———— the following text————

Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, really chose to stand with Zhao Hongxuan.

For this result, neither Zhao Hongxuan nor Zhou Yu, nor Zhao Hongrun were surprised.

After all, Zhao Hongjiang, the fourth brother of the Yan King, is a person with an upright temperament and acts entirely according to personal preferences, to put it bluntly, if he looks at you pleasing to the eye, even if you are white, you will be treated as a guest; But if he doesn't like you, even if you are a prince or nobleman, he will not look at you properly.

For example, when Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, was in charge of the Northern First Army, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, did not take it into account at all, if it were not for Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace at that time, who recommended Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, as the deputy marshal and acted as a bridge between him and Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, Zhao Hongjiang would never easily spare Zhao Hongli.

Who let Zhao Hongli, under the suggestion of Zhou Yu, take the righteous act of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, to "take the initiative to invite the town frontier", and try to use this matter to attack Zhao Hongyu, the king of Yong.

Maybe Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, had a very simple idea: the former prince Zhao Hongli, he was extremely disgusted; Yongwang Zhao Hongyu and Xiangwang Zhao Hongjing, he has never dealt with each other before, although they are brothers in name, but they really don't have any feelings.

In contrast, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, is naturally more inclined to stand with the brothers Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, after all, he admires Zhao Hongrun very much, and with Zhao Hongxuan, he has also had a friendship with Zhao Hongxuan in recent days to resist the "deputy general Xu Li of the Shanggu Army".

After learning of this, Zhao Hongrun was the east, and his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan was accompanied, and Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, was invited over, and the three brothers drank Korean wine while discussing how to operate the "Qixian Border City".

Originally, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, strongly asked to give Zhao Hongrun a share, because in the eyes of this upright fourth prince, this time the Wei army could successfully counterattack South Korea and force the Korean royal family to surrender, and Zhao Hongrun contributed the most, but in the end, Zhao Hongrun gave up this profit.

It's not that he pretends to be high, the problem is that he and Zhao Hongxuan are close brothers, if both brothers reach out in the border city of Qi County, this will be too ugly.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun decided to give up his share, or simply to put it simply, give his share to his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan.

After all, his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan has no fiefdom and no channels to make money, and it can be said that it is a very difficult thing to feed the 60,000 or 70,000 horses of the Northern First Army with the little military funds allocated by the Ministry of War.

What's more important is that Zhao Hongxuan was in charge of the Northern First Army at the beginning, although there were all his Zongwei as generals, but in Zhao Hongrun's view, the recognition of Zhao Hongxuan by the Northern First Army was still not high.

Just like Zhao Hongrun did to the Shang Shui Army and Yan Ling Army, he gave his subordinates a lot of money to buy land and land, settle their families, and relieve their worries.

In this era of "the soldier dies for his confidant", the soldier's idea is actually very simple: if you let me and my family live in abundance, I will give you my life.

It is precisely because of this reason that whether it was the Su Wang army being trapped in Shangdang Weiqiu, or the heavy casualties in the decisive battle with the Han army in the area of the high wall, it has never shaken the military spirit of the soldiers of the Su Wang army.

I have to say that if it weren't for his younger brother, who grew up together, Zhao Hongjiang would never have made such a huge sacrifice.

After all, "Qixian Border City" is not a one-shot deal, even if Korea conquers Hexi for Wei in the future, and Wei returns Qiguan, Qixian and other places to South Korea according to the agreement, as long as Wei and Han do not go to war with each other, "Moyi Border City" and "Qixian Border City" will eventually be inherited by other border cities, such as "Wusui Border City", "Jixian Border City" or something.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he hadn't recommended his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, Zhao Hongrun would definitely have to participate in such a lucrative matter, after all, although he said that the money came quickly, but the money was spent faster, Su Wangjun's food and salary, the construction of Shangshuiyi, as well as such as Bolangshahe Port, Xiangfu Port, Liangluqu, as long as there is a place where the Metallurgical Bureau intervenes in the construction, there is money invested by Zhao Hongrun.

On the same day, the three brothers Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongjiang, and Zhao Hongxuan discussed and decided: Zhao Hongxuan's Zongwei "Gong Liangyi" will serve as the "Right City Captain" of Qi County Border City, and Zhao Hongjiang's Zongwei "Liu Xu" will serve as the "Left City Captain" of Qi County Border City.

As for who recommended the "Double Captain" to the imperial court, Zhao Hongrun proposed that Wei Mu, the general of the Southern Yan Army, should play it.

Of course, since they want to obtain the support of General Wei Mu, Zhao Hongjiang and Zhao Hongxuan naturally have to come up with some practical benefits, for example, to give two cents of the annual dividend to the Southern Yan Army.

In fact, this can be regarded as a disguised benefit for the general Wei Mu, after all, when he was in the Wei camp in Xitun, Ji County, Wei Mu, a patriotic person, was extremely enthusiastic about Zhao Hongrun, who was half a defender, which made Zhao Hongrun feel that there was a great chance to pull this general Wei Mu to his side.

Under the operation of Zhao Hongrun, the general Wei Mu gladly accepted this proposal, after all, the Nanyan Army, like the rest of the six battalions of the garrison, used to live on the military funds allocated by the Ministry of War, and lived quite poorly, but now that there is an opportunity to collect money and improve the conditions of his subordinates, Wei Mu will naturally not refuse.

Wei Mu's nod meant that the Shanyang Army, the Northern First Army, and the Southern Yan Army were grouped, and under this powerful military force, Zhao Hongrun believed that even Zhao Hongjing, the king of Xiang, who had the ability to interfere with the household department, had to weigh it, not to mention, and he Zhao Hongrun supported this matter.

The only one who was excluded was the Wei Wujun of the great general Shaohu.

It's not that Zhao Hongrun or others have any opinions about Shaohu or Wei Wujun, the reason is that the Wei Wujun under the command of General Shaohu is the town army directly under the Great Liang that has surpassed the sixth battalion of the garrison, and if Shaohu is pulled into the small circle of Zhao Hongjiang, Zhao Hongxuan, and Wei Mu, this will harm the general.

Think about it, you also know that the army that inherits the pride of the Wei people - the name "Great Wei Wujun", will the Wei Wujun be short of money?

Not to mention that the household department is not short of money now, even if the household department is embarrassed, it will not and dare not deduct the military expenses of this army, otherwise, the household department will be scolded by the Wei people of the whole country.

Of course, for such a big matter, Zhao Hongrun must inform Shaohu in advance.

Sure enough, after learning about the Shanyang Army, the Northern First Army, and the Southern Yan Army, Shaohu smiled and didn't mean to express any opinion on it at all.

However, in private, Shaohu was inclined to facilitate this matter.

After all, in Shaohu's view, if nothing goes wrong with the Shanyang Army, the Northern First Army, and the Southern Yan Army, these three armies will become the main force to prepare for wars in the north in the future, so the richer and stronger these three armies are, the more fearful he will be of Korea.

Of course, the premise is that the person in charge of the army must be trustworthy, otherwise it will become a tiger breeder.

And Zhao Hongjiang, Zhao Hongxuan, and Wei Mu, the first two are Wei Tianzi's own sons, and the latter one is a general who is deeply trusted by Wei Tianzi and promoted by Wei Tianzi.

If it weren't for his political status, he must be strictly neutral, and he must not get involved with any camp team, otherwise, Shaohu even wanted to help them and play the court on their behalf.

In the last days of late August, Wei Mu, the general of the Southern Yan Army, went to the Great Liang Vertical Arch Palace, and he praised the advantages of "opening a border market" in the pretext of the song, but at the end he pointed out that the order of the border city was too important for a military lieutenant to take care of, so he should set up a "left and right city captain".

Zhao Hongrun vigorously praised the contribution of the Shanyang Army and the Northern First Army in the Northern Xinjiang Campaign, and emphatically pointed out: It is advisable to use the Shanyang Army and the Northern First Army to garrison the border city in the town and border city to deter the border of the border.

As a result, the Great Liang court also understood.

But no one has put forward an opinion on this matter, the reason is very simple, because the household department clearly wants to bring the border city under the jurisdiction of the household department, but the matter itself is justified, and the other government officials are completely different, although they know very well that behind this matter is Zhao Hongjing, the king of Xiang, and the household department is just being used as a shield by this highness.

But even if they were wise, they couldn't catch the handle of Zhao Hongjing, the king of Xiang.

As for the garrison of the border city by the army of the northern frontier, the matter itself is also justified, so the imperial court remained silent and waited to see the confrontation between these two forces - the confrontation between the two forces of the northern Xinjiang army and the king of Xiang.

If these two forces reconcile and reach a tacit understanding, then no one else will be involved, but if these two forces fall out, then others will have an excuse to intervene.

On the same day, after learning about this incident, Zhao Hongjing, the king of Xiang, invited his staff member Liu Jie and asked him how to deal with it.

At this time, Liu Jie had been recommended by Zhao Hongjing, the king of Xiang, to serve as the official of the household department, and he said with a smile after being questioned by the former: "This matter is easy! …… Wei Mu, the general of the Southern Yan Army, suggested that the imperial court set up "left and right city captains" on the front foot, and King Su recommended King Yan and King Huan on the back foot, and His Royal Highness thought that this matter was a coincidence? ”

"How is that possible?" Xiangwang Zhao Hongjing laughed.

Hearing this, Liu Jie smiled and said: "That's it, the general Wei Mu and King Su played together, but King Su recommended King Yan and King Huan, which itself has explained a lot of problems...... The Shanyang Army, the Northern First Army, the Southern Yan Army, and the Suwang Army, in my opinion, His Highness would not be willing to be the enemy of at least thirty percent of the military strength of our Great Wei. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongjing, the king of Xiang, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It's no wonder, after all, the three armies of the Shanyang Army, the Northern First Army, and the Southern Yan Army are grouped, plus the support of the Suwang Army, the pressure on him from this military force is too great, just like Liu Jie said, he doesn't dare to offend at all.

Seeing the expression of Xiangwang Zhao Hongjing, Liu Jie said again: "Since you can't oppose it, why don't you support it and sell them a favor?" …… In my opinion, these four military lords are not in opposition to His Royal Highness at present, so why not befriend King Yituyong? As far as I know, His Royal Highness King Huan has never dealt with King Yong......"

“……”

Zhao Hongjing, the king of Xiang, pondered for a moment and nodded.
