The day after Wei Qi hid in Zhao, Lord Pingyuan informed Lord Pingyang of the incident. The two of them did not notify the foreign ministers, but went straight inside to report the illness of King Zhao. King Zhao lay on the mat, closed his eyes and listened to Lord Pingyuan finish, mumbling a few words indistinctly. The queen who was standing by the side leaned to King Zhao's ear and listened, then raised her head and said, "I would like to hear Lord Pingyang's plan!"
Pingyang Jun said: "Qin and Wei are fighting, and Wei Qi enters Zhao. It is to lure Qin into Zhao. I hope the king will reject it!"
Prince Pingyuan said: "Wei Qi is in a state of poverty and has come to surrender. It is unjust to refuse. I wish to hide and stay."
Pingyang Jun said: "The power of Wei and Qi is not poor. The Prime Minister of Wei is proud of the king and circulates among the dynasties. Although he offends the Prime Minister of Qin, the King of Wei protects him, so his power is not poor."
King Zhao muttered a few more words, and the queen said: "The king would like to hear that Wei Qi has offended Prime Minister Qin."
Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang looked at each other. Lord Pingyuan said: "I heard that Qin Yinghou Zhang Lu is from Wei. His real name is Fan Ju. He traveled all over the world and joined the family of Xu Jia, the official in Wei. Xu Jia was envoy to Qi, and Fan Ju followed him. He won the king's favor and gave him cattle and wine. He wanted to betray Wei and sued Wei Qi. Wei Qi humiliated him with his staff and almost died, but he was rescued by others. Yin sneaked into Qin and became interested in the king of Qin. He first became a guest minister and then returned to the defense. Hedong, in the tenth month of last year, he worshiped the Prime Minister and made him a marquis. I heard that he once defined Qu and Shu Han, and he made great achievements. He also prospered Hedong and Anyi. The King of Qin discussed the war with him. He had to go to Qin to worship him, and when he arrived, he learned that Qin Prime Minister Zhang Lu was his Therefore, the official Fan Ju was very humiliated. He wanted to gain the leadership of Wei Qi again, but he refused to massacre Daliang. The king of Qin did the same. Wei Qi then fled to Zhao, but Wei Dan pushed Qi to its death in order to block Qin."
Mr. Pingyuan tried his best to stand in a neutral position and told the whole story of what he knew without emotion, but it could still be heard from between the lines that he sympathized with Wei Qi.
Pingyang Jun said very disapprovingly: "It is possible to say that Fan Ju betrayed Wei, or to kill him, or to join the clan, but how can he kill him with his own stick and then humiliate him again? Wei Qi can be said to be ungrateful!"
King Zhao muttered a few more times, and the queen said: "The king would like my second brother to consult with Yu Qing." The two of them went out and came to the front hall. I ordered someone to invite Yu Qing.
Prince Pingyuan said: "I have some secrets and problems, and I would like to ask you for advice. Yesterday, Wei Qi, Prime Minister of Wei, came to my house. He is hated by the King of Qin, and it would be unjust to eliminate him. If he is allowed to remain, Qin's resentment will return to Zhao." What can I do?"
Yu Qing replied without hesitation: "But if you act with righteousness, there is no need to worry! If you are afraid of Qin, you can just hide it."
Lord Pingyuan said: "Your opinion agrees with mine. But is Wei afraid of Qin? Will it lead Qin to the east and blame Zhao for its disaster?"
Yu Qing said: "Since the war between Qin and Zhao, Qin and Zhao have been in trouble, and it is difficult to solve the situation. How can it be with Wei and Qi? If it is enough to resist Qin, what trouble will Wei and Qi have if it is not enough to resist? If it is not enough to resist, even if Wei Qi is defeated, How can we make up for it? If we don't stay in Qi, we can think of it as the foundation of the alliance with Wei. Before Wei, we lost Hexi, lost Hedong again, lost Anyi again, and now lost Nanyang. They were often defeated in every battle, lost troops and territory, and their courage was low. Han and Qin Neighbors, they have been subservient to Qin for a long time. Zhao defeated Qin once, but Wei and Han turned their backs. Zhao's opportunity to lead an alliance cannot be lost. Now pretend that Wei and Qi are at peace with Wei, and Wei and Han are at peace, and the three Jins are at peace with Qin. Without going east, Zhao will have the safety of Mount Tai. Take Qi in the east and submit to Yan in the north, and half of the world will be conquered. Use the power of the five countries to attack Hangu, and Qin will submit. If Qin submits, Chu will have nothing to say."
Lord Pingyang said: "Every time a strategist makes a big statement to bring order to the world, there are many disharmony. Now that Wei and Qi have been conquered, Qin will definitely blame them and raise their troops. What will they do?"
Yu Qing said: "Qin and Zhao are geographically difficult to connect. How can Qin attack Zhao? If he goes to Hanoi, he will have the land of Han and Wei; if he goes to Taiyuan, the mountains and rivers will be blocked. Even if Qin has a hundred thousand people, he can't pass it. Yes. If Han and Wei are abandoned, Qin Dan will leave Zhi and arrive at Handan in the evening. Therefore, we should make peace with Han and Wei, and Wei and Qi will definitely rescue them!"
Lord Pingyuan said: "What you said is my sincere wish. It should be reported to the king."
Yu Qing said: "Although I can't show it to the princes, I can hide it in Handan and wait for Wei He."
Lord Pingyuan said: "I sincerely accept your teaching!"
So Zhao left Wei Qi and lived in a large house, which was only said to be Lord Pingyuan's outer room. And Yu Qing began to travel back and forth between the three Jin Dynasties.
In midsummer, the Yellow River is shallow. Qin envoys flew to Han and Wei to report that Marquis Rang was about to leave Xianyang and return to his fiefdom.
Previously, Lord Jingyang and Lord Gaoling had already sealed their fiefdoms. Their fiefdoms were Wan and Deng, both of which were within Qin Nanyang County. They had already been sealed. Although the new city of Huayang Jun's fiefdom is isolated, it is at the border of various countries' forces. Moreover, Huayang Jun is old and weak, so he can't afford it. He allocates some fiefdoms to Mrs. Huayang, who is allowed to stay in Xianyang. Only Ranghou was special: although his fief Rang was in Nanyang County, Tao was in the lower reaches of Jishui River. Tao was far more prosperous and prosperous than Rang, so Ranghou decided to grant Tao a title, which required crossing the borders between Korea and Wei.
Unlike Lord Jingyang and Lord Gaoling, who were granted the title peacefully, the granting of the title of Ranghou could be described as shaking the earth! I said hello to Wei and Han a month in advance, not to mention the uproar in the city, and the start of the journey was also earth-shattering!
Wei Ran handed over all the land and residences in Xianyang, and took away all the property, retainers, relatives, concubines, and people and goods along the Wei River. It took half a month to transport them all.
Wei Ran applied his talent in commanding thousands of troops to this move. He gave clear instructions on who was the forward and who was the center, where the baggage was, and where to take it. But even so, it took such a long time. It can be seen that Lots of possessions. On the last day, Wei Ran personally transported the last batch of belongings onto the ship, said goodbye to the officials from the old ministry who came to see him off at the ferry, and boarded the ship with the hundreds of people behind him. Ten light boats guarded the five large ships in the middle, heading straight down the Wei River.
For half a month, the Qin people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait had exhausted their admiration and lost interest in looking at this huge fleet. They were each doing what they were supposed to do. When the ship arrived at the abandoned hill, the fleet paused for a moment to tip. Zhang Lu quietly got on the boat. After the two of them greeted each other, Zhang Lu said: "I have collected all the treasures of Qin. I have accumulated them for hundreds of years to get this ear. I hope you can show your talents and fulfill your ambition."
Wei Ran said: "In the end, the king did not care about Tao Yi. I thought it was a mistake."
Zhang Lu said: "I am willing to approach both the near and the far, and arrive slowly, which is not as rough as the ruler's strategy. However, although I am not sensitive, the ruler has what he needs, and there is nothing he dares not to do without preparation."
Wei Ran said: "The success of Tao Yi's strategy can only be seen in a few days after ten years."
Zhang Lu said: "The king is still in good health, ten years is not too late."
Wei Ran said: "My son and I are walking east and west side by side. We only want to rescue each other and no one will be harmed!"
Zhang Lu said: "If I hear the orders of the emperor and do not obey, I will die under the axe!"
Wei Ran said: "The Prime Minister is responsible for governing the people, and his talent is greater than that of the ministers. If you can use Tao to reward the Prime Minister, I will not regret my death!"
Zhang Lu said: "I hope that the king will rule the world. Tao will rule."
They each drank a glass of wine, and Zhang Lu resigned. Ranghou's fleet set off and continued to move forward.
The next afternoon, the fleet arrived at the mouth of the river. Everyone moved the goods into the post station, placed them properly, rested overnight, loaded them into trucks the next day, and transported them to Hangu Pass.
Cattle, horses, baggage carts, leather carts, and even carriages collected from various counties also arrived at Hangu Pass one after another. Naturally, there will also be escort personnel from various counties. For a time, Hangu Pass seemed to be about to go into battle, and it was very lively.
Since the Qin army often passed through Hangu Pass when going out or retreating, Lieutenant Hangu was used to it. He handled the baggage and leather carts from various counties in an orderly manner, arranged them one by one at the post station to feed them, and loaded them out of the pass smoothly. No problem. When Wei Ran arrived, he rested for five days at Hangu Pass and loaded the last people and goods on the truck.
According to the Queen Mother's instructions, Wei Ran dismissed all the young concubines and asked them to marry themselves. But those who are older will definitely not be able to get married and will have to follow Wei Ran to Taoyi. Wei Ran ordered a safe car for each of them, where they could sit and lie down. Just installing the car would cost forty or fifty rides. Only the woman who was in the car knew that there were not only people in the car, but also some rare treasures. Protecting the safety of these treasures is their most important task.
Zhang Lu mobilized 1,500 oxen, 1,000 horses, 1,500 various chariots, and 6,000 charioteers. In addition to Ranghou's personal camp of 4,000 people and more than 100 family members and retainers, this team of tens of thousands is fully capable of attacking cities and demolishing strongholds. Moreover, there are so many vehicles and supplies, it can be called a luxury!
A thousand men and a hundred chariots set out first to take the front station, and a thousand men and a hundred chariots followed behind to suppress the formation. Wei Ran personally led 2,000 men and 1,300 chariots to form the central army. Due to too many vehicles, the convoy was stretched out for several miles. Rest along the way, and the journey is winding. Whenever he passed through counties and counties, local officials would greet him and send him off. There were also various gifts, and Wei Ran accepted them all without rejecting them. The convoy is getting longer.
When the carriage arrived in Luoyang, King Zhou also sent someone to greet him and presented him with a piece of jade and a piece of brocade. Marquis Rang also accepted them and stuffed them into the carriage, and a woman accepted them, which made Zhou confused. I am so embarrassed.
Wei Ran, his family and retainers stayed in the house requisitioned by the front team, while the others were scattered around the city. As soon as they settled in, they saw a bus from the front team leading someone through the courtyard and directly into the hall. When Wei Ran opened his eyes, it turned out to be Wu An Jun Bai Qi. Wei Ran was shocked, sat up and asked anxiously: "You are guarding the east of the river, how can you cross the south of the river?"
Bai Qi said: "I heard that your Majesty has passed by here, so I would like to send you my special greetings!"
Wei Ran said: "Qin Fa, I'll kill General Li from guarding the ground!"
Bai Qi said: "Both Zhi and Mengjin belong to the east of Hedong. I am not here just to leave the defense. I hope you will not be surprised!"
Wei Ran said: "We are guarding Anyi in the east of the river. Why did you come here?"
Bai Qi said: "Since Zhi Wen has been determined, we should take care of the rest. I am here to stay here because of my teachings, and it is not for the sake of separation."
Wei Ran said: "What should be the second best?"
Bai Qi said: "Either in the south we can reach Henei, or in the north we can take Fenshang, but we have to wait for him!"
Wei Ran said: "Is it possible to get it?"
Bai Qi said: "What's the point of taking it? It's difficult to determine it!"
Wei Ran said: "What will be the decision?"
Bai Qi said: "Wang Fu appointed Pi Wan as his captain and decided to control the east of the river."
Wei Ran said: "Wan served as a lieutenant in Hedong for many years and made great achievements. I want to use it as an internal history and even return to Hedong."
Bai Qi said: "Being attentive to the people is very good at governing... The king is old, how can he force him to return to his country?" It seems that he saw that Marquis Rang intended to lead the topic to other places, so Bai Qi changed the topic without hesitation. Come to the aspects that concern you most.
