But the experience of those days made Zhao Ying very worried. It turned out that Handan Wu's attitude was very ambiguous, and the reason for the ambiguity was not important (Zhao Ying didn't care either); Zhao Ying had tried him a few times (who would Handan Wu help if he had a conflict with Fan), but Handan Wu didn't seem to understand his intentions at all, and no matter how he hinted, he didn't say anything.

Now, Zhao Ying thinks that he can return to his master - he doesn't want to force Wei Linggong to be his enemy after forcing him to be the enemy of the Jin Kingdom. But there is one more thing he needs to do in order to shift the responsibility for forcing the anti-patriots. He sent an envoy to Wei Linggong and knowingly asked him why he had turned his back on the alliance.

Wei Linggong sent an envoy to reply: "Zhao Meng still asked the fool (Shi Tuo) who led the leader standing under the city on the second day of the siege!" The reason why the widow left him alive was that he planned to ask the great powers to pursue him and another fool (Cheng He). ”

After Zhao Ying returned to China, he reported the situation to Jin Dinggong, who immediately ordered the arrest of the two. Involved in the arrest; Cheng He's news was relatively well-informed, and he escaped from Xinjiang and ran to Yan before the arrest operation began.

The Jin people hoped to hand over the culprit who "destroyed the traditional friendship between the two countries" to the patriots, in exchange for the other party's change of heart. But Wei Linggong tried his best and risked his life to get rid of the control of the Jin Kingdom, how could he change his mind at the cost of the Jin people's words and the life of a small person? Wei Linggong categorically rejected the request of the Jin people, and the Duke of Jin Ding, in a fit of rage, executed Shetuo.

After Zhao Ying returned to his teacher, Handan Wu was not idle. He privately sent an envoy to Wei Linggong and asked him to give him an explanation to avoid another conflict between the two sides.

As the author said earlier, Wei Linggong only hated the Jin State Office, but did not refuse to establish an alliance with the Jin State Doctor. The Patriots (including the Qi people) believe that the greatest threat comes from Handan, and that if a peace agreement can be concluded with Handan, the pressure on the country's security will be greatly reduced.

Wei Linggong was overjoyed, but he thought that he could not bypass Qi and make peace with Handan alone, so he pulled the Qi people in. The people of Qi are also very happy that the three parties have reached a peace agreement very smoothly. This agreement is the product of mutual compromise between the three parties, and it has also achieved a win-win result for the three parties, but it is not good for the Xinjiang regime. Therefore, all three parties kept the contents of the agreement secret.

In the agreement, it was agreed that Weiguo would take out 500 households as the loss caused by the attack on Wu's city to Handan. 500 households is not a small number, and the relocation and resettlement of the population is a major project, and this action cannot be concealed no matter how much it is hidden.

As mentioned earlier, after the occupation of Yiyi, the Duke of Qi moved the locals to the territory of the Qi State, and he later sent two Xiaoyi along with the population to the Wei State. The 500 households requested by Handan Wu were actually the Yiyi people that Qi Jinggong gave to the country.

After Shi Ying's death, Zhao Ying was promoted to Yaqing, and his official residence was in the middle of the army. At this time, Zhao Ying began to show his innate strong temperament and domineering style.

Handan Wu's jealousy of Zhao Ying forced him to secretly report the matter to his uncle Zhong Xingyin.

Zhong Xingyin disagreed: the power of the Zhongxing clan was much greater than that of the Zhao clan; If the Fan clan is added, the two armies can completely crush the Zhao clan's fiefdom and turn it into a scorched earth ruin. He comforted his nephew and said, "You don't have to worry at all, as long as you run Handan well; Xinjiang has his uncle here, even if he Zhao Ying is promoted to a general in the Chinese army, I should repair him, he will never be soft. ”

With his uncle's support, Handan Wu put his heart in his stomach; He later settled 500 households in Dongye City, near the border of Qi.

Handan Wu has a brother named Handan Kai, and his mother is a patriot. Handan Kai was bloated and fat, with a large sweet potato-like head, small eyes with two large eyelids (so that the eyes appear smaller), a collapsed nose, thin and broken teeth, a large and bloated chin squeezed out several layers, and a yellow and sparse hair beard; On weekdays, he speaks like a eunuch, and he is as angry as a gossamer.

That guy is not diligent, he has never been on the battlefield; The perennial laziness made him raise a body of "women's meat". Handan Kai is naturally good at flattering people, and he can always coax people comfortably. He didn't have much of a fight, and he had a wide range of friends: from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to peddlers and pawns. He doesn't seem to think anything wrong, and he never gangs up, and he is not far from anyone.

is such a harmless person, but with great ambitions - to seize the position of Doctor Handan; When Handan made a secret peace with Weiguo, that evil desire became even stronger.

There is no mouth in the world that does not gossip, and the secret between Handan, Qi and Wei finally reached Zhao Ying's ears. Zhao Ying was shocked and angry, and his first feeling was: "Handan Wu has betrayed the Zhao clan and fallen to the side of the Bank of China clan!" ”

But about this conjecture, Zhao Ying has no conclusive evidence in his hands to prove it (but it doesn't matter, as long as Handan Kai is there, there will be incriminating evidence, and everything will be there).

Zhao Ying asked Dong Anyu how he should deal with the matter. Dong Anyu said: "The minister thinks that it is better to treat it coldly at present; After all, Wu has not openly sided with the Zhongxing clan, and if the master takes drastic measures, he will really push him to the opposite side. The master could issue an order to move the 500 households to Jinyang. If this can be done smoothly, let it pass! ”

Zhao Ying suppressed his anger and immediately sent people to Handan, asking Handan to send the population over at noon; At this time, it was already the spring of the thirteenth year of Lu Dinggong (BC497).

Handan Wu felt a little helpless when he received the order, he didn't dare to disobey the order of the suzerain, so he had to order the administrator of Dongye City to gather the population and prepare to move.

At this time, Handan Kai came out, and he proposed in front of Handan Wu and many people without worry: "Those 500 households are ostensibly the compensation given to us by the patriots, but in fact they are the guarantee of the alliance between the two sides; Not only that, but there are even shadows of Qi people inside. The elder brother sent the population to Jinyang, which was equivalent to tearing up the tripartite alliance and breaking off diplomatic relations with Wei and Qi, which would inevitably restart the war. Therefore, it is better for my brother to act cautiously. His remarks hit the nail on the head and expressed the concerns of many people, so they resonated strongly with those present.

In the face of the widespread doubts of the clansmen and officials, Handan was at a loss at one o'clock in the afternoon, and did not know what to do. Others can't come up with an effective solution other than whining.

Handan Kai suggested: "The office has taken revenge on the country, but it has not taken revenge on the state of Qi; And Dongye borders with the country of Qi. We might as well invade the country of Qi from Dongye in the name of the office. When the Qi people went out to fight, we used the excuse of moving those people into the interior. So that the patriots will not have an opinion. ”

Everyone present believed that this matter was feasible, and Handan immediately issued a conscription order.
