Chapter 9 Brothers
With the mutual compromise between Qin, the most terrifying war machine today started to move with all its might. The soldiers from the entire Guanzhong Plain gathered towards the camp outside Xianyang, and even the soldiers from Shangjun and Longxi in the border areas were transferred to Xianyang. In just half a month, 200,000 soldiers had gathered outside Xianyang City, and the entire Weishui River was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
While Qin was allocating troops, a letter from Qin appeared in the tent of the general camp in front of Hangu Pass.
Xinlingjun looked at the letter written in brocade and silk in his hand, and his two heroic sword eyebrows couldn't help but frown together, asking for marriage?
"What does the King of Qin mean? No, maybe to be more precise, what does Lu Buwei mean?" Xinlingjun asked with a blanket.
"As the emperor saw, foreign ministers came to ask for marriage with the king's orders." Mao Jiao, an envoy of Qin, said.
"Now all the orders of Qin State come from Lu Buwei's disciples. The so-called king's order is just a shameful thing. Besides, as far as I know, the King of Qin is only thirteen years old, and he knows what a woman is at the age of thirteen." Xinling Jun smiled indifferently.
"Mr. Xinling, you should know that the king should not be humiliated. If you still do this, the Qin State will not mind fighting the death of your Wei State." Mao Jiao said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I'm wronged." Xinling Jun smiled, feeling that his words were indeed inappropriate.
"However, what the King of Qin said in his letter was that he came to marry because he admired my young girl. As far as I know, the King of Qin could not have seen my young girl. It was even more nonsense to admire him. However, the words in the letter of Qin were unbelievable." Xinlingjun pointed at the silk book placed on the table and said.
"What if the king had seen the youngest daughter of the king?" Mao Jiao asked.
"If it is true as the King of Qin said, I can consider it." Xinling Jun said half-true and half-falsely.
"Before leaving, the king handed over an item with foreign ministers, which might dispel Xinling Jun's doubts." Mao Jiao took out a box from his cuff.
Xinlingjun took the box and took out a piece of silk from it. After unfolding it, his hands couldn't help but shake. He saw a girl wearing a light-colored skirt above the silk. He was very familiar with Xinlingjun, who was talking because it was exactly what his young girl looked like several years ago.
"The net is really omnipresent." Xinlingjun sighed, "But who made this painting?"
"This matter has nothing to do with the net. As for the painting, it was painted by the king. The king said at that time that this was a noble girl he met when he was in Handan." Mao Jiao explained.
"I didn't expect that the King of Qin would have such painting skills. From this point of view, I have to believe it." Xinling Jun said.
"So, what's the matter of proposing marriage?" Mao Jiao seemed to have seen hope.
Xinling Jun smiled at Mao Jiao, and the next moment he had already sealed the portrait and letters again, saying, "How can my phoenix girl marry the son of tiger and wolf? Please come back by Qin envoy."
Mao Jiao was still to say something, but he was pushed out by the soldiers guarding the tent.
"King of Qin, an interesting boy, has a lot of ideas, but that's all." Xinlingjun shook his head and smiled.
Mao Jiao, who left the coalition camp, was not disappointed at all, because before coming here, he had already anticipated such a situation, so how could he be disappointed by these?
His carriage headed towards the east, which was his next goal, Daliang, the capital of Wei State, where was the highlight.
However, Mao Jiao seemed to leave too urgently, so that some things fell on the ground without any notice, and the soldiers who happened to pass by were in vain.
Not long after, Mao Jiao came to Daliang and told the same words to the King of Wei. The reaction was completely different from that of Xinlingjun. When the King of Wei heard that Mao Jiao came to propose marriage, he was very happy. It was not because his daughter could get married, but because he saw that the old enemy who had bullied them for almost a hundred years in Wei finally bowed his head. As for whether to agree to Qin's proposal, he had to think carefully.
In fact, the King of Wei never considered that his coalition forces on the coalition side could break through Hangu Pass.
Because there is not only one Hangu Pass. Although the Hangu Pass that crosses the mountain and Shandong is dangerous, it has not been broken. However, the Hangu Pass built in the hearts of the Qin people has never been broken, and it has never been done even when the Wei Kingdom was at its peak.
The King of Wei knew very well that once the Qin people were forced into anger, what kind of combat power would be erupted in Qin State? It would be a group of cold-blooded war devils.
So from the beginning, he never thought about getting too much. He just wanted to retake the land that Wei State had robbed by the King of Qin over the past decades.
However, he had not yet been able to regain the lost land of Wei, but in Daliang, news about Xinlingjun's impending power and usurpation of the throne gradually spread.
Surprised and suspicious, he hesitated for a long time, and forced himself to believe his younger brother who was very annoying but had to get close to him until the arrival of Mao Jiao, the envoy of Qin.
The Palace of Wei, the King of Wei, who has been in a good mood recently because of the flattery of Qin envoys, has his smile on his face at this time.
"The King, the Qin envoy Mao Jiao, once said after being drunk that the King of Qin actually wanted to marry Xinlingjun's daughter, but Xinlingjun refused, Mao Jiao came to Daliang." A close servant beside the King of Wei said.
"Be serious?" King Wei's mentality broke a little.
"It should be true. It was what Mao Jiaozui said. At that time, the Qin State actually hoped that the King of Qin could marry the princess. However, the King of Qin said that the one who could really influence our Wei State was Xinling Jun. If the two countries wanted to make peace, it would be more appropriate to marry Xinling Jun's daughter. Later, Lu Buwei and others argued with the King of Qin, so they decided to propose marriage to Xinling Jun first. If not, they would come to Daliang again."
The face of King Wei instantly became extremely ugly. A thirteen-year-old Qin Wang knew what Xinling Jun, but because King Qin was a young man, he had to have a view that was undoubtedly the simplest and straightforward. The people of Qin only knew Xinling Jun in their hearts but did not know him, King Wei.
There is actually a dead end between the King of Wei and his younger brother. Many people think that King of Wei is jealous of his younger brother's talents, but King of Wei knows that he has never been jealous of his younger brother's talents, because Xinlingjun's origin has determined that he can always be a minister.
The real knot between them was when Xinling Jun stole the talisman and saved Zhao from killing the general Wang Feng ten years ago.
Although that battle saved Zhao State, it caused heavy losses to the 100,000 Wei Wushu, who had worked hard for the two generations of King Wei, to suffer heavy losses. What did the blood of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers get? It was just a beautiful name that Xinling Jun was praised by the world.
The tragic loss was borne by him, the King of Wei, but the benefits were all subject to Xinling Jun. No one could be able to balance it.
What's more, the one who helped Xinlingjun steal the tiger talisman was his pillow, which was even more taboo, whether it was the King of Wei or the identity of a man.
"This little Qin King's mind is indeed poisonous. Although he knows that it is probably fake, Gu's anger can't be suppressed." King Wei said helplessly.
"These may not be the Qin King's plan. King. Today I heard that Xinling Jun and Xianyang have many letters. The secret spies in the military camp stole one and asked the king to take a look." The nearby servant presented a silk letter and said.
When the King of Wei opened it, he saw that the content was mostly irrelevant chatter. Whenever he was in a tight place, the handwriting was always covered by a ball of ink traces. The King of Wei was particularly dazzling when he looked at the ball of ink traces. What was it covering it?
"King, I have a saying that should be said or not." The closest servant said respectfully.
"What's the matter?"
"Now that Xinling Jun attacked Qin, all the soldiers of the king died in battle, but all the reputation fell on Xinling Jun. Xinling Jun was complacent about this, and he didn't think that it was the king who fulfilled him. He would do this too...."
"Stop talking, there are some words you shouldn't say." King Wei was annoyed.
The words of the servant touched many bad memories of him.
King Wei, whose wounds were torn apart again, felt very unhappy. He could only go back and hone his driving skills to relieve his boredom, but then he felt even worse.
After receiving more and more news about Xinlingjun, the King of Wei, who was already in his heart, became more and more depressed after receiving more and more news about Xinlingjun. As the Qin State was gathering troops on a large scale, even the troops in Nanjun were gathering, the King of Wei could not sit still.
