Chapter 301 Qin Feng Road [Part 1] Mei Yaochen and Qian Yanyuan are a little cautious. The former has just joined Zhao Juan, and although the latter is Zhao Juan's confidant, after all, he has not been in contact with Zhao Juan for more than three years. Their relationship will change. , naturally requires a period of re-adjustment. .But I think the running-in period won¡¯t be too long. Zhao Yan smiled and personally placed a piece of fruit with chopsticks on the jade-like Yaozhou kiln in front of him for everyone who sat down. "The lower officials are terrified!" Du Xiansheng and others lowered their heads. Only Yang Zhen still looked arrogant, picked up the fruit, took a bite, and said: "The taste is really good!" Du Xiansheng, Qian Yanyuan and others immediately glared at Yang Zhen. This guy is so rude. Mei Yaochen was also dissatisfied, but he was new here, and his surname was not a sharp-edged person, so he just glanced at Yang Zhen and focused on Zhao Juan. What makes Mei Yaochen a little strange is that there is no anger or embarrassment on the prince's face at this moment, but a faint smile. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We can conceal the anger in our hearts very well, but it is impossible to conceal it to this degree, right?¡± At best, his face is expressionless. What's going on? "Your Majesty!" Not only Mei Yaochen noticed Zhao Juan's expression at this moment, but also Du Xiansheng and Qian Yanyuan. Du Xiansheng immediately expressed his inner emotions with a greeting full of dissatisfaction. Zhao Juan laughed and said: "Shu Yu is really affectionate, why should you care? And capable people, shouldn't there be no restrictions? The most important thing is that you are all my friends, why should you care about each other? Why are there so many restrictions?" These words made Yang Zhen feel a little angry. He was unruly, but he also wanted to stab Zhao Zhen. Although he knew that what Zhao Juan said was not entirely sincere, Yang Zhen couldn't help but feel a little moved when Zhao Juan said this. "I'm rude!" Yang Zhen was quite free and easy, and expressed his apology happily. Now it was hard for Du Xiansheng and the others to say anything, but they still felt a little unhappy in their hearts. Just when the atmosphere was slightly awkward, Zhao Xun opened the wooden door and walked in with a smile. "Your Majesty, are the cold dishes okay?" "The food in Jingyuanlou is indeed extraordinary. It is worthy of being the first of its kind in the main store of Jingzhao Mansion. Thank you for taking such trouble to entertain me! Only now can I taste such delicious Shaanxi food." Delicious food!" Zhao Yan said with admiration. "That way I can rest assured." Zhao Xun replied with a smile, walking lightly into the hall, revealing four people behind him, all wearing casual clothes. Zhao Juan recognized the person in front of him at a glance. It was Wang Gui. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was still so majestic. If there is any difference from the past, it is probably that his temperament is a bit more iron-blooded. There is a scar on his forehead, which must have been grazed by a flying arrow. "Your Majesty!" Wang Gui's voice was slightly trembling, but more filled with joy. "Here you come? Sit down!" Zhao Yan showed a faint smile, with gentleness in his eyes. "The last general, Shi Ji, the prisoner of Yongping Village, pays homage to the prince!" "The last general, Wang Hengping, the superintendent of Longzhou, pays homage to the prince!" "The last general, Liu Jizong, the superintendent of the Jingyuan Roadside, pays homage to the prince!" Naturally, the three people behind him cannot be like Wang Gui. It's casual, but there is no lack of etiquette. Zhao Juan smiled and gestured with his chin, and said, "It's such a pleasure to meet you. Come and take a seat!" This is a large round table, but it is not high, so everyone who eats is sitting on their knees. This made Zhao Juan feel a little uncomfortable, but it was full of antique charm, giving people the illusion of returning to the Han Dynasty. Zhao Xun and Wang Gui were the first to sit down, and the other three people also sat down one after another. Wang Gui and the others had already introduced themselves at the entrance. When they took their seats, Du Xiansheng and the others also introduced themselves. Taking advantage of this gap, Zhao Juan looked at Shi Ji. At this moment, Shi Ji is wearing a blue round-neck robe, but it can be seen that his family background is not good. Because I moved my chopsticks with a bit of caution, fearing that my sleeves would get stained by the dishes. And even though the round-neck robe is still quite polished, it looks like it has been around for quite some time. I think this dress is only worn when going to banquets, and the clothes I usually wear are not much better. This made Zhao Juan feel somewhat fond of Shi Ji. He might not be completely honest, but at least he was a general who didn't take too much blood from his troops. Shi Ji is not too old, but not too young either. He looks almost forty years old. There was a somewhat melancholy look on his face. Although he was smiling, if you look closely, you can see the reluctance in it. AlthoughIn this way, Shi Ji sat on the edge, his waist still straight. It can be seen that Shi Ji is a very determined person. Having just met, Zhao Juan did not win over Shi Ji. As the saying goes, it is a taboo to make shallow connections and talk deeply, especially for people in high positions like Zhao Juan. It's impossible to accept someone just because of Zhao Xun's few words. But despite this, Zhao Juan also got a lot of news during the conversation, and he also felt that the difficulties in his trip to Shaanxi seemed to be much more than he expected. First of all, from Liu Jizong¡¯s conversation, Zhao Yan felt the contempt hidden in Liu Jizong¡¯s tone as soon as he came into contact with him. Liu Jizong was like this to everyone who gave Zhao Zhen face, so you can imagine how other Western Army generals felt about Zhao Juan. ¡°And Qin Fenglu¡¯s position is quite embarrassing. Why do you say this way? Because although Qinfeng Road is considered a border area, it borders Tubo. Tubo was very good during the Tang Dynasty. Even when the Tang Dynasty was at its most powerful, it could not defeat Tubo. After the Anshi Rebellion, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was once occupied by the Tubo. Before the Tang Dynasty, the western territories and the capital of Anxi were occupied. Places such as Hufu and Longyou Road were all occupied by Tubo. But by now, Tubo has already weakened a lot, and the nominal Tubo Zampu is in name only. It is not so much a kingdom as a tribal alliance. Moreover, the main force of Zunsiluo is no longer in Tibet, but in Qinghai. The number of troops under the direct control of Zunsiluo was even smaller, only 30,000. Not only that, but he was also the king of Tibetan who had good relations with the Northern Song Dynasty, so that he could harass Xixia's flanks and obtain war horses from him. Of course, it was not free. The two sides traded each other through trade. Take what you need. Not long ago, Zuo Siluo had a secret meeting with Liu Huan, the envoy sent by the Song Dynasty, and presented an oath and a map of Xizhou. He was appointed by the Song Dynasty as the envoy of Baoshun Army and the envoy of Hexi Province. Every move shows that Xisiluo and the Northern Song Dynasty are comrades in the same trench, so Qinfeng Road is very safe. The biggest role of Qinfeng Road is to provide food, equipment and soldiers for Jingyuan Road. Zhang Shixun and Lu Yijian were not simple either. Although they sent Zhao Juan to Shaanxi, they were still a little worried about Zhao Juan's military exploits and would not be able to suppress him in the future.
