Regarding the whereabouts of the disease, Zhaoju in Wancheng is also very concerned.

"Where's the disease?" Zhao Ju looked at the news in his hand and wondered in his heart.

The people arranged by the Qin State in Hexi and Hangu Pass are all important ministers of the Qin State, but the people who guard the Wuguan are the rookie Wei Ran of the Qin State, and Wei Ran's status in the military of the Qin State, even if the Chu State contributes behind it, is still far inferior to the three of Wei Zhang, Ganmao.

Now that Wei Zhang and Gan Mao have led their troops out of Xianyang, they have been missing for a long time, which has to arouse Zhaoju's vigilance.

"Zhao Guo? Wei? Korea? Or our Chu State? Zhao Ju frowned his forehead, and then ordered: "Someone come, immediately send a messenger to inform the Three Jins, and together they will help prevent the sneak attack of the Qin State." The four countries are united, and if one side is in trouble and all sides support, the tiger of Qin must be put in a cage. ”

"No."

"Send a message to General Zhaorat of Hanzhong to strictly prevent a sneak attack by the Qin army."

"Send a summons to Wujun Shou, and ask him to strengthen his vigilance to strictly prevent Sima from attacking Wujun from Bashu down the river."

"No."

After the order was given, Zhao Ju looked in the direction of the Qin State in the west and said, "I want to see where the Qin State is going to fight this time..."

Next.

When Zhao Ju got up early in the morning, someone reported: "Sima, there is a person outside the mansion who calls himself Qi Rong who asks to see Sima." ”

"Mi Rong?" Zhao Ju's eyes lit up, he knew who this person was, it was the King of Chu who specially pardoned Qi Rong's crimes in order to support Wei Ran's ascension to the throne in the Qin State, and allowed Qi Rong to return to China, specifically to contact Wei Ran.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju perked up: "Please, invite him in." ”

"No."

After Mi Rong came in, he immediately saluted when he saw Zhao Ju and said, "Mi Rong greets Sima!" ”

"No courtesy." Zhao Ju smiled and said, "I don't know what you have to do when you come to see me at this time?" ”

Mi Rong said respectfully: "Back to Sima, this time Mi Rong returned from the Qin State, but he was entrusted by his brother Wei Ran to give Sima a gift. ”

"Wei Ran gave me a gift?" Zhao Ju hesitated in his heart and asked, "Why is this, does Wei Ran want to bribe Ben Sima?" ”

Qi Rong hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't dare." ”

"My brother was appointed by the King of Qin not long ago to guard the military pass, and when he learned that Sima was stationed in Wancheng, one admired Sima's prestige, and the other hoped that the two sides could have friendly exchanges to avoid the recurrence of war. So let me offer a horse, a pair of white bi, and a sword from the prince of Qin, willing to be Sima Shou. ”

Zhao Ju hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Okay, I don't want Qin Chu to fight again, this is also Ben Sima's wish, I accepted Wei Ran's gift." ”

Qi Rong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you Sima, so my brother should also be relieved!" ”

"Rest assured?" Zhao Ju said secretly: Could it be that Wei Ran is still worried that this Sima will not succeed in attacking Wuguan?

Thinking about it, he asked in surprise: "Could it be that this time King Qin only gave Wei Ran a small number of troops to come to Wuguan?" ”

Qi Rong sighed: "Who said it wasn't? ”

Qi Rong said indignantly: "Zhang Yi occupied himself as a confidant of the King of Qin, gave Wei Zhang, who was a good friend of him, 100,000 troops to go to the town of Hangu Pass, and gave Gan Mao 100,000 troops to go to Hexi, it was my brother's turn, but there were only 30,000 people, which is obviously looking down on my brother······"

Mi Rong was still chattering and complaining, but Zhao Ju was thinking about whether the information revealed by Mi Rong was true.

Even if what Qi Rong said is true, the state of Chu is also powerless, the military pass is dangerous, 30,000 reinforcements plus the original 20,000 defenders are enough to hold the military pass.

With the 150,000 defenders of Hangu Pass, even if the world besieges it, I am afraid that there is no way to take Hangu Pass.

As for Hexi, if it is to guard the various crossings of the river, it is barely enough, and if it is to concentrate troops to attack one of the countries in the Three Jins, it is also enough.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju asked when he stopped at Qi Rong, "Where is the disease in the Qin State now?" ”

When Qi Rong heard the inquiry, he opened his mouth and replied: "Back to Sima, now the disease is still in Xianyang, Qin State." ”

"Xianyang?" Zhao Ju frowned and said, "Are you sure?" Why did my Chu State spy in Xianyang say that Zhu Lizhi had not appeared in Xianyang for nearly ten days. ”

Qi Rong affirmed: "Sima, I can be sure that the disease is in Xianyang. As for Xianyang, there is no figure of the disease, it is because the disease has been staying in the palace, and before leaving Xianyang, when I said goodbye to my sister, I had seen the disease in the Xianyang Palace. ”

"In the palace..."

This...

There is no way to verify the news from Mi Rong in a short period of time, and even if what Mi Rong said is true, now that Mi Rong has arrived in Wancheng, Yu Li has the heart to leave Xianyang secretly, God knows where he is now?

Zhao Ju asked a few more questions, and finally asked, "What strange things have happened in Xianyang recently?" ”

"Strange things?" Qi Rong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Back to Sima, I have not found anything abnormal during my time in Xianyang, since Qin State got the news that Chu State was going to attack Qi State, Qin State began to dispatch troops, Zhang Yi and other important ministers often entered the palace to discuss matters, and nothing major happened. ”

"If there is anything strange, there is only one thing, and that is that the disease often stays in the palace. Every time he left the Qin Palace for a short time, he would enter the Qin Palace in a hurry, and in the past two months, he had basically spent his time in the Qin Palace. ”

Qin Palace!?

Zhao Ju nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, if what you said is true, then Ben Sima must take a credit for you." If you continue to work hard, you will surely be able to restore your family's former titles soon, and the king has never been stingy with titles. ”

Hearing this, Qi Rong bowed and said, "Xie Sima carries it." ”

After Qi Rong left, Zhao Ju immediately ordered: "Immediately investigate the number of Qin troops from all walks of life, send an order, and ask someone to inquire about the news of the Qin Palace." ”

"No."

Wuguan.

After Qi Rong returned, Wei Ran asked, "I asked you to deliver the news of the Qin army, did you tell Sima Zhaoju of the Chu State?" ”

Qi Rong nodded: "Brother, I've already told Sima." ”

Saying that, Qi Rong hesitated and said: "Brother, it's just that the younger brother has a question, and the elder brother asked me to inform Sima of the news of the other two roads, why do you have to reveal your true situation to Sima, brother?" ”

Wei Ran glanced at Qi Rong: "If the fake news of Wuguan is transmitted, after the Chu State knows about it, will it still trust you." Remember, you are a Chu person, not a Qin person, as long as you do things for the Chu State wholeheartedly, my sister and I don't have to worry about you. ”

"Yes, brother." Qi Rong couldn't help but bow his head.

Facing this brother who is not half related to him, I don't know why, I always can't hold my head up.

Obviously there is no blood relationship!

"But, brother, what if Sima comes to attack in a big way?"

Wei Ran sneered when he heard this: "I have 50,000 troops stationed in Xiongguan, am I still afraid of him Zhaoju?" ”

Saying that, Wei Ran glanced at Qi Rong: "Okay, this time you traveled thousands of miles to Qin State to visit my sister and me, we are very happy, now you can go back to Chu State." In the future, we will contact by letter, if there is no big matter, you should not come to Qin again, and do a good job for the king of Chu. ”

Qi Rong heard this: "······"
