That night, Zhao Hongrun and Liu Jie talked until late at night, and the latter got up to say goodbye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, after sending Liu Jie away, Zhao Hongrun suddenly learned from Zong Wei Mu Qing that Chen Tang, a staff member of Yongwang Hongyu, also came to visit him shortly after Liu Jie's arrival, but because Zhao Hongrun and Liu Jie were quite speculative at that time, the Zong Wei did not rashly disturb his Royal Highness's temperament.

"I chatted with that Liu Jie for more than two hours? And that Chen Tang also waited for more than two hours? Zhao Hongrun asked in surprise.

The guards smiled bitterly and nodded, thinking that they didn't expect that His Royal Highness would talk to Liu Jie for two hours.

"Broken ......"

Zhao Hongrun, who suddenly woke up, secretly said in his heart, and immediately sent someone to invite Chen Tang, a staff member of King Yong, who had been waiting for a long time.

However, it was past the end of the sea at this time, and Chen Tang, the staff of King Yong, could not arouse Zhao Hongrun's interest when he spoke, so that Zhao Hongrun yawned again and again when meeting him, and in the end, Chen Tang left with a gloomy face.

Looking at the back of Chen Tang leaving, Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly in his heart.

Because he realized that he was yin by Liu Jie.

negotiated with Liu Jie, a staff member of King Xiang, for two hours, but to Chen Tang, a staff member of King Yong, Zhao Hongrun began to yawn before he could say a few words, how does this make outsiders think?

"This Liu Jie, so cunning, actually used a topic I was interested in to seduce me......

Zhao Hongrun said secretly in his heart.

However, he was not angry with Liu Jie, because in his opinion, this was Liu Jie's ability - if this person's speech could not arouse his interest Zhao Hongrun, how could Zhao Hongrun stay with him for a long time?

Of course, the real reason why Zhao Hongrun is not angry about this is because of Liu Jie's talent.

Because this person proposed to Zhao Hongrun various means of restraining Korea, some of which were similar to the economic warfare in Zhao Hongrun's memory, Zhao Hongrun stayed in Wei for so long, and was the first to meet a wise man with such foresight.

It's a pity that Liu Jie is Xiangwang Hongjing's staff, which makes Zhao Hongrun sigh again: Another talent who doesn't belong to him!

But even though he knew that he was put on a table by Liu Jie, Zhao Hongrun still had no regrets, because in his opinion, this conversation with Liu Jie did benefit him a lot, and Liu Jie's various concepts of "if you want to take it, you must give it first" are deeply in line with Zhao Hongrun's mind.

In Liu Jie's view, South Korea is a country that is both internally united and full of contradictions: when attacked by foreign enemies, domestic political forces will temporarily put aside their prejudices and unite with the outside world; However, when the situation was peaceful, Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu and others began to oppose each other because of the struggle for power.

Therefore, Yoo Jie's suggestion to dismantle Korea from within and do what it pleases and treat it with pride – this is in the same sense as "to make it perish, you must first make it crazy".

Liu Jie's previous proposal of "exchanging copper for livestock" is also based on this point, the purpose is to make the gap between the rich and the poor in South Korea widen more and more, so that the rich can hoard thousands of catties of copper, so that the poor have no food, and in the long run, the rich and poor in South Korea will inevitably have many contradictions.

As a result, the people will not be attached, and the Koreans will no longer be able to unite as they are now.

I have to say that for Liu Jie's suggestion, Zhao Hongrun deeply agreed.

Zhao Hongyun also believes that South Korea's strength lies in its profound heritage. And this heritage comes from the great aristocratic families that have been inherited for hundreds of years in South Korea, although the Wei State has hit the Korean army hard, and even defeated the royal capital of South Korea, Handan, but the big aristocratic forces in South Korea have not been affected - the Han soldiers killed by the Wei army are actually only middle-class children and low-class civilians, as long as the upper-class aristocratic groups still hold huge wealth, what is the loss of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Korean soldiers?

But on the other hand, if these upper aristocratic forces lose the loyalty of the plebeian class, then these upper aristocratic forces will be dealt a serious blow - no family can completely break away from the plebeian class and prosper on the members of its own family.

It is undeniable that through some negotiations with Liu Jie, Zhao Hongrun knows better what way to deal with South Korea.

Because of this, when Zhao Hongrun Pan Ran woke up and realized that he was put on a position by Liu Jie, he couldn't afford to be angry in his heart.

He can only say that Liu Jie has the essence of the word "do what he likes", so much so that after Liu Jie provoked his relationship with Yongwang Hongyu, he still highly appreciated Liu Jie.

In this case, Zhao Hongrun can only hope for the mind of King Yong.

However, thinking about it carefully, Zhao Hongrun thinks that even if Yongwang Hongyu suspects that he is getting close to King Xiang, he should not make any dim judgment, after all, in terms of the current situation, Yongwang Hongyu's position is not stable.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."

After persuading himself, Zhao Hongrun forced himself to sleep, after all, he was going to the west of Hedong County tomorrow morning.

The next day, early in the morning, Zhao Hongrun was woken up by Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao.

After a simple breakfast, Zhao Hongrun, escorted by 5,000 Yanling troops, prepared to set off for the western part of Hedong County.

When he set off, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, the general Shaohu, and the general Wei Mu of Southern Yan all came with their subordinates to see them off, and even Zhao Hongrun saw Liu Jie and Chen Tang in the send-off team.

Comparing Liu Jie's smiling expression with Chen Tang's sad face, Zhao Hongrun secretly shook his head in his heart: Liu Jie deserves to be the third place in the nineteenth imperial examination of Hong De, compared to this person, Chen Tang, the staff of King Yong, is far behind.

But think about it, like Zhou Yu, a student who only took the post-ranking exam, but was able to press Luo Ying who took the pre-ranking to the ground and beat him violently, if every imperial examination would appear, the imperial examination itself would lose some meaning.

"Your Highness."

Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yan Ling Army, came to Zhao Hongrun's car and hugged his fists to ask for instructions.

Zhao Hongrun nodded, and after bowing goodbye to the crowd of people who had sent him off, he turned his head and said to Yan Mo: "Let's go." ”

"Yes!"

Yan Mo clenched his fists to receive the order, and immediately raised his arms and ordered the whole army to set off.

Five thousand Yanling soldiers, under the leadership of Yan Mo, escorted Zhao Hongrun across Hedong County to the west of Hedong County.

During the period, he was in a hurry, and when it was close to the end of September, Zhao Hongrun had returned to Tianmen Pass.

At this time, the guard of Tianmen Pass was Lu Zhan, the 3,000-man general of the Shangshui Army, and when he learned that Zhao Hongrun had passed through Tianmen Pass, he hurriedly descended the mountain with more than 100 Shangshui soldiers and soldiers to greet him.

For Lu Zhan, Zhao Hongrun is no stranger.

Lu Zhan is a very veteran soldier, born in the "Ping Xuan Army", that is to say, he is also a veteran who has followed Zhao Hongrun for five years.

According to Zhao Hongrun's understanding, in the era when Ru Nanjun Xiong Hao, the father of Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, governed western Chu, Lu Zhan's family used to be a small landlord in Chu State, and there were some fields in the family and many domestic servants, and they belonged to a small rich family that had separated from the poor peasant class - Runan Jun Xiong Hao devoted his whole life to improving the status of civilians in China and improving the living conditions of civilians.

It is a pity that after the death of Xiong Hao, the king of Runan, the army of the nobles of the Xiong clan in eastern Chu swept through Chuxi like locusts, although nominally to kill the unwarranted "rebellious ministers and thieves who instigated Runanjun to turn his back on Chu", but in fact, it was to rob Chuxi of his wealth.

At that time, the commoners of Chuxi were plundered by the noble army of the Xiong clan in Chudong, and only some nobles escaped by luck.

In this context, Lu Zhan's family was naturally implicated, and once the family wealth was lost, and they were destitute.

Although Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, later inherited the will of his uncle Xiong Hao, the Jun of Runan, but Chuxi was swept away by Chu Dong at that time, and he was poor and white, which made it difficult for Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, to be full of ambitions, but also because he had no money in his hands.

In this case, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, hit the idea on the neighboring Song Kingdom, who made the Song Kingdom claim to be rich?

It's a pity that in the later battle of "Lian Wei to destroy the Song Dynasty", Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, was placed by Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei.

And Lu Zhan's grandfather and father died in the battle of "Lianwei to destroy the Song Dynasty".

After the death of Lu's father, Lü Zhan's family was even more embarrassed, so five years ago, before and after Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, raised an army to attack Wei, Lü Zhan asked his younger brother Lü Zhi to take care of his wife and children, and he resolutely joined the army.

And now, Lu Zhan has moved his brothers, wives and children to Shangshui County, under the grace of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, who treated the soldiers well, Lu Zhan and his family have once again become a small and wealthy family in Shangshui County, with fields, land, houses and livestock, and even bought more than a dozen Hu slaves from Sanchuan to help farm.

Although it is said that whether it is the Shang Shui Army or the Yan Ling Army, even ordinary soldiers have become homesteaders, and the generals have become small landlords, Lu Zhan is still very grateful to Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

After all, at that time, their family was dying of starvation in the Chu State, and after they voted for the Wei State, they became a wealthy small landlord, and even had the opportunity to become a noble for their military exploits.

Therefore, even if he was stationed at Tianmen Pass this time and did not have the opportunity to participate in the Battle of Handan, Lu Zhan still did his best to guard Tianmen Pass for His Royal Highness King Su and take care of the "Tianmen Mine".

Moreover, those nobles in the Wei State sent people to probe and ask "what is the purpose of the limestone in the Tianmen Mine", all of them were ignored.

As for whether he would offend those nobles, Lu Zhan was not worried - he didn't even care about Zongwei Mengluo, who offended Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, how could he care about the nobles in Wei who had no military power.

"It seems that many people are wondering what the use of "limestone" is......

After hearing Lu Zhan's report, Zhao Hongrun frowned.

It was this point that annoyed him very much: as soon as he made any moves, those nobles would often gather around him like flies that smelled meat, and they were very annoyed.

"Don't mention this, what's the situation of Tianmen Pass recently?" Zhao Hongrun asked.

Lu Zhan thought for a moment and replied, "Except for the fact that some people in China frequently send people to explore the use of limestone, my Tianmen Pass is quite stable...... Oh no, wait, Your Highness, there's a talent here! ”

"Who?" Listening to Lu Zhan's brainless words, Zhao Hongrun was a little confused.

I saw Lu Zhan hugging his fists, and Zhengse said: "Between Shangdang Quyang and Hedong Yiyi, there is a small county called 'Shang', and the county order is called Kou Zheng, who led the county people and hunters to repel the Han army fugitives in the area of Tianmen Pass......"

"Kou Zheng? It's a familiar name......

Touching his chin, Zhao Hongrun was thoughtful.
