Chapter 77 Forced Maintenance on
The detectives sent to the north kept sending back the news. Zhao's army withdrew to the southwest. The Kang army seemed to be attacking at the end of the rank. Then, it was reported that the brigade of Kang's army was coming to Jingqu City. Soon, Mo's envoys arrived and reported to He Ran that Kang's camp and the number of soldiers were sufficient according to the etiquette of the Allied divisions.
He Ran sent messengers to pay homage, and brought wine, food and property to reward Kang Jun, and invited Mo Zhuo to the city for a talk,
In the morning of the next day, He Ran took a group of bureaucrats out of the city to meet him for 30 miles. Mo Zhu also brought six or seven generals, but there were only 200 guards,
You can't talk about brothers in public, and the two of them bow to each other,
Mo Yu said with a smile, "Yi Jun is really powerful. After all, we entered Jingqu first."
He Ran said modestly, "It's all up to your army to hold more than half of the Zhao army, so we can **."
After talking about the scene for a while, everyone got on the horse and returned to the city and came to the government office. The two of them entered hand in hand, looking extremely intimate.
Waiting for tea in the hall, there was another greeting. Some of the generals brought by Mo Yu met He Ran. At this time, the military division called extremely cordially. After the tea was over, He Ran ordered the bureaucrats to entertain the guests of Kang, and then turned to the side hall with Mo Zhuo.
Without outsiders, the two met again as a brotherly gift. After sitting in the case, He Ran laughed and said, "It's been almost three years since I said goodbye to Chaodu. I want to be a little brother. My brother has always been good."
Mo Zhuo looked at him with kind eyes and said, "It's okay. Brother Yu can't compare with you. In just three years, you have destroyed the Shun Kingdom and the State of Ding Guo. Now you have taken more than a thousand miles of the State of Zhao. The sage brother helped the rise of the Yi Kingdom to make the world amazing. It can be said that it is ancient and modern."
He Ran knew that he was leading the topic to the new policy and hurriedly said, "Shun Guo was greatly damaged by our joint efforts with the State of Zhao before. It was destroyed with the help of Fan Bang. It's nothing. As for what my brother said, hahaha, my brother praised me too much. I just sent troops to help a little and went around the grassland. The main reason is that the king of Fan eliminated the rebellion by himself. As for the attack on the State of Zhao, the younger brother did not dare to make contributions. It was the brother and the emperor who sent troops to attract most of the Zhao army, and then we picked up a big bargain. Hey hey, the younger brother did not dare to be greedy. Half of Zhao Yu's belongings gathered here were sealed and dedicated to his brother.
Mo Zhuo waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary. It's easy to say anything between you and me, but it's better to do business. It's not a small contribution to attack Zhao and your country, especially the capture of Jingqu, which made the Zhao army lose its fighting spirit. Otherwise, it's really difficult for us to fight. Let's follow the previous agreement. Whoever gets it counts, and we have gained a lot. This Thank you and don't accept it."
He Ran insisted, "Even if we don't mention the brotherhood of you and me, Kang and Yi will share weal and woe. This time, you have contributed a lot. We should give some gifts. Brother, you don't have to refuse. This is our king's heart."
Mo Yu said, "Since the virtuous brother said so, then I dare not specialize in myself. Let's reply to the virtuous brother after the empress dowager."
"Hey, why bother? Then I'll take care of it for you first. The list has been written." He said as he handed over a booklet,
Mo Yu turned it over casually and couldn't help saying, "There are so many."
He Ran looked contemptuously and said, "Search all the people's fat and people's ointment. It's strange that such a state of Zhao will not die. Even if these were all were searched by his father and brother when he was in power, Zhao Min should go abroad at the time of the national disaster to help the three armies and the disaster victims, but he did not hesitate to spend so many things from Dingyang. After luck, it can be seen that it is no different from his father and brother. What a Mingjun, bullshit.
Mo Zhuo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if he makes a thousand mistakes. The most terrible mistake is that he thinks he has seen through you, and it is the biggest failure to let Jin defend Dingyang."
He Ran shook his head and said, "My brother was wrong. He didn't misread me, but I misread Commander Jin. He didn't expect that Commander Jin would not be called to withdraw in the end, and he didn't expect that he would commit suicide."
"Oh, it turns out that there is such a hidden situation in it. I don't know it well, but after hearing about the martyrdom of Commander Jin, I knew that Zhao Yu's time was not long."
He Ran looked up to the sky and sighed sadly, "My brother died for the people. He knew that he had become a barrier for me to fight against Zhao, so for the sake of the people to enjoy the blessings as soon as possible, he resolutely gave up his life, so that I... alas..."
Mo Zhuo's lips moved and said, "Commander Jin's compassion is really admirable. People can't come back to life. Don't be too sad." He said so, but he knew in his heart that He Ran was blocking his mouth. He made it clear that Jin Dian died to let the people get the blessings of the new policy, so that he could not persuade him to take back the new policy.
He Ran stared at him and said, "In order to avenge my brother, I want to pursue him after exploring Zhao Wei's wheren is going. My brother may help me."
Mo Yu frowned and said, "You and our two armies have fought for more than a thousand miles, and they are both tired. In terms of the opinion of foolish brother, Zhao Min has only one corner left, and where can he escape? I think it's better not to rush. It's close to the border with Xiping. At least it's necessary to confirm that the two countries will not send troops to disturb them. Pursuit,
"What my brother said is that I'm eager for revenge. Well, I'll send the envoys to stay in the country and Xiping to find out the mouths on both sides."
Mo Zhuo nodded and said, "Brother Yu also sent envoys to lobby. We have to beware of staying in the country. They have been in a good alliance with the State of Zhao for generations."
"With the advice of Qiao Haili, there should be no trouble."
"Hmm." Mo Yu leaned over and lowered his voice and said, "You don't want to go anywhere recently. The Empress Dowager may come."
"She's really passing by." He Ran's heart was pounding,
"When I went on the expedition, the Empress Dowager specially told me that when I captured Jingqu City, I would immediately report the victory. She would come with you to re-determine the border and negotiate and work together to cut the world. That's the original saying. Think about it yourself."
He Ran blinked his eyes and said, "If she wants to say so, do I have to invite our king to come?"
Mo Zhuo smiled and said, "I'm not a message on behalf of the empress dowager. It's just a leak between brothers. You'd better not do anything. Please don't invite King Yi to meet here. You shouldn't make your own decision. If the Empress Dowager has this intention, she will definitely send envoys to Mingzhong City to invite him."
"Yes, yes, yes, what my brother said, I'm a little confused."
"It's strange that you don't get confused. You have provoked so many things, and there is no division between public and private. A minister like you is unique."
He Ran smiled and said, "The delineation of the boundary requires our subordinates to have a discussion first."
He Ran said carelessly, "It's all up to my brother's orders. I have nothing to say."
"It's better to discuss with each other. There is no need to say more about what we occupy. There are many areas that both of us have not been involved in. According to the principle of getting half of each other, let's divide it and allocate what should be allocated, so that they won't get entangled in the future."
The "they" in Mo Zhuo's mouth naturally refer to their respective vassal states. With so much land at once, it is difficult for both countries to swallow them all. It is a common way to support and establish vassal states. First, it can quickly stabilize the situation. Second, this is also in line with the rules handed down by the ancient sages: "I am edict to attack the crime without taking the land", which shows that you are The teacher of benevolence and righteousness, now it is impossible to "not take its place". This rule has been broken for a long time, but it is still necessary to symbolically leave a little land for the other party. This is the truth that Yi Guo's destruction has not occupied its land.
