When Amutu was persuading Halegoh, Lu Balong also held a banquet in honor of Zhao Hongrun and others in Luocheng and in the settlement area of the Lun tribe of the Sheng people that was full of Wei style.
After the banquet was over, Lu Balong arranged a residence for Zhao Hongrun and others.
I don’t know if it was to show his loyalty that Lu Balong initially wanted to give up his bedroom, but Zhao Hongrun still refused.
Because Lu Balong's bedroom was too luxurious. Like a nouveau riche, the house was filled with gold, silver, jade and other precious objects, which was not in line with Zhao Hongrun's values.
It has to be said that the children of the Ji Zhao royal family almost never build their bedrooms as if they are a treasure trove of treasures. For example, in Prince Su's Mansion, Zhao Hongrun has no control over the bedrooms of the female relatives, but the two rooms where he often comes and go.
There are almost no eye-catching treasures in each room, namely the bedroom and the study. There are at most some wooden furniture, some potted plants, and some ceramics in the room. This is not deliberately low-key, but due to the palace education.
At least the sons of Emperor Wei Zhao Yuancai hardly showed off their wealth or were extravagant and wasteful.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun finally chose to live in the guest room - the simple furnishings in the guest room made him feel very comfortable, at least he would not be dazzled by the gold, silver, jade, and bronze items in the room.
While Que'er was minding his own business making quilts, Zhao Hongrun called the Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao to invite General Sima An over.
After a while, General Sima An, led by Wei Jiao, arrived at Zhao Hongrun's residence - in fact, Sima An's residence was also in the Lubalong mansion, in the same courtyard as Zhao Hongrun, but separated by a manual excavation.
Just a fish pond.
Sima An was not surprised by Zhao Hongrun's invitation. After all, he could guess that His Highness King Su must have something to say to him. After all, there were some things that were not suitable to be mentioned when people were talking too much.
When he entered the house, Sima An noticed the presence of Que'er, and he could see at a glance that the latter was disguised as a man.
If it were the time when he was prejudiced against Zhao Hongrun, he would definitely have some thoughts in his mind, which would probably be to criticize His Highness Prince Su for not knowing what he should do and for taking a woman to the battlefield.
But now, because he recognized Zhao Hongrun more and more, Sima An's heart did not fluctuate at all when the same thing happened.
It has to be said that when the same thing is discovered by human subjective consciousness, the results will be completely different.
"His Royal Highness's attitude in that conference room today...especially the phrase 'kill the envoy to show his ears'." Sima An gave a thumbs up, which made Zhao Hongrun and Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao look stunned.
After all, they had never seen the general praise someone so highly, or even heard of him.
"Where, where..." Zhao Hongrun subconsciously blurted out the words of gratitude. As a result, he felt a little awkward when he heard it, so he coughed and changed the topic: "General, in three days, you and Bosile's cavalry will go first.
The little king is here waiting for the arrival of the Shang Shui Army and the Yanling Army... I will instruct Bosile to follow your instructions, the general."
Hearing this, Sima An's face flashed with a smile that looked a little weird to others.
In fact, he was just a little excited.
Of course he understood what Zhao Hongrun meant by "go first".
"Follow your orders." Sima An clasped his fists and said sternly: "I assure His Highness that after His Highness sets out from Luocheng, whenever he encounters tribal stations along the way, those tribes will fly the flag of Wei and Sichuan.
Luo’s flag…”
"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded, not intending to discuss it in depth. After all, what he authorized Sima An to do was not something worth writing about.
After chatting for a while, Sima An picked up the ceramic teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Hongrun and himself. During this period, he said: "Your Highness, keeping that Haregoch may be a disaster... Maybe it should be
Think of a way to get rid of him?"
As he spoke, he slowly pushed a cup of tea in front of Zhao Hongrun and said in a low voice: "Someone has a plan to eradicate this person in an honest and fair manner..."
"Thank you." Zhao Hongrun thanked Sima An for pouring tea, took the teacup, and then looked at Sima An's serious look and shook his head slightly.
He guessed that Sima An's so-called strategy was nothing more than to find a way to force Halegoch to rebel. If he didn't take the initiative to communicate with Halegoch, and then killed some Sheang people forcefully, sooner or later Halegoch would be defeated.
He was forced to rebel.
But this doesn't make sense.
First of all, Hallegoch is a man of pure moral character.
I remember that when Chenggao joined forces for hunting, Halegoh voted to support the Wei State and was willing to "borrow the road" to the Wei State so that the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo could lead the original Western Expedition Army and today's Anti-Rebel Army
Go to support Longxi.
Later, when Bitatu, the chief of the Jijiao tribe, declared war on Wei, Halegoh also firmly opposed it. At that time, even Lu Balong, Meng Liang and others were killed by the chief of the Black Sheep tribe.
Tu was persuaded and chose Wei to start the war, but Halegoh, the chief of the Aries tribe of the Sheang tribe, firmly opposed it, and was put under house arrest by the other chiefs for this reason.
Therefore, in summary, both the Baiyang tribe of the Yi tribe and its leader Halegoh can be called "pro-Wei" forces.
What's the point of killing one of your own who just disagrees with you on some local issues?
"Amutu will convince Halegoch, don't worry, General." Zhao Hongrun said with a chuckle.
Seeing Zhao Hongrun say this, Sima An nodded and gave up his plan.
After that, Zhao Hongrun and Sima An gave some more instructions, and Sima An kept them in mind - now he is willing to listen to the orders of His Highness Prince Su.
The two chatted until late at night. Seeing that it was getting late, Sima An said goodbye and left.
On behalf of His Royal Highness, Wei Jiao, the chief of the Imperial Guard, stood up to see him off, but he never came back - he was not a man without discernment and value.
I didn't see Que'er, who had already made the bed, sitting on the edge of the bed with an expressionless face.
"Serve the young master to undress."
After Sima An and Wei Jiao left one after another, Que'er stood up and served Zhao Hongrun to undress.
Of course, nothing too charming happened at night. The two of them just slept on the same bed.
After all, Zhao Hongrun was still in the period of observing filial piety, so he naturally had to exercise some restraint. It was like he just touched his lips with wine at tonight's banquet and did the courtesy, but did not really drink like Lu Balong.
The next day, early in the morning, Bosile, the commander of the 50,000 Northern Sichuan Cavalry, came to Lu Balong's residence to visit Zhao Hongrun. He also held two bloody heads wrapped in white cloth and frightened Zhao Hongrun, who was still a little sleepy.
The ground suddenly woke up.
After asking, I found out that two envoys had visited Gucheng a few days ago, trying to persuade Guyigu and Bosile to rebel.
At that time, Guyigu stabilized them, and after Bosile got the promise from Zhao Hongrun, he immediately killed the two envoys after returning to Gucheng.
It has to be said that "beheading an envoy" is a very serious and humiliating thing. Just like Zhao Hongrun ordered people to behead the envoy sent by King Wusu, that is, Yin Dunbi, the youngest son of King Wusu. This means
Then, there would be no room for maneuver between him and Wu Xu Wang Ting.
Bosile also killed the envoys sent by the Wusu Royal Court and the Qin State, which also proved that he was firmly on the side of the Wei State and was willing to be the lackey of the Wei State for the sake of the tribe.
For this, Zhao Hongrun naturally wanted to commend him.
Two days later, on September 16, the "three-day period" had expired. With the attention of the whole city of Luocheng, Zhao Hongrun appointed General Sima An as the vanguard officer and Bosile as the vanguard deputy general, leading 2,500 Dangshan troops.
The cavalry and 50,000 northern Sichuan cavalry officially began to sweep through Sanchuan.
Since the mission of this vanguard army was somewhat special, Zhao Hongrun did not hold a swearing-in ceremony. Instead, the 52,500 cavalrymen went around Luocheng out of respect for their commander, King Su Zhao Hongrun.
, and immediately headed straight to the hinterland of Sanchuan.
At that time, thousands of horses galloping were not enough to describe the majestic and majestic scene. I could only see these cavalry flying one after another, stretching as far as the eye could see, like a vast ocean.
"dispersion!"
After waiting about ten miles away, Bosile raised his right arm and shouted loudly. Suddenly, the 50,000 Northern Sichuan cavalry were divided into five groups from one group, and then divided into dozens of groups from the five groups, slowly spreading towards
Go northwest, west, southwest, etc.
In the end, only the 2,500 Dangshan cavalry led by General Sima An and about 2,000 Northern Sichuan cavalry led by Bosile were left in the team.
"In that direction, there is a tribe where the Yi people and the Jie people live together, which is the closest to us..."
While running, Bosile pointed in the west direction and shouted to Sima An.
General Sima An glanced at the direction Bosile pointed and suddenly waved forward.
Thousands of cavalry passed by in a flash.
However, when Sima An and Bosile led thousands of cavalry to the tribal station, they found that two flagpoles had been erected at the tribal station, one was hanging the flag of Wei, and the other was hanging
The alliance flag of Chuanluo.
"Next!" After staring at the two flags from a distance for a moment, Sima An said expressionlessly.
Upon hearing this, Bosile pointed to the southwest direction and said in a deep voice: "According to this, about three hours ago, there was a Jie tribe with about three thousand people."
Hearing this, Sima An didn't waste any words, waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!"
Thousands of cavalrymen rushed past without any intention of stopping. The movement attracted the attention of the tribe, causing many people in the tribe to poke their heads out to watch.
I believe that Bosile already knew the situation on the Sanchuan grassland very well. No, after traveling for about three hours, Sima An actually saw a large-scale tribal settlement.
What made his eyes even colder was that this tribe did not see the national flag of Wei or the flag of the Sichuan-Luo Alliance.
"act recklessly!"
Sima An narrowed his eyes and said something coldly.
Immediately, he raised his hand and slowly pointed to the tribal station ahead.
Seeing this, thousands of Dangshan Army cavalry and Northern Sichuan cavalry unsheathed their swords.
"Soldiers, listen to the order and crush this tribe!"
"Whoa whoa--"
Thousands of cavalry shouted loudly and rushed down the slope like a tide, heading towards the tribal garrison in the distance.
