The twenty-ninth messenger of the state of Qin
Zhao Kuo bitterly flattened Lai San avenged the revenge of the day, and did not want to walk out of a black-faced man from behind the broken temple, followed by a gray-clothed young man, Lai San suddenly cried and told the grievances in his heart, the black-faced man came to fight Zhao Kuo with his fists, and Zhao Kuo had the upper hand in strength, fortunately, he had rich experience in hand-to-hand combat with the ink man for several days, Zhao Kuo reported his name, Maiqiu beat Qin Yu away in a battle, and it was related to the black-faced man, such an ending was completely unexpected by Zhao Kuo, adding a few good players, and returning home with Heiba, Bai Ying and others, Four ink men walked out of it with long swords in their hands, and one of them said happily: "Big brother! It's really Big Brother, how can he be with Childe. ”
Hei Baxi said: "Brother Liu, it's you!" What a coincidence. ”
Zhao Kuo looked at it, "You know?" ”
The person surnamed Liu nodded, "Brother Ba is bold, but he is a man who stands up to the sky, and he helped us a lot when he was in Qi!" ”
Heiba laughed: "It's just a gesture!" ”
"This is fate, as the saying goes, there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and there is no chance to meet on the other side, and they will be my good brothers Zhao Kuo in the future!"
Not to show Zhao Kuo and others, outside the city gate of Handan, the soldiers are lined up left and right, spears are lined up, a carriage slowly drove in, waiting in front of the city gate is Zhao Shangqing Lin Xiangru, Lin Xiangru is deeply valued by Zhao Wang, the size of the state affairs must be discussed with it, the status of Zhao is even more important, what kind of person can dispatch such a formation, the carriage slowly stopped, Lin Xiangru stepped forward, "Lin Xiangru is waiting here by the order of King Zhao, and now it has arrived at the gate of Handan City, please get off." ”
A cold snort came from inside, "Could it be that Zhao Guo treats Shangbin like this?" Just ask what is the etiquette of a great country! ”
"The guest is the guest, whether it is the guest or the next guest, the guest must be as the host, this is the rule, the number of etiquette can be changed, the rules really can't! Your Excellency, please get off the bus. Lin Xiangru is righteous and righteous, his words are sonorous and powerful, he is worthy of being the first iron mouth and steel teeth in Zhao State, and he does not show weakness in his momentum.
The people in the carriage snorted coldly, the curtain was opened, first showing two feet, and then the body, holding a white stick in his arms, hanging a woven dragon-shaped thing, which is the unique sign of the messenger, also known as the Fu Jie, the ancient sending of envoys or the transfer of troops with the voucher thing, generally made of bamboo, wood, jade, copper, etc., engraved with words, divided into two halves, half of the imperial court, half to foreign officials or generals, this kind of dragon head shape of the "royal life" copper dragon festival represents the important envoys. In addition, there are those that are ox-shaped, luan-shaped, swallow-shaped, and stilt-shaped.
The envoy slowly got down from the car, only to see the triangular eyes, looped legs, two mustaches, pointed heads, and arrogant expressions, this appearance can become the messenger must be extraordinary, the carriage is followed by a team of soldiers, the clothing is obviously different from the soldiers of Zhao State.
Lin Xiangru said in a loud voice: "Welcome the Qin envoy into the city." The drums rose with a low sound, and long pipes were raised with their arms.
"It's the Qin envoy!"
"What are the people of the Qin State doing when they come to our Zhao Kingdom!"
Qin people are fierce, located in the remote private fight, Qin Mugong era began to participate in the Central Plains hegemony, but unfortunately it is always inferior to Jin, Qi, Chu, after the Shang Dynasty changed the law to implement the rule of law, abolished the hereditary system, rewarded military merits, heavy agriculture and suppressed business, the preparation of the tiger's mouth, the implementation of the law of joint sitting, Qin State has been strong since then, Qin Zhao King is ambitious, has the intention of annexing the six countries, now the six countries of Zhao are the strongest, there are famous generals Lian Po, Wen Youlin is similar, when the King of Qin coveted Zhao and the clan, relying on his own strength, the surface promised fifteen cities exchange, Everyone knew King Qin's intentions, King Zhao was in a dilemma for a while, giving, reluctant, not giving, worried that King Qin would take the opportunity to retaliate, and finally Lin Xiangru went to Qin State, playing is bold, playing is heartbeat, and a song 'Returning to Zhao' has achieved a good reputation.
King Zhao sat on the top of the main hall, Lian Po looked gloomy, Qin envoy stepped in, the soldiers on both sides of the spear stand in their hands, the mouth made a burst of shouting and killing, Qin envoy stepped into two Luo circle road, with an arrogant hand holding the messenger flag without fear, Qin Zhao did not have a war for the time being, even if there was, the two countries did not fight to make a fight, this is a rule handed down since ancient times.
The Qin envoy stood still and tilted his head, and Lian Po coughed, "Why didn't the Qin envoy kneel when he saw my king!" ”
The Qin envoy laughed, "As an envoy, representing the Qin State, let me ask King Zhao if he bows down when he sees my king?" ”
King Zhao waved his hand, "Forget it, the envoy of Qin doesn't know what is going on with Zhao Guo this time?" ”
The Qin envoy took out a bundled bamboo slip from his sleeve and stepped forward, and immediately a guard came over, the Qin envoy stopped, with a contemptuous look on his face, "I don't want King Zhao to be so cowardly!" ”
"Let him come up!" King Zhao's words revealed coldness, he didn't want the appearance of the Qin envoy in front of him, his words were indeed so mean, after all, this is Handan City, what is this king afraid of, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the princes of the world if it is spread out.
Qin envoy slowly stepped forward, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly seemed a little depressed, Lian Po glared angrily, put his hand on the hilt of the sword, as long as Qin envoy made a move immediately to kill him, Qin, Zhao Shiqiang, Qin State wolf ambition, has been eyeing the tiger, the two countries are inevitable.
The Qin envoy approached, the bamboo slip was respectfully presented and slowly retreated, the bamboo slip was opened, and King Zhao couldn't help frowning when he saw it, "The Qin envoy came from afar, please go to the post station to rest, and wait for the king of Ming Japan to reply to you." ”
Qin envoy Shi Li, "Please also ask the king to make a decision earlier, and the envoy can go back to restore his life!" so as not to provoke my king to war. After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned to go down to the palace, Lian Po's face suddenly sank, and if it weren't for the identity of the messenger, he would definitely rush up and beat him violently.
Qin envoy walked out of the main hall, and Lian Po snorted coldly, "King, this person is really hateful!" ”
In the main hall, King Zhao frowned, his eyes never left the bamboo slips on the table, Lin Xiangru bowed and said, "King, what trick did King Qin play this time?" ”
King Zhao sighed and said, "King Qin invites this king to meet in Michi!" ”
Lin Xiangru's expression changed when he heard this, why did he invite the king to go to Mianchi for no reason, what was the intention of King Qin Zhao's move, could it be that he couldn't get the Heshi Bi that day, so he held a grudge and bowed forward, "What does the king think?" ”
King Zhao sighed and said: "King Qin Zhao is domineering, but even more arrogant and unreasonable, if it wasn't for Shangqing who had already taken away the king's Heshibi, I am afraid that there will be no goodwill this time, King Chu Huai was unreasonably detained by the king of Qin that day, and he was able to return to the land after twists and turns, so the king was unwilling to go to the appointment." ”
"By no means, if this is the case, the Qin people will definitely laugh at my king's cowardice, how will Zhao State exalt in front of the vassal states in the future." Lian Po stood up, his arms shook, and the armor on his body made a sound, which must have been moved.
King Zhao raised his head, his eyes were opposite to Lian Po, what Lian Po said was right, but this time the covenant of Michi was bottomless, if Qin Guo took the opportunity to make trouble, wouldn't his life be guaranteed, not to go, not to go, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
"What does Lin Shangqing think?"
Lin Xiangru thought about it, "Since it is the invitation of the king of Qin, it must be inappropriate not to go, but the safety of the king must also be taken into account, and he must not lose his momentum, let alone lose his etiquette, and he must not be coerced by Qin." ”
"Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?"
The hall suddenly fell into silence, Lin Xiangru frowned deeply, Lian Po stroked his beard, and slapped his thigh suddenly, "There is!" ”
King Zhao hurriedly said: "Hurry up!" ”
Lian Po said: "The prince is smart and benevolent, when the king leaves Handan, as long as the news is released that Zhao is ruled by the prince, even if he holds my king hostage, it will have no effect, so it will inevitably break the idea of the king of Qin. ”
Lin Xiangru shook his head again and again after hearing this, "General Lian must not leave Handan, the person Qin is afraid of is General Lian, if we rush to Mianchi together, once we are surrounded, the foundation of Zhao State will be destroyed, and who should the prince assist." ”
King Zhao nodded again and again after hearing this, Lian was quite brave, his command was invincible, and he was powerful and powerful to the world, and he was also deeply versed in the method of resisting the enemy, which Qin State was also in awe.
King Zhao's eyes were embarrassed, "General Lian is the most suitable person to stick to Handan, but who is the general on this trip to Michi?" ”
Lin Xiangru arched his hand and said: "Du Wei Zhao Hao!" ”
"Zhao Hao!"
"Zhao Hao is strict in governing the army, and now the morale of Maiqiu Dasheng is high, although it cannot be compared with General Lian, but there is no second choice in Zhao State!"
King Zhao nodded, "I have to do this, immediately order Zhao Hao's father and son to rectify the soldiers and horses and rush to Michi to make an appointment on a certain day!" ”
The order was given, the herald ran out quickly, and Lian Po stood up, "King, since it has been decided, Lian Po should do his best to protect the Zhao Kingdom." ”
"General Lian, don't leave in a hurry, there is a secret letter here, please take a look at it!" After Lin Xiangru finished speaking, he stretched his hand into his sleeve and slowly took out the bamboo slip in the eyes of the two.
