In the evening of that day, Zhao Hongrun and his party arrived at Xianyang City.
In the winter when the road was blocked by heavy snow, we arrived at Xianyang City from Fenghao in less than four hours. This incredible speed made Yangquan Jun Yingbo couldn't help but couldn't help but get out of the horse-drawn sleigh.
Staring at this simply built sled, he made a sound of admiration from time to time.
Originally, he had been unable to figure out how Wei Gongzi Run got rid of Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi, but now he understands - with this magical chariot on the snow, not to mention the infantry, even the cavalry may not be able to catch up.
.
"Maybe it can be used to deal with Xiqiang?"
Yangquanjun Yingbo thought to himself.
But when he thought about it again, he couldn't help but shook his head: Even the Qiang Rong in the west also understand the conventional winter truce. If it weren't for special circumstances, who would be willing to fight in the winter? And when the weather gets warmer, the people on the ground will
The ice and snow also melted, and the sleigh could no longer run.
In other words, this thing is not as practical as initially expected.
Thinking of this, Yangquan Junyingbo shook his head with regret, and then cast his gaze forward.
Only two feet away, Qin Shaojun saw a Wei girl named "Yulong", who was looking at each other angrily with Wei Gongzi Run.
Seeing this scene, Yang Quan Jun Ying Bo and Lan Tian Jun Ying Ban looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, showing a bit of a dumbfounded expression.
Neither of them ever imagined that Wei Gongzi Run, who was so decisive to the point of being cold and arrogant to the point of being headstrong, would actually have such a childish side.
It has to be said that the snowball fight on the way really affected a lot of people. Yangquan Jun won the ban, but he was fine and was not accidentally injured by Qin Shaojun. But Lantian Jun actually ate a few snowballs with his face when he won the ban.
ball.
At the same time, Qin Shaojun was still glaring at Zhao Hongrun and the maid Que'er who was wearing Zongwei armor next to him. This woman of the same age as them was already hated by Qin Shaojun, and even Princess Yulong was a little jealous of her.
Tasteful, because in the snowball fight just now, Queer was the accomplice who provided snowballs to Zhao Hongrun, so that they were later bullied miserably by Zhao Hongrun with snowballs.
However, Que'er had no objection to Qin Shaojun's hostility and Princess Yulong's displeasure, because she only obeyed Zhao Hongrun's orders.
"Just wait, this matter is not over yet!"
Shaking the snowflakes off his body, Qin Shaojun whispered to Zhao Hongrun with a slightly red nose.
Beside, Princess Yulong raised her fist at Zhao Hongrun like a fox pretending to be a tiger.
Seeing their miserable state with snowflakes all over their bodies and broken ice in their hair, Zhao Hongrun snorted contemptuously and showed a disdainful expression.
Seeing his appearance, Qin Shaojun was so angry that she wanted to explode on the spot. However, the team had already arrived in Xianyang, so she had to endure it reluctantly.
"Report to Xianyang Palace and say... Mr. Wei has arrived!"
Looking sideways at Zhao Hongrun, Qin Shaojun ordered the Qin army guards at the gate of Xianyang City with an angry voice.
The guards did not doubt that he was there, and quickly reported to the team leader, who then reported to the generals in the city, and the news that "Wei Gongzi Run has arrived in Xianyang" was spread to Xianyang Palace.
In just a moment, the news reached King Qin Hui, who was very surprised.
You must know that Qin Shaojun proposed to send cavalry to deliver news to Xianyang during Fenghao, and they had just arrived at Xianyang Palace half an hour ago. However, in this short time, Wei Gongzi Run and the more than a thousand Wei soldiers who escorted him
Have you arrived outside the city?
According to the estimated schedule, doesn’t it mean we can’t arrive until tomorrow?
"It seems that Wei Gongzi Run rushed seven hundred miles in ten days under heavy snow and road closures. This is not a rumor..." Zhao Ran, the chief concubine, said with emotion.
After hearing this, Wei Yang, the commander of Zuo Shu, glanced at Zhao Ran and said nothing.
He knew that Zhao Ran was quite upset about Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi not holding back Wei Gongzi Run. In fact, even he found it difficult to accept that the cautious and reliable Wu Xin Hou Gongsun Qi would commit such a crime this time. A serious mistake.
"Notify the palace chef to prepare the dishes as soon as possible."
King Qin ordered with a stern face.
He knew that Qin Shaojun would never delay the summons, because it was related to the Qin people's face. It was only possible that Wei Gongzi Run did it deliberately, hoping to catch Xianyang by surprise.
"Zhao Ran and Wei Yang, you two go out of the city to greet me on my behalf. Remember not to be underestimated by the Wei people." King Qin ordered back.
"Here!"
Zhao Ran, the chief concubine, and Wei Yang, the chief concubine of the left, bowed and retreated.
At this time, at the south gate of Xianyang City, the city gate had already been opened, and two teams of Qin soldiers lined up on both sides of the city gate as a welcoming team to welcome Wei Gongzi Run.
Of course, this alone is not enough to receive Zhao Hongrun. After all, the latter is not only the son of Wei, but also the commander of more than 200,000 Wei troops in the western Wei battlefield. Even if the King of Qin does not come out of the city to greet him in person, at least Xianyang will The prince of the palace came forward.
However, because Zhao Hongrun arrived suddenly, Xianyang was unprepared, which led to the current situation that seemed like "Qin people were rude", leaving Zhao Hongrun, the distinguished guest, waiting outside the city.
Although Zhao Hongrun and a group of Wei people were standing on the snow outside the city blowing the cold wind at this moment, looking stupid, in fact, it was the Qin people who were embarrassed. After all, in this era of etiquette, if a country is disrespectful, that is It will affect the reputation of this country.
Just like what happened today, if word spread, people who didn't know about it would think it was the Qin people who were deliberately putting on airs.
It is precisely because of this that Qin Shaojun stared at Zhao Hongrun with anger.
Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves in the city, and then, a middle-aged man in rich clothes rode his horse to the gate of the city. After getting off his horse, he walked towards Zhao Hongrun and his party.
Seeing this person, Yangquan Jun Ying Bo and Lantian Jun Ying Ban showed a little surprise on their faces, and said to Zhao Hongrun, "This is Weiyang Jun Ying Hua."
"Weiyang Jun Yinghua?"
Zhao Hongrun, who was deliberately teasing Qin Shaojun, turned his head and looked at the person after hearing this, with a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
To be fair, in this battle between Wei and Qin, there were not many Qin people whose names Zhao Hongrun could remember. Apart from Qin Shaojun, there were only Gongsun Qi, Marquis of Wuxin, Wang Jian, Marquis of Changxin, Weiyang Jun Yinghua, Yangquan Jun Yingbo, and Lantian. If you win, you will be banished, and the King of Qin will return.
Among them, Wuxinhou Gongsunqi was the opponent he failed to defeat. Although he used tricks to get rid of the former, in the final analysis, he did not defeat the former in a real sense. Therefore, Wuxinhou Gongsunqi was the Shouling Lord who succeeded Chu. After Jing She, as well as the former Han general Lian Pi, who is currently white, there are only a few opponents that even he cannot guarantee to defeat.
As for Changxin Hou Wangjian, Zhao Hongrun remembered this person because of his amazing sneak attacks. He remembered that this person was in the north of Changhao Mountain. After using the golden cicada to escape the surveillance of the green crows, he continuously attacked Yichuan, Lu's, and Jianbei. A rare commander with both civil and military skills.
In addition, remember that Yangquan won the ban because of his indifferent attitude towards life and death after being defeated and captured. Remember that Lantian Jun won the ban simply because he held a jade mine in his hand. Remember that the Qin King returned because of this. The King of Qin was as stubborn as an ox.
Only Weiyang Jun Ying Hua was the first general whose name was defeated by Zhao Hongrun, but whose name was remembered by him. The reason was that Weiyang Jun Ying Hua's way of using troops was very aggressive and he was good at controlling the direction of the battle.
In Zhao Hongrun's mind, this type of commander included himself, Qi's Tian Dan, Chu's Jingshe, and the other ones were Weiyang Jun Ying Hua.
Although Zhao Hongrun was frustrated by Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi some time ago, his evaluation of Wu Xin Hou Gongsun Qi was not as high as that of Weiyang Lord Ying Hua, even if the latter was defeated by him.
The reason is very simple, because Zhao Hongrun does not like the cautious and conservative way of war of Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi.
"It seems that your Excellency is Mr. Ji Run, Mr. Wei."
Leading the war horse and slowly coming to Zhao Hongrun, Weiyang Jun Yinghua looked Zhao Hongrun up and down and asked in a complicated tone.
"Exactly." Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly and said calmly: "This is the first time we meet, what advice does Mr. Weiyang have?"
"I dare not give you advice." Weiyang Lord Ying Hua shook his head and asked seriously: "Did you really guess that I would ambush that Wei army?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongrun chuckled and replied: "Didn't the Wei army on the way convey my regards to Weiyang Lord?"
After hearing this, Weiyang Lord Ying Hua's expression changed slightly, but he did not show anger because of it. He just looked at Zhao Hongrun with incredible eyes. After all, he had been guarding Weiyang for many years to deal with Yiqu Qiangrong. Among them, there has never been anyone who made him suffer such a big loss.
At this time, Yangquan Jun Yingba and Lantian Jun Yingban came to smooth things over. After all, they didn't want anything to happen to the alliance between Qin and Wei.
Especially since Lord Lantian was relegated, he was planning to do jade business with Wei State.
About half an hour later, Zhao Ran, the chief concubine, and Wei Yang, the chief concubine of the left concubine, led a group of Xianyang nobles to the outside of the city to welcome Zhao Hongrun into the city for the banquet.
While making excuses with the other party, Zhao Hongrun secretly observed the expressions of the Xianyang nobles, and saw that some of them were resentful, some were indifferent, and some were indifferent.
There was even a hint of eagerness in the expressions of some nobles, which made Zhao Hongrun more confident in his own judgment - he came to Xianyang this time, although these Xianyang nobles would not risk persecuting him at the risk of breaking their trust in the world, but Deliberate verbal targeting is often unavoidable.
When he thought about the letter from Daliang, his father asked him to make peace and form an alliance with Qin, Zhao Hongrun felt a bit ridiculous: Wei and Qin almost fought to the death, but in the end they actually wanted to form an alliance?
However, Zhao Hongrun must admit that if he can win the Qin State into his own camp, then the next war between Wei State, South Korea, and Chu State will undoubtedly be much easier to fight.
As for whether after the alliance between Wei and Qin, the Qin State would overtake Wei State because of its technology, Zhao Hongrun was not worried at all.
For example, screws, nuts, simple gadgets, right? And Zhao Hongrun drew the drawings a few years ago, but until recently, the Smelting Bureau couldn't even make (quantitate) a single screw?
By the same token, even if Zhao Hongrun taught some of Wei's techniques to Qin, the latter would not be able to truly master them in a short period of time.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing. As long as Wei does not stop researching and improving craftsmanship, it will be very difficult for Qin to catch up with Wei in this regard.
Of course, it is too early to say this at the moment. The most urgent task is to negotiate a peace agreement with Qin.
Zhao Hongrun doesn't care about alliances or marriages, but no matter what, he has to rush back to the mainland of Wei before spring tomorrow.
Because Wei's homeland really couldn't afford to delay it.
