"Sister Yanran, there are more guests today, we may serve the food a little later, and it's boring to wait, let's play backgammon, I used to look at the chessboard of the Go boss, there are so many chess pieces, Fang'er looks at her head and is dizzy, or Mr. is smart, teach Fang'er to play backgammon, this is simple and fun."

"Backgammon?" Ji Yanran was puzzled, and Xiao Zhao on the side had already brought over a wooden chessboard and took aside the two wooden boxes containing black and white chess pieces on the chessboard.

"Well, backgammon, it's very simple, Sister Yanran may not have been able to do it before, but it's easy to learn."

Saying that, Wu Tingfang and Ji Yanran explained the rules of backgammon, which is really simple and easy to learn, with her ingenuity, but she has already been familiar with it in three or five minutes, and Wu Tingfang, who only kills, is amazing.

Wu Tingfang saw that he couldn't win, so he immediately asked for chess, then he brought beast chess, and then, without that, the small banquet finally started.

In the lobby, the candlelight was shining, and I saw all kinds of drinks and the first dish come up, Wang Li stood up with the wine bottle: "In the past, when Zhao Wei was not founded, the ancestors of Zhao and Wei were both the five wise men of Jin and Wen. ”

"And when the soldiers of the Qin State besieged Handan, all the countries did not dare to send troops to rescue, but the Wei State dared to help our Handan, so that the siege of our Handan was solved, it can be seen that the relationship between our Zhao and Wei countries has a long history, and it has been good-neighborly and friendly since ancient times."

"Today, it is rare for Wei Longyangjun to visit my Da Zhao, my Da Zhao should pay tribute to him with the best friends, everyone, and let us pay a cup to Longyang Jun for my Zhao Wei's long-term friendship over the years, and wish my Zhao Wei relationship in the future as close as a family today, please!"

Wang Li took the lead and stood up to toast. Suddenly, the entire lobby stood up. Raise your glass. Everyone only listened to Wang Li's words, he was really good at talking, and the relationship between Zhao and Wei was obviously not good, but when he told him, it seemed that he had really been close to each other since ancient times.

These words were funny in the ears of Pang Nuan, Lian Po and the princesses, and everyone felt funny, and said that Wang Sili, the priest, was really helpless, and he heard him say that the relationship between Zhao and Wei was so good, and it had been since ancient times!

But listen to him give a real example, both ancient and modern. It is really impossible to refute it purely from these words, but if Zhao Wei is really friendly, he does not mention that Handan of Zhao State occupied Wei State for two years in the past, and Wei State Maling could not control the situation after the First World War, and Zhao State did not fight Wei State less.

Everyone knows it, but at this time, Zhao State really needs to maintain friendship with Wei State to fight against Qin, although it is understood, but no one points out the disappointment here, which is a fool who can be a minister in Zhao State?

"I wish my relationship with Zhao Wei in the future will be as close as a family today!"

Everyone stood up in unison. Each drank a cup of each, but Wei Wenhe in the hall was secretly amused in his heart when he listened. In the future, the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han will return to Zhao, which is really like a family, and at the same time, he looked at the entire lobby, thinking about the promise of the previous guests when they entered, and the generals and Liuqing of Zhao State today are all here.

Just such a reception banquet, this Wang Sili can pull out this kind of specification, this kind of influence is really extraordinary, obviously the entire Zhao State court, up to the king, down to the ministers are already a rare voice.

And the core of maintaining this voice is undoubtedly this celebrity, Wei Wenhe had an assessment of Wang Li when he came, and this way was extremely overestimated, but when he heard Wang Li want to introduce Zhao Guoxiang to him, the original overestimation became an underestimate.

And now, Wang Li gathered the top generals and ministers of the entire Zhao State together, looking at the atmosphere, both the generals and ministers were extremely respectful to him, but Wang Li's image was once again infinitely elevated.

Just looking at this formation, if Wei Wenhe and Xindao are indeed sincere in Zhao State, it is completely feasible for these three Jin to return to Zhao.

The banquet was opened, and then a group of singers and dancers entered one after another, and the silk and bamboo gradually rose, Feng Fei also came to cheer for Wang Li today, but her identity was the finale.

Next, the guests at the banquet came and went, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic in the sound of silk and bamboo.

"Lord Si Li, when Long Yang came, I heard about Si Li's love for beauty, and it is said that my Wei State Beauty Mrs. Pingyuan was also taken into the arms of the adult, so the adult and my Wei State are also related."

"Although the diplomatic relations between the two countries are a matter between countries, but the country is in the hands of our ministers, and there is such a relationship between the secretaries of state, and my Wei and Zhao should be like Qin and Jin in the past."

During the banquet, Long Yangjun suddenly picked up the wine bottle and greeted Wang Li, and whispered to Wang Li.

Wang Li smiled when he heard Long Yangjun's words, he also picked up the wine bottle, and then looked at the favored minister of Wei who represented the king of Wei: "Indeed, as the king said, the relationship between countries is extremely related to us ministers. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly squinted and smiled: "My relationship with your country's Xinlingjun is indeed good, and I don't hide it from you, Xinlingjun sent Mr. Wenhe to Handan, but I sent an invitation to Xinlingjun to come to Handan to discuss matters with me, but I didn't expect him to come with you and Yanran." ”

"Ahh Long Yangjun looked at Wang Li in astonishment, he never thought that Wang Li would say such things to him with just a temptation, and he was extremely surprised in his heart.

Calming down slightly, Long Yangjun asked in a low voice: "But I don't know what Si Li wants to discuss with Xinlingjun?" Can Longyang be smelled? ”

"The matter involves diplomatic relations between me, Zhao and Wei, and the king is the envoy of Wei, so what does it matter if Wang Li talks to the king? And drink this cup first, please. Wang Li took the wine bottle and invited Long Yangjun, and immediately drank it.

"Please!" Long Yangjun followed with a full drink, and then looked at Wang Li expectantly.

Wang Li drank a full cup, and after a little rest, he said to Longyang Jun: "I invited Xinling Jun to discuss the matter this time, and to greet Longyang Jun at the border, in fact, it is for one thing, Jun, since the first battle of Qin Zhao Changping and the first battle of the siege of Handan, the Qin people have not been out of the customs battle for many years to recuperate in Guanzhong. ”

"What does the celebrant mean?" Long Yangjun is not a stupid person, and immediately thought of a possibility.

"Jun Shang guessed right, the Qin people have not been out of the customs for many years, and the injuries of the war with my Zhao State in the past have been almost raised, and he will definitely go out of the customs to wreak havoc as soon as he is injured."

"The Qin army is out of the customs, and I, Zhao Wei, can be said to be the first to bear the brunt, and now my Zhao State is no longer the Great Zhao who crisscrossed the Central Plains in the past, and the Wei State is not the Great Wei of the Wenhou period in the past, and none of us have the ability to fight against the Qin people alone."

"I wonder if Long Yang Jun thinks so?" Wang Li paused as he spoke, and asked.

"What Si Li said is good, after the First World War of Changping, Zhao is not as good as before, and my Wei State is not the Great Wei of the former Wenhou period, most of the former land has been occupied by the Qin people, and none of us can fight against the Qin people alone."

"But I, Zhao and Wei, have a consensus on this matter, shouldn't the celebrant be for this matter?"

"Not bad." Wang Li nodded: "Your Majesty, there has never been a thousand days to be a thief and no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, Wang Li is only planning for one thing, but he really wants to follow the example of Le Yi in the past, and seek to injure this tiger with one blow and remove its minions." ”

"Hezong Breaking Qin?" Long Yangjun exclaimed, looked at Wang Li with a shocked face, calmed down slightly, and then asked again: "If it is a joint column, who is the commander of the joint column, and who is the commander?" ”

Wang Li looked at Long Yangjun, this Long Yangjun is a favored minister of the Wei State, and he is not a fool to be able to get into this position, just listening to his question, it directly reflects his political sensitivity.

"I originally thought that the reputation and virtuous ability of Xinling Jun would spread to the kingdom of the world, although the joint column was initiated by my Great Zhao, but it was best for him to be the commander and commander."

"Never." Wang Li said a word, and Long Yangjun hurriedly stopped.

"Your Majesty, be at peace." Wang Li saw that Long Yangjun's face showed anxiety, and waved his hand again and again: "This is what I thought that day, and Xinlingjun also has a heart, and I came to Handan for this matter, but if this is the case, I think there must be great resistance to your monarch." ”

"At that time, Xinling Jun will even have a problem commanding his own army, how can he command the armies of other countries? Since it is a joint column, if we want to make a contribution with one blow, the nations must work together as one, so we should try our best to eliminate the contradictions in the joint column, so it is not appropriate for Xinling Jun to be the commander and commander of the joint column. ”

"What Si Li said is very true, Si Li wants to carry out the joint column, and it is absolutely impossible for Xinling Jun to be the commander of the joint column and the commander of the coalition army."

Long Yangjun nodded in approval, he is not good at military strategy, but the domestic political means are not bad, he started by suppressing Xinlingjun for the King of Wei, how can he see that Xinlingjun has a chance to come out? Even the slightest sign has to be stopped.

Otherwise, this Hezong is really going to be launched like this, and all countries publicly recommend Xinling Jun as the commander and commander of the Hezong, and the King of Wei has to pull out Xinlingjun, who has been refrigerated and suppressed for a long time, so how can it? With the ability of Xinling Jun and his prestige in the Wei State, he is about to take advantage of this major event to soar into the sky.

"So I thought about it, my Da Zhao is the initiator of the joint column, and the commander and commander of the joint column are still made by my Da Zhao.

"And General Lian Po has experienced a hundred battles, and his soldiers are mighty, and in recent years, he has defeated the 600,000 army of Yan State with fewer victories and more victories, and with him as the commander of the coalition army, all countries must be convinced of his ability."

Hearing Wang Li say this, Long Yangjun breathed a sigh of relief, glanced down at Wei Wenhe, and said in his heart This Xinlingjun is really restless, he is really always seeking a way out, this Wei Wenhe, as the chief guest of Xinlingjun, is extremely capable, if he didn't come to Handan with him, it would be possible for him to plan this matter successfully if he was not careful.

Whether Hezong succeeded in breaking Qin Xinlingjun may not be considered, but once he comes out, it will be difficult to suppress it again.

"Si Li, today Si Li treats me so sincerely, and Longyang should also repay me with sincerity, but about the matter of the combination, it is not my Longyang who can decide, I should send a messenger overnight to send a message to Da Liang, and wait for the monarch's reply and then negotiate with Si Li."

"But in this case, Long Yang will have to bother Si Li in Handan for a while."

"Wang Li, thank you Longyang Jun, if my country's monarch hears that Longyang Junjun is like this, he should also thank Junshang for everything he has done for my Da Zhao, come, Wang Li Jingjun has a cup, I wish this success and can go to my Zhao Wei's side for a big trouble." (To be continued.) )
