Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 412

But Zhong Cheng finally fulfilled his duties as a subordinate, no matter how much he wanted to know what was in his heart, he didn't ask.

But Wei Wuji obviously didn't intend to hide this matter from Zhong Cheng, he quickly raised his head and said to Zhong Cheng, "Zhao Wangdan invited me to meet outside the east gate of Handan City at noon tomorrow."

"Ah?" Zhong Cheng was stunned for a moment.

After several seconds, Zhong Cheng immediately jumped up as if someone had stepped on his foot: "General, there must be fraud in this!"

Although Zhong Cheng is indeed young, but from his own experience, it is natural that he will immediately think of problems when encountering anything. This is like a person who grew up in some lawless place since childhood. The first reaction of the big guy when he encounters something is not to seek help from JC, but to resort to force directly, it has almost become an instinct.

Wei Wuji gave Zhong Cheng a meaningful look, and a smile appeared on his mature and handsome face: "No, of course I want to go to the meeting tomorrow."

Zhong Cheng became anxious all of a sudden: "General, if the Zhao people are cheating, what should we do?"

In the few breaths of time he was talking, Zhong Cheng had filled his mind with countless schemes, such as assassins lurking, sharpshooters shooting, and cavalry rushing out suddenly. In short, a lot of schemes are related to assassination or It was related to capturing Wei Wuji.

As the saying goes, a snake without a head can't do. If Wei Wuji, the Xiangbang who won the hearts of Wei's army and people, was taken down by the people of Zhao, then this attack on Handan might have failed completely before it even started.

So Zhong Cheng was unwilling to let Wei Wuji go to this kind of meeting in his heart. Anyway, Handan was completely surrounded now, and he only needed to take down Handan properly. Why do so many nonsense things?

As a soldier, Zhong Cheng's thoughts were written on his face without any concealment, and Wei Wuji could see clearly.

Wei Wuji smiled, and gently put down the letter in his hand: "Don't worry, King Zhao is already the overlord of the world at such a young age, how can such a person do such despicable means? If he is really such Ordinary people, then they will not develop Zhao Guo to this point! Tomorrow's meeting, I will be safe and sound."

When Zhong Cheng heard that this reason could not stop Wei Wuji, he was very anxious, and in his haste, he thought of another reason, saying: "If the general attends the meeting and the matter is reported back to Handan, it is inevitable that King Wei will not have a different opinion!"

These words made Wei Wuji's body pause slightly.

Of course, Wei Wuji knew exactly what kind of person his brother Wang was.

The problem is, Lord Xinling also has his own pride.

But all outstanding people in the world have some arrogance in their hearts, or self-confidence in themselves. Although this kind of self-confidence does not prevent them from bowing their heads to their kings, nor does it prevent them from being loyal to their country, but at certain moments It stands in my mind like an obsession, even any wind and waves cannot overcome it.

In one sentence, it is: "I believe that Lord Ling will act in his life, why should he explain to others!"

Wei Wuji thought that he acted righteously and uprightly, that he was worthy of the previous kings of Wei State, and worthy of the people of Wei State Liming.

That being the case, what is Wei Wuji afraid of?

So after hesitating for a moment, the expression on Wei Wuji's face has completely returned to normal. He glanced at Zhong Cheng in front of him, and said lightly: "You don't need to say more, I have made up my mind."

At noon the next day, Wei Wuji came to an open space about three or four miles away from the city gate early.

This place was obviously carefully selected, and it was right in the middle of Wei State Camp and Handan City.

Beside Wei Wuji were Zhong Cheng and [-] elite Wei soldiers who were fully armed.

Although the number of these soldiers is not too many, but each of these Wei soldiers is a super elite selected from a thousand miles. Even if the people of Zhao Guo really have some intentions, then there are three hundred Wei soldiers, which is enough to protect Wei Wuji and return safely. Wei Jun camp.

In fact, there are also large troops gathered in the Wei army camp, and if the situation is not right, the whole army will cover up and kill them.

The distance of a few miles is nothing more than a moment.

When Wei Wuji arrived, Zhao Dan hadn't appeared yet.

The sun at noon was scorching down from the sky, and there was nothing in this plain to block the sun, so the soldiers around Wei Wuji were all sweating in just a moment.

Zhong Cheng was guarding Wei Wuji's side, and he was furious in his heart: "Now that Handan is besieged, the king of Zhao has already become a shackle, how dare he make such a big deal!"

Wei Wuji was not as impetuous as Zhong Cheng, this Lord Xinling was sitting on the horse in military uniform today, looking majestic and majestic, looking at the gate of Handan with a calm expression, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Suddenly, the east gate of Handan, which was a few miles away from them, slowly opened, and a carriage drove out slowly under the guard of hundreds of Zhao cavalry.

Zhong Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes kept wandering around these cavalrymen: "Fifty, one hundred, one hundred, five, three hundred."

Three hundred cavalry.

These cavalrymen didn't know what they were wearing, and they reflected a very dazzling light in the sun. During the march, the light kept flashing back and forth in front of Zhong Cheng, as if a car was driving head-on at night with high beams on. Zhong Cheng couldn't help being dazzled, and just after counting the number of Zhao Jun, he hurriedly turned his head away, but his eyes were already stabbed so that tears flowed involuntarily.

Wei Wuji looked at the Zhao Jun cavalry in front of him with great interest, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It turns out that this is Zhao's famous armored cavalry, very interesting."

A moment later, accompanied by the sound of heavy horseshoes, Zhao Dan, who was guarded by [-] armored cavalry, appeared in front of Wei Wuji.

Chapter 4 Meeting in front of the formation (third update)

Zhao Dan is here.

Gao Guanbo, the great king of the Zhao Kingdom, was wearing a red and black cross-collared deep coat, sitting in a carriage pulled by six horses, looking very solemn and majestic.

This is not the first time Wei Wuji and Zhao Dan have met.

But at the moment when he saw Zhao Dan, Wei Wuji still had a feeling in his heart that the young King Zhao in front of him put more pressure on himself than when they met last time.

You must know that the last time we met, Zhao Dan was the king of Zhao State, and Wei Wuji was just a fleeing prince of Wei State. The gap between the two parties can be said to be one sky and one earth.

Now Zhao Dan is still the king of Zhao State, but Wei Wuji has also become the Prime Minister of Wei State, gathering the power of Wei State in one person.

From this point of view, the gap between the two sides has obviously narrowed, and it has narrowed a lot.

But Zhao Dan just looked at him with a calm look, but Wei Wuji couldn't help feeling an urge to get off his horse and pay homage to him.

This feeling didn't exist the last time we met, but this time it felt like an extremely heavy mountain, weighing heavily on Wei Wuji's heart.

In Wei Wuji's life for so many years before, he had met nearly ten monarchs of various countries, but only one person had ever given Wei Wuji this feeling.

That was when Wei Wuji accompanied Wei Wangyu to Xianyang to meet after the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Huayang. In Xianyang Palace, Qin Wangji, who sat high on the throne, seemed to be able to suppress the world with coercion.

At that time, Qin Wangji was like a tall mountain standing in front of Wei Wuji, which made Wei Wuji have an urge to breathe.

And now, Zhao Dan also gave Wei Wuji the same sense of pressure as Qin Wangji back then.

even stronger.

Wei Wuji took a deep breath, didn't get off the horse, just sat on the horse and bowed, and bowed very simply to Zhao Dan: "Wei Wuji has seen the king."

Zhao Dan looked at Wei Wuji quietly, but didn't speak immediately.

Wei Wuji didn't speak, and just looked at Zhao Dan calmly.

After a long while, Zhao Dan said slowly, "Mr. Xinling, Ruwei Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom belong to the Three Jin Alliance. Why did you break the alliance and lead the army to attack the widow?"

Zhao Dan's eyes were like knives, and his words were like swords. This invisible sword stabbed fiercely at Wei Wuji, as if he wanted to stab Wei Wuji full of holes, leaving no flesh and blood.

Wei Wuji said solemnly: "Don't you know the words of Qin Muchu? Before helping Zhao benefit Wei, Wei helped Zhao Ye. Now defeating Zhao benefits Wei, so Wei defeats Zhao Ye. Everything is so heavy, it's just a word of benefit."

Zhao Dan snorted heavily, and said: "What a Wei State who sees profit and forgets righteousness, what a Lord Xinling who sees profit and forgets righteousness! Since you prevaricate the widow with the interests of the country, then the widow would like to ask you, what about you?" The position of Xiangbang was won for you by the widow, so it’s fine if you don’t think about repaying it, but now you are leading an army to attack the widow, what’s the reason for that?”

Zhao Dan's words were stern, even though Lord Xinling was known for his wisdom, he couldn't answer for a while.
