Looking at Song Yun who said "I refused" in an understatement, Huan Hu couldn't recover for a long time.
Although he is of Korean origin, Huan Hu has spent these years in the Wei State and Song County, and has roughly understood the classification of the Wei State's army. "General of the Sixth Battalion Garrison" is the highest-level general in the Wei State.
As a position, its honorary status is equivalent to South Korea's "Bukwon Ten Hao".
However, the Song Yun in front of him refused Wei Guo's generous treatment without any care. Even though it had nothing to do with him, Huan Hu felt a faint pain in his heart - if it had been him, he would have agreed to it long ago.
"Could it be that Song Yun..."
Huan Hu looked at Song Yun with a strange expression, lowered his voice and asked, "You don't...really think you are the son of King Song?"
"What do you think?" Song Yun asked with a smile.
"How the hell did I know?!"
Huan Hu, who had his right foot on the bench, put his right hand on the knee of his right leg, gently scratched his chin with the nail of his thumb, and looked at Song Yun inexplicably, with a thoughtful look on his face.
In his opinion, if the Song Yun in front of him was really the former Song Dynasty's son, then his identity would be extraordinary.
This made Huan Hu think carefully, what was the purpose of the other party inviting him to talk in person?
Could it be that he wanted to restore the Song Dynasty?
At a time when the Wei State is extremely powerful, will it be profitable for me to restore the Song State?
Huan Hu thought uncertainly.
At this time, Song Yun seemed to have guessed what Huan Hu was thinking, shook his head and said: "General Huan Hu misunderstood, Song is not a prince of the old country, he is just an ordinary Song man."
When Huan Hu heard this, he still had some doubts in his heart, and said strangely: "An ordinary Song Dynasty man actually refused the generous salary of a high-ranking official in Wei..."
"Because this is not my ambition!" Song Yun said lightly.
"Oh?" Huan Hu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "I wonder what General Song Yun's ambition is. Can you tell me something about it?"
Song Yun smiled indifferently and did not answer. He changed the topic and asked: "It's okay not to mention those...General Huan Hu, Daliang has not sent an envoy to contact you yet, right?"
Huan Hu was stunned when he heard this, and he took a sip of herbal tea from the tea cup in boredom, as if he was too lazy to answer.
Seeing this, Song Yun shook his head and said: "Although General Huan Hu sent the head of Nangong Yaozhi, who rebelled against Wei, to Daliang, it is difficult for the general to replace Nangong's position... First of all, general
He is of Korean origin. Secondly, the general has committed many evil deeds in the territory of Wei. Thirdly, when Wei and Chu fought, the general was also on the side of the Chu army... Combined with this, how can Daliang trust you to garrison Suiyang?
"
Huan Hu drank tea without saying a word.
In fact, to be more serious, if there was no other way, why would Huan Hu have provoked Wei?
But it was pointless to explain this to Song Yun, and Huan Hu was too lazy to explain.
As for using Huan Hu's head to ask for the title of Daliang, this is just a try. The worst he can do is take his troops and defect to the Lu Kingdom. Even if the King of Lu does not accept him, he can still occupy the land of Qilu and become the king.
Find another way. After all, it is said that the armies of Qi and Lu are very weak and cannot be compared with the Wei army. What is there to be afraid of?
And if Daliang agrees, he will make a lot of money.
But having said that, what did Song Yun mean by saying this to him?
Glancing at Song Yun, Huan Hu said impatiently: "Song Yun, I, Huan Hu, am a rough man. If you have anything to say, just say it directly and don't beat around the bush."
"Okay! It's refreshing!" Song Yun stroked his hands and smiled, then looked at Huan Hu and asked seriously: "Huan Hu, if you want to separate Song County and dominate, you might as well join forces with me."
"Join forces with you?" Huan Hu didn't react for a while. When he came to his senses, there was a hint of shock in his eyes, and he asked with a strange expression: "The joining forces you are talking about don't mean to rebel against Wei, right?"
"You and I are not generals of the Wei State, so how can we talk about rebellion?" Song Yun smiled faintly, and then said with an inducement: "As long as you are willing to join forces with me to resist the Wei army, I, Song Yun, will fully support you."
Huan Hu said with a strange expression: "Resist the Wei army? I'm afraid that I, Huan Hu, will not be able to accept your support."
After saying that, he looked at Song Yun with a strange expression, and thought to himself, does Song Yun really not know how powerful Wei is now? This is like a mantis trying to block the car!
"What are you afraid of?" Song Yun pretended to be surprised and said: "Could it be that you are afraid of that Wei Gongzi Run? Oh, yes, yes, yes, you led the troops to attack Shangshui County... If we were on the battlefield between two
When the army meets you, most likely that Wei Gongzi Run will really not be able to spare you."
"Stop irritating me with your words." Huan Hu snorted, and sneered slightly with self-deprecation: "How can Ji Run think about a little guy like me, Huan Hu, all the time?"
When mentioning this matter, Huan Hu felt a little complicated.
Back then, he kidnapped Wang Ming, the youngest son of the Wang family in Zhengcheng, and originally planned to extort a sum of money. Unexpectedly, he met Zhao Run, the uncooperative King of Su, who in turn threatened Huan Hu.
At that time, Huan Hu was so angry that he chopped off Wang Ting's head in front of Su Wang Zhao Run.
Of course, the result was that His Royal Highness King Su was furious and ordered the Shang Shui army surrounding the mountain to surround and exterminate his Huan Hu party. At that time, Huan Hu lost many of his old subordinates before escaping.
After escaping, Huan Hu became more and more angry, so he boldly attacked Shangshui County as revenge.
But he also knew how to measure his limits. He just ordered people to set fire to Shangshui County to create chaos, and did not kill too many people indiscriminately. He could just retaliate to save some face. If he really offended King Su to death, Huan Hu would not do it.
willing.
Mainly it's not worth it.
As he expected, after he fled to Song County, King Su didn't bother to pay attention to him. First, he assisted King Lu Xi of Qi in conquering Chu State, and then he attacked Sanchuan, Qin State, and South Korea. The scale of the conquest became larger and larger.
, how can you have time to pay attention to a little person like him?
But now, Song Yun used this past incident to threaten him in disguise, which made him very unhappy.
Perhaps noticing the displeasure in Huan Hu's eyes, Song Yun said with a smile: "In fact, I probably won't see Mr. Wei Run this time... His Highness is currently busy with wedding matters."
"Hey, I didn't agree to join forces with you. You are not good at making decisions." Huan Hu frowned and interrupted.
Song Yun heard the words and said with a smile: "You mean, you are willing to hand over the military power in your hands and return it to Suiyang? Well, if this is the case, there is a 50% chance that Daliang will really make you a general in name only. As for the other 50% possibility
Well..."
He glanced at Huan Hu, and the meaning was self-evident.
After listening to Song Yun's words, Huan Hu frowned and thought to himself.
His original intention was to see if he could get an official position from the Wei State, even if it was just a county lieutenant, he would accept it, but the premise was that the Wei State would not take back the army in his hands - this was how he could keep it
The capital of his life.
If, as Song Yun said, the Wei court was only willing to make him a general in name only, what's the point?
Without the army, wouldn't the Liang court be able to deal with him at any time?
Seeing Huan Hu's face change color, Song Yun whispered from the side: "In fact, if you and I join forces, we may not have a chance of winning... Sima An has been transferred to Hexi, and Su Wang Zhao Run is busy getting married... What's more important is
Yes, the Wei State is currently very short of food. Even if we want to send troops to conquer, we will have to wait until the autumn harvest at the earliest, or even around October or November. You and I have plenty of time to prepare."
Upon hearing this, Huan Hu glanced at Song Yun and said with a hint of ridicule: "You seem confident, don't you?"
Song Yun smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "This time the Wei army sent troops to conquer the Song Dynasty. The purpose was to capture the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the Wei army did not dare to massacre in the Song Dynasty... If it just got a piece of dead land, what's the point?"
"Even so, we can't hold on for long, and we definitely can't win." Huan Hu said with a frown.
In his opinion, if Wei insisted on incorporating Song County into its territory, Song Yun's resistance would be meaningless.
Even if the Wei army is temporarily defeated, what will happen?
Wei State has many elite soldiers and strong generals. They have defeated weak generals and ushered in strong generals. Then Su Wang Zhao Run must not be preparing for his wedding all year round, right?
After listening to Huan Hu's words, Song Yun shook his head and said: "There is no need to support for a long time, let alone win. As long as the King of Wei realizes that if he sends troops to suppress the Song Dynasty forcefully, he will only be resisted by the Song people like Nangong Yao.
It is disgusting and will not be conducive to Wei's future governance of the Song Dynasty. This is enough."
Huan Hu frowned and looked at Song Yun, then asked after a while: "What exactly do you want, I'm too lazy to care... I just want to know, what can I get? What good does this do to me?"
"If Daliang sees General Huan Hu's talent and acquiesces to General Huan Hu to replace Nangong Yao and sit in Suiyang with heavy troops, is this a benefit?" Song Yun said calmly: "Only if Daliang sees General Huan Hu's ability
, it is possible for Daliang to consider whether to pardon General Huan Hu for all his crimes, right?"
"..." Huan Hu rubbed his chin and thought.
To be fair, if Daliang was willing to send someone to recruit him, he would never listen to Song Yun and cooperate with him to resist the Wei army. But the problem is that Daliang didn't seem to have the slightest intention to win over him, as if he wanted to kick him away.
Of course, Huan Hu would not give in to this.
"Hey! If I accidentally kill a few of the generals sent by the Wei State, I believe the people on the other side of Daliang will look pretty good, right?"
With the idea that "the worst thing is to flee to Lu Di", Huan Hu licked his lips and finally agreed.
At the same time, Zheng Xi, an official from the Ministry of Rites sent by Daliang to recruit Song Yun, also quickly returned to Daliang and reported the failure to recruit Song Yun to Du You, the Minister of Rites.
Hearing this, although Du You had some expectations, he still couldn't believe it.
He couldn't imagine why Song Yun would refuse such generous treatment?
"What should I do?"
Du You, the Minister of Rites, also had some concerns.
You must know that the Wei State gave Song Yun such generous treatment not entirely because Song Yun led the Beibo Army to help the Wei Army last time, but more importantly, it was to create a model - to combine Nangong Yao, who was also from the Song Dynasty, with the Song Dynasty
As a contrast, Yun subtly guided the Song people to become loyal to Wei.
If Song Yun is willing to cooperate, although the imperial court will not let Song Yun become the de facto ruler of the Song Dynasty like Nangong Yao once did, it does not mind conferring a few virtual titles as examples for the Song people.
Unexpectedly, Song Yun was so ignorant of praise that he flatly rejected Daliang's kindness.
"After two days, I believe that the nobles in the country who have already lost their patience will probably jump out and rush to attack the Song Dynasty..."
Du You shook his head secretly.
As expected, within a few days, the nobles in the Wei Kingdom learned of this incident, and they all petitioned the court to sharpen their swords, hoping to become the vanguard of Daliang's attack on Song County.
This incident caused quite a stir and eventually reached the ears of Su Wang Zhao Hongrun.
