The royal city of Handan has long stone steps and a cold Longtai Palace.

This ancient city, first built by Zhao Atomong, stands proudly in the center of the Great Central Plains. It is majestic and not inferior to the power of Qin or the power of Chu.

Most Zhao people have the tenacity to refuse to admit defeat. Later it became Yecheng, where they performed the Three Kingdoms on Tongquetai; when it became Handan City, Hebei, it prevented Japanese invaders from infiltrating into the hinterland.

This is generally true for China's unchanging situation.

A city, no matter it declines or prospers, it always contains the historical context belonging to the depth of its culture, and it continues to contain civilization.

Handan City has been planting a kind of flower since the Shennong period.The flower color is mainly dark red, the surface of the pinnate leaves is dark green and the back of the leaves is green and white.If compared to a rose, its color is no less beautiful. If compared to a cold plum, it is no less tough. It is common in all seasons, especially blooming in the snow, forming clumps and sheets, forming a unique brocade under Handan City.

It’s called rose, and it’s called Douxuehong.

Rose has a well-developed root system and is extremely resistant. In spring, the branches germinate quickly and grow strongly. In winter, they stand covered with snow.

A country's war is not just a war.

Before and after the confrontation between the two armies, there were political games between countries and countless people's interest disputes.

Will Li Mu die?Does Li Mu want to die?

I don’t know if such a question is sad or gratifying, deplorable or pity. For the kings of Qin and Zhao, the answer is the same.

On the banks of the Linzhang River, Han Cang's people had just left a restaurant owned by a Qin man.

Zhang Liang stood in front of the bamboo curtain dragging his half-healed body. After watching Zhao Ren leave, he saw a wall of roses in full swing in the snowy sky. The branches of the roses stretched out from the outside of the wall into the inside. Zhang Liang was rarely there. I have seen such beautiful flowers in winter.

He couldn't help but be a little surprised that the declining Zhao capital still had such gorgeous red flowers.

Dunwei was born into a poor family. He developed a good mouthpiece in his early years and became even leaner and stronger as he got older.So he couldn't quite understand what these young people were thinking while leaning on the railing to watch the snow.

Originally, Dunwei didn't like people to work with him. In terms of diplomatic rhetoric, if the deputy had different opinions from the chief, it would easily cause unnecessary controversy.

Especially since this person was not an authentic Qin person. If Zhang Liang had other thoughts, he would be worried that he would suffer as well.

However, Zhang Liang's first impression on him was good as a young man. He was well-educated, spoke in a tolerant manner, and was especially humble towards the old man.Dunruo secretly investigated Zhang Liang's more detailed background. He heard that Zhang Liang had paid a courtesy visit to the old man Huangshi at the Yishui Bridge in Han Dynasty, and he had a good impression of this junior.

The rose flowers are red and the leaves are green, blending with the white snow. The huge flowers hang down from the sandalwood windows of the pavilion.

"Why do so many roses grow in Handan?" Zhang Liang asked.

He smiled weakly and said: "It is a beautiful thing to say. In the past, the queen of King Wuling of Zhao loved roses and ordered people to plant them all over the palace. The old people who went in and out of Zhao Palace brought the flower seeds out of the palace walls. For several generations, , the princes, nobles, merchants and common people of Handan all grow this flower."

After a pause, he boiled the Zhao wine again and scooped some dregs into it. Steam quickly came out of the hanging vessel.

He weakly stroked his beard and said, "Sir's method really worked. Han Cang really promised to appoint Zhao Cong as general instead of Li Mu. In this way, General Wang can deal with Sima Shang more than enough."

Zhang Liang thought that he could not bear the title of "Sir" in Dun Rui's mouth, but Dun Rui said that since he was respected as a teacher by the royal princess, he could bear the title.

Zhang Liang still turned around and bowed with the courtesy of a junior: "If you hadn't been fully prepared and knew Han Cang well, Liang would have no idea."

"Zhao wine is mellow and sweet, and is famous in all countries. Sir, would you like to have a drink?"

After Zhang Liang sat down at the table, he paused and ordered someone to serve him a large glass of hot wine.

"It's freezing cold, sir, I can help you get rid of some of the chill," Dun said weakly.

Zhang Liang could see from Dun Rui's raised hand that although Dun Rui was a minister of diplomatic relations, he was not a formal person in the internal relations, so he no longer shied away.

Zhang Liang saw the rose and thought of Ying Hehua's advice before leaving - if you can achieve it with your best efforts, you should give it a try.If things go wrong and cannot be reversed by human intervention, don't think about anything else. Safety is the most important thing.

"In the past, the wine of Lu was thin and Handan was surrounded. Now Liang and Dunzi are drinking it in front of each other. I wonder what King Zhao will do with General Wu An, the general of Zhao?"

He was weak and did not speak immediately, but drank one glass after another, boiling the lees over the fire, which made the wine thicker and richer.

Although Zhang Liang's drinking capacity was not bad, he was always sick and injured. Later, he seemed more and more unable to do his job.

Dunruo saw that the young man was too drunk, so he smiled at him and buried his head in laughter. After a long time, Lao Dunruo held the wine glass and took another big sip. He was drunk and said with open eyelids: "Wu Anjun If we were from Qin, we would definitely not end up like this."

"Senior?"

Dun Ruo is not a drinker.

Why did he want to get drunk today?

Dun Rui stayed in Zhao State for two years and got used to seeing the wars between various countries in the past two years.Li Mugui was the feudal lord of his country, but his frontier army was not like other vassal states where only children of nobles could join the army. Li Mugui appointed people based on their talents, and he never looked down on anyone's origin.

Dunruo is similar to Yao Jia. Their insignificant origins were poked in the back by many people in this era where nobility was respected.

When there was a vassal state, some kings issued a call: they did not care who their ministers were in the past, they did not care whether they were humble slaves or merchants and petty officials.How could such a country not be fatally attractive to talented people?

Therefore, in the Qin State, there will be Baili Xi, Shang Yang, Lu Buwei, Li Si, and Yao Jia and Dun Rui.

When Dunruo found Zhang Liang through Sima Shang's clues, he received a letter from Princess Ying Hehua from Li Xian, asking him to dig up two roses from Zhao and bring them back to Xianyang when he returned to Qin.

The letter also contained a very strange request: to talk to her teacher about Baili Xi.

... Dunwei has been engaged in diplomacy for half his life, and his mind works very quickly. He had also investigated Zhang Liang's background. Zhang Liang was once a Korean noble, and Korea was destroyed, so he took one look at the words "Baili Xi" and I understood what Ying Hehua really meant.

However, the gap between Baili Xi and Qin Mugong will be too long, and his persuasiveness will be weakened. The current King of Qin is a ready-made benefactor, so it is better to talk about his arrival quickly and effectively.

"The King of Qin agreed to his conditions.

"Sir, I am from Wei. Do you know why I went to Qin?"

"When I first met the king, I said to him, 'I have a bad habit of not paying homage to the king. If the king can exempt me from the ritual of paying homage, I can see the king. Otherwise, I will refuse to see the king.'"

"The King of Qin is looking for talents and wants to appoint the talents of his predecessors, so he will agree to your request."

"That's right. Did you know that with my status in another country, let alone the king, I can't even see any of the minor officials in the country's city?"

Dun Ruo knew that the conversation could not be accomplished in one go. He saw Zhang Liang was thinking every day, and he also drank the wine in his hand.

At this time, Mu Ge heard from Guo Kai.

Weak and healthy, everyone cherishes each other for his master.

"Let's wait for Wu Anjun's final battle."

Taihang Mountain is covered with snow, and Handan is blooming with roses.

I just say that there is no day when the flower will be red, and there will never be a day when the spring breeze does not stop for this flower.One tip of the rouge pen has been peeled off, and the four broken edges are still covered with emerald velvet.

It has a unique fragrance that surpasses that of peaches and plums, but also rivals that of plum blossoms in the snow and frost.It’s time to celebrate the New Year, forgetting that this morning is the winter season.
