Chapter 283: Envoy to Qi (3)
In order to investigate the truth of Qin, King Wuling of Zhao used the pseudonym Zhao Zhen to visit Qin and pretended to be an envoy of Zhao to visit Qin, and was received by King Qin Zhao.
During the interview, King Zhao Wuling found that although King Qin Zhao was young, he had the quality of a British lord, which was not comparable to the monarchs of other countries, and King Qin Zhao also felt that this envoy of Zhao was insightful, extraordinary, and absolutely unusual, so the two also talked very speculatively. After King Wuling of Zhao took his leave, King Qin Zhao still felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he ordered to meet the envoys of Zhao State the next day.
As a result, King Wuling of Zhao returned to Zhao overnight, leaving only a few retinues in Qin. After King Qin Zhao learned that the envoy was actually King Wuling of Zhao, he also admired King Wuling's courage very much, and sent his entourage out of Qin with great respect.
Gao Yuan decided to pretend to be an envoy to visit the Qi State, and King Zhao Wuling did have the same effect, and there were more tasks than King Zhao Wuling, in addition to checking the reality of Qi State, but also to communicate and negotiate with the envoys of other countries, and to liaise with the local forces of Qi State. A high degree of mobility and autonomy is required, and to be honest, there is really no one other than the plateau who is capable of this task. Moreover, among the lists, there are not many people who have seen the plateau, but they have some contacts with the prince Dan and Jing Ke of the Yan State, and then they have met Tian Tong, the envoy of the Qi State. And Yan Guo is now an ally of Daijun, so as long as they ventilate in advance, they won't say anything. I have only seen Tian Tong once, and as long as Gao Yuan puts on a little makeup and changes his appearance, he can basically ensure that he will not be seen.
So Gao Yuan summoned Ning Qi, Shen Shen, Geng Zhong, Zhao Xuan and others to discuss, although everyone also raised objections, but they could not put forward a suitable candidate, so in the end they could only agree, let Gao Yuan pretend to be the envoy of Dai County, and send an envoy to Qi State.
Of course, the envoy to the Qi State is also a little more relieved, after all, the Qi State is a recognized state of etiquette among the nations, even if the identity of the plateau is revealed, it is unlikely that there will be too much danger, maybe the Qi country will be more polite to the plateau. If it was an envoy to the Qin State, everyone would not let the plateau go to anything. Because the Qin State is notoriously untrustworthy among the nations, and speaks like a fart.
As early as the Qin Xiaogong period, in order to recapture Xihe County, Shang Ying deceived the general Gongzi Wei who guarded Xihe. It turned out that Shang Ying was a doorman in the uncle seat of Xiangguo of Wei when he was young, and he had old friends with Gongzi. In the twenty-second year of Qin Xiaogong (340 B.C.), Shang Ying led the Qin army to attack Xihe County on the western border of Wei State, the two sides were evenly matched, and it was difficult for Qin to win quickly. For this reason, the Qin State was able to dig up, and Shang Ying also got fifteen fiefs of Yu and Shang after this battle, so he was named Shang Jun.
First of all, in the twelfth year of King Qin Huiwen (313 BC), Zhang Yi, the minister of Qin, deceived King Chu Huai, in exchange for Qin ceding 600 miles of land in exchange for severing the friendship between Qi and Qin. King Huai of Chu was angry, so he sent troops to attack the state of Qin, but was broken by the Qin army in Danyang, the king of Chu Huai gathered the troops of the whole country again, launched an attack, and then suffered a heavy defeat in Lantian, and then in the fourteenth year of King Huiwen of Qin (311 BC) the state of Qin captured the tomb of the state of Chu, and the three battles were defeated, and the state of Chu went into decline.
In the eighth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (299 BC), King Zhaoxiang of Qin invited King Huai of Chu to meet Wuguan, King Huai of Chu did not listen to the advice of Zhao Sui and Qu Yuan, and insisted on going to Wuguan to ally with Qin, but was detained by King Zhaoxiang of Qin and coerced King Huai of Chu to cede the land, but King Huai of Chu refused and was detained in Qin as a hostage. In the tenth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (297 BC), King Huai of Chu fled from Qin, but the Qin people blocked the road to Chu, and King Huai of Chu fled to the realm of Zhao, but Zhao did not dare to take him in, and King Huai of Chu tried to flee to Wei, but was captured by Qin's pursuers. The following year, King Chu Huai died of depression in the Qin State.
In the twenty-fourth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (283 BC), the state of Qin planned to pit the state of Zhao again, and the king of Qin Zhaoxiang asked the state of Zhao for the bi, claiming to exchange fifteen cities. Fortunately, Zhao sent Lin Xiangru to go to Qin in order to make the execution, and saw that King Qin Zhaoxiang was insincere to exchange the city for the wall, so he responded improvised, and finally returned to Zhao, so he was not trapped.
And after these incidents, the name of Qin State not keeping its promises and righteousness has also spread all over the country, and no one can believe in Qin State lightly, and when dealing with Qin State, they must also have a twelve-point heart, and they are afraid that they will be pitted by Qin State again.
Therefore, when King Wuling of Zhao pretended to be an envoy to the Qin State, he actually took great risks.
Of course, Gao Yuan is different from King Zhao Wuling and King Chu Huai, even if the Qi State sees through the identity of the Gao Yuan and wants to be unfavorable to the Gao Yuan, with the martial arts of the Gao Yuan, he has a great chance of escaping from the Qi State. Therefore, Zhao Xuan and Li Yinghong were more at ease than Ning Qi, Shen Shen, and Geng Zhong.
In any case, since Gao Yuan has already decided, it will not change, and the remaining thing is how to arrange this mission. First of all, it is natural to arrange the internal affairs first. Fortunately, there has been a similar situation before, after Gao Yuan leaves Daijun, Li Yinghong will preside over the overall situation of Daijun on his behalf, and everything else will remain the same. On the Qi side, Gao Yuan is pseudonymous Li Shan, his identity is Li Mu's clan in the past, and his official position is Shangqing.
But Gao Yuan is pretending to be an envoy this time, so of course the fewer people who know, the better, except for participating in the discussion of Ning Qi, Shen Shen, Geng Zhong, Zhao Xuan, Jiang Huanwu, no one else can know, and to the other officials of Dai County, only said that Gao Yuan went out to inspect Yanmen and Yunzhong County. It is estimated that this mission to the Qi State will not take too long, and if there is no accident, in about two months, the plateau will be able to return from the Qi State.
The next thing is the personnel escort arrangement for this envoy, Ning Qi, Shen Shen, and Geng Zhong naturally can't intervene, mainly Gao Yuan, Li Yinghong, Zhao Xuan, Jiang Huanwu and others discuss.
Of course, Li Yinghong and Yun Yao can't go with the plateau this time, but Li Yinghong hopes that one of Zhao Xuan and Jiang Huan can go with the plateau, because both of them are superb in martial arts, and no matter who goes to Qi with the plateau, they can be the plateau's right-hand man.
But Gao Yuan didn't want to take them there, firstly, because both of them now have important responsibilities, whether it is Jinyiwei or Fan Yongjun, they are in the process of being formed, and they can't stop, and as soon as the two of them leave, they will have a great impact on Jinyiwei or Fan Yongjun; The second is that if there is really an accident when you go to Qi this time, then you will face thousands of troops and horses in Qi State, even if Zhao Xuan and Jiang Huanwu follow, it will not play a big role. Therefore, it is better to stay in Daishire.
After listening to Gao Yuan's reason, everyone didn't have anything to say, Jiang Huanwu said: "Okay, even if General Zhao and I don't go, you have to bring Xiaofeng with you, no matter what, you have to bring one or two capable people by your side." ”
Gao Yuan smiled: "Now he and Xiao Na are inseparable from each other, I'm afraid he doesn't want to go." ”
Jiang Huanwu glared at him and said, "He dares, if he dares to ignore the overall situation, see that I don't break his legs." ”
Li Yinghong said with a smile: "I think it's better to take Xiao Na with you, first, you bring a person from the Bailing clan, if someone is injured or something accidents happen, there is a guarantee, and secondly, it is also to make Xiao Feng feel at ease, otherwise although his people are gone, their hearts are still here." ”
Jiang Huanwu also nodded and said, "That's fine, Ah Yao can't go with you, it's okay to bring Xiao Na with you." ”
At this time, Zhao Xuan said: "Now that the Thirty-six Cavalry Guards of the Rapid Wind have been formed, I think you should take them all with you this time." ”
The 36 cavalry guards of the rapid wind are the personal guards of the plateau formed during the expansion of the army, although with the current martial arts of the plateau, they do not need to be defended, but as a party, it is impossible not to have a few effective guards. The thirty-six cavalry guards of the Rapid Wind are not only the elites selected from the various armies, but also the loyalty is also very reliable, among them, twenty-three people are selected from Li Mu's personal soldiers in the past, and nine are hunters from Yanbei Village, and the other four are selected from the rescued grass herdsmen.
Although in the name of the Thirty-six Cavalry Guards of the Rapid Wind is a member of the Jinyi Guard. But in reality they only obeyed the orders of the plateau, and each of them was of a very high rank, equivalent to a centurion, while the commander of the cavalry guard was a thousand-commander, and the deputy commander of the cavalry guard was a five-hundred-commander.
Gao Yuan nodded, the thirty-six cavalry guards of the Rapid Wind were originally his personal guards, and this time he went to the Qi country, so he should naturally take them all with him. Of course, it is impossible to go to Qi Country this time with only thirty-six people, not to mention that there is also a caravan with Lin Wenqing, the previous caravans were all small fights, and this time it can be real, the scale of the caravan is much larger than the previous times, so even the army that protects the caravan must always bring a few hundred people to be enough. And since Gao Yuan decided to take Ling Feng with him, the accompanying army was also selected from the scout army. Moreover, the soldiers of the scout army were originally trained according to the standards of special forces, and they could fight immediately and on horseback, and they were good at reconnaissance and lurking, so they were also the most suitable candidates.
Jiang Huanwu said again: "Now that the establishment of the Fan Yong Army has been fully organized, let's go to Qi this time, and bring some people from the Fan Yong Army, so that we can show our raid on Yin Mountain this time and break the exploits of the Hungarian Army in Qi." Don't let other countries underestimate the strength of our Daigun. ”
Gao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's pick some people from the Fan Yong Army." ”
