some time ago, the Qin State attacked the northwest region of our Great Zhao, and now, it has captured Jiaoyang, and is still fighting hard, and will continue to attack at any time." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Fan didn't care too much in his heart, in the Warring States Period, war was a common thing, and now that Zhao State is in its heyday, there is no need to be afraid of Qin State.
"A few months ago, Li Dui sent tens of thousands of elite soldiers to join the Wei army to attack the Song Dynasty, wanting to seize the Yin Land of the Song State as his own fiefdom, so now my Da Zhao is the time when the country is empty." Lian Po seemed to be aware of Zhao Fan's indifferent mentality, and immediately sneered.
For Li Dui's behavior of ignoring the whole country for his own selfishness, Lian Po actually hated it in his heart. Moreover, he began to enter the military camp during the period of King Wuling of Zhao, and he naturally admired the former who made Zhao Guoguo prosperous. And Li Dui not only besieged the Wuling King to death, but now he is also arbitrary, he shows that he doesn't say it, in fact, he has long been dissatisfied in his heart.
Fengyi is also called Yangyi, Shiyi, is the emperor to the princes, ministers of the territory, Zhao Fan hand on the chin, for this period of history, he also has a study. It seems that the king of Qi Min was originally preparing to raise an army to attack the Song Dynasty, but because of the opposition of the Qin state, the Qi state turned to the Zhao state and sent an envoy to the Zhao state to lobby Fengyang Jun: "The king's body is old, and the seal must be decided early." For the king's concern, if it is in the Song Dynasty, there is no other country. Fu Qin people are greedy, Han, Wei Wei, Yan, Chu Pi, the land of Zhongshan is thin, not as good as Yin. When the present is lost, it cannot be restored. The sin of the Song is heavy, the anger of Qi is deep, the chaos of the Song Dynasty, (de) [De] Daqi, fixed and sealed, one of the hundred generations. ("Warring States Policy: Zhao Ce IV") Li Dui coveted the fiefdom of Song Guoyin (now Dingtao), which Qi promised to give him, and began to support Qi to send troops to attack Song.
But at that time, due to the opposition of the Qin State and the United Wei State to attack the Qi State, the Qi State was forced to give up attacking the Song State, but that passage has always been imprinted in Li Dui's mind, so in the past few years, he has been sending troops to attack the Song Dynasty, wanting to seize the land of Song Yin as a Yangyi.
"In this way, then the invasion of my Great Zhao by the Qin State is really not to be underestimated, I don't know what the King of Zhao and the ministers of the court think." Zhao Fan frowned and asked, Qin State took advantage of the emptiness in Zhao State to send troops to attack Zhao, which was indeed a great threat to the former. The combat power and national strength of the Qin State, after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, had already reached the strongest existence among the Seven Kingdoms, and it could not be underestimated at all.
Lian Po was silent for a moment and said, "Li Dui means to send me or Wei Biao to lead an elite army to fight against the Qin army, so I just asked my general Hu Che to discuss relevant matters." ”
He did not say that King Zhao and the ministers of the court but Li Dui, from here, it is not difficult to see that the current King Zhao has no real power at all, and important matters are decided by Li Dui.
"Uncle thinks Li Dui will send which of the two of you will go?" Although Zhao Fan had guessed the result in his heart, he still asked in a low voice in order to be sure.
Lian Po smiled slightly and said: "Wei Biao is a capable general under Li Dui, and he has always supported Li Dui, so this time he sent troops to resist the Qin army, and he must have sent me." I'm naturally not afraid of leading troops to fight and fighting with the Qin army, but you've only been here for a few days, and I'm going to go on an expedition, which is really ......."
"It's okay, uncle puts state affairs first, can the little nephew not support it, if you want to lead an expedition against the Qin army, then we can go back to Cloud City in a few days."
Zhao Fan and the others were forced to leave just a few days after they came, and Lian Po was not very happy in his heart, so he immediately said: "Isn't this still a decision to send me?" Let's play in Handan for a few days with peace of mind, and it's not too late to wait for the appointment of the king before leaving. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Fan also nodded with a wry smile, and at this moment, his heart moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered what happened in the barracks today, and immediately reported the matter of fighting with Wei Liangsan to Lian Po.
After listening to him, Lian Po's face was extremely calm, and he said lightly: "I know this Wei Liang, his swordsmanship is indeed quite subtle as Fu'er said, are you sure to defeat him?" ”
"Yes!" Zhao Fan said in a firm tone, although it was only a simple word, it also revealed the strong confidence in his heart.
Lian Po showed a touch of praise on his face, nodded and said: "In the barracks, strength is respected, and provocations and brawls happen from time to time, so don't be afraid of others making trouble, I won't interfere in this kind of thing of yours, you have to rely on your own ability to defeat him and establish prestige." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Fan also agreed, and he didn't say anything to Lian Po about his suspicion that Ye Fei instructed Wei Biao's father and son to find trouble for him, after all, this was just his own speculation, and there was no real evidence, so it was useless to say it.
The two then chatted casually, and Zhao Fan left the hall and returned to the east courtyard where he and the others lived.
At this moment, his mood is not calm, it seems that Handan County, as the royal capital of Zhao State, is not a happy land, and the power struggle is many times stronger than Yunzhong County. He was very confident in his spear skills, but even if he could defeat Wei Liang this time, if Ye Fei really asked Handan's pro-Li faction to deal with him, would he be able to survive under constant provocations and even assassinations?
After all, Ye Fei is Li Dui's nephew, even a general like Wei Biao should give him this face and find a way to deal with himself.
Zhao Fan was in a low mood, after passing a row of old trees, the pavilion where he and others lived appeared in front of him, on the pillars and under the eaves ridge, there were lanterns of lighting, the lights were covered, only to see the roof heavy eaves flying, the treasure top was decorated with a kiss beast and a hook head dripping with tiles, the colors were gorgeous, the style was luxurious. The carved paint of the gate is very exquisite, and the windows are all curtained deeply, revealing a soft and hazy light.
All these scenes, the lights are flickering, making people confused, a feeling of dreaming in a strange time and space, welling up in his heart, Zhao Fan calmed down, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that this era is far from being as simple as he imagined.
At this moment, a person suddenly walked out of the east courtyard, Zhao Fan was thinking about things, and immediately felt slightly startled in his heart, he looked up and saw that it was Xu Jia, and immediately smiled: "Xu Jia, where to go?" ”
"Hehe, it turned out to be Brother Zhao Fan, I was about to go to General Lian to see if he could take me into the palace." Xu Jia smiled slightly and replied.
"The palace? What are you going to do in the palace? Zhao Fan was puzzled in his heart and also asked.
"My father has an old acquaintance, and now he is a guest under a minister in the palace, I haven't been to Handan for many years, and I will definitely go to see him this time, but it is a last wish of my father." Speaking of his father who had passed away a long time ago, Xu Jia's mood also looked a little heavy.
"Oh, so so, then I'll go with you to my uncle."
Zhao Fan knew that Xu Jia's life experience was not as simple as he seemed, and the former was much better than his peers in terms of knowledge and opinions, which was not something that ordinary families could cultivate.
"Is your father doing well with that friend of his?"
Zhao Fan asked in his mouth, but he didn't care too much in his heart, that person was a guest under a minister in the palace, and it didn't seem to be very good, so he didn't ask anything else at the moment.
"Well, it's like General Li Feng and General Lian, so before my father died, he asked me that if I have the opportunity to come to Handan, I must go to see this uncle of mine."
The two walked towards the hall.
At this moment, Lian Po was still sitting alone in the hall, seemingly thinking about sending troops to resist the Qin army. He has been in the army for more than 20 years, and he is naturally not afraid of this war, but he feels a little ashamed of Li Feng, Zhao Fan and others who have been running all the way for more than ten days before they arrived, and now it has only been a few days, and he wants to go back to Cloud City, and he really feels that he has not been greeted in place.
"Uncle." Zhao Fan and the others walked in and woke Lian Po up from his contemplation.
"What's the matter?" Lian Po saw Zhao Fan walking in with Xu Jia, and immediately asked with a smile.
"Uncle, that's the case, Xu Jia has a ......" Hearing this, Zhao Fan also told Lian Po what Xu Jia said just now.
"Oh, it's not difficult to take you into the palace, I don't know which official's doorman he is." There was no emotional change on Lian Po's face, and he didn't have any contempt because the person Xu Jia was looking for was just a doorman raised by others.
He is not a person who only looks at his status and status, and doormen are not uncommon in this era, although they are slaves on the surface, but among these people, many of them are talented people, such as Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Shang Ying, at first they were just a small doorman.
"It's the eunuch order in the palace, Miao Xian." Xu Jia replied.
