"Your Majesty, Zhang Qigong, fortunately did not disgrace his orders and came here to report back to His Majesty."

In the study room of Ganlu Hall, Zhang Qigong bowed his hands to King Zhao Run of Wei.

"Qi Gong, you did a good job."

Zhao Run nodded and praised.

In fact, as early as a month ago, Zhao Run received the news that Zhang Qigong sent people back from South Korea. He learned that Qin Kai, Le Yi, Yan Cree, Sima Shang and other Korean generals had been persuaded by Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu.

He surrendered to Wei State.

"Thank you for your majesty's commendation. I am terrified."

Zhang Qigong said humbly.

"There is nothing to be afraid of. As I said that day, if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. This time you assisted Zhao Jiang and others to overthrow South Korea, and also instigated Qin Kai, Le Yi and others, your real contributions are indispensable.

I will give you the title of admonishing doctor..."

The admonishment minister is a minister who has the power to directly advise the monarch. Like the ministers in the inner dynasty, each admonishment minister is promoted to an official position. It is not so much an official position as a privilege or honor.

In fact, Zhang Qigong actually had the opportunity to become a minister of the Inner Dynasty at first, but by mistake, he became the official of Tiance Mansion. Therefore, he, an official on the side of Tiance Mansion, has not officially obtained the title.

The official admonishment officer was an official on the 'court side', but in fact, Zhang Qigong had the power to directly admonish the monarch very early on, so it was only in name but in name only.

But now, it is finally justified.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although he felt that this reward was a bit light, Zhang Qigong still handed it over to express his gratitude.

Unexpectedly, Wei Wang Zhao Run waved his hand and said: "I haven't finished speaking yet." After that, he continued: "In addition, I know that you are from Huangchi County, so I will give you... food in the city of Huangchi. Thank you, Huang

Chihou."

"..."

Even though Zhang Qigong was of weak nature, he was stunned and speechless after hearing these words.

You know, since King Zhao Run of Wei came to the throne, although the court has successively conferred many marquises, most of them are virtual marquises in name only. A marquis like Zhang Qigong who has been granted the title of "food city" is really the first time.

One serving.

What's more important is that Zhang Qigong is from Huangchi County. This time the King of Wei also named him "Huangchi Marquis". This was obviously to allow him to return to his hometown in glory. This was such a glorious thing for his family.

"I, I am scared."

Zhang Qigong endured the excitement in his heart and bowed sincerely.

"As I just said, you deserve this. There is no need to panic." Walking to Zhang Qigong, Zhao Run helped him up, patted the latter's arm, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard these days too.

Now, I will allow you to rest for a while and let you go back to Huangchi County to make arrangements. Remember to come back before the court celebration banquet... By then, I have one more important thing for you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhang Qigong thanked him and immediately asked tentatively: "I dare to ask, but I don't know what it is?"

"I knew you would ask."

Zhao Run smiled, walked back to the dragon case, picked up a stack of paper from the dragon case, and handed it to Zhang Qigong.

Zhang Qigong took it respectfully, and after glancing at the contents on the paper, his face showed a hint of suspicion, and he looked at Zhao Run in confusion: "The "Wei-Qin Armistice Agreement"?"

"Hmm."

Zhao Run nodded and explained: "I had originally deployed troops to prepare for an expanded war with Qin, but unexpectedly, the King of Qin took the initiative to negotiate with me, the Wei Dynasty, hoping to temporarily suspend the two countries' armies."

Zhang Qigong is a wise man. When he heard this, he felt that something was not right. He frowned and said: "Qin State wants to make a truce with Wei Dynasty at this time? This... excuse me, I shouldn't say this. Isn't Qin State like this?"

Should we take advantage of Wei's weakness to step up our attack?"

"Because the Qin State understands that if it continues to fight, it will be nothing more than a situation of one death and one injury. Therefore, the King of Qin hopes to have a temporary truce with the Wei Dynasty, hoping to turn the attention of the Wei Dynasty to Qi Chu... and he can take the opportunity to attack Bashu.

"

"Bashu?" Zhang Qigong frowned, then nodded in realization and said, "It must be for the food of Bashu."

"good."

Zhao Run nodded and said with a smile: "Although I, the Wei Dynasty, have signed an armistice agreement with the Qin State, it does not mean that I, the Wei Dynasty, cannot interfere with it. I... intend to send you to Bashu to take charge of this matter." After a pause.

After a pause, he added: "Qin is our enemy of Wei, and the Ba people are also our enemies of Wei. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Qigong understood the implication of the monarch in front of him and was quite excited.

Seeing this, Zhao Run said again: "When you go to Bashu, try not to use our army from the Wei Dynasty. You can command the Jie people in Nanyang. I will inform the Northern Sichuan Alliance about this in the future and ask Bosile to send people to assist.

You negotiate with the Jie people in Nanyang... However, just in case, you can also mobilize the Wei army in "Qiandi" if necessary."

"Qiandi?"

Zhang Qigong was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, does the Wei State have troops in Guizhou? Why didn't I know?

Seemingly seeing through Zhang Qigong's thoughts, Wei King Zhao Run said with a smile: "In the past, we did not have a garrison in Guizhou Province, but there will be in the future..."

Yes, the land of Guizhou is a place rich in oil as known to the Wei State. In the past, the Wei State did not have the ability to occupy that land and exploit it vigorously, but now, the Wei State has fully achieved this strength. Therefore, Wei Wang Zhao Run hopes to let the oil be mined as soon as possible.

The barren land in Guizhou Province in the eyes of the world belonged to the Wei State, and the corresponding resources were vigorously exploited.

If nothing unexpected happens, the troops sent to Qiandi will be the Shangshui military department.

"There is no rush to go to Bashu right now. You can arrange other things before heading to Bashu." Zhao Run said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He raised his hands and saw that the monarch in front of him had nothing to say, so Zhang Qigong said: "Your Majesty, except for Qin Kaishang who is stationed in Yuyang and has not followed the ministers to Luoyang, the rest of the people of the Wei Dynasty are willing to submit to us.

All the generals have brought their families with them.

Arriving at Luoyang..." After a pause, he took out a letter from his arms, handed it to the monarch in front of him, and said: "Although Qin Kai cannot come to Luoyang in person because he is stationed in Yuyang, he is willing to surrender to me.

Wei, this is his handwritten letter."

Zhao Run took the letter and immediately ordered Yan Shun, the Huben guard who was guarding outside the Ganlu Palace, and Tong Xin said: "Yanshun, Tong Xin, you two will send it to Huang Chihou, and by the way, Le Yi, Yan Cree,

Sima Shang and other generals are invited to come here."

"As ordered." Yan Shun and Tong Xin walked into the palace as instructed.

Zhang Qigong didn't politely refuse. In fact, he also understood that in fact he was the "by the way", but there was no need to tell the truth about this kind of thing.

What's more, the awards he received this time were far beyond his imagination. Even at this moment, he still couldn't believe it.

After Zhang Qigong resigned, Zhao Run took advantage of the opportunity to summon Le Yi and others to open Qin Kai's letter and read it carefully.

He didn't care that Qin Kai did not follow Zhang Qigong and others to come to see him this time. After all, South Korea was beaten like that by his Wei State. There was no guarantee that the aliens on the grassland would not take advantage of South Korea. Qin Kai was stationed in Yuyang, whether it was against

South Korea is a helpful thing for Wei, and even for the entire Central Plains. When it comes to treating the grassland peoples, the attitude of the Central Plains people has always been very united.

As for what Qin Kai said in the letter, it was not beyond Zhao Run's expectation. It was nothing more than emphasizing the threat of the grassland peoples to the Central Plains and imploring him to provide all kinds of support.

It is worth mentioning that from reading between the lines, Zhao Run felt that Qin Kai was a little uneasy, probably because he did not come to see him in person this time. In view of this, Zhao Run decided to write a reply in his own hand to appease Qin Kai.

, enabling the latter to guard the border without any worries and deter the grassland peoples.

Just as Zhao Run was writing his reply to Qin Kai, Yan Shun, the commander of the Huben Imperial Guard, stepped into the palace, raised his hands and fists and said: "Your Majesty, Le Yi, Xu Li, Jin Pao, Sima Shang, Yan Kui

, Gong Zhongpeng, Tian Ling and other generals are already waiting outside the palace."

"Invite them in." Zhao Run said without raising his head.

"Everyone, please come in?" Yanshun asked hesitantly.

After hearing this, Zhao Run raised his head and glanced at Yan Shun. He immediately guessed Yan Shun's concerns and said with a smile: "He brought his family and his family to come to Wei Dynasty because he sincerely surrendered. There is no need to guard against this and that... Go quickly."

Bar."

"……yes."

Yan Shun clasped his fists and left. After a while, he led seven or eight people including Le Yi, Xu Li, Jin Yao, Sima Shang, Yan Kui, Gong Zhongpeng, Tian Ling and others into the study.

Perhaps because they still had some worries in their hearts, Yan Shun and Tong Xin followed the generals into the study and stood in two corners of the study, forming a triangle with Chu Heng, the guard general next to Zhao Run, to prevent Le

Yi and others suddenly got angry.

Facts have proved that Yan Shun and Tong Xin really thought too much. At least Le Yi, Xu Li, Jin Pao, Sima Shang, Yan Kui, Gong Zhongpeng, Tian Ling and others who came to Wei this time did not

They did not have the hope of turning the tide like Yanmen Guardsman Li Mu. After Li Mu, who was loyal to the country, was united by all walks of life in the country and forced to death, these generals had completely despaired of Korea.

Let's talk about Le Yi, Yan Kui and others. After they arrived at the study room of Ganlu Hall, they were inevitably a little nervous. After all, the person they were about to see was Zhao Run, the monarch of Wei.

Although in the past wars between Wei and South Korea, these generals had more or less dealt with the monarch of Wei, they had only met at close range very few times.

It seems that the only time they met up close was at the end of the third Wei-Korean War, when the two monarchs, King Zhao Run of Wei and Wang Ran of Han, met.

At that time, Zhao Run was only the crown prince of Wei State. It has been more than ten years now.

"Please wait a moment for me to finish writing this letter."

After hearing the sound of Le Yi and others coming in, Zhao Run raised his head and said with a smile, and then motioned to the eunuch Gao He to ask Le Yi and other generals to take a seat in the hall.

"..."

In the quiet palace, the Korean generals looked at Wei Wang Zhao Run who was busy writing a book, and looked at each other quite a bit.
To be continued...
