In mid-May, the war between the allies of Qi, Lu, Wei, and Yue and Chu had gradually subsided, and a period of peace had begun to count their gains or wounds, although no one thought that this peace would last long. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Among the coalition forces, Qi retreated the fastest, relying on the relationship between Ji Zhao, the left minister of Qi State, Zhao Hongrun knew very well why the six princes were in a hurry to return to Linzi with the remains of Lu Xi, the king of Qi.

The reason is that the sons of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, heard that their father seemed to have died on the way to crusade against the Chu State, and they rushed out one by one, eager to become the king of the Qi State.

In this way, how could Ji Zhao tolerate it?

Zhao Hongrun knows his character too well, don't look at the appearance of gentleness, but in fact, the stubbornness of a scholar is more stubborn than a cow.

Since Lu Xi, the king of Qi, made a will to make his youngest son, Gongzi Bai, the king, then Ji Zhao would support this brother-in-law to become the king of Qi no matter what, and assist him wholeheartedly.

If nothing goes wrong, the state of Qi is about to face a civil strife.

"Aren't you going to help your brother of the six kings?"

Mi Jiang was very puzzled, Zhao Hongrun was still staying in Xiangcheng.

By the way, Xiangcheng, after the coalition army signed the "Shouying Peace Treaty" with the Chu side, has become the city of the Lu State, but it temporarily belongs to the Wei army, after all, in Xiangcheng, there are still many people of the original Chu State who Zhao Hongrun is ready to pack and bring back to the Wei State, so the lord of the Lu State has a large extent to temporarily hand over the ownership to the Wei army.

However, for this matter, the vast majority of the Wei army generals pouted, after all, Xiangcheng was originally defeated by the Wei army, if it weren't for the fact that this was an enclave far away from the Wei mainland, how could it be the turn of the Lu State to take it as own?

"Help?"

After listening to Qi Jiang's inquiry, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and explained: "That's the internal affairs of the Qi State, and it's not good for me to interfere." …… If I intervene, I will give the enemy of the Six Princes a handle, and the other party will slander my Great Wei and try to swallow the Qi State. ”

Yes, no matter how fierce the forces within the Qi State fight for the position of the King of Qi, the Wei side cannot interfere, because this is a family matter, and the lord of the Lu State lost the Pan, and it was precisely because of this that he returned to Qufu, the royal capital of the Lu State.

Before leaving, the lord of Lu said hello to Zhao Hongrun and invited him to Qufu, the capital of Lu State, to be a guest in a few days.

Zhao Hongrun said that it would be a visit.

Of course, it is said to be a visit, but in fact it is just for the rubbings of the treasure of the Lu country, the volume of "Lu Gong's Secret Records".

During this period, more than one million people of the original Chu State in Xiangcheng began to migrate to the Wei State one after another.

Because the number of people in this group is so large, Zhao Hongrun decided to carry out several routes at the same time.

First, walk through the water, through Suishui, to the Xiangling of the Wei State, and then walk to Shangshui County.

Second, take the vortex river, pass through the Cai River and Shangshui, and then go to Shangshui County.

These two waterways, because the former land of Guling Jun Xiongwu has belonged to the Wei State, therefore, these two roads are relatively safe and convenient.

However, the draft of these two waterways is very shallow, so the number of civilians carried on each trip is not very large.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun chose the third relatively difficult route, that is, crossing Song County.

For this reason, Zhao Hongrun sent someone to contact Song Mo's son, Xu Qiao, after all, this person had something to do with Song Yun, the leader of the largest rebel force in Song County.

After all, in the past ten years, there was Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and then Xiong Wu, the king of Guling, and the two armies of Chu had captured the Song land before and after, who knew if those Chu soldiers had done anything hurtful to the Song people.

Now, more than a million civilians of the Chu State are crossing the Song land, in case those Song people are worried about the hatred with the Chu people, and slaughter those Chu people who defected to the Wei State, then Zhao Hongrun can not tolerate it.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun clearly told Xu Wan and asked him to tell Song Yun, the leader of the rebels in the Song Land, that if the rebels dared to kill a Chu Min who defected to Wei, he Zhao Hongrun would unite with Nangong Kui, the general of the Suiyang Army, to uproot the rebels in the Song Dynasty, and even if Song Yun fled to the ends of the earth, he would also send troops to capture and kill him!

In the face of Zhao Hongrun's warning, Xu Miao repeatedly said that he would communicate with the rebels of the Song Land, and he repeatedly stated that the enemy of the Song rebels was only Nangong Kui, the general of the Suiyang Army, a shameless traitor who killed the monarch, and had no intention of making enemies with the Wei State.

Even, in order to be cautious, Song Mojuzi Xu Miao personally went on a trip.

About three or five days later, Xu Wan came with good news: Song Yun, the leader of the Song rebels, said that the rebels under his command were by no means robbers and bandits, and would not kill innocents indiscriminately, and would not attack those Chu civilians who defected to Wei.

In addition, Song Yun, the leader of the Song County rebels, also expressed his goodwill to Zhao Hongrun, hoping to have further contacts with Zhao Hongrun.

Zhao Hongrun didn't care about this, of course he knew what the rebels of the Song Dynasty meant by wanting to associate with him, it was nothing more than wanting to use the power of the Wei court to kill Nangong Kui, the general of the Suiyang army.

In Zhao Hongrun's view, Nangong Kui, the general of the Suiyang Army, is certainly not a good thing, but he is still subordinate to the Wei court on the surface, so before this person exposes his obvious rebellious intentions, the Wei court will not be able to move him, so as not to fall into the tongue.

What's more, Nangong Kui is not a good thing, but the Song Di rebels are a good thing?

As far as Zhao Hongrun knew, the Wei people were attacked in the Song region at the beginning—although most of the attacks were among the aristocratic forces that had seized the resources of the Song land—but there was a shadow of the Song rebels behind it.

If there was no rebel army to take the lead, would the common people in the Song Land alone have the courage and ability to attack the nobles with hundreds of private soldiers?

In the final analysis, for Zhao Hongrun, who stood on the position of Wei, neither Nangong Kui nor Song Yun, the leader of the rebel army in the Song Land, was a good thing.

Of course, in the case that he Zhao Hongrun has no spare strength to meddle in Song Di, as long as Nangong Kui and Song Yun don't offend him, he doesn't bother to care about the battle between the two sides.

After that, Zhao Hongrun also sent someone to Suiyang to give Nangong Kui, the general of the Suiyang Army, a breath, after all, Nangong Kui was equivalent to the uncrowned king of the Song Land at this time, and Zhao Hongrun wanted to make more than a million people of Chu cross the Song Land, so as to avoid unnecessary friction.

Within a few days, Nangong Kui sent someone to deliver the news, to the effect that he agreed to the matter, and in addition, Nangong Kui also said that he would send troops to escort those Chu people, so that the latter would not be attacked by the Song rebels.

Regarding this matter, whether Nangong Kui wants to spy on those civilians of Chu State, or take the opportunity to pour sewage on the rebels of Song Land, Zhao Hongrun doesn't care, anyway, the military salary is not out of him, Nangong Kui wants to send troops, then send troops, as long as those people of Chu are safe and sound.

After making these deployment arrangements, Zhao Hongrun's work in Xiangcheng was completed, and the rest were handed over to Wu Ji of the Shang Water Army and Qu Cheng of the Yan Ling Army.

So, he took Mi Jiang, Zongwei and Su Wangwei to Qufu, the royal city of Lu.

Of course, it also includes Song Mojuzi Xu Weak.

This person is bent on promoting the Mo family to the Central Plains countries, and now that he has caught the line of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, how can he let it go easily.

However, Zhao Hongrun did not rashly agree to the various needs put forward by this person, who made the relationship between Song Mo and the Song rebels unclear.

He was going to trick Song Mo's craftsmen first.

In late May, Zhao Hongrun and his entourage came to Qufu, the royal city of Lu State.

To Zhao Hongrun's surprise, after learning of his arrival, the lord of Lu actually went out of the city to greet him in person, which made many officials and people of Lu who were watching at that time dumbfounded.

After all, the lord of Lu personally went out of the city to greet him, except for Lu Xi, the king of Qi, no one enjoyed this honor in the past, even if it was the king of Song back then, the lord of Lu never went out of the city to greet him.

Of course, during this period, Zhao Hongrun also saw Lu Mo's public loss class.

In all fairness, Zhao Hongrun has an excellent impression of him for the public loss class, after all, this person once helped the Wei army consolidate the county of Hao, and later built many war weapons for the Wei army.

It's just that at this moment, this Lu Mo Juzi looked at Zhao Hongrun's expression not very well, no wonder, who asked Zhao Hongrun to ask them for the treasure of the Lu country, "Lu Gong's Secret Record"? That is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless craftsmen of dozens of generations in the Lu Kingdom, even if it is rubbing a copy to the Wei State, this Lu Mo Juzi will not give Zhao Hongrun a good face.

However, in the end, under the order of the lord of the Lu State, the public loss class finally took Zhao Hongrun and his party to the place where the secret record of the Duke of Lu was placed with a calm face.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun realized that the original "Lu Gong's Secret Record" was not a picture album, but a bamboo album piled up in an entire warehouse.

Probably noticing that Zhao Hongrun was a little dumbfounded, the lord of the country of Lu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Gongzi Run, the widow has already ordered the craftsmen to rub the copy, and when Gongzi Run leaves Qufu, he can take it away." ”

Looking at the smiling appearance of the lord of Lu State, Zhao Hongrun did not hesitate to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and pleaded: "Can you let Xiao Wang take a look at the real thing?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the public loss class immediately became angry, because everyone could see that Zhao Hongrun doubted the authenticity and integrity of those rubbings.

However, the lord of the country of Lu stopped the public loss class, smiled and nodded to allow it.

So, under the angry and contemptuous eyes of countless craftsmen of the Lu Kingdom, Zhao Hongrun looked at the genuine products one by one, and it took two full hours to finally finish reading the genuine products in that warehouse.

After that, he looked at the rubbings again, and then nodded and said, "Well, it's exactly the same, and there is no mistake." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the lord of the Lu country, and arched his hand and said, "Because this matter is very important, please forgive Xiao Wang for being rude." ”

The lord of the country of Lu smiled slightly, but he didn't care about Zhao Hongrun's actions, after all, he knew very well the ability of this young man in front of him - that was the handsome man in the world who even King Lu Xi of Qi couldn't wait to snatch back as a son and son-in-law.

He was just a little suspicious, Zhao Hongrun just glanced at it a few times, could he really see it?

So he said kindly: "The widow still wants to stay with Rungongzi for a few more days, Rungongzi can check slowly, maybe which craftsman made a mistake in copying and rubbing......"

For the kindness of the lord of Lu, Zhao Hongrun saw it in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Thank you to the lord, but it's still exempt, Xiao Wang has already seen it once, there is no deviation, the famous craftsman of your country can be called ingenious, rare in the world." ”

Facing Zhao Hongrunchu's praise, Lu Mo's face looked much better, but it could be seen that he didn't think that Zhao Hongrun had just glanced at it a few times, and he could really see what the clues were.

And Zhao Hongrun naturally wouldn't explain to him, he has a super absolute memory, and no matter how small the difference is, he can feel it.

After that, Su Wangwei stayed to transport Tuoben to the carriage, while Zhao Hongrun, Mi Jiang and Zongwei were invited to the palace by the lord of Lu to entertain them.

During this period, the lord of Lu asked: "A few days ago, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, killed a number of nobles in his country, did Gongzi Run hear about it?" ”

As soon as he heard this, the smile on Zhao Hongrun's face immediately put away. (To be continued.) )
