Chapter 329: Peace
Ying Zheng didn't tell Hu Yu that King Zhao was very ill before, but now that King Zhao's condition has worsened and he is critically ill, he can't hide it from Hu Yu.
And the biological father is critically ill, and the first reaction of the daughter is, of course, to go back to visit.
But now that the two countries are fighting each other, the situation is extremely delicate, although Hu Yu can usually play tricks, but if Yingzheng doesn't let her go back, she really has no choice.
Thinking of this, Hu Yu looked at Ying Zheng with a blank eye.
Ying Zheng suddenly broke the contract and attacked Zhao, which also led to the aggravation of King Zhao's illness, and he was also quite guilty about this.
"If you want to go back, go back." Ying Zheng said slowly, "However, you have to agree to a few requests from the widow. ”
Hearing that Yingzheng was relieved, Hu Yu hurriedly said, "What does the king command?" ”
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "First of all, no matter what the outcome of the matter is, you will eventually return to the Qin State and return to the widow." ”
"It's nature." Hu Yu said, "Married to the Qin State, now I am a Qin person, and I am your concubine." ”
Ying Zheng nodded, and said: "This time you go back, and you will do your filial piety for the widow, if there is really something wrong with the father-in-law, you will do something for the widow." ”
Hu Yu said with some emotion: "Yes, keep in mind the concubine." ”
"And." Ying Zheng said, "Now the internal affairs of Zhao are extremely chaotic, and the widows have been waiting for them to negotiate with the widows, but there has been no movement. Why don't you go and negotiate with your brother as an envoy of the widow. ”
"This ...... Really? Hu Yu was puzzled, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid, I'm all talking to my mother's family?" ”
"Hehe, I believe that you will be able to distinguish between public and private." Ying Zheng smiled slightly, "In fact, Daqin's purpose is very simple, as long as Zhao sends an army to teach the Xiongnu a lesson, Daqin will withdraw his troops immediately, and will return the city he contributed to Zhao, except for Luyang." ”
Hu Yu blinked his eyes and asked, "Then what if Prince Qian refuses?" ”
"He won't, and he won't dare." Ying Zheng said firmly, "Everyone knows that your father doted on a dusty woman very much, and then gave birth to Zhao Qian, because of this woman, your father even abolished the previous crown prince Zhao Jia. ”
"If the old man and his old man go to the immortal, the position of King Zhao will definitely cause contention, after all, there are not a few people who are not used to Zhao Qian. This is also the reason why Zhao Qian resolutely does not let Zhao Jia lead his troops to the expedition at the moment. ”
"If Zhao Qian refuses to be a widow, then the widow may find a son who will not refuse the widow to cooperate, and maybe he can stage a good show similar to the heavy ears back then."
"Can you understand what the widow said?"
Hu Yu is so smart, he immediately understood what Yingzheng meant.
The state of Zhao is now extremely turbulent, and if Zhao Qian wants to succeed to the throne smoothly, he cannot be offended everywhere, especially in the face of the state of Qin.
If he doesn't conduct peace talks according to Yingzheng's wishes, not only will he not get the lost city, but he may not even be able to protect the throne, after all, Zhao Jia's power should not be underestimated.
Therefore, Zhao Qian can only obey Yingzheng's wishes, in that case, it will be of the greatest benefit to him.
And Ying Zheng, of course, also wanted to ask Zhao Qian to succeed to the throne, so that in the future unification war, the obstacles brought by Zhao State would be greatly reduced.
How could Hu Yu understand Ying Zheng's long-term plans, in her opinion, these two brothers are good, Zhao Jiazhong is honest and upright, and Zhao Qian is a little prodigal, but he is quite smart and more righteous, and the two of them have their own advantages.
As long as it doesn't cause damage to the Zhao State, whoever is the king of Zhao is actually the same.
A woman's mind is to be much simpler, how did she know that the monarch is made by different people, resulting in a completely different fate of the country.
"When do you want to go?" Ying Zheng asked.
Hu Yu replied: "Of course, the sooner the better." ”
Ying Zheng hesitated a little and said, "Let's ride back on the maple leaf, it's fast." But you'll have to promise the widow that you must bring it back safely. ”
"Hmm!" Hu Yu was both moved and happy, "I will never let it suffer a little grievance, not even my father." ”
The maple leaf is a sweaty BMW that has never been seen in other countries, as long as you have seen it, you must not be able to resist the temptation. However, Hu Yu regarded the maple leaf as more important than himself, how could he let it suffer the slightest damage.
"Wait, the widow will get you two more things." Ying Zheng said that, turned around and went to the study.
After a short time, Ying Zheng trotted back and handed Hu Yu a medicine bottle and a book made of brocade silk.
This medicine bottle Hu Yu knew, and it was used by Yingzheng to hold the Linggu Pill.
"This Linggu Pill has a peculiar medicinal effect, maybe it can allow Yue Zhangzhang to support him for a while and recover a certain amount of physical strength." Ying Zheng said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hu Yu carefully placed the medicine bottle and asked, "What about this book?" ”
Ying Zheng said: "This book is a complete "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", which is far more comprehensive than the remnants of the folk circulation. You take a look on the road, if you can cure your father-in-law's illness, it will be great. ”
Hu Yu sighed, and threw himself into Yingzheng's arms with tears in his eyes.
Although Ying Zheng violated the previous agreement and attacked Zhao State, it was a state affair after all, and women could advise, but they could not intervene, not to mention that this battle should have been fought as early as when Cheng Huan mutinied.
And Ying Zheng's actions at this moment all prove Hu Yu's status in his heart.
Hugging each other means that he doesn't want to part, but the concern for his father in his heart always urges Hu Yu to leave early.
Struggling to leave Yingzheng's embrace, Hu Yu packed up and went to the stable to pull out the maple leaves.
Ying Zheng selected some cronies in the forbidden army to escort Hu Yu on the road.
It was sent out of the north city gate, and the two reluctantly said goodbye to each other.
Looking at the back of Hu Yu leaving, Yingzheng's heart went up and down.
Where will she stand?
Nobody knows.
But the answer will soon be revealed.
As soon as Yingzheng returned to the palace, Ji Fa sent someone to send news that Ou Ping had returned with his clansmen and asked him to go to Lishan.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
At the same time, Jiayuguan.
Wang Jian is discussing countermeasures with Xu Wan.
"General Xu, during the time you were guarding Jiayu Pass, did you fight the Xiongnu head-on?" Wang Jian asked.
"There have been fights, but not in Jiayuguan." Xu Wan said, "The Huns rarely attack the passes, because they will not stay for a long time, and it is unnecessary to spend too much effort, so they are all easier to attack and harass." ”
Wang Jian said: "In that case, it is not easy to lure them to come and attack the city. ”
"Indeed." Xu Wan said, "People don't care about the gold and silver treasures in the city, they only scarce cattle, sheep, grain and grass outside the city. ”
Wang Qian's eyes twitched, and then said: "This is easy to do, the city can't lure them, so replace them with cattle and sheep." ”
"What does General Wang mean......" Xu Wan analyzed, "Let's use cattle and sheep as bait, set up an ambush, and then surround and annihilate them?" ”
"Not bad." Wang Jian said, "If you want to deal with the Huns, the best way is to lure the wolf into the house, I chased it all the way, and realized that taking the initiative to attack is not necessarily beneficial to us." ”
Wang Jian is right about this, chasing the native-born Huns on the grassland or the Gobi will only fall into passivity step by step and enter the rhythm that the Huns like.
If people are willing to fight you, they will ambush you, and if they don't like to fight you, they will just wait for you to get lost.
Xu Wan nodded and said, "I understand, it seems that the king's meaning has been."
It's no longer a matter of sticking to it, but it's about giving the Huns a blow and letting them know how powerful we are. ”
"Exactly." Wang Jian said, "This time, the Huns that the king wants to fight will not dare to attack again." ”
Xu Wan said in disbelief: "This is inevitably a little difficult, unless it is exterminated, but as the general said just now, in other people's territory, it is difficult for us to deal with them." ”
"Extermination may not be possible." Wang Jian said solemnly, "But as long as you are scared, you can do it." At least ten or even twenty years will not dare to invade the Central Plains, so that the king can be given enough time. ”
"Plenty of time?" Xu Wan wondered, "What does this mean?" ”
"Hehehe." Wang Jian stroked his beard and said with a smile, "You can't see that Wang Shang is not an ordinary man, he has great ambitions in his heart, and he will do his best to dominate China in the future, and now, he is making all preparations." ”
"This time the two armies were sent to attack the Huns, just to relieve the worries, so that in the future unification battle, you can give it a go."
"Can't General Xu see that the king has taken over Xiqiang's territory, sent you here, and asked Qiang to assist Daqin in the war, so that he has already settled down in the west?"
Xu Wan is not a rough person, but he usually only has a slight awareness of Ying Zheng's plan, but this time when he heard Wang Qian's words, it was like an initiation, and he immediately blew away the fog in his heart.
"It is said that General Wang is shrewd and sees everything thoroughly." Xu Wan said with admiration, "Today's narration is really like seeing the sun through the clouds, which makes the mouth of the mouth suddenly open, haha, admire." ”
Wang Jian said: "General Xu has spoken, let's make the following plan." ”
Xu Wan patted his thigh and said, "No need to study, do what General Wang said." ”
Wang Jian took out the map, carefully searched for the best ambush location, and discussed every detail with Xu Wan.
————————
In the northwest of the Zhao State, the Great Tent of the Qin Army.
"Second brother, capture the city in front, and then go out of the territory of Zhao State." "Do you think we should adjust our direction and continue to attack Zhao, or should we keep going north and attack the Xiongnu?" ”
Qiang Qi on the side looked quite relaxed: "What's the hurry, Tanma is not reported, the 50,000 reinforcements sent by Brother Wang will arrive tomorrow, and they will definitely bring Brother Wang's instructions." ”
Thorin asked curiously, "Then what do you say Brother Wang will arrange?" ”
Qiang said: "You really can't see it? ”
"See what?" Thorin said humbly, "I just can't see it and ask you." ”
Qiang Yan analyzed: "This time, Brother Wang sent reinforcements, it must be for us to go north to attack the Xiongnu, and it won't be long before General Yang will come over." ”
"Isn't he heading towards Handan, how can he pull out?" Thorin asked.
"Can his men and horses really enter Handan City?" Qiang said, "Look, Zhao Guo will stop him immediately, and put forward conditions to negotiate peace with Brother Wang." At the same time, then King Zhao will obediently follow Brother Wang's wishes. ”
"Are you so sure?" Thorin wondered.
"It's not that I'm sure, it's that I believe in Brother Wang." Qiang Qi took a sip of water and said, "Long before he set out on the expedition, he thought about the results of each step, let's just do it." ”
"Then what will be the final result when we come out this time?" Thorin's curiosity was undiminished.
Qiang Yan smiled and said: "It's very simple, let's march to the northwest and form an encirclement and suppression trend with General Wang Qian, and the Huns who fought will not dare to look at us head-on." If you count the army that Zhao is about to send, these three armies will march north together, which will definitely make them frightened. ”
"Hey, hey." Thorin laughed, "Then I'll see if tomorrow is really what you said." ”
