That night, Zhao Hongrun invited his cousin Wei Yu's family of five (including a side room) to Suwang's Mansion and entertained them warmly.

During this period, he also introduced the ladies in his house, including Qin Shaojun, who had changed into women's clothes, to his cousin Wei Yu one by one, which made Wei Yu feel the power and grace of this cousin, and on the other hand, he also felt great pressure.

Chu State Runan Jun Xiong Hao's eldest daughter Qi Jiang and Qin State Princess Ying Ying, how can this kind of marriage not make Wei Yu feel the pressure increase sharply?

After dinner, Wei Yu's family of five originally wanted to quit and live in the post house in the city, but Zhao Hongrun stubbornly stayed and invited them to live in the wing of the east courtyard of King Su's mansion.

Wei Yu's wives and concubines were of course happy in their hearts, after all, they also understood the power and status of Zhao Hongrun, the prince of Wei, in Daliang, and they could get close to this prince of Wei, and their family would naturally be safe and sound in Daliang.

It's just that Wei Yu's mood is a little complicated.

After gradually understanding this cousin's personality and personality, Wei Yu must admit that this is a relative worthy of deep friendship, but for some reason, Wei Yu actually doesn't want to be too close to this cousin in his heart.

After settling Wei Yu's wife and children, Zhao Hongrun invited his cousin Wei Yu to the garden of the inner courtyard for a drink.

As soon as he saw this posture, Wei Yu guessed that this cousin was probably planning to talk to him about something "during the recent war".

Sure enough, after drinking a glass with each other, Zhao Hongrun licked the wine on his lips and said sincerely: "I deeply regret the catastrophe suffered by the defense of the country during this war. At that time, the garrison of the king of Southern Liang was in the area of Yuanyang and Sujuju......"

When explaining this matter, he tried his best to downplay the strategy of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who deliberately led the Han army to Wei Guo as a breakthrough, not that he had the intention to hide anything for Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, but once this kind of thing is admitted, the image of Wei will be greatly affected, not only will it be criticized by the people of the world, but it will also directly affect the relationship between Wei and Wei.

Therefore, the court bit to death: Sima Shang, the general of the Korean army, suddenly led the army to attack the Wei country, this was because the strategy of the Han army had changed, not because the Wei side deliberately guided it.

Even if it is Zhao Hongrun, he can't tell the truth at will.

After listening to Zhao Hongrun's explanation, Wei Yu was silent for a moment and asked, "Some of my subordinates told me that the Korean army attacked our country because it planned to use our country as a breakthrough to attack your country...... In other words, this catastrophe was borne by our country for your country. ”

Zhao Hongrun was silent when he heard this.

Although Wei Yu pretended to be "said by his subordinates", it is not difficult to guess from his tone that these words were all dissatisfaction that Wei Yu himself wanted to express.

Beginning decades ago, when the Wei and Wei countries concluded an alliance, the Wei State existed as a "buffer zone" for the war between Wei and Han.

During that time, the Wei court had been agitating for Wei to recapture the old land north of the river, which is now Moyi, Qixian and other places. Even, the Wei court was willing to assist Wei Guo in the operation to regain the old land without compensation.

The reason for this is nothing more than that Wei wants to reduce the territory directly bordering Korea, and does not want Wei to be able to fight on its own territory when Korea sends troops to attack Wei in the future.

Just like the recent wars with South Korea, as the battlefields of the Wei State itself, Hadong County and Hanoi County were almost completely destroyed by the Korean army, which is not a war wound that can be recovered in a short time.

It is no exaggeration to say that all the losses and expenses of this war were not as much as the cost of rebuilding Ha Dong and Hanoi counties.

And if Wei recaptures Moyi, Qi County and other places, then, between Wei and Korea, it is like a "buffer zone", fighting in this area, no matter how fierce the two sides fight and how serious the damage is, Wei will not feel distressed - because it is the territory of Wei Guo, and it is the territory where Wei people spend their energy and manpower and material resources to develop.

But it's a pity that the previous generation of Wei Wang "Wei Jiao" was quite shrewd, although he was quite young when he succeeded to the throne at that time, he also saw Wei's "uneasy and kind" intentions, but he was not stupid enough to let Wei Guo shield Wei from the wind and rain, as the northeast barrier of Wei.

The current Wei King "Wei Jiao" was very clever in gifting the "sovereignty" of Moyi and Qi County, which had been invaded by Korea, to the Wei State, and to the previous King of Wei, that is, Zhao Hongrun's great-grandfather "Zhao Xuan (chǐ)".

However, even so, Wei and Wei still concluded an alliance of "advancing and retreating together" at that time, although the strength of Wei was not enough to compete with South Korea, but it was also a force that could not be given up for the weak Wei State at that time.

Having said that, in the era of "Wei Wang Luxury" and "Wei Wang Jiao", Wei and Wei were actually friendly with each other as equal allies.

A few years later, "King Zhao Hao of Wei" died of old age, passing the throne to Zhao Hongrun's grandfather "Zhao Kang".

"Zhao Kang, King of Wei", is not a Ming monarch, in his time, the national strength of Wei did not advance but retreated, and even the strongest elite division in the country "Wei Wujun" was also defeated by Korea in Shangdang County because of Zhao Kang's great achievements, which led to the Wei State showing signs of decay at that time.

But during this period, Zhao Kang still did something beneficial to Wei, that is, he used the influence of Wei to interfere with the crown prince of Wei and support a Wei prince who was friendly to Wei.

The cause of this incident was that after Wei Wujun was defeated by Shangdang, at that time, the king of Wei, Zhao Kang, was afraid that Wei Guo would turn to the arms of Korea after seeing him see the decline of Wei's national power, so he strongly asked "Wei Wang Jiao" to send a son to Daliang as a proton.

At that time, "Wei Wang Jiao" was much more virtuous than "Wei Wang Zhao Kang", he considered that if Wei Wei lost harmony, it would only allow Korea to take advantage of the situation, so that Wei Wei and Wei were annexed by Korea, so he endured humiliation and agreed to Zhao Kang's rude request, so he chose a son who did not like much from several sons and sent him to Daliang as a proton, that is, Wei Gongzi Fei.

Unexpectedly, although Wei Gongzi Fei was not talented, he knew how to observe words and feelings, and flattered him, and after he arrived in Daliang, he was actually deeply loved by Zhao Kang, the king of Wei.

After waiting for a few years, the diligent "Wei Wang Jiao" became ill from hard work, and when he was about to choose an heir from several important sons before his death, Wei Gongzi Fei, who was in Daliang at this time, heard about this and entered the palace crying and begging Zhao Kang to help him.

So, Zhao Kang, who has always loved Wei Gongzi Fei, sent an army to escort Wei Gongzi Fei back to Weiguo, and after some twists and turns, Wei Gongzi Fei was put in the position of Wei Wang, which is now "Wei Wang Fei".

Since then, the original equal status of the alliance between Wei and Wei has gradually "deteriorated", and "Wei Wang Fei", as the godson of Zhao Kang, the king of Wei, was extremely friendly to Wei.

It is said that at that time, there was a minister of Wei Guo to dissuade Wei Wang Fei, but Wei Wang Fei swore that his throne was taken by the Wei people for him, and the Wei people would not harm him.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, Wei has no intention of harming Wei from beginning to end.

It's just that after Wei Wang Fei succeeded to the throne, the relationship between Wei and Wei gradually changed from a "brother" to a "little brother", and after Zhao Hongrun's father, Wei King Zhao Si, a powerful Wei monarch, seized the throne, the relationship between Wei and Wei became more and more stable.

Under the guidance of Zhao Si, the king of Wei, intentionally or unintentionally, the development of the country in some aspects gradually stagnated.

For example, the smelting technology of the country.

At that time, Wei Wang Fei said that anyway, the smelting technology of the big brother Wei is so much stronger than ours, and what kind of iron-smelting process does the country develop, waste money, armaments, etc., just directly manage the purchase of Wei.

In this way, gradually, gradually, Wei gradually became a vassal of Wei - in this case, Wei really had no reason to harm Wei Guo.

Because there's no threat.

Therefore, it seems that some of the behaviors of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, in this war, in fact, the court of Wei and Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Wei, are all in conflict, but Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, first cut and then played, and repelled the Korean army for Wei, and made great achievements, so it is not good for Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Wei, and the court to say much.

Afterwards, Wei took the initiative to contact Wei Wang Fei, under the banner of "supporting the restoration and construction of Wei Guo", and expressed his willingness to fund a sum of money and grain to help Wei Guo resume domestic construction, even though Wei Wang Fei was previously dissatisfied with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and the behavior of Hu Mu Hou Sun Mou, Yuanling Hou Yu and other reinforcements standing by, this dissatisfaction quickly disappeared.

However, Wei Gongziyu couldn't accept this kind of thing.

Because he felt that Wei's attitude towards Weiguo was becoming more and more 'casual', as if Weiguo's ally was dispensable to Wei. - That's not a good sign.

In Wei Yu's view, if you want to get the 'respect' of Wei, you must first make Weiguo strong and get rid of Wei's control, just like in the era of "Wei Wangjiao".

Therefore, Wei Yu came to Daliang this time, for some reasons, but also to see the prosperity of Daliang and see if he could learn anything from it.

By the way, look at the attitude of the sons of the Wei king Zhao Si towards the defense of the country - although the Wei king Zhao Xi treated the Wei country quite kindly, it is difficult to guarantee that the next Wei king will not have other views on the defense of the country.

What surprised him was that on the first day he arrived in Daliang, he met the most popular of the Wei princes, Zhao Run, the king of Su, and this Wei prince still seemed to have a good impression of Wei Guo.

However, during the conversation with His Royal Highness King Su, Wei Yu also clearly felt that this Wei Gongzi's kindness to Wei Guo, just like his promise that "in the future, he will try to punish the Marquis of Humu Sun Mou, the Marquis of Yuanling and Uncle Yu", which seems to be based on a condescending height - it cannot be said to be charity, but it is by no means an accusation and compensation on an equal footing.

"The Arrogance of a Great Power......

That night, after Zhao Hongrun and Wei Yu ended their conversation, Wei Yu lay on the bed in the wing room of the east courtyard of King Su's mansion, secretly sighing.

In fact, he has a very good impression of Zhao Hongrun's cousin, after all, with Zhao Hongrun's current power and status, he can still put down his posture, contact him on an equal footing without any shelf, and even call himself a little brother, which is a very valuable character in his opinion.

But unfortunately, even if it is this Wei Gongzi who has both ability and integrity, when mentioning the relationship between Wei and Wei, his subjective attitude is inevitably quite strong, although he keeps saying "I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter", but he did not ask Wei Yu what kind of explanation he wanted.

It's as if Wei Guo can explain to Wei Guo, which is already a very remarkable appearance.

This feeling made Wei Yu feel very bad.
