Chapter 1216: Invitation to Xianyang

On the sixth day of December, Zhao Hongrun received an invitation from Xianyang - King Qin invited him to a banquet in Xianyang.

This invitation means that Wei's envoy Du You has convinced the King of Qin, and it means that Qin and Wei will abandon their previous differences and become an alliance.

Generally speaking, it is good, but it is also inevitable that the King of Qin and the nobles of Xianyang will give him a blow at this banquet. After all, Zhao Hongrun did force Qin into a bit of misery some time ago.

"There is no such thing as a good feast..."

Under Que'er's service, Zhao Hongrun complained while changing his clothes.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and called Wei Jiao, the chief of the clan guard who was waiting outside the door, in, and asked, "Is Yangquan Jun Yingbo still in the prison?"

"Yes." Wei Jiao looked at His Highness with confusion.

It turned out that on the day when Weiyang Jun Yinghua ambushed the Wei army but was ambushed by the Wei army, Yangquan Jun Yingbo, who was guarding Lantian, was also implicated. After noticing the Wei army's strange withdrawal, this person tried to wait for an opportunity to pursue the Wei army, but failed. Thinking of it, the Wei army who defeated Weiyang Jun Ying Hua counterattacked, and even he himself was eventually captured by Bai Fangming, the deputy general of the Dangshan Army, because of his outnumbered troops.

After Yangquan Jun Yingbo was captured, the biggest obstacle to the Wei army's capture of Lantian County had been removed. Therefore, the Dangshan Army's brave general Pang Meng took advantage of the situation and captured Lantian County.

Although there was still Lantian Jun in Lantian County who was relegated, this useless person was completely incomparable with Yangquan Jun. When the Wei army attacked the city, they did not think about how to defend the city, but actually thought about escaping.

The result can be imagined, the Wei army broke through Lantian without any effort, and by the way captured and banished the Lantian Lord who was greedy for life and feared death.

Afterwards, Pang Meng sent people to escort Yangquan Jun Yingba and Lantian Jun Yingban to Fenghao. He was about to expel the Qin people in Lantian County, but the timely appearance of Qin Shaojun changed the course of the entire Qin-Wei War. , Therefore, Pang Meng sat in Lantian, waiting for Fenghao's negotiation with Xianyang.

Before King Qin led an army of hundreds of thousands to attack Fenghao, Yangquan Jun Yingbo and Lantian Jun Yingban were escorted to Fenghao.

Unlike Lantian Jun, who was trembling with fear and was relegated, Yangquan Jun's attitude towards Ying Bo was very calm and calm, which is the so-called "Kill or behead, it's up to you." This attitude of being indifferent to life and death won him Therefore, Zhao Hongrun threw the two men into prison in the city, preparing to use them as bargaining chips in negotiations when Qin was willing to surrender.

Unexpectedly, there was a turn of events. Because of Qin Shaojun's timely appearance, the last battle between Qin and Wei did not start. Therefore, after Zhao Hongrun thought about it, he decided to let Qin Shaojun release Yangquan Jun Yingbao, and let Yangquanjun Yingbao go to Xianyang for a banquet with them. "Guide".

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is also a way to show off force, and is intended to tell the Qin people in Xianyang: all the famous generals in your country were defeated by our army.

"Wei Jiao, tell Yulong, and then ask Yulong to tell Qin...Qin Shaojun, um, just say that Yangquan Jun Yingba is imprisoned in the city, he...she will know what to do." Zhao Hongrun looked confused. said.

"Yes." Wei Jiao clasped his fists and retreated. After walking out of Zhao Hongrun's bedroom, he couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, and said secretly in his heart: I hope His Highness's stubbornness will not mess up what was originally a good thing. .

About a moment later, Qin Shaojun, led by Zongwei Gao Kuo, came to the prison where Yangquan Jun Yingbo and Lantian Jun Yingban were imprisoned.

I saw that at this time in the prison, Yangquan Jun Yingbao was sitting upright in the prison, eyes closed, while Lantian Jun Yingban was huddled in the corner holding his head, as if he was afraid of something.

Hearing the movement outside the prison, Yangquan Jun Yingbo opened his eyes, and Lantian Jun Yingban also raised his head.

When they saw Qin Shaojun, both of them looked shocked, wondering why Qin Shaojun appeared here.

"Could it be that we, the Qin Dynasty, were victorious, defeated Wei Gongzi Run, and recaptured Feng Hao?"

Yangquan Jun Yingbo and Lantian Jun Yingban subconsciously looked at the guards outside the prison, and they couldn't help but feel a little confused, because those guards were still the Wei soldiers they knew.

"Young Master, are you also..." Yangquan Jun Yingbo asked in surprise.

Qin Shaojun shook his head and said: "Two uncles, the war between Qin and Wei is over. We, the Qin people, and the Wei people are seeking an alliance."

"..."

Yangquan Jun Yingbo and Lantian Jun Yingban looked at each other, both of them confused.

After all, a few days ago, Qin and Wei were still in a life-and-death situation. Why did the war suddenly end? Or even want to form an alliance?

"Really, seriously?" Lan Tianjun asked in surprise.

Qin Shaojun nodded kindly towards Lan Tianjun to win the ban.

Although in her mind, Lantian Jun was not an ordinary good-for-nothing when he relegated his uncle, but she could not deny that this uncle treated her very well in the past and would often buy some Central Plains knickknacks from traveling merchants as gifts for her.

, which is why Qin Shaojun is curious about the Central Plains.

Because she was curious about the Central Plains, she went to the Wei State in the Central Plains five years ago, and on the way, she met Ji Run, the young master of the Wei State, while hunting together in Chenggao.

"It's so, so good, I won't die, I won't die..."

Under Qin Shaojun's helpless and embarrassed expression, Lan Tianjun hugged her and cried with joy. These days, he was frightened.

And looking at his appearance, even Yangquan Jun Yingbo felt quite embarrassed.

After all, Gao Kuo and other Wei people were standing outside the prison.

It has to be said that even in the Qin State, which has a strong folk custom, not everyone is a strong-willed person who is not afraid of death. For example, Lan Tianjun, who was relegated, is a loser who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

If he hadn't been the biological brother of King Qin Hui, the younger son who was enthroned as Lord of Lantian by the previous King of Qin, I'm afraid he would have been driven out of Lantian by the Xianyang nobles long ago. You know, Lantian is rich in jade and is one of the few fertile counties in Qin.

After appeasing Lan Tianjun and winning his banishment, Qin Shaojun explained Zhao Hongrun's original intention of releasing the two of them, and finally begged the two uncles for help. After all, she knew very well that both her father, King Qin Hui, and Zhao Hongrun were both like that.

A person who cares about face very much, and is afraid of any conflict between the two of them during a meeting.

Of course, the "wanting face" mentioned here does not refer to their personal face, but the face of "their own people".

"I see."

Yangquan Jun Yingbo and Lantian Jun Yingying suddenly realized that they were relegated, and they both expressed their willingness to act as peacemakers.

After all, everyone can see that when the war between Qin and Wei reached this point, in fact, both Qin and Wei no longer wanted to fight. Qin was fighting because of its homeland, while Wei was fighting because of its homeland being invaded by Han and Chu.

attack, but because neither King Hui of Qin nor Prince Run of Wei were willing to take the lead in bowing their heads, the battle turned into a purely emotional battle in the end.

There is no need to continue this dispute over meaning.

However, Yangquan Jun Yingbo also expressed his confusion: "I'm afraid the people of the country cannot accept peace and alliance at this time, right?"

After hearing this, Qin Shaojun pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "That's why His Majesty the King of Wei proposed a marriage between the two countries."

"Marriage? That's it..."

Yangquan Jun Yingbo suddenly realized it and was about to express his opinion, but found that Qin Shaojun looked downcast for some reason and couldn't help but feel dumb in his heart.

Later, Qin Shaojun took Yangquan Jun Yingba and Lantian Jun Yingban to a mansion in the city. After they took a bath and changed clothes, he led them to the city guard's mansion to meet Zhao Hongrun.

Because he had learned from Qin Shaojun about the upcoming alliance between Qin and Wei, Yangquan Jun Yingbo's attitude towards Zhao Hongrun was no longer as tough and cold as before. After all, after eliminating the hostile relationship, his evaluation of Wei Gongzi Run was still

Very high.

As for Lantian Jun, he was relegated simply because he wanted to please Zhao Hongrun. He was really frightened by the Wei army.

In the afternoon of the same day, under the guidance of Yangquan Jun Yingbo and Lantian Jun Yingban, Zhao Hongrun took Queer and Zhu Zongwei, Qin Shaojun and Princess Yulong who wanted to visit the capital of the King of Qin.

Under the protection of a thousand merchant navy troops led by Teng, they prepared to go to Xianyang, the new capital of Qin.

Before setting off, Zhao Hongrun issued an order to Wu Ji, Nanmen Chi, Bai Fangming and other Wei generals who came to see him off: Unless there are special circumstances, the Wei army will suspend any military operations; and it is not allowed to actively provoke the Qin army.

Of course, the generals did not dare and would not disobey His Royal Highness King Su's order, but they were still worried about Zhao Hongrun going to Xianyang. After all, Zhao Hongrun was the backbone of the more than 200,000 Wei troops on the battlefield in Western Wei.

The people of Qin shamelessly set up a trap, what should we do?

However, Zhao Hongrun was not worried about this, because based on his understanding of the Qin people, the Qin people could not do such a thing.

If someone from Qin really dared to attack him at this time, maybe the King of Qin would order him to be executed without him having to do anything.

The hostility towards the Qin people is just hostility. In Zhao Hongrun's evaluation, the Qin people can be said to be aboveboard and aboveboard. They generally have the kind of reckless character of "If they are enemies, then do it", and they are not likely to play dirty tricks.

While Zhao Hongrun was exhorting the generals, Qin Shaojun was instructing a group of cavalry in the distance, asking the latter to bring the news that "Wei Gongzi Run has left Fenghao and rushed to Xianyang" to Xianyang, so that Xianyang could be prepared to receive it——

Zhao Hongrun’s place

His position was one generation lower than King Hui of Qin, so according to etiquette, Zhao Hongrun should take the lead in going to Xianyang to pay homage to King Hui of Qin; but correspondingly, Xianyang of the Qin State must also be prepared to receive the Wei Gongzi warmly, otherwise it would be Qin's discourtesy.

"Tap tap tap——"

The Qin Army cavalry team immediately headed for Xianyang with Qin Shaojun's instructions.

"What are those cavalry doing?" Princess Yulong asked curiously.

Qin Shaojun smiled and explained: "I sent them to notify Xianyang, so that Xianyang can know our movements and prepare drinks and dishes in advance."

"Oh." Princess Yulong nodded suddenly, and then asked: "How far is Fenghao from Xianyang? How many days do we need to travel?"

Qin Shaojun explained softly: "Fenghao is about forty miles away from Xianyang. On normal days, we can reach it within one day. However, in winter, the road is blocked by heavy snow and the roads are not smooth. It may not be until tomorrow evening that we can reach Xianyang."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a slightly contemptuous snort from Zhao Hongrun beside him: "Tomorrow?"

"...time and time again, do you really think I won't be angry?!"

Qin Shaojun turned his head, glared at Zhao Hongrun, and said coldly: "Did I say something wrong?"

"Of course!" Zhao Hongrun glanced at him and said lightly: "We will arrive in Xianyang today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ran Teng, a thousand-man general, led a thousand Wei troops driving horse-drawn sleighs, circled around from the south of Fenghao City, and stopped in the west of the city.

"...He did this on purpose!"

Qin Shaojun clenched his fists bitterly.
