Chapter 131: Inhumans Enter Handan
Childe Yiren and his party were very shabby: there were only ten entourages, one in a carriage, one in a wagon, and even a wealthy merchant who was more generous than him when he went out. It is rumored that there are more than 20 Yiren brothers of Gongzi, he is neither the eldest son nor the son-in-law, his mother is low, his position is low, and he is sent as a hostage, purely with the intention of abandoning him. When proton was a convention for national merit, now it seems to be left behind!
When Lian Po saw Wang Ji building a barrier against Zhao's face, he left Wu'an: Wang's actions could not be clearer that he continued to launch the offensive in a disorderly manner. The situation that seems to be extremely dangerous is actually very safe, and the two sides are too close to each other, and there is no room to gather troops and carry out strikes, as if two people are facing each other on the battlefield, and no one can help the other. The person currently in charge of Wu'an's defense is the Wu'an Order.
can be a county commander, especially in Wu'an, which is close to Handan, he must be a royal family member in Zhao State, and his status is not low, at least at the level of Zhao luxury. These people were usually very flexible, and knew that their task was to confine the Qin army to this area and wait for diplomacy to solve the problem, so they sent envoys to communicate with Wang Yi from time to time. He began to send people to say, there is a shortage of water in our camp, and if you can come to fetch water, don't shoot arrows, and we won't interfere with you when you come out to fetch water; Then he sent someone to say, I heard that you are exchanging salt for iron, can we exchange some local products for salt, such as Sichuan pepper? Finally, send someone to say, do you want us to make a secret covenant, if you are ordered to attack the other party, say hello a day in advance! β¦β¦ The more and more bizarre requirements almost amused Wang Di: This is really the character of Brother Gongzi! He did not respond at all. Except for the exchange of peppercorns for salt that was not done (because there is no salt in the army), although the others did not reply, they were also done according to the advice of Wu Anling.
The request of Wu'an Ling, Wang Di also reported to Xianyang, Pi Wan asked him if he could buy a batch of grain in Wu'an, Wang Yi then opened a military market at the source of Fushui in the south of the mountain, sent 100 soldiers to maintain order, 1 out of 100, iron and salt can be traded in the market. The business is still relatively prosperous, in addition to the surrounding towns, there are also merchants in Yecheng and Ningxinzhong, which are as far away as a hundred miles away, come to buy and sell. Seeing this, Wu'an Ling also opened a military market outside Wu'an City, attracting merchants from Handan, Yiyang and other places to come to trade, and also set up several virgin lu. From time to time, the two military markets exchanged ideas, and the merchants' chariots and boats passed along the water, outside the barracks of the Qin army, and even greeted the Qin army on guard.
The message from Xianyang and Handan was peaceful, and Xianyang informed Wang that Zhao was willing to offer the six cities for peace; Handan informed Wu'an that Qin sent Gongzi Yiren into Handan as a hostage.
Pingyuanjun received Gongzi Yiren in Handan and placed him in Handan City instead of Wangcheng. Gongzi Yiren obviously felt the coldness of the Zhao State, and he didn't care, after all, the Qin State had killed so many people in the Zhao State, and it was expected that he would show some open hostility. He led the servants and followed the pedestrians out of the royal city to the north of Handan City.
If the royal city is majestic and magnificent, then Handan is full of fireworks, and the tall and ornate buildings are obviously rich and noble, and most people can only live in small low huts.
The pedestrian led the stranger to a low mansion and saluted, "Please settle the child!" β
The prime minister was very angry and said, "Son, nobleman, you have to live in this hut!" β
Pedestrian: "The son is in Xianyang, a natural high-door mansion, enjoying wealth and wealth." However, Handan is remote, barren and poor, and as for Zhao, the son is willing to enter his customs and obey his orders. β
The prime minister said: "Proton, the envoy of the Qin State, the etiquette should be in the deep pavilion, and the front and rear guards!" Placed in the house, but there is a difference, how to report? β
Pedestrian said: "My Zhao people are simple, there have been no thieves for a long time, if the son is respectful in his words and deeds, he will naturally be fine." May not give up on yourself! As for the food, there is a gift from the king. β
The prime minister was about to protest, but the stranger stopped him and said: "I wish to tell the king of Pingyuan, the minister is in Handan, and I am willing to repay him in Xianyang!" β
The pedestrian said disdainfully: "The plain is going to Xianyang every day, I'm afraid I won't hear the words of the son!" "Salute and go.
Childe Yiren commanded his entourage and drove the car into the courtyard.
The house was low and dilapidated, huddled alone in a corner of the city, who had left it behind. The stranger whispered: "Although this place is secluded, it is enough to be safe." There is a house in the Quartet, what will I prepare? After thinking about it, he also said yes again and again, but said: "Only the son is condescending!" β
Inhumane: "But you have to protect the head, isn't it too much?" Inhuman took the initiative to bring up this heavy topic, which made everyone feel more and more unhappy.
When leaving Xianyang, the king of Qin and the crown prince confessed to the strangers, for the quality of Handan, the fierce and auspicious, Zhao and Qin Xuan and the snake, sooner or later, a battle. But Qin must make peace with Zhao Yuan at present, one is to get real profits, and the other is to give the party a chance to rest and recuperate. If the party develops, Handan will naturally be no problem. For this reason, Yiren must try to delay the time for Zhao Guo's counterattack on the party.
In order to ensure the safety of Yiren as much as possible, Zhang Lu suggested spreading rumors that Yiren was a son of a concubine, and he was not happy, his grandmother was not in pain, and his uncle was not in love, even if Zhao Guo killed him, there was no loss. When the Inhumans left Xianyang, they only carried a small number of materials and personnel, creating the illusion that they were not taken seriously. But all ten of them are wise and brave, and have the ability to protect the safety of strangers in times of danger, but they all seem to be mediocre on the outside.
Inhumans are right, this place is remote, which is both disadvantageous and advantageous, and for Inhumans who only want to hide the truth and are not obtrusive, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages; And it is located in a corner of Handan, in case the situation is unfavorable, it is more convenient to escape. Everyone wanted to understand this floor, and they were all relieved, and they all tidied up their rooms, repaired leaks, plugged gaps, and were very busy.
Although the house is low, it is still the layout of the house, with adobe walls on all sides, one in and two compartments, there are no steps, and the foundation of the house is about half a foot above the ground. There are cattle stables on both sides, a barn behind the house, and a fence in the southeast corner.
The walls of the main hall and the rooms on both sides were completely repaired. The doors and windows were in tatters, making it difficult to keep out the wind. Everyone had to tear down the doors of the other rooms and use them in the main hall first, and then repair the other rooms later. There is a fire pit under the eaves outside the lobby. The thatch on the roof had been blown off quite a bit, leaking out a large area of the sky.
While everyone was discussing how to repair the roof, pedestrians arrived with a cart of millet in tow. The crowd unloaded two large baskets of corns, but there was nothing else. The pedestrian said: "Twenty stones of millet are six people's eclipse in January." May the son receive. β
Yiren said: "Eleven of us, but six of us have a lunar eclipse!" β
The pedestrian said: "If the prince brings a hundred people, will we eat a hundred people?" The city is remote, the land is barren and the people are poor, and the five sons and servants are also its rate. The other dares to hear it. β
One said: "But only 20 stones? Fruit and vegetable sauce meat and no questions, salt and plum also? β
The pedestrian sneered: "Gongzi is really a noble man of the country, and he has just entered the state of disadvantages." But I just have enough food, and I don't smell salt and plums! Everyone wanted to ask again, and the pedestrians preemptively said: "On the day of the Pingyuan Jun to Xianyang, I wish the prince to send him off." When the time comes, please do it! "I gave up my hand, drove away, and ignored everyone.
Seeing that Zhao Xingren was so arrogant, everyone was a little angry. Inhumane: "If he is rude, what is his desire?" "These retinues are also smart people, and naturally they will not be moved by these innocuous and rude behaviors.
When they went out of Xianyang, they imagined that many Zhao people might set up cards and restrictions, but they didn't expect that they would have problems in life. Foreign envoys usually live in post houses, and they are fed and lodging by living in the country; The sending country will also send some supplies on time, which is just the icing on the cake, for the proton to put on a faΓ§ade, and the basic daily needs are solved by the country of residence, which is a diplomatic practice. Unexpectedly, this convention was broken by Zhao Guo! Zhao Guo did not arrange for Yiren to live in the pavilion, but directly assigned a set of old mansions to Yiren, and there were no daily necessities in the house, and even the house was dilapidated! The alien must resettle in Handan, and he originally planned to be a proton, and he was a proton who was unwilling and abandoned by his father! The Zhao people's arrangements disrupted their plans and forced them to reconsider their future actions.
The prime minister said: "Or let out his anger!" β
Inhumane: "If you strive for it, it is the way to die, and it is not enough to take it." β
One of the attendants said: "If you don't fight, what will you do?" β
Inhuman: "But just bear with it!" β
However, a very real problem arises: there is no water here, and there are no large water containers. The crowd had to carry some cans from the cart and go out of the city to carry water. Carrying water in such a small jar attracts the curious eyes of others. Luckily, they lived in a remote corner of the city, and they didn't see too many people. Finally, when the water for the dinner was sufficient, everyone gathered together, lit a fire, set up a tripod, washed the corn that had been sent with water, and began to cook the corn porridge.
The adobe walls are also ventilated on all sides, and they are not very high, so you can observe the movement from the outside. Yiren motioned for everyone to pay attention to the surrounding movements, and asked quietly: "Zhao Ren's trip, what should I do?" β
This question calmed everyone down. said that the inhuman son is the son of the father's disfavor, and he came to Handan to send him to death, and now he is treated so coldly by the Zhao people, if he fights back strongly, then the previous character will naturally be overthrown, and the inhuman son is a pampered noble son, who has been very ambitious since he was a child; But if you are too forbearing, you will inevitably not be considered ambitious. It is very important to grasp the balance of this.
An entourage said: "If the prince shows his talent slightly, but is not willing, Zhao or Rongzhi thinks that Qin Zhi is ......"
Everyone's expressions changed, and they said, "No! β
Inhumane: "I will also go to the city on the day, what is Jia?" β
The minister said: "You and the rest of your life have not run a family, and you don't know the way. I should be Jia Zhi. β
Stranger: "I will send Pingyuan Jun to the royal city one day, where will Qing go?" β
The minister said: "The minister has to have a car alone, and he follows the son!" β
When the porridge was made, everyone took out a little fruit, vegetable, salt and plum left in the materials they brought, rectified it, and ate a meal in the porridge.
