"General, I hope you guys have come to pick us up." In a small courtyard in Daliang City, Feng Quji heard the sound coming from the sky and rushed to the side courtyard excitedly.
"I heard that, that's great. Zhao Guo has indeed not forgotten us." Le Cheng was so excited that he almost shed tears.
He thought that after coming out of the royal city, he would be able to return to the Kingdom of Zhao in glory. Who would have thought that he would be trapped in Daliang for so long? He thought that the Kingdom of Zhao had given up on him and was going to die to apologize. Unexpectedly, Le Yi came to pick him up in person. go back.
"Not only Wang Zhujun, but also Zhao Feiqi and the imperial guards, which means that the king has returned to Handan." Li Si and Jia Yan also rushed in.
Although Wei Wuji and others could also mobilize soldiers and horses, no one except Zhao Kuo could mobilize the military soul army.
The Army Soul Legion only obeys Zhao Kuo's orders.
"Only your Majesty will take us back first, putting Jiuding behind." Jia Yan has been leading troops in wars for so many years, but he never thought that at this age he could still experience what it means to be moved.
"Damn it, just because the king thinks we are more important than Jiuding, I will work for him for the rest of my life." Le Yi punched the table with his fist, but he couldn't hold back, and the fine huanghuali wood table was smashed into pieces by the hammer.
"Your Majesty values us, and we can't let him down. This time I not only ask the Wei Kingdom to give the Jiuding to Zhao Kingdom, but I also want to kill him severely." Li Si said fiercely.
He was tricked by the Qin State and he remembered it until now. He has not yet avenged his revenge, and the Wei Kingdom also came to trick him.
Do you really think Li Si is easy to mess with?
Feng Quji walked outside the door and looked around. There was no one in the yard. Two soldiers stood at the gate, looking around irritably. There was no sign of any guards. It was obvious that they knew that it was impossible for them to do it alone. Look at Lecheng and others.
Therefore, Wei's supervision of them is just a formality. As long as they don't go to the military camp, they can go anywhere.
After all, two extraordinary men and two top wise men, apart from mobilizing an army to suppress them, no one else could be Le Cheng's opponent.
It can be said that if Le Cheng and Jia Yan can be ruthless and throw away the army, it will not be a problem for the two of them to sneak back to Handan.
But as generals, it is impossible for them to do this.
"What are you going to do?" Lecheng asked.
"General, just wait and see. If nothing else happens, King Wei will send someone to pick us up soon." A meaningful smile appeared on Li Si's face.
On the other side, the King of Wei led the civil and military ministers to the city gate anxiously and ordered people to open the city gate. When he looked up, he saw Le Yi riding a horse.
King Wei laughed loudly at first, then raised his hands and said, "I have been admiring you for a long time, and today I finally got my wish. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet. I hope you will follow me into the city soon!"
The smile on King Wei's old face was brighter than a flower. He couldn't tell that he had just been slapped in the face by Le Yi. Those who didn't know it thought Le Yi was invited to Wei by him.
"There's no need to enter the city. Le Yi has a question to ask King Wei." Le Yi didn't even get off his horse, and his voice was loud enough for the whole city to hear.
Zhao Kuo sent him to lead Zhao Feiqi and the imperial guards, and the purpose was obvious.
Then they are not here to negotiate with Wei, but to pay blood for blood, tooth for tooth.
If Wei slaps Zhao, Zhao will slap him back hard.
So Le Yi is very confident.
"Ahem... I hope you all come from afar. I have to show my gratitude to the landlord no matter what. Besides, I have already set up a banquet. It won't be too late to talk about it after it's over." King Wei said in a pleasant manner, feeling very happy in his heart. Swear all over.
In front of a large audience, you still use your inner energy to make your voice louder, for fear that others will not hear you. This is not saving any face for yourself.
"I would like to ask the King of Wei, our three Jins jointly sent troops to support the Zhou Kingdom. Why was our Zhao army detained by the King of Wei in Daliang when we withdrew our troops?" Le Yi did not answer the question of the King of Wei, but asked directly.
"It turns out that Zhao Jun was really detained in Daliang..."
"The Zhao army did not harass the people of the country. Besides, the official road from Daliang to Handan was built by Wei and Zhao. I just walked there.
It must be kept here. "
"Yes, your Majesty, what you did is really unethical."
When the people around him heard Le Yi's words, they immediately started talking.
The three families of Han, Zhao and Wei came from the same place in the Three Jin Dynasties and had similar cultural customs, so they had an extra sense of identity.
In the past few years, Zhao's goods have continued to pour into Wei, and at the same time, Zhao's benefits have been promoted in Wei.
Under the cultural export driven by business, the people of Wei became more and more fond of Zhao.
In addition, the Wei State was not responsible for this matter. For a time, almost everyone blamed the King of Wei.
Although everyone's voices were so low that King Wei couldn't hear clearly what was being said, he could guess that what these people said was not good.
At this time, King Wei's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, and he looked at Le Yi angrily.
Is there anything we can’t discuss in private? Why should these civilians hear it? Do you understand the unspoken rules among nobles? Who will be in awe of me in the future?
Le Yi looked at King Wei calmly, without a trace of emotion on his face.
"Ahem... I was boating on the lake a few days ago. I caught a cold and was bedridden. I didn't know about it until this morning. I didn't know about it." The king of Wei embarrassedly picked himself off, and the excuse he used was full of flaws. Read the book
"Who on earth detained the Zhao army in Daliang without authorization? Now admit your mistake to me and Wang Zhujun immediately. I hope that for the sake of Zhao Wei's allies, you may be spared. Otherwise, once I find out, I will definitely Severe punishment will not be tolerated."
The King of Wei scolded, wanting Le Yi to let Wei go for the sake of the alliance between Zhao and Wei, at least not to embarrass him so much.
Just admitting your mistake?
hehe.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Le Yi's mouth, and he quietly watched King Wei's performance.
The ministers behind you look at me and I look at you, but no one wants to stand up.
Finally, Zhang Yan stood up helplessly.
At the beginning, he strongly opposed the detention of Zhao Jun. Now that Zhao Guo has come, he has to stand up and take the blame. What kind of bullshit is this?
But someone must stand up and take the blame for King Wei!
"I am guilty! I just saw Zhao Jun's extraordinary combat prowess and wanted to keep Zhao Jun in Wei for a while to learn Zhao Jun's training methods. I had no intention of detaining Zhao Jun." Zhang Yan said sadly.
Wei Yang, Xin Yuanyan and others were relieved when they saw Zhang Yan standing up.
"Who asked you to do such a thing without authorization? I will demote you three ranks as a warning." King Wei glanced at Zhang Yan gratefully, scolded angrily, and then saluted Le Yi with a smile: "I hope you guys have seen it too, This is just a misunderstanding. We, the State of Wei, definitely did not detain Zhao Jun, and it is impossible for us to do such a thing."
"Haha," Le Yi sneered twice, "If that's the case, why did it take so long for me to arrive in Daliang without seeing my Zhao Jun coming to greet me?"
"The military camp is still some distance away from Daliang. It will take a lot of time to get there. Why don't you, general, just have a banquet and wait." King Wei said, signaling to the ministers behind him to hurry up and release Zhao Jun.
"There is no need to have a banquet. I will wait here for our Zhao soldiers to come." Le Yi looked indifferent and did not dismount, nor did he let Zhao Feiqi and the imperial guards dismount.
Eight thousand soldiers stood like sculptures outside Daliang City, and no one made a sound.
If Le Yi did not move, the King of Wei and the ministers of civil and military affairs did not dare to return to the city. The King of Wei and the ministers of civil and military affairs did not leave, and neither did the people of Wei.
There were a lot of discussions around, some were discussing the king of Wei, and some were discussing the army of Zhao.
King Wei's face turned dark and white for a while.
Not long after, the detained Zhao Jun soldiers ran over from a distance. After seeing Zhao Feiqi and the Imperial Guards, they were so excited that they shed tears.
"General Zhang Tian pays homage to all of you."
"The last general, Wang Wu, pays homage to all of you."
"A hundred generals will pay homage to you."
"Soldier Well pays homage to you all."
Zhao Jun walked up to Le Yi and saluted.
"Were there any casualties during the period in Daliang?" Le Yi asked in a deep voice.
"General, no one died, and 232 brothers were injured.
hurt. That day, the Wei army suddenly surrounded our camp. The brothers disagreed and started fighting with them. Later, Li Si joined the army and told us not to fight, and Zhao Guo would take us back. The brothers did not resist. "Le Cheng and others were not around, so Zhang Tian, a general of thousands, stepped forward and answered.
"They are all well done. All the injured brothers will be promoted to the next level after they return." Le Yi said loudly.
"Thank you, everyone." All Zhao Jun who had just been released shouted excitedly.
"Where are Le Cheng, Li Si and others?" Le Yi asked.
"General, General Lecheng and General Li Si are not with us," Zhang Tian said.
"I understand. Come back to the team." Le Yi nodded. This was normal. If Le Cheng was in the army, he wouldn't be so easily manipulated by Wei.
"No." Zhao Jun walked behind Zhao Feiqi and the imperial guards in turn, lined up, and looked ahead with his head held high.
They believe that Zhao Guo will definitely seek justice for them.
"King Wei, our Zhao army is missing a general, a deputy general, and two soldiers." Le Yi looked at King Wei.
The King of Wei looked at the ministers behind him uneasily. The Zhao army was here, and Le Cheng and others should have arrived even if they crawled.
"They don't want to come out." The minister said with a grimace. "The man named Li Si said that they will never leave the courtyard unless the king personally invites them."
"..." King Wei's face turned red, and his nails dug deeply into his palms. He wanted to kill Li Si. When did Wei State restrict your travel? Do you go out of the yard less these days? Now give me this set.
"I'm going to invite you." The King of Wei took a deep breath, forced out a smile, and said to Le Yi: "I hope you guys don't know anything. General Lecheng and I are old acquaintances. I don't want to leave our Wei Kingdom for a while. I will... I will personally go and ask General Lecheng to apologize. Please wait a moment."
After saying that, King Wei hurriedly walked towards the city.
Not long after, Lecheng Li Si and others walked out of the city.
"Looking at you all." Lecheng and others bowed and saluted.
"Shameful." Le Yi glared at Le Cheng, who lowered his head and walked to stand behind Le Yi.
"The misunderstanding has been resolved. I also hope that after you return to your country, you can explain it to King Zhao on my behalf, so that King Zhao does not misunderstand." King Wei said with a smile, and kept pleading in his heart, please hurry up and leave, I am just asking for it. is you.
"Wait a minute, my soldiers from the Zhao Kingdom were injured by your Wei army, won't the King of Wei give me an explanation from the Zhao Kingdom?" Le Yi asked in a deep voice.
King Wei's face froze.
I knew things couldn't end so easily!
Zhao Jun's eyes lit up, here comes the key point!
Zhang Yan understood that Zhao Guo was asking for compensation. At this time, he could not let King Wei come to talk in person, let alone talk in public, so he quickly whispered a few words in King Wei's ear.
"I hope you, gentlemen, please come to the city to discuss in detail." King Wei said.
"That's fine." Le Yi did not refuse this time, "Li Si, Feng Quji will enter the city with me, while the others are waiting outside the city."
Le Cheng and others were all military generals, so they were not of much use in negotiations. They might as well use two mouths.
Soon, a group of people arrived at the palace. This time, King Wei did not mention the banquet and started negotiations directly.
"We, the State of Wei, are willing to compensate all injured soldiers, five thousand coins each." Zhang Yan glanced at the King of Wei who was sitting on top and said.
Le Yi did not answer, but looked at Li Si. Li Si immediately understood what Le Yi meant, stood up and said, "Five thousand dollars, how about sending it to a beggar? Or do you think that the State of Wei, the State of Zhao, is short of your five thousand dollars? All of that." If we add all the people together, it will cost us 20 million yuan, not even a penny less."
"Although some people in the Zhao army were injured, they were all minor injuries. We, the State of Wei, have sent people to treat them. On the contrary, in the State of Wei, hundreds of people died at the hands of the Zhao army. The State of Zhao should not go too far." Zhang Yan said in a deep voice.
There was no other way. The King of Wei was afraid that things would be difficult to deal with in the end, so he specifically ordered that the Zhao army's camp should be surrounded. Do not fight with the Zhao army, let alone cause casualties.
But if Wei Jun doesn't take action, it doesn't mean that Zhao Jun won't take action.
Seeing Wei Jun rushing over to wrap him up,
How could Zhao Jun hold back the siege? Carrying weapons and rushing forward, the Wei army lost hundreds of people in one fell swoop.
"I, the State of Zhao, have gone too far? Why do you, the State of Wei, have the nerve to say such things? If your State of Wei, your State of Zhao, does not detain my State of Zhao, will my State of Zhao take action? It is a shame that our State of Zhao still regards your State of Wei as an ally and trusts your State of Wei so much. Either pay compensation of 20 million yuan, or see the real seal on the battlefield. It's your choice." Li Si cursed.
Zhang Yan looked at King Wei and Wei Yang. The two culprits were silent at this time. Zhang Yan sighed, and his momentum plummeted. He suddenly understood why Kong Bin and Fan Zuo did not want to stay in Wei and serve as prime ministers when they went back to farm.
"We, the State of Wei, agreed." Zhang Yan was too lazy to fight for benefits.
King Wei and the ministers looked at Le Yi, I gave you the money, you can go now, I really don’t want to see you again for a moment.
"There are also military expenses for Zhao Feiqi and the imperial guards, as well as the mental damage expenses for Zhao Jun." Li Si thought that the term he heard from Zhao Kuo should be mental damage expenses.
"What did you say?" King Wei stood up and stared at Li Si like a furious lion.
"If the Wei State hadn't detained our Zhao army, our Zhao State would not have sent Zhao Feiqi and the imperial guards. Shouldn't this part of the military expenses be counted on the Wei State?" Li Si said in a deep voice.
"What about the mental damages?" King Wei tried his best to endure the anger in his heart.
"I, the nearly 10,000 soldiers of Zhao's army, have been worried for such a long time and cannot eat well or sleep well. It is reasonable to ask for some compensation." Li Si said calmly.
"It's reasonable... it's not reasonable. Since ancient times, I have never heard of mental damage compensation." King Wei cursed in his heart, but gritted his teeth and said: "How much does Zhao Guo want?"
"Fifty million dollars." Li Si said.
"Impossible. The most I can give Zhao is another 20 million yuan." King Wei roared angrily.
"Deal." Li Si said immediately.
King Wei and the ministers looked at Le Yi and Li Si again, thinking that they could finally leave now.
