Because he learned that Pingyujun Xiong Hu came to pay a visit, Zhao Hongrun asked someone to invite Xiong Hu into the city, and at the same time asked Zongwei Mu Qing to summon the two sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu is also the cousin of the two sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, and like Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, they are the only children of the Xiong royal family who sincerely treat the two sisters of Mi Jiang today.

And except for Xiong Tuo and Xiong Hu, don't look at the princes and nobles of the Xiong clan all over the Chu State, but in the eyes of Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, those people are no different from strangers, and they may even be the enemies of the two sisters' father Ru Nanjun Xiong Hao who forced them to death.

After a while, the two sisters, Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, moved from the back house to the front yard.

When he learned from Zongwei Mu Qing that Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu had come to visit, Mi Jiang was also a little surprised and surprised.

After all, although Wei and Chu are not at war at the moment, and there is an unspeakable agreement in private, in general, due to the alliance of Qi, Lu and Wei, Wei and Chu are still hostile countries.

It is really hard to imagine that Xiong Hu, the king of peace, entered the territory of Wei with such a swagger.

Zhao Hongrun thought about it, and finally felt that it was probably because of the relationship between the two sisters, Mi Jiang and Mi Rui.

Xiong Tuo too, Xiong Hu too, swaggering into the territory of my Great Wei, you are the hostile country of my Great Wei, a little conscious, okay!

Zhao Hongrun was a little depressed.

At this time, he had already selectively forgotten the fact that he was still secretly supporting Xiong Tuo and Xiong Amber.

After about a cup of tea, Xiong Hu, the prince of Chuping, under the leadership of Zongwei Lu Mu, came to the mansion of the sheep tongue family and went to the front yard to visit Zhao Hongrun.

Although this person kept saying that he was visiting King Su, when he arrived at the hall in the front yard, the first person he greeted was the two sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui.

After all, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, although he and Xiong Tuo currently have a good relationship with Zhao Hongrun, but in the final analysis, Zhao Hongrun is still just an outsider, on the other hand, the two sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, although they have not seen each other for many years, they are still the daughter of their respected uncle Runan Jun Xiong Hao, and they regard it as their own sister.

"Meng Mi, Zhong Mi, what do you think of this trip to Wei?"

After greeting each other, Pingyujun Xiong Hu warmly talked with Mi Jiang and Mi Rui.

The title of the state of Chu is very different from that of the state of Wei.

In the Wei State, most of the noble relatives would use the words to represent the seniority, for example, Zhao Hongrun's elders and peers would call the latter Hongrun. If Zhao Hongrun annoys the other party, the other party may call Zhao Hongrun by name, but it will not be Zhao Run, let alone Ji Run.

In the state of Chu, there were no typesets that represented generations such as Xianghong, so they sometimes added Meng (Bo), Zhong (Zhong), Ji, and Shu as the ranking among brothers.

In addition, it depends on whose bloodline is closest to the king of Chu, and the closer the one is, the most noble, and the honorific title is Gongzi, for example, Xiong Tuo is called Tuo Gongzi in Chu State.

Note: The meaning of a certain son and a certain son is different. The former can generally be used by the princes and nobles of the Chu State, but the latter can only be used by the king's descendants or successors.

For women, the Chu people used to put the default typesetting of Meng (Bo), Zhong (Zhong), Ji, and Shu in front of their surnames, which was also different from men.

For example, Meng Mi, which means the eldest daughter of the Mi family, and Zhong Mi, means that she is the second daughter. Note: The same is true of the Meng Jiangnu who cried down the Great Wall in history, referring to the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, not the real surname Meng.

After listening to Xiong Hu's inquiry, Mi Jiang still said with a blank face that it was okay, but Mi Rui told Xiong Hu with great interest, telling where the pastries are delicious, where and where are they fun, etc., and Xiong Hu laughed.

The two of them chatted for a long time, and Zhao Hongrun couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up and prepared to leave.

Anyway, in his opinion, Xiong Hu was purely under the guise of visiting him, just to meet the two sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, and see how they lived in Wei.

In this case, it is better to ask the three of them to have a good chat here, and he, Zhao Hongrun, can also do other things.

However, just as Zhao Hongrun stood up and was about to leave, Pingyujun Xiong Hu opened his mouth and called out to Zhao Hongrun: "King Su wait, this time Xiong has something to discuss with King Su." ”

You're bluffing me, aren't you?

Zhao Hongrun looked at Xiong Hu incredulously, because in his opinion, Xiong Hu clearly came to see Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, but he didn't expect that Xiong Hu really came for something.

Seeing this, Mi Jiang sent her sister away, after all, Mi Rui, this girl has no heart and no lungs, although sometimes the means are vicious, but in fact she is a heartless little girl, and she can't hide anything on her mind, so Mi Jiang asked her sister Mi Rui to go back to Houfu first to find a sheep's tongue apricot to play.

After saying goodbye to Xiong Hu, Mi Rui hopped to the back house.

After all, now in Shangshui County, the Yangyu Yishi has become the most powerful nobleman in Shangshui County due to its recent relationship with Zhao Hongrun, and naturally, the status of Yangyu Xing in the county and in her family is also no different from the county lord Ji - Wei is called the county lord, Chu is called Ji - what beautiful clothes, delicious desserts, dazzling, if it weren't for Xiong Hu coming in person, Mi Rui would not want to come out.

However, although Mi Rui left, Mi Jiang stayed.

It can be seen that although she keeps saying that she has no affection for Chu State, in the bottom of her heart, she still cares about Chu State very much, or rather, she cares about the two cousins of Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, and Xiong Hu, the Pingyu monarch in front of her.

As for Mi Jiang, Zhao Hongrun is quite relieved, because Mi Jiang has a very tight tone, unlike Mi Rui, who can't hide his thoughts, and he is not afraid of leaking any important news.

So, Zhao Hongrun asked Xiong Hu straight to the point: "Say, why did you come to see this king this time?" ”

Xiong Hu thought for a while when he heard this, and said: "Xiong came here today, and there are three things, one of which is to ask about the batch of weapons and equipment that Tuo Gongzi purchased from King Su, and I don't know when King Su will hand them over to us. ”

"Armament?"

Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and then he thought that Xiong Hu was referring to the 80,000 sets of equipment replaced by the sixth battalion of the garrison that Xiong Tuo had privately purchased.

According to the original agreement between the two, Zhao Hongrun should have secretly transported the weapons and equipment to Xiong Tuo and Xiong Hu at the end of last year, but Zhao Hongrun was in Sanchuan at the time, and then returned to Daliang, and a series of things happened so that he forgot about it.

Zhao Hongrun calculated in his heart, as far as he knew, up to now, the Junshui Army, the Fencheng Army, the Dangshan Army, and the Chenggao Army have all replaced the new equipment created by the War Casting Bureau, and counting the days, the Southern Yan Army of the Southern Yan General Wei Mu should have almost changed its equipment, and only the Suiyang Army of the Song General Nangong remained.

But for the Suiyang army, everyone understands, for the army led by this disobedient general Nangong, how can it be so casual to hand over the latest equipment to Nangong?

As we all know, among the six battalions of the garrison, five of them are the "own sons" of Wei, but the Suiyang Army is the "adopted son", not to mention, this "adopted son" is not very obedient, so it is not difficult for Zhao Hongrun to guess that it is very likely that the military department will detain this batch of weapons and equipment for a year and a half, and finally reluctantly hand it over to Nangong.

Who made Nangong and Suiyang Army disobedient?

Perhaps in the minds of the Ministry of War, the Suiyang Army is not as trustworthy as the Shangshui Army, after all, the latter has made great achievements in Sanchuan.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun said to Xiong Hu: "This matter was omitted by this king, and this king will arrange it immediately." ”

Xiong Hu didn't think it was a pestle when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Xiong heard that King Su pacified the three rivers in the west of your country, congratulations." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun looked at Xiong Hu in surprise and asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”

Xiong Hu smiled and explained: "King Su is really a noble person, you strongly support the trade between your country and Sanchuan, and some of the goods are transported from my Chu country ......" Saying, he added with a deep meaning: "It is said that the pearls of my Chu country are quite valuable in Sanchuan. ”

"Yes." Zhao Hongrun snorted and didn't answer Xiong Hu's words.

In fact, he also knew that the profits from the purchase of pearls from the Chu State to Sanchuan could reach six to ten times, and he didn't know why the people of Sanchuan liked pearls so much, especially the girls of the Qiang tribe.

He quickly changed the subject: "You want that batch of weapons and equipment so badly...... Are you ready to intervene in Pakistan for profit? ”

Knowing that Zhao Hongrun changed the topic, Xiong Hu had no choice, although he was also very jealous that they could get such a huge profit when they transported the specialties of the Chu State to Sanchuan, but unfortunately, they now have a request for Zhao Hongrun, and they can't open their mouths at all.

How so?

The specialties of our Chu State are selling so well in Sanchuan, do you want to share our share?

Thinking about it, I also know that Zhao Hongrun will never agree.

If this caused a stalemate, causing the king to stop trading their food, weapons and equipment, what would they do to make a profit in Pakistan?

Thinking of this, Xiong Hu secretly sighed, gave up that fantasy, nodded and told Zhao Hongrun: "In fact, last month, Xiong Tuogongzi had already taken people to Pakistan. ”

Xiong Tuo is not in Chu City? He went to Pakistan?

Originally, Zhao Hongrun just asked casually, but he didn't expect Xiong Tuo to really go to Pakistan, no wonder Xiong Hu wanted that batch of weapons and equipment in such a hurry.

"Your new army...... Finished training? Zhao Hongrun asked incredulously.

As if he had guessed the surprise in Zhao Hongrun's heart, Xiong Hu said with a smile: "King Su thought that more than 400,000 Chu people were swept away from our fiefdom, and there would be no one in my Chuxi?" As he spoke, he shook his head and said in an inexplicable tone: "I, Chuxi, still have hundreds or even nearly tens of millions of civilians, and tens of thousands of people starve to death every year because of food......

……

Zhao Hongrun was speechless by Xiong Hu's words.

Thinking of him Wei State, how many people are there now? It's only six or seven million people, and in the state of Chu, there are nearly 10 million people in Chuxi alone, not including Chudong.

This is the essence of a great power!

Although the current state of Chu has been eroded by the country governed by the Xiong nobles, and even the foundation is rotten, but the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and no matter how erosive the state of Chu is, it is still a strong country, and it is still stronger than the Wei state.

"Why is Xiong Tuo in such a hurry?"

Zhao Hongrun, who had been hit hard, asked with a wistful face.

Hearing this, Xiong Hu's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, and he lowered his voice and said, "This is the second thing Xiong came to today. …… Qi State, declare war on my Great Chu! ”

"What?"

Zhao Hongrun's complexion changed suddenly. (To be continued.) )
