Chapter 75 Zhao Wang shows weakness
On the third day after Wang Jin's departure, He Ran was anxiously waiting for news from all parties in the account. Kong Lin's side worried him, He Gong's side made him worried, Wang Jin's side made him worry, and Xu Tong's side made him worried.
This is a game of seemingly fragmented chess. If you play it well, everything will be over. If you don't play it well, you will be doomed. Fortunately, you have enough preparations in advance. You don't have to worry about the food and fodder at Xu Tong for a while, but you can't hold on for too long. If you don't save him in a month, it will be a big deal.
At this time, Hongqi came in and reported: "The king of Zhao sent an envoy."
He Ran's eyebrows moved and ordered, "Please."
Soon, a man was brought in. When He Ran saw it, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be an old man. Lord Lu has always been good." The person who came was Lu Kang, a servant of Zhao Ming. He Ran recognized this person,
Lu Kang bowed his strength and said, "Lu Kang pays homage to the military division."
"Free gift, no gift, sit down and speak." He Ran looked very kind. After he sat down, he asked, "I don't know what the king of Zhao sent here."
Lu Kang looked bitter and said, "I am deeply distressed by the current situation. I want to invite the military division to drink wine in front of the battle to eliminate the misunderstanding."
He Ran smiled bitterly and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm also worried. It's better for the king of Zhao to have this intention. I don't know when my military division will obey the king's orders."
"After half an hour without objection, my king will be alone."
"Good, I'll be single in half an hour."
The road is too high to say anything, so I got up and left,
Suddenly, a group of generals came to discuss after hearing the news. They guessed the intention of the king of Zhao. Some thought that the king of Zhao wanted to reconcile, some suspected that he wanted to stabilize the army, and some were worried that the meeting would be more careful.
He Ran just ordered them to guard the camp. No matter what the king of Zhao planned, since he proposed to meet, there was a turning point. He really didn't want to fight with Zhao Jun. In that way, even if he won the army, it would be amazing. It would be of no good for the State of Yi. If the State of Zhao was unable to fight again, he could only let Shunguo wait for him to take it. Fishing profit,
Hong Li took the guards to investigate in front of the battle without waiting for orders. After a while, he came back to report that Zhao Ren set several cases in the most open place, which was roughly the same as the distance between the two sides. They would ambush them.
He Ran shook his head and said, "The king of Zhao won't use this as a means. You don't have to worry about it."
That being said, Hong Li and others did not dare to neglect. The bodyguards all crossed the horses at the forefront of the camp, holding bows and arrows, ready to rush out to rescue the military division at all times,
The moment was approaching. He Ran rode the wind to the front of the camp. From afar, he saw that the king of Zhao was slowly coming this way. So he also got off his horse and slowly walked to the several cases set up in the place of two arrows. When he was about to arrive, he stepped up his pace and bowed to several cases before the king of Zhao. He was polite.
The king of Zhao said with a smile on his face, "The military division is too polite."
After entering the table, King Zhao first poured a bottle of wine pot for himself and drank it to show that it was non-toxic. Then he said, "The military master should not doubt that I am."
He Ran waved his hand repeatedly, took the wine pot and filled the two wine bottles. He raised the bottle and said, "I wish the king a long life."
After drinking, the king of Zhao put down the wine bottle and showed blame and doubt on his face. He said, "Military division, you and I have known each other for a long time. I won't say anything about polite words. Why on earth is this? I sincerely invite you to defend the emperor. Why... Why did the general suddenly make trouble with us? I didn't expect it. The covenant is still there. It shouldn't have been planned by the military division.
He Ran smiled in his heart, but his face was also full of chagrin. He said, "What did the king say? I was also caught off guard. When I received the general's urgent report, I was also stunned. He said that there was news that the siege of the imperial capital had been lifted, and Xiping had already withdrawn. It was determined that the king was using a trick to trap him. The army is in-depth. Although I don't believe it, the war has started, so I have to rush to rescue it. In the past few days, I have been anxious and want to ask the king what's going on. I have already verified the news of the general. Xiping has already withdrawn the army. Thinking of the previous closure, I can't help but suspect that someone was deliberately If we don't know the truth, it's not that I'm suspicious, but it's too strange.
Zhao Wei was annoyed and said, "No wonder you are suspicious. When I sent the envoys at the beginning, the news I got here was that Xiping was attacking the imperial capital day and night. The military division should know that it was thousands of miles away, and it was inevitable that the delivery of the news would be delayed. During this time, there was also a lazy post report that Xiping had withdrawn and sounded the army, which was delayed for a long time. Just after sending the news back, I have severely punished this group of people who made mistakes. However, even if I learned that Xiping had withdrawn, I expected that they would definitely go and come again. Since your army was on the way, I should still go to reinforce. Because of this consideration, I was not in a hurry to inform King Yi. Who knew that my negligence..., alas, I was closed before. The border gate is indeed to prevent the promiscuous people from fleeing to your country. I don't want these things to cause such a big disaster. It's my fault.
He Ran pretended to be surprised and said, "It's all misunderstanding."
Zhao Min smiled bitterly and said, "Together with the war, the ministers are all untrustful. This is deliberate. Although I don't doubt the king and the military division, for a while, the border gate everywhere was anxious to make the widow's heart cold as ice. In a hurry, I couldn't take care of a lot, so I had to urgently dispatch soldiers and horses everywhere to help. The military division, even the Shun army came to attack together. This... Ha ha, It's a coincidence."
He Ran sighed and said, "God's will is to fool people. Shunguo sent envoys to invite us to attack Zhao several times before. Our king refused to do this injustice, so I secretly transferred troops and horses near Shenniu City, thinking that once Shunguo moved troops, he could help the king when needed. Who knew that there was a sudden chaos here. In a hurry, I had to While dispatching troops to rescue the general, he ordered the soldiers and horses stationed there to exert pressure. Shunguo must have thought that this was a good opportunity for a long time, so he did not hesitate to do it. From the bottom of his heart, I was secretly grateful when I learned about the movement of the Shun army. Don't blame me. In that situation at that time, I could only ask for self-protection first.
Zhao Yu nodded and said with a serious face, "No wonder you, this is really God's will."
He Ran enjoys this serious atmosphere of telling lies very much. It is even more valuable to meet a master like Zhao Wei. The two actually interpreted a long-planned war between the two sides as a misunderstanding, and it seems to be reasonable everywhere. This really requires some ability and shame.
At this point, He Ran knew that Zhao Wei really wanted to resolve the current dangerous situation, and he was worried: "At this point... Alas, I don't know how to explain to the king. Anyway, it's better to stop the war first. I will order all parties to stop their actions." He said, but he didn't mean to get up.
